Restart the Disaster of Another World

Because there were too many raw materials to buy, he went to several places just to get the necessary raw materials. As for the fruits, sugars, and some of the necessary spices, they could only be bought in pharmacies, and each store did not have much stock. It took Jing Yao an entire afternoon to buy everything.

Wen Qun and Wen Yu were at home processing the remaining spices. Although Wen Yu was a scholar, he was not the weak and frail type. He usually looked elegant, smiling, and behaved like a gentleman, but he thought he was still strong. However, after working with spices for an afternoon, he could no longer smile.

When Jing Yao came back, he was surprised to see that all the spices were almost finished. After all, he didn't take Wen Yu's offer to help seriously. He rushed back because he was afraid that Wen Qun would be tired from doing too much by himself. Now it seems that his brother-in-law is still very reliable.

"Brother, Qun Qun, you guys take a rest first, I'll do the rest." All that was left were some peppercorns and chili peppers, which he could finish by himself.

"In that case, I won't be polite." After saying that, Wen Yu went back to the living room to drink water. Wen Qun wanted to stay and help, but Jing Yao asked him to go out and rest.

Jing Yao was very strong and did these things quickly, but it still took him quarter of an hour to finish the rest.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door. It was Wen Luo's eldest son bringing pork.

"Jing Yao, my father has already slaughtered the pig you wanted and processed it according to your requirements. Take a look and see if it's correct." Daping took all the meat off the cart and placed it in the yard for easy inspection.

Jing Yao looked at the processed meat and nodded. He was indeed a professional butcher, as he had processed it exactly as he had requested.

"These are for today. I'll slaughter them tomorrow morning and bring them to you."

"You've worked so hard. Thank Uncle Wen Luo for me."

After confirming that everything was correct, Jing Yao took out the money to pay the bill and Daping drove back. Then several delivery companies came to Jing Yao's door one after another.

The next step was to process the raw materials. Jing Yao felt helpless as he looked at the various ingredients piled up in the yard. He thought that this would not work. Although the seasonings had to be kept secret, it was also possible to separate the processes. He could keep the important ones in his hands and divide the unimportant ones. If he did everything himself, he would be exhausted.

"With so many things, when will we be able to finish dealing with them?" Wen Yu asked Wen Qun sincerely. He had never done much work before, so he really didn't know.

Wen Qun was silent for a while before he said uncertainly: "Three or four days."

Wen Yu: “…”

Wen Qun was also a little embarrassed, as if they had taken a big order!

"Why don't we find someone to help? It might be a bit difficult for just the three of us," Wen Yu suggested.

If he were to open a factory in the future, he wouldn't be able to do everything by himself. Some things could definitely be delegated, so he asked.

Wen Qun couldn't give a direct answer and had to ask Jing Yao. In fact, he wanted to do it himself, but Jing Yao had told him about this problem: there is no end to making money, and the key is to make money reasonably.

Jing Yao had just had this idea when Wen Qun asked him, so of course he would not refuse.

But who should he find? This was a problem. To be honest, he was not very familiar with the people in the village. He only knew a few men.

Wen Yu asked him about the requirements for the people, and then he went back to find his mother and asked her to help him find someone to ask. Although he was a wealthy family in the village and didn't have much contact with those women, he had lived there for so many years and had some understanding of people's nature. He sent Granny Li to ask, and soon brought back 6 people.

They were all aunts from the village. They were kind and good at their work. Jing Yao knew several of them. He had seen them at banquets at the head of the village before. They were all married to people with the surname Wen, so they were called by their surnames. When the aunts heard about the work he was going to do, they had no objection.

Wen Qun divided the people into three teams, assigning two people to chop the meat and slice it, two people to handle the fruit peels, and two people to handle the fish, and then asked them to do it in the yard. The rest they did in the kitchen. With so many helpers, the speed was much faster, and some of the food was done by dark.

We had agreed to work overtime today, so everyone went home to eat and then came back to continue working. Because we needed to use the kitchen, which contained things like pressure cookers that were not suitable for public viewing, we did not allow anyone into the kitchen, and naturally we could not provide meals.

After seeing the guests off, Wen Yu lay ungracefully on the recliner in Jing Yao's house, waiting for dinner. Wen Qun was boiling water and cooking noodles in the kitchen, which was the fastest food to be prepared.

Jing Yao went to the village chief's house. He wanted to ask someone to help collect firewood and send it to his house. High-pressure steam requires burning a large amount of firewood, and he doesn't have the time to collect it himself.

After the three of them finished eating the noodles, several aunts came back and started a new round of work. After processing all the ingredients bought by Jing Yao, they asked them to go back first and come back tomorrow when other ingredients were delivered.

