Although there was nothing unusual about foreign customers, when they entered the farmer's fair and visited his showcase, Li Qingyun couldn't turn a blind eye and walked over to say hello and ask about their needs.
One of them was an old man in his fifties, with loose yellow hair shawl and a very artistic style. He said his name was Fred and he was a gourmet. When he and his colleagues were wandering on the street, they suddenly smelled a very special fragrance.
, so I came here to bother you, hoping to taste it.
Li Qingyun smiled and nodded. He turned out to be a foodie and thought he had a big customer. However, gourmets are wealthy people and are elites in all walks of life. The food they like can often help others promote it. Therefore, some restaurants
Not only will gourmets be invited to taste it for free, but a round-trip air ticket will also be provided.
If we talk about the hot pot made by Li Qingyun, the aroma is indeed special. It uses space live fish and space goat to stew a pot of thick soup. The fish plus sheep is a fresh word, and common Sichuan hot pot ingredients are added, which has the characteristics of spicy and delicious flavor.
.The most important thing is that the aura flavor contained in the soup is not found in other hot pots, so as soon as the aroma comes out, people can feel a special and attractive aroma.
There were several pairs of chopsticks in the hot pot. They were put into small disposable cups and tasted the vegetables and meat slices in the cup with toothpicks. After Fred got Li Qingyun's permission, he observed for a while and found that there was no problem with the hygiene of this hot pot.
I just picked up a few cilantro and two pieces of mutton with my chopsticks.
Li Qingyun didn't expect that this foreigner's skill with chopsticks was no worse than that of the Chinese. It seemed that he was really a good foodie. As soon as an expert stretched out his hand, he would know if it was there. After Fred ate a piece of coriander, he frowned at first. Then he took a deep breath.
He put another piece of mutton into his mouth, mixed it and chewed it, and a smile of supreme enjoyment appeared on his face involuntarily.
Ordinary onlookers took the initiative to make way for these gourmets, allowing the gourmets behind them to have a chance to stand in front of the hot pot. The techniques of using chopsticks among these people were different, but they could barely pick up the vegetables.
One of the young gourmets with brown hair, after eating a few chopsticks of vegetables, shook his head in a pretentious manner and said: "Oh, I feel a bit bad. It smells good. There is nothing when I eat it. Apart from numbness and spicy, there is no other flavor.
.I think our country’s truffles, foie gras, and caviar are the most delicious foods, far more delicious than the hot pot here.”
Fred said dissatisfied: "No, no, Victor. You don't understand Sichuan cuisine. If you are not used to chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns, you'd better eat the Qingshui hot pot. I think Qingshui hot pot will satisfy you."
It was embarrassing to be criticized by another gourmet, saying that he did not understand food. Victor blushed and did not argue directly. He just put down his chopsticks angrily, as if he was afraid of Fred's identity.
Their conversations were all in English, and Li Qingyun could just understand it. He secretly laughed that foreigners were also fighting among themselves, and they could argue over delicious food. But he could also understand that it was like an electrician saying that another electrician didn't understand the principles of circuits. It was simply insulting.
.
Other gourmets also praised Li Qingyun's hot pot, so although Victor was dissatisfied, he was instantly isolated and couldn't say anything more.
When he saw Yang Yunu, his eyes suddenly lit up, he squeezed in front of the display cabinet, extended his hand enthusiastically, and said: "Hello, beautiful girl, my name is Victor, nice to meet you."
What he said was actually Chinese. Although his pronunciation was very weird and non-standard, at least it could be understood by Chinese people.
"Hello, welcome to taste the vegetables grown on our farm. If you have any comments, you can tell us." Yang Yunu smiled and raised the vegetables in his hand, which meant that I was busy at work and it was not convenient to shake hands.
Yang Yunu spoke pure Chinese, and Victor was immediately dumbfounded. It seemed that he only knew those two sentences in Chinese, and the purpose was to seduce girls. He wanted to think of a few more simple Chinese sentences, but saw that Yang Yunu was busy preparing for the hot pot again.
Add new vegetables and don't have time to deal with him anymore.
Li Qingyun immediately lost his affection for this guy. Damn it, didn’t you see the young man standing here? If you dare to hook up with my woman, I will definitely hook up with your woman when I find an opportunity... Oh, no, I will beat him up when I find an opportunity.
Just one meal is enough. Women are amazing, and one is enough. But when he thought of Michelle, whose whereabouts were unknown, Li Qingyun's words suddenly became less justified.
"Okay, very good. Mr. Li, this is the best food I have eaten in China. It tastes great. I never thought that hot pot can also give you the fulfilling feeling of a big meal. Yes, it is nutritious and full."
.The next issue of "Gourmet" magazine will definitely have a review of this hot pot. Oh, I almost forgot, you are not a restaurant owner, but I will still let gourmets around the world know about this hot pot." Fred.
Putting down the disposable cup, he walked behind the display cabinet and had a cordial conversation with Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard about "Gourmet" magazine. Although he doesn't usually read many magazines, he has heard of several famous magazines in the world, such as "Time Magazine", "National Geographic Magazine", "Playboy", etc.
, and "Gourmet" is a professional and authoritative magazine for the food and catering industry.
Although I don't own a restaurant, it would be a good idea to recommend my own vegetables. Anyway, I don't need to pay for advertising. It's great to have door-to-door advertising.
Li Qingyun smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Fred. In fact, the recipe for this hot pot is very ordinary. The reason why it is so delicious is mainly because I use good materials. The hot pot soup is made from the sheep and fish I raise, and the vegetables are from my farm."
