Chapter 212 Pier Greening Planning
So the uncle and nephew delivered the meals to the construction site as quickly as possible.
Old man Li called out from behind: "Are you not going to eat?"
You little bastard, why are you running so fast? Are you crazy?
Xiao Huang really chased the two for a while, but he was still small and his legs were short, so he was left behind after a few meters.
Xiao Huang stood there, staring with his black eyes, and called out "Woo woo" twice in grievance.
These days, Xiao Huang likes to hang around Old Man Li at the construction site the most, because Old Man Li would secretly give it meat bones to eat.
Li Erlang turned around and shouted, "Go back and eat."
As Old Man Li was serving his meal, he said, "What the hell are you doing, little brat? Go back and eat."
Only Grandpa Cai and a group of female relatives were left at home. Ever since the accident between the Wu father and son, Cai Junyi contacted his former mentors and good friends and returned to Zhulu Academy to study.
Doctor Huang never showed up again. The Cai family speculated that he was afraid of being implicated by County Magistrate Wu and went into hiding.
At noon, Mr. Cai, Mrs. Cai, and Ms. Zhao, along with the three sisters, Li Laosan and Li Erlang, had lunch in the main hall.
Li Meier served the new dish, "Everyone, try it. This is a new dish that Yu Baoer has researched, stir-fried sea chrysanthemums and cold-mixed sand jellyfish."
Guo Qingran took the initiative to help and served each person a portion.
She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and was also good at embroidery. The only thing she had no talent for was cooking. Her food was either mushy or too salty or too sweet. No matter how hard she tried, she didn't make much progress, so she gave up.
Mr. Cai tried the stir-fried sea chrysanthemum first. “Hmm?” The old man’s eyes lit up. “Great, this sea chrysanthemum can be cooked so deliciously.”
Mrs. Cai also said: "It's fresh, really fresh."
Zhao slurped up a mouthful of the cold-mixed sand jellyfish and said in surprise, "Is this really sand jellyfish? How is it mixed? It tastes so good, especially the coriander, which is a good addition. It's so flavorful."
Li Yuer also likes to eat coriander, especially adding it to mixed vegetables and hot pot. Without coriander, the dish would lack soul.
Guo Qingran said: "If this cold sand jellyfish is served in summer, it will definitely clear away heat and relieve summer heat."
"Yes, Sister Qingran is right. When the weather is hot, drinking a bowl of cold-mixed sand jellyfish and eating small pancakes made of second-hand flour is simply too comfortable." Li Erlang drank another bowl of cold-mixed sand jellyfish and ate two large pancakes. He just felt a little full.
Li Laosan can eat spicy food, so he added a lot of chili peppers. His mouth turned red from eating, but he couldn't stop eating.
"This thing goes well with rice. Can we serve it on our stall?"
Li Erlang said, "I don't think so. Sand jellyfish don't last long. It's cold now so they can be kept for a day. If it's summer and there's no ice, they will melt in less than a day and won't be sellable."
Li Meier felt it was a pity, "It's a pity not to share such a good thing with everyone. I really want to see their expressions when they eat the cold jellyfish for the first time."
Li Yuer was thinking in his mind, if he could make ice, he could also sell iced drinks in the summer. Drinks are the most profitable, and seafood is salty, so it will definitely sell well when paired with drinks.
Li Laosan hasn't been to the dock for several days, and it's Datou who's busy there.
“The dock is almost ready.”
At first, some people were jealous and wanted to cause trouble, but when they found out that the Li family and the Wan family had a good relationship with the popular clerk around County Magistrate Wei, they were so scared that they immediately gave up their little thoughts and dared not cause trouble.
Li Yuer nodded and briefly talked about his next plan: "After the house is built, let Master Wu's team build the dock shop. I have basically finished the design drawings of the shop, and I will hire people from our Tuwozi Village for the small work."
Tuwozi Village is not big, but there are still a few hundred people. Now they live at the dock, and environmental sanitation is a problem.
"Uncle San, if you have time, tell Uncle Jiu to keep the place clean, or they will be fined."
Li Laosan paused for a moment and said, "I see. From now on, that place will be our store, so the hygiene must be good. Otherwise, if it is dirty, customers will not come, and who will sell things to?"
Li Erlang said happily: "Yu Baoer, you promised us a shop..."
Li Yuer smiled and said, "Except for the few locations I have used, you can pick any of the rest. I suggest you choose a location based on your business, because I will define the business scope of the shop.
For example, the east side is farthest from the public wharf of Yuge Wharf, so it is used for warehousing. For example, the west side is close to Yuge Wharf, but it is noisy and there will be dust and smoke from loading and unloading, so it is not suitable for the catering industry. However, it is the first place to come into contact with the flow of people, so it is just right for doing jewelry business.
I plan to do some greening to purify the air and improve the aesthetics.”
"What is greening?" asked Mrs. Cai curiously.
“Greening means planting trees, flowers and plants.”
"Like a wealthy family?" asked Li Laosan.
Li Yuer shook his head. "The flowers, plants and trees of the wealthy families are all valuable species. The docks are crowded with people, and we can't afford to buy things that are too expensive. They are also easy to be targeted by thieves. We should plant some trees that smell good and are not easy to be infested with insects, such as camphor trees. We can just dig them up in the mountains."
For flowers and plants, choose those that have strong vitality, long flowering period, and good smell. It is best to choose those that are interspersed with seasonal flowers to ensure that the flowering period is as long as possible. "
Li Erlang said, "This is easy. There are plenty of wild flowers and weeds in Daqing Mountain. When the time comes, we will spread the news in Fushui Village. There will definitely be many villagers willing to go up the mountain to dig them up and sell them."
Old Mrs. Cai reminded them: "Tell them in advance that we don't want mulberry trees, pine trees, locust trees, or rhododendrons."
The ancients were superstitious. The "桑" in "mulberry tree" means funeral. In Feng Shui, the pine tree represents the gate to the underworld and is usually planted in front of graves. The "槐" in "槐" has the "鬼" (ghost) character next to it, and the "杜鹃" (cuckoo) means crying blood, all of which are unlucky trees.
In fact, in modern society, many residential areas have pine trees as green areas, and there are not so many particulars.
But there is no need to adapt to local customs or go against the mainstream thinking of society.
Li Yuer thought for a while and said, "How about this, Grandma, when you have time to think about which flowers, plants and trees are good, we can just draw up a list, just the species on the list, and then come up with a price and quantity, and mark the price clearly, so that both parties will understand clearly and it will save trouble."
Old Mrs. Cai said with satisfaction: "Yu Baoer, leave this matter to me, don't worry, I, your grandma, have lived for most of my life, and I know a lot of wild flowers and weeds."
These days, the Li family relies entirely on the children to run the business. They just invest money and wait for the returns. After being idle for a long time, she suddenly felt empty inside. She felt more at ease when she had something to do.
Li Yuer and Li Meir, one on each side, held Mrs. Cai's arms.
Li Yuer said: "An old person in the family is like a treasure. Grandma has made the greatest contribution to this family."
Li Meier also said: "We are so capable, it's all because of our grandmother's teaching."
The two of them loved Old Mrs. Cai very much. Hugging the two little ones, Old Mrs. Cai smiled from ear to ear.
Li Erlang, who was standing by, poked Li Laosan and said with his eyes, "Look at grandma, your heart is set on the East China Sea."
Li Laosan didn't care. He took the opportunity to scoop up the last bowl of cold jellyfish and finished it in a few gulps.
Li Erlang's eyes widened in disbelief. "Uncle San, are you born in the Year of the Pig? Don't you know to leave some for me, your nephew?"
