Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 191 Processing Truffles
Xiao Yu'er picked up a smashed abalone shell and said, "The color is so beautiful, I want to punch a hole and make it into a necklace for my mother."

The pearl-like luster inside the abalone shell is really beautiful. Many processed handicrafts will cut the abalone shell into pieces and use special techniques to make beautiful craft jewelry.

It is really rare for Xiao Yu'er to have such thoughtfulness and aesthetics at such a young age.

Jiang Ancheng touched Xiao Yu'er's head and encouraged him, "Drill the hole however you want, Dad will help you."

Xiao Yuer pointed to the top part of the abalone shell: "I want to drill a hole here, and I also want to cut the shape into a rose. A sparkling rose will look beautiful on my mother."

Sun Miaolan was moved, and smiled gratifiedly: "Our little fish has grown up, and we all know how to make gifts for mother."

Xiao Yu'er raised her chin proudly, "I'll make it for Dad in the future."

Jiang Ancheng was overwhelmed by the flattery, he laughed and said, "How cute!"

Jiang Ancheng found a drilling tool at home, drilled a small hole with great difficulty, and then used a cutting tool to cut the most beautiful part of the abalone shell into a five-pointed star shape. The remaining part that needs to be polished is not dangerous, so Jiang Ancheng took it out The sandpaper was handed over to Xiao Yuer.

Xiao Yuer took great pleasure in polishing, and his grandparents were also taken over by Zhang Zhen.

As soon as the grandparents entered the house, they were obviously a little cautious when they saw the decorations in the house.

Xiao Yu'er will come, and when he sees his grandpa and grandma, he immediately shows off the abalone shell in his hand, "Look, it's a gift I made for mom."

As soon as Xiao Yu'er opened his mouth, the room became lively.

Grandpa took it and looked at it, "What is this? Why does it look a bit like a clam shell?"

Freshwater clam shells also have the luster of pearls. However, freshwater clam shells are generally relatively brittle and thin, far less hard than abalone shells.

Xiao Yu'er pointed to the abalone on the dining table and said, "It's abalone, something from the sea."

The grandparents have never eaten seafood, and when they heard abalone, they were puzzled, "Abalone, doesn't this look like fish?"

The braised abalone on the plate is more like stewed round pancakes.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "It's not fish, it's a kind of shell seafood, and it's also a nourishing delicacy. Mom and Dad, you should try it out."

Grandfather and grandmother sat down. Jiang Ancheng was going to pour some sweet-scented osmanthus wine for grandfather, but was stopped by grandmother and Sun Miaolan, "Don't give him alcohol, the doctor has repeatedly told him, it's not good for his rheumatism."

Jiang Ancheng saw that his grandfather wanted to drink, looked at his mother and his wife's eyes, put down the wine, and poured his father a cup of hot tea.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Drink it another day, then drink it another day!"

The face of the mother-in-law is of course more important than the face of the father-in-law.

In addition to braised abalone and pan-fried octopus, sea cucumbers with scallion oil and steamed prawns are on the table.

Jiang Ancheng's craftsmanship is good, and thanks to the refrigerator, he can bring out the freshness of seafood [-]%.

Grandfather was full of praise, glanced at the refrigerator out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but ask, "What's that?"

They know the TV, but this is the first time they have seen the refrigerator.

Even the richest family in the town has never heard anyone brag about such a thing.

Jiang Ancheng explained: "That's a refrigerator, which is specially used to keep food fresh. The top is for refrigeration, and the bottom is for freezing. It can hold popsicles."

Grandfather exclaimed: "There is such a good thing, our country of Hua is really amazing!"

Grandfather felt great when he saw a refrigerator, but he didn't know that Huaguo was many times behind other countries.

The Sun Country has almost entered the ranks of developed countries. In our country, every household has electricity and roads have not been popularized.

Jiang Ancheng smiled: "Well, our Huaguo is really nice."

Although it is still far behind other countries, it will get better in the future.

After dinner, Jiang Ancheng personally took his grandparents to the house where they were resettled.

It's not far away, and it's just across from the hospital. Grandfather's eyes were good, "Is this the hospital we checked before?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Well, yes, it will be convenient for you to go to the hospital in the future."

Grandfather hurriedly said: "It's so close, we can go to the hospital by ourselves in the future, you are busy with your work, don't worry about us."

Jiang Ancheng shook his head: "That's okay, there are many things that you don't understand yet, let's talk about them after you get familiar with them."

