Chapter 568: The Most Honored Guest
Chapter 568 Nothing to Say All Night! The next day, Chen Yang returned to Wenshan. After a year or two of development, the green plant base here has begun to take shape.
The medicinal herbs produced are also labeled as Sikaitang Green Cultivation and are sold at a good price in the market.
The surrounding people saw the benefits of green plants and medicinal materials, and found Bailing one after another, and Bailing also set up a cooperative in the local area according to Chen Yang's instructions.
So far, the Haiwang Wenshan Green Plant Cooperative has also been formally established. When Chen Yang arrived, the first crop of medicinal herbs had just been planted.
Bai Ling took a group of technicians to guide the members of the club to farm. The main focus of green planting is that no pesticides and no fertilization are applied to let the medicinal herbs grow naturally.
The medicinal properties of the herbs grown in this way are the best. When Chen Yang came to the base, Bai Ling was busy in the fields.
"Mr. Chen, you're back!" The little girl came to him happily.
"Good work!" Chen Yang smiled. This kid is really capable, and he can support the base alone.
"It's not hard, it's not hard." The little girl hurriedly shook her head. The people here are very poor, and the cultivation of green medicinal herbs has opened up a way for the villagers to get rich, and the little girl is also very happy.
Next, Bailing introduced the basic structure of the cooperative. After seeing the profits of Neptune Green Plant, the surrounding villagers joined the cooperative one after another.
At present, the cooperative has a scale of more than 1,000 households, and there are nearly 100,000 acres of mountainous land. They strictly follow the requirements of the Sea King, do not spray pesticides, do not fertilize, and let the medicinal materials grow naturally.
Although it is a bit troublesome to repel insects and weeds, fortunately, the income of the medicinal materials produced is relatively high, and the members are also full of enthusiasm.
Very good! Chen Yang also nodded with satisfaction. With this cooperative, Neptune's high-quality cloud medicine herbs are much more abundant.
"That's right!" Chen Yang seemed to remember something, and said: "The R&D center bought a new technology before, using high-voltage electricity to weed. At present, we are working with relevant manufacturers to build high-voltage electric weeders. The products have come out, and the first batch has been delivered to the Anguo base, and the efficiency is very good. Maybe it will be available in the second half of the year. "One of the hardest things about green planting is insect repellent and weeding.
This requires a lot of manpower. The emergence of high-voltage electric weeders may be able to change this unfavorable situation.
This technology was invented by a participant at the original Yaowang Forum, and Neptunus bought it as soon as possible, and through cooperative development, it created an actual product.
The high-voltage electricity kills weeds with instantaneous high temperature, and by the way, it can also remove shallow grass seed insect eggs, so as to achieve the effect of weeding and insect control.
Although it can't completely kill bugs and weeds, the workload in the later stage is much reduced. This is the typical small technology with big effect.
"That's great." Hearing that Aquaman had a more advanced machine, Bai Ling was also happy, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing the small dimples on both sides.
Weeding and deworming is a very tiring thing in the first place, but if there is a new machine, it will be much easier for the villagers.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen. You're here......! Lang Yu drove a brand-new motorcycle to Chen Yang.
When the land was enclosed, Langyu's family participated more, so they made a lot of profits. After having the money, this guy also changed shotguns.
He was dressed in a suit, tie, sunglasses, and a mobile phone pinned to his waist. The hair comb is bright and bright, and the person is also in good spirits.
Not to mention, it's really a bit of an upstart.
"Director Lang, hello?" Chen Yang smiled. After the establishment of the cooperative, Bai Ling was the chairman, Ah Hu was the vice chairman, and Liu Hui was in charge of finance.
Lang Yu was recommended by the members as the safety director. It is said that it is in charge of safety, but in fact it is an idle errand to coordinate the relationship between villagers and cooperatives.
The villagers here respect the Sea King very much, and basically there is nothing to find fault with, so Lang Yu, the director, has nothing to do.
"Mr. Chen laughed, I am also serving everyone, serving everyone......" Lang Yu was also very proud, his eyes kept staring at Bailing.
Bailing didn't bother to pay attention to Lang Yu, and Lang Yu immediately stuck to Bailing again.
"Sister Bailing, I recently bought a motorcycle, that guy, he is old and energetic, if you have time, I'll take you for a ride?" No!
Bai Ling snorted, and the clothes looked like they didn't answer. Lang Yu took out a new mobile phone, handed it to Bai Ling, and said with a smile: "I saw this mobile phone in the town some time ago, and I think it suits you very well." Bailing, your phone has been used for many years......"