The main products here do not need to add too many condiments, and the dishes made are extremely delicious. If you don’t believe it, you can taste the taste of boiled vegetables. The original vegetables can also give you the ultimate taste of food.
.”
"Oh? Then I really have to give it a try." Fred said, walked to the clear water hot pot, and blanched a few vegetables in the boiling water. Whether it was chrysanthemum, spinach, or baby cabbage, in addition to its own fragrance, there was also a light
The aura contained in it is the main source of the special fragrance.
After tasting it, Fred immediately exclaimed: "Oh God, it's so amazing. Just now I thought it was your way of making hot pot, but it turns out the vegetables really taste good. Mr. Li, where is your farm? I want it
Go and visit. If the original vegetables are so delicious, I wouldn’t mind recommending your green vegetables to several big restaurants in the United States. Of course, I will also order some myself to entertain guests at parties.”
Li Qingyun immediately said: "Of course there is no problem in visiting my small farm. It's just that I have to attend the farmers' trade fair for three days. If you really want to visit, we can schedule it in three days. Then you can call the number on my business card.
, I will entertain you with real local specialties on the farm."
"Thank you, let's make an agreement. I'll call you in three days." Fred was very excited. After shaking hands with Li Qingyun, he put his business card into the wallet in his pocket.
The peak flow of people in the morning subsided with the departure of several foreigners. After lunch, Li Qingyun was chatting with Yang Yunu. Wang Chao came over with a few friends. He said they were here to help him support the show. What to say
It's good for this group of people to go to nightclubs and disco bars. They all dress up very glamorously, but when they come to the farmer's trade fair, they feel a little out of place.
They thought Li Qingyun was here to sell vegetables. They were all very interesting and said that they could buy several hundred kilograms for their family to eat. Li Qingyun had no choice but to explain slowly, saying that there was no need to worry about selling the vegetables, and that participating in the farmers' trade fair this time was just for promotion.
If you guys want to eat, you can go to Lijiazhai and pick as much as you want without having to help here.
Wang Chao finally understood that he had brought his friends here not to make things happen, but to cause trouble. So he was leaving soon. He didn't want to delay Li Qingyun's business. Before leaving, he mysteriously told Li Qingyun that his grandpa knew about his gambling.
He also knew that he had a huge jade stone in his hand, and wanted to come over and take a look, because there has been an inexplicable shortage of jade in the market recently. Several of their stores in Xiangjiang are all out of stock. If there is no more
Suitable jadeite should be purchased from peers at a high price.
Judging from Wang Chao's proud expression, it seemed that he had been praised by his elders, otherwise he would not be so excited. He also said that if Li Qingyun was free, he would like to invite Li Qingyun to witness the decomposition process of the giant jade stone, because that piece
The original stone was solemnly recommended to him by Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun smiled and said just look at the time. If he is free, he wouldn't mind taking a look. Let's compare the difference between using the spirit body to detect the original jade stone and the actual cut.
When there were fewer people, Li Qingyun took the time to call the workers on the farm and asked them to prepare some more vegetables, find a small truck, and deliver them to the provincial capital overnight so as not to delay tomorrow's farmers' trade meeting. Ordinary customers were too enthusiastic.
No one bargains for the price of 10 yuan per catty. It seems that everyone thinks that vegetables with this taste are worth 10 yuan per catty.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, when the farmers' trade fair was almost cleared, Li Qingyun suddenly saw an old man in Tang suit standing in front of the display cabinet. Li Qingyun didn't notice how the old man appeared. After taking a closer look, he found that the old man was restrained.
With his chest held high and his back straight, he has a special aura. He has a long gray beard on his mouth, and his whole person looks like a fairy.
Behind the old man were two young followers. They were tall and slender, with strong energy and blood, and the characteristics of practicing kung fu were very obvious.
Yang Yunu glanced at the two followers, and finally stopped at the old man. From this inconspicuous old man, she felt a hint of the artistic conception of a strong man, and also felt a hint of threat. This shows that within three meters, this person
The old man had the strength to hurt her.
The old man's eyes were originally focused on the hot pot, but he suddenly felt Yang Yunu's alertness and was slightly shocked. Apparently he didn't expect that there was also a skilled practitioner here who could see through his own kung fu.
"Girl, did you make this hot pot? It smells very fragrant and has a familiar aroma. When I passed the gate, I casually wanted to come in and have a look." The old man's accent had a strong Sichuan flavor.
, no matter where you live, your local accent remains unchanged.
"My boyfriend did it." Yang Yunu pointed at Li Qingyun behind him. Seeing that Li Qingyun had already walked over, he took the initiative to step back and stand next to the man, letting him take charge.
Li Qingyun smiled and said: "The old man is an expert. He can smell the aroma of hot pot even though he is so far away. This was made in the morning. The soup has been simmering for most of the day. Even if I use public chopsticks to operate it, it is not very good. If the old man likes this
To taste, you can take some vegetables and cook them yourself, take the remaining plate of mutton with you, and just add some spicy ingredients to achieve this taste."
When dealing with such a skilled man, Li Qingyun doesn't want to cause trouble, so it's best to have a good relationship. In terms of force, Li Qingyun is not afraid of anyone, but he doesn't want to bring potential danger to his family and friends.
The old man cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Haha, thank you for this generous little brother. I'm just curious as to why the taste of your hot pot reminds me of a kind of tea I drank before. Two unrelated things, but the taste is surprising.
Similar. I have been abroad for so many years, but I didn’t expect that as soon as I returned home, I would smell the smell of longing for it, so I wanted to ask what happened.” (To be continued...)
