Listening to the villager's speech, Liu Yi thought that the owner of the tree was him. Hurriedly stretched out his hand, "This big brother, I'm sorry." I told you this beforehand, but I think this tree grows straight and is also an old tree. The house in my hometown has been built soon, and I think your tree is of good material, and I want to buy it and take it back to make some furniture. ”

In fact, Liu Yi lied, he went to the tree just now and removed a piece of bark with his hands. This ancient tree is hard, even if Liu Yi has just picked up the bark, it took a lot of effort. And Liu Yi put the bark to his nose and smelled it, there was a faint woody fragrance, which smelled much better than this kind of tree.

This ancient tree was obviously different from the other trees around him, and now Liu Yi was becoming more and more curious about it.

The villagers standing opposite also didn't know much about this ancient tree, and saw that Liu Yi was very interested in this ancient tree and wanted to buy it back to make furniture, but they didn't stop it.

He rubbed his hands excitedly, "This tree is also left by the ancestors, and there is a story about it, when the steel was run at that time, this ancient tree was almost used as a fuel for steelmaking." ”

"Oh, and more!" Liu Yi was also interested, and he didn't panic to see other ancient trees, just waiting for this villager to explain to him.

Some people listen to him nag, and he is still a rich man. The villager also wanted to sell the trees, so seeing that Liu Yi was very interested, he slowly said from his temperament: "When the steel was run in a big way, it turned out that every family in our family mobilized to collect fuel, and a large area of trees in the nearby mountains was cut down at that time. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to several surrounding mountains with a large area, and continued, "The trees in the mountains have been cut down, but the fuel for making steel is still not enough, so the trees that are cut down on each household, but when the workers at that time came to see this tree, it took a lot of time and effort, and there was no way to take this tree." ”

"Did something happen when you cut down this tree?"

"That's not it, it's that the tree is too difficult to cut, and at that time it was completely hand-cut, and the workers who worked with it cut down all the other trees. But the few people who were in charge of cutting down the tree, even if they sweated, they would get some bark down, and it would have no effect on the tree itself. Now the villager is talking about it, his eyebrows are fluttering, and his mouth is foaming.

"Then this tree should be very famous, but now it is going to die or not, and no one cares?" Liu Yi asked.

This kind of tree should attract a lot of attention, after all, there is no around, which means that this kind of tree is relatively rare, Liu Yi has a lot of doubts about this problem, and this is why he said it.

"Someone did come to check it out, but it wasn't long after the tree was cut down. I don't know what's going on with that person, even if he turns around next to this big tree, he doesn't give us an explanation. ”

"And such a thing?" Liu Yi's head began to spin at high speed, and it was not that he didn't pay attention to it, but it was too inappropriate for someone to come, and he could see it by going around.

At that time, there was a shortage of manpower above, and there were no professionals in this area, so I called a random person to come over, and the person who came simply lied that this tree was an ordinary tree species if he couldn't figure it out.

"Then no one came to inquire about your tree, I think there were many people who went to the countryside to find ancient trees to get to the city?" In order to find out the situation, Liu Yi asked very carefully.

The villagers also saw that Liu Yi was very interested in this tree, and there was a chance that he would buy it. He continued, "A few years ago, some people came to see it, and it turned out that there was no road at all, and when the people who came saw that the tree was going to die, they lost interest. So it has been kept until now. Now the road next to here was repaired last year. ”

"Oh, that's right!" Liu Yi somewhat understood.

In the past few years, because of the sudden emergence of an ancient tree craze in the city, there was a great demand for ancient trees for a while. Therefore, people can be seen everywhere in the countryside buying ancient trees, and an ancient tree of the previous year can be sold for 2 or 3,000 yuan in a place with convenient transportation.

But far away from the highway, it will increase the cost of manpower, and an ancient tree is tens of thousands of catties, and there is no way to take it manually, and it can only be sold for thousands of yuan if it is confirmed to be a precious ancient tree, and no one cares about other ancient trees.

Uncle Mi's side kept a lot of these ancient trees at that time because there was no road, and Liu Yi picked up a cheap one in vain.

"I don't know what kind of tree this is, but the wood is okay, and it's good to make furniture. How much are you willing to sell? Liu Yi didn't go around the bush, and directly asked the villager about the selling price of the ancient tree.

"Well, I don't know very well, I haven't sold this thing!" The villager didn't take the opportunity to ask for a price, and he was an honest man who was more responsible.

Liu Yi didn't want to keep the price too low, they were all uncle's neighbors in the village, in the future, if he knew that this tree was sold at a loss, his uncle Dong Shangyuan would not get along well in it, and when he thought of this, he said to the villager, "Otherwise, I will count according to these kinds of most expensive ancient trees, and the osmanthus tree is the most valuable, and the big one like this ancient tree is considered the top, how about I pay 5,000 yuan?" ”

"5,000 bucks, oh my God!" I only heard the sound of a "swish" inhaling from the side.

