Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Business Wizard
With a "click".
The sound of the crispy roast duck skin being bitten made Liang Baohua's heart tremble.
The sweet, burnt aroma and rich, oily flavor that have been lingering on the tip of your nose now materialize on the tip of your tongue.
The first thing she did when she got home was to change her shoes. She noticed the fragrance from the kitchen and followed it. The next second, Fang Yi stuffed a piece of freshly sliced duck meat with skin on. Behind the crispy skin was the duck meat with a faint fruity and sweet aroma.
The duck meat is unexpectedly tender and juicy. The first bite you take is filled with juice that rushes straight into your mouth without any seasoning, bringing with it a fresh aroma mixed with oil and a hint of the fragrance of plant essences.
Liang Baohua chewed and chewed, looking at Fang Yi with sparkling eyes: "Mmmmm!!!"
Fang Yi raised an eyebrow proudly. "Isn't it delicious? Hehe, my cooking skills are incredible. You go change your clothes. I'm almost done. I just happen to have some cucumbers from Jiang's shop. I'll cut some into shreds and eat them with it to help with the greasiness."
Although her cooking skills are excellent and the duck meat itself is tender and not greasy, duck itself has much more fat than chicken, so it still needs something else to go with it.
Liang Baohua nodded hurriedly: "I'll go right away, you hurry up too, I'll be quick."
She was thinking about the roast duck all the way back.
Blind date or something...
Sorry, in her heart, it really can’t compare to Fangyi’s roast duck.
Now that I'm back, I find that my expectations were right.
The taste is so good.
Even without any seasoning or side dishes, the duck meat tastes very fresh and clean. This shows that the duck itself is of very good quality and the food it eats is very clean, otherwise it would not taste like this.
She wiped her mouth, quickly went into the house to change into home clothes, washed her face and wiped off the makeup.
Then he came to the dining table happily.
Considering that she had already eaten dinner, dinner consisted of only roast duck and strawberries.
Fang Yi had everything prepared, including sliced roast duck, sweet bean sauce, shredded cucumber, hawthorn strips, shredded green onions, and pancakes.
All piping hot.
There is also a plate of strawberries next to it that makes people want to drool at the first sight.
Liang Baohua greeted Fang Yi and sat down impatiently. He first took the pancake, picked up a piece of roast duck with chopsticks, dipped it in a little sauce, put cucumber shreds, hawthorn strips, one or two green onion shreds on it, rolled it up, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Take a big bite and bite open the crust. The crispness of the cucumber and the crispness of the duck skin make a subtle sound. Then the oily and juicy duck meat can be tasted, and the sweet and sour hawthorn strips are perfectly integrated into it.
"It tastes even better!" Liang Baohua mumbled, but still praised firmly.
It has the aroma of oil, the sour and sweet taste, the fresh and salty taste of meat, and the sweet and crispy taste of duck skin.
The taste is rich, but no one flavor dominates the other.
Fang Yi was also very happy to be praised: "Then eat more. I tried my best to buy this one."
It's not easy.
As she spoke, she stuffed a piece of the wrapped roast duck into her mouth. She hadn't eaten dinner and was already hungry. This bite was so delicious that it made her soul float away.
Liang Baohua nodded, his hands already quickly wrapping the second roast duck skin, and said, "Asking you to be my assistant was really the best decision I ever made."
At that time, she had just graduated and didn't know what to do. She was not needed to inherit the family business, and she didn't like her major. She found some jobs, but her parents didn't approve of them because they felt tired and not decent enough... In the end, she was too lazy to do anything, so she simply opened a milk tea shop as a job. All she had to do occasionally was to go to the store to check it out, and then find ways to eat, drink and have fun.
It's boring to be alone, and my sisters can't accompany me every day, so I saw on the Internet that some people would find personal assistants.
She also tried to post a recruitment message.
Unexpectedly, the two of them got along so well.
Thinking of this, she picked up a strawberry and put it in her mouth.
After being chilled in the refrigerator, the strawberries are cool in the mouth, and the sour and sweet juice with a fruity aroma rushes into the mouth, quickly diluting the meaty taste of the two bites of roast duck, making the mouth seem much refreshed.
This strawberry is delicious too!
