Xanadu space

() Sending away the desperate villagers, Ximei spread the walnuts on the bluestone slabs in the yard to dry.Yaqin was humming and making pizza in the kitchen.

Zhang Xiang sat under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and drank a cup of Yuqianmaojian. The tongue-like buds danced up and down in the glass.

Yaqin happily carried the prepared pizza on a white jade porcelain plate, put it on the table, and called Ximei to enjoy it together.

"Isn't this scallion pancake with some meat added? It's still so mysterious, next time I'll make scallion pancake for you guys to try!" Ximei said with a smile as she looked at the pizza in front of her.

"Cough cough..." Zhang Xiang couldn't help coughing. To be honest, this pizza is really similar to scallion pancakes, but the taste is different.

The fragrance of nai oil overflows from the soft dough, and the first bite is good, fragrant and sweet.

With the coffee brought by Yaqin, Zhang Xiang returned to the noisy and bustling provincial capital in a trance. At that time, his biggest wish was to grow old quietly with his beloved woman.

"It's so bitter, I can't get used to it!" Ximei frowned and took a sip of the coffee.

"Bitter and sweet, endless aftertaste!"

Zhang Xiang used to drink coffee when he stayed up late, so he was familiar with the taste. He took a sip of the coffee, looked up, and saw Yaqin looking at him and smiling.

Ximei ate two mouthfuls indiscriminately, feeling that both of them were unpalatable, she relished watching Zhang want to eat, and felt uncomfortable for no reason.

"You guys eat, I'll help the family harvest walnuts!" Ximei lowered her head, buzzed, and left.

Zhang wanted to eat a few mouthfuls and felt very full. He thought that he hadn't been to the lake for the past two days, and he should also visit the rapeseed and peas, so he just went for a walk when he was full.

On the narrow street of Zhangjiadian, in the open space not far from Baoshan House, walnut sellers in twos and threes were gathering together and arguing.

"Today's business can't be done, and they are not open!"

"Not only today, I think since yesterday afternoon, after those walnut sellers were called away, this business can no longer be done!"

"Shhh, tell me, has this walnut been discovered by others?"

"Why did I vaguely hear those villagers say that college students want to collect walnuts at a high price?"

"High price? What I'm afraid of is that the walnut matter can no longer be covered!"

"Keep your voice down, you will die! You didn't see those villagers, seeing us now is like digging his ancestral grave, something must have happened!"

The location of Zhangjiadian is too remote, the transportation is inconvenient, and the information is even more outdated. The secret of this walnut has been suppressed by several dealers. Over the years, these dealers have been very rich.

As long as they go to Zhangjiadian to collect a season of walnuts every year, they can earn a year's income, so a few years ago, they formed their own forces, and outsiders could not interfere.

Among these people, Jiang Wanlin, a burly man with a dark red face, has always been the leader of them.

Hearing the chatter of these businessmen under his command, no one had any idea. As for Zhang Xiang in the mouth of the villagers, he knew him.

"Yes, Xiao Wu, it seems that there is no stock today. You know Zhang Xiang, go find his whereabouts, don't startle the snake."

Xiao Wu is not very old, his hands and feet are quick and alert, the key is to have a new face, and those villagers are not very familiar with him yet.

"Old Xu, you are very popular. Go and get close to those villagers. Ask around. No one sells walnuts. How did you go back?" , always charge a few hundred catties more than others.

It has to be said that Jiang Wanlin has a flexible mind, and he is very clear about the characteristics of the people under his command, so everyone admires him.Xiao Wu and Lao Xu followed his orders and went to work, while the others stayed in the open space and waited for business.

It's strange to them, today is a busy day, but there are no two people on the street.There are people who stare at them a few times from a distance. If those eyes can kill people, these traffickers probably have died hundreds of times.

Jiang Wanlin's eyes are very poisonous. He saw that the palms of those villagers were all black, which means that there are a lot of walnuts this year.Because there is mucus on the green shell of the walnut, it will turn black when it touches your hands, and this color can't be washed off within a month or two.

"It seems that there is really a big problem. If it is not resolved, this source of income may be cut off!" Jiang Wanlin secretly speculated.

For the whole morning, no villager came to sell walnuts. They didn't charge a thousand catties at this time of the year.

