Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 437
"What, are you having trouble?" Li Hongbing looked at the dazed young man.

Zhao Tian reacted immediately, nodded and shook his head, and said incoherently, "No difficulty, if there is difficulty, no, sell it!"

"Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry!" Li Hongbing understood this young man's mood very well. He felt the same way when he made his first business.

Zhao Tian's excitement gradually calmed down, and then he picked up his energy and looked at this big customer who kept saying that he wanted to contract all the anthracite coal.

He was dressed in rural attire, wearing a coarse cloth jacket, wide-leg trousers, and a pair of yellow rubber shoes. His face did not look like he had done farm work.

Does he have that much money?
One hundred tons of anthracite coal is 7 yuan.

Besides, who would buy a hundred tons of coal and put it in their home without being able to eat or drink it?

Are you kidding me?

Zhao Tian asked cautiously, "Brother, do you really want to buy so much anthracite? A family can use 3 tons to break the sky in one winter."

"Three tons is not enough. I have a boiler room at home to heat hot water and gas. It uses a lot of water." Li Hongbing waved his hand.

Boiler Room.

Heat water and heat.

Who in the forest area dares to say that their home has a boiler room and heating.

I'm afraid you are joking!
Zhao Tian became more and more suspicious that the farmer in front of him was just a lazy village boy. He didn't have the rough hands and black face of a farmer. He began to feel disgusted in his heart and was about to chase him away.

A pair of young tourists nearby suddenly walked up to Li Hongbing, and one of them, a young and beautiful woman, exclaimed.

"It's Village Chief Li. I finally saw it alive. Where's your gold? I specially brought beef jerky for it."

What does it mean to see a living person?

Li Hongbing couldn't help but smile, "Jin Zi should be in the village right now. You should be able to meet him when you go to the village to play."

"Okay, can we take a photo together? You are famous on the Internet. All the Douishou platforms are filled with your jokes."

The woman took out her mobile phone and threw it directly to her reluctant boyfriend. She walked to Li Hongbing very familiarly and made the gesture of biye.

In fact, the tourists at the market had long recognized Li Hongbing, but due to a lack of face, they came up to chat with him. When they saw someone eating the first crab, others took out their mobile phones and rushed over.

"Village Chief Li, take a photo with me."

"Village Chief Li, I am your fan."

"Village Chief Li, I want to give birth to a monkey for you."

"Village Chief Li, does your village need volunteers? I am willing to work in the village and provide food for you."

For a time, the large gathering became crowded.

Li Hongbing was surrounded by tourists, and the vendors thought it was a big star. But when they learned from the tourists that it was Li Hongbing, the head of Caogou Village, they immediately crowded in to see the true face of the little bully in the forest.

Only then did Zhao Tian, ​​the charcoal seller, react.

Li Hongbing, the little overlord of the forest area, single-handedly turned Caogou Village, a deserted mountain and wild forest, into a tourist attraction. He led his people to push Shuanggou Village to the top and became the richest man in the forest area.

It was him.

No wonder it can eat hundreds of tons of anthracite coal in one go.

To him, this little money is just tofu tied with hemp rope, not worth mentioning.

Soon, the congestion attracted the village security team.

Dakui and Hongqi squeezed into the crowd with red armbands. When they saw the red soldier surrounded by the crowd, they quickly stepped forward to rescue them.

"Thank you all for your support. It's not appropriate to block the road for a photo. I just walk around the village when I have nothing to do. I can take a photo at any time. Let's play first, okay!"

After much talk, the tourists were pushed away, and Dakui and Hongqi were sweating profusely.

"Brother Hong Bing, if you are fine, just stay at home. Why don't you come out and cause trouble!" Hong Qi picked up the red armband from the ground and muttered.

go away!

I can go wherever I want!

Li Hongbing raised his leg and kicked Hongqi Hongqi, then turned to look at Zhao Tian who looked frightened with a smile.

"Boss, is there any problem with one hundred tons of anthracite?"

"No problem, I will bring the coal tomorrow." Zhao Tian nodded quickly.

Buy coal?

What is Uncle Hongbing buying coal for?
Dakui asked doubtfully, "Uncle Hongbing, are you running out of firewood? I'll send you some."

"Brother, don't you have some winter firewood in your house? My dad got a lot of it. I'll bring you some firewood tomorrow." Hong Qi followed up while covering her chin.

Store winter vegetables, store winter firewood, and gather winter fruits.

As the snowy day approaches, villagers have begun to prepare things for the winter in advance.

Li Hongbing was really busy and forgot about the firewood, and he took care of everything at home, so he took care of the outside, he said uncertainly.

"Shan Xing must have stored firewood."

Immediately Hongqi took over the conversation, with a look of contempt and ridicule, "Stop it, Sister-in-law Shan Xing sticks with you every day. When did you go to chop firewood? The firewood you use now is still chopped by a stupid boy and a blind man."

If you don't answer, you will die!