Wen Qun has already put the spices in and marinated them. Jing Yao and Wen Yu only need to be responsible for the final disinfection before canning, so they worked very quickly today and have already completed one-fifth of the order. Wen Qun wanted to continue but was stopped by Jing Yao. It was already ten o'clock in the evening, so he asked them to go to bed first.

It was already too late for the people of Dayu who went to bed early and got up early. Jing Yao closed the door and took a torch to send them home, then went back to take a shower and sleep.

The Cao family in the capital city has been in the restaurant business for generations. The young master of the Cao family likes to collect all kinds of delicacies everywhere, which not only satisfies his foodie heart, but also brings profits to the restaurant by providing new food.

His actions were praised by his grandfather, which is why no one can accuse him of being a food discoverer even when he plays outside all day.

He returned to Donghai County after his last voyage a few years ago. He had to go out only because a friend made an appointment with him at the dock. But this time he found that everything had changed. The road from the city to the dock was no longer the dilapidated mud road, but a neat stone road.

The wide road meant that even if he met a carriage going in the opposite direction, he would not have to waste time trying to pass the other carriages, and the time taken to get to the dock was much shorter. This made him look forward to the dock, but when he arrived, he found that only the road had changed, the dock remained the same, which made him a little disappointed.

After parting with his friend, he was about to go back, but he was attracted by a strange hawking. The boss said that this was their exclusive food, and there was only one in Dayu. He couldn't help but get curious. He had eaten food from all over the country, and there was very little he didn't know. He would not miss it and wanted to try it himself. When he put it in his mouth, he found that it was really so novel and delicious. He immediately bought some and prepared to take it back for his grandfather to taste.

When he returned home, it was already afternoon. It was the end of the year and his brothers and uncles who had been away had all returned and were talking to his grandfather in the yard. He hurried over to pay his respects.

"Meet grandparents, parents, uncle and aunt, third uncle and aunt, eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and fifth brother."

"Fourth boy, you are finally back. Your uncle was just talking about you. The cakes you brought back this year are pretty good. Our restaurant's business has improved a lot thanks to them."

Cao Xinping has been the head of the Cao family all his life. When he was young, he married a concubine's daughter from a wealthy family to make a fortune. He took over his own restaurant from his eldest brother and made it a great success. His sons are very successful, his daughters are well married, and his grandsons are also becoming successful. He is very proud of himself.

"Grandpa, this is what I should do." Cao Yu was very proud to hear his grandfather's praise.

"Xiao Yu, you've worked hard this year and traveled to many places. This time, come back and have a good rest." Cao Zhengyuan said lovingly.

"Brother, don't bother with him. He's used to being wild outside. He won't be happy if you tell him to stay at home." Cao Zhengming, who is also Cao Yu's father, said with a smile.

"Uncle, it's my humble intention to help the restaurant. I don't feel it's hard work. Grandpa, I also brought back some new food today. Take a look." Cao Yu said and changed the subject directly.

"Oh, take it out and let us see." Cao Xinping said quickly when he heard that there was new food.

"Grandpa, look." Cao Yu took out the canned cured meat he had just bought. "These can be eaten right out of the can. They can also be reheated to make them taste better. These need to be cooked, and this is used for cooking."

After that, he took out some and asked the kitchen to make them. Then he took out some bowls and chopsticks, opened the ones that could be opened and put them in each bowl. He introduced them one by one, "This is luncheon meat, which can be eaten directly or heated. This is fish. This is spicy sauce, which needs to be eaten with rice. It will be very spicy if eaten alone. This is canned pork."

Cao Xinping tasted them one by one with chopsticks. "Yes, this canned luncheon meat has a unique texture and tastes great. The canned pork and fish are made with exquisite ingredients and have extraordinary flavors. What is this spicy sauce? It is very appetizing. One bite makes people unable to stop."

"Grandpa, these canned foods are made with some precious spices. I can't even tell how many kinds of spices are used in many of them. They are truly worthy of the word exclusive." Cao Yu put the chopsticks in front of each person, and said with satisfaction when he saw the surprised expressions on everyone's faces after eating.

"Indeed, I can only taste some spices. Where do you buy this?" asked Cao Xinping.

"East China Sea Pier."

"I don't know where these are produced from, but they would be nice if they were sold in restaurants." Cao Zhengyuan is the current manager of the restaurant, and he knows best which nobles like these exquisite and exotic foods.

"And this, canned fruit."

"What's the method of making this? Not only does the fruit taste good, but it's also sweet but not greasy." Grandma Cao was not that surprised by the canned meats. She was just curious about the novelty. She liked the canned fruit very much.

