Reborn 1980, Mountains Have Spirits, I Have Fields

Chapter 9 Yew
The next day, Father Xiao called his younger brother who was doing nothing at home, and the two went up the mountain together to collect the net.

Xiao Yuefeng thought he could earn some extra money, so he was extra diligent.

But the two never imagined that the harvest this time would be so rich, yes, rich.

Almost every pit is packed with prey.

The rabbit and the pheasant in the small pit were fighting, and the black deer and the deer in the big pit were confronting each other, everyone was alive and well, Xiao Yuefeng was dumbfounded: "Brother, what kind of bait did you use?"

Yue Shan was also surprised: "Luck luck."

He went down three pits and collected six hares and four pheasants.The black deer has two heads of a deer.Because the village chief had repeatedly reminded him that the black muntjac is now a national protected animal and cannot be caught, so Father Xiao released him.Even so, the two of them took a lot of effort to carry the prey down the mountain, and sent it to the village committee, which attracted much attention along the way.

The village head, Hong Changgui, came out after hearing the news. When he saw the prey all over the ground slapping his thigh, he was so happy from ear to ear: "Good job, Xiao Yueshan. The sword is not old!"

Xiao Yueshan wanted to roll his eyes: I am not old in the first place.He said angrily, "Hongcun, leave me two rabbits and one chicken."

Village head Hong hurriedly had someone weigh him to calculate the price, and at the same time ordered: "Yang Yazi, find some cages and raise them so that you don't kill them. Fresh ones are delicious." Then he patted Xiao Yueshan on the shoulder, "If we can handle the foreign guests this time, Our village is already developed. I will make great contributions to you."

Xiao Yueshan couldn't help asking: "What do the Japanese want to invest in us?"

Village Chief Hong smiled and said, "I want to build a pharmaceutical factory."

Xiao Yueshan was surprised: "Pharmaceutical factory? Built on our side?"

"Of course it was built in our NP city." Village Chief Hong smiled, "Foreign guests have heard that there are flavored ingredients in this medicine, which are only found in our province. So now every city is trying its best to keep people."

Xiao Yueshan asked curiously: "What raw material?"

"Yew." The village chief's eyes were mixed with confusion and longing, "I don't know what it looks like. Anyway, let's entertain the foreign guests well."

Director Yang of the village committee has already weighed the animals.

"Brother Xiao. Four rabbits weigh thirty catties, two roe deer fifty catties. Three pheasants, let me count sixteen catties for you."

Xiao Yueshan nodded: "OK."

Officer Yang took out his calculator and calculated the total price: "I calculated according to the purchase price in the village. Rabbits are one yuan per catty, deer five yuan per catty, and pheasants are one yuan per catty, which is a total of 104 yuan."

Xiao Yueshan took the money and turned to the village chief: "I want to add a bicycle to my family. Village chief, do we still have the ticket?"

The village chief was surprised: "You want to buy a bicycle? Bicycle tickets are in short supply. I don't have any extra on hand."

Xiao Yueshan smiled and said: "It's okay, you can keep an eye on it for me, if there is any, take care of me first, okay?"

The village chief waved his hands and smiled: "Okay, but you have to do me two favors."

Xiao Yueshan was not polite: "You just give orders."

The village chief smiled and said, "Isn't your daughter-in-law a good cook? Let her come to the village committee kitchen to help on Saturday, okay? I'll pay for it."

Xiao Yueshan laughed: "You are not afraid that my wife's dishes will scare away the foreign guests."

The village head glared at him: "Yes or not?"

Father Xiao responded loudly: "That's great!"

The village head said: "Also, you should also leave some time that day. The foreign guests will go up the mountain for a stroll. You are the most familiar with the mountain roads, so you will be the guide."

Xiao Yueshan agreed with all his mouth: "It's a trivial matter."

Only then did the village head walk back to the house with a smile on his face.

Xiao Yuefeng stared at the colorful bills in his brother's hand, and asked enviously: "Brother, can your family buy bicycles?"

That's a lot of money.

