Big Islander 2

Chapter 663

"Grandpa, look!" Waking up early in the morning, Xiaohu, the village head's grandson, held a shiny object and showed it off in front of his grandfather.

This is a crystal clear crystal star, the material is the best among the crystal stars produced by Taohua Island.The village head couldn't help but stare with big eyes: "Where did you come from?"

Xiaohu was a little timid: "It's Xiaoxiao and the baby they gave—"

"You bastard, see if I don't cut you to death!" The village head was furious, and he couldn't help but pick up the broom bumps on the kang, and beat his precious grandson's buttocks.Although he didn't have much culture, he could see that this crystal star must be a very expensive thing.Accepting such an expensive gift, if word spread, it would be thought that his family entertained guests from afar just for the sake of something.

Big Brother, who was sleeping peacefully in the back room, was also awakened. He ran out wearing big pants and snatched the broom from the village chief's hand.

The village chief looked troubled: "We can't accept such precious things, big head, we will be satisfied if you can go back to our shitty mountain nest and have a look. If you scrape things from your body again , Let others gossip, how can we keep our heads up in the future. Don’t worry too much, big head, everyone’s life is much better now, and I will definitely not take advantage of you!"

Tang Jide said this with warmth in his heart, and he really felt the simplicity of the villagers.There are not so many twists and turns in their stomachs, it seems that they are right to come back this time.

So I hung the crystal star around Xiaohu's neck again: "This is a small gift from children to each other, it has nothing to do with adults. Look, my three children have also received gifts from Xiaohu—"

While talking, Tang Xiaoxiao and the others also came out from the inner room. They were all wearing Bragi, and they were still a little sleepy. However, there was a red rope hanging under their necks, and there was something dangling from the bottom. Carved from walnuts, it kind of looks like a little basket.

Then the village head patted his thigh cheerfully: "Okay, kids, put on your clothes quickly, don't be cold, and ask Xiaohu to lead you out for a snowball fight later!"

He turned his head and asked Tang Jide again: "Big head, what do you want for breakfast, ask your aunt to make it for you?"

"I'm going home, it's winter, of course I eat sticky bean buns!" Brother Datou gave the answer without thinking.

After breakfast, Tang Jide proposed to take a walk in the mountains. He wanted to wait for old man Tang to arrive before going back to the Tang family shack together.And guessing, if old man Tang came here through official channels, he would have to go through a lot of trouble, so he and Xiao Xiami went to the mountain to investigate.

In fact, Brother Datou really guessed right. Hearing that the old man of Peach Blossom Island was going back to his hometown, the news went straight to the sky, and then he attached great importance to it from top to bottom. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs took the lead and joined forces with multiple departments to form a group of dozens of people. The reception group, and the scale is still expanding, because when it comes to provinces, cities, counties and townships, many people at every level join in, and the momentum is not huge.

At first, old man Tang was quite happy. After all, there were five people hugging each other, which greatly satisfied his vanity.But gradually, it became clear that no matter what level of reception group it was, they all expressed the same purpose in the end either implicitly or directly: investment.

I knew that I was asking for money, and I didn’t even talk about my feelings—Old man Tang is so depressed, I would have known that I would not come back.According to his violent temper, he almost started scolding directly.Fortunately, the old man Xia who accompanied him had already estimated this, and politely declined all kinds of requests and intentions, saying that they were only returning to their hometown to visit relatives, and they never participated in the management of Taohua Island, so they pushed it clean.

Even so, people still won't give up.We all know that Peach Blossom Island is a big piece of fat, how can we let it go easily, so after the provincial hospitality is over, the city hospitality is over, and after the city is finished, the county is full of welcome parties and banquets. It will be extremely long.

In comparison, Brother Big Tou is smart enough to know that sneaking into the village and shooting guns is not an option. That's why he can take his children for a leisurely stroll in the mountains and forests, accompanied by the village head, Uncle Meng and the old forest guards.

"In this forest, when I was young, I was picking mushrooms in it, and I was almost crushed by a wild boar." The big head brother was very excited, and while walking, he told the children about his heroic deeds back then.Either being kicked out by a wild boar, or being almost flooded in the shower, not only the children giggled, but even the old faces of the village chief were blooming.

"However, there are very few wild animals in the forest now—" the forest ranger Lao Lin is quite emotional. He has been guarding the forest, and he can feel its changes most. In the blink of an eye, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

In fact, Brother Big Head has already seen that there are very few footprints left by wild animals on the snow.Especially with Yuri, the best hunter, by his side, nothing can escape his eyes.

The village head also took up the conversation: "Everyone says that they rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, and now they are about to guard the mountain to beg for food. You know, big head, that the mountain is full of delicacies, at least hazelnuts and wild fruits. I can’t eat it. As a result, these things have become good things now, and they are very expensive in the city, but it’s a pity that they are almost extinct now.”

