Xiaobei’s ingredients were not delivered from Chang’an. There was not enough time and it was not taken in Luoyang. It was also delayed. It was Xiaobei who was transferred from Shanzhou. Shanzhou is next to Guozhou, which is Hongzhou. The state capital of agriculture.
Compared with Hongnong, which has a river that enters the Yellow River, Shanzhou is located on the edge of the Yellow River. The water and clouds face the Bihai Yinsha restaurant. There is no shortage of ingredients. Even if you need to provide food for Hongnong, you don’t need a restaurant. High-end ingredients.
An order from Xiaobei’s radio station was sent. Yesterday afternoon, two restaurants in Shanzhou sent people to Lao Liushu Village as quickly as possible. The ingredients arrived early this morning and a few top-heavy cooks who were riding high on horseback were accompanied. Here, we have to sit in the restaurant.
The children don’t know that the ingredients are not easy to come by. They almost emptied the reserves of the two restaurants, and the two restaurants have to apply for transfers from other places. The children only know that Beckham is very loyal and he can eat immediately. superior.
"Let the masters go to rest first. There are a lot of people and you can eat it at night. I will deal with it at noon." Seeing that his sister wanted to arrange the children to eat at noon, Xiaohai stopped her.
"Yes, it's very tiring to rush all the way. Let's rest first. We will deal with it by ourselves at noon." Beckham hurriedly greeted the manpower arrangement and patted the belly of a big belly chef: "You must not eat less often."
"Xiaobei Little Lady Shengming." The chef confessed happily, who is the cook who doesn't steal the food? When the master teaches the apprentice, he will set aside a special dish for the apprentice to taste.
Beckham showed a very powerful expression of me and turned around to help move the goods. Some of the goods are fresh, such as specially fed piglets, pufferfish raised with low toxin content, crabs that are fat in autumn, and used to boil. The hazel chicken for making soup, also known as the "Flying Dragon", was transported from the Bohai Governor's Mansion.
The children also leaned forward to look. They had seen very few of them, and most of them couldn't recognize what it was. When they had children, they asked Xiaobei: "Sister Xiaobei, what is it that shrank into a ball?"
"Let’s take a look, it’s called the sting head, the head of the jellyfish, it’s dry, the jellyfish head from last year, or the year before last, the new jellyfish head tastes bad."
Beckham didn't eat less good food, so he recognized it at a glance.
"Sister Xiaobei, this, what is this?" the other kid also asked.
Beckham leaned over and watched: "I said the abalone I asked you to eat is difficult to handle. Depending on the size, it should be six abalones, only 20, and the rest are abalones with more than ten abalones. How do you divide it?"
"Bei Bei, why cut the abalone?"
"It's convenient for drying. The six-headed abalone I mean refers to the abalone that weighs six per catty after drying. Six fresh abalones are worthless per catty."
"Bei Bei, the big piece is beef, isn't it?"
"Look at it, oh, it's roe deer meat, used to stew hazel mushrooms. The hazel mushrooms have been marinated, and the one next to it is the shark's fin. I don't know what shark's fin is. Anyway, it's not heaven. Nine wings."
"Bei Bei, and the red-bellied toad?"
"Brother calls it the forest frog. The best one is toad oil. It is probably braised in red, or it is steamed and drenched in sauce, but it doesn't taste good when fried."
"Crabs are really big. I heard people say that the crabs in Taihu Lake are delicious. Is it there?"
"No, the crabs in Taihu Lake are in a row of tubs next to them. The number is small. What you see are large crabs. They are not valuable. My family raises them. I wanted to bring drunken crabs. But there are too few drunken crabs in the restaurant. When I first drink a small bowl of ginger soup, my brother is not willing to let our children eat too many crabs."
"Xiaobei Xiaobei, I know this. It's called kelp. Grandpa Murata bought it. It's very expensive and used to make prescriptions."
"It won't be expensive in the future. Our village has made money. I went to Jilizhou to buy it. The cost of breeding and the cost of transportation, but you are not allowed to sell it, you can only eat it yourself."
Xiaobei kept asking people around. Even so, she was not asked. She could say everything, and even talk about several ways. I think she doesn't eat less.
The children's eyes looked at Beckham even more admiration.
