Of course Li You and Ye Shengge also ate.

After eating slowly, rest for a while.

The other guests also finished eating one after another. Just like at noon, all the dishes on the table were eaten very cleanly.

The host doesn’t have to worry about leftovers at all.

All the guests are satisfied as never before. What if they want to eat the dishes cooked by Master Li You again in the future?

Simple.

Just go to Master Li You's restaurant in Jiulongxia to eat.

Of course, the guests already know that Li You opened a restaurant in Jiulong Gorge.

This surprised all the guests.

Originally, the guests all thought that it would be difficult to eat Li You's cooking in the future, and they all felt very regretful.

But I soon learned that Li You opened a restaurant in Jiulong Gorge. If you want to eat Li You's cooking in the future, you can go to Jiulong Gorge to eat at any time.

This is a huge surprise for the guests.

Xie Yuanhui walked up to Li You and said, "Master Li, you have worked hard today. I will transfer the money to you."

At noon and evening, the total cost is 1,180 yuan per table, 22 tables in total.

So, the total is 1 yuan.

After receiving the money, Li You smiled and said: "I've received it, thank you very much, uncle."

Xie Yuanhui said repeatedly: "No, no, we should be the ones saying thank you to Master Li."

Xie Wanxiang, Xie Yuanhui's brother and two sisters also came over to express their gratitude to Li You.

Li You told everyone not to thank him, saying that it was appropriate. Then he said goodbye and said he was going back to Jiulong Gorge.

Xie Wanxiang, Xie Yuanhui and other hosts knew that Li You had been delayed for too long today, so they did not let Li You play for a while. Instead, they took out four watermelons and asked Li You to take them home to eat.

Li You couldn't refuse and accepted.

Putting the watermelon into the storage basket on the rear frame of the motorcycle, Li You and Ye Shengge got on the motorcycle one after another.

Xie Wanxiang, Xie Yuanhui and other hosts, as well as Luo Yunlin, Xie Wenzhong, Chen Wendong and other guests were all seeing each other off outside the courtyard.

As everyone said goodbye, Li You drove away slowly on his motorcycle.

It's seven o'clock in the evening now, and it won't get dark after returning to Jiulong Gorge.

……

Forty minutes later, the two people returned to Jiulong Gorge.

There are no customers in the store.

Because Li You prepared the salted braised white rice this morning, as well as the braised chicken and braised chicken feet, and they were all sold out by noon today.

Closed tonight.

Some customers who came to the store before learned that the store was closed tonight, and they all left with great regret.

It seems that Boss Li You will have dinner at Shanghe Village and then come back, so there is nothing we can do.

Whether it is the guests at noon today or the guests who came and went back in the evening, everyone is talking about today's banquet at Xie Wanxiang's family in Qingshui Shanghe Village.

Everyone is very interested in this.

Ling Xiaoru has come back. She still makes her own food in the studio in the town and comes back after eating.

Li You and Ye Shengge each carried two watermelons upstairs.

Ling Xiaoru was still curled up on the sofa watching TV. When she saw the two people coming up, she said, "There's watermelon again!"

Li You nodded, "Thank you, old man, for taking it. The whole family is too polite."

I brought two watermelons back last night and only ate half of them. The remaining half is in the refrigerator. I will eat it tonight.

Even if the opened watermelon is placed in the refrigerator, it cannot be stored for a long time.

Because watermelon contains a lot of water and sugar, it is very susceptible to bacterial contamination.

Under normal circumstances, the storage time is up to 24 hours.

Li You took out the watermelon from the refrigerator, cut it into small pieces, and the three of them started eating.

……

The next day.

Today is Saturday.

Morning.

After Ling Xiaoru had breakfast, she continued to work in the studio in town.

After Ye Shengge had breakfast, he looked at the vegetable garden for a while and then said to Li You: "Boss, are the okra in the vegetable garden edible?"

"Let me take a look."

Li You walked to the edge of the vegetable garden and found that the okra was indeed ready to pick.

The official name of okra is coffee okra. It is known as the "King of Vegetables" and has extremely high economic use and edible value.

Its tender fruits, slices, buds and flowers are all edible.

It’s just that more tender fruits are generally eaten.

The flesh of the tender fruit is tender and contains a sticky substance composed of pectin and polysaccharides, which makes it taste smooth.

Its smooth taste makes okra unique among all vegetables.

However, it is precisely because of its refreshing taste that many people cannot eat okra and find it unpalatable.

Okra is even rated as one of the most unpalatable vegetables.

"Can you eat okra?" Li You asked Ye Shengge.

Ye Shengge nodded, "I think it's quite delicious. I know many people don't eat okra and think it tastes terrible. But I think it's okay."

Li You said: "That's good. The nutritional value of okra is very high. Eating more of it is very good for the body. Then I will pick these okra and make you a cold okra for lunch."

"Okay." Ye Shengge said, "What about you? Boss, do you eat okra?"

Li You said: "I eat it too. Although I don't think it's very delicious, I can eat it. That special smooth taste is not found in other vegetables. It's good to experience it occasionally."

Ye Shengge said: "The taste of okra is indeed very special."

Then, Li You went to the store to get a vegetable basket and a pair of scissors.

When picking tender okra fruits, you need to use scissors to cut off the fruit stem. Do not tear and pick by hand, as this will easily damage the plant.

The harvesting period of okra is very long, which can exceed three months and reach about 100 days.

Moreover, the ripening time is very short. After entering the harvest period, young fruits can be harvested every two or three days.

During the fruiting period, you can even harvest tender fruits once a day.

The growth rate of young fruits can be said to be very fast.

Because of this, once the tender fruits reach the harvesting standards, they must be harvested immediately.

Otherwise, even if you only wait until the next day, you may already be old.

As you get older, the taste will become worse. Even people who like to eat okra will find it unpalatable at this time.

Moreover, okra is also very easy to turn yellow and old after being picked.

If it cannot be eaten and processed in time, it needs to be kept fresh in time.

It can be said to be a very delicate ingredient.

After Li You picks it, he will eat it at noon today, so there is no need to keep it fresh.

Of course, it is also very easy to preserve freshness. Just put it directly into the storage compartment, which is better than any other preservation method in the world.

Moreover, it can be kept fresh forever.

No matter how sophisticated the preservation methods in the world are, they cannot be kept fresh forever.

Li You walked into the vegetable field, cut off the tender okra fruits that had reached the picking requirements one by one, and put them into the vegetable basket.

By the way, pick some tomatoes, cucumbers, bitter melons, and loofahs.

After picking, walk out of the vegetable field and put the vegetables into the kitchen.

Then he returned outside the store and walked into the fruit orchard. He picked two peaches, washed them, and took one with Ye Shengge. They sat on the rocking chairs, eating and playing with their mobile phones.

……

10 a.m.

More than a dozen cars drove into the parking lot one after another.
