Chapter 24: Neighbors!

When I'm scared, I feel my mouth numb and spicy, my stomach growls, and it hurts.

Oops, no, no, no-Guan Yun squatted on the ground holding his stomach and cried for a while, and then suddenly said to Lao Wang: "Yang Xu, I can't." You can tell me, Auntie, I saved more than 2,000 yuan of private money and put it in a small box on the second floor of the roof——"

Hahaha, Li Lan couldn't help but squat in place holding her stomach. She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt.

Lao Wang also felt that this joke was a bit exaggerated, and quickly asked Lan Lan to call Big Ash and Little Ash to show Guan Yun the mushrooms they had collected: they were all hazelnuts.

"Did I eat poisonous mushrooms?" Guan Yun stood up. He felt much more comfortable, so he knelt down in front of the stump and kowtowed: "Thank you for your blessings!" ”

Bai was so busy that Lao Wang was very frustrated, and simply stopped talking to him. Led by Big Ash and Little Ash, he came to a hazel bush. This month, the hazelnuts have already borne fruit, but it is too early to ripen. However, there are a variety of mushrooms under the bushes, especially hazelnut.

"What a beautiful little umbrella!" Li Lan shouted, squatting there and began to collect mushrooms, but was stopped by Lao Wang: "The more beautiful the mushrooms, the more likely they are to be poisonous." The mushrooms you collect are called tiger urine moss, and if you eat them, you will be poisoned. It produces all sorts of hallucinations, gibberish, and goes crazy. If you're not afraid, eat it! ”

Li Lan stuck out her tongue and quickly withdrew her hand: "It's really like you said, isn't it like taking poison?" ”

Look at this girl's eagerness to try again. Lao Wang was really afraid that she would taste the taste of tiger pee. With this girl's temperament, she might really be able to do it. So he quickly threatened her: "It is said that some indigenous shamans in Tunguska will eat some poisonous mushrooms before doing this." After hallucinating, it feels like communicating with the gods, and it is also an all-natural poison. It's not easy to control the amount of it, in case they eat too much to kill! ”

Liane thought the short man was too mysterious, but after asking Wang Bei, she got the same answer, so the girl could believe it.

Before you know it, after a few hours in the forest, the sun is about to set, and the mosquitoes in the forest are gradually coming out, so the group returns with a full load.

The manager arranged dinner in the evening to express his gratitude to Wang Bei for purchasing Ganoderma lucidum. Rural people really value feelings more than money transactions.

I killed an old hen and stewed it in a pot, so I picked the mushrooms and put them in the pot to stew together. Chicken stew with mushrooms is definitely a famous dish here.

When the dish was served, Li Lan couldn't wait to pick up a mushroom: "This is a gift from the little squirrel." The taste must be different – uh-huh. Slippery. Tender. It's delicious! ”

The deliciousness of chicken broth and mushrooms blends and stimulates each other, and the effect is definitely greater than one plus one. Wang Bei had also eaten this dish before, but it couldn't be compared to the pot in front of her, which made her more convinced that the forest was definitely a treasure of feng shui.

So, he put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Our company also plans to cultivate a medical base, and all of us here are at the helm." I wonder if we can work closely together in the future. If my grandfather has no problem, we are ready to invest 5 million yuan and develop together. ”

Hearing 5 million, everyone here was stupid. It's like pie in the sky. No, it's just money!

After all, Uncle Manager has seen some big scenes. He was clicking on the small cigarette pouch to analyze whether there was moisture in Wang Bei's words. In his opinion, the girl was too young to count. He didn't know that the situation of Wang Bei's family was very special. Her father died young. She is the only one of the third generation and is destined to take over the family business in the future.

Lao Wang struck a match and helped the manager light the cigarette bottle. He didn't see smoke for a long time. He seems to have been hit by the 5 million yuan.

