My 1978 Hotel

Chapter 87: Five Hundred Thousand Wants to Buy Out Jiangnan No. Fresh Food, Dreaming
"Good morning, Sister Wu."

Li Feng washed up and went downstairs. He saw Sister Wu in the kitchen preparing breakfast. He looked at the time and saw it was almost half past six. "Second brother, little brother, are you up yet?"

"The little brother just sent me a message. He's washing up and will be here soon."

"Then let's pack up and take some hunting dogs for a good run." Li Feng wanted to take the hunting dogs into the mountains to hunt as soon as possible. There was no hunting ban in Hanjiaba. When the time came, he could get a few guns and take a few hunting dogs with him so that he would not be afraid even if he encountered wild beasts.

"I've brought water and rope."

"Where's the hatchet?"

"Hatchet?"

Gao Ju and Gao Cheng only brought two small knives for self-defense, and they didn't bring any hatchets. "Let's take two hatchets. No one has been in the mountains for a while. Some of the paths are overgrown with weeds and branches, and we might need hatchets to clear the way."

"I'll go to the storeroom and get two hatchets."

Not many people go into the mountains at this time of year, and in recent years, even fewer people are buying bamboo, mountain products, and wild fruits.

When Li Muchen came down, everything was ready and we were just waiting for him to bring a few hunting dogs.

Arriving at the villa area, Wu Tong, Qin Yue, Uncle Wu and Aunt Wang were already ready. "Uncle Wu, Aunt Wang, good morning."

"Boss Li, thank you for your help."

"What are you talking about?"

You guys have two villas costing 1,500 yuan a day, and you have two tables of health banquets costing 3,888 yuan a day. This contributes tens of thousands of yuan in sales to the B&B every day. It's not a big deal at all.

"lets go."

After a quick breakfast, Li Feng said something to Han Zhaoxia. "I'm going to the mountains with Uncle Wu, Aunt Wang, and the others. I'll be back around 9:30. Please help me settle the bill when Brother Zhang delivers the goods."

"got it."

Han Zhaoxia yawned. "Hurry up! My elder sister and the others will be here soon."

"Don't worry, it won't be too late."

With two elderly people around, it’s impossible for them to take a long walk and come back in less than two hours.

The group walked out of the B&B and headed towards the mountains.

"Hey, why is there a cobblestone road here?"

"We had originally planned to develop several hills here."

It was a bit costly to build a section of the stone road, so Han Dong gave up the plan. However, Li Feng is now a little worried. At least the hill near the B&B can be developed to make a campsite.

"The road ahead is a bit difficult to walk on, Uncle Wu, Aunt Wang, go slower."

After leaving the stone road, the road became difficult to walk on, and the path was mostly covered with weeds and branches. Li Feng took out a hatchet and cleared some branches around the path.

"It's okay. Your Aunt Wang and I went into this kind of mountain many times when we were young."

"Look, these are wild grapes."

Wu Zhenhua said with a smile. "Hmm, try it." He picked some and handed them to Aunt Wang. "It still tastes the same as before."

"You guys should try it too."

Sour. When Li Feng first entered the mountains, Han Dong tricked Li Feng into eating wild grapes. Even if they are ripe, they are mainly sour with little sweetness.

"So sour."

As expected, Wu Tong and Qin Yue fell for it. Li Feng, Gao Ju, and Gao Cheng exchanged a few smiles. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wang, however, enjoyed the fruits and picked quite a few. The whole area was covered in wild grapes, and Han Dong had even considered picking some.

"Is that Tangli in front?"

"Yes, Aunt Wang."

There are many wild fruits on this hilltop. In addition to wild grapes, there are also some wild kiwis, pears, bayberries, August fried fruits, ground pears, hawthorns, and wild persimmons. However, the taste is average. Either they are very sour or they are small in size.

Especially the taste is not even a little bit worse than that of cultivated fruit trees, and you will probably be scolded to death if you pick them.

“This is so sour.”

