Chapter 44: Eat as much as you can
Unconsciously, the movement outside became louder, many people came back to cook, the corridor was full of the smell of meat, and everyone who came over invariably took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Lao Li, what is so fragrant to eat at home today!"
"Add vinegar to the bone broth boiled for the child, it can grow! Remember to add vinegar, you can't use an aluminum pot, it hurts your brain!" Li Jianguo went out and talked to a few neighbors, adding a little more water by the way.
"Yiming, eat noodles at night!" Li Jianguo shouted.
Li Yiming walked out and nodded.
Li Jianguo put the clay pot aside, added half a pot of water to the aluminum pot and boiled it, and after a while, the noodles were poured directly with broth and eaten.
Li Jianguo took out a cigarette and lit it, leaned against the railing and looked out, and several children were running and playing in the yard below.
"Bone broth with vinegar, what else should I pay attention to? Things that affect my growth?" asked Li Jianguo.
Li Yiming thought for a while: "Stable development doesn't make waves, it seems to say that you can't fall in love too early." ”
Li Jianguo choked on this sentence and coughed, and the smoke flew out more than half a foot away.
Seeing that the cigarette was about to fall downstairs, it was suddenly pinched by a hand in mid-air.
Li Yiming himself was also a little stunned, he didn't know how to stretch out his hand just now, and he didn't know why he pinched the cigarette between his fingers so quickly.
"Dad. Li Yiming handed the cigarette to his father.
Li Jianguo took it and looked at it in front of him, the cigarette was very soft, and now the cigarette in his hand didn't seem to be pinched and deformed.
Why did his son react so quickly, Li Jianguo looked at Li Yiming, and seemed to be a little strange.
"Didn't you tell me to smoke less?"
"Uh......" Li Yiming looked downstairs, "what I was thinking about just now was not to litter cigarette butts." ”
Li Jianguo was speechless and stuffed the cigarette into his mouth.
"But now this cigarette is okay, the kind with a filter is more difficult to degrade. Li Yiming explained.
Seeing the dried bamboo shoots in the jar, Li Yiming suddenly thought of something: "Dad, don't we have a lot of bamboo in our county?"
Li Jianguo nodded: "Many, all over the mountain, otherwise why don't so many bamboo shoots come out every year!"
"Does anyone from your supply and marketing cooperatives come to sell bamboo products?"
"Yes, bamboo plaques, bamboo mats, bamboo flat baskets, etc... What do you think?" asked Li Jianguo.
"Things should be relatively simple now!" Li Yiming thought for a while, "You can make a lot of things from bamboo, hundreds or thousands of kinds, and you can also make the shape beautiful, it should be a good business." ”
"You mean you want me to do this business? Then I have to be self-employed..."Li Jianguo smiled faintly and spat out the smoke ring, "Let's talk about it specifically." ”
Li Yiming shook his head: "Let others do it, it is a partnership, we will contribute some capital, come up with ideas, help develop the market, and let others do the specific operation." You still have to follow me to Xiangjiang! When the time comes, these things can be exported to earn foreign exchange!"
Li Jianguo thought for a while and nodded: "Then I have to find the right person, I have to think about it." ”
didn't say anything about money, his salary hasn't moved much over the years, and he has saved a little, and his son wants to do things, and he won't be reluctant.
Li Yiming motioned to the children below: "Although I don't know what those beautiful bamboo utensils look like, there are some descriptions I remember, I also know what they can do, like children's toys, you can make swords, bamboo dragonflies, bamboo windmills, bamboo platters, bamboo snakes, bamboo wind chimes, the kind that hangs outside the window... There are also bamboo wardrobes, bamboo shelves, shelves where you can put bowls, and many other things. ”
"No picture..."Li Jianguo's brows furrowed.
Li Yiming smiled: "No pictures, you can draw, as long as you have imagination, Dad, do you know? In the future, there will be a profession called Xiaobian, they can make up a lot of stories by looking at pictures, in fact, we can also watch stories and draw pictures." ”
"Is it difficult?" asked Li Jianguo, taking off his cigarette.
Li Yiming said softly: "But I don't think this matter is very difficult, as long as you know the direction, you can study it, I am afraid that there is no idea this year, as long as there is, how can there be no sale! The key is that the product design should be fashionable and practical." ”
Li Jianguo sighed and said, "Listening to you say these new words is much more tiring than copying things!"
"Dad, the water is boiling. ”
Li Yiming went back to the house, opened a large vat, took out half a tube of dried noodles from it, and handed it to Li Jianguo to put into the pot.
"If there were specialized machines, it would be much more efficient. Li Yiming suddenly said.
"Machine!" Li Jianguo thought for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know where it is!"
"Maybe it's similar to processing wood!" Li Yiming also hesitated.
"The water is boiling!" Li Jianguo didn't speak again, stirring in the pot with chopsticks.
Li Yiming went to get two large sea bowls.
Remove the noodles through a bamboo sieve and put them in a bowl, sprinkle with salt and chopped green onions, and then scoop the bone broth and pour it over the noodles.
"Dad, you have to make up for it too, because calcium is also lost at any time. Li Yiming saw that his father scooped a little casually for him, and hurriedly said.
Li Jianguo nodded and added half a bowl to himself.
He directly took the most meaty bones and put them into Li Yiming's bowl: "You can eat as much as you want!"
"Hmm. ”
Li Yiming took a sip of soup first, it was so fresh!
Even the few pieces of dried bamboo shoots that were put in before have been completely boiled and now completely expanded.
Li Jianguo picked up a slice, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.
He didn't eat fast, and his mind kept turning around the words that his son had said, which was too informative and a little indigestible.
When he unconsciously said "eat as much as you want" just now, he suddenly became a little worried, his son wanted to do too much.
"Actually, you were right in one thought, and now that I think about it, you really should. Li Jianguo said vaguely.
Li Yiming looked up in amazement, his mouth bulging and biting a piece of meat.
"But many things are not so simple to do, people can't trust you, it's normal, you're still young, even if you're an adult, like me, no one will take it seriously even if you write a letter. ”
Li Yiming chewed the meat slowly and did not speak.
"You didn't discuss it with me, it's not good. Li Jianguo said again, "Dad won't hurt you." ”
"I know,..." Li Yiming lowered his head, "You are on a business trip, and now you are very slow to send letters, send it one day earlier, and receive ......it one day earlier."
"Needless to say, you have a good way of writing fairy tales now. ”
"But to be able to publish. ”
"Dad can find a relationship. Li Jianguo comforted his son, "There is no relationship that you can't find in these years, as long as you are willing to find it." ”
"I'm also worried that the manuscript will be changed, and the content will ......," Li Yiming said with some concern.
Li Jianguo paused for a moment, and thought about it, as if this matter would not be solved by relying on relationships.
The two were silent for a long time, and Li Jianguo suddenly spoke: "Don't think about it, leave it to me, there is always a way!"
People came and went in the corridors, and the children ran downstairs to play after eating, and the laughter and laughter kept coming.
