my home is in the northeast

39. Northeast iron pot stew

"Mom... I seem to... have won the lottery." Zhang Yuhe murmured.

"What?" Sun Cuifang raised her head in confusion, and saw that her son was holding a large round pearl in the palm of his hand, the eldest stared in shock, and quickly got up to take it and take a closer look, "Old man, old man!"

"What are you doing?" Zhang Changgui was lying on the top of the kang listening to Erren Zhuan, when he heard the heart-piercing shouts of his wife in the outhouse, he didn't know what happened and rushed out, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes.When I came out, my wife and son were all well, so I snorted angrily. "Why is it called such an evil thing?"

"Have a look, old man?" Sun Cuifang handed over the big pearl in her hand. Zhang Changgui quickly took it, regardless of the fishy smell, "Is this a pearl? Where did it come from?"

"In the belly of the fish Yu Baoer caught."

"...That's right, it must be pearls. I heard from the old people that the East Pearl is produced in the Songhua River, which is very old and expensive. In the Qing Dynasty, the emperor used this thing as court pearls."

"Then ours is worth money, right?"

"It must be valuable. The pearls in the Songhua River are all wild. I haven't heard of anyone putting them on for a long time, and the pearl is so big and round that it must be valuable." Zhang Changgui rinsed off the fishy smell on it with clean water. The color is also good, look a little golden."

"It's so valuable? Then...do I need to hand it over to the country?" Sun Cuifang asked nervously.

"Mom..." Zhang Yuhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, let alone this was a random gift given to him by the system, it was just that it was found in the belly of a fish, so why hand it over. "It's from the belly of the fish I caught, and it belongs to our family. I'll process it for you later, and wear it with a necklace."

Zhang Changgui also smiled, and took the pearl and stroked it under Sun Cuifang's neck a few times, "Yu Baoer, you caught the pearl, and I will pay for the necklace."

"Okay. It's a New Year's gift from my father and mother to my mother."

Sun Cuifang happily washed the pearls several times and dried them, then put them aside, waiting for the two daughters to come back, and wanted to show them.

"How did this pearl get into the fish's belly?" Sun Cuifang continued to clean up the fish, but unfortunately there was only what it should have in the fish's belly.

"Then who knows, maybe this fish swallowed it by mistake?" Neither Zhang's father nor son could answer such a difficult question.

Soon the fish was cleaned up, and after being fried in oil until golden on both sides, the cauldron started to simmer.The onion, ginger, and garlic were put into the pot, and the fragrance came out without much effort.

"Mom, we're back." The Zhang sisters bought a lot of things in big bags.

"Why do you buy so many things?" Sun Cuifang looked through the items, finding everything for food and drink.

There are also all kinds of seasonal vegetables, which are obviously only sold in supermarkets in the city.Plus some drinks or something.I didn't take Zihao there today, and the sisters even bought him a big box of chocolates.

"Fish smell. Yu Baoer, you really caught a fish."

"That's necessary. If I go out, can I still have no fish to eat?" Zhang Yuhe smiled, "Not only fish, but also better things."

"What is it?" The sisters were extremely curious.

Sun Cuifang smiled mysteriously, went into the room and took out the things.Xiao Zihao also woke up, and when he saw his mother and aunt came back and bought him chocolates, he cheered and went to the house to open up and eat.

Sun Cuifang took out the things, and the eyes of the Zhang family sisters suddenly widened, "Pearls? Are they real or fake? So big?"

"Of course it is true. This is what Yu Baoer found in the belly of the fish that Yu Baoer caught."

"My dear, what kind of luck is this, hurry up and buy a lottery ticket!"

"It's really a real pearl." Zhang Yuping also touched it, "Such a big natural pearl must be worth a lot!"

The two sisters looked at it in turn, and both felt that they couldn't put it down. It was much more beautiful than the pearls sold outside.

"Sister, third sister, don't worry. I'll go fishing a few more times later, and I'll give you one for each of you."

The two sisters pursed their lips and smiled. This thing is hard to come by. I don’t know how lucky I was to catch it this time. One person and one can only think about it.But they were very happy when the younger brother said this.

Wu Lide also looked at it from the sidelines, amazed.His father was right. His brother-in-law is indeed a man who can accomplish things. He did not go to the university that caused Zhang Yurong to make a fuss a few years ago, but he started the sauce meat business as soon as he came back, and later he got in touch with Zhao Yihu. It doesn't matter, now I have caught such a big pearl again.

This luck is coming, it is really unstoppable.

Sun Cuifang put the pearls away again, "Okay, everyone, wash your hands and get ready to eat."

In the evening, I ate rice, stewed big fish in an iron pot, and fried a few vegetarian dishes.The stewed vegetables with sauced meat were also cut into a plate, mainly for Wu Lide to eat, and the others didn't have much interest.No matter how delicious the food is, I can't bear to see it every day and eat it every day, and it's made by myself, and I don't have much interest in it.

Because it was the Gregorian New Year, Zhao Yihu came in person the next morning, bringing some fruits and seafood.

"Brother Zhao, you are too polite. I just happened to go fishing yesterday, and you took two of them too."

"Fishing? Songhua Lake?" Zhao Yihu was very interested.

"Yes, wild fish are not small in size."

