Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 262 Zhang Mingming Sells Vegetables

It was said that Zhang Mingming went to the neighboring city to find a market for the Rong family's vegetables, and he brought only two small workers from the Rong's fried chicken shop, each with a basket of fresh vegetables on his back, to this new town.

This town is not very far from Jiangcheng, and it only took the three of them one morning to walk there. When we arrived in the city, it was just in time for every household to start cooking.

So at the market at this moment, there are not many people who come to buy things, and the street looks a little empty. Some stall owners saw the three people who were obviously selling things, and said, "Young man, come to our suburban county to sell things. Things have to be rushed early! You come at this time... who is still going to the market here! "

Come on... This killed the original plan to investigate the situation in the market first, and the three of them went straight to other streets and wandered around.

This suburban county still looks pretty good. It is not affected by winter, nor troubled by refugees. The people live and work in peace and prosperity.

It was almost time for lunch, and the aimless group soon noticed that they were panicking with hunger, and sang "Empty City Plan" one after another.

"Goll-goo!--"

Zhang Mingming didn't have much appetite, but he had to take the two of them to the restaurant to fill his stomach.

Originally about to step into a small restaurant by the side of the road, Zhang Mingming stopped suddenly, and asked a passerby to inquire: "Excuse me, uncle, where are the best restaurants in the suburban county?"

The passers-by hardly thought about it, and blurted out: "The best restaurant is Wang's restaurant, where the dishes are cheap and delicious, and the most people go there! The most expensive is Linglong restaurant, the dishes are still small, it is for dignitaries! There is also a Fengxiang Inn where the food is delicious, but... it's not much cheaper, the three brothers want to go to Wang's restaurant if they want to eat!"

This person might be an old gourmet, and he opened his mouth when talking about restaurants, but his evaluation was also the most useful, so he asked him for the specific location of each restaurant, and ended up leading him straight to Linglong Restaurant without even thinking about it.

Xiaogong Zhang Er said: "Brother Zhang is so generous, he took us to such a luxurious place for dinner!"

Zhang obviously responded, and his mind was obviously not on eating, and he was not as looking forward to a big meal as the two people around him.

When I arrived at the "Linglong Restaurant", I found that it was just a spacious streetside shop. Where did Jiangcheng's newly opened "VIP Building" last year have the prestige, it occupies the most prosperous area along the street with two floors.

The big signboard in regular script hangs up outside, in addition to engraving the big characters of Linglong Restaurant, there is also a line of small characters below: It should have the taste of the world.

Before going in, Zhang Mingming explained some things to the two small workers around him, and said: "After going in for a while, you must cooperate with everything I say! Help me to make noises when necessary, and give me insightful explanations. Only when I go back Your benefits! Do you understand?"

The two nodded in unison.

The interior decoration is quite elegant, and it was time for the meal, and the guests inside accounted for less than half. A waiter came up and greeted warmly: "Three guests, are you here for dinner? Need a private room No?"

Zhang Mingming waved his hand and said, "No need, just sit down there."

He pointed to a table with a lot of people around him, and took a few people over to sit down. The two workers looked around and looked at the No. [-] restaurant in the suburban county. Zhang Mingming was looking around for the diners. What dishes.

After a while, the pretty waiter girl came over and asked softly: "Guest officer, what do you want to order?!"

Zhang Mingming secretly thought that he really asked for an idea, so he said: "First, let's have fried three delicacies, cabbage soup, vegetable soup, what special dishes do you have?"

The girl was taken aback, and said: "Guest officer...it's the season, where can I find the vegetables you mentioned?"

After Zhang Mingming heard this, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh—? So you can't eat fresh vegetables at Linglong Restaurant?! Hey...it's a pity! It's said that the dishes made by Linglong Restaurant are fresh, exquisite, and famous. It’s everything, why don’t you even want to eat some simple dishes, tsk tsk tsk!”

He made a look of sighing, but such an answer was what he expected.

The little girl could not refute, so she could only say: "Guest officer, don't embarrass us... I am afraid that these fresh seasonal vegetables are only available in the vegetable garden specially cultivated for the emperor in the palace at this time of year!"

Zhang Mingming's mind was very flexible. While talking, he had already thought of a good advertising plan in his mind.

After the little girl had finished speaking, he stood up alone, slapped the table, and shouted loudly: "What a broken shop! How dare you claim to be the best restaurant in the suburbs if you want nothing! The price is so expensive! Put you The shopkeeper called out, I want theory theory! How dare you hang up that signboard when you can’t produce anything, isn’t it saying that the taste of the world should be there?”

The little girl was a little timid for Zhang Mingming's obvious fault-finding, but Ren bravely argued: "Guest officer... We do have this kind of ordinary food at Linglong Restaurant... It's just made of the fresh seasonal vegetables you mentioned. Dishes, in this season, there are no restaurants in the world, right?! Don’t embarrass us!”

