After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Chapter 510 Popularizing Dried Fruits

Without that extravagant hope in his heart, Xu Bo'an became much calmer.

Thinking that he had taken the precious monkey wine from the monkeys, Xu Boan felt very pleased and thought he could reward the monkeys.

Although he did give the little monkeys first aid just now, and their action was a way of repaying their kindness, Xu Boan felt that it was just a small favor.

Since we have the chance to meet, why not give them a little surprise?

It’s not that Xu Boan is a pushover, but because once people are too high-handed, they are sometimes interested in things that can interfere with the fate of others.

Maybe it’s a different kind of pursuit.

Although you may spend some money or other things that you have, you can still gain a kind of spiritual satisfaction.

This is just like what people say, "If you don't return home when you are rich and powerful, it is like walking in fine clothes at night."

A more fashionable metaphor is probably that some people are willing to be the top-ranked big brothers on the Internet, and listen to the cute girls and fans calling them brother and godfather.

They spent a lot, but what did they get?

No!

But is there really no such thing? This is another case of one’s own happiness and suffering being known only to oneself, and one’s own family knowing only one’s own business.

Xu Boan was thinking about what to get for these monkeys when he suddenly remembered that when he entered the box just now, there was a small food plate on the food preparation cabinet on the side of the box door.

There are some snacks on the plate, which are usually served to customers who come to the private room to kill time and moisten their mouths while waiting for their meals. In ordinary restaurants, they are some melon seeds and mint candies.

The snacks at the Dynasty Hotel are a bit higher-end. In addition to the common melon seeds and peanuts, there are also some dried fruits, apricot preserves, and frosted crystal persimmons.

Xu Boan picked up two of them and prepared to put them into the bonsai to give to the monkeys to eat.

Suddenly I thought that it would be even more inconvenient for these monkeys to tear open the plastic bag, so I helped to open the bag myself, and then took the Bonsai World to hand it to the monkeys.

At the same time, Xu Bo'an pretended to be dignified and said, "Here, these are some dried fruits. Take them and eat them!"

The monkeys were originally preparing to leave in a lively manner, but when they heard the voice of the Mountain God, they subconsciously turned around and looked back.

Then they saw a scene that shocked them.

A huge orange-red thing that exuded a sweet smell and an orange-translucent thing suddenly appeared before my eyes.

The size of that thing was almost as big as the three fattest monkeys in their group hugged together.

These monkeys had never seen anything like this before, but it clearly exuded the fruity aroma that they loved.

Although they are called dried fruits, Xu Boan did not make the flesh of the candied fruits smaller. Therefore, those apricot candied fruits that are only the size of a fingertip in the real world are as big as the incense table in front of the statue in the bonsai world. The persimmon cake is even bigger than the incense table.

These monkeys have never seen such big and delicious fruit.

Those monkeys loved to eat fruits and had a very sensitive sense of smell. They were stunned when they saw the rewards given by the mountain god!
What is this? How can it smell so tempting?
"Grandpa Mountain God...what did you just say...what is this?" The monkey leader swallowed hard and asked while scratching his ears.

Xu Boan knew that it was difficult for the monkeys to understand what dried fruit and preserved fruit were, so he simply explained: "This is a way of eating in the fairy world. The fruit is dried in the sun or heated and then dried, and then supplemented with honey or other sweet things to make it."

The monkeys naturally didn't understand this series of operating procedures. The monkey leader was still scratching his head and asked in confusion: "Dry? Dry on the rocks!"

Seeing that he had this idea, Xu Bo'an immediately said, "Yes, that's the right way to understand it. You can also try putting the leftover fruits on rocks to dry in the sun. Once the moisture is dried up, they can be preserved for a long time, especially in winter, when they can be stored as food for the winter!"

The monkey leader was overjoyed when he heard this, and he cheered and said, "Hmm! This is possible... If this is really possible, we won't have to look for dried fruits and leaves to eat in the winter!"

The monkey leader's words immediately attracted the exclamations of the other monkeys.

Immediately, a monkey echoed: "That's great, that's great, we finally don't have to eat leaves and shells in winter."