"Sister Xiaobei, what does the current emperor really eat?" a child asked uncertainly, looking at the direction of Chang'an.
Xiaobei nodded vigorously: "Really, the difference is that the person who did it was not the second kitchen I transferred, but the imperial kitchen in the palace."
"The emperor must have eaten the best, right?"
"No, I’m the one who eats the best. The dishes in the Imperial Kitchen are not as many as in my restaurant. I mainly have a good brother. Uncle the emperor wants to eat his brother’s dishes. Change the law and give us good food to eat.
Every few days, my elder brother would bring out a new kind of dish, and he would give it to us first, and then we would send it to the palace and restaurant after we had eaten it. There were a lot of expensive snacks, and my elder brother wouldn’t let the emperor know about it. "
Beckham said proudly.
The children are full of envy. It's nice to have an older brother who is capable and spoils himself.
When Beckham showed his abilities and the children were looking forward to eating delicious food in the evening, a crowd of people appeared on the opposite side of the chain bridge in Old Liushu Village.
Compared with the previous publicity when the Japanese Watanabe Juro directly crossed the bridge, the group of people on the other side looked very honest, not only people, but also carts with horses or donkeys.
The line stopped there, and a man with a round face wearing brocade walked out of the crowd, afraid to cross the bridge directly, standing at the end of the bridge and shouting.
"On the other side is Zhang Xiaobei and Master Zhang's trip? Are the children in Hongnong County all there?"
"Who?" The guard standing here asked with a gun.
"Da Tang, don't shoot." The voice from the other side was obviously afraid.
"Identity." Unmoved, the guard continued to ask.
"Shanzhou, Zhoucheng, Linhe Street, Yu's young seedling firm is the leader, Yu Yiqiu." The opposite immediately replied.
"What are you doing here?" the guard asked again.
"Send cucumbers, garlic sprouts, spinach and Chinese cabbage, plus a batch of cultural and ink supplies."
"Come here by yourself." The guard is still vigilant.
"Okay, okay." The person on the other side walked towards the bridge by himself, and a gust of wind blew him, plus he was fat, the bridge swayed, scared him to squat down, holding the bridge with his hand, giving a kind of The feeling of precariousness.
Finally, the one who claimed to be Yu Yiqiu climbed across the bridge, panting hard with his hands on the piers on this side of the bridge, his face pale in fright.
The guard at the bridge head leaned over, his voice no longer as harsh as before, and said, "You must search first."
"Understand, understand, search, I understand, we Xiaobei is expensive, we can't be sloppy, there are people who want to be against Xiaobei, I am the first to not agree." Yu Yiqiu spoke very well, raised his arm, and stood. He stayed motionless there, waiting to be searched, and after speaking, he took the initiative to open his mouth and let people check if there was anything in the mouth.
The guards searched earnestly. They pulled out a stack of paper from Yu Yiqiu's waist cloth, and opened it carefully. It was a copy of the document of Yu's Young Miao Firm where Yu Yiqiu was located, and it was also stamped with the seal of the state government of Shanzhou. , It seems that the business is not small, otherwise it is generally only stamped with the county seal.
"Brother, also, sandwiched between the penultimate sheet and the third sheet." Yu Yiqiu remembered to remind.
The guard turned over in Yiyan. Inside was a piece of oil-printed hard paper with a pattern of a rising sun shining down from two white clouds. Underneath was a field with rice seedlings growing on each seedling. I opened a small face and looked sideways at the light. There are three light prints of constantly changing colors with the word "Chaoyang" on it.
There is also a portrait of Yu Yiqiu, which is very realistic, followed by a steel seal in the lower right corner.
"Yudong's house wait a minute, I'll report to Little Lady Xiaobei." The guard's attitude changed, his tone of voice was not so blunt, and his face seemed to have a smile on his face.
"It's easy to say, I'm not in a hurry, the food is tightly covered, the sky is not cold, and the freezing is not bad." Yu Yi asked to see that the guard's attitude changed, feeling a great honor.
When the guard arrived in front of Xiaobei, Xiaobei and a group of children had stopped talking and were looking towards the bridge.
"Who?" Beckham asked curiously when the guard came closer.
