Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan glanced at each other, and they were surprised that Gu Zheng actually heard their conversation just now, but they still nodded in unison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This can be regarded as an unexpected gain, although it is still uncertain, but at least it is a source, it is even better than the small shop just now, and Gu Zheng is already eager to try it.

The taste of the small shop just now is not particularly bad, but the ingredients limit their taste, there are no good ingredients, it is not easy to become the best of the same kind, although this kind of snack is not like those century-old brands, it is difficult to surpass without ordinary level ingredients, but the minimum must also reach the second grade.

Ordinary level ingredients are not easy to find, inferior ingredients can still be found, the snack festival has seen more than one kind of second-class food, the last Hangzhou food competition, there are a lot of second-class ingredients.

This shows that the use of inferior ingredients is still very extensive, and the first test of Gu Zheng required all ingredients to be above inferior, and he completed it differently.

Gu Zheng had a little smile on his face, if he had a clue, he had to try, there was no punishment for this test, but there was a time limit, and if he couldn't complete it within the time limit, it was also a test failure.

And in any case, being able to make a noodle flat dish that is even better than the snack bar just now is worth a trip to Gu.

"Then can you please tell me where the specific location of this Lejia snack is, I would love to taste it. Gu Zheng did not beat around the bush, and explained his intentions straightforwardly.

Hearing this, Zhao Pingchuan's eyes lit up.

Qisong County is in the east of the ring city, Zeqiu County is in the west of the ring city, if Gu Zheng wants to go to Qisong County, he must go through the ring city, and now it is not early, even if he rushes to Qisong County non-stop, it is also in the middle of the night.

It was just the right opportunity to invite Gu Zheng to their house as a guest. I have to say that after watching the live broadcast of Gu Zheng at the Hangzhou Food Competition, Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan brothers missed the food made by Gu Zheng.

Whether it's the extremely fragrant chicken blood soup or the incredible Golden Dragon Flying Egg Fried Rice, just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm hungry.

Such a good opportunity, of course Zhao Pingchuan didn't want to miss it, he hurriedly nodded at Gu Zheng and said: "Of course you can, my hometown is from Qisong County, and I am very familiar with that side, if Master Gu Zheng wants to go, I can be responsible for leading the way." ”

"There's no need to bother, I have a car, you can go by yourself. ”

Gu Zheng thought about it for a while, and felt that this was a bit disturbing to them, so he didn't agree.

"No trouble, no trouble, we also came by car, and we just had to go back to the ring city, all along the way. Besides, Qisong County is a small place, and the location of Lejia snacks is also very biased, and ordinary people can't touch it even if they go. ”

Zhao Pingchuan said again, and at the same time kept giving his younger brother a look, so that he could also persuade Gu Zheng.

Zhao Pingshan noticed his brother's eyes, and then he came back to his senses, understood his brother's intentions, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Master Gu Zheng, what my brother said is right, if you go alone, you will have to be old for a long time just to find it, it is better to take us with you, and it will save you from running the wrong way." ”

Gu Zheng hesitated, what their brother said was right, but he had only rejected their invitation before, and now he asked them to lead the way, and Gu Zheng was also a little embarrassed.

Seeing Gu Zheng's hesitation, Zhao Pingchuan didn't care at all, and then instigated: "Master Gu Zheng, don't you know, in addition to mixing noodles and flat food, there are also a few snacks that are also very authentic, but we know that they are delicious and don't know where to eat them, you can take us with you, and you can also give us a review of the food of Lejia snacks, which can be regarded as making us gain knowledge." ”

Seeing that the two brothers said so sincerely, Gu Zheng no longer shirked, and went back to settle the money with the driver of the chartered car, and then followed the Zhao Pingchuan brothers to the place where they parked.

Don't look at what they wear very ordinary, but the car they drive is really not cheap, it is a silver-white Jaguar JX, which costs at least seven or eight hundred thousand in China, which is considered a luxury car.

On the way to Huancheng, Gu Zheng learned that the two brothers opened a car dealership, and the main agent was Jaguar cars, and it can be said that all Jaguar cars in Huancheng were bought from their 4S stores.

Because now there are professional managers in charge of the management of the car dealership, the two of them have a lot of free time, and they often travel to the surrounding cities and taste food everywhere, and the two are also pure foodies and have eaten a lot of delicious food.

