The sour smell emanating from Zhang Yanping almost filled the entire kitchen, and along with his resentment, Lu Chuan's first pot of test product failed.
The seventh cousin is also very interested in desserts. He is standing next to him and pointing: "After the wormwood juice is mixed with the noodles, it won't work well when it comes out of the oven... The bitter taste is too strong."
"Hmm." Lu Chuan also stared at the failed light olive green puff crisp shell and shook his head: "The color doesn't look good, and Qiao Qiao will definitely not like it. I'll make it another one."
Only Zhang Yanping was happy: "Oh! Why did the dessert fail? What a pity! Otherwise, you can help carry the bamboo shoots, and we can drink milk tea."
Humph, I call you partial!
Lu Chuan, however, remained calm: "It doesn't matter. There will be a failure rate when trying out new products. By the way, I bought two sets of B&B management systems. Brother Yanping, if you have such leisure time, why don't I return one set?"
.”
“It’s not difficult to manage manually.”
For their small B&B, the price of customizing the management system on demand is very cheap, but no matter how cheap it is, it is not something that the two brothers who were so poor before can afford it.
So Zhang Yanping hurriedly knelt down and said, "What are you talking about, Master! I'm afraid you don't have enough materials. What else do you need? I'll prepare it right away!"
The seventh cousin burst out laughing: "Tsk! Zhang Yanping, you are such a tall and strong man for nothing."
It looks majestic and majestic, but it’s hard to mess with it. Who would have thought it was an embroidered pillow?
Zhang Yanping was able to bend and stretch: "Seventh cousin, you don't understand, we contemporary young people are very aware of current affairs."
While they were chatting and joking, Lu Chuan remembered the new product again, so he asked: "I remember that in Yanran's experimental field on the mountain, the strawberries should be a little ripe. If you are free, can you get me a small basket?"
He walks to the mountains every day and can see scattered red fruits exposed in the fenced strawberry fields. Not to mention that Yan Ran and others are so excited that they post tracking records in WeChat Moments every day...
I specially picked 10 of them the day before yesterday for everyone to taste - I'm not stingy, but it's not the season yet and not many are ripe.
It was quite a big piece of land, and I only picked a few of them after turning over it.
It's been a few days, maybe more, right?
Zhang Yanping's eyes widened. It looked like he was not going to pick strawberries, but a gang fight: "You know how precious they are to their own strawberries, right?"
Just like how Tian Tian and others managed the transplanted strawberries scientifically, each strawberry was numbered! Now there is a small basket in the mouth. Yan Ran and the others will definitely not refuse, but he, Zhang Yanping, is afraid that he will be nagged about for a day!
Lu Chuan was helpless: "There are no fruits at home now. I'm going to be a snow girl. The combination of strawberries and cream will taste better...especially the quality of the strawberries they grow is not bad - I still have Erliang Chen tea there, which is troublesome."
Can you help me and ask them if they want to change it?"
I bought the tea from Song Tan last year, but I didn't drink it all. Now if I want to take advantage of others, I have to pay the price.
Zhang Yanping straightened his chest instantly: "You should have told me if you had tea! Don't worry, it's all right."
He went out coolly, found a big basket in the yard and went up the mountain!
After all, although strawberries are good, they are not as good as tea!
Zhang Yanping was right!
When he handed out the huge basket in front of him, Yan Ran's eyes seemed to burst out with fire:
"No, no! If you want to eat, I'll pick 10 for you, no more!"
"I waited like a child to keep this strawberry until it came to fruition. It was not easy. I had to make dessert instead!"
This kind of strawberry grown in the open air, which ripens in season, tastes more delicious than greenhouse strawberries. In addition, it uses seedlings cultivated by Song Tan. They have tasted the first batch of mature ones, but they don’t know the taste.
How wonderful!
Although it is slightly inferior to the one grown by Song Tan last winter, it can be said to be the best in today’s strawberry market!
The first batch of this kind of good stuff will be sent out for testing. Next, the seeds will be saved in batches. Then, vines will be used to propagate and germinate the seeds at Tian Tian’s house further away. They will observe for another 3 to 5 years to see if they are far away from the old age.
After the Song family's feng shui treasure land, are their traits and advantages stable...
Anyway!
They can get a stable graduate degree by relying on these, but whether they will get a master's or a doctorate in three to five years depends on these!
Zhang Yanping smiled proudly and stretched out two fingers.
Yan Ran: "..."
After a moment, she hesitated and answered: "Yeah!"
"Yeah, no. Don't try to pretend to be cute. It's really inappropriate for you to look like this."
Zhang Yanping was furious: "I'm discussing business with you, how can you attack my appearance?! I'm asking you if I can exchange two taels of tea for you!"
Are you really angry? Not only do you have no status in the Old Song family, but you also have no status in front of these external personnel?!
But Yan Ran blinked and smiled like a mountain flower: "Look, Manager Zhang, you are really growing strawberries for everyone to taste, why are you so polite? It's really two taels of tea? It's from Boss Song's house, right?
?”
Zhang Yanping sneered, seeing through this hypocritical world, contemporary young people are too aware of current affairs.
But thinking that Lu Chuan was still waiting at the foot of the mountain, he said "hmm": "It's our tea, but it's last year's old tea. Two taels for a basket. If you're willing to trade, please help pick it."
Ouch!
What is old tea? The law does not stipulate that green tea cannot be placed in the second year! In short, Yan Ran quickly summoned two classmates:
"Two taels of tea leaves are exchanged for a basket of strawberries. The average of the three of us is 33 grams each. The extra 1 gram belongs to me - after all, I am the first to negotiate business!"
"How's it going? Is it okay? If it's okay, hurry up and pick it!"
Good guy!
Qi Lin and Tang Xiaodong immediately closed their notebooks - "Here you go!"
Although strawberries are very precious, they have a whole field, and there is a steady stream of ripe ones. And with the current value of tea, they are reluctant to buy it based on their wages. If they want to own it, they can only wait until the festival to get a little bit more.
All in all, this business is not a loss!
It’s the extra gram, oh, it’s so heartbreaking! Doesn’t Yan Ran know how to negotiate the price? She should ask for two more grams.
At the bottom of the mountain, Lu Chuan had stirred the dark green mugwort juice into the low-gluten flour and glutinous rice flour, and then carefully weighed the corn starch, milk, and sugar...
After the dough was mixed evenly, the color turned into a beautiful light green. The seventh cousin came over to look at it, and then nodded:
"Yes, it looks much better than the pasty shell just now - this one needs to be steamed, right?"
"Yes," Lu Chuan nodded: "After steaming, you have to rub the butter in, so that it will taste smooth and sweet, and the special bitter taste of mugwort will be less irritating."
However, after the steamer was set up, Zhang Yanping, who went to pick strawberries, had not returned yet.
Lu Chuan couldn't help but wonder: "Just a small basket, twenty or thirty pieces is enough, haven't you finished picking them yet?"
