Farming and Bend the National Husband

The Chinese restaurant of the National University suddenly became popular today.

At first, it was in a box on the second floor, a family surnamed Zhang was celebrating the old man's birthday.

Mr. Zhang is a native of Yucheng. He used to do business in the capital. His business was very big and he had industries all over the country.After retiring, he handed over the property to his son and returned to Yucheng to support himself.

Today is the old man's 88th birthday. The customs of Yucheng people pay special attention to the birthdays of 66, 77, and 88. Therefore, today, family members from all over the world gather in Yucheng to give the old man a gift in the top box of the National University. Happy birthday.

At this age, the old man seems to be in good spirits, but his body is actually getting weaker and weaker. During the physical examination not long ago, not only his blood lipids, blood sugar and blood pressure were not normal, but he also had gastrointestinal problems. , just kindly watched the junior eating, drinking and playing in front of him, and he didn't eat much.

Until a pot of soup Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum was served, the old man smelled the aroma and felt that he had an appetite, so he motioned to the little daughter beside him to scoop some up for himself.

Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum is a healthy food for the elderly. Most elderly people have coronary heart disease and high blood pressure, and it happens to have health effects in this regard, so when ordering vegetables, order it.

With a chopstick of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum in the mouth, Mr. Zhang's eyes suddenly widened.

The little girl next to her paid attention to her father, and hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong? The food isn't delicious?"

Master Zhang chewed the food in his mouth a few times with his remaining teeth, swallowed it slowly, and let out a sigh of satisfaction: "No, it's so delicious, I've never eaten such fresh and tender food. Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum—”

"Really?" The little granddaughter next to me is [-] years old this year, and she usually likes to cook a few dishes. She is half-knowledgeable. Hearing what grandpa said, she picked up a chopstick curiously, put it in her mouth, and couldn't help shouting: "Grandpa is right. This soup is really fresh. I don't know what old hen stewed soup the chef used—"

Mr. Zhang took another mouthful of chrysanthemum chrysanthemum into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and said to his little granddaughter after swallowing it, "You don't understand, this is the natural umami taste of the dish, there is no chicken soup—"

"Impossible?" Hearing what the old man said so brilliantly, the youngest daughter picked it up and took a sip, her mouth was filled with the unique bitterness and sweetness of Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows and praised: "Really, this chrysanthemum chrysanthemum tastes very unique, better than other chrysanthemums. What you eat is countless times more tender and crispy.”

As a family, you and I have chopsticks, and the middle portion of the soup Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum in a pot suddenly bottomed out.

"Little sister, add a large portion of Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum in the soup—" The youngest daughter saw that the old father hadn't eaten a few bites, and the food was gone, so she ordered the waiter to add more food.

The waiter hurriedly placed the order and informed the kitchen.

The same situation was repeated in other boxes and halls.

With his hands behind his back, Li Xiechuang was directing in the kitchen. With his status, except for some special guests, he needed to do it himself. Most of the time, he was just guarding the kitchen.

After the main dishes were served in some important private rooms, he was free and ready to go back to the office, when the chef in charge of side dishes suddenly came over and shouted: "Brother Chuang, today is really strange, almost every private room has to add dishes, and All the vegetables are added—”

"Oh?" Li Xiechuang was taken aback, thinking that today's vegetables were the ones he ordered yesterday. Could it be that these vegetables are really so magical?He walked to the stove, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and there was a freshly fried minced garlic and choy sum, which he hadn't had time to send out.

He put one in his mouth and chewed slowly.

Fresh, tender, crisp, refreshing, all kinds of flavors exploded in the mouth at the same time, which caught Li Xiechuang by surprise.

He put down his chopsticks, picked up the phone without hesitation, and informed the purchasing staff that Xiajiazhuang's vegetable purchases would double tomorrow.

After making the phone call, he returned to the office and sat behind the desk, feeling restless again.

I accidentally changed a vegetable supplier yesterday. I thought it was only a little better than others, but I didn't expect it to be so delicious.With such a miraculous vegetable, NUS's business will surely reach a new level.

Just waiting for colleagues to find out the origin of these dishes, NUS will have no advantage.The only way to retain this advantage is to sign a contract and let Xia Jiusheng supply the goods exclusively, but at the same time, more benefits must be paid.Although Xia Jiusheng is young, he is not easy to fool.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally made up my mind.Call the manager of the purchasing department and ask him to prepare a supply contract and accompany him to negotiate a deal.

The same situation happened at the home of the village secretary Xia Guoqing.

The dishes brought back from Xia Jiusheng's house in the morning, my wife picked some cabbage sums and fried a pot at noon.

Xia Guoqing is 53 years old this year. He married early and his grandson is eight years old.Because his wife spoiled him so much, this little ancestor has been a picky eater since he was a child, he likes to eat big fish and meat, and he doesn't even touch vegetarian dishes, so he is quite a chubby man.

