170 liters of wine
"Boss Guo, wait a minute. After the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, Lao Ni grabbed Guo Wei for the first time.
"What's the matter?" you say. ”
"That, didn't you have a lot of contact with Boss Zhou before, did you think he could find a new source of goods later?"
"Old Ni, I see that when you just had a meeting, didn't you believe Boss Zhou?"
"One yard to one yard, the main thing is that I want to hear your opinion. Guo Wei understands that in fact, Lao Ni is also gambling, betting that Zhou Kun can find a source comparable to flower-flavored grapefruit.
"As far as I know, the grapes and red dates from Boss Zhou were all of the same quality as black jade watermelons, but they weren't sold much, so they weren't well known. As for the pomegranate matter, Guo Wei didn't say a word.
"Then you said let's go and discuss with Boss Zhou, how about wrapping up this red date?" As soon as Lao Ni heard that Zhou Kun still had red dates, he immediately became energetic, after all, if you can't get the floral grapefruit, and you can't catch up with this batch of crisp persimmons, it is also a better choice to catch up with a little red dates to save the decline.
"You don't have to think about this red date, basically it was contracted by a group of old ladies on Boss Zhou's side as soon as it came out. ”
"A group of old ladies can only make a few bucks, so it's better to toss and turn for us, and we can sell it several times as much. ”
"It's useless if you think about it, the key is to ask Boss Zhou to nod and agree to sell it to you, after all, not everyone can take the goods he has there, we didn't rely on the name of the Chamber of Commerce to take Boss Zhou's floral grapefruit and black jade watermelon, I think this old Jia They are asking for their own hardships, and when the time comes, they will annoy Qian Lina, do you think that careful woman can let them both go?"
"So you said we should talk to Qian Lina and Boss Zhou about this matter?"
"Okay, if you want me to say, you can call now. ”
"Do you really want to fight?" In fact, Lao Ni said that these were also impulsive, but he didn't expect Guo Wei to really ask him to contact Qian Lina and Zhou Kun, after all, he was a member of the Chamber of Commerce, and it would not be good if Jia Fei and them knew about it afterwards.
How could Guo Wei not understand Lao Ni's thoughts, so he persuaded: "Why don't you fight?" Lao Jia, they are already not benevolent and righteous first, if we don't have to deal with it, I'm afraid that the Chamber of Commerce will fall out with Kunyang because of this, and it will not be good for everyone at that time, it is better to sing one with a white face and the other with a red face, isn't it good for us to be good people? Even if Jia Fei and they know, it doesn't matter, maybe when Boss Zhou's goods arrive, the two of them will have to rely on the two of us to help them say good things in order to save a little situation. ”
Although Lao Ni hesitated slightly, he finally listened to Guo Wei's words and dialed Zhou Kun's phone.
"Boss Zhou, you see that this floral grapefruit is almost sold, but recently this lemon doesn't seem to be selling very well, Jia Fei and they are going to contact a batch of crisp persimmons from the local country, do you see if there are any new fruits on the market over there, you can take a walk from the channel of our Chamber of Commerce?"
Lao Ni's words were very polite, but he also indirectly told Zhou Kun that at present, Jia Fei and the crisp persimmons they chose from their own country, if Kunyang can't come up with powerful fruits, it will be difficult for the Chamber of Commerce to explain here.
Zhou Kun also understood that the Chamber of Commerce had made a lot of efforts in selling floral grapefruit and black jade, so he was ready to tell Lao Ni about the matter of topaz lemon.
"Boss Ni, there is no clue about the new round of fruits for the time being, but the things on this lemon have taken a turn for the better, didn't you take a lot of lemons from me last time? If you believe me, you will press this batch of lemons in your hands for a period of time, and the price will go up in about 20 days at most. ”
Lao Ni originally just wanted to inquire about the next season's fruits from Zhou Kun, but he didn't expect to get the news about Topaz.
After hanging up the phone, Guo Wei said with concern on the side: "How is it?
"I didn't mention the fruit next season, but Boss Zhou told me to let me hold this batch of lemons in my hands for a while. ”
"Did he tell you why?"
"He didn't say this, Boss Guo, what do you say we should do now?"