Small kiwis are definitely sour if they are not fully ripe, and they are still very sour even if they are fully ripe. Not to mention wild persimmons, which are very astringent. Wild hawthorns are better and can be used to make candied haws.

"What a pity. There are so many wild fruit trees. If the taste were better, I'm afraid that developing this hill alone would attract many tourists."

This is a problem. How can this wild variety taste good, unless there is a genetic mutation?

"what."

Li Feng was laughing in his heart, thinking that these two girls were too whimsical, and then he thought of the system.

If this wild fruit tree is optimized, can it achieve the effect that Wu Tong said? If so,

Contracting these hills wouldn't be a bad idea; it could even be a lucrative venture. Li Feng was tempted. "Let's go back to Hanjiaba and see if there are any wild fruit trees there. I'd like to experiment with them."

If it really works, we will make a lot of money from this mountain from now on.

"Boss Li."

"what happened?"

"Boar."

Li Muchen was a little excited. He never thought that he would encounter wild boars near the hill outside the B&B.

"Where?" Li Feng was startled by the wild boar. This place was not far from the B&B. If it ran into the B&B, it would be a big problem.

Wild boars are very ferocious. Li Feng followed the direction pointed by Li Muchen and saw a half-grown sow with three or four little wild boars eating the fallen fruits on the ground, grunting.

"This wild boar is small, just right for training our three hunting dogs."

If you are lucky enough to kill one or two wild boars, you can have an extra meal at noon.

The little wild boar tastes good, the meat is delicate and tender, and the wild boar smell can be easily suppressed as long as the seasoning is done well.

"Then give it a try."

Three hunting dogs can easily deal with a wild boar weighing no more than 60 or 70 kilograms, and there is even less need to worry about a small wild boar weighing more than 10 kilograms.

"Wu Tong, take Uncle Wu and Aunt Wang away first." Although the wild boar was not big, it was still quite scary when it got angry. If it randomly bumped into Uncle Wu and Aunt Wang, it would be a big trouble.

"Oh."

Wu Tong actually wanted to see the hounds surrounding the wild boar; it was a rare sight. "Boss Li, can you take a picture of it with your phone?"

"no problem."

Looking back at Douyin, there are rewards for hunting wild boars in town now, and it’s fine as long as you don’t sell them privately.

"Brother, let's start." After waiting for Wu Tong and others to leave for a while, Li Feng nodded to the preparation brother, Gao Ju, and Gao Cheng.

The three hunting dogs dispersed to surround the wild boar. The three hunting dogs were very powerful and rushed straight towards the wild boar.

The female wild boar spotted the hunting dog immediately and ran away, completely forgetting about the little wild boar.

Wild boar cubs can regenerate, but lives cannot.

"Running pretty fast."

The mother wild boar suddenly disappeared into the bushes. The hunting dogs could not catch up with her and could only watch her escape. However, two of the three little wild boars were trapped, one was bitten to death, and the other was caught and not seriously injured.

"Not bad, a good harvest."

Li Feng weighed the little wild boar and found it was about twelve or thirteen pounds. It was not big enough and was just the right size to eat. He could get at least seven or eight pounds of meat from one.

This kind of small wild boar has almost no fat and is similar to venison. It is best used to make pickle pot. Add red pepper for seasoning to suppress the wild boar smell and make it taste the most tender and fragrant.

"We need to deal with it quickly."

The group did not linger in the mountains and hurried down the mountain. When they arrived at the B&B, they saw that it was just past nine o'clock.

"Did you really catch him?"

Wu Tong and Qin Yue were quite surprised to see Li Feng carrying two little wild boars. They had thought that it would be too difficult to chase wild boars in the mountains and forests, and they were afraid that they would return empty-handed. However, they never expected that they could actually catch two.

"Wild boar?"

Han Zhaoxia was also quite surprised to catch a wild boar on this trip up the mountain. It was quite unexpected. She had grown up in the mountains and had rarely seen anyone catch a wild boar. "That's pretty lucky. It's just right for an extra dish at lunch."

