Chapter 279: Visit the Farm
The evidence is more important, and it is directly handed over to Secretary Zhu in the city, and he will handle this matter, Li Qingyun is more relieved. He honestly guarded his family at home, Yang Yunu knew about it, and he also stayed at home, which was quite a husband and wife.
Secretary Zhu got the evidence, found an acquaintance in the political and legal system, and quickly called back, saying that this matter reassured Li Qingyun, and basically proved that Mr. Li was not guilty, and the deputy captain of the criminal police who handled the case may have a problem and is investigating him.
Hearing the news, Li Qingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief, and told the good news to the family, everyone was very excited, just waiting for the old man to return safely.
At the same time, Chen Xiuzhi was not idle, she stood at the intersection and told every villager who passed by the true situation of the case, hoping to restore her father-in-law's reputation as a miracle doctor.
Li Qingyun smiled and didn't stop it, he made a fuss, it doesn't matter what the real situation is, a basin of dirty water is always poured on his grandfather's head, don't think about restoring his reputation in a short time, and patients in other places won't believe it.
It's okay in this way, because of his own reasons, let grandpa fall into endless busyness, and now that there are fewer patients, he can cultivate with peace of mind, or recuperate for a long time.
At noon, foodie Fred arrives at the farm to visit the greenhouses in the snow, which doesn't seem to be too full of conditions. I have some interest in the free-range green laying hens on the top of the mountain.
Even so, I took a lot of photos, and said that when I went back to write articles, I would use example pictures. Victor, a fellow French gourmet, still had a stiff face, sneering resentfully at Li Qingyun from time to time.
No way, I beat him up last time. No one helped him out, and the police actually said that there was no evidence and they didn't care. Although the hotel paid part of the medical expenses, Li Qingyun was also willing to pay part of it, but he was not short of money, what he lacked was face, and what he lacked was the breath in his chest.
While they were visiting, Xu Jingshou, the farmer next door, actually came over again, speaking broken English, to sell their vegetables to these foreigners.
This isn't the first time he's crossed the line. Li Qingyun glanced at him coldly. There was no anger. Because Li Qingyun's vegetables are no longer marketable, the people of the Oriental Agricultural Trade Company just pulled nearly 10,000 catties of vegetables from them yesterday, with a reserve price of 10 catties. It arrived that night. As for dividing into parts. It's going to take a while.
"Dear Mr. Fred, the vegetables on our farm don't taste bad at all, the same mountains and the same water. How can you grow the same vegetables and taste different? Hehe, I saw you at the last farmers' fair, but you were too busy to pay attention to our showcase. Oh, that's right, I know you're the editor-in-chief of Gourmet's magazine, not a vegetable merchant, but that doesn't prevent me from inviting you to taste the vegetables......" Xu Jingshou became more and more familiar with the English words he didn't know, and Qin Yao would prompt him by the side.
"No, no, no, I think you misunderstood, we came here today at the invitation of Mr. Li to taste the vegetables on their farm. If you insist on getting involved, it's not in line with our purpose. Well, when we have the chance, we'll go to your farm and taste it. Fred flatly refused, not liking the farmer who bothered him to take pictures of the tour.
Victor, who was watching coldly, suddenly said: "Gourmets Magazine has always sought truth from facts, if a reader asks why the vegetables in Qingyu Farm are so delicious, and what is the taste of the farm next to it, how do you answer? ”
"Yes, yes, we should be objective and fair, and give our Shouyao Farm a chance to be in the magazine. Xu Jingshou hurriedly said.
Fred hesitated, turned around and asked Li Qingyun: "Mr. Li, what do you think?" If there is a comparison, I think readers can understand the difference between different farm vegetables more clearly and intuitively. ”
Li Qingyun smiled: "I have no problem here, if you gourmets like to take risks, I don't have any opinion." In this way, today we will each make ten dishes, and the main dishes are all green vegetables in the field, and you can add all kinds of side dishes, chicken, fish, meat and eggs. Then we put together a table to eat, and at the table, we talked while eating, discussing the good and bad of various vegetables. ”
Xu Jingshou immediately said: "Li Qingyun, this is what you said, don't give us the opportunity to serve it to the table when the time comes." ”
Without waiting for Li Qingyun to answer, he said to Qin Yao: "Hurry up, let's go back and prepare quickly, this is our best opportunity to show, otherwise our vegetables will not be sold at a high price." On a snowy day, the average price is not higher than five yuan. ”
Li Qingyun didn't bully them, he only used the vegetables in the greenhouse, and the vegetables grown in the small space were useless at all. Ten dishes were quickly prepared, and I didn't know the drinking habits of these foreigners, so I just brought a few bottles of red wine brought by the guests to the table and let them open the bottles by themselves, so as not to be ridiculed by Victor because of the way they opened the wine.
Victor picked up the red wine on the table casually, and wanted to laugh at Li Qingyun for a few words, saying that his wine was not of high grade, but when he looked at the label, he suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my God, you are too generous, 82 years of Rafe, there are actually two bottles here, it's amazing...... Come and see, everyone, help check it out and see if it's a fake. ”
His exclamations were clearly intentional.
