Happy Comeback [Quick Transmigration]

In the afternoon, after Qiao Chen's father, Guangdehou, returned to his residence, Qiao Chen went to see him. The father and son hadn't seen each other for several years, and they didn't seem very warm to each other. Xiao Su only said some words of warning to Qiao Chen, and Qiao Chen also Just agreed, there is no more words.

On the contrary, seeing her son's temperament changed drastically today, Mrs. Shu couldn't help but feel puzzled. After she settled all the things she brought back, she came to Qiao Chen's yard.

"Are you feeling better? Are you still suffering?" Shu asked Qiao Chen with concern.

"I'm much better after taking the medicine, so mother doesn't have to worry." Qiao Chen replied.

Mrs. Shu asked all the maids serving in the room to watch outside, and then asked Qiao Chen in a low voice, "What's wrong with you today? As soon as you come back, you will give Aunt Xu a blow. You were not like this before."

"It's nothing. I just pretended to be my grandson in front of the old lady for more than ten years. I've pretended enough. I don't want to pretend anymore from now on."

"What are you pretending to be a grandson, you are her grandson in the first place." Shu gave Qiao Chen a reproachful look.

"Mother, you don't have to bear it anymore, just take out the wife's money, and your son will support you in everything." Qiao Chen knew what kind of life his mother had spent in front of the old lady these years, and he would never Let my mother suffer again.

After listening to Qiao Chen's words, Shu's heart was greatly moved. Even if Qiao Chen just used words to make her happy today, she felt that all the hardships she had suffered all these years were worth it.I think that ever since she married into this family, the old lady has disliked her, made things difficult for her everywhere, even praised a concubine's room higher than her, and her husband is a pedantic and filial person. You can't even get what you say, let alone speak for her.

Since Shu's parents passed away, her elder brother went to a remote place to be an official, and she didn't even have a natal family who could speak for her, and the old lady didn't think much of her.Her identity sounds like a Mrs. Hou, but she is overwhelmed by a concubine everywhere. Who can understand the pain in her heart?

But if a person wants to survive, there must always be someone to rely on in his heart. The only hope for Shu's life is Cheng Jingyun. She doesn't ask for Cheng Jingyun's achievements, nor does she ask for Qiao Chen's ability, as long as he can be healthy and healthy. Just live.

Normally, when Shu was tortured by the old man, he would complain to his son. Cheng Jingyun only used some words of filial piety to persuade her to be more patient, and never said such words now.Now that Qiao Chen wanted to support her, no matter whether Qiao Chen could do it or not, she was satisfied.

"I'm afraid that what Mrs. Xu said today is not all false. When I was in the south, I heard your uncle mention something to your grandmother. Let's not offend them too much, lest he go outside. I intentionally made things difficult for you." After all, Shu was still worried that Qiao Chen would suffer a disadvantage when he went out, after all, they just came back, and Cheng Jingrui was already full-fledged in Luodu City these years.

"Is mother willing to trust her son?" Qiao Chen looked at Shu seriously and asked.

"The question is, besides you, mother, who else can I trust?"

"Then mother will follow my words from now on, don't be afraid of their mother and child, show the aura of your wife, suppress what should be suppressed, and establish rules when should be established. We have endured them for so many years, and we don't have to endure them anymore. The reason why my son has studied painting so hard for so many years is to suppress Cheng Jingrui. Even when the old lady came back, she used filial piety to pressure us to suffer. She insisted on putting up with their mother and son. At worst, we would leave the house so that our son could support his mother. "

Shu Shi used to think that his son was the weakest by nature, and he would not compete with others, but he didn't expect that he had been holding back all these years.

Thinking of his son practicing painting day and night, he thought it was just because he likes to paint, and it turned out that there was such a reason in it, Shu agreed, "Okay, mother will listen to you, and we will never suffer from them again." angry."

……

A few days later, Qiao Chen came to a restaurant in Luodu City, ordered the best private room and ordered a few signature dishes.

"Call your boss over here, what kind of dish are you cooking, it's so unpalatable." Qiao Chen slapped his chopsticks on the table after taking a few mouthfuls.

