Chapter 29 The three experts fighting for wits and courage
Ma Dashan went to the main hall to greet Yuan Hong and others, while Li Youqian and Li Fugui and Wang Shuzhen went to their bedrooms.
Looking at a box of 210,000 yuan in cash, both Li Fugui and Wang Shuzhen fell into a dullness.
After living for decades, this is the first time they have seen so much cash. Although they sold ginseng for 120,000 yuan last time, they are far less shocking than this time.
It is understandable that ginseng is worth more than 100,000 yuan, but even a pile of soil that no one wants can be sold for more than 200,000 yuan, which makes them really unacceptable.
"You have money, aren't you lying to us?" Li Fugui swallowed and asked in disbelief.
"Dad, I'm your kindness. Don't you understand who I am?" Li Youqian said helplessly, "This money is really sold for local food. If you don't believe it, you can go to our backyard to have a look. Besides, some old experts have not left yet. If you don't believe it, just ask them."
"It's not that I don't believe in you, I don't believe in myself. Shuzhen, try slapping me." Li Fugui turned his gaze to Wang Shuzhen and said.
"Bang!" Wang Shuzhen slapped Li Fugui on the face, and his voice was crisp and loud.
"Hiss, it hurts really. It seems that I'm not dreaming." Li Fugui didn't care about the scorching pain on his face. He looked at the neatly packed cash in front of him with excitement, and his breathing became a little rapid.
"Dad, pay attention to your image, and you will stay after a while." Looking at Li Fugui who was a little out of control, Li Youqian couldn't help but quip.
"You little brat, you dare to laugh at your father. Is it itchy again?" Li Fugui glared at Li Youqian, trying to pretend to be angry, but it turned out that he looked even more funny, which made Li Youqian and Wang Shuzhen laugh.
"Dad, you can keep the money well. These are all small money, so don't care too much. When my dish is sold, counting the money will make you count so much." Li Youqian said with a smile.
"You guy knows how to blow, okay, hurry up and chat with some old experts, your mother and I will prepare meals for them." Although Li Fugui seemed to be scolding Li Youqian, he was actually already happy.
Li Youqian could even sell more than 200,000 yuan worth of soil in the village, not to mention the pollution-free vegetables grown with great effort.
Li Fugui believed that it would not take long before Li Youqian could sell all the dishes and exchange them for tempting red bills.
He couldn't help but be glad that he chose to support Li Youqian, otherwise his life would be like in the Li family.
Li Youqian left the bedroom, grabbed a large handful of peanuts and took them to the main hall to give them to Yuan Hong and the others, and also brought some melon seeds. These melon seeds were the best ones that Wang Shuzhen bought in the village store just now, thirteen yuan per pound.
"You are rich, why do you say you are a college graduate, why don't you find a good job in the city and go back to the countryside to grow vegetables?" Yu Xuemin asked in confusion.
"Old Yu, you don't understand this. This is called returning to the roots of fallen leaves and giving back to the countryside. Besides, what's wrong with the countryside? The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the birds are singing and fragrant. It's much better than staying in the city. If it weren't for those research, I would have found a mountain forest to live in seclusion long ago." Yuan Hong retorted dissatisfied.
"That's right, especially in the past two years, the country has called on college students to return to their hometowns to start businesses and support rural development. The future development situation in rural areas may be stronger than in the city." Yan Sanming also interrupted.
"I didn't ask you two old guys, what do you think you are?" Yu Xuemin glared at the two of them and said.
"Hey, I'm happy, I have the ability to hit me." Yuan Hong looked at Yu Xuemin provocatively.
"Hmph, I don't have the same knowledge as you, an old scoundrel." Yu Xuemin curled his lips, "I'm rich, look at these two people, neither of them is as stern as an old man should be. I really don't know how I knew such a shameless old guy."
"Old Yu, Mr. Yuan is still childish, it's pretty good." Li Youqian smiled.
He could see that although the three of them often had some differences, their relationship should be very good, otherwise they would not have sarcasticated each other in front of him, an outsider.
"You are rich, why don't you tell me in advance what delicious dishes you have prepared for us to see if you have eaten them." Yuan Hong couldn't help asking curiously.
"Hehe, you'll wait a little longer. I guess the food will be ready soon. You'll be satisfied with the package at that time." Li Youqian deliberately tried to sway everyone's appetite and did not tell them.
"If you have money, tidy up the table and prepare for dinner." Wang Shuzhen shouted loudly in the kitchen.
"Good." Li Youqian responded with a smile, then sorted out the melon seeds and peanuts on the table and started to serve up the fried dishes in the kitchen.
A large pot of fried cabbage, a large pot of fried cabbage, a large pot of fried cabbage, a portion of garlic and maize, plus a green pepper shredded pork and a pot of cold dishes bought.
Instead of lettuce Li Youqian, he washed it and placed it on a plate, put it on a stack of soybean paste, and prepared to dip it in the sauce. In his opinion, only in this way can he eat it authentic lettuce and taste the sweet and juicy of the lettuce.
