Farming? I'm making a killing with my fairytale vegetables!

Chapter 123 Packing

Huang Su picked up the piece of chicken, blew on it slightly to cool it down, and then put it in her mouth.

The wonderful taste immediately caught his eye. He politely swallowed the chicken in his mouth and couldn't help but praise, "County Magistrate, the chef at this hotel you found is truly excellent! This chicken stew with mushrooms is delicious."

As he spoke, he picked up another piece of shiitake mushroom. The shiitake mushroom should have been freshly picked, emphasizing the word "fresh." It also had some meat flavor, making it taste excellent.

The county magistrate and the others next to him also picked up this chicken stew with mushrooms as their first bite, because it had left a deep impression on them at first, and now that they tasted it, it was indeed delicious.

"This chicken is really good."

"Mmm, this chicken soup is so delicious."

"It tastes really good."

The others offered their praise.

The county magistrate was satisfied, and hearing Huang Su say this made him very happy. He echoed her words, "That's right. Dingsheng Restaurant in our county is developing better and better, and the cooking skills are also very good."

Huang Su nodded, and then tried other dishes. He was immediately impressed. Even the ordinary pork ribs stewed with radish tasted sweet and delicious.

The vegetable and tofu soup was refreshing and not too greasy, while the vegetables were mild and not bitter. The stir-fried vegetables were also quite delicious.

Even a simple plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes has a unique flavor.

On the contrary, the elaborate dishes seemed rather ordinary, and he didn't like the other home-style dishes as much.

However, Huang Su also understands that skilled chefs are rare in small places, and it is already quite good if a few dishes can be made well, so how can one expect everything to be outstanding?

If that's the case, then the chef at this restaurant shouldn't be working here anymore.

Overall, he was quite satisfied. He wiped his mouth and smiled at the others, saying, "I think Fengxian is developing really well. Take these ordinary vegetables, for example. I can taste the care put into them. They taste much better than the vegetables that were touted as delicious in those Western restaurants. This is because the local environment produces the right vegetables. Fengxian's agriculture is developing well."

"Haha, I'm glad you're satisfied. Our county has indeed put a lot of effort into agriculture, closely following the policies from above..."

The county magistrate was also surprised. He had eaten at Dingsheng Restaurant a few times before, but at that time Xia Shiyu had not grown many vegetables, so he felt that most of the dishes were just so-so. He did not expect that he could feel that the chef's skills had greatly improved.

More importantly, this satisfied the leaders from above, and that's the most crucial thing.

The county magistrate's thoughts raced through his mind, but he showed no sign of it on his face.

The meal was a pleasant one for both the host and guests, and everyone was very satisfied.

Then Zhao Sheng saw someone walk towards him and praise, "Boss Zhao, your meal was delicious. The leaders above are very satisfied."

Zhao Sheng beamed with joy after hearing these words. "Haha, I'm glad the leaders are satisfied. Welcome to come again!"

After seeing the people off, Zhao Sheng and Manager Wu were particularly pleased. The fact that the county leaders liked the food at their restaurant meant that their food was delicious enough to please even leaders who had tasted the finest delicacies.

Zhao Sheng was very happy. Now that he had some free time, he realized that he hadn't eaten yet. He turned to Manager Wu and said, "Old Wu, let's go try the chicken. The leaders seemed to enjoy it so much, it must taste good."

"Okay," Manager Wu was also very happy.

The two were happy, but the kitchen staff suffered, having to salivate at the aroma.

Many people even had the same idea as Sun Liu: why not just buy a chicken and try it themselves?

……

Xia Shiyu was unaware that her family's chickens had once again shocked everyone, while they were still displaying oranges at home.

Oranges shouldn't be piled up all at once, especially those that are to be mailed. They need to be wrapped in newspaper or some kind of protective sleeve to prevent damage.

Xia Shiyu and her family are busy packing. In addition to local businesses, she also has many friends from other provinces who need her to send mail to them.

Ever since seeing her oranges ripen on social media, these people have been eagerly waiting to eat them.

Even my cousin's friend Shen Ge kindly sent me a message, asking me to mail two boxes over. His family has been missing the vegetables he brought back from here last time.

She thought that once she had packed it up, she could take it to these people. It was really inconvenient that there was no express delivery station in the village; she would have to take it to the town.

If we wait until there are more packages, we can have the courier pick them up at our door, but right now there are only so many packages, not too many, not too few, so we'll just have to transport them to town ourselves.

Xia Shiyu patiently packed the food, occasionally peeling off a couple to eat to satisfy her cravings before continuing to work.

Xia Shiyu worked quickly and efficiently. Fortunately, the oranges were large and relatively uniform in size; otherwise, a single box wouldn't have been able to hold many.

She put them away slowly. After packing up the items that needed to be mailed, she would use the newly bought boxes to pack some nicer ones, as everyone had requested this kind of packaging to give as gifts.

She carefully packed dozens more boxes before finishing.

He stood up and stretched, "That's great, the work is done."

Family members were also helping with the work. After they finished, they got up and looked at the packaging with a smile. "Xiaoyu, you know what, it looks pretty good after it's all packaged."

Xia Shiyu nodded, "That's right, this is the high-end feel they want. It makes the price seem much higher after all this decoration."

Grandma nodded, "Yes, that makes sense. You can bring a box of oranges when you visit relatives during the New Year."

Xia Shiyu also agreed with this view, saying, "In addition to sending milk and oil during the Spring Festival, I will also send some fruit to my relatives."

They usually give milk and cooking oil as New Year's gifts, but Xia Shiyu says that giving fruit is a good idea now, at least it tastes better. The milk at home is too monotonous, basically just pure milk and Six Walnuts milk. There are still a few boxes left, and she feels tired of drinking them.

Sending some fruit to eat now would be a good idea.

"Okay, anyway, I'd be much happier eating the fruit you grow than receiving milk and cooking oil."

Yu Juan laughed heartily, saying that sending fruit was a good idea, as the fruit her daughter grew was even more expensive.

Xia Lihua nodded, "These oranges are great. Eating more of them will give you vitamins. Milk these days isn't healthy. Many cows are injected with hormones, and there are additives in the milk. They're not as good as the oranges we grow ourselves."

"That's right, that's right, that's what we'll do then."

As everyone was talking, a person suddenly walked into the courtyard.

Is Shi Yu here?