It is worthy of being produced by Jiang’s shop.
As I was eating happily, I suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.
The two of them stopped eating the roast duck burritos at the same time and looked at the door in horror.
It’s not that they suspect there are bad guys. Even if there are bad guys, they won’t be able to open the door so easily. In addition to their information, the smart door lock also recorded the information of Liang Baohua’s parents. It must be them at this time!
The two looked at each other, then chewed quickly, not bothering to savor the food carefully.
Then he wiped his mouth, waved at her, asked her to go and greet them first, and went into the kitchen.
Liang Baohua took a deep breath, smiled, and went to the entrance, bumping into the elegantly dressed middle-aged woman who had just entered: "Wow, Mom, you're here!"
Liang's mother had a sullen face, and it was obvious that she was here to settle the score. Seeing her daughter acting so well, she remained silent and changed her shoes silently.
Liang Baohua's heart was pounding.
hateful!
When she left, the man was clearly very nice, so why did he turn around and complain?!
I'm so angry!
Liang's mother saw her uneasy look and sighed in her heart. She couldn't understand why her daughter was unwilling to get along well with her blind date. The conditions were really good and he was also very self-disciplined. Even her daughter herself had two boyfriends in college. The boy had always been studying hard and later focused on work. He had never been in a relationship until now. He was also handsome and interested in her.
She just walked in quickly, sniffing the pleasant but somewhat greasy aroma in the air. She said dissatisfiedly: "You love to eat this junk food every day. There is nothing we can give you to eat at home?!"
Liang Baohua's guilty expression immediately changed: "Where is the junk food?! These are all very clean ingredients!"
Unconvinced, she pulled Liang's mother to the dining table: "Mom, try it, it's really delicious!"
Liang's mother came to the dining table and took a look. The temperature in the house was kept at over 20 degrees Celsius. The roast duck on the table, which had been roasted with crispy skin and sizzling oil, was now a little wrinkled. She frowned and said, "I don't like eating these greasy things."
Liang Baohua pouted, noticing that the roast duck wasn't looking so good anymore. Then, she caught sight of her mother's half-eaten strawberry, and her eyes lit up. She quickly picked one up and stuffed it directly into her mother's mouth: "This isn't greasy, try it."
"Hmm!" Liang's mother glared at her daughter in annoyance. If her mouth hadn't been blocked, she would have said that strawberries in this season were obviously produced in greenhouses, and might even be injected with saccharin and erythrogen. They were not greasy either, but they were not much better.
The thin skin of the ripe strawberry was directly broken by the teeth.
The abundant juice contained in the soft and tender flesh fell on the tip of the tongue, which made Liang's mother slightly stunned. It didn't seem like it had been drugged. It tasted sweet but not greasy, with a just right sourness. The flesh was tender and crispy. It looked small, but the skin was thin and juicy. It was very refreshing and comfortable in the mouth, not sticky at all.
Seems pretty good?
The slight anger in her eyes was soothed by the sweet taste. Liang's mother ate the strawberry in a few bites and said awkwardly, "It's okay."
"Tsk~" Liang Baohua snorted complacently. What's so good about it? It's obviously delicious. Even the strawberries her mother usually eats that cost hundreds of dollars in a small box can't compare to this. "You're just being stubborn!"
But she still took another one and handed it to her mother: "Xiao Fang bought this with great difficulty. I don't know when I will be able to buy it again. You should eat more."
"I understand." Liang's mother's tone was a little embarrassed and annoyed.
She looked impatient, but in reality, she was completely reluctant to refuse her daughter's feeding. While eating strawberries, she didn't forget what her daughter had said about Xiao Fang: "Where's Xiao Fang? She's really good. Look at her. You've trained her to be a full-time housekeeper, and she's so capable. You just eat, drink, and have fun. Why don't you at least give me a child to cherish?"
Here it comes again.
Liang Baohua quickly called out, "Fang Yi!"
"Coming." Fang Yi responded with a smile in the kitchen and quickly brought out a dish.
Liang Baohua was puzzled: "What is this?"
“Salt and pepper duck rack!”
