Li Qingyun brought all fruits, beer, white wine, vegetable skewers, meat skewers, and a full set of barbecue equipment, and asked Zheng Xinyan to drive a pickup truck and wait directly to the other side of the river, while he accompanied his wife, carrying gold coins and copper coins, slowly for a walk across the river.

The sun came out today, and there were surprisingly many tourists. The villagers on both sides of the road set up small stalls, selling cigarettes, melon seeds, dried fruits and vegetables... Whether it was farm specialties or wholesale drinks from outside, they all put them out.The business is very good. Looking at the happy faces of the villagers who set up the stalls, you can tell that they are making a lot of money.

Mayor Wu came very early today, bringing his deputy secretary Xu Zhenggang and his wife with him. When Li Qingyun saw them, they seemed to have just come out of Qinghe Residence, and they should go to apologize. Seeing how his sister was standing at the door to see off the guests, a preliminary understanding should be reached up.

"Qing Yun, why don't you go for a walk with your wife? I brought Comrades Lao Xu and Zhang over here to apologize. They are very sincere. Sister Qing He has forgiven them. However, the punishment for Lao Zhang in the organization has not changed, and he was dismissed on the spot. , Thinking about past mistakes at home. Sun Li, the principal of the kindergarten, has been fired, and a new principal is on the way. If you have a suitable candidate, you might as well recommend one, and our town government will give priority to it.”

Mayor Wu was afraid that Li Qingyun would not understand, so he explained it again.Xu Zhenggang's eyes were red, and he nodded and laughed in a very low posture. He didn't know if it was an eye disease or something, but he looked teary, not to mention how awkward it was.His wife, Deputy Director Zhang, had two slap marks on her face, which she probably slapped herself when she was apologizing.

Killing is nothing more than a nod, the other party did this, and Mayor Wu pleaded for mercy, Li Qingyun didn't want to pursue anything more.

"Okay, I see. Why, didn't you go to see Secretary Lin?" Now that they met, Li Qingyun stopped and said a few more words, but still ignored Xu Zhenggang and his wife.

Mayor Wu said: "Just now I called and asked. Secretary Lin said that he had crossed the river and was walking by the bridge construction site. We were going to find Secretary Lin. I seemed to see your pickup truck crossing the river just now. I thought it was you who drove it."

"It was driven by my friend Lao Zheng. He is going to have a barbecue on the west side of the river. Let him take a seat first. Let's go across the river together. If you are free, ask Secretary Lin to come over and have a barbecue together?" Li Qingyun invited with a smile.

"I have no objection, but it depends on how Secretary Lin arranges it." Mayor Wu said and followed, but he glanced at Xu Zhenggang's wife.

This woman is stubborn, doesn't understand the meaning, so she just keeps up.But Xu Zhenggang, who had been paying attention to Mayor Wu's demeanor, understood it. He stopped his wife and asked her not to follow him. He could go to any place to play, or go home, as long as he didn't get in the way.

The woman was so angry that she pouted, but she didn't dare to provoke Xu Zhenggang at this moment. She muttered something, twisted her buttocks, turned and left.

The few people walking in front, no one seemed to notice that there was one person missing. They talked and laughed all the way, walked across the pontoon bridge, and reached the other side of the river.The green grass on the river bank seems to be trampled out of shape by tourists, and the muddy path is smooth and bright, mixed with grass leaves, but it is not slippery.

The small businesses on the east bank of the river are occupied by people from Lijiazhai, and at most one or two relatives from the next village can squeeze in, but on the west bank of the river, it is more complicated. There are people from Chenjiagou, Xiaotangzhuang, and even more. Merchants from the market town came to set up stalls.

"Candied haws, sweet and crunchy candied haws are cheap, a big piece, a small [-] cents!"

"Stir-fried jelly, authentic craftsmanship, ancestral secret recipe, to prevent hunger and relieve heat, no money if it is not good!"

"Bingtang Sydney, sweet and ruthless, come and taste it..."

It’s a bit noisy, but there is enough space for tourists to pass freely. Those who come by car will not be too congested. If you drive slowly, you can pass smoothly.

The prices of snacks here are similar to those in the market, and much cheaper than those in other cities, so tourists from other places are willing to pay for them.For example, grain gourds. In big cities outside, a bunch of candied haws costs three, four, or even five yuan.Here, only fifty cents or one yuan is needed.

Hawthorns are everywhere, and there are a few in any forest. In autumn, when they are ripe, if you want more, you can go to the mountains to pick them. They are all free. If you store some, they will be enough for a year.When making it, you just need to roll some boiled syrup, and it will become candied haws. In the eyes of the locals, the cost of this product is extremely low, and if you charge [-] cents, it is a lot of money.

Therefore, some exquisite stall owners sprinkle some sesame seeds or melon seeds after rolling the syrup, and some also mix a few petals of oranges to make the finished product look better and attract customers' attention.

Lin Weiguo, a high-ranking county official, and his driver just happened to be wandering over from the bridge construction site. Mayor Wu and his party went up to meet them and chatted a few gossips, as if they had an inspection mission.Li Qingyun didn't want to participate either, he just said to have a barbecue near the ditch in front, let them finish their work and go there to find themselves.

Barbecue, the more people there are, the more lively it is, but the premise is that the wife likes it. After all, today's barbecue is specially prepared for the wife, and other people stand aside.But when he arrived at the barbecue site, Yang Yunu suddenly felt that it was too quiet. The road that tourists must pass is hundreds of meters, surrounded by dense grass and vines, wild flowers are spread like a carpet, wild bees burst out, butterflies are fluttering, and humans sit on the wild flowers and play with barbecue Furnace, a bit of a feeling of destroying nature.