The manager was a little embarrassed and said, "Girl, can you speak more carefully, how to cooperate?" ”

Wang Bei had already thought about it, and immediately said bluntly: contract the barren mountain in the name of their company, and then entrust the villagers to plant herbs. However, the scale and variety of cultivation must be arranged and managed by the company. The initial investment is 5 million yuan, which will increase depending on the situation, accounting for 60% of the shares.

"We are worried that we will not be able to pay for the contracted forests. It's just in time for the rain! Guan Yun drank a small glass of wine and sipped it happily.

But Lao Wang frowned while listening, and finally coughed twice, interrupting the excited Wang Bei's words: "We are really short of money now, but we can't accept such cooperation." Miss Wu, all I can say is I'm sorry. ”

When Guan Yun's wine glass fell directly onto the table, the wine splashed on his face, and he didn't care: "Yang Xu, what are you talking about?" How can you deduce the money delivered to the door? ”

Wang Bei was also stunned for a moment, and Danfeng looked at Lao Wang suspiciously. He didn't know what was wrong.

"We also want to contract forests, but we don't want the will of others to be imposed on us. Our starting point is fundamentally different. You want to completely turn the forest into a medicine base, but I want to completely restore the ecosystem of the forest. There will inevitably be friction at that time, and different ways will not collude with each other. "Lao Wang is also on Luoguo Mountain now - money is very tight, but we can also distinguish the importance, what money should be spent and what money cannot be taken, I have a plan in mind.

Listening to his explanation, Uncle Manager and Guan Yun also fell into deep thought. In peasant ideology, the relationship between landlord and tenant was similar if Wang Bei had done so, but for Chinese peasants with a special interest in the land, this was absolutely impossible.

Soon, the manager's uncle also expressed his full support for Lao Wang. Guan Yun also thought about it for a moment and understood: "If we want to be the owner of the land, we won't be a tenant for you – but we still welcome you to buy the medicine and deliver it with one hand." Isn't that also a collaboration? ”

However, this is not how Wang Bei wants to work together. For her, this woodland is just a cornucopia of improving the company's efficiency. There is absolutely no emotion, and she can't understand Lao Wang's feelings for this land. The girl was also young and energetic, and Dan Fengyan stood up: "We can also finalize the contract directly through the government at the next level, and you will be the one who suffers." ”

"I know who would dare to do that!" Lao Wang watched anxiously. He slapped the table and shook his chopsticks on the kang. This woodland has poured too much effort into him. It is seen as the back garden of his own home. Who can touch it?

"Does that woodland belong to you?" Wang Bei also-for-tat.

Although Lao Wang has no money, he will never lack courage: "Then try it." The forest is on the north side of the river. I don't believe in evil. Even if you hire a hundred rangers, you won't be able to stop us from fighting in the forest! ”

There had been a peaceful dinner just now, and in the blink of an eye, the sword was drawn. Even Li Lan couldn't eat it. She held a mushroom between her chopsticks and said, "Speak well, Sister Qingqing and Fat Brother, you should calm down and eat vegetables first." ”

For the first time in her life, Wang Bei met an unreasonable fool like Lao Wang, who couldn't eat. She left the table with a cold face and greeted the manager's uncle. She ignored Lao Wang and walked out directly.

Seeing this, Li Lan hurriedly chased after him, then turned around and said, "Brother Pang, decorate me with chicken stewed mushrooms, take them away, and your so-called salted duck eggs-"

An unsuccessful cooperation in exchange for an unpleasant parting, although a little regretful, everyone firmly supported Yang Xu's idea. Because of the hospitality of rural people, Guan Yun still sent the two city girls out of the village and to the car, until he saw the SUV leave Jiangbei. Guan Yun kept saying, "Five million dollars, that's all."

However, Wang Bei, who was driving an off-road vehicle, was still angry. He couldn't help but get into the car to vent his anger. The buggy whizzed through the grass as if it were flying. Li Lan shouted in fright: "Sister Qingqing, slow down!" ”

After driving out for more than ten miles, it seemed to enter another world. The green meadows and meandering rivers are gone, replaced by a wilderness.

The boundaries are so clear, just like Wang Bei and Lao Wang, they belong to two worlds, so they can't urinate in the same pot.