After finishing speaking, the little girl persuaded: "However, we have our main winter dishes, and guests can use some of them! For example, our stewed lamb, braised beef, flavored sausage, tofu soup, fish balls in fresh soup, etc. These tastes are not bad, if you come and order some, you will definitely like it!"

However, before the little girl finished speaking, Zhang Mingming gave the two subordinates a look, and the two immediately got up, not only slapped the table, but also planned to throw the bowl, full of anger, and said: "The little girl's house is so boring? ! Go and ask your shopkeeper to come out! Come and explain to us why there are no vegetables in the store?!"

These two have good acting skills, and their voices are also loud. They immediately attracted all the eyes in the store. The common people like to watch the excitement. The situation here seems to be that a few old men are bullying the little girl. Looking for something to see, the people who were busy eating at Linglong Restaurant also put down their bowls and chopsticks, and came over to form a group to watch the excitement.

At this time, Zhang Mingming gave another signal, and another subordinate accepted his intention, pushed aside the crowd, picked up a pair of bowls and chopsticks, walked to the entrance of Linglong Restaurant, and shouted to passers-by: "Come here! Linglong The restaurant is deceiving customers! You want everything you want, and you dare to put up a signboard that has everything you need! Deliberately deceive customers!"

As soon as the loud voice came out, coupled with the chattering and knocking of the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, the passers-by were indeed attracted, and they all stopped to see what was going on in Linglong Restaurant.

There was such a chaos in the store, the shopkeeper naturally couldn't sit still behind the counter, and walked over to several people.

He clasped his fists and bowed and said, "Heroes! How did our Linglong Restaurant offend you?... How could you think of using fresh vegetables to embarrass us?! The few things the heroes ordered... We really can't find them Ah! Everyone in the world can eat it except in the palace, how can we ordinary people see it at this season?! If the guest officer doesn’t believe it, go to the farmland on the outskirts of the city and have a look, where are there any crops in the field? ? In such a cold season, and lack of water and fertilizer, nothing can be grown!"

Zhang obviously hardened his heart and didn't buy it at all. He said, "You mean that only the emperor can eat the above-mentioned dishes in the whole world?! Your suburban counties don't have these fresh vegetables? What about other places? !"

The old shopkeeper said: "The guest officer is just joking, this guest officer... I am afraid you are the son of a rich family? You must have never done farm work, let alone go to the farmland?! You don't know anything about spring plowing and autumn harvesting at all." ! Right now, I can assure you, you won't be able to find fresh vegetables anywhere you go."

There was also discussion among the onlookers who came to eat at Linglong Restaurant. Everyone agreed with the shopkeeper's common sense, and they all sighed in their hearts that Zhang was obviously an ignorant young man who came to seek trouble out of temper and arrogance, so they all helped Talking to the shopkeeper.

"That's right! In this season, which restaurants don't serve dishes like beef and mutton?"

"This person probably has a brain problem, right?!"

"Obviously finding fault?! Aren't the fresh vegetables eaten by princes and nobles?"

Zhang obviously didn't care at all, and he just wanted to cause such a discussion effect. He looked at the entrance of the restaurant, and under the knocking and shouting of his subordinates, the people on the street also gathered around to watch the excitement .

Then he slowly said to the shopkeeper: "Oh——according to your wishes, the shopkeeper, if I can find fresh vegetables, what will your restaurant do?"

When Zhang Mingming said this, the shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but he replied affirmatively after a while: "Can you bring out fresh vegetables?! Impossible! Don't come out with this summer's vegetables!"

After finishing speaking, the crowd erupted into roars of laughter. Zhang Mingming still stood calmly with his arms around his shoulders, standing there defiantly, and just said, "Oh—do you dare to bet the shopkeeper? If you lose, promise me a condition... "

The shopkeeper was a little hesitant at first, but seeing the crowd laughing at Zhang Mingming, he gained some confidence. Surely this kid can really find fault with fresh vegetables, right?What's wrong with agreeing to him?
So he resolutely said: "Okay! Boy! Now go to the market in the city or look for it in the farmland. If you can find fresh vegetables, I will promise you one thing as the shopkeeper of Linglong Restaurant!"

The shopkeeper instinctively thought that Zhang Mingming didn’t understand the 24 solar terms and the laws of farming, so he wanted to make a bet with himself. Waiting for him to search all over the city and even the fields on the outskirts of the city, he would know that he was completely wrong. Wrong, I will naturally come over to apologize to Linglong Restaurant at that time.

What Zhang Mingming was waiting for was this sentence. A determined smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he slowly said to the shopkeeper, the passers-by and eating crowd watching the excitement, "You don't need to look there, I'll give it to the shopkeeper now, Have a look with Linglong Restaurant for fresh vegetables that you don't have."
