Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1370, Section 1357: The First Sichuan-Guizhou War

"I've finally seen it for myself. Traveling to Tianhan is really tiring. My cheeks are tired, my mouth is tired, and my stomach is tired too."

Zhang Yufei clutched her stomach, panting heavily, while still muttering to herself.

I'm too tired to eat anymore, but I still have to talk.

Seeing their condition, the stall owner immediately offered them a box of digestive tablets.

Those who set up stalls in Tianhan were all well-prepared.

Lu Jingcheng held the medicine box and chuckled to himself, "Look at their service, they even prepared digestive pills for me."

Zhang Yufei pouted, "You think this is a good thing? They're so greedy. How much do digestive pills cost? And how much more do you pay for another meal after you've digested it all?"

Lu Jingcheng laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Then shall we still have lunch?"

Zhang Yufei shook her head like a rattle drum, "I won't eat, I can't eat anything."

Lu Jingcheng pretended to put the digestive pills in his pocket.

Zhang Yufei quickly came over to grab it.

"You're not going to refuse to eat unless you say so?"

"I'm not eating, but I have to take my medicine. I feel uncomfortable from being so full."

He made his granddaughter laugh heartily.

Zhang Yufei snatched the medicine, divided it into two pieces for each of them, chewed them, and rested for a while before feeling a bit better.

It was almost noon by then.

The "Wolf Tooth Potato Market" is attracting more and more people, many of whom are nearby residents who don't want to cook lunch and come to join in the fun.

People were packed together, shoulder to shoulder.

There are even queues outside tea stalls waiting for seats.

Lu Jingcheng felt it was inappropriate for his family to occupy a table without ordering anything else.

Although the stall owner didn't say anything.

But I couldn't bear to lose face.

He asked his granddaughter, "Isn't it about time we left? Where are we going this afternoon?"

"Let's go to the park!" Zhang Yufei was well-prepared and had the itinerary all arranged.

“Then let’s go.” Lu Jingcheng readily agreed.

Before I came, my wife repeatedly told me to be a good old man who wouldn't make things difficult for our children.

Do whatever you're told, go wherever you're told, eat whatever you're told, no complaints, no tantrums, no temper tantrums.

The old man is very obedient.

As for Zhang Bowen, he's just a porter; his opinion is unimportant.

The three of them went out and hailed a taxi.

We headed straight to East Lake Forest Park.

That's right, Zhang Yufei wants to try something new, she wants to play "Piggy Treasure Hunt Adventure" and be a brave pig-eater.

I just finished tiring my mouth, and now my legs are going to get tired.

Zhang Yufei was quite excited when she entered, and hummed as she received her number: "Bouncing and skipping in the sunshine! Bouncing and skipping without worries! Bouncing and skipping without sleeping in!"

Jumping and hopping, they progress through each game level.

Having done some research beforehand, I passed the levels quite smoothly and successfully won several prizes.

Well, she said she wouldn't eat anymore, but she still ate quite a bit of the pork jerky and sausages she won in the games.

Winning a small bag of snacks while playing a game tempted me, so I bought two large bags from the convenience store next door.

It's all a routine.

But by the fifth game, she was completely exhausted; she was just too damn tired.

Old man Lu Jingcheng was quite happy.

Watching my granddaughter having fun.

I enjoyed strolling through this park; it combines natural wildness with pastoral charm, and its layout is free and in harmony with nature.

It hasn't been developed much; it's still exactly as it was before.

The forests are dense and the vegetation is diverse. The bamboo groves, flowering trees and lakes complement each other beautifully, and there are so many water birds.

The old man sighed, saying that if those old neighbors who love to travel the world taking pictures of birds came here, they would be overjoyed.

The scenery is beautiful, and the air is fresh.

There's just one thing: it's way too damn big.

Lu Jingcheng is getting old, and Zhang Bowen doesn't like exercising, so the two of them couldn't walk any further when they reached the lakeside and had to find a place to rest.

Zhang Yufei still stubbornly insisted that she wasn't tired.

Striving, struggling, and working tirelessly, they finally completed one of the routes.

I won the grand prize—a snack voucher.

When I came back to find my grandfather, my legs felt like they weren't my own.

He cursed as he walked, "Those guys from Tianhan are really incompetent. Why do they have to do so much stuff when they have nothing better to do? Are they trying to make people work themselves to death?"

