Chapter 60: The Farmer's Market

Li Yi got up early in the morning.

After washing up, he went straight to Wu Lei's room and rang the doorbell.

Wu Lei, who was holding the head of the chicken nest, opened the door, saw Li Yi who was dressed neatly outside, looked at the time again, and was a little confused: "Brother Yi, it's only five o'clock!" Didn't you say you would leave at six o'clock? ”

"That's right!"

Li Yi nodded: "It's five o'clock, it's time to get up, and the sun should come out soon." ”

"No, brother, you're too early, aren't you?"

Wu Lei has a black line.

"Is this early?"

Li Yi looked at him: "Don't you still want to run?" Come back from the run, pack up, and just in time to go. ”

"Brother, we won't record the show today, there's no need to get up so early, right?"

Wu Lei covered his eyes and hummed.

"Don't you have to go early to the wet market? I went late, and the good dishes were all picked by the family. ”

Li Yi raised his chin at him: "Go wash up, I'll call Zhao Jinmai and them, and we'll meet downstairs in ten minutes." ”

With that, he turned around and walked towards the elevator.

Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei both live on the 22nd floor.

As soon as he got up, he sent messages to Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei.

Zhao Jinmai replied to the message that she would get up immediately, but Liu Yifei did not reply, and she did not answer the phone.

When Liu Yifei came back last night, she heard them say that they were going to visit the farmers' market, and she also said that she wanted to go together.

But looking at it like this, she may not be able to get up!

But I promised her, so I naturally have to call her, and it's her business whether to go or not.

Soon, Li Yi found Liu Yifei's room.

Pressing the doorbell, he took out his mobile phone and sent another message to Liu Yifei: "Are you up?" Are you still going today? ”

There was no reply, but a moment later, the door clicked open a crack.

"Who?"

Liu Yifei's confused voice came from the crack in the door.

"Me."

Li Yi asked: "I said last night, go to the farmers' market at six o'clock, do you still want to go?" ”

"Go, are you going to leave now?"

Liu Yifei's voice was dizzy, obviously she didn't wake up at all.

"Departure at six o'clock, I'll call you in advance, get up, wash up, put on makeup or something."

"Then I'll go downstairs at 5:50 and sleep a little longer."

Liu Yifei said in a daze.

"Leave some time to wash up and put on makeup, the program team has a camera to follow the shooting."

Li Yi reminded.

"No, isn't this a reality show? Shouldn't it be real? ”

Liu Yifei covered her mouth and yawned, and waved her hand: "Bye-bye-bye, I'll see you later." ”

With that, she closed the door and went back to sleep.

She didn't talk nonsense, and after Li Yi and Wu Lei came back from running, she really went downstairs with her face to the sky and waited with Zhao Jinmai in the hall.

In order to prevent her eyes from becoming unfocused, she brought a pair of sunglasses, but she didn't wear them for the time being, and put them on her head.

The cameraman who followed the shooting was still the one from yesterday, surnamed Cai, and Wu Kaiyuan asked him to follow him to shoot some materials.

He drove the car of the program team, and after Li Yi and Wu Lei took a quick shower and came down, he pulled them straight to the FT area.

In the car, Wu Lei, who was sweating and taking a bath, was full of energy, looking out the window curiously, and evaluating every car on the road like a few treasures.

In the back seat, Liu Yifei put her arms around Zhao Jinmai's neck, and the two snuggled together to catch up on sleep, and they didn't wake up until they reached their destination.

The destination of Li Yi's group was the Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market in the FT area.

Xinfadi is the largest wholesale market for agricultural products in Beijing, and it used to be the first in the country.

It covers an area of more than 1,500 acres alone, and ordinary people may not be able to finish it in one day.

There are more than 5,000 fixed stalls here, and as long as it is agricultural and sideline products, you can buy them here.

Including Li Yi, this group is here for the first time.

The early morning farmers' market is the busiest time of the day.

Countless carts pulling vegetables, fruits, seeds, grains and oils, meat, aquatic products, non-staple foods, spices, poultry eggs, tea and other goods are busy unloading goods.

Minivans are busy loading goods onto trucks and transporting them to every corner of the city.

No one here pays attention to any celebrities, and after seeing Wu Lei and them, at most they just glanced at them curiously, and then continued to get busy with the work at hand.