Xiao Er saw that Qiao Chen was looking for trouble, so he immediately ran out to find the shopkeeper.

"Looking at it objectively, I wonder which family's son it is?" The shopkeeper asked Qiao Chen's identity first, without asking other questions. Seeing Qiao Chen's dress and manner, he knew that he was not the son of an ordinary family, but he didn't know which family it was. , it is not easy for him to respond immediately.

"I said that your food is not good, so why do you care who I am? Also, I am looking for your boss, are you the boss?" Qiao Chen said in a tone of impatience.

"The shopkeeper here, if there is something wrong with me objectively, just tell me." The shopkeeper didn't know Qiao Chen's identity, so he didn't dare to offend him easily.

"Call your boss over here, and I'll tell him in person what's wrong with your food." Qiao Chen knew the identity of the owner of the restaurant. He had a lot of business and didn't usually work in this restaurant, but Qiao Chen also knew The boss must be here today.

"Our boss is not here today. If the young master thinks the food is not to your taste, why don't you go to another place to eat first?" Their boss is not easy to meet with anyone they want, and the shopkeeper has already begun to get a little impatient with Qiao Chen's intentional faultfinding. To be able to open such a large restaurant in Luodu City, their boss is not completely without background.

"What? Do you think I'm deliberately finding fault with your dishes?" Qiao Chen said, "With all the dishes you cook, it's no wonder that all the guests have gone to Qianxing Qingxing Building."

As soon as Qiao Chen said this, the shopkeeper's complexion immediately turned bad. Qingxing Restaurant has robbed them of a lot of business in the past two years. If it weren't for the fact that their restaurant is a time-honored restaurant that has been open for many years and supported by a few good cooks, Probably closed down like other restaurants.

"What you said is that Qingxing Restaurant's dishes are only novelty, and the chefs in our restaurant have been cooking solidly for many years." The shopkeeper defended his restaurant.

"A dish has been made for decades, but the taste has not improved, so what if it is cooked for hundreds of years?"

"Young master, tell me what needs to be improved on our dishes." The shopkeeper was very unconvinced, these are the best signature dishes in their shop, and he didn't believe that Qiao Chen, who can't cook, could tell. Why come.

Qiao Chen picked up the chopsticks and began to say one by one, "The skin of this sweet and sour fish is not crispy at all, and the meat is falling apart. And this braised lion's head, the meat is too old and tasteless, and the chicken soup is too oily and not fresh enough. Braised pork ribs are too tough..."

Qiao Chen singled out seven or eight of the most proud signature dishes of this restaurant, and said that the shopkeeper's face became more and more ugly, making it even more certain that Qiao Chen came to find fault today on purpose.

The shopkeeper endured the urge to ask someone to throw Qiao Chen out and said, "If you follow your request, I'm afraid it would be difficult for a god to cook a good dish, right?"

"I don't need a fairy, I can make it for you." Qiao Chen put down his chopsticks and said.

"You can do it?" The shopkeeper looked Qiao Chen from head to toe again. He looked like a man of aristocratic family. He probably had never even entered the kitchen before. The shop is in trouble, we won't charge you any money for this table, you should go to another place to eat."

Qiao Chen took out a 100 tael silver note and slapped it on the table, "I want to borrow your kitchen. If the dishes I cook can't make your cooks admit that they are not as good as mine, the 100 tael The banknotes belong to you, and I will never set foot in your Hongyun Tower again."

"Okay, but if you refuse to admit it at that time, don't blame us for being rough on you." The shopkeeper agreed after thinking about it.

Qiao Chen came to their kitchen with the shopkeeper, but before he entered the kitchen, he asked the shopkeeper to call out all the cooks. When he was cooking, there could only be him and the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper standing by was ready to wait and see how Qiao Chen was in a hurry, but he was a little surprised when he saw Qiao Chen's skillful way of preparing ingredients and chopping vegetables, but he didn't believe that Qiao Chen could do it at all. He cooks the dishes so well as he said, so what if he knows how to cook a few dishes?Could he really be better at cooking than the cooks they have been working for decades?

When the aroma of Qiao Chen's cooked dishes wafted out, the shopkeeper stood aside and couldn't help swallowing, watching Qiao Chen finish each dish, his eyes almost widened.