Wang Bei was careless for a while, drove the off-road vehicle into a sand ditch, and caught him at once. No matter how much you refuel, the wheels will carry the sand into the sky, but the wheels can only spin in place.

This is a problem. If this bird breaks down in this place, it is impossible to meet a passing vehicle for ten and a half days. However, when she asked Wang Bei to go back and call people, she couldn't get rid of this face. When she remembered Yang Xu's fat face, she was very angry.

If they're lucky, they won't wait half an hour. At sunset, a van slowly approached from the opposite side. Li Lan jumped out of the car and waved her arms vigorously.

The van pulled to the side, and a sheltered woman got out of the car, looked at Li Lan, and then said "It's you" almost in one voice.

It was Mina who got out of the car. She had seen Li Lan once, so she was surprised. But Li Lan was very happy. After all, acquaintances are good at doing things. The van easily pulled the SUV out of cover, and both sides waved goodbye.

In the middle of the night, Wang Bei went home. The next morning, when she was having dinner with her grandfather, the old man's face showed her displeasure. After questioning, Wang Bei angrily said the reason.

"Miss, you're a little impatient. Fortunately, there is still room for manoeuvre. I want to see if the place north of the Yangtze River is as beautiful as you say. Wu Lao loved his granddaughter, so he didn't blame her too much. On the contrary, it was Jiangbei that aroused his strong interest.

"Grandpa, go by yourself. I don't want to go again anyway! Wang Bei was still angry.

Not to mention how the two of them fought, Lao Wang acted like nothing had happened. He chewed the chicken feet with relish and shouted, "Xiaobai, bring me the chicken feet in the basin—"

Although the surface is relaxed, Lao Wang's sense of urgency is getting stronger: I believe that more and more people will find that the forest is a treasure land, which will inevitably affect the mentality of contracting. If needle tips are really bad for wheat, it's not good for anyone. It's best to put the bag down early.

Things are back to where they started: lack of money.

Just as he was worried about the money, the manager's little grandson, Xiaoshan, ran in and said, "The car is here again!" ”

Didn't you die of a thief? Lao Wang thought that Wang Bei was back, so he went out to check it out. As he walked out of the village, he saw a van in the distance. He breathed a sigh of relief because it wasn't the dirt bike of the two girls.

After Lao Wang found Nana out of the car, he put all the unhappiness behind him and rushed up: "Why did you come back so early, I thought it would take half a month at the earliest!" ”

"Aren't you welcome?" Mina's smile was brighter than the sunset. It's just that I haven't seen her for more than ten days. The girl seems to have diminished a lot.

Lao Wang said: "We all hope that you will never leave. ”

Mina took a long breath, then stretched out her arms as if to hold the entire village in her arms: "This time, I will never leave-"

The conversation doesn't seem right? Lao Wang took a closer look at Nana and found that the girl was thinner, but her mental state was particularly good. Even he was infected and felt relaxed.

During this time, something must have happened to Nana - Lao Wang really guessed some clues, so he took a step forward and took her hand fiercely: "That's a hook, what if you regret it!" ”

Mina blushed, but she didn't break free as usual. When she was held by Yang Xu's brother's thick hands, she felt particularly safe. It's worth it to think about all the things that have happened in the last ten days, and all the struggles and struggles.

Unconsciously, her eyes were a little red, as if she had suddenly seen her loved ones after being wronged.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and an old man in good spirits walked down and looked at the children with a smile. Mina's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly broke free of Wang's palm. She said: "Brother Yang Xu, this is Xiao Li, he is here to find your baby!" ”

Baby Lao Wang remembered the iron plate with strange words, and immediately cheered up: since it is a treasure, it must be valuable. I'm missing it now!

Xiao Li is an expert in the study of ancient Chinese characters. When he took the piece of iron from Mina's hand, he immediately recognized it as Paspa, and read it excitedly: "In the name of the sovereign God, the emperor's orders cannot be disobeyed. If he does not obey, he will be punished and executed".

