Chapter 809 Under the Small Counter in the Supermarket
The beauty of porcelain is not only loved by Chinese people. There are many similar lovers in Europe and the United States. Most of the porcelain collected by Kevin's mother is exported porcelain, and most of them are figures, animals, or story porcelain plate ornamental utensils.
"This is a statue of Avalokitesvara." The white porcelain Avalokitesvara has a kind face, a plump body, and is full of compassion. It is rare that it is well preserved, and it seems that the previous owner loved it very much.
"Guanyin?" Kevin didn't know. Although influenced by his mother, he knew some Chinese culture, but not much. Li Han explained, after Kevin listened to it, he wanted to give the Guanyin statue to Li Han. It is a god and Buddha, and it is more respectful than placing it in a cupboard.
Li Han likes this Avalokitesvara statue very much, but it’s not good to invite it back casually. Buddha statues and Bodhisattvas are not easy to ask, with a sincere heart, a heart of worship to Buddha, and daily offerings. Thinking of this, Li Han shook his head slightly. It is easy to send Buddha, but Li Han is not ready. Besides, he is not pious. It is not easy to ask for it. If he has no heart to make offerings, Buddha and God will not invite him.
Kevin didn't know much about these things, seeing that Li Han was unwilling, he didn't say anything. When I came to the study, I was shocked. There are tall wall cabinets on all sides, and the books are neatly placed. There is a spiral ladder next to the fireplace. The whole wall is divided into two floors, about 1.5 meters high. There is an index in front of the wall cabinet, which is very convenient to take out. want books. The yellow leather sofa is placed very casually, but it makes people feel very comfortable. Imagine, leaning on the sofa on a snowy night, holding a book and flipping through the firewood burning in the fireplace, it may be a wonderful thing thing.
"Kevin, your mother is a respectable lady." Li Han sat down and said to Kevin, and the housekeeper brought coffee and snacks.
"Yes, you are right, that is a respectable lady." The butler said with a smile, and Kevin nodded. "Thank you, Uncle Enley," Kevin said.
"This is Uncle Enli, my mother's respected butler." Kevin said, Enli smiled and Li Han nodded. "Good morning. Enli, sorry to bother you."
"No, no, there have been no visitors here for a long time. I think Ma'am is very happy to see Kevin bring friends over." Enli was very gentlemanly and placed the snacks in front of the Dudus.
"Thank you, grandpa, it's delicious." Dudu pinched a piece of pastry, took a bite, and said.
"It's such a pleasure to be loved by the cute little angel." Enli bowed slightly, bowing. Xiao Heihei immediately stood up beside him and returned the salute. "What a cute little bear." Enli laughed.
After Enli left, Kevin told Li Han that Enli didn't want to leave here. Normally, Kevin hired nanny and servants to take care of Enli's life, but Enli still likes to be a housekeeper and manage this small farm a lot of time.
Several little guys left with Enli, while Li Han and Kevin drank coffee.
While chatting about the topic of supermarkets. "Winnie the Pooh and Black Bear's endorsements have spread throughout Montana, and it's worked out really well," Kevin said.
Kevin enters the goods through Wal-Mart and Kroger's channels. With the popularity of Winnie the Pooh and Little Black Bear, the two large supermarkets quickly stabilized, and it became more and more comfortable to deal with the suppression of Kmart and Albertson.
Kmart has lost face and made a lot of money this time. The separation of Royal Circus and Kevin's Supermarket has become a small joke for Kmart in the industry. A big joke in the Montana business world.
When Kevin left, he was almost out of breath from being suppressed, and now he is recovering. Two large supermarkets attacked Kmart in a supermarket in Great Rapids, which forced Kmart to stop and negotiate with Kevin.
"That's really good, oh, Bouton Supermarket, I want to add two more stalls, please give me some advice." Li Han said, he wanted to make a vegetable stall in the supermarket, and talked about it.
"Han, I suggest that you divide a space and paint on the counter, so that the vegetables can be made into a brand instead of being attached to the supermarket." Kevin suggested.
Li Han thought about it, and felt that the idea was very good. The booth was too simple to impress people, which was not conducive to the reputation of the vegetable brand.
Of course, not every supermarket is willing to do this. Fortunately, Buton's supermarket belongs to Li Han. Kevin gave Li Han some advice, and even proposed two other supermarkets and three stores to join in. Li Han declined, because there are not many vegetables, and this new attempt is risky. Although Li Han and Kevin Cooperation, but not a good friend like Liu Ming, unwilling to owe favors.
Lunch at the farm at noon, delicious barbecue, organic vegetables grown on the farm, plus grilled fish, of course sea fish. On a very pleasant morning, Li Han rushed back to Hanke's farm with the children.
As soon as you enter the small building, you can smell the tempting aroma. The cured meat is a kind of push meat made in a pot, but it is crispier than ordinary sauced meat. Zhang Xiuying's taste is fresh and long. The ingredients are carefully selected at home, the seasoning is comprehensive, the fire is perfect, the soup is cooked well, and the cured meat is different. "Fatty meat won't make your mouth greasy, and lean meat won't make your mouth full. You don't need to bite the meat to rot, and the aftertaste will linger for a long time."
The star anise, cloves, cinnamon bark, and peppercorns used in the ingredients are all grown in Li Han's space. It takes at least five or six hours to make a pot of cured meat. "Wow, it smells so good, Roumomo."
