At noon, Wanru and Xiaoliangzi and Liu Yanhong were invited by the rancher Qinggeltai to his house for lunch, accompanied by Bagen and Temur.

When I came to the ranch of Qinggeltai, I saw that there were still dozens of sheep left in the small sheep shed in the huge pasture.

His wife, Tana, installed a stove in the sheepfold just like a baby baby. Feed them fine feed.

Wanru and Xiao Liangzi, Liu Yanhong, saw Tana's beautiful face with crystal tears. The flock that depends on them for their livelihood will die like this, and anyone will feel sad.

Wanru turned and walked out of the sheep shed, and saw Qinggeltai, Bagan, and Temur whispering. Knowing them, there will be something to say to yourself. I don't care.

At this time, a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old ran out of the room and said to Qinggeltai, "Grandpa and grandma have already cooked the meal. Let you go there and eat. ”

Qing Getai looked in the direction of the sheepfold and saw Xiao Liangzi and Wanru walking together.

hurriedly stepped forward and said with a warm smile: "Boss Zhang, our conditions here are simple, don't be surprised, just eat a homely meal." ”

Wanru smiled at them mildly, "Haha, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

When the group came to the yurt at the back of the pasture, they smelled the strong aroma of mutton.

An old lady stood at the door, greeted them warmly, and let everyone into the yurt. I saw a table full of large plates of mutton, lamb chops, and mutton soup. There are also two pots of milk tea.

Thana, Chingeltai's wife, brought warm water and asked everyone to wash their hands.

Then let everyone sit around the table.

He said with a smile: "This year's heavy snow is a disaster that has not been seen in decades. We suffered a lot of losses this time, and the government also gave us a part of the subsidy. In the coming year, we will regroup. Boss Zhang, this is your first time coming to us, right? ”

Wanru looked at the old man, poured them milk tea, and said with a smile, "Yes." All I know is that it's colder than ours every year, and snow is common. Unexpectedly, this year's snow is not only heavy, but also has been falling for so many days in a row. ”

It wasn't too cold in the yurt, and Wanru took off a coat she was wearing outside. It suddenly occurred to me that I still had some duvets and down jackets, and thermal underwear was left in the space.

I also made up my mind to leave them before leaving.

Qing Ge Tai looked at the steaming dishes, picked up the table knife, and began to divide from a large piece of roast mutton, and put the pieces of roasted mutton that were charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and placed them on the plate in front of Wanru and the others.

Tana sat next to Wanru, put a moist napkin in front of each of them, taught them how to use the knife, and then grabbed the mutton and started eating.

He also smiled at Wanru and said, "Boss, eat it while it's hot, it won't taste fragrant when it's cold." ”

Wanru and Liu Yanhong, Xiao Liangzi, saw that everyone was like this, and they also followed their example and ate it.

After eating a piece of barbecue, I don't know if it's because it's so bold, the reason why I grasp it with my hands, or the reason for the atmosphere. Anyway, Wanru felt that the barbecue she ate this time was particularly enjoyable and fragrant.

She wiped her greasy hands with a napkin and took a sip of milk tea.

Tana immediately added another spoonful of mutton soup to the bowl in front of him.

Wanru smelled the aroma of mutton soup, and also took a few sips with a small spoon, smacked her mouth a few times, tasted the taste, and drank it all.

Then he looked around at them and said, "This is the most delicious mutton soup and roast meat I've ever tasted." Your cooking skills are simply superb. Is there an ancestral secret recipe? ”

Amr smiled and said: "It's not all, this kind of practice, we will all do." To really do it just right, you have to master the heat. Boss Zhang, we still have a lot of sheep in the water, can you also collect some of them? ”

Bagen pointed to a large bowl of mutton soup in front of him and introduced, "What you just drank is mutton soup made from sheep water." Delicious, fragrant, high in calories, rich in nutrients, and most suitable for winter consumption. ”

Wanru had actually seen that they had this intention, and she smiled and was very easy-going.

Then he said slowly: I came here to deliver supplies this time. It was the leader who asked me to buy some back, which can be regarded as helping you reduce your losses a little. To tell you the truth, I have purchased so much beef and mutton, and I am also worried, so I can only find a way to sell it when I go back.

However, after eating the whole sheep banquet in front of me, I thought of a good solution. Haha, it's good for both of us, do you want to listen to it?

Xiao Liangzi looked at Wanru's expression, and with the words, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the three of Qinggeltai very mysteriously.

