Chapter 41: Fighting for the Dog
If you win five million, what do you want to do? Meng Zhen remembers that when he watched TV, sometimes he would see the characters in it winning the lottery or something, everyone had different reactions when they won the jackpot, of course, they would not draw it like Uncle Benshan's sketch, but they must be super excited.
Although Meng Zhen didn't win the lottery, she felt that with this flower, she felt more shocked than winning the jackpot. If someone wins the jackpot, they must at least invest money to buy a lottery ticket, but she is almost the same as picking it up for nothing. Therefore, in the following days, she always had a silly person who had nothing to do, thinking about what to do when she got the money.
Well, let's buy a car first. I went to the 4S store that sold cars some time ago, but the model she fancied was too expensive, which was completely beyond her ability to afford at that time.
Then, if the house is re-covered, it doesn't have to be too luxurious, just like the Ming Lotus House she saw in the urban area, the antique courtyard, a pool of clear water, and a small waterwheel on the tree, absolutely dreamy.
Finally, Dad still lives in the dormitory building of the unit, which is more than ten years old, so ask for Dad's opinion and see if you can change a better house for them.
And also......
"Meng Zhen, what do you think, smiling so happily?"
Li Sihai came to pick up vegetables as usual, and as soon as he arrived in Zhoujiazhuang, Meng Zhen said that her vegetable garden had also been officially built, and asked him to take a look. Li Sihai used to want to know where Meng Zhen's food came from, but because he was not familiar with the relationship, he was worried that the request would be too abrupt and make the family unhappy.
Today, Meng Allah moved to bring it up, and of course he would not refuse, so he came to the vegetable garden she said with Meng Zhen. Walking to the ridge, the road was originally facing Meng Zhen's lotus pond and wheat field, but now a wall nearly two meters high has been built, and in the middle is a pair of large iron gates with black lacquer and flowers. Walking inside, there is a hut of more than 20 square meters behind the door, a bit of a guard room, the hut has just been built, and there is only a single wooden bed in the house.
At present, the vegetable garden has not been fully built, at least the largest land is still a piece of golden wheat, and the westernmost acre of land is really planted.
Li Sihai saw the vegetables he cared about the most, and walked a few steps to the ground, where there were rows of tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, and loofahs, beans, cucumbers, and so on. As he walked, he squatted down to take a closer look at the vegetables he was concerned about, and the tomatoes and eggplants were almost exactly the same as those served before, and the worries in his heart finally let go.
Although he signed a contract with Meng Zhen, with the boom in business, he was really a little worried about whether Meng Zhen's food supply was sufficient.
His branch has to start preparing immediately, and the current business is so good that the restaurant is usually full as soon as the meal arrives, and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, you have to make a reservation in advance, otherwise there will definitely be no seats. Nowadays, their signature dishes: milk soup and cabbage, sweet and sour carp and tomato crystal lotus sachets are available in limited quantities, serving 66 servings a day, and the price is also ridiculously high.
Because of his drive, many restaurants in the city have also launched tomato buns, but whether it is the ingredients or craftsmanship, they are not the same grade as their own restaurants. Even the people's news column of the TV station interviewed him and praised him as a model of self-employment. He can now say that he has a bumper harvest of fame and fortune, and all of this is inseparable from Meng Zhen's healthy dishes, so he cares more about the cultivation of vegetables than anyone else.
It seems that people also attach great importance to it, and directly opened up a vegetable garden, I heard that it seems that a trademark has been registered, what is it called "Mengfu cuisine", he stood up and wanted to ask Meng Zhen carefully, but as soon as he looked up, he saw her looking at the green mountains in the distance!
"Uh, it's nothing, hehe, Brother Li, it's okay to look at this vegetable garden, can you pick a persimmon and try it, how about it taste?"
Meng Zhen secretly despised in his heart, he was really a poor man, and the money hadn't arrived yet, so why did he think about how to spend it first!
The relationship between the two people is getting more and more familiar, and the title has also changed, the boss comes and goes all day long, the people who call are awkward, and the people who listen are funny. Li Sihai is a few years older than Meng Zhen, so Meng Zhen calls him the eldest brother, and Li Sihai also calls him by his name, after all, their relationship is not iron enough to be called a nickname.
Li Sihai listened to Meng Zhen's words, so he directly picked a ripe tomato, rubbed it on his pants casually, and opened his mouth to take a bite. Meng Zhen looked at it a little nervously on the side, these were fruits that grew completely out of the manor, she ate a few by herself, and it felt similar to the previous one, but she was worried that it was her own psychological effect, and Zheng Jian and Meng Xianglei had never eaten real manor dishes, so their praise was not counted.
Li Sihai is different, he deals with food all day long, and he is also the first person to come into contact with this dish, his feeling should be more objective.
"Well, yes, it's still that smell! Meng Zhen, now I can really rest assured, hehe, I will talk to the boss of 'Huaixiangyuan' when I go back, and bring his store over as soon as possible, and strive for the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, our first branch will be officially opened. ”
"Hehe, that's great!" Meng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that using the soil in the manor to "fertilize" and then water it with spring water, the taste of the vegetables grown is similar to that of the manor vegetables, at least in the taste.
