Because Qin Zheng is busy with food on the road these days, Tole usually does the purchase of ingredients at home.
But on this day, Lu Fang was rolling up his sleeves and kneading dough.
Qin Zheng was passing by.
He frowned when he saw the color of the dough.
He immediately picked out a pinch of dough and tore it open to take a look.
Color, put it in my mouth to taste a little more.
When Lu Fang saw her expression, he knew something was wrong.
He looked at it himself, but couldn't see anything wrong.
Qin Zheng said, "This dough is mixed with old wheat flour and may be full of insects."
However, after the wheat is ground into flour, it is all white, so most people can't tell the difference.
Qin Zheng has followed his father since he was a child and has opened a restaurant for so many years.
He has bought countless rice noodles, but he will know it after he tastes it.
At this time, Torre also heard the news here, and came over to taste it himself, but he couldn't tell the difference, so he said: "The guests on the left and right can't taste it either, so we'll just make do with it."
Qin Zheng shook his head and said: "Although the guests can't taste it, I can taste it.
How can it be inferior to the good one?
Besides, the steamed buns may not taste good.
What if there are one or two more?"
If there is a problem with the food, if it gets spread and someone takes advantage of it, the consequences will be huge. " Because he asked again: "Where did you buy the noodles this time?"
Torre frowned and said, "It's the store where we often bought noodles in the past, Song Ji Grain Store.
We bought their grain and then used animals to pull it to the mill to grind the ready-made flour."
After hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded and said, "In that case, I'll go over with you tomorrow and have a look.
This batch is now gone."
Little Bao Gu also came over at this time, and was shocked when she heard this: "How come there are so many noodles, and why do they fall over?"
Qin Zheng asked back: "Otherwise, if you give it to people to eat, this is the noodles sent out by a restaurant.
If there is really a problem, just give it to dogs.
If there is a problem with the food, our sign will be damaged."
In fact, when she was fleeing famine, she had never eaten anything, but now that she came to Shilipu, it was like doing business in the peaceful and prosperous times.
Qin Zheng's words left Tuo Lei and Little Bao Gu speechless.
On that day, the steamed buns store at Manji Restaurant opened the skylight, so they had to order ten pots of steamed buns from Manji Restaurant diagonally across the door, which annoyed the man from Manji Restaurant.
The landlady smiled.
The next day, the one-person restaurant was closed for business, and Qin Zheng took Lu Fang to Songji Grain Store in person.
Qin Zheng was not in a hurry, just strolling on the street.
The street is so lively, with all kinds of restaurants, rice shops, noodle shops and butcher shops on display, as well as gold and silver shops, wealth and silk shops, etc., with all kinds of silks and jewelry.
As Qin Zheng and Lu Fang walked along, they saw shouts with strong dialects everywhere, competing for glory.
Qin Zheng walked with his hands behind his back, looking around.
When he came to a restaurant, he stopped.
I saw that this restaurant has all kinds of food, including Hu cakes, white meat, various soups such as stone marrow soup, and various pastas such as copper-skin noodles and knife noodles.
She looked at it for a moment and then called the shopkeeper for a piece of Hu Biscuit.
The shopkeeper knew her, so he couldn't help but smile when he saw her: "Hey, what kind of wind has brought the shopkeeper of the Qin family?"
Hearing that Qin Zheng wanted a piece of Hu cake, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smile: "Shopkeeper Qin, come to my place.
If you want biscuits, then I am just showing off in front of Guan Gong.
How can I catch your eye with this crude thing?"
Qin Zheng smiled lightly: "Shopkeeper Sun, I really don't have golden shortcakes in my store.
I saw them today and I'm really greedy and want to try them."
When shopkeeper Sun heard this, he immediately wrapped five pieces of golden shortbread with a piece of oil paper and said, "If shopkeeper Qin wants to eat it, just take it."

Qin Zheng wanted to give him money, but shopkeeper Sun refused.
In the end, Qin Zheng had no choice but to give him money.
There are neighbors on the left and right.
How could there not be people who like me and you and you like me?
You give me a date and I give you a melon.
There is a sense of favor in this coming and going.
He took the golden shortbread, put one on the road, chewed one slowly, and continued to move forward.
While walking along, I greeted people I met.
After a while, I came to a grocery store.
I saw that there were all kinds of jewelry for women, such as earrings, bracelets, phoenix hairpins, etc., as well as fragrant powder, face oil, black ink, ointment, etc. .
Qin Zheng stayed here and looked down.