Seeing that her husband didn't answer for a while, Tana smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, of course we want to hear it." ”

Wanru personally cut a piece of mutton with a dinner knife and ate it with her hands. I don't care about everyone's eyes.

I thought, I have to be steady, this is not a trivial matter, only if you and I are willing is a good deal.

Wanru finished eating a piece of meat and wiped the grease stains on her hands with a napkin.

I heard Temur hurriedly ask: "Boss Zhang, if you have any ideas, just tell me quickly." Since it's good for both parties, it's a good thing! ”

Wanru no longer pretended to be deep, coughed lightly, and smiled at them: "Is most of your beef and mutton sold to the mainland?" ”

Qinggeltai said without hesitation: "Yes, 70% of them are sold to the mainland. ”

Wanru bowed slightly: I have a supermarket and a hotel in the capital, and there are also in two other cities. I have eaten the whole sheep banquet you cooked, and I thought of hiring you to be the chef in the hotel, and I will make a whole sheep banquet in the future.

Don't worry, the chef's annual salary is 240,000 yuan, and if the benefits are good, there will be a salary increase, and a bonus will be paid at the end of the year.

Secondly, your cattle and sheep will be available to us all year round. Isn't it good for both of us?

They first looked at each other for a moment, and then they all smiled wonderfully.

Wanru continued: "You have such good cooking skills, if you don't show them to outsiders, it will be meaningless. Only by allowing more people to taste different deliciousness, will your cattle and sheep have a big market. Prices can also be raised. ”

Qinggeltai's father finally spoke. Nodding his head very approvingly, with a solemn face, he said to his son:

"The owner was right. No matter how beautiful a flower is, it needs people to appreciate it. Only by cooking our beef and mutton into a delicacy that people like, can the ranch have a better development. I agree to go over and just stay for a year and give it a try. ”

Wanru couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, her purpose was to let this old man pass.

The capital is a very good market, if the whole sheep banquet is famous, the hotel's business will go to the next level.

Without hesitation, he said, "Okay." You should always be ready to go back with us at any time. Discuss it again, if anyone still wants to go there. Feel free to call me. You can also go over and inspect it first, and I will pay you the cost of the round trip. ”

Xiao Liangzi also echoed: "There is a big market for beef and mutton in the mainland, and you can make such a whole sheep banquet in winter, mutton soup, etc.; In summer, you can make skewers in the open field. Only by going out can we broaden our horizons and discover the market. ”

Bagan hurriedly said, "I'll explain it to my father when I get home." Would he be willing to go over? Hehe, I want to go over and show my skills. ”

Wanru smiled and said, "It's not a trivial matter, you can discuss it." As for the cattle and sheep you said about going into the water, give a reasonable price, and we will buy them all. ”

After eating, Wanru and Xiao Liangzi returned to the car and whispered to him, "I'll take out some gifts from the space and give them to them." ”

Xiao Liangzi understood and opened the trunk of the car, and then the two returned to the yurt with gifts.

Wanru smiled and said to them, "This is my gift to you. You guys look at it. ”

Three days later, on the morning, Wanru asked Liu Yanhong to pick up Qinggert's father, Amur, to the airport.

I didn't expect this old man to be so attentive and prepared two bags of homemade ingredients.

Wanru didn't say much, just under the cover of Xiao Liangzi, she directly entered the space.

A group of four people boarded a helicopter back to the capital.

In the roar of the helicopter and the powerful air waves, it gradually rose into the sky.

Wanru overlooked the great rivers and mountains in the west, and thought of her running around these days, and her heart was full of emotion.

She thought of a passage in Xu Zhimo's "Farewell to Kangqiao":

Gently I go, as softly I came; I beckoned softly, and made a cloud of the western sky. -----

Quietly I went, as quietly I came; I waved my sleeves and didn't take a cloud with me.

Thinking of this, Wanru smiled self-deprecatingly, very romantic.

An inexplicable wave rose in my heart.

Thinking of this sentence again, it was not very suitable for his trip, the cloud did not take away a piece, but took away more than twelve tons of beef and mutton.

Back in the capital, Xiao Liangzi went to report to the third uncle.

Wanru, Liu Yanhong and Amur asked the car to pick them up and drove directly to the Yunxiang Hotel.

They met Lu Shiya at the hotel, and Wanru asked him to arrange a room for Qinggert's father, Amur.

