Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 212 A Treasure

Send Master Su away.

Lie back in the rocking chair to take a breath, just picked up the teacup.

The phone rang again.

Irritability!

They all set call restrictions, so why are there so many calls?

Li Hongbing wished he could lose his phone, he was so busy today that he didn't have time to catch his breath.

Press the ON key.

The elder sister's voice came from the phone.

"San'er, we'll be there soon."

"Understood." Li Hongbing lazily got up from the reclining chair, looked at Shan Xing who was tidying up the house, "Xing'er, parents, eldest sister, and second sister will be home soon."

Ah!
Shan Xing exclaimed, and hastened to tidy up the room.

Li Hongbing shook his head, whistled, called four wolfhounds, and walked slowly to the gate of the yard with his hands behind his back to wait.

After a while, two cars drove into the open space in front of the old house one after the other.

As soon as the car stopped, the father hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car, ignoring his son coming, looking for something around, and muttering in his mouth.

"Ni'er, grandpa is here, and he brought chocolates."

The mother, eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, second sister, and second brother-in-law stepped out of the car. What surprised Li Hongbing even more was that his two nephews also came.

"A lot, Jiajia!"

The eldest nephew Qian Duoduo smiled shyly, and adjusted his glasses, "Uncle, the villa is smoky and returning to Wanmu, the Yangtze River rains and the rainbow hangs, it's a good place."

"It's still you who can talk, what does Jiajia look at!" Li Hongbing stretched out his hand and patted the head of his second nephew Cui Jia, who stared straight at the four wolfhounds with unconcealed love in his eyes.

"Uncle, give me a wolfhound!" Cui Jia begged with a playful smile.

"Ask them, if they are willing to go with you, I don't care." Li Hongbing responded casually, but Cui Jia really went to ask.

Li Hongbing shook his head helplessly.

The second brother-in-law, Ying Ming I, how could he have such a naive son.

Don't think about the result.

Ahhh! !

"Uncle, stop them quickly." Cui Jia ran away screaming, and Dahua and the others chased after them leisurely.

The eldest sister came over with a smile, and cast her eyes at the tall wall, "San'er, I heard from your brother-in-law that the old house has been refurbished well, and it can catch up with the luxurious villas in the city."

Facing the eldest sister, Li Hongbing has a natural awe. Perhaps it is because he was beaten up when he was young, which left a shadow of his childhood. Although the elder brother-in-law runs a real estate company, the elder sister is very strict and particularly hates extravagance.

When the big hat was put on, Li Hongbing's legs were so frightened that his legs became weak, and he quickly tried to please and defend him, "No way, it's just a simple renovation, and I will stay here for a while. Don't listen to my brother-in-law's nonsense."

"That's the best, what about Shanxing?" The elder sister was satisfied with her younger brother's answer, and looked around.

"She's tidying up the room."

"She's working, you're lazy, and you're a rich landlord!"

The eldest sister glared at Li Hongbing, and walked into the yard with her mother and second sister who were watching.

"San'er, where is my precious granddaughter?" The old man ran over angrily when he couldn't find anyone.

Afraid of the eldest sister, but also afraid of the old man, Li Hongbing raised his chin in the direction of the village angrily.

"Anna is playing in the village and will be back later."

"Nie'er is so young, you can rest assured that she will be outside alone, what kind of father are you?"

Hearing that his granddaughter was in the village, the father immediately quit. First he gave Li Hongbing a meal, and then walked towards the village angrily.

Ahhhhh!
"Uncle, let them stop biting me."

Cui Jia galloped past in front of everyone, but everyone didn't seem to see this scene, they were still talking about each other, even the second brother-in-law also acted like he didn't know his son.

The eldest brother-in-law was chatting with Sun Qiang and Wang Hai, and Li Hongbing saw the two of them smiling and groveling, so he knew what reward the eldest brother-in-law had promised them.

"San'er." The second brother-in-law looked mysterious, and pulled Li Hongbing to the side, "Is there any Qixiang San, get some more."

"Why? The survey results are good."

When the second brother-in-law left last time, he took a batch of Qixiang powder from Li Hongbing, saying that he was doing market research.

Hearing this, the second brother-in-law raised her brows with joy, "It's not only good, it's really good. Last time I saw that you still have a lot in the pharmacy, this time I will take them all back."

Can make money, who is not happy.

But Li Hongbing directly poured cold water on the second brother-in-law.

"I want to eat farts! Those Qixiangsan are reserved for the village, there is no extra."

"Hurry up and process it!" The second brother-in-law was anxious.

That day, I brought 5 catties of Qixiang powder back to the company, and asked the employees below to pack them in sachets of 50 grams each, priced at 30 yuan a pack.

At the beginning, the salesman was so talkative that no customers were willing to buy it. They either thought it was too expensive, or thought it was low-grade packaging, or thought it smelled bad. Anyway, it was all kinds of disgust.

