food crisis [end times]

In the past, when I left my father, I went to school at most.It may be one or two months, or even half a year, that you may not see each other once in school.Or when he was working later, Zhang Yuebei found a place far away from home, which can be regarded as a kind of exercise.

But no matter where she goes, it is considered a comfort zone for her.Her father is a wealthy businessman, and money can solve most problems in this world, so she has never experienced a situation like this.

After entering this village, it is equivalent to being isolated from the world.Moreover, living in a village with so many people who are inferior to her in terms of cultural accomplishment and even basic legal knowledge is an unprecedented challenge for her.

The biggest impact on her is the previous hooligan incident.

It is obviously a society that looks down on hooligans, and it is obvious that hooligans themselves are not greedy enough and come to the door at night.But just because Zhang Yuebei's position is different from that of the villagers, it was maliciously spread as Zhang Yuebei's Immortal Dance.On the contrary, the hooligan became a so-called victim because of this. He was caught and arrested, but he went home after only a few words of education.

If it weren't for the hooligan committing suicide and committing a crime, I'm afraid this matter will be over in the end.

Of course Zhang Yuebei can take revenge with his own ability, but this loss is real.

So no matter how enthusiastic the people in the village are towards her at the moment, she will only turn people away.

How can the father who has experienced so much and seen again not be excited?

Seeing that his daughter was dark and thin, the rich businessman naturally felt distressed. The father and daughter hugged each other and said a few words before the rich businessman raised his head and nodded to his son Zhang Jinnan.

Just such a pair of sons and daughters stayed in this place.Although this place is not a remote place, it is also isolated from the world. How could he not be worried?

Only then did he say to Xiang Luo: "I knew you wouldn't lie. My girl looks sharper than before. Most young people nowadays are impetuous, so they should practice more and endure hardships."

Zhang Yuebei did not tell his father about the affairs in the village, but the wealthy businessman also understood from Xiang Luo's words that Zhang Yuebei must have felt wronged.

Although what he said was humble, it was actually a warning to others, don't think that he didn't know anything.

It is true that his daughter is not a local, but it does not mean that outsiders can be bullied casually.

These words were heard by the other people watching, and even smart people could understand them.

Xiang Luodao: "There are a few people in this world who have not been tempered. Some losses are bettered early."

Having said that, Xiang Luo didn't lead any further, but said: "How much raw material do we have this time?"

The rich businessman said: "How many trucks are there? It's a bad day now, and I don't know when the next time I will deliver them, so I have basically delivered them. But here is a lot of sawdust. And they are all newly made. Others, such as soybean meal, are relatively rare."

Xiang Luo frowned: "In this case, the foundation of the mushroom bag may not be as good as before."

The wealthy businessman was also very helpless: "If there is, how can it not be sent here? Although there is still a lot of grain that has not been polished, there are still rice bran and soybean meal left. But I heard that some neighboring countries are willing to exchange their minerals for these things. The price given is not low. We need to restore the industry as soon as possible, these are relatively scarce things.”

Mushrooms have been developed now. Although it is important to eat, mushrooms are just side dishes no matter how full they are.In contrast, of course, heavy industry will be relatively important.

In this way, Xiang Luo can understand, and just nodded: "We will change the formula of the bacteria package appropriately. But the quality of the bacteria package we sell to you is a little bit worse, so please don't mind it."

The wealthy businessman nodded repeatedly and said: "That's for sure. I know what kind of raw materials are used. What's more, even if the quality is not as good as before, it must be better than mushroom bags from other places."

This matter will not have any impact on the two parties. Xiang Luo continued: "These bacteria bags we have stored are also ready, and they can be loaded for you when the materials are taken away. I was in a hurry last time, and the road is not busy now." It’s easy to go, just stay and eat, I’ll kill a duck as a treat.”

The rich businessman joked: "This time I am willing to take it out."

Xiang Luo said: "I can still get a little duck meat. When the next spring starts, I guess I will have to buy feed from you to feed me. When the fungus bags come out, I will ask you to help open the market for duck meat and duck eggs." It's gone."

The wealthy businessman still had a smiling face, and tentatively said, "At that time, there should be some ducks in the market."

