Dinner has six dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetables, the dishes are very simple, but the taste is chef-level, not only the credit of space vegetables, it seems that Mu Fanyue is not completely flattering her grandmother.

After eating, Mu Kaimin led Ye Quan to the study, obviously there was something to talk about, Ye Quan didn't know what it was, but he thought it was related to his vegetables.
Sure enough, Mu Kaimin said: "A few days ago, I invited some old friends to eat at home, but I didn't expect to be in trouble. ”
Ye Quan said, "What's the trouble?" ”
Mu Kaimin said with a smile: "Several leaders of the Political and Legal Committee and the Public Security Department praised the dishes at home for a good time, I was proud for a while, so I confessed to you, and praised the vegetables for a while, no, they were interested, and after taking some vegetables for testing, let me contact you to see if I can supply some to the canteen." ”
"Special dishes?"
Ye Quan was stunned and squeezed out three words from his mouth.
Mu Kaimin nodded and said, "Sort of." ”
Hearing this, Ye Quan frowned, he usually browsed all kinds of information when he had time, and he knew a lot about special food.
"Special offering" or "exclusive offering" is equivalent to ancient tribute, but it has changed from the royal family to the upper class or privileged people, such as Moutai, Wuliangye and other state banquet wines, as well as Bolongbao wine, Bailing mushrooms, Manulife meat duck and Changyang grapes and other agricultural products are considered special offerings.
It has been rumored in the industry that vegetable farmers never eat the vegetables they grow, the reason is that these vegetables are irrigated by pesticides and fertilizers, and even the vegetable farmers themselves do not eat them, how can others eat at ease?
To be honest, Ye Quan has no prejudice against government agencies wanting to eat better in vegetables and other foods, not to mention officials who hold power, even ordinary people have this pursuit.
For example, around Beijing, there are many small "organic farms" that form a supply and demand relationship with a small number of families, which is a new supply model similar to family farming cooperatives, where the vegetables, fruits, eggs, milk and meat produced are exclusively supplied to cooperative families, and although the price is higher than the market price, at least they can be eaten with confidence.
What makes Ye Quan uncomfortable is that the current food safety situation in Xinhuaguo is too bad, and food safety incidents occur frequently, such as gutter oil, highly carcinogenic poisonous rice, poisonous soy sauce blended with hair water, vegetables and fruits with excessive pesticide residues, pork containing "lean meat", poisonous melon seeds processed with mineral oil, red eggs produced by chickens fed with Jiali Suhong, zuò stinky tofu soaked in pig manure, fresh sea shrimp soaked in human urine, white fungus smoked with sulfur, red pepper, pepper and medicinal herbs, Strawberries and kiwi fruit ripened with hormones, Chongqing hot pot base with paraffin wax as a coagulant, green tea dyed with pigments, pickles marinated with banned "industrial salt", "wine" blended with saccharin water and pigments, and so on.
In addition, there are black-hearted mooncakes, black-hearted bean sprouts, black-stuffed dumplings, poisonous leeks, poisonous sausages, poisonous hams, poisonous dates, poisonous milk powder, poisonous longan, etc., and ......so on, I can't count them!
The people live on food!
Ye Quan casually listed in his heart, there were dozens of poisonous foods, and it was almost impossible to imagine that there was any food that black-hearted businessmen would not dare to spoil, and this phenomenon had to make people feel hopeless.
On the other hand, government agencies and officials' families, including state-owned enterprises, diplomats and international schools, have their own special supply channels, even if it is just a salted duck egg, it must be a special product.
Some netizens once said that it is precisely with these special foods that officials will be indifferent to the food safety problems of the people, although this is biased, but it is not without a little truth.
How good is specialty food, to give two examples:
First, "breeding pigs eat eggs, sows drink fish soup" special pigs, these pigs to the wild to eat a variety of wild vegetables, plant rhizomes, sweet potatoes, radish, vegetable leaves and other feed feed, no other additives, more than 3 months later than ordinary pigs slaughtered, in order to improve the reproductive rate and the quality of breeding pigs, breeding pigs can enjoy two eggs a day, lactating sows can drink fish soup.
