"Old man, if you have anything to say, give me orders, although I have retired now, if I can do it, I will definitely do it properly for you."

Old Man Ouyang glanced at Lao Lin's sitting posture and posture, and nodded slightly.

It's not that he is arrogant and clinging to the old rules, because if a person loses the most basic measure, he is not trustworthy.

This was true of even his most loyal men. Old Man Ouyang's face was even more gentle.

He sat on the opposite side of the desk, stretched out his finger and pointed to the two plates of tomatoes on it, and then said to Lao Lin, "You eat a piece of the tomato on your right hand first, and tell me how it tastes after eating?" ”

Even if Lao Lin was mentally prepared, he was still involuntarily stunned for a moment.

But soon, he stretched out his hand and ate a piece of the tomato on his right hand as Old Man Ouyang said.

Lao Lin ate it and tasted it carefully.

After eating, he told Old Man Ouyang, "Old man, there is no big difference between these tomatoes and the tomatoes you usually eat, if you have to say that there is a difference, there is a little more water......

Old Man Ouyang nodded and asked, "What about the taste?" ”

"The taste is no different from the tomatoes I usually eat, it should be the same variety, and it is almost the same place."

Old Man Ouyang nodded secretly, and pointed to another plate, "Lao Lin, you can taste this again." ”

Lao Lin was not unpuzzled in his heart.

Does the old man want to grow tomatoes and sell vegetables in the greenhouse?

Although he pondered in his heart, his subordinates did not stop, picked up a piece of tomato and ate it as he had just done, but after a few breaths, he suddenly paused.

This time the action was not like just now, but chewed a little bit, tasted a little aftertaste, the brow was stretched at first, but gradually frowned, and then stretched a little bit.

Old Man Ouyang stared at Lao Lin without blinking.

Lao Lin has an extraordinary sense of taste like him, and not many people know about it, and besides, Old Man Ouyang and Lao Lin have never thought of opening a restaurant as chefs, so this taste is not very useful, but it can make them taste better than others.

For example, the two of them want to know what is in the soup stock of this braised pork, and they can basically taste it after tasting it twice.

Of course, it can't be said that it is useless at all, and it also played some roles in the early years, such as whether there is food in the meal or even whether there is poison in it, which can be tasted.

More than a year ago, Old Man Ouyang tasted some vegetables, which tasted different from the vegetables he ate in the past, whether they were processed or not, he could taste them, and he didn't care about it at the time, but he would eat them once every few months, and he had tasted them seven times this time today.

Fruits that I have eaten recently, used to be vegetables, such as ordinary tomatoes, peppers, beans, etc., but the taste is completely different from the taste of ordinary vegetables.

His tongue tasted it easily, and he didn't take it seriously at first, but he didn't know why, Ouyang Sheng suddenly associated this with some people and certain things, so he called Lao Lin and asked him to make the final decision. ”

After eating all the tomatoes, this old Lin actually took another piece and tasted it as carefully as just now, and Old Man Ouyang didn't stop it anymore, didn't ask again, and waited quietly.

Then Lao Lin spoke, and his voice was incredible, "Old man, if I say that we can't grow tomatoes like this in the land of China, do you believe it?" ”

Old Man Ouyang's eyes flashed, but he nodded slowly, and said word by word.

"I believe it."

The two of them couldn't help but let out a long breath, but they felt even more confused.

"Old man, this is not right, if you can't grow such tomatoes in the land of China, then they come in from abroad, but this is obviously not imported."

Nowadays, there are not many imported items, they are some fruits that are in demand, and there may be some, but they are some fruits that are not available in the land of China, or some of the higher quality, but this ordinary vegetable, what tomatoes, peppers, eggplant beans and the like, how can they be shipped in from abroad, this thought is impossible, although Lao Lin has now retreated, but this basic truth is still understood.

He understands the truth, can Old Man Ouyang not understand?

So when Old Man Ouyang came to him today, there must be something important, and this important thing is on this tomato.

Old Man Ouyang stood up, his expression a little serious.

"Lao Lin, you quietly go and investigate, where did these vegetables and fruits come from in the kitchen? Who sold it to them, who did they pass through, when and where did they come from, and where did the trucks that pulled these fruits and vegetables come from......"

Lao Lin agreed without hesitation, his eyes burst out with a fine light, and he asked, "Old man, isn't it just tomatoes?" ”

"There are others, but I don't know why this tomato is the most obvious."

"Old man, to be honest, such a good-tasting tomato, if it were in the past, could it be regarded as an elixir? Some people can't taste it, but our tongues are different from others, and after eating this thing, the benefits are really great. ”

"I've thought of what you thought of a long time ago, but I usually don't interfere in the kitchen, and even if we're aware of it now, there's nowhere to start when we look back and want to buy these things."

Old Man Ouyang spoke with regret in his tone.

Lao Lin couldn't help but nodded, this is the case, it has long been messed up, it is impossible for the vegetable and fruit market to indicate where the origin is, even if it is separated, but he also has old goods that sell vegetables and fruits, which is mixed in, and he can't find it at all.

And it's impossible to buy all the vegetables and fruits back with great fanfare, there is no shortage of people in the world, aren't the two of them like this?

"Old man, do you think the myths and legends are true or false?"

Lao Lin asked thoughtfully.

Old man Ouyang pondered for a long time, and slowly shook his head, "It's hard to say, don't people say that there is no wind and no waves, some myths and legends, even if they are not true, but there is always a reason for it, even if there are some things that we have not seen with our own eyes, but you can't rule out its existence." ”