It wasn't until noon that Lao Xu rushed over anxiously, the sky was already cold.But the bean-sized beads of sweat on his head rolled down.

"Boss, this is really bad. Zhang Xiang really saw through the walnut medicine. He was afraid that the villagers would not believe him, so he collected hundreds of catties of walnuts at 15 yuan per catty this morning!"

Old Xu spent a lot of effort, sprinkled a few packs of good cigarettes, and performed another scene, only then did he figure things out.

"What can we do? How about we increase the price, 15 yuan a catty, and some will make money!" A walnut dealer suggested.

"Idiot, you are only 16 yuan a catty, see if anyone sells it to you?" Jiang Wanlin scolded that person. The key to this matter is Zhang Xiang. If it weren't for this person, the villagers in Zhangjiadian would be very easy to fool.

But for Zhang Xiang, he had only met once and was not familiar with him at all, so this matter was still a bit tricky.

"Lao Xu, Xiao Liu, you two should go find someone to inquire about this person. Zhang thinks that the more detailed the situation of this person, the sooner the better. Remember to leave no traces and let no one notice!"

Jiang Wanlin ordered the two men, and with a gesture, he called another walnut dealer and explained to him in a low voice.

This time, it didn't take long for Lao Xu and Xiao Liu to come back. In Zhangjiadian, Zhang Xiang became a celebrity without knowing it, and the villagers were happy to talk about Zhang Xiang with outsiders.

"The number one student in the college entrance examination in Xiaoxi County, who has seen the world in the provincial capital, sold two orchids for more than 100 million, contracted Xujia Lake, bought wild fish fry for stocking, and let the villagers set steamer nets in the lake? This person is really not to be underestimated. No wonder you can see through the mysteries of walnuts!"

After listening to the reports from his two subordinates, Jiang Wanlin fell into deep thought.

This idea made him look at him with admiration. He valued righteousness over money, and tried to impress him with money, but it might not work, because his value is no worse than his own.

"Soft ones won't work, why not have some hard ones!" Jiang Wanlin muttered to himself, he is not an ordinary person, he can mix black and white, he immediately had an idea about this.

The sun was already in the west, so Xiao Wu ran back quickly. Fortunately, there was no ghost on the street except them, so he didn't attract the attention of others.

"Boss, I managed to find out that he was by the lake of Xu's family. When I rushed over, he went to the forest farm by the lake. I followed him for a long time. He has been in the woods looking at the walnut trees, but he has never come out!"

Xiao Wu panted heavily, and drank the herbal tea in his arms, he was exhausted from today's work.

The one that wants to look gentle and gentle, looks like a scholar, and walks so fast, if it were any other person, I'm afraid it would have been lost.

"He's been in the woods and hasn't come out?" Jiang Wanlin's eyes flashed with joy. Could it be that God is helping him? It seems that his idea is absolutely feasible!

"You guys come here, this way..." Jiang Wanlin made a move, and explained so and so, and the remaining walnut dealers smiled knowingly.

"Don't give us a way out, let you know how powerful your grandpas are!" Jiang Wanlin grinned.

Zhang Xiang felt that today was very strange. There was always someone peeping at him at noon, which gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.

He didn't know that person well, so he probably wasn't a villager here.As for who?He didn't bother to talk about it, what could happen if he was blocked by soldiers and covered by water and soil!

Looking at the tall walnut trees full of fruits, Zhang Xiang felt that this might be pie in the sky!

In the past, walnuts were cheap, costing only a few yuan per catty. Picking them was not easy, and the work of climbing them was dangerous. Most people really didn’t care about the walnut trees on the mountain farm.

Zhang Baoshan saw that no one wanted the mountain field, so he insisted on contracting it to him, but he didn't think there were so many walnut trees in it, which made him take advantage of it out of thin air.

"A windfall!" Zhang Xiang smiled, he had to ask someone to pick it for his windfall!

Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Xiang followed the path of the mountain farm and was about to rush home when suddenly a strange scene appeared in front of him.

"Don't move, robbery!" Five or six tall and strong men, with their faces covered, holding wooden sticks and short knives, blocked his way.

Looking at the scene in front of Zhang Xiang, a line from a movie suddenly appeared in his mind.

"I hate robbing the most, without any technical content!"