Zheng Jian and Meng Xianglei on the side were happily picking vegetables, especially Meng Xianglei, he was told by his father that he was enthusiastic, but he was tired and half dead on the first day, and he almost gave up. Although he grew up in the countryside, he has never experienced the days of really working with a hoe, after all, he has been an only child since he was a child, and it is too late for the family to pet, how can he be willing to let him go to the field, at most, it is just a wheat holiday, to help the family move food.
Later, he was beaten by his father, gritted his teeth and persevered, and every day he came to the vegetable garden to watch, watching them bloom and bear fruit until they ripened, and when the fruit was picked, his heart was full of happiness that his hard work was rewarded.
Zheng Jian is similar, I heard my sister talk about how to farm in the field on May Day, it seems to be quite interesting, and when I really do it, I know what the hard work is.
Two young people who have tasted the joy of harvest for the first time seem to have truly integrated into this land at this moment.
Carrying the bamboo basket full of vegetables onto Li Sihai's minivan, Meng Zhen said goodbye to Li Sihai, watching his newly bought truck leave in the envious eyes of the villagers passing by.
Alas, how much money does this car have to earn, this real girl has the ability, and when our wheat is harvested, we will also plant vegetables. I don't believe it, if you don't use pesticides or fertilizers, you can't grow such a vegetable yourself?!
Most of the villagers in the village began to plan, and they also tried a variety of dishes, following the example of Meng Zhen, and serving them well, maybe they could sell them at a high price.
Meng Zhen didn't know what the people in the village thought, but she understood that her vegetable garden was passed, and the rest was to take care of it. Seeing that the two young men were full of energy, she didn't mix, and suddenly remembered that she should vaccinate Xiong Xiong and Lei Ao, and decided to take the two dogs to the veterinary hospital if she was okay in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, it was still the tricycle, but there were two dogs sitting in the body, Lei Ao was almost ten months old, and his body was almost the same size as an adult dog, if it stood taller than Meng Zhen, and the weight was not light, Meng Zhen could no longer hold it. Xiong Xiong is also almost six months old, and although his body is not as strong as Lei Ao, the two dogs are crammed into a small car body, which looks very crowded.
Meng Zhen looked at it and said to the two dogs embarrassedly: "That, Xiong Xiong, Lei Ao, you squeeze first, and when we come back from Lijiang, when we have money, I will go to buy a car." Let's go for a drive, and now, you're going to work hard first! ”
"Wang~" doesn't matter.
"Whew~" Let's make do.
"Let's go!" Meng Zhen got on a tricycle, greeted the villagers who were chatting and playing cards at the corner of the street, and drove the two dogs to Liujiaji.
When I arrived at the veterinary hospital, I vaccinated each dog against rabies, and then, on the recommendation of the veterinarian, I bought several kinds of dog food. Although Xiong Xiong and Lei Ao are hardly picky eaters, they are not short of money now, and Meng Zhen sometimes gives them some dog food or something.
"Oh, by the way, girl, I remember that your dog was picked up on the road, right?"
After paying, Meng Zhen was about to take them away, and the veterinarian stared at Lei Ao for a while, and suddenly asked as if he remembered something.
"That's right, it's on the construction avenue, and you gave it the injection and medicine at that time!"
Meng Zhen was a little puzzled, but he still answered truthfully, anyway, this is not a secret.
"That's the case, recently someone has been inquiring about things, saying that more than a month ago, the family lost the dog, it seems to be a lion-headed Tibetan mastiff, listen to his description, it looks a bit like your dog!"
"Lost? How is it possible, you also saw the situation of Lei Ao at that time, as if he was lost? Hehe, it may be other dogs, anyway, it's not just us here Lei Ao is a lion-headed Tibetan mastiff! Doctor, it's okay, if it's okay, we'll go! ”
Meng Zhen didn't take it to heart at all, she picked up the good things she bought and left with the two dogs.
"Leopard Sai!"
Meng Zhen opened the lock of the car and beckoned the two dogs to get into the car, Lei Ao jumped into the car easily, and at this time, a surprised voice came from a distance.
When Lei Ao heard this voice, his body shook obviously, as if it was the voice of the previous master?!
"Stop, don't leave yet, give me back my leopard!"
Meng Zhen didn't care, there was a dog market behind this veterinary hospital, and people often came to buy dogs, and she thought it was calling other dogs. Hop on the car and get ready to go home. At this time, someone suddenly grabbed her handlebar: "Didn't you hear, our boss told you to stop!" ”
A sturdy man with a height of 1.8 meters rushed over and grabbed Meng Zhen's handlebar.
"Hey, what are you doing, do you want to rob in broad daylight?" Meng Zhen was taken aback, where did this person jump out of, she didn't pay attention to it, she hurriedly got off the car seat, and looked at the man with a cold face on guard.
"Robbery? I think you are, right? Say, "Where did you come from?" A man in casual clothes in his thirties panted and ran over from the dog market behind, targeting Meng Zhen and Lei Ao, who she was protecting behind him.