Speaking of Lejia snacks in Qisong County, it was a surprise that they could find this snack bar.

That time Zhao Pingchuan wanted to go back to his hometown because of some urgency, but when he arrived in Qisong County, the car suddenly broke down, and when he was waiting for the trailer to come, he went to a snack bar on the side of the road to sit and rest, and by the way, he asked for a bowl of noodles and flat food to eat.

Who would have thought that it was that bowl of seemingly ordinary mixed noodles and flat food, but when eaten in his mouth, it seemed to be full of magic, which calmed him down at that time because the car was broken down.

That bowl of bibimen was the best bibimbap flat food he felt he had ever eaten in his life.

After that, every time he returned to his hometown in Qisong County, he would go to this snack bar to ask for a bowl of mixed noodles and flat food, and his younger brother Zhao Pingshan also became one of the frequent customers of this snack bar.

But Qisong County is a poor place after all, the location of this Lejia snack bar is also biased, no matter how good the taste is, it is not famous, every time the brothers go to eat, there are basically no people in the store, and some are also nearby villagers.

Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan did rush to Zeqiu County after seeing the deep-sea mad shark's food reviews about the snack bar in Zeqiu County, but this was also the reason why they were a little unconvinced.

The description of the sea mad shark in that food review said that only this snack bar in Zeqiu County can make a delicacy that surpasses the authentic Shaxian snack noodles and flat food, but in their opinion, the noodles and noodles made by the Lejia snack bar in Qisong County are the food that really surpasses the authentic Shaxian snacks and noodles.

Seeing that the brothers were full of praise for the Lejia snacks in Qisong County, Gu Zheng's interest was getting bigger and bigger.

Regarding cooking, Gu Zheng is not worried, he just wants to find out what kind of ingredients this Lejia snack bar owner uses to make bibimba flat food that is even more delicious than the snack bar in Zeqiu County.

"By the way, since you often go to eat, have you ever asked the owner of that shop what the ingredients they use?" Sitting in the car, Gu Zheng couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan shook their heads in unison, the two of them had often gone to eat before, but they had never asked such questions.

Gu Zheng saw that they didn't know, so he didn't ask more, anyway, when he found the Lejia snack bar in Qisong County, he would know everything after tasting it.

That night, Gu Zheng fulfilled the wishes of the brothers Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan and stayed at their house.

The two of them very much hope to taste Gu Zheng's egg fried rice, and are willing to pay a lot of money, just asking Gu Zheng to satisfy their foodie wishes.

Waiting until the next morning, Gu Zheng, under the leadership of Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan, finally rushed to Qisong County and found the Lejia snack bar they said.

"Lao Hu, here we are again, the old rules, mixed noodles and flat food, three bowls!"

Zhao Pingchuan saw that he was a frequent customer here, and before he entered the store, he shouted loudly.

"Okay!"

After a while, a dark-skinned young man walked out of the store, looking a little shy, at most in his twenties, carrying three bowls of mixed noodles and flat food on the table in front of Zhao Pingchuan and Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng quickly tasted it first, followed closely, frowned, and couldn't move his chopsticks anymore.

"Noodles, home-grown grains, traditional stone-ground sticky powder technology, inferior ingredients"

"Flat food, pork fed with self-grown grain, inferior ingredients. ”

After only one bite, Gu Zheng had already learned the level of ingredients for this bowl of mixed noodles from Ji Ling.

This small shop doesn't look good, and the quality of ingredients you can choose is much higher than that of the snack bar in Zeqiu County.

Ji Ling also directly gave the origin of the ingredients this time, but I didn't expect this to be a sub-species, Gu Zheng found that many inferior ingredients are self-grown, or there are people around to plant and breed, and the inferior ingredients because of their particularity, can not be planted and bred on a large scale like ordinary ingredients, almost all of them are small-scale.

The eggs bought by Gu Zheng, the sesame oil is, the rice cakes he has eaten, and the Komatsu noodle restaurant in Hangzhou are all like this, and this is no exception.

Although this bowl of noodles is not the best alpine wheat or Iberian black pork, the taste of the ingredients is extraordinary, which surprises Gu Zheng, but it is just the taste of the ingredients.

