Changshui Village Farming Notes

Chapter 414 Arbutus on the Market (Four in One)

"I think Lao Yang seems to know something about the source of the goods, but last time I asked him, he didn't tell me clearly." The old man said again.

"The old fellow is well-informed."

"Old Yang?! Seriously, I haven't seen him for a long time, where do I feel at ease now!"

"What did you say that you moved to your hometown in the country, and now your life is idle!"

"Hey, this old boy is very good at enjoying life! He is also quite open-minded. His son and grandson are all in the provincial capital, and he ran to the countryside alone."

"To be honest, I sometimes envy Lao Yang. I have a hometown with beautiful mountains and rivers. Unfortunately, my hometown is in the provincial capital. Otherwise, I can go to a small village to live a secluded life after retirement. A cup of tea, Wouldn't it be nice to live in a floating life for half a day?"

"What's so difficult about it? Let's go and see Lao Yang sometime, isn't it? His country yard is big and there are many houses, enough for us all to live in!" Everyone was talking about excitement, and an old man suggested Went to Yang's hometown to have fun.

"Oh, that's a good idea. Anyway, we'll be fine after we retire."

While talking, the waiter delivered what Yin Lao ordered.

It was served on a wooden tray, and a snow-white porcelain cup on it contained Ge Xianmi stewed pears, and the other contained bayberry in transparent glass. When they saw the things, everyone immediately had a feeling of lightening up.

Stewed pear with Ge Xianmi is no surprise to everyone who eats it often. What is surprising is the bayberry served on the plate.

It is a two-layered plate. On the upper layer, there are more than a dozen bright red and round bayberries the size of pigeon eggs neatly placed. On the lower layer, there is a layer of green bayberry leaves. On the lower layer, there is dry ice. Open, you can see a few pieces of ice that are steaming.

"Hey, look at how beautiful this thing is." An old man couldn't help laughing.

"They just like to make some flashy things." There are also old people laughing and complaining.

Although the few old people are not the kind of people who like to eat red bayberries, they couldn't help but reach out to pick up a piece and put it in their mouths to taste it when they saw such an exquisite presentation.

Because it has been iced, the entrance of the bayberry is a little bit of coolness. After chewing a few times, the taste of the bayberry meat blooms in the mouth, and a sweet taste immediately occupies your senses. Delicate slag.

Ordinary bayberry, because of the pulp, will inevitably leave some impurities on the teeth after eating, but this one will not, and the teeth will still be as white as new after eating.

The taste is also sweet, but not too greasy. This is the first time they have eaten such a delicious red bayberry!

There were only a dozen red bayberries in this plate, and within a minute, it was already empty. Many old people hadn't even thought about it, and they saw that the plate was gone.

Seeing the intoxicated expressions on the faces of all the old people, the waitress put away the plates in satisfaction and prepared to go back.

"Ah, ah, Xiaoyue, there are only a few red bayberries on your plate!" An old man immediately stopped the waiter.

When Lao Yin was ordering just now, he saw it. There were only thirty red bayberries on this plate, and there were only a few of them.

The waitress often dealt with this group of old people, and she also smiled a few times, "Grandpas, our boss said that this thing is expensive, and there are only a few dishes on a plate. They are all transported from the mountains and cultivated by others. Excellent variety, very expensive! You see, the bayberry in that shop is as big as ours, sweet and delicious."

Everyone was silent for a moment.

"It's ok, don't talk about it, your boss is a money-seeker, let's not talk about anything else, let's play two more games!" An old man waved his hand impatiently.

Come on, no matter how expensive it is, I want to eat so much, what can I do!

Pay for it!
However, no matter how delicious bayberry is, you can’t eat too much, so let’s have two plates of sweet mouth!

……

The bayberry in Moon Bay was bought by Fatty Wang at a high price in Suiyuan. Although it was expensive, many people went to Suiyuan to report every day just to eat this plate of bayberry.

Several high-end supermarkets in the provincial capital have been stocking a batch of fresh red bayberries during this period. The taste is similar to Suiyuan's, but the quality is a little different, but this does not affect people's desire to buy it.

The zongzi that Fatty Wang gave to Mr. Yin was already cooked, you just need to take it home and tear off the outer packaging, and re-cook or steam it before eating.

After retirement, Mr. Yin lived with his wife in a cadre compound in the provincial capital, and his son lived in another community about half an hour's drive away from them.

