Chapter 128 Choose Seven Dishes and One Soup
The only response he got was the woman's whimpering.
"Only the sideline group can get a few dollars, but I'm sure to make 500 yuan." The man threatened angrily, "Don't think I'll let you go just because you're silent."
Then, a series of crackling and banging sounds exploded in the quiet environment.
Yu Zhile and the other man could hear that many things were smashed, and they also figured out the direction of the yard where the incident occurred.
Suddenly, the faint cry of a child interrupted the quarrel between the two.
"Are you crazy? She is only three years old. She is your biological daughter." The woman suddenly screamed.
At the same time, the child's voice was filled with helplessness and panic, and he kept calling for his father.
"I'll give you one more chance." The man grinned, "If I can't get the formula tonight, don't even think about seeing this money-loser again tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a splash, the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.
The loud bang of the door slamming and the heart-wrenching cry of a child were heard at the same time.
"Niuniu, be good. I'll take you to change your clothes." The woman comforted him softly, "Don't cry, don't cry. I'll buy you some candy."
At this point, the farce ended, and the only sounds left in the village were the barking of chickens, ducks, geese and dogs.
Li Ran turned his head to look at Yu Zhile, and saw her standing there motionless, thinking that she was frightened by the scene.
"Are you okay?" he asked with concern. "I'll take you home to rest."
Yu Zhile shook his head and replied, "I'm fine."
"That's good." Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is there a women's director in the village? We need to report this to the village cadres and educate them ideologically."
Yu Zhile said nothing and led him towards the brigade headquarters.
Upon learning that the experts were going to the countryside, the old branch secretary gathered the village cadres for a meeting, hoping to work out a set of rules so as not to offend them. Zhang Wenxin and Yu Chuyue were also present.
At that time, the door of the brigade headquarters was open, and a group of people were discussing something enthusiastically, and their voices could be heard from far away.
Yu Zhile knocked on the door, attracting everyone's attention.
"Li Ran, Li Zhiqing, is a member of the expert group." She introduced them to everyone, "He will come to the village first to familiarize himself with the environment, and the other experts will arrive soon."
"Welcome, welcome." A group of people came forward to surround Li Ran and shook hands with him warmly.
He has a fair and clean appearance, a gentle temperament, and is a member of the expert group at a young age, so everyone has a good impression of him.
Someone asked him to sit down, someone poured him tea and water, and a few others asked him about his well-being.
Li Ran was a little overwhelmed by their enthusiasm and became uneasy. He looked around for Yu Zhile and found that she was talking to two girls.
The next second, a village cadre brought him some tea, blocking his view.
Yu Zhile signaled Zhang Wenxin and the other person with his eyes to go out, and told them what he had just heard.
"Who is it?" Zhang Wenxin asked in surprise.
When selecting people, she not only uses character and personality as criteria, but also examines the character of their family members, just to avoid this situation.
Unexpectedly, this happened.
Fortunately, at this point in time, they still have time to deal with it. If it was exposed at the opening, it would definitely affect the subsequent cooperation between Haiyu Village and the state-owned hotel.
"Yu Feng." Yu Zhile said.
Yu Feng performed very well yesterday, so she could easily distinguish the other person's voice.
Zhang Wenxin was speechless. This was the first person she excluded in her heart, because Yu Feng’s husband was well-known in the village for his honesty and simplicity.
"I don't know whether to say that one can judge a person by his appearance but not his heart, or that he is obsessed with money." Yu Chuyue sighed.
Zhang Wenxin was very annoyed and asked, "How do we deal with that money-hungry traitor? I really want to find Ge Tai to beat him up."
"It depends on what Yu Feng chooses." Yu Zhile smiled.
Zhang Wenxin and the other person were confused, but they didn't ask any more questions. They believed that she could handle the problem.
In the room, Li Ran was fed a bellyful of tea, his ears were almost callused, and finally he saw Yu Zhile again.
"Comrade Yu, didn't you say you would introduce me to the villagers?" He waved his hand quickly, "When would it be convenient for you to take me to the fields?"
Yu Zhile looked at the old branch secretary, who had no intention of stopping him, and said, "You can go now."
"Thank you all for your warm hospitality." Li Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stood up and bowed to express his gratitude. "I'm leaving first. See you at the conference tonight."
After saying that, he quickly caught up with Yu Zhile and the other two.
"Okay, don't have any other ideas. The village's side businesses still depend on him for guidance." The old branch secretary tapped some people who looked regretful. He could see what they were thinking at a glance.
On the other side, Li Ran was still in a daze. It was the first time he encountered such a situation.
Zhang Wenxin found it funny and consoled him, "Don't be afraid, Li Zhiqing. They won't be like this anymore after you get to know them better."
"I hope so." Li Ran forced a smile.
The four of them walked around the village and finally went to the fields to introduce Li Ran's identity to the villagers.
In everyone's perception, Li Ran was here to help everyone make money, and they showed the same enthusiasm, which scared him.
"It's almost time, let's go to the village entrance to pick someone up." Yu Zhile came to his rescue. The four of them waited for a while at the village entrance, and then they saw a long convoy led by the ox cart that Ge Tai and others were riding in slowly approaching them.
Only the first oxcart was carrying people, the others were filled with materials needed to build the kelp farming raft.
The convoy soon came in front of the few people, and Zhang Wenxin waved to Ge Tai.