"Shanzhou, Zhoucheng, Linhe Street, Yu Yiqiu, the owner of the Yu's Young Miao Commercial Firm, said that he had brought vegetables and a batch of stationery. In addition to the official documents and stamps of the state government, there was also a color post for participating in the'Chaoyang Action'. It's been checked, really."
The guard did not talk nonsense and reported concisely.
Xiaobei was surprised: "Then let him come, oh, don't come here, first send electricity to Shanzhou, to verify, since it is a business in Chaoyang, I will talk to him at close range for a while."
"Yes." The guard led the way and went to the bridge, and began to gossiping with Yu Yiqiu, but he was not allowed to come, and someone else sent a message to Shanzhou for inquiries.
Shanzhou responded very quickly, replying to the news to confirm, and also described Yu Yiqiu's appearance.
"Okay, let's go, try not to move your hands and feet too much, otherwise..." The guard stepped aside, begging Yu Yi for warning.
"I understand, I understand, otherwise it will cause misunderstandings, kill it on the spot, thank you, thank you, it's worth it, and finally I can see what Beckham looks like with my own eyes." Yu Yiqiu has a flattering smile on his chubby face Added.
The so-called close range is different from Watanabe Shiburo. There is no limit of the ten-step distance, and there is no need to kneel down, and Beckham has never changed his official uniform.
Yu Yiqiu walked to the front of Beckham, stopped at a distance of two steps, put his hands behind him honestly, and smiled sweeter. It is not easy for a big man to laugh like this.
Xiaobei also laughed, but it looks better than Yuyi's chuckle: "Good Yudong, the business of Chaoyang Action, isn't it?"
"Yes, Xiaobei, you are so good-looking. My granddaughter is one year old this year, and half of you will be good-looking in the future. I am also content. I have sent a lot of vegetables. I heard that there are many children here, so I can’t lack vegetables. It’s all covered with quilts, and even a garlic sprout won’t break. You can ask someone to check it out to see if it is poisonous."
Yu Yiqiu was shy and said with a smile.
Xiaobei also smiled and nodded, and suddenly asked: "Can you tell me, how do you know I am here?"
The children around nodded, agreeing with what Beckham asked.
Yu Yiqiu took a step back, because Xiaobei's words were suspicious, so he had to avoid suspicion.
"I often go to Bihaiyinsha, and I know Xiaofan, the guy on the third floor. Yesterday afternoon, Bihaiyinsha suddenly assembled a lot of things to leave. There is also the water and clouds on the opposite side. That is all your family's business.
I happened to be eating, I wondered, what's wrong? I asked the merchant I invited to find a reason. I came out, and I asked Xiao Fan. He said that you are nearby and want ingredients to cook. There are many Hongnong children.
I know about Hongnong’s affairs. My officials in Shanzhou are half arrested. Hongnong’s Chaoyang operation business must have suffered heavy losses and make up for the missing items. I just thought, Shanzhou’s children are children, and Hongnong’s children are too. Kid, right
In the autumn, there is still a lot of money left at home. In addition, there are a lot of vegetables. The greens of the firm can’t sell very good prices. It is low season. I made a lot of garlic seedlings that your brother got last time. Now it has become a signature. .
I wondered, anyway, there are many vegetables at home, and I will give some. I told Xiaofan that the vegetables at home will be sent to you together, but Xiaofan disagreed and said that he was afraid that I would be poisoned in it.
I am wronged. If I have a hundred courage, I dare not poison you. Even if I was poisoned, you still can't detect it? Who doesn't know that your technology is the best, right
I think it is not easy for Xiaofan. Yes, I will deliver it myself. I changed my brother to get the correct answer to the merchant. I went home to clean up and formed a team, and came with the team at your house.
As a result, when I passed the Babaozhai in Zhouzhong on the road, I wanted to tell Lao Chen that as a companion, his family was also involved in Operation Chaoyang. Guess what, Lao Chen was sick and he was hanging a bottle in the hospital. Woolen cloth.
I thought, no, I can’t force him to come. In case of death in the middle of the road, I comforted him and wanted to leave. He stopped me and asked me to find his son and bring a batch of stationery over. For children to learn.
No, I’m delaying a little bit. It’s slower than your team. It’s just here. I’m the first wave. I know that Lao Chen’s mouth is broken. I don’t know the door. I guess this time, everyone else knows everything. People who are seeing farewell things will also arrive one after another.
