Early in the morning, on a highway leading to Jiangshan County, a Mercedes-Benz luxury car galloped back from Wucheng.

Sitting in the car was Ma Haolei, who came back from attending his grandfather's birthday banquet in Wucheng a few days ago.

It's just that compared with him who went away with depression at the beginning, he is more energetic now.

In the back seat of his car, there was a middle-aged man with a Chinese face and a pair of thick eyebrows, which made him feel that he was not angry and arrogant.

Halfway through, Ma Haolei turned his head sideways and said to the man behind him: "Uncle Ge, don't rush back to the bureau first, I'll take you to see a friend first." ”

The middle-aged man in the back seat, named Ge Qingshan, is a captain of the Jiangshan County Police Department.

is Ma Haolei's father-in-law, but the two have always been called uncles and nephews.

Because Ma Haolei's biological mother had saved Ge Qingshan's life before, and Ma Haolei's biological mother, in order to save Ge Qingshan, also left a dark illness.

Although her death was not directly caused by a dark disease, Ge Qingshan has been blaming himself, feeling that Ma Haolei's mother's death has an inseparable relationship with him, and he regards Ma Haolei as his own.

After Ma Haolei was demoted from the family, he would come to Jiangshan County to study, and even stay here to develop, which was also the reason why Ge Qingshan was operating behind the scenes, and after Ma Haolei worked, Ge Qingshan vigorously helped Ma Haolei.

"Which friend? So you don't even go home, you want to see him? Is it a boyfriend or a girlfriend? Don't forget that you're a man with a wife. Ge Qingshan heard Ma Haolei's words, was a little curious, and joked with a smile.

"What, uncle, what you said, do I seem to be the kind of person who is not pragmatic?"

For Ge Qingshan, Ma Haolei didn't hide anything, and told Ge Qingshan about how Lu Tao reminded him in front of him, so as to avoid being framed in this birthday banquet.

"Is there such a thing?" After Ge Qingshan heard this, he was quite shocked, and felt that this Lu Tao was not ordinary, so he reminded Ma Haolei by listening to a few words. He straightened up, somewhat unacceptable.

Ma Haolei didn't look back, looked ahead, grabbed the steering wheel tightly with both hands and said:

"yes, so I want you to go and meet him, and I'm just going to thank him by the way."

"If it weren't for him, how could I have such a beautiful scenery when I came back this time? It must be disgraced. Even if you don't do it well, you may have been killed in Wucheng. ”

Hearing Ma Haolei say this, Ge Qingshan nodded in response: "It's time to thank you." ”

However, after Ge Qingshan calmed down, he thought about it again and again, but he still didn't take Lu Tao to heart, he just felt that Lu Tao was lucky, so he heard about Ma Haolei, thus helping Ma Haolei avoid this incident.

Because he is the person who does not believe in this kind of feng shui and other things the most.

The car was quiet like this, only the sound of Ma Haolei's radio music remained.

At this time, in Dayuan Village, Lu Tao and Zhang Hu also set off very early.

The main reason is that Zhang Hu is in a hurry, and he came to the door early in the morning to knock on the door.

Last night, after the gynostemma they collected was sorted out, they picked out more than 300 catties of five-leaf vines.

There are only more than 400 catties of gynostemma left.

Lu Tao even felt that maybe the proportion of gynostemma blue was higher in the plots at the beginning, and the proportion of gynostemma was lower in some plots in the back.

In this way, there is no difference between the more than 500 catties collected on the first day and the more than 700 catties collected yesterday.

It took more than a hundred more, and the amount of gynostemma received was the same.

made Lu Tao cry and laugh a little.

After sending the gynostemma blue, Lu Tao specially asked Zhou Tieshu about this issue:

"Brother Zhou, I want to ask, how many catties of gynostemma do you use in Renhetang a day now? The supply on my side is not very stable. ”

"Sometimes there are many of them, and sometimes they are of small numbers, so I want to talk to you first."

I thought that if the quantity was not enough, I might have to think of another way.

Zhou Tieshu explained: "Actually, on our own side, we usually use about 200 catties to 300 catties of gynostemma a day, but sometimes there are more or less on your side, it doesn't matter, I can help you even." ”

"Oh, I see."

Hearing the amount Zhou Tieshu said, Lu Tao was relieved, and he could at least stabilize three hundred catties.

briefly communicated with Zhou Tieshu again, and told Zhou Tieshu that if any villagers came to sell gynostemma, help tell him that he could count it.

Of course, Zhou Tieshu was full of promises to this benefactor, not to mention that Lu Tao had helped him, even if it was for the sake of Zhou Lijun's daughter being saved by Lu Tao, he would help himself.

Then Lu Tao exchanged the more than 400 catties of gynostemma for more than 2,000 yuan, and left Renhetang.

Lu Tao was not in a hurry to take Zhang Hu home, but took Zhang Hu to dangle in the county.

I want to see if there are any good business opportunities.

Because the gynostemma on the mountain on my side will always be dug one day, so I can't sit back and eat empty at that time, right?

Be sure to broaden your path to earning.

