Chapter 35: Efficiency!

Annatto? Lao Wang has only seen this legendary tree on TV for 3,000 years, and he only knows that it grows in the arid region of northwest China, and its vitality is very tenacious. It is said that "you will not die for 3,000 years of life, and you will not die for 3,000 years of death", which is quite legendary. But will it survive as it moves from the northwest to the northeast?

Li Ming, who has a thick beard, patted his chest to make sure that the redwoods could grow properly in the climate here, and said very frankly that he would go to Lao Wang's field trip.

Of course, Lao Wang will not refuse this request. It can be seen from this that this bearded Li Ming is definitely not a mercenary businessman, but a heroic northwest man who is worth befriending.

Regarding the planning of the grassland, Lao Wang also considered transplanting trees in the past, but planting trees is different from planting grass, and the roots of the trees are relatively deep. What kind of tree species should be transplanted has not been well considered. Moreover, the matter is not on his agenda. Yang Rui just refused to accept experts.

The more they talked, the more speculative they became. Instead, they put He Shuiqing aside. However, the powerful woman doesn't care about the hustle and bustle. She took Lan Lan's small hand and asked the question. After learning that Lan Lan couldn't speak, her compassion was even stronger.

Only when you have children, can you be more like a woman, Lao Wang concluded in his heart.

After the working meal, the group drove to Jiangbei. He Shuiqing also attaches great importance to these two experts. She also wanted more greenery to be added to northern Jiangsu, so she went there with her.

While the off-road vehicles were stopping, Li Ming and his assistants came down from time to time to conduct field visits, digging holes with shovels to extract soil and discussing the water table. Look at their beards full of vicissitudes. There is certainly no shortage of this kind of thing.

"It's not promising. The drought here is a bit beyond my judgment. The water table is too deep and the young mahogany roots are not developed enough to absorb enough water. Relying on artificial irrigation is a long-term and arduous task. Li Ming explained his point of view in the car, and his face was not so optimistic.

Lao Wang is very optimistic: when I get to my place, I want to be old. Hu will be pleased.

After driving more than 40 miles, the scenery in front of me suddenly changed. The yellow sand was replaced by a patch of green. The vast surface of the lake resembles a mirror, and the meandering river resembles a jade belt, which makes the others completely stunned.

The driver was also stunned. As a result, the buggy plunged headlong into the grass, alarming a flock of lost wild birds. was so anxious that Lao Wang shouted: "Don't drive on the grass, it will be almost the same in two years, and now it's too squeamish!" ”

With a squeak, both cars stopped, and the people in the cars rushed down and fell into the arms of the steppe. Breathe deeply. It is full of the aroma of the prairie. The grass and flowers are intoxicating.

"How did you do that?" The most shocking thing is He Shuiqing. For her, it was a miracle. Just a few months ago, it was a deserted place.

Li Ming said with a smile: "There is definitely no problem with planting rosewood here, let alone rosewood." Even an ordinary poplar tree can grow into a towering tree! ”

Redwood is a tree with a strong vitality. As long as the river flows, its seeds float to where they take root and germinate, then form a lush redwood forest.

In the sky, the figures of several large eagles swept across the sky, and people were amazed again. Because grassland carving is a mirror of ecology, even He Shuiqing is not calm, he is planning to build a few eagles here.

The so-called scaffolding is actually a wooden pole that has been buried artificially. It resembles a telephone pole and facilitates the nesting and breeding of raptors on the prairie.

However, Lao Wang dismisses this: I still use the scaffold, isn't it funny?

"Robert, this is a good place for you. We will be sure to plant rosewood seeds for you for free. Decades later, everywhere along the river is a green redwood forest, which is simply beautiful! Li Ming is very happy to see that the redwood forest is a complete biosphere, which is of great significance. His dream may come true here.

Lao Wang also understands this. The truth is similar to their willow tree. Hundreds of acres of willow grove is a small ecosystem:

Birds breed here. When he was a child, he often picked up bird eggs under the willow bushes, and all kinds of bird eggs could not be picked up at all; The willow grove is also a sanctuary for herbivores such as hares; The prosperity of herbivores inevitably leads to carnivores, from which a complete food chain is formed.

