break out of the ice

Chapter 173 Cui Yan
This time, Shi Jingqi still failed to find Li Tiancheng at the village committee of Hexi Village.

However, Shi Jingqi had only been to Hexi Village, and when he was in Hexi Village, he participated in one of the most lively events in their village recently.

Many people in the village knew him.

Although Li Tiancheng did not mention Shi Jingqi's identity in the village, it was rare to see the motorcycle Shi Jingqi rode yesterday in Hexi Village, and it was even rarer to drive a car today.

Seeing that the car stopped in front of the village committee, someone followed immediately.

Seeing Shi Jingqi go into the village committee and come out again, someone came over and said, "Are you looking for Secretary Li?"

Shi Jingqi found Li Tiancheng in the corn field.

The corn cobs of Li Tiancheng's family had not yet dried leaves, and it was not the time to break them, but Li Tiancheng and Du Mei'e were both breaking the cobs in the corn field.

Seeing Shi Jingqi approaching, Li Tiancheng hurried up from the field.

"Is this corn not yet ripe? Why are you harvesting it now?" Shi Jingqi asked.

"Now they are harvested, and they are more expensive to sell. Ezi picks out these corns and cooks them early tomorrow, and then pulls them to Mincheng to sell them. A corn cob can earn [-] cents." Li Tiancheng said.

From Hexi Village to Mincheng, it takes at least an hour to ride a bicycle. I didn't expect Du Mei'e to have this effort.

Shi Jingqi went to the city and said to Li Tiancheng, "Have you broken enough? If not, I'll help you."

Du Mei'e also came out of the cornfield and said: "It's okay, it's okay, Director Shi, don't go down to the field, don't get your clothes and shoes dirty, we've already finished our work, selling corn cobs, we can't break more in one day, Break off too much and the rest will not taste good."

"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be quite business-minded." Shi Jingqi praised.

Du Mei'e was very happy to get Shi Jingqi's sister-in-law. While loading the green corn cobs on the tricycle, she said to Shi Jingqi, "Director Shi is joking. Our farmers have no other income except selling more coolies. The way to money."

Shi Jingqi continued to praise: "Sister-in-law, if you can remember that selling boiled corn cobs is a way to make money, there are so many ways to make money, the only way to make money is to dare to think and do it."

Du Mei'e thought Shi Jingqi's words were nice, so she giggled.

He swiftly threw all the corn onto the tricycle, got on the tricycle himself, and said to Li Tiancheng: "Tiancheng, Director Shi must have something to do when he came to see you. You go to work, and I will go home by myself."

Then he said to Shi Jingqi: "Director Shi, let's have dinner at home tonight."

After finishing speaking, he rode a tricycle to leave.

Shi Jingqi hurriedly shouted: "Sister-in-law, I don't necessarily have dinner at home. If you have something to do, you don't need to make special preparations."

I don't know if Du Mei'e heard it, but she didn't turn her head, raised her arms and shook her hands behind her.

Shi Jingqi said to Li Tiancheng: "Sister-in-law is really hot and fast."

"Back then, I just liked her sharp temper." Li Tiancheng said with a proud expression on his face.

Shi Jingqi patted Li Tiancheng on the shoulder: "Secretary Li is blessed."

Li Tiancheng asked Shi Jingqi, "Is Director Shi here today?"

"After I left from you the day before yesterday, I thought that the grass in this forest is so good and the environment is so good, it would be useless if I don't use it."

"Secretary Li doesn't know, my father and father-in-law..."

Shi Jingqi told Li Tiancheng about the two old men.

He continued: "We discussed it, and it would be more convenient for the two old men to move to the forest farm. Does Secretary Li know someone from the forest farm? We were thinking about renting a forest?"

"I know, I know." Li Tiancheng said.

"But..." Li Tiancheng looked at Shi Jingqi's clothes and the eye-catching car behind Shi Jingqi.

Said: "I haven't heard of anyone renting the forest of the forest farm. I don't know how much the rent is. Let's discuss it with someone. Moreover, it doesn't seem like you are going to negotiate the rent."

Shi Jingqi understood what Li Tiancheng meant, and said, "Then listen to Brother Cheng."

Li Tiancheng was a little embarrassed, and said: "Actually, I don't know, I have to ask an acquaintance. Cui Yan, who is in charge of Hexi Village and a forest, is my classmate. My opinion is to ask him first."

Li Tiancheng is an honest person, and if he can be friends with him, his character should not be bad.

Shi Jingqi asked: "Then go now?"

