As soon as he arrived home, his younger sister Dandan came up to him with her child in her arms. Xiaocheng put down the things in his hands and rubbed his hands on his body a few times to tease his son.
There were too many guests at the farmhouse at the end of the year and it was too noisy, so my younger sister brought her children to stay at her parents' house to avoid making her son, who was only a few months old, sleepless due to the noise at night.
When Xiao Lanyi first came, Xiao Wenchen was extremely surprised. After all, he was also an elder brother. It's just that the child's hands are neither light nor heavy, and he always makes Xiao Lanyi cry.
His mother would beat him whenever he cried. In addition, this little brother could only stare at him with two big eyes and stretch out his little hands to grab at him. He could not talk to him or play with him.
So within a few days I felt bored, and now I spend the whole day wandering the streets crazy with the kids in the village. When I come back in the evening, I will be curious for a while.
"I heard that you will go to the Yang Family Banquet Kitchen to study after the new year?" Yang Dongxu handed Xiaocheng a cigarette and helped him put some vegetables bought on the street, half a fan of pork, etc. into the back compartment of the pickup truck .
This pickup truck is not the old pickup truck owned by the Yang family, but a new car Xiaocheng just bought this year. Nowadays, when buying new cars in rural areas, they do not rely on their good looks and brand as in later generations. Most of them are based on their practicality and ability to make money.
For example, Yangjiacun has the largest number of large trucks, followed by vans that can pull both people and goods, and the least number of small cars.
"Well, there are recipes for braised pork and so on. I can control the heat well here, so it's considered a success. But you can't open a restaurant with only these two dishes.
My farmhouse is definitely not worth paying for a chef. As a young chef, it's okay to make some big pot dishes, but I still can't make more sophisticated dishes, so I might as well learn how to cook them.
Normally, these stewed vegetables are used as a front, and the little chef cooks in the back. Whenever he meets any important guests, he will cook and entertain them himself, and he can also build a reputation as a farmhouse.
After our farmhouse became a success, many people started thinking about it. Although we contracted the reservoir and built roads, they were unable to open a store near the reservoir.
But in recent years, hasn’t the county vigorously developed rural tourism? In addition, some herbs grown nearby are really beautiful when they bloom, so many people from the city come. So in addition to the restaurants in the market here, there are also several farmhouses appearing in other places. "Xiao Cheng said.
This is how doing business in China is. As long as you see a business making money, the threshold is not high. But soon a large number of people will arrive.
Even if there are many people in front who lose money, there are still more people behind who are rushing forward one after another. Because there are examples of people like Xiao Cheng making money in front of him. He can make money doing this, so why can’t I make money doing this?
So Xiaocheng now admires his uncle's foresight. He was still a little hesitant to contract such a large reservoir, and he also had to build a road to get there.
As a result, my uncle directly decided to take over the full contract. Instead of contracting the reservoir, he also contracted the forest land around the reservoir. Previously, it was said that it was to plant fruit trees, but now it seems that it is actually to buy out those who want to use the reservoir to open a farmhouse. place.
Now the reservoir and the surrounding areas are contracted by him, and there are iron fences around the outside. If you say no outsiders are allowed in, you won't let outsiders in. Don't even think about getting close to the reservoir. Naturally, you can't do business with the reservoir.
Of course, just contracting is not enough. In the past two years, according to the guidance of my brother-in-law, I usually go to the county to visit the water conservancy bureau, industrial and commercial bureau, police station and so on, and look for acquaintances to eat and drink tea.
Coupled with the Yang family's background, no one at the reservoir dared to make mistakes even if there were jealous people. Otherwise, even though the Yang family is taking care of him and he is not afraid of the pressure from above, the kid below will cause trouble and the business will definitely not be as smooth as it is now.
Now the insurance amount is paid in full each year, with legal contracting documents in hand, and there are acquaintances everywhere. Who wants to do some crooked ways to send you to reform through labor in a matter of minutes?
"Then let's learn cold dishes and Sichuan cuisine. It was probably in March and April when you went to learn them. It was not busy at that time. Learning cold dishes well is just in time to be used in summer. Sichuan dishes and other dishes are paired with braised pork and eaten in winter. It's fun to get up and sweat." Yang Dongxu said.
If most people want to learn how to cook, even if they have a certain foundation, it will take them only a month or two to figure out how to cook, even if there are no doors or windows. For a month or two, many apprentices were still making grocery knives without even touching it.
However, Xiao Cheng is obviously a special case, and his master will not worry about his disciples starving to death. Moreover, it is impossible to bring apprentices to the small town of the farmhouse to spread the skills.
At most, when Lan Yi grew up, if she wanted to take over a farmhouse, she would learn the craft from her. Therefore, when the master teaches Xiao Cheng, he doesn't have any inner burden. Why not do it if he can still have a good relationship with the big boss?
And whether it is braised vegetables, cold dishes, or hot pot, the most important thing is the marinade, ingredient water and hot pot base. There are recipes for all three.