Qiao Chen washed his hands after finishing the left and right dishes, and asked the shopkeeper to ask Xiao Er to bring the dishes he had prepared to his private room.

The shopkeeper looked at the back of Qiao Chen walking out of the kitchen, and at the same time looked at the few dishes that made people drool, and wanted to taste them first before letting Xiao Er serve them, but he was afraid of spoiling the presentation. It was seen by Qiao Chen that he couldn't help stealing it.

The shopkeeper endured and endured, like a thief, he picked up a small piece of meat from the sauerkraut sliced ​​meat soup with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and then his eyes widened in disbelief. He had clearly watched the whole process just now , but he didn't see how Qiao Chen managed to make the meat so tender, he was even reluctant to swallow the chewed pieces of meat.

When the shopkeeper's chopsticks reached out to the braised pork ribs next to him again, Qiao Chen suddenly appeared at the kitchen door again and called, "The shopkeeper's."

"Ah! Ah?" The shopkeeper was startled and quickly hid the chopsticks behind his back.

"There are two dishes that are delicious while they are still hot, so hurry up and get them served." Qiao Chen said.

"Oh, okay, okay, I'll let someone serve the food right away." The shopkeeper responded quickly.

When Xiao Er served the food, many guests who smelled the aroma came over to see it. When they wanted to order the same dish, the Xiao Er looked embarrassed and didn't know how to explain it to other guests.

"Let your cooks taste it, and see what they say." After Qiao Chen finished speaking, he was about to walk behind the screen.

"You don't need to call the cook, I'll taste it myself." A middle-aged man with a round face and gorgeous clothes approached.

Qiao Chen turned around and looked at the person who came in. He had already figured out who this person was, but he still asked, "Who is this?"

"This is our boss." The shopkeeper said.

"Mr. Zhang Hong, may I ask your surname?" Zhang Hong, the owner of Hongyun Building, asked.

Qiao Chen glanced at him, then at the shopkeeper and Xiaoer, but didn't speak.

"You guys go down first, I'll have a chat with this young master alone." Zhang Hong said to the others.

Before the shopkeeper went out, he looked at the dishes on the table reluctantly, swallowed again, and took them out the door.

"Boss Zhang, please, try to see how my cooking compares with your cooks." Qiao Chen sat down at the table and said.

After sitting down, Zhang Hong stretched his chopsticks towards the sweet and sour fish, and after putting it into his mouth, he praised repeatedly, "Well, it's fragrant, crispy, and the meat is fresh and delicious."

Before Qiao Chen had time to try it, Zhang Hong ate up the whole plate of sweet and sour fish by himself, and then turned his goal to boiled fish. This time he didn't even have time to talk and sigh. I was sweating profusely after eating and didn't stop to wipe it off.

"Boss Zhang, don't just eat fish, try other dishes too." Qiao Chen said intentionally.

Sure enough, Zhang Hong continued as Qiao Chen wished, "Zhang loved fish the most in his life, and he would feel uncomfortable if he didn't eat fish for a day. I thought I had eaten the best fish in the world, but I didn't expect to compare myself with these two fishes today." Wake up, the fish I ate before are really nothing."

"Since Boss Zhang loves fish so much, I have a fish booklet that I can borrow for Boss Zhang to have a look." Qiao Chen took out a bound booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Boss Zhang.

Boss Zhang opened the first page of the brochure and saw a picture of a soup dish mixed with fish and chicken, next to it was written "playing dragon and phoenix", and the second page was a picture of squirrel and mandarin fish..., page by page Looking back, these paintings are all painted in colored ink. Not only are the paintings very realistic, but they also look so compelling that people can't help but want to try them. Admired, "It's really a good picture, a good painting, good fish and good food."

After reading it, Zhang Hong held the album in his hand and was reluctant to return it to Qiao Chen. He asked, "Are these drawn by the young master himself?"

"I like to eat, but also like to draw, so I often draw the dishes I have cooked."

"Can you cook all the dishes here?"

"Nature can do it."

"Why don't you sell this picture book and the method of making these dishes to Zhang for a price?" Zhang Hong asked in a discussing tone.

