Yue Shan led the way in front, cut down some weeds and branches that blocked the way, and asked casually: "I heard that the foreign guests are looking for yew trees this time?" ”

Secretary Zhang: "Yes." Have you ever seen a yew? ”

Yue Shan frowned: "I recognize most of the trees in the forest. It can also be called. But this is the first time I've heard of yew. What does it look like? ”

Secretary Zhang took out a few photos from his pocket.

Yue Shan looked at the few trees in the photo, as well as the black kernel fruit in a bright red robe, and his heart was shocked. Sure enough, it's the same as what my daughter said, yew is yew!

So the reason why they are looking for yew is really because it can refine paclitaxel to treat cancer?

He remembered his daughter's confession and wanted to remind Secretary Zhang, but because the Japanese were in front of him, he had to smile and ask: "This tree is rare." What's the use? ”

Hong Cun glanced at him quietly.

Secretary Zhang said: "I heard from foreign guests that this tree can make medicine. ”

Yue Shan asked: "Pharmaceutical?" What can be cured? ”

Hearing him ask this, Translator Chen interrupted: "It's just some headache and brain fever." It works great. ”

Yue Shan scolded his mother from the bottom of his heart. This translation is not sincere, helping foreign guests to coax them. He sighed: "Chinese herbal medicine is vast and profound. It's no surprise that yew works wonders. ”

The two foreign guests and Chen Yi glanced at each other and continued to go up the mountain without mentioning it.

Secretary Zhang was a little vigilant: Why did Chen Translator and the foreign guests be so nervous when it came to the medicinal effect? Is there a deception here? He pushed his glasses, deeming it necessary to look into the matter again.

After the reform and opening up, foreign capital poured into the country. Some cooperation is a win-win situation, but there are not a few enterprises and capital that suffer losses in their own countries.

Deliberately deviated from the mountain, the group walked for most of the day, only to see two yew trees, because they grew on the side of the mountain road and could not be avoided, and wanted to help the city to stay invested. Otherwise, Yue Shanshan didn't even want them to see these two trees.

The Japanese were so happy that their faces were red and their hands danced with excitement around the thick and lush yews, and strings of gurgling poured out of their mouths.

Aso asked Koshiyama eagerly, "Are there only these two?" Is there anything else in the mountain? ”

Yue Shan thought for a moment and shook his head: "This tree is extremely rare. I haven't seen any more. ”

After Chen translated, the Japanese were a little disappointed. However, since you have found two trees, it means that this is a habitable place for yews, and you will definitely find more yews.

They also wanted to continue deeper into the mountains, but Yue Shan refused: "It's getting dark." It's dangerous if you don't go down the mountain again. As he spoke, he glanced at Secretary Zhang.

Secretary Zhang was tired after climbing most of the Tianshan Mountain, and persuaded: "For the sake of safety, it's better to go back early." Let's come back another day. ”

The foreign guests had no choice but to reluctantly go down the mountain one step at a time.

When descending the mountain, it happened to meet Lingmei on another trail.

"Ling Mei." Hong Cun happily called her, found that she was carrying two large grass carp in her hands, and asked in surprise, "This is the fish you found from the mountains?" ”

Ling Mei raised the fish: "Hmm." Village chief, Dad, look at it, how is this fish? ”

What else can Daddy Xiao say, full of praise.

In fact, these two fish are indeed good fish. Look at the smooth body, the full belly of the fish, the neat and beautiful fish scales are shining one by one, and at this time he is desperately wagging his tail to break free from Ling Mei.

Secretary Zhang also began to look forward to the taste of yusheng. When he was a child, his grandfather once took him to taste Ninghua Yusheng, which was grass carp, and the taste was superb. In his experience, the two fish in the little girl's hand are better, after all, she grew up drinking mountain spring water, and the meat must be clean and sweet.

Aso and Matsuda whispered in Japanese: "After being in China for so long, it's the first time I've seen a girl who 'clear water comes out of hibiscus and naturally decorates'. ”

"Such a beautiful girl shouldn't be buried in the mountains for the rest of her life."

Translator Chen listened to their words and couldn't help but look at Ling Mei twice. Indeed, as they said, Ling Mei's eyebrows and eyes are like poetry, and she still has a jade-like skin that can be broken without the slightest fat powder. In time, I don't know what beauty will become. It's a shame to be born in this rural place. So two sentences followed.

Hong Cun couldn't help but joke about Yue Shan: "There are good women in the family." Ling Mei is so beautiful, be careful to pick her son-in-law in the future. ”

Ling Mei pretended to be shy and bowed her head and walked away quickly.

