Chapter 202 The vegetable vendor comes to the door
At the vegetable base, Li Shuanzhu and Shunzi Fanjing started attending driving school. They first learned about traffic regulations and went there four times a week, all in the morning. The subsequent driving skills training required an appointment in advance, and Li Shuanzhu also planned to make an appointment at that time.
Although it’s hot in the afternoon, it doesn’t delay the work in the fields.
After all, the company spends money on training, and you benefit from it. And there are only two of you there, so it would be unjustifiable if work is delayed because of this.
Before Li Shuanzhu and Li Shuanzhu got their driver's licenses, the transportation of vegetables produced in the vegetable fields still relied on renting small trucks. There are many transportation professionals in Tonghezi Village, and their service attitude is very good and they are always on call.
The system of taking turns on duty at night continued in the vegetable field, but fortunately, those thieves who stole the forest frogs never appeared again.
No one can figure out how many wood frogs there are in the field, but these big-bellied guys have a very good appetite. Even the remaining team has suppressed the number of insects to the lowest limit.
The sixteen acres of vegetable land is filled with various green crops. From a distance, it looks like a prosperous scene.
Although it did not attract the attention of the villagers in Tonghezi Village, there were still people who were interested.
Some passing vegetable vendors were attracted by the eye-catching greenery when passing by this field. Out of professional habit, they ran to the wire fence to look at the vegetables in the field.
The vegetable seller has been doing this all year round, and his vision is naturally sharper than that of ordinary people. He almost immediately noticed that the vegetables here were extraordinary and of high quality. So he went to the people in the field and made a purchase request.
However, they were all rejected by the staff at the vegetable base without hesitation.
On this day, the cow in the sky attracted another person, a tall man and a short man.
The short man seemed to be the leader of the two, with a short and thick build and an obvious scar next to his left eye. He and the tall man dragged each other's hands across the ditch on the roadside and approached the vegetable patch beside the barbed wire fence.
The outermost is the leek field. These tall and vigorous thin-leaf leeks are green in color and naturally a breeze blows by, bringing a gentle fragrance.
The short man's eyes lit up, he picked up the barbed wire, stretched his neck and looked carefully, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
Looking further south, there are Chinese cabbage, rapeseed, Chinese cabbage, radish seedlings, etc. growing in the fields. They are all growing strong, energetic, and bright in color.
"The vegetables grown here are pretty good, why haven't I noticed them before?" said the tall man next to him.
"Maybe they are the old vegetable farmers who are new to the land. This generation has been in short supply for a long time. Not to mention, they are really good at this kind of food. By the way, Tianshun Restaurant is very dissatisfied with our food recently. What if
Once this is collected, they will have nothing to talk about." The short man made a calculation.
"Hey, what are you doing?" A young man's voice came from the field, and then a ten-year-old boy came over with a wary look in his eyes.
"Don't get me wrong, we are in the vegetable business, and we are here to take a look at your vegetables." When the short man saw someone coming, he quickly explained that it would be bad if people misunderstood his intentions.
"What's going on with Shitou'er?" A young man of similar age walked out from the other side of the vegetable field.
"Hey, Jianping, they said the vegetable vendor came to see our food." Shitou'er turned to Jianping and said.
"Young man, did you grow this vegetable?" the short man asked. He felt a little strange. He originally thought that the person who grew such a good vegetable would be an old farmer with a weathered face, but he didn't expect that it was two young men who appeared in front of him.
boy.
"Yes, there are others besides us. What do you want to do? Don't hang around here. It's easy for others to misunderstand." Shitou'er said with a slight frown.
"Haha, we have no other intention, we just want to buy your vegetables." The short man was a little impatient when he saw the other party, so he simply stopped talking and went straight to the topic.
"We don't sell the food here. We supply it exclusively to big hotels in the city." Jianping refused.
There have been several groups of such vegetable sellers during this period. Li Shuanzhu asked the vegetable field staff to unify their words, saying that the vegetables here are the production base of an agricultural product company, and all the products are exclusively for big hotels in the city and are not sold outside.
.
"Hey, don't worry, the price we offer is very high." The short man said quickly. He thought that the other party's rhetoric was just a way to raise the price. What he said was exclusive to big hotels was just a cover. He has seen this kind of thing many times.
.
"Oh, the price is high, how high can it be?" Shitou'er asked with a sarcastic tone.
"You are new here, maybe you don't know. I, Pang Guishan, am famous for my vegetable business in this area of a hundred miles away. Just ask others and you will know. My Lao Pang's price for collecting vegetables is always the lowest.
You're kind. If someone bids higher than me, you can come to me anytime and anywhere to settle the account, and I'll compensate you for the difference." The short man patted his chest and signed himself up, with a rather contented tone.