Xiang Luo said: "I don't care about this. What I want is to be able to produce more ducks and duck eggs than anyone else. I just need to occupy the market share."

The rich merchant didn't say anything, just smiled and said, "I'm even more greedy for duck meat when you say that. Can I bring the cook with me this time, and I'll just wait for the meat to go into the pot."

"This is really rushing to eat." Xiang Luo smiled back and directed the employees to carry the raw materials under the guidance of the people brought by the wealthy businessman.

The two talked back and forth and in a friendly manner, but only each of them could understand what they were thinking.

Tractors came in and out to transport the raw materials to Xiang Luo's home. After the containers were full, there was still room left, so they were piled up in Li Baoguo's yard first, and they were used first when planting fungus bags later.

Afterwards, the bacteria packs were counted and taken away by the rich merchants.This is the problem of the handover between Li Baoguo's father and daughter and the accountants and secretaries around the rich businessman.

Li Baoguo is not very good at numbers, so if you have any questions, it is basically Li Yueyue. Li Yueyue has sorted out all the data in the ledger, and generally counts according to the ledger.

Watching the handover over there, the rich businessman even took a second look at Li Yueyue.

"Are you studying accounting?" the wealthy businessman asked Xiang Luo.

Xiang Luo also forgot, shook his head and said: "Probably not, but he is a college student, and he handles things very neatly. In addition, it is the friendship from childhood to adulthood, so I can rest assured that I will leave it to the two of them."

The wealthy businessman nodded, waited for the reconciliation over there to be almost done, and then waved to Li Yueyue: "Come here."

Li Yueyue put down the account book and came over, looking at the rich businessman a little strangely.Thinking that I should have missed nothing just now.

"What's your name?" asked the rich merchant.

Li Yueyue said: "Li Yueyue."

The wealthy businessman smiled and said, "It's a good name, are you the only one in the family?"

"I am the only child." Li Yueyue said.

"It's no wonder that you set up things early. If there is only one family, someone with more children will definitely help support the family earlier. It seems that you work quite neatly, and you really like it." The wealthy businessman asked.

Li Yueyue didn't understand what he meant, so she glanced at Xiang Luo and saw that Xiang Luo didn't express anything, so she knew that the rich businessman had no malicious intentions, and said with a smile: "How can you say whether you like eating or not. It's like eating and drinking water. It’s better than no work. My family was hungry before, and now I’m very happy to be able to master a job of eating.”

Didn't say I liked it, didn't say I didn't like it.

Just like what Li Yueyue said, who in this world can do what he likes?It is a luxury to be able to eat a full meal.What's more, they can still make a lot of money because of this.

At this time last year, the Li family's predicament was so sad, but the current good conditions are so happy.

After all, at that time, she was so embarrassed by life that she started thinking about her own marriage, so she knew how difficult Li Yueyue's life was at that time.

Hearing this, the rich businessman smiled even more: "Then do you want to come with me? No matter how many people are in charge here, they are from the village. After I leave with me, I will arrange more for you and get in touch with more."

Xiang Luo raised his eyebrows, and Li Yueyue shook his head: "I'm not that kind of material. I do well in the village because I know everyone well. I can't let go of it when I go to other places."

The rich businessman smiled and said, "Okay, I'm not greedy. When Huaxue Road is gone next year, I'll invite Xiao Luo to have a good meal at my place. Then you can come with me."

Xiang Luo didn't make things difficult for Li Yueyue, and said, "If she brings them all, then there will be more people."

The rich merchant said: "If you don't bring the whole village with you, I can afford it."

"Then I won't be polite to you." Xiang Luo changed the subject after he finished speaking, "It's settled, let's go to the village committee first, my place is small and there aren't many tables, so the village committee is big. It’s not easy for you to come here, and I’m sure you’ll have to eat and taste it before leaving.”

The rich businessman raised his eyebrows: "Is there anything else you can tell me about what you said?"

Xiang Luo smiled and said, "It's definitely not as good as yours, but there are still some good things frozen in my refrigerator. We are not willing to eat during the New Year."

The rich businessman teased: "Then my eyes were opened."

The two talked and laughed all the way to the village committee.The village head came over, shook hands with the rich businessman, talked to each other, and surrounded the rich businessman to the village committee.