Then he told Lu Shiya and the lobby manager Han Changjiang about his thoughts.

Finally, he said, "What you have to do is to buy all the necessary utensils according to his requirements and make room for him." The second is to advertise, to make a special statement, it is the cattle and sheep on the grassland. ”

Han Changjiang said approvingly: "Okay." It is winter, and it is suitable to eat high-calorie food of beef and mutton. How is the price determined? ”

Wanru thought for a long time, and thought to herself, the price of the beef and mutton brought this time was much cheaper than usual. Not necessarily. Once the price is set, it will be difficult to increase it later.

The corner of her left mouth curled slightly, and she said decisively: "On the price of beef and mutton that is usually cooked, plus 50% of the profit." Transported from afar, the freight is also a lot, and secondly, the prairie air is good, and the cattle and sheep are all grass, which is more convincing. ”

Lu Shiya agreed and said, "That's right. If you want to eat, you will eat it if the price is a little higher. If you don't want to eat it, you may not be able to eat it no matter how cheap it is. Besides, you can also selectively ask for a plate. ”

The two of them left, and Wanru asked the chef for the key to the cold storage and went alone.

I saw that in the cold storage of more than 300 square meters, a lot of meat has been stored.

She took matters into her own hands and arranged the meat here to a place against the wall, freed up a larger space, and took out the beef and mutton from the space and launched it into the water.

until the entire cold storage is full.

In this way, the exact amount is not known. It doesn't matter, when you return to Jiangcheng, you will know the rest by weighing it.

At noon, Wanru, Liu Yanhong, Lu Shiya, Han Changjiang and Amur had lunch together.

Wanru said to Amur: "Uncle, you can get acquainted with it in the hotel. Make a list of the utensils you need and ask them to buy them for you. ”

Amur smiled lightly and said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to write. ”

Han Changjiang smiled patiently and said, "It's okay. I'll drive you to a place that sells kitchenware, and if you see it, we'll buy it. ”

Lu Shiya smiled and said to Amur: "Grandpa, charcoal fire is not allowed here, wait a while, I will take you to the roast duck restaurant to have a look." I'll find someone to be your assistant, and I'll let them do the cleaning, and you'll only be responsible for the main work. ”

When Amur came, his son Chingaltai had already told him about it. Everything is arranged by the people in the hotel.

The old man looked at Lu Shiya and smiled gently, "Okay." Get me four helpers first. ”

After eating, let Amur go back to his room to rest.

Wanru and Liu Yanhong went back to their respective homes.

When Wanru returned home, she saw Uncle Davy, who was about to send her two children to school.

The three of them were surprised to see Wanru, and the two children happily jumped up and hugged her tightly.

Wanru saw that her son had grown taller, about one meter and two, and gently stroked them on their heads.

Chunqiu said happily: "Mom, can you stay a few more days when you come back this time?" ”

"It's not long since I stayed, and there are still a lot of things to do there. The Spring Festival is coming soon, and I will stay for a while when I come back. Go to school. In the evening, my mother will make dumplings for you to eat. ”

Hua Shi also said: "We are about to have a final exam. ”

"Okay. If you do well in the exam, I will reward you, what do you want. ”

The mother-in-law heard the conversation between her grandchildren and Wanru and hurried out of the room.

Wanru smiled at her.

Watching Uncle David's car drift away, he returned to the room with his mother-in-law.

Wanru talked to her mother-in-law and went back to her room to rest.

At four o'clock, she got up and went into the kitchen, and together with the nanny, prepared to make mutton dumplings.

In Fengcheng City, in Mayor Han's office, Luo Xiaohan and Wei Yusong were happily drinking tea as if they had won a big battle.

Luo Xiaohan looked at the drawings of the scenic spot and said with a smile: "Sister Wanru is really talented. The idea of a tourist attraction is also timely rain. This is called, planting a plane tree, attracting a golden phoenix. There are two more companies that come to our store this time than Jiangcheng. ”

Wei Yusong also smiled and said, "That's right. If there are no tourist attractions, there will be a lot fewer enterprises in our city than Jiangcheng. I have already sent this good news to Sister Wanru. She was also very happy. ”

Mayor Han also said happily: "Now the tourist attraction has become famous. The arrow had to be fired. We must make preparations for the interception of the lake, and we must start work at the beginning of spring. ”

Luo Xiaohan stood up, looked at Mayor Han and said, "Let's go back and mobilize the villagers to collect stones, I have already consulted the villagers of Xinghua Village, when Sister Wanru was the resort's lake interception, it was the villagers who mobilized and collected stones." ”

Wei Yusong also said: "The vegetables in the greenhouse have also begun to ripen, and they will be busy next. I heard Niu Jianyun, the director of the vegetable processing factory, say that Sister Wanru is in the west and has contacted the Huahai Group and the troops. We're going to send vegetables to the west. ”

Winter in the capital, although not as cold as in the west, is also about minus 15 degrees Celsius.