With that said, he opened the car door and signaled Li Tiancheng to get in the car.

Li Tiancheng looked at his muddy trouser legs and cloth shoes, and hesitated for a moment.

Shi Jingqi asked: "Brother Cheng, go back and change clothes first?"

Li Tiancheng quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I've seen Cui Yan in everything I look like."

Only then did Shi Jingqi react: "Brother Cheng, don't worry about it, just treat my car as your sheep pen."

When Shi Jingqi said this, Li Tiancheng got into the car conveniently, and said with a smile: "This metaphor is not good. If we sit in it now, don't we both become sheep?"

Shi Jingqi also laughed: "Then compare it to a granary. Both of us are indispensable food for everyone."

"It's not good, isn't it true that everyone can eat us..."

Shi Jingqi, the compound where the forest farm works, has never been there, and he doesn't know where it is.

Just listening to Li Tiancheng's command, they drove deep into the forest.

In the depths of the forest, surrounded by green trees, there is a small courtyard.

There are also reading trees everywhere in the yard, and two rows of red brick houses are built beside the trees.

An asphalt road goes straight through the courtyard.

Shi Jingqi did not bring the car to the yard, but stopped a few hundred meters away from the yard.

He said with emotion to Li Tiancheng: "This place is really beautiful, like a fairy in the green field."

Hexi Village is like a large forestry office. Shi Jingqi, an outsider, finds it beautiful, but Li Tiancheng doesn't.

Even in Li Tiancheng's heart, like most of the villagers in Hexi Village, he was a little disgusted with these trees.

It cannot be eaten, drunk, chopped, sold, and has no benefit, but it occupies such a large amount of land.

If all these lands are used to grow crops, the income of villagers in Hexi Village will increase by at least several percent.

But even though Li Tiancheng thought so in his heart, due to his identity, he forced himself to think from a collective perspective.

Li Tiancheng did not respond to Shi Jingqi's emotion, but got out of the car by himself, and said to Shi Jingqi, "I'll go and find Cui Yan."

Shi Jingqi waited outside, thinking that it would be good to build a small courtyard for the two old men just like the small office courtyard of the forest farm.

About 10 minutes later, Shi Jingqi brought over a 30-year-old man with a slightly fat body and dark skin.

It should be Cui Yan.

Shi Jingqi hurriedly got out of the car.

Cui Yan is a forest ranger in the forest farm. He is a powerful person to the nearby villagers in the area he is in charge of, but in the circle, he is a low-level existence.

When Cui Yan first heard Li Tiancheng say that Shi Jingqi from the Cold Dish Group was looking for him to do something, he didn't believe it, thinking that Li Tiancheng was joking with him.

The people who look for him every day are either village cadres like Li Tiancheng, or the police in charge of nearby security, or some villagers who have disputes, such as some trees blocking the light on his field.

Li Tiancheng simply said a few words about what Shi Jingqi asked him to do, and he believed it.

Following Li Tiancheng came out.

Seeing Shi Jingqi get off the car, he hurriedly walked a few steps, holding Shi Jingqi's hand with both hands: "Hello, Director Shi, Hello, Director Shi, seeing is better than hearing a thousand words, Director Shi is really young and has a head, It's magnificent."

Cui Yan's greeting immediately made Shi Jingqi feel a little dazed, she didn't know what to say while holding Cui Yan's hand, she just replied mechanically: "Hello, hello."

Cui Yan's dog-legged appearance made Li Tiancheng a little embarrassed, so he bumped Cui Yan with his elbow.

"Director Shi is a real person."

Cui Yan grinned and said to Li Tiancheng: "It's not like I don't have the opportunity to practice. I finally seized an opportunity and wanted to perform well."

Shi Jingqi was amused by Cui Yan's appearance.

He said to Cui Yan: "Today, I have something to ask Brother Yan."

Cui Yan's dog-legged look grew again: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Director Shi, you can call me Xiao Cui, just call me Xiao Cui."

Shi Jing glanced at Li Tiancheng expectantly.

Make sure your friend is a forest ranger who deals with trees every day. If you don’t know it, you might think it’s a gold medal seller.

Li Tiancheng was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a tree to climb up, so he patted Cui Yan on the shoulder and said, "Can you still talk properly?"

Cui Yan said seriously: "Director Shi, you can call me Xiao Cui."

Well, there is no way to change the virtue of having fun when meeting a leader.

Shi Jingqi asked Cui Yan: "Is brother Yan off work? Find a place to sit after get off work?"

