Chapter 446: Honeysuckle Blossoms
After reading the menu, Zhang Fan and Chen Baoli ordered six more farm dishes, including duck and bamboo shoot soup, tomato and fish fillet, fried red cabbage moss with bacon, and fried vegetarian bracken.
"Okay, let's drink tea first, and let the kitchen work for you immediately. ”
After Lin Dashan's wife wrote the menu, a flat-headed young man came over, carrying a pot of hot tea and a red plastic basin in his hand, and placed them on the table, it can be seen from his appearance that this young man should be the boss's son.
"Boss, order food here!"
"Boss, give me two more menus to see!"
"Boss, a signature dish, a fish head tofu soup, a garlic stir-fried mustard greens, thank you!"
"Okay, wait a minute, let's come!" Lin Dashan's wife walked over with the menu and skillfully wrote down the names of the dishes ordered by the guests on the paper one by one.
"Guangzai, quickly call my brother and sister over to help greet the guests. Otherwise, you and I won't be busy during this dinner time. ”
"Mom, you resist first. I'll call someone right away. ”
Hearing this, the flat-headed young man immediately handed over the tea to his mother and trotted out to find someone.
There is no way, there are many people who come to Qingtian Village on weekends to travel, and there are also many people who come to Xiyangyang Farmhouse to eat. Therefore, she had to move out and share the burden of her own babies.
When there are many customers, they are very busy, like on weekends, the income is thousands of dollars a day, although it is still drizzle compared with the big vegetable growers in the village, but they don't have to work in the fields, and there are people who call the boss every day, which is also a very decent thing! The family feels that the road of opening a farmhouse is the right one.
Glancing around, Zhang Fan found that in less than half an hour, Xiyangyang Farmhouse was full of seats, and there were many guests who brought their own vegetables and asked Lin Dashan to help process them.
Soon, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl came over with a pot of fragrant truffle stewed chicken.
Without waiting for the other dishes to be served, Zhang Fan asked everyone to move their chopsticks, and each of them stretched out their chopsticks to the juicy truffle slices in front of them. Blow it first, take a bite, taste it, and then everyone praise in unison: "It's delicious! The boss's craftsmanship is amazing!"
"Come, braised rabbit pot, be careful of scalding!" Lin Dashan's mother-in-law brought out a pot of rabbit meat.
She was very happy to hear such praise from the guests, and realized that it was superfluous for her husband to worry that the truffles he made for the first time would not suit the customers' tastes.
Subsequently, other dishes were also served one after another, Chen Baoli, Wang Feihong, and Ding Sile were too lazy to take care of their image, and they all devoured them like hungry ghosts reincarnated.
After eating, Zhang Fan asked Chen Baoli, Wang Feihong, and Zheng Zhishan to help send his little sister Zhang Xin and three godsisters back to Zhangjiazhai because he wanted to send his girlfriend Zhao Yuqing home.
……
The next day, Zhang Fan heard Wang Feihong say that the tree-shaped honeysuckle in Tengyun Village had bloomed a lot, so he took Zhao Yuqing to see the honeysuckle.
As soon as he entered Tengyun Village, Zhang Fan received cordial greetings from many villagers, all kinds of concern, and even Zhao Yuqing felt a little flattered.
Wang Feihong, who came to meet Zhang Fan, was quite depressed when he saw this kind of scene, he was also a funder of the poverty alleviation plan in Tengyun Village, how could this guy be more popular than him in Tengyun Village?
"Brother, do you know that the tree-shaped honeysuckle planted in other places generally doesn't bloom until April, but guess what in Tengyun Village? Wang Feihong said happily, and then took the two to the planting field where the first flowers bloomed.
When they came to the planting place that Wang Feihong said, Zhang Fan and Zhao Yuqing really saw the yellow and white honeysuckle hanging on the branches, and they exclaimed: "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
"There are 400 tree-shaped honeysuckles in one acre of land here, and 2,000 trees in five acres, and in the future, the whole village will be, doesn't it look shocking?" Wang Feihong pointed to a large patch of honeysuckle in front of him and said proudly.
