Immediately afterwards, someone muttered in a low voice: "Mom, tell me why you didn't listen to me, just to order food like that? Just tell me what food you want to eat. Xiao Hua is in charge of the food station. It can be any less." Isn’t it yours?”
If Xiao Quning hadn't been gifted with sensitive senses, he might not have been able to hear what this person was saying. Like Qu Yiyi and Qu Changjiang, they only heard vague human voices and knew that there was another person outside.
No matter what, the door still has to open. Qu Yi put the garlic back into the basket, covered it with the cotton mattress, and then replied: "Hey, here we come~"
The person standing outside the door is really her old acquaintance, Mrs. Zhang. The lesbian standing next to her is quite unfamiliar. She looks like she is in her thirties, with short ear-length hair and a bright red face. The scarf and the cotton coat on her body particularly show off her waist, and she looks very neat.
Of course, Mrs. Zhang knew that Qu Yi was looking at the people around her, so she introduced her, "This is my daughter, you can just call her Meizi. Look at her eyes, right? She, she has been following her son-in-law in the southwest in the past few years." Over there, this is also the talent to come back. Meizi, this is your sister Yiyi..."
"It's great. My children are all around. You, just wait and enjoy the blessings!" After getting to know each other, Qu said these words one by one. It really spoke to the heart of Mrs. Zhang. She was right in her heart. Mei Zi, who was unhappy, looked a little calmer.
There was no need for them to go looking for it, because the boss had a wicker basket in the middle of the room, and they could see it as soon as they entered the door. And because the room is so hot and not very ventilated, the unique mellow aroma of bacon becomes more and more obvious, going straight into people's noses. It is also mixed with a clear and sweet taste, and a hint of spiciness. Yes, it's like the spiciness of garlic.
Meizi couldn't hold it back for a moment, and swallowed twice in a row. Her face was not only red, but also a little hot. She never expected that she would be so greedy. Just smelling it made her saliva flow out, and she couldn't help but take a few deep breaths. She quietly opened the pocket of her coat, took a glance, and felt extremely regretful - there was only one food stamp, one five-yuan note, and two one-dollar bills inside.
This is not enough...
Meizi suddenly felt a little worried. She completely forgot how reluctant she was when she came with the old lady. She felt that it was not necessary at all. The vegetable station was full of... yes, the cabbage, radish and potatoes in the vegetable station were all on a cart. It’s a truck, but it’s incomparable to the one here!
But Mrs. Zhang seemed to have forgotten to buy groceries and only focused on talking to Xiao Qu Ning. The old man and the young man were chatting animatedly. Meizi couldn't stand it any longer and gently touched the old lady with her elbow to remind her.
It didn't seem like the old lady had really forgotten. She didn't think of business until she received the look from her daughter. As the saying goes, once is familiar, twice is familiar. People like Mrs. Zhang who are familiar can no longer be familiar with each other. Of course, there is no need to engage in those empty-headed things. It is the right thing to get straight to the point.
"Is there cabbage?" In fact, she didn't even need to nod her head. The old lady could smell it. Their cabbage was clear, sweet, and fragrant. It was different from other cabbages. "Bring me two cabbages. Ming It's the winter solstice, and I just want to make some dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage to satisfy their cravings. Can you give me a piece of bacon? Our family also makes bacon, and it tastes like this. It's so different... "
After saying this, she sniffed a few times. She was enjoying it at first, but when she smelled it, she felt something was wrong. "This smell... Why does it smell so much like yellow garlic?"
"Yes, yes, it smells like yellow garlic to me." Meizi said repeatedly. She originally felt that this scent was very familiar, but now she thought about it, it smelled like yellow garlic. It was slightly spicier than garlic. The spiciness is lighter, but it has a bit more flavor. Fortunately, she was still doing shopping in a state-owned hotel, so she didn't realize it earlier.
Okay, I can't get over it.
Qu Yiyi simply opened the cotton mattress covering the basket, and two solid bundles of bright yellow and tender white garlic rushed into the sight of the old lady and Mei Zi, making the two of them feel excited. See the feeling of spring.
Rare, so rare!
Even in the city, if you want to eat fresh vegetables in the middle of winter, you have to have a way, let alone a small county like theirs. In winter, the only vegetables at the vegetable station are cabbage, potatoes and radishes, which is very monotonous. The same goes for the state-owned hotel where Meizi works. No matter how good the chef's skills are, there are not many dishes for them to show off.
I never expected that there would be such fresh and tender garlic here in Quyiyi! !
"We want all the hotels!" Meizi stood up with a slap on her thigh, and said with great pride, especially the posture of the director of the purchasing department.
Not to mention whether Qu Yiyi would agree to it later, Mrs. Zhang stopped, "You want them all in the hotel? Where did you leave me? If you can ask for them all, it will be your turn? It's a beautiful idea."
"No, no, no, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I'm not talking about this -" Mei Zi quickly explained, "I mean, if your planting scale is relatively large, you can send the uneaten food to our hotel. Even if our hotel can't eat it, I can also contact the food station for you, and you can rest assured that the price will definitely not be low."
