Chapter 3748 Don't Touch It

Yan Shen's people now control the research institute and also hold a place in the little girl's private company. Qin Jiang felt a mix of emotions, like a bottle of mixed flavors had been spilled.

In this situation, who could possibly be happy?

The Qin general couldn't help but feel envious, realizing he couldn't compare to the young Yan boy.

No matter how sour it is, there's nothing that can be done. After all, Yan and the girl have been working together for over a decade, establishing a foundation of trust early on, and no one can surpass Yan.

Qin Jiang felt a little jealous. Although he couldn't compare to Yan Xiaozi, he was at least the second person the little girl trusted, and he was the one who was envied.

To put it simply, he's currently not as good as Yan Shen, and no one else can compare to him. He's in a position that's neither good nor bad, neither at the top nor at the bottom. Being stuck in the middle like this is actually quite good.

With an Ah Q mentality, Boss Qin comforted himself and promptly put forward the candidate he had arranged to serve as the deputy director of the canteen.

The deputy director of the canteen, who was ordered to take up his post at Shishi, was surnamed Shao. He was two years older than Brother Ji and had also re-entered the workforce after retirement. He was from the north, broad-shouldered and burly, and had a very imposing presence.

The young woman had mentioned in advance which department would have staff assigned by the bigwigs, so President Meng and Li Junhe were prepared and welcomed Brother Shao's arrival.

Brother Shao officially joined the canteen department of the Third Pharmacy.

After meeting with his superiors, Brother Shao, along with the chef he brought, the electricians and drivers who had officially reported to the company, followed Brother Lou to choose dormitories.

When the bigwigs came to visit, as the young lady's top assistant, President Meng accompanied them to first visit the nearby South Office Building, and then tour the office area, production plant area, dining area and dormitory.

The dormitory area was spacious. Qin had toured the staff quarters and, based on the number of production lines, dormitories, couples' dormitories, and suites in the factory, secretly calculated how many employees the little girl's company would need.

The more employees a company needs, the more people they will assign to work there.

The size of the little girl's company determines the number of people assigned to work there, so Qin Jiang naturally hopes that the little girl's company will be as large as possible.

Having visited all the districts, the bigwigs had a good idea of ​​what to expect.

Because the boss was meticulous, he carefully surveyed every building in each area during his visit, and by the time he finished, it was almost eleven o'clock.

As noon approached, Boss Qin naturally invited us to have lunch at the industrial park.

Brother Zhou and his wife are the main chefs, and a few spare security personnel help out with odd jobs; they manage to keep things busy.

Moreover, those who go out to purchase supplies don't return to the industrial park for lunch to save time, so there are only three tables at noon, and Brother Zhou and his wife don't feel much pressure.

After having lunch at the industrial park, Qin will return to work at the police station in the city center.

Yan Shao, who accompanied him throughout the entire process, remained remarkably calm. After returning to work at the police station, he discovered that Boss Qin was subtly exploiting his labor out of jealousy, but he did not expose the Boss's little trick.

The little girl had no idea that Boss Qin had come to visit her industrial park. She and the head of the family were enjoying the scenery with Brother Xiao and the two handsome guys.

Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, believed his son's words wholeheartedly. When his son said he wanted to go to the mountains to observe plant growth and assess the distribution and availability of medicinal plants, they were naturally more than happy to accompany him on his journeys over mountains and valleys.

Xiao Shao was just following along for fun, and he didn't find it boring even if it was just walking along the road.

When Lan San and Hei Jiu saw any wild vegetables they recognized, they would pick them if they could.

The six people and their dog crossed one mountain after another, and at noon, they had a picnic by a stream.

Because they brought a small pot, the handsome guys washed the wild vegetables and cooked them with the other ingredients they had brought, which made everyone at the campsite beam with joy.

After lunch, we rested for about an hour before continuing our hike.

The little girl only climbed one mountain in the afternoon before calling it a day.

On the return trip, we didn't take the original route but instead took a shortcut.

It was nearly four o'clock when we came down from the mountain.

When they were almost at the foot of the mountain, the little girl and the handsome boy ran off to dig bamboo shoots again.

The bamboo grove belongs to the Le family; pine trees and bamboo grow together.

While searching for bamboo shoots, the Le couple found black-skinned chicken mushrooms. Their son was even more amazing, finding several clusters of morel mushrooms.

After digging up bamboo shoots, we walked along the path picking wild vegetables until we reached the foot of the mountain. Then we followed the stream upstream to pick water celery.

It wasn't until after five o'clock that the little girl waved her hand and headed home with her spoils.

While passing through the fields, Dad took the opportunity to look for cows.

Zhou Qiufeng took the children and handsome men home first.

The little girl returned, and Old Man Yi, curious about their harvest, enthusiastically went to watch. He then saw two young men, Lan San and Hei Jiu, one carrying a basket of mushrooms and the other carrying a basket of wild vegetables.

The basket that the lady of the Le family carried on her back contained only a pot, bamboo shoots, and ferns.

Old Yan was more interested in the mushrooms, so he went to get a winnowing basket and helped count the different kinds. The more he looked, the more surprised he became. There were not only chicken fat mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and phoenix tail mushrooms, but also matsutake mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, and even a precious dried mushroom.

That dried mushroom was as big as a rice bowl, wrapped in leaves, like a carefully tied bouquet of flowers, quite beautiful.

"This little girl is truly destined for the mountains. Others might pick some wild vegetables when they go into the mountains, but look at you, a whole basket of mushrooms! If others saw this, they'd be furious."

Old Man Yan was incredibly excited about counting the mushrooms. The little girl from the Le family was probably a daughter of the mountains, which explained why she never returned empty-handed from her mountain adventures. When Lan San saw Old Man Yan counting mushrooms, fearing he might damage the precious wild mushrooms the little girl had found, he quickly grabbed the bakan mushroom and carried it away.