The noodles and doughs made by the traditional stone grinding process of the wheat they grow themselves are not much different from the noodles and doughs produced by the best alpine wheat milling, and in this pork, they can even taste a bit of the fragrance of alpine wheat, making the taste of the flat food filling and noodles more uniform.

If Gu Zheng guessed correctly, the pork used for the stuffing is not only the domestic pig raised by the owner of this snack bar, but also the feed for the pigs is only used in the wheat grown by himself, and nothing else is mixed to make the pork stuffing ingredients reach such a level.

The ingredients of noodles and flat dishes are of a high grade, and the ingredients that meet the test conditions are graded, but ...... The overall taste of this bowl of mixed noodles is even worse than that of the snack bar in Zeqiu County.

First of all, the ratio of peanut butter to chili sauce is not very right, which causes the flavor of the ingredients to overpower the aroma of the noodles. Secondly, the heat of this noodle is not good when cooking, which leads to the uneven heating of each noodle, some noodles are ripe and some are raw, and a bite of the noodles seriously affects the taste.

Finally, this flat food, chopsticks a little hard, will puncture the dough, which means that the flat food has been cooked for too long, resulting in a little nong.

Relying on the advantages of ingredients, the taste of this bowl of mixed noodles can be said to be reasonable, but for a person like Gu Zheng, who strives for excellence, this bowl of mixed noodles can be regarded as a satisfying thing at most, and it cannot be regarded as a delicacy at all.

This kind of taste can't even compare to the noodles made by the snack bar in Zeqiu County, and it is too different from what Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan brothers boasted before.

If it wasn't the Zhao Pingchuan brothers who were lying to him before, then it can only be said that the noodles they ate before and the noodles they ate today were not made by one person at all.

Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at Zhao Pingchuan and his two brothers. The two of them were still eating, but their expressions were not right in the process of eating, and they did not have the sense of enjoyment that their taste buds were satisfied, but frowned slightly.

It seems that even they have tasted that this bowl of mixed noodles is not the taste they had eaten before, and sighed lightly, Gu Zheng knew that he should have guessed correctly.

The level of ingredients is here, even if an ordinary chef makes it, it won't be so bad, so Gu Zheng guessed that there was a problem with the few copies they wanted, it was not the original chef, it was very likely that it was made by a novice, or someone who was not very good at cooking.

After all, this Lejia snack is a roadside snack bar in Qisong County, it is very simple, it is normal for the chef not to change people, not to mention them here, it is the chicken blood soup shop in Guzheng, Gao Changhe is really something, and other people will go up, Gao Changhe is not an iron man, he is there 365 days a year, and he also has to rest.

"Master Gu Zheng, why don't you eat it?"

Zhao Pingshan took two more bites, and Yu Guang noticed that Gu Zheng put down his chopsticks after only one bite, and couldn't help but stop.

"Did the noodles and flat food you ate at this snack bar always taste like this?" asked Gu Zheng rhetorically.

"It seems to be a little different from before, not as delicious as when I came before. Zhao Pingshan nodded, and involuntarily put down his chopsticks.

"It tastes different!"

Zhao Pingchuan, who was next to him, heard this, picked up a pair of chopsticks and noodles, put them in his mouth and tasted them carefully, and the more he ate, the more he felt that something was wrong.

He had praised the noodles and flat food in this snack bar to the sky before, and Gu Zheng changed his mind because of this and came to Huancheng with them, but now this taste can't afford their previous praise at all.

"Master Gu Zheng, you wait a minute, I'll ask about the situation. ”

Afraid that Gu Zheng would misunderstand him and think that he was lying to him, Zhao Pingchuan hurriedly looked at the young man who served them noodles just now, and asked: "What's going on with your father today, the noodles don't taste right, go, help me call him out." ”

"I, my dad isn't here, it's in the store, it's me and my mom in the store. ”

The swarthy young man had a relaxed face before, but it could be seen that Gu Zheng and Zhao Pingchuan didn't eat all of them, and they suddenly became nervous, and they all stammered when they spoke.

"Your dad isn't there......?"

"My mom did it. ”

Zhao Pingchuan was stunned for a moment, and then found out the reason why the noodles and flat food tasted wrong, and quickly turned his head and explained to Gu Zheng: "Master Gu Zheng, this is not the mixed noodles and flat food we ate when we came here before, it was all made by the owner of this snack bar himself, that is, this kid and his father, I don't know what's wrong today, he is not in the store." ”

Gu Zheng had already guessed that this might be the reason, shook his head, and showed that he didn't care.

