Chapter 225 The Origin of Spicy Rabbit Head
He Yunbang rushed up and started beating Li's son, who fell to the ground with blood flowing from his nostrils.
He Yunbang picked him up from the ground, punched and kicked him, cursing: "Even beasts are more human than you! The old beast gave birth to a little beast, and the whole family is full of beasts!"
The son was beaten so hard that he could only wail. The mother-in-law of the Li family cried, "Stop beating me! You're going to kill me!"
The old man from the Li family rushed over to pull He Yunbang, and both of them were anxious to protect their son. In the chaos, Azhen finally escaped.
Mother He hugged Ah Zhen and said, "Ah Zhen, don't be afraid."
"Why, you also feel pain? When your whole family bullied her, did you ever think that she is also a human being and will feel pain too?" He Yunbang was so angry that he kicked her again.
Suddenly, Li's mother ran over crying and shouting: "Police comrades, help me..."
When he saw the police, He Yunbang finally stopped.

Yue Ning looked at her watch. It was already 12:40 and the orders were still pouring in. Uncle Abang wasn't coming yet? She had cooked so many dishes and was sweating. She had to go back and change her clothes.
"Sister Xiuqin, please fry me another small bowl of rice noodles. I'll eat it first and then go back to change clothes." Yue Ning said.
When Fan Xiuqin's rice noodles came out of the pot, Yue Ning also stopped what he was doing, picked up the bowl and scooped up the rice noodles.
"Xiao Yue." Manager Zhang stood at the door with an anxious look on his face.
Yue Ning was eating while walking to the door. Manager Zhang said, "The police station called and said Abang beat someone up and was taken to the police station."
After hearing this, Fan Xiuqin turned around and asked, "My master is in the police station? He is so good at cooking, how can he not be good at beating people..."
"Just focus on cooking. You're so busy. Don't worry about this." Yue Ning turned around and interrupted her.
She stuffed the rice noodles into her mouth, put down her bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Did you get seriously ill from the fight?"
"Not really. It's just that it's the Spring Fair and we're in the city center, so fighting is a serious matter," said Manager Zhang.
Yue Ning nodded: "As long as the other party is fine, it's fine. Tell the comrades at the police station that his leader is receiving foreign guests at the Spring Fair. When I get out of the Spring Fair, I will go to the police station as soon as possible."
"What now?"
"Now I'm going to the fair."
Yue Ning ran back to the He family. Chinese people love to watch, and there was already a large crowd gathered in front of the He family's shop.
He's mother was hugging Ah Zhen, and no one knew what she was saying.
Seeing Yue Ning, He's mother stood up and said, "Ning Ning."
"Mother-in-law, I came back to change clothes and go to the Spring Fair. I'll talk about Uncle Abang after I come back from the Spring Fair." Yue Ning hurried upstairs, wiped it with a dry towel, and changed into clean clothes. When she went out, she saw He's mother still standing at the door.
Yue Ning looked at her anxious look and said, "Mother-in-law, come downstairs. It's okay. I'll go to the Spring Fair first."
The two were still upstairs when they heard a voice coming up from below: "You jinx, you bastard. You live in this shop, are you having an affair with that bachelor? It's a good dream, but it's a pity that the bachelor was taken to the police station for beating someone up. Such a big incident happened at this critical moment, and the police station called their unit. After committing such a big mistake, the unit leader can still let him go to Gangcheng? I'm afraid he will be fired, right?"
Yue Ning went downstairs and came out, and saw that the old woman's saliva was almost spraying on Azhen's face.
"He Yunbang will not be fired." Yue Ning said.
The old woman saw the little girl in the morning. She didn't know Yue Ning and just thought she was He Yunbang's female apprentice who was learning cooking.
"Who are you?"
"He Yunbang's leader." Yue Ning didn't have time to talk nonsense and walked out quickly.
She was already more than ten minutes late when she arrived at the entrance of Fuyun Building, and she apologized to Zhou Wenting repeatedly.
"It's okay, it's okay. I already know." Zhou Wenting said with a smile.
"Auntie, wait a minute, I'll go in and tell everything." Yue Ning turned and went into the kitchen.
Seeing her coming, Fan Xiuqin asked anxiously: "How is my master?"
