After Su Qiange got up, he prepared breakfast and went to ask Xue Chen to get up, only to find that Xue Chen had left early in the morning, and the melons in the kitchen had also been taken away.

Not knowing what Xue Chen was doing with the melon away, Su Qiange locked himself in the kitchen at his own pace and began to think about how to rationalize the 'soybean oil', after all, boiled mushrooms and a series of stir-fried vegetables require a lot of oil.

Lard in this case is completely impossible to become the primary productive force.

Only vegetable oil can solve the supply problem, but Su Qiange can still say one or two about the general sauce, but soybean oil is not easy to explain, how to rationalize a large amount of soybean oil has become a headache for Su Qiange.

Returning to the space of thought, Su Qiange looked at the stupid soybean oil squeezing machine in front of him and fell into confusion.

On the other side, Xue Chen carried a food box and a big cantaloupe to Tieniu Village, a village in the lower reaches of the barrage river.

There is a big farmer in Tieniu Village, and the old man is said to be more than seventy years old, but he has never given up farming, and Xue Chen also heard about it last time when he was pretending to be dead on the side of the road.

The vegetables grown by the people in the village were purchased by the restaurants in the town, and only the old man refused to let people buy them, and was only willing to sell them himself, which is a very strange thing to say.

Xue Chen inquired about the reason and found that the old man was still an arrogant and dedicated old man.

said that he was arrogant because the old man felt that the vegetables he grew were the most delicious in Qingcheng and should not be spoiled casually, but this is indeed a fact, the old man's dishes are not only fresh and fresh, but also big, and I don't know what he gives those dishes every day.

Speaking of dedication, it is because although the old man's food is much better than that grown by ordinary people, he has never said anything about price increases, and he insists that his dishes should be sold directly to ordinary people.

As for talking about the mouth, it has a lot to do with the first one.

The old man's so-called reluctance to let his dishes be ruined is because he tasted the dishes made by the restaurants in the town, and none of them were satisfactory to him.

As for what the old man eats himself, because of the high requirements for the dishes, the old man usually simply eats boiled vegetables in clear water, and the things he grows are delicious anyway.

This kind of self-confidence simply hit Xue Chen's soul, so he asked Su Qiange to prepare the dishes and come to see the old man himself.

It is estimated that with Su Qiange's character, seeing such a strange person, he must not know how to get along.

The old man's surname is Jiang, the old man's house is very simple, from a distance, it is also a house, a yard, and the door panel of the gate is not pasted with the word "Fu" but "vegetable", which shows the old man's love for growing vegetables.

Anyway, before seeing him, Xue Chen didn't believe that there was such a crazy person.

Early in the morning, I watched an old man in a burlap shirt sitting at the door with a big bowl, sucking soy milk, and nothing else, looking at the field in front of the door while drinking.

Xue Chen stepped forward, "Vegetable fairy, old man?" ”

"Vegetable fairy?"

The old man was stunned by Xue Chen's social methods when he came up, and before he could react, he saw Xue Chen put all the vegetable boxes and honeydew melons in his hand on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can be regarded as finding you, they all said that it is not easy to see a living immortal like you, I can be regarded as a fairy, so I met you all of a sudden."

The old man glanced at the road at the entrance of the village and then looked back at the houses behind, his house is the first one at the entrance of the village, where is it so difficult to find?

This young man is so good-looking, don't be a fool, right? The old man looked at Xue Chen vigilantly.

However, Xue Chen's words about the vegetable fairy are very into his ears, and it makes people feel comfortable listening to them.

Not to mention, although this young man may be a little stupid, he is also an acquaintance, and he is satisfied, the soy milk bowl in his hand was put down, and the old man looked at Xue Chen and said, "Who are you?" What's the matter with me? ”

Xue Chen, who clearly observed the changes on the old man's face, pretended to be stupid to the end, and stepped forward to grab the old man's hand, "Old man, I heard that you are famous, and they all said that the dishes you grow are particularly delicious, the key is that not only that, but you also all the people of Qingcheng in the New Year, even if there is a restaurant that buys your food with more money, you will not sell it." ”

As soon as he heard that his glorious deeds were so praised, the old man suddenly came to his senses, his dim eyes widened, his bent back straightened, and his face was full of glory.

"And I heard that you are also extremely sensitive to taste, old man, and have your own size for the taste of dishes, and ordinary things are like dust to you."

When the old man heard this, he proudly said to Nunu, "It's not me blowing to you, when I was young, it was the hussar battalion soldiers around the emperor, I have been everywhere, I have eaten everything, my mouth can be said to have tasted all over the world, and it is still my hometown." ”

"Hussar battalion?"

I don't know why Xue Chen heard this word, and a bunch of people wearing armor and riding tall horses flashed in his head inexplicably.

"What? Ever seen? ”

The old man saw that Xue Chen's application was wrong, and immediately stopped to ask.

"No, no." Xue Chen shook his head desperately to shake off those pictures, and then said with a smile, "I'm a flat-headed commoner, how can I have seen a hussar camp, but after today, I can say that I have seen it." ”

"What? Did you look on the way here? ”

"No, because I saw you, aren't you from the hussar camp!"

