Farming with Taobao - C75
Chapter 75 Nameless Dining Hall (25)
You have to do the whole thing.
Li Yannian pretended to go out to look for people to buy them, and carried a small vegetable basket out. Du Mumei was sitting alone in the living room and had nothing to do. After browsing around for a while, she was disappointed to find that the Li family was only a tiny bit big. Apart from a locked room, she walked around for a bit before finishing. At this moment, she regretted betting with someone. Now, she was the only one left in the room. It was so boring.
Li Yannian didn’t actually go anywhere else, she went to her own plot of land to hide since she wanted to go out and hide for a while. There were still dazzling caput dysenteriae s in the fields, but the sweet potato seedlings on the ground did not seem to be affected at all.
Their house was in a remote area with no one else nearby. Normal people wouldn’t be able to find their way here. Li Yannian looked around to see that there was no one around, so she summoned the system out of worry and bought a few things according to Du Mumei’s instructions.
Ginseng was planted artificially in Changbai Mountain, a special price of twenty to thirty grams would only require twenty-five pieces of wallet mail; chicken was bought from farm chickens, less than seventy pieces of chicken had been slaughtered clean; bird’s nest bought instant food, green onions cooked sea cucumber was easily solved, all these were already available in vacuum packaging, it only needed to be reheated once.
But Li Yannian did not expect Du Mumei to quietly dig a hole for him in the abalone patch. She did not forget that the weight here was about 800 grams, which meant that if she wanted to sell it to the Abalone that Du Mumei mentioned, then she would have to buy 300 grams of abalone, which was close to the concept of two abalones. Just when she was about to take a step back and search the system’s merchandise using the Abalone as the keyword, then pick a tall amongst the short ones and buy as much of the bigger ones as possible, the system suddenly sent out a good object recommendation — Fresh Sea Catch Exquisite Abalone.
She pointed it in and realized why she hadn’t been able to find either of them before.
According to the website of the merchant, most consumers can eat six heads of abalone, that is to say, six heads of abalone per catty. Even better, at most, they could only buy Abalone s, because the larger the abalones, the more valuable they were. There was an old saying in the industry, it was difficult to buy two abalones with a thousand gold coins. Although there was a difference in the quality of the abalone with the same weight, but on the whole, the double-headed abalone was still a priceless treasure that could be passed down as a family heirloom.
It was all Li Yannian’s fault that her horizons were too shallow and she did not see through the hole Du Mumei had dug for him from the start. This was really great now, even the things that the system did not buy, it seemed that her three calls for grandma were confirmed.
Just as she was about to close the system’s recommendation page, a few key words suddenly popped up in her mind — This store has a ocean-going fleet to catch them, fresh sea Abalone s/double-headed abalones, one for each item, please clearly observe the price before filming again!
There was actually such a thing!
The Abalone only cost three hundred to six hundred yuan, and the Two-Headed Abalone’s price was not as high as she had imagined, so the average price was only about three thousand yuan each. Li Yannian held her breath, thinking to herself that if she could buy six, it would not even reach twenty thousand dollars. And if she could win the bet, the five taels of gold that Du Mumei had paid him would also be worth less than fifty thousand.
As a result, the value of the account dropped by quite a bit.
The items were quickly delivered. Li Yannian opened up the package. The abalones were huge, even wider than her hands, and the shop had not only carefully used ice bags to keep them fresh, they had even generously given her almost a dozen fresh little abalones.
Humph! When he thought about Du Mumei’s expression after a while, Li Yannian felt extremely satisfied in his heart. After she packed everything up, she slowly walked back to her house.
Du Mumei was already bored to death, when she heard the door opening, she immediately ran out to look. Seeing Li Yannian looking so at ease, she couldn’t help but feel a little apprehensive.
“What? You’ve already arranged everything so quickly?”
Li Yannian laughed: “Miss Du’s orders, even if it’s difficult, we must think of a way to gather them all. You can take a seat in the room while I prepare lunch. ”
Du Mumei’s face was filled with shock. Abalone s, things that couldn’t even be found outside, even if they were found at home, were things that were extremely rare to come by. Could she really buy them?
