Back to 1980: Please Love Me Again

Chapter 4
When we arrived at Pingyang County, it was about 07:30 in the morning.

The geographical location of Shanqian Village is not bad. It only takes more than an hour to walk to Pingyang County, and it is only an hour's drive from Pingyang County to Quancheng City, the provincial capital.

Even so, Zhao Wenmu still walked very painfully, and the wound on the sole of his foot was really serious. When he arrived in the city, the wound opened again, and blood oozes from the shoe.

Zhao Wenmu had no choice but to hold on.

He came to the family area of ​​the sugar factory workers in the southeast of the county.

Pingyang County Sugar Factory has a large scale and is a key enterprise in Qilu Province.

There are more than 400 regular employees in the sugar factory, and of course there is no such thing as temporary workers.

In this era, the sugar factory is very profitable, and the wages of workers can be more than 30 yuan, which is one of the best in the entire Pingyang County.

There are at least 2000 people living in the entire family area, and the spending power is still very good.

Moreover, there is still a distance from the main city, and there are fewer idlers, so the public security is relatively better.

There will be no gangsters coming to disturb, and there is no need to worry about the police arresting people.

After all, the reform and opening up has just begun, and people are generally conservative in their thinking. Not everyone can accept the new thing of the individual economy.

Fortunately, the workers in the city are more knowledgeable, and setting up a stall here will not be turned away by the enthusiastic masses to the Public Security Bureau.

Zhao Wenmu spread a layer of corn bracts on the ground, and arranged wild vegetables by category.

Soon, several elder sisters who went out to buy vegetables passed by here.

Zhao Wenmu hurriedly shouted:

"Fresh wild vegetables! Fresh wild vegetables picked this morning!"

An older sister used to live in the countryside in her early years, and she misses the wild vegetables in the village during this season the most. However, she usually goes to work and takes care of her children, and has no time to go to the countryside to dig, so she looked over after hearing this:
"Young man, how much is this bitter vegetable?"

"one cent!"

It's the beginning of spring, everyone has eaten cabbage and radishes all winter, and they have long wanted to change their tastes.

However, fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, eggplants and other vegetables will not come down for more than a month.

Fresh and delicious wild vegetables are indeed rare.

And this price is not expensive, after all, a catty of cabbage costs three cents!
"Not bad, is this dish fresh?"

The other elder sister was also very interested and interrupted to ask.

Zhao Wenmu raised his left foot and said with a painful expression:
"Sister, I just went to the mountain to dig it this morning. You see, my foot is injured and I haven't had time to deal with it yet!"

The middle-aged elder sister looked at the blood on Zhao Wenmu's shoes, her face was very moved.

"It's not easy being a farmer. Young man, you are seriously injured. Go to the hospital to see him soon."

"Just give me a catty of shepherd's purse!"

Zhao Wenmu weighed the shepherd's purse, weighed it high, tied it with a corn bract rope and handed it to the eldest sister, saying:

"This shepherd's purse is the freshest. It's best to buy some pork dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse. The cold shepherd's purse is also delicious."

The eldest sister asked him to explain in detail, and he explained how to process the shepherd's purse and prepare the sauce loudly and in detail.

He is really professional.

After being kicked out of his home in his previous life, he first worked as an apprentice in a state-owned restaurant in the county for a year. He worked hard to learn cooking skills, and then left Pingyang County to travel to the provincial and capital cities alone. A commercial group with considerable achievements in the fields of real estate, pharmaceuticals, and pharmaceuticals.

Before the eldest sister paid and left, more people surrounded her.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Wenmu loudly explained how to eat bitter vegetables. He also emphasized:
"Bitter vegetables are full of treasures. They can clear away heat and purify fire, reduce three highs, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis. If you have a cold, you can eat more bitter vegetables!"

In any age, health preservation is a never-ending topic.

Sure enough, everyone was moved when they heard the words:

"Give me a catty!"

"Give me a catty too!"

……

Bitter vegetables sold out quickly.

