Sure enough, after the previous video caused a sensation, when Li Han released more materials and videos on YouTube and Facebook, Doudou's popularity increased significantly. Especially with the participation of Chinese people, the video's popularity was further ignited, making YouTube and Facebook even more active. More and more people joined the campaign to support the organic vegetable certification.
Li Han's small farm also gained a reputation in the Chinese community, becoming increasingly popular. The efficiency of the Department of Agriculture was unprecedented, and five days later, the organic certification for the lettuce grown by Doudou was approved. It was 100% certified, allowing the use of the USDA logo, making Doudou the first grower in Kemi Star Town to use the logo. At three and a half years old, Doudou truly made Li Han excited. Doudou's nationality was officially recognized as American, solving the identity issue that had been troubling Li Han for days.
As soon as the certification was approved, Li Han drove his pickup truck to a print shop in town and printed out over ten signs of various sizes. Each sign prominently displayed the USDA logo, followed by the Chinese characters for "Doudou Lettuce" and a picture of Doudou. Back at the farm, Li Han and his brother-in-law set up a ladder and brought tools and a hammer. Doudou and Bao Bao carried a large wooden sign. They arrived at the small wooden gate of the vegetable garden. Li Han set up the ladder, and his brother-in-law handed him the hammer and nails. Li Han nailed the sign to the wooden gate frame, while Doudou and Bao Bao held the wooden sign, and his brother-in-law helped to pass it up. "Brother-in-law, is this okay?"
Brother-in-law Zhou Bin stepped back a few steps, gestured at the wooden gate, and nodded. "Move it a little to the left, yes, that's good. Not bad, it looks nice." "Uncle, come down quickly, Bao Bao wants to see." Bao Bao had been pestering Li Han to print her own picture, envying her sister Doudou.
Bao Bao and Doudou imitated their brother-in-law, nodding their heads as they watched. Li Han climbed down the ladder, patted their heads, and looked around. "The logo is a bit small, but it's okay."
"Um, Doudou looks good." Doudou was very happy, and Li Han smiled, ruffling Doudou's hair. "Let's go, let's hang up the rest of the signs." Li Han put away the ladder, picked up the tools, and his brother-in-law carried several large signs. Doudou and Bao Bao held the smaller signs. At the farm entrance, they hung a sign every so often, all the way to the vegetable garden. They didn't forget to hang a large sign with the USDA logo on the little ox cart, labeled "Doudou Organic Lettuce."
After hanging the signs, the family helped Doudou pick a lot of lettuce, washed it, tied it into bundles, and loaded it onto the little ox cart. Doudou and Bao Bao led the ox cart, and Li Han drove his pickup truck, following with the family. They arrived at the town center square, where a crowd had already gathered, knowing that Doudou was selling the first batch of organic lettuce. The cart of lettuce sold out in no time, and Li Han's mother and sister had a stack of change. The lettuce sold out quickly, and his sister muttered that these people were really something. But with the signs, the price was several times higher, and the quantity was less, which was really something.
Doudou and Bao Bao's little pockets were bulging. Doudou patted her bulging pocket, very happy, wiped her sweat, and ran into a convenience store to buy a lot of ice cream. "Grandma, it's hot, have some ice cream." Zhang Xiuying was very happy, saying "Good, good, good" and took a bite of the ice cream. "Grandma has already eaten, Doudou, you eat it." "Grandma, eat it, Doudou has money to buy a lot more." Doudou handed out the ice cream to Grandpa, Dad, Aunt, Uncle, and Bao Bao.
The little girl touched her pocket, and Doudou still had money to give back to Dad. Li Han smiled, took the ice cream, and patted Doudou. "It's really good, you're so well-behaved, hehe, let's go home, Doudou." "Okay." Doudou nodded vigorously, and the lettuce she grew had sold out.
