Chapter 144 Qingyou Long Grain Fragrant Rice

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye.

Since the restaurant launched the Jinyu Mantang Banquet, reservations have been very popular, and many rich families who want to try something new have sent their servants to grab a reservation.Even the merchants who came and went lived directly in the guest rooms on the third floor, and did not check out and leave satisfied until they had tasted all the one hundred and eight dishes.

Qu You chased after the victory and separated an early morning stall on the outer street on the first floor of the hotel. He sent people to supply soybean milk, millet porridge, red date porridge, mung bean porridge, barley porridge and vegetable porridge every day, as well as dried radish and shredded dried tofu. There are several cold side dishes such as scrambled potato shreds and shredded potatoes, and there are several choices of staple food such as Xiaolongbao, steamed dumplings, noodles, and wontons.Breakfast is served every day at [-]:[-], and closes on time at Sishi. If there is something that cannot be sold out, it is not allowed to destroy the pot for sale, and send people to the slums of Xuanwu Street to help the poor beggars.Qu You did not expect that today's small favor would leave the title of Living Bodhisattva among the common people.

Researching recipes, serving new dishes, and holding the God of Cookery Contest, Qu You was extremely busy.Seeing the silver in the small treasury gradually increasing, she couldn't even mention how excited she was.It’s good to be rich. If you have money, you can feel at ease. If you have money, you can experience independence. You can buy two bowls of soy milk, and you can drink one bowl and pour another.The more Qu You thought about it, the happier he became, and he unconsciously smiled.

"Princess Rui's smile seems a bit vulgar." Just when Qu You was fantasizing about becoming the richest man in the Chu Kingdom, King Yan Chu Xu led someone in.

"Prince Yan, Jin An, it's inconvenient for a girl here, so why don't I salute you?" Qu You looked at Chu Xu with uneasy eyes while scratching at the abacus.

"My family, you don't need to see outsiders." Chu Xu sat down beside Qu You without any hesitation.

My family, I am... Qu You secretly spit in her heart.Little girl, I have always believed in three principles. First, what is yours is mine; second, what is mine is still mine; third, everything is mine.Remarks: If there are mistakes in the first two items, please refer to the third item.

"Princess Rui's restaurant..." Seeing Qu You enter Doujin's restaurant this day, Chu Xu's heart felt as if a cat had scratched him, it was unbearably itchy.

"If you have anything to say, just say it straight." I hate men who beat around the bush and babble.

"This king has several shops in Luoning, I wonder if Princess Rui is interested." Chu Xu quietly played the game.

Luo Ning?That's at the feet of the emperor.Qu You rubbed his chin, eyes full of thought.

"Prince Yan wants to open a shop?" Qu You asked.

"Correct answer." Chu Xu nodded.

"How to divide?" Qu You went straight to the point.

"Six to four, I'm six and you four." Chu Xu confidently waited for Qu You to agree.

Six or four points, or he is six and I am four.Ciao, it's just a joke, don't do it.As soon as Qu You heard Chu Xu's words, she immediately lowered her face.

"Prince Yan's wishful thinking is really good. Use my secret recipe, my cookbook, and my cook. You just want to share [-]% of it from a broken shop. Why don't you go to heaven?" Qu Youyi Looking at Chu Xu with contempt, he couldn't stop laughing at his idiot's dream.

"Do you know that without the help of this king, it would be as difficult as heaven for you to enter Luoning." Chu Xu stared angrily, and swished his fan.

"Going to Luoning is as difficult as reaching the sky?" Qu You chuckled, "If you don't let me go, I won't go, and I don't want to go."

"You..." Chu Xu trembled angrily.

The yellow-haired girl has low vision, and with a little achievement, she doesn't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick. Don't you know what it means to have people outside of people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.

"His Royal Highness, we do business with our interests first. If you really want to cooperate with our family, I think you should think about the division." Qu You bowed his head and started to fight got the abacus.

As for the question of division, Chu Xu was taken aback for a moment, and instantly understood what Qu You meant.It seems that this girl is disgusted with the low dividend, and feels that she has suffered a big loss.Well, whoever asks himself to get her, it doesn't matter if he takes a step back.

"How about a fifty-fifty split?"

"Forty or six points, if you lose one point, don't do it." Qu You simply offered an increase.

"Four to six cents, your tone is not small." Hearing the price Qu You raised, Chu Xu's face darkened immediately.