"Thank you for your kindness...... I don't need to! Bai Ling shook his head, as if he didn't want to deal with Langyu.
Lang Yu was like a gummy candy, sticking to her tightly. Wherever Bai Ling went, he followed, annoyed, when she suddenly received a phone call, and then she was stunned for a moment.
"Mr. Chen, my grandfather heard that you are coming, so you must come over now." The little girl said solemnly.
"Now?" Chen Yang was stunned for a moment. Bai Ling nodded.
"Alright then!" Chen Yang responded. Old Man Asa is the treasure of the town here, and he naturally does not dare to slack off.
"Mr. Chen, I'll take you over!" Bai Ling dragged Chen Yang up the mountain. The little girl walked lightly, almost dragging Chen Yang away.
"Alas, Bailing, Mr. Chen, you wait for me......" Lang Yu hurriedly rode his motorcycle and chased after the buttocks of the two.
However, the mountain road leading to the old man Asa was relatively steep, and Lang Yu accidentally drove the car into the ditch, which made the little girl laugh.
Soon came to the cabin where the old man of Asa lived. Bai Ling didn't stop, turned around and left. Old man Asa was already waiting in front of the door at this time, and he also wore a rare national costume, and then slowly made a courtesy.
"On behalf of the mountain people, the old man thanked Mr. Chen for his great kindness." Sir, I can't help it! Chen Yang hurriedly supported him and said with a smile: "The Sea King is here thanks to the old gentleman's care, and I should thank you." "The Neptune Green Plant Base can establish a foothold in the local area, and the old man Asa is naturally very successful.
Otherwise...... The old man Asa shook his head and said, "Shi Qianjinyi, it is difficult to teach a skill." Mr. Chen has found a way out for the mountain people so that they can live and work in peace and contentment. This is a trip of great virtue, and the old man is grateful. "Over the years, the mountains have also become increasingly poor.
The family worked hard and barely had enough to eat. A lot of people moved out of the mountains and into the towns and cities.
Those who were left behind were old people and children. In the long run, this place where our ancestors have lived for generations may be empty.
The old man Asa has also been worried. Now, Aquaman has established a cooperative here, every family has a new livelihood, and young people have stabilized.
When young people take root here, the surrounding villages can prosper steadily. All of this is the credit of Chen Yang.
So the old man is very grateful.
"It's almost time......" Old Man Asa stood up and picked up his cane.
"Old man, what are you ......" Chen Yang was a little confused. Asa smiled slightly and said, "Please come with me, Mr. Chen." "Lead the way.
Don't look at the old man Asa is so old, but his steps are still very vigorous. After walking for a few miles, we came to a small valley.
There seems to be an old building in the valley, and there are many people around it, all dressed in festive costumes, and some are holding gongs and drums.
Seeing that Chen Yang was a little puzzled. At this time, another old man in the crowd shouted: "Your Excellency has arrived!" The brass drums on both sides immediately rang out.
Then there are earthen guns and firecrackers. The boys danced with the little girls. Buman and Tian Guang are impressively listed.
Seeing Chen Yang coming, the two of them squeezed their eyebrows at him. This...... Chen Yang was a little dumbfounded.
"Mr. Chen, please come with me!" An old man came up to him and leaned down to make a salute.
Chen Yang, accompanied by the two old men, walked into the crowd. This building is a local ancestral hall where their ancestors are enshrined.
Every March 3rd, they come to worship. Today is not the third day of March, but Chen Yang is a distinguished guest, and the clan elder decided to set up a banquet in the ancestral hall, which is the highest hospitality etiquette in the local area.
"Patriarch, please!" An old man shouted. The old man of Asa stepped forward slowly, followed by two juniors, one holding incense and the other holding gold leaf.
On the altar was an incense burner and several offering plates. A cow's head, a pig's head, a sheep's head, a chicken, and a fish.
In addition, five-color glutinous rice, vegetables, melons and fruits. Old man Asa said a few words that he did not understand, then lit incense and bowed.
Everyone bowed together in the example of Old Man Asa. After putting on incense and burning gold leaf, the old man Asa withdrew from the ancestral hall.
"Welcome!" An old man shouted again. Chen Yang was invited by Tian Guang and Buman. Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the audience stared at him in unison, making him a little uncomfortable.
Old Man Asa smiled and said in a low voice, "Don't be nervous, do what I just did." Chen Yang had no choice but to do so.
The two descendants also cooperated with him to complete the worship. At this moment, two young girls walked up.
One girl holds a colorful robe in both hands, and the other holds a headscarf and belt. The two came to Chen Yang's side and gently replaced Chen Yang.
After changing his clothes, Chen Yang suddenly felt that he had become the brightest boy on the field.
