Chapter 434 ago
Sun Yanhong came here in high spirits this time.
The popularity of lobster restaurants in the city has exceeded many people’s expectations.
And by the way, the local aquatic products in Chenwangzhuang are also extremely popular.
After all, the lobster shop not only offers one type of crayfish, but also other dishes made from local aquatic products purchased from Chenwangzhuang.
It had only been more than a week, and the money was so huge that she, who had seen the world, was so excited that she couldn't help but come back to Chen Ling to show off to him with the latest share.
"How about it, am I more reliable than that Lao Tian?"
Sun Yanhong squatted in the yard, helping Chen Ling and his wife pack medicinal materials, while raising her brows proudly.
"His second-rate dealers are outsiders after all. As for me, I can share the money with you without cheating our fellow villagers. What a good thing."
"You have something to say. Come on, you were shouting about a big deal just now, and now you’re boasting about yourself, aren’t you targeting my family again?”
Chen Ling glanced at her sideways, feeling that this woman was lowering his guard and laying the groundwork for the next discussion.
"Ahem, where can I say that? You just misunderstood me too much."
Sun Yanhong coughed slightly in embarrassment and said to Wang Susu next to her: "Brother and sister, you said that I am evil. Are you thinking? Your family is so smart, I don’t dare to fool anyone, you count the money, I don’t dare to lose a penny from him.”
Wang Susu raised his head and rushed. She smiled and didn't answer.
On the other hand, Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun were at the root of the east room wall, accompanying Wang Zhenzhen and Ruirui to watch birds, and looking back here from time to time. It was obvious that the Chen Ling family had such an extra income, and The amount of income is quite surprising.
However, they were surprised, but their family background was good and their horizons were good. In addition, they got along well with Chen Ling's family, so there was no jealousy.
"Sister Mei, don't be distracted. Don't let the scorpion crawl into your pants and sting you."
Seeing that Qin Qiumei has been listening to Chen Ling and the others talking with her ears. , Wang Zhenzhen quickly reminded.
“Oops.”
“Why do you girls always play with these bugs?”
But the little kids caught scorpions from nowhere, made a circle with stones, put the scorpions in, like fighting crickets, and poked them with a straw pole to let them fight with each other.
Fighting scorpions is indeed different from fighting crickets.
Scorpions have a characteristic.
This thing is divided into families.
One nest of scorpions is a big family, but another nest of scorpions is not. It has no relationship at all.
And when the two sides meet, they will fight.
The strong scorpion will eat the weak scorpion.
But there are always scorpions that are too strong. After winning a battle, they still have enough energy to run out quickly, either by following the cracks in the stone, or by climbing over the stone in three strokes.
The little ones have long been accustomed to this and are not afraid at all.
Even Ruirui is not afraid.
Crouching next to Wang Zhenzhen, I felt a sense of joy watching the fierce fight scene.
"Zhenzhen, pinch the scorpion's poisonous needle before playing with it. Don't scare your two sisters."
Wang Susu frowned and shouted.
"Oh, I know."
Wang Zhenzhen said yes, but in fact she was reluctant to pinch the scorpion's poisonous needle.
Together with a group of little children, they whispered together: "Let's catch the scorpion in the stone trough, otherwise the scorpion will not be ferocious after pinching the poisonous needle, and it will die quickly, which is not fun at all."
" Okay, little aunt, we listen to you.”
Rui Rui also started babbling and yelling, her mouth full of saliva.
Qin Qiumei and Qin Qiumei quickly followed him and wiped him clean, while paying attention to the little guy not to catch the scorpion.
……
"That's the thing. They are jealous of how much money our lobster shop makes. Some come to the shop to eat and steal, and some try to figure out a rough recipe and open a shop or stall. However, the business of our shop is not as prosperous as ours. I heard from people that the taste is not good. It was a lot worse.
They had no other choice, so they asked me to join them. They wanted to work with us, which meant opening a chain store.
How about I open this store every day from 10 am onwards? People come around one o'clock, and people still don't disperse until three or four o'clock in the night. If there are many people, they have to queue up.
In the past few days, people from the provincial capital have come to talk to me, but I still want to go. I ignored it, and now I just want to try to cooperate with my own reliable old buddy. For example, the guy I brought here to look after the dog last time is Yu Bangjin from the instant noodle factory. "
Sun Yanhong is fine. He avoided talking about it, just like chatting in the yard, and talked about it.
"What I mean is, I want to ask Fugui what your opinion is..."
Chen Ling grinned when he heard this: "I don't understand business, and I won't get involved. You can do whatever you like, chain store It’s just a chain, it’s just a branch, I can’t worry about that.”
“No, I mean, you gave me the recipe, and I’m counting on you to give me a new recipe. When opening a chain store, you have to add more flavors and specialties, otherwise over time, someone will eventually figure out the recipe for crayfish.
It is also important that people recognize us for the wine from your farm.
Without you escorting me, where would I have the confidence..."