But after all, there are still people who eat crabs, such as those aunts and uncles who like to go to the supermarket for nothing.

Elderly people always have some physical problems.

Can't sleep at night and wake up early during the day is a common problem.

After those uncles and aunts bought Qixiang powder and went home, they put it on the bedside according to the salesman's instructions.

I actually slept until dawn all night, and the dizziness and neck pain in those mornings were relieved a lot.

Who would believe this, the terrified grandpas and aunts thought that the time was approaching, so they rushed to the hospital for various examinations. Anyway, it doesn’t cost money to see a doctor after retirement.

When I came home and saw the bedside sachet, I remembered what the salesman said.

This sachet uses wild herbs, which can regulate Qi, dredge meridians, fragrance and avoid pollution, wake up the spleen and eliminate dampness, repel mosquitoes and detoxify, calm the mind and help sleep.

At that time, I thought it was exaggerated publicity, not all TV commercials boasted like that.

Unexpectedly, the effect is really good.

As for the most suitable person for the position of information promoter, it is none other than grandpa and aunt, who can spread the news all over the community with just one cigarette.

At that time, the salesman in the supermarket was still worried about not being able to complete the task. He didn’t want the supermarket to just open, and a swarm of grandpas and aunts surrounded the counter, all saying that they wanted to buy sachets.

In less than half a day, 5000 copies of Qixiang powder were sold out, in exchange for 15 sales.

Who can resist this!
The second brother-in-law who got the news almost jumped up from his chair and called his brother-in-law, showing that he was blocked!
A group of speechless people!
What a bad habit of a mother.

Pull black at every turn.

Now I caught my brother-in-law, and he said it was out of stock.

The second brother-in-law seemed to be holding back a mouthful of old blood, and couldn't get it out.

Whether it makes money or not is the second thing. The word-of-mouth of the supermarket is important. Now the customer flow in the supermarket has increased by [-]%. Every day, people buy Qixiang powder by name.

Some VIP customers, old friends, and related accounts almost blow up their mobile phones.

Just for a sachet.

"I don't care, I have to see Qixiangsan today, or I won't leave."

Seeing his second brother-in-law acting like a child, Li Hongbing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only say that this is the last batch of Qixiang powder, and if he wanted to reprocess it, he had to buy the herbs himself.

The second brother-in-law was both disappointed and happy when he only got one hundred catties of Qixiang powder. At least he succeeded in cheating. Some is better than nothing, and he can barely deal with those related customers who cannot refuse.

As for the acquisition of herbal medicine, this matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

"What are you talking about? The two of you are sneaking around." After Enwei and his two love generals, the eldest brother-in-law walked up to the two brothers in disdain, and grabbed Li Hongbing's neck.

"San'er, you are not kind."

"What's wrong?" Li Hongbing was at a loss.

The eldest brother-in-law pulled out a string of bodhi neck pendants from the neckline. It was just a Hetian jade pendant, but now it has become a sachet.

"You made this thing, right? You partnered with Cui's second son to do business. Why didn't you bring me with you? Thanks to me, I built a house for you. That's how you thank me?"

"!!"

Li Hongbing was dumbfounded.

I didn't know how to answer this question.

It was the second brother-in-law who said, "Okay, what trouble are you doing in real estate, you have channels or retail stores, why don't you let your long-legged salesmen sell sachets all over the street."

Hey!

The eldest brother-in-law smiled wretchedly, and changed the topic, "San'er, what do you think about doing homestay tours in Caogou Village?"

After working for a long time, with a gun and a stick in front, I finally saw the poor dagger.

Li Hongbing shook his shoulders, shook off the shoulders of his eldest brother-in-law, and said angrily, "If you want to engage in tourism development, just say so, why run on me."

"It was Cui's second son who taught me the strategy, saying that it's called the 36 strategy first and then the courtesy." The eldest brother-in-law betrayed his teammates happily.

The second brother-in-law said angrily, "Boss Qian, I won't take you to play like this, cross the river and tear down the bridge."

Watching the two brothers-in-law sing together.

Li Hongbing was really speechless, the two together were almost a hundred years old, how could they still be like children.

Well, Tie Dan is smarter than both of them.

"Stop acting, this matter can be done, but it's not yet time, at least we have to wait until the rainy season comes."

Oh! !

The two brothers-in-law immediately stopped bickering and looked at their brother-in-law in unison.

If he heard correctly, he said that homestay tourism can be done.

Immediately the eldest brother-in-law began to pretend to be pitiful and complained from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, the idea of ​​the Caogou Village tourism project came up after he returned to the city after celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival in the village.

Now the real estate business is not easy to do, the deposit is very serious, and influenced by the elder sister, he is very strict in his work and requires quality first. Unlike other real estate, he starts selling off-plan houses before the building is built. He has to cap the sale before starting to sell.

Although house buyers are very fond of the real estate developed by their own companies, the return of funds is very slow.