Father Xiao handed him a rabbit, and gave him ten yuan for hard work: "If you work hard, you can also buy a bicycle."

Xiao Yuefeng chuckled, took the money and said, "I'm not as capable as you."

Father Xiao frowned. His younger brother was spoiled by his parents since he was a child, and he was lazy.Even after the separation, his parents insisted on taking care of and subsidizing him in the name of living with him.

"The rabbit is cooked for two meals. Save money. Your family Lingju is not young. You must save some dowry for your daughter."

Xiao Yuefeng couldn't stand his elder brother's nagging, so he slipped quickly with oil on the soles of his feet.He said in his mouth: The girl still needs a dowry!
Father Xiao shook his head recklessly, and returned home with a small amount of money and a rabbit and a chicken.

Luo Guixiang smiled from ear to ear, took the chicken and the rabbit and asked, "Why are there still left?"

Father Xiao was also happy: "Good luck. I have money for this trip, and I have a bicycle ticket."

Luo Guixiang couldn't help but rejoice: "It's still you who can do it! If the mountains can be released for us to hunt, we can also build two small buildings for our son."

Father Xiao said: "I gave Yuefeng a rabbit, you can just send some chicken to Mom and Dad."

Luo Guixiang nodded again and again: "I'll boil the water and kill the chicken."

Father Xiao didn't let women do dirty work, and sat in the yard by himself to kill chickens and remove their feathers. The blood dripped from the chickens could be used as a dish.

Lingmei smelled a strong fragrance outside the house, and her saliva immediately secreted profusely.The food at home is really good recently.

Dinner is a large bowl of tender fried pheasant chicken, a portion of fried chicken offal with leeks, a bowl of chicken blood mushroom soup, and green pea shoots picked from the vegetable field at home.

Ling Yun's little stomach was full, and he patted his belly and sighed: "It would be great if I could eat like this every day."

Luo Guixiang said angrily, "How can I go hunting in the mountains every day?"

Ling Mei looked at Father Xiao and asked, "This time the harvest is particularly good?"

Father Xiao: "Yes. Sure enough, closing the mountain is still effective. After only a few years of no hunting, there are many more animals on the mountain."

What Lingmei thought was that the spirit spring water had a good effect, and it was finally useful.

"That's right. Guixiang, you go to the village committee early this Saturday morning. The village chief invites you to help cook and entertain foreign guests. And let me be a guide."

Luo Guixiang was even happier, her whole face bursting with laughter: "The village chief praised me."

Ling Mei tasted the smooth and delicious chicken nuggets in her mouth, and felt that her cheap mother's cooking skills were definitely top-notch in this village.

"Lingmei, you go with me."

Ling Mei was taken aback: I'm going too?
Luo Guixiang brought a piece of chicken wing to her: "You are quick, help me." Lingmei is beautiful and smart, and she can look good when she takes it out.

It's not difficult for Lingmei, it's something she was used to in her previous life.So he nodded.

Luo Guixiang said again: "I don't know what these foreign guests are thinking, the mountains here are not easy to climb."

Father Xiao remembered the words of the village chief: "They said they wanted to build a pharmaceutical company. They also wanted to plant a tree called a yew."

Lingmei paused with her chopsticks: "Yew?"

Jin Yuanbao in the space immediately pricked up his ears.

"That's right." Father Xiao frowned, "I know all the trees on this mountain, but I've never heard of a yew."

Lingmei's mind was extremely clear, and she was extra vigilant.

How could she not know the famous yew?Yew is an extremely precious medicinal material, and its bark can extract the all-natural anticancer agent paclitaxel.

In the eighties and 90s of the previous life, when the Chinese people didn't know the mystery of the yew tree, the foreign country almost destroyed the domestic yew tree at a very low price.When I realized it afterwards, it had already caused huge and irreparable losses.

Yew tree——Lingmei's expression slowly became dignified.

Father Xiao saw that his daughter looked wrong, and asked, "Why do you think you have such an ugly face?"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Ling Mei's face.