Qu Changjiang smacked his lips after hearing this. What a great opportunity it is to be able to connect with the National Day Restaurant and vegetable station. It's a pity. It's a pity that Liang Nuankan's garlic is grown at home. He told the truth about how much he had planted, how much he could cut, how many crops he had planted, and how much he could probably keep.
"You can still cut two bundles in one crop, right? OK, OK, let's take it!" Mei Zi thinks that two bundles are too few, but it's better than nothing. "The second crop, if the quality is not too different from the first crop." , and also reserved it for our hotel, the price is negotiable!”
Meizi has always been very fickle in her work. When she heard Qu Changjiang said that he couldn't take the idea, she immediately proposed to go to their house to talk to the person in charge. She wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible. After all, the nights were long and she had many dreams. If something unexpected happened, her happiness would be in vain.
Qu Changjiang also thought this incident was a good thing, so of course he agreed wholeheartedly. After the decision was made, Mei Zi immediately pushed her bicycle out and followed Qu Changjiang and Xiao Qu Ning to Shuangqu Commune.
As for those of you who have good things to do, when you saw Qu Changjiang going out and bringing back a pretty woman, you immediately started shouting, "Changjiang, what are you doing? Why did you bring a woman back?"
I really can't think about this carefully. Once I think about it, it just doesn't sound right.
Qu Changjiang was startled by these words and broke into a cold sweat. His legs were so weak that he almost couldn't support the car. He quickly explained: "Don't, don't, don't talk nonsense! This lesbian is the director of the purchasing department of a state-owned hotel. You came to us for business."
As soon as the name of the Director of the Purchasing Department was mentioned, no matter how talkative people were, they were no longer interested in the previous topic. They now wanted to know what kind of business this female cadre was going to do. Could it be that she was here to collect game? Thinking of this, they were still a little excited.
Qu Changjiang was so noisy that his head hurt, "Stop, stop, stop, what's the use of asking me? I'm nothing. If you really want to know, just ask this lesbian..."
Then forget it, retreat, retreat.
Without these people blocking their way, they finally arrived at the door of their house smoothly.
"Second brother? Why are you back so early? Didn't you say you were going to buy candied haws for your dear baby?" Qu Zhongdong didn't see the plums behind him at first because of the Qu Yangtze River, but when he walked closer, he realized An unfamiliar lesbian asked, "Who are you?"
Meizi briefly introduced her identity, and then stated the purpose of her trip very directly, "I am here to talk to you about the acquisition of Garlic Yellow."
Good thing, great thing!
Qu Zhongdong's thoughts are much deeper than Qu Changjiang's. If the acquisition of Garlic Yellow is successful, given the scale of the state-owned hotel, it is not something that their family can afford... If they just want this one share, no matter how much profit they make, they will not last long. , once word gets out that you can grow yellow garlic in winter, some people will naturally follow suit. Growing garlic yellow itself is not complicated. As long as you are willing, the dealer can study the methods thoroughly. By then, anyone who wants to can grow garlic will be able to grow it. Instead of doing this, it is better to lead the production team to work together, occupy the pit first, and let the villagers benefit from it.
Meizi prices garlic sprouts at eighty cents per catty. Considering that seasonal fruits and vegetables in summer and autumn only cost one or two cents per catty, this price is already very impressive.
"Okay, we'll pay this price for this crop, no problem. But are these two bundles enough?" Qu Zhongdong agreed, and then he asked.
"How can it be possible? Let alone just two bundles in one or twenty days. Even if we supply ten or eight bundles every day, our restaurant can still eat it. It is not easy to eat fresh vegetables in the winter. We eat cabbage and potatoes every day. Who wouldn't get tired of carrots after a long time? Even if your family is not well-off, you still want to try something new every now and then, let alone if the conditions are good." After the matter was negotiated, a big stone in Meizi's heart fell to the ground, and she also I felt very emotional.
"There are ten or eight bundles every day. If every family in our production team grows it, we can provide it..." Qu Zhongdong understood.
"Are you planning to teach the entire production team how to grow garlic seedlings?!" It's easier to talk to a smart person, and Meizi immediately understood what Qu Zhongdong meant.
"Dad, no, no, no!" Before anyone else could say anything, Qu Changjiang jumped up. It’s only seventy cents per pound. If they were to grow it all winter, they would have to charge dozens of dollars at least. Why should they teach it to others?
Before Qu Zhongdong could train him, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, and someone shouted "Mei Zi, Mei Zi" outside.
The matter was stopped for the time being, and everyone left the house to look outside. The man who came was tall and big, wrapped in a military coat and wearing big-toed shoes. He looked energetic and looked like a cadre in the city. This person is very familiar. Her man, Xiao Hua, is the person in charge of the food station.
"Mei Zi, why didn't you call me?" Xiao Hua was still aggrieved. They agreed that they would be a husband and wife and enjoy the blessings together. Why didn't you call him when there was such a good thing!
