Start being a Shennong today

In the early morning, the staff of the Fortune Restaurant in S City had been waiting at the back door of the hotel. The leader informed them that a batch of high-quality ingredients would be delivered today, and asked them to make proper arrangements.

Don't look at the tacky name of Fortune Restaurant, its hands are second to none in S City, the first thing people in S City think of when they talk about gourmet food is Fortune Restaurant.

These staff members are also proud of working in the Fortune Restaurant. This time when they received the notice from the leader, they were a little strange. Now the restaurant used the last time it was well-known in the industry. They did not expect that there are better ingredients that can make people feel better. The restaurant attaches so much importance to it, everyone is a little curious.

While everyone was waiting, they found that Yang Heng, the big owner of the restaurant, had also come to wait. The moment they recognized Yang Heng, they paid another level of attention to this batch of ingredients, and their hearts were even more tense. The spirit of two points.

Yang Heng is Yang Jinjiang's eldest son and his great apprentice. He is smart and kind. Although he is not very talented in cooking, he is quite talented in business management. He manages the family's property well. Organized.

Born in a family of chefs and a father with excellent cooking skills, although Yang Heng did not inherit his father's talent for cooking, he is still an authority in tasting food.

Before the Chinese New Year, Li Tingzhou brought some top-quality ingredients to honor the master, and Yang Heng also tasted them.After tasting the dishes his father cooked with these ingredients, Yang Heng was shocked by the deliciousness of the dishes, and then immediately wanted to know the source of these vegetables.

He himself can imagine how much surprises his chef's superb craftsmanship and these top-quality ingredients can bring, and the reputation of Fortune Restaurant will definitely be raised to a higher level.But my father was reluctant to disclose the source of the ingredients, let alone the stricter junior brother.

Yang Heng, who had been lost for a while, suddenly received the news that his father was going out to play, and he suddenly had a premonition.Sure enough, it didn't take long before his father told him to choose some trustworthy people to contact new food source channels.

Yang Heng never expected such high-quality ingredients to come from an ordinary village. Before he had time to marvel at the vastness of the world, he was shocked by the price of Taoyuan vegetables.

He didn't think the price was too expensive, on the contrary, but felt that the price was too affordable compared to its price.In the eyes of Taoyuan villagers, the price is extremely high, but in Yang Heng's eyes, it is extremely cost-effective.Usually, the price of vegetables at Fortune Restaurant is slightly higher than that of Taoyuan vegetables, but the taste is far worse.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the price set by the Yang family is unreasonable, let alone that Taoyuan Village is at a disadvantage. This price is a win-win situation for both parties.Even if Taoyuan Village is sold to other restaurants and restaurants, the price will not be so high.

When the transport vehicle arrived, Yang Heng walked in the front, opened the door of the compartment, and felt relieved when he saw it with his own eyes. At least from the outside, this batch of vegetables was the same as the one sent by Li Tingzhou.

Along with it came the only fruit, strawberries from Tao Ran's family, and a batch of matching small bamboo baskets from Nantian Village.After getting the strawberries, Yang Heng washed and ate a few. It was the same taste as he had eaten at his father's place.

Yang Henglian ate a lot of strawberries. At that time, his father gave these strawberries to his baby, but even his son didn't eat a few.He kept thinking in his heart that it would be great to be able to eat it in the future.

Lucky Fortune Restaurant didn't intend to sell these strawberries, but planned to use those small bamboo baskets to sell them in a catty as a small gift for the big customers in the restaurant.

Yang Heng glanced at the bamboo basket. Although it wasn't particularly exquisite, it looked a little rough, and the effect was quite good when paired with these strawberries.No wonder the old man bought a batch of bamboo baskets and shipped them back, Yang Heng casually sighed in his heart.

While Yang Heng was tasting the strawberries, all the vegetables were sent to the kitchen by the staff, and all the chefs were waiting there.Now any news will spread quickly, especially since Yang Heng didn't hide much, they have already known that a batch of high-quality vegetables will be shipped today, and they all want to taste for themselves what kind of vegetables can have such a big battle .

And the taste of Tao Yuan Vegetables never disappoints.

……

Today's sunshine in Taoyuan Village is just right, and the sun is warm on the body without dazzling.

Tao Ran got excited today, so he was going to dig some wild vegetables, and of course Li Tingzhou went with him.The two walked towards the hillside by the village with a small shovel and a small bamboo basket.

"More than half of our village's income from selling vegetables is related to you." Walking on the road, thinking of the vegetable truck that came yesterday, Tao Ran smiled and said to Li Tingzhou.

A few days ago, Yang Jinjiang successfully signed a treaty with Taoyuan Village, but he didn't receive any resistance from Taoyuan villagers. Some people tried to persuade Yang Jinjiang because the purchase price was too high.Yang Jinjiang was speechless and moved by the simplicity of Taoyuan villagers, and he liked life here even more.

The sun shone on Li Tingzhou's face, and his originally stern face softened a lot. He said lightly, "Without me, there would be other people who would come to your village to buy. I'm lucky enough to meet you."

Seeing Li Tingzhou finish this sentence in a serious manner, but without any intention to continue, Tao Ran could only say to himself: "Of course, if you didn't know me, you still don't know the existence of Taoyuan vegetables." .”

Li Tingzhou didn't respond, but looked at Tao Ran silently.

Tao Ran was a little nervous about being stared at by him. He didn't know where to put his eyes, so he could only scan around, and saw the familiar green on the ground, and quickly changed the subject: "There is a large field of dandelions over there, let's go and dig them quickly. .”

