Chapter 569: Convincing Another Cottage
When they got closer, Liu Yi and the others found that the yak was a child, only about 7 or 8 years old, with only a piece of hair on the top of the head, and an earring on the left ear, which looked very unusual.
Yoshiki Shomatsu saw everyone's doubts and explained: "This kind of dress is a characteristic of our Yi people, boys are four or five years old, with a square piece of hair on the top of their heads, and when they are adults, they will be tied into a bun. People regard it as a representative of the gods and believe that it can dominate good fortune and evil. Therefore, it is sacrosanct and cannot be touched or teased by anyone. Therefore, the Chinese call it "Heavenly Bodhisattva". The baby boy has a pierced left ear and wears an earring when it is a little longer. β
"Oh, I see, I'm quite curious to hear your explanation now, I don't know what kind of feeling we have on these clothes!" Li Tie was eager to try.
Yoshiki Shomatsu smiled: "I really want to dress very simply, if you go back to the cottage at night, my clothes will pick you up and wear them, those clothes are very troublesome to wear, if you are a woman, it will take a long time to put on a good dress." β
Although he heard Yoshiki Changsong's explanation, Li Tie was still curious about putting on Yi costumes.
While chatting here, the old patriarch said to the shepherd boy who was herding the cattle: "Little Muller, is your grandfather at home?" β
"Here, Grandpa Yoshiki, are all these people following you?" The crisp sound of the same voice made people have a great impression of this child, and they couldn't see that people were careful and small, and they still had a certain amount of precautions against everyone.
The old patriarch laughed and said, "Go back and tell your grandfather that a distinguished guest has arrived, and ask him to bring out the best wine to greet us!" β
Little Mueller did not doubt the words of the old patriarch Jimu either. Immediately turn the body of the white yak and rush towards the cottage, I am afraid that their cottage is not afraid of poaching at all, because except for this alpine pasture, the rest are rough roads, even if they steal cattle and sheep, there is no way to get rid of them.
"That cow has white fur all over its body, and it looks like it wants to go up and ride!" Li Tie looked at the white yak in the distance with great envy.
The old patriarch struck him and said: "There are not many white-haired cattle in the cottage, unless the distinguished guests can ride, it is better for you to die as soon as possible!" β
Since Li Tie angered the old patriarch several times and almost made him unable to get off the stage, now the old patriarch and Li Tie will taunt each other as long as they can seize the opportunity, and there are a lot of interesting things in the monotonous itinerary.
Liu Yi and Mr. Jia didn't care about these idle things, they still controlled their temper relatively well, and there were no real contradictions, so it was actually quite good.
The child rode away on a yak. The people did not wait where they were, but followed him. But it's not as fast as that kid.
After a while, when Liu Yi and his party were about to walk to the cottage, they found that there were already many people watching this group of people at the gate of the cottage, and among them, a half-hundred old man of the same age as the old patriarch greeted them.
"Old Yoshiki. It's been a long time since you've been to our cottage. I heard from my grandson that you also brought distinguished guests from outside. Who are the people around here? "This should be the old Muller in the mouth of the old patriarch.
Sure enough, the old patriarch laughed and said, "It's not Old Muller, the people around me are rich people from outside." They decided to develop our cottage, and that's what I thought of you! β
Old Mueller immediately said to Liu Yi enthusiastically: "Distinguished guests from afar, welcome to our cottage, if you really invest in us, we are very welcome." β
But Liu Yi still found from his tone that the old Mueller patriarch spoke very politely, but he was not enthusiastic and active from the heart, to put it bluntly, he had great doubts about Liu Yi and his party.
It doesn't matter if Liu Yi is right, the old Jimu patriarch is not like this, as long as they have more contact with them for a while in the future actions, they will understand, just like the food in the cottage, waiting for them to understand and then they will naturally be warmly entertained.
The patriarch of Lao Jimu didn't say much, and talked about other things as he walked: "Old Mueller, the pasture on your side makes us envious, you see how fat the cattle and sheep are here, unlike our cottage where a few sheep can only be cautiously driven to the hillside, and the beasts on the mountain are also released!" β
"Hehe, this is the inheritance left to us by our ancestors, although you don't have a pasture, don't you have a medicine mountain, we usually need some medicines and exchange them with you!" Old Muller likewise complimented Old Yoshimu.
However, the old Jimu patriarch's voice changed: "But our cottage will be good in the future, Xiao Changsong will find rich entrepreneurs outside to develop our mountain, and our cottage will wait to live a good life in the future!" β
"Oh, what resources do you have to go up the mountain to develop, it won't be a lie to you, right?" Old Mueller looked at Liu Yi and they approached the old Jimu patriarch and said softly, but he was still heard by Liu Yi who was at the tip of his ear.