"Let him stay at the police station." Yue Ning pulled her aside and said, "That old woman is a rogue. To deal with a rogue, you have to use rogue methods. When the show is over, ask your mother-in-law to take you to the old woman's house and scold her for an hour."
"Two hours is no problem!" Fan Xiuqin was eager to try, "I will scold her so much that she will find a crack in the ground to crawl into."
"I'll leave this to you. I'm leaving now."
Yue Ning came out of the kitchen and met up with Zhou Wenting, and they went to the Spring Fair together. Zhou Wenting took out a yellow ribbon from her bag, which had the words "Guangdong Export Commodities Fair" written on it, and asked Yue Ning to wear it on her chest.
Liuhua Exhibition Hall is very new. It was built in the mid-1970s. The Soviet-style building is grand and neat, with colorful flags fluttering. The large gilded characters of "China Export Commodities Fair" sparkle in the late April sun. People gather in front of the door, gray-blue Dacron work clothes and Western suits are intertwined, and occasionally people wearing Arab robes pass by.
Yue Ning and Zhou Wenting entered the venue, passed through the reception area filled with cloisonné vases and Suzhou embroidery, and came to the silk exhibition area. Next to the pillar with the slogan "Develop the economy to ensure supply", pieces of colorful brocade caught Yue Ning's attention.
Oh my god! That was her favorite in her previous life! The pattern of that Shu brocade was absolutely amazing, and the butterfly Song brocade was breathtakingly beautiful! She wanted to buy that twill now so that she could make summer clothes.
In front of them was the agricultural product area. Yue Ning came to the booth of Guangdong Agricultural Products Import and Export Company. The staff told Zhou Wenting that the meeting with the French guests would last about 20 minutes.
Yue Ning stared at the silk exhibition area and said, "I'll go take a look at the silk."
"Okay, I'll call you when they reach the door." Zhou Wenting nodded.
This girl has a unique dressing style in Hong Kong. She often wears a blouse with jeans, a brocade vest over a T-shirt, or a flowing slanted-collared shirt with a long skirt.
Originally, only wealthy ladies loved to wear brocade cheongsams, but now young girls in Hong Kong cities have also started to wear brocade.
"Yeah." Yue Ning returned to the silk booth.
She is like a mouse falling into a rice jar. Nowadays, who wouldn't bring out the best to show foreign guests?
Look at this piece of brocade with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns, and this piece of flower silk...
"Who are you……"
A staff member was a little confused. The satin strip Yue Ning was wearing was a staff member's identification just like her, but the clothes she was wearing did not look like it.
"I am a staff member of the agricultural products exhibition area. I like silk very much, so I came to take a look." Yue Ning explained, "Comrade, I can take a look by myself, you are busy."
"Okay, okay."
Just then a foreign guest came and the female comrade went to receive him.
Yue Ning looked at a piece of brocade and heard that the female comrade and the foreign guest seemed to be talking at cross purposes. Yue Ning remembered what Qiao Junxian said, that Xiuxiu had learned a foreign language for six or seven months, and he let her handle import and export documents. In the mainland, it was too difficult to find someone who could speak a little English.
They were both talking about craftsmanship, one was asking why there was such a pattern, and the other was talking about what kind of wooden loom it was. Yue Ning couldn't listen any longer, so he walked over and said, "Sir, the craftsmanship of this brocade has a history of more than 800 years. Its characteristic is that the warp and weft threads show patterns at the same time. Look at it, it shines brightly under the light..."
When Yue Ning was introducing, other guests gathered around to listen to her explanation.
After introducing the brocade, Yue Ning turned around and showed the guests her clothes: "I am wearing another kind of brocade, which is embroidered satin. The colored weft threads are woven into the fabric to form patterns. It is very suitable for oriental high-end fashion. My pants are sambo satin, a satin with dark jacquard patterns. It looks good in plain colors and has beautiful prints."
Yue Ning is wearing a yellow satin blouse with butterfly patterns and a pair of black trousers with a dark pattern of wintersweet flowers. She is tall and has been doing fitness all year round, so she has a very good figure. The clothes she wears are gorgeous and elegant, with a simple style, which has both oriental charm and fashion.
A foreign guest looked at her, then at the staff at the booth, all of whom were wearing white shirts and black pants, even the ladies. The young lady in front of him, who spoke fluent English, was the only brightly dressed Chinese person at the scene.