But looking at Li Yannian’s expression, it did not seem like she was lying. Du Mumei was skeptical. Just as she wanted to follow Li Yannian into the kitchen, she was stopped.
“Miss Du is the guest, just wait outside. It’s enough with my brother’s help in the kitchen.”
As he said that, Li Yannian called out to the people on the second floor. Mao Dou was really excited as he ran down the stairs happily to the kitchen.
Du Mumei looked up the stairs, but did not see Zhao Xu following Mao Dou down. No matter how infatuated she was, it was not good for her to chase after Mao Dou to someone’s room on the second floor. She could only look away in disappointment.
The voices of the Li siblings could be heard from time to time. It was unknown what Li Yannian and Mao Dou were talking about, but the brat, Li Jun, would occasionally exclaim out loud in surprise, making Du Mumei, who was sitting outside, extremely curious.
“Sis, why are our meals so good today?” Mao Dou asked in a low voice.
Li Yannian glanced outside and covered her mouth as she laughed: “Someone paid us to have a good meal for free. If there’s anything that’s cheap, we will not take advantage of this bastard, so of course we have to take care of her.”
Mao Dou instantly understood. He chuckled and said, “Sis, this person is hateful. He deserves to be cut.”
The two siblings smiled at each other in tacit understanding. They washed the things in the baskets that needed to be cut and cut. First, they stewed the ginseng chicken soup that needed to be boiled for a long time in one pot. As for the other two, it was simple. He only needed to place the contents of the vacuum packaging on a separate plate, and when the abalone was done cooking, he could then heat them up once more in the steamer.
When the dishes here were all done, the ginseng chicken soup on the other side of the wok was ready to drink even though it was still simmering. Li Yannian changed the pot and continued to simmer the soup. Mao Dou quickly helped her serve the dishes.
Miss Du, this is the ginseng chicken soup that you wanted. It’s still hot after coming out of the wok. Li Yannian introduced to the others with a smile.
Du Mumei really wanted to pick on him, but when she saw that the bowl of soup contained chicken soup with a rich flavor, she gently turned the spoon around and saw that the fresh ginseng was cut into thin slices.
She put down the spoon and snorted.
Li Yannian continued to serve up the dishes, “This is the sea cucumber with scallions that you requested. Miss Du, see if it’s still to your liking.”
Du Mumei changed her chopsticks and flipped it twice. It was a sea cucumber, and it seemed to be of decent quality as well.
She held back the surprise in her heart and rolled her eyes. She didn’t say it out loud, but neither did she say it out loud.
Li Yannian endured her laughter and asked Mao Dou to bring over the oily Steamed Bun Abalone Fish: “Miss Du, the Abalone that you wanted, I decided on my own since I didn’t hear what kind of cooking method you wanted. Look, isn’t the size right? ”
Du Mumei had truly failed at this point in time. She turned her head and looked at Li Yannian in disbelief, “How is this possible?!”
Li Yannian laughed: “Our bet does not have a rule, I must reveal the source of the dishes to you. This is a Abalone, it can’t be wrong, right? ”
Du Mumei’s face turned ugly as he sneered, “There’s even a sugar bird’s nest?”
He thought that even if the sea cucumber and abalone had fresh hair that didn’t need to be redone, there wouldn’t be any ready bird nest, right? Furthermore, there were also impurities that needed to be removed. A bird’s nest needed to be stewed, and the time it took for a bird’s nest to be stewed was short. The bird’s nest was tasty, and turned into water as time went by; she didn’t believe that a little country bumpkin like the Li family would be able to serve a good bird’s nest.
Li Yannian asked calmly, “Didn’t Miss Du say that she would wait until after dinner before using the bird’s nest snacks? “Do you want it now?”
Du Mumei thought that she was guilty of not being able to supply enough food, so she found it hard to conceal her pride. She smiled and said, “I want to eat it now, what’s wrong, you didn’t buy it? or can’t? ”
Li Yannian purposely sighed: “Since that’s the case, then I’ll go to the kitchen and bring it over.”
