Chapter 68: Green Vegetables
Zhao Shuliang walked to the vegetable field with a load of farm manure, and saw Laiwang hurriedly stop, "Laiwang, why are you willing to come back today?" ”
"Uncle Shuliang, why am I reluctant to come back?" Laiwang said with a smile.
"I heard that you're in business in town, and sooner or later you'll become a street billy." Zhao Shuliang put the burden aside, held the flat burden with his hand and said.
"To do a little business is to make ends meet."
The village is so big, Laiwang sells sweet potatoes on the street, and naturally he will always meet with the people in Tunli, and the news that Laiwang sells sweet potatoes in the town naturally spreads in Tunli.
"When are you and He Biqing going to do something?" Zhao Shuliang is concerned about this matter.
"What a thing. I just borrowed it from their shop. Laiwang said.
"Who believes? It's not a matter of time before they all live together? Hurry up, all the cubs who are about the same age as you in the tun can pick garlic. Zhao Shuliang said with a smile.
Lai Wang took out a bag of candy from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Shuliang, "I bought it for Jin Gui." Is the stinky boy out of school? ”
"It's early from school. As soon as I came back, I went out and went crazy. Zhao Shuliang didn't pick up Wang's things, "You take the things to my house yourself." Your aunt is at home. You go sit down for a while, and I'll go get some fertilizer and come back." Let's have a good drink in the evening. ”
"That's a good feeling. It just so happens that I have something to tell my uncle. Laiwang said.
"Okay. You hurry up. You're used to being in town now, and I'm afraid you won't smell it. Zhao Shuliang pointed to two buckets full of farm manure.
"What did Uncle Shuliang say? I grew up in Xiaotun, and I haven't been a farmer for a long time. Why can't you smell this? Lai Wang said with a smile.
Zhao Shuliang's mother-in-law, Liu Ying, is a cheerful woman. Liu Ying saw that Laiwang had come to his house, so without saying a word, he grabbed a fat chicken from the chicken coop and cut it with a knife.
"We don't have any vegetables in the countryside, but the chickens are fed too much. Come to Wang, you can rarely eat local chickens in the countryside in the city. There is no one who sells it in the town and does not feed it. The chicken fed by the feed was very coarse, like eating dregs, and there was no taste at all. Liu Ying put the fat chicken in boiling water and scalded it a few times, and brought it up very neatly, but Laiwang couldn't intervene if he wanted to help.
"The younger generation in our village, the mother-in-law who came to marry is the most outstanding and the most capable. It's a pity that there is no happiness to come. Not even a single bloodline remained. He Biqing is a good woman. Come to Wang, don't look at other people's marriages, it's more than enough to match you. Laiwang, my aunt speaks very straight, don't mind. Liu Yingxin is straightforward and fast-talking.
"No, no, no. Auntie, I'm willing. It's just that Biqing always says that the age difference between me and her is too big. Laiwang said.
"Well, five or six years apart. But it's also big. The young men in their twenties in the city are still married to mothers-in-law in their fifties and sixties. He Biqing is only five or six years older than you. The most important thing is that He Biqing has no children. I've heard that it's the reason for coming to Xi. Otherwise, my aunt won't match you with He Biqing. Liu Ying said.
While speaking, Liu Ying had already cleaned up the fat chicken, cut two rhubarb legs, and fried them in a pot.
When the meal was ready, Zhao Jingui's voice sounded in the courtyard.
"Wow. So fragrant. It is the flavor of the chicken. Grandma, is there a guest at home? ”
"You don't know how to come in and see it? I know to be crazy out there all day long. I don't know how to help my grandparents. Your grandson is considered to have become yellow-eyed (note: dialect, the meaning is the same as that of the white-eyed wolf). ”
"Grandma, why do you keep saying things like that? When the time comes, I will not become a yellow eye, but I will also become a yellow eye. Zhao Jingui walked into the house and immediately jumped up when he saw Laiwang.
"Come to your uncle. You're back? What about the Rifles? "This kid is obviously more concerned about the blessings.
"Rifle put it in town and didn't bring it back."
Laiwang's answer disappointed Jin Gui. "Alas, it's been a long time since I've seen a blessing. I miss it so much. ”
However, the candy bought by Laiwang quickly made Jin Gui excited again, "Uncle Laiwang is now rich." Only those who are rich buy candy for their children. ”
"Oh, the little mouth really knows how to talk." Laiwang said with a smile.
Not long after, Zhao Shuliang walked scoldingly, carrying the bucket into the backyard.
"Zhao Shengcai, who is said by the dog, has bad water in his stomach. I think he Zhao Shengcai doesn't want to be the village party secretary anymore, he wants to be the local owner's old wealth. Zhao Yulong's dog said that he didn't have the ability to go outside to make money, so he knew the idea of beating a few honest farmers. Zhao Shuliang washed the faucet in the yard before entering the house.
"Dead old man, why do you have it?" Liu Ying walked out of the kitchen.