Unfortunately, in recent years, due to the reclamation of farmland, the lack of use of wicker, and the serious utilitarianism of modern man, the wicker shrub has almost disappeared and the entire ecosystem has been severely damaged. What he did was heal.

On the green grassland, Li Ming from the northwest and Lao Wang from the northeast found the same kind in their eyes!

Li Ming went to the meadow, just like the beard went to the bank and couldn't leave. Lao Wang saw that the sun had set, so he had to announce again: "Brother Hu, you are not hungry, hurry home and eat!" ”

"Your pastures are well managed, and even I want to eat grass.

Many people in the village also picked it up. On the way back to the village, while chatting, Lao Wang learned that due to his professional characteristics, he always sleeps in the open. Hu's rheumatism is more severe.

When Guan Yun heard this, he immediately stood up and patted Li Ming on the shoulder: "Brother, I dare to assure you, you need to drink the medicinal wine I prepared, you can jump freely, you can also jump!" ”

Li Ming didn't know Guan Yun's roots. He believed this and couldn't help but thank him. Lao Li couldn't stand it anymore: "I understand, don't be careless." You're still jumping. You should take two steps to see it first. You're about to catch up with the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis. You're drawing circles with your arms and legs! ”

In fact, it's not as bad as he says. Guan Yunding is a slow and methodical person, he walks very slowly.

Guan Yun's favorite thing is face, so he quickly broke up with Lao Li with a straight face: "Yang Wei, I have all the medicinal wine, this is what Mr. Wu said, and the effect is a little bit of leverage." If you don't believe it, ask the manager, the day before yesterday I drank one or two bottles of medicinal wine at my house, which were from Zhuangyang, and almost collapsed the kang at night. Manager, right? ”

The usually serious manager uncle rarely blushes, drops the phrase "don't pull the child", walks briskly, and pretends to run to the front to lead the way.

Looking at this posture, Hu Ming also muttered a little: Is it really effective?

It is better to ask the child about this, because the little boy is not sensible and he is telling the truth. I happened to see a group of children hiding cats and cats under a big elm tree at the entrance of the village, so I called the manager's little grandson: "Hill, you heard anything when you went to bed the night before?" "In rural areas, grandchildren usually sleep in the same room as their grandparents.

Guan Yun is the worst. He was still cutting longitudinally next to him: "Did your grandfather and your grandmother fight on the kang?" ”

When children don't understand men and women, they often mistake it for a fight.

The mountain is sincere, nodding vigorously. Guan Yun's face immediately burst with joy: "Look, I'm not wrong - is the battle fierce?" ”

Only Xiaoshan continued: "It's so fierce, my grandmother got angry and almost kicked my grandfather off the kang, saying that grandpa was a tin spear head. But I searched everywhere in the warehouse, but I couldn't find my grandfather's gun head. If I play with a red tassel gun, it will be very face-saving. ”

Everyone was shocked at first, and then burst into laughter. Guan Yun looked a little frustrated, and kept saying, "What's the difference?" What's the difference, Yang Wei? Why don't you give me your tiger bones? It is good for removing rheumatism. ”

Li Ming also smiled and made up his mind: Guan Yun's medicinal wine, he wouldn't dare to drink a drop of it no matter what.

There will definitely be some meat in the jokes of a group of masters, so He Shuiqing, a woman, is not at ease. He led Lan Lan and Xiaobai to Lao Wang's house first.

It was initially thought that a big man would lead a woman in life. It must be Pei Bier. But when he walked into the yard, he found the house tidy, except for the dilapidated one. There are swallows chirping on the roof, birds singing on the green branches, and vegetables smelling in the garden. It's a hilarious scene.

Especially when Lan Lan didn't come back all night, the Rhubarb family heard her movement and ran out of the barn to say hello. An obese weasel cub also crawled into Lanlan's arms along her pants and sat down beautifully.

Li Ming looked stranger and stranger as the chickens, ducks, and geese in the yard came to greet him. A flock of half-sized chicks flew around the woman. The ducks nodded and bowed. The goose is more stable and alert and wary of her.