In the eyes of rural people, it's okay for a child to be fat, chubby and cute, but what annoys them is that they went for a physical examination some time ago and found that the child has fatty liver.

The doctor warned them that the nutrition of the children must be balanced, and they should not eat only meat dishes without vegetarian dishes. If they do this for a long time, they will get more childhood obesity, such as childhood diabetes and high blood pressure.

This made the couple very anxious. Because the son and daughter-in-law believed in them, they left the child to themselves. If they brought the grandson into trouble, it would be difficult to explain.

Stir-fried green vegetables today, the kitchen is full of aroma, even the grandson who doesn’t eat green vegetables tasted it, so he couldn’t stop, the grandson actually ate a small half of a big plate of green vegetables.

This surprised and delighted Xia Guoqing and his wife, thinking that there were still a few catties of vegetables at home, and they continued to fry them for their grandson at night.

After dinner, the grandson went to the neighbor's house to play. Xia Guoqing sat on a chair, lit a cigarette, and fell into deep thought.

"Old man, what did you say about Xia Jianjun? Why does his food taste so good?" Mrs. Secretary asked softly after washing the dishes and sitting next to him.

"How do I know this?" Xia Guoqing frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and replied.

"Do you think his family got a special variety, so the taste of the dishes is so good?" Mrs. Branch Secretary continued to ask.

"This is most likely!" Xia Guoqing is also a farmer, so he naturally knows that the taste of vegetables is determined by factors such as variety and water and soil. In the same village, the water and soil are almost the same, and the only possibility is the variety.

"There are also people in the village who are planting his family's seedlings. It is said that the taste of the vegetables is much better than those bought in the market, but compared with his family's, it is still a bit worse." The secretary's wife told the news again. come out.

"I don't understand this either." Xia Guoqing stood up from his chair irritably. "I know that your nephew has rented land in the Three Realms to grow vegetables in a greenhouse, so he has long wanted to get Xia Jianjun's family's seeds, but before this matter is clarified, don't use your brains, maybe we are all wrong?"

"You are too steady in doing things." Mrs. Branch Secretary snorted. "If you have good seeds and can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, what are you still doing as the branch secretary of Laoshizi?"

"What do women know?" Xia Guoqing glared at his old lady, "Why do so many rich people want their sons to be officials? No matter how rich they are, can they compare with power?"

"A big-ass village party secretary, who is still an official but not an official—" the secretary's wife muttered a few words, but she didn't talk back to the old man after all.

※※※

After lunch, Xia Jiusheng just went upstairs when he heard his mother calling downstairs.

He went downstairs reluctantly, and saw Li Xiechuang, whom he had just met yesterday, sitting downstairs with a stranger, with his parents sitting beside him.

"Brother Chuang, why are you here?" Xia Jiusheng asked unexpectedly.

For Xia Jiusheng, being able to supply NUS means paying off his debts faster.So he is still very grateful to Li Xiechuang.

In fact, he has not planned what the future will be like, but no matter what he does in the future, he will need start-up funds. The purchase of more than 1000 yuan a day by NUS is undoubtedly an important part.

"Xiao Xia, I'm here to trouble you again—" Li Xiechuang saw Xia Jiusheng, and his face almost turned into a flower.

The Purchasing Manager next to him, Xu Shouwen, looked at Li Xiechuang in disbelief. Even facing the boss of the National University, Brother Chuang's expression was indifferent. When had he ever seen him be so polite to a person.

"Brother Chuang is too polite. You are helping me, not bothering me?" Xia Jiusheng didn't understand what he meant, so he could only respond politely.

"Help each other, we help each other." Li Xiechuang immediately climbed up the ladder.

"Then Brother Chuang came to see me today? Is it because of a problem with the food?" Xia Jiusheng asked deliberately.

The food must be fine, he knows this, but brother Chuang is also the chief chef of the National University of China, there is no need to be so polite to him, a small farmer who sells vegetables, the more polite he is to himself, the more he is afraid that the next request will be overwhelmed. share.

"Of course the quality of the dishes is fine." Seeing Xia Jiusheng's vigilant look, Li Xiechuang didn't want to hide it. "Today, I brought the manager of the purchasing department of the National University of China here, just to sign a supply contract with you."

This is a good thing.Xia Jiusheng wondered, at least for himself, it was also a guarantee.

"Also, starting tomorrow, your supply will double, and the price will also double." Li Xiechuang threw out another bait.

"Brother Chuang, just tell me what the conditions are." Xia Jiusheng was startled by his increasingly favorable conditions.

"There is only one condition, that is, the vegetables grown by your family will be exclusively supplied to our International Hotel and cannot be sold to other colleagues." Li Xiechuang looked at Xia Jiusheng and said solemnly. "Of course, the five catties and ten catties are not allowed to be bought and eaten at home."

"This?" Xia Jiusheng pondered.

This request is easier than he imagined. As far as he is concerned, if the supply of the National University is doubled, he will increase five acres of land, and he can barely supply the National University family, and there will be no vegetables to sell in the Three Realms.

