Chapter 8 Win-win cooperation with Li Guofu

Zhao Wenmu was still responsible for taking care of the little girl at night.

He wakes up four or five times a night, sometimes when the little girl cries, and gets up to feed her rice cereal or change her diaper.

Sometimes I wake up on my own initiative to check if my little girl is sleeping peacefully.

At this moment, the little girl was holding her two fleshy little hands beside her head, sleeping soundly.

Zhao Wenmu's heart melted when he saw it.

The little guy suddenly seemed a little uncomfortable, and started scratching with his hands, and then started crying.

Zhao Wenmu quickly stood up, put on his clothes, and picked up the little guy.

After checking, I guess I'm just hungry.

Zhao Jing also sat up and started to get dressed.

"Sister, it's okay, don't get up."

As Zhao Wenmu spoke, he brewed the rice noodles, let them cool for a while, and then fed them to the little guy skillfully.

Although the little guy is small, he is full of momentum when he drinks rice noodles, "ton ton ton", and his little throat bulges.

Zhao Jing had already put on her clothes and stood over.

She looked at the little guy drinking rice noodles in big gulps, and her eyes were soft.

"Little brother, I will take care of my daughter at night from now on. You are already very busy during the day."

During the day, Zhao Wenmu had to dig wild vegetables and travel to and from the county town to sell wild vegetables. He also cooked the meals. Zhao Jing felt that he was too tired.

Zhao Wenmu did not feel tired. Digging wild vegetables and selling wild vegetables were not strenuous tasks. He was also very happy cooking for his family.

He now feels that he has endless strength.

"Sister, it's okay, you're not tired."

After the little girl finished drinking, he gently bumped the little one to help her fall asleep faster, while gently pushing Zhao Jing to the kang.

Zhao Jing couldn't resist him, so she had to go to bed obediently.

Early the next morning, Zhao Wenmu and his second brother Zhao Wenguang drove an oxcart almost full of wild vegetables into the city to sell.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law actually went to dig up a large basket of wild vegetables early in the morning and placed it on the roadside into the city. When Zhao Wenmu and the others arrived, they loaded it directly into the car.

Along the way, Zhao Wenmu sat in the car and picked the basket of wild vegetables.

He murmured a little in his heart. There were a lot of wild vegetables today and they might not be sold out.

Wild vegetables are in the spotlight at the sugar factory, and about 300 kilograms of them can be sold a day.

After a while, he probably won't be able to sell so much. He estimated that more than 200 kilograms a day should be enough.

The wild vegetables on the ox cart are estimated to weigh 400 kilograms!

I wonder if the remaining wild vegetables can be eaten at the state-owned restaurant?

He plans to sell several other alternative places in a few days.

Sure enough, business in the family area of ​​the sugar factory was still booming, but it failed to create a miracle.

They stayed until half past eight, nearly half an hour longer than usual.

There are still 100 kilograms of wild vegetables left in the car.

Zhao Wenmu decided not to wait. Now that everyone had finished breakfast and went to work, he wouldn't be able to sell much if he waited any longer.

It's better to go directly to the state-owned hotel so that you can go home to work early.

When I arrived at the back door of the hotel, I found Wang Youming already waiting there.

"Brother Zhao, you are finally here!"

Seeing the two brothers, Wang Youming hurried forward to say hello, his face full of enthusiasm.

Seeing the expression on this boy's face, Zhao Wenmu knew that the state-owned hotel was probably going to increase its supply.

After the two greeted each other, Wang Youming quickly ran back to the kitchen, and soon Li Guofu came out with him.

"Director Li, how are the wild vegetables sold at the state-owned hotel?"

Zhao Wenmu asked with a smile, handing each of them a cigarette.

I also handed one to Zhao Wenguang.

The answer is already written on Li Guofu's smiling face.

"Xiao Zhao, wild vegetables are very popular. Many people want to eat them but don't get them!"

As he spoke, he looked at the wild vegetables on the ox cart:

"Sell them all to me today. How about it? Do you have any questions?"

"That's a good feeling!"

"Okay, Xiao Wang, please go and weigh me."

As he spoke, Li Guofu motioned to Zhao Wenmu to follow him to the big willow tree aside. It seemed that he had something to say quietly.

When Zhao Wenguang saw this, he went to help Wang Youming unload the goods and passed by.

"Xiao Zhao, there is a meeting to be held in our county in two days. Important leaders from the city will come over. Our state-owned hotel will be responsible for hosting. I want you to teach me a few more wild vegetables. I know this is a bit presumptuous.

Can you give me ten yuan for each dish?"

Li Guofu was a little embarrassed. As a chef, he naturally understood that every dish was the basis for a chef's livelihood. If it was not necessary, others might not be willing to sell it even if they paid for it.

But there is no other way. The wild vegetables Zhao Wenmu taught yesterday were much more delicious than those cooked by the restaurant before.

Entertaining superiors does not necessarily have to be luxurious, but it must be as delicious and innovative as possible.

Moreover, the leaders of the state-owned hotels and guest houses in Quancheng City would also come over by then. This was directly related to his future, so he had no choice but to beg for help with a stern look on his face.

Zhao Wenmu didn't expect this to be the case, so he naturally agreed readily.

When Li Guofu taught him cooking in his previous life, he never kept anything secret and did not take any tuition fees. He reciprocated the favor and used the love in this life to repay the debt from his previous life, which was considered repayment.

"Director Li, it's no problem. I'll cook some dishes for you later. I don't need to give you any money. I just figured it out myself, and it may not be delicious. I have to trouble you to cook it for me."

!”

Zhao Wenmu spoke nicely and not only agreed to the other party's request, but also took care of Li Guofu's face.

Li Guofu heard this very well and made up his mind to give Zhao Wenmu "money to learn skills". After all, he was working for a state-owned hotel, and it was reasonable for the public to provide some money.

Zhao Wenmu thought for a while and then continued:

"Director Li, why don't you prepare a game feast to entertain the leaders?"

"Oh? Xiao Zhao, please tell me carefully."

Li Guofu's eyes lit up, this is a good idea!

It's still 1980, and there are many protected animals in later generations. The three species of animals are still overpopulated, and it is not illegal to kill them or eat them.

Of course, it refers to common ones like hares and pheasants, not pandas or tigers.

"Our area is close to Daqingshan, and there is plenty of game. You can make some wild vegetables, order some hare, pheasant, wild boar, and some Wenhe crucian carp, and make a fish soup or something. There are meat and vegetables, and soup.

It can highlight our local characteristics.”

Li Guofu slapped his thigh, what a great idea!

"Okay, this is good! Can you get game? Pheasants and hares are purchased in state-owned restaurants for 2 yuan a pound, and fish are 1 yuan 2 a pound!"

Pork belly is only 7 cents per pound, and game is 2 yuan, which is already a very attractive price.

Nowadays, many farmers hunt some game. It is not popular to eat game in this era. At least in the eyes of rural people, game is not as delicious as pork.

Pork is tender and rich in fat. In the eyes of poor people, it is more delicious than game.

Moreover, farmers cannot sell the prey they catch, and there are no sales channels at all.

Li Guofu thought for a while and added:

"If the response is good, I will give you all the game the state-owned restaurants need in the future!"

This was quite a bait, and Li Guofu also hoped that Zhao Wenmu could help them produce a few more game dishes.

"Okay! When do you want it?"

Zhao Wenmu happily agreed.

It is better to participate in it and do your part to protect wild animals in your own way. For example, if you have the ability in the future, you can engage in artificial breeding of hares and pheasants.

Of course, this is all for later.

There is only one thing to say right now, if you have money, don’t make it a bastard!