"Boss Zhang is a businessman. In business, I have a big business that makes money. I wonder if Boss Zhang would like to talk to me?"

"Zhang is a businessman, so he is naturally interested in any business that can make money, but he can't do any business. Why don't you let me know first?" Zhang Hong looked friendly, but he was a fox old fox.

"As far as I know, Boss Zhang's business has been robbed by Qingxinglou and Ruifuji a lot in the past two years, right?" Qingxinglou and Ruifuji are both Cheng Jingrui's properties, and he has participated in basic necessities of life.

"It's true that they have stolen a lot. Ruifuji specially produces some novel and interesting things. Our time-honored brands seem too dull and boring. How do you think they can have so many novel ideas?" Boss Zhang said in two words. He earned so much money when he was young, so he was naturally very unwilling. He couldn't even sleep well at night when he was so worried. He naturally discussed countermeasures with other merchants, but they had King Yong'an as their backer, and the things were really good. No matter what they used No means can cure him.

"If I can make something ten times better than Qingxinglou and Ruifuji, would Boss Zhang be willing to cooperate with me?" This is the main purpose of Qiao Chen coming here today, the first thing he has to do , and uprooted Cheng Jingrui's source of financial resources.

"This..." Zhang Hong looked at Qiao Chen suspiciously.

Qiao Chen smiled, took out another picture album from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong took it and looked through it. There were all kinds of dim sum and snacks, cold dishes and stewed meat, and even those ice creams that only Ruifuji had.

"My lord, let's set a price. I'll buy any of the above items, but I have a request. You can only sell them to my family." Zhang Hong said boldly.

"I can still draw dozens of books like this, and I can say for sure that only I can make each of them. Even Cheng Jingrui, the owner of Ruifuji, can never make it, but I want to make it with Zhang. It's about cooperation."

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method?"

"I will provide you with the method of making it, and you will be responsible for making and selling it, and then share half of the net profit with me."

"Half?" Zhang Hong looked at Qiao Chen in surprise.

"If I do these things by myself, the profits will all belong to me, so half is not too much. It's just that it's not convenient for me to show up now. If Boss Zhang doesn't want to, I'll let someone else do it." Qiao Chen made a decision The action of bringing back the album.

"Wait." Zhang Hong took the album back, "You have to give me time to think about it."

"Then give Boss Zhang three days to think about it, and I will give these two albums to Boss Zhang. Even if we fail to negotiate a deal, I will not sell the items on it to others. If Boss Zhang can research it by himself, it will be fine." Boss Zhang's own."

"Thank you very much." As soon as Zhang Hong heard that he was going to give the picture album to himself, he immediately hid the picture album in his sleeve as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word, but then he remembered what Qiao Chen said just now that he could draw dozens of such picture albums , Zhang Hong couldn't help itching.

"Boss Zhang must keep everything I said and did when I came here today, and I must not let anyone else know, and your shopkeeper and Xiaoer must not reveal the slightest bit of information, otherwise, our business will be ruined." Can't talk about it."

"What is the identity of the son, so mysterious?" Zhang Hong asked curiously.

"Even if I don't tell you now, Boss Zhang can find out, so I'll tell you, my name is Cheng Jingyun." Qiao Chen said.

"Cheng Jingyun? What's your relationship with Cheng Jingrui?" Boss Zhang became even more confused.

"Cheng Jingrui is a concubine. I am the eldest son of the Cheng family. I have been in the south for the past few years. I have only returned to Luodu these few days."

"You are the eldest son, and you have such abilities, why don't you fight him openly?" Brothers fight against each other, disputes between the eldest son and the concubine are possible in any family, but it is still unreasonable for an eldest son to avoid a concubine like this. Really rare.

"Of course I have my reasons. Otherwise, Boss Zhang thinks why I, the eldest son, have lived in the south for such a long time? I am afraid that everyone in Luodu City only knows that the Cheng family has Cheng Jingrui, and few people still remember that there is Cheng Jingyun." Bar?"

Qiao Chen stood up and said, "If Boss Zhang thinks it over, come to Hanwu Temple to talk to me in three days. Remember, you can only come alone."