That's it. I came here personally to ask the children what vegetables they would like to eat. There are a lot of vegetables in my home. I will send them to the village later. In off-season, things are cheap and there is not much money. Children eat. Okay, I will give my family virtue. "
Yu Yi asked Luo to talk a lot, but the meaning was clear, and he forgot what the guard had said. When he spoke, he gestured with his hands and feet. Following his movements, the fat body quivered back and forth, quite rhythmic. .
His smile was still so flattering, but Xiaobei's smile changed, becoming more sincere and sweet, tilted his head to listen to him, and asked: "Uncle Yu, why don't you do more while the cabbage is coming down? Sauerkraut? There are also garlic sprouts, which grow slowly in winter. You can make canned food."
"I also think that I made sauerkraut once last year. I don’t know how to canned it. I don’t know how to canned. Oh, I regret it when I talk about it. Do not say.
It’s okay. In winter, my family’s vegetables are just fine. I have covered a large piece of land and specialize in greenhouses. Now the cost of greenhouses is lower. I have many kinds of cucumbers and spinach, which can sell a lot of money in winter. "
Yu Yiqiu's expression of regret disappeared as soon as he appeared. He seemed to be a cheerful person, otherwise he would not be fat and fat.
"Then what do you do after you make too much money?" In fact, Xiaobei has always wondered what he can do after having a lot of money. She is very confused about her family's money. She spent more than one million dollars. Not confused, a little sad, and a little sweet.
But she wouldn't spend it if she changed it to 100 million tongs. She only knew that it was important to have money. She didn't understand how important it was. If she gave her 10 million tongs, she felt that she could do everything.
Yu Yiqiu touched his belly, hehehehe laughed: "When I have money, I will go to other places to open a shop, make more money, and then participate in the Chaoyang operation in more places, except for a one-year-old granddaughter, There is also a grandson without a full moon, the eldest grandson, and the eldest grandson.
After earning more money, I will leave it to them. My granddaughter and grandson will be older and go to the school. The master in there must not be nice to them. Got this. "
Yu Yiqiu gave a thumbs up.
"Like you, Xiaobei, who would dare to look down at the place you go? You are a good boy, but your identity has nothing to do with you. It is your brother and sister who spelled it out. I will fight it for my younger generation now. ."
Xiaobei nodded in agreement. She was still very reasonable and said, "Uncle Yu, you make a clean profit, and you are willing to help others. You are a good person."
"To be honest, I didn’t want to make clean money. At the beginning, I was a bit deceitful, but I was afraid that your brother, my family is big in business, and I really want to deceive people. The movement will not be small and it is easy to be stared at by your brother. superior.
The officials are afraid of you because your nine children are righteous. In fact, the officials are afraid of your brother and your sister. The businessmen are more afraid of your brother than the officials. The officials are found out by you, and there is a reasonable place to go, the businessmen. If you violate your brother's bottom line, bankruptcy is light.
Tell you that you may not understand. If your brother asked my firm to donate all the greens, what your brother said every moment today, and it reaches my ears in three quarters. I must give your brother an affirmation within two quarters of an hour. I dare not postpone the reply until noon.
There is a saying in the folks at your medical school, "The King of Hades tells people to die three times, I said five changes make five changes." The merchant also said to your brother, "The judge will return the ghosts, and there is no soul in the small treasure book. "Back" business people have the hope of being remembered by your brother because they are acting upright, and some people are afraid to let your brother see it because they walk crookedly. "
Yu Yiqiu continued to use his smashing skills and told the truth to Beckham.
"What about you?" Beckham asked with a smile.
"I dare to come today, I'm not afraid to let your brother remember, but I hope your brother remembers the better." Yu Yi begged to pat his trembling chest.
Beckham also made two gestures on himself, and found that he couldn't tremble, and said shyly: "Well, I will tell my brother that there is such a vegetable seller, his name is Yu Yiqiu, and I don’t know the specifics of others are good or bad. I know, I only know that he at least did what he should be."
"Thank you, thank you, Beckham, I must look good, thank you." Yu Yi begged at a loss.
"You're welcome, as long as there are not many rotten vegetables in your greens, I will admit you, do you know why your sauerkraut always rotten?" Beckham blinked and asked.
