Chapter 208: Zhangjiakou

The snapping turtle thing, if it is really a turtle as its name, the head is strange, the body is also strange, unlike the general turtle king eight and the like are either flat and stable eight squares, or a flat flat shell, but angular, like a small ridge of things, there is actually a mouse-like tail, the first time I saw this thing, I thought it was a prehistoric monster, but He Qi did not feel stunned at all, Yu Jian was also very swaggering, very laughed at me a few words of lack of knowledge and the like, of course, I forgot to say, this is Hengshui, we checked out at noon all the way to the place, and to be more specific, it is a small village on the edge of a town below Baisha County, HengshuiIt looks like a common dry brick house in the northern countryside, and it has been more than ten years to see the color, everyone is not rich, but everyone is full of food, and the fields outside the village are all some small seedlings with sharp children, and the green is really gratifying.

This is a quiet and peaceful place, but this quiet and peaceful, but it only looks like this from the outside, we poured two long-distance buses, and finally entered this village called Zhangjiakou, came out to greet us, is a lot of villagers with sad faces, bald people came, undoubtedly let these people have a lot of hope in their hearts, the original empty and dead eyes, there is finally a little bit of life.

I have to say that in this kind of small place, there is indeed no news that can survive for half a moment, the appearance of our strange faces, soon caused an alarm, we just got off the car to rest, the bald head only said three or two words with a few acquaintances at the entrance of the village, so a short time can almost be described by a few blinks of eyelids, we have been squeezed by the folks who have come out of all corners one after another, and the bald head was pulled by an old man in his seventies and refused to let go, the first sentence made the bald head a little helpless。

"Big nephew, you, you're bringing a customer?"

"This, this..."We are naturally not customers, but looking at those eyes full of expectations, the bald head Zhang Gaozhao also had to hesitate for a while, but He Qi, but he was an insightful person, smiled, and took a step forward and said: "I heard that there are a lot of snapping turtles here, and several of us are in Shijiazhuang to do hotel procurement business, and we are good friends with Professor Zhang. ”

"That's good, that's good. He Qi's answer undoubtedly brought the spring-like vitality of this seemingly calm and peaceful village that actually fell into a dead silence, the cheers almost resounded at the same time as He Qi's words fell, the old people burst into tears of excitement, the eyes exchanged by the men were full of strength again, and the children's faces finally had a lot of laughter, and the innocence that may be hidden in the hearts because of the gloomy face of the adults also once again declared their existence with a playful voice, the bald head looked at He Qi with a complicated face, shook his head, sighed, and his throat shook for a long time, but he didn't say a word。

"Hope is the most terrible thing. Finally squeezed out the cheering crowd, came to the bald head in Zhangjiakou's old house, I don't know why, looking at the bald head Zhang Gaozhao who didn't have much level, actually said such a sentence, the sun was very bright at that time, just like the smile on He Qi's face, but there was no one other than He Qi who could laugh, even if the suspicion of people's hearts was like me, they were also silenced by the cheers that suddenly got a new life from despair, as Zhang Gaozhao said, such hope is the most terrible, we are not businessmen who come to do business, and it is impossible to buy those snapping turtles, this is Zhang Gaozhao's hometownIt's not a place where we can just hit it, we bring hope, but in the end we will still return despair to them, from despair to hope, and then fall into despair again, it is a terrible thing enough to make people sink down.

"Do you want a lot of money?" He Qi asked softly as he looked at the bald head Zhang Gaozhao seriously.

"The current market price, raised to the size of something that can be eaten, the market price is more than 200, even if it is just to protect the capital, it will cost more than 15 or 2,000, that is 300,000. Zhang Gaozhao sighed sadly, shook his head and said, "It's hard to make up this money." ”

"It really has to be a big situation to make it up. "300,000 is indeed a lot of money, I didn't expect the turtle king to be so valuable, I was stunned for a while, this account has been calculated very clearly, I don't need to think about anything, but this number, or big makes me a little stunned, money is really easy for people like us, but it's still that sentence, tens of thousands, maybe you can easily say a few words with your mouth and say a few words, but this order of magnitude goes up again, you need more than just moving your mouth, that is to carefully layout and cleverly design a lot of effort to do things。 But the smile on He Qi's face never changed, he just smiled faintly, as if it appeared in my mind countless times, as if it would not change whether it was night or day, and then, in an understated tone, he said: "But as long as you do it, there is nothing you can't do, isn't it?"

"Can't let them know that I did that!" Zhang Gaozhao was obviously a little nervous, glanced at He Qi in horror, and hurriedly said in a suppressed voice: "This, but my home!"

