Leisurely monastic life

Chapter 454
Chickens and ducks are very nest-loving animals. If they are driven to a shack in a barren mountain, they may have to run back directly at night.Therefore, they have to be put in a new den for a day or two, leaving a smell in the new den, and they can recognize the new den as their den, so that they can stay in the new den honestly.

Luo Tianwang didn't know this, and neither did Li Shishi.But it is impossible for Luo Baolin and Xiao Chunxiu not to know.

It was very easy to drive the chickens and ducks over there. Luo Tianwang filled a basin with some rice soaked in water from the wooden magic talisman, sprinkled it while walking in front, and the chickens and ducks followed in a swarm.The chicks rushed fast and without discipline, rushing to Luo Tianwang's side in a swarm, scrambling for the food Luo Tianwang scattered on the ground.Ducks run a long way, but no matter how much they scramble, they always huddle together.

Luo Baolin is very curious about these chickens and ducks raised at home.I have been a farmer for so many years, but I have never raised so many chickens and ducks, and none of them died young.Of course, Luo Baolin knew that all this was because of his grandson.

These chickens and ducks grow really fast, and their temperament is also very wild. In the future, when the rice is ripe, I'm afraid it will harm these rice.

It only took Luo Tianwang a few minutes to arrive at the barren mountain with a large group of chickens and ducks. The door of the chicken coop was open.Luo Tianwang led the chickens and ducks to the new nest, and quickly closed the door. The windows are very bright, and the light in the chicken coop is very good.But the chickens and ducks didn't care about their new residence, they were only interested in the food in Luo Tianwang's hands.

Luo Tianwang put the pot on the ground, but instead of gaining the upper hand, the group of crazy chickens were pushed aside by the ducks who were in harmony.It was useless for the chicks to be anxious, the ducklings huddled together in solidarity, surrounded the pot, and worked together to drive out the chicks that flew in.

Fortunately, Luo Baolin came over again with a bucket of food, and yelled: Heck, heck, heck...

The chicks immediately gave up trying to compete with the ducks.

Li Shishi looked at it dumbfounded: "Usually I thought these ducks were honest, but I didn't expect that these chicks are no match for real guns."

"Who made them inconsistent? Look at this group of ducks. They are organized and disciplined, and they have a leader. The chicks are disorganized and have no leader. They are scattered. Where is the duckling's opponent?" Luo Tianwang Said.

"Why doesn't the chick choose a leader?" Li Shishi asked.

"The chickens are all rebellious now, and there is no strong rooster king yet. Don't worry, the roosters among these chickens will start fighting for the throne in a short time. There will be a leader at that time." Luo Tianwang said.

Among the chickens in a family, as long as there is a rooster, the most majestic one will be the leader.Every chicken in a village may have a leading rooster.The first crow in the morning in the village is the right of the king rooster. If he doesn't open his throat in the morning, other roosters dare not crow.It's just that now the chickens in the village are fed in closed doors, and the chickens and ducks in a village rarely mix together, so it's more chaotic.

But after Luo Tianwang fed such a large group of chickens and ducks, he would definitely form a leader.Ducklings are inherently gregarious.Luo Tianwang has long seen that there is already a duck in the duck flock that is stronger and taller than the others, and it walks at the head of the duck flock every day.It seems that he has become the leader of the ducks.

As for chickens, the roosters are immature. Although they fight every day, they are still in the period of chaos in the Warring States period.

"Tianwang, grandpa said that there are a lot of weasels in the village now. We put chickens and ducks in this barren hill, are we really not worried about weasels? We can keep weasels from entering this barren hill, but can we keep chickens and ducks from this barren hill? Although there is a fence around them, they can't stop these chickens. They are too tough, and they have never encountered any danger. They are not afraid of anything. If they encounter a weasel, they might not know how to run away." Li Shishi said with some worry .

Li Shishi has been in the village for a long time, and she has a very good understanding of the habits of these chickens and ducklings.

"Look. These chickens are not so easy to be caught by weasels. If they are caught by weasels, they should be eliminated. Put them in the house for a few days. Let them out after they get used to it. "After Luo Tianwang fed the chickens and ducks, he closed the door of the chicken coop.

Although the window glass is open, there is still a layer of steel mesh.It can be ventilated, but chickens and ducks cannot fly out.