Grandfather Ao couldn't beat Jiang Ancheng, so he could only nod his head and follow Jiang Ancheng upstairs first.

As soon as they entered, grandparents and grandparents were stunned, "Is this for us to live in?"

This room is smaller than what Jiang Ancheng and Sun Miaolan lived in, but although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs, the toilet and kitchen are newly built, and the interior of the room has also been decorated. It looks very comfortable and suitable for the elderly to live in.

The grandparents have never lived in such a nice house, so they couldn't help asking: "Is this rented? Is it expensive?"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "No, I bought this for the convenience of you when you see a doctor. There is our retail flower shop over there. Parents can come here anytime they want to play."

The grandparents couldn't help but lament Jiang Ancheng's strong financial resources again.

It was hard for Sun Xianghong to make up his mind to buy a house in the city, and he bought it after careful consideration.

Jiang Ancheng's light tone seemed as cheap as buying a house and cabbage.

Grandmother said happily, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Jiang Ancheng shook his head: "Where there is trouble, it should be."

In the previous life, grandparents and grandfathers worried about them until their death, and tried their best to help them.

Compared with his Qin Shen parents, they are more like his biological parents.

It is impossible for Jiang Ancheng not to be filial to them.

The hired nurse will not go to work tomorrow, and Jiang Ancheng deliberately arranges for his grandparents to sleep until they leave.

What I am afraid of is that my grandparents will not adapt to the environment of living in a building.

Back home, Sun Miaolan puffed her stomach and asked in a low voice, "Are my parents satisfied?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Well, the old couple are getting used to it. The nurse will be here tomorrow, so we don't have to worry too much."

Sun Miaolan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with concern: "You're tired, Xiao Yu'er has fallen asleep, I've already boiled the bath water, you can take some water and take a bath."

Jiang Ancheng was indeed tired, but he had to fly to Shanghai tomorrow to sign a contract with a truffle merchant from Europe.

Jiang Ancheng said: "Have you packed it up for me?"

Sun Miaolan nodded: "You said you would go for a day or two this time and come back. It's summer again, so I only prepared a small luggage bag for you."

Jiang Ancheng smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, then I'll take a shower first."

Sun Miaolan lowered her eyes shyly: "We are husband and wife, so please say something polite."

Her shy appearance is like a seductive rose in bud.

Jiang Ancheng felt hot all over, swallowed, raised the corners of his mouth, and kissed her on the face, "Well, I'm just being polite."

When Jiang Ancheng came out of the shower, Sun Miaolan was already lying on the bed.

The subtle light from the bedside lamp gave Sun Miaolan's figure a soft glow.

Jiang Ancheng approached gently, and hugged Sun Miaolan from behind.

Sun Miaolan snorted softly, "Go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Jiang Ancheng hasn't eased up for a long time, now that the atmosphere is here, how can he let it go.

Jiang Ancheng stretched his arms to turn off the desk lamp, and his deep voice sounded in the dark night: "A spring night is worth a thousand dollars, so what's the point of getting up early."

Early the next morning, Zhang Zhen came to pick up Jiang Ancheng at the door.

Sun Miaolan wanted to send Jiang Ancheng to the airport, but Jiang Ancheng shook his head and said, "I'll just go back in a day or two, don't send me, just rest at home, oh yes, you have to go to the maternity checkup today, right?"

Sun Miaolan stroked her stomach and nodded: "Well, I have to go to the hospital today."

Jiang Ancheng smiled: "Then take a good rest and prepare to go to the hospital. Don't worry, I will definitely come back safely."

Every time Sun Miaolan worried that Jiang Ancheng would be in danger when flying, she sighed and said, "Well, the children and I will wait for you."

Jiang Ancheng got in the car, and when he arrived at the airport, he saw many transport vehicles transporting matsutake.

Jiang Ancheng couldn't help thinking of it and asked Zhang Zhen: "Are the flights negotiated?"

Zhang Zhen shook his head: "Currently there are not enough flights to connect us to export truffles."

Their Yuncheng is still a small inland city, and there are regular flights to Shanghai City every day.

And these fixed flights have to transport other goods, and their truffles are not ranked at all.

Yi Weimin's private airline also has a limited number of aircraft, and, for the main export of truffles, there is no room for other goods in the transport warehouse of the flight.

Jiang Ancheng frowned, "Without flights, this business is really hard to talk about."

If there is no flight, Jiang Ancheng may be able to transport thousands of kilograms of truffles a day.

Jiang Ancheng couldn't help asking: "Is there no other way?"

Zhang Zhendao: "Unless the airline adds new routes and transport flights, otherwise, we have to build a transport plane ourselves."

Of course, this is completely impossible given Jiang Ancheng's current strength.

Jiang Ancheng frowned: "Then ask the airline if they can add new flights."

Now is the time when China's economy is developing rapidly, and train travel is far less fast than air travel.

After all, the country of Hua is so big that a plane can reach its destination within a short flight.

The expansion of the flight is imminent. If an airline is willing to expand the flight, Jiang Ancheng can let it sign a contract to transport truffles on a fixed route.

The plan is good, but the question is whether there is such a suitable airline, just like an airline that wants to expand its flights.

Who knows, Yuncheng is just a small city.

Without enough profit, no one will do it.

If it weren't for the complicated procedures, Jiang Ancheng would really like to build a few planes for himself to export truffles.

Zhang Zhen nodded: "I'll contact you first, and I'll give you an answer as soon as possible."

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Okay."

After getting off the plane, Jiang Ancheng got in the car to the hotel and met Chef Al.

Chef Al said enthusiastically: "They are very satisfied with your truffles, this time, they will sign a special big order for you!"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Thank you."

The appointment time is at noon tomorrow.

Taking advantage of the time now, Jiang Ancheng took the processed truffle products out of the bag and gave them to Chef Al to taste.

Chef Al was surprised when he saw the truffle powder and dried truffles in the glass jar: "Did you make this?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Yes, I made this, I don't know if it suits your European tastes."

Chef Ayer couldn't wait to taste it. After tasting, he gave Jiang Ancheng a thumbs up: "It's very delicious, no different from the best truffles in my hometown! Even more fragrant, this sauce will definitely be very popular!"

Jiang Ancheng's truffle sauce is prepared according to modern tastes, so it is naturally more delicious than the current truffle sauce.

Before, he was still a little apprehensive, but when he heard Chef Al's statement, he was relieved a lot.

Jiang Ancheng then asked: "I even export fresh truffles, will the truffle merchants be willing to accept it?"

Chef Al patted his chest and promised: "I swear, they will definitely want it!"

Chef Ayer's words gave Jiang Ancheng great confidence, and he had been making great preparations for truffles before.

On the second day, Jiang Ancheng met five truffle merchants who came by special plane from Europe.

They said that Huaguo had truffles which surprised them.

After signing the contract, I also want to go to the place of origin with Jiang Ancheng to inspect it for a while.

Jiang Ancheng didn't want to take them there so early, so he found an excuse to shirk and said: "The local people are very jealous of foreigners going, so let me tell them first and make full preparations before I invite you to go."

After the translator told these truffle dealers, the truffle dealers all believed that the local people who produced truffles wanted to protect their truffle secrets, so they resisted them.

They expressed their understanding and signed a long-term supply contract with Jiang Ancheng.

The price will be adjusted according to the fluctuation of the market.

Jiang Ancheng readily accepted that in the next few years, the price of truffles will increase. With this contract guarantee, he will not be afraid that other people will compete with him for business.

Jiang Ancheng took out the dried truffles with truffle sauce and truffle powder that he brought.

The moment they took it out, the eyes of the truffle merchants lit up.

Because the shelf life of fresh truffles is short after all, but the processed truffles can guarantee the supply of the market throughout the year.

Trufflers are more comfortable in the dry goods business, and the risks are not as great.

Before, I wanted to ask Jiang Ancheng if he could process truffles locally.

The truffle merchant smelled the truffles and tasted the truffle sauce. He looked amazed and asked Jiang Ancheng, "Do you use any other additives in your truffle sauce?"

Jiang Ancheng shook his head: "There are no additives. They are all natural truffles. Maybe our local truffles are better and the sauce tastes better."

Hearing Jiang Ancheng's answer, the truffle merchants looked carefully at the dried truffles again, and after confirming that the quality was really good, they exclaimed, "Mr. Jiang, let's talk about the price of these truffle sauces?"

After confirming that the truffle merchant was satisfied with the goods, Jiang Ancheng knew the price in his mind.

After some discussion, the price of dried truffles was three times that of fresh truffles.

Jiang Ancheng's heart was beating wildly, and he signed the contract patiently and excitedly.

After the truffle vendors left, Jiang Ancheng immediately said to Zhang Zhen: "If no airline is willing to add new flights, just give me money until they are willing!"