The two of them were walking down the street when they passed a place like a snack street.

There are a lot of small vendors selling all kinds of snacks.

There are those who sell fried cakes, some sell radish cakes, as well as rock sugar gourds, popcorn, rice crisp strips, twist flowers, fried dough sticks, steamed buns, hemp balls, etc.

In this era, the market economy has just begun to gradually open up, and the management of the city is not so strict.

Some of them are mobile stalls, swaying around various places while shouting at the top of their voices. Others find a place to set up a stall here.

And this snack street is regarded as the local government, which supports everyone to start a business, and specially allocated an area similar to a small exchange meeting, which is specially used for all kinds of people who set up stalls at fixed points.

Lu Tao walked into the snack street, and immediately all kinds of fragrant tastes, mixed with all kinds of frying and selling sounds, rushed to his face.

Zhang Hu behind him had already been hooked away, his eyes scanned back and forth between the various stalls, and saliva had unconsciously flowed out of his mouth, dripping all the way.

There was no way, Lu Tao had to buy him a little snack and block the valve where his saliva was overflowing.

Lu Tao also bought a lot of snacks for Lu Sitian by the way, but it was when he bought rock sugar gourds.

He heard the two men next to him talking.

"This snack street, after eating for a long time, I get tired of eating, and I don't know what to eat every day!"

"Who's to say no, mainly, there are no meat dishes, the only place with meat, that is, the place where steamed buns are sold."

"Yes, these things, when snacks are good, there is nothing that can make me a snack, for a long time it is peanut ham sausage wine, and I will be sick to my stomach when I drink it!"

"Yes, yes, sometimes in the evening, it's just about having a beer and a bite to eat. I don't know why there is something good. ”

Lu Tao didn't have the heart to listen to the next words, because Lu Tao was already a little faintly excited when he heard this.

Appetizer!

Absolutely!

Crayfish!

Lu Tao always remembered that in the last life, in many places, when it came to the season of crayfish, everyone's supper or snack was mainly crayfish.

And there is another key point that at this time in Jiangshan County, stir-fried crayfish or eating crayfish has not yet begun to popularize.

Especially in those rural areas, everyone agrees that lobsters crawl out of graves and eat dead human flesh. In addition, in this era, in many places, cremation has not been particularly popular, and such rumors have been widely accepted by everyone at once. Naturally, everyone doesn't eat lobster.

And the processing and cooking methods of spicy lobster, garlic lobster and other lobsters, Lu Tao knows how to get them.

As long as you set up a stall by yourself, with the deliciousness of the crayfish, it will definitely sell out!

Not to mention earning a few thousand a day, at least earning a hundred yuan a day is stable, and the lobster's business is definitely much longer than gynostemma, at least you can do it for a few months, and after a few months, you already have more ways to make money.

Lu Tao had a new direction in his heart, so he hurried home again.

I'm going to make a batch of lobsters and come out to try them.

But when Lu Tao just returned home.

It's a little strange to see that there don't seem to be people who come to sell gynostemma today, and it stands to reason that at this point in time, there will be more or less a few of them.

"Lu Tao!"

While Lu Tao was pondering, a voice came from near Lu Tao's house.

Then Lu Tao saw that Zhu Mazi was walking from the side of the house with seven or eight street walkers.

Apparently they had been waiting here for a while.

Those villagers who came to sell gynostemma were probably scared away by Zhu Mazi's people.

However, Zhu Mazi and the others were obedient this time, and they didn't go directly into their own homes, but just stood outside.

Lu Tao smiled secretly in his heart, it seems that the last time he went to Zhu Mazi's side to beat him, it can be regarded as Zhu Mazi has learned a lesson.

"How?" He took advantage of the situation to put the flat burden in his hand in front of him and said indifferently.

Just his one action made a few people on Zhu Mazi's side tremble.

The places on his body that had been beaten by Lu Tao all felt some pain.

Zhu Mazi also had some drumming in his heart at the beginning, but thinking that he had a few foreign aid today, he felt a lot more confident in his heart.

"Lu Tao, you owe me money, today is the last day, what's the matter, so unconscious, you still want me to come to your house to get it?" Zhu Mazi's face trembled, and he said gloomily.

"Oh......" Lu Tao showed a sudden look: "Yes, I owe you 1,000, right?" ”

Saying that, Lu Tao took out a wad of money from his pocket, counted out ten hundred-yuan bills, put the rest of the money into his pocket, and handed the ten bills to Zhu Mazi.

The moment Lu Tao took out a wad of money, the eyes of Zhu Mazi and the others were a little straight.

Amazing, Lu Tao is really rich now, the pile of money just now is enough for two or three thousand, right?

Especially Zhu Mazi, how much he hopes that the current Lu Tao is still the same Lu Tao who will go to his place to gamble, so these thousands of yuan are not cheated out by himself in minutes.

But now is not the time to sigh, he didn't go to pick up the one thousand that Lu Tao brought over: "What do you mean?" See for yourself what was written on the IOU at that time? ”

While repaying the money, he didn't accept it too little, and things suddenly became tense.
