Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1912: Calling Foreigners
"Elbow, here!" Wu Renzhong was leaning on Zhou Zhi's Land Rover Warrior under the airport terminal, holding a bitten apple in his hand, and waving at the two people under the plane.

"Over there, my partner in the village." Zhou Zhi said to Mai Xiaomiao, "He's also a very interesting person."

The two walked to Wu Renzhong, and Zhou Zhi said, "It's a little late, I hope you didn't wait too long..."

Then a girl jumped out from the back of the car and yelled, "Wow!"

It turned out to be Wu Renzhong’s girlfriend Shama Ricong, who wanted to scare Zhou Zhi.

As a result, Zhou Zhi was not frightened, but Mai Xiaomiao was frightened. Shama Ricong did not expect that there was a girl with Zhou Zhi, and quickly apologized: "Oh, sorry, I didn't expect that Elbow would bring someone with him. I'm sorry."

“It’s okay.” Mai Xiaomiao covered his chest and smiled, “I’ve been scared many times along the way anyway.”

"Let's go to the People's Canteen to calm down." Zhou Zhi looked at the apple in Wu Renzhong's hand and asked, "Are the apples in Yanyuan ripe?"

"It's ready." Wu Renzhong carefully picked out two boxes from the trunk and handed them to Mai Xiaomiao and Zhou Zhi: "These are welfare benefits from Shama School. I moved a box to the car."

Zhou Zhi introduced Mai Xiaomiao: "This is Wu Renzhong, and this is his fiancée Shama Ricong. Shama is also a teacher at Zhou No. 1 Middle School, teaching English."

"Although she is younger than everyone else, she is a consulting scholar of our Clover Group, an expert in cutting-edge information technology, and a senior researcher in cellular neural networks."

"She's so powerful?" Wu Renzhong thought she was just a little sister that Zhou Zhi brought to the autonomous prefecture to play, but it turned out that the high-tech skills she possessed made him feel overwhelmed.

"By the way, Xiao Miao grew up in the United States, so he can sometimes speak English words." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "But he is one of the best foreigners in Mandarin."

"Oh, a foreign guest!" Wu Renzhong really admired Zhou Zhi: "How did Elbow trick you into coming to our little place?"

"I asked to come here on my own initiative." Mai Xiaomiao felt a little embarrassed: "Thank you for troubling everyone."

"What's the trouble? Get in the car first and we'll go eat." Wu Renzhong said, "I'm just worried that you won't be used to it by then."

As he said this, he went to pick up Mai Xiaomiao's box and put it in the car, but he almost couldn't lift it: "Xiao Miao, your box is really heavy."

"Just kidding, they're all books." Zhou Zhi secretly teased Mai Xiaomiao.

Wu Renzhong didn't understand what was going on, and he immediately stood in awe: "Experts are different. Wherever they go, they have a lot of books and materials."

Mai Xiaomiao had been holding Zhou Zhi's arm, and now she secretly pinched him as a revenge.

"Xiao Miao, other conditions in the autonomous prefecture may be worse, but the fruits are top-notch." Zhou Zhi said as he broke open an apple for Mai Xiaomiao to reveal the flesh inside: "Other apples have uniform flesh, but Yanyuan apples have some slightly transparent small areas of different colors. This is caused by excessive accumulation of sugar. Therefore, Yanyuan apples are much sweeter than apples from other places. You can try it."

Mai Xiaomiao took the apple and took a bite. A fresh fruity aroma and rich sweet juice filled his mouth. Compared with this apple, all the apples he had eaten before suddenly pale in comparison.

"It's really delicious! So sweet!" "This is the advantage of the place of production." Wu Renzhong took the steering wheel and started the car: "Apples this ripe will go bad very quickly if shipped out, so no matter where the fruits are exported, they are generally not ripe enough. What people eat is not truly ripe fruit, so the taste is naturally much worse."

"The state does have cold chain transportation now, but it is used to transport high-value agricultural products such as matsutake and truffles. It is not luxurious enough to transport apples."

"Renzhong, you really reminded me." Zhou Zhi said, "Now that the mushroom season has passed, the cold chain line is idle anyway. We can use it to transport apples and navel oranges in the state. However, the quality must be the highest, and the packaging must all be transformed into cold chain packaging. We can try places with strong consumption power such as Beijing, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Hong Kong Island. I will also send some to Jin Chunyi and Matsui Zao to try."

"Then how much would these apples and navel oranges cost?" Shama Ricong felt that this was too extravagant.

"Let's give it a try anyway." Zhou Zhi said, "The wool comes from the sheep, we just spread the cost into the sales price, what if people still think it's acceptable?"

"Perhaps we can establish a high-end fruit brand in our autonomous prefecture, sell good fruit, and ensure that workers on the cold chain transportation line continue to receive wages in winter," Zhou Zhi said. "As long as it is possible, I think we should give it a try. Anyway, the profit from selling matsutake and truffles this year is quite considerable, and the group branch has the ability to make mistakes."

"You should go work for the Autonomous Prefecture Policy Research Office." Wu Renzhong said with a smile, "Brother, it's a pity to leave your brain in Lianhe Township."

"Lianhe Township is incredible," Shama Ricong said, "Two national-level scientific research bases are clustered together. There is no other place in the autonomous prefecture that has such a thing, right?"

"Let alone autonomous prefectures, there aren't many in other cities." Wu Renxin was still a little proud. He saw Mai Xiaomiao chewing an apple in the rearview mirror and said, "Maybe there will be more..."

I fell in love with the People's Canteen in Zhouzhi after visiting it once. The dishes here are mainly affordable for the general public, but the ingredients and cooking techniques are really good.

It is also very unique, especially the way beef and mutton are prepared. Many dishes are not available in other places outside the autonomous prefecture.

For example, stir-fried beef liver, stir-fried yellow throat, steamed lamb with rice flour, braised beef with soybeans, stir-fried beef intestines, and the classic grilled small intestines.

Because there were two girls there, Zhou Zhi also ordered a dish of chicken stewed with angelica.

This is the authentic place for the medicinal herb Angelica sinensis. How authentic is it? It is so authentic that it is piled up in the Binhe Road vegetable market and sold as vegetables at the price of radishes.

Therefore, the angelica in this angelica stewed chicken is fresh, and the taste is sweeter than that of the dry angelica stewed chicken. The quantity is also larger than that of the dry angelica stewed chicken. Both the soup and the angelica are delicious.

"Xiao Miao doesn't mind liver, intestines, and yellow throat at all, huh?" Wu Renzhong was also happy to see Mai Xiaomiao eating happily: "I heard that many foreigners don't eat these?"

"That's their misfortune." Mai Xiaomiao must have read a lot of "Interesting Stories about Sichuan Flavor" recently: "Turning decay into magic, isn't that what they say?"

After getting Zhou Zhi's approval, Mai Xiaomiao continued, "Elbow said that Sichuan cuisine is good at turning decay into magic. No matter what the ingredients are, they can be cooked into delicious food."

After saying that, he pointed at the fried yellow throat with chopsticks and said, "For example, this dish actually uses the large blood vessels of the cow, mainly the smooth muscle part. From a nutritional point of view, it is still protein and collagen fiber. Foreigners don't eat it because they can't make such delicious dishes."

"The French don't eat foie gras or snails. So the key is whether you can cook it. If you cook it well, foreigners won't be picky about the ingredients."

Wu Renzhong and Shama Ricong couldn't help but look at each other. This foreigner kept calling him "laowai" and he said it quite fluently, didn't he?
