Chapter 182: Miao Village (I)
"Brother Zhao, this is Ah Bao, it's my old friend, he specializes in the business of Xingyue Bodhi and Huanghuali here, and he is a local here......"
After chatting with Zhao Hongtao in the sofa area of the lobby for a while, Man Jun answered the phone and went out, and after about four or five minutes, a middle-aged man with a small stature followed behind him, about thirty years old, with a pair of glasses on his face, looking very gentle.
"Bao, this is Boss Zhao, my big brother, do you know ......" After introducing the visitor, the Manjun introduced Zhao Hongtao to the other party, but except for Zhao Hongtao's surname, he never revealed any information.
"Hello Boss Zhao, welcome to our guest ......"
Ah Bao shook Zhao Hongtao's hand very politely, and said with a smile: "Boss Man, although my height is like a local, my ancestral home is really not here, my father is in the corps, and later the farm was built here in Qiong Province, and they all came to the local area professionally......"
It turned out that in the sixties and seventies of the last century, in order to develop agriculture in Qiong Province, a lot of farms were set up in the mountainous areas of Qiong Province, and the formed troops were transferred to support local construction.
Because of this, Ah Bao grew up in the mountains since he was a child, and he is very familiar with the people in the Miao Li village living around, which also makes him get a lot of convenience when he grows up to engage in the business of Xingyue Bodhi and Huanghuali.
Ah Bao is very good at doing business, and as soon as they met, he revealed his origin and inventory, which made Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi have a good impression of him, Zhao Hongtao said at the moment: "This time I trouble Mr. Bao, my favorite thing to play with is wood, Mr. Bao has any good things." You can show it to me first......"
"Boss Zhao is polite, just call me Ah Bao......"
After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Ah Bao smiled and waved his hand, and said, "A few guests from afar, let's not talk about business first, it's noon soon." I'll take you to taste our local food, and this is the most authentic five-legged pig, but it is fed in Wuzhi Mountain......"
"Oh, I've heard of the four famous dishes of Wenchang chicken, Jiaji duck, Dongshan goat and Hele crab in Qiong Province, but I haven't heard of five-legged pig......
Zhao Hongtao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he often traveled to various places to study or attend conferences, and he would taste local specialty snacks everywhere, but he had been to Qiong Province several times, and he really hadn't eaten the five-legged pig that Bao said.
"Brother Zhao, these five-legged pigs are all free-range. It tastes very good...... "The Manchu army has eaten it a few times before, and he explained it to Zhao Hongtao at the moment.
The five-legged pig, also known as the fragrant pig, is a local small sow in Qiong Province when it is in estrus, it is put into the mountains to find wild boar breeding, and then give birth to piglets with wild boar habits and physique.
The piglets born from the cross are short limbs and long pointed beaks like wild boars, because they like to forage in the wild. When you walk, your mouth is on the ground, and from behind you looks like five legs. That's why the locals call them "five-legged pigs".
"Well, this kind of wild hybrid pork is the most fragrant, and you want to taste it......" Zhao Hongtao was originally a foodie, and when he heard Manjun's description, his index finger suddenly moved, and after a few polite words with Bao. A few people stood up and walked outside the hotel.
"Huh, Lao Man, why don't you drive your car?" When he came to the parking place outside the lobby, Zhao Hongtao found that Manjun did not drive his own car, but Ah Bao opened the door of a car and beckoned a few people to sit on.
"Brother Zhao. Let's make Bao's car......" Man Jun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although it is a little crowded in his car, it is safe, and you will know when you come back to eat......"
"Security?
Zhao Hongtao was confused by what the Manchu Army said, and seeing that the Manchu Army did not explain any more, he could only sit in the car, the Manchu Army sat in the front, Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi sat in the back row, and the four people in a car did not seem to be very crowded.
The hotel where Bao took Zhao Hongtao and others was built at the foot of a mountain, nestled against a small lake flowing down the mountain.