Lu Fang couldn't help but said: "Brother Zheng, could it be that you have fallen in love with some girl and want to buy it for your sweetheart?"
Qin Zheng smiled and said deliberately: "Isn't it Brother Lu who needs to buy it for the woman?"
Lu Fang frowned immediately when he heard this.
Qin Zheng knew that Lu Fang couldn't take a joke, so he immediately explained: "Although Brother Lu is very handsome, since I have no intention of doing so, I won't force it.
Yesterday, I met Su Dazui'er, a famous matchmaker in our town, and said I want to bring up the little girl of the Hu family who is facing the street for you, but I have already rejected it for you. " Lu Fang didn't say anything.
He didn't remember.
He had never heard of Su Dazui'er or the little girl of the Hu family.
Qin Zheng naturally understood in his heart and said: "I think Liu'er is sincere to you now.
You'd better make it clear earlier, so as not to make this girl sad.
Speaking of which, this girl Liu'er is also a poor child."
Lu Fang said: "Yes, I have always been cold before, hoping that she would retreat in spite of the difficulties.
Now that you have said that, I will find an opportunity and make it clear."
Qin Zheng added: "As for Cui'er, I didn't say anything explicitly at the beginning, I just mentioned it in passing.
If you say it now, it will hurt the girl's face.
When I have the opportunity, I will go to Uncle Wang and say it.
Just one session.”
Lu Fang nodded: "Okay, it's all up to you."
After Qin Zheng and Lu Fang said this, they happened to see the fragrant powder on the stage, so they picked it up and observed it carefully in their hands.
Lu Xing suddenly felt something strange.
Qin Zheng understood in his heart and immediately said with a smile: "Brother Lu, I'm just wondering how this little thing can be loved by every woman in the world."
When Lu Fang heard this, he couldn't help but said: "You and I are both men, so naturally we don't understand women's thoughts."
Qin Zheng laughed when he heard this, nodded and said, "That's absolutely true."
The two people continued to move forward, and soon they arrived at the rice market.
Shilipu was originally the main road to Phoenix City, so the transportation was extremely convenient, so there were merchants traveling from north to south, and all kinds of rice and grains gathered, including japonica rice, corn, wheat, barley, red beans, soybeans, mung beans, etc.
Smart Miya people, rice shop owners who come to discuss business, and long-distance traffickers.
Qin Zheng came to an oxcart.
The oxcart was full of corn.
An old cow was wagging its tail leisurely beside it.
There was a puddle of cow dung under its feet.
There were several people beside the bullock cart, surrounding an opened rice bag, pinching out a few grains to taste.
Qin Zheng also stepped forward, grabbed a small handful, put a few pills in his mouth, and then gave way to taste a few pills.
She chewed a few times and asked Lu Fang: "What do you think?"
Lu Fang said: "I only know it is corn."
Qin Zheng observed the grains of rice carefully and said with a smile: "It's corn.

It is divided into high-grade corn, medium-grade corn, low-grade corn, and adulterated rice.
The difference is huge, and the price is naturally very different."
As she was speaking, she suddenly paused and her eyes fell on the measuring bucket next to the carriage.
Qin Zheng walked over without leaving a trace, looking down at something.
Then he never mentioned the matter of buying rice again, and asked Lu Fang to go to the next house.
Lu Fang was puzzled and asked, but Qin Zheng said: "Look at the carriage, there are several measuring buckets, old and new.
If you look carefully, you can find that there are notches on the back of the measuring buckets."
Lu Fang was quite proficient in fighting, but he had never heard of such market tricks.
He immediately asked: "So what?"
Qin Zheng said: "If there are notches, they are the marks made by the rice merchants themselves.
This measuring bucket is learned.
There are big buckets, small buckets and normal buckets.
If you want to buy rice, use the big bucket.
If you want to buy rice, use the big bucket."
Xiaodou, if the officials come to inspect, use a normal bucket."
When Lu Fang heard this, he frowned and said, "What a profiteer."
Qin Zheng immediately led Lu Fang forward and arrived at Song Ji Grain Store.
Song Ji Liang Store has been a time-honored store in Shilipu for more than ten years.
It has many regular customers over the years and its business is booming.
At this time, Qin Zheng came to the door, and naturally a waiter came to greet him, but Qin Zheng said bluntly: "Qin Zheng is here to see Boss Song at the next restaurant."
The clerk had heard of Qin Zheng's name and knew that her business was good and her clerk was also very good.
