Chapter XXVII

Boss Gao shook his head, "Impossible." The soil fertility here is not enough, and the food we grow is not very good. The only way is to leave the fields fallow. But so many people have to eat, and fallow is absolutely impossible. The fertility of the soil will only decline, and it will clump. ”

"In addition, there was a flood at the beginning of this summer, and the farm's land was completely flooded. As soon as these dog days arrived, the drought began again. God, what can we do? Whether this year's harvest will be enough to pay taxes is still a question, let alone these dishes. Boss Gao sighed, "It's just such a dish, I went to personally select it, and I can see it." ”

"Are there any dishes that are a little more watery? Yes, but I'm also a businessman, so I have to control costs. Boss Gao said sincerely, "To put it mildly, except for the two of you, ordinary people can't eat this dish and other dishes." At best, it's a general idea. Our meat dishes here are not a problem at all. It's just a sticky. ”

In general, it is a sentence, the vegetable varieties are not good for objective reasons, and no matter how hard you try, it is useless. Vegetables that are more beautiful are sold at a high price. Even the owner of the restaurant is reluctant to buy.

But this is exactly what Liu Meiniang wants.

Liu Meiniang took out the little vegetables left in her basket and put them on the table, "Look at it, how about this dish?" ”

Boss Gao is a shrewd person, and he knew what the other party meant when he saw Liu Meiniang's action, and immediately groaned. He picked up the vegetables and looked at them, and they were indeed of excellent quality, much better than the ones he had seen before.

Especially lettuce, Boss Gao broke a piece and grew a little. Sweet and full of moisture in the mouth. A pinch of your nails can bring out the water.

But Boss Gao shook his head, "No need. ”

Liu Meiniang was stunned, "Can't this dish get into Boss Gao's eyes?" ”

"No, we have a special supply channel for the vegetables in the Spring Manlou. We have been working together for many years. Don't bother the girl. Boss Gao opened the folding fan and shook it slowly.

Boss Gao's words sound like a refusal, but in fact, there is a hidden opportunity.

The businessman is most concerned about the profit margin, to put it bluntly, the high boss is to recognize the quality of this vegetable, but has reservations about its price.

Liu Meiniang hesitated for a moment and said: "Our vegetables are all grown on land that has not been cultivated for many years, and the fertility in the soil is greater than that of perennial cultivated land. And with careful care, the vegetables grow very well. If Boss Gao is willing to take it, I can lower the price. ”

Boss Gao really raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "That girl makes a price." ”

This can make Liu Meiniang difficult, she also sold vegetables in the vegetable market this morning, where do you know the price of this wholesale?

She thought about it for a while, and it would not be much cheaper than the wilted vegetables in the vegetable market, so she weighed and set a "eight pennies and one catty".

Boss Gao was silent and didn't speak, and Liu Meiniang's heart was not very steady. She stared at each other's every move.

After a while, Boss Gao asked, "The price can be lowered." ”

Liu Meiniang's hanging heart finally let go, but she didn't continue to give in to the price, "Boss Gao, you also know." Our food is completely incomparable with the food outside. If you've been buying ingredients for a long time, you're definitely familiar with the price in this area. This price really can't be pressed. ”

Boss Gao hesitated, sighed, and nodded, "Cheng." ”

The joy on Liu Meiniang's face was irrepressible, and she was about to jump up with joy.

The matter has been negotiated, and Boss Gao said, "That's the case, our restaurant has a lot of demand for vegetables, not to mention this number every day." ”

Boss Gao stretched out his hand and counted them, "But we only need seasonal vegetables, can you afford it?" ”

Liu Meiniang nodded, "Of course it's no problem." Boss Gao can also provide you with two recipes. ”

Boss Gao smiled when he heard this, "This needs to be discussed with Master Yang." ”

Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan immediately went to the back kitchen.

At this moment, it was past the time to eat, and the back kitchen was also free.

Chef Yang is a person who has devoted himself to studying cooking skills, and as soon as he heard about the new recipe, he was immediately interested.

Liu Meiniang observed that although there were people who ate Jiwei shrimp and crabs in this era, most of them were steamed. She simply made a spicy crab dish with prawns in tomato sauce.

She loved these two dishes in modern times, and their popularity was also very high. These two dishes are still her specialty.

There are not many people in Liuhe Village who like to eat spicy food, and Master Yang also took a fresh look.

"I've never seen anything like it." Master Yang took the chopsticks and tasted it, and it actually felt very good.

That's for sure, these are two modern dishes, how can people in ancient times know?

Liu Meiniang snorted, "It's ugly." ”

Chunmanlou's order quickly bought all the vegetables in Zhang's field, and Liu Meiniang's family also made a lot of money. But it's still not enough to pay off gambling debts.