After speaking, Tao Ran lifted his feet and walked over there, feeling like he was running away.Li Tingzhou looked at his quietly red ears, and followed him helplessly.

Although there are many names of wild vegetables on Mr. Yang's purchase list, the villagers in Taoyuan did not pick them extensively.If the village had such an opportunity to make money before the appearance of the Shennong Spring, it is estimated that within a week, the wild vegetables in the whole village would disappear.

It's different now. Every day, just growing vegetables can generate a lot of income. The villagers in Taoyuan have become quite Buddhist, and they only dig a little when they are interested.Yang Jinjiang, who was on the sidelines, felt a little aggrieved. The opportunity to make money is presented to you and you still don't know how to do it.

But because the Taoyuan villagers don't pick too much, other people can easily find it when they want to eat.

Besides the dandelion, Tao Ran and Li Tingzhou also found a piece of plantain, as well as amaranth and wild coriander.The two waved their shovels, and soon filled two bamboo baskets.

"My dad likes to eat these wild vegetables, and he often took me to dig them when I was a child." Tao Ran couldn't help recalling his childhood. Speaking of his choice to study biology, he was also influenced by Tao Shengwen a lot, and was taken to the mountains since he was a child. Run and get to know all kinds of wild flowers and weeds.

Li Tingzhou listened carefully, he was full of interest in Tao Ran's childhood.

Tao Ran suddenly had the desire to tell, and he talked endlessly while digging wild vegetables with Li Tingzhou.

"When I was young, my dad would take me to run around. I tasted all kinds of wild vegetables and fruits, as long as they grew here. Not only our village, but also ran to other villages." The more he thought about it, Tao Ran found that his Childhood is very happy.

"In spring, we dig wild vegetables, mushrooms, and sprouts; in summer, we pick snails and water chestnuts; in autumn, weeds and bracken; in winter, we make snowmen. By the way, I picked up a wounded one in winter. Pheasant." Tao Ran said enthusiastically.

"Many of the mushrooms I picked were shiitake mushrooms. At that time, Uncle Sheng Gang in the village had cultivated shiitake mushrooms for several years. Later, he felt that the income was not high and gave up. But those spores may have flown out. As long as it rained in those years, the houses where shiitake mushrooms were grown There will be a lot of shiitake mushrooms nearby, and my dad and I went to pick a lot together."

"As far as the small river in our village is concerned, I used to see a lot of snails. I would pick them up if I had nothing to do. When I picked up enough pots, my mother would fry them for me. There is also water chestnut. There is a small pond in Nantian Village. It is full of wild water chestnuts. But those water chestnuts are too small, and no one will go to pick them. My dad and I have picked them a few times, but they are really too small, and they can’t be cut with a knife.”

"I used to catch hedgehogs in the field, but I didn't meet them in winter when I came out. That winter when I ran to the mountains to play, I felt that the color of the tree was not right, and then I found a pheasant with injured feet. , I took it home and asked my mother to stew it for me, and I made the tail feathers behind it into a shuttlecock.”

"Your life is quite rich all year round. You can find food no matter what season it is." Li Tingzhou listened with warmth in his heart, as if he had played with Tao Ran in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Tao Ran didn't pay attention, but suddenly thought of something, and excitedly said to Li Tingzhou: "I thought of a delicacy in this season, let's go pick it."

After speaking, Tao Ran took Li Tingzhou to the village entrance.Both of them had good physical strength. Tao Ran was a little weak at first, but after drinking Shennong Spring for a long time, his health improved a lot.

The two young and strong boys walked quickly, and arrived at the southernmost side of Taoyuan Village, and then bypassed a tall straw pile. Li Tingzhou could see it from a distance. bud.

Seeing that Li Tingzhou noticed it, Tao Ran said beside him: "I also like to eat scrambled eggs with toon sprouts. When I was young, there were many toon trees in the village. My dad often took me to pick them when I was free. But later, some people didn't like the taste. , to build a house again, the few Chinese toon trees in the village were cut down, and only these few remained at the edge of the village.”

After speaking, the two walked under the toon tree. The toon tree was very tall, and the buds on it were not easy to pick.Li Tingzhou looked at the hands of the two with only bamboo baskets and shovels, and felt that this was a great opportunity for him to show off his skills.

But before he could introduce himself, Tao Ran had already found the tools, which were a few long bamboo poles placed by the side of the road.I saw Tao Ran tie the shovel and the bamboo pole with straw, and explained: "I come here every year to pick the toon buds, so I will put a few long bamboo poles next to them, ready to be used at any time, after all, the bamboo poles are too big. It’s not easy to carry when it’s long.”

"However, it is usually tied to the sickle. We didn't take the sickle today. Fortunately, you sharpened the shovel very sharply, so it should be usable." Tao Ran shook, the shovel was firmly tied to the bamboo pole, don't worry it falls.

Only then did Tao Ran confidently raise the bamboo pole, ready to cut off the toon buds on the tree, and called Li Tingzhou to quickly pick them up under the tree.

Li Tingzhou looked at the sharp little shovel, and began to wonder whether it was wrong for him to actively sharpen the shovel when he heard about digging wild vegetables today.After thinking about it for a while, he heard Tao Ran's urging, so he could only recover and pick up the chopped toon buds.

Now this is the time when the Chinese toon sprouts are just sprouting. Although there are not many, they are very tender and suitable for eating.

So at noon, after Tao Shengwen, Tian Yuxia and Yang Jinjiang came back from Peach King Tree, they saw the feast of wild vegetables on the table.

Yang Jinjiang spotted the plate of toon scrambled eggs with sharp eyes, and immediately regretted it. He walked around the village a lot, but he had never seen a toon tree, and forgot about it.