It's true, her old aunt still pretends to be shy, and her heart is full of panic.

Yue Shan thought that his daughter was going to get married, and he was mixed with joy and sorrow, and he was not annoyed by his smile, but sighed with a bitter face: "I hope she will polish her eyes and find a good one." ”

Secretary Zhang interjected at this time: "How old is Ling Ai?" ”

Yue Shan hurriedly said: "It's 16 New Year." ”

Secretary Zhang said, "That's too young." What is the son-in-law who is not a son-in-law? After a pause, he asked, "16 years old, it's time to take the high school entrance exam this year, right?" ”

Yue Shan was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Our family situation ...... Not allowed. ”

Secretary Zhang looked at Hongcun. Hong Cun explained: "He also has two boys in his family who also want to study. ”

There's really no way around that. Secretary Zhang looked at Ling Mei regretfully: "How are her grades?" ”

Yue Shan puffed up his chest: "In the three years of junior high school, I am in the top three of my grade every year. ”

Secretary Zhang's eyes lit up slightly, and he looked at Xiao Yueshan and said seriously: "She should be allowed to study hard and be admitted to a university in the future." Go to the big city, where there is a wider world. ”

Yue Shan laughed: "University? That's unthinkable! How many people in our town can be admitted to college every year? ”

Secretary Zhang pushed his glasses: "Always give it a try." Otherwise, are you willing to bury such a beautiful girl in the mountains? ”

Yueshan's smile grew.

He looked at his daughter's delicate back thoughtfully.

Ling Mei rushed back to the kitchen of the village committee, her mother was still taking a lunch break at home, looking around that there was no one inside or outside the kitchen, she put two grass carp into the water tank, and then began to prepare vegetables.

After a while, Officer Yang heard the sound and entered the house, took a few steps to the water tank, saw the three big fish in it, and said in surprise: "Ling Mei, this is the fish you bought?" This fish looks so good! Two are grass carp, hey, and the other one is what kind of fish? I've never seen one. ”

The whole is a large fish in the shape of a spindle, with a silver body and black spots on the back. It is as thick and long as a man's arm.

Ling Mei smiled: "Salmon, also called Masu." I got it from the other side of the river. ”

Officer Yang choked his throat and glared at him: "The other side?!" ”

Ling Mei booed: "I took the risk of being the boss and spent a lot of money." ”

Officer Yang stared at her incredulously: "You are so bold!" After a pause, he asked suspiciously, "Is it really that delicious?" ”

Ling Mei raised her face and pointed out: "The best freshwater fish shengli." ”

Officer Yang swallowed: "Okay, good." Then I am stained with the light of foreign guests today. ”

Ling Mei smiled. She caught two grass carp and a Masu in the secret base, and also folded two catties of wasabi. But Ma Su and Wasabi are too precious, and she is brought down the mountain in the existence space. If people bump into these two good things on Xianyun Mountain, how can they still keep them?

On the other side, Yue Shan finally returned to the reception of the village committee with the foreign guests. As soon as he returned, he was called by his daughter to help in the back kitchen. Secretary Zhang saw that he was walking on the ground for most of the day, and he was still alive and well, and several of them were so tired that their legs were weak, and he secretly praised in his heart: The physical fitness of the men in the mountains is amazing.

Fortunately, Director Yang was prepared, sent hot towels and hot water for them to wipe their hands and faces, and sat around the table to drink tea and knock melon seeds.

After chatting for a while, Secretary Zhang was invited to the kitchen by Secretary Yang. said that Xiao Yueshan was looking for him for something. Secretary Zhang was strange, but he still went to see him.

Xiao Yueshan was removing the fish bones, but with a dozen knives, he cleaned all the main bones and barbs of a large grass carp, leaving only two large pieces of pink and tender fish meat.

Secretary Zhang was shocked by Xiao Yueshan's knife work: "Good knife work!" Brother Xiao, you still have this ability! ”

Xiao Yueshan put down the knife after the grass carp slice, looked at the surrounding only his own family, and said to Ling Mei: "You come." ”

Ling Mei pursed her lips: "Secretary Zhang." You may not be able to believe what I say for a while. But after I finish speaking, you have to find a foreign expert to verify it. ”

Secretary Zhang smiled: "What is so serious?" ”

Ling Mei said softly: "Secretary Zhang, as far as I know, what is extracted from yew is not an ordinary medicine, but an extremely precious paclitaxel that can treat cancer. ”