After the roast duck slices were finished, the remaining pieces were cut into small pieces, brushed with oil, and put in the oven to bake for a while. After coming out, sprinkled with pepper and salt, it became another crispy and delicious dish. It was ready before, but I was too busy eating the roast duck wraps to get it, and Liang Baohua couldn't eat that much.
But now it's different.
There's one more person.
Since she was the boss's mother, she had to be treated well, so I quickly sprinkled some pepper and salt on it, stirred it, and served it out.
The duck racks just out of the oven are hot and emit a pleasant aroma. Unlike the roast duck skin that becomes a bit greasy after being left for a long time, the duck racks do not have much oil but are full of meaty aroma. The heat also emits the aroma of pepper and salt.
Liang's mother was about to ask why she wanted to continue eating. She wanted to take her daughter back, but before she could say anything, she was stopped by the aroma. She looked at the duck bones in surprise, then at Fang Yi: "Xiao Fang's cooking skills have improved again."
Fang Yi smiled shyly and handed the duck carcass to Liang's mother: "Madam, it's not my cooking skills that are good, it's the ducks that are good. They are all free-range, absolutely natural, and very clean. Try it, it's not greasy, it's roasted."
Liang's mother was still a little reserved. She came here today to teach her daughter a lesson.
Seeing this, Liang Baohua took the chopsticks and picked up a small piece of duck meat with bones and was about to stuff it into her mouth: "Mom, don't hold it there, eat first. If you want to scold me, you have to eat your fill first."
Liang's mother was so frightened that she quickly stepped aside: "I can do it myself, I can do it myself!"
Liang Baohua then stopped force-feeding the baby.
Liang's mother took the chopsticks and found a place with more meat and fewer bones. In fact, there was not much meat here. After all, the better meat had been sliced by Fang Yi. But there was no need to gnaw on this piece. With a little force, the slightly crispy duck meat on the outside was bitten off. She thought that this kind of roasted meat would be a bit dry.
However, I didn't expect that there was still some juice inside the duck. When I took a bite, the light salty fragrance of the outer layer and the meaty aroma of the duck itself combined together. It was indeed not greasy or heavy in taste. Everything was light, and only the deliciousness from the juice was much stronger than expected.
It is well known that duck meat is much fishier than chicken, but this time I didn’t taste that at all. Instead, it tasted like a pleasant herbal fragrance.
Like a duck that has been raised on high-quality grass for a long time.
But how can such a duck grow so fat?
Liang's mother didn't say anything, but her eyes were looking at the remaining half plate of roast duck skin. She subconsciously thought that the roast duck skin was a bit greasy now, but if it was freshly out of the pan, it must be very good.
Liang Baohua was always paying attention to her mother. Seeing this, she quickly winked at Fang Yi. Fang Yi also noticed it and took away the roast duck skin: "Madam, this is a bit greasy after being left for a long time. I'll go heat it up. You don't know how fragrant it is when it comes out of the oven. It's really rich but not greasy, sweet and crispy, and delicious. It's super delicious."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Liang's mother nodded and took another piece of duck meat with her chopsticks: "This duck meat is really good. Where did you buy it?"
Liang Baohua breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the duck had conquered his mother, he sat down and picked up a piece of duck bone for himself. It was crispy and had a light salty fragrance. The duck meat was also juicy and delicious. It was so delicious!
Then he said vaguely: "Mom, tell me first, was he the one who complained?!"
"Who?" asked Liang's mother.
"Who else could it be? My blind date." Liang Baohua was angry.
Mother Liang was angry again and wanted to hit her, but she was worried about the child's age. She gritted her teeth and said, "Can't you remember her name? Do you have any manners?!"
Liang Baohua shut up.
She really doesn't remember.
Liang's mother: "...It's not Chengzhou, it's the driver. I asked the driver to keep an eye on you."
Liang Baohua:?
No, that's too much!
Liang's mother sneered as she ate: "Fortunately, I watched you. I thought something had happened. You insisted on leaving the movie halfway through. You really pissed me off..."
The more he spoke, the angrier he became.
Especially when she came to a piece with little meat and many bones, Liang's mother put down her chopsticks and concentrated on scolding her daughter.
But soon, there was a smell similar to the aroma of roast duck rack, but with a bit more oil aroma.
Her voice dropped unconsciously.
Liang Baohua's head, which was originally lowered, was getting higher and higher.