The old Jimu patriarch shook his head firmly: "Not this time, I believe that Xiao Changsong personally went to a rich man's mountain village to investigate, and gave me a lot of pictures and information about the mountain village, which looks very beautiful." Besides, they also brought a lot of clothes and food to our cottage, and our cottage was already poor and there was nothing to deceive, and I felt that they were very reliable after a few days of contact with them! β
"Then where do you really have any place to attract them, won't it be the medicine mountain that will also be used for them to develop, you haven't been deceived enough by those medicinal material profiteers?" Old Muller was still a little unconvinced.
The patriarch of Jimu sighed again and said: "You don't believe it, our cottage used to live a poor life in Baoshan, not counting the medicinal materials There are too many things that can be developed, such as the pangolins and scorpions in the mountains are expensive ingredients outside, especially the "pig arch fungus" that we originally fed to livestock can be sold for a lot of money, which makes me too surprising, but to be honest, that thing is very delicious, and the taste is now in my heart." β
"Is there really such a good thing?" Old Muller was still a little puzzled, such a thing sounded like pie in the sky.
Patriarch Jimu patted Old Mueller's shoulder and said angrily: "It's all old friends for decades, I can still lie to you, this time they also brought a lot of supporting materials, I don't think there will be fake ......"
After thinking about it, he revealed to Lao Mueller again: "This time their plan also told me, the early plan is to build the road from Daliangshan Prefecture to the downstream ferry, and I heard that the deep mountain is to build a chain bridge and cable car, anyway, it will only take 2 hours to reach from Daliangshan Prefecture to our side in the future!" β
"Ah, that's not that we can be fully connected here and outside, there is no traffic barrier at all, this is a big investment, they really have so much money to invest in?"
Patriarch Jimu said: "The one who is about the same age as me in this group of people is the richest, and he also has a good relationship with the government leaders above us, and when the time comes, he will go to talk about the construction of the road, and he seems to be cooperating with the government to build this road, and the cableway is funded by themselves, anyway, they are all very rich people, they are very optimistic about us, and I also have a high degree of confidence to introduce them to you!" β
"We only have this alpine pasture in our cottage, I can't think of anything else to attract them, but after the road is built, we will be able to get the cattle and sheep out ourselves!" Patriarch Muller was a little moved, but verbally he still didn't cooperate, which was to increase his own bargaining chips.
If Liu Yi knew about this situation, he could only sigh in his heart that although these cottage leaders did not have too much contact with the outside world, they were still old and fine, as slippery as loaches.
As he spoke, the cottage of the old Muller family arrived, except for the exterior wall is made of brick and stone, the rest of the cottage is a yurt-style building, and the form is completely different from the house made of earth and stone in Jimu Cottage.
Old MΓΌller led everyone into the largest yurt, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a tent specially set up for the reception of guests, with long tables around the tent and a carpet on the floor, but it looked very old and had not been replaced for a long time.
Arranged for everyone to sit behind the long table, and immediately someone came up with a teapot, Liu Yi began to think that he was pouring tea for them, but what flowed out of the teapot was a stream of white goat's milk with a fishy smell.
"Is this butter tea?" Li Tie asked in a low voice on the side.
Yoshiki Shomatsu smiled: "Almost, taste it, those who can smell this taste should like this taste." β
In the tent, the patriarch of Jimu introduced Liu Yi and his party to Lao Mueller one by one, and Liu Yi and Mr. Jia also explained their intention to come today, because this cottage was Liu Yi They took the initiative to come to the door, and they also took out a lot of materials that can prove that they came to invest here, just like some asset certificates, Liu Yi's special breeding license, etc.!
Old Mueller looked at it very seriously, and after reading it one by one, he asked: "I heard Lao Jimu say that you plan to develop our land, and you also plan to build a highway cableway, which requires a lot of investment in the early stage, after reading these supporting materials, I don't have to question your strength, but we don't have pangolins, scorpions, and medicinal materials like Jimu Cottage here, how do you plan to develop our land?" β
For the old Mueller's consultation, Liu Yi also discussed with Mr. Jia when the two old patriarchs communicated, and immediately replied: "Your cottage owns this grassland should be said to be commendable in the depths of Daliang Mountain, and the development of animal husbandry is inevitable, but these are not enough, you can also join the wild camping, barbecue festivals, etc., now we have seen very few situations, and after the investigation is clear, plus the appropriate project, our purpose of developing here is mutual benefit and win-win ......"
With the recommendation of the patriarch of Jimu and Liu Yi's incorruptible tongue, in the end, the old muller was also relieved to join this development plan, and learned that Liu Yi and they would continue to invite them to the other two cottages to join the plan, and couldn't help but sigh at their strength.
It can be said that the mountains are vast and sparsely populated, and even those infrastructure construction will consume a lot of money, and I really dare not invest indiscriminately if there is less capital. (To be continued......)
