The Northern Stories of Chef Lao Tan

Chapter 280

After Lao Tan finished his suggestion, he said to Wan Jun with deep emotion: "We don't have such a good place in Beipiao. If there is, I can say nothing about investing."

This is also a kind of gratitude complex for the hometown of migrant workers away from home.

Wan Jun said: "Yes—Mr. Tan can invest in our Beautiful Valley and is willing to cooperate with you."

Lao Tan smiled and said, "I can't make the decision. Ah Qiao is a catering company. To put it bluntly, it's just a small dumpling restaurant for a small business."

"President Tan is modest."

Seeing what Old Tan said, Wan Jun stopped chattering, and it was already noon, so he greeted him and went back to the village for dinner.

Before Lao Tan and Wang Shulan came, the village chief Qi Guosheng had planned to ask him to eat at his house, but Wan Jun refused, saying that the village was serving them.So Qi Guosheng and secretary Wang Dali both called their wives and prepared a table of sumptuous farm meals in the village.

The meal was very good and felt like coming home.

During the dinner, Lao Tan drank some wine and got along well with Wan Jun, so the good man went to the end and introduced Mr. Xiang to Wan Jun, saying that he could ask Mr. Xiang to produce a rendering of the farmhouse design, and make the overall budget complete. come out.

After dinner, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Tan and Wang Shulan bid farewell and returned to Chifeng.

Wang Shulan stopped the car when passing the prince's mansion, and led Lao Tan in for a visit.When the two of them went in, the sky was still sunny and sunny, but it was cloudy when they came out.

Looking up, a group of dark clouds surged up from the back of the mountain in the west. The clouds were very high, tumbling, dark and frightening.

Soon the wind picked up, and the wind whipped up the leaves on the ground and flew around, and at the same time, there was a faint muffled thunder from the sky.

The wind is ahead of the rain, and a heavy rainstorm is coming.

The two quickly walked to the front of the car, and after getting in the car, Wang Shulan started the car and drove away.

The car drove fast, and the rain came quickly.When they drove to the poplar forest between the Wangfu and the tomato industry base, white raindrops the size of copper coins began to fall accompanied by rumbling thunder.

The light began to darken under the cover of the trees on both sides. Wang Shulan turned on the headlights, and the sparse heavy raindrops gradually thickened under the light.

After the thunder exploded with a "click", the downpour began to fall.Crazy rain knocked out the wipers and blurred vision despite headlights.

In just ten minutes, there was already water on the road.

Fortunately, there was only one car on this road at this time, otherwise there would be no possibility of a car accident when the line of sight was blocked.

"Sister, let's get out of the woods. This is a protective forest for the river, and it's easy to get flooded." Lao Tan, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said nervously, and the alcohol in his body was gone.

Wang Shulan held the steering wheel tightly, staring at the road ahead without blinking, and the car drove slowly.

"Well, I dare not drive too fast because I can't see the road clearly," she said.

"The trees on both sides are dark, and the light in the middle is the Tao." Old Tan said.

Reminding Wang Shulan all of a sudden, she put her heart down a little bit and stared at the bright water in front of her.

The sky was overcast and the rain was getting heavier.

A bright flash of lightning flashed, illuminating the dark trees on both sides.

"Crack-"

Another thunder blast!
Wang Shulan's hand holding the steering wheel trembled, and subconsciously stepped on the brakes.

"Don't step on the brakes, it's easy to go sideways, drive forward slowly, and get out soon." Old Tan reminded.

But it was too late, the car jerked to a halt and veered a little to the left.

Wang Shulan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly stepped on the gas pedal. Because of her nervousness, the car jumped forward again.

"I can't do it anymore. I can't drive it. It's too scary." Wang Shulan's voice changed a little.

"Hold on, it's okay, let's go out immediately, there is a high ground ahead." Lao Tan encouraged her.

The car drives forward in the rainstorm.If the two of them got out of the car at this time, they would break out in a cold sweat. The water from the upper river in the woods had already flowed through the gutters on both sides of the road and rose to the road surface, with dead branches and rotten leaves floating on it.

It was a sudden heavy rainstorm.

Fortunately, three minutes later, the car drove out of the woods and came to the high ground.

Wang Shulan didn't dare to drive any further, and parked the car in the middle of the road, panting with lingering fear, her hands firmly on the steering wheel.

Two hundred meters ahead is the mountain, the mountain and the water have come down, rolling down along the gully river with mud, instantly filling the drainage ditch on one side of the road, and then overflowing the road, filling the drainage ditch on the other side Then rushed down quickly.

The sky and the earth were dark, and the rain covered the sky and the sun.

The once king of the road - the white Land Rover, now looks like a frightened road dog, obediently lying motionless on the lonely high ground.

If you go forward, you may encounter the danger of mountain torrents; if you go backward, the river will be flooded.

At this time, don't say who is strong, or martial arts are unrivaled, human beings are insignificant in the storm of nature, and the power of heaven and earth can obliterate them at any time.

A dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, and then——

"Crack-"

A deafening thunder blast resounded all over the field——

Women are naturally timid, and Wang Shulan screamed "Ah—" in fright, her face turned pale, she grabbed Lao Tan's arm in horror, and leaned her body hard.

Old Tan put his arms around her shoulders and said comfortingly, "It's okay, sister, this thunderstorm won't last long, it will pass in a while."

"This thunder is too scary—" Wang Shulan said in horror.

"Explode thunder."

Lao Tan recalled his mother’s explanation of the thunderstorm when it rained heavily when he was a child. Although it was superstitious, his memory was still fresh, so he said to Wang Shulan, “My mother said that thunderstorms are not clean.”

"Unclean things? What?"

Seeing that Wang Shulan asked curiously like she did when she was a child, and then forgot the fear in front of her, Old Tan smiled and said, "A fine bobcat beast."

"Lynx beast?" Wang Shulan was a little puzzled.

"Have you read fantasy novels? Some foxes, snakes, and wolves have cultivated into shapes, that is, they have become spirits, and the gods will start to strike with lightning, commonly known as crossing the catastrophe."

"You, just fool people from there."

Wang Shulan smiled, she lost the fear just now, she let go of Lao Tan's hand and sat back down.

"But it's true that lightning strikes people, especially this kind of thunder." Old Tan said.

"I've heard of it, but I haven't seen it before." Wang Shulan was a little scared again, and glanced at Lao Tan.

"Actually, it's not lightning that strikes people. It's lightning that falls to the ground. The powerful current it brings kills people instantly. When it rains and thunders, don't take shelter under a tree or stay in an open field. It's easy to be struck by lightning." Hit." Old Tan said.

"Then are we in danger?" Wang Shulan asked worriedly looking at the heavy rain outside.

"We're fine. We're in the car. Besides, there's no thunder. The rain has started to go southeast," Old Tan said.

"I can't watch the clouds move."

"There are quite a few clouds in the northwest going southeast. Thunderstorms don't last long, maybe an hour at most. Didn't you see something smaller?"

The rain was indeed a little lighter, and I could see the scene outside clearly.

"After three hours of thunderstorm, you can hear it even if it doesn't come down." Old Tan said to himself.

"Do you have to go down tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" Wang Shulan asked.

Old Tan hummed.

"You said that our fate, going to Dongsu to catch up with Baimaofeng, and going to Beautiful Valley to catch up with the heavy rain, isn't it a bit evil?" Wang Shulan asked with some fate.

"Let's not go out together in the future." Old Tan joked.