"Is this our style?" He Qi smiled, patted Zhang Gaozhao's shoulder lightly, looked at the old man standing at the door of the room, and said, "Let us meet your dear father, you can see that he is looking forward to your return." ”

Zhang Gaozhao's father, obviously a silent old man who is not good at words, for our arrival, he only welcomed us in limited words, and then there was a long silence, but I can still see that he is looking forward to his long-lost son, the old man did not ask anything as I imagined, just said lightly to come back, and then eye contact represents everything, Zhang Gaozhao glanced at us, nodded so that he got a relaxed smile on his father's face, and then the villagers who rushed into the house surrounded the old man who could finally get rid of the pressure of life and straighten his back and left the house, only a few of us stood in the hall and couldn't stop sighing.

"Where are you going?" asked Zhang Gaozhao in a low voice.

"Shandong, Qingdao, this place, what do you think?" He Qi smiled and glanced at me, this sentence, of course, was not said to me, but, as it was said to me, but it was not wrong, you must know that I did a case with Zhang Deli in Qingdao, according to the rules of our circle, or according to my heart's evaluation of things, Qingdao, it is true that I can't go again, in case I meet the bitter master, then everything is over, although I will not be taken down on the spot, there is always a chance to escape, but how can I ask for hardship.

So without hesitation, I shook my head and said, "I'm afraid it's not good, I've only been to that place a while ago, and it's not time for people to gradually forget me." ”

"Around here, if you want to say that there is some money to be made, there is only that. He Qi looked at me funny, but he always felt that this guy was a little insincere, it wasn't that he was mocking or trying to belittle me or anything, there was actually something approving in his eyes, which couldn't help but make me angry for a while, and secretly said Could it be that in this guy's eyes, I am a person who is not even so alert? This kind of instinctive thing, he actually has to be praised by him, it is really crying and laughing.

"Then go to Shanxi, the people there are not very smart. Speaking of doing this kind of thing, the bald Zhang Gaozhao finally became a little interested, and when he heard that he was not committing a crime in his house, the interest was even higher, and he thought of a place as soon as his eyes turned, and said excitedly: "There is a little brother of mine over there in Taiyuan, and everyone is a lifelong friendship, and they have been calling me to do things there, and the people over there are really rich." ”

"That place?" He Qi frowned, there was no rare smile on his face, he shook his head, and said categorically without any explanation: "That place, you can't go." ”

"Why didn't you include Tianjin?" Yu Jian also entered the role at this time, tilted his head and thought for a long time, and said with a smile when he patted his thigh: "That place, not far from Beijing, there are many rich people, if you want to get money, I just look there, and Tianjin is a port, as long as the black and white ones are eaten next to the wharf, they are not clean, and it is very easy to get a fortune." ”

"Over there, it's good. As soon as he heard Tianjin, the bald head Zhang Gaozhao quickly nodded his head and said: "Playing with water wheels, many go over there, I used to want to get a car to play, someone introduced it, saying that if you buy a car over there, BMW will be less than 100,000 yuan, as long as you can drive home, then you can make money, we really can't, find a few water trucks, wear police uniforms, everything is solved." ”

"It's a terrible trick. "I was speechless for a while, but I still felt fresh, this freshness is not talking about the police uniform upper body, this is indeed a trick that we have played rotten, what I am new is that the bald brother Zhang Gaozhao finally let me see a little dark ink shadow on him, although this trick is not new, but according to the business done by those peers I see on the Internet, they certainly have similar tricks, but they are used to use it, that is, to wear police uniforms to cheat, and it seems that they have not made any tricks, where is it like us, a group of police uniforms dare to do anything。

After the matter of going to Tianjin was settled, we sat in the house for a while, and a few old people came to invite us to a banquet, listening to the bald head Zhang Gaozhao's posture, we didn't dare to take anything, even if there is no such name as the three masters and two masters, in the face of a few old people with an average age of more than seventy years old, respectful, a little conscience people will not take any shelf, this must always be careful of the thunder and thunder, not to mention, we are a little guilty in our hearts, He Qi I don't know, the smile on this guy's face rarely changes much, but Yu Jian I can see it, although just now when everyone was discussing where to find some money, all of them are very hot.

But in the final analysis, that's just talking, what is the situation in Tianjin, no one can say well, not to mention, how can there be unfavorable things, often standing by the river where there are not wet shoes, the situation is also like this, although He Qi looks at never doing anything that he is not sure of, but stepping on the tightrope, it still depends on a bit of luck, when this is good to use, when, it will really be our turn to be unlucky. This kind of unfortunate thing, compared to the diligence of a few old people, is actually nothing, people's hearts are flesh and blood, I am not bad to that extent, Yu Jian is the same, I am worried that if things don't work out, I don't know how to let these old people bear it, Yu Jian is afraid that he has the same idea, although he is talking to those old people with a smile on his face, but the worry on his face can't be erased and can't be hidden.

