Chapter 524: Side Effects

Zhang Tong has always believed that food is the most suitable means to open a breakthrough in interpersonal communication. Especially for outsiders like himself and Jiang Hua, it's not good to rush to get some information or something in this small village.

Moreover, Zhang Tong's job is a cook, and things like collecting intelligence and influencing the verdict should be done by people like Jiang Hua and Lin Jie. As long as he is in charge of logistics, Zhang Tong felt that he had prepared a bag of Mai Lisu, which was specially made before his departure, and it took several hours.

"You made this Mi Lisu yourself?"

"yes, otherwise there would be no packaging. ”

"But didn't you say you couldn't bake?"

"Mai Lisu is not a bread cake. ”

"Hmm...... Is that so?"

"Of course, cold-processed sweets don't count as baking. ”

"That makes sense. Jiang Hua felt that the logic of what Zhang Tong said was flawless.

"But this Mirisu of yours smells very good. ”

"Of course, I use Valrhona. It's expensive, it costs more than 100 yuan a catty, and it's still a semi-finished baking chocolate. Dove's finished chocolates sell for 50 pounds a pound. I opened a room in a hotel outside to make these things, so as to save the mess in your kitchen. Zhang Tong looked very concerned about the health of Jiang Hua's family.

Jiang Hua smelled the thick aroma of chocolate in the bag and did not doubt him. Having said that, this kind of thing is really not very delicious outside, mainly because she is reluctant to use a good chocolate coating. The chocolate coating made with cocoa butter substitute has an extremely poor taste and has an indescribably false taste.

"Come on, come on, everyone have a snack. Zhang Tong brought a bag of Mai Lisu to share with the villagers who were chatting over the fire under the banyan tree.

In fact, the villagers are also idle, especially those who have worked in big cities, and they will be very uncomfortable after returning to the countryside. Because in a big city like Shuangqing, seven or eight o'clock in the evening is still dinner. And in such a small village, it is almost time to go to bed. How can they sleep so early?

And I wanted to swipe my phone to see Douyin or something, and found that although there was a network in the village, the signal was very stuck and I couldn't watch the video at all. At most, you can only see what the network looks like.

A group of young adults who can't sleep will gather under the banyan tree to chat over the fire, and because these people who work outside all the year round finally go home, it is also interesting for everyone to get together and chat. And the children at home haven't seen their parents for a long time, so they are tired of being around their parents.

So there are dozens of villagers gathered under this big banyan tree. Originally, everyone was a little resistant to Jiang Hua and Zhang Tong from outside.

Because Jiang Hua was wearing a police uniform (ordinary villagers couldn't tell the difference between the uniforms of the police, the bailiff and the special investigation department), looking at these two people seemed to be coming to arrest the Luo family.

Some of them didn't want to take over Mai Lisu from Zhang Tong's hands, but the children in the village didn't care. Although China's economy has improved in recent years, it has not improved to the extent that left-behind children in remote mountain villages can eat high-end chocolate at will.

Most of the left-behind children are still living in poverty, and their grandparents live in the countryside. Basically, there is no pocket money, even if the parents send some money home, most of the elderly in the family save the money and only leave the necessary expenses.

Snacks are usually only eaten a few times a month. And the unit price will be controlled below five yuan. For example, the Mai Lisu made of Valrhona chocolate of more than 100 yuan a pound in Zhang Tong's hand can be regarded as a luxury-level snack for rural children, no, it should be said that for many urban children.

The rich aroma of chocolate fills the air, and the children drool at the smell of chocolate. If there's one food in the world that's universally accessible and quickly accepted by everyone, it's chocolate.

Zhang Tong asked the child to stand up obediently, and then pressed the person to send Mai Lisu.

Fortunately, chocolate is not of Chinese origin, otherwise most of it would have been classified as traditional Chinese medicine. Because chocolate does have its own unique healing effects, such as calming the mood and relieving anxiety. And most of them should have had the feeling that eating chocolate can soothe their mood when they are in a bad mood.

Zhang Tong used Mai Lisu to open everyone's originally solid barrier. The child ate the delicious Mai Lisu and sent it to the parents, and the parents also ate it together.

