In the evening, the rain in the sky had not stopped, and Ai Xiaoyu knew that the rain could not stop for a while, so he could only stay in Mu's house.

"Grandpa Mu, your location here is too remote, but the scenery is really beautiful, I don't know if there is a name for Lu Dao? When I asked Miao Er in the afternoon, she didn't seem to know. ”

"We call it Emerald Valley here, named after the jade jelly, and a large area of our mountain here is full of stinky yellow wattle, the main ingredient for making jade jelly. Although the name of stinky yellow vitex is not good, the jade jelly made from it is very popular! ”

According to legend, during the Three Gorges flood control period, Dayu was trapped by demons, and the people were hot, hungry, and sick, and the pain was unbearable. The twenty-third daughter of the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen Mother, Yao Ji, the goddess of Wushan, gave the Book of Heaven to Dayu to dredge the Three Gorges, punish the demons, and enlighten the people.

She picked the strange leaves in the mountains - stinky yellow vitex leaves, took the juice to make cold powder, crystal clear, and drank and ate, the water control team and the people were greatly boosted, and quickly dredged the Three Gorges. The strange peak where Yao Ji settled, welcoming the morning glow in the morning and sending the sunset at night, said: The Goddess Peak. Bise jelly has been passed down from generation to generation in Wushan and has become a special snack for people to cool off the heat. Because its color is like jadeite, it is called: jadeite cold powder. It has been passed down to this day and has become a folk delicacy.

According to Grandpa Mu, this stinky yellow wattle leaf is made into cold powder from its juice, which was the first to be invented here. Even the stinky yellow vitex originally only grew in their valley, and was later taken out by the people who lived in the valley, and now it can only be found in various corners of Wushan.

Legends are legends, and it would be unwise to get to the bottom of it.

After she had eaten the jade jelly at noon, she really planned to take some stinky yellow vitex quietly when she left, because she knew that this thing could not only take its juice to make jelly, but also its roots. Leaves, seeds can also be used in medicine, can remove rheumatism, clear away evil heat, cure dysentery, hemorrhoids, prolapse, toothache and other symptoms.

"Actually, to be honest, Grandpa Mu. I think the name of the Emerald Valley here is very good, but it should not be named after this jade jelly, but from the green bamboo, green bamboo house, and bamboo building that you have here that will not fade. ”

Ai Xiaoyu heard that this valley was called Emerald Valley, and she really felt that such a beautiful name was worthy of such a beautiful mountain beauty.

It was the first time she knew that there was still a kind of bamboo that would never fade in this world, and if such a bamboo was brought out of the Emerald Valley and planted in her hometown in Zhulin Village. What an economic and artistic value!

"Huh? Little girl, you are really knowledgeable, you have only been here for half a day, and you have discovered the most magical bamboo we have here! We call this kind of bamboo jade bamboo, and we name it Emerald Valley here, in fact, there should also be a relationship between emerald bamboo.

The house made of jade bamboo, people live in it is warm in winter and cool in summer, even if we let us replace our bamboo house with a brick house in your city, no one will definitely change it! ”

When it comes to his own bamboo house, which is hard to change. Grandpa Mu and Grandma Mu are very proud, and they have also been to the outside world. Those houses have all been replaced with brick houses and the like, and they are not as comfortable as their own bamboo houses, and it is too cold in winter to cover a lot of quilts, and in summer it is too hot, so you have to turn on the air conditioning.

"Ahh Your jade bamboo is so magical, why don't you sell it outside and exchange it for money to improve your access path? ”

This is really where Ai Xiaoyu is puzzled, she also found that the two elders of the Mu family are not uninformed people, it is impossible not to discover the commercial value of this jade bamboo.

"How can we not know this truth? You must see that we are willing to build a house with jade bamboo, so you think that we should have a lot of jade bamboo here, right? Actually, no, the bamboo houses we have here have been handed down from generation to generation, and the shortest ones have a history of hundreds of years.

There are only a few dozen existing jade bamboos in our Jade Valley, and we can't just watch the jade bamboo go extinct in exchange for money! I also went outside to ask, saw, heard, and knew that only we in the Jade Valley in this world have jade bamboo, that is to say, the dozens of living jade bamboos in this world are here. ”

Speaking of which, Grandpa Mu is both proud and sad.

"Is this jade bamboo growing very slowly? Or what's going on? ”

Ai Xiaoyu knows that no matter how precious the bamboo is, it will grow bamboo shoots every year, and it can't always be the same quantity.

"The slow growth of this jade bamboo is on the one hand, on the other hand, it is not easy to survive, every year it grows a bamboo shoot, it will die an adult jade bamboo, like a curse, hundreds of years, our jade bamboo in the jade valley has not grown.

This kind of jade bamboo that dies naturally will not always be green, it will turn yellow and dry day by day, and the bamboo house made of such jade bamboo will not be warm in winter and cool in summer. Therefore, we people in the Emerald Valley have not used jade bamboo for a long time, and this jade bamboo is really one less when you cut one! ”

When Grandpa Mu said this, he was really depressed.

Ai Xiaoyu comforted: "Grandpa Mu, like you, these bamboo houses you live in are really priceless, and the value I am talking about is not only economic value, but also cultural value."

You have to be careful, don't meet a person who is so clear to others, really, there are all kinds of people outside now, if you are not careful, your bamboo house will be remembered.