Sun Yanhong, this is the truth.
She is not afraid of others coming to make trouble. There is chaos outside now, even in the city. If you go out for a walk after dark, you can see people fighting everywhere on the roadside. Her friends can eat more and are not afraid of this.
I am afraid that others will come seriously and use formal means to steal her business.
"Oh, you are now trying to make crayfish, right?"
Chen Ling thought about it, there is nothing mysterious about this thing, a chef with real skills , try it a few times, and you can figure out how to do it.
"Okay, I'll write a new menu for you, with some new tricks and new ways of eating.
You can take these things out slowly. This thing is first to keep guests, and then I just used it to compete for customers.”
When Sun Yanhong heard this, she was happy and surprised. She thought she was going to have to talk to her sincerely, but she didn’t expect it to be given to her so easily.
"Okay, okay, originally I used the wine from your farm as a big weapon, but you refused to make more wine, so I have to save some and take it out..."
" I feel relieved when you write a new menu.”
"By the way, I drove here and brought something. Should I leave it here in the village or on the farm?"
Chen Ling laughed and said, "Just give money if you come. We are all partners." "What else are you buying?"
"Look at what you said, I have siblings and a baby, it's not good for me to be empty-handed."
Sun Yanhong can see now, as long as she doesn't mess around. If you interact with this guy in a serious manner, you will feel very comfortable getting along with him.
It can also be seen that Chen Ling cares about his family.
Therefore, Wang Susu was always smiling and saying nice things.
Wang Susu is not very good at talking to people like her. She always feels very slick and fake, which makes her feel nervous for no reason.
But since she is now doing some business with Chen Ling, she naturally treats him as a normal customer.
When she walked out and saw the things in Sun Yanhong's car, she was even more shocked: "Oh, there are so many things, it's such a hot summer day."
These big and small bags There were things to eat and things to play, and some of them looked like beef. It must be because they heard that the Chen Ling family likes to eat local yellow beef.
The food can fill the small water tower.
Sun Yanhong smiled when she heard this: "This does seem like a lot, but a small half of it is not for us people to eat. I saw a lot of rotten meat left in the butcher shop, so I bought it for Hei Wa and the others."
Hey guys, in addition to things for adults and children, there are also things for dogs.
Wang Susu couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, her eyes showing surprise.
Chen Ling was quite speechless beside him. This woman was so good at getting her way.
If you were to go to someone else's house and bring something like this, they would definitely be unhappy if you brought something like this.
But Chen Ling’s family likes dogs and feeds many dogs. Those guys’ stomachs are like bottomless pits. If they hadn’t hunted outside for food, feeding the dogs would cost a lot of money every day. Overhead.
Sun Yanhong brought meat to feed the dogs, which was exactly what the family wanted.
After returning to the farm for a while.
In addition to writing a few new menu items for this woman, Chen Ling also asked her to take away more than a dozen jars of the persimmon wine brewed last autumn.
Of course, she paid for it. However, this persimmon wine is quite strong. It will definitely be enough to put it in the lobster shop.
In the next two days, the old men of Zhao Dahai's family were busy building thatched houses on the slope.
It took a lot of manpower, and Qin Qiumei came here all day long, but Zhao Dahai and his children were all here, so she couldn't help, so by the way, she would help Wang Susu take care of the baby, and they would stay together in the village. Let’s play at the other two’s houses for a while.
Chen Ling naturally had the opportunity to be lazy.
He took this opportunity to take the dog into the mountains on the pretext of gathering medicine.
When he arrived in the mountains, in addition to collecting herbs, he also went to the miasma mountain and the earth dragons that were active around the wetlands.
It’s just this trip, Tulong has seen it.
In a very hidden part of the wetland, a large nest was built. In fact, it is no different from a bird's nest. It is a nest made of grass. The eggs inside are like snake eggs. They are about three It looks like ten pieces.
Chen Ling is quite satisfied with this.
This proves that the surrounding environment is indeed getting better, and alligators can quickly adapt and reproduce.
But there are still no clues and new discoveries in the Miasma Valley.
Ancient tombs and the like, he is not professional in this area and can’t tell anything.
On the way home, we encountered a group of jackals again.
This group of guys has been too active recently, and it seems that it is the breeding season.
Extremely excited and restless.
Chen Ling didn't bother with them much, nor did he hurt them much. He just caught another male jackal and threw it into the cave, then let the dog drive them away and continued on his way.
After two days of leisure, it has finally entered the fifth month of the lunar calendar.
It is the fifth month of the lunar calendar.
On the first day of May, I felt that the atmosphere in the village was very different.
There was no one at the beginning or end of the village, and it immediately became lively.
It’s time to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival.
This year’s Dragon Boat Festival is unusual.
The county is going to hold a dragon boat race in their village, which is treating it as a temple fair.
Let the whole village feel bright in their faces.