It must be a good thing to associate with the emperor. Although Xiao Li saw this thing for the first time, according to historical records, he still determined the origin of this thing: this is the gold medal given by Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty to the minister!

Considering the historical significance of this gold medal, Xiao Li speculated that there might be more archaeological discoveries near Jiangbei, so he took a few students and followed Mina.

Anyway, it's a holiday. It's best to find something, even if it's nothing. This is a leisure trip. Because Mina said that this Jiangbei is a beautiful mountain village.

Along the way, however, several of Xiao Li's high-ranking officials were disappointed, especially after crossing northern Jiangsu Province, which was like entering the Gobi no man's land.

Fortunately, while driving more than a dozen miles north of the Yangtze River, the scenery suddenly changed, and they finally found the feeling of entering the grassland. The sky is green and the grass is green, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the water birds are flying by, and life is thriving.

"The scenery here is unique." Xiao Li also liked it. He had always believed that Baiyun Mina would not cheat on his teacher.

"It's a pity that there are no sheep, the wind blows the grass low, and we can't see the beauty of the cattle and sheep." One of the female students also had some regrets.

Two other male students were also intrigued: "It would be nice if there were a few more horses!" ”

Hearing these compliments, Mina also felt a sense of pride in her heart, because from this moment on, she really regarded herself as a member of Jiangbei. So he smiled and explained to them: the pastures here have just been restored, sheep and horses are raised, etc., and the earliest time is next year.

When Mina told us that the grassland was the same as the desert they had seen last year, even Xiao Li was stunned because the contrast was too great. The person who could make such a strong contrast also aroused his strong interest.

At the edge of the village, after seeing Lao Wang's appearance, Xiao Li, who was already sophisticated, finally knew why Mina's worries had fallen here. Although on the surface, this honest short man is not outstanding, but at Xiao Li's level, he will definitely not judge people by their appearance.

So, he briefly talked about the origin of the gold medal, and Wang jumped up with joy: "Hello, Xiao Li, welcome to our Jiangbei - can you let me thoroughly understand how much this gold medal is worth?" ”

Vulgar – several of Xiao Li's students were a little disdainful. They don't understand how desperate the short man's thirst for money is.

"From a historical point of view, it is priceless. Of course, its value can also be measured from the perspective of a market economy. I don't know much about this, but millions are still worth it. Xiao Li was also slightly disappointed. He didn't want Mina to like superficial people.

That's right - when Lao Wang jumped to a height of eight meters, he almost rolled on the grass. At the same time, the manager's uncle and his colleagues also came. Lao Wang couldn't suppress his excitement and waved his arms vigorously: "Uncle Manager, the money we paid for contracting the mountains and forests is reasonable!" ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Even Nana was infected. She jumped up with Xiaobai and Lan Lan in her arms. At this moment, the steppe turned into a sea of joy.

This is to contract the barren mountains - Xiao Li also smiled. From Mina's mouth, he already knew that after the contract was signed, the steppe changed dramatically. It seems that the contract of the barren mountain is similar to this.

Think about the same reason: people are selfish. Can we treat our own things as we would treat others?

After a long period of joy, everyone took Xiao Li, who brought good news, as the guest of honor and invited him to the village. For such cultural people, their hearts are very respectful, and they are respected because of yearning.

A simple dinner was prepared at Lao Wang's house. It's not rich, but it's rural: fresh vegetables from the small garden, eggs and duck eggs from his family, all original. After eating, Xiao Li was full of praise and praised that this is the real green food.

Nana ran around the house, picking up Erhuang's chicks one by one, and the chicks were also caught from under the big reed flowers, rubbing their little heads one by one.

A chick also pecked Nana twice in the mouth with its beak, which made the old king jealous and threw it back on the big reed flower. This guy is what he calls "naughty", and he once went into Erhuangwo.

That night, Xiao Li led two male students to live at Lao Wang's house, and the girl followed Mina to Milan's house. As a result, Lan Lan and Xiaobai were also taken away by Mina.