"If you like to do it or not, it's fine if you don't do it." Qu You raised his abacus, picked up the ledger, and wanted to leave.

Four or six points, four or six points... Chu Xu's tangled brows were all over, and in the end the situation was stronger than others.Resigned to fate, he agreed to Qu You's exploitative conditions.

After mutual agreement, both parties signed the contract on the spot.The contract stipulates that the restaurant is fully managed by the Qu family, and Yan Wang's subordinates are not allowed to intervene.Whether it is decoration, exhibition arrangement or display facilities in the hotel.Recipes, cooks, and breakfast stalls are all dishes that will be launched in the future. All the scales must be the same as those in Yanlai County. As long as there is Luoning City in Yanlai County, it will be available, and it will be planned and managed in a unified manner.

Chu Xu lowered his head and read the contract drawn up by Qu You from beginning to end.Looking at the watertight contract in front of him, Chu Xu took another look at Qu Yougao in his heart.This little girl is not so undesirable, although her family background is a bit poor, she is a bit more handsome, her figure is a bit thinner, and she is a bit obsessed with money, but everything else is fine.

After Jin Yu Man Tang stabilized, Qu You completely handed over the hotel to Yuan Feng, and she herself became the shopkeeper who let go, visiting the rice fields and patrolling the farms every day, living a happy life.

Time passed by little by little, and in the days when Qu You ate, slept, and woke up to make inspections, Qinghe Village once again ushered in the autumn harvest season.

"Miss, the experimental fields in our village will definitely have a bumper harvest this time." Looking at the heavy ears of wheat in front of him, Dai Rou straightened up quite accomplished.

"Well, it looks like one mu of land should be able to harvest at least a thousand catties." Qu You stood in the rice field full of wheat ears with his hands behind his back, feeling a sense of pride.The paddy field grain base of Qinghe Village, the future granary supply station of the Great Chu Kingdom.In the future, the rice fields in Qinghe Village will support tens of thousands of Dachu people.

Because it was the autumn harvest, according to last year's practice, all the factories of the Qu family were closed for three days, and the academy was closed for three days.All Qinghe villagers, regardless of men, women, or children, as long as they have good legs and feet, and a handful of strength, all went down to the rice fields and started a three-day autumn harvesting activity.

It is the first time for the villagers in Qinghe Village to experience paddy field harvesting. They use sickles to harvest rice. Without a good sickle, the harvesting work will be extremely tiring.If the handle of the sickle is too long, the whole body will be heavy and easy to get tired, and if it is too short, it will not be able to exert strength.In order to let everyone get familiar with it as soon as possible, Qu You equipped each family with several sickles.

"Everyone empty out the water in the paddy field first, and then put on the water shoes in your hands." Qu You stood in the crowd and loudly demonstrated to the villagers.

"Miss, otherwise I will lead everyone in." Mu Qianhun stepped forward to ask for instructions.

"No, you're not familiar with these jobs, I'll do it myself." Qu You waved his hand to reject Mu Qianhun's kindness, and wearing water shoes, stepped into the paddy fields that had been emptied of water.

Seeing that Qu You had entered, the villagers quickly drained all the water from the rice fields.Then he put on the water shoes again, followed Qu You into the rice field with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

After entering the rice field, Qu You asked everyone to visually observe their own harvesting area. When harvesting, they should harvest according to their own hand shape. After grabbing a handful of rice, aim the sickle at the root of the rice to harvest. The cut rice should be placed flat. If the rice is still a little green, it needs to be placed in the field to dry for about a day.

"That's it, everyone understands." Qu You lowered his head and swung his sickle to cut the first cut of the rice field harvest.

Seeing Qu You's demonstration, the villagers nodded, then bent down, and started the three-day autumn harvest in full swing.More people make it easier to work, and fewer people make it easier to eat.The [-]-acre paddy field of the Qu family was harvested in less than a day.Qu You asked the people to dry the harvested rice and tie them into bundles, and asked An Ran and others to drive the pony horses to pull the bundles home, and put them in a centralized place. First, it was easy to take care of. If the wind and rain come, they can also be covered with a rain cloth.

The three days passed quickly. Although the villagers were too tired to think about it, their eyes couldn't stop burning when they thought of the rice fields that had been harvested.