"Second Grandpa, thank you for your hard work." Yu Zhile took out a handful of various candies.
Master Yu stopped the ox cart and took it with a smile.
Mr. Chen got out of the car to stretch his arms and legs, and Luo Ping and three other strangers also got out.
"Teacher." Li Ran walked to Luo Ping.
Luo Ping looked pale, and she wasn't as energetic as when Yu Zhile first met her.
"Xiao Yu, let me introduce these three to you..." Mr. Chen hesitated for a few seconds, "Three teachers."
They did not move into Haiyu Village as an expert group, so the name they used really needed to be carefully considered to avoid being caught by people with bad intentions.
The three men were about the same age as Yu Haiguang. They were wearing patched clothes and looked rather haggard, but their temperament could not be ignored.
"Qu Xin and Song Zheng are from the northwest. They were in Shu Province before Huashan." Mr. Chen introduced briefly, "This is Comrade Yu Zhile that Xiao Zhou mentioned."
"Hello, Comrade Yu." Qu Xin smiled a little more.
Yu Zhile shook her hand back and felt that her features were somewhat familiar, which inexplicably gave rise to a sense of liking for her.
After a brief greeting between the two sides, Yu Zhile took Qu Xin and the other two to the cowshed, Yu Chuyue took Chen Lao and the others to the sideline group's courtyard, and Zhang Wenxin and Ge Tai were responsible for transporting the materials to the abandoned yard near the beach.
On the way, Yu Zhile learned that the three were old acquaintances and had studied abroad together, and Qu Xin and Zhou Zheng were also a couple.
A few days ago, Ge Tai and the three brothers of the Zhang family renovated the cowshed, and the new house was just big enough for the couple to live in.
At this time, Chen Zhao was the only one in the cowshed, chopping grass vigorously.
"Xiao Zhao, this is the teacher who is here to guide the development of the sideline business." Yu Zhile turned around and introduced Qu Xin and the other two, "This is Chen Zhiqing who lives in the cowshed."
Chen Zhao grabbed the hem of his clothes and wiped the grass juice off his hands. He asked Yu Zhile to help with other things first, and then asked the three people to take the luggage into the house.
When Yu Zhile arrived at the courtyard of the sideline group, Chen Lao and his companions had already settled their luggage and began to discuss the time to build the raft.
After comprehensive consideration, the three of them unanimously decided to start work at six o'clock the day after tomorrow morning.
After confirming the time, Yu Zhile asked them to take a rest first and started the live broadcast.
Live streaming of cooking is a popular content in her live broadcast room. Viewers came quickly and started throwing gifts.
The fishing team kept two large basins of seafood. Yu Zhile and Zhang Wenxin sorted them first and then processed them.
"Spicy hot pot, steamed abalone with garlic sauce, and spicy fried shellfish." Yu Zhile looked at the ingredients and named the dishes, "Steamed fish, blanched shrimp, stir-fried bean sprouts and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a pot of stewed chicken soup."
[The familiar part of announcing the dishes, so tempting. 】
[I have prepared half a month's worth of nutrient solution.]
[My mouth is watering as soon as I hear the name of the dish. I really want to eat the host's dishes again. ]
The audience was so excited just by hearing the names of the dishes announced, and those who grabbed the dishes in the small window were even more excited.
The chicken was an old hen that the old branch secretary had raised for two years in exchange for his work points in the village. The chicken was rich in chicken fat, and the meat was firm and elastic, making it most suitable for making soup.
Yu Zhile first stewed the chicken soup, and then began to prepare other ingredients for the spicy hot pot.
Zhang Wenxin and Ge Tai learned a few other dishes from her and started working at other stoves.
"Do you need help?" Li Ran walked closer and asked.
"No, we can handle it." Yu Zhile refused with a smile, "How can we let the guests do it?"
Li Ran originally wanted to hold on, but when he saw the dozen or so ingredients in front of the stove, he was stunned for a few seconds. He had never seen such a scene before.
Yu Zhile understood his expression and started advertising: "The new window of the state-owned restaurant in town will open soon. You can choose your own ingredients and process them. Then you will have more varieties to choose from."
"You can choose your own ingredients." Li Ran paused for a few seconds, "This business model is quite interesting."
“You can go and experience it.” Yu Zhile responded.
As she spoke, the water in the pot began to boil. She put the ingredients in batches, blanched them, and set them aside.
Add scallions, ginger and garlic into the pan and stir-fry until fragrant. Dig out a piece of base material and stir-fry to make red oil. Add a spoonful of bean paste and stir-fry until fragrant. Then pour in all the ingredients and stir-fry.
The complex aroma of sauce and various spices intertwined, gradually taking over the air and spreading to the space where every audience was located.
Everyone's taste buds were activated instantly and became extremely active.
Gradually, the flavors of garlic, spicy food and chicken soup from several other stoves joined in, stimulating everyone's brain and whetting everyone's appetite.
In just a few seconds, dense barrage of comments completely covered the live broadcast image, and various gift special effects flew around.
Except for the stewed chicken soup, each dish was made in duplicate. Yu Zhile and Yu Chuyue delivered the dishes to the cowshed, while Zhang Wenxin and Ge Tai stayed behind to finish the work.
The two were walking on the road carrying vegetable baskets and talking about trademarks when they were suddenly stopped by two people.
The people who came were acquaintances - Zhang Ping and Yu Feng.
