City People [Rebirth]

At this time, Lu Jia and Monk Weidong had already walked to the back of the venue.

The stalls of the Brother Farmers Cooperative are not big, and the location is a bit off. There are not only many types of stalls on both sides, but also the colors are very beautiful and eye-catching, so this stall has few customers compared. Shang Weidong Looking at Tudou for a while, no one else stayed.

At the booth was a young man with glasses. Seeing Shang Weidong’s interesting look at He Tuo, he hurriedly introduced: “This potato is a kind of baked potato. We have improved the variety many times. Although The inheritance is not yet stable, but more than half of these potatoes have been produced."

Shang Weidong fell in love with their peppers, eggplants and other vegetables.He was probably very satisfied with this restaurant, so he looked at it very carefully, as if sinking into it, maybe he was still thinking about various recipes in his mind, and Lu Jia didn't bother him, looking at other types, but at their booth Saw dried osmanthus in a small bottle.

Lu Jia is very sensitive when he sees flowers now, and the recipe about osmanthus flowers immediately appeared in his mind. He picked up the bottle and smelled it, and a strong fragrance hit him, as if it had come to the season of osmanthus flowers in August. Candied sweet-scented osmanthus, sweet-scented osmanthus and so on lined up in Lu Jia's mind.

Why didn't I feel that I was a foodie before, Lu Jia wondered, but still couldn't help but think of the taste of sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed with small balls.He doesn't like to eat glutinous rice balls, and he doesn't drink alcohol, but he prefers to eat rice dumplings with various flavors.

Lu Jia doesn't like drinking because alcohol hurts the body and the stability of the body.Lu Jia likes all kinds of extreme sports. Sometimes a cramp or a shake of his hand may kill him.Cigarettes were better, anyway, Lu Jia didn't smoke very often, and when he smoked the most, he only had one pack every two weeks.

Lu Jia chatted with the stall owner.

"Your sweet-scented osmanthus is very fragrant, did you grow it yourself?"

"Yes, we planted fruit trees from a mountain, and planted sweet-scented osmanthus, roses, peach blossoms, etc., to make scented tea and incense."

"Where is your agricultural and sideline product base?"

"It's right next to the national highway. We have a large area of ​​land and a mountain there. The environment there is very good, and the transportation is convenient at night."

The young stall owner was very talkative, and Lu Jia learned a lot of information from him.This brother farmer cooperative is from Zhuangjiagou Village, Lancheng. It used to be a poor village. It has been living on food subsidies and guarding the poor fields. Later, the new national road was built, and it happened to attract them. The Lancheng government sent a poverty alleviation working group. Over the years, Zhuangjiagouzi Village was guided to take the road of ecological agriculture, established a brother farmer cooperative, and acquired a large piece of land and a mountain. Over the years, they gradually got rid of poverty and began to become rich.

The stall owner wearing glasses is a rare college student in Zhuangjiagouzi Village. He passed the college entrance examination for the Agricultural University and went back to work in the cooperative in the village after graduation. It was he who insisted on having the cooperative come to the promotion meeting.

This is a partner that can be deeply cooperated, Lu Jia thought.If it is a well-developed agricultural and sideline product base, they may not cooperate with Hungry, because the demand for Hungry is small at this stage, and they may not be willing to deal with it. The idea of ​​meat, willing to cooperate with small catering enterprises.

After Shang Weidong finished reading these products, Lu Jia and the others moved forward.After that, they took a fancy to a mushroom specialty store and a meat specialty store, and they left their contact information, and they will go on-site inspection after the promotion meeting is over.

This on-site observation is mainly to check whether the production environment is clean and hygienic and meets the standards, whether the production personnel pay attention to hygiene, etc., and also to check the conditions of the fields, woodlands and greenhouses, so as to prevent them from just displaying bright products at the promotion meeting.

The promotion meeting lasted for a week, and Lu Jia would go around with Monk Weidong every day, and gradually formed a hierarchical list in his mind.In addition, they also shuttled through the streets and alleys to taste local delicacies. The local dishes of Lancheng are very distinctive, rich in taste and distinct in layers. The special hot pot ten mushroom pot is a clear soup made with ten different mushrooms. Hot pot, the taste is amazing when cooking vegetarian dishes, and the fasting chicken is more interesting. On the surface, there is a whole chicken sitting on a big plate. In fact, the chicken is hollowed out from the bottom to the abdomen, and the spices are stuffed inside. The chicken is stewed in a wood-burning stove, and the fragrance permeates from the inside to the outside. When you gently pinch it with chopsticks, the chicken falls lightly. When you put it in your mouth, the meat is tender and tender, and the gravy flows out with the chewing action. , although it is stewed, it is slippery but not dry.

Lu Jia felt that his proud self-control had been greatly challenged.

How long does it take for a person to become a foodie?

A: Just open a restaurant.

