Chapter 193 The Celebration Banquet
Halfway through the meal, Li Xianglan looked at Cao Chunyuan, who had been concentrating on eating chicken. Next to Cao Chunyuan's small bowl, a small pile of chicken bones had been piled up.
Li Xianglan was a little surprised to see Cao Chunyuan's unimpressive eating appearance, because Cao Chunyuan usually eats very little, and she is mainly vegetarian.
But today, Cao Chunyuan ate nearly one-third of the big cock alone, which was more than she usually eats for several days.
"Ernie, where did you buy this chicken? Why is it so tender?"
"Well, woo~"
Cao Chunyuan chewed it all before swallowing the chicken in her mouth.
"This chicken is raised free-range in the mountains. It is different from ordinary domestic chickens."
Li Xianglan nodded and said: "This chicken tastes really good. I stewed it for more than an hour, and the chicken is not bad at all, and it still tastes so tender.
Also, the size and hair of this chicken are better than the chickens we raised before. Our chickens were fed corn residue and wild vegetables. This chicken is better than our chickens. It has to eat
What kind of thing can be so well-maintained?
Can you order some eggs from others so that we can raise a few at home?"
"Haha~" Cao Chunyuan smiled awkwardly. This chicken ate fruits and vegetables from Phoenix Space and drank spiritual spring water. If the meat quality was not as good as that of ordinary domestic chickens, then it would be a ghost.
As for the eggs Li Xianglan mentioned, Cao Chunyuan does have some. But for those eggs that are temporarily stored in space, Cao Chunyuan wants them to hatch and then be used as samples for breeding.
"Haha, these are free-range chickens raised in the mountains. They eat insects and grains. They are definitely tastier than the chickens we raise in captivity!
If you like it, after our house is built, I will build you a chicken farm, and you can raise as many chickens as you want."
Li Xianglan usually raises chickens, mainly to eat more eggs for cooking at home, or to stew meat for festivals. She has no intention of setting up a breeding farm.
Li Xianglan shook her head repeatedly and said, "I'm not like your father, who wants to join in the fun of everything. I just think this breed of chicken is pretty good, and I want to raise a few."
"Haha, okay, I'll tell my friend when I get back and ask her to leave some chicks for you."
"Uh-huh."
Now that Cao Chunyuan had tasted the taste of chicken, she turned her attention to the other livestock. Fortunately, the Chinese New Year was the day after tomorrow, so she didn't have to worry too much.
"Mom, you must find someone to kill that sheep during the Chinese New Year. Don't be reluctant to kill it."
Uh~
Li Xianglan's hand holding the chopsticks paused, her mouth moved, and she was about to speak.
"Er Ni, don't worry, my second aunt will show you her skills the day after tomorrow and let you try her craftsmanship."
"Haha, thank you, second aunt."
Cao Chunyuan frowned slightly, and she suddenly discovered something strange. The last time she told Li Xianglan about killing chickens and sheep during the New Year, Li Xianglan hesitated a little.
At that time, Cao Chunyuan thought that Li Xianglan was not in the solar year. But she had already communicated with Li Xianglan before, and this time it was equivalent to a notice.
Li Xianglan was hesitant to speak, but Cao Fengxia took over.
Could it be that the first day of the Lunar New Year is a special day?
Is it possible that there is a tradition that prohibits killing on January 1st?
"Ernie, hurry up and eat. There's so much chicken left, so hurry up and eat it!" Just when Cao Chunyuan was confused, Cao Shien on the side persuaded her.
"Ah? Oh, okay."
Cao Chunyuan didn't react at first. When she picked up the chopsticks, she remembered that she had almost eaten half of the chicken. If she ate any more, she would eat the whole chicken.
"Dad, mom, second aunt, second uncle, you guys should eat too, I've almost eaten enough!"
"You eat."
"You eat it!"
"We've almost eaten."
"Haha~" Cao Chunyuan smiled awkwardly but politely. This was not the first time she had experienced this kind of happy trouble. She had never acted superior to others just because she had made a great contribution to the family.
However, even if she doesn't do that, other relatives will still consciously regard her as the leader, which she cannot change.
Friday, December 31st.
Today is the last day of 1993. Businessmen are counting how much money they made this year, and corporate employees are busy writing their year-end summaries.
As for Cao Chunyuan, she has been receiving calls from Wang Manni since early in the morning.
The main reason is that Cao Chunyuan's business in Yanjing is so booming. Some time ago, she bought several shops and courtyard houses, and is currently busy renovating them.
At the end of the year, Wang Manni, the great housekeeper, had to report her year's harvest to Cao Chunyuan, the hands-off shopkeeper. The two communicated from morning to noon before ending the call.
Cao Chunyuan threw her cell phone on the table, took a big gulp of the cold tea, and drank it all.
"Everything is going well in Yanjing, and the planting bases in the three villages of Dazhangzi Township are also going well. The only problem now is the Malayan Funan branch in Qinglong City.
That guy Cai Guangyao, on the surface, looks amiable, but I didn't expect him to be such an insidious guy. He actually tricked me in front of Ji Huasen. The key is, even Ji Huasen didn't notice his tricks.
Alas, these old foxes are so cunning, there is still a big gap between me and them!"
Cao Chunyuan couldn't help but shake her head at the thought of being plotted by Cai Guangyao. What made her most angry was that she was cheated and couldn't find fault with the other party.
This disparity in rank made her very uncomfortable.
Alas, forget it, the factory buildings in the city will not be built until the middle of next year. It is too early to say anything about it now.
The Chinese New Year is coming tomorrow. As a 'landlord', I have to visit the research team in the laboratory. There are also people like Director Yan who have helped me before. Even if I don't come, I still have to let my father move around.
As for Song Min'an, after the New Year, I will bring my "big gift" and visit him in person.
The relationship in Yanjing is a bit complicated. The Song family is not an ordinary family. Let's make a phone call and express our feelings. When I return to Yanjing in the future, it would be better to choose a normal day to visit!
After finishing the planning, Cao Chunyuan quietly came to the Dazhangzi transfer warehouse, took out some high-quality fruits from the space, and packaged them in gift boxes stored in Phoenix Space.
After that, some chickens, ducks and geese were taken out, as well as 4 big fat pigs, 2 beef cattle and 2 dairy cows.
Then, I found the driver of the big stick truck fleet, picked up her "New Year's goods", and started the visit.
Her first target is the Dazhangzi Agricultural Research Center.
Dazhangzi Agricultural Research Center.
Huang Weiguo's CY001 high-yield wheat project is progressing very smoothly. Now that the project has reached an advanced stage, Huang Weiguo's ambitions are getting bigger and bigger.
He has already set his sights on next year's agricultural scientific research conference. His vision is much better than that of Cen Shuhong, who is just starting out.
Cen Shuhong could only think of superficial awards such as the "First Prize at the Agricultural Research Conference", but Huang Weiguo had already booked a series of awards.
His goals are the "Yenjing City Science and Technology Award", "Yenjing City Scientific Research Progress Award", "Yenjing Agricultural University Scientific Research Progress Award", "Yenjing Agricultural University Scientific Research Innovation Award" and so on.
When Huang Weiguo heard that Cao Chunyuan was looking for him, he was a little surprised.
After all, Cao Chunyuan has often gone to her own experimental group recently and has never found anyone from the other three scientific research groups. Cao Chunyuan's sudden arrival made Huang Weiguo inevitably think too much.
Huang Weiguo put down the work at hand, tidied his clothes, and said in a deep voice: "Invite Mr. Cao to my office, I will be there soon."
Chapter completed!
