Fertile land

Chapter 134

"Fresh food?"

"No, what's wrong?" Zhao Xiaomei said quickly.

"That's weird."

"Did something happen?"

"It's nothing, it's just that our rival Jiayu Manlou's business has been surprisingly good recently." Li Zhengsen understood this and immediately pricked up his ears to listen.

"Didn't that Yumanlou dad know that he was going to close down?"

"It was about to be annexed by our Hongyun Tower, but suddenly it came back to life because there were several delicious dishes that had never appeared before."

"The taste is really great. There are many signature dishes such as: noodles with mushroom oil, braised eel, griddle bullfrog, and acorn jelly!"

"I heard from people who went to Yumanlou to inquire that these ingredients are all game from the countryside!"

"As for eels and frogs, isn't our Zhaoli Village very suitable for growing? The same goes for gallinobacteria. Our chef found it strange and asked me to come back to find out more!"

In fact, he also sent other agents back to his village to investigate.

Mainly because Li Wei wanted to make himself sound more awesome, so he deliberately said that he was specifically asked to come back to investigate!
Zhao Xiaomei feels that Weiwa is promising and is favored by the chef!

"Luo Zhi'er?"

Li Zhengsen murmured
"what?"

Li Wei looked at Li Zhengsen nervously.

"Your mother heard from Zhao's second daughter-in-law that Luo Zhi'er said a few days ago that she caught eels to eat?"

"Weizi, did you hear it correctly? Is that food really edible?"

Why are you on the dining table at Yumanlou?
"Dad, not only can it be eaten, but one plate of braised eel is worth more than three taels of silver! What a waste of money!"

"what?"

"Then let's catch them and sell them in the town, how about that?"

Zhao Xiaomei’s eyes lit up!
"Mom, I have a recipe for it, but it won't be the same if you make it."

"Is that so?"

Then isn’t this vegetable recipe seller making a fortune?
"This is what happened to Luo Zhi'er."

"But how is that possible? She is just a blind cat caught up with a dead mouse. Weiwa, you know, your uncle's family was imprisoned because of the second child, and she was released first."

"No, when I get home, I haven't had anything to eat in the past few days, so I just catch some crabs in the river and some eels in the fields to eat!"

"Is that right?"

Li Wei thought lightly
"What else?" Zhao Xiaomei didn't believe Luo Zhi'er had that ability at all.

Besides, who in Zhao Licun doesn’t know that Zhou Meizhen is mean to her daughter-in-law? If she had so much money, she would have run away long ago!
"What your mother said makes sense. This braised eel is probably a new product developed by some chef. If she had that ability, how could the eldest brother's family be poor for so many years?"

"That's true!"

However, this incident also made Li Lei suspicious, thinking that she had just bought a mule cart. What a coincidence?

Luo Zhi'er had dinner in the afternoon and took Miaomiao to the ditch in the field to catch bullfrogs!
This bullfrog has no choice but to catch it during the day and cannot see it at night.

She went out in the afternoon and as soon as she entered Yantang Bay and caught a few, she felt something was wrong. She always felt like someone was watching behind her.
Her back felt hairy, and when she looked back, sure enough, there was a strange yet familiar face not far behind. When he saw her looking back at him, he gradually came closer.
When the man approached, Luo Zhi'er frowned, and a voice sounded in her mind. This man's name was Li Wei.

The only son of the second wife Li Zhengsen.

"Fourth uncle? Hey, fourth uncle, when did you come back?"

Miaomiao shouted first.

Li Wei's dark and unreadable face changed, and he smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Miaomiao, where are you going?"

Luo Zhi'er felt that this smile was dazzling, and for some reason, she had a particularly bad feeling about the person in front of her.

A little uneasy
The instinctive reaction is to keep distance from this person!
Miao Miao glanced at Luo Zhi'er and said, "Catch crabs!"

Only then did Li Wei turn his eyes to Luo Zhi'er. This feeling came again, and this kind of looking at her made her feel uncomfortable all over.

"Haha, third sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Luo Zhi'er calmed down and said, "Fourth brother, didn't Miaomiao tell you just now? We are catching crabs!"

"Oh? Catching crabs? Why is there a frog in this bucket?" Li Wei pretended to point to the bucket and asked in confusion. "Of course I caught it!"

"What are you doing catching these frogs?"

His eyes were fixed on her face, as if he was checking whether she was lying.

"Of course I ate it. Why would I catch it if I didn't eat it?"

Luo Zhi'er said lightly.

"Uncle Fourth, the frogs and crabs made by my mother are very delicious. Do you want to try them?"

Miaomiao said sensibly.

"Oh?"

Li Wei continued to look at Luo Zhi'er's face.

Luo Zhi'er said with a fierce voice: "Yes, our family is in need of rice and food, let alone meat, so I will take Miao Miao to catch some meat to replenish the body!"

"Oh? Third sister-in-law, how do you know that frogs and eels are edible?"

There was a moment of silence in the air.
Luo Zhi'er's expression remained unchanged, "What do you mean?"

"That's right, isn't this food just launched by Yumanlou? How do you know this is edible?"

"Could it be that"

It depends on what you say.
"Because I went to town. Of course I heard that several of the dishes at Yumanlou are particularly delicious recently. I saw a long queue yesterday!"

"And when Miaomiao and I were released that day, we passed by and smelled something particularly delicious. The smell made me drool."

"Later I found out what the ingredients were for? But it cost a lot of money to eat a plate, so I caught them and killed them to cook for Miao Miao!"

That's it!

It doesn't look like she is faking it. When she talks about eating, her eyes light up and she feels contempt inside, as she has never seen the world.
Ha, it turns out that I have a high opinion of this Luo Zhi'er!

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, no wonder, you continue to catch."

"By the way, Third Sister-in-law, I heard that you bought a mule cart? I wonder why you bought a mule cart?"

Li Wei asked again as if he remembered something.

"I don't need to tell you this, but there is nothing to hide. I plan to make a living. Miaomiao and I have to live without Sanmao and the others at home. Otherwise, fourth brother, can you help me in the town?" What kind of job should I do?"

"Aren't you doing well? Just let me work in your restaurant! I can also be a waiter!"

"Ah, no, no, you should think about what you want to do. This restaurant, well, the restaurant's business has not been very good recently, and it is not hiring!"

Li Wei hurriedly retreated. This was the steward's job, and he was just a waiter.

How could he have that ability? Sometimes he would deliberately brag to his mother and the others when he comes back.

He said that the manager had a very good relationship with him and listened to his words. Besides, he didn't want to cause trouble for himself.

"Fourth brother, you didn't follow us just to find out about this, did you?"

Luo Zhi'er suddenly questioned.

"Haha, how is that possible? I was just passing by. Isn't there our family's field in Yantang Bay? I came to take a look. I haven't been back for a long time. I don't know what Xia Dou has grown into!"

"Oh, look, let's go first!"

Luo Zhi'er had no interest in catching anymore, so he turned around and went back with Miao Miao.

"You're not going to catch me anymore?"

"This is enough, we two can't eat much!"

"Too!"

Seeing his mother and daughter walking away until they were no longer visible, Li Wei walked back home.

Along the way, he always felt that something was wrong just now, but he couldn't explain it.
Luo Zhi'er was secretly angry. They couldn't care about the old Li bosses when they were in jail. She was trying to find a way to find out!

Hey, who are they?