"It's not Zhao Yulong's kid who just blocked me again and told me about my family's few acres of land. The last time he said well, he used the square field to exchange with us. For the sake of the villagers and relatives, although there is still a difference in area, I also changed with him. But now that he has leveled our family's fields, he has changed his words, saying that he has changed the fields that have fallen from the stars to me. The stars fell so far away that they couldn't put water, and the fields over there were barren for many years. No one in the village wanted it. That's why Zhao Yulong got it. Zhao Shuliang was very annoyed.
"Then we won't trade with him. Let him restore our fields to their original state. Liu Ying said.
The dog said that he called his uncle Hu Weide, the short-lived ghost. We are all old people, and if we really fight with them, we will suffer a big loss. "Zhao Shuliang is not a reckless person.
"What then? Let him Zhao Yulong come? Liu Ying was also a little worried, but she was very unwilling.
"Uncle Shuliang, don't worry. Though you reason with them, they will not dare to come nonsense. If he Zhao Yulong dares to come nonsense, let's go to the town, if the town doesn't work, let's go to the county, and sue him one level at a time, and we won't be able to deal with him, the overlord. Laiwang said.
"Hmm. It's still Laiwang who has done business outside, and his vision is different from ours. By the way, Laiwang, when you came back, you said you wanted to talk to me about something, what was it? Zhao Shuliang said.
Liu Ying also wondered what Laiwang came back for.
"That's right, Uncle Shuliang. Biqing and her sister set up a restaurant at the station, the store had just started, and during the Spring Festival, the business was okay, but now in the off-season, the business is relatively light. They wanted to make something special. I thought it wouldn't be that hard to come up with something special. Now the vegetables in the city are raised with chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the meat is filled with edible feed, so the taste is naturally very ordinary, and it is not good for the body. Some restaurants that lack morality still use water and oil to cook dishes. If all the vegetables in their restaurant were replaced with vegetables grown in our countryside with farm manure, the result would definitely be completely different. In addition, all the chickens, ducks and geese are free-range in our rural areas, and they are not fed, and even the meat used in the future can be used with our local pork. In this way, the characteristics of the hotel are made. If the taste is good, there will naturally be repeat customers. Laiwang said.
"Well, that's a good idea. Laiwang, do you mean to let me grow vegetables for He Biqing's restaurant? I'm afraid it's not easy, a restaurant wants a lot of dishes, we grow vegetables as a family, it is impossible to make too many types, but I'm afraid that we can't supply them. Zhao Shuliang said.
"What's so hard about that. Our Zhaojiatun is not the only one who grows vegetables, but usually this dish is for our own consumption, and we can't sell it for money, so we don't grow much. If they knew that this dish could be sold at an affordable price, everyone would definitely grow it recklessly. When the time comes, it will not be enough to provide a hotel, but I am afraid that He Biqing's hotel will not be able to consume so much. After all, Liu Ying is an old high school student, and this vision is different from that of ordinary farmers.
"My aunt is right. In fact, He Biqing's restaurant can't be eliminated, we can go to the town, or even the county seat or provincial capital to open a store to sell vegetables. Now that the transportation is so convenient, there is no fear of vegetables rotting in the ground. The most important thing is to grow really good vegetables that come out. Laiwang said.
"It's what the TV says it's called green vegetables. It's just that now we are full of old men and aunts, and it's not so easy to do business. Zhao Shuliang sighed, he was already past the age of competitiveness.
"I think it's hard to say it's hard to do, but it's not hard to say it's not hard." Liu Ying said.
"It's still my aunt who has a way. Old high school students are just different. Lai Wang said with a smile.
"Stinky boy, don't fool me. I'm old and confused now. If you are twenty or thirty years younger, you will definitely get this thing done. It's mostly a leader. Zhao Shengcai's family can't count on it. That old bastard only thinks about annexing everyone's land, where will we taste the sweetness in the field? It's good that he doesn't mess around behind his back. If Laiwang is at home, he can take the lead. Liu Ying thought about it, but she didn't think of a suitable candidate.
"Laiwang, why don't you just come back and lead the guys." Zhao Shuliang couldn't help but say.
"Don't, don't. Laiwang must stay in the town, be with He Biqing every day, and get the life events right first. Liu Ying hurriedly said.
"Hehe, that's right. Mother-in-law, what now? "Zhao Shuliang is an honest farmer, and Liu Ying has always been the one who takes the idea at home.
"Let's get it up first, and when we taste the sweetness, the people in the village will naturally be tempted. When the time comes, mention this matter again, and it will be a matter of course. Liu Ying said.
Lai Wang also nodded, "Well, that's good." ”
Laiwang doesn't expect to really make Zhaojiatun's green vegetable business a climate as Liu Ying said, he just covers the vegetables he planted in Hongmeng space, of course, he can drive Zhaojiatun by the way, and Laiwang won't mind.
Early the next morning, Laiwang went to the town with all kinds of vegetables picked from Zhao Shuliang's house. It was still Xiao Hong's minibus. Xiao Hong and his family were very enthusiastic. Where is the fare to collect the fare of Laiwang. I also told Laiwang that I need to bring vegetables in the future, although I told them that it is. Later, you can put a shelf on the roof of the car, and you can bring as many vegetables as you want.