He's here to find good food, and the quality of the ingredients here is already very unexpected, since the real chef is not there, he can wait until the chef returns.

Seeing that Gu Zheng was not angry, Zhao Pingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked the young man again: "Then where did your father go, and when will he come back?"

"I don't know, my dad didn't tell me. The young man shook his head, he didn't know.

"It's Boss Zhao who has come to patronize our business again. ”

At this time, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked out of the snack bar and took the initiative to say hello to Zhao Pingchuan.

Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan are all old customers of their family, and every time they come back, they have to eat a bowl of mixed noodles and flat food, and they are also relatively familiar with each other, but Gu Zheng has a lot of noodles, and she has never seen them.

Zhao Pingchuan occasionally brings a few friends to their small shop to eat, so the proprietress didn't care too much about Gu Zheng, seeing that on the table in front of them, the noodles and flat food didn't move much, and immediately understood what was going on, smiled embarrassedly, and said with a little apology: "I'm really sorry, our old man is not here today, and I am not as delicious as our old man's cooking, and I will ask a few bosses to settle down." ”

"If this were normal, we would have forgotten it, but today it wasn't just our brothers who came. Zhao Pingchuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "We don't care, but the master who came with us today is a very amazing gourmet, and he has come to taste your old man's craftsmanship." Where has he gone, call him back quickly!"

"Yes, sister-in-law, my brother didn't lie to you, this is the master of Gu Zheng, and he just won the first place in the Hangzhou Food Competition some time ago!" Zhao Pingshan also shouted, and was afraid that this proprietress would snub Gu Zheng, so he deliberately said: "You don't always complain that opening this small shop is not profitable, but as long as the things you make can enter the eyes of this master of Gu Zheng, and you can praise it casually, it can make your business better, and even people from far away in Kyoto will come." ”

"That's amazing!"

The proprietress was taken aback, she didn't expect that the Gu Zheng who was ignored by herself would be so powerful, and looking at the attitudes of Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan brothers, this Gu Zheng seemed to be bigger than them.

"It may be an exaggeration to say that Kyoto is going to be around, but there should be a lot of people around the city, such as Shencheng. Gu Zheng said casually, he is not only a great chef, but also a food critic, and the food reviews he writes are more read by Shencheng.

And after the end of the Hangzhou Food Competition, all the food review articles of the ancient controversy have always been clicked very high on the Internet, and there are netizens who love food all over the world, maybe there are people like Zhao Pingchuan brothers, who can't help but rush over to taste it when they see the food review article.

"It's great. The proprietress was a little pleased, and immediately said: "It's okay, if you are not in a hurry, just wait for a while, today someone comes to buy our land, my old man goes back to discuss the price with them, it is estimated that he will come back in the evening, and I will ask him to make a few bowls for you at that time." ”

"Sell land, what kind of land to sell?" Zhao Pingchuan was stunned for a moment and asked curiously.

"It's not the dozen acres of land that our family has. As soon as she said this, the proprietress was also frowning and sighed.

"What do you do selling land for?" Zhao Pingshan was also curious, he still remembered that he had heard the owner of this shop say before, their family has more than ten acres of land, which is not big, but it has been passed down from generation to generation, and the rice and noodles they eat can be said to rely on the harvest of that land.

"It's not because of our kid. The proprietress sighed, glanced at the young man standing beside her, and then said: "When he was in school in Shencheng, he was a partner, and now it's time to talk about marriage. But the girl is a child in the city, and she doesn't want to marry in a poor and remote place like our Qisong County, so she puts forward a condition that she must pay at least a down payment to buy a house in Shencheng before she is willing to marry. Our old couple summed it up, the house price in Shencheng is so expensive, even if it is just a down payment, we can't take it out, this is really no way, my old man just thought, if not, he will sell the land, so that the down payment will almost be made up. ”

"Mom, don't say it. When the young man heard this, his head lowered, and it was evident that he did not want to talk much about it.

