Since the Zhangjia family started breeding bamboo rats, Chen Xin has been very interested in this kind of family workshop farming, and has also deliberately learned about the market prospects of some small fur animals.

As soon as Township Chief Tong said this water mouse, Chen Xin immediately reacted that it was a "muskrat". This muskrat is a small and precious fur animal, and the muskrat incense it secretes can also replace musk to become a precious Chinese medicinal material, and can also be used to make high-end perfumes.

"Township Chief Tong, I'm sorry for interrupting you. Chen Xin listened to the head of the Tong township in the back seat and the more he talked to Director Chu, the more angry she became, as if she wanted to personally send the person who took the pesticide to prison, she felt that there were still some problems worth scrutinizing, but it was impossible to directly confront the head of the Tong township, so she thought of an entry point, hoping to let the head of the Tong township think carefully before making a decision.

"What's the matter with you?" Township Chief Tong was very angry, if it weren't for Director Chu's presence, he would definitely not give Chen Xin a good look.

"Well, did you say that the man said why he poisoned the water rat?"

"How do I know?" Township Chief Tong glared at Chen Xin with unusually angry eyes, "I still want to find out if there is a feud between him and the water rat?"

Chen Xin turned her head to look at Township Chief Tong, and her sensory impression of this old cadre instantly dropped to the lowest point.

"You didn't ask clearly, how do you know that people are killing and playing? How much can it cost to ask?" Chen Xin is not used to him, and he is not begging for a living under his hands, why should he look at his face? It's a big deal that she goes down to catch the car by herself, and the living can still be suffocated to death by urine?

Township Chief Tong wanted to reprimand Chen Xin not to make trouble, he wanted to talk to Director Chu about business. But Director Chu is very keenly aware that Chen Xin must have her reason for interjecting like this, and the other party seems to attach great importance to the question of "why kill water rats", is there really a reason they don't know?

"Old boy, it's not a hassle to make a phone call and ask, and I just want to know what he's going to do in the middle of the night to kill water rats. ”

Tong Xiangchang's words were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't swallow and spit out, which was particularly uncomfortable. But Director Chu couldn't help but listen to what they said, so he had to take out a black mobile phone and call it to the landline of the township police station.

The comrades at the police station were also stunned when they heard the township chief's questioning, and turned their heads and asked their colleagues to ask the person.

"Township Chief Tong, the man said that he wanted to kill the water rat and skin it to sell. This...... Make excuses, how can the skin of the water rat be sold? "The comrades at the police station were speechless, and Township Chief Tong was also speechless.

"Director Chu, listen to it, sell water rat skins! Heh, if you really want to sell it, I'll eat it all!"

"Township Chief Tong, you can't talk too much. The skin is very unpalatable, don't embarrass yourself. ”

Chen Xin said back, turned around and looked at Director Chu on the back of the seat: "Water rats, also known as muskrats, are precious fur beasts. Its skin is not worth much, this man must be lying, what he wants to sell is definitely not skin, but muskrat incense. ”

Director Chu suddenly became interested, looked at Chen Xin with a smile, and asked what is muskrat incense.

Chen Xin introduced him to the economic value of the water rat species, and finally told him that there are special breeders and water rats in China, and this person should have known this information from the outside world and wanted to hunt and kill water rats during the dry season.

"Because water rats can dive and escape in a short time, it is really difficult to hunt when there is water. You just said that the river has only been broken for a few days, so the marshland on both sides has not become dry and hard, and the water rats should still live in the same place. If the time is long and there is no water source, the water rats will have to move, so this time period is really the most suitable to kill the water rats. ”

Director Chu nodded thoughtfully, and did not rush to speak. After Chen Xin finished talking to Director Chu, she turned back and sat down, not giving Township Chief Tong a glance at all.

"Comrade Chen, what do you do?"

"I'm a college student, and I haven't done my homework lately, so I'm going on a trip. ”

Director Chu started a routine with her, and the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention the incident just now. Director Chu also came up step by step from the grassroots level, and he is familiar with the situation in the surrounding towns and villages, and he is even more eloquent in introducing the places worth visiting. also focused on introducing her to several ethnic minority villages in Xixiang, especially the two villages that fought, don't look at the people's customs, but the things inherited by their respective nationalities are very complete, from daily life to the cultural spirit of the nation, Chen Xin was told a full set without missing anything.

Chen Xin had already turned on the recorder to record, and she didn't act sneakily, she opened it in front of the driver's eldest brother, and also asked for the consent of Director Chu.

"You want to come here to collect wind?"

"It's not about picking up the wind. Chen Xin told him about his profession and what he planned to do, "I'm here to come first, and there are colleagues coming over later, they may rent a car." ”

Director Chu was even more curious about Chen Xin, and even asked her about her views on minority culture.

Chen Xin, who was baptized by the information explosion of later generations, opened her mouth to come, and she had a detailed understanding of many things when she was promoting intangible cultural heritage, and she had also been to the village of Xixiang, but when she came, Xixiang had already developed, and compared with the ancient photos she could find, Xixiang had expanded a lot in addition to the layout as it was, and some old houses had been specially repaired.

It's not that the repair is not good, but in the process of repair, the villagers pay more attention to artistry, exaggerate the vision and ignore the highlights of their own culture.

chatting all the way, I felt that time passed quickly, and I didn't have enough to talk before I arrived at the Xixiang Township Government. Director Chu helped her find a guest house to live in, hoping that she could stay for a day, saying that he might ask her for a favor.

Chen Xin, a down-to-earth leader like Director Chu, also met for the first time, although the other party's level was not high, but based on the other party's kind attitude and age, Chen Xin agreed to stay.

There is nothing to eat and have fun on the township government's side, Chen Xin took this time to simply take out her notebook, open the voice recorder, and began to record and sort out the data according to the voice. This one will go straight to the point where it will get dark.

"Xiao Chen, let's go, let's go have a meal together. ”

Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, but still followed.

The place to eat is in a restaurant next to the township government, and the old house has no signboard, but Director Chu said that their family has been selling food here for decades, and it is affordable and delicious.

In addition to Director Chu and Township Chief, there are two middle-aged men in their forties, and the female comrades sitting next to Chen Xin are the only female cadres in the township, who are in charge of family planning work, and are specially called to accompany Chen Xin.