"Is it gone?" Ma Dashan was stunned for a moment and blurted out.
In his opinion, since Li Youqian tried to keep Yuan and the other two for dinner, he had to come up with some specialties in the farm, such as stewing a local chicken and steaming a fresh fish. This might satisfy Yuan and his tricky appetite.
But Li Youqian is so good. He is really just a few home-cooked dishes, which really saves money and saves you home.
"Except for this green pepper shredded pork, I specially prepared everything else. Now everyone can start to taste it." Li Youqian said with a smile and full of confidence.
Ma Dashan glanced at Yuan Hong and others who were also a little stunned, and couldn't help but wink at Li Youqian, but Li Youqian seemed to have not seen it.
Although these vegetables smell quite fragrant, they are all too ordinary vegetables after all. Ma Dashan doesn't think that Li Youqian will win a bet on a date.
"Put your chopsticks." Li Youqian urged again.
"Oh, okay." Yuan Hong responded. In his opinion, these dishes were not very good, but after all, they were Li Youqian's intentions, so he had to be willing to do it no matter how hard he was. So he raised his chopsticks, picked up a bite of the dish and prepared to taste it.
Since he returned to the city, he hasn't eaten farm dishes for many years. In his opinion, it's good to regard this as a memory of the past.
After a bite of the dish was in his mouth, Yuan Hong had just taken a bite and his expression suddenly became dull.
"Old Yuan, what's wrong? This dish..." Yu Xuemin was shocked when he saw Yuan Hong's appearance, thinking that the dish was apart from something.
Ma Dashan also showed anxiety in his eyes. Yuan Hong and the other two were famous big names. No matter who had problems, he could not afford to take it. He also regretted listening to Li Youqian's advice. He would have known that he would not have left Yuan Hong and the other two.
Because Yuan Hong's expression was dull, Ma Dashan became anxious, Yu Xuemin became confused, but Li Youqian seemed to be sure of winning and sat firmly on Diaoyutai.
"Oh, nothing, I was thinking about something else just now. Lao Yu, don't eat this dish, it's too bad. But this is a kindness of wealth, so let me bear this sin." Yuan Hong sighed lightly, turned his eyes to Yu Xuemin and persuaded him.
However, when he turned around and looked at Yan Sanming on his left, he quickly blinked and then showed a mysterious smile.
Yuan Hong drooped his face, as if he was suffering some pain, and then picked up a bite of the dish into his mouth. He didn't know if it had been chewed, so he picked up another chopstick.
Yan Sanming seemed to understand at this time, and he looked at Yuan Hong and said, "Old Yuan, we were comrades who went to the countryside to share the joys and sorrows. I will share the burden for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Sanming picked up a bite of oil and vegetables and put it in his mouth.
For a moment, the expression on his face became a little stiff, but soon he came to his senses: "Oh, this dish is too bad, Lao Yu, listen to my advice, don't eat it."
After saying that, like Yuan Hong, he picked up another chopstick and put it in his mouth with a bitter face.
Looking at the scene in front of him, everyone except Li Youqian was confused. Although the pain expressions of the two were very good, they were mixed with some... enjoyment!
Yes, it's just enjoyment!
If they replace the bitter faces of the two, they are obviously having a feast!
Yu Xuemin was full of doubts, and he was also a little confused. The decades of old friendship made him very familiar with Yuan Hong and the others. Only these two people would not be so kind and sacrificed for him.
With a try attitude, Yu Xuemin also picked up the chopsticks and prepared to pick up one and try it. Even if the dish was not delicious, he would vomit.
"Old Yu, don't move, this dish cannot be eaten!" Yu Xuemin just put the chopsticks in the dish basin when Yuan Hong suddenly exclaimed.
Seeing Yuan Hong stopping him, Yu Xuemin wanted to taste the dish even more. He pushed Yuan Hong's hand away, suddenly picked up a chopstick dish and put it in his mouth.
The whole movement was like flowing water, and it was done in one go. Zhang Yu was also amazed at the sight of it. There was no one else in this speed.
"You two old bastards dare to lie to me!" Feeling the indescribable delicacy in your mouth, Yu Xuemin immediately shouted.
Yuan Hong seemed to know that his scam had been exposed, and his movements were speeding up twice, constantly holding the dishes in his mouth. Seeing this, Yan Sanming was not willing to be outdone. His movements were so fast that he did not fall at all.
"You old bastards have eaten so much, leave some for me!" Yu Xuemin roared with tears in his eyes, pushing Yuan Hong and the others while picking up food in his mouth.
Seeing that the three respected masters almost started fighting for a few ordinary home-cooked dishes, Ma Dashan and Tian Jiefang were also confused.
But they understood that the problem must be with these dishes. They looked at each other and raised their chopsticks at the same time to taste them.
The extremely delicious oil-beef vegetables swallowed with a refreshing fragrance, which immediately made the two of them fall into a state of inability to stop.