Back home, Luo Tianwang found that there was an extra car in the yard, and Luo Tianwang immediately recognized that the car belonged to Xu Maomin.

Luo Tianwang naturally knew Xu Maomin's intention for coming here.

As soon as he walked into the house, he saw Xu Maomin sitting in the main room, talking about the house with Luo Baolin.

"This villa is really magnificent. When the house is finished, it will definitely be the most luxurious house in this town." Xu Maomin said.

"What's so luxurious? It's enough to be able to shelter from the wind and rain." Luo Baolin had a proud smile on his face.Being praised so much by others, Luo Baolin still feels very useful.

"Uncle Xu, you're here."

Luo Tianwang and Li Shishi entered the room, and quickly greeted Xu Maomin.

"Tianwang, Shishi. I heard that you have raised a lot of chickens and ducks. Are you going to start a chicken farm?" Xu Maomin greeted Luo Tianwang and Li Shishi with a smile.

"Raising these chickens and ducks is completely arbitrary. When I came back from buying a car that day, I saw a man carrying a load of chickens and ducks back in the town. I bought it after thinking about it. Anyway, I have dozens of acres of barren hills here. Chickens and ducks are not a problem. I didn't think about opening a chicken farm." Luo Tianwang said.

"Tianwang, I came here to get some loach from you. I want to share some of the high-end ingredients you get here in the future. Don't worry. I can buy them at the retail price of Ruyi Farm. The restaurant business is not good now. Do. The competition is too fierce. At least half of the catering industry in Xilin has been closed in recent years. Now that the management is strict, the leaders dare not come out to eat and drink. Basically all the restaurants that rely on the leaders to sign orders have closed. My business is also less More than half of it. And they are all those with relatively high profits. Now the rest are social entertainments paid out of their own pockets. The profits are very low, and it is almost enough to maintain the operation of the hotel. But in Xilin, many restaurants are still doing well. These The storefronts are mainly because of their uniqueness. I also want to make Maomin Hotel unique." Xu Maomin wants to provide unique high-end restaurants.No matter how the limelight turns, there is always a market for high-end catering.

Some private kitchens for high-end dining are hidden in small alleys, and foodies can always find them.High profits and no competition.The main reason is that they have their own characteristics, exclusive signature dishes, and special sources of ingredients.

Xu Maomin also wants to engage in high-end dining like others.He does have one or two signature dishes, but good ingredients are not so easy to obtain.Xu Maomin got loach from Luo Tianwang back then, and the Han Palace Zangjiao he made was simply a masterpiece in Xilin.Hangong Zangjiao is actually loach drilled tofu.Tofu is just ordinary white tofu, and the ingredients are also very particular, but the most important thing is loach.Now Maomin Hotel still has the signature dish of Han Gong Cangjiao, and the loach used is also the wild loach that Xu Maomin managed to get.But the taste of the loach made here is completely different from Luo Tianwang's.Many old customers of Maomin Hotel still recall the taste of this dish back then.

"The supply is not a big problem, but this year I just started stocking the rice fields. Most of the loaches in the pond have been used for seedlings. There are not many loaches left in the pond. It must not be able to supply in large quantities. "Luo Tianwang said.

"It's okay. As long as I can supply some. Even if I only cook one Han Gong Zangjiao every day, it will play a big role. It is difficult to do business now. Without a good signature dish, it is impossible to attract customers. If I can supply one dish every day If you have two catties of loach, you can have a few signature dishes in one meal, and you can attract many customers." Xu Maomin said.

"I can't supply too much loach for the time being, but I can supply some fish. I contracted the pond in the village before and stocked some fish there. In a month or two, we should be able to supply it," Luo Tianwang said.

Luo Tianwang didn't take much care of the fish pond in the barren mountain, and put some fish in it.When Luo Tianwang went to look at it these days, he found that the fish inside were already in groups.He is not small.It grows pretty fast.

"Great. Can we supply all of our Maomin Hotel by then?" Xu Maomin said pleasantly.

"Uncle Xu, when the supply is really available, you may not be able to eat it. The area of ​​my pond is not small, and in my dozens of acres of rice fields, not only loaches are stocked, but some miscellaneous fish are also planned to be stocked. If it becomes In terms of scale, your restaurant may not be able to sell." Luo Tianwang laughed.