Yu Yiqiu shook his head: "If you don't know, you won't be bad if you know."
"It's actually very simple. The jar you use to pickle sauerkraut must be blanched in boiling water first. The cabbage you choose must not be rotten. The salt you use must be boiled in water, then add a lid to cool it, and put the cabbage in. In the future, don't let them come into contact with the air, just expose them.
The texture of the stone in the pressure tank should be fine, and brush with boiling water. When pickling the sauerkraut, the bubbles and foam should be scooped out as soon as possible. Don't get too hot in the room. If you find a smell, change the tank immediately. Add some wine in it.
I don’t know how to make canned food. Next time you come, I will tell you when you come, well, it’s not easy for you to come here. Let’s eat here at night. "
Beckham told Yu Yiqiu the secret of pickling sauerkraut, and made his own judgment, leaving Yu Yiqiu to eat together.
Yu Yiqiu widened his eyes, took a deep breath, thinking hard about what Beckham said just now like a joke. He believed that Beckham would never lie to him. The canned food production technology can be obtained later, the method of pickling sauerkraut. It can't be wrong, because Beckham doesn't need to lie to him.
Listening to Xiaobei's invitation to eat together, she said with some uncertainty: "Supper is not necessary, right? I can find a place to eat it myself."
"That's it. Uncle Yu, go to rest first. Come here, take Uncle Yu to find a comfortable place." Xiaobei decided.
Yu Yiqiu left, and the vegetables he brought were transported to Liushu Village. Someone roughly estimated that the vegetables that Yu Yiqiu brought would cost at least 50,000 jin. Without mentioning the amount of vegetables, the transportation cost could not be small.
There is also the sick "Old Chen". His stationery is also very timely. Xiaobei asked Shaanzhou to generate electricity, so that the medical clinic there would be more dedicated to "Old Chen" and save his expenses. Of course, people" "Old Chen" doesn't care about this medical expenses, but Beckham must make an attitude.
That is to say, Xiaobei and the others are often with his elder brother and sister, otherwise they would not know how to act like this, even the prince, he sometimes can not put himself in the right position.
Next, as Yu Yiqiu said, various materials were sent by merchants in Shanzhou, including ready-made clothing, meat, fuel charcoal, utensils of various sizes, and a carriage or a donkey cart to Laoliushu Village.
Every merchant took out the colored posts of "Operation Chaoyang". Those who did not have colored posts were embarrassed to come over to send things, because Xiaobei gave a message to the merchants in Shanzhou via the radio wave. Merchants who did not participate in Operation Chaoyang will not be accepted for the time being. Their goods, with limited manpower, cannot conduct thorough investigations.
The businessmen understand that Xiaobei means that the merchants who were afraid of spending money and did not use the money to carry out the sunrise operation are not eligible to see Xiaobei this time. Xiaobei does not trust them.
For a while, the businessmen in Shanzhou discovered that there was a colorful post that turned out to be a sign of gold. Xiaobei received your goods to give you a face, because Zhang Wang’s family did not lack that little thing, and no one forced you to send it. But the merchant who gave it to Xiaobei will be written down.
…
When he found a fishing place, Zhang Xiaobao, who started hanging bait, didn't know what his sister was doing. If he knew it, he would lament that this era is so good. Businessmen dare not hold on to politics and know their duty.
Bi Gou leisurely as usual, along the pole, put on the bait, float, and then wait for the fish to bite.
Zhang Xiaobao was accompanied by his side, with the same indifferent look on his face. He knew that he must not show his timidity. Grandpa Bi was not here to fish at all. How many times have he started to experience the same scene after urinating, and it is not easy to fish with Grandpa Bi.
Grandpa Bi ran over all the work, how easy is it to catch a few fish? The time has come to fight wits and courage.
Bi Gou was lucky, and the fish drifted. With a flick of his rod, a three-inch grass carp came up.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care if his fish was floating or not. He took a deep breath, knowing that the business was coming, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Bi's prestige is not diminished back then, a good method."
"Haha." Bi Gou took off the fish, put it in the net bag into the water, smiled and looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and said, "Xiaobao, what kind of fish is this?"
