Chapter 138 Zhuangxing Mutton Soup

On Thursday afternoon, Zhu Yuhong took the initiative to call Wang Yiyuan, saying that he had found a good place to eat mutton, and invited him to a farmhouse in Fengxian for dinner tomorrow.Wang Yiyuan has a lot of things to do in the past two days, and the day after tomorrow is the official meeting of the market, but he thought about it, and finally agreed.

Wang Yiyuan went to Wang Liping and said, the recording pen you used last time, I will lend it to me this time. Zhu Yuhong, who is elegant and daily, wants to invite me to dinner, so I have to be on guard against him.Wang Liping took out the recording pen and demonstrated how to use it in detail.

The farmhouse chosen by Zhu Yuhong is located in the innermost part of a pear orchard in Zhuanghang.It's just that it's winter now, and the pear trees are all bare, and the gray branches sway slightly in the cold wind, making the weather even colder.There are a few domestic chickens running around in the pear orchard.Near the small courtyard of the farmhouse, there are a few small vegetable fields, showing a little greenery.

Pushing open the courtyard door and entering, Zhu Yuhong and Li Yan were waiting for him in the courtyard.Seeing Wang Yiyuan, Zhu Yuhong hurried forward, held Wang Yiyuan's hand enthusiastically, and said, "Old Wang, you seem to have lost a lot of weight."Why, I haven't seen you for more than half a month, so busy?

Wang Yiyuan laughed and said, Manager Zhu, I miss you so much these days, I hope you can summon me sooner every day, can you not lose weight?
Wang Yiyuan smiled at Li Yan as a greeting.Zhu Yuhong said, it's too cold outside, let's go inside to talk.The mutton is being stewed in a big pot inside, and I specially invite you to eat it.

Entering the room, there is a big Eight Immortals table in the middle. In the middle of the table, there is a common rural stove embedded in it. Lamb is being stewed on a small fire in the big stove, and the slightest fragrance is constantly wafting out.Wang Yiyuan sniffed it vigorously, and said, the delicious mutton has been eaten by the two of you today.

Li Yan brought Wang Yiyuan a teacup, put black tea on it, brought it to Wang Yiyuan herself, and said, Manager Wang, drink a cup of hot tea first to warm your body.

Wang Yiyuan took the teacup and said, you two, you are so kind.

Li Yan took out three sets of brand new bowls and chopsticks from the cabinet next to her, as well as small drinking cups, and set them up one by one.

Zhu Yuhong said, we are semi-self-help today, and the only thing we eat is this pot.Xiao Wang, shall we drink some old wine?

Wang Yiyuan waved his hand and said with a smile, I can't drink.At most, I can only drink a little with you.

Zhu Yuhong said, I went to Shaoxing this time and brought back a box of 15-year-old "Nvnuhong" flower carvings.I took four bottles today, if you can’t finish it, you pack it up and take it home.

Li Yan took off the lid of the pot, and a strong aroma of hot mutton rose up.When the mist dissipated, she stirred it a few times with a large spoon, put in some chopped shallots, and swung the spoon over the soup a few times, saying, "It's almost done, I'll scoop the soup for you first."

Zhu Yuhong filled the glass with wine, touched Wang Yiyuan, took a sip of "Zi Liu", and said slowly, "Xiao Wang, if you have business matters related to printing in the future, you can look for both Li Yan and me. the same.

When the milky white sheep soup was served, both Zhu Yuhong and Li Yan took spoons and drank carefully spoon by spoon.But Wang Yiyuan was different, he picked up the big wrist, first blew along the side of the bowl, then put the bowl directly to his mouth, and drank it in big gulps.

After a bowl of hot mutton soup, Wang Yiyuan felt that it was not enough, so he ate three more bowls in a row.He rubbed his stomach contentedly, and said comfortably, good soup, good soup.Not smelly or fishy, ​​the taste is really delicious, and it feels comparable to Qibao's mutton soup.

Zhu Yuhong joked about Wang Yiyuan, hehe, Xiao Wang, is it good soup or hot?You're Mandarin, so it's hard to tell.Besides, looking at your way of eating, it seems that our pot of mutton is far from enough, do you want to add some more?
Wang Yiyuan said, ha ha.Manager Zhu, I treat you as my own, so I don't care if you look ugly.

Well, they are all their own people.There are just the three of us here, and there are indeed no outsiders.Zhu Yuhong picked up the wine glass, touched it heavily with Wang Yiyuan, and said, Xiao Wang, you don't have to look outside, just open it to eat.

Wang Yiyuan chuckled, did not speak, looked at the cauldron, got off his seat, took out some of the firewood in the firebox, and switched to a small fire to keep it warm.Then he stood up, took a large pot from the cupboard, scooped out the mutton and soup in the pot, and said, the mutton is almost stewed, and it's time to eat it.

"There is no need to prescribe a prescription for a bowl of Fuyang soup." Zhuanghang sheep head soup has a long history. The custom of mutton making wine here is also listed as an intangible cultural heritage protection item in Shanghai.Xiao Wang, if you come here in summer and drink mutton soup and soju, it will be even more lively.Zhu Yuhong said.

The mutton is half full, and the wine is drunk to the full.Wang Yiyuan decided to speak first, to break the embarrassment of just yelling, eating and drinking.He said, Manager Zhu, the last time I spoke with you, my tone was a little higher. If there is any conflict, please forgive me.

Hehe, Xiao Wang, which call was it?Why can't I seem to remember?Zhu Yuhong deliberately pretended to be confused, and said, you and I are brothers, those things that have passed, Chen Zhima rotten millet, why is it necessary to remember so clearly?Come come come.We drank it in one gulp.

After drinking a cup, Wang Yiyuan paused for a while, but continued, "It's just this list, Manager Zhu, let me tell you the truth, we really can't afford the above price.

Manager Zhu picked up a piece of mutton and said casually, you really can't do it?

Wang Yiyuan nodded, and then he wrung his fingers and had to repeat the cost structure and quotation of each item of the carton.In the end, he said, "Look, Manager Zhu, the cost is already here, and the prices on the list have no room for maneuvering at all."

Zhu Yuhong let out an "oh", stopped talking, and just took a sip of his old wine.

The scene is dull.After a while, Li Yan couldn't help it first, laughed out loud with a "pop", and said loudly, "Hey, you two, don't be so sullen if you have something to say.

She said, Manager Wang, that's right.About the list, Wang Liping from your factory later approached me alone, and I also called Lao Zhu on the same day to ask.As soon as Lao Zhu came back from a business trip, he hurried to check.

Wang Yiyuan put down his wine glass and looked at Li Yan without moving his eyes.

Li Yan looked a little embarrassed, and said, I finally found out the reason. The main thing is to blame Lao Zhu. On the day I went to your factory, because I was in a hurry to rush to the city for a meeting, I took the wrong list. .

After all, Li Yan took out a stack of bound A4 paper from her small bag, handed it to Wang Yiyuan, and said, the latest carton styles and prices are here, Manager Wang, please take a look ?

Wang Yiyuan took it with both hands and put it in his backpack without looking at it.

Li Yan asked strangely, Manager Wang, why don't you take a look first?

Wang Yiyuan said with a smile, what am I looking at?For Brother Zhu, I trust 120%.Come, come, Lao Zhu, and Li Yan, the three of us, let's have a drink together.The three drank it all in one gulp.

What a good brother.Xiao Wang, I'm really a little impatient this time, I'm sorry.Zhu Yuhong took the wine bottle, filled Wang Yiyuan's wine, raised the glass, and said, come on, let's have another drink together for our long-term friendship.