The enthusiasm of the villagers in Zhangjiakou far exceeded our expectations, eating hot meals, listening to their heartfelt words of thanks, this meal is quite not a taste, this is some down-to-earth villagers, do their best to entertain us, there is no annoying philistine in the city, and there is no cunning of those legendary small farmers, as the bald Zhang Gaozhao said, what they are asking for is just a capital preservation, the news I heard during the banquet let me have a deeper understanding of the Zhangjiakou breeding snapping turtles, can not withstand the persuasion of experts in the city, can not withstand the pressure of political performance, The honest villagers took out all their savings to believe these lords for the last time, and even the fertilizer money has been invested in this bottomless pit.

Snapping turtles, not animals that can survive in winter, this thing will not eat or drink below fifteen degrees to hibernate one or two, as soon as the temperature drops, it will be unbearable, to minus five degrees, it is almost finished, speaking of which, it is suitable for breeding in the south, where the winter is not so difficult, but in the north, in the face of heavy snow and cold winter, it is simply certain that the game is over, the villagers of this Zhangjiakou also really believe in the experts above, when the weather is warm, they began to raise this thing, almost to the autumn, they were told of this characteristic, at first everyone was raised in front of the turtle king, and felt that there were turtles in their own rivers and ponds, I haven't seen a few freeze to death in winter, who would have known that this thing was so delicate.

"So, we've all been lied to. The bald head slapped the table hatefully with the strength of the wine and said: " The people above don't care about this at all, they want to get results, we suffer these hardships, they do it with flowers, and a few people know, in the autumn, only to say this, everyone is difficult to ride a tiger, so they have to pay a sum of money to build a greenhouse, this greenhouse, as well as the materials fed in winter, the medicine eaten, day by day, are bleeding, and then go on like this, the coffin money is gone, now everyone is thrifty, it means that it can be maintained for a few more days, it is not that it has not been found above, but it can be turned over and over again, it is just a few words, saying that we believe in them, saying that we will solve it for us, and solve it to the endWhen I looked at the newspaper, I realized that I was singing praises of virtue, and it didn't matter if we lived or died. ”

"They really have a face. Although I don't want to comment on this kind of thing that happens every day, I still feel that the bald Zhang Gaozhao's approach this time is not very similar, and I can't help but say: "You can always do something, what's the point of waiting here? If you were our people, it would have been turned upside down." ”

"I did it! Who says I didn't do it!" The bald Zhang Gaozhao finally got out of his anger, and stood up with a roar, if it weren't for the fact that this was a small restaurant where only a few of us were left sitting idle after the banquet ended, I would almost have to hurry up and hold down this guy who seemed to be staggering and drinking a little too much, put it in public outside, this kind of gaffe shouting, if you don't get it, you will turn around and find the police to arrest us and eat the country's iron rice bowl, here, there is no one empty, but there is no need to worry about anything, besides, He Qi also shook his head at me, as if to say, it is not bad to let him vent, after all, the bald guy's eyes are already red。

"I found someone, posted big-character posters, posted on the Internet, did everything, and anonymous letters, found newspapers, and found the Commission for Discipline Inspection, but in the end, there was not even a movement, officials protect each other, officials protect each other!" The bald head whimpered and shouted: " This was originally a bureau, those experts, they were all liars, the turtle seedlings were sold to us, and the equipment of the greenhouse was also sold to us, and when we got the money, we turned around and ran clean, throwing down such a mess and letting us ordinary people pay, they, they just said a few words without pain, and covered up and down together, we, we called the sky not working, the earth and the earth were not working, and we were about to be forced to die!"

"But you obviously have a lot of means?" Yu Jian looked at his bald head in confusion, and couldn't help but say: "Don't you often make some situations, that money is enough, right?"

"It's all spent, what about the people below?" The bald head laughed miserably, shook his head and said: "The brothers below, you also have to support your family, if you don't have money, how many can follow you, without brothers, I'm nothing, I've been pinched to death a long time ago." ”

The bald head looks very miserable, but I am a person who pays attention to details after all, and I have been paying attention to the changes in the expression on his face, and what I can't hide from me is that before this miserable laugh, he was stunned for a moment, and something very complicated flashed in his eyes, which made me quickly make a judgment, I am very convinced, this guy did not tell the truth, although it is very much to expose his thoughts now, but I looked at He Qi, and saw that he was smiling a little strange, besides, this is not the right time after all, I nodded at He Qi and smiled.