Zhao Yihu rubbed his hands, "Then I have to take it away and taste it."

Zhao Yihu was quite busy, so he left after a short stay, but this time he took half a pig's head and two big fish.But he brought a folder to Zhang Yuhe.

Zhang Yuhe's eyes lit up, he put away the folder, and sent Zhao Yihu outside the gate.If you're not mistaken, this folder contains what he asked for from Zhao Yihu before.

Wu Lide looked at him with envy in his eyes. Many people who wanted to get along with Zhao Yihu couldn't find a temple. They didn't expect that his cheap brother-in-law would have such a good relationship with him.

How did he know that Zhao Yihu's Tiannan Hotel has been well received these days because of Zhang's sauced meat and stewed vegetables.

Food prices at Tiannan Hotel are already expensive, so although the price of the sauced meat is not low, it is not very eye-catching, and there are still many people who order it.

When the sauced meat or stewed vegetables are ordered, almost [-]% of the people will become repeat customers, especially during the two days of New Year's Day, almost everyone who comes to eat will order a sauced meat or half a sauced chicken. Today, Zhao Yihu personally came In addition to sending Zhang Yuhe what he wanted, it was also to increase the order quantity.

Just in time, Zhang's family didn't plan to go to the market these two days, so they simply sold all the sauced meat to Zhao Yihu.Not to mention the trouble, the price is also high, and the overall weighing will be paid directly. In the past few days, the Zhang family has made more money than before during the holidays.

At the same time, many people came to Zhang Yuhe's door according to Zhang Yuhe's previous propaganda.It's really that this sauce meat is so delicious, no matter how you eat it, it feels right to you.It's a pity that I didn't go to the market these two days, and some villagers who were close to me came here to buy it. It's still affordable and available.

"Father, I think we should set up a signboard? Otherwise, it will be hard to find when people come." Zhang Yuhe suggested that it is quite fast to make a plaque now, and there is one in the village who makes a signboard. Although the price is more expensive, the workmanship is slow A bit rough, but the workmanship is really good.

This person is still from their own family, and Zhang Yuhe still has to let the other party call him fourth master.

Hearing that the Zhang family needed a plaque, the fourth master happened to be free these few days, so he agreed and said that he would definitely give it to him in three days.

Zhang Yuhe left 1000 yuan, and went back to find a broken wooden board and wrote Zhang's old sauce and pork name.

The neighbor happened to pass by the door, and was immediately happy, "Yu Baoer, your sign is too good, right?"

"Uncle Sun. The fourth master of the signboard is doing it. I'll set up one here first, so that people who come here won't be able to find it." Zhang Yuhe smiled.The neighbor here has a good relationship with his family, and the tricycle I borrowed a few times ago belonged to this family.

But like the Zhang family, they are not rich.It's not that the family next door has many children, there are only two. The older one is already working, and the younger one is about to graduate. They are about the same age as the Zhang family sisters.

The Sun family is poor, mainly because the daughter-in-law of the Sun family is a sick child and a drag in the eyes of the villagers.I can't do the work in the field, so I can only do some housework at home, and I often get sick, not to mention taking a lot of medicine, and the men of the Sun family dare not go out to work.Almost all the money the Sun family earned was spent on medicine.

The man from the Sun family is a good man, he never complained, but was extremely patient with his wife.Some good things are also for daughter-in-law.Before the Zhang family went to return the car to send some sauced meat and stewed vegetables, the man of the Sun family saved some for the children, and gave the rest to his wife.

The man from the Sun family didn't have much to say about this, he just said that he would marry his daughter-in-law, regardless of illness or anything else in this life, it was all his job.

Zhang Changgui sighed at home for a long time, this is the real man.

These days, the life of the Zhang family is obviously much better. Not to mention that Zhang Yuhe bought a car, but he does this sauce meat business every day. People in the city drive to buy it, which makes the man of the Sun family move his mind.

Handing over a cigarette, the man from the Sun family chatted with Zhang Yuhe, "Yu Baoer, you are educated, and you have also seen the big world when you go out. Can you give uncle an idea to see if there is any way to make money?"

"How to make money? Yes." Zhang Yuhe said with a smile, "Uncle Sun, look at our surroundings. There are mountains and forests on one side, and Songhua Lake on the other. They are all kinds of wild mushrooms and fungus. These things are worthless for us to eat at home, but they are worth a lot if we sell them.”

"I know what you're talking about, but firstly, you can't get too much, and secondly, those merchants who come to buy mountain goods keep the price too low. People in our villages only buy some if they want to eat, otherwise they will all lose money." Not willing to go into the mountains."

"Selling to them is naturally a low price, but the price they sell is not low, even frighteningly high." Zhang Yuhe laughed.He also ate the so-called Northeast wild black fungus and wild hazel mushrooms in the capital.Speaking of which, not all of them are fakes, but the price is frighteningly high.

"You mean, I'm here to be a seller? But I don't have the capital? Besides, I don't have a channel to sell." The man from the Sun family smiled wryly and shook his head. He can't go out to work either, but these days it's too difficult to earn money with a few acres of land at home.

"No, no, Uncle Sun, that's not what I mean." Zhang Yuhe waved his hand, "I mean, you can open an online store to sell our mountain products!"