"Uncle Haisheng, how many catties have you harvested per mu of land in your family?"

"Brother Siquan, your family has finished harvesting rice."

"Aunt Liu Zhen, this time I can marry Brother Chun." On the threshing floor, the villagers couldn't help laughing as they saw the white grains of rice jumping down and piled up as high as a hill. .This is all right, I don’t have to go hungry anymore, even if the poll tax is paid, the remaining food is enough for food and clothing.

"After the threshing is over, gather the rice husks together and take them home to feed some livestock." Qu You pointed to the rice husks scattered all over the ground, and instructed.

Rice husks can also be fed to livestock. The villagers looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.I haven't heard of it. If I had heard of it over the years, who would throw away these things? They would have gathered them up like treasures.

Hey... Qu You sighed silently.

It's no wonder that they don't know that the Li family in Qinghe Village were originally descendants of aristocratic families who couldn't lift their shoulders or lift their hands.If it weren't for the catastrophe in the late emperor's time, perhaps these people in front of them would still be masters and young masters.

"See if it's a good day, let's thresh the rice first..." Qu You waved his hands, and continued to direct everyone to thresh the rice without wanting to talk.

After the autumn harvest was over, Qu You asked someone to count. Almost every family in the village had a harvest of [-] to [-] jin, and only a few specific households had an output of more than [-] jin.Of course, these few families have a good relationship with the Qu family, and they are all families in the rice fields where Qu You sprinkled the amethyst land.

Qu's [-]-acre paddy field harvested a total of [-] dan of rice.Looking at the white rice piled up in front of him as high as a hill, Qu You felt sad.She really didn't expect that the amethyst land would be so useful. With just a little dusting of the land powder, so much grain could be grown. Not only the yield was high, but the quality was also very good.The long-grain white rice smells like flowers, and this commercial slogan flashed in Qu You's head.

That's right, why didn't she think of it, she could open a grain store, since Qinghe Village has been decided to become Yanlai's grain base, the rice must be made famous first, right?Once you've decided, let's do it, Qu You waved his little hand, and opened the grain shop...

"Kailiang shop..." In the evening, at the Qu family's dining table, Qu Yi touched Qu You's forehead in disbelief.

"There's so much food that I can't finish it, what's the matter if I don't open the food?" Qu You tilted her head, looking at Qu Yi very puzzled.

"Then you can't say it's the wind or the rain, right?" The second uncle put down the bowl and chopsticks, and sighed heavily.This child Xiaoyou is really capable of tossing around, tofu shop, pastry shop, furniture factory, jinyi shop, Jinyu Mantang, and now she wants to open a grain shop, what else is she afraid to do.

"Second Uncle, you forgot our agreement." Qu You turned to look at Qu Qiusheng, trying to jog his memory.

"Agreement, what agreement?" Grandpa Qu asked curiously.

"Let Yanlai County become the grain base of the Great Chu State, so that when people eat rice, they will unconsciously think of Qinghe Village and our Qu family." Qu You softly weaves a wonderful dream.

All the rice in the world comes from Qinghe.The Qu family took a deep breath, shocked by Qu You's ambition and ambition.Everyone looked at Qu You with trembling lips, wanting to ask, but afraid of breaking the dream.

"Yes, it's possible." Grandpa Qu's lips trembled, his hands trembling with excitement.

"As long as we have the courage to take the first step, nothing is impossible." Qu You looked at the members of the Qu family seriously, and his tone was loud and undeniable.

"Okay, then let's do it..." Grandpa Qu slapped the table vigorously and made a decision in an instant.

The world-famous Qingyou Daoxiang rice was finally decided on the Qu family's dining table.According to Qu You's character that it is wind or rain, early the next morning, she sent someone to the village square to ring the emergency assembly bell.

when... when... when...

The bell struck twelve times, and all the villagers who were on vacation in the village rushed over.

"Everyone, come forward, the boss has something to say." Dongzi was directing beside him.

"Boss, what's the matter, just tell me." Tao Shi, who had been at odds with the Qu family, now patted his chest and stared at Qu You.

"Yeah, Master, whoever bullied you, tell my old lady, I'll tear her apart." The village head's wife, Feng Shi, raised her hand and gestured forward, as if she was desperately looking for someone.