"Okay child, you don't have a burden, our family is your only seedling, you just need to get along with other girls and live your own life, not to mention selling land, if it's not enough, we will pay this small shop." The proprietress looked at the young man's eyes full of doting, and went over and touched his head, telling him not to be too burdened.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, seeing that this is the reason, Zhao Pingchuan didn't say much, chatted with the proprietress for a few more words, turned his head to look at Gu Zheng, and asked: "Master Gu Zheng, the owner of this shop will only come back in the evening, or let's come over again in the evening, anyway, the ring city is close to here." Why don't we take advantage of this afternoon and our brother to take you around the rest of the city?"

Knowing that people have something to do, Gu Zheng has no choice but to come back at night.

But just as Gu Zheng and Zhao Pingchuan were about to leave, the sound of a tractor roaring came from afar, and with a puff of black smoke, an old-fashioned tractor stopped at the door of the small shop.

On the tractor, a swarthy middle-aged man with a wrinkled face jumped down in a hurry, and was about to enter the store when he saw Zhao Pingchuan and them.

"Isn't this Boss Zhao, you came to my house to eat mixed noodles again. He was stunned for a moment, then squeezed a smile, and then said: "I'm really sorry, I have something to do today, and I will personally make noodles for you another day." ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for Zhao Pingchuan to reply, and ran into the small shop.

"This man!"

Zhao Pingchuan was made to cry and laugh, and turned his head to Guzheng before he introduced: "This person is the owner of this Lejia snack bar, surnamed Hu, we all call him Old Man Hu." The noodles we ate before were made by him. ”

"He's in such a hurry, is something wrong?" Gu Zheng nodded, looking curiously into the shop.

"I don't know, I'll ask him when he comes out. "Zhao Pingchuan is familiar with Old Man Hu, and he plans to wait and ask him.

Not only them, but even the proprietress was very surprised when she saw Old Man Hu coming back: "Are you back at this time?"

"I didn't get my ID card, how can I sign a contract to sell land, why don't I hurry back to get my ID card." When Old Man Hu entered the shop, he rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find it, and it turned out that he had come back to get his ID card.

"Tell me about you, you don't have your ID card for such a big thing as selling land. The ID card is placed behind the photo frame of our business license, and I will go get it for you. The proprietress quickly helped him find out his identity, and she didn't complain about him.

"Hey, I haven't sold land before. Waiting for his wife to get his ID card, Old Man Hu finally had time to take a breath.

"Here you go. The proprietress took out her ID card, handed it to Old Man Hu and asked, "How much can the dozen acres of land be sold for in the end, is it enough to pay a down payment for our family Xiaole in Shencheng?"

"It's really strange to say that today the group of people followed me to our field to see it, and they only bought the wheat grown in our field, and didn't want anything else, and the price was the same as the one who bought the land. ”

"How so?"

The proprietress suddenly widened her eyes, and she couldn't believe that there was such a thing in this world.

Old man Hu couldn't figure out what the group of people wanted to do, but in an instant, he suddenly thought of Zhao Pingchuan who he had just met outside the shop, slapped his thigh suddenly, and ran out of the store with his ID card.

Gu Zheng was still talking to Zhao Pingchuan at this time, when he saw Old Man Hu running out with sweat on his head, he opened his mouth and asked, "Boss Zhao, you are from a big city and have seen the world." Let me ask you, have you ever seen someone who doesn't want to buy crops from the land?"

The reaction of the brothers Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan was similar to that of the proprietress at first glance, and it was incredible when they heard about it at first glance.

But when Gu Zheng on the side heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Old man Hu, you don't know what kind of gold is planted in your field, right?" Zhao Pingchuan teased Old Man Hu.

"My family's land, from my grandfather's generation, is the same kind of wheat, it has never changed, how can it be possible to grow gold. I'm not afraid of being deceived, that's why I thought I'd ask you. ”

Old man Hu shook his head again and again, he had lived for most of his life, and it was the first time he had seen someone spend the money to buy land, only buying crops grown in the field. This matter was too weird, and he was also afraid of meeting a liar, so he specially came out to ask the Zhao Pingchuan brothers about it.

"We haven't encountered anything like this before, when you trade with them, pay attention to the money, anyway, as long as the money hits your card in the end, they have nothing to fool you. ”

Zhao Pingchuan saw that Old Man Hu still attached great importance to this matter, so he no longer teased him, and gave a very pertinent suggestion.

