Before the first two acres of cherry radish interplanted matured, Jiang Wenmei made almost one phone call a day.
Jiangxian Hotel is famous among the circle of friends of the richest man in the county because of the first batch of cherry radishes.
For a whole month, many banquet guests requested this dish!
It's not that Jiangxian Hotel couldn't find other suppliers. During this period, her general manager spent a lot of money to purchase cherry radishes from many other places.
It’s just that it was airlifted back from abroad!
It's a pity that none can compare to You Yujia.
Colleagues in the purchasing department asked her openly and covertly about the supplier of cherry radishes.
The fake scholar at Sansu Restaurant tried to treat her to a big dinner again and again, but she gritted her teeth and resisted!
Seeing that the radishes were almost ripe again, I didn't dare to be careless.
On May 23, at around six o'clock in the morning, just after dawn, Jiang Wenmei drove a small truck to Yougoubian Village.
On the truck were eight empty plastic baskets (standard for transporting vegetables locally).
Grandma You, who is used to getting up early, saw her just a few minutes after opening the door. She was very puzzled: "Director Jiang, are you taking this dish back for breakfast?"
It's time for lunch. You come here an hour and a half early. How fresh it is!
Jiang Wenmei gave Grandma You another box of milk and a bunch of bananas, smiling bitterly in her heart.
Recently, someone is following her every day when she goes to and from get off work, maybe just to make a time difference.
"Grandma You, they say the early bird catches the worm! Come early, the radish will be more juicy when you pull it out!"
Grandma You: Okay, you are the customer and you have the final say.
Selling money is important, why make breakfast? Grandpa You and You Yu were also woken up by the old lady.
Grandpa You pedaled a human-powered three-wheeled truck and drove all the plastic baskets on the truck to the peanut field.
The morning in early summer is still slightly cool, the dew on the vegetable leaves is still there, and in addition to the faint smell of manure, there is also the fragrance of vegetables in the air.
Peanut Field is a twenty-minute walk from You Yu's house, and it only takes eight or nine minutes for the old man to ride a tricycle.
By the time the three female generals arrived in the field, Grandpa You had already pulled out half of the basket.
Jiang Wenmei couldn't help but start swallowing her saliva when she saw the rouge-colored radish pulled out of the sand.
"Sister, why don't we have breakfast at your house! You provide radishes and dry rice, and I asked my brother to buy a few kilograms of Pipi shrimps from the seafood market in Chengdu this morning! We should be able to deliver them after we finish our work. .”
She sent all the extra radishes home last time, and she didn't enjoy them herself.
In her previous purchasing experience, when had such a situation occurred?
"No problem, the seafood can be cooked on low heat! My radish tassel omelette and cold salad are both delicious. I guarantee you can make two bowls of rice in the morning."
"Can you please apply for giving me raw radish as after-meal fruit?"
"If you want it, enough is enough!"
With the motivation to eat a big meal, the two young men pulled out quickly.
A plastic basket weighs fifty pounds, and eight large baskets were filled in just over an hour.
A human-powered tricycle can only carry four baskets at a time, so it took the old man two trips to transport them all.
A quarter of the first batch of ripe cherry radishes has been pulled out.
Jiang Wenmei looked at all the radishes in You Yu's house, as if inspecting her own fish pond.
After learning that half of the first batch would not be sold, my reaction was very intense: "Sister, is it too extravagant to save half of these expensive radishes for eating? Isn't it too luxurious to make enough money after selling them?"
"You can eat whatever you want! Do you know that my cherry radish seeds are so expensive? Half of them are from saved seeds!"
You Yu: Even if she wants to eat it, her grandparents won’t agree.
"Don't lie to me! There are no vegetable varieties cultivated by the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, especially this kind of hybrid variety!" Jiang Wenmei has been working in purchasing agricultural products for many years and has a lot of common sense.
You Yu spread his hands: "The boss who sold me the seeds said yes, let's sue. If it succeeds, I can get dozens of kilograms of seeds. Oh, no, it's not a big problem. I still have peanuts for interplanting."
Manager Jiang was convinced by this powerful reason and reluctantly looked at the cute radishes many times.
As promised to calm down the situation, You Yu couldn't help but continue fussing and gathered ten kilograms of ingredients for breakfast.
After returning home, several people were busy weighing and calculating. The net weight was 413 kilograms!
"Hey, sister, I'll buy these thirteen pounds with my own money, okay? Let my brother take it home to eat later."
Her hometown is in Ren County, which is relatively close to Chengdu. It takes more than an hour to drive to Jiang County.
Her brother called her seven or eight times because of this carrot, and even took the initiative to be her errand boy to help deliver the goods.
"Yes, I'll give it to Sister Jiang for two yuan a pound!" If it's a few pounds, you'll give it away, but You Yu won't part with more than ten pounds.
"Girl, you're awesome!" It's good that she can buy it at zero, and it's cheaper than the wholesale price. Jiang Wenmei beamed.
Grandma You cooked a pot full of rice in the rice cooker.
The radish leaves that had left the vegetable field less than an hour ago were green and green, and the petioles had a light rouge color.
After simply blanching it to drain the water, I chose the hot, sour, sweet and sour salad method.
Not much salt and soy sauce is used, so it's good as a pre-dinner salad.
Stir ten free-range eggs into the egg liquid and put finely chopped radish tassels inside.
Simply add some salt, pepper, and MSG, and spread it into a plate-sized egg pancake in a wood-burning stove pot.
Brown and crispy shell, sweet and fresh chopped vegetables.
Before it was served on the table, You Yu and Jiang Wenmei stole two pieces.
Seeing that the guests enjoyed their meal, Grandma You was so happy that she made a new dish on the spot.
Cut the fresh radish tassels, leaves and stems into two sections, and then wrap the whole body with mixed noodles (cornmeal + flour).
Put it in a steamer and steam it over high heat for six minutes.
Since there are no other seasonings, a red oil dipping sauce is also provided.
As soon as the food was served, Jiang Wenmei's brother drove to You Yu's house.
Brother Jiang, who is in his thirties, works as a physical education teacher at a high school in Chengdu. His biggest hobby is self-driving travel.
I am a seasoned foodie who knows all the delicious and fun places in the province.
Not only did I complete the task assigned by the girl, I also bought eight pounds of Pippi shrimps that are as long as an adult’s hand.
I bought a sea bass and a bag of small abalone with my own money.
"Sorry to disturb you two old people, thank you for supporting my sister's work! Your cherry radish is the best I have ever tasted!"
There was no unwelcome guest who was polite and courteous, and the old couple greeted him with smiles.
You Yu stared at the oxygenated seafood bag. The fish and shrimp inside were still alive and kicking.
After leaving Shenzhen City, she hadn't eaten these kinds of seafood in months!
Busy and Jiang Wenmei helped kill the fish, remove the scales, and brush the baby abalone.
The small steamer in the wood-fired stove was replaced by a large steamer, ready to steam seafood in one pot.