Li Hongbing raised his leg angrily. Hong Qi, who had been on guard for a long time, quickly jumped away. After dodging, he laughed and said, "No wonder you bought so much coal. Coal is not as convenient as firewood. Burning coal is poisonous and can kill people."

Hongqi is indeed right about this statement.

Burning firewood for heating has always been a common method for farmers. However, due to the environmental problem of destroying trees, forest areas began to close the mountains for afforestation in the early years, preventing villagers from going up the mountains to cut firewood.

But what should we do if the villagers use firewood for meals and fires during the winter? Some people bring coal to various villages to sell it, and the coal is blown up like crazy.

Therefore, in winter, many villagers in various villages burn coal for heating. In the absence of standardized heating methods, in order to improve the heating effect, they always like to keep the doors and windows tightly closed.

As a result, many families are poisoned by coal heating and cannot be saved. Since carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas, it is difficult for people to detect it. They will only realize the poisoning when they feel uncomfortable, but by then it is already too late.

Later, villagers from each village carried the coffins of the deceased who had been poisoned by gas and ran to the town to make a fuss. Only then did the superiors agree to allocate a special firewood mountain to each village for cutting firewood.

As for burning coal, no one mentions it anymore, and it will never be used.

Dakui also agreed with Hongqi's statement.

"Uncle Hongbing, why don't you buy coal? It's too poisonous. I'll take people to Chaishan later to get you some firewood for the winter."

Upon hearing that the business was going bad, Zhao Tian hurriedly saved it.

"Village Chief Li, there is no soot when burning anthracite. As long as the air circulates, it is safe if it is not in a closed room. It is more convenient than burning firewood."

Li Hongbing knew all this knowledge.

Coal, definitely bought.

And he burned it in the boiler room, which was separated from the bedroom by the kitchen.

The question now is whether the villagers are willing to use it.

"Dakui, I plan to buy more and give a share to the elderly in the village. What do you think?"

"Okay, okay, I'm just afraid that Uncle Yandang and the others won't want it." Seeing that Uncle Hongbing was obsessed with buying coal, what else could Dakui say, and he tried to persuade him tactfully.

"It's okay. If you don't want me to pile them all in the backyard, they won't go bad. If you don't use them all this year, you can use them next year."

After the decision was made, Li Hongbing and Zhao Tian set a time for delivering coal.

The two-day collection is over.

The whole village in Caogou Village is very tired. Although it is very tiring, it is full of gains.

Every household sold out all the souvenirs they had saved over the past few days, and also bought things they had been reluctant to buy before.The vendors are making a lot of money. The money they earn from one big market in Caogou Village is more than they usually earn from three markets.

When the market was over, the vendors were still unwilling to leave, so they begged Fang Wanda to allow them to continue setting up stalls in the village, even if they paid management fees.

This played right into Li Hongbing and Fang Wanda's hands.

The shortcoming of Caogou Village is that there are only a few stalls in the village. There are just the same items that come and go. Tourists may still feel fresh at first, but they will get tired of them after a long time.

The first purpose of holding a large market is to increase tourism projects in the village. The second purpose is to attract residents and vendors from ten miles and eight villages to the village, use their local specialties to increase the diversity of tourism products, and solve the problem of village committees by charging management fees. There will be a dilemma of light coming out but not coming in.

Of course, there is no charge for ordinary villagers to set up stalls and sell miscellaneous things. This is mainly for business vendors.

After receiving requests from vendors, Fang Wanda took advantage of the situation and re-planned the small square at the entrance of the village to open up a new market.

Li Hongbing was naturally relieved, and Wanda did his job well. The credit and honor were of course his own.

Uncle Huaizhong called specifically and said that Caogou Village's model of using tourism to drive the rural economy was very good. The higher-ups decided to vigorously promote it and recommend Caogou Village as a model pilot village in Northern Province.

Hello!
By the end of the year, the village will be on the right track, and by then I can relieve myself of the burden of being the village chief.

However, who should the village chief be entrusted to?

If spring students are not good enough, their ideas are too outdated, and building an army is still a matter of raw materials. It takes a few more years of study before one can leave the army.

Headache!

Li Hongbing lay in the rocking chair, rocking and enjoying the sunshine. Behind the rocking chair was the bear cub who was pushing the chair hard.

"Brother, are you ready for your gift? My sister-in-law called to urge you."

Shan Xing walked out of the main room wearing new clothes, her beautiful eyes were rippling, and her skin had the sheen of mutton-fat white jade, which meant that Li Hongbing had been working overtime to play ball in the past two days.

"Why bother? Why don't you go see the cheap father-in-law?"

Li Hongbing stood up from the rocking chair helplessly. The bear cub curled his lips, exhausted, and sat down on the ground. His small black eyes secretly missed his sister.

"Shall we pick up Anna first?" Shan Xing walked to Li Hongbing and took the initiative to hold his arm.

"Dad called and said he has arrived home. We will pick up Anna first and then go to the provincial capital."