This is a rare excitement in the village.They all know that wealthy businessmen are rich and can open up a market for Xiang Luo.In the future, the dried mushrooms will also be collected by rich merchants, and naturally they will also control the sales in the village.

There are more and more people around the rich businessman, the rich businessman somehow remembered and asked Xiang Luo with a smile: "I remember you live with your friends."

Xiang Luo thought of Zhu Yan, understood that Zhu Yan was avoiding him, nodded and said, "There are two of them."

"Last time, you had a friend who was sick and was resting. It's a pity that I didn't see you."

Xiang Luo couldn't help laughing: "You do business with me, he never cares about it."

The wealthy businessman said: "I think that people who can get together are similar. To get along so well with you must be a young hero."

Xiang Luo shook his head: "He doesn't like to see people, and he seldom goes out of the house. I teased him for being a young lady who doesn't leave the house. If he comes, he will definitely not come. If you are really curious, finish eating in a while." It’s okay to visit my house for dinner.”

When he said that, the wealthy businessman couldn't ask for it anymore, he just said: "I also mentioned it casually, you don't have to take it to heart."

All the way to the village committee, I have prepared a lot.It was still Xiang Yan who hosted the event, and hired the best cook in the village to help out with some nimble daughters-in-law.

The village itself is very hospitable, and rich merchants are even more distinguished guests.Last time, most of the participants were on an inspection tour, and they left after a short walk. This time, they stayed for dinner, so naturally they couldn't wait any longer.

The village committee specially cleaned up two rooms and set up tables. On one side were people close to Xiang Luo, the village chief, and wealthy businessmen, and on the other side were people like secretaries and assistants.The meals are almost the same, but they don't disturb each other.

After sitting down for a while, the food started to be served.

In the past, there would be no reason to let customers wait for food.Generally, the dishes are served when the guests are seated at the table, or even more than half of the dishes are served, and the dishes that need to be eaten while they are hot are served after they are seated.

It’s just that it’s different now. The dishes must be freshly made and eaten fresh, otherwise they may be contaminated by super mold in about two hours.Five hours is enough for a bowl of green rice to fly spores all over the sky with one slap.

So this dish really needs to be served one by one.If some hot dishes are cold, they should be taken to the pot as soon as possible and re-fried to heat them again, which can be regarded as disinfection and sterilization.

This first dish is served with soft and rotten duck that has been stewed.A whole duck was chopped into even small pieces. Xiang Luo specifically ordered that the duck's head and tail be picked out separately and placed in front of the wealthy businessman.It's about paying attention to customers.

The bowls and chopsticks were set up, the aroma of fresh white rice mixed with the aroma of duck meat, even the wealthy businessman swallowed his saliva.

Of course he doesn't lack this, but thinking that this duck is freshly killed, it is naturally different from the meat that has been frozen for a long time at home, and he has more expectations in his heart.

Xiang Luo nodded to the wealthy businessman: "How about a taste of the cooks in our village?"

Basically, every village will have one or two decent cooks, mainly to deal with the running water banquets held by someone in the village for hundreds or thousands of people.

Cooking a large pot of dishes is completely different from cooking a table of dishes alone. It is quite difficult to make dishes for hundreds of people at once and ensure that the taste is good.Although the taste of cooking is not the top cook, it is the most in line with the taste of the public.It is not an easy task for hundreds of people to have a peaceful and delicious meal.

So, it won't be as tasty as Top Celebrity Chef's, but it's definitely not bad either.

The rich merchant took the top piece of meat from the plate, tasted it, nodded and said, "It's delicious! Everyone, try it."

Only then did a table move their chopsticks.

Xiang Luo joked, "I also want to ask, how is this duck better than your cook?"

The rich businessman smiled frankly.

The rich businessman said that he would bring the cook to wait for the meat, of course he was joking.How can anyone bring a cook when they come to the house as a guest?

Xiang Luo said it deliberately to tease, but it adjusted the atmosphere.

At this table, there are three members of the village director's and deputy's, and a wealthy businessman's family, Xiang Luo.There are also Li Baoguo, father and son, and Xiang Yan, mother and daughter.