On weekends, Mr. Yin's son would bring his granddaughter to stay at home for two days.

So when Mr. Yin came home today, he and his wife were the only ones at home.

"Old Yin is back!"

"Yes, Xiao Deng didn't go to work today?"

"No, today is a day off!"

In the compound, Mr. Yin carried his things into the community, and people greeted him along the way.

When I entered the house, I found that my wife had returned.

His wife's surname is Wu, and he was a colleague in the same department when he was young.

But they all have their own hobbies. His wife fell in love with dancing folk dances when he got old, and Mr. Yin read some books, played some chess, and found some delicious food.

Therefore, the life of Mr. Yin and his wife after retirement is generally that he often goes out to play chess and have dinner with his old friends, and his wife goes to the dance team to practice dancing every day.

As soon as he entered the door, Yin Laoshun put the zongzi given by Fatty Wang on the key cabinet.

"Hey, what is this! The box is so pretty." My wife came out of the room when she heard the sound of Mr. Yin entering the door, and asked when she saw the bright red box.

"Isn't it the Dragon Boat Festival? These are the zongzi sent by Suiyuan."

"I will make porridge at night, so can we eat zongzi?" said my wife.

"Okay, Fatty Wang just said that this zongzi is delicious, let's try it first, I'll go buy some after it tastes good." Mr. Yin said, just as he was craving zongzi today.

After the rice dumplings were cooked, Mr. Yin chose one at random, and peeled off the leaves, revealing the soy-sauce-colored glutinous rice inside.

A strong aroma of pork filled Yin Lao's nostrils, and he couldn't wait to take a bite. The glutinous rice has a delicate taste, the pork is just right salty, and the oily flowers are just right, and the taste is very smooth.

Mr. Yin involuntarily closed his eyes, trying to experience the wonderful taste of the rice dumplings.

"Hey, why is there an egg yolk!"

His wife sounded a little surprised. Mr. Yin looked up and saw that the rice dumpling had been divided into two halves in the opposite plate, and there was a shiny golden egg yolk lying in the middle.

"Old Yin, this zongzi tastes good!"

Only then did Mr. Yin know that one of the zongzi sent by Suiyuan was meat zongzi and the other was salted egg yolk zongzi.

He reached out and took another small piece of salted egg yolk from his wife's plate.

The salted egg yolk tastes like a soft and sandy taste at the beginning, and after aftertaste, there is a salty aroma of salted egg yolk, which is very long-lasting and strong. After Mr. Yin brushed his teeth, the taste of salted egg yolk and meat dumplings faded a little .

When he went to bed at night, his wife said to Mr. Yin, "Old Yin, I ate those zongzi that were delicious. Tomorrow you can go to Suiyuan to buy some more. When my son comes back with his granddaughter on the weekend, I will eat them too." Let them taste it."

"Row."

Mr. Yin thought about the zongzi he ate today, and he ate one by himself, and it disappeared before he could recall the taste. He always felt that something was missing, and he thought of the cold, sweet and sour bayberry on the plate, which tasted good too. .

hiss!
Why does it feel like this saliva is about to flow down again.

This kind of delicacy must be eaten by his precious granddaughter.

On the second day, Mr. Yin and his friend finished playing chess, and they came to Suiyuan hand in hand. Unexpectedly, they saw several old friends gathered around Fatty Wang at the bar. Seeing that, they looked a little anxious .

Old Yin was suspicious for a moment, it was the first time he saw this group of friends, they were so unmannered!
The old friend next to him said, "Hey, these old guys, what's going on today, why aren't you in the box? What are you talking about to the little fat man?"

"Let's go and have a look and see!" Elder Yin said.

As soon as the two walked into the bar, they heard a group of old guys talking there.

"Xiao Wang, you said that this is the place where you open a restaurant, but you don't sell zongzi. What kind of restaurant do you open if you don't sell zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

"Yeah, tell us how much it is, can we just give it?"

"Yeah, what are you talking about, you only give it away and don't sell it, you are so desperate for money, will you let go of the money you can make?"

"Take out the zongzi quickly."

"Yes, that is, hurry up."

Surrounded by these old men, Fatty Wang really couldn't argue with his words. He originally wanted to send zongzi to give back to his regular customers during the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Old gentlemen, it's not fat that I don't want to sell. It's because I ordered so many when I placed the order. Now almost all of them have been sent out, and I don't have any here. It's too late to buy now." Fatty Wang said with a full face. helpless.