"Director Shi, you can call me Xiao Cui. Our job is not on time. Please wait for me, and I will ride my bicycle out." Cui Yan said.

Li Tiancheng said angrily: "Director Shi, why don't you just call him Cui Yan, to save him from nagging."

Shi Jingqi laughed, and said to Cui Yan, "Where does Cui Yan live? I'll just send you home later."

Cui Yan pointed to the small courtyard behind him: "Just live in the courtyard."

"Then I'll take you back after dinner later." Shi Jingqi said.

Cui Yan also wanted to take a car, but now he was immodest and said, "Then I will trouble Director Shi."

Shi Jingqi waved her hands again and again: "No trouble, get in the car."

The forest farm looks far away because it is surrounded by trees. In fact, it only takes more than half an hour to drive from the office of the forest farm to downtown Mincheng.

Shi Jingqi took Cui Yan and Li Tiancheng straight to the Mincheng Hotel.

He drove by himself and didn't dare to drink, but he ordered wine for Li Tiancheng and Cui Yan.

The four dishes are the same, and the wine is enough.

Although Cui Yan talked a lot, he was a real person.

As soon as he sat down, he said to Shi Jingqi: "Director Shi, to be honest, there are very few people who want to rent forests, and the forest farm has never thought of renting out forests. It is too easy for two things to happen that have never been done before. Extreme, either the rent is too expensive, or the rent is too cheap."

Shi Jingqi asked: "Is it possible to not rent out at all?"

Cui Yan waved his hand: "Impossible, there is no profit in the field now, and you can't seize the opportunity to make money when it comes to your door. You must be too stupid."

Li Tiancheng also said beside him: "It is indeed so."

As long as Cui Yan is poor, he only needs to patrol around Hexi Village, and at the beginning of noon, he will most likely go to Li Tiancheng's house for lunch.

So on this point, Li Tiancheng is clear.

Since renting out, no matter whether the price is high or low, it can always be done.

Cui Yan entered the forest farm at the age of 20 and has been in the forest farm for more than ten years.

He was very clear about the situation in the factory, and continued: "It's difficult in the factory now, so I definitely don't dare to ask you for more, and they are also afraid that they will ask for more, and let the customers who come here with great difficulty run away. After all, those trees are rented. If you don’t rent it to you, you won’t be able to generate higher costs.”

Shi Jingqi then asked: "Then how much is appropriate?"

Cui Yan thought for a while, and suggested: "I don't know how thick you want to be?"

How big is the place?In fact, as long as there is a small courtyard, a few houses are enough.

As for those chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep, just use a fence to pull them away.

Shi Jingqi did a rough calculation, and it would take about [-] square meters.

"Three hundred square meters, the old man must have a place to live." Shi Jingqi said.

"The area is not big, a few hundred square meters. The place is small, but you have to build a house and a yard. What if there are trees blocking your house and yard? Let's discuss these first." Cui Yan said .

According to Shi Jingqi's thinking, if there is a tree blocking the road, he must hold on to the tree first. Their house should be made as small as possible, enough for two old men to live in. The small house is also warmer in winter.

As for stacking things, try to build small and exquisite sheds.

It is easy to build the courtyard walls. The simple four walls will not affect the trees as long as they are not well planned.

Shi Jingqi told Cui Yan and Li Tiancheng his thoughts.

Cui Cheng thought for a while, and asked Li Tiancheng, "Brother Cheng, tell me, if you rent a [-]-square-meter forest to you, how much rent are you willing to rent?"

Li Tiancheng felt that he would definitely not rent such a woodland, if he wanted to herd sheep, he could just go to the forest, why bother to rent another forest by himself.

After thinking about it for a long time, he compared his income and said, "One hundred and fifty a year?"

In this way, in Li Tiancheng's mind, the price was already higher.

However, Shi Jingqi felt that [-] yuan a year was a bit small. If it was [-] yuan a year, the rent for ten years would only be [-] yuan. Not to mention Liu Guodong sharing it equally or letting two old men take it, Shi Jingqi was alone. One month's salary is enough.

"Is it a little less?" Shi Jingqi asked.

Cui Yan took another sip of wine, and said to Shi Jingqi: "Everyone thinks the rent is high, how can we raise it any higher?"

"That's it. I'll ask tomorrow to make sure that our rent will only be less than 150 yuan, and will not be more than 150 yuan."

Shi Jingqi filled Cui Yan's cup again: "Brother Cui Yan, I will trouble you then."

"What's the matter, that's what we do." Cui Yan and Li Tiancheng clinked a glass and said.