Animals generally have a hard time in winter unless there are unexpected events.

Except for a few animals that hibernate by nature and do not need to come out to find food, the rest of the animals have to brave the severe cold or even ice and snow and look for food very hard if they want to survive.

From this perspective, hibernation is actually quite good!

But let's get back to the topic and talk about monkeys. They do not have the habit of hibernation, and monkeys are social animals, so they often need more food in winter.

In previous years, the monkeys would look for some fruits left on tree trunks that had not been picked in season and some fruits that had dried naturally in the winter to eat, but these were a minority after all, and it was time for them to improve their diet.

Most of the time, the monkeys can only choose to pick some green leaves or tree barks and roots to fill their stomachs. Although these foods are not delicious for the monkeys, they can keep them alive and survive the winter.

Sometimes in the summer, when they are luckier, they will consciously store some nuts or even fruit cores and hide them for consumption. Some smart monkeys will even use stones to smash the hard shells of these dried fruits. These dried fruits and fruit cores are rich in fat and protein, which can provide the monkeys with the necessary energy and nutrition.

However, monkeys do not have their own safe houses. They usually hide things in tree holes or rock crevices. When food supply is insufficient, they will go to these storage points to find food.

But as we all know, monkeys often forget their storage points, and some hidden food may even be discovered by other animals, who then take it away or eat it, causing the monkeys to lose some food.

When there is really no other way, the monkeys will choose to hunt as a last resort. Their prey is usually small animals such as birds and mice. It is like a vegetarian eating meat. So, the monkeys are also forced to do this!

Of course, these poor monkeys are wild monkeys in the mountains. If they were artificially bred monkeys, they would not have such a miserable life.

When Xu Boan was working on the project, there were two heartwarming summer team-building activities co-organized with the zoo.

The so-called heartwarming activities are a good way to win people's hearts.

Project work is generally not so busy in the middle of each year, and July and August are when schools are out, so many workers’ spouses bring their children to the project site to visit them.

Most of the construction projects are located in remote mountains and forests or in remote suburbs. It is impossible to let the family stay here all the time!
At this time, it is inevitable to go out and take the family to play around. Therefore, those thoughtful project leaders on the engineering project will take advantage of this season to carry out some heartwarming projects and create an environment that will keep people.

When Xu Bo'an was a project manager, he was very enthusiastic about this kind of activity, which is also one of the reasons why he is so popular.

Xu Bo'an remembered that when he was doing team-building at the zoo, he had heard the zoo staff talk a lot about monkeys. After all, almost every zoo has a monkey mountain project, and they are all in a very central and conspicuous location, which is deeply loved by people.

Xu Bo'an remembers that the zoo staff said that they would build a warm house for them in the winter and provide common food such as corn, fresh fruits and sweet potatoes.

On days like this, let alone monkeys, even in ancient times, landlords and wealthy people would not dare to hope to eat fresh fruits in winter!
When it comes to eating, monkeys in the zoo may save some trouble and effort, but do they really live better than monkeys in the wild?

Maybe not.

What they lose is basically the freedom that they will never be able to regain in their lifetime.

Therefore, it is often difficult to comment on what is good and what is bad.

Xu Bo'an looked at this group of happy monkeys and silently withdrew his gaze from the bonsai world.

……

After finishing his work with the bonsai, Xu Bo'an took a tissue and wiped his hands while walking out of the box.

The waiter who was waiting not far from the door hurried over and raised his hand to take the garbage from Xu Boan's hand, which were the two packaging bags of preserved fruits and the napkins that had just been used.

Wow, what an amazing service attitude!
Xu Bo'an tried his best to pretend that it was natural and handed the things over, saying softly: "Sorry, I was greedy just now, so I took two preserved fruits to taste. I'll have to trouble you to add more later."

The snacks prepared in the box are usually arranged on plates, and usually have a neat feel. When Xu Boan took them, it was impossible for him to be careful and put them down gently, so it was inevitable that he would disrupt the pattern on the plate. That's why Xu Boan kindly reminded him.