Li Hongbing put his arm around Shan Xing's shoulders. The wolf dogs lay lazily on the eaves and took a nap, showing no intention of following.

"Dahua, take good care of your house. I'll pick Anna back up."

Woohoo!

Dahua raised her head, whimpered, and lay back down.

Go out of the old house and lock the door.

Anyway, animals like to climb over the yard wall to get in and out of the house, and the door is a redundant thing for them.

The Delica carriage is filled with local specialties from the mountains, as well as some native vegetables.

Start the car and drive to the entrance of the village.

Ouyang Hua leaned against the car door, smoking a cigarette out of boredom. When he saw the black van driving out of the mountain road, he quickly got in and followed.

The two cars slowly drove away from Caogou Village.

As soon as Li Hongbing left, Wu An wandered to the door of the Li family's old house, walked around in a circle and picked an apple from the fruit tree. After eating, he chopped the scenery for a while, then wandered away.

Shi Yuanwei stood anxiously at the entrance of the courtyard and paced back and forth. When he saw Wu An appear, he stepped forward and asked anxiously.

"Wu Sang, have you seen Mr. Li?"

Wu An shook his head, "Village Chief Li is not at home. I heard from the villagers that they saw Delika leaving the village, so he may have gone out."

idiot!

Not at home again.

Shi Yuanwei cursed angrily.

I have been in this village for more than a week, but I still can't see Li Hongbing. Could it be that he knows what he wants to do and deliberately avoids me.

My family kept calling me, asking about my ancestor's whereabouts, and I began to doubt my ability.

But Li Hongbing never met, so what could he do?

at this time.

Hongqi held a piece of grass in his mouth and swaggered to the front of the yard.

"Hey, they're all here!"

"Brother Hongqi, what's wrong?" Wu An asked with a smile.

"Well, your room fee has been used up. If you want to stay, you have to pay again. Here is the list." Li Hongbing took out a crumpled letter from his arms.

"Baga! I remember I only paid 5 yuan, how could I use it so quickly? A five-star hotel is not as expensive as yours." Shi Yuanwei became angry and asked in a stiff tone.

Hong Qi's eyes widened. When he found out that the person living in this courtyard was Xiao Ri, he felt unhappy. Thinking of the stone tablet in Qinglong Village, he wanted to throw Xiao Ri into a manure pit and drown him.

"Xiao Baga, your little money is enough. You want to eat the best every meal. If you can do it without spending money, you really think we are a charity. If you can't live in love, get out, I won't serve you anymore!"

you! !

Ishihara Wei was so shocked that he was speechless.

Since coming to China, I have been warmly received wherever I go, but I have come to this mountain village full of malice. Sometimes when I walk in the village alley, I can feel someone following me behind me.

A few nights ago, there were people throwing firecrackers and dropping feces into the yard. If complaints were not made to stop this malicious behavior, Shi Yuanwei was afraid that one day he would be arrested and beheaded as a sacrifice to the mountain god.

"Mr. Ishihara, please don't get angry. They are doing this to drive you away and don't want you to find your ancestors." Wu An quickly whispered into Shi Yuanwei's ear.

Sotesne! !
Shi Yuanwei's eyes lit up. Wu Sang was right. The more they acted like this, the more guilty they felt and wanted to use such a bad way to make themselves retreat.

I have seen through your sinister intentions.

The same trick can only be used once on me.

After thinking about it on his own, Shi Yuanwei's expression changed and he elegantly picked up the letter paper from the ground.

"The food in your village is great and worth the money. I will pay the next payment as soon as possible."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Hongqi's eyes, and when Shi Yuanwei noticed it, he became more and more sure of his guess. The little tsundere once again satisfied himself and walked back to the yard with a swagger.

Only Wu An and Hong Qi were left in front of the door. They looked at each other and nodded slightly, with a smile on their lips, and then they dispersed.

Back at the village committee, Hong Qi picked up the teapot on the table and took a big sip, then spit it out the next moment.

"A dog got it, what a bad tea. Brother Hongbing has earned tens of thousands, so he can't lose face just by drinking this kind of tea."

Fang Wanda put down the pen in her hand, took the teapot, and took a sip. An expression of enjoyment appeared on her face, which made Hong Qi shiver in disgust, and she quickly walked away a few steps.

"This is the tea I drank. Mr. Li's Orchid Longjing is in the cabinet. Do you dare to drink it?"

What don't I dare to do!
Hongqi raised his neck, then immediately retracted it, and said in a coquettish voice, "I'm not thirsty. By the way, when I came to pay the money that little day, what leverage did he have in Brother Hongbing's hands to be so obedient?"

"I want to dig up the stone tomb in Qinglong Village and take away his grandfather's bones." Fang Wanda said softly.

Dig a grave! !
Hongqi smiled.

Even if all the villagers agree, Brother Hongbing will not agree.

His grandpa is holding down the little devil!

If you dig your grandfather's grave, you won't be afraid of being beaten to death by the National Day Grandpa.
