MTL - My 1995 Small Farm-v2 Chapter 434 before the festival

  Before Chapter 434

  Sun Yanhong came here this time, very high-spirited.

  The popularity of the lobster shop in the city is beyond many people's expectations.

  By the way, the local aquatic products in Chenwangzhuang are also extremely hot.

  After all, the lobster shop not only has crayfish, but also other dishes made from locally purchased aquatic products in Chenwangzhuang.

   It's only been more than a week, and the money has been earned so fast that she, who has seen the world, is so excited that she can't help but come back to Chen Ling and show him off with the latest share.

   "How about it, am I much more reliable than that old Tian?"

  Sun Yanhong squatted in the yard, helping Chen Ling and the young couple pack up the medicinal materials, while raising her eyebrows triumphantly.

   "His second-class businessman is an outsider after all. As for me, I have made money, and I can share it with you, and I won't cheat us folks. What a great thing."

   "Speak quickly if you have something to say. Just now you shouted about a big deal, and now you are boasting to yourself. You won't be eyeing my family again, right?"

  Chen Ling glanced at her sideways, always feeling that this woman was lowering his guard and laying the groundwork so that we could talk about things next.

   "Ahem, how can there be? You just misunderstood me too deeply."

Sun Yanhong coughed in embarrassment, and said to Wang Susu next to her, "Sister and brother, do you think I have bad intentions? Your family is so rich and shrewd, I dare not fool anyone if I fool you. You count the money, and I get a penny." I dare not lose money from him."

  Wang Susu counted the money, raised her head and smiled at her, but didn't reply.

On the other hand, Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun were at the bottom of the wall of the east house, watching birds with Wang Zhenzhen and Ruirui, while looking back here from time to time. It was obvious that there was such an extra income for Chen Ling's family, and the amount of income was so large, quite surprised.

   However, they were astonished as they were, but they had a good family background and good vision. In addition, they got along very well with Chen Ling's family, so there was no such thing as jealous or not.

   "Sister Mei, don't be distracted. Don't let the scorpion crawl into your pants and sting you later."

  Seeing that Qin Qiumei had been listening to Chen Ling and the others with their ears sideways, Wang Zhenzhen hurriedly reminded her.

"oops."

   "You girl, why are you always playing with these bugs?"

  But the little dolls caught the scorpion from nowhere, surrounded it with stones, put the scorpion in it, like fighting crickets, poked them with a straw pole to make them fight and play with each other.

   Fighting scorpions is indeed different from fighting crickets.

   Scorpions have a characteristic.

   This thing is divided into families.

   One nest of scorpions is a big family, but another nest of scorpions is not. It doesn't matter at all.

  And after the two sides meet, they will fight.

  Strong scorpions will eat weaker ones.

  However, there are always scorpions who are too strong. After winning the battle, they still have more energy, or they follow the cracks in the rocks, or turn over the rocks three times, five times and two times, and run out quickly.

  The little dolls have long been accustomed to this, and they are not afraid at all.

  Even Rui Rui is not afraid.

   Squatting next to Wang Zhenzhen and watching the fierce fight scene, he was amused for a while.

   "Really, you have to pinch the poisonous needle of the scorpion before playing, don't scare your two sisters."

  Wang Susu frowned and shouted.

"Okay, I get it now."

  Wang Zhenzhen responded, but in fact she was reluctant to pinch the poisonous needle of the scorpion.

   Together with a group of little dolls, they whispered together: "Let's catch the scorpion to the stone trough, otherwise the scorpion will not be fierce after pinching the poisonous needle, and it will die quickly. It's not fun at all."

   "Okay, little aunt, we will listen to you."

  Rui Rui also babbled and yelled, his mouth was full of saliva.

  Qin Qiumei and the two hurriedly followed him to wipe him clean, while paying attention to the little guy not to catch the scorpion.

  …

"That's the thing. They are jealous that our lobster shop makes a lot of money. Some come to eat at the shop to steal the teacher, and some find out the general recipe to open a shop and open a small stall, but the business is not as prosperous as ours. I heard people say that the taste is delicious. It's also much worse.

  They had no other choice, so they asked me to join us, and wanted to work with us, which meant opening a chain store.

   Otherwise, in my shop, people come here from about 11:00 am every day, until three or four o'clock at night, and people still stay, and if there are too many people, they have to queue up.

In the past few days, people from the provincial capital have come to talk to me, but I haven't paid any attention to it, and now I just want to find my reliable old buddy to cooperate first, such as the one I brought to see the dog last time Lao Yu, Yu Bangjin from the instant noodle factory. "

  Sun Yanhong didn't shy away from anything, she just talked about it in the yard, and she talked about it.

   "I mean, I want to ask Fu Gui what your opinion is..."

   Chen Ling grinned when he heard the words: "I don't understand business, and I don't want to get involved. You can do whatever you like. Chain stores are chain stores, and branch stores are branch stores. I can't worry about that."

"No, I mean, you gave me the recipe for cooking, and I still count on you to give me a new recipe. To open a chain store, I need to add more flavors and special dishes, otherwise, the recipe for crayfish will be lost after a long time. There will always be a day when someone finds out.