"I said, little fat man, you really don't know how to make money. This Dragon Boat Festival is such a good opportunity to make money, so let it slip away." An old man said with some dissatisfaction.

Unexpectedly, some old people complained that Fatty Wang didn't give them a chance to spend money.

"It's too late. There are still four or five days before the Dragon Boat Festival. The little fat man called the boss to ask if he could send another batch."

After hearing the conversation of several people, Mr. Yin understood what happened.
It must be that this group of old guys went home like him yesterday and cooked rice dumplings and ate them. They didn't eat enough. Today they came to Suiyuan to buy rice dumplings with the same purpose as him.

However, from the tone of the little fat man, they must be out of stock here, and they have to go to the merchant to order again.

"Little Fatty, then you can call and ask now." Elder Yin stood behind the crowd and said to Fatty Wang.

The other old people were stunned for a moment, realizing that Lao Yin had actually come, and then began to support his proposal.

"Yes, little fat man, you call the boss now."

"We watch you fight."

Fatty Wang was in a dilemma, looked at the menacing old people in front of him, thought for a while, and had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and call Gu Kuangyun.

On Moon Bay, the zongzi making project is in full swing.

Now the online store can buy more than 500 zongzi every day, and with the tourists who come to travel, it is not a problem to sell [-] or [-] zongzi.

They insist on making the rice dumplings after placing the order, so the big pot for cooking rice dumplings in the yard has not been removed yet.

Every day, the smell of rice dumplings cooked in Moon Bay can always waft far away, so the villagers living near Moon Bay can be said to be miserable. They are tempted by the smell every day, but they also make rice dumplings at home and go to other people’s houses. What is it to buy.

Fortunately, after a few days, they can be regarded as a little resistant.

Master Yang made the stuffing, and the others made zongzi.

Some tourists who came to play, some looked interested, and tried to pack a bag.

Gu Kuangyun was in charge of cooking the zongzi, and after the zongzi had cooled down, they were pressed into a vacuum-packed state with a vacuum machine.

Not to mention, although it is done with a machine, it is still very hard to vacuum up one by one like this. Thanks to Gu Kuangyun who often uses Lingquan water to recuperate his body, otherwise, he would have been tired and collapsed.

Master Yang said, Yang He will be the one to vacuum the vacuum today.

When Fatty Wang called, Gu Kuangyun was doing such work.

As soon as the phone rang, she turned it off first, and then answered the call.

"Hey, what's the matter, Brother Long?"

"Sister Xiaoyun, are you busy now?"

"No, what's the matter?"

Fatty Wang turned his body slightly to prevent the old men in front of him who were staring at him from hearing the content of his phone call.

"Sister Xiaoyun, it's urgent, you have to help me."

Gu Kuangyun laughed, "What's the matter, Brother Long, why is it so urgent!"

"Can you give me some zongzi? Your brother and I are surrounded by several uncles who can't afford to offend. Let me bring out the zongzi!"

Thinking of that scene, Gu Kuangyun couldn't help chuckling, "Okay, but the current zongzi doesn't have the same packaging as before! And it's a lot bigger than the previous zongzi. If you pursue exquisiteness, then I can't help it." There is no other way."

Fatty Wang can't take care of these things now, it's good to have them, and now Xiaohang will probably blame him again.

"All right, all right, I want as many as I want, you can ask Xiao Tao to send it to me tomorrow, and there is no need to do the packaging, I will do it myself." Fatty Wang said.

After hanging up the phone, Fatty Wang heaved a sigh of relief.

Turning around to face the old people, they were smiling all over their faces again.

"Hey, old gentlemen, it's agreed that the zongzi will come tomorrow, but this time we don't have the exquisite packaging before! It's just ordinary vacuum plastic packaging, and the taste is only meat dumplings."

An old man nodded impatiently, "Okay, that's it! We don't care about the packaging of your raisins, what's the use of being so beautiful, they are all eaten in the stomach, and it's not a waste of social resources. "

Fatty Wang Wang was speechless and could only smile apologetically.

What a simple and accustomed person!

Fatty Wang also likes this kind of down-to-earth people, but in this circle, some things have to be made more flashy, such as the packaging of the zongzi.