"The truth is this, but I just feel a little uneasy, to say that our family's land is worth hundreds of thousands of quick money, I believe it, but the little crops planted in the field are sold for hundreds of thousands, how do I think about how I feel unstable. "Old man Hu is an honest man, and this kind of pie-in-the-sky thing doesn't make him feel very happy.

If he didn't figure out the reason for this, he couldn't get down to earth.

"That's right, Master Gu Zheng, what do you think?" Zhao Pingchuan couldn't figure out the key to it, so he had to look at Gu Zheng and listen to Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng frowned and thought about it, then suddenly laughed and said, "Perhaps, what Old Man Hu's family planted is really gold." ”

"Master Gu Zheng, don't make fun of me. ”

Zhao Pingchuan thought that Gu Zheng was making fun of himself, and smiled bitterly.

"I'm not kidding, if it's more than ten acres of alpine wheat, not to mention the price of selling more than ten acres of land, it is completely reasonable. ”

Gu Zheng shook his head, he wasn't joking anymore.

In fact, at the beginning, Gu Zheng didn't think much about it when he heard that the family was going to buy land, but when Old Man Hu told him about the situation of the person who bought the land, he realized that the crops planted in Old Man Hu's field were by no means ordinary crops.

If you think about it carefully, you will know that the reason why the noodles and flat food in this Lejia snack bar opened by Old Man Hu are so delicious, in addition to superb cooking skills, the most important thing is the ingredients. Needless to say, the raw materials used to process the noodles and noodles are the wheat grown in his family's field.

Old man Hu's grinding and processing tools at home are certainly not too fine, but in this way, they can be made into noodles and dough that reach the level of inferior ingredients, and it is conceivable that the crops he grows in the field will never be ordinary.

If it is a very rare crop, the price will naturally not be cheap, and perhaps it will still be profitable for that person to buy it with only the money from buying land.

"I can't guess anything here, so let's go to Old Man Hu's field and take a look, maybe we can know why those people only buy crops and not land." ”

Thinking of this, Gu Zheng took the initiative to make a suggestion.

Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Pingchuan were very curious themselves, and when they saw Gu Zheng, they also proposed to go and see together, of course they didn't have any opinions.

"Who is this?"

Old man Hu knew the Zhao Pingchuan brothers, but he didn't know Gu Zheng. The Zhao Pingchuan brothers are famous big bosses in the city, and it is definitely not easy for them to treat people with so respect. Therefore, Old Man Hu was also very polite to Gu Zheng, and asked cautiously, "Who is this?"

"This is the master of the ancient controversy, and the first winner of the Hangzhou Food Competition, isn't this also the bifacial flat food that we recommend you to make, and I came here to taste it. Master Gu Zheng knows a lot more than us, and maybe he knows why the person who buys your land only needs crops and not land. ”

Zhao Pingchuan forgot that Old Man Hu didn't know Gu Zheng, so he hurriedly introduced Gu Zheng's identity.

"It turned out to be a master of ancient controversy. ”

When Old Man Hu heard this, his face immediately showed a look of envy. Although he is just a snack bar owner, when he was working outside when he was young, he also dreamed of participating in food competitions, but unfortunately he has limited talent, and it is okay to make a snack or something, and if he really wants to make a big meal, it will be completely impossible to cope.

Knowing Gu Zheng's identity, Old Man Hu was also relieved, in his opinion, Gu Zheng, as a professional top chef, must be well-informed, take him with him, maybe he can really know the reason why people only buy crops and not land.

In his eyes, the person who can win the first place in the Hangzhou Food Competition is already a top professional and an existence he looks up to.

"Then let's take my tractor together, it's not easy to walk in the field, but the tractor is faster. ”

Let the Zhao Pingchuan brothers and Gu Zheng sit on their own tractors, and Old Man Hu no longer wasted time and drove towards his own dozen acres of fields.

Old man Hu's land is on the edge of Qisong County, close to Qisong Mountain, and you can see these more than ten acres of land if you walk less than two or three miles north along his small shop.

Their land is actually very recognizable, because the edge of this land is an inland river, and the channel of the inland river is exactly a "U" shaped bend, and within the bend is his family's more than ten acres of land.

When they arrived, there were more than a dozen people on the edge of the field, most of whom were wearing gray robes, pointing at the crops in the field, and the expressions on their faces were also excited.

And behind this group of people, there was only a middle-aged man in a black suit, probably in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked very energetic.