He couldn't help but take another look at the road, then went into the backyard to call his boss.
Boss Song was wearing a dark satin shirt, a green scarf on his head, and a mustache.
When he saw Qin Zheng coming, he hurriedly came forward to say hello.
Qin Zheng smiled and said: "Boss Song, please take a step to speak."
Boss Song was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "If you have anything to say, you can't say it here."
Qin Zheng still smiled, but there was a bit of coldness in that smile: "This flour is divided into inside and outside, so naturally speaking, you can talk inside and outside.
Does Boss Song want me, Qin Zheng, to talk here?"
When Boss Song heard this, he narrowed his eyes and realized that Qin Zheng had seen through it, so he quickly let Qin Zheng in.
Immediately, he invited Qin Zheng into the flower hall in the backyard and hurriedly called for tea.
Qin Zheng smiled and said: "Boss Song, you should know that I, Qin Zheng, am not here today to drink tea."
Boss Song said with a sullen face: "Boss Qin, I don't say secret words.
Seeing that you, Boss Qin, are young but have very powerful eyes, I won't hide it from you.
Although I know about this, I really didn't do it." .
When I open my business, I do it with my conscience.
I will never do that kind of thing.”
Qin Zheng sneered: "So what if it's not you who did it.
It's the noodles that left this shop.
If Boss Song doesn't make it clear, it will be of no benefit to you or me if this matter spreads."
Boss Song thought for a moment and then said: "I can't say much else, but Boss Qin's business is booming.
If you eat meat, you must also give soup to others."
Hearing this, Qin Zheng's eyes flashed, and he understood the situation as he recalled it.
He sneered and said, "Thank you, Boss Song."
With that, he stood up and left.
When they walked out of Song Ji's grain store, Lu Fang saw her expression and said, "You will definitely not want to buy grain here anymore."

Qin Zheng nodded: "That's natural."
This grain store business is a one-to-one business, and everything must be done based on conscience.
If he could do this kind of thing once, he could do it a second time.
Lu Fang said: "In this case, we have to find another grain store."
Qin Zheng frowned: "I'm thinking about this too, but I have to choose."
While the two were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of an argument.
When they turned around to look, they saw an old farmer in coarse cloth, driving an ox cart, arguing with someone from Song Ji's grain store.
The old man said: "What I weighed was clearly three stones, but you weighed two and a half stones.
There is obviously something wrong.
I weighed it just after I came out of home.
How could there be a mistake?"
But the clerk of Songji Grain Store said forcefully: "Our Songji Grain Store is open to do business, and we are open and honest.
Since it is said to be two and a half stones, it is two and a half stones.
How could we deceive people?"
You.
I’m afraid you might have spilled it on the road, and besides, your Dou Zi may not be accurate.”
The old man was helpless and said angrily: "I have sent them here in the past, and we don't deal with them for a day or two anymore.
If it were my own, I wouldn't say anything, but I am just sending it to someone in Zhuangzi, and I am short of others.
How can I go back and deliver the money?"
But the guy was a jerk and said, "It's none of my business what you do.
Since it's only two and a half stones, I'll give you two and a half stones.
You can't ask me, a clerk, to provide you with supplies."
The old man was so angry that his beard stood up.
When he was about to go to another house to check, he heard the waiter say: "After you walk this street, go ask and see who can weigh three shi of grain for you."
Qin Zheng already understood what he said, so he stopped the old man and asked him clearly.
But it turns out that this old man is from Xiaojiazhuang.
He was entrusted by the villagers to sell grain this time.
There will be many more to sell in the future.
Who knew it would be so unsmooth, and he was missing half a stone.
I really didn’t know that I didn’t use a bucket before.
When I measured it beforehand, how much was deceived by them?
After hearing this, Qin Zheng already had an idea in his mind.
He immediately called Mr.
Xiao and went to a teahouse to drink tea.
After asking about the Xiao family's annual output and current grain harvest, he said, "If you If you are willing to provide me with food from now on, I will pay 10% more than the price they gave me.
Douzi will never cheat, but the food must not contain any impurities, let alone adulteration, how about?"
The old man Xiao looked at Qin Zheng suspiciously at first.
After all, such a half-grown boy was playing tricks on him.
When he wanted to ask, the teahouse waiter on the side knew Qin Zheng, so he shook the cloth on his shoulder and said with a smile. : "You old man Xiao, you have good luck.
Who do you think this is?
This is Boss Qin of our Shilipu One-person Restaurant.