"If you buy it all at once, Maoming Restaurant will definitely not be able to eat it. But if you supply it in batches, it shouldn't be a big problem. Xilin's spending power is still very good. As long as it has special features, the business will not be bad." Xu Maomin said excitedly.

"That's fine. In the future, I will try my best to supply in batches. You can just send someone over to pick up the goods on a regular basis." Luo Tianwang said.

"I'll come over in person." Xu Maomin said quickly.He didn't dare to let others know about such an important source of goods.

Luo Tianwang fished out more than a dozen catties of loach from the pond at one time and gave them to Xu Maomin.Luo Tianwang didn't think highly of the money of these dozens of catties of loach. Now the price of loach is getting more and more expensive. Wild loach is 51 catties, and it may not be possible to buy it.Xu Maomin directly gave two hundred and one catties of Luo Tianwang's loach.More than ten catties of loach cost more than 3000 yuan.For today's Luo Tianwang, the 3000 yuan is not worth mentioning.But Luo Tianwang was willing to supply Xu Maomin because Xu Maomin gave Luo Tianwang a fair price under the circumstances.It helped Luo Tianwang a lot.Now that Xu Maomin is in trouble, Luo Tianwang is willing to help Xu Maomin.Xu Maomin is also a very good person, and the price he gave was a sky-high price in the market.

Luo Baolin was also very enthusiastic about Xu Maomin. He killed a chicken and cooked a few dishes.Now that there is a refrigerator at home, there are always some ingredients in the refrigerator.There is never a shortage of vegetables and the like in the countryside.They are all green foods that never use medicine.Then take out the homemade rice wine, this meal is indeed very rich.

"This wine is not bad. Homemade rice wine? It feels different from the rice wine I've had before." Xu Maomin took a sip and immediately felt that the rice wine was different.Unlike ordinary rice wine with a hint of bitterness, this wine tastes sweet.The entrance is extremely soft, and the fragrance is very strong.But it can be seen that this wine is rice wine, because the wine is turbid, and there are many impurities in the wine brewed by your simple process.

"That's right. It's homemade rice wine. It hasn't been kept for too long. I've finished drinking all the wine I made before." Luo Tianwang nodded.

"Can this wine serve our hotel?" Xu Maomin asked.

"This wine is brewed using local methods. Serving it will kill me. Forget it. Uncle Xu, if you want to drink, you can come to my house. When the time comes, I will give you a jar." Luo Tianwang did not agree.The local method of brewing wine is cumbersome, and it is okay to drink by yourself, but it is unnecessary to sell it.

Xu Maomin felt a little regretful, but he didn't show it: "Then I'd like to thank you. This wine tastes much better than those other famous wines. And drinking rice wine won't hurt your body."

"Drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health." Luo Tianwang laughed.

"That's true." Xu Maomin nodded.

Xu Maomin rushed to Xilin overnight with more than a dozen catties of loach bought from Luo Tianwang's house.Because he had to go on a journey, at Luo Tianwang's house, he only tasted the rice wine, but didn't drink much.When he arrived in town, Xu Maomin asked his family to drive.

The next day, the Maomin Hotel put up a signboard, which read: The secret Hangong Zangjiao is only available in limited quantities, and each meal serves three servings.

Chang Xiangming is a regular customer of Maomin Hotel and has a good relationship with Xu Maomin.When I came to the Maomin Hotel, I saw the content on the signboard, and immediately went to Xu Maomin: "The secret Han Palace Zangjiao is released again?"

"That's right. I finally got the ingredients. The quantity is not large, and each meal serves three servings. The ingredients are really rare." Xu Maomin said.

"Three copies? This is too little." Chang Xiangming frowned.

"It's a lot. If it's a one-time supply, my signature dish will be empty again. It's hard to do business. It can only be supplied in limited quantities." Xu Maomin said apologetically.

"That's right. Give me one." Chang Xiangming is a smart man, so he naturally understands Xu Maomin's purpose of limiting supply.

"Waiter. This secret Han Gong Zangjiao is your signature dish? It's quite expensive. What kind of dish is it? No matter, give me one." A new customer looked at the newly added dish in the menu. A dish said.

"This Hangong Zangjiao is loach drilled tofu. But the loach used in this secret Hangong Zangjiao is different from the general Hangong Zangjiao. The taste is naturally different. In addition, coupled with our chef's craftsmanship, this The taste is naturally so good." The waiter Qi Biling patiently explained to the customer.
