Chapter 249 No One Cares
Li Fu glanced at him and ignored him. Instead, he nodded to the man sitting in the office and said, "Director Xiang, I have something to report to you."
Director Xiang is the director of the Central Town Comprehensive Office and an absolute powerful figure. He is mainly responsible for the management of the central town, environmental protection, and food and drug safety.
To put it bluntly, public security is under his jurisdiction.
And if Xicun wants to go to Ye Qing's orchard to cut down the fruit trees, he will be in charge of this matter.
The matter was not complicated and the situation was very clear. Li Fu quickly told the story. After listening to the director, he glanced at Dai Hui and said, "Is this true?"
Dai Hui nodded and said, "About the same."
Director Xiang said, "If that's the case, Dai Hui has the agreement, so we should handle it according to the agreement."
"Village Chief Li, you are about to retire."
"Be quiet and don't worry about it."
Li Fu was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Director Xiang to have such an attitude. He immediately became anxious: "How can we just ignore this?"
"All the fruit trees in the orchard were saved."
"For these fruit trees, everyone in our village has almost taken turns to work together. We finally have hope. If Xicun goes to cut down the trees, all our efforts will be wasted."
After hearing this, Dai Hui laughed: "It's really rare."
“Dead fruit trees can come back to life.”
"Li Fu, you're really brave enough to say anything to protect that kid."
Li Fu shouted, "Dai Hui, do you know what the consequences will be if this matter is made public?"
"Can you afford the responsibility?"
Dai Hui laughed: "I'm anxious, you're anxious."
"I'm not causing trouble."
"I follow all the rules, and Director Xiang supports me."
Director Xiang took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said calmly, "Village Chief Li, don't make a big deal out of this."
"You are so old, why are you still so unstable?"
"I don't think this matter is that serious."
Li Fuqi was trembling all over.
It's obvious that he's taking sides with the director.
At this time.
A clerk came in and said he wanted to report on his work.
He raised the teacup to the director to show his farewell.
Dai Hui stood up and said goodbye, and Li Fu had to go out as well.
Close the door.
Dai Hui said triumphantly, "Li Fu, that guy is still a little too young to fight me."
"You mustn't get involved in this mess. You're just an old man, and you might fall apart."
"This is a friendly reminder."
After saying that, he walked out laughing.
Li Fu sighed.
I wanted to find other people, but they all turned me down. I don’t know if it was a coincidence or if Dai Hui had already made arrangements in advance.
Either way, it's not good.
…
noon.
Because of the trouble caused by Dai Hui, no one was ready to cook when it was time for dinner, not even Kangzi. Ye Qing rode his electric bike to the dock.
I saw black abalone, which is a rare item.
Now that it has been introduced into the country, the output is very small. I didn’t expect that it would also be found in the waters of Longwei Island.
This vendor didn't sell many, only thirteen in total. I weighed them and they weighed fifteen pounds in total. At four hundred yuan per pound, the price was a bit high.
Ye Qing was too lazy to bargain and bought them all.
I bought some shrimps, crabs and dried scallops, and finally went to the grocery store to buy two chickens and some drinks before returning to the orchard.
Kangzi saw the black abalone, shrimps and crabs and asked curiously, "Qingzi, what delicious food are you making for lunch?"
Ye Qing said, "Cook some seafood porridge and stew some abalone and chicken. It's a simple meal."
Kangzi's eyes lit up and he said, "I'll take care of it."
Kangzi nodded.
The iron pot was placed in the southeast corner of the wooden house, uncovered.
Focus on the original ecology.
Make a fire.
Firewood is branches pruned from fruit trees that have been dried for a while and can be used for burning.
The air was filled with smoke, carrying the fragrance of fruit trees.
Kangzi packed up the ingredients and came over, saying, "The food here will definitely be delicious."
soon.
Cook the seafood porridge and set it aside to cool.
Ye Qing cleaned the pot and started to make abalone stewed chicken.
Heat oil in a pan and sauté ginger and garlic.
First put the chicken pieces and stir-fry until the moisture comes out. When the chicken oil comes out, add beer, spices, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, stir-fry together, and add water and stew after the seasoning is adjusted.
After stewing for a while, add abalone and stew together.
Finally, simmer over high heat until the sauce thickens.
Open the lid of the pot and sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions. The rich aroma will soon fill the entire orchard.
Ye Lan and the others, who originally had no appetite, came over at the same time.
Kangzi swallowed his saliva furiously and said, "It smells so good."
"I can eat three bowls of rice with just the soup."
"Slurp."
He couldn't help swallowing.