You have to know that a yellow cypress tree of such a size is only 1, 2,000 yuan, it is still alive, like this half-dead ancient tree, it can only be used to make furniture and utensils as Liu Yi said, but isn't that price cheaper? Liu Yi gave a very high price.

The villager heard the price Liu Yi offered. The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and he was speechless with some excitement.

Originally, his uncle Dong Shangyuan said to these villagers that he didn't want sick and disabled old trees, and he didn't expect that this ancient tree could still be sold for money, and it was more expensive than other ancient trees, how could he not be excited.

"That's, that's fine. You, you have the final say......" for a long time squeaked out these two sentences.

However, Liu Yi did not make fun of him, 5,000 yuan is a lot of money for rural people. Let's put it this way, for a family that depends on rural land to feed itself, the income of miscellaneous goods is basically about 5,000 yuan throughout the year, and it can be imagined how poor some peasants are.

"Then we will decide, you can register with my uncle Dong Shangyuan now, and I will settle the account when the statistics are completed." Liu Yi instructed the villager, pointing to the uncle next to him by the way.

"Okay, okay, okay. Go get busy, I'll register! ”

It took half a day, and it was about to ring noon, and Liu Yi looked at these ancient trees one by one, and all of them reached a unified price with these villagers who owned ancient trees.

But it's not over yet, Liu Yi pulled his uncle Dong Shangyuan, "I said uncle, I think you can simply organize 2 or 30 people, I'm looking for a car to pull the tree, then I'll call the villagers to dig the tree, and the villagers who dig the tree will be 100 yuan a day, what do you think?" ”

"There's no problem with this, it's all farming time now, and everyone has nothing to do, you just tell them the same!"

"Hehe, I just want you to manage it, I'm not familiar with everyone, it's easier for you to manage." Liu Yi explained to his uncle.

"Then you're busy with yourself, I'll take care of it for you here." My uncle is still just as good at talking.

Here, Liu Yi first called Li Xiaokang, who pulled the tree last time, how could he have thought that Li Xiaokang had nothing to do in the past few days, and he was worried about business? As soon as Liu Yi called over, he learned that Liu Yi was going to pull the tree again, so he immediately agreed to call several large trucks that were idle together.

"I said Xiao Li, where can you find the crane, this time it is an old tree, a single tree is relatively large, and it can also save the physical strength of the villagers."

"Brother Liu, don't worry, in our line of work, I know a lot of buddies who drive cranes, so you don't care, and I promise to rush over at the lowest price and the fastest speed." Li Xiaokang swore to Liu Yi.

"Come on, the price can't be less than yours, but things have to be done steadily!" Liu Yi is very satisfied with Li Xiaokang, he cooperated quite tacitly with the tree last time, and he can't make him suffer anything!

Hanging up Li Xiaokang's phone, Liu Yi did another thing. Here, my uncle is also arranging for the villagers to dig up trees.

Liu Yi walked over, "I said can you dig this ancient tree first, and then dig the others slowly." ”

Since Liu Yi's people who paid for it have spoken, and the villagers are not ambiguous, a noisy sound of digging and mixed with talking can be heard everywhere.

Fortunately, this is just digging a tree, and this tree is really as described by the villager, it has not been cut down yet, even if it digs up some roots, it is difficult to break, and the wood is indeed very hard.

After the last, Liu Yi had no choice, so he drove to a large hardware store in the town and rented a diesel cutting machine, which specializes in renting and selling large construction equipment, and the rental price is not cheap for one day.

With the help of machinery, the ancient tree itself is still a wooden structure, how can it compete! So less than ten minutes after Liu Yi bought it back, the ancient tree was put aside by everyone. Then use the cutting machine to remove the excess branches and leaves, and wait for the crane to work.

The villagers have continued to fight, and with the experience of the past, they have learned the benefits brought by the cutting machine, and the result is that a tree is very fast to dig, and the total time does not exceed 20 minutes, and the efficiency of beating is improved.

There is no problem at all with these more than 200 ancient trees moving in 3 days, as for where to move these ancient trees, Liu Yi also thought about it, and the tree pits on the hillside of his hometown can be fully utilized.

After a while, Li Xiaokang arrived with 5 two large trucks. Liu Yi told them how to do it, and they immediately understood Liu Yi's thoughts.

So Liu Yi assigned some people to help the crane tie the rope of the ancient tree, so that the tree could be lifted into the truck. There are also some people who follow the truck to Liu Yi's hometown to unload trees. When the time comes, all the work here will be completed, and the ancient trees will be transplanted over there.

However, the ancient tree that Liu Yi transferred at the beginning was the tree he didn't know, and with Liu Yi's intuition, this ancient tree must not be simple, and he was afraid that he would have a long night and a lot of dreams.