"Brother Zheng, why did you choose this location? If it's on the side of the road, maybe we can also sell meat skewers! It would be fun to eat and sell while playing. Before the fire is up, let's change places. Let's go." Yang Yunu thought it was too quiet and too few people, so it was boring.

"There are ground vegetables in the grass. I want to do two things at the same time. We are all cultivators, why don't we join in the fun? We just need to live comfortably. Besides, we are not short of money. What kind of meat skewers are we selling? Li Brother, don’t you think so?” Zheng Xinyan couldn’t bear Yang Yunu’s dissatisfied gaze, and immediately called for help.

"That's right, we're not short of money, so we can cook and play by ourselves..."

Before Li Qingyun could finish speaking, Yang Yunu shook his arm and begged, "Husband, aren't you hungry? I just want to roast and play, but I don't really want to eat."

"Okay, it's all up to you." Li Qingyun wrapped himself in, and since his wife liked it, he waved his hand and shouted, "Old Zheng, change seats, we'll set up a stall to sell barbecue."

With a bitter face, Zheng Xinyan put the smokeless fruit charcoal he had just brought back to the barbecue grill, and moved it directly to the side of the road.It is far away from the river bank, and after another turn, you will reach the mountain trail. There are not many stalls here, but it is still the only way for tourists.

Li Qingyun carried sundries such as meat skewers, Yang Yunu took a small stool from the back of the pickup truck, the three of them worked together, and the relocation was completed in a few minutes. The charcoal will emit a small flame.

Yang Yunu was in a hurry, divided more than ten skewers of mutton, and roasted them on the rack. However, there was a flame at this time, and after a few roasts, there was a burnt smell, and the edges of the meat pieces were blackened, and the whole piece of meat turned black. out of color, very ugly.

"Oh, the fire is too big, why did it burn all of a sudden?" Yang Yunu pouted depressedly.

"You are too impatient. Originally, charcoal does not have an open flame, but it just ignited at this time, and it happened to be in the wind, and a small flame was blown out. It was overtaken by your skewered meat. It's no wonder it didn't burn." Li Qingyun As he said that, he picked up a small fan and fanned a few pieces of charcoal with uncertain flames a few times. After the initial fire energy was vented, the black layer on the outside disappeared, and it became red, and there were no tiny flames. Start stable.

Li Qingyun distributed more than ten meat skewers to his wife for her to practice, while he took the burnt meat skewers, cut off the burnt edges with scissors, brushed with a layer of oil, and slowly cooked them on the fire. Roast and turn it frequently, after a while, the rich meaty aroma will replace the original burnt smell.

Seeing that it is half cooked, start to sprinkle salt, and finally sprinkle cumin powder and chili powder. Since it is marinated meat, sprinkle these three things, the taste is enough.After spreading the powdered ingredients, Li Qingyun found that a group of tourists had gathered in front of the stall, asking curiously about the price.

"Boss, your barbecue smells really good. What kind of ingredients are you putting in? How much is a skewer?"

"I like to eat grilled vegetable skewers. Why do you only roast meat and not vegetables? But is your mutton real? Now the fake mutton is made of sheep fat brushed with duck meat. Most people can't eat it, but the price is poor. How many times!"

Li Qingyun really doesn't know how to answer this question. The beef, mutton and vegetables used today are all produced in a small space, so the taste is naturally good, but the price is also sky-high, because every once in a while, the small space needs to absorb a lot of jade and jade. A kind of spiritual creature that maintains the growth of animals and plants in the space.How much is a large emerald worth?How much is a large bag of jade worth?Even with a calculator in front of him, Li Qingyun couldn't figure it out.

The last piece of jade obtained from the Burmese public sale last time was still in the basement of the villa. At this time, Li Qingyun was already thinking about where to get a large amount of jade or jade.Although there are more than 1 million deposits, he always feels that it is far from enough.

"Honey, how much do you think this meat skewer should be sold for?" Li Qingyun had no choice but to ask the wife who caused the incident.

"Ten yuan, all ten yuan. I had a good time today, so let's sell it at the lowest price. Just think about it." Yang Yunu knew that these ingredients are not simple, thinking that ordinary meat skewers are so big, they can be sold for four yuan or so. Five yuan, it's really cheap to sell ten yuan by yourself.

But the tourists don't think so. When they heard the price, their faces changed immediately, and they said angrily: "You are robbing! Ten yuan a bunch? We haven't seen such expensive ones in big cities. In this tourist area, there is still a lot of money. When it develops, some people want to slaughter customers! Complaints, I must complain, if no one cares about complaints, I will post them on the Internet!"

As the tourists spoke, they raised their cameras and took a few photos at the booth. They even thought about the title, calling them the most unscrupulous kebab couple in the tourist area of ​​Qinglong Town.

Li Qingyun is too lazy to talk to them, what he likes to do, since the start of the farmhouse tourism project, he has appeared on the Internet frequently, what is the most low-key farmer, the most unscrupulous farmer, the owner of the mysterious Haidongqing... But Li Qingyun has been working all day Nesting in the mountain village and not going out did not affect my life.

"A bunch of blind bastards, give up your seat, and eat junk food if you don't think it's too expensive! Boss, I want all the grilled meat skewers, and you can pay as much as you want!" Amidst the noisy crowd, a A handsome young man in his 20s, wearing ordinary clothes but with an unusual temperament.With a bad mouth, he didn't care about other people's angry eyes. Holding a handful of brand new red banknotes in his hand, he handed them to Li Qingyun respectfully.