At dinner, Wanru's family sat around and ate fragrant mutton dumplings.

The mother-in-law said to Wanru: "When you go to the resort, your aunts say that the sweet potatoes brought back from the resort are soft and sweet. Let me tell you, bring some more when you come back. ”

Uncle David also said softly, "Yes." That sweet potato is very tasty. ”

Wanru smiled and said, "Okay." Some remain. I'll have the van delivering vegetables to the supermarket bring some. When the time comes, Shiya will be distributed to each family. ”

After Lu Lao was full, he looked at Wanru and asked approvingly: "I heard Mr. Cao say, you went to the west to deliver vegetables?" ”

"Yes, I donated some vegetables, down jackets, thermal underwear and quilts. The mutton we ate was brought back from there. I also brought back a shepherd from the ranch and the beef and lamb they cooked was very tasty. During the Spring Festival, we went to the hotel to have a whole sheep feast. ”

Shiya smiled and said, "That grandfather Amur, in the afternoon at the roast duck restaurant, watched the process of roasting duck. He also tried to roast it a few times before telling me that he could roast lamb in an electric oven. ”

After dinner, Lu Mingyu suggested that he and Wanru go back to their own home.

The two haven't seen each other for half a year, and he sees his beautiful wife and wants to spend a beautiful world with her.

At night, the north wind is like a raging drunkard, whining incessantly. The roads are full of traffic, and pedestrians are barely visible on the sidewalks.

When the two returned home, the room was warm, and a beautiful layer of frost had condensed on the glass of the window.

Lu Ershao went to the bathroom diligently and filled the bathtub with hot water, like an understanding and good husband, constantly offering hospitality.

Wanru soaked in the warm bathtub, after many days of rushing, she finally felt the warmth of home at this time.

Soon Lu Ershao walked in, and the two took a mandarin duck bath lingeringly, and returned to the bedroom to confide in each other.

The next day, Wanru woke up and felt her husband sleeping beside her, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a shallow smile appeared.

Thinking that last night he was so enthusiastic, that he was fifty years old, but he was the same as when he was with him for the first time.

It seems that the crystal clear, jujube-like fruit is indeed a treasure. Not only can it rejuvenate its youthful appearance, but it can also restore a young and strong body.

I seem to be more energetic than before.

Thinking of being a widow when I was young, I was middle-aged, and miraculously made up for it.

God has blessed me with rebirth, and everything I have now, although I have my own continuous efforts, but there is no room for such a wind, I am afraid that my life will be another ending.

Just as Wanru wanted to get up, she was held in her arms by one arm again.

In the gentle township, the two of them talked to me and me, and relived the wonderful moments of happiness.

On the morning of the third day, Wanru came to the hotel, Han Changjiang and Lu Shiya had already bought the necessary utensils for Amur in the kitchen, separated by more than 50 square meters of workshops.

Amur is instructing his helpers on how to clean the cattle and sheep and marinate them.

Wanru walked over and asked, "Uncle, can you start making it today?" ”

Amur smiled and said: "Yes. It has been marinated for four hours, and it is much more convenient with this oven. It can be served at dinner. ”

Han Changjiang said with a smile: "We have already advertised and received reservations for five tables. Yesterday evening, Uncle Amur had already tried it, and we all tasted it. Hehe, the taste is indeed not ordinary. ”

At ten o'clock, An Xiaoya also came to the hotel. Seeing Wanru and them sitting around the dining table, sharing a large piece of fragrant, charred roast lamb on the outside and tender on the inside.

An Xiaoya also sat down under Shiya's greeting, watching them eat with greasy mouths.

Swallowed his saliva and said with a smile: "Haha, it is said that greedy people have particularly long legs." Not only do I have long legs, but I also know how to time them. I heard Ryoko say how delicious the barbecue she ate at the ranch was. Jue touched, Sister Wanru must be busy with this matter, she couldn't help it, so she ran over. ”

Amur hurriedly cut off a piece of roast meat and put it on the plate in front of An Xiaoya. She was just about to pick up the chopsticks, but she saw Wanru and them eating directly with their hands.