   And the wine in your farm is also very important for people to recognize us.

  Without you escorting me, where would I have the confidence..."

  Sun Yanhong is telling the truth.

  She is not afraid of other people coming to the dark. Now there is chaos outside. Even in the city, if you go outside in the dark, you can see fights everywhere on the roadside. Her friends can eat a lot, so she is not afraid of this.

   I'm afraid that other people will come here seriously and use formal means to steal her business.

   "Oh, yes, there are some people who are fumbling and starting to make crayfish now, right?"

   Chen Ling thought about it, there is nothing mysterious about this thing, a chef with real skills can figure out how to do it after a few more experiments.

   "Okay then, I'll write you a new menu with some new tricks and new eating methods.

   Take these things out slowly. These things are used to keep customers, and then to grab customers from others. "

  When Sun Yanhong heard this, she was both happy and surprised. She thought she would have to give her a hard time, but she didn't expect to give it to her so easily.

   "Okay, okay, originally I used your farm's wine as a killer weapon, but you refused to brew more, so I have to save some to get it out..."

   "I'm relieved after you wrote the new menu."

   "By the way, I came by car and brought some things, should I put them in the village or in the farm."

  Chen Ling laughed: "If you come to send money, you can give it away. We are all partners, so what else can we buy?"

   "Look at what you said, there are younger siblings and dolls, it's not good for me to be empty-handed."

  Sun Yanhong can now see that as long as she doesn't fool around and interacts with this kid in a serious manner, she can get along very comfortably.

   It could also be seen that Chen Ling cared about his family very much.

  So I always had a smile on Wang Susu's face and kept talking good things.

   It is that Wang Susu is not very good at talking to people like her, and always feels very slippery and fake, which inexplicably makes her feel tense.

   But now that she has partnered with Chen Ling to do some business, she naturally treats her as a normal customer.

   And after going out and seeing the things in Sun Yanhong's car, she was even more shocked: "Oh, there are so many things, it's summer."

   There are big and small bags, there are food and fun, and some of them look like beef. It should be because I heard that Chen Ling's family likes to eat local yellow beef.

  These foods can fill up the small water tower.

  Sun Yanhong smiled when she heard the words: "This does look like a lot, but a small half is not for us to eat. I saw a lot of rotten meat left in the raw butcher shop, so I bought it for Hei Wa and the others."

  Good guy, in addition to things for adults and children, there are also things for dogs.

  Wang Susu couldn't help opening her small mouth slightly, her eyes were full of surprise.

  Chen Ling was quite speechless at the side, and this woman was too good at doing what she liked.

   If you go to someone else's house, they will not be happy to bring this kind of thing, they must have some opinions in their hearts.

   But Chen Ling's family likes dogs, and they feed a lot of dogs. Those guys' stomachs are like a bottomless pit. If it weren't for them hunting outside for food, it would be a huge expense to feed the dogs every day.

  Sun Yanhong brought meat to feed the dogs, just following the wishes of their family.

  Back to the farm after a while of tossing.

   In addition to writing a few new menus for this woman, Chen Ling also asked her to take away more than a dozen jars of persimmon wine brewed in autumn last year.

   Of course, she paid for this too.

   But, this persimmon wine is quite strong enough, and it will definitely be enough in the lobster shop.

  In the next two days, the old men of Zhao Dahai's family were busy building thatched huts on the slope.

It took a lot of people, and Qin Qiumei came here all day long, but Zhao Dahai and his children are here, so she can't help, so she will help Wang Susu bring the baby, and play together for a while at two homes inside and outside the village .

  Chen Ling naturally had the opportunity to be lazy.

   took this opportunity to take the dog into the mountains on the grounds of collecting herbs.

  When he arrived in the mountains, besides collecting herbs, he went to the earth dragons that were active around the Miasma Mountain and the wetlands.

   It's just this trip, Tulong saw it.

  In a very hidden place in the wetland, a large nest was also built. In fact, it is no different from a bird’s nest. It is a nest made of grass. The eggs inside are like snake eggs, about 30.

   Chen Ling was quite satisfied with this.

  It proves that the surrounding environment is indeed getting better, and the Chinese alligator can quickly adapt and reproduce.

  But there is no clue or new discovery on the Miasma Valley.

   Ancient tombs and the like, he is not professional in this area, and he can't see anything.

   On the way home, he encountered a group of jackals again.

  This group of guys has been very active recently, and it seems that it is also the breeding season.

   Unusual excitement, restlessness.

  Chen Ling didn't bother with them too much, and didn't hurt them too much. He just caught another male jackal and threw it into the cave, then let the dog chase them away, and continued on his way.

   After two days of leisure, it finally entered the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

   As soon as it enters the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

  When it came to the first day of May, I felt that the atmosphere in the village was very different.

   There were no people at the head and tail of the village, and it became lively all at once.

  This is the beginning of preparations for the Dragon Boat Festival.

  This year’s Dragon Boat Festival is unusual.

  The county is going to hold a dragon boat race in their village, which is directly treating this place as a temple fair.

