After crossing over, it's hard

Li Ran asked Ji Xi and Zhao Youting to eat watermelon in the main room, while he went out to pick some fresh vegetables in the vegetable field.After leaving the yard, he saw Ji Nan posting the cow under a big tree and preparing to go home.Li Ran quickly came to Jin Nan's side. The plowed fields were paddy fields, so there were many muddy stains on Jin Nan's clothes. Two fish, we will use them later for cooking."

Ji Nan happily agreed, looked at Li Ran with bright eyes and asked, "Who's here?" In Ji Nan's pure thinking, he really couldn't think of any guests at home.

"It's Uncle Ji Xi and his boss, who came to talk to us about selling vegetables and watermelons. Hurry up and catch fish." Li Ran agreed with Ji Nan, and went to the vegetable field to pick some vegetables first, then went to Grandma Li's family took back the things that fell in the well of his house.And Ji Nan happily took the fishing tools to the pond to catch fish.

When Ji Nan came back with two catties of fish (the pond at home, both Li Ran and Ji Nan were willing to feed it, anyway, the oil dregs were cheap, so the fish in the pond grew pretty fast), Li Ran had already A few vegetables were prepared, such as stir-fried cabbage, dry-stir-fried beans, roasted eggplant with red fruit, and scrambled eggs with red fruit.What is being cooked in the pot is fried pork slices with chili, and it is about to come out of the pot. Rice is being stewed in the pot next to it. Under the rice, there is a steamer with pork ribs stewed with dried mushrooms. Once stewed, the whole kitchen is full of fragrance.

Put the chili fried pork slices out of the pot, Li Ran heard Ji Nan's voice outside, and hurried out of the kitchen.There is still a sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour fish left in the dish, plus a fish soup, it will be fine.Now the fish must be prepared and marinated.

Ji Xi sat in the main room with Zhao Youting eating watermelon, Zhao Youting didn't talk much, and Ji Xi didn't dare to say anything, the atmosphere was a little stiff for a while.Ji Nan came back with two fish and was seen by the bored Ji Xi. Ji Xi was obviously very shocked. There is no reservoir or fish pond in Jijia Village. Where did Jinan get such fresh fish? You must know that it is in Pingyang Town. It is impossible to buy such fresh fish at this noon time, and it is obvious that Jinan's fish is not bought.

Ji Xi ignored Zhao Youting who was next to him, and quickly left the main room, looked at the fish in Jin Nan's hand, and asked, "Jinan, where did your fish come from, it's so fresh."

The two fish were passed through the mouth by Jin Nan with two straws, and they were flicking their tails. When Jin Nan saw Ji Xi, he called out: "Uncle Ji Xi." Then he said: "This is our pond. Xiaoran said that he will make fish at noon today, and the fish Xiaoran made is delicious." Ji Nan raised the fish in his hand, excitedly let Ji Xi see it clearly, and thought about Xiaoran again in his heart The deliciousness of the fish.

When Ji Xi heard Jin Nan's words, he pointed to the fish in Jin Nan's hand in shock and said, "You said this fish was raised at home?" In the area of ​​Pingyang Town, no one has ever heard of anyone raising fish. According to this statement, there are no big rivers or large reservoirs in Pingyang Town, and there are no fish abounds. Restaurants like their Huibin Restaurant usually transport fish from Lin County. Although there are good fresh-keeping methods, they are still not as good as this The fish taken directly from the pond are still alive and kicking.

Ji Nan didn't know why Uncle Ji Xi was so surprised, he lifted the fish in his hand, and said flatly: "Yes, this fish is raised in our own pond." He pointed in the direction of the fish pond Show it to Ji Xi and say: "Hey, the pond is there. It used to be a small puddle. Xiaoran said that the mud in it was very fat and suitable for growing vegetables, so he asked Uncle Lizheng to buy the water. Afterwards, the silt in the puddle was dug up, and when it rained, there was water in the pond, so Xiaoran and I went to the small river to pick up fry and put them in the pond to raise them.” I moved the fish in my hand : "Hey, it's this fish."

After hearing what Ji Nan said, Ji Xi said in his heart, this Li Ran's mind and brain are really flexible, and he can think of doing things that others have never thought of or can't do, just like growing vegetables, growing watermelons, and raising fish.Although the fish raised this time will not earn a huge sum of money like growing watermelons, it is still very easy to earn two to three hundred taels, and this is a long-term job.

Zhao Youting in the main room heard the conversation between Ji Xi and Ji Nan, but his first thought was not shock. As a businessman, his first thought was how to sign the fish deal with Li Ran.Huibin Restaurant spends a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to transport fish to Lin County every year. Although it makes a lot of money, if he can buy fish from Li Ran, even if the price is the same, he will earn more than buying fish in Lin County. There are many fish.This is the second thing. If you buy fish from Li Ran, the fish will definitely be fresher than those in Lin County. By then, only Huibin Restaurant in Pingyang Town will have fresh fish, and Huibin Restaurant will definitely have a better reputation than before.This is killing two birds with one stone.Zhao Youting thought that he must negotiate this business, and felt more and more that his trip was really worthwhile, and he found so many good things.

