Shen Yunzhao had two weeks of continuous nightmares. In her dreams, her family members either fell ill, went missing, died, or suffered career setbacks. Every single one of them was unlucky, with n...
The boiled chicken was cut into pieces of similar size, with golden skin and chicken fat. It was drizzled with ginger juice, sprinkled with shredded ginger and chopped green onions, and the aroma was fragrant.
The water spinach and lettuce are both green and not old at all. The presentation is very beautiful and makes you hungry at first sight.
The braised eggplant still has its purple skin, not changing much; the minced meat is dotted in between, and the taste is very fragrant;
The braised potatoes have a golden surface and thick juice, and they look especially delicious with rice.
Shen Yunzhao looked at these dishes, which were colorful and fragrant, but he didn't know how they would taste.
She first picked up a piece of white-cut chicken. The chicken was tender and smooth, yet chewy. The ginger sauce was particularly well-seasoned, removing the fishy smell of the chicken without making it seem spicy. Instead, it perfectly brought out the meaty flavor of the chicken.
She gave full marks to the white-cut chicken.
The stir-fried water spinach and lettuce are cooked to the perfect temperature, not too overcooked but just cooked enough, and they are especially delicious.
As for the other two dishes, they taste great too, especially when eaten with rice.
Shen Yunzhao ate two full bowls.
She ate a lot, and the others ate a lot too.
Needless to say, Cheng Shaoyuan usually eats more than two bowls of rice, but today he ate three bowls.
Zhao Kai also ate two bowls, while Master Lin ate a little less, but still had one and a half bowls.
In half an hour, except for that dish, the four of them had eaten up all the other dishes, not even any soup was left.
“It’s so delicious!”
Zhao Kai touched his round belly. Today he ate a whole bowl more than usual!
Especially the braised potatoes, he poured the soup on the rice, stirred it and ate a bowl of rice.
There are also water spinach and lettuce. He never realized that vegetarian dishes can be so delicious!
“Miss Shen, did you grow these vegetables yourself?”
"Yes! My family usually eats vegetables that we grow ourselves." Shen Yunzhao replied, "These vegetables are usually not sprayed with pesticides, and no chemical fertilizers are used."
In the space, Shen Yunzhao never used pesticides or chemical fertilizers when growing vegetables.
Of course, the result of this is that there are many insects in the vegetable garden.
Later, she found a kind of insect-repellent grass in the space and planted it in the vegetable garden. There were fewer insects, and now she doesn't have to worry about the vegetables being eaten by insects.
"What? No fertilizers or pesticides?" Zhao Kai was shocked.
Cheng Shaoyuan said, "Of course, how could we possibly put those things in the dishes we eat ourselves?"
Master Lin also didn't believe it. "If there were no pesticides, these vegetables would be infested with insects. Without fertilizers, the vegetables wouldn't grow so well and definitely wouldn't be so tender."
Even when farmers grow vegetables for their own consumption, they use pesticides and chemical fertilizers. There is nothing that can be done about it.
Seeing that they didn't believe him, Shen Yunzhao said again, "If you don't believe me, you can take these vegetables for testing. If the test results show pesticide residues or fertilizer ingredients, I will apologize to you."
Zhao Kai and Lin Zhichao looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
How confident is Shen Yunzhao to dare to say such words!
In the vegetable market, let’s be honest, no vegetable seller dares to say such things.
Shen Yunzhao continued, "Not only are the vegetables this time free of pesticides and fertilizers, but all the vegetables from Tianfu Villa in the future, as long as they are delivered from my vegetable garden, are guaranteed to be 100% pesticide- and fertilizer-free! Of course, if they are purchased from outside, I can't guarantee that."
Seeing Shen Yunzhao say this, Lin Zhichao made up his mind, "Okay! If the vegetables you grow, Miss Shen, are really free of pesticides and fertilizers, then I will go to work at your villa!"
"Okay! Then I welcome you to join me!" Shen Yunzhao stood up and stretched out his hand.
Lin Zhichao also stood up and shook hands with her.
They chatted for a while, and then Shen Yunzhao and his group left.
As soon as the guest left, Lin Zhichao took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Hey, Xiao Wang, I want to ask you for a favor..."
After finishing the phone call, Lin Zhichao went into the kitchen, packed the remaining water spinach, lettuce, eggplant, and potatoes in a plastic bag, put them in the car, then started the car and left.
…
8pm, Furui Teahouse.
Zhao Kai sat across from Lin Zhichao, poured a cup of tea, and asked, "Uncle Lin, did you ask me out to ask about Tianfu Villa?"
"No." Lin Zhichao shook his head, "I want to ask about Miss Shen and Mr. Cheng."
"Are you asking about them?" Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment, then he understood.
I guess Uncle Lin wants to understand the character of these two people first.
After all, as a worker, who doesn’t want to find a boss with good character?
“Today I took the vegetables sent by Miss Shen for testing, and the results came out. There is no trace of pesticide residue and no fertilizer. The two of them did not lie.”
Lin Zhichao took out a stack of A4 papers, which contained inspection reports for several types of vegetables.
Zhao Kai was shocked. "Uncle Lin, you actually took it for testing! Isn't that necessary?"
Nowadays, apart from specially supplied vegetables, which ones are free of pesticide residues? It's just a matter of quantity.
Thinking of this, he found it quite funny again.
"Uncle Lin, there are really not many people who are as serious as you."
Lin Zhichao snorted and said proudly, "If they dare to say their vegetables are pesticide-free, I dare to test them. Who told them to say that?"
Zhao Kai saw Lin Zhichao's arrogant look and smiled again, "Now that you know the result, what's your decision?"
"I also want to ask, who supplies the mushrooms to Huahui and Xingguang? Is it related to Miss Shen?"
Lin Zhichao had eaten the mushrooms at Huahui and Xingguang a long time ago. He could never forget the taste after having tried them once, and he would go there to eat them every few days.
He is the head chef of a big restaurant in the provincial capital. What kind of delicious mushrooms has he not eaten?
But the mushrooms from Huahui and Xingguang were absolutely delicious, the best he had ever tasted.
As a cook, after eating delicious food, he would think about making the same dish himself.
Unfortunately, after spending more than two months, he still couldn't buy mushrooms of such good quality.
Zhao Kai was stunned. He didn't expect Lin Zhichao to jump so far in the topic.
"Ah? How would I know that? Liang Zhenhua and Zhou Xingyu kept this a secret, no one could find out."
"Haha, I was thinking too much. Now I have made up my mind to go to Tianfu Villa."
“Because of those vegetables without pesticides and fertilizers?”
“Not only that, didn’t you notice that the vegetables brought by Miss Shen taste better?”
As a chef, Lin Zhichao has a very sensitive tongue and can tell whether a dish is delicious or not at once.
When he washed the vegetables for lunch, he felt that they were of good quality, tender and fresh.
After cooking, the dish was indeed more delicious than usual.
"Ah? Is that so? Isn't it because of your good cooking skills that the dishes are so delicious?" Zhao Kai was stunned.
"No, no, no, I know my cooking skills well. This dish is delicious, in large part because of the quality of the ingredients."
