Chapter 301 Return to the Village

Early the next morning, after breakfast at the hotel, Shen Qiuqiu and his family set off back to Qinghe Village.

Jiang Jincheng's company had something to do and couldn't send them off, so he left the car behind last night;

Shen Qiuqiu drove a black SUV and slowly set off on the road.

Grandpa Shen felt sorry for his granddaughter that it was hard to drive, so he turned to Shen Jiashu and said, "Go back and sign up for a class and get your driver's license."

Every boy has a racing dream, and Shen Jiashu is no exception;

When he heard that he was going to learn to drive, he immediately became energetic and said, "Okay, I'll sign up tomorrow."

Shen Qiuqiu said while driving: "There is no rush in this matter. It will be more convenient to practice driving in school when you go to college. If you sign up at home, you have to run back and forth every day, which is too troublesome."

Grandpa Shen doesn’t understand this, but what his granddaughter said is definitely right;

"Okay, then just listen to your sister. You can study for your driver's license after you go to school. You can still work in the fields with me during the holidays."

"Oh..." Shen Jiashu suddenly hesitated again.

They set off at nine o'clock and arrived at Qinghe Village at around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Under the big tree at the end of the village, several old ladies were playing cards;

I saw a black car driving into the village from a distance, so I craned my neck to look;

"Whose car is this?"

"Come to Li Datou's house for dinner..."

"What? Li Datou's farmhouse has no business now. I heard it hasn't been open for two days."

As the car gradually approached, Shen Qiuqiu slowed down;

Grandma Shen lowered the car window and greeted a few old sisters with a smile, "You guys are playing cards."

"I asked who drives such a magnificent car, and it turns out it's Fengxian."

"I heard that your family went to a foreign country to play, and you are coming back. How is foreign country? Is it fun?"

"You must have bought this dress abroad. It's so beautiful."

Grandma Shen lost herself in the praises;

She said to Shen Qiuqiu, "Xiaohua, stop the car and put me down. I'll play with them here for a while and then go back."

Grandpa Shen rolled his eyes;

Shen Qiuqiu stopped the car as she was told, and turned to tell her, "The sun is strong now, please sit in the shade and don't stand in the sun."

The old lady held the car door and slowly got out of the car, not forgetting to bring her tablet;

All the photos taken during this outing are stored on the tablet, and the anti-addiction system for the elderly has also been temporarily disabled.

"Grandma, let's go back first. You should also go home early."

Shen Qiuqiu said hello to her grandma, started the car and left;

From the rearview mirror, you can see Grandma Shen holding a tablet computer and talking happily to a few old sisters;

When several old ladies are together, they like to compare and show off with each other; whose children are filial, whose grandson studies well, whose granddaughter has found a partner...

In these matters, Grandma Shen has always stood at the top of the pyramid and has never lost;

This trip was enough for her to sit at the entrance of the village for three days and three nights.

Grandpa Shen knows his wife's temperament best. He said angrily: "Look, your grandma will never come home until dark tonight."

Shen Qiuqiu smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll call her later during dinner."

When I got home, the yard was also busy;

Everyone had just had lunch and were sitting under the color steel shed to enjoy the cool and eat watermelon.

Hearing the sound of the car engine, Lu Yuqing knew that it was Shen Qiuqiu and the others who were back. He quickly put down the watermelon, took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures, which can be said to be his due diligence.

This time when she went out, Shen Qiuqiu brought gifts for everyone;

It was very cheap to buy makeup and skin care products in the duty-free shop. She bought a lipstick for each of the girls;

Men's gifts are hard to buy, so Shen Qiuqiu chose an electric shaver and bought five of them, one for each person.

In addition, there are some snacks and specialties;

Everyone was very happy to receive the gift and said in unison: "Thank you, boss."

After the greetings, Chen Yueyi took the initiative to report her recent work situation to Shen Qiuqiu;

In general: everything is normal in the company; sales of dried bracken are rising steadily, with rave reviews; and the Sunshine Rose grape project is progressing smoothly.

Shen Qiuqiu felt that it felt good to be the hands-off shopkeeper; just when she was about to continue to be the hands-off shopkeeper and go back to the room to take a nap, Li Datou suddenly came to the door.