Li Ran came out of the kitchen, didn't care about the other two, took the fish from Jinan's hand, asked Jinan to go to the kitchen to scoop hot water to wash it, changed his clothes and prepared to eat, and quickly cleaned the fish by himself.Two fish, one sweet and sour and one soup.

Li Ran quickly cooked the meal, Ji Nan changed his clothes and helped Li Ran serve the dishes.Li Ran put the last dish on the dining table, with a dozen or so dishes filling the dining table, and said apologetically to Ji Xi and Zhao Youting: "The people in the country are relatively simple, you two will eat it, don't dislike it." I don't drink alcohol personally, so this meal is eaten directly.When Li Ran went to get food from Grandma Li's house, Xiao Yuan said that she would stay at Grandma Li's house for dinner, and Li Ran agreed.Since the relationship between the two children has become better and better, and the relationship between the two families has also become better and better, it is common for the two children to keep meals for each other.

Ji Xi hurriedly said: "There, there are very rich dishes." Ji Xi pointed to several dishes on the table and asked: "What are these Xiaoran dishes?" The few dishes Ji Xi pointed to were: scrambled eggs with red fruits , sweet and sour fish, roasted eggplant with red fruit, sweet and sour pork ribs.Among these few dishes, he doesn’t know the ingredients except red fruit. He knows the ingredients of other dishes. They are all common ribs, fish and eggplant, but he has never seen it done. Although there are few methods, the taste is very good, and it has a good reputation in Pingyang Town.As for ribs, no restaurant will list them on the menu.But looking at these dishes made by Li Ran, one could tell by smelling them that they must be good.

Li Ran smiled and said: "That red? The color is called red fruit. When I went to Qingyun Mansion, a shopkeeper recommended the seeds. I bought some and planted them. It tastes good when fried with eggs and put into eggplants. The pork ribs and fish are both sweet and sour, sweet and sour, very good, but the sweet and sour fish is filled with my secret sauce. Boss Zhao and Uncle Ji Xi, try it and see if it suits your taste."

Zhao Youting glanced at the dishes on the table. He had never seen the red fruit Jixi before, but he had seen it when he traveled all over the country. He also ate it in the south, fried it with eggs but ate it, but it was the first time he saw someone with eggplant. .Zhao Youting picked up the chopsticks and tasted the sweet and sour fish gracefully. It tasted really good.Ji Xi followed suit, her eyes lit up, thinking that if Huibin Restaurant had these new dishes, it would be a huge profit.

Ji Xi held back his excitement, looked at Li Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, can you sell these dishes to our restaurant, we will definitely give you a fair price."

Li Ran nodded and agreed, he will ask Ji Nan to catch fish and make sweet and sour fish today, firstly because he really needs fish for cooking, and secondly, just to sell dishes.Now that Ji Xi has proposed, of course he agrees.

Zhao Youting ate a few mouthfuls, stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Your family has a fishpond, do you raise fish?" Li Ran nodded, guessing that this may be what Ji Nan told them when he came back from catching fish just now.

"I want to pack the fish in your fish pond." Zhao Youting said flatly.

"Purchase? It refers to the fish in our fish pond. Do you want it?" Li Ran asked.

"kindness!"

"Yes, but you also know that the fish in my fish pond are not very big, the big ones are only about two catties, and the small ones may be less than one catty." Being able to sign a fish selling business with Huibin Restaurant, Li Of course Ran is happy, since he has done so much business anyway, he doesn't care about adding this sum, and if he has done a lot of business, maybe he can get acquainted with Boss Zhao and hug his thigh.Although the background of this Boss Zhao is not very clear, it should not be very low.

"It's okay. Although the fish is not big, it can be served on the table." Ji Xi explained beside him.

Li Ran thought of the lotus roots in the pond. Throwing those lotus seeds into the pond, they had already germinated and grown, and now they even thanked each other, and small lotus pods grew. "I also planted lotus roots in my pond. I don't know if your Huibin restaurant will accept this."

"Lotus root? There are lotus roots planted in your pond." Ji Xi was shocked again. He felt that he was more shocked today than he was in most of his life.

Li Ran nodded and said, "I just don't know if Huibin Restaurant wants lotus roots."

"Yes, of course." There are no fresh vegetables in winter, and Huibin Restaurant will also buy some lotus roots from other places to increase its dishes.Now that Li Ran has lotus roots here, why should they look far away!After hearing so many surprises in this small village today, even Zhao Youting looked at Li Ran differently. If he can grow watermelons and vegetables because other people have planting secrets, but they can’t grow so many, then this Li Ran There must be something extraordinary about it.But if Zhao Youting doesn't plan to delve into it, he will bury this secret in his heart.Although he, Zhao Youting, as a businessman, may not have very bright means, but there are still the most basic principles, and this can make him make money, so why bother to get to the bottom of it.The most important thing was that he had a good impression of Li Ran.