"They're adding more food. A whole lamb just arrived."

Han Chaoxia rolled her eyes at Li Feng. This guy has been a little bit arrogant lately and is spending money lavishly.

"It's Mom's 70th birthday, let's make it lively. Besides, a sheep isn't worth much."

Li Feng smiled. "I'll go call Sister Wu and ask her to take care of the wild boar."

"Dad, the little wild boar is still alive."

"Yeah." Li Feng said with a smile. "Why?"

"Dad, can you please keep it?"

"Don't eat?"

Li Feng muttered, "This wild boar is not easy to raise. Besides, wild boars have a strong smell, and the bigger they are, the more destructive they are." "Yiyi, can Daddy buy you a small fragrant pig later? Wild boars can bite people."

"Oh." But this one was not dead. For a moment, Li Feng was unsure whether to kill it or keep it.

"Why don't you keep it for now? This one is enough to eat." Han Chaoxia said with some reluctance.

"Row."

Then you have to apply some medicine, bandage it, and give it an injection, otherwise it might die, and that would take a lot of effort.

"Sister Wu, could you please prepare the wild boar and make two pots for lunch, stewing it with plenty of dried chilies and pickles?"

After giving some instructions, Li Feng and Han Chaoxia drove a ox cart to pick up his father-in-law and mother-in-law to the B&B.

"This ox cart is quite rare."

Many villagers from Hanjia Village came out to watch the fun, especially the children who had returned from the city, who were circling around the ox cart.

Li Yi was quite proud to introduce the big black bull to the children, and the big black bull was very cooperative and docile.

"Why did you come all the way to pick me up when it's such a short distance?"

Gao Sulan didn't even want to celebrate her birthday. That wouldn't work. After all, a seventieth birthday isn't like any other birthday. "I have a car, so it's convenient to go."

"Uncle."

"Second uncle."

This time, in addition to my mother-in-law and her husband, we also invited Han Zhaoxia's uncle and second uncle's families. "Ox cart?" Although we haven't seen it in years, everyone felt quite emotional sitting in it.

"This ox cart is as soft as the one we used to have."

“Not bumpy at all.”

That's not because the shock absorbers are well made. Besides, the roads are flat now and the villages are all made of cement roads. It is very uncomfortable for the ox cart to move slowly and slowly.

After returning to the B&B, it didn’t take long before my eldest brother-in-law and my third brother-in-law’s families arrived.

The children from both families who are in college are on vacation and came to play this time.

"Aunt dad, aunt."

"Xuanxuan, Zihan is here."

Li Feng smiled and invited his eldest brother-in-law and third brother-in-law to come in and sit down.

"Why don't you see anyone?"

My brother-in-law looked around the B&B and found it was still very deserted.

"A few fishermen came to the reservoir early this morning."

He basically doesn't care about fishing anymore. Now his homestay focuses on health banquets and the best fresh food in Jiangnan.

"Hey, wild boar?"

"I just encountered it when I entered the mountains."

Li Feng said with a smile, "It's perfect for drinking at noon."

"This thing is good, especially for such a small size, the meat is tender."

My third brother-in-law said, "It's not easy to eat it if you want to."

"That's true."

My brother-in-law also nodded. This was a delicious dish and he was quite satisfied with it without saying anything.

After sitting in the house for a while, since it was still early, Li Feng accompanied his eldest brother-in-law and third brother-in-law to the reservoir to fish.

"Mr. Qin?"

Li Feng answered the phone. It was Qin Guocheng. He almost forgot about it. This person said he wanted to talk to him about cooperation today.

"Is something wrong?"

The third brother-in-law put down his fishing rod. "Why don't you go back first?"

"Yes, there is something. Let's discuss a cooperation."

Li Feng was not quite sure what cooperation Qin Guocheng was talking about.

"Then let's go back."

It's almost eleven o'clock now. It's getting late. Let's go back first.