Sigh, I only managed to complete one of the six routes; the rest I'll have to leave for later.

After a tiring afternoon, I'm hungry again.

Although I ate a lot of snacks, the stomach for snacks is not the same as the stomach for main meals.

For dinner, we headed straight to Jiweilou.

The infamous "Qiongweilou" restaurant is a must-try.

As a result, the queue number reached over a thousand...

Reluctantly, we switched to Pretty BBQ.

There were fewer people here, so I got number 751.

"Wow, there are so many people! Has everyone in the country come to Tianhan? Aren't they all going to work?!"

Hehe, it's the end of summer vacation, and Zhang Yufei hasn't started school yet either.

Left with no other choice, I just found a random place and ate hot pot.

But by evening, the fresh, warm, and incredibly delicious pork offal congee on Beida Street soothed all the day's grievances and fatigue...

In the morning, I went to the market; in the afternoon, I strolled through the park; and in the evening, I wandered the streets.

What a busy day!

It was already past midnight when I got back to the hotel.

Zhang Yufei struggled to step on the scale to check her weight.

His face turned green after seeing the number.

I walked 30,000 steps in one day and gained 2.5 pounds.

Congratulations, Coca-Cola.

"Tianhan only has 60,000 more fat people. Is it because people here don't have a good appetite?"

Zhang Yufei muttered to herself as she went to bed.

It felt like I had just closed my eyes and then opened them again, and it was already dawn.

Someone has already come looking for us.

Who is it? It's Qi Ruomu's father, Lao Qi.

I saw Lu Jingcheng's post on WeChat Moments.

Knowing that my old neighbor has come to Tianhan, I have to go and see him.

After meeting, he launched into a long tirade of complaints.

Why didn't you tell me you were coming? We've been neighbors for decades, you should at least show some hospitality.

Listen to this, Old Qi is even calling himself a landlord here.

And most importantly, they've arranged everything for me, from where I want to go to play.

Not on the waiting list for Jiweilou? No problem.

Want to try the Fu Tang Banquet in Qingmuchuan? It's a trivial matter.

Something new and unfamiliar? Let's go...

Then they introduced a big shot—the father of the cat-headed boss.

Zhang Yufei instantly transformed into a little fangirl, chattering incessantly around Luo's father, comparing him to her own father... Zhang Bowen is here, so I won't describe him.

Lu Jingcheng, who is seventy years old, has certainly had his eyes opened this time.

Look at what they're doing! A high-end RV towing a boat, a wooden one at that, like a pleasure boat.

Go to any remote, scenic place, with beautiful lakes and mountains, and take a boat out to fish.

There are drivers for driving, captains for steering boats, and bodyguards and personal assistants with you, so you don't have to worry about anything the whole time.

Be down-to-earth, don't just play around.

The fish caught fresh from the lake are cooked and eaten on the boat, emphasizing freshness.

The fish was personally prepared by the owner's father, which is quite prestigious.

When you're tired, there's a big bed in the RV where you can take a nap.

Comfortable and enjoyable.

We went to Jiweilou for dinner in the evening, but there was no queue.

I entered through the back door and went straight to the kitchen.

In a small room, a portrait of "Nine Heavens Eastern Kitchen Master of Fate, Taiyi Yuanhuang, the God of Destiny and Blessing" hangs on the wall, and an incense table is placed below it.

It is the place where the chefs in the back kitchen burn incense every day to pray for the safety of the stoves and pots, for improvement in their culinary skills, and for the food to be fragrant.

A square table and a few chairs were set up in front of the portrait.

It looks simple.

But this is the best seat in Jiweilou, and ordinary people are not allowed to come in.

This table is full of people with the biggest connections. Chef Xu cooked for them all himself, and from the moment the food was cooked until it was served, there was only one door separating them.

The dinner that night was for Zhang Yufei and the others, and they were all in a daze, literally in a daze. They couldn't remember what they ate, only that their brains were spinning like they were being electrocuted, and their tongues felt like they had just grown back and had never been used before.

A single meal can be a memory that lasts for years.

The next day, I was even more confused.

They actually went to the legendary Ping'an Ditch. Zhang Yufei petted Ding Xiaoman and Xiao Xiaoman herself. Although she got punched twice, it was Ding Xiaoman, the Cat Overlord, who punched her. Most people wouldn't even get a chance to get hit.

