Chapter 982 - Fragrance
From the moment they ate the first tomato, Ian and the others could not stop.
Previously, although Bruce had treated them to a meal, it was cooked, and the quantity was very small. He was stingy and did not let them eat enough.
Therefore, after they ate the tomatoes, they went to pick cucumbers, sweet potatoes, and so on. Just like a gopher in the field, they picked everything that could be picked. This made Xiao Zhou dumbfounded.
Even the workers who were working in the field were dumbfounded.
Then, the workers started talking.
“What’s wrong with these foreigners? It seems like they haven’t eaten anything in 800 years. They just pick and eat everything they see. Now that they have eaten so much, I wonder if their stomachs can still hold it?”
“The way they eat is really funny.”
“Although many things can be eaten raw, I feel that some things taste better when cooked. Do they eat vegetables raw in foreign countries?”
“I heard that foreigners do that. This way, it’s more nutritious and more comprehensive.”
“What’s the big deal? It’s just that their eating habits are different.”
“By the way, who are the five foreigners that Little Zhou brought?”
There were special farms that were cordoned off from tourists. The tourists couldn’t enter these farms. They had special farms where they could pick the vegetables themselves. Of course, to go there, they had to pay. There were reasons behind this.
First, it was to prevent the vegetables from being trampled by tourists.
Secondly, of course, it was to limit the flow of people. The cost to enter the farm was high, but many people didn’t lack money. What they wanted was a kind of pleasure, a kind of unique experience. Most importantly, the things in the green fresh fruits and vegetable supermarket in Taoyuan Village were too difficult to buy. Since they had come here, they would harvest a lot. It was better than lining up at the supermarkets.
In short, since the Taoyuan Village village had been built into a tourism farm, most of the time, the purpose was, of course, to make money.
Of course, the core principle was still service first.
The tourists who were watching from the periphery of the circle saw the five foreigners in the vegetable farms continuously picking things, but some of the tourists became somewhat indignant.
“Why can those few foreigners go to the fields to pick things while we can only watch from here? Isn’t this discrimination? Is it because they are foreigners?”
“The Chinese have always given preference to foreigners. So, it’s the same everywhere.” There is obviously sarcasm and mockery in their tone.
“Haha, did you notice that these five people look like gophers?” Someone saw the five foreigners rolling around in the fields and immediately found it funny.
“These rough foreigners are very cute.”
Listening to the discussions of the tourists outside the farm, the tour guide, Xiao Zhou, could not help but wipe the cold sweat off her forehead.
She had only brought the five people here for a visit. She did not expect that the five of them would become a sight.
Fortunately, the five of them could not understand what these people outside were saying. Otherwise, they would probably drop the things in their hands on the spot and escape immediately. After all, who would like to be treated like monkeys at the zoo?
Of course, regarding the indignant tone of some of the tourists, Xiao Zhou thought for a moment before explaining, “The five of them are the talents that our company has hired. President Xiao asked me to bring them here to take a look at the base where we grow our products.”
“Oh, they are the talents hired by the company. I thought the five of them were tourists.”
Since they were not tourists, it was natural for them to be treated differently.
Therefore, after listening to Xiao Zhou’s explanation, those indignant tourists had nothing to be indignant about.
What could they be indignant about? If they had the ability, they could also go to work at the Green Fresh Group. At that time, they could stay in the field for as long as they wanted.
Xiao Zhou saw that they seemed to have eaten their fill. She raised her wrist and looked at the time. She felt that it was necessary to remind them that it was time to go to the next place.
No matter how delicious the food in the field was, they could not always stay in one place.
Xiao Zhou walked over and said a few words. Then, she pointed to the surroundings. The five people put down the things in their hands and left with Xiao Zhou.
When they stood up and looked around, they realized that there were circles of people standing outside the fence. Most of them were Chinese. They were looking in their direction and pointing with their fingers. There was a strange look in their eyes.
Ian frowned slightly and asked Xiao Zhou doubtfully, “Why are there so many people? What are they talking about?”
Xiao Zhou covered her mouth and said, “I just told them that you guys are the elite talents hired by our company. They are now envious.”
Xiao Zhou was a smart person. Of course, she picked the right words to say.
Ian believed him. When they heard Xiao Zhou’s words, they said happily, “Oh, is that so?”
He felt that Taoyuan village and these vegetable farms were really amazing.
Now, they didn’t regret resigning from the Royal Forest Group at all.
The conditions here were simply much better than the Royal Forest group. Most importantly, the food here was so delicious that they were willing to stay and work just for that.
After that, Xiao Zhou took them to many of the scenic spots in Taoyuan village. Ian and the other three were amazed and kept saying, “Oh, my God, it’s so beautiful.”
“I want to stay here forever too!”
After walking around, their full stomachs disappeared again, and they could hear the gurgling sound of their stomachs.
Xiao Zhou immediately said, “Then, I’ll take you to visit the Gourmet Hall in our Taoyuan Village.”
Ian and the others’ eyes lit up and asked, “What kind of delicacies are there in the Gourmet Hall?”
Xiao Zhou said, “There are all kinds of delicacies in the gourmet hall. The ingredients used to make the delicacies all come from our farm itself, whether it’s vegetables or meat.”
“Meat?” Ian asked curiously, “What kind of meat are there?”
“Chicken, duck, fish, pork, beef, and so on.”Xiao Zhou replied, “The meat is tender and delicious.”
Hearing Xiao Zhou’s words, the five meat eaters couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. He said, “Let’s go, Xiao Zhou. Quickly take us to have a look. We’re hungry now.”
Xiao Zhou chuckled and brought them to the gourmet hall.
The Taoyuan Village Gourmet Hall was one of the specialties of the Taoyuan Village.
Because the delicacies here were not sold even in the Green Fresh supermarket.
For example, beef.
If you wanted to eat the beef in the Taoyuan Village, you had to come to Taoyuan Village Gourmet Hall. In other places, unless you specially reserved it, it would be difficult to buy it if you had money.
Taoyuan Village’s Gourmet Hall made beef by killing a cow every two days.
However, Taoyuan Village’s Gourmet Hall only made Chinese food and would not make western food.
Before they reached the gourmet hall, Ian and the others could smell a burst of fragrance.
They wrinkled their noses and exclaimed, “AH, it smells so good! It’s really too fragrant!”
“How can there be such a fragrant smell?”
“Xiao Zhou, we haven’t reached the Gourmet Hall yet? We can smell it but not see it!”
Xiao Zhou smiled and said, “There’s still a few hundred meters left. We’ll be there in a while.”
“What? There are still a few hundred meters to go?”
The five of them were extremely surprised.
“It’s still so far away? But the smell has already drifted here!”
“That’s why our gourmet hall is so popular.”