Other real estate companies crazily grabbed resources, bought a piece of land and started pre-sale immediately, then mortgaged the land, and continued to buy another piece of land, just like a snowball.

Moreover, the 369 model is also used for building houses, that is, construction starts in 3 months, opening in 6 months, and capping in 9 months.

As a result, their own real estate company has no land to buy, and the better land is bought by other companies, and the remaining land is either in a remote location or has no value.

This made the eldest brother-in-law also have a plan to open up a new industry. When he consulted with the second brother-in-law, the second brother-in-law let it go, saying that he was doing business in partnership with his brother-in-law.

That's why I coerced my second brother-in-law to perform a play in front of Li Hongbing.

After listening to the tragic entrepreneurial history of the eldest brother-in-law.

Apart from admiration, Li Hongbing still admires him. The eldest brother-in-law is simply a white lotus in the real estate industry. It is really hard for him that the company can survive till now.

However, this still can't change my plan, it can only make my eldest brother-in-law persist.

"Wait, now is not the time."

"Well, anyway, I'll wait for your letter." The eldest brother-in-law knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he just ordered it as soon as he could.

The second sister appeared at the gate.

"What are you three doing outside, why don't you hurry in."

"Here we come." The three gentlemen hurriedly nodded and bowed in agreement.

at this time.

There was also a sad young man running wildly with his head buried in his head. After running for such a long time, he was only one breath away from running out of fuel.

The four wolfhounds behind him seemed to be deliberately teasing him. As long as they slowed down, they would growl and bite their legs with their mouths, scaring the boy so much that he had to speed up.

"Uncle, father, uncle, help me!"

Cui Jia cried out pleadingly.

Brother-in-law, "Someone called me, did you hear that?"

Second brother-in-law, "Did you hear me wrong! Who is there?"

Li Hongbing, "Go inside and drink tea."

……

In the courtyard of the old house.

Mother, eldest sister, second sister, and the three of them, led by Shan Xing, visited all the rooms.

I am full of praise for the effect of the renovation of the old house, especially my mother has long been displeased with the old house. There is no water, electricity, and toilet. The house is dilapidated and old, and the house smells damp on rainy days.

It is different now.

Spacious and bright wooden houses, each house is equipped with air-conditioning, the kitchen has floor-to-ceiling glass, and the toilet is covered like a hotel.

Li Hongbing walked into the rice field with his two brothers-in-law, saw his mother and the others sitting under the old oak tree, talking mysteriously, Shan Xing blushed and nodded passively.

If you can't beat it, just join.

The three old men humbled the three old Buddhas in the family.

After a while.

The old man dragged Anna, who was like a mud monkey with puffed cheeks, back home.

"grandmother!"

When Anna saw the old woman, she immediately changed her face and got into her arms.

Li Hongbing frowned, showing his father's majesty, "I played mud with Tie Dan again. I just changed my clothes in the morning. It looks like my grandma's clothes are dirty."

Before Anna could speak, the old man jumped out and pointed at Li Hongbing's nose to turn over the old score.

"You have the face to say Ni'er, you were like this when you were a child, either you were deceived to expose tiles, or you went to the river to fish for shrimps, and you wore new clothes and got big holes when you came back."

My mother didn't say anything, she rolled her eyes, "I just like Nier's vivaciousness, she just washes her clothes when they get dirty, she is still a child."

Double standard!
Bloody double standard.

Who was not a child back then.

When you played me in mixed doubles, why didn't you say that I was a child.

Li Hongbing sat down depressed, and when he saw the sly eyes of the elder sister and the second sister, he became even more depressed.

After delivering the water pipes and firewood, the blind man and the silly boy returned home.

Dad beckoned them to come and sit down. Mom knew there was something serious to talk about, so she took the women to work in the kitchen.

"What's the arrangement for tomorrow?"

Li Hongbing nodded and said, "It's all arranged. I invited the theater troupe to sing a big play for three days, and the banquet is at the door. There are 600 tables, [-] dishes, and ten bowls."

The old man gave his son a contemptuous look, "Didn't I ask this, did the blind man and the idiot invite the villagers to dinner?"

"Please, I've already told the village." Li Mingbing looked bewildered.

As soon as the words fell, the old man immediately put on the air of a patriarch.

"It's useless for you to say that the blind man and the blind boy grew up eating hundreds of meals. The kindness of a meal is remembered for a thousand years. In the morning, you will accompany the silly boy and the blind man to kowtow to invite people from house to house. Don't let the villagers say that Lao Li's family is not good. Know the rules."

After all, the second brother-in-law smiled and took out a thick stack of red envelopes from his pocket and put them on the table.

The father pointed to the red envelopes and taught his son the principles of life.

"The Li family has a baby, give a gift to thank the villagers for their support. Blind and foolish children survive, and give another gift to thank the family. I understand, if the gift is not enough, the village will poke the Li family's backbone."

As expected, an old family is like a treasure.

Li Hongbing stuffed the red envelope into his arms with a look of admiration.