  Let the whole village feel radiant.

   It's not just the first day of junior high school, but I'm busy and busy with joy, as if it's about to celebrate the new year.

  The reservoir and Laohewan are also full of aunts and aunts from the village, picking the big and thick reed leaves in the reed marshes by the shallow water.

  The little dolls followed behind, pulled out the reed buds, put the mandrel inside their mouths and played with whistles.

   There are also fish and shrimp catchers.

The women are too lazy to care about them, and they chat easily on their own. After a while, they pull over this one to have a look, and after a while, they pull over the other one to have a look. When they see that they are wide and good, they just push down gently, and the leaf stalks are aligned with the leaves. The reed snapped off.

  Chen Ling went around the reservoir, and there were a lot of people here.

  Go to Laohewan, where many people are picking reed leaves.

   "Third Aunt, are you coming to prepare the reed leaves for making zongzi?"

   "Yes, get ready early, this year our village will have a big scene, and there must be more relatives coming."

   "That's true."

   "Fugui, doesn't your family pick more reed leaves?"

   "Pick, put the horses around first, let's go for a walk."

  Chen Ling originally wanted to take out the reed leaves from the cave, but at this time there were too many people and it was inconvenient, so he had to wait.

   Anyway, he came out to let the horses out.

  There are a lot of lotus roots growing here in Laohewan.

   At this time, it is the season when the lotus root is blooming. The white lotus with light yellow stamens, against the backdrop of green lotus leaves, looks extraordinarily enchanting.

   There are also large groups of water birds wandering in the distance.

  The view is very good.

  Chen Ling let the little green horse move freely, and found a place by himself under a big tree by the river, spread out some green grass and lay down comfortably, pillowed on the protruding old tree roots, and closed his eyes comfortably.

   Until the women finished picking the reed leaves, the voice of speaking faded away.

  Chen Ling suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes, his nose was itchy, and he couldn't help but sneezed twice in a row.

  Opening his eyes, he laughed angrily. It turned out that his own kite spread its wings wide and stood on the tree trunk beside his head, as if it was shielding him from the sun.

   But in fact, this Dahan bird is not so kind.

   It didn’t know where it had just taken a bath at this time, its feathers were wet all over, and it was basking in the sun with its wings open.

   "Okay, Erbald, you can play tricks on people, right?"

  Chen Ling stretched out his hand and flicked its forehead.

  The second bald man yelled "嘎", and jumped away with his wings spread, but his light yellow eyes showed a very happy expression. He tilted his head to look at Chen Ling, and then leaned over to play with him.

  Chen Ling stretched out his hand and fought with it a few times. Seeing that there was no one in Laohewan, he got up, took off his shoes and clothes, and jumped into the water with a plop, ready to have a fun time.

  Seeing this, the little green horse in the distance also spread its hooves and ran over, rumbling into the water to have fun.

  The second bald man stood obediently on the stone by the river. After drying his wings, he suddenly soared into the sky and fell into a wheat field.

   Then he grabbed a prey, as if asking for credit, circled over the Old River Bend for a while, and threw it on the river bank.

   After Chen Ling brought the little green horse to play happily in the river, he found that there were four old yellow quails lying quietly on the river bank.

   "Hey, the second bald man did a great job, and he also knows how to pick the old yellow quail."

  Praise this big fool.

  Chen Ling did not forget to take out the reed leaves, and then mounted the horse, hung the prey and the reed leaves beside the little green horse, and called the falcons to gallop home together.

  After returning home, brush the reed leaves a little, because the back of some leaves is dirty and insects will fall.

   Although the cave is cleaner, Wang Susu and his wife don’t know about it.

  And the washed reed leaves are scalded in boiling water, so that the leaves will become flexible and not easy to be damaged.

  There are two or three indentations on the top of the reed leaf, which were formed during the growth process, so they are not afraid of folding.

   Don’t worry if the reed leaves are dry, they can still be used, and the fragrance won’t be lost after making zongzi.

  The reed leaves are relatively narrow, so they can only make triangular zongzi, but it is a bit difficult to make four-cornered zongzi.

   Fortunately, there is an old man in the family, such as a treasure.

  Chen Ling and the young couple didn't know how to deal with it, so Gao Xiulan took care of it.

  In addition to the short and thick triangular rice dumplings, there are also tall, thin and thin long-legged rice dumplings, plump and strong ax rice dumplings, and closed door rice dumplings that are said to be cooked and hung on the hooks of mosquito nets to drive away mosquitoes.

  Old ladies can make bags.

  Even Chen Ling said to try making zongzi with lotus leaves, the old lady would do it too.

  The materials used to make the zongzi are also various.

   There are red beans, peanut kernels, red dates, bean paste...

  The most commonly eaten every year are mainly zongzi made of red dates, red beans, and peanuts.

   There are also white rice dumplings without any ingredients.

  Same as Chen Ling’s family, as soon as May comes, every household in the village is not busy doing anything else. They all stay at home to cook reed leaves and make zongzi, just waiting for the Dragon Boat Festival.

   Many people even said that they started to receive relatives two days before the fifth day of May.