Mastering the recipe is almost equal to mastering half of the technology. The rest is just practice makes perfect. Xiaocheng didn't want to be a chef for the state banquet, he just wanted to make his own farmhouse.
Therefore, mastering these formulas is basically considered a high-end existence in farmhouses. As he said, even with his back to the reservoir, it felt like a waste to invite a chef to come and serve. So when the farmhouse just started, he invited the chef of Yang Jiayan to come and serve to build his reputation.
After that, it was basically the apprentices of the chefs who had just come to practice their skills. You can imagine the level of other chefs smaller than him.
So you don’t need to be much higher than your peers. As long as you are a little higher than your peers nearby, your business will basically not be bad.
"Don't be too tired. You can't make enough money. If you're too tired, just skip the tables. I'll go over and bring Mr. Xuan and my father-in-law back in two days." Yang Dongxu said when sending Xiaocheng back.
"It's okay. I just feel a little tired at the end of the year. I'll have a good rest after this period. Mr. Xuan and your father-in-law are fine with me.
Mr. Xuan goes for a walk in the woods every day, so that he can train a dog that can catch rabbits. He is famous as a good dog in villages all over the country. The breed of dogs are the big wolfdogs in our pig farm, and now our paparazzi are in great demand.
Your father-in-law had nothing to do there, reading books, fishing, and chatting with some fishermen from the city. Xiaocheng said with a smile.
It is also very happy for the two old people to be in the small town over the reservoir. Especially Mr. Xuan and Zhou Yiren, they have a growing feeling of being a master. Now many people go to the reservoir to see these two, who are clearly masters at first sight. What does the old man look like?
"Drive slowly on the road." Yang Dongxu ordered, knowing that the small town was very busy now so he didn't waste much time.
In the afternoon, a small truck arrived in Yangjiacun, and the bacon and other items mailed by the eldest sister's house also arrived. Of course, it is impossible to bring a truck over. After all, it is sent to the family to eat, and the Yang family does not open a store for business now.
However, although not all truckloads are filled, most of them are delivered online by people who have computers at home in nearby villages and towns. But there are quite a lot of bacon, cured chicken, prepared venison, etc. that can be moved out of the car.
"I told you that there is no shortage of these at home, but we still have to buy so much every year and can't eat it. If I had known that Xiaocheng would leave later, I would have brought some back to his parents to try." Yang's mother complained while moving things. At the same time, the smile on his face has never been seen before.
Things come second. If my daughter has such filial piety, she will also gain face when chatting with others.
"Trouble." Yang Dongxu handed the driver two packs of cigarettes.
"No trouble, no trouble, it should be." The driver said with a smile.
The truck carrying the express did not drive to the supermarket to unload the express first, but drove directly to the door of Yang's house to unload the dry goods, bacon and other things.
When loading the car, the manager personally watched the people getting on the car, and this trip happened almost every year. The driver also knew that the Yang family's status was not simple, so the driver was very polite.
Moreover, these goods were originally bumped into the back of the carriage. It was very convenient to just open the door and take them out directly. The driver himself was very happy to be able to mix two packs of good cigarettes without wasting much time.
The things were moved to the yard and put down, some were kept at home, and some were left to be carried by relatives when visiting in the next year. Yang Yao, who was left, began to drag Xiao Wenchen, a naughty child, to give some to some elderly people in the village, and then to each family in the same family.
This process is almost the same every year. If the items are delivered early, they will be delivered to relatives and friends before the new year. If the items are delivered late, they will be delivered to each house in Yangjiacun first, and then they will be delivered to relatives and friends after the new year.
"Hongying is here to send new year's goods again? He sends them every year, and he's too embarrassed to eat them. Here's the grain wine your third uncle brought back in his sports car. He said it's brewed from pure grains and tastes good. You can take it back to your dad. Taste it.”
"This venison is really good. It's not sold outside. You and your sister can talk to us about buying some someday. Just dry it and mail it. Xiao Wenchen worked harder to pick up the winter melon and carry it home."
"You can bring back some of the nuts that Daliang just bought from the supermarket in the city."
Every time something is given out, there is always some gift in return, some of which may be a big pumpkin, or even a handful of peanuts put in Xiao Wenchen's pocket.
In short, the Yang family does not lack this, and everyone knows it. But the return gift must be given to those who care about face, and they can't do the kind of thing where they say sarcastic remarks and lose their status.
"Don't eat so much. Are you going to eat for dinner later?" Seeing Xiao Wenchen happily chewing on a chicken leg that someone put into his hand, his eyes started to stare at the old craftsman next to him. Come out candy man. Yang Yao kicked him in the butt and told him to go faster.
This naughty kid hasn't had a good meal at home since he came back. He's not a picky eater. But when we went out to play, this family gave me some fruits, and the other family happened to be eating and took a few bites. Then I and a group of friends took their pocket money to sell crackers to remove the cow dung, chewing bubbles in their mouths. Tang, fruit or something.
This kid has been struggling with his mouth the whole day. He hasn't eaten much since he came back. Instead of losing weight, he has gained several pounds. Yang's mother was so happy that she said it was better to stay in the countryside and raise people in the countryside.