A good goose is better than a tiger. Perhaps it also retained more wild habits during the domestication process, so the goose is very alert and has a fearless spirit. There is absolutely no problem with housekeeping. Their weapon is their big mouth. They often go to other people's houses to be naughty, and then their legs are bruised and purple by the goose.

Interestingly, in addition to this litter of chickens, the remaining ducks and geese originally belonged to other families in the village, but somehow, they were domesticated to the old Wang's family. They can't be kicked out, and the host can't call them back. In the end, Lao Wang had to give some compensation to the original owner, but they didn't want it in the end.

"Come back!" Mina walked out of the room wearing an apron. She also missed half the night last night.

Lan Lan's little hand was raised warmly and affectionately. She felt the softness and warmth of her little hands. Then she asked Li Ming next to her: "Hello." ”

Is it the mistress of the house? I don't know why. Li Ming suddenly felt a little disappointed.

At this time, Lao Wang and a large group of people all walked into the courtyard with cheers and set up two large tables in the courtyard. Milan, Aunt Biao, and the others served the dishes like flowing water. Everyone screamed and began to eat and drink.

Li Ming is also very straightforward. He was not afraid of such a scene. Instead, he holds a large bowl and jingles with everyone. His beard was stained with glittering beads of wine.

The men soon got together, but Li Ming was a little uncomfortable at first, because she had a habit of cleanliness and had never participated in such an open-air table. If there are mung bean flies in the bowl, it will be nauseous if you don't eat them for three days.

But as time went on, she gradually discovered that not only were there no flies in the yard, but there were no small flies when the door light was turned on, and the floor was clean, with no chicken droppings, duck droppings, or other dirty things.

At this time, a magical scene occurred, the scary-looking tiger suddenly purred twice, and then drove the chickens, ducks and geese out of the yard. A few ducks still quacked discontentedly. It was the tiger that drove the duck to quack.

"What's going on?" Old. Hu was also puzzled when he saw this scene.

"It's getting dark. Chickens and ducks are coming to the shelves. Blackie took them to clean up the inventory in his stomach. "Lao Wang has been here for a long time and has long been used to it, so he helped the guests solve their doubts.

No wonder there was no chicken poop in the yard - Li Ming was surprised and watched the chickens, ducks and geese return to their nests. She was much happier, and gradually fell in love with the atmosphere: the night breeze that brought coolness, and the scent of vegetables and fruits, which made her a little intoxicated.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables—" Mina used chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Li Ming from time to time, just like a hostess.

Maybe the mood is getting better. Li Ming also felt a little hungry, especially those fresh vegetables, which were very good to her. Even in her senses, this is the best vegetable she has ever eaten!

Li Ming is not an ordinary person. He has been pampered since he was a child. The vegetables at home are specially served, and he doesn't seem to have that taste.

When she was puzzled, Milan also used chopsticks to clip a large piece of scorpion to her: "Big sister, look at your thinness, eat more meat, this mutton is boiled in boiled water, it is very full." ”

Milan almost said she was bald. At first she wanted to say that the lamb was white. Thanks to Toromin, the village also picked up dozens of sheep for free. Just like there are guests today, Lao Li killed one.

Li Ming rarely eats mutton, mainly because he hates the fishy smell of mutton. However, the hospitality of other people made her a little awkward. At this time, she saw Lao Wang at the next table throw a bone at the tiger. The tiger jumped up, intercepted the bone in the air, and then chewed it a few times before swallowing it. Li Ming couldn't help but widen his eyes: "This one is big. Old. The tiger is cute. I also give it a piece of meat. After saying that, he threw the scorpion in the bowl to Xiao Hei.

It stands to reason that the sheep and the scorpion have not eaten yet and have a lot of meat on them, but Xiao Hei did not jump into the air to catch it with his mouth, and even after the bones fell, he did not pay attention to the tiger. No

"Eat. It's a reward for you. Li Ming blinked his eyes and continued to persuade: Are you embarrassing me like this?

Saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth, but he refused to eat. Finally, he turned his back to the seductive sheep bone, perhaps out of sight or in his mind.

