Chapter 38 I’ll cook beef noodles for you tonight

 Today I will go back and make a bowl of beef noodles for my parents, fry some shredded potatoes, and get some cherries.

There are walnuts, plums, loquats, grapes, figs and other fruit trees at home, but no cherries.

Take out all the things you want to bring back from the storage cabinet and pack them in corresponding containers.

Close the door and get on your motorcycle.

Go home.

If you take the path back home along the canyon, it's only two kilometers.

But riding a motorcycle can only take highways, which are a little farther, about five kilometers.

Soon after, we arrived at the village.

"Uncle Zhong, what are you doing?" Li You met a familiar villager, stopped his motorcycle and said hello.

The other party’s name is Li Zhong, and he is about fifty years old.

Li Zhong saw it was Li You and said with a smile: "I'm about to go back. By the way, Xiaoyou, your hotel business seems to be okay. I passed by there last time and saw a lot of people in the store."

Li You also smiled and said: "Sometimes it's okay. Uncle Zhong, eat the cherry."

Li You opened the bag of cherries and invited Li Zhong to eat.

Li Zhong took two and said: "These cherries are quite red, they should be delicious."

"Get more, get more."

Li Zhong waved his hand and said that just two would be enough.

Li You grabbed a handful and handed it to Li Zhong, and then said: "Uncle Zhong, why are you being so polite? I used to eat less of your plums."

Li Zhong took the cherries and said: "This year's plums have grown well again. Now they are basically almost edible."

Li You said: "The plums are producing well this year, and the one at my house is producing well too."

Li You didn't have a plum tree at home before, but now there is one.

After chatting with Li Zhong for a few more words, Li You said goodbye and continued riding home.

Arrive at home.

Dad is digging in a field outside the yard.

"Dad, what do you want to plant in the soil?"

"Spread some vegetable seeds. How is business today?"

"It's okay, I sold it for dozens of yuan."

"That's okay. Take your time."

Dad had been thinking that in a month or two, Li You would close the store in Jiulongxia and then go to the county to open a store.

However, after listening to Li You talk about some of the situation in the store during this period, I found that opening a store in Jiulongxia seems to be able to generate better business.

Therefore, the idea of ​​​​letting Li You go to the county to open a store has faded a lot. Li You is also asked to take his time.

Li You smiled slightly. He knew that his father would slowly change his mind.

Wherever you open a store, it's all about making money. As long as the restaurant in Jiulongxia can make money, my parents will definitely support it.

Li You rode the motorcycle into the yard and parked it.

Then return to the outside of the yard.

Our plum tree is right next to the land where my father dug the soil.

The plums on the trees are growing very well.

Li You picked one off, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

A bit astringent.

However, it is ready to eat. It has a slightly astringent taste, but Li You can eat it.

Eat more.

Li You picked a few more. While eating, he said: "Dad, I have planned an orchard area in front of the hotel. I plan to plant some fruit trees in it. Is there anyone in the village who has fruit trees to sell? Not too big. Big

There’s no way we can get through it.”

If you include mulberry trees, there are now eight types of fruit trees in the orchard. There are only two types left, and the current side mission can be completed.

"It's right to plant some fruit trees. You can use the fruits to entertain guests, or they can also be used as ornamental plants." Dad is very much in favor of planting fruit trees.

After thinking for a while, he continued: "I remember Li Zhong seemed to have said before that he had two pear trees and didn't plan to take them anymore. You can ask him."

"Uncle Zhong? I met him when I just came back. Then I'll go ask him. Go now, he should have returned home."

After saying that, Li You walked towards Li Zhong's house.

After arriving at Li Zhong's house, Li Zhong had indeed returned home.

"Uncle Zhong, I heard from my dad that you have two pear trees and you don't plan to keep them anymore. Is that right?"

Li Zhong nodded and said: "There are two pear trees that I don't want to take anymore. What's the matter, Xiaoyou?"

Li You said: "How big is the tree?"

Li Zhongdao: "It's not big. The trunk is as thick as an arm and more than two meters high."

Li You's eyes lit up. The size was just right. He then said, "Uncle Zhong, if you don't want it anymore, sell it to me. I plan to plant some fruit trees in front of my hotel."

Li Zhongdao: "It's really good to plant some fruit trees in front of your hotel. However, you can just dig them out and plant them."

Li You said: "Uncle Zhong, that's not possible, I still have to give you some."

Li Zhong waved his hand and said: "Then I didn't plan to ask for it in the first place. What kind of money should I give you? Come on, I'll take you to see the tree first."

Li You agreed.

The two people arrived at a field not far away.

Li Zhong pointed to the two pear trees and said: "These are the two pear trees. They are both yellow-skinned. Our family doesn't like eating pears very much. So, we plan to dig up these two pear trees and replace them with other fruit trees."

Li You took a closer look and saw that the two pear trees were growing very well.

"Uncle Zhong, these two trees have grown so well. I'd be sorry if I didn't give you any money!"

Li Zhong said with a smile: "I feel embarrassed now that you have grown up. Just poach him, poach him, just poach him."

Li You laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll dig it early tomorrow morning."

Li Zhong nodded, "Okay."

Li You said again: "Uncle Zhong, haven't you made dinner yet? Why don't you go to my house to eat? I'll cook beef noodles for you."

Li Zhong shook his head, "No, no. Xiaoyou, you're welcome."

Li You said: "I'm not being polite. I just want you and Aunt Chen to have a taste of my craftsmanship. How do you think my craftsmanship is? Is it suitable for opening a shop? Let's go, Uncle Zhong. Aunt Chen should be at home too, right? I'll call her.

."

Li Zhong usually only has his wife and he at home.

Hearing what Li You said, Li Zhong hesitated a little. He really wanted to try Li You's craftsmanship.

Finally, he nodded and said: "That's OK. Then I'll try your craft tonight."

Li You smiled and said: "That's right. I'll call Aunt Chen."

Aunt Chen's name was Chen Jiying. After hearing Li You explain the situation and seeing that Li Zhong had agreed, she said happily: "Okay, let's try your craft tonight."

The three of them returned to Li You's house together.

Dad has finished digging the soil.

When Li You explained the situation, his parents naturally welcomed Li Zhong and his wife very much.

Dad smiled and said: "I wonder where this kid learned his skills? The noodles he cooks now are indeed very delicious."

Li Zhongdao: "Then we have to look forward to it."

Li You smiled and said: "Then I'll go prepare it first. In addition to the beef noodles, I'll also fry some shredded potatoes."

Li You walked into the kitchen and started preparing.

Mainly shred potatoes.

If there are more people, increase the portion of shredded potatoes.

Using an exquisite kitchen knife to cut potatoes into shredded potatoes is much easier than using an ordinary kitchen knife.

After some operations, all preparations are completed.

Light the fire, wash the pot, and get ready to stir-fry.

This traditional firewood stove in rural areas is very easy to use.

Li Youting likes to use it.

Using a wood-fired stove for cooking and cooking is much more life-like than using a rice cooker or a natural gas or gas stove for cooking.

After another operation, the super large portion of fried shredded potatoes came out of the pot.

Next is beef noodles.

The portion is also bigger, and the beef is more generous.

Soon after, five large bowls of beef noodles with lots of beef were also served.

Let’s eat.
Chapter completed!