"Distinguished guests, please take a seat!" Mr. Asa sat down with Chen Yang in his arms, and it was the first one. This table is not simple, there are clan elders, village chiefs and elders of various departments, and ordinary people are not qualified to share the same table.
There were also a few tables around the area, and everyone happily sat down. Old Man Asa slowly stood up and said, "Thank you Mr. Chen for everything you have done for our clan, from now on, Mr. Chen will be the most honored guest of our clan." My people respect the most distinguished guests with a glass. As he spoke, he raised his wine glass with both hands and bowed down to Chen Yang.
"The old gentleman is too polite, Chen Yang is ashamed, he is ashamed!" Chen Yang hurriedly supported him. Asa Ke is the local patriarch and the god of the locals, how dare Chen Yang accept his worship?
Asa smiled, not reluctantly. Chen Yang raised his wine glass, gestured left and right, and drank it.
Good! The crowd cheered in unison. With the guests drinking this glass of wine, the feast is officially begun. Chen Yang originally thought that this was the end.
But he was still too young. Ten minutes later, the point came. I saw a young girl come to Chen Yang's side with a sea bowl, the bowl was full of wine, and there was a spoon in it.
The girl's eyes are bright and radiant. Chen Yang felt a little familiar, and after a few careful looks, he realized that it was Bailing.
She has changed into a national costume. The Zhuang family should sing the toast...... The sound of mountain songs is accompanied by wine and drinking...... The more distinguished guests, the warmer the heart...... It's like a spring breeze crossing a hillside...... Three glasses of welcome wine...... Bai Ling walked and sang, and his singing voice was indescribably beautiful.
This is a toast song of the Zhuang people, right? Chen Yang nodded. When Aquaman opened, Buman's family sang a similar song.
Bai Ling came to Chen Yang's face, smiled slightly, then took out a soup spoon, scooped a spoonful in the soup bowl, and sent it to Chen Yang.
"Distinguished guests, please drink a full spoon." Chen Yang was a little overwhelmed. What is this? Bailing motioned for him to open his mouth.
Chen Yang opened his mouth. The girl quickly poured the wine from the spoon into his mouth. It's a big spoonful!
And I use the same spoon that I use for stir-frying. One scoop is half a catty. Boy! This girl did it on purpose, didn't she?
Chen Yang almost choked out. The rice wine brewed in the mountains has a lot of medicinal herbs and has a mellow taste. Fortunately, it is rice wine, and the degree is not high, otherwise after two spoonfuls, Chen Yang will be almost the same.
Bai Ling handed the spoon to Chen Yang again, and motioned for him to feed himself a spoonful as well. This is also the rule of the Zhuang people. The host toasts the guest with a spoonful, and the guest returns a spoonful.
Chen Yang picked up the spoon, glanced at Bai Ling with a smile, and then scooped a full spoonful. Come and don't be rude.
Bai Ling smiled, opened his ruddy mouth and drank down. Not bad! Chen Yang nodded. He didn't expect Bailing to have such a good amount of alcohol.
The humidity in the mountains is heavy, and wine can drive Han to warm up, so I started drinking it when I was young.
"Distinguished guest, bring in another spoonful of wine." The girl beside Bai Ling also scooped a spoonful and sent it to Chen Yang with a smile.
Belch! Seeing the Zhuang girls lined up behind, Chen Yang's smile immediately froze. It's ready for a wheel war.
Looks like I'm going to be wheeled today. However, in such a scene, Chen Yang naturally couldn't wipe people's face, so he simply gritted his teeth and drank it again.
These girls are also very measured, and after one or two rounds, they let Chen Yang rest, eat some food, relax their breath, and then continue to toast.
The beauty toasted, and Chen Yang couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and drink the liver. After a few times, the strength of the wine came up, and Chen Yang's eyes began to glaze up.
Although the degree of this rice wine is low, it has enough stamina. Chen Yang drank four or five catties. But there are still many girls behind, Chen Yang can only grit his teeth and insist.
It's easy that the girls who toasted are over, and he just wants to take a break, when Tian Guang comes up.
"Boss, I'll toast you too. What, the soup is too small, let's use a bowl. As he spoke, he picked up the sea bowl and drank it in one gulp.
This thing is a wine spill. Drinking with him? Stupid, right? Chen Yang couldn't support it anymore at this moment, and directly rolled his eyelids and fell asleep.
The old man Asa immediately arranged for someone to send Chen Yang back. This glorious and arduous task naturally fell to Tian Guang's head.
Who asked him to pour Chen Yang down? Tian Guang naturally took the lead.