Fredo and a few other gourmets had no choice but to go over and take a closer look, which was not a matter of concern, but it was all true. The next few bottles are also red wines from the Lafite series, but the vintage is 2007.
Two bottles of 82-year-old Lafaite were given by Chu Yingtai, the richest man in Nanyang, and the 07-year-old Lafaite red wine was a gift from the old man Qin, Li Qingyun didn't know much about red wine, and he usually piled it up in the corner.
Fred gave Li Qingyun an extremely warm hug, and said with an excited expression: "Dear Li, you are really so generous, you are willing to take out the out-of-print 82-year-old Rafe for us to taste, this is our honor! When you arrive in the United States, I will treat you to a big meal, a big meal that I make with my own hands. ”
The gourmets next to him screamed again and again, and laughed and said, "Li, your mouth is not shallow, and it is rare for Fred to take the initiative to make a big meal for him." ”
Li Qingyun felt that there was nothing to be excited about, wasn't it red wine, and he didn't like to drink it very much, if he wanted to drink alcohol, it was still the fragrance of liquor collected in a small space. As for Fred's meal, he was even less interested, he was used to eating space vegetables, and he didn't want to eat anything else, because eating other things was like chewing wax, there was no aura, and there was no good taste.
These people were laughing excitedly, Xu Jingshou and Qin Yao held two large trays and brought over ten plates of dishes, all of which were covered with large bowls to keep warm, so as not to get cold.
The plates used by the two families are different, lined up, and they are distinct.
"Mr. Li, although you have provided us with the best red wine, we will not distort black and white with a clear conscience. ”
"Delicious is delicious, and foodies never joke with their tongues!"
"The credibility of a gourmand can be assured to God. ”
Li Qingyun sat on the main seat, invited everyone to sit down, and said with a relaxed smile: "Just invite you to have a meal, you don't need to be so strict." It's just that I can't get used to seeing some people like to compare with me, so I arranged this occasion for everyone to speak with their tongues. Okay, I'll walk around with you all morning, I'm hungry too, let's start eating. ”
After speaking, Li Qingyun took out a bottle of liquor, poured himself a drink, and began to eat and drink, but he didn't take these gourmets seriously. When Fred smelled the aroma of liquor, he immediately exclaimed and asked, "Dear Li, what kind of liquor is this, and why is the fragrance so unique? It is many times better than the Moutai I have drunk......
And Victor, who once said that liquor is difficult to drink, also looked at the liquor in Li Qingyun's cup at this time, which was obviously slightly yellow and fragrant, a hundred times stronger than all the fine wines he had seen before. He, a person who has never looked down on liquor, is so hungry that he drools.
"This is the liquor made by my fifth grandfather, the ancestral brewing process, which is not available anywhere else, and you have never smelled it at the time, let alone drank it. ”
Li Qingyun's words are a bit nonsense, what is an ancestral heirloom. At that time, they were all poor, and they went everywhere to beg for coolies, some to carry goods, some to learn to repair clocks and watches, and some to learn to make wine in wineries. His fifth master worked as a helper in the winery since he was a child, grew up as a coolie in the winery, and learned to make wine from many winemakers, so he had the later skills. This craft is only a few decades, which is what kind of ancestral inheritance.
And his grandfather Li Chunqiu followed an old Chinese medicine doctor in the town since he was a child, when he was a little older, the old Chinese medicine doctor passed away, so he went to the city as an apprentice, and also changed a lot of masters, to a little older, when he was collecting medicine in the mountains, he met an old Taoist priest, and learned a martial arts from others, and his medical skills have also made great progress.
How did these foreigners know this, as soon as they heard that it was an ancestral craft, they were immediately in awe. I opened a bottle of 82-year-old Lafite, but I didn't drink it, and stretched my neck one by one, wanting to taste the taste of liquor brewed by Li Qingyun's ancestral skills.
Li Qingyun had no choice but to pour most of the cups for each of them. I used a goblet to drink red wine, and I poured most of the glasses, mainly because I was afraid that these foreigners would not be able to finish drinking and wasting it.
Who would have thought that these people were full of praise when they drank it, and when they tasted the dishes, they didn't use boiled water to rinse their mouths, they just ate and drank at the same time, which was not at all the same as the usual way of identifying food.
When tasting the dishes made by Li Qingyun, the gourmets have nothing to pick, not to mention the craftsmanship, just the delicious vegetables rich in spiritual energy conquer them.
Tasting the dishes made by Xu Jingshou again, he suddenly frowned one by one, and he didn't want to clip the second chopstick.
"Oh, your vegetables are terrible, your cooking skills are terrible, this is the worst dish I've ever had. Even Victor, who spoke for Xu Jingshou at the beginning, gave up on them and turned to support Li Qingyun's vegetables.
"How can there be such a big difference, I don't believe it. As he spoke, Xu Jingshou, who had changed his complexion, picked up his chopsticks and sandwiched a few vegetables into the dishes made by Li Qingyun. After eating, his face became even more ugly. (To be continued......)
