Vegetables in farmers' markets, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplants, green beans, and peppers, cost only a few cents per pound.
Not only are they inexpensive, but they are also exceptionally fresh.
Tomatoes at this time of year have thin skin, soft texture, and a sandy consistency, resulting in a very rich flavor.
Whether eaten raw, mixed with sugar, or scrambled with eggs, it's absolutely delicious.
Unfortunately, because its skin is very thin and not resistant to transportation, some large-scale growers do not choose this variety, and it later disappeared from the market. You can only eat it if you grow it yourself.
After making some purchases, Gu Wei found a donkey cart and took the goods to the place he had chosen in advance.
After unloading several large baskets of vegetables, the old man driving the donkey cart left.
He waited a while longer to make sure everything was alright before returning to the modern world with the vegetables and his bicycle.
After arriving home, Gu Wei first took a relaxing bath and then slept for a while.
I went to the shop after I woke up.
As everyone knows, Gu Wei is busy buying vegetables from the people who grow them themselves.
Seeing that he had brought over quite a lot, Jian Fei and Zhou Wenyi, who were downstairs, gathered around while the waiters were unloading the truck.
"Mr. Gu, is this a hairy pink tomato?"
Jane's eyes lit up as she stared at the basket of tomatoes covered in a fine fuzz, like they were covered in frost, and asked.
Gu Wei smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, it's the old variety. Unlike the 2.0 version that's been improved for transportation and preservation, which is hard and doesn't taste good."
Zhou Wenyi blinked and chimed in, "That kind of food that's neither sour nor sweet, and doesn't taste like tomatoes, is really awful. And the potatoes have all sprouted, but the tomatoes are perfectly intact, it's terrifying."
Song Daming and Zuo Taiqing, who arrived later, saw them studying tomatoes and joined in.
"These tomatoes are amazing; they release juice as soon as you stir-fry them."
"Yes, homegrown tomatoes are still the best."
Gu Wei could tell that they all wanted to eat, so he simply had someone pick some, wash them, and let them try them.
After eating it, everyone praised it highly.
At the same time, it also gave me some more confidence in the future of the hotel.
To know whether a restaurant is doing well or not, you don't have to look at how beautiful the dishes are; the most important thing is that they taste good.
With the ingredients secured, the chef is also crucial.
Everything in the kitchen is ready for use, and the tools and seasonings have been purchased.
It's time to start tasting the dishes.
After discussing the matter with Zuo Taiqing and the others, Gu Wei returned to his office.
Song Daming knocked on the door and came in quickly.
In front of outsiders, the two maintained the demeanor of boss and employee.
In private, as close friends, we're definitely very relaxed and can say whatever we want.
"David, you've really got it! Those dishes are all so flavorful. If you can maintain this level of quality after opening, plus some advertising and promotion, the business should be pretty good."
Song Daming continued, "I have to admit, when I first heard you say you were going to open a restaurant, I also thought it was a pipe dream. But you actually managed to set it up."
Gu Wei couldn't help but laugh: "Don't talk about you, I feel the same way. I just did it on a whim. But once you start, there's no turning back, so I had to stick with it to the end."
If given another chance to choose, he would probably choose a different industry.
But he doesn't regret it.
Because we have plenty of capital to try and fail.
Song Daming stared wide-eyed, speechless. "So your calm demeanor was all an act?"
"Of course, I've never run a restaurant before, so I can only grit my teeth and persevere."
Gu Wei spoke as if it were the truth, and Song Daming believed him.
"You're incredibly brave! If it were me, I definitely wouldn't dare!"
After learning that Gu Wei had won the lottery, he also imagined how he would spend the money if it were him.
The result is either buying a house or depositing money in the bank to earn interest.
"Haven't you heard the saying, 'The bold get rich, the timid starve'? How will you know if you can do it if you don't try?"
Just then, Gu Wei's phone, which was lying face down on the table, suddenly beeped.
He picked it up and glanced at it, discovering that it showed a deposit of over eight million yuan into his account.
Unexpectedly, the proceeds from the auction of the century-old wild ginseng arrived today!
This must have included personal income tax and the auction company's fees.
Gu Wei didn't feel particularly sorry for him.
After all, they also made sacrifices.
Moreover, those who are content are always happy.
When Song Daming noticed Gu Wei's beaming smile because of a message, he immediately started gossiping: "It must be a woman on the other end, right? Someone you just met? Is she pretty?"
Gu Wei, of course, couldn't reveal the truth to Song Daming. Taking advantage of the situation, he said in a serious tone, "Beautiful. Don't you know I'm a sucker for good looks?"
"Holy crap, you're actually up to something!"
After raising his voice instinctively, Song Daming belatedly realized that the office wasn't very soundproof, so he quickly lowered his voice and asked, "When can I see him?"
"It's still far from certain; we'll talk about it when the opportunity arises."
Gu Wei gave Song Daming a few perfunctory words and then kicked him out of his office.
Song Daming stood outside the main office door, but did not rush in.
He looked at Zhou Wenyi, who was typing away on the keyboard with her back to him, and felt a pang of regret. It seemed that his good friend and she really had no chance.
He had previously tried to bring the two together.
To be honest, this girl is an excellent candidate for a girlfriend.
She comes from a good family, is beautiful, and has a good personality.
Unfortunately, Gu Wei just wouldn't be moved or attracted to her, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
However, feelings are hard to predict, and people are constantly changing, with one thought after another.
It's not necessarily true that there's no chance at all.
Zhou Wenyi seemed to sense something, stopped what she was doing, and turned around.
He noticed that Song Daming's expression was a bit off, and his heart tightened.
As Gu Wei's best friend, he must know the most about everything.
Could it be...
Gu Wei didn't stay in the store long and quickly drove away.
Although there was a large sum of money coming in, after experiencing it so many times, one becomes numb to it.
The mentality of suddenly becoming rich and having to spend money or celebrate is gone.
Instead, they calmly continued doing what they were supposed to do.
I don't even have the desire to go on a shopping spree anymore.
Over the next few days, Gu Wei and Zuo Taiqing had interviews and tasted dishes with several chefs.
Finally, they selected a few candidates who satisfied them.
The restaurant is making preparations for its opening in an orderly manner.
The renovation of the villa is also in full swing.
Gu Wei only showed up occasionally; he spent most of his time eating, drinking, and having fun.
In the past, I was poor and destitute, working from dawn till dusk just to earn a few coins.
Now that they have money and leisure time, they naturally travel around enjoying the scenery.
If it weren't for the constraints of time and reality, Gu Wei would love to fly to even farther places and live a carefree life.
September 10th, the 26th day of the seventh lunar month, Sunday.
This day is not only Teachers' Day, but also the opening day of Gu Wei's Memory Flavor Private Kitchen.
