Chapter 1330 Human Relationships

As soon as he got home, his younger sister Dandan came over with her child in her arms. Xiaocheng put down what he was holding 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 took 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 scratch 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 for further training 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 cook some big pot dishes, but I still can't cook more sophisticated cuisines, so I might as well learn how to cook.

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. "Xiaocheng 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 though many people in front lost money, there were still more people rushing forward one after another behind. 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, although the Yang family is taking care of it and they are not afraid of the pressure from above, the business will definitely not be as smooth as it is now if the brats below are causing trouble.

Now the annual insurance amount is paid in full, 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 learn to cook, even if they have a certain foundation, they will be able to figure it out in a month or two, even if they don’t even have a door or a window. 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 here in 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. So 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, and 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 recipes 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 cook. When the farmhouse just started, he invited the chef of Yang Jiayan to come and cook to build his reputation.

After that, it was basically the apprentices of the chefs who had just come to practice, and the level of other chefs with smaller scales than him could be imagined.

So you don't have to be much better than your peers, as long as you are slightly better than your peers nearby, and the business is basically good.

"Don't be too tired, there is no end to the money you can make, if you are too tired, just take fewer orders. I will go to pick up Grandpa Xuan and my father-in-law in two days." Yang Dongxu said when sending Xiaocheng back.

"It's okay, it's just a little tiring at the end of the year, and you can have a good rest after this period. Grandpa Xuan and your father-in-law are doing well with me.

Grandpa Xuan takes a walk in the woods every day, and he trained a dog that can catch rabbits. It is a famous good dog in the ten miles and eight villages. The dog breed is the big wolfhounds in our pig farm. Now our paparazzi are in great demand.

Your father-in-law is there to read books, fish, and chat with some fishermen from the city. It's also relaxed and comfortable." Xiaocheng said with a smile.

Xiaocheng was also very happy about the two old people at the reservoir, especially Grandpa Xuan and Zhou Yiren, who were increasingly feeling like masters. Now many people went to the reservoir to see what these two old people looked like.

"Drive slowly on the road." Yang Dongxu told him, knowing that Xiaocheng was very busy now, he didn't delay any more time.

In the afternoon, a small truck arrived at Yangjia Village, and the bacon and other things mailed by the eldest sister's family also arrived. Of course, it was impossible to pull a truck over, after all, it was sent to the family to eat, and the Yang family was not running a store to do business now.

However, although it was not a truckload, most of them were express deliveries bought online by people with computers in the nearby villages. But there were quite a lot of bacon, bacon chicken, processed venison, etc. unloaded from the truck.

"I said that the family doesn't lack these, but they have to make so much every year that they can't eat it. I knew that Xiaocheng would leave later, so that he could take some back for his parents to taste." Yang's mother complained while moving things, and at the same time, she had never smiled before.

Things are secondary. My daughter’s filial piety makes her feel proud when she talks to others.

“Excuse me.” Yang Dongxu handed the driver two packs of cigarettes.

“No trouble, no trouble, it’s my duty.” The driver said with a smile.

The truck loaded with express delivery did not drive to the supermarket to unload the express delivery first, but drove directly to the door of the Yang family to unload the dried goods and bacon first.

When loading the truck, the manager watched the truck get on the truck in person, and there was almost this trip every year. The driver also knew that the Yang family was not simple, so the driver was also very polite.

Moreover, these goods were originally at the back of the car, so it was very convenient to open the door and take them down directly. It didn’t take much time and the driver was also happy to get two packs of good cigarettes.

The things were moved to the yard and put down. Some were kept at home, and some were kept for relatives to carry after a few years. The rest, Yang Yao began to pull the little Wenchen, the naughty child, to deliver some to some elderly people in the village, and then to each family in the same family.

It's almost the same process every year. If the things are delivered early, they will be delivered to relatives and friends before the New Year. If they are delivered late, they will be delivered to every family in Yangjia Village first, and then to relatives and friends after the New Year.

"Hongying is delivering New Year's goods again? I feel embarrassed to eat them every year. Here is the grain wine brought back by your uncle's sports car. He said it is brewed with pure grains and tastes very good. You can take it back and let your father try it."

"This venison is really good. It's not sold outside. Talk to your sister and let's buy some one day. It will be easy to mail after it is dried. Xiao Wenchen, please work hard to carry the winter melon home."

"Take some of the nuts that Daliang just bought from the supermarket in the city."

Every time something is delivered, there are always some return gifts. Some may be a big pumpkin, or even a handful of peanuts in Xiao Wenchen's pocket.

In short, the Yang family is not short of this, and everyone knows it. But return gifts must be given. We are all people who want to maintain our reputation, and we can't do things that are embarrassing and make sarcastic remarks.

"Don't eat so much. Will you eat at dinner later?" Seeing little Wenchen happily chewing a chicken leg that someone had stuffed into his hand, his eyes began to stare at the sugar man made by the old craftsman next to him. Yang Yao kicked him on the butt and told him to leave quickly.

This naughty kid has never eaten well at home since he came back. It's not that he is picky about food. But when he goes out to play, this family gives him some fruits, and that family happens to be eating and eats a few bites. When he and a group of friends use their pocket money to sell firecrackers and remove cow dung, he is still chewing bubble hall and dried fruits in his mouth.

This kid has never been able to eat well all day long. Not only did he not lose weight after not eating much, but he gained several pounds. Yang's mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling and said that it was better to stay in the countryside because the countryside can support people.