"Here." Zhang Xiaobao secretly said, trying to guess what Grandpa Bi was going to say, and then replied: "Grass carp, I will fry it for you when I turn around. How about making soup, what do you think?"
"No hurry, just one." Bi Gou hung the bait again and threw it into the water with a swish.
"Well, I'm not in a hurry, what can I do? When I'm scared?" Zhang Xiaobao smiled reservedly, his eyes sweeping randomly on the surface of the water and the sky.
The float in front suddenly moved, and Zhang Xiaobao's starter was still a grass carp. Roughly speaking, it was half an inch longer than Bi Gou's but wider than Bi Gou's.
Take the same off, when it is in the net bag, adjust the fishing line, re-hang the bait, swish into the water.
"Xiaobao, are you also a grass carp?" Bi Gou asked knowingly.
If nothing happened to Zhang Xiaobao: "Yes, maybe there are many grass carps here, it's normal."
Bi Gou clicked his lips, wondering, and said, "Little treasure, I think the fish that our father and my husband are catching are both small."
"Yes, do you? I don't think it's too small, grass carp, I still expect how big it can be, it's just a blister, it's not a big river." Zhang Xiaobao's thoughts turned sharply, and he wanted to avoid it, not following the words.
"You mean it's not small?" Bi Gou asked in surprise.
"End", Zhang Xiaobao immediately regretted this question, and he used the same vocabulary as Grandpa Bi to describe himself. It was impossible to guard against, as he was a mature man.
"Xiaobao, yes or no?" Bi Go asked.
Zhang Xiaobao was holding a grass beside him with his hand, singular for yes, even for no, "Yes, no, yes, no", he pulled the last leaf as "yes", and then replied: "Grandpa Bi said. It's reasonable, it's not small."
"Then Xiaobao, it's not a small grass carp. Is it young or old?" Bi Gou didn't see the grass that Zhang Xiaobao had been pulling bald, and continued to ask.
"Ah? Grandpa Bi, I was in a trance just now, I mean, the grass carp is still young." Zhang Xiaobao thought that he had made a mistake in his judgment just now, and he couldn't do it properly, so he quickly refused to admit it.
"Oh, old man, I see, you have been too busy recently, Xiaobao, you are always in a trance, you mean, small? Isn't it?" Bi Gou asked Zhang Xiaobao again.
Zhang Xiaobao touched the bald grass and wanted to cry, because there was only one grass next to it, and the leaves were gone. He had known it was pinched off just now, so he pulled half of it first.
Nodded and recognized.
"Grandpa Bi, you are right, small, so small." Zhang Xiaobao wanted to change the subject when he answered, such as futures made by the Japanese or rudimentary warrants. He believed that he could definitely fool Grandpa Bi. It's like playing, but now it has nothing to do with that, now it's fishing.
Bi Gou suddenly showed a painful look, frowning and saying: "Xiaobao, look, you also admitted that the fish caught are all small."
"It's not too small, it's edible. When I go back, I wrapped it in noodles and deep-fried it. It tasted very good. Grandpa Bi, have you ever tried cumin chopped pepper fish?"
Zhang Xiaobao tried to change the subject.
At this time, Bi Gou raised the rod again. It was still a grass carp. It was only two inches long. Then he left it too. He put on the bait and turned his head and asked: "No, you tell me, what kind of fish do you do? Is there a requirement for the size of the fish?"
"No." Zhang Xiaobao replied against his will.
"Okay, it's fine if there isn't. I'm afraid that big fish and small fish are treated differently. Tell me, if the fish are changed to adults, according to your method, is it all old and young?" Bi Gou didn't try to change the subject at all. Anything Zhang Xiaobao said of his plan would be followed, as if he was really here to go fishing and relax.
Zhang Xiaobao was on the verge of an enemy. He understood that the only explanation for Grandpa Bi to do this was that his topic was still within Grandpa Bi's grasp.
After taking a couple of breaths, Zhang Xiaobao said in a gambling manner: "No, too old fish will taste bad."
"Yeah, Xiaobao, when you say it, I feel very emotional for the old man. The fish is old and can't make the dish you said. It is also a trouble when people are old, hey..."
Bi Gou sighed again and again.
Zhang Xiaobao regretfully uprooted the bald grass beside him, and followed the topic of Bi Gou again and said: "Grandpa Bi, you are still young."
