Chapter 431: Honored Guest

"What's not to do? Brother Zhang is so good to me, don't you just want a painting of my family, you want a few acres of mountains and forests for my family, I am also happy, my family has a lot of mountains, it is the mountain in the painting, and the surrounding mountains are our family, but unfortunately, there are only miscellaneous trees on the mountain, and you can only chop firewood and pick up fungus, and produce some wild vegetables, hey......"

Xiaoshan sighed when he said this, very depressed.

There are fewer people in the village on their side, more mountains and more mountains, and each family has contracted a lot of mountains, but in fact, no one takes it seriously, and the contracted mountains give them the feeling of being a forest ranger.

The point is that they are forest rangers, and they don't have any money!

Even if you cut some firewood and sell it, every household has a mountain, who will buy firewood?

There are people who want to transport it to the county seat, but a trip is several hours, and you can't go back and forth once a day, and the delay time and gas money are not a small amount.

The hard-earned firewood didn't sell for much.

After all, every household in the city now seems to use a gas stove, who will use their firewood?

People in the village like to pick up mushrooms and dry them, and then take them to the county seat to sell, and people in a village come to pick them up, and they can sell whatever they pick, and they can sell them once after accumulating half a month and a month, so that they can exchange some money.

And this money is the largest income in their village, and at this time, those who have mountains and forests at home will pick up mushrooms in their own mountains and forests.

But it doesn't matter if you occasionally run into other people's mountains and forests, anyway, there are many mountains and forests, and it feels like it's useless.

All the hills will say such heroic words and send Zhang Fan a few acres of mountains and forests.

"Hahaha, do you have a lot of mountains and forests here? Are they all contracted? Can they be resold or transferred to others for contracting?"

"Many, many, who wants the mountains and forests here? Who has a brain to resell or contract, this place is too remote, even if you go to the county to see a doctor or buy vegetables, you have also seen, the RV has to walk for six or seven hours, our tractor has to go for a day, who will come to this poor place......"

Xiaoshan smiled wryly.

This place is really too remote, and the traffic is very inconvenient.

People like Zhang Fan and them, it is estimated that in the past three or four years, several guests have come at once, and the two of them were talking about this, when they heard the little mountain aunt talking outside.

"Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan, the patriarch heard that there are guests at your house, you must come and take a look, let you go to the patriarch's house for dinner at noon......"

In this village, the village chief is also the patriarch.

It is also a brighter person in this village, and it is also a knowledgeable person who often goes to the county seat, because many people in this village will only go to the county seat once or twice in their lives, once to get married to buy something, and once when their son gets married to buy something.

Then for the rest of my life, I will never go to the county seat again.

"Let's go, go to the patriarch's house, the patriarch is my uncle, I haven't seen it for many years, go, let's go ...... together"

Xiaoshan didn't shirk when he heard this, he called Zhang Fan and them to go together, thought for a while that he didn't bring any gifts, so he simply took out two pieces of bacon and sausages from home and brought them over.

The patriarch's house is still half a mile away from Xiaoshan's house, and the mountain roads are not very easy to walk, it is the kind of road that is at most to take a motorcycle, and a few people are one foot high and one foot low, but fortunately it is not particularly far, and soon they arrive at a house with four bungalows.

At the door of the house stood a man in good spirits in his fifties and sixties, and the man was holding a child of two or three years old in his hand, really looking at the door.

When I saw Xiaoshan, I couldn't stop waving at him.

"Xiaoshan, Uncle is here, ...... here"

The man had a face somewhat similar to Xiaoshan, and they were even more enthusiastic about Zhang Fan, and after Zhang Fan and the others walked into the house, they smelled bursts of aroma wafting from the kitchen.

Then I knew that the child that the old man was holding in his hand was not his granddaughter, but his daughter, and this body was really good.

The patriarch was cold and warm to Xiaoshan, and he was very envious of him in the big city.

even boasted to Zhang Fan repeatedly about the mountain.

"My eldest nephew is very powerful, he is the only college student in our mountain village in the past 20 years, and the only child who stays in the big city, the rest of the dolls can't do it, they can't get into high school, in the past ten years, there is no child who has been admitted to our county high school......"

When the patriarch said this, he didn't forget to praise Xiaoshan.

"I heard his father say, Xiaoshan has been mixing very well outside these years, earning a lot of money, sending it home, hey, this kid is still good to study, even friends are not ordinary, you look at it like a rich and educated person in the city......"

"Don't dislike the shabby family, eat and drink first, I know Xiaoshan came back too late, otherwise I started to stew the old hen last night, and today I can only kill a rooster that was born that year......"

The patriarch was humble and asked his daughter-in-law to bring a large table of meals.

Bacon with dried bamboo shoots, the dried bamboo shoots are bamboo shoots that have not been unearthed in the early spring of this mountain, dried with bacon, a large pot of the year's native rooster, the meat of this chicken is very delicious, with the special unique seasoning of this mountain, placed in the middle of the table.

Because here, chickens are already the best food that farmers can get, of course, most of these chickens are grown up in the woods, catching insects in the bamboo forest, and the feed grade is simply a world of difference.

But there were more wild vegetables on the table that Zhang Fan couldn't even name.

He didn't know what the name was, but he just listened to Xiaoshan's introduction, this is bitter green, that is cotton green, and that is bracken, and even some lard flowers.

Zhang Fan has never seen it, not only has he never seen it, but Xu Zijun also kept asking questions about this table of wild vegetables, but he just felt that he didn't know most of the wild vegetables here, and he hadn't seen them?

"Patriarch, do you have a lot of wild vegetables? I don't know any of these......

"Many, we don't grow vegetables here, we want to eat vegetables, there are all kinds of wild vegetables on the side of the road, because there are too many wild vegetables, you don't know that it's normal, you ask Xiaoshan, he was born and raised, I guess I can't recognize them all, we have hundreds of wild vegetables here, just eat them......"

The patriarch was very proud to see that the foreign guests were interested in their wild vegetables.

There are too many wild plants in the mountains.

Most farmers don't have to grow their own vegetable gardens, they want to eat vegetables, there are many in the mountains, and they have been eating wild vegetables for many years, and many wild vegetables that cannot be seen outside at all are commonplace in them.

"Come, come, guests try these wild vegetables......"

The patriarch shouted enthusiastically, Zhang Fan stared at the wild vegetables in front of him, picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, his face changed suddenly!