The waiter had a professional smile on his face and said enthusiastically: "It's okay, sir, just eat whatever you want. These are all local specialties of Dongjiang. We should thank you for helping our local agricultural product business!"

Wow, look at this way of saying it, this little phrase, it makes people feel comfortable just listening to it.

No wonder the Dynasty Hotel in Linshan is doing so well. With such a service attitude, even if the fees are a little higher, it is acceptable.

Xu Bo'an nodded politely and was about to say another polite word before going back to the box to continue accompanying his two brothers Su Tai and Lin Shan.

Just as I was about to speak, I heard a voice with a yin and yang tone coming from behind me.

"Hey, why does he look so familiar? Who did I think he was? It turns out to be Chief Engineer Xu from our Second Company! Hello, Chief Engineer Xu! Hello, Chief Engineer Xu!"

Xu Bo'an raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, turned around and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a man in his fifties with his clothes open, stroking his big belly and looking at him teasingly.

Xu Bo'an also felt that the other person looked familiar. After a brief thought, he remembered that this person was Liu Huawen, the deputy general manager of Dongjiang First Construction.

Dongjiang No. 1 Construction Company and Dongjiang No. 2 Construction Company are both famous construction companies, and both belong to the same Construction Engineering Group. Their business volume and scale are similar, so the two units have always been in a state of unwillingness to accept each other.

Of course, on the surface, they are still a brother unit where everyone is friendly to each other, especially since leaders often exchange positions with each other, which leads to more xenophobia, so it is normal for there to be some sarcasm between them.

Therefore, Xu Boan did not take it to heart at all, especially when he saw Liu Huawen was drunk. Xu Boan was too lazy to argue with him, not to mention that they were not familiar with each other.

Xu Bo'an nodded slightly as a greeting, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, before I took two steps out, I heard even more outrageous remarks coming from behind.

"Humph, you are so arrogant, why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? You are almost being ripped off, but you are still trying to put on airs. You really think you are the prince of the Construction Group!"

That’s right, these are still the words said by Liu Huawen.

Xu Bo'an was a little angry now. He turned around angrily and said, "What are you talking about? Since you are drunk, I don't want to bother with you. I advise you to watch your mouth and avoid speaking out of turn!"

At this moment, Liu Huawen had no idea of ​​Xu Boan's good intentions. He just felt that Xu Boan was threatening him.

It is said that alcohol gives cowards courage, and Liu Huawen is not a coward at all.

Hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Liu Huawen said even more fiercely: "Bah! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see who you are? You want to teach me how to do things? Who do you think you are! Do you think you are still the one who can cover the sky with one hand in Dongjiang Erjian? Do you think you are still a rat with a big backer protecting you?"

While speaking, Liu Huawen pointed at Xu Bo'an, showing a very disrespectful attitude.

Xu Bo'an snorted coldly and said, "I hate it most when people point at me. Since you can't control your own fingers, I'll help you control them!"

As he spoke, Xu Bo'an quickly took two steps forward and stood in front of Liu Huawen. Then he quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Huawen's raised finger, and pulled it back with force!

Liu Huawen only felt a gust of wind passing in front of his eyes, and then it became slightly dark in front of him, as if some of the light was blocked.

Before Liu Huawen could react, he immediately felt a pain in his fingers, a piercing pain.

Liu Huawen suddenly became anxious and shouted angrily: "How dare you do that? How dare you! Bastard, do you know who I'm having dinner with? I'll scare you to death when he comes out!"

Liu Huawen was naturally having a delicious meal with his old friend, the team leader of the Human Resources Group of the Human Resources Department of the Construction Group.

In his opinion, Xu Bo'an was about to leave, and the relevant formalities would have to be handled by his old friend. If he was delayed a few times, he would have to make several trips in a hurry.

In other words, Xu Boan currently had no presence at all in his eyes. As long as he wanted, he would have plenty of opportunities to disgust Xu Boan.

So he didn't expect Xu Boan to dare to offend him like this.

Xu Bo'an curled his lips and smiled coldly, saying: "Who do I care who you eat with? I'm not your father, why should I care about your little business!" (End of this chapter)