Li Datou came in a hurry and sweated all over his forehead;

Shen Qiuqiu thought something big had happened and asked quickly: "Uncle Big Tou, did something happen at the farmhouse?"

Li Datou waved his hand and took a few breaths before saying, "There's nothing going on at the farmhouse. I have something to do with you."

Previously, Shen Qiuqiu brought back some crayfish from Yunchuan and asked Li Datou to try to see if he could make them;

Li Datou was also very concerned and asked his daughter to find a lot of recipes on the Internet for reference. He also bought more than a dozen kinds of peppers, peppercorns and other seasonings to taste and experiment.

The hard work paid off, and after spending more than half a month, Li Datou finally developed the crayfish base;

He modified it based on the recipe online and added his own secret bean paste and hot sauce;

I can’t say it’s exactly the same as the one Shen Qiuqiu bought, but it’s definitely equally matched. Everyone who has tasted it says it’s delicious.

Recently, the business of the farmhouse has become more and more deserted. Li Datou was so worried that he couldn't sleep well, so he was counting on this base to attract customers back;

But he didn't understand marketing and didn't know how to do it, so he could only discuss it with Shen Qiuqiu;

Unfortunately, Shen Qiuqiu went out for a trip. He came several times but couldn't find anyone.

He just heard that Shen Qiuqiu's family was back, so he came over eagerly.

Shen Qiuqiu heard that he had made the crayfish base, and she was a little curious, so she said, "Let me taste it first before talking about it."

"Okay, just wait, I'll do it for you now."

After saying this, Li Datou left in a hurry.

Shen Qiuqiu stood there dumbfounded. Her original intention was to try a dish for dinner, but she didn't expect that she was so impatient;

It was not good to trouble him to run back and forth, so Shen Qiuqiu called Lu Yuqing, and the two girls held umbrellas and walked slowly towards the farm house.

As soon as I walked to the door, I smelled the strong spicy aroma;

Lu Yuqing sniffed hard, "Hmm...it smells so good."

In the kitchen, Li Datou is adding blanched crayfish tails to the fried base;

There are no fresh crayfish for sale in the town, only in the county. The ones sold are also expensive, costing more than 20 yuan per catty, and Li Datou is reluctant to buy them;

Li Meixiang bought some frozen crayfish tails online. The taste is not comparable to fresh crayfish, but the price is cheaper.

Li Jinbao asked Shen Qiuqiu and Lu Yuqing to sit down, and brought them two bottles of iced drinks;

"Sister Xiaohua, Sister Xiao Lu, wait a moment, the super delicious spicy crayfish will be out of the pot soon."

Lu Yuqing smiled and asked, "Is it really that delicious?"

Li Jinbao patted his chest and said very confidently: "The most delicious dish in the universe."

After waiting for a while, Li Datou brought over a plate of red spicy crayfish tails.

Lu Yuqing swallowed unconsciously, "Wow, it looks delicious."

Li Meixiang quickly handed over the chopsticks, "It's delicious too, sister, please try it quickly."

Lu Yuqing couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, pick up a shrimp tail and put it into his mouth. Before he could eat the shrimp meat, he was amazed by the taste of the soup.

Because it has been frozen, the shrimp meat is not that elastic, but the taste of the base is so fragrant that it covers up this shortcoming and can be scored at 90%.

After Shen Qiuqiu tasted it, she also felt that it tasted very good. If it were replaced with fresh crayfish, the taste would be even better.

With such a signature dish, the farmhouse doesn’t have to worry about running out of guests;

However, the supply of fresh crayfish is an issue;

The aquatic products sold by several aquatic products stores in the county are too expensive. If the demand is large, I wonder if we can go for the wholesale price, or skip the middleman and go directly to the farmers to purchase.

"Uncle Big Tou, you prepare the base ingredients first, and I will also prepare them here. We need to find a stable supply of crayfish first, and then we will shoot a small advertisement to promote it. Then we will not worry about no customers."

Shen Qiuqiu gave Li Datou a reassurance.

The big stone in Li Datou's heart finally fell to the ground, "Okay, okay, if you need anything, just ask."