I don't know if it's because of high-end chocolate, or if Zhang Tong has a special operation method when making Mai Lisu. Anyway, this kind of Mai Lisu balls melt in the mouth, sweet and delicious, with a strong chocolate flavor in the aftertaste, and the fragrance goes straight to the nose.

After eating these Mai Lisu, Jiang Hua felt that the attitude of the villagers was obviously much better.

She scratched her head, "Is your Mi Lisu really so good?"

Zhang Tong waved his hand: "Chocolate, it can relieve everyone's nervousness." The mood is soothed, and everyone can talk better. ”

Zhang Tong is really not wrong in what he said, but after eating Zhang Tong's chocolate, the attitude of the villagers has improved a lot. Jiang Hua wanted to help Lin Jie, so he asked the villagers a lot about the Luo family.

In the mouth of the villagers, the Luo family is a good young man, not married, but very good to people. I worked as a carpenter in Shuangqing. It's not a very good furniture carpentry, it's just a day-end decoration carpentry. However, now, the decoration carpenter does gun, nail, and cutting, and has a salary of two or three hundred yuan a day. It's very hard, and the decoration materials are more or less toxic. After all, a large amount of glue and adhesive are used in the decoration boards, which contains a large amount of formaldehyde. Now the formaldehyde in the decoration plate is even higher than that of the big brand of environmentally friendly paint.

In addition, many ordinary carpenters do not have any sense of job protection at all, so direct work without even a mask is the norm.

However, you can make money, so many people don't care too much. The Luo family can also bring back tens of thousands of savings home a year. He was already ready to buy a house in the town, anyway, his craft was not difficult to buy a house in the town, and he didn't have to care about rations and land.

And the second uncle of the Luo family is different, the second uncle of the Luo family is already almost sixty years old. At this age, I don't have children, and I can't find a job if I go to town. And if he loses his land, he has no food rations, and he sells thousands of yuan every year in the village, plus a few thousand yuan subsidized by the state, and Second Uncle Luo can still survive. And if you go to town, you will starve to death.

This is also the main reason why many elderly people do not want to live in the town, and young people can go to work. But even if the elderly in their fifties and sixties want to work, the general unit will not want it. Besides, there are not so many jobs in the town for these middle-aged and elderly people. They have become accustomed to living like this in their hometown, so that they are now leaving their hometown to go to Shuangqing to clean toilets and sweep the streets, and that life may be even harder than now.

Even if they have children, some elderly people don't want to burden their children. After all, in the countryside, they farm their own land and eat their own food, and if two old people and one child buy a year's rations in the town, even if they are searching, it will cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to ensure that they are full. Coupled with the thousands of agricultural surplus products and state subsidies, it doesn't look like much, but it is a lot for rural people. After all, those who left their hometowns and went to Shuangqing to sweep the streets may not be able to save 10,000 yuan a year.

If they can't find a suitable job in the town, the old people prefer to stay in the village. Otherwise, going to town wouldn't have been a better place than it is now. Luo Zhong deceived Second Uncle Luo, saying that he had found a job in the town to watch the door in a mailroom, and he was not tired of work, and he had 1,500 food and accommodation a month.

Second Uncle Luo was moved when he heard this condition. Arriving in the town is not a displacement, after all, it is a ten-kilometer mountain road, and it takes three hours to walk slowly. Including food and housing 1,000 and 5 per month, if you save a little, you can save more than 10,000 a year. I'm also older, and I can still work now. I don't have children, so I have to save more money while I can still do it in the next ten years.

Out of trust in Luo Zhong's nephew, Second Uncle Luo gave Luo Zhong's household registration. Luo Zhong said that he would use this to help him go through the entry procedures, and he could go to work after completing it. As a result, Luo Zhong went for a month, and finally came back in a huff and said that it didn't work out, and they needed younger people. As an apology, Luo Zhong brought a bottle of wine from the town.

Second Uncle Luo was a little disappointed that he couldn't get this job, but he thought that there was nothing in this world that could definitely be done. Besides, he didn't lose anything, Luo Zhongshi was his nephew, and he helped him run away for so long, and finally brought a bottle of wine to make amends. Then it's hard to say anything yourself.