Lu Jia didn't care about the taste at first, and it was fine if he didn't have good conditions in his previous life. In this life, Lu Jia not only eats the meals carefully prepared by his aunt at home, but also eats the food stalls outside. There are redundant feelings, anyway, just eat enough.But ever since he got hungry after eating, Lu Jia couldn't help being picky when he went out to eat. He had to compare the good ones and dislike the bad ones. Sure enough, he cared only because he cared.

Lu Jia doesn't make things difficult for himself now, and when he can eat well, he won't deliberately eat bad food.

Lu Jia was eating this special Lancheng delicacy, while thinking about when to start takeaway, so as to save himself the trouble of cooking, it is not as delicious as professional ones.

Lu Jia's craftsmanship is not bad, but if you don't cook often, buying a bunch of condiments or auxiliary tools is also an eyesore.When he lived in the apartment, he sometimes wanted to make a meal by himself, but there was no onion or garlic, and there was always a lack of samples. Fresh vegetables would affect the taste after two days, and it would be a waste to throw them away. There is really no time to cook by yourself. .

When Lu Jia returned to the hotel in the evening, he saw pictures in the group of hungry chefs flashing across the screen.It was all posted by Shang Weidong. Shang Weidong would upload the ingredients he saw during the day and the three meals he ate. Not long after, Zhang An also went online. He discussed the pictures with Shang Weidong very seriously. After a while, other chefs He also joined the discussion. Lu Jia watched it for a while, but was really not interested, so he temporarily blocked the group that was scrolling fast.

After a while, Zhu Jie, whose name was "little pig", also sent Lu Jia a WeChat message, saying that he had made up his mind again and planned to run the marathon in October this year, and asked the old driver to take him.

Lu Jia typed: "Sorry, I didn't run away either. But even if I did, I wouldn't take you with you. You are a sworn killer."

Zhu Jie simply sent a voice: "Is it okay if I call you brother, Brother Lu, what I said this time is true, you don't know, yesterday the unit organized a physical examination, in addition to the doctor who came for the physical examination, it also invited a doctor Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine said that I have a weak spleen and stomach, and am prone to forgetfulness. I said why I keep forgetting things recently, and I thought it was because I stayed up late. Chinese medicine said that I should exercise more, and outdoor running is the best, so I plan to run a marathon!"

"The doctor asked you to run. How did you associate it with the marathon? You also run the marathon? You can't even run a [-]-meter mini."

Lu Jia turned back in disdain. A marathon of more than 42 kilometers is not something that people can run as soon as they want. There are many people who die suddenly in the race due to insufficient preparation. With Zhu Jie's physique, he might faint on the track when he just got up.

"Hmph, you look down on me, I have to run to show you, I'll start training right away!"

"Are you going to sign up for the full-marathon or the half-marathon?"

When Lu Jia asked again, Zhu Jie didn't reply, did he really go for a run?Lu Jia chuckled and switched to the browser to read the news.

Bet on a marathon, Zhu Jie will never last.

……

After the promotion meeting was over, Lu Jia first made an appointment with the first brother farmer cooperative that he was looking for, and went there to see the field.

The other party enthusiastically sent a car to pick up Lu Jia, but it was a very worn-out bun, which dangled like a swing on the flat national road.

Lu Jia had observed before that this cooperative didn't get much interest at the promotion meeting.Maybe they were also very puzzled, so when they came into contact with Lu Jia, they were extraordinarily enthusiastic.

In fact, this is understandable, because this promotion meeting is held for the first time, except for a few high-end restaurants invited by the city government, the rest are middle and low-end restaurants with many chain stores, and high-end restaurants have long been stable. The partner of the company will not rashly sign a new contract at the promotion meeting.Zhuangjiagou Village is pursuing the development of ecological agriculture, rather than mass production. It is purely natural and pesticide-free, and the price is naturally expensive. Before the help of the poverty alleviation team, the products of Zhuangjiagou were directly supplied to major supermarkets and a local family. There is no problem with the sales of the hotel. The reason why I want to participate in the promotion meeting is to expand the production scale and sell through multiple channels.

However, the integration of agricultural meals is still a new thing, and there have been prototypes in the past, but this concept has not been specifically proposed, and it is normal for some enterprises to have scruples.In addition, the connection of agricultural meals saves costs, but transportation is a problem. Therefore, at the promotion meeting, it is understandable that brother farmers' cooperatives, which focus on slightly expensive ecological products, were left out in the cold.

Even if it is Lu Jia, he will not choose all the ingredients to be provided by this restaurant, but will balance the taste and benefits according to the arrangement of the recipes, and choose some ingredients whose original flavor has a greater impact on the taste.

For example, Shang Weidong likes the potatoes in this shop very much, and he has already agreed to look at other types of potatoes in their house.Lu Jia reckoned that if an order for potatoes was placed here, and when they went to the kitchen to try and eat, the dishes made of potatoes would account for at least half of the country.

Although he was complaining, Lu Jia still couldn't stop looking forward to it.A row of potatoes danced across the screen in his mind again, ah, this is a versatile ingredient!