"Huihuicai is rich in calcium, which can promote bone growth. Children can eat some. It can also clear away heat and detoxify, and help lose weight!"

Children and weight loss are the real trump card to deal with middle-aged elder sisters!

Hearing Zhao Wenmu's words, the only dozen or so catties of Hui Hui Cai were almost all scrambled for.

All the wild vegetables were sold out within ten minutes, and Zhao Wenmu never thought that the wild vegetables that can be seen everywhere in the mountains are so popular.

More people did not buy wild vegetables, so they confirmed with him again and again before leaving:
"Young man, are you still coming tomorrow?"

"Eldest sister, don't worry! I will come here at 07:30 tomorrow morning."

"Is there any Hui Hui Cai?"

"Do you have any bitter vegetables?"

……

"All of them, bitter cabbage, gray cabbage, and shepherd's purse are still available tomorrow!"

Zhao Wenmu spoke loudly so that more people could hear his voice.At the same time, I was thinking in my heart that I had to dig more wild vegetables today.

I'm afraid it's not enough to rely on myself alone.

He put away the scales, finished eating the sweet potatoes, picked up the basket, and was about to leave with a limp.

A middle-aged man with a kind face and a little fat stood in front of him.

"Young man, can you send me a batch of wild vegetables tomorrow?"

Zhao Wenmu took a closer look, and it turned out to be Li Guofu!

His eye sockets were suddenly moist.

After he was kicked out of the house in the previous life, it was Li Guofu who took him in.At that time, Li Guofu was the deputy director and chef of the state-owned restaurant in Pingyang County.

Well, obesity is probably the ultimate destination of every qualified chef.

Li Guofu not only took him in despite all the arguments, but also taught him his cooking skills without reservation.

It can be said that he is a real nobleman in Zhao Wenmu's life.

Although the prosperous Zhao Wenmu also gave the other party a lot of help, but the friendship of giving charcoal in the snow is different after all.

Seeing the acquaintances from the previous life, Zhao Wenmu felt warm in his heart.

It seems that Li Guofu is also his nobleman in this life. After all, the other party is currently the deputy director of the state-owned restaurant, and he has the final say on the purchase of ingredients.

Zhao Wenmu stabilized his mind, and then replied neither humble nor overbearing:

"No problem! What's your name, big brother? I wonder how many wild vegetables you want?"

"My name is Li Guofu, and I am the deputy director of the State-owned Hotel."

"Shepherd's purse and gray vegetable are 20 catties each, and bitter vegetables are 10 catties. The price is still ten cents per catty. What do you think?"

When Zhao Wenmu introduced the methods and effects of various wild vegetables, he also listened carefully.

Needless to say, he was very surprised.

Not to mention the taste and efficacy of wild vegetables, just because of his rhetoric, wild vegetables will definitely sell well.

Can an ordinary mountain person have this insight?
Although 50 catties of wild vegetables is quite a lot, it is definitely a piece of cake for the state-owned restaurant in Pingyang County.

Zhao Wenmu was also very happy, so he told Li Guofu more cooking methods of wild vegetables, and made an appointment with Li Guofu on the delivery time.

The state-run restaurant is not in such a hurry to pick up the goods, he can go to the area of ​​the sugar factory to sell them first, and then deliver to the restaurant.

Li Guofu looked at Zhao Wenmu's feet.

This young man is really nice, he is hard-working and knowledgeable, and he likes it very much because he speaks and does things clearly.

He took out five yuan and handed it to Zhao Wenmu:
"Xiao Zhao, I'll pay you in advance for tomorrow's food, you should go to the health center to get your feet cleaned!"

This is really timely rain!
Zhao Wenmu was still worrying just now.

The injury on my foot can be treated for one or two yuan and it will be gone. The wild vegetables sold today are only more than three yuan, and the remaining money is too little.

He also plans to buy some things to go home and make delicious food for Zhao Jing.

Zhao Wenmu didn't give in. He took the money and said to Li Guofu seriously:
"Director Li, don't worry, I will definitely deliver the wild vegetables tomorrow morning!"