The requirements for lean meat percentage are also high, and the weight cannot exceed 110 kg, but cannot be less than 90 kg.
Second, "people have to die more than people, even if they have to throw away vegetables".
The growth environment of special vegetables must be fresh air, green and organic without pollution, and the quality of water quality, air and soil must meet the excellent standards stipulated by the state.
Ensure that all products are original, apply organic fertilizer, do not use pesticides, completely use manual weeding, manual insect control, and the water used for irrigation is pollution-free mineral water.
On the one hand, there is an increasingly poor food safety environment; On the other hand, it is the government's inaction, but to seek special supply channels.
If it was other government officials who talked about this matter, Ye Quan would definitely refuse without thinking about it, but Mu Kaimin helped him a lot, and it was really difficult to refuse.
Seeing that Ye Quan was a little hesitant, Mu Kaimin seemed to think of something, and said: "In fact, the special dishes are not as exaggerated as the outside world rumores, in order to make it more convenient and safer in terms of procurement." ”
Ye Quan also knew that many things on the Internet would be exaggerated, and said: "Special dishes may not be so exaggerated, but now the domestic food safety problem is not exaggerated at all, no, it is no longer a problem, it should be called a 'crisis'." ”
Mu Kaimin sighed rarely, relaxed his body, leaned back in his chair and said: "Not in his position, not in his politics, I heard Lin Yatou say that you are going back to your hometown of Yue'an to build a new vegetable planting base, it just so happens that my son Ziqiang is now the mayor of Yue'an City, if you can become a special base, at least your interests can be fully guaranteed." ”
Ye Quan thought about it for a moment and said, "Mu Bo, it's okay if you want me to agree, but there are two requirements. ”
Ye Quan knew that the government not only had strict requirements for food for special supply bases, but also special requirements such as "ensuring safety, quality, timeliness, and confidentiality" and not supplying them to the market, which was what he was most worried about.
"Tell me about it."
"First, my hometown is in a mountainous area with inconvenient transportation, and I hope the government can strongly support infrastructure such as roads and bridges. Second, except for food inspection, the government should not interfere too much in other affairs of the base. ”
Mu Kaimin laughed when he heard this, and said: "You kid, your vegetable base is still nowhere to go, and you actually raised the conditions to the government first." ”
Ye Quan didn't want to talk more, and after reaching a preliminary opinion with Mu Kaimin, the two chatted about current affairs and news, and then proposed to leave.
************************
In less than a week, the fruit and vegetable store was on the right track, and some nearby residents slowly discovered that the store was selling extremely expensive vegetables, but the quality was surprisingly high, with a daily turnover of more than 6,000 yuan, and it closed at 1 p.m.
Even, I don't know which customer reported to the "Jiangning Life Evening News", and a reporter came over to make a special interview.
Since Ye Quan opened, he rarely stayed in the store, and when the Ding Yuqiu sisters saw the reporter, they were a little stunned and hurriedly called Ye Quan.
Such a good thing, if it falls on other bosses, I am afraid that I will jump up with joy, and even give some gifts to reporters, so that the other party can say more good things, but Ye Quan did not pay attention to the vegetable business, so he did not want to come forward, but felt a little bad in his heart.
On the phone, Ye Quan just asked Ding Yuqiu to explain the set of pure natural, pollution-free, green and organic, and he didn't care.
In the afternoon of the same day, in the newly released "Jiangning Life Evening News", a news report titled "Xining Street is shocked by sky-high vegetables, customers praise the value for money".
The report, published on the Urban Life page, was not very conspicuous, with a word count of just over 700 words, and interviewed the clerk and a few customers, and explained the reason for the high price of these vegetables, without even objective comments.
However, this report passed the words of several customers, and gave Taoyuan Vegetable and Fruit Shop a soft advertisement that did not cost money, but had excellent results, and there was also a picture of Taoyuan Vegetable and Fruit Shop next to it, which made many people pay attention to it, especially those who live near Xining Street, and there are many people who are interested in it.