Because he made a lot, Ye Qing directly put it in a big bowl. Slowly, as the bowl was saturated, both the abalone and the chicken pieces were surrounded by the rich soup, and they were very tasty.
Just looking at it makes one's mouth water.
Boiled shrimp, steamed crab, abalone stewed chicken, seafood porridge, and stir-fried vegetables.
A very simple lunch.
Everyone moved the dining table and chairs out of the wooden house and sat down.
Each of them served a bowl of seafood porridge.
Let’s eat.
Kangzi picked up a piece of chicken first, not caring about the heat, and stuffed it into his mouth impatiently. He ate while breathing heavily and praised it endlessly: "Delicious, so delicious."
“It’s really tasty.”
"It tastes like the fragrance of fruit trees."
“This tastes amazing.”
Ye Qing also picked up a piece of meat and started eating, nodding his head. The chicken and abalone had absorbed the essence of the concentrated soup, and the taste was mellow and rich, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
The atmosphere of worldly life is what soothes the hearts of ordinary people the most.
As everyone ate and drank, the atmosphere gradually became lively and everyone put their worries behind them.
Kangzi said, "If tourists come to our village, we can give them this dish. I guarantee they will want to eat it again."
Ye Qing had an idea and thought that this farm stay project seemed to be feasible.
It is said that if you want to capture a man’s heart, you must first capture his stomach.
This is how you can capture the hearts of tourists.
The fruit trees are ready, and the branches need to be pruned every year. If the orchard cannot supply enough, you can go to the island to collect them. As for abalone and the like, there are plenty of them in the sea.
It's just that this chicken is a bit troublesome.
He looked at Shi Zheng and asked, "Can we raise chickens in the orchard?"
Shi Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Okay."
"As long as we raise chickens within a reasonable range, we can prevent problems such as weeds and insect pests on fruit trees. Moreover, the chickens do not need feed and are purely free-range."
“It’s just a bit troublesome to manage.”
"You want to raise chickens here?"
Ye Qing nodded.
Shi Zheng smiled bitterly: "You still have to think about how to get through this stage first."
He really wanted to complain that Ye Qing was so generous.
He can't even keep the orchard, and yet he still wants to raise chickens.
What if the orchard is gone?
What’s the point of raising it?
Ye Qing smiled and said nothing. Soon, a large pot of abalone stewed chicken and seafood porridge was eaten up, and not a single side dish was left.
"Burp, I'm really full."
Kangzi rubbed his belly. He used to be dark and thin, but now his belly was obviously bulging, and he had gained weight obviously in recent times.
It's hard not to get fat if I follow Ye Qing around eating and drinking all day long, and even have some midnight snacks from time to time.
but.
The one who ate the most was Ye Qing.
After eating, Ye Qing's stomach looked the same as usual, which made Kangzi very envious.
Ye Qing did not hide his talent and boasted of his extraordinary talent.
Zhang Jun picked his teeth with a toothpick and said with a smile, "Brother, we'll make arrangements tomorrow."
Ye Lan said, "You've been thinking about eating all the time. You've gained five or six pounds in this period of time."
Zhang Jun scratched his head and said, "It's really delicious what my brother made."
Ye Qing shrugged: "Then is it my fault?"
Ye Lan said, "How come A-di doesn't get fat when he eats more than you?"
Zhang Jun felt wronged.
Can he compare with Ye Qing?
But he didn't dare say it out loud, otherwise Ye Lan would definitely scold him again.
Kangzi and Shizheng were clearing the dishes.
Ye Qing asked Ye Lan to go to the town to see if there were any chicks for sale, and if so, to buy some.
Ye Lan frowned: "Brother, have you thought it through?"
"You can't make much money raising chickens, and if they get sick, it's going to be really troublesome."
“And management is also a problem.”
Ye Qing smiled and said, "Let's try raising some first."
Seeing him say that, Ye Lan stopped pouring cold water on him.
Zhang Jun also wants to go.
Zhang Xiaoyu didn't want to go to bed and wanted to watch cartoons, and even Xiao Huang wanted to watch them.
Ye Qing brought out a tablet computer and played Paw Patrol. Zhang Xiaoyu watched it seriously, and Xiao Huang also watched it attentively.
Ye Qing sat next to him and asked Xiao Huang, "Can you help manage the chicks when they arrive?"
Xiao Huang tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Woof woof woof (Leave it to Xiao Huang)."
Ye Qing laughed and rubbed Xiao Huang's head: "Look."
Who says watching cartoons is useless?
Isn't this quite useful?
Ye Qing had just laid down to watch a video when an uninvited guest arrived.