It was just the first day of the Lunar New Year and they were busy and busy making arrangements, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
The reservoir and Laohewan are also full of aunts and ladies from the village, searching for and picking the big and thick reed leaves in the reed swamps beside the shallow water.
The little children followed, pulled out the reed buds, put the mandrel inside into their mouths and played with the whistles.
There are also people who catch fish and shrimp.
The ladies were too lazy to care about them and just chatted leisurely. Now they pulled over this one to have a look, and then they pulled over that one to have a look. When they saw it was wide and good, they just gently lowered it. As soon as it was lifted, the petiole was simply disconnected from the reed stem.
Chen Ling walked around the reservoir. There were many people here.
Go to Laohewan, there are also many people gathering reed leaves here.
"Third Aunt, are you also here to prepare the reed leaves for making rice dumplings?"
"Yes, prepare them early. There will be a big scene in our village this year, and there will definitely be many relatives coming. .”
“That’s right.”
"Fugui, don't you pick more reed leaves at home?"
"Pick, put the horses in a circle first, and then go for a walk."
Chen Ling originally thought about taking out the reed leaves from Dongtian. , but there were too many people at this time and it was inconvenient, so we had to wait.
Anyway, he came out to let the horses go.
There are many lotus roots growing here in Laohe Bend.
At this time, it is the blooming season of lotus roots. The white lotus flowers and goose-yellow stamens look particularly enchanting against the green lotus leaves.
There are also large flocks of water birds lingering in the distance.
The view is very good.
Chen Ling let the little green horse roam freely. He found a place under the big tree by the river, spread some grass and lay down comfortably. He rested his head on the protruding roots of the old tree and closed his eyes comfortably. Eye.
Until the women finished picking the reed leaves, their voices faded away.
Chen Ling suddenly felt his vision go dark, his nose felt a little itchy, and he couldn't help but sneeze twice in a row.
When he opened his eyes and took a look, he suddenly laughed angrily. It turned out that his kite had spread its wings wide and stood on the tree trunk on the side of his head, as if it was blocking him from the sun.
But in fact, this stupid bird is not so kind.
I don’t know where it was at this time. It had just finished taking a bath. Its feathers were all wet. It was basking in the sun with its wings spread out.
“Okay, Erbaldy, you can play tricks on people, right?”
Chen Ling reached out and flicked it on the forehead.
The two bald man shouted "Gah" and jumped away hastily with his wings spread, but his light yellow eyes showed a very happy look. He tilted his head and looked at Chen Ling, and then looked at Chen Ling again. Come and play with him.
Chen Ling reached out and played with it for a few times. When he saw that there was no one in Laohewan, he stood up, took off his shoes and clothes, and jumped into the water, ready to have a good time.
Seeing this, the little green horse in the distance also spread its hooves and ran over, roaring into the water to have fun.
The two bald man stood on the stone by the river. After drying his wings, he suddenly rose into the sky and crashed into a wheat field.
Then he grabbed a prey, as if asking for credit, hovered over Laohewan for a while, and threw it on the river bank.
When Chen Ling came up from playing happily in the river with the little green horse, he found that four old yellow quails were already lying quietly on the river bank.
"Hey, the two bald guys did a great job, and they even knew how to pick the old yellow quail to catch."
Praise this big stupid bird.
Chen Ling did not forget to take out the reed leaves, then mounted his horse, hung the prey and reed leaves on the side of the little green horse, called the falcon and flew home together.
After returning home, you should brush the reed leaves a little, because the backs of some leaves are dirty and insects will fall on them.
Although the one in Dongtian is cleaner, Wang Susu and his wife don’t know.
And scald the washed reed leaves in boiling water, so that the leaves will become pliable and not easily damaged.
This reed leaf originally had two or three indentations on it, which were formed during the growth process, so it is not afraid of folding.
Don’t worry if the reed leaves are dried, they can still be used, and the fragrance will not be lost after making rice dumplings.
The reed leaves are relatively narrow and can only wrap triangular rice dumplings. It is a bit difficult to wrap four-corner rice dumplings.
Fortunately, there is an old man in the family, which is like having a treasure.
Chen Ling and his wife couldn't handle it, so Gao Xiulan solved it.
In addition to the short and thick triangular rice dumplings, there are also tall, thin and even long-legged rice dumplings, plump and strong ax rice dumplings, and it is said that after being cooked, they can be hung on the hooks of mosquito nets to repel mosquitoes. closed rice dumplings.
The old lady knows how to make bags.
Even Chen Ling said she could try making rice dumplings with lotus leaves, and the old lady could do it.
The materials used to make the rice dumplings also come in many varieties.
There are red beans, peanut kernels, red dates, and bean paste...
The most commonly eaten rice dumplings every year are red dates, red beans, and peanuts.
There are also white rice dumplings with no ingredients at all.
Like Chen Ling's family, when May comes, every household in the village is not busy doing anything else. They stay at home cooking reed leaves and making rice dumplings, waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival.
Many people even say that they start to receive relatives two days before the fifth day of May.