The mother and daughter's similar faces stared at the plate of roast duck skin that had become delicious again after being heated.
Fang Yi didn't dare to bake it for too long, just heated it slightly.
The duck skin becomes plump and crispy again, with a beautiful oily sheen.
She put down the plate and handed over a wet tissue: "Madam, please try this. It's been re-roasted. The duck skin is really crispy."
Liang's mother: "...Yeah."
And then, nothing happened.
The roast duck is finished.
The strawberries are finished.
Now that she was truly full and satisfied, Liang's mother became gentle and lazy. Finally, she remembered her previous question: "Where did you buy this?"
Liang Baohua looked at Fang Yi, who smiled and explained, "It's a shop I found online. The owner raises some chickens and ducks himself, but only sells them alive. They're hard to transport, so they only sell them locally. I asked my runner to buy them for me. They killed them at the market and then quickly frozen them. Each duck cost over 500 yuan."
Liang's mother was shocked: "Such a good quality duck, and she only sells it for over 500 yuan. Is this owner doing charity?!"
Liang Baohua nodded and said, "I think so too. It's so cheap. The vegetables and fruits here are of great quality. Mom, the cucumber and strawberries in the duck pancake you just ate were from hers. Aren't they great too?"
The only poor person is:
Five hundred per piece is not cheap at all!
The vegetable sellers are all complaining about their wallets because the prices are too high.
After so long, she still couldn't get used to the fact that she was hugging the thighs of a rich girl!
She is awesome!
Liang's mother nodded in agreement and said to Fang Yi, "Xiao Fang, buy more ducks and vegetables from her family, and then Xiao Hua will give you a bonus."
Fang Yi cheered up: "Okay, Madam, don't worry, I will definitely buy more!"
So the next day, she succeeded... but failed to get it.
The assistant replied to her that the ducks were sold out.
Fang Yi: “?!”
That’s all?!
Boss, is this reasonable?! Such delicious ducks, and you only raise so few? ! ! !
Assistant: Yes, there are only 30 ducks. They are sold out. But we will start selling chickens and eggs tomorrow. The chickens are 35 at 100 yuan per pound. You can wait for them at 9 o'clock tomorrow.
——
Yes, after selling the ducks, they sold the chickens.
The ducks were finally snatched away on the third day.
When it was the chickens' turn, all 35 chickens were sold out within two days. There were originally seven left, and they thought they could be sold for two days. Assistant Feng from Shi Ding Tian got the news from somewhere, drove over, and bought the remaining seven chickens.
There were still ten roosters and ten ducks left, so Jiang Heng decided to keep them and not sell them.
It was eaten by Jiang Heng.
You can't let your mouth suffer even if it hurts your customers.
Then there are hens and ducks, which are kept for laying eggs. Duck eggs are also delicious, but hens usually take five or six months to lay eggs, which is a month later than chickens. Therefore, it is estimated that duck eggs will not be available until October.
Jiang Heng sells eggs for five yuan each.
Duck eggs will be sold for six yuan at that time.
At the beginning, only a few of them laid eggs every few days. After about a week, the number of eggs harvested per day exceeded ten. From that day on, the number of eggs increased.
Since there is no need to pick mushrooms anymore, one of Jiang Heng’s tasks every morning is to pick eggs.
When there are more than twenty eggs, picking up eggs becomes an interesting game.
Every time she waited for the chickens to go out to find food, she would leisurely stroll over here after breakfast, carrying a small basket by her side. When she went in, she could see that there were two or three eggs in the middle of each of the three-story chicken coops.
Some chicken nests can have four or five eggs.
Pick them up one by one and put them in the basket, then put some spiritual water into the chickens' drinking bowl as a reward for taking the eggs, and then you can go back.
This is much easier than picking mushrooms, like playing a game.
Jiang Heng now enjoys doing this every day. Seeing more and more eggs, she feels a sense of accomplishment, although it is all thanks to the hen.
Apart from collecting eggs, there is no other work for the time being.
The main task in autumn is the transplanting and planting of various fruit trees.
Jiang Heng was already thinking about which fruit trees to buy.
They are in the central region, which has the advantage of distinct four seasons, but at the same time they cannot grow some tropical fruits as they are easily frozen to death in the winter.
