The Rural Life of the Dragon King in the Mountain Village

A night of silence.

Early the next morning, it was still dark.

Xiao Xingyun used the Xiaolingyu technique to lure the fish out of the pond, and then used the water control technique to catch some eels, loaches, grass carp, silver carp, old turtles, etc.

Put it in several buckets, fix it in the back of the pickup truck, and drive slowly towards the city.

The road was really bad, so I drove carefully and still managed to shake out a few fish from the bucket.

Before eight o'clock, the fish were finally delivered to the Taste Pavilion Hotel.

The boss Xie Yuqing and the head chef had been waiting at the gate for a long time. When they saw Xiao Xingyun, they immediately asked someone to carry the bucket off the car.

To participate in the competition today, the ingredients must be strictly inspected before they can be used.

"Chef, do you think these fish are wild?" Xie Yuqing asked worriedly as the matter was so important.

"These old turtles are wild, and the yellow cheek fish are also wild, because their wild characteristics are so obvious. The wild characteristics of other fish are not obvious, but you can try the taste."

The head chef said as he picked up a grass carp on the spot, picked up a knife and scaled it on the spot.

The living grass carp had extremely tenacious vitality. It struggled wildly, and with a snap, its tail hit the chef in the face, causing his mouth to bleed immediately.

"Ouch...it hurts like hell...there's no need to test it. With its vitality, it must be wild. But I feel aggrieved. I have to slice it a few times and try it as sashimi."

The head chef was also angry, and asked several young chefs to prepare the seasonings, and then sliced ​​the sashimi more than a dozen times. The resulting sashimi was as thin as cicada wings and full of elasticity.

Dip it in the special seasoning, put it in your mouth, chew it gently, and your mouth will be filled with fragrance.

The head chef praised: "Hey, the quality of this fish is amazing. It tastes much better than ordinary wild fish. Boss Xiao, where did you catch this fish?"

Xiao Xingyun answered truthfully: "In the pond at the foot of Taoyuan Mountain, people basically grow up eating water plants, which is no different from wild ones."

"Semi-wild fish?" The head chef is an expert. He guessed the truth as soon as he heard the introduction.

Xiao Xingyun shook his head: "No, I think it is wild, and it is rarer and more expensive than ordinary wild fish."

As long as they are not raised at home, they are wild and there is nothing wrong with them.

Xie Yuqing also tasted some sashimi and was not afraid of any parasitic fish at all. She was very courageous.

"It's really delicious. It has a special fragrance. Even without the sauce, there's no fishy smell. It's really strange. By the way, what's the price of this fish? Can it be supplied for a long time?"

"The price is the same as melons and fruits. Ordinary freshwater fish are 30 yuan per catty. Soft-shelled turtles, eels, and loaches are extra. Grass carp and silver carp can be supplied for a long time, plus some small amounts of herring. One thousand catties per day is not a problem. Other fish depend on luck."

Compared with fruits and melons, the price of wild fish provided by Xiao Xingyun is not that expensive.

After all, the market price of ordinary farmed fish is five or six yuan per catty, and the price of wild fish is about twelve yuan, but Xiao Xingyun only charges 30 yuan per catty, which is only three times the price.

Not expensive.

Xie Yuqing, who had long been used to being slaughtered by Xiao Xingyun, immediately said: "Okay, the price will be as you say. Starting tomorrow, you will provide our hotel with about a thousand kilograms of fish every day. When sending the driver to transport melons and fruits, by the way

Bring the fish back."

To roughly estimate the price, three hundred catties of ordinary fish is equivalent to 9,000 yuan. Wild turtles, eels, and loaches are difficult to estimate.

Xie Yuqing was so generous that she directly transferred 20,000 yuan to him, and the extra money was used as his hard work for running errands.

As long as it can be selected as a five-star hotel in this city today, all investment will be worthwhile.

Originally, only hotels in China had ratings, but as a major tourist city in the country, Donghai City has extremely strict standards for hotels.

In the level-by-level selection, if you fail in any year, not only will you not be promoted, but you will be demoted.

The Donghai Hotel, for example, is a five-star hotel. There have been a lot of customer complaints recently. If it fails again this time, it will definitely be downgraded.

The Taste Pavilion has always been a four-star hotel. Whether it can be promoted to a five-star hotel this year depends on this selection.

Xiao Xingyun took the money and left. He had no time to watch the excitement.

At noon, Xian Yuyan had to go to his house to pick up a lancet. She had to prepare ingredients in advance and entertain them.

In fact, when he goes to the city to do business, he can deliver the goods to Xian Yuyan's door.

However, he wanted Xian Yuyan to come to the village more times.

So he didn't tell her that he was going to the city to do business today.

When he got home, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and he went to the backyard to dig some ginseng plants.

At this time, the ginseng has basically finalized its shape. Even if it is irrigated with more spiritual rain, it will not undergo huge changes in a short period of time.

According to Xian Yu Yan's appraisal standards, this is 20-year-old forest ginseng. The market price is 1,000 yuan, and she is willing to pay 5,000 yuan to buy it.

Xiao Xingyun also uploaded photos on the traditional Chinese medicine forum and consulted other drug dealers and ginseng farmers. The price they offered was less than 1,000 yuan. If you buy in large quantities, 600 to 700 yuan per plant is a high price.

"Alas, planting ginseng has ruined the high-end legend of ginseng." Xiao Xingyun could only comfort himself in this way.

The big yellow dog came out of nowhere with a few chicken feathers on its body. When it saw the ginseng, it picked up one in its mouth and ran away.

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you. You have ruined hundreds of thousands of wild ginsengs. These cultivated ginsengs are only worth a few thousand yuan. You can eat them as you like."

Xiao Xingyun washed the remaining ginseng in a basin and ate one himself.

It can indeed increase some dragon energy, but this little dragon energy has little effect on him now.

"You can consider exchanging some ginseng plants with grandpa..."

Xiao Xingyun is still thinking about the high-quality vintage ginseng in his grandfather's yard.

Xian Yuyan arrived and parked the car directly at the entrance of the yard.

"Xiao Xingyun, what are you doing?" She walked into the yard carrying some gifts.

"You're here now. Why are you bringing gifts all day long? I'm washing the ginseng. I'll wait for you to take these ginseng back to make soup."

Xiao Xingyun said, took her gift and asked her to sit in the room.

"I'll buy your ginseng. I'm going to take away a hundred ginseng plants today. I've received an order and I'm in a hurry to make medicine."

Xiao Xingyun said: "This is simple. I will dig out all the remaining ginseng in the backyard first, and then go to the Taoyuan to dig it after dinner."

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll dig with you." Xian Yuyan said, glancing around with her eyes.

Xiao Xingyun understood, hurried to his room, and took out the lancet from the bedside.

After receiving the knife from Wu Laoliu yesterday, I forgot to check it, and I didn't know the difference between the lancet she asked for and the one used by doctors.

Xian Yuyan took the knife and pulled it out for inspection. The blade was only about a foot long and shaped like a willow leaf. It was sharpened on one side. The body of the knife was dark, but the blade was bright white.

Holding the knife in his right hand, he waved it gently twice, making a faint sound of breaking through the air.

With Xiao Xingyun's eyesight, he could only see a dazzling white line.

The knife is so fast.

Xian Yuyan seemed very satisfied and suddenly pulled out a dagger from behind her leather boots.

The lancet struck the dagger with a swipe, and with a clang, the dagger broke into two halves, but there was no gap in the knife.

"What an amazing casting technique, what a strange material. My grandfather's dinner was not in vain." Xian Yuyan praised.