Originally, the last four were going to eat with the staff, but the rich businessman said that they were not outsiders, so they stayed to eat.But these ten people were somewhat shabby facing a plate of duck meat, so the four of them took a symbolic piece of meat and stopped moving their chopsticks.

Then the second dish came up, which was braised fish in soy sauce.

Fish is not uncommon for rich merchants.Not to mention river fish, even sea fish has been frozen in his house a lot.However, it is quite rare for such a thing to appear in the village here.

Xiang Luo smiled and said, "Try it."

The rich merchant wondered what this could be, but he also understood how rare such dishes are in this small place.He also specially boasted: "Is this your treasure? I am lucky."

As he spoke, he lowered his chopsticks and added a piece of fish belly meat to eat.

This is the way of people who eat fish seriously, and those who can enjoy it.

I took a piece into my mouth, smacked it, it was a little unbelievable, and I took a closer look at the fish, it was obviously a complete one.

"Is this... stewed and frozen before?"

In fact, Xiang Luo also sincerely admired: "You still know how to eat."

Everyone knows that live fish tastes far better than dead fish.Whether it is taste, flavor or deliciousness, it is incomparable.

But that's all said, but there are very few people who can eat it in one bite.

"This is rare." The rich merchant said.

"What's even more rare is that it's not frozen, it's fresh fish. I only have this one. If it weren't for you, I would really be willing to take it out." Xiang Luo said.

In fact, this is a lie.Before that, I brought four more listless fish from Jiupaozi Village. These are male fish with insufficient energy, so they were eliminated.When leaving, the head of Jiupaozi Village Qian reminded Wan to eat as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a pity to die.

While the live fish is in the pot, the flavor is far from that of dead fish.

But after Xiang Luo got it back, Zhu Yan took out the fish food bought in the space, and threw some antibacterial drugs for the fish to treat the underlying diseases into the water, and the fish became more energetic every day.

They ate one to satisfy their hunger, and this is the second one.There are also two alive and kicking ones kept at home, waiting to be eaten during the Chinese New Year and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The wealthy businessman hurriedly asked, "Where did it come from?"

Xiang Luo didn't change his face and said: "I dug a fish pond in the backyard of my house, and I raised it before. It's just that I'm really not good at raising fish. I raised it before the world was in chaos, but after raising it, my belly turned half white the next day. Later, I didn’t take it seriously. When I was in a good mood, I sprinkled a handful of fish food into the pond. When I forgot it, I couldn’t remember it for a month or two. When I met a dead one, I fished it out and threw it away. After that, there are still a few left in the pond. Except for the ones that turned into monsters, there are only five good ones left. I was thinking about keeping them forever, but two more died. We didn’t dare to eat the last fish, so we had to throw it away. We didn’t dare to have other thoughts about the remaining three. We ate the other two when they didn’t look good, but this one has been alive and kicking, and has been kept as a pet at home. Today you Here I am, I can bear the pain."

How could the wealthy businessman believe Xiang Luo's nonsense?

Seeing Xiang Luo's normal expression, the rich businessman knew there was something in his words.

The wealthy businessman's mind changed sharply, savoring Xiang Luo's words.

The wealthy businessman was not in a hurry to speak, and Xiang Luo's lengthy introductions seemed a bit embarrassing.

Zhang Yuebei picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and ate it into his mouth, and said with a smile, "Brother Xiang, how do you know that my dad likes fish?"

Xiang Luo said: "No coincidence can make a book."

Zhang Yuebei touched the wealthy businessman with his arm: "Don't embarrass me today. When the world was in chaos, you couldn't buy any fresh meat. I was greedy for fish, so I stewed your dragon fish worth more than 70 yuan." You almost jumped up and beat me up, but when it came to the table, you ate the most delicious food. You ate half of a dragon fish weighing six or seven catties, and my brother and I didn't snatch you."

Everyone at the table laughed as soon as they spoke. Zhou Tingting was young and was a little nervous, but when she heard Zhang Yuebei's words, everyone at the table couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Immediately, Zhou Tingting's face turned pale again, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

The rich businessman glared at Zhang Yuebei: "I don't know how to save face for your father when I'm away from home."
