Chapter 51

Lin Yuan returned to Yu County and ran into Li Shaojun's family near the farmer's market.

"Lin Yuan, go to the vegetable market to buy some local products and eat them in Nanren."

Li Shaojun stopped Lin Yuan.

"My uncle knows that I will go back to my hometown, and he will tell me to buy some local products from my hometown."

Lin Yuan saw that the trunk of his car was filled with several large boxes of navel oranges.

"I just went to a navel orange orchard over there to pick them. It cost five yuan a catty, and I only loaded more than 100 catties. The car is too small to load much. There is no way to buy more."

"Are there still navel oranges in the orchard?"

Navel oranges should have been picked years ago.

"The owner of the navel orange orchard picked the fruit a few years ago and kept some of it for himself to sell in the next year. I went there just now and saw many people driving to buy it."

Lin Yuan became interested: "Take me there, I'll buy some navel oranges too."

His Ford Mustang has a large trunk space, and it should be no problem to buy two or three hundred catties.

Li Shaojun's eyes also brightened: Yes, Lin Yuanche can bring more souvenirs.

After discussing, Wu Yina and the two women were asked to take the children to the farmer's market to buy some favorite souvenirs. Lin Yuan and Li Shaojun went to Hawwood Hill to buy navel oranges.

Lin Yuan asked Li Shaojun to drive his new car.

"It's fun to drive a good car!"

More than ten minutes later, we arrived at the navel orange orchard.

The gate of the orchard was full of vehicles.

Lin and Yuan went in and bought three hundred catties of fresh navel oranges, and moved them to the car.

A few snakeskin bags were piled up in the trunk, leaving some space.

Back at the farmer's market, Zhang Minhui and Wu Yina basically didn't buy any local products.

Lin Yuan and Li Shaojun walked towards the vegetable market together.

An old farmer picked up a load of local taro for sale.

"This taro is good. It's big and well-proportioned. It doesn't have spots. It looks solid."

Li Shaojun picked up one and weighed it: "It's not too heavy, which means there is little water."

He asked the old farmer: "Master, how much is a catty of your taro?"

"It was dug out from the ground a few days ago, and it costs 1.5 yuan a catty."

In the cold winter, the old farmer's hands were red from the cold.

Li Shaojun said to Lin Yuan: "We each have half, bought it?"

"Row."

One basket per person is at most fifty catties.

The local taro can be boiled for ten minutes, and the soup is as white as milk.

The cooked taro is even more delicate and soft, melts in the mouth, and the aroma is overflowing.

The two carried the taro to the car and returned to the market.

Lin Yuan saw a middle-aged woman picking up two baskets of brown bamboo shoots on a pole and selling them.

Peel off the brown skin layer by layer, peel off the skin-rejuvenating brown buds inside, wash and cut into thin slices, mix with some peppers, if you have bacon at home, add garlic leaves, and stir-fry into a plate of astringent, sweet and fragrant Spicy and delicious dishes.

"Young Army, do you like eating brown buds?"

"It's a bit bitter. I didn't eat it when I was a child."

Lin Yuan, on the other hand, likes the astringent and fragrant feeling very much.

"I like."

[One of Sun Chun's favorite dishes in Guiling is stir-fried bacon with brown buds. The host can buy all the brown buds and go to Sun's house in Guiling with Li Shaojun when he returns to Guangxi, and then send the brown buds and local bacon without leaving any trace. If you give it to the Sun family, you can get 20 favorability points from Sun Chun and 50 favorability points from Sun Jianjiang. 】

Gaining the favor of the Sun family father and son is of great help to Lin Yuan's engineering project this year.

He bargained with middle-aged women.

"Five yuan a catty, and there are not many brown buds. A dozen palm trees scraped these brown buds. I originally wanted to keep my son home for the holidays, and take him to Guangdong in the next year. Who knew he would not come back for the New Year, so Pick it up and sell it."

