Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 409 Preparation
The roar of the harvester woke up the sleeping small mountain village.

The small courtyards were lit up with lights, and the villagers walked to the hillside at the entrance of the village with flashlights. They were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The meadow is brightly lit, and the green grass has turned into a busy construction site.

In Daniu Bay of Qingshui River, a structure made of densely packed steel pipes has been erected, and there are trucks with their headlights on the mountain road.

Where did they come from?

A big question mark appeared in the minds of the villagers.

Jiang Yue found Li Hongbing with a tablet computer and said, "Mr. Li, this is a temporary rendering I made on site. Please take a look."

Li Hongbing glanced hastily.

Professional things, to professional people to do.

As long as the difference is good enough, don't let anything slip on your wedding day.

"Manager Jiang, you can make your own decisions on these matters. As long as the construction progress is not delayed, tomorrow will be the day I get married."

What kind of god are you?

Getting married in a rural area requires such a big scene.

Mr. Xu spent such a large amount of money. The cost of setting up the stage alone exceeded seven figures, and there were also
Thinking of the hush-hush order given to him by the company boss, Jiang Yue quickly shook his head and said.

"There's definitely no delay, it's just that more people are needed now to move the equipment because the installers have to adjust the screens and speakers."

Shortage of manpower!
The most indispensable thing in Caogou Village now is manpower.

Li Hongbing turned to the crowd carrying equipment and shouted, "Jianjun, come here."

Jianjun ran over sweating profusely.

"What's wrong, bro!"

"Go to the work shed and ask Brother Renyi to bring some workers over. He said he would work overtime and give each person 200 wages."

"it is good!"

Not long after Jianjun walked away, many flashlight beams appeared from the direction of the village entrance, running towards the meadow.

Uncle Nulu, Dakui, Laogen, Da Lei, Shui Sheng, and Xiucai.
"Master Red Soldier!"

"Uncle Red Soldier."

"Master!"

"Did I disturb you?" Li Hongbing was a little embarrassed. The tinkling and clanging at night was really bad.

"Uncle Hongbing is looking for someone to work. Why don't you tell us? Are you looking down on us?" They met Jianjun who was looking for someone on the way and found out that Li Hongbing was busy getting married. Da Kui and other villagers looked very angry.

"No, no, I'm not afraid of delaying your sleep."

Li Hongbing quickly denied it.

After hearing what Uncle Hong Bing said, the angry expressions of the villagers relaxed, and someone in the crowd said.

"Whatever you want to sleep on, sleeping is more important than your getting married. Stop standing and move."

The voice did not fall.

The villagers dispersed to join in the work of setting up the stage.

soon.

Jianjun came with Brother Renyi's construction team.

A team of more than 400 people was busy in the meadow.

Soon, a modern stage was quickly assembled from frame to background at a speed visible to the naked eye.

at last.

When the sky casts the first ray of sunlight.

The stage was completed with the concerted efforts of everyone.

The audio equipment was neatly arranged under the stage. As the sound engineer tested the sound, wonderful music slowly played. The colorful lights flickered on and off with the music, which was dazzling. A video about Caogou Village was played on a 20-meter-high screen.

"My dear, if you want to sing big on this stage, you must at least have a big horn."

"Look at this big TV, it's my home."

"Xiucai, get down, don't make the blanket dirty."

"Uncle Red Soldier, who are you going to invite to sing a big show and put on such a big scene?"

The villagers looked at the gorgeous stage and whispered, and Li Hongbing was also a little surprised.

I can’t figure out what kind of medicine Dalangge sells in his gourd.

If it were to hold a wedding ceremony, such a large stage would be overkill.

How about finding a few theater troupes to liven things up.

At this time.

Master Su and his apprentices carried baskets of steamed buns and buckets of steamed buns in large pots, shouting as they walked.

"Eat soup!"

"It's stewed in a big hot pot, and you won't miss your mother-in-law after one bite."

After a busy night, whether they were villagers or workers, their hungry stomachs growled, and when they smelled the delicious food, they surrounded the food delivery team.

"Don't be anxious, don't grab it, you all have a share!" Master Su took the iron ladle, filled the bowl full of it, and handed it to the worker, "There are white buns on the side, and there will be some after eating."

The ingredients used in the stew in the big pot are solid, including day lily, mushrooms, large pieces of pork, fungus, vermicelli, fried tofu, and fried meatballs. In addition to seasonings, there is also a lot of pepper noodles in the soup. After one sip, you will get hot and sweaty, dispelling the morning mountainous scenery. of dampness and coldness.

"Doctor Li, your soup." Master Su brought a bowl of stew in a big pot.

Li Hongbing was also hungry, so he took the bowl, picked up the chopsticks and started to devour it. After showing off two more steamed buns, he burped with satisfaction and pointed to the stage.

"I plan to place the banquet table in front of the stage and let Brother Renyi build a stone staircase on the hillside to lead to the cafeteria. How about that?"

