Chapter 92, Wild Grapes (Please vote for recommendation)
When He Anze came, his grandmother warned him that Boss Zhao was very smart and he should not be fooled. He was also a well-traveled man and would know how to speak politely.
"That may disappoint Boss Zhao. I came to the county town this time just to bring you a message. I can't go back for a while because I have to go to work." He Anze put down the teacup in the water and said with a smile.
"Oh, how could I have forgotten about this? You are working in the transport team. Are you done with your vacation?"
"Yeah, I'm done with vacation."
After chatting for a while, He Anze explained his purpose and left the hotel.
Boss Zhao immediately returned to the kitchen to discuss the trip to Hejia Village with his wife.
Judging from He Anze's tone, I'm afraid there aren't many vegetables at home, only a few dozen kilograms.
Even so, it was worth the trip. "Take Zeyang with you this time and let him go talk to Aunt He's family. He's grown up now, and it's impossible for us to handle everything."
It can be seen that Aunt Qian is a capable and clear-headed person.
Boss Zhao also agreed when he heard this. "Yes, I understand. But we have to bring some gifts this time. Go and prepare them. Let your son come back in the evening. We will go there early tomorrow morning."
Vegetables are no different from other things. If they are left for a long time, they will become old and their taste will be affected, and they will no longer be delicious.
"Well, go give him a call and ask him to come back now." Aunt Qian said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go right away. You take care of the store. If you feel tired, you can close it for a day." Boss Zhao still feels sorry for himself.
Boss Zhao went straight to the post office to call his son. As soon as the call was connected, he immediately asked him to come back.
Qian Zeyang was confused, "Dad, what's wrong?" He still had to keep an eye on the store, how could he leave?
"There's news from Aunt He. Didn't you tell me to tell you as soon as I had the news? Do you still want that dish?" Boss Zhao said impatiently to his son with his eyes narrowed.
He was afraid that his wife would be tired staying in the store alone, so he had to hurry back.
We'll be busy soon.
"Ah, is it Aunt He who sells vegetables?" Qian Zeyang said excitedly.
"That's right, Aunt He sent someone to bring a letter saying that there are two kinds of vegetables at home that can be picked. The quantity is not much, only about a few dozen kilograms, and asked if we want any."
Boss Zhao told his son the information he had obtained.
"Yes, of course. Dozens of kilograms may keep quite a few people." From what his father said, that dish is the best of the best.
"Have you agreed on a price?" A businessman is a businessman.
"Not yet, but I suggest you be more realistic. It would be best if we could be long-term partners," Boss Zhao suggested.
He could see that the young wife of the He family was not someone to be trifled with, so it would be better to make it clear earlier in order to avoid being exposed later.
But it seems that she doesn't know how good the vegetables she grows are.
"Okay, I understand, Dad." Qian Zeyang thought about it and agreed with his father.
If it can really help you take your business further, the high price doesn’t matter.
Just value.
After hanging up the phone, Boss Zhao rushed back to the store.
Mei Xue and Grandma He didn't know what was going on with Boss Zhao. They were planning to go to the mountains to look for wild grapes.
"Grandma, don't people in this village eat wild grapes?" Mei Xue asked curiously as they walked.
"Of course we'll eat it. If we come across it, we'll definitely take it home. Do you think everyone in the village is rich and can buy it to eat?" Grandma He said with a smile.
"Oh, okay, where do we go to pick them?" Mei Xue was not familiar with the things in the mountains.
"Let's pick them on our own mountain. We have a lot of them on our mountain. There are few big trees, but there are a lot of vines." Grandma He was very happy at this time.
Suffering a loss is not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes, suffering a loss is a blessing.
There are not many big trees on the mountain where they live, but the wild fruits that grow there are more than those in other places, such as wild kiwis, gossip fruits, etc., which are very abundant.
It's just out of season.
However, there is one thing that still exists, and that is the edible fruit, which is a wild fruit from the author’s hometown. It is very astringent when green, but very sweet when red. It is now used to make wine, and the price is not low. I just don’t know what its scientific name is.) It is a bit astringent, but it can also be considered an edible wild fruit.
I'll look for it later to see if it's there.
Grandma He was thinking about the wild fruits on the mountain, while Mei Xue was looking around.
Soon they arrived at their own mountain. Mei Xue didn't need her grandmother to lead the way last time she came here, and she walked up the mountain step by step by herself.
However, she didn't know what wild grapes looked like, because there was no such thing in her world, and even if there was, they might not be edible.
"Xiaoxue, please walk slowly. We don't need to go up the mountain. Let's go around the mountain. There is a water source here. Wild grapes usually grow not far from a water source."
Grandma He passed on her experience to Mei Xue.
Mei Xue stopped obediently.
"Grandma, are you tired? Let's take a rest for a while and then look for it." Seeing that her grandma was sweating profusely, Mei Xue immediately found a shady place to stop.
"Here, grandma, have some water." He took out the water from the backpack and handed it to grandma.
Grandma He didn't act pretentiously. She took it and drank it, "Xiaoxue is really thoughtful."
After resting for a while, Grandma He also recovered and said, "Let's go, let's go downstairs."
There was no nap at noon, and Mei Xue was afraid that her grandmother would be tired. After the two of them found several patches of wild grapes, the backpack was almost full.
"Grandma, don't pick them anymore. Let's go home and come back tomorrow." Anyway, there were fruits on her own mountain, so she could come and pick them anytime, and her heart would not be taken away by others.
In addition, these wild grapes receive limited sunlight, so it will take some time for them to mature.
I picked these today and there are still quite a few fruits hanging on the vines.
She also didn't know whether what she planned would work. After all, knowing the recipe and taking action were two different things.
She knew a lot of recipes, but her practical ability was zero, so she couldn't be 100% sure that she could succeed.
"Are these enough? Look, there are more over there. It's okay for us to pick some more." Grandma He shook her head and said, "Grandma is not tired yet." She was not that precious.
Before Xiaoxue came, she did much more work than she does now, and she didn’t feel tired then, so now this little work is not tiring at all.
"That's enough. The basket can't hold any more. I'm familiar with the road now. I'll come again later." Mei Xue still refused to pick any more.
Grandma He saw that her backpack was only half full, and she knew what Xiaoxue was thinking, "You."
"Let's go, let's go back." Grandma He felt so warm when she saw Xiaoxue's love for her.
Seeing her grandma’s sweet smile, Mei Xue felt sweet in her heart too.
After returning home, Mei Xue began to ask her grandmother if she had an airtight jar.
She decided to give it a try.
She tasted the wild grapes and found them tasted pretty good, not too sweet nor too sour. If used to make wine, it might taste like what was described in the book.
Sweet and sour, with a strong wine aroma.