Originally, this matter had already passed, but I met the Luo family. The Luo family was doing decoration, and they were originally working in Shuangqing. Towards the end of the year, a friend introduced him to a renovation job in a town near his home. Although the money is less than that of Shuangqing, I just went home directly after finishing it, and I didn't have to squeeze the Spring Festival bus to go home. The Luo family has a total and is also cost-effective.

And the house he renovated was the welfare housing in the town, and the Luo family slowly learned the truth after a few chats with the landlord. This house was actually bought with his second uncle's indicators. So halfway through the house, he hurriedly ran home and asked Second Uncle Luo: "You sold the index?"

"What kind of indicators?" Second Uncle Luo looked dazed.

The Luo family has figured out the cause and effect, and is very disdainful of what Luo Zhong did. Looking at Second Uncle Luo Meng there, he said in his mouth: "Xiaozhong won't lie to me, he is my own nephew, he won't lie to me......"

At that time, the Luo family was angry, and picked up a hoe from the backyard of the house and went to find Luo Zhong's house. Without saying a word, the two fought. Luo Zhong went to the hospital, and the Luo family is now confined to the house.

The old branch secretary made a guarantee so that the police station did not arrest him directly, but he also sent two young people in the village to guard near Luo's house.

The Luo family was restless at home, because his father brought him a piece of news: "The court has come." Your case will be heard tomorrow. I've heard that Luo Zhong's mother has gone to their village to call someone. If you don't go to jail tomorrow, the people of their family are afraid that they will make trouble on the spot. ”

"I ...... I...... I didn't want to play a heavy hand, I just scared and scared Luo Zhong. Luo Jiayou's eyes were dilated: "Let him return the intermediary money and let people return the indicators." He wanted to hit me, so I blocked it, not on purpose. ”

"You help your second uncle get ahead, I won't say anything. It's Luo Zhong, this little rabbit cub, who doesn't do things authentically. Don't be afraid, the people in the village are on our side. Luo Zhong's even if he called one or two hundred people, it was useless. There are more people than I'm not afraid of her house. I've already consulted with a few of your uncles and uncles. If we deliberately give you a heavy sentence, we will not follow it. It's going to make trouble, and whoever is afraid of it is making trouble. "Some fathers in the Luo family are also very screwed.

Fifteen kilometers away in Wangjiazhai, Luo Zhong's mother Wang Meihua was crying at her mother's house that Luo Zhong was beaten to death, and now the beating person cannot be sentenced Yunyun. Luo Zhong's uncles didn't speak, but their chests rose and fell violently.

"Too much deception!"

"I know, what about the police station and the mud! They are afraid that they will take away the Luo family, and the people of Luojia Village will not agree to make trouble. Do they know that the people in Luojia Village will make trouble, but our people in Wangjiazhai will not?"

"The third child is going to convene people, isn't there a court trial tomorrow? Call all relatives, friends and brothers, one will be counted as one, and I will send fifty yuan to one person. If my nephew was beaten so badly injured, I would not agree to it if I were not sentenced to ten or twenty years!"

"Okay, big brother. ”

In Luojia Village, after Zhang Tong and Jiang Hua figured out the cause and effect, Jiang Hua knocked on his chin and said, "Lao Zhang, go." Accompany me to Luo's home. ”

"How?"

"Your Mai Li has always been effective in soothing emotions, help me go with me to calm the emotions of the Luo family. After knowing what is going on, I am now afraid that there will be a mass conflict tomorrow, and the most terrible thing is not the impact on the court. Instead, there will be a fight between two villages, and there will be serious violent clashes between hundreds of people, and if it is not done well, several lives may be lost. ”

"Okay, I'll go with you. Zhang Tong nodded in agreement. At the same time, I thought about it in my heart: fortunately, I brought enough Mai Lisu this time. Although it does not have any special effect, it is most useful to calm people's minds. It's that the next day I will sleep very dead, and I can't even wake up from thunder, which is the biggest side effect. If it doesn't work, all the people who see the court sentence tomorrow will be given a pill of Mai Lisu?