He didn't care much about the crops in the field, but kept staring at this side of the road, knowing that when he saw Old Man Hu's tractor, he had a little more smile on his face.

The rumbling tractor sounded all the way, and Old Man Hu drove in front of them before stopping.

After getting out of the car, Old Man Hu didn't pay attention to the people in gray robes, and after getting off the tractor, he hurriedly walked to the man in the suit, rubbed his hands habitually, and said hello embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry to make you wait for so long." ”

The man in the suit waved his hand, not caring about these trivial things, but his eyes stayed on Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng got out of the car, no one paid attention, walked to the ridge of the field, squatted down and looked at the wheat planted in the field.

The breeze blows, the ears of wheat rustle, and a burst of rice fragrance blows with the breeze.

"Machine Spirit, what kind of wheat is this?"

Gu Zheng couldn't tell what kind of wheat it was, so he simply handed over the identification work to the machine spirit.

Soon, the voice of the machine spirit sounded in his heart.

"The wheat of the ancient Champa city, a crop comparable to the high mountain wheat, is now extinct. ”

"You're lying to me, aren't you? Of course, Gu Zheng knew about Champa wheat, which was also known as Zhenlamai, and its origin was located in Champa in the south-central part of present-day Vietnam, so it was named Champa. The most important characteristics of this wheat variety are high yield, early maturity and drought tolerance, strong adaptability, and short production cycle. Since the introduction of the Song Dynasty to China, it has been quickly promoted in many regions.

Champa is a special place, although it is located in the subtropics, it can be grown with rice and wheat, and both are good, and Champa rice is also a famous variety.

"I'm talking about the ancient Champa wheat, not the Champah wheat, as you know it now. The current Champa wheat is a new rice variety cultivated by hybridization the day after tomorrow, and it can no longer be called Champa wheat. ”

Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't believe his words, Ji Ling carefully explained to him the difference between the current Champa Mai and the ancient Champa Mak.

After a long period of development, people have continuously improved and replanted, so that it can give full play to its advantages of high yield, early maturity and drought tolerance, strong adaptability, short production cycle and so on. But at the same time, this improvement also made the Champa wheat indistinguishable from the general wheat species.

The real ancient Zhancheng wheat has the characteristics of soft and glutinous wheat in Jiangbei, and also has the characteristics of strong and sweet wheat in Northeast China, and the color of flour is yellowish, which is precisely because it contains a large number of nutrients such as vitamin B, and the grade of ingredients is comparable to that of alpine wheat.

As for whether the alpine wheat, which is known as the gold of rice, is more suitable as a food raw material, or whether the ancient Champa wheat is more suitable, there is no conclusion now.

Because now the ancient Champa wheat has become extinct, only the mountain wheat is still planted in small quantities.

After listening to the machine spirit's explanation, Gu Zheng was stunned for a few seconds, and then became shocked.

It turns out that there is such a big difference, no wonder someone will spend the price of buying land to buy this piece of rice seeds.

These more than ten acres of ancient Zhancheng wheat, as long as they are transplanted properly, can be completely like the immortal rice in the ancient flood space, inexhaustible.

This business, to be precise, is that the man made a fortune.

Finally understood the reason for this, Gu Zheng couldn't help but raise his head and look at the man in the suit who was facing Old Man Hu.

It just so happened that the man in the suit was also looking at Gu Zheng, the two of them looked at each other, and Gu Zheng nodded at him in a friendly manner.

In his heart, Gu Zheng still admires the other party. The reason why he could see that the wheat seedlings planted in Old Man Hu's field were ancient Zhancheng wheat was also due to the identification ability of the machine spirit, but the other party obviously discovered it by accident, and bought all the ancient Zhancheng wheat in this field without saying a word.

It's just that Gu Zheng's friendly gesture didn't make the man in the suit relax his vigilance, and his eyes were still full of vigilance when he looked at Gu Zheng.

"Master Gu Zheng, have you found out the reason why those people only buy the crops in this field and not the land?"

Zhao Pingchuan looked at it for a long time and didn't find any difference between the wheat in this field and the ordinary wheat, but when he saw that Gu Zheng seemed to have eyebrows, he asked curiously.

"Well, I kind of know why they did it. Gu Zheng also withdrew his gaze at Old Man Hu and the man in the suit, and nodded.

