The Xishuang*banna region of Yunnan Province is on the edge of the tropics, with high altitudes and strong winds. The heat is low and the annual rainfall is low. The altitude, heat, and rainfall in this area have just reached the growth needs of the rainforest, and it is a kind of tropical rainforest in the limit state.

After entering Xishuang*banna, Li Zhendong saw the primeval forest that covered the sky and the sun, a kind of dense forest to the extreme. It is an impermeable primeval rainforest.

When you enter the forest, it is a dense landscape. The vines in the forest are intertwined, the dense clumps of fern leaves under the forest, the giant trees with plate-like roots protruding from the ground everywhere, and the many plants growing directly on the branches in mid-air, the sky garden looks dizzy, and when people look up, the elevation angle is almost 90 degrees. The sharp-eyed Li Zhendong even saw a group of monkeys not far away, hanging on the vines and swinging around. In Li Zhendong's sharp whistle, the monkeys were startled and disappeared suddenly.

The quaint bamboo buildings of ethnic minorities are scattered under the phoenix tail bamboos in the roadside forest. The plantain tree, which can be called huge, hangs with a stream of green fruits. In the flashing field, a girl dressed in minority costumes walked gracefully, and there was a silver bell-like laughter in the wind, a leisurely pastoral scene.

It's still a good environment in this era, and it's not comparable to later generations. Li Zhendong was completely attracted by the beautiful scenery here. The two eyes look out, look left and right, and hate that the eyes are not enough. The driver of the car was smiling, and when he passed by a beautiful place, he deliberately slowed down to let the teenager in the car take a closer look. Along the way, Dagang's admiration and strange screams did not stop.

It's a pity. What a pity! After the 90s, the surging economic tide was unstoppable, and the forest area of Xishuang*banna gradually decreased.

Li Zhendong also saw another kind of forest here. When passing a certain section of the road, on both sides of the road, whether it is the south slope and the north slope, the bottom of the valley or the top of the mountain, you can see artificially planted and neatly arranged forests, which is the state-owned rubber plantation farm. Look at the rubber groves. Li Zhendong's eyes showed a thoughtful look. The car drove away for a long distance, and Li Zhendong also looked back at the direction of the rubber forest, of course, he couldn't see anything at this time.

Yun Boping said that the seller's attitude is unclear. Don't say yes or no, after contacting this family, the reason Li Zhendong knows, it's still a matter of money!

One of the ancestors of the family was a local official. Responsible for matters related to tribute tea. This one also has a vision. Taking advantage of the position he held at that time, he was greedy for a lot of famous tea, and one was to sell it for money, and merchants at home and abroad came, and there were many traders with him in private. Second, this kind of thing is also a great gift for colleagues and bosses.

There are not many things in this world that can't be bought with money, it depends on whether the price you pay is high enough! Li Zhendong's mind flashed the words of a Hong Kong businessman. Money is a god!

Through the relationship, the local leader arranged a staff member who understands the local vernacular to be the translator, at this moment. His face turned red, his voice trembled, and he asked Li Zhendong again, "Leader Li." Are you talking about the price? ”。 Li Zhendong nodded indifferently. The interpreter's excited voice was chattering, and as he spoke, the people who had been talking quietly around fell into silence. Soon, several people in front of them began to discuss.

It's a familial existence, talking to a few older people, young men standing next to them, women and children? They have all been driven out of the house. The argument between them was very fierce, Li Zhendong couldn't understand this kind of words, he could only look at his expression, and he could see that some people agreed with the sale, and some people disagreed.

It's easy to deal with disagreements, and after looking at it for a while, I'm a little impatient. Li Zhendong beckoned the translator to come over and decided to increase the price again after the last. After listening to the price quoted by Li Zhendong after the most embarrassing, the translator looked at Li Zhendong in a daze, in his heart, this young man who looks like a golden boy is a living boy who scatters wealth! Why can't I meet such a good thing?

"You tell them that this is the last price I ever gave, and if it still doesn't work, then forget it. In this way, we went out for a walk, hoping to give me a reply when we came back" Li Zhendong is unwilling to delay for a long time, although the price he pays, although it cannot be compared with Hong Kong, Macao and Nanyang, at the moment in China, it is already very high. If this price is not satisfied, Li Zhendong can only give up, no matter how much he likes something, there must be a degree.

Li Zhendong hates insatiable people, and he can see that some people always think that they can sell it at a higher price, and the higher they are, the higher they want to be higher. Li Zhendong didn't want his concessions to make the other party feel that he had to do it.

At the door of the house were women and children. The women gathered together to talk, and the children gathered around the jeep, and the bold even climbed to the side of the car, grinning in the rearview mirror, making the children next to them laugh. There were also people chasing around the car. Seeing Li Zhendong and a few people coming out, he left the car in an uproar.

Leaving the translator to deal with the Wu family, Li Zhendong led people out of the door and took a good look at the surrounding environment.

This is an old street in a small county town, this place is too old, a long street is paved with bluestone slabs of different sizes, standing on the bluestone and looking around, there is a feeling of ancient vicissitudes. On both sides are old-fashioned one-story tiled houses, of varying heights, built next to each other. Even though they are all built together, you can see the difference between some of them from the outside. Li Zhendong looked at the family he came out of, and there was a big stone lion at the gate. The other stone lion is gone, and the traces on the ground are still there.

didn't drive a car, Li Zhendong led people along the long street, and everyone he met along the way would look at them curiously. There are not many outsiders who come here, and there are almost no people dressed like Li Zhendong. The main urban area of the county is not large, so to speak, in the slightly larger towns in the eastern part of China.

Passing by a market in the city, this should be the largest market in the entire county, and there are many people coming in and out. For this kind of market, Li Zhendong is more interested in the store than the store. Stopped in front of a stall selling bananas by a fellow ethnic minority, and chose a banana weighing dozens of catties.

In front of another stall, Li Zhendong found something good. A large piece of dirty oilcloth spread out, in the middle of which were placed a few pheasants with their feet tied, their feathers were dull, and their tail feathers were long, and they did not move much, and when someone picked them up to look at them, their wings fluttered a few times. In the corner next to it, there was a small animal lying on its stomach. Someone squatted down and asked the price of the pheasant, and everyone turned a blind eye to the small animal, because it was too small, only a little more than a pound by visual inspection.

The stall owner is an ethnic minority man with a tough and straightforward face, which is different from the Han nationality. Sitting there and not shouting and selling, someone came to see the goods, only to show a smile and say the price. When guests hear the price he says, they usually shake their heads and get up and leave. (To be continued......)