"Yes, the canned food here tastes better than fresh fruits." Cao Xinping nodded.

"Grandpa, this can has another feature, which is that it has a long storage time. It can be kept fresh for half a year to a year without spoiling." Cao Yu lined up the outer packaging of the cans in a row and knocked on them one by one, and the iron sheet made a popping sound.

"So magical." Cao Zhengming, the second son of the Cao family, said in surprise.

"Yes, Dad."

"In this case, the price of this thing will not be cheap." Cao Xinping has lived in Donghai County all his life. Naturally, he knows that there is everything in shipping here, except food, because it spoils too easily. If there is something that does not rot for half a year, you can make a lot of money.

"But I heard from the seller that this thing was just made and it's the first time he's selling it. I'll go see next time if I can get him to sell me the recipe." Cao Yu said regretfully.

"Okay, okay, you do it. Money is not a problem. Second brother, increase the fourth boy's share by half this year." Cao Xinping was satisfied.

"Thank you, Dad." Cao Zhengming was in charge of the restaurant's accounts. Since his son was valued by his father, he could also benefit from it.

Cao Zhengyuan looked at his proud brother and nephew, then at his own sons who only knew how to eat, and sighed. He had four sons, and they were all mediocre in talent. It was only through his constant guidance that he could get a few words of praise from the old man. However, his second brother had only one son and he did not have to worry about anything, and he was free to do things according to his rules.

The brothers of Cao family were innocent because they didn't value their father as much as he did. They also wanted to share the burden of the family and learn from their fourth brother and fourth brother to know what ingredients the food was made of and how to cook it just by tasting it. But they just didn't have that ability!

Before dawn in the morning, Wen Luo drove to Jing Yao's house, woke him up, brought the pork Jing Yao wanted into the house and left. Jing Yao yawned and closed the door. He looked at the time and saw that it was not yet seven o'clock. He didn't know how early they got up. After all, the pig was slaughtered in the morning. Jing Yao prepared to cook something to eat and then go to work.

He hadn't started eating after the meal was ready when the people who had helped yesterday arrived. Everyone had eaten at home before coming, so they started working on their own. Jing Yao quickly finished his meal and went to help.

After a while, the firewood deliverers came one after another carrying bundles of firewood. Jing Yao paid them in cash directly according to the market price, and no one objected.

Wen Qun and Wen Yu arrived a little later, and Jing Yao thought that his brother-in-law would not come today. Unexpectedly, he not only came today but also worked hard without complaint, except that his face was a little sour.

Wen Qun whispered to Jing Yao: "Brother went home very hard yesterday. When he got up today, his hands still hurt. Father told him to write more. If he writes more, the pain will go away. If his hands still hurt today, he should write a few long characters when he goes home."

Jing Yao discovered that his father-in-law always acted noble and serious in front of outsiders, but in fact he had two different faces towards the children. He would love and care for them, but also tease and tease them.

The day passed in a busy manner. Because Wen Qun worked the fastest, he also took care of making lunch. There were only a few stoves in Jing Yao's house, and he needed to sterilize cans, so Jing Yao set up a temporary one in the yard to cook for him.

After a busy day, we not only completed the order but also exceeded it by a lot, all of which were canned food and chili sauce. As for bacon and sausage, they not only had to be marinated in advance, but also had to be smoked with pine and cypress trees. So they were not included in this batch of orders.

For the next three days, everyone followed this schedule and worked non-stop. Soon, the bedroom and kitchen in Jing Yao's old house were filled with goods.

When Jiang Xu came to collect the goods, he took all the extra goods he saw, paid them promptly, and then drove away with a few horse-drawn carriages. Next, he would lead his men and horses to weigh anchor and set sail without stopping, so as to bring the cargo back in the first wave after the New Year.

Jing Yao and his men could finally take a break. He first gave each of the women who helped with the work 600 coins as wages. It was a considerable sum of money for them. With this money they could have a good New Year.

Because they helped a lot, Jing Yao forced Wen Yu and Wen Qun to send red envelopes. Wen Yu's was just an ordinary red envelope. Although the amount was a little more, it was still within the normal range. After all, he knew how much money Jing Yao earned.

The remaining money was all given to Wen Qun. He didn't want Jing Yao to persuade him, "The money for buying materials has been deducted. These are pure profits. Because we have spent most of the first sum of money, I want to give the second sum of money to my husband for safekeeping, otherwise I will squander it all soon."

Wen Qun thought about how fast Jing Yao spent money and didn't refuse, so he just accepted it. Even if he kept it for safekeeping, he would just give it to Jing Yao when he wanted to spend it.