Middle-aged women mean that they don't care about the little money, and mainly keep it at home. Their son and daughter-in-law are not home for the New Year, and they are afraid of wasting it.

"Four yuan a catty, I bought all the brown buds, okay?"

Two baskets of brown buds weigh about fifty or sixty catties.

The woman thought for a while, then nodded: "Forget it, let's sell it to you, I don't want to stay here all the time."

After weighing the weight, Lin Yuan paid her according to the price.

Li Shaojun bought more than ten catties of winter bamboo shoots.

Brown buds and winter bamboo shoots are both foods that can be stored for a long time.

Lin Yuan also bought more than a dozen catties of winter bamboo shoots.

Wu Yina also bought dozens of catties of dried sweet potatoes at this time.

"This dried sweet potato is delicious, and it's only five yuan a catty."

"Dried sweet potatoes are delicious, but the potato flour from my hometown is also good."

So I bought a few more catties of potato flour.

Lin Yuan remembered the boiled potato flour that he ate in the market town when he was a child, the minced lean meat was floating in the potato flour sticks, and the soup was extremely delicious.

But supermarkets should sell French fries.

At this time, Zhang Minhui saw Fu Tofu again at a non-staple food stall.

"Shaojun, buy a few cans of stinky tofu and go home, okay?" She called Li Shaojun over.

"Let me see, is the stinky tofu he sells made by authentic local methods?"

Hearing Li Shaojun's words, the stall owner was not happy: "This is made by my mother herself. It contains spicy, sesame and fragrant melon seeds. It is made of soybeans without any rice flour. If you don't believe me, you can open the lid and smell it. Just try it."

Lin Yuan also walked over and took a look.

He looked around to see if there was any bacon he needed to buy.

Although cured meat is also sold at the non-staple food stalls, it looks bad and wrinkled.

Near the meat stall, he found a bacon specialty store.

There are beef patties, sausages, bacon, cured pork liver, cured pork loin, cured pig heart, cured pig ears, cured pig tongue and other products in the store.

It seems to be food marinated in a special local method.

And the packaging is exquisite and easy to carry.

Although the price is much more expensive, the wax products inside are all vacuum-packed, so there is no smell at all.

Without saying a word, Lin Yuan picked out tens of catties of wax products.

"Lin Yuan, we are going to open a new store, do you want to invite the fellow villagers to dinner?" Zhang Minhui said with a smile.

"In Nanren City, I only know Shaojun, a fellow villager. I don't know anyone else. How can I invite him to dinner?"

Lin Yuan explained: "Stir-fried peppers with bacon is the most distinctive local dish. I liked it when I was young. Anyway, this dish is also durable, and it will not go bad after a long time. It is rare to go back once a year. Buy more local products. You can eat slowly."

Li Shaojun also asked Zhang Minhui to buy some.

"Which day are you going to spend in Guangxi?" Lin Yuan asked.

"I'm going there tomorrow. I'm planning to go in the direction of Guiling. I'll go to Sun's house to pay New Year's greetings, and I'll rush back to Nanren the next day. What about you? Or go together?"

When you drive a long-distance car, you have companions on the road, and you can take care of each other.

"Then let's go together."

The two agreed to leave at ten o'clock tomorrow.

"Have lunch in the service area and rush to Sun's house for dinner." Li Shaojun said.

Lin Yuan took his wife and children to his sister's house.

Tell her to go back to Nanren City with Li Shaojun tomorrow.

"Li Shaojun is back too? Invite him to come over for dinner?" Lin Ling said.

"No need, his parents and his two younger brothers are both in the county town, so there is no place to eat."

Brother-in-law Yang Liu also came home from playing cards outside. Lin Yuan took some of the food he bought at the vegetable market just now, and took it to his kitchen for his sister to cook.

Lin Ling blamed him: "I pickled a lot at home, and I packed it for you. You can take it to Guangxi to eat tomorrow."

She even bought dozens of catties of navel oranges.