Master Su looked in the direction, then turned to look in the direction of the cafeteria.

"Okay, I'm still worried about how to arrange the 150 tables. It's much easier to place them on the meadow. The kitchen can also be placed next to the banquet, so it's convenient to serve food."

"Then it's settled. I'll go tell Renyi and build a few more roads." Li Hongbing walked to the workers with the bowl in hand.

Seeing Village Chief Li coming, the workers gave up their positions one after another.

"Everyone has enough to eat. If there is not enough, there is still more over there!"

Li Hongbing greeted the workers and walked up to Wang Renyi, who quickly put down his bowls and chopsticks.

"It's okay, let's chat while eating!" Li Hongbing shook the bowl in his hand.

"Brother Renyi, I plan to build some mountain roads next to the meadow. You can see if I can do it today."

As he spoke, Li Hongbing pointed to the hillside near the canteen and then to the slope near the village entrance.

Wang Renyi raised his arm, wiped the grease from the corners of his mouth, spread his thumb and index finger, and squinted his eyes to measure the height of the hillside.

"Village Chief Li, how do you plan to repair it? Do it intensively or simply. I'm afraid it won't be completed in one day. If you want to repair it simply, you'll just dig out the steps. The bricks are all ready-made. You can just lay them in half a day."

Li Hongbing thought for a moment.

"I'll just do some simple repairs for now, as long as I can leave. After I get married, I'll do some serious repairs."

"No problem. After dinner, I will let the brothers work. I guarantee that it will be repaired in the morning and will not delay your marriage."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll pay you the wages later."

"No, I can't bear to collect money for this little job, so I'll just treat it as brothers and help you get married."

"What are you talking about! You have to be paid for work, and I'm the kind of person who takes advantage." Li Hongbing said with a straight face, pretending to be angry, "That's it, the amount is what it is."

Wang Renyi smiled honestly, took a step back and agreed.

Finished solving the matter on the meadow stage.

Before Li Hongbing could take a breath, Master Su found him again.

Explain that all the dishes for tomorrow's wedding banquet are ready, except for pig, lamb, chicken, duck, and vegetables.

Originally, these meat dishes should be prepared in advance, but Dr. Li said that he raised them at home and there was no need to buy them outside.

At that time, Master Su was still a little emotional. The owner prepared the meat dishes alone, clearly not trusting the chef's character.

Master Su admitted that he had indeed deducted food fees, but that was aimed at other owners. No chef who cooks banquets has clean hands and feet, and he is just a shady person.If you have a bad heart, a 400-yuan banquet can be deducted for 200 yuan. If you are not a bad person, you can only deduct [-] yuan.

As for Dr. Li's family, I promise in good conscience that they have never deducted food money, and even saved money when they could, helping Dr. Li save money.

But later, after eating vegetables grown at Dr. Li's home, Master Su realized that there were such delicious vegetables in the world.

Therefore, I am particularly looking forward to the pigs, chickens and ducks raised by Doctor Li.

barn.

Flocks of sheep gathered together in twos and threes and wandered on the meadow. The black pigs with fat heads and big ears leisurely gnawed on the green grass rich in the power of the origin.

"Doctor Li, how many years have you been raising black pigs?"

Master Su specializes in banquet chefs in the forest area and knows local ingredients well. The black pigs in front of him are authentic native black pigs in the forest area.

Nowadays, few farmers raise free-range black pigs. They eat a lot, grow slowly and have low meat yield. Generally, it only takes two years to grow to 150 kilograms.

Yangbai pigs are different. They can grow 300 pounds in half a year. If you add some medicine, they will grow faster.

In terms of taste and aroma, black pork can beat white pigs by a hundred streets.

The more than 100 soil-black pigs in front of him, each weighing more than 300 kilograms, and their round bodies made Master Su drool when he saw them.

Li Hongbing definitely couldn't say that he had only raised these native pigs for half a year, and just ignored it vaguely.

"It's been a few years. How many do you want?"

"No wonder you're so fat. Let me do the math!" Master Su nodded and thought for a moment, "I'm going to start receiving guests at the banquet today. Counting the banquet tomorrow, I'll kill ten of them first. If there aren't enough, there's still time to kill them again."

"Okay, you expert, you can choose it yourself!" Li Hongbing became the shopkeeper again.

Master Su was not polite. He led his apprentice to the middle of the pigs and selected ten boars.

When livestock are killed in rural areas, the males are usually killed instead of the females, because the females are used to give birth to offspring, and one of the males is left for seed.

Mark the picked pig's back with chalk and take it away together later.

"Doctor Li, the mutton is also pulled from here?"

After choosing the pig, Master Su looked at the sheep wandering not far away.

"Come on, be gentle when you kill the sheep. I plan to use the sheepskin to make a coat." Li Hongbing nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll do the cooking myself." Master Su smiled. Although the recipe included a dish of mutton with skin in a dry pot, since the owner said to leave the skin on, then leave the skin on.

