Rebirth in 1998 is also a kind of life

Contrary to the cognition of many young people in later generations, "Xiang" is actually a very large administrative region.

Shanshu Township is a new town established after the reform of the district and township system in Zhenxiong County in 1988. It covers an area of ​​more than 150 square kilometers, and there are more than 120 small villages (villager groups) underneath.

However, corresponding to more than 120 villages, the whole township has a population of just over 2. After excluding the population on the township streets, a village often has only a hundred or so villagers.

This kind of population density stunned Lin Keran, who was from Qilu and was used to thousands or even thousands of people in a single village;

In addition, this area is full of mountains and mountains, and there are only some narrow dirt roads for passage. The traffic level is as difficult as that of the adjacent mountainous area of ​​Guizhou; Ten kilometers, but without enough modern transportation, it often takes half a day to go to the township street.

This kind of geographical traffic situation; this kind of labor density; coupled with this kind of infrastructure situation that almost stagnated 40 to [-] years ago, and even industrial electricity cannot be guaranteed, you actually plan to build a factory here?

In the township government office, Lin Keran and the others listened to the township head's unproficient Mandarin and introduced the basic situation of Xiashanshu Township. cast.

………………

More than an hour later, Lin Keran said some hazy words, rejected the township head's warm dinner invitation, and walked out of the office with a somewhat disappointed expression on his face.

"Tsk tsk, this place is so wild, you actually hinted that as long as we invest here, we can use the official seal of the village!?" After getting into the car, Qin Xin had a look of disbelief.

"Hehe, although the quality of the medicinal materials here is very good, gastrodia elata, chrysanthemum, and half rotten are just fine, but the wild yew actually hints that we can also touch it? He is not afraid, but I am!"

"Besides, how much money can be created simply by building a trading point here and buying some wild medicinal materials? We came all the way here just to be small traders?" Lu Sisi complained.

Lin Keran shook his head: "You didn't hear the main point just now. When the village head mentioned that there are zinc mines, coal mines and copper mines here, his tone was a bit serious, and the eyes that he would look at me were also It’s very different; I guess what he wants us to invest in the most is the mine!”

Lu Sisi rolled her eyes: "Please, regardless of what we said very clearly, Zhutou International Trade and Hope Group are mainly engaged in agricultural products, and have nothing to do with the mining industry at all; even if we are really tempted, it's just here Road conditions, how to transport out after mining!?"

Lin Keran smiled: "So the mayor has a good plan. Didn't he hint that the official seal can be used by us?"

"To put it bluntly, it implies to us that he can completely ignore the operation of these mines, and we can take as much profit as we want...but we have to carry all the road construction and recruitment!"

Lu Sisi curled her lips. Of course, she knew that there were still many twists and turns in this matter. The mayor must have asked for more than these two requirements, but anyway, Zhang Mengping was on the side, and there were some things that were hard to say, and he had to take care of others. face.

And Zhang Mengping, who was inconvenient to sit in the back row because of his female relatives, was also a little dazed. These people didn't seem to regard themselves as outsiders... Are the business executives at Qilu's side so indifferent now?

Yang Zhu, acting as the driver, fastened his seat belt, laughed, and patted Zhang Mengping on the shoulder: "Carrot, where and what to eat tonight, you decide!"

Hearing this, Zhang Mengping quietly touched the only 70 yuan left in his pocket, a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Yang Zhu hooked his neck and whispered a few words,

Zhang Mengping breathed a sigh of relief, and after sweeping the three people in the back row quietly, he whispered, "Then let's go further away?"

Yang Zhu chuckled: "You are the guide, you have the final say!"

Zhang Mengping thought for a while: "Why don't we go to Xishahe Village, where the Miao villagers make good home-brewed wine! But the road is a bit far, so why do we have to drive for more than half an hour?"

Yang Zhu heard the words, and immediately started the car: "Success, you have the final say, show the way!"

Qin Xin behind heard the words, his face was a bit bitter, it is now 05:30 in the afternoon, and he was very hungry after not eating anything all day, but you told me that he would have to wait for more than half an hour before eating?

Damn, this is planning to kill someone!

Hey... Forget it, since the boss has spoken, let's stand up!

Just as the three people in the back seat closed their eyes to resist the hunger in their stomachs and prayed to reach their destination quickly, the car suddenly stopped.

Watching Zhang Mengping open the car door, rushing to the middle-aged man whom he had met before, taking out all the money in his pocket and quietly handing it over, while still consoling something, Lin Keran looked at him in surprise. Looking at the driver in the front seat, he said, "Yang Zhu, your friend...is a little silly!"

Yang Zhu smiled and didn't answer, but he looked at his brother with appreciation.

This world always needs some fools to illuminate it.

Seeing the expression on Yang Zhu's face, Qin Xin glanced at the thin banknotes that were exposed outside the window, and immediately said, "I still have 2000 yuan in cash with me, why don't I go down and spread it out?"

Lu Sisi also enthusiastically signed up: "I have some here, if not enough!"

Yang Zhu glared at them angrily: "Don't meddle, don't make trouble for me!"

How can the value and weight of the last few dozen dollars on my brother be compared with your money?

………………

After getting in the car, although Zhang Mengping was still like a tour guide, enthusiastically introducing the customs and special products of Shanshu Township to the three people in the back seat; but Yang Zhu could see that his mood was obviously depressed.