Then we went to the legendary meadow flower sea and the legendary green corridor grove.

I saw the legendary bean-stealing squirrel.

I teased the long-eared clucking chicken with dried shrimp.

He even rode on the Sun King's horse.

We took another group photo at the entrance to the legendary cat-head-shaped gate, which was covered with signs.

They wouldn't let us in; there were armed guards on duty.

But this is so awesome, so incredibly awesome! Ping'an Gou, every corner of this place is legendary.

Zhang Yufei took hundreds of photos, filling up all the storage space on her phone.

Once school starts, she'll be the most beautiful girl in the whole grade... no, the whole school.

Oh, and she also ran into a young man practicing boxing in the woods. Zhang Yufei was quite the expert, and she even chatted with him for a bit, asking him for a few moves.

This young man even blushes; it's so funny.

Zhang Yufei didn't take it to heart at the moment, but if she waited a few days, she would be terrified.

The only pity was that I didn't get to see Uncle Qi or the legendary cat-headed boss.

We didn't even see the unlucky guy.

They're all still in Guizhou.

Since that's the case, why don't we go take a trip?
We've arrived at Tianhan, which isn't far from Shancheng, and Shancheng is a fun place too.

Since we're already in the mountain city, which is very close to Tongzi in Guizhou, why not take a trip there?

Come here.
-
Mr. Luo arranged a car and took the three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, to the mountain city.

Next came Luzhou and Guang'an, then Zunyi and Tongzi.

Along the way, none of the "Wolf Tooth Potato Markets" in these places were as lively as those in Tianhan, nor did they offer as many different flavors.

In Sichuan Province and the mountain city, everything is traditional Sichuan style.

In Guizhou, everything is traditional Guizhou flavor.

Both provinces claim to be the birthplace of wolf tooth potatoes, and the methods of preparation are roughly the same.

However, the seasoning is different.

Sichuan cuisine is spicy and numbing, while Guizhou cuisine is sour and spicy.

Originally, these two flavors coexisted peacefully, each enjoying their own little world.

However, with the launch of Qiuyan No. 16, the local specialty, wolf tooth potatoes, suddenly became a hit.

This has also led to a dispute between the two places over "origin" and "authenticity".

The worst thing is...

There are also troublemakers.

Two days after the "Wolf Tooth Potato Fair" opened.

It has also been fully launched at Qiaoxiaomao Fried Food Shop, and two flavors have been introduced: Sichuan spicy and numbing, and Guizhou sour and spicy.

Tianhan has created dozens of flavors that haven't been launched yet; they plan to select the best ones after the market.

This was actually not so bad.

But the most outrageous thing is...

Each of Qiaoxiaomao's stores also has a display screen hanging above its head.

The data displays the national sales volume, local sales volume, and local sales volume for both Sichuan and Guizhou flavors.

It's also updated in real time.

What is this going to do?
This is provoking war!!!
Can this be tolerated?

This is unbearable!

Damn it, people from Sichuan and Guizhou provinces have started a war for their hometown and for "honor," waging war both online and offline.

On the internet, you can see phrases like "Sichuan flavor is the best" and "Guizhou flavor is the strongest".

One says it has a long history, another says it has a unique flavor.
People from Sichuan province describe their wolf tooth potatoes as having five key characteristics: numbing, spicy, fresh, fragrant, and mellow. They emphasize their mature, classic, and irresistible qualities.

People from Guizhou say their cuisine is based on "sour, spicy, fresh, unique, and simple," emphasizing the natural and distinctive flavors of the mountains and fields.

People from other provinces and cities chimed in, saying that whether it's Sichuan cuisine or Guizhou cuisine, each has its irreplaceable charm and profound cultural support, reflecting the vastness and depth of Chinese cuisine.

No one listened; the arguing continued, the "battle" continued.

This has caused Sichuan cuisine to dominate the trending topics list for several days, with no sign of it cooling down.

In the end, the "frontal battlefield" wasn't enough, so they started doing something unorthodox, like making up rhymes.

Sichuan cuisine is delicious, Sichuan cuisine is amazing, Sichuan cuisine bangs against the wall!

[Sichuan cuisine goes on an offensive, leaving nothing but desolation! Wolf-tooth potatoes reign supreme!]

[Chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns flying everywhere, Sichuan-style "wolf teeth" (a Sichuanese cooking technique) is really something! Guizhou brothers, don't be jealous, you can't handle this!]

One bite and you're hooked; two bites and you're hooked forever; three bites and you'll instantly become a "Sichuanese"!

People from Sichuan Province "started the war".

People from your province "immediately accepted the challenge."

They even started making up rhymes.

[It's so delicious, so wonderful, so fragrant it'll make you jump for joy!]

[Sour to the point of intoxication, spicy to the point of ecstasy, this exquisite flavor will make you cry out for your mother!]

[A single bite is so satisfying it reaches your very core; even the gods would praise it!]

Enjoy life to the fullest, and feast to your heart's content at Guizhou Langya Restaurant! Forget about spicy and numbing flavors, one bite of this sour and spicy combination is truly domineering!

They're all quite talented, and their songs are catchy.

A catchy rhyme spreads much faster than a dry boast.

It spread across the entire internet in just a few days.

They've all become memes.

Once something becomes a meme, like "blue and sad mushroom," "two and a half years," or "Old Eight's Secret Recipe Mini Burger," it's considered a meme.

It's like getting on a rocket, whoosh, in a flash.

It's everywhere—in the comments, in the live stream, whether it's related or not.

Historically known as the "First Sichuan-Guizhou War," the fierce battle was raging!
As a result, long queues formed again in front of the Pretty Cat store, all of them lured in to try something new.

Each person also received at least two portions: one Sichuan-style and one Guizhou-style.

We need to see what they're arguing about and taste which one tastes better.

One bite of Sichuan flavor, and I slapped my thigh in amazement! How could this be so delicious? I never knew it before!

Another bite of this expensive flavor, and I'm slapping my thigh in delight.

"Holy crap, I didn't buy enough!"

Turn around and go queue up again...

It's a cycle, which is...

As a result, the numbers on the screen above the cute little cat's storefront jumped up rapidly, one after another, chasing each other.

The pretty kitten even threw away the burlap sack.

They were scooping money into their pockets with a big rake.

It's really giving Luo Yihang a lot of trouble.

The original plan was that each store could sell ten jin a day, with 1,400 stores and a yield of 1,000 mu, which would amount to 2.8 million jin, enough to sell for five months, and then the next round would begin.

Judging from the current situation, one store can sell ten kilograms a day?
It weighs more than two hundred pounds.

Still selling for five months?
It would be a miracle if they could last a month.

Luo Yihang could already foresee what netizens would say.

Nobody believes what the cat-headed guy says.

[Cat head, did you know that your credit score is currently negative?]

[Oh my god, who is this? Isn't this the one who's always on the go? How come he's already had diarrhea in less than a month?]

[Here's a joke: The cat-headed guy says there's plenty of stock.]

It's definitely all sarcastic and malicious talk; the company's reputation has been damaged.

Sigh, you get used to it after a while.

Anyway, this time it's the cute little cat that's selling, so what does it have to do with cat heads?

Let Old Liu worry about it...

And accordingly.

As the Qiuyan No. 16 seedlings were shipped out in a flurry, the farmers in Tongzi County who participated in the trial planting were overjoyed.

The potatoes that were dug up were taken away right at the edge of the field.

The money arrives in the afternoon after the potatoes are hauled away in the morning; the speed at which you make money depends on how fast you dig potatoes.

The farmers were so happy that their backs ached and they were panting, but their faces and hearts were beaming with joy.

Sigh, I regret not planting more.

Yang Bingcheng was also extremely busy, as the entire Tongzi County and surrounding areas were requesting the planting of Qiuyan No. 16.

The second round of trial planting encountered absolutely no difficulties; the entire 10,000 mu was completed in just one day.

Another day passed, and he was almost driven crazy with worry. He couldn't stay if he didn't find a place to try planting potatoes. Tongzi County has a current potato planting area of ​​150,000 mu.

Only 10,000 mu for the second round of trial planting? Who are they looking down on?

However, if they want to expand the area, they don't have enough seedlings.

This is only the second round, after all.

With no other option, Yang Bingcheng could only seek support from headquarters to build a few potato aeroponic facilities first...

It's like adding water when there's too much flour, and adding flour when there's too much water.

As for the other counties...

I'm envious and jealous.

Isn't it supposed to be one specialty per county? When will it be our turn...?