When the three of them returned to the door of the B&B, they bumped into Qin Guocheng's car, a Mercedes-Benz. Li Feng felt that he was a boss after all, and no matter what car he drove, he would eventually change to a luxury car.

"Mr. Qin."

Li Feng stepped forward and greeted him. He wondered if the general manager of Huicai Garden wanted to discuss any cooperation with him.

"Boss Li."

Qin Guocheng came here this time to discuss cooperation with Li Feng about Jiangnan No. 1 Fresh. Huicaiyuan is a large chain store. If it can acquire Jiangnan No. 1 Fresh, it will have a certain advantage over several other competitors.

Li Feng didn't expect that this person came here for the best delicacy in Jiangnan.

"Boss Qin, how do you plan to cooperate?"

Li Feng was curious about how Mr. Qin worked together. If there was any secret recipe for Jiangnan's No. 1 delicacy, it was the delicious fish meat. Nothing else. Neither Sister Wu's cooking skills nor the seasonings were ordinary.

"One-time buyout."

Li Feng was a little confused about buying out the dish. Should he buy the name of the dish Jiangnan No. 1 Fresh or the supply channel together? "Boss Qin, the Jiangnan No. 1 Fresh brand is actually not worth much. After all, the Yangtze River No. 1 or the Southern Anhui No. 1 Fresh are too many titles."

"Boss Li, I understand this."

Qin Guocheng certainly didn't buy the name of a dish, he wanted to get Li Feng's supply channels. He was not stupid. The most important thing about this dish was the ingredients. However, he asked around and even asked people specifically for help, but he still couldn't find out the supply channels of the B&B.

"How much does Mr. Qin plan to pay?"

Li Feng was curious about how much Qin Guocheng was going to pay. This dish was sold once a day at the B&B, but Li Feng was very confident in it. Needless to say, anyone who had tasted it would find other miscellaneous fish hotpots tasteless.

Li Feng had no doubt that Jiangnan’s No. 1 Fresh Restaurant would become famous over time.

"Half a million."

Li Feng thought that Mr. Qin was brave enough to offer 500,000 yuan. This price was actually not bad. It was just a dish. According to the current situation of the B&B, Li Feng had no reason to disagree with this price.

Qin Guocheng had heard that Li Feng was planning to sell his homestay a while ago, and the asking price was no more than 500,000.

"Five hundred thousand. Mr. Qin's price is not low."

Li Feng smiled. "But I'm sorry, this vegetable is not for sale."

He definitely won’t sell it. As for cooperation, Li Feng thought about it and decided to give up at this stage because the amount he can carry is limited.

Qin Guocheng didn't expect Li Feng to refuse outright. He was a little surprised because he had learned about the situation of the B&B.

As for the loach health banquet, he wasn't too sure. He just felt it wasn't very reliable. What kind of loach could nourish the kidneys? What a joke, unless they were feeding the fish Wei Ge. "Boss Li, wouldn't you consider it?"

"no need."

Li Feng shook his head. "Boss Qin, if you want to try Jiangnan's best seafood, I'm always happy to help you. As for cooperation, let's forget about it."

"OK then."

Qin Guocheng's face wasn't looking good, but he still left his business card before leaving. "If Boss Li changes his mind, you can call me anytime."

"I'll see Mr. Qin off."

"no need."

Qin Guocheng walked out of the B&B and looked back at Li Feng.

"Boss Qin, take care."

After watching Qin Guocheng leave, I returned to the private room. My eldest and third brothers-in-law were talking about this matter. "He's gone?"

"gone."

"How's the cooperation going?"

My brother-in-law thought someone wanted to invest in a B&B.

"I declined."

"Why?"

My brother-in-law was a little surprised. Isn’t the B&B short of money right now?

"You want to buy out Jiangnan No. 1 Fresh for just 500,000? That's too cheap."

"What? Five hundred thousand for Jiangnan's most delicious dish, that small fish pot?"

Zhao Qingbei spat out a mouthful of tea, and his third brother-in-law Sun Ji beside him was also surprised.