Du Mumei snickered in her heart. This little brat, how dare she play with me? Looking at her expression, I can tell that this bird’s nest isn’t complete. Just kneel down and call me grandaunt.
However, her complacent expression instantly shattered the moment she saw Li Yannian bringing up that snow white bird’s nest.
“How is this possible?” This was the second time she had muttered such a surprise.
“Didn’t Miss Du want to have a taste of the bird’s nest now? Why don’t you eat it? It’s not delicious if it gets cold. ”
Li Yannian purposely stabbed a knife into her heart, but Du Mumei regained her senses. That’s right, she had never tasted any of these dishes before, who knows what kind of person used them to make fake meat dishes that were fake?
Du Mumei suddenly raised her head to look at Li Yannian. Holding the spoon in her hand, she took a sip of the sugar bird’s nest, and a sweet taste of egg white instantly burst out from her mouth. Ever since she was young, she had eaten large amounts of food, so she was able to immediately distinguish that this sugar bird’s nest in front of her was genuine and was not something that was made up of anything else.
Disbelieving, she picked up the chopsticks and picked up the sea cucumber to eat. It was smooth and juicy, giving off an impeccable taste. He tried cooking the abalones again. Other than washing them a little inappropriately, there was still a bit of sand in the abalones meat that had yet to be cleaned. However, the taste of the abalones in his mouth was indeed abalones.
The expression in Du Mumei’s eyes when she looked at Li Yannian became complicated.
“Where the hell did you get all this stuff? Let alone the Li Village, even if we were to go there, we would not be able to buy all these things within a short two hours. ”
Li Yannian ignored her, and only gently laughed: “Miss Du, are you admitting that I’ve won the bet?”
Du Mumei once again had her breath stuck in her throat. She wanted to refuse to admit it, but she didn’t have the face to take back what she had just said. She could only nod with a dark face: “You win.”
Li Yannian laughed and extended his hand to ask for money from her: “Five taels of gold, thank you!”
Du Mumei was so angry that her temper almost went out of her head. “Who was the one that took all my money?”
Li Yannian slapped her head, she almost forgot that she did not have any money on her, but to plunder two words, although it was the truth, Li Yannian did not recognize it either.
“Miss Du, don’t forget, the money you gave me was for saving you, your coachman, and that horse’s medical fees. “Then today’s five grains of gold …”
“I’ll give it to my family the moment they arrive!” Du Mumei said, flustered and exasperated.
Li Yannian immediately brought a smile to her face. “Since that’s the case, then I won’t be polite. Miss Du will eat, eat, and not eat anymore. The food will become cold in a while. ”
Just when Du Mumei wanted to say that she was not going to eat, she suddenly thought of something. Why did she not eat the dishes that she spent money on? Instead, why did she give the Li family this little girl a free ride? As if he had two stomachs, he picked up the rice bowl and started to scoop up the rice angrily.
“Dou Dou, go and call your Big Brother Xu over. We’re about to start eating as well.”
The moment Li Yannian’s words fell, Du Mumei looked over in alarm, “These are all things that I spent money on, there’s no part of you guys here.”
Li Yannian laughed: “Don’t worry, we won’t snatch yours, we have our own food to eat.”
While pulling the small table, he turned around and brought out a plate of fried chicken leg mushrooms, fried prawns and a plate of fried tofu from the kitchen.
Zhao Xu and Mao Dou quickly went downstairs and washed their hands. They quietly sat down and waited for the meal to start. Although Du Mumei was still sitting on the side, the three people were chatting and laughing as if they didn’t see her. Li Yannian had been busy peeling the prawns for Mao Dou and Zhao Xu, and he couldn’t even be bothered to take care of Du Mumei.
Du Mumei was sitting on the unwelcome piece of land.
She took a look at the desolation on her side, and then looked at the warmth on their side. Even the delicacies of the sea and the mountains had all lost their flavor.
It tasted like chewing wax.
Du Mumei put down her chopsticks, suddenly feeling a little regretful. It would have been great if she didn’t have a fit of anger towards her just now.