People can not only eat in the wooden house, but also fish and play cards in it, it is a resort that combines entertainment and leisure eating, although it is the hottest time in Qiong Province, but this resort is still full of cars, obviously business is very good.
Ah Bao and the boss are very familiar, and they booked the room in advance, and after entering the room, Ah Bao didn't wait for the waiter to come, so he was busy making tea for Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi.
"Boss Zhao, this is the bitter root tea here here, it's cool and relieves the heat, you can taste it......" Ah Bao brought a few cups of tea to Zhao Hongtao and the others, and said with a smile.
"Huh, it's really a little bitter, but after reminiscing, I feel like my tongue is rooted......" Zhao Hongtao tasted the tea, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "After taking a sip of this tea, it seems that the weather is not very hot......"
"Boss Zhao, our place is originally warm in winter and cool in summer, if you go to Wuzhi Mountain, you will feel cooler......" Ah Bao laughed when he heard this, and said: "You guys sit down first, I'll go and urge the food, business here is very good, if you don't urge, I don't know what time it will be served......
"Brother Zhao, I also came here to eat last time, I heard that the boss here and Ah Bao are classmates, and my parents are all from the farm......"
After Ah Bao went out, Man Jun said: "Ah Bao told me just now, he found four trees in Miao Village, but I heard that there are other people who are going to gamble, and we will go over after dinner, and the province will be preempted by others......"
"Do you want to go to the Miao village?" After hearing the words of the Manchu army, Zhao Hongtao's face changed, and he said with some hesitation: "Can't you transport the tree out......?"
"Hmm, Brother Zhao, are you afraid that the Miao people will be tricked?" Man Jun was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that Zhao Hongtao, a local official, would actually know about these things.
"Ahem, I didn't say it......"
Zhao Hongtao's face was red when Manjun said, he glanced left and right, and said: "I used to have a very good relationship with a classmate, when we graduated, we traveled to Yunnan Province together, I don't know how he got along with a girl from Miao Village, but he didn't stay, who knew that just after returning from Miao Village, he had a strange disease......
What Zhao Hongtao said was something he had personally experienced, and although nearly 20 years have passed, Zhao Hongtao still remembers it vividly.
It was in the early 80s, Zhao Hongtao had just graduated from Jinling University, and he and Liu Dazhi, another classmate from Shandong Province, were invited by classmates in Yunnan Province to take a train for a few days and go to their classmates in Yunnan Province to play for a while.
Because Zhao Hongtao studied the museum major from the Department of History, he and his classmates in Lu Province were very interested in the history of Yunnan Province, especially the legendary self-contained Miao Village, both of whom were very interested.
It's just that in the early eighties, Miao Village was not as open to the outside world as it is now, and it was still a very mysterious place for the outside world, and outsiders could not enter the world of Miao people at all.
However, it is a coincidence that the mother of the classmate in Yunnan Province was married from Miao Village, so the classmate in Yunnan Province is also half of the Miao Village, and at the request of Zhao Hongtao and Liu Dazhi, the classmate in Yunnan Province agreed to take them to live in the village of Miao Village for a few days.
Before leaving, the classmates in Yunnan Province explained Zhao Hongtao and Liu Dazhi a lot of things to pay attention to and avoid, and the two also agreed, followed the classmate for two days on the mountain road, and came to a Miao village deep in a mountain in Yunnan Province.
The arrival of the three made the silent Miao Village lively, because of the relationship between the classmates, the Miao Village people regarded Zhao Hongtao and others as the most distinguished guests, and held a bonfire party with singing and dancing for three consecutive nights to welcome their arrival.
On the first and second day, Zhao Hongtao and they were still a little unable to let go, for fear that there would be something disrespectful to the Miao people in words or behaviors, so they were always cautious.
But after two days, they felt that the Miao people seemed to be no different from the people in the outside world, and they were more hospitable, so on the third day, they also let go of their previous scruples and drank happily.
