Chapter 173 Xiangyangtun's Investigation
"But......" Fontaine didn't know what to say, and when her mother said this, she was a little bottomless in her heart, and fifty yuan a pound of vegetables was indeed a bit unbelievable.
Liu Qian said earnestly: "Xiao Dan, you can't be blinded by your judgment because of your relationship with Wu Yongqiang, you can't just make the decision to stay." ”
Fontaine groaned, she also knew that her mother was thinking about her and didn't want her to make a decision easily. However, she doesn't think that this place is useless, and she has to stay for a while longer, and feel carefully whether this Xiangyangtun is suitable for her.
The two chatted there for a while, and the smell of the food came from the kitchen, and when they smelled this fragrance, the worms in the stomachs of the mother and daughter couldn't help but be hooked.
Soon Wu Yongqiang walked into the living room with a plate and placed it on the table.
"Wow, it smells so good. Fontaine looked at the ordinary plate of fried cucumbers in front of him and couldn't help but shout.
"Eat, you're going to be hungry after a long morning's ride. Wu Yongqiang looked at Fang Dan's expression and couldn't help laughing.
"Let's wait a little longer, and then eat together when Chai Jun finishes frying. Fontaine suppressed the feeling of hunger and said obediently. After all, this is someone who entertains himself and cooks himself, so this bit of etiquette still has to be had.
Not long after, the dishes were already served, and only a pot of soft-shelled turtle soup was still boiling. There are four small dishes on the table, the aroma is permeated, and the dishes are fried very exquisitely, the diesel is originally good, coupled with the fresh ingredients of Xiangyangtun, the fried dishes are full of flavor and fragrance, and it looks very appetizing.
Fontaine, who was already tired of traveling, had an empty stomach at this time, and after a few polite words, he used chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and ate them.
"It's so delicious! I didn't expect such a common green vegetable to be stir-fried with such a delicious taste!" Fang Dan had a satisfied expression on his face, "Chai Jun, your stir-fry skills are really good." ”
Liu Qian next to her also sandwiched a pair of chopsticks, and after the entrance of the dish, her face couldn't help but be surprised, she didn't expect that this kid's cooking skills were quite good, and this level of cuisine might be comparable to a five-star chef, and she also praised it: "It's really delicious, you have practiced cooking before." ”
Chai Jun smiled and said modestly: "No, my craftsmanship is not ordinary, mainly because the vegetables produced in our Xiangyangtun are good, so I can fry this taste, if you are any person, the taste of the fried is similar to mine." ”
"The merit of the vegetables?" Fontaine's eyes widened, "that's what you call fifty dollars a pound of vegetables." ”
Chai Jun nodded, Fontaine didn't stop the chopsticks in his hand, and said while picking up the vegetables: "Then it seems that the vegetables can be sold for fifty yuan." ”
Before, she was still wondering if Chai Jun was bragging that those dishes could be sold for fifty yuan a catty, but now that she tasted the taste of these dishes, she began to believe it.
Liu Qian couldn't help but look strange: "What you said is true? Just rely on your so-called Xiangyangtun brand dishes, you can fry this level of cuisine? In this case, wouldn't just a casual person be able to become a restaurant chef? Those people in restaurants can't compete to rush to you to buy ingredients?"
Chai Jun said with a smile: "I really let you say it right, our products in Xiangyangtun are well-known in the entire catering industry in Yingtan City, and many restaurants have come to us to talk about the purchase, but unfortunately the planting scale is not very large, and it can only be supplied in limited quantities." ”
Fontaine couldn't help but be happy: "Then we haven't picked up a big bargain today, and we can eat a limited supply of dishes." ”
"Haha, it's not that 'it's fun to have friends from afar', you come to Xiangyangtun as a guest, of course I have to enter the friendship of the landlord to entertain you. Chai Jun replied humorously.
Fang Dan was also amused by his words, although Liu Qian next to him was also suspicious, but he had to admit that this dish was indeed delicious.
Everyone ate for a while, and the atmosphere at the dinner table was not bad, Liu Qian's face looked much better because of these delicious dishes, and she talked more.
And the main thing is that Chai Jun and Wu Yongqiang are both relatively kind, there is no arrogance of young people at all, but a modest and enthusiastic look, Liu Qian has also changed a lot.
Liu Qian chattered about the chopsticks dish, stopped the movement in her hand before she could eat it, frowned and sniffed, there seemed to be a wonderful fragrance in the air, and then asked curiously: "What is this taste? Why is it so fragrant? It is different from the fragrance of stir-fried vegetables." ”
Chai Jun grinned: "Auntie, your insight is really keen, I also stewed a pot of 'baby' in the kitchen, and now it's almost cooked, I'll go and present it to you." ”
After Chai Jun finished speaking, he went to the kitchen, and after cleaning up, he walked out with a pot of soft-shelled turtle soup.
As soon as the soft-shelled turtle soup is placed on the table, the strong but not greasy aroma wafts into everyone's nose, stimulating the senses and making people have a great appetite.
"What is this?" asked Fontaine curiously.
"This is one of the most expensive of our Xiangyangtun products, soft-shelled turtle, used to make soup is not only delicious and fresh, but also has high nutritional value, as early as a few days ago by the major restaurants in Yingtan City, just waiting for the two days to catch it and send it to their restaurant. Chai Jun introduced as he filled a bowl to a few people.