Of course, if he is ambitious and wants to continue to expand the cultivated area, then this condition will restrict his own development.

Li Xiechuang looked at Xia Jiusheng, feeling uncertain.

This young man is calmer and thinks farther than the peers he knows.This is the so-called early wisdom.If his ambition is high, he may reject himself.

Xia's father and Xia's mother have long been foolish.

They didn't think as far as Xia Jiusheng did. When Li Xiechuang said that the supply and price would be doubled, they felt a rush of enthusiasm rushing to their foreheads.

Today's supply is only one thousand and two, if it is doubled by two more, isn't it four thousand and eight?

Four thousand a day, not 14 a month, not 150 million a year?

Father Xia felt that his throat was very dry, so he picked up the big enamel cup on the table and took a sip of water, the sound was so loud that even he was startled.

He has to do something to divert his attention, or he will go crazy.

Stand up, go to the backyard, turn on the faucet, scoop up streams of cold water, and pour it on your face.

The water was already very cold in late autumn, and Xia's father calmed down after being shocked by the cold water.

"Okay, no problem." Xia Jiusheng agreed suddenly.

"Xiao Xia, thank you." Li Xiechuang was overjoyed, took Xia Jiusheng's hand, and shook it vigorously.

"Brother Chuang, you are being polite. You have given me such a good condition. We should give something back." Xia Jiusheng took it for granted.

So Xu Shouwen opened the contract, wrote down the details discussed just now, and showed it to both parties for confirmation.

"Brother Chuang, it's winter now, and there are few varieties of vegetables. There will definitely be more varieties when spring begins tomorrow. Is it also in accordance with this contract?" Xia Jiusheng looked at the details of the contract and asked Li Xiechuang.

"Of course, we run a restaurant, so are you afraid that you will provide a lot of varieties?" Li Xiechuang laughed. "It's best if you build a greenhouse, and you can provide all kinds of vegetables all year round."

"Then what if I grow melons and fruits again?" Xia Jiusheng thought of the fruit trees he had just planted in the space. "Common fruits like watermelon and strawberries."

"If the quality is the same as vegetables, I will also package the goods, and the price is four times the market price." Li Xiechuang replied without hesitation.

"Then thank you Brother Chuang." Xia Jiusheng said gratefully.

"Don't say that, it's you who gave Brother Chuang face." Li Xiechuang knew that this condition was beneficial to both sides, but also both sides had disadvantages.

At least Xia Jiusheng will suffer even more, because with this contract, his development will be restricted. Otherwise, according to this young man's development speed, maybe two or three years later, he will skyrocket.

After signing the contract, Li Xiechuang didn't stay any longer, and left after drinking a cup of tea.

There were three people left in the room looking at each other, and there was one An An who didn't quite understand, because the atmosphere was solemn and his expression became similar.

"Son, we're going to get rich, aren't we?" Mama Xia asked uncertainly while holding her son's hand.

"More than one million yuan a year, dare to say it's a fortune," Xia Jiusheng said nonchalantly, curling his lips.

"Damn boy, you're talking nonsense again." Xia's mother patted her son's arm and scolded with a smile: "More than 100 million won't make you rich. If you have the ability, you can earn 1000 million!"

Father Xia's expressionless face, which had been suppressed by life for thousands of years, finally showed a smile. He stood up, didn't mess around with the mother and son, and hurried out to discuss the lease with the owner of the open space in the backyard.

An An hugged her brother's arm, bouncing and laughing silly.

After the excitement passed, Xia Jiusheng began to think about his next move.

The vegetable patch in the backyard has become a special commodity for NUS, so he will have less to worry about in the future.

So what to do next?Xia Jiusheng felt that it was necessary to plan ahead and consider other sources of income.

In rural areas, the most suitable ones are undoubtedly fruit planting and farming.

Growing fruit is relatively simple. There is a small hill less than 100 meters behind the house, which was distributed to his family by the village. Now there are only some pine trees and shrubs. Usually, some shrubs are cut for firewood, or they are left unused. If you want to grow fruits , These bushes have to be cut down and the roots dug up.

If you want to raise things, there is a ready-made place, the big bamboo garden, it must be good for raising chickens, and the bamboo garden chicken is a very popular breed.

As for other poultry and livestock, there is no place now, so forget it.

It's late autumn now, I don't know if I can still raise chickens?Xia Jiusheng didn't understand this. In the past, chickens were raised in the countryside in the beginning of spring, when the weather was warm.

Suddenly thought of a serious problem, the weather is getting colder and colder, won't the vegetables also be affected?In winter in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there will be frost and snow.

And winter is the end of the year, which happens to be the season of the year when the demand for vegetables is the largest. Is it possible to build a greenhouse?Xia Jiusheng frowned, went back to the house, and told Mother Xia about it.

Mother Xia has no idea either.Just say wait and see.

It's only November now, so you can let it go first, and settle the money from the National University next month, and then handle this matter.