"Old Master Yan, please have mercy. This little beauty of a mushroom is for making medicine."

"I recognize that mushroom, but I never intended to eat it." Old Man Yan rolled his eyes at the handsome young man. What did the young man mean? He wasn't some ignorant and uncouth person.

"Old Yan, you are a man of noble character and integrity, so naturally you wouldn't crave this kind of mushroom. It's just that the young lady said that mushrooms should be kept away from sweat or salt, etc."

"You can't touch it! Take it away right now. If you leave it here, it's so pretty, I might not be able to control myself."

Old Man Yan continued to take mushrooms out of the basket, and didn't forget to tell Old Man Ant which ones to eat that night and what would be the most delicious accompaniments.

Old Ant also went to get a bamboo basket, moved a small chair and sat down to clean the wild vegetables.

Lan San put the dried mushrooms in a small basket, went upstairs to get clean clothes, and then went to the bathroom in the south building to take a shower.

Hei Jiu and Xiao Shao also went to the South Building to take a bath, while Zhou Qiufeng went to the bathroom behind the building. The second-floor bathroom in the North Building was reserved for the little girl.

Humans who go for a stroll in the mountains need to take a bath when they come back, but the black dragon, who also climbs the mountain, doesn't need to. He climbs onto a chair in the main room and lies down waiting for the young lady.

Zhou Qiufeng worked quickly, washing her hair and taking a shower, and also washing her clothes.

While she was hanging out the laundry, her father returned with the cows.

Dad put the cow in the cow pen, gave it dry straw and corn stalks to eat, and then went back to get a change of clothes to wash up.

After hanging up the clothes, Zhou Qiufeng fed the chickens, ducks, and pigs, finished the housework, and then settled down to cook dinner.

After tidying himself up and washing his clothes, Xiao Shaolan returned to the north building of the Le family and began to clean the mushrooms and wild vegetables.

The little girl wrapped her hair in a cloth while hiking, but it still inevitably got covered in tree dust and ash, so she spent some time washing her hair, which made it the longest for her.

Dad had already prepared himself. When the little one came downstairs with his still wet hair, he quickly brought a mat to lay on the floor so the little one could sit down, and he used a hairdryer to dry his hair.

Xiao Shao also dropped what he was doing and ran to help Xiao Tuanzi with her hair, keeping himself very busy.

The uncle and nephew spent about half an hour drying the child's hair and tying it up. Looking at their masterpiece, they were happier than if they had found money.

After the little girl dried her hair, Old Man Yi and Old Man Yan happily discussed with her that they wanted to eat cured meat and bracken for dinner.

The request was within acceptable limits, so the little girl rolled up her sleeves, peeled a few bamboo shoots, took some bracken fern into the kitchen, and personally cooked a dish of stir-fried cured pork with bracken fern and a dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots with mushrooms to add to the dinner menu.

Everyone, young and old, was delighted to eat the fresh and delicious wild vegetables.

After the meal, the two elders and the handsome young men didn't rest either. They washed the wild vegetables and let them dry, and cleaned the mud and dust off the mushrooms before finally going to sleep.

The following day was also Friday.

The little girl still didn't go to the market; she stayed home and was a good girl.

After finishing her housework, Zhou Qiufeng prepared all the necessary supplies and started making bread, dumplings, and steamed buns.

Le's father and Yi Laoyan were in charge of chopping the filling, which consisted mainly of wild vegetables with a little bit of fresh meat.

Lan San was efficient; he helped roll out the dumpling wrappers, Hei Jiu and Xiao Shao made steamed buns, and the little girl was in charge of making dumplings.

Village Chief Zhou first went to the village committee to check in, and then went to visit the Le family with his wife.

The couple went to the Le family's house and saw the Le family of three and their guests busy making wild vegetable dumplings, looking very happy. They washed their hands and helped out.

With helpers arriving, Yueyun had Hei Jiu and Xiao Ge make dumplings, while Grandma and Grandpa Man were tasked with making steamed buns. She then took the time to prepare some filling and make a cornbread pancake.

Village Chief Zhou Man's grandmother visited her nephew's house, originally intending to invite Xiao Lele to their house for dinner that evening, but instead they ended up staying at Lele's house for lunch.

I was busy all morning and used up all the materials.

No rice was cooked for lunch; instead, we had pancakes and steamed buns as our main dishes. The little girl chopped up two large lobsters and several geoduck as our main course.

Grandma Zhou and Village Chief Zhou had lunch at the Le family's house and rested until 2:30 pm before leaving. The elderly couple returned home and immediately busied themselves killing chickens and ducks to prepare dinner.

Friday is the day that office workers and students look forward to the most.

Most office workers started work on the eighth day of the first lunar month, and worked for about three weeks. Students only started school after the Lantern Festival, and only attended classes for two weeks.

Even though schools have only been in session for two weeks, several middle schools in Shishi are already on a monthly break.

In Fang County, middle schools do not have a lunch break on Fridays. Students start class immediately after eating and are dismissed at 3 p.m., leaving students in remote mountainous areas to catch the bus.

Like other students at No. 3 Middle School, Zhou Tianxing would rush to the bus station with his backpack after class to catch the bus back to Jiudao.

The buses running the routes from the county seat to Jiudao and Shangzhuang are almost entirely filled with students.

The bus Zhou Tianxing was on was still on its way back to Jiudao, while primary and secondary schools in the capital were ringing the school bell for the afternoon dismissal.

The teacher called for the end of get out of class, and Han Mu, who was already prepared, rushed to the first row like the wind, dragged his bunkmate up with him, and ran: "Let's go, let's go home!"