The business of that one-person restaurant is booming, so naturally he will not deceive you."
Old man Xiao had actually heard of the one-man restaurant.
He was overjoyed when he heard this, hurriedly clasped his fists in greeting, and agreed again and again.
For a while, the two of them calculated it in detail, such as when it would be shipped, what rice, flour and other grains were needed, as well as the price, etc.

At that moment, both parties were very happy.
One was relieved of the worry of supplying food, and the other was relieved of the difficulty of selling food.
After seeing off Old Man Xiao, Qin Zheng returned to the One-person Restaurant, where he laid down a banquet and called the owner and his wife of the Manji Restaurant diagonally across the street.
The couple at Manji Restaurant were very suspicious at first and almost didn't dare to come.
Seeing Qin Zheng's sincere face, they came over and sat down with their buttocks only halfway leaning on the tea table.
Qin Zheng poured a glass of wine and said with a smile: "I heard that Boss Man's youngest son works as a waiter at Songji Grain Store."
When the whole family heard this, their faces suddenly became pale, and they reluctantly said, "That's what happened."
They began to feel uneasy, not knowing what Qin Zheng was going to say.
I originally thought that what I was doing was unnoticed, but who knew that this hairless boy would see through it.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng did not mention the matter again, but said to Manji and his wife: "You two are neighbors.
We have been very busy since we have been open for so long, but I didn't invite you to come and talk.
I'm really sorry." ” The two Man clans heard this and hurriedly said: "Where is it?"
Qin Zheng waved his hand and said: "You two, Qin Zheng is free today, so he specially cooked a table of dishes, and I would like to invite you two to enjoy it and have a taste."
The two Man family members lowered their heads and saw that this dish was delicious.
Youwei Spicy Chicken, Braised Crab Meat Lion's Head, Honeycomb Tofu, Crystal Pork Hoof, etc. were all dishes that the restaurant had a good reputation for.
They had only heard of them, but had never tasted them. .
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva at that moment.
But the two of them didn't dare to move their chopsticks.
Seeing this, Qin Zheng personally prepared dishes for them and said, "I ask you two to appreciate it and try this dish.
From now on, we will be good neighbors and do business together."
After hearing this, the two Man clans finally showed their dissatisfaction and said: "Where are we, why are we competing for business with Boss Qin?"
After hearing this, Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Since I started selling street vegetables here, I'm afraid it has affected your restaurant's business.
I, Qin Zheng, would like to apologize here."
The two Man clans were dissatisfied, but they said: "Our skills are inferior to others, so we can't compete for anything."
Qin Zheng said: "I invited you two here today to discuss something."
The two Man clans looked at each other with confusion in their eyes: "What's the matter?"
Qin Zheng smiled and said: "Nowadays, the supply of street food is in short supply, and you two know that.
It's just that I really don't have enough manpower here, and I'm worried about it.
So if you two don't mind, if you can help me cook some street food, I will give it to you two Bit divided.”
After hearing this, the two people couldn't believe it and said, "But we don't know how to do it."
Qin Zheng said: "The key to street food is frying.
The frying part is naturally done by one of us at the restaurant.
The two of us are only responsible for supplying the dried vegetables that we have dried.
We will naturally give them a fair price." " The two people looked at each other, and finally said: "This, I need to go back and discuss it before making a plan."
Qin Zheng didn't expect them to agree immediately, so he immediately said: "That's right, I'm just waiting for the news."
The next day, Manji and his wife came together, but they looked much kinder on their faces, and they said: "We have thought about it, and this is a good idea.
It's just that we have never done it before, so we will have to invite you again in the future.
Boss Qin, please give me some advice.”
After hearing this, Qin Zheng naturally agreed, and then he knew that Lu Fang would teach Manji and his wife the process of drying street vegetables one by one, but he did not teach them the frying process.
Regarding this, Little Bao Gu is still dissatisfied: "Since they have the intention to harm us, why should we let them get a share of the pie?"
Qin Zheng said: "Since we are neighbors, it is not easy to offend us.
We open our doors to do business, and they do business right next to us.
We may not be tricked again one day.
It is better to drag them in together and let us do business from now on."
It’s also worry-free.

Besides, I think this couple is not 100% bad.
Letting them help us make street food saves us a lot of effort, but naturally we won’t give up on the most critical frying.
They have to go."
To put it bluntly, Qin Zheng was looking for someone to do the hard work, and this couple was just right.
Since Qin Zheng said this, Little Baogu couldn't say anything more. tgtgd1806102:
