Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 19 Where to Go
After seeing his eldest brother off, Lu Changhua said hello to his mother and turned around to go to the sunbathing area.

It's starting to snow, and it's time for Lu Changhua's moldy wheat to be shipped back.

Xiong Bao had to follow Lu Changhua life and death, but he had no choice but to tie Xiong Bao in the courtyard cruelly, so that he could feel at ease.

When the director of the drying field saw Xiao Lu coming, he shouted dissatisfied: "Xiao Lu, you are really good at it. Why don't you just buy wheat and keep it in the drying field?!"

"Who says it doesn't matter? I come every day."

Lu Changhua responded and went into the duty room of the drying yard.

After entering winter, there are basically no people in the drying field except for the grain. If you want to find someone, you can only come to the duty room.

Because only the duty room has a stove and burns coal.

The duty room is actually the guard room, next to the door of the drying yard.

People who come to the drying yard every day to do errands and laborers looking for odd jobs gather in the guard room, smoking, chatting and spanking.

If you can find a job, go work for a while. If you can't find it, it doesn't matter. You can chat all morning. When you feel hungry, you will go away.

Lu Changhua opened the door, and a large wave of hot air hit his face.

The strong smell of toad-head dry smoke hits my head.

The director of the drying yard also came in and said to Lu Changhua: "Hurry up and find someone to take your broken wheat away. I will stock up in two days, so don't delay things."

"Can't miss it."

Before they could finish speaking, someone interrupted and asked, "Pretending to be wheat? I'll do it."

"Why are you coming? We've already agreed. If you don't believe me, just ask."

Of course the people who were drying the wheat with Lu Changhua have to declare their sovereignty. This job has already been taken care of, so don’t worry about it!

"What about that, director, please lend me some sacks. How can I pack them without a sack?!"

"Okay, let Xiao Sun get it for you later. I'm telling you, be quick and don't delay important things."

"Do not worry."

After the drying director made his explanation clear, he glanced at everyone in the room and turned around to go out.

The door was closed with a bang, and everyone raised their voices and shouted loudly.

"You guys hurry up and pack your bags, I'll find the car."

"okay."

Those people got up and followed out, looking for sacks when it was time to bag them.

Lu Changhua went to the team headquarters to find Lao Lu to get out of the car.

On the farm, many things are a matter of favor. You help me and I will help you.

Whenever you mention money, it hurts the harmony.

Where can Lao Lu ask for money?Driving a car only costs some gas, and you don't have to pay for it yourself. You can also do it as a favor.

That afternoon, Lao Lu drove a rubber-tired truck towing the trailer to the drying yard.

In front of the grain store in the drying yard, there are already piles of sealed sacks, and each bag is bulging.

"Okay, the progress is pretty fast! How many more are there?"

"There's not much left. I can still hold more than 100 bags."

The musty smell in the grain store was so strong that it choked my nose as soon as I entered it.

"How many are these?"

"I just checked, three hundred and eighty."

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's drink after work."

"okay."

The loaders and unloaders all went home to deal with the problem at noon, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the bagging was completed.

Lao Lu's car must be loaded with at least two cars.

After loading the first car, Lu Changhua and three people followed the car to the reservoir.

After unloading the wheat into the warehouse, the originally empty warehouse suddenly became crowded.

Lu Changhua was waiting in the reservoir duty room while Lao Lu and the loaders returned to the drying yard and loaded the remaining wheat onto the truck.

By the time they wandered to the reservoir, the moon was already in the night sky.

In the duty room, Lao Lu and Mother Lu were clearing the dining table.

Xiong Bao has been following Lu Changhua for a long time, busy going in and out. It feels like he is the busiest now.

Han Ying also started working.

Ever since Han Ying learned that Lu Changhua had contracted the reservoir, she had taken the time to visit several times.

Lu Changhua was busy studying and had no time to chat with her, which made the little girl feel a little disappointed.

Today is a great opportunity.

The Lu family wanted to treat the driver and loaders to a meal, and she heard about it in the cafeteria.

Lu Zaigao cooked vegetables in the cafeteria, packed them in lunch boxes, and took them to the reservoir.

Han Ying naturally followed and busied herself.

Mother Lu was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear.

Lu Changhua directed the loaders to deliver the sacks into the kitchen first, making way for the stove and stove. More than 100 bags were put in, and the rest could only be placed in the office.

Originally, he wanted to put it in a room with a heated kang, but he considered that there are both a fluted wall and a heated kang. He was afraid that the wheat would have a fever again, and it would be troublesome then.

It can only be temporarily piled in the office.

Anyway, he is the only one in the office now.

After unloading the car, Lao Lu turned off the engine and washed his hands and ate with the loaders.

Although it was November, it had already snowed and it was freezing cold, but these stevedores were steaming with steam.

Entering the inner room from the outside, it is warm as spring.

The dinner table is filled with snacks.

The first drink in Northeast China is fried peanuts.

This dish is a must-have when drinking.

The second dish, which is extremely affordable and satisfies cravings, is braised pork head.

The meat slices are cut extremely thin, and they are translucent when you take a photo. The slices are the same and the thickness is even. Then they are mixed with coriander and chili red oil. Wow, it tastes delicious!

The third dish is braised white silver carp.

Originally, we wanted to braise big carp, but there was no such thing, so we had to use white silver carp to make up for it. However, Lao Lu’s skill was so good that he still tasted the big carp.

The fourth dish is a home-cooked dish, vegetarian fried shredded potatoes.

I don't know where Lao Lu found the green peppers. The shredded potatoes are translucent and square, and the shredded green peppers are also fried together like the shredded potatoes. The combination of yellow and green is full of spring.

The fifth course was a homemade dish.

White lotus.This is the name Lao Lu chose himself.

Remove the leaves from the Chinese cabbage and leave it on the side.

Three layers in one split.

Keep the middle layer.

Use the slice knife method to cut out thin slices with jagged edges.

Use a secret method to mix the meat filling, use the cabbage slices as skin, rotate it into a cone shape with the top opening and the bottom, and put the meat filling inside.

Put it in a steamer, then take it out of the pan and put it on a plate.

The serrated white lotus flowers are in full bloom on the plate, and the meat filling is delicious and attractive.

"Master Lu, your skills are amazing! It would be a shame not to open a restaurant!"

All the people drooled and praised in unison.

The sixth dish is even more amazing.

It’s called Luoxue.

This was something Lao Lu figured out himself.

After the eggs are beaten, add the oil to the pan and stir. In an instant, the eggs become silk and wrap around the wooden stick.

Serve on a plate with wooden sticks and fried egg shreds, and sprinkle with sugar.

Like the snow falling on the earth, the mountains and rivers are covered with silver!
A bottle of Yuquan wine is placed on the table. "Come on, come on, everyone has worked hard, drink some wine and keep warm!"

As a parent, Lao Lu must come forward to say hello.

Xiao Lu could only take a back seat on this occasion.First, he doesn't drink well enough and can't drink with him.Second, when I am here, how can it be my son’s turn to speak? !
Mother Lu, Han Ying, and Zhang Luowan also sat next to Lu Changhua and helped greet the guests.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the Lu family, everyone started eating and drinking.

Xiong Bao felt the warm atmosphere at the scene and circled around everyone. Finally he found the opportunity, lowered his head and got under the table, and lay obediently at Lu Changhua's feet, waiting for the owner to remember that there was him under the table. .

Everyone exchanged glasses, and after drinking a bottle of wine, everyone was drunk.

Lao Lu dragged these drunkards back to the family area.

Mother Lu and Han Ying cleaned up the mess, while Lao Lu looked at the dinner table in trance.

"Dad, are you worried?"

"I'm afraid the cafeteria will be disbanded after the Chinese New Year."

"Oh? Who said that?"

"Director Han told me to prepare early."

Lao Lu sighed, "What can I prepare?"

"Dad, this is a good thing."

"Is this still a good thing?"

"Of course it's a good thing."

Lao Lu looked at his youngest son with confusion on his face.

"Dad, it would be better if we disbanded. You can use your expertise to make money."

"Making money? You mean opening your own restaurant?"

"Yes."

"Oh, you are thinking too simply. When we open a restaurant on our farm, whoever gives you money will be on credit. How will you get so much money in advance? Why don't you open a restaurant?!"

"Besides, it is troublesome to ask for accounts. I have inquired about it, and I know the owners of several restaurants in the field department. They all said that it is too difficult to ask for accounts. People fall out. Oh, how difficult it is!"

"Dad, haven't you ever thought about driving in the city?"

"In the city? How much does it cost to open a business? Besides, rent, food money, material money, labor money, everything is a lot!"

"Dad, first let me tell you, if you open a restaurant on the farm, will these costs be involved?"

"That's true."

"We earn cash when we go to the city, and no one takes us on credit. This is the biggest profit."

Lu Changhua was wringing his hands to settle the score with his father.

"Where to open a restaurant, these costs are indispensable. It's just that the rent is more expensive than the farm, that's for sure."

“Then there’s the cost of the ingredients, which is also a big part of it.”

Lu Changhua smiled at his father.

"Dad, your son raises fish, so you open a restaurant specializing in fish and I will supply it to you. Are you still afraid that I will charge you more?!"

"Yes, that's true, but will anyone come to a restaurant that specializes in fish?"

Although Lao Lu felt that his son's idea was novel, he was not sure whether it would work or not.

"Dad, have you ever heard of the saying that one move will eat you up?"

"Do you mean to defeat the world with one unique move?"

"Correct."

Lu Changhua explained to his father.

"We can't be perfect in business. No one is perfect, let alone a business?"

"Our restaurant specializes in fish. We eat it one way in summer and another way in winter."

“For example, spicy and sour fish in summer, and fish hot pot in winter.”

"In this way, the winter and summer dishes will change, customers will have a sense of freshness, and business will naturally be worry-free."

"As for your question about whether anyone will come to eat, don't worry. As long as the food is unique, delicious and affordable, you won't have to worry about business."

"At least the business is better than the farm, with more customers."

"We call this kind of restaurant that specializes in fish cooking Yufu."

"Hey, that's right!"

Lao Lu blinked and suddenly slapped his thigh.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that."

It was as if he had opened a joint.

"I open a fish restaurant, you supply me fish, your fish is sold, and my restaurant opens. It's the best of both worlds."

"Well, this works."

Just as they were talking, Mother Lu and Han Ying came out of the kitchen. They mixed the leftovers and steamed buns into a small basin and handed them to Xiong Bao, who had been waiting impatiently.

When Xiong Bao saw this, he whimpered, lowered his head and rushed to the rice bowl. How could he have time to talk to others at this time? Eating was the most important thing.

"Uncle Lu is going to the city to open a restaurant?"

Han Ying stared with bright eyes.

"Ah, I have this idea."

Lao Lu blinked, not understanding what Han Ying meant.

"I want to follow you to open your eyes!"

"Ah? Pull it down, can your dad agree?"

Lao Lu glanced at Han Ying and said: "Even if the cafeteria is disbanded, you still have a place to go. Follow me to the city, and you won't be able to finish your meal. Your father will arrange an iron rice bowl for you, which is no better than following me to smoke oil and smoke." ?!”

Lao Lu didn't take Han Ying's words seriously at all.

Director Han has two children. One of his sons is in the army, and he only has a daughter by his side. How can he be willing to let his daughter go to the city and hang out? !

Impossible.

"Uncle Lu, don't worry about this. I just want to visit the city and gain some experience. Isn't that right?!"

"But you can't joke about this work. It's too late to regret if you miss the opportunity. I don't agree with you going."

Lao Lu knew that Director Han loved his daughter, and he would never let her go.

"Uncle Lu, I will do my dad's work. Just tell me whether you want me or not?"

Han Ying's temper is quite stubborn, and she won't look back when something is right.

"I heard what your dad said. He plans to let you go to a health center and become a nurse first. What a good job is this?! An iron rice bowl for life. Others don't have this opportunity yet, so you have to cherish it. !”

"I don't want to be a nurse."

Han Ying pursed her lips and looked aggrieved.

"You are still too young! I don't blame you for being ignorant now. Go back and listen to your father's arrangements. He is for your own good, so don't let him down. Your father is old and you are the only daughter by his side. Your brother We are still fighting in the southwest, so let your dad save some time."

No matter what Han Ying said, Lao Lu just disagreed.

If he dares to agree to Han Ying's job as a waiter in the city, Lao Han is afraid that he will break up with him.

Seeing that she couldn't understand Lao Lu, Han Ying set her sights on Lu Changhua.

"Don't look at me, what I say doesn't count."

Lu Changhua didn't even have time to hide, so how dare he drag Han Yinghua to his side.

"I'll go back and tell my dad!"

Han Ying went home angrily and went to find Director Han to do a job. As for the outcome, Lu Changhua didn't need to think about it. Even though Old Han couldn't bear to beat her, he had to scold her for three days.

When Mother Lu saw Han Ying leaving angrily, she quickly said hello, took out one of the electrical appliances she was usually reluctant to use, and chased after him with a flashlight.

"Daughter, take a flashlight. It's dark and the roads are slippery. Be careful."

Han Ying took the flashlight, said goodbye to Mother Lu, and left alone.

Lu Changhua felt happy when he saw that his father had figured it out.

In his previous life, the old man opened a restaurant on a farm, and it was a pity that such good craftsmanship failed.

Now, Lu Changhua has opened up Lu Zaigao's thinking. Going to the city to find a way out has more opportunities than staying on the farm.