When the sheep were being selected, the sheep were frightened and bleated.

Blackhorn, who was doting on his concubine in the stable, heard the harem calling for help and rushed out, only to see the Two-legged beast dragging his concubine away.

Steal my wife in front of me!

Who can bear this!

Black Horn's eyes spit fire, his head lowered, his hooves kicked, and he turned into lightning and rushed over.

"This sheep is so strong, hold on tight!" The two apprentices tried their best to drag the struggling fat sheep, unaware of the approaching danger.

Master Su, who was standing in the distance, saw it and quickly shouted to his apprentice to let the sheep go. The other apprentices also followed suit.

The two apprentices thought that their master and fellow apprentices were scolding them for being useless and unable to catch a sheep, so they worked even harder.

Seeing that the big white sheep with super big horns was about to hit his apprentice, Master Su couldn't bear to look at it.

If hit by such a big sheep, he would probably be either dead or disabled.

next moment.

The big sheep turned a strange corner and passed by the sheep-catching apprentice's clothes. The two apprentices felt a cool breeze blowing behind them.

Black Horn ran up to Li Hongbing, bleating in aggrieved manner.

Someone is arresting his wife, why should he stop him?

"They accidentally arrested the wrong one. They were originally going to arrest the male." Li Hongbing patted Heijiao on the head, "What if you bumped into someone just now? You forgot about Uncle Sanpao."

Black Horn shook his head to admit his mistake.

It’s not right to capture your wife anyway.

"Okay, if I don't arrest your wife, then you can drive all the rams over." Li Hongbing was too lazy to pay attention to this scumbag.

If you know not to catch your wife, catch the ram instead.

Black Point was immediately happy.

If there is only one ram left in the flock, it must be him, because other rams often avoid him and steal food.

If the owner hadn't been there, they would have all been killed.

Master Su secretly swallowed his saliva after seeing the appearance of this big sheep from a close distance.

What kind of sheep is this?
grow so big.

It's as tall as a donkey, and it also has those curved horns. If it were pushed up, it wouldn't kill someone.

"Master Su, if you ask the disciples to come back, Heijiao will help us herd the sheep." Li Hongbing turned around and said.

Noire is its name!
It really lives up to its name, it’s really a black corner.

However, Dr. Li said that this sheep would help herd the sheep?
It's not a dog.

Now that the master had spoken, what else could Master Su say and waved his disciples to put down the sheep and come back.

Seeing these two-legged beasts put down his wife, Black Horn turned around and charged into the sheep, kicking them with their heads and kicks, driving out the rams one after another from the sheep, and drove them in front of Li Hongbing.

Hi!
This sheep has become a spirit.

Master Su and a group of apprentices were all dumbfounded.

"Stop standing and catch the sheep!" Li Hongbing reminded with a smile.

Yes, catch sheep!

Master Su quickly urged his apprentices to tie the sheep up with ropes.

Pigs and sheep, solved.

The rest is chicken and duck.

It's been a long time since I've been to the chicken shed. Two fighting dogs were lying at the door of the chicken shed. They whined to warn someone when they heard someone approaching.

"It's me!" Li Hongbing stepped forward.

Seeing his savior, the fighting dog did not let down its guard, wagging its tail and coming close to Li Hongbing's legs.

"It's your turn to be on duty today, where's one ear?" Li Hongbing stroked the dog's head and rewarded him with two rays of original power.

Wang Wang Wang!
The pitbull barked.

"Oh, something came close to the chicken shed recently. Did Dahua, Jinzi and the dogs go to Moon Bay to settle the score with that guy?"

Pitbull nodded.

"I know, I'll go to the chicken shed to find Wucai." Li Hongbing stroked the dog's head again and walked towards the chicken shed.

Behind him, Master Su and a group of apprentices were completely dumbfounded.

Since arriving in Caogou Village, I have felt that this village is not simple. How can the flowers bloom so brightly at the end of September? The most blooming flowers in the mountains during this season are wild chrysanthemums and senecio.

Also, when I was chatting with the villagers, they all hesitated when talking about Dr. Li. Once I was drunk and learned from the villagers that Village Chief Li was the reincarnation of the mountain god.

At that time, Master Su and a group of apprentices all laughed.

What age is this? It’s still feudal and superstitious.

The mountain god was reincarnated, why not say he was the Jade Emperor?
But after just catching the animals, everyone remembered what the villagers said, and when they saw Doctor Li talking to the animals, they suddenly broke out in cold sweat on their backs.

Talk to the animals.

Who else besides the Mountain God has this ability.

Mom!
Do you want to kneel down and kowtow to keep yourself safe?
Li Hongbing, who walked to the door of the chicken shed, turned around and saw Master Su and his gang still standing there, and immediately frowned.

"Master Su, what are you doing!"

"Oh, it's coming, it's coming!" Master Su's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked over with his disciples, but his expression was more respectful and fearful.