"Yes, our brother Pang is the most trustworthy, and all the vegetable growers in the south of the city are willing to do business with us." The tall man also helped. I think your vegetables are indeed good, and they can be priced as first-class products.
Well, let’s take this leek as an example. Others can give me up to 60 cents, but I can give up to 70 cents. How about that, that’s enough. I want other dishes too, but I have to get closer to see them clearly.
." The short man said rather boldly.
Shitou'er and Jianping looked at each other, curled their lips, and turned to leave.
"Hey, little brother, don't leave. The price is not low anymore. Don't you know the market conditions? How about we discuss it again? Seventy-five cents can't be higher. How about it?" said the short man.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, he hurriedly shouted loudly.
Shitou'er stopped, turned around, and glanced at the vegetable vendor as if he were a fool.
"You're not mistaken, seventy-five cents. All the vegetables grown here are green and organic. Do you understand?" Shitou'er said disdainfully. Who doesn't know that the purchase price of the farmers is very low by these vegetable vendors?
When I go to town, I sell them at a high price.
"Hehehe, little brother, you can just fool a layman with this thing, and you can use it to tell my old Pang. These days, I have seen a lot of natural and healthy, green and organic food, but in the end it's not
Make a gimmick, hype a concept or something. The products here are so strong and strong in color, and the cucumbers over there are so thick and long that they can almost catch up with a child's arm. Really
All the green organic vegetables are grown on farm fertilizers and cannot be treated with pesticides. How can it be like this? In fact, you know much better than me about what is going on, right?" The short man heard the name of organic vegetables.
Boss, couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Pang is right, little brother, there is no such store after this village. You have to think clearly. If you want to sell it to the farmer's market in the city, I advise you not to bother.
Now that the oil price is so high, you might even be fined on the transportation road.
Even if you arrive at the place smoothly, do you think the gate of the wet market is easy to enter? Stall fees, sanitation fees, and parking fees can peel off two layers of skin for you. In the end, there is not much profit at all. It is better to sell it to us.
It's practical and worry-free." The tall man also gave advice.
"Let's go, don't talk about seventy-five cents, we won't sell them for seventy-five cents. All the vegetables here have places to go, so don't worry about it." Shitou'er didn't want to talk nonsense with the vegetable seller anymore, so he turned around and pulled Jianping away.
On the edge of the leek field.
"Bah, you don't know how to praise me. I won't ask you to accept me anymore. It's also...naturally green. Who am I to blame?" The short man saw the two walking away, cursed, and left with the tall man angrily.
He crossed the barbed wire fence and walked over the ditch toward a small truck parked on the side of the road.
Two days later, Li Youran and Chen Chuanzhong sat on the sofa in the office again. Chef Chen brought a fine porcelain tea can, which naturally contained newly made green tea.
The tea set has been prepared, including an electric kettle and two transparent glasses. Of course, there is also special water.
When the water boils, Chef Chen lifts up the kettle and starts making tea, explaining along with the actions. First, he pours water into the glass, first to clean it, and secondly to warm it.
Then he took a few more tea leaves from the jar, put them into two glasses respectively, and used the "whirlpool pouring method" to fill the cups with about a quarter of the water level. This is to warm the tea buds and allow the dry tea to absorb water and expand, making it the next step.
Lay the foundation for brewing.
Then lift the kettle high and let the water pour down. Repeat it three times to make the tea leaves stir in the water. This brewing technique is commonly known as Phoenix Three Nods. Phoenix Three Nods is not only for the purpose of making tea, but also for display.
The graceful posture of the brewer is a reflection of traditional Chinese etiquette. The three-headed statue bows to the guests, which shows respect for the guests and also expresses respect for the tea.
Li Youran looked at Chef Chen's skillful and smooth movements. In fact, there were only a few simple practical procedures, which were not as complicated as some tea art performances. He was already feeling appreciative. Tea drinking is an art, and this is not true at all.
Fake.
After brewing, a cup of green and clear tea soup with lifelike tea leaves was handed to Li Youran. He played with it carefully. The cup was misty, the green juice was crystal clear, and the buds and leaves were tall and intertwined.
Bring it to your mouth, blow on it, and sip it gently. You will feel the fragrance of tea, as rich as orchid, and your mouth will be filled with saliva.
"Good tea." Li Youran praised.
"It is really good tea. The tea soup is clear but not turbid, the aroma is fresh and mellow, long but not heavy, and the taste is fresh but not dull. It is the best." Chen Chuanzhong took a sip and also praised it greatly.
Good tea paired with good water and professional brewing techniques are naturally extraordinary.
Compared with the lazy tea that Li Youran is used to drinking, I don't know how high it is.
The tea produced in the space is indeed of high quality. It seems that we can plant more in the future. Li Youran thought.