Therefore, the fruits they can grow here are generally watermelons, strawberries, grapes, cherries, persimmons, oranges, plums, pears, and peaches.
This category is still quite impressive.
Considering the difficulty in harvesting fruit trees, the first three hills are the first choice among the five hills. This has to be mentioned because there are many mountains here, which means that these hills are not completely independent, but undulating. The areas she contracted also have some small paths that the villagers used to walk on, but it is still very difficult to develop them thoroughly.
Not to mention the difficulty of harvesting, just planting is a big problem.
After some writing and drawing, Jiang Heng finally finalized the plan and was waiting to find a few reliable fruit farmers to buy fruit trees. However, she didn't want the kind of well-cultivated fruit trees, but the four or five-year-old fruit trees. These fruit trees would bear fruit in the second year after being transplanted, so there would be no need to wait for two or three years.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard someone shouting downstairs.
She is the great-grandmother in the village.
"Xiao Heng, someone's coming to visit you again. Can you please come out and greet them?"
Jiang Heng:?
She was lying on the sofa in the small living room on the second floor. Her brows furrowed slightly when she heard this. She went to the balcony to take a look and met the eyes of a bright-looking young woman with a slightly embarrassed expression. The woman pulled the corners of her lips in obvious embarrassment and explained, "Auntie, no need to greet me. I'm just taking a look around."
"Yes, yes. I know you're here to look for Xiao Heng. Our village is huge. Someone got lost in the mountains a while ago. Don't wander around aimlessly." Grandma Zeng said enthusiastically. Seeing Jiang Heng, she immediately waved, "Look, is this your guest?"
Jiang Heng: ...something feels wrong.
Doesn't he look like a guest of hers?
Really come to their village for tourism???
——
Wu Huiying was indeed here for a 'tour'.
As the new village chief of Jiangjia Village, she came to take a look at this place in advance. As an ordinary passerby, she wanted to see the specific situation of the village and the customs of the people so as to know how to deal with it next.
After all, the villagers all have their own little thoughts.
She has a lot of ideas in her mind, but she will never say them out loud and expect others to listen. For some people, she has to use soft tactics, for some people, she has to use hard tactics, and for some people, she has to use both sweet dates and sticks.
There is always a method that suits them.
When she arrived here, Wu Huiying discovered that this place was exactly as described in the information.
Very poor and desolate.
Yes, desolate.
When she went to the mountains to help with poverty alleviation before, it was not so desolate. There were small buildings in the village, and at first glance, people seemed to be living a good life. However, the cement road was dilapidated, the houses were empty, and it was surrounded by mountains. There was only one road leading to the village, and there were not many people. This made Wu Huiying feel very disappointed.
no!
How can she develop without anyone!!!
Aren’t people the most important thing?!
But Wu Huiying could also understand that this village was not as isolated as the mountains she had visited before. The previous leaders must have done a lot of work. There was a small county town about ten or twenty kilometers away, connecting the village with big cities for information exchange. Naturally, people with some ability would choose to leave for a better place.
On the contrary, the villages in the real mountains are isolated from the news, and people have lived there for generations. Not many people are willing to leave, so it seems that there are too many people.
Just as Wu Huiying was thinking about what to do in this situation, and how to develop the mountains, attract young and middle-aged people to return to the village to start businesses, and attract talents back, she saw a truck clanging past, transporting some cement and lime. It was not passing by the village, but turned into the village not far ahead.
She subconsciously followed over to see what was going on.
She had seen this place from afar and saw that most of the houses were high-rise buildings. Whose filial child came back to renovate the house?
But the amount of cement and lime is not much?
When I followed them, I saw a group of people working hard: some were unloading goods, some had already started mixing cement, some were in charge of arranging things, and there was a little kid with a red face who was trapped in a tomato and chewing on it.
In addition, there were some elderly people eating melon seeds and watching the fun and chatting nearby.
Their faces were all beaming with joy, and their clothes were as simple and cheap as those of most poor people, but they did not have the resigned and lifeless look, and their voices of talking and laughing were particularly loud.
This village is a little different.
Wu Huiying thought to herself.
I couldn't help but observe it more.