"Since Boss Zhou has already released the news, then we will naturally listen to him, after all, even if this lemon is sold now, it will not make a few dollars, and it is a big deal to press it for another 20 days, counting the storage fee or something, a lemon can cost at most seven or eight cents, we can still bear this risk, since we choose to believe in Boss Zhou, then we will go all the way with him to the end. Guo Wei was much more decisive in this regard, and Lao Ni looked at him with some surprise, not knowing what to do.
On Ji Jiayan's side, after recommending Zhou Kun's lemon juice, Hu Di soon came to Tongcheng.
After finding a local agency to ship back a batch of lemons, Woody was originally going to leave Tongcheng and return to the United States.
But at this moment, he was invited by Ji Jiayan.
"Hu Di, why do you want me to do my best when you come to Tongcheng, come to my house for two meals, and then leave in two days, after all, the teacher is not so anxious, it is estimated that you will take a plane in a week, just in time to return to the United States with that batch of lemons." ”
So Woody came to Jinlan Mingju, and the old ladies saw a foreigner waiting at the door after class, and they felt very surprised.
Soon, Ji Jiayan came out of the cooking classroom and saw his classmate at a glance.
"Woody – here. ”
"De Leon, it's been a long time. ”
The two hugged each other warmly, and the old ladies knew that they were Ji Jiayan's friends.
"Huang Fang, I just saw your grandson with a foreigner at the door of the cooking class, as if this foreigner is still your grandson's classmate abroad. ”
"What? There is such a thing?" When I heard that my grandson's classmates abroad actually came to Jinlan Mingju, and Ji Jiayan, this kid, didn't tell him, it is rare for foreign classmates to come to the house, how can you not show the enthusiasm of our people?
"Hey, where are you?"
"Grandma, a friend of mine came to see me from abroad, and I'm staying with him. ”
"When a friend from abroad comes, you don't bring anyone back for dinner, bring your classmate to your home, and grandma prepares a Chinese meal for him. ”
"Okay, but grandma, they foreigners don't eat those river fish and shrimp or anything, you can get them some simple ribs, stewed meat, and other things with fewer bones. ”
When she heard that this foreigner had so many taboos, Huang Fang was worried, but then she thought about it, aren't these two people at the door of the Jinlan Mingju activity room, if there is anything to ask him herself?
So, Huang Fang rushed to the door of the baking classroom, and sure enough, he saw his grandson standing with a blonde foreigner.
"Jia Yan, this is your classmate, right?"
"Grandma, why are you here?"
"It's rare for your classmates to come, grandma wants to greet people well, but you always have to ask people if they have any taboos, come and translate for me, and ask him if he has anything he wants to eat or can't eat?"
"Woody, my grandma wants to invite you to my house for dinner today, and she wants to come and ask you if you have anything you like to eat or can't eat. ”
"Sweet and sour pork ribs, mapo tofu, I still want to eat Sixi meatballs. ”
The dishes Hu Di said were all some of the dishes that Ji Jiayan made by himself when he was studying abroad, although they were not particularly authentic, but they also made Hu Di very happy.
The dishes that Hu Di said were all said in half-hung Chinese, and Huang Fang actually understood unexpectedly.
"There's nothing wrong with sweet and sour pork ribs and mapo tofu, but these Sixi meatballs may not be too late to make today, otherwise I'll stew you an elbow, what do you think?"
"Zhouzi?" Invincible repeated, not understanding what the old lady was talking about.
"It's pig's trotters. Ji Jiayan translated on the side.
Suddenly, he saw Woody's eyes light up and he nodded frantically.
The old lady was amused when she saw it, hey, it seems that this kid has really eaten a few Chinese dishes.
"Looks like you like Chinese food?"
"Chinese food, delicious!" Woody patted his ass on the back.
Ji Jiayan suddenly found that these two people were dancing, even if they didn't have themselves, there was no problem for the two of them to communicate.
In the living room, Ji Jiayan and Hu Di were discussing some questions about the pastry on the sofa, when Huang Fang suddenly came over with a honeydew melon in his hand and said, "Child, try this melon." ”
Originally, Woody was very excited to wait for today's noon Chinese dinner, waving his hand to show that he was not hungry.