Now the family conditions are good, the grandson goes to school, the man and his son and daughter-in-law are all working in Qu’s factory, and she can go to Jinxiu Workshop to do odd jobs when she has nothing to do. Such a good life is thanks to Qu You, she does not want Qu Who is Yu facing.

"Everyone, don't worry, be safe and don't be impatient." Huan Shan stepped forward and smiled softly, calming the excited villagers.

"Hey, look at our Miss Huanshan, she is really like everyone, and the people around the lady are amazing." Liu said jokingly.

"The people around my master can't do enough. If anyone marries Miss Huanshan from now on, it's really a smoke from the ancestors." Tao Shi also opened his mouth and flattered.

"That's not it, looking at the water spirit of these girls, it really makes people more and more happy." Several aunts talked and laughed, and commented as if no one else was there, making the faces of the girls around Qu You flushed.

"Miss, look..." Dai Rou pouted and stomped her feet vigorously.

"Okay, okay, the aunts are just joking." Huanshan took Dairou's hand and comforted her with a funny face.

I've been by Miss's side for several years, but I'm still so childish.Huanshan shook her head, reached out and patted Dairou on the back, letting her nestle in her arms and act coquettishly.

when... when... when...

The big clock in the village square was still ringing, and the villagers who were off work, the students after class, and Chu Yu and Chu Xu who came uninvited came.

Standing in the center of the square, Qu You looked at the crowd in front of him. He cleared his throat, and opened his mouth elegantly, "I think everyone should have weighed the rice. How is the harvest?"

"My family harvested [-] catties per mu of land." Li Haicheng bared his teeth proudly.

"My family weighs more than 900 catties per mu." Li Siquan puffed out his chest proudly.

"My family is eight hundred and eighty per mu."

"my home……"

Hiss... One mu of land actually collected nearly a thousand catties. Chu Xu suddenly opened his eyes wide when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Chu Yu in disbelief, wanting to seek an answer from him.

yes.Chu Yu nodded silently.

Could this be caused by that stinky girl Qu You again? Chu Xu continued to listen in disbelief.

"Everyone's results are announced, so let me talk about mine." Qu You smiled and threw a bomb very calmly. "My family harvested 1000 jin of fragrant rice from paddy fields per mu, and tens of thousands of rice from a hundred mu."

After Qu You finished speaking, there was a gasp in the crowd.Qin Yufeng and the others looked at Qu You in the middle of the square in shock, as if they couldn't believe the information they heard.

"Old Nine, you have found a good concubine." One mu of land weighs 1000 jin, and a hundred mu of land yields tens of thousands of loads. This time Chu Xu is completely restless.

"That's..." Chu Yu opened the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly.

I wiped it, I laughed so cheaply.Chu Xu looked away contemptuously, not wanting Chu Yu's stupid smile to hurt his eyes.

"The rest, what I want to say is related to the vital interests of every villager. After I finish speaking, those who don't want to join can choose to quit." On the square, Qu You was still talking freely.

"Boss, you said..." Everyone said in unison.

"When planting seedlings in spring, I communicated with my family and expressed my opinion to my grandfather. I said, I want all the rice in the world to come from Qinghe Village." Qu You's expression was serious, and his tone contained an irresistible majesty.

The world's rice comes from Qinghe, which is really a big tone.Chu Yu and Chu Xu looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Qu You slowly announced the decision, and after she finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.The villagers lowered their heads and studied in a low voice. There seemed to be great differences on whether to participate or not to participate.

"Boss, my family will become a shareholder." Zhang and Li Siquan stood up from the crowd to support Qu You without even thinking about it.

"Boss, we will also participate." Village head Li Xiran ignored Feng's muttering and raised his watch.

"Fuck, labor and capital are going all out, anyway, the boss will not starve to death." Li Haisheng walked out of the crowd with his feet up.

"Yes, we also follow the boss."

"Where the shareholders go to Huanshan to put their fingerprints, we will start from the grain store." Qu You waved his hand proudly, leading everyone to the wooden table placed in the square.

The villagers lined up in an orderly manner, one family next to the other, and none of the [-] households in Qinghe Village was left behind.After the contract was signed, Qu You asked each family to save the rice for food, and sell the rest to her at a price of [-] Wen per catty.She divided Daoxiang rice into two catties, five catties, ten catties, twenty catties, fifty catties and one hundred catties.And gave Daoxiang rice a nice name, called 'Qingyou Long Grain Daoxiang Rice'.