Standing in the bustling crowd and cars, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai were completely sober.

"Wow!"

Zhao Jinmai looked at a truck full of green onions, and sighed dumbfounded: "I have never seen so many green onions in my life!" How many people do you have to eat this? ”

Li Yi smiled: "How many people are there in the capital?" Just this little green onion, it's not enough for each person to divide one. ”

With that, he stepped forward to the unloading place behind the car, picked up a bundle of green onions, and looked at it.

When the car boss saw him, he asked in Shandong dialect: "Authentic Zhangqiu green onions, can you get some?" ”

Li Yi smiled when he heard this, put down the green onion and said, "Isn't this Shouguang's sclerot?" How did it become a green onion? ”

The car boss was a little surprised when he called out the origin of the green onion after hearing him, and then laughed hehe: "You know how to do it?" It's Shouguang onion, let's have some? ”

Li Yi shook his head: "I want Zhang Qiu onion, do you have any friends?" ”

"Yes."

The car boss nodded and pointed him in the direction: "My little brother in the village pulled a car, give it over there!" You go and see. ”

"Thanks!"

Li Yi thanked him, then turned around and motioned to Wu Lei and them: "Let's go, go over there and have a look." ”

Wu Lei heard the conversation between him and the car boss, quickly followed, and asked curiously: "Brother Yi, how do you know that it is not Zhang Qiu Cong?" ”

Li Yi casually explained: "The variety of Zhangqiu green onion is called Dawutong, which can grow up to two meters and six five, and the green onion just now is at most one meter, and the leaves are thick and short and hard, which is a typical Shouguang sclerophyllion."

The skin of the hard leaf green onion is frost-resistant, and it is better to store it for a long time and transport it from afar, but the taste is not as good as the Zhangqiu green onion, and it is used more in ordinary restaurants, so I don't use it much. ”

"I see."

Wu Lei nodded as if he didn't understand: "I didn't expect to be so particular about buying green onions." ”

"If you don't pay attention to it, how can you achieve the ultimate taste?"

Soon, Li Yi took Wu Lei and them to find the car of Zhangqiu green onions.

The green onion is indeed Zhangqiu's, and the green onion is white, long and tall.

However, Li Yi didn't buy it, just left a contact information, and turned around and left.

He came here this time to familiarize himself with the environment in advance.

It's better first, so as not to be in a hurry when you go back to officially record the show.

Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai followed behind Li Yi and looked curiously.

The white shoes on their feet had been splashed with sewage on the ground, and there were a lot of mud spots.

But they didn't care.

It was the first time they had come in such a big farmer's market.

The informal environment and rugged style here make them very novel.

"What fresh tomatoes!"

Zhao Jinmai saw a cart full of tomatoes unloading the goods.

The basket of tomatoes is pink and plump, and it looks very good.

She couldn't help but step forward and ask her boss, "Can you buy two catties?" ”

Seeing her come forward to talk, Li Yi followed and asked her, "Do you want to buy tomatoes?" ”

"I want to buy some."

Zhao Jinmai nodded: "I like to eat tomatoes so much, these tomatoes look so fresh, I want to buy them back and eat them as fruits." ”

Li Yi glanced at the tomatoes, shook his head and said, "These are tomatoes for stir-frying, and they are not delicious to eat." ”

With that, he pulled Zhao Jinmai to the back of a big car next to him.

The cart was also unloading tomatoes, but the tomatoes were darker in color and had scars growing from the roots, some of which were cracked.

"Boss, bring me two catties."

Li Yi said hello to the car boss, then took a plastic bag by himself, picked a few tomatoes and put them in the bag.

The pot-bellied car owner was greeting the customer who drove over to load the goods, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him at all.

After Li Yi finished loading, the car boss casually weighed him and quoted a price: "Fifteen." ”

After paying, Li Yi took out a tomato with scars on the roots from the bag, and when he broke it gently, the tomato cracked, revealing a whitish, sandy flesh inside, and a seed sac wrapped with golden seeds like jelly.

Half of it was handed to Zhao Jinmai, and half was handed to Liu Yifei, and Li Yi signaled: "This is a tomato from the Western Regions Province, it is sweeter, try it." ”

Zhao Jinmai took the tomato, lowered his head and took a bite, and his eyes suddenly widened: "Oh! It's so sweet! ”