This mouthful of sugar stuffed the old man very satisfied, laughed, and waved his hand with a smile, "No, that's all when I was young, I'm an old farmer who grows vegetables now." ”

Saying that, the old man stood up and put the bowl on the ground, "Since you came to treat me as a special opinion, I will pick a cucumber I grew myself for you to taste, crisp and delicious." ”

The old man went to the field, and Xue Chen followed closely.

Twisting the cucumber that was an adult's arm length from the melon vine, the old man deliberately wiped the cucumber on his body, scraped off the thorns that were not sharp, and then broke it open, divided it into two and handed it to Xue Chen.

"Here, taste."

On weekdays, when he encounters this melon that is not washed, Xue Chen will definitely not touch it, but now it is another matter, he comes to ask people to be sincere.

Taking the half of the cucumber, Xue Chen suppressed his habit of food cleanliness, aimed at the cucumber and bit down, his teeth cut the fresh melon flesh, the juice splashed in his mouth, and the fragrance of the cucumber had a slightly sweet taste.

Xue Chen tasted such a delicious cucumber for the first time, and looked at the old man in surprise, Xue Chen couldn't help but praise, "The cucumber you planted is too delicious!" You...... How do you grow all this? ”

"Want to know the secret?" The old man said mysteriously.

"Yes!"

"Dung." The old man whispered, "Human dung." ”

Hearing this, Xue Chen stared at the cucumber in his hand, stunned in place, and the cucumber dregs that had not yet been swallowed in his mouth did not know whether to swallow or spit out.

Looking at Xue Chen's tangled appearance, Jiang Lao couldn't help laughing.

"You slippery little baby, you still want to know how to grow vegetables from me? No way! The old man turned around and walked to the door of his house and said, "Okay, eat, there is no dung in the cucumber!" ”

It's too late, even if he knows now that this thing is not grown with dung, Xue Chen was so made that he couldn't eat the old man's human dung just now.

followed back to the door of the old man's house, Xue Chen held the half of the cucumber in his hand, re-did the psychological construction and changed back to the smiling appearance just now, "Old man, I came to see you this time to give you a taste of the dishes we grew ourselves." ”

Saying that, Xue Chen naturally put the cucumber in the lid of the opened food box, ready to show the old man the dishes made by Su Qiange.

"What are you going to do with me to taste your cooking?"

"Of course, I know that you have a keen sense of taste and strict judgment, and I want you to taste the taste of my food."

"I'm not that easy to fool, the old guy is very strict in judging dishes." The old man called out to his old fellow, looking very mean, and his eyes began to peek at the dishes inside as early as the moment he saw the food box opened.

Bringing out the fish-flavored eggplant and bringing it to the old man, Xue Chen coaxed and persuaded, "You taste it first, it's not delicious." ”

As he spoke, Xue Chen handed over the chopsticks that had been prepared long ago and handed them to the old man.

The old man first smelled the smell of the vegetables, then took the chopsticks, and sandwiched a piece of oyster sauce cabbage, which was bland at first, but it was clear that the fresh consumption of oil drove the refreshing taste of the cabbage itself, and there was no strong taste, which was the most comfortable.

But in order to show his authority, the old man did not take the second bite, but pointed to the dishes in the food box.

Xue Chen immediately put aside the oyster sauce cabbage and served the second dish, fish-flavored eggplant.

The fish-flavored eggplant has hit the soul of the old man from the taste, and he carefully sandwiched a piece and put it in his mouth, and the sweet and sour taste with a slightly spicy taste instantly aroused the whole appetite, which made people appetizing.

The old man suddenly became more interested in the next one, and hurriedly pointed to the next one.

Sweet and sour lotus root, boiled mushrooms, and soft-fried fresh mushrooms, all of them are flavors that the old man has never tasted before.

I only ate one bite of everything, which was not enough at all, and I still wanted to eat it, but in order to maintain my image, the old man could only frown and say, "Your dish tastes good, but the ingredients themselves are too bad." ”

That's what I'm waiting for!

Hearing this, Xue Chen hurriedly withdrew his smile, allowing his expression to plummet sharply, and the laughter at the beginning instantly turned into sorrow.

"Old man, you said yes, in fact, we have been worried about this for a long time, you can also see this craft, the chef who makes a dish has very high requirements for dishes, but we have been looking for good dishes for a long time, but we haven't found it, isn't this because I heard your reputation so I came to you."

The old man immediately understood, "You want to buy vegetables from me?" ”

"Is that okay?"

"Okay, how many people are in your family?" As if he knew what Xue Chen was going to say, the old man said directly, "If you don't sell more, I have rules here, and I only provide them to the people." ”

Hearing this, he should have already known his purpose, Xue Chen said secretly in his heart.

Even so, Xue Chen still didn't give up, "Old man, we are indeed the people, but the people's families can't be counted according to a few people, right?" ”

"It's useless to talk too much." The old man said, "I sell vegetables, all according to the number of people in the family, at most you have to buy two or three days, I will sell more to you." ”

"Then my family is a big family, almost 3,500 households."

The population of Qingcheng County is only more than 3,500 households, and the old man almost fainted when he heard this, "What's the matter, Qingcheng County is your home?" ”

"Almost, although we also cook and sell to everyone, but our purpose is different from those restaurants, according to our approach, we will only let many people eat, no different from a family."