Let me be honest with you, according to my estimate, even if it is millions, tens of millions, or even more bamboo houses like yours, there may be people who want them! ”

Ai Xiaoyu is really not alarmist, she has lived one more life, she knows the Tao of the world, there are no surprises, for the sake of interests, she will do anything. Didn't someone say that lust is the original sin of mankind?

Grandma Mu was taken aback when she heard Ai Xiaoyu's words, and asked, "Girl Lan, what you said is true?" Our bamboo house is so valuable? ”

"Yes, scarcity is expensive! Your bamboo house will not fade when you come, and it will be warm in winter and cool in summer, both of which are unique features! As far as I know, I really didn't find such a magical bamboo house in this world.

I found that staying in this bamboo house, the air is as fresh as water, and the whole person is refreshed. I want to buy it! Even if you are reluctant to sell the bamboo house, it would be good for me to buy a few jade bamboo shoots! ”

When Grandpa Mu heard this, he also heard that this Lan girl was really beating their idea of Jade Bamboo in Jade Valley, but this Lan girl was kind-hearted. Although he was making an idea, he didn't plan to use extraordinary means.

In the afternoon, the set of Tai Chi exercises that Lan Yatou taught him, he realized that even if everyone in their Jade Valley came to deal with her, they would not be her opponents, and this Lan Yatou's martial arts were so high and deep that he really couldn't see it.

It's just that she selflessly taught him such a powerful Tai Chi Gong and allowed him to teach it to other people in the village. I know that this girl has a good heart.

Grandpa Mu had a sudden expression on his face, "Girl Lan, you've been talking for a long time, and finally got to the topic, you're a girl who has been beating our jade bamboo idea for a long time, right?" ”

"Hehe, Grandpa Mu, you are not old-hearted, I am not following you. Surely you've already figured out I'm playing with this jade bamboo.

Sincerely, Grandpa Mu. I really want to buy jade bamboo with you, we have a large bamboo forest in our house, which is full of all kinds of bamboo, our family is very fond of bamboo, and also specially used bamboo as a material, opened a bamboo products factory.

Before. I also feel that I am quite proud of the precious bamboos such as gold-inlaid jade bamboo, tortoiseshell bamboo, purple bamboo, and Buddha's belly bamboo. But I didn't expect that on a trip to the Three Gorges, I found the jade bamboo, and I realized that none of the so-called precious bamboos in the road can compare to the jade bamboo you have here! ”

Thinking of this, Ai Xiaoyu's desire to buy jade bamboo from Grandpa Mu was even greater. She was still thinking that if they were still unwilling to sell, she would have to consider stealing it directly, of course, she still had to leave the check before leaving, after all, people have a number of jade bamboos, and if she knows less, she must know that she has patronized it, so she still doesn't want to do things that affect her image.

"Girl Lan, how much are you going to spend on jade bamboo?" Grandpa Mu saw that this girl's family was rich, but he didn't know how rich it was.

Grandpa Mu is the actual leader of the Emerald Valley, and he still does the master of buying and selling the Emerald Bamboo.

He just heard Ai Xiaoyu say that if someone who knows the goods sees that their bamboo house is worth a thousand gold, he will know that sooner or later, this jade bamboo and jade house may bring an unexpected catastrophe to their quiet Emerald Valley, and he has to leave a little way back for the people of the entire Emerald Valley.

He knows that there are more and more tourists who come to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River to enjoy the scenery, and if Ai Xiaoyu can find the Emerald Valley by accident, there will definitely be others who will find it here.

Not everyone is calm and ready to face great temptations.

Even for Ai Xiaoyu's character, he is willing to sell jade bamboo to her.

At this time, Grandpa Mu just couldn't hear Ai Xiaoyu's idea of stealing the jade bamboo, and if he could hear it, he might not appreciate her so much.

"Huh? Grandpa Mu, are you really willing to sell jade bamboo to me? I only have hundreds of thousands of cash on me, but I still have a checkbook, and by the way, I can also call the bank to transfer it to you! If you want to sell this jade bamboo, I'll buy it for as much as you want, anyway, I won't let you and the people of Jade Valley suffer! ”

Ai Xiaoyu really couldn't make a bid, because in her heart, she also felt that this jade bamboo was a priceless treasure, and it was really blasphemous to measure it with money.

"Ha Luha, Lan girl, you are really refreshing, I don't want you more, one million jade bamboo shoots, I only sell five at most, it's up to you to buy a few trees." By the way, you don't have enough cash, and what about checks, I'm not familiar with it. I have a bank account number, you can call the bank directly! But we don't have a signal here! ”

"Ah, only five of them are sold? Then I'll just buy five. Bank transfer, right? No problem, Grandpa Mu, tell me your bank account number, my mobile phone is a satellite signal, and you can usually make calls anywhere on the planet. ”

Ai Xiaoyu also felt a little regretful when she heard that he only sold five. However, her hand did not stop, and quickly took out a large leather bag from her backpack, which contained hundreds of thousands of cash and checkbooks, as well as her mobile phone that was specially ordered from Motorola.

After a while, after Grandpa Mu checked the amount of his deposit in the bank from his mobile phone, he took Ai Xiaoyu to the jade bamboo in the Emerald Valley and helped her find five jade bamboo shoots that only grew this spring.

"Lan girl, when the rain stops tomorrow, you can take these five jade bamboos away, whether this jade bamboo can be planted or not, I can't guarantee it!"

When she said this, Grandpa Mu was really a little weak-hearted, five million, if she took it back, if she really didn't live, this Lan girl would have suffered a heavy loss. (To be continued......)