But at this time, Ji Jiayan nodded desperately to him, and Hu Di thought to himself, maybe the Chinese hospitality complex was in it, and he should abide by the rules here when he came from afar, so he said in awkward Chinese: "Thank you." ”
After the busy Huang Fang returned to the kitchen, Hu Di put the melon aside, but Ji Jiayan seemed to have seen something good, and couldn't help but eat two pieces before saying to Hu Di: "Eat, this melon is not easy, ordinary people come to my grandmother will not give it to him at all." ”
"What's so delicious about honeydew melons? When I was making a melon dessert with my teacher before, I ate honeydew melons for a week, and now I have a headache when I see this thing. ”
"I'm telling you, if you don't eat it, you'll regret it later. ”
"What melon we haven't tasted with the teacher, can this thing compare to the exquisite melon?" Although Woody's mouth was hard, his hand was still very honest and stretched out to the melon on the plate.
The next second, Woody just wanted to pump his mouth, why was this melon completely different from what he had eaten before?
"De Leon, where did your grandmother's melon come from? If I could have used this melon from the beginning when I was baking before, why should I have to follow the teacher for a week or two? ”
"It's not that I don't want to, this melon is currently only eaten by my grandmother, a fruit merchant he knows, that is, the young man you bought lemons from him before, and only he has this melon, but the yield is very small. ”
"Then forget it, if you are used to using such a honeydew melon, it is estimated that it will be difficult to find a mature replacement after the teacher's picky character, and then we will still have to run on both sides of the Tongcheng rice country, which is too much of a toss. The teacher in the country didn't know that because of Woody's lazy personality, he missed out on another high-quality fruit.
The two didn't talk for too long, and Huang Fang's table of dishes was ready.
"Today, it is rare for a strict friend to come from all the way from the United States, let's open the bottle bar, the first batch of grape wine from Xiao Zhou's side, the day should be almost over, you wait a minute, I will go to the cellar to get you a bottle of wine." ”
Hu Di was very surprised, he originally knew that the conditions in Ji Jiayan's house were good, but he didn't expect that their family actually had a cellar, of course, this was Hu Di's misunderstanding, the cellar in his impression was not the same thing as Mrs. Huang's cellar at all.
"Although my grandmother said that she would invite you to a drink, but this is only a home-made fruit wine, and it may not be the same as the wine you remember, so you must not show too much shock when you wait a minute, and if the old lady invites you to drink, you should drink it, and do not refuse her kindness. ”
Ji Jiayan took the vaccination with Hu Di in advance, and Hu Di said that he still understands this point of human feelings.
But when Huang Fang came back with a Sprite bottle in his hand, Woody's heart was still broken, can this thing really be called wine?
To say that Woody came today, the happiest thing is Ji Gaosheng, after all, since the last time the wine at home was covered by Xiao Zhou, he has never tasted the wine made at home, and this time he was able to drink two sips by himself with the light of Woody.
As Huang Fang opened the cap of the bottle, there was a faint gas spewing out of it, if it weren't for the wrong color inside, it really looked like she was opening a Sprite to drink.
Woody had no expectations for the wine in Huang Fang's mouth, and he was ready to pinch his nose and drink it.
As Huang Fang's own wine was poured into the glass, the room was soon filled with a rich grape aroma, mixed with a special fragrance, which was refreshing.
"Mom, this is wine made from Xiao Zhou's grapes, right? Ji Gaosheng sent a rainbow fart as soon as possible.
"This year's grapes in Xiao Zhou are really nothing to say, if there are still next year, I will buy more, see that the quality of this wine is really extraordinary, Xiaohu, hurry up and taste it." ”
As she spoke, Wang Fang handed the wine in her hand to Woody.
Looking at the wine in his hand, in fact, Woody refused in his heart, although this wine exudes a strong grape aroma, but looking at the cloudy liquid in the glass, as well as the plastic packaging just now, Woody is a little broken.
So he took a deep breath and drank the liquid from the glass.
Before he could react, a rich grape aroma mixed with a high degree of sweetness hit his taste buds, this thing was more like a sweet glass of grape juice, and it was not until he drank it that there was a hint of wine.
"How about Xiaohu, I make this wine well, right?"
"Delicious. Woody reached forward and motioned for another glass.
Huang Fang was quite generous to continue to fill up with Hu Di, but he didn't have this attitude towards the Ji family's father and son at all.
"You both save me some drink, although there is a lot of brew in the cellar, but there are two bottles that you can't move, this is me-"
"I know, this is what you want to give to Xiao Zhou!" said the father and son in unison.