The two-month deadline was approaching, which made the family a little anxious. In case the money is not full, I don't know what Wang Dayi will do to them.

It is not completely impossible to repay the debt, after all, there is still a hundred taels given by Mrs. Wang in the space of Liu Meiniang's jade pendant. But the money is inconvenient to take out, and it will be even more difficult to explain when someone finds out.

Liu Meiniang thought about it and decided to go to the mountains to see if she could pick up some ingredients to sell, or let Zhang Jihan catch some rabbits and pheasants or something.

It's not a lot of money, but it's a little bit if you can make up a little.

Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be able to pick up some treasures?

Didn't there be a lot of similar documentaries on TV before? A farmer went up the mountain to do something, and found precious medicinal herbs or expensive ingredients, and then became rich overnight......

What if the blind cat runs into a dead mouse?

After the field was harvested, Liu Meiniang sowed the vegetable seeds in the field again. After all, she has spiritual spring water, so there is no such thing as leaving the fields fallow.

This is also for the future life plan.

After Liu Meiniang thought it through, she took Zhang Jihan and Zhang Dandan to the back mountain.

There are generally few people in the back mountains, and there are more aggressive animals on the mountains, which is not very safe. On weekdays, at most, only one woodcutter will go up the mountain to chop firewood.

Zhang Jihan is quite experienced, he used to set traps in places where rabbits often haunt, and sometimes he could really catch one or two, and then sell rabbit fur and meat separately. Sometimes, if you are lucky, when you catch a lot of rabbits, the food at home can be improved.

Such a small rabbit, they have to eat it for several days. The rabbit meat is packed in a small basket, then tied with a rope and hung in the well. This is equivalent to a small Xiaoice box, and the meat will not rot in such a hot day.

But today, Zhang Jihan's luck is obviously not very good. In other words, the little rabbits in the mountains have learned well.

There were five or six iron-toothed clips, not even a single rabbit hair. There were also two iron clips that had been closed by something. Nothing.

Zhang Jihan was inevitably a little discouraged. Zhang Dandan slapped his second brother's hand twice as a little adult to show comfort.

"Let's be a little more efficient and go our separate ways. Dandan followed my brother, and I walked a path by myself. We'll meet here in an hour. And then report back to each other, how? Liu Meiniang proposed.

The height of the back mountain is not very low, and if you stand on the top of the mountain, you can see a white fog downward. But there's nothing on it, and very few people set foot in it. The back mountain is a group of hills, and it is difficult to distinguish where is the border.

It will take a lot of time to complete this large area of mountains and forests.

Although it is summer, the temperature in the mountains and forests is always lower than outside. The air is also more humid, mixed with the smell of earth. It's dry outside, and it's still humid in the mountains and forests.

There are basically no roads here, and it is very inconvenient to walk. When Liu Meiniang and her party came out, they all carried a bamboo basket and a sickle. It can not only open the way, but also defend itself.

The trees are growing vigorously, and the eyes are full of green, and they are still different levels of green, some are tender and some are dark green. At a distance, it looks black.

Liu Meiniang doesn't know the trees here, she only knows that there are fine bamboo and camphor trees, and she doesn't know anything else.

The dead branches and fallen leaves of the back mountain are all under your feet, layered on top of each other, and stepping on it makes you feel like you are walking on a carpet. It's soft and a little slippery.

Liu Meiniang almost slipped several times.

All kinds of insects are enough for Liu Meiniang, the key is that she is afraid of snakes.

Almost two steps away, she would observe the trees above her head and the path ahead for suspicious snakemen.

This ancient is no better than modern times, you can't call for help with a phone call, and there is no serum to inject you. If you are bitten by a venomous snake, it is probably here.

The more Liu Meiniang thought about it, the more scared she became, and a layer of sweat appeared behind her. Movement is also becoming more and more slow.

In such a hurry, she wanted to go to the toilet. This nervousness and wanting to go to the toilet has not been able to change it! It's a hell of a thing.

People have three urgency, and they can't hold back and not solve them.

Liu Meiniang hesitated again and again and decided to find a naturally formed small pit to solve.

I don't know if it's because of the heavy rain some time ago, but the mud on this mountain has also been washed away a little. In the bamboo forest, there will be some potholes on the slope that sink into the mountain, and it is not a problem for people to hide in them.

Liu Meiniang walked for a while and saw a pothole. She walked inside, ready to settle it.

This is the first time in her life that she has done this kind of thing in the wild, which always makes her feel a little embarrassed and a little panicked.

When she was lifting her pants after going to the toilet, Liu Meiniang glanced at her and saw a bent snake in front of her left.