He was stunned for a moment, then grinned. Ryoko also said that she ate it with her hands.

She stood up and went to wash her hands again, and the waiter hurriedly brought over a plate with a hot towel on it.

After An Xiaoya ate a piece of barbecue, she drank another bowl of mutton soup. Then, towards Uncle Amur, he gave a thumbs up.

Wanru said to Han Changjiang: "Barbecue is nothing, I think the mutton soup must be eaten while it is hot." Every time the food is served, it is served like a hot pot. When it's cold, let the customer warm it up at any time. ”

Han Changjiang pointed to the napkin used in front of him and said, "Okay." We booked some of these napkins. I'm afraid that many people are not used to eating with their hands. ”

"It doesn't matter. Let the waiter introduce them to how they want to eat. ”

After eating, Wanru returned to the office with Shiya and An Xiaoya.

Wanru took out the drawings for the development of tourist attractions and told the two of them about her ideas.

Confidently, he pointed to the drawings and said: "This is the planning map of the scenic spot." We developed it together with the city, and I decided to give the city a 20% stake. The rest have not yet been officially allocated. Wang Zhiyong and Ji Yuqing are not optimistic about this project, and they will definitely not ask for too many shares. ”

Shiya and the two looked at the drawings, and the more they looked at them, the brighter their eyes became, and the expressions on their faces became more exciting.

Shiya's excited gaze moved away from the drawing, looked at Wanru, and asked, "Mom, I will follow you back next year." It's too boring to stay in the capital. I would also like to be involved in this project. ”

"Okay. You go back with me next year, and I have something for you to do. ”

After An Xiaoya read the drawings, she was thinking that such a huge project is of great significance, and it must also require a lot of money, and she doesn't seem to be able to come up with much.

Wanru had already seen An Xiaoya's concerns, and didn't wait for her to speak.

Looking at the two of them, he said, "I'm going to give each of you 5% of the shares." This time, I have to take the lead, and I have to have more shares. ”

An Xiaoya finally couldn't hold her breath anymore, and hurriedly said: "Sister, after reading the drawings, I don't think I can do it without more than two billion funds." We can't get 5% of the start-up capital. ”

Wanru smiled at them and said, "Haha, we don't need to spend a penny on this project, I can do it perfectly." Also, it seems to cost a lot, but many places don't really cost much. ”

After Wanru saw the two of them listening, they both stared at her with bright eyes and looked at herself.

He smiled and said: Let's talk about the resettlement houses in the scenic area. The city will also give half of the money. The land does not cost money, I will let them build a part more, and after selling it, it will be a lot of money, which can completely solve the funds for building a building.

The second is the garden, where there is a large area of land, and while making a garden, pomegranate trees, apple trees, apricot trees, pear trees, etc. are also planted.

In this way, from March to May, there is a sea of red, pink and white flowers. The main thing is that there will be fruit harvesting.

In addition, small food streets, small commodity streets, rent out the door, there will also be gains. The factory will harvest even more in the future.

The more Lu Shiya and An Xiaoya listened, the more excited they became.

After a while, An Xiaoya frowned and asked, "What do you mean when you say you don't have to take out a penny?" Doesn't it cost money to start a stone factory? ”

Wanru hurriedly told the two of them about the need for marble bricks to create a sanitary city.

Then he smiled mysteriously and said: "I am in Fengcheng City, and I am preparing to set up a stone factory, which will be put into production in February next year." Although it also costs some money, it can definitely be earned. I have already said hello to my second brother, and several cities in our province will have us to supply marble tiles. ”

An Xiaoya immediately smiled on her face, giggled for a while, and said, "I know, I will use the stone factory to feed the tourist attraction." Haha, you're tightly linked, and they know that they will be optimistic. ”

"Wrong! The stone plant belongs to us, they don't know it yet. Next year, Lu Shiya used to be in charge of the stone factory. ”

An Xiaoya's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and she called the eldest sister in front of her in her heart that she was a cunning little fox.

Thinking about it again, it's also good to have such a cunning little fox, who is on the same front as himself.

He said with a smile: "Sister, Shiya will follow you back next year, and I will start going to work." Children can be brought to the hotel to be taken care of. When my child is a little older, I want to go too. ”

"Okay. I'll talk about that later. ”