Lao Wang also drank a lot of wine and shook his head: "Commander He Qi, my little black is not your subordinate. Tell them to go east and not dare to go west. Blackie is a good tiger and strangers don't eat what they feed. The speaker grinned, but the next big-bellied secretary heard him frown: "This short man, don't take such a person to kill--

As if to prove his words, Xiao Bai picked up the scorpion from the ground and put it next to Xiao Hei's mouth. As a result, the tiger first carefully bit the bone and then devoured it.

"This is a real good tiger!" Instead of feeling embarrassed, Li Ming turned to admire Xiao Hei. From her sparkling eyes, Lao Wang saw sincerity. It seems that this woman's temperament is really unpredictable. So he patted Xiao Hei's big head and said, "I will treat you well today." Anyway, these mongrels are also white - haha, boiled in white water! ”

But Xiao Hei suddenly turned his head and roared in his mouth. Then, a strange voice floated into the courtyard: "Have I ever tasted boiled mutton in white water?" ”

Everyone looked at it together, and then Guan Yun couldn't sit on the bench. It's Luo Ming. Behind him, there was a large group of people, including several policemen.

Luo Ming twisted the snake's waist to the table, and reached out to pick up a piece of lamb bone from the large plate. After taking a bite, he patted his mouth, nodded, and said, "It's really fresh." Must be freshly slaughtered. The only downside is that the lamb has a special flavor, like a thief's taste. ”

For a moment, the huge courtyard fell silent. In the dim light, Luo Ming's face showed a proud and hideous expression.

"The lamb we brought from the flag in the afternoon was of course fresh." Just when everyone seemed to be dumb, Li Ming suddenly spoke. He also pinched a lamb bone with his long fingers, tore off a strip of meat with his white and neat teeth, and chewed it slowly.

Luo Ming couldn't help but see that her eyes were bright. The beauties are already beautiful and delicious, not to mention that Li Ming's eating style is very elegant. Although he was overbearing, he still had a vision. After glancing at the cold woman, he raised his orchid finger and shook it at Li Ming: "This sister is ......"

"He, the commander of the Subei Banner!" The big-bellied secretary knew it was time for him to step up. Although he knew that he had never prepared lamb when he came, as a secretary, the leader's words were always right.

This is a big start - Luo Ming has a little drum in his heart, but considering the losses he has suffered in the past two days and the suffocation in his heart, he can't care about the female flag bearer in front of him. He turned to the policeman and nodded, and then a middle-aged policeman said, "Mr. Yang told us that someone in the village stole his sheep. I hope you will cooperate with our investigation. ”

"Yes, yes, I led my comrade police from house to house." After knowing Luo Ming's intentions, Lao Wang breathed a sigh of relief: most of the sheep were sold by him, and now he couldn't tell where they went.

The police were happy to see such a talkative person. They were worried when they came, because the more remote the village, the more ignorant the villagers became, and the more difficult it was to enforce the law.

"Comrade police officers have come all the way. He certainly hasn't eaten yet. Eat first, then fill your stomach. Guan Yun also walked up and dragged the policeman to the table.

The police are a little embarrassed: the people here are real!

Lao Wang knew the root of the matter, and when he saw Guan Yun sweating on his bare head, he knew that this guy had a ghost in his heart. After some thought, Lao Wang guessed something, and then he began to sweat: it must be that the villagers were greedy and cheap, and secretly hid the sheep that ran into the village!

Originally, he thought that there were only one or two, and that he would be clean after killing and eating meat. But looking at Guan Yun's posture, there must be a lot more. If someone stole it and got it, it would be a huge loss.

So he also hurriedly asked the guests to stabilize the police first. Unexpectedly, these police comrades refused official duties. Instead, they dragged Lao Wang out of the yard and conducted an investigation throughout the village.

"I'm done with the kid—" Guan Yun, pale, blind, took two steps forward before sitting back down. However, he forgot that it was more than a meter away from the stool behind him and sat on the ground.

Lao Li grabbed him by the collar and muttered, "I just said that I would leave those sheep in the woods for two days, but you just won't listen." Maybe you have to crouch down this time! ”