Brother Big Head scratched the back of his head, and the words of the old village chief still gave him some inspiration. Relying on the mountains, he still had to find ways to make a fuss about the mountains and old forests.Even if he supports the folks with a large amount of money, there will always be times when it will be spent. It is better to teach people to fish than to give them a fish. It is better to think of a more sustainable development path.

Trekking in the snow is a happy thing for the children, but Mr. Pheasant can only fly, and the temperature is relatively low, so it is shivering in the cold, and he can't help complaining: "What is this?" Linzi, there is not even a bird, it is lifeless, much worse than Lao Maozi's side-"

For its statement, Yuri agreed very much.Even Brother Big Head, although it sounds harsh, he has to admit that what the pheasant said is the truth.Once the environment is damaged, it is difficult to restore it, because a complete ecosystem involves too much.

"Bah bah, there's not even a pine nut, it's all skin!" The pheasant built a big pine cone on the tree, but it's a pity that it's not yet old enough to bear seeds.

This old woman was full of complaints - the village chief couldn't help but keep glaring at the pheasant.

It was Tang Xiaoxiao who treated Brother Pheasant better, and picked two dry little red fruits from a nearby bush for him to eat.This is a small berry, called red mushroom in the northeast, but after the berry is dried, it is just a nest of seeds wrapped in a layer of skin, and it tastes like nothing, which made Mr. Pheasant complain again.

These red mushroom girls brought back memories of Brother Big Head. When this stuff is not ripe, it is very bitter, but when it is ripe, the bitterness is very light.When he was young, he always picked up ripe red mushrooms, threaded them into strings, and kept them to eat slowly.

So the red mushroom girl who threw the pheasant into the snow picked it up, ready to taste it, to find the old taste.I stuffed it into my mouth, and subconsciously probed it with the plant essence. As a result, Brother Big Tou froze there all of a sudden.

Seeing that Tang Jide was motionless with his mouth open, the pheasant could not help but quack twice: "Big head, you are waiting to drink the Northwest Wind, this thing is so unpalatable at first glance——Big head, big head, it must be medicine, right? Don't eat anything indiscriminately!"

I have never had any medicine for decades since I was a snack—the village chief can't wait to kick the pheasant's ass hard.

Tang Jide finally woke up slowly, and he smacked his mouth a few times: "It tastes so good——"

This is a native of my hometown, who knows the ups and downs - the village head is very happy. As a native of the mountains, he has too much affection for this mountain, and he can't tolerate others saying something bad.

"Big head, you are staring and talking nonsense. I tasted it just now, and there is no taste." Pheasant is an extremely honest parrot who dares to insist on the truth, and of course it cannot tolerate this.

Brother Datou heheed twice: "Uncle Village Chief, next year we will grow red mushrooms in this mountain, please tell the villagers in the surrounding villages."

The village chief couldn't help being stunned when he heard this: "This thing is very good, soaking it in water and drinking it will make you lose your temper, but it's useless to plant so many, it's worthless at all, and it's a waste of effort."

In fact, Brother Big Tou did not expect to find a shortcut to rely on the mountains so quickly. The most common red mushroom girl in his childhood memory, under the investigation of the plant essence, gave him a big surprise: this There is a very strange thing in it, which he has never felt before, and its effect is somewhat similar to Zijin Dan, which can greatly improve body functions.It's just that if you want to extract it, it's not something ordinary people can do.

So he spit out more than a dozen mushroom seeds in his mouth into the palm of his hand, and asked everyone to search around for a while, and finally found hundreds of seeds, each of which was smaller than a sesame seed.

"Go, go back and I will do a trick for you." The big head brother waved his hand excitedly, and then led the old village chief and the others down the mountain.

Back at the village chief's house, he took down the broken pot where the garlic sprouts were planted on the window sill. The garlic sprouts inside were only about an inch high.Brother Datou stroked it lightly with his palm, and something terrified the village chief and the others happened: Garlic sprouts appeared more than a foot long, green and lovely, as if blown by air.

"Pull this out and fry it for lunch." Big Touge said as he pulled out the garlic sprouts and sprinkled mushroom seeds into the soil.

The people around were all dumbfounded. They saw the young seedlings popping up, and then they grew up rapidly, blossomed and bear fruit. In less than a minute, red mushrooms were hung on the seedlings of the mushrooms. Like a little red lantern.

But Tang Jide's next words completely stunned them: "Leave these seeds. After the new year, we will invest in Taohua Island and set up a processing factory in the village to harvest red mushrooms and make wine. It’s time to sell it to foreigners, at least a hundred dollars a bottle.”

If he said this in the woods just now, the village chief and the others would definitely not believe it.But after witnessing the miracle, they had a kind of blind admiration for Brother Big Head, and they kept nodding their heads no matter what Tang Jide said.

The pheasant has a quick mouth, pecked a fruit from the top, peeled off the thin outer skin skillfully, swallowed the small red fruit inside, and nodded while eating: "The taste is really good, by the way, if this fruit wine is produced Come out, don’t you want to put the big head brand on it?”