Half an hour later, the rickety car finally drove into a village on a hillside, and stopped at the entrance of a dilapidated small yard.

"Old cousin, we have distinguished guests tonight, hurry up and cook something delicious!" Zhang Mengping yelled as soon as he entered the small courtyard.

Hearing this, a haggard Miao man came out with an earthen bowl. When he saw Zhang Mengping, he greeted him warmly, looked at the four people behind him, and then acted awkwardly. The less proficient Chinese said: "Oh, didn't you tell me in advance, where can I have good things to entertain distinguished guests?"

Zhang Mengping laughed, pulled a few benches from the corner of the yard, and motioned Yang Zhu and others to sit down: "Old cousin, you still have two chickens, grab them and eat them!"

"And the Tianma wine you brewed some time ago, take it out and drink it together!"

The Miao man looked troubled: "Dr. Zhang, those two chickens are old hens for laying eggs. I'm afraid it's not suitable to kill them?"

Zhang Mengping's face turned pale, and he urged: "What's inappropriate, hurry up, the guests are almost starving to death!"

Seeing this, the Miao man hesitated to speak, then looked at Lin Keran and others who were dressed in extraordinary clothes, and finally went reluctantly.

Lin Keran looked coldly at Zhang Mengping's demeanor of a bully. His eyes swept across the dirty and dilapidated courtyard, and finally fell on the bowl that the Miao man put on the table, covered with only a few slices of potatoes. The appreciation of Zhang Mengping before was gone, and there was only an unknown fire burning in his heart.

Sneeringly, he glanced at Yang Zhu next to him, his eyes were clearly saying: "Here, don't talk about eating and drinking for nothing, even the last two old hens laying eggs in the fellow's house, this is what you value." people?"

Yang Zhu, on the other hand, watched with relish the Miao man calling out his sixteen or seventeen-year-old daughter to catch chickens all over the yard, turning a blind eye to Lin Keran's eyes.

After waiting for another hour, the sky began to turn dark, and when Qin Xin and the others were frantic with hunger, the Miao men brought a large pot of chicken soup, a large pot of boiled yams, and a large plate of fried yams one after another. A small plate of bacon and a plate of roasted potatoes were served.

After the pretty Miao girl brought up a pot of rice wine, the Miao man said with a look of embarrassment and guilt: "There is nothing prepared at home, and there is nothing good to entertain. The bosses forgive me!"

Lin Keran saw the potato feast with clear soup and little water, and knew that if Zhang Mengping hadn't forced the chicken to be killed, the family's good thing in the ballast would be the small plate of bacon. Those potatoes are for food.

Thinking of this, Lin Keran glanced at Zhang Mengping even more coldly, but turned around and said kindly to the Miao man: "Thank you, my fellow, these things are already very abundant; The taste of potatoes is very different, I have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

Hearing this, the Miao man showed a proud smile on his face: "That's right, cadre Zhang also said that the potatoes in southern Yunnan are much more delicious than those in other provinces. As long as a few bosses like it, each of them will take a sack when they leave. If it’s not enough, tell me, and I’ll send it to you, there are plenty of potatoes at home!”

Qin Xin and Lu Sisi almost laughed out loud, one sack for each?

Well, let's go out for a stroll, and then we can set up a stall selling yams when we go back!

At this time, Zhang Mengping took a few bowls and poured out a wisp of milky white wine from the pot: "Come here, Mr. Qin, Director Lin, and Manager Lu, try this gastrodia rice wine! This is made from fresh wild gastrodia." , you can’t drink it outside!”

Lin Keran smiled perfunctorily: "Sorry, I don't drink!"

Tan Xin and Lu Sisi saw signs of her displeasure, and when they were thinking about how to resolve it, Yang Zhu at the side picked up the earthen bowl, sniffed the somewhat soft aroma of the wine with some nostalgia, and then sipped it lightly. ...

"Good wine!"

"My fellow, your wine is fine! It's much better than that Moutai Wuliangye!" Yang Zhu gave a thumbs up to the Miao man.

Hearing the words, the Miao man seemed to have received great praise, his face was full of joy, and then he seemed to forget that there were several other bosses on the table, filled himself with a glass of wine, and then touched Yang Zhu heavily: "My family Brewed, if you like it, you can drink a few more glasses, there are still several cans in the house!"

Yang Zhushun put his arms around the shoulders of the Miao man, and said with a smile: "That's for sure. When you leave such a good wine, you must sell me some! As long as you don't be reluctant when the time comes, fellow!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the Miao man to object, he threw a bowl: "It's delicious!"

With Yang Zhu taking the lead, although Qin Xin and Lu Sisi didn't know what the words meant, they followed suit: "It's good to eat!"

Seeing this, the Miao man habitually raised his bowl: "It's delicious!"

After finishing speaking, he took a big sip of wine, and his eyes began to brighten.

Regardless of the objections of the Miao man, Yang Zhu put the chicken head into his bowl, and then put the chicken wings into the bowl of the shy Miao girl, and then slowly peeled the roasted potatoes in his hand: "My fellow, I see You guys with beautiful mountains and clear waters, while the bosses are interested in investing, can you tell us, what good things do you have?"