"Miss, are you a model or a designer?" asked the foreign guest.
Yue Ning smiled and said, "I am a chef and a silk lover. I hope you can feel the beauty of silk products like me."
"Chef? How is that possible?"
Seeing Zhou Wenting waving, Yue Ning said, "Really, I'm a very good cook, so I'm going to introduce the ingredients."
Yue Ning pointed to the agricultural product booth, and the guest smiled and said, "Okay! Thank you for your introduction."
Back at the agricultural product booth, Yue Ning asked, "Where are the customers?"
"We'll be there soon." Zhou Wenting replied.
"The fabrics are so beautiful! Can I buy the fabrics from the exhibition? I think I want some!" Yue Ning said to Zhou Wenting.
"They are all exhibits and cannot be bought," said Zhou Wenting.
Yue Ning was a little disappointed. He wished he could buy things at the exhibition like he did in his previous life, but now he could only conclude purchasing transactions with foreign businessmen and not face them personally.
Yue Ning looked at the agricultural products on the booth, including rice, soybeans, corn, and wheat, which are staple foods.
A year ago, she was still in the northwest, where it was difficult to even have a full meal. Of the 1 billion people, 800 million couldn't even fill their stomachs. Aunt Zhou told her that agricultural product exports accounted for the largest share, accounting for 24% of the total export value. If she could sell more, she could earn more foreign exchange.
Looking at the silk booth again, the silk she had been trying so hard to sell just now, which was a treasure she had spent a fortune on in her previous life, woven by a master craftsman using a wooden loom, was now also displayed here, begging the foreign devils to buy it, just to exchange for foreign currency.
Yue Ning saw the guests coming and immediately put on a smile and greeted them. This is also a French food group. Several people said that they had seen her wonderful sharing at the Lyon International Food Exhibition at the beginning of the month.
They originally came to purchase soybeans and corn for dairy cow feed, but after seeing her wonderful sharing at the exhibition, especially what she said about Chinese ham and sausage products, they wanted to come and take a look.
Yue Ning took them to see the cured meat products on display and said, "My team is in Yuecheng today. You can try these dishes tonight and experience the deliciousness of Chinese ham and sausage."
"It's my pleasure."
While she was introducing, she had noticed that the foreign guest who had just been at the silk booth was still waiting there. After she finished the introduction, she was greeting the foreign guest: "Hello!"
"Ms. Chef, I am also interested in your ham and sausage. What should I do?" asked the foreign guest.
"Mr. Matthew, it's an honor for me to have dinner with you." The French guest said with a smile.
"Do you know each other?" Yue Ning was surprised.
"We came together to the Autumn Fair last October," said the man from the food group.
The man from the food group started talking to Matthew in French. There was no French translator present, so Yue Ning could only wait quietly.
She didn't know why Matthew kept looking at her. Suddenly, the one from the food group said, "Ms. Yue, Matthew wants to ask who he should look for if he wants rabbit skins?"
Yue Ning heard Matthew say that fur is now popular in Europe and the United States. Rabbit fur feels good, is easy to dye, and most importantly, is cheap, and is very popular among consumers. So he wanted to come to China this time to see if there is such an opportunity.
The head of the import and export company who was listening to their conversation immediately turned around and went to the booth next to them to call someone. The man brought a piece of gray rabbit skin, and Yue Ning took it and said, "Mr. Matthew, is this it?"
Matthew took the rabbit skin and said, "Yes, this is it."
The comrade who brought the rabbit skin pushed up his glasses and said, "Our rabbit breeding and rabbit skin export have begun to take shape, especially in Chengdu, Sichuan, where there are large-scale rabbit breeding farms and rabbit skin primary processing enterprises..."
Yue Ning listened to Zhou Wenting and Mr. Matthew's introduction and couldn't help but think of the famous Sichuan snack, spicy rabbit head, in his previous life. Spicy rabbit head is because there are rabbit purchasing stations and rabbit slaughterhouses in Shuangliu, Chengdu. Other meats must be supplied with tickets, but skinned rabbit meat is cheaper and does not require tickets. Chengdu people began to eat rabbit meat, and finally made it a classic Sichuan snack.