On the way back, Doudou and Bao Bao were as happy as little yellow birds, laughing and eating ice cream, very happy. Back at the farm, Li Han called Wei Li, Xinya, Kelly, and others to express his gratitude. This time, it was thanks to everyone's help that things went so smoothly. Unexpectedly, Wei Li told Li Han that Doudou's application for organic lettuce had also helped Ronald and many other farmers a lot.
Montana is a remote area with few tourists. The video materials Li Han shot were much more realistic than past promotional materials. The number of video views caused a huge sensation, and many people planned to come to Kemi Star Town to experience farm life. Even some travel agencies contacted Ronald. "Congratulations, Han, Pandora is now the biggest star in Montana."
"Thank you, Wei Li. I've prepared a party for tonight, and I have your favorite beer, Wei Li." Li Han said with a smile.
"Of course, Han, this is a happy occasion. Hey, fresh beer, it really tastes great. I'll come early to help, Han." Wei Li thought about the fresh beer and swallowed, thinking about the unforgettable taste.
"Wei Li, you can help me move the beer." "Han, I can't wait, Han. Beer and grilled meat, it's going to be a great evening." Wei Li was already thinking about the party, and Li Han smiled, knowing that with beer and grilled meat, Wei Li would definitely enjoy it.
"Alright, Wei Li, I'll call Kedi and Bill." Li Han ended the call with Wei Li and dialed Kedi's number, inviting Kedi and Kelly to the party that evening.
Li Han invited everyone one by one, thanking them for their help over the past few days. To prepare for the party, Li Han started in the afternoon. He marinated beef and lamb, fried chicken, prepared salads, and bought cream and Thousand Island dressing. In the afternoon, the whole family pitched in, frying a lot of small fish to eat with lettuce, which tasted really good. In the morning, Li Han had milked the cows and made a lot of small cakes and fresh milk ice cream. Doudou and Bao Bao were very eager, leaning on the kitchen counter, biting their fingers.
Li Han smiled, dabbed some cream ice cream on Doudou and Bao Bao's noses, which made his mother scold him. "You're so big, and you still act like a child."
"Mom, I'm just playing with the kids. Doudou, Bao Bao, come, each of you a small bowl of ice cream, take it outside, but don't eat too much."
"Okay, Doudou will help Dad watch." Doudou patted her chest and said loudly. "Good girl, go on." Li Han's bread was almost done, and he handed the ice cream to Doudou to take outside. The bread smelled delicious as it came out of the oven.
Li Han pinched a piece and handed it to his mother. "Mom, how does it taste?"
"This child, let me try. It's quite fragrant, but bread isn't as filling as steamed buns."
"Mom, these breads are for snacks, um, they taste good." His sister smiled, placed a bowl of chicken pieces on the side, and tried a piece of bread, nodding.
"By the way, sister, is Dad done roasting the whole lamb?"
Li Han handed a piece of bread to his brother-in-law, who was busy making meatballs. "It's quite fragrant. Raising a few dairy cows is really worth it."
"Dad is roasting it, and Doudou and Bao Bao are circling around." His sister laughed, and when they arrived, Doudou and Bao Bao were eating ice cream and circling around the roasting rack, two little gluttons. "Hehe, it should be almost done. These two little gluttons have high standards."
Outside the yard, Doudou and Bao Bao finished their ice cream and were eating grilled meat, their mouths greasy. They were still watching the roasting rack. Li Ping and smiled, cut a small piece of meat with a knife, and skewered it on a bamboo stick, handing it to the two little gluttons.
"Really good, Doudou, have a bite." Bao Bao took a bite and handed it to Doudou. The two little gluttons took turns, and the piece of grilled lamb was eaten up in no time. Li Ping and smiled and patted the two little gluttons. "Hehe, you can have more later. Go help Grandpa get some seasonings."
"Okay, okay." The two little gluttons ran into the kitchen to get the seasonings for Grandpa and came back, each holding a sweet, fragrant bread. "Grandpa, the bread is really fragrant."
"Good girl."
