"This is cool and has a slightly bitter taste, but the bitterness is not deep enough to reach the heart. Before I finish eating, the bitterness is gone in my mouth. Instead, it has a hint of sweetness. This dish is delicious, really delicious..."
Zhang Fan pointed at a plate of bitter vegetables on the table and nodded continuously.
I'm very surprised. I've never eaten this wild vegetable before. I didn't expect it to taste so good?
Zhang Fan likes these wild vegetables, and Xu Zijun is a little surprised. You know, many of the ingredients Zhang Fan eats are top-notch, whether it is the Australian lobster or king crab, they are all airlifted directly from their place of origin.
No matter whether they are from China or abroad, as long as Xu Zijun thinks the ingredients are good, they will all be sent over.
Zhang Fan is not very picky about food, but he likes to try different kinds of food, so he eats a lot of things, but there is nothing he is particularly impressed with or particularly likes, and he rarely has an expression like this one.
Like it very much!
"I want to try these wild vegetables, too. By the way, Chief, you have a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms here. Can you teach me? I also like to cook..."
Xu Zijun now humbly asked for advice from the clan leader.
But this made the clan leader laugh out loud, and he said that these dishes were made by the wives at home, and every household can cook wild vegetables. These are the simplest ingredients and are very easy to make. As long as you know those ingredients, you can just process and cook them yourself.
When the clan leader said this, Xu Zijun also laughed.
He is a chef and is naturally very talented at cooking. He has never seen these wild vegetables before, but all dishes in the world are just stir-fried, boiled, fried, etc. As long as he knows which vegetables are edible and which are not, the rest will be easy...
Zhang Fan didn't eat much of the bacon and chicken on the table, but he had a special liking for these wild vegetables. He picked up almost every plate and tasted every flavor.
"Xiaoshan, you have a lot of wild vegetables here. Take me to the mountain to have a look when you have time. I will stay here for the next two days. By the way, Chief, are the mountains around you owned by the country, or are they contracted to you?"
Zhang Fan’s last question was to the clan leader.
"The land and forests are definitely owned by the state, but we have contracted them for 70 years. These forests are of no use except for a lot of wild vegetables and mushrooms. Mushrooms are not so bad. We can still pick some every year, and each family can earn 1,000 to 2,000 yuan a year. As for the wild vegetables, they are only enough for us to eat. If we can't finish them, they will rot on the mountain..."
The patriarch gave a bitter smile.
People here envy the big cities and think that people there are really good at making money.
The money any one person earns in a month is more than what their family earns in a year, and I heard it’s very easy.
There is air conditioning at work and no need to climb mountains.
How comfortable it is! Many families dream of their children being able to get out of the mountains, but it is not so easy to get out of the mountains!
It takes several days and nights to travel by car, and many people in the mountains are uneducated. Some people may not be heard from for several years after leaving the mountains, and you don't even know whether they are alive or dead.
This makes many people want to leave the mountains, but they dare not leave the mountains, and they have always lived in contradiction.
"The transportation here is too inconvenient, but if there is an airport, everything will be fine. It's not far away at all. It only takes two hours by plane from Jiangcheng to here..."
Zhang Fan thought for a moment and said slowly, "Let's see." However, the clan leader was stunned and he didn't dare to continue talking.
They use tractors a lot here, basically as a means of transportation.
There was only one van of that kind in the entire village, and he and three friends from the neighboring village bought it together. The three villages took turns using the van, and each person could use it for one day at most, and had to wait for two days.
Because vans are too expensive.
If you don’t even have a decent car, how can you expect to have a plane or an airport?
That patriarch was definitely too far away, so far away that he didn't even dare to think about him, at least not in his dreams.
"If you want to contract a piece of mountain land here, how much money do you need before the farmers are willing to transfer it?"
Seeing that the clan leader didn't speak for a while, Zhang Fan frowned and asked a question, which made the clan leader smile bitterly.
"The mountain is the one behind my house. My family has contracted it. If you want it, I'll give it to you for 50,000 yuan. No, I'll give it to you for 30,000 yuan. I'll give you the entire 70-year contract. If you want the mountain next to it, I'll give it to you for 20,000 yuan. That one, too, is 20,000 yuan..."
When the clan leader made the offer, Xu Zijun behind Zhang Fan was stunned.
Such a big mountain costs twenty or thirty thousand?
Seventy years of contracting rights?
Are they crazy? Do they know that tens of thousands of dollars are sometimes just a way to spend a meal?
Or can a rich person buy the right to contract a mountain here with the money he would spend on a piece of clothing?
This was a little unbelievable, but Xiaoshan thought it was normal and kept nodding his head.
"Brother Zhang, if you really want it, my uncle is not cheating you. His mountains are closer to the village, and there are roads. Mushrooms grow on the mountains, so it's more cost-effective. If you go to a mountain that's farther away, even if it only costs 10,000 yuan, it will take you several hours to get there, even if it's just to pick mushrooms. It's too time-consuming and really not cost-effective..."
Xiaoshan's serious words made Zhang Fan rub his forehead.
This place is so remote that it feels isolated from the world.
Some of the concepts about money here are different from those outside, it’s very surprising, very surprising!
"Chief, if I have a friend here who wants to contract a large piece of mountain, a lot of mountains, is that kind of thing easy to contract?"
Zhang Fan had an idea. Others would find this place very remote. It was too difficult to go in and out. Also, because of the location and population here, there was no airport or high-speed rail.
But he is sure that the air environment here is good, there are many wild vegetables and mushrooms, and the products are abundant.
Especially these wild vegetables, they are amazing and he likes to eat them very much.
Since you like to eat it, the worst that can happen is that you contract some forests, choose a place here, and build an airport. Then the wild vegetables here can be sent to Jiangcheng, right?
Just like that island abroad.
In order to eat the seafood there, he also bought it. Although it seemed like tens of billions of dollars to others, it was really nothing to him. The island was just in a good location, which allowed Zhang Fan to use water control skills.
By using the ability to control water, seafood from the sea can be delivered to the island continuously.
And it's probably for this reason that he likes this place and wants to build an airport here.
Because the wild vegetables here are delicious, if ordinary people were asked to purchase them for him, even the most delicious wild vegetables would become stale in a few days and nights.
But with the plane, it’s different. In just two hours, these wild vegetables can be delivered to Chen Garden. ?