"Really, Master Gu Zheng, you can see it!"

Without waiting for Zhao Pingchuan to speak, Zhao Pingshan, who had learned from Gu Zheng to squat on the ridge of the field and carefully observe the wheat seedlings in the field, exclaimed first, stood up abruptly, looked at Gu Zheng and said, "What is the magic of this wheat, which can compare to the value of this land?"

"I don't know if you've heard of Gu Zhanchengmai?"

Gu Zheng smiled and asked rhetorically.

Zhao Pingchuan and the brothers shook their heads, if they find a car to come over and let their brothers tell what brand and price it is, then they are familiar with the road, but if they want to ask them about the crops in the field, it will be difficult for strong people.

Gu Zheng didn't sell Guan Zi either, and when he saw them shaking their heads, he repeated the results of the appraisal of Gu Zhancheng Mai just now.

Qisong County is not a developed county, even the land in the county is not valuable, and the price of one mu is only thirty or forty thousand, which is equivalent to saying that this mu is worth thirty or forty thousand yuan?"

"This is wheat seedlings, it is clearly gold!"

is to plant some cash crops, and the price of an acre of land is not so high, unless you are ruthless in the period of speculation, but it is not so expensive, so the Zhao Pingchuan brothers immediately shouted after hearing it, and both of them couldn't believe it.

"Otherwise, you think that in a really good restaurant such as a three-star Michelin restaurant, why is the price of a dish so expensive, the main cost is in the invisible place, such as in the choice of ingredients. Gu Zheng let out a light breath and shrugged his shoulders.

Even if they don't believe it, it's the truth.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the more delicious the ingredients, the more difficult it is to obtain, the price will continue to rise, as the so-called rare is expensive. In the earliest days, alpine wheat was also very cheap, only a little more expensive than ordinary rice varieties. However, because of the difficulty of planting alpine wheat and the harsh requirements for the growth environment and climatic conditions, the yield has decreased year by year, and the price has been speculated step by step, and finally it has won the title of gold in rice.

Take the current ten acres of ancient Zhancheng wheat as an example, if there are only these ten acres of ancient Zhancheng wheat in the world, then once its value is discovered, the price will be immediately copied. At that time, not to mention the price of one acre of land, it was ten acres of land, and it may not be possible to exchange one acre of ancient Zhancheng wheat seeds.

However, after all, the ancient Champa wheat is not as delicate as the alpine wheat, and it is destined to be easy to promote due to its high yield and drought tolerance and strong adaptability.

As long as you are willing to invest in human and financial resources, and there is a suitable place, after a period of time, these more than ten acres of ancient Zhancheng wheat is likely to become a hundred acres, or even thousands of acres, but more is difficult, inferior ingredients are not so easy to take care of, no matter more, it is very likely that it will not be managed, and too much wheat is planted together, under the influence of various factors, it is possible to reduce the quality of ingredients.

"That's ...... too"

Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan glanced at each other, and quickly figured out the reason, and then put away the expressions they couldn't believe before. Zhao Pingshan also glanced at Old Man Hu enviously, a trace of jealousy rose in his heart, and he muttered: "Hey, Old Man Hu, this is really good luck, he has been guarding the land of their house, and finally guarded the treasure." ”

"It can't be said that this ancient Zhancheng wheat is in the hands of his old man Hu, it is an ordinary wheat, and it is not worth a few dollars. But in the eyes of people like Master Gu Zheng, who know and understand goods, it is worth 10,000 gold. ”

Zhao Pingchuan and his younger brother have different ideas, although they are also very envious of Old Man Hu's luck in their hearts, but they are not jealous.

"Brother Zhao is right, a good thing like this can only play its greatest value if it is placed in the hands of someone who understands. Gu Zheng smiled and said to Zhao Pingshan: "In fact, for ordinary people, the biggest role of wheat is to serve as food, that is, we all have a better life now and have a higher pursuit of food, which will make these ingredients expensive." ”

Gu Zheng was talking with Brother Zhao Pingchuan here, and on the other side, Old Man Hu and the man in the suit seemed to have something wrong when he discussed the sale of land.

Old man Hu, who was waiting for the signing of the sales contract with a smile on his face just now, hesitated at this time, and couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't know what he was embarrassed about.