"Soft-shelled turtle soup, I haven't drunk much before. Fontaine looked at the bowl of soup with a blank eye, eager to taste it.
"Dandan, don't worry, it's too hot, cool it a little and then make peace. Wu Yongqiang next to him couldn't help reminding.
"Got it. Fontaine stuck out his tongue at him, looking playful and cute.
"You say this is the most expensive product, how much is it?" Liu Qian was more concerned about these questions and asked.
Chai Jun replied: "I give us those familiar restaurants all preferential prices, three hundred yuan a catty." ”
"What?!"
After Chai Jun's understatement was finished, Fang Dan and Liu Qian on the side were stunned, staring at the pot of soup in front of them.
It's really unheard of for an ingredient at this price. Liu Qian has also seen it on some TV shows before, some fish and crabs that are famous abroad, and some wild meats that are very famous in China, can be sold at this price, but this is in such an ordinary small mountain village, and the things produced can also be sold at this price?
Fang Dan calculated a little in his heart, and then exclaimed: "Then isn't this pot of soft-shelled turtle soup more than a thousand yuan?"
More than 1,000 yuan of soup in a pot, I'm afraid this is the dish in the Manchu and Han banquets, right?
After Liu Qian's initial shock, she was puzzled again: "Is anyone buying such an expensive thing?"
It's no wonder that she doesn't believe it, but with her previous life experience, she has never been exposed to this level of ingredients.
Wu Yongqiang looked at the reactions of the two and couldn't help laughing: "The reaction of the two of you is exactly the same as when I first heard Brother Jun's offer." At first, we also thought that the price was a bit too expensive, and we were afraid that the market would not be opened, but later after this soft-shelled turtle was listed, the sales of major restaurants and supermarkets responded very well, and then it directly became the hottest product. ”
"Okay, it's almost cooled down, let's try it. Chai Jun took the lead and scooped a sip of soup with a spoon and drank it.
Although this is a product produced by himself, it also has a growth cycle, and he doesn't have the habit of enjoying this delicious taste all day long, so he didn't drink much in the past, so he just took this opportunity to enjoy it.
After Chai Jun finished speaking, everyone didn't say much, but focused on the soft-shelled turtle soup and tasted it one after another.
"It's delicious!" Fontaine's face was full of happiness, she really couldn't think of any adjectives to use to describe this delicious feeling, she could only sigh a little at a loss of words.
"It tastes really good. Liu Qian also sighed from the bottom of her heart. She had also drunk soft-shelled turtle soup before, and the price was not cheap, but compared to the taste of the soup in front of her, it was really not comparable, and even she felt that the soup she drank this time was better than any soup she had drunk before.
A few people also talked less, but quietly tasted the dishes and soups, immersed in this delicacy.
After a while, the things on the table were eaten cleanly, and even the pot of soft-shelled turtle soup was bottomed out.
Liu Qian put down her chopsticks and couldn't help but burp, and then reacted, which was a bit unsightly and a little embarrassing, and hurriedly changed the topic: "I have to say, this lunch is really a good experience." ”
It felt like it was much better than a lunch in a five-star hotel. And the key is that there is no big fish and meat, just a simple stir-fry with soft-shelled turtle soup can achieve this effect.
"I'm full. Fang Dan also put down his chopsticks with satisfaction, "Yongqiang and Chai Jun, thank you for your hospitality this time." ”
"Where, you are Yongqiang's girlfriend, that is your own person, and you will see the outside world when you say this. Chai Jun said with a smile.
Seeing these two people eating so comfortably, he was also quite satisfied in his heart, and his things in Xiangyangtun could be recognized by others, which was his greatest happiness.
After chatting there for a while, Chai Jun took the mother and daughter to the house that had been prepared a long time ago, and put down their backpacks.
After eating, everyone rested for a while at noon, and Wu Yongqiang found Fang Dan's mother and daughter again.
This time, Chai Jun directly gave him a 'holiday', and he didn't have to go to work today, but accompanied the mother and daughter with peace of mind.
"Alas, what about Chai Jun?" Fang Dan couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Wu Yongqiang coming alone.
"Brother Jun, he went to the reservoir, this afternoon to catch soft-shelled turtles, and someone from the restaurant in Yingtan City will collect it. Wu Yongqiang said.
"Oh. Fang Dan nodded, she also understood, Chai Jun was also the boss of the company, and he didn't have so much spare time to play with a few of them, so it would be good to let Wu Yongqiang come.
When Liu Qian next to her heard this, she couldn't help but say, "Collect the soft-shelled turtle?"
"Yes, if you want to go, I'll take you there. Wu Yongqiang hurriedly replied.
This aunt, she didn't want to take her there this morning, but in the afternoon she was interested and took the initiative to ask to go and see.
However, Wu Yongqiang was also quite happy in his heart, because after lunch, his aunt's attitude towards herself and Xiangyangtun seemed to have changed a little, and she no longer rejected her, but took the initiative to learn more about it, which was a good sign.
Wu Yongqiang couldn't help but think of the old saying, 'If you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab a man's stomach.' Now it seems that the reverse applies to this statement, and this meal captured the hearts of the mother and daughter...
The three of them walked towards the reservoir together, walking along the road through the terraced fields and vegetable gardens, Liu Qian put her mind right at this time, and then looked at these environments, she couldn't help but sigh a little, the scenery of this village is really good.