"It's like being in a sea of honeysuckle. Senior brother, look at this slender white stamen, like a silver needle cutting through a thin calyx and jumping out of the bud. The silver-white petals are all slightly rolled back, setting off the long stamens so enchantingly!"
Zhao Yuqing, who approached to watch the honeysuckle, said to Zhang Fan excitedly while taking pictures with her mobile phone.
"Haha, flower beauties are more beautiful!" Zhang Fan smiled, quietly turned on the mobile phone camera, and captured a few beautiful photos of his girlfriend.
"You see, these honeysuckles, pure white, golden, two opposite, in pairs, delicate and charming, delicate and elegant, white and beautiful, yellow noble, look down and smell a trace of fragrance floating out faintly along the calyx, it is really refreshing!" Wang Feihong showed off his literary talent.
At this time, Zhang Fan found that Wang Feihong was more literary than usual, "I didn't expect you, a medicinal herb merchant, to be so talented!"
"Hey, I just found out? It's a pity that the entire Tengyun Village is building houses now, otherwise the tourism company can take tourists to see the honeysuckle later." Wang Feihong said.
Regarding Wang Feihong's thoughts, Zhang Fan also agreed, "Indeed, Tengyun Village has planted so many honeysuckles, and when all of them are in full bloom, it is estimated that there will be a lot of fun for a honeysuckle festival." However, it is the reception trouble. ”
After watching the honeysuckle and returning to the end of Tengyun Village, Zhang Fan and his family passed by a family and saw them holding a "groundbreaking" sacrifice ceremony in the house, so they stopped to watch.
I saw a door and window frame with "Anmen Daji" red paper standing on the floor of the house, and there were chickens, pork, red paper and other tributes on the offering table in front of it, and the incense on the incense burner was curling in the smoke.
In rural areas, before building a house, a feng shui man would choose a good day and auspicious time, and hold a "groundbreaking" ritual to indicate to the gods that the house would be built and pray for the blessing of the gods.
When the foundation is opened, the owner also has to ask someone to make the door and window frames, which are regarded as the house frames. Hit the door frame of the foundation, and some will also paste couplets on the door frame, such as "Taigong has passed from now on, and today Anmenji"; Anmen meets the ecliptic, and the household meets the auspicious time" and so on.
It can be seen that Jiang Taigong is still very popular in the hearts of rural people. At the same time, there is also a large head portrait of Mao leader placed directly behind the house, so that the cow, ghost, snake and god can see the image and avoid it, and ensure the safety and smoothness of the owner.
"When the auspicious time comes, burn firecrackers and break ground!" said a feng shui guy with a finger count.
Immediately after, the man unpacked the package and lit a bundle of red cannonballs.
"Brother, how do you say he knows it's auspicious?" asked Wang Feihong.
"Well, I don't know. I guess they have their own algorithm. Zhang Fan also thinks this is amazing.
After the ceremony, the man brought the candy and distributed it to everyone, and everyone had a share.
"Boss Zhang, Boss Wang?" When they were assigned to Zhang Fan and Wang Feihong, the male owner was very surprised, but he didn't expect that the noble person who changed his fate was actually in front of him.
Because of Zhang Fan, Tengyun Village got acquainted with Wang Feihong's big boss and became the planting base of tree-shaped honeysuckle and cordyceps, so he had the opportunity to use his family's fields and mountains to plant tree-shaped honeysuckle, which was as much as five acres of land, and it was the earliest flowering in the village.
Boss Wang saw the honeysuckle he planted and told him that it was in good condition, and it was expected to sell for forty yuan a pound when it was dried. Now I can build a house, or thanks to the poverty alleviation plan. Otherwise, according to his past income, he would not be able to build a rough house for five more years without eating or spending.
"It's a lively day!" Wang Feihong said with a smile.
"I can't say hello, please forgive me. How about staying for dinner?" the man invited excitedly.
