Chapter 341: Into the Mountain (2)
Yao Luquan's medicinal herb processing factory is getting bigger and bigger, with more than 30 workers, and the original family workshop has long been insufficient, so he rented the house of the neighbor next door, and now the village has allocated him a piece of land, and the new factory site is under construction.
Hearing that Jin Cheng was coming, Yao Luquan was originally in the town for a meeting, so he immediately drove back and dragged the two who were about to enter the mountain to have a meal at his house.
Yao Luquan's wife Li Laifang personally cooked, took out all the game treasured in the refrigerator at home, and made a table full of game, urging Jin Cheng and Lan Xiaoling to eat more, Yao Luquan called Ling Jingen, the village party secretary, to drink with Jin Cheng.
During the banquet, the couple recalled the difficulties of a year ago, wiped a lot of tears, and said a lot of words of thanks to Jin Cheng.
"Jin Cheng, Gangtou Village has changed a lot because of you, the road has been repaired, the villagers are getting more and more abundant, many young and middle-aged people who are working outside will not come back, either follow the team to the mountain to collect medicine, or open up the wasteland to plant medicine, how is it better than working outside, first of all, the money earned is not less than outside, and you can also take care of the children and the elderly at home, with such a good thing, who is willing to go outside to suffer." I borrowed your east wind and touched your light, and I am really ashamed to be the village party secretary. Ling Jingen sighed after draining the glass of wine in one gulp.
"Lao Ling, don't be arrogant, the eyes of the masses are bright, you are really working for the welfare of the villagers of Gangtou Village, everyone can see that you have worked hard in the town for a few years, I am optimistic about you, it will not be a problem to be a town mayor or something in the future." Jin Cheng said jokingly.
"Then I'll borrow your auspicious words, no matter where I go in the future, my roots are still in Gangtou Village, and I will never forget the fathers and villagers who raised me, I will do my best to help the development of the village, funds, policies, as long as I can do it......" Ling Jingen didn't care if Jin Cheng was joking or not, he took it seriously and hurriedly expressed his determination.
Listening to Ling Jingen's high-sounding words, Jin Cheng always felt that something was fake, and stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "Old Ling, you should ask Zhu Zhen for advice on the way of being an official, they are all cadres who go out of a village, easy to communicate, and his future is bright, after being released, he is basically the top leader of the local party and government, maybe you have the opportunity to work together." ”
"Of course, Secretary Zhu is very righteous, I can be promoted this time, he has contributed a lot, I want to invite you to have a meal with Secretary Zhu, what do you think?" Ling Jingen said.
"Okay, when I come back, you can arrange to inform me, I haven't drunk with Brother Zhu for a long time, I miss him a lot, haha." Jin Cheng said with a smile.
"Then it's decided."
……
In the afternoon, Jin Cheng and Lan Xiaoling entered the mountain. They avoided the route taken by the herb collection team, and their first stop was the mysterious waterhole.
Lan Xiaoling had followed Jin Cheng here once, but this time she heard that there was a dragon palace under the water, and she was very curious and wanted to see it with her own eyes.
Jin Cheng took the water beads in his mouth, and jumped off the pool with Lan Xiaoling in his arms, Lan Xiaoling was so frightened that he quickly held his breath and closed his eyes. After a while, she didn't feel the presence of water, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a big bubble enveloping the two of them, there was not a drop of water in the bubble, she could breathe normally, and she could see the fish swimming outside the bubble. And Jin Chengzheng looked at her with a wicked smile, as if he was very proud.
Lan Xiaoling was determined not to bother with him, and tried to touch his finger against the bubble wall, and found that his finger was easily stretched out, and there was real water outside, and he retracted his hand, but found that the water did not flow in, but only wet his fingers.
"Jin Cheng, this is amazing, how did you do it?" Lan Xiaoling looked at the bizarre underwater world, and her heart was inexplicably shocked.
"It's easy, when you get inside, I'll tell you, you can do it too." Jin Cheng told Lan Xiaoling all the secrets of the space world, but he was not going to hide anything from her, this water bead would be given to her sooner or later. Because after the cultivator reaches the foundation building period, he changes from mouth and nose breathing to skin breathing, and only needs a very small amount of oxygen to survive, and the oxygen content in the water is sufficient, and he can freely enter and exit the water without water beads, so when the time comes, it is reasonable for the water beads to be given to Lan Xiaoling.
The gate of the Dragon Palace is located in the mountain wall, even if someone can reach the bottom of the water, they can't find it, the dragon carp told Jin Cheng about the mechanism of control, when the mountain wall parted to both sides, revealing the golden and brilliant gate, Lan Xiaoling's eyes rippled, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and said with a smile: "Jin Cheng, we will live here tonight, and we will go tomorrow, okay?" ”
"No problem, follow my wife's arrangement." Jin Cheng chuckled and said, in fact, it is the same wherever you live, because you must go to the space world to spend the night, although the safety here is not a problem, but the environment is very different, there are cold stones everywhere, and the air is also very humid, not suitable for human habitation, not to mention that Lan Xiaoling still has to cultivate, and the aura environment is very important.
"I'd love to see the real dragon with my own eyes." Lan Xiaoling, who has never chased stars, rarely showed a nymphomaniac-like expression, which shows that the legendary creature of the dragon is absolutely supreme in the minds of the Chinese people.
"There will be a chance in the future, after the dragon carp turns into a real dragon, it has the same dignity as it is now, you don't want to look at it!" Saying that, Jin Cheng let go of his divine sense and probed around, and then whispered in Lan Xiaoling's ear: "Fish head snake body, that's a monster." ”
This copycat version of the Dragon Palace has a limited area, except for the majestic gate, which has a lot of gold dust on it, and the interior is really simple, which can be said to be the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. After experiencing the initial excitement, Lan Xiaoling quickly lost interest here, took Jin Cheng's water beads in his mouth, and brought lighting equipment to play in the pool, first swimming like a mermaid, and then exploring all corners of the water, and even entered the underwater passage that connected the underground river to take a look.
Such an underwater treasure hunt scene only appeared in a dream, now has the opportunity to experience it for herself, she is full of interest, tireless, after serving the fear, a person in the water for a long time, during which she also caught a big fish of four or five catties and brought it back to the palace, ready to boil fish soup at night to drink.
Dinner was prepared by Lan Xiaoling in the space world, and Jin Cheng was not allowed to interfere, so the bored Jin Cheng had to dig a pond and catch some fish to come in for stocking, believing that the fish raised in the spiritual spring water can definitely turn decay into magic.
After Lan Xiaoling joined the work, she studied cooking with her mother for a period of time, and recently lived in Jin Cheng's house, and learned a few more hands from Xiaolan, I dare not say how exquisite the cooking skills are, but she relies on her good understanding and professional research ability and the spirit of daring to fail regardless of the cost, and it is not a problem to reach the passing score.
After cultivating, her learning and comprehension ability has reached a new height, and today is the first time she has officially shown it to Jin Cheng.
"Drink a bowl of fish soup, I've been boiling it over a warm fire for a long time, you can taste it." Lan Xiaoling brought a bowl of thick fish soup, which was full of aroma, and instantly hooked the gluttonous worms in Jin Cheng's stomach......