The toot man sticks out his little head, and his little nose twitches. "Roumomo." Bao Bao and Maria squeezed in, and the three ran towards the kitchen.
"Slower."
Li Han clicked his mouth, he was really hungry, closed the door, changed his shoes, and came to the kitchen impatiently. "Mom, Aunt Xu, I'm back." "Come back, why have you lost so much weight after going out for a few days?" Zhang Xiuying looked at her son. "No, I lost a lot of weight." Aunt Xu continued.
"Father doesn't eat well." Dudu gnawed on the meat bun and whispered.
"How can the food outside be as delicious as home?" Li Han said, rubbing Dudu's little head.
"This child is like this. When I was a child, I left my grandfather's house. I couldn't stay for two days. I went home arguing, saying that the food was not as good as my cooking." Zhang Xiuying said with a smile, and packed a lot of cured meat for Li Han. , Roumomo.
"That's right, whose children don't like to eat home food." Aunt Xu echoed. "Isn't that girl in my family just, she runs home when she has time, and the teacher called me because of this matter, and asked the reason, as if there is something precious at home."
"What baby, don't you like the food I cook, and you're not used to the food in the cafeteria." Aunt Xu said, and Zhang Xiuying nodded.
Dudu and the villains ate their mouths full of oil and said whining. "Grandma's cooking is the best." Dudu Little Flattery captured it perfectly, and Bao Bao and Maria nodded their heads in cooperation.
Zhang Xiuying became more and more happy. Seeing his mother, Li Han was so happy that he couldn't help saying a few more words. "Okay, it's getting too far, hurry up and tidy up, there's still some mutton left."
"Mom, Aunt Xu, please rest. I'm tired after a day, and I'll clean it up." Li Han said.
"Dudu (baby) help daddy (uncle)." The two little people ate the meat buns and raised their little hands. Maria stood beside the two little people. Although she didn't say anything, she started to pack it up.
Pieces of mutton were fished out, and Dudu took a sneak peek at the father who scooped up the big pieces of meat, and blinked his big eyes at the baby sister. The little baby, wearing gloves, nodded his head, and tore a piece of mutton with his little hands, stuffed it Entering Dudu's little mouth, the villain's mouth immediately puffed up. "Sister Dudu, is it delicious?"
Dudu nodded his head, there was too much meat to eat, the villain held the plate and chewed the mutton vigorously. "Sister Maria." Only the baby boy with gloves can hold the mutton casually without fear of being scalded.
Tear off a small piece, blow it and stuff it into the mouth of Maria next to her. Li Han saw it and smiled, pretending he didn't see it. The three villains came and went for a long time.
Li Han couldn't bear it and said. "Eat less, you'll have big bones to chew on in a while." "Oh." Dudu touched his small mouth, and his greasy dad noticed it. of.
Take out part of the mutton, and use the rest to cook mutton soup. It is rare to have such good mutton, so make a few more. Add the big bones, and the milky white soup is gurgling, full of fragrance.
Li Han stood by the side, always ready to scoop out the soup foam, Dudu, baby, and Maria three small basins, and poured them out one by one. After working for two or three hours, a pot of good mutton soup came out, and Li Han and the three little guys' stomachs growled from hunger. "Dudu go get grandma to eat." Li Han prepared some vegetables and steamed buns, and everything was ready after soaking.
There are two large pots and a stack of large bowls on a table, Dudu and Baobao. Maria skillfully arranges the large bowls. "Father pours the soup." The boiled mutton soup was very clear, with oily flakes floating, and steamingly put it into a bowl. The three little men grabbed the scallion and coriander foam and sprinkled it, and the fragrance was overflowing. "smell good."
"Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Jem, Grandpa Pete."
Dudu jumped off the chair and exclaimed happily. "Mutton soup?" "Well, Dad made it." Jem and Pete did not eat it at one time, and they were not used to it at first, and gradually liked the taste.
"Grandpa Wang, Dudu will help you break the buns." Dudu said, took a big bun, broke it into small pieces and put it into the mutton soup. "Big piece of meat, big bowl of soup, okay."
Pete, Jem and Zhang Xiuying, Aunt Xu greeted each other and came to the kitchen. "Jem, Pi is very polite." The two of them really didn't intend to be polite. They did it themselves and had ample food and clothing.
Large pieces of boiled mutton are stuffed in the mouth and chewed. It is very delicious. The big bowl of mutton soup is accompanied by the meat sheep and steamed buns. The whole family is sweating profusely.
Comfortable, I seldom eat like this. Of course, Billy, Willie, and Caddy can't enjoy it without that blessing, and they don't like mutton soup at all.
There is no way to do this, if you don’t eat, you can’t eat with your head down. The little guys eat the most delicious food, eat meat and soup, and Pete tells cowboy stories when he was young, and Jem feels emotional from time to time.
Dudu and the villains listened very seriously, and Li Han added some soup from time to time. After the dinner was over, Li Han packed up and went back to the room, seeing the three villains obediently standing by the side, having a good time. "What's wrong?"
"Father didn't say selling vegetables, it's a lie."
Dudu puffed up his mouth, and his father said yes. "Haha, when did Dad ever lie to you, I will take you there tomorrow." (To be continued...)