As they watched, the group of people noticed her. They were confused at first, but then they quickly realized what was going on.
Especially Grandma Zeng, who happened to be nearby, came over immediately and said, "Are you here to look for Boss Jiang? You've come to the wrong place. Boss Jiang is behind the village!"
Wu Huiying: “Ah?”
She was a little confused, but the other party had no ill intentions and was very enthusiastic. She hurriedly explained: "No, I just came here for tourism."
Grandma Zeng: "I know, it's tourism! You've gone the wrong way. Go this way, this is the village..."
Wu Huiying: ...Wait, shouldn't you first be wondering why I came to your village for tourism?!
Before she could continue to think about the reason for this difference, she was pulled away by Grandma Zeng. The old lady did not forget to turn around and say to everyone: "I will take her to Xiaoheng. You wait for me."
"Okay, go ahead."
"How about I go with you?"
"No, no, that kid doesn't like playing with you older guys."
The person asking the question rolled his eyes in anger: "You're not that old! You're only eighteen!"
"Hehe..." Grandma Zeng didn't get angry. She smiled and greeted Wu Huiying, "Over here, over here. But it's quite dangerous for a girl like you to come here alone. We're all honest people in our village, but it's not necessarily the case in other villages. A while ago, someone from Xujia Village came to steal our dog. Hey, don't you see who's keeping the dog now?"
She was angry and felt sorry for her son Dahei when she talked about this.
Wu Huiying felt increasingly puzzled. Huh? There were dogs in this village?
There weren't many people around, and no dogs were seen.
Because of this strangeness, she didn't break free immediately, but listened to it and subconsciously asked, "Did you steal it?"
"They stole it," said Grandma Zeng. Seeing Wu Huiying frown, she immediately said, "Don't worry, they've been found. They have criminal records for theft and are still in custody. They're said to be suing soon. Xiaoheng's lawyer will be here to fight the case. I guarantee they'll get a sentence, even if it's just a few days!"
Wu Huiying was stunned.
ah?
There are such people in this village?!
At this moment, Wu Huiying was led through a densely populated area of houses, and the view suddenly opened up. She discovered a small two-story building standing alone at the end of the village, and a large piece of land surrounded by green fences at the back, extending into the mountains!
no? !
Who in a contracted area would use guardrails worth this much?! Aren't these things only used on highways?!
Then she noticed that there was a lot of grass drying in front of the house. Some cats were rolling on it, some were lying down and sleeping in the shade of the trees. There were also more than a dozen pet food bowls neatly placed next to the yard gate. Through the reflection of the sunlight, you could see that they were filled with water.
There was a pickup truck parked on the side of the yard, which looked new and clean.
With Wu Huiying's keen eyesight, she estimated that the car should be worth more than 200,000 yuan.
It’s not cheap for rural areas.
Especially for a backward village.
Then, Grandma Zeng shouted, and the two of them came face to face.
*
Jiang Heng and Wu Huiying sat opposite each other, looking in amazement at the man in front of them who was about their own age. "Are you the new village chief?!"
She had little contact with government officials, and her impression was that candidates for village head were all quite old.
Although I knew that the village chief and others had said that a young man would take over, I didn't expect him to be so young.
She thought that the young people they were talking about were those in their thirties or forties.
Wu Huiying also stared at Jiang Heng in surprise. Before she came here, the only village information she had seen was the annual report, which was from last year. She didn't expect that in just a few months, such a person would emerge in this village. She was a little shocked and said, "I am, you really sold a pound of spinach for 30 yuan?!"
Jiang Heng: “…Yes.”
Wu Huiying took a deep breath and grabbed Jiang Heng's hand: "What a business genius!!!"
Jiang Heng: “…”
hateful!
Being treated as a profiteer!!!

The author has something to say: Wu Huiying later: I misjudged [covering my face with laughter and tears]
P.S. My dears, I'm sorry for some bugs. Regarding the contracted land, the scope of my subsequent design is a bit different from the actual scope of the heroine's contract, so I changed the previous contracted area to 1,000 acres, of which 70% is mountainous and 30% is cultivated land. The rest has no effect. I just want to say it here [covering my face and laughing and crying][covering my face and laughing and crying][covering my face and laughing and crying]
