Chapter 504

Tian Qingyong sighed: "Back to the mountain, it's been a long time since you've been to the mountain. There are no people on the mountain now. Even if there are people living in some villages, most of them are old people left behind. Those people are not only good at walking, but also at home." Apart from planting some corn in the harvest area for our own consumption, no one has grown miscellaneous grains for a long time. Even wheat is rarely grown, mainly because it is too troublesome to harvest."

Zhang Lan had never thought about it. In his impression, when he went to visit relatives in the mountains as a child, he would often carry some mountain millet home.

Zhang Lan's mother said from the side: "There are almost no people on the mountain itself. Just in your grandfather's village, there are only two or three families in the whole village still guarding it. The others have moved down below or in the city."

Zhang Lan laughed awkwardly and said, "I thought it was the same as when I was a child. By the way, don't there people in our village drive tricycles selling millet from time to time?"

"What they call mountain millet is actually grown on the mountains on both sides of the road. In fact, all machines are used. However, most of the time, people plant corn and wheat first, so that they can harvest and sell easily. There are few people planting it. I don’t know where they get it from, but you often can’t buy real mountain millet when you come to buy it.” Zhang Lan’s father said.

Tian Qingyong said: "Yes, this is different from sweet potatoes and peanuts. Some people in our area will plant some sweet potatoes and peanuts on wasteland, so they can still harvest some. Millet and sesame are different. Basically no one grows them. .”

"Who still grows those nowadays? They are difficult to take care of and harvest. I eat sweet potatoes and peanuts at home, and plant a little every two years. Most of the corn I plant on weekdays is mainly for easy harvesting." Zhang Mother Lan said.

Zhang Lan nodded: "Okay, I understand. From now on, just work here when you have time. Just grow some grains at home and eat without worry."

"You don't have to worry about this anymore." Zhang Lan's mother said.

At noon, Zhang Lan and Tian Qingyong had dinner at a newly opened mountain restaurant on the mountain. Looking at the farm stew and egg mountain leek dumplings ordered by Cai Xiao, who came with Tian Qingyong, Zhang Lan smiled and said: "Eat You don’t have to go to the mountains to eat these things, you can eat them directly at my house.”

Tian Qingyong said with a smile: "Isn't this a newly opened restaurant with more authentic taste? Let me tell you Zhang Lan, as long as there is a new restaurant on this mountain, I will usually rush over to eat there several times. This newly opened restaurant is not Not to mention, the characteristics of the farmhouse are really the characteristics of the farmhouse.”

Zhang Lan nodded: "It's true. When the business is first started, it's natural to use real materials. The bigger the business gets, the more popular it becomes, and the unnatural things used change."

"That's it. Let's talk about that Xuanwu Hot Spring Hotel. Their signature dish used to be authentic pheasant chicken, and the taste is simply incomparable with what it is now. How long ago, I heard that it is now served on the hillside. Surround a piece of land, feed some feed and grain, and just run pheasants. Isn't that just a lie?" Tian Qingyong said while taking a bite of vegetables.

Zhang Lan said with a smile: "You can't say this is a lie, just say whether it is a pheasant. It is raised in the mountains and is usually free-range. It means that feed and grain are used when feeding. Can you say it is not?" Is this considered a pheasant?"

Tian Qingyong sighed: "Actually, it's very good to have pheasants that can be raised purely on grains. Who still does that kind of chickens that were purely raised on the mountains before? How expensive is it to make them?"

"That's how it is, you get what you pay for. If you pay enough, the products you use will naturally be good. But I'm afraid that sometimes you pay enough, but you still can't get good food." Zhang Lan said casually.

An extra-large farmhouse stew, three home-style stir-fries, and a local chicken soup, along with rice and steamed buns, the three of them barely finished the meal.

After eating, Tian Qingyong touched his belly and said, "This meal is good. It seems that I have to come here more often these days. How about you, Zhang Lan? When will you return to Kyoto? If you have time, let's come here more often." Zhang Lan He shook his head and said: "I will leave early tomorrow morning. I have been here for several days, and there are still patients waiting in Kyoto. This is just a fresh meal, and it will be like that after a long time, but this family is used for hiking. The chicken is pretty good.”

Tian Qingyong nodded: "I'll ask later if I can take a few away, but I think it's disgusting. This restaurant probably plans to use chickens as a sign."

"If you don't want to sell it, just raise it yourself. For such a big factory, it's enough to take out a few idle people to contract a barren mountain and directly stock it. As for grains, you can contract a barren mountain with barren land and find people to breed it yourself. It's all done by others. Well, you don't have to worry about this." Zhang Lan commented casually.

As for what Tian Qingyong said about buying grains from the mountains, Zhang Lan could understand what Tian Qingyong had done before.But now that I have so many people under my command, and I usually arrange for the elderly in my family to take care of themselves, is it difficult to get a few cleaning jobs for myself to farm?

Zhang Lan's proposal made Tian Qingyong's eyes light up. He patted his head and said, "The authorities are obsessed with the authorities. I really haven't thought about it this way."

"Actually, if appropriate, it would be most suitable to build a villa on the mountain. By the way, speaking of villa, the house that Mr. Ma Changzhi built by the ginkgo tree was very nice. Now that I think about it, Mr. Ma is also a person who enjoys life. People." Zhang Lan commented casually.

Tian Qingyong thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's true, the environment and layout of that house are very good, and the environment over the ginkgo tree is also good."

"Speaking of the environment, how is the highway up there now? I remember the exit is at the corner not far from the entrance to Ginkgo Tree Village." Zhang Lan asked.

"It's not bad. There are not many or few people who take the highway from there. The main reason is that the road going in is too steep. Going down the mountain all leads to the city's highway entrance. There are many cars passing by, but the highway entrance It’s not that there are very few cars passing by on holidays. On weekdays, there are more cars passing by on this construction site in the mountains.” Tian Qingyong commented casually.

Zhang Lan sighed a little: "This expressway has also suffered from the floods in the past two years. It has been suspended for more than ten years. It was resumed and opened to traffic as soon as it was said to be resumed."

Tian Qingyong chuckled: "There must be a place to prove where the money was used. Otherwise, the illegal misappropriation of post-disaster funds would have been photographed long ago."

Zhang Lan sighed: "Isn't it like this now? It's not so easy to make some money. It's okay for those who work part-time. They earn wages, and other people don't look at them except for mortgage loans. But those who are small bosses just don't make money. , those who beat the autumn wind are always indispensable."

Cai Xiao interjected from the side: "As Mr. Zhang said, it's hard to work part-time. If I hadn't met Brother Yong, not only would I not be able to make any money this year, but I would also be in debt every year."

"Can this also show me off?" Zhang Lan commented casually.

Tian Qingyong smiled and said to Zhang Lan: "Don't listen to her nonsense. In a small fourth- and fifth-tier city like Xiangshi, what's so hard about the Moonlight Tribe who earns more than 1 people a month?"
