Druid's Country Retirement

When the sky in the forest area is bright, Caogou Village is still immersed in a dreamland. The weak light shines through the dense branches and leaves on the ground, forming mottled light spots.

Ring ring ring! !

A shrill ringtone broke the silence.

There was mumbling in the quilt, and then he stretched out an arm, grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table and pressed it randomly.

The ringtone disappeared, but the next second, the phone rang happily again.

"Who is it? Are you bothering me? It's a late night game call."

"Maybe it's urgent, please pick it up quickly."

Li Hongbing got out of the quilt and rubbed his eyes irritably, trying to get rid of the sleepiness. He muttered in his heart who called so early. He touched the mobile phone on the bedside table and saw an unfamiliar number displayed on the screen.

"Hello? Who is it!" Li Hongbing's voice was a little unclear.

"Mr. Li, this is Shangguan Yun. We have already climbed up to Chaotian Rock and will be arriving at Caogou Village soon." A strange voice came from the other end of the phone.

Who is Shangguan Yun?
Li Hongbing was confused for a moment, but his mind suddenly came to his senses. During a video conference yesterday, he invited executives from three companies to his old house and prepared prescriptions for them on the spot.

"okay, I get it!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Hongbing's sleepiness had completely disappeared. He turned on the light, lifted up the quilt and put on his clothes.

Shan Xing propped himself up, and the white grout was particularly eye-catching under the light, and asked lazily, "Brother, what happened?"

"It's okay. The company is here to visit the employees. You can sleep a little longer." Li Hongbing leaned over and kissed Shan Xing's forehead, put on his thick coat, opened the door and walked out.

"There are guests coming, then I'll get up and cook." Shan Xing also got up and brought all the clothes.

At this time, it was still dark outside.

Pulling open the door bolt of the hall, a biting cold wind blew across his face mercilessly. Li Hongbing subconsciously shrank his neck. However, the cold wind seemed not to let up. It penetrated through the collar, cuffs and corners of clothes, making Li Hongbing feel uncomfortable. Its power was felt throughout the whole body.

There are two worlds inside and outside the house.

Li Hongbing couldn't help but shudder, quickly tightened his clothes, turned around and shouted into the room, "Myolie, please wear thicker clothes, it's very cold outside."

After that, he walked down the steps and turned on all the street lights in the old house.

Shan Xing, wearing a thick flowered jacket, entered the kitchen and began to work. A faint smoke rose from the kitchen chimney.

The journey from Chaotian Rock to Caogou Village is only over ten miles.

In a matter of seconds, the convoy, led by Li Ming, drove to the entrance of the village, and the sound of dogs barking could be heard in the village.

Li Ming asked the convoy to stop on the side of the road, rest for a while, and tidy up his appearance. This was the first time except for himself to visit, so as to leave a good impression on Mr. Li.

"Mr. Li lives here?"

After Shangguan Yun got off the car, he moved his body, which was numb from the long ride, and looked at the small mountain village shrouded in the faint morning light. The mountains in the distance looked more majestic in the dim light, with clear outlines, like an ink painting.

The air is filled with the aroma of grass and earth, and taking a deep breath makes you feel relaxed and happy.

Having lived and worked in the country of windmills for many years, I know that foreign countries prefer rural towns and prefer to live in suburban areas. I believe that work is not the only thing.

But after returning to China, I found that I love work more in China. Work systems such as 996, 007, 886, and 715 are extremely popular in some industries. Even the boss can’t wait to work around the job 24 hours a day.

But Shangguan Yun was very puzzled by Mr. Li's behavior. It would be okay if the company was already on the right track, but Oak Agriculture was still in its infancy.

The boss of the dignified company is hiding in the countryside, ignoring and letting things develop as he pleases. Even though he has been in office for so many days, he only met the boss behind the scenes for the first time yesterday in a video conference.

It seems that Mr. Li doesn't care about the company and has a dispensable attitude.

Since you don't like to open, why bother to set up so many companies? From production to distribution and sales, the setup has formed an independent cycle chain, and it is also an extremely healthy and high-quality enterprise.

It is really incomprehensible.

"Get in the car and let's go. Mr. Li is waiting for us at home." After taking a break, Li Ming greeted the executives to get in the car.

The convoy started again and drove towards the old house.

Li Hongbing stood at the gate of his old house, with four majestic wolf dogs squatting beside him. They ate plump hares and pheasants on the meadow every day and became stronger. They squatted with their heads on Li Hongbing's waist.

And recently, the wolf dogs spend less and less time at home. Since the last time I went to Qinglong Mountain to see the wolves, the wolf genes in the blood have awakened.

Even the most domestic-oriented flower began to stay away from home at night. Except for seeing dead hares and pheasants at the kitchen door in the morning, I knew they had come back at night.

As the old saying goes, if you don't keep a daughter when you're old, you'll become an enemy if you keep a daughter.

The same goes for wolfdogs.

A wolf is a wolf. It would rather choose a world of ice and snow than a heated kennel. It would rather die of exhaustion than of laziness. It would rather die of fighting than of starvation.

Forests and wilderness are their final destination.

Raise them by yourself, why don't they accompany you when you are lonely?

It’s hard to tell who owes whom!
It’s all equal efforts, as long as there are no regrets for each other!

On the mountain road in the distance, car lights appeared one after another, and more than ten cars parked in the open space in front of the door from far to near.

Li Ming took more than 20 senior executives out of the car and came to Li Hongbing.

"Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you so early."

"You know how to bother me, it's not even bright yet." Li Hongbing replied pretending to be angry.

This sentence made everyone suddenly panic and uneasy.

Even though Mr. Li has a good temper and doesn't get angry easily, he will feel shuddering when he gets angry.

A few days ago, Oak Express offended Mr. Li for some reason and masturbated him from top to bottom.

In particular, Vice President Cai ended up committing suicide. The gossip below said that Vice President Cai's death was forced by Mr. Li.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Hongbing knew that the joke was over, so he stopped talking and waved to invite, "Okay, let's sit in the room and have a drink of hot water on a cold day."

After that, Li Hongbing patted the big flowers on their heads and told them to go play in the meadow without accompanying him.

The senior executives from the three Oak trees companies, except for Li Ming who often visited Li Hongbing's house, were the first to visit. They learned from other people that Mr. Li's home was very beautiful.

As for how beautiful it is, I have no idea. It should probably belong to a mansion in the mountains!
Who makes Mr. Li rich?
Despite being frightened, the executives walked into the Gaomen compound with excitement.

The first sight is the bluestone bridge over the gurgling water. Because the water from the canal comes from the Bailong Pond in the backyard and is mixed with hot springs, a layer of mist floats on the canal, like a layer of soft silk, gently covering the water surface.

As the breeze blew and swayed gently, the light passed through the water mist, casting a golden light spot.

So beautiful, worthy of Mr. Li, he gave us a showdown as soon as we walked in! !

The executives were secretly stunned. They had never seen a mansion before, but they knew that this was a small mountain village deep in the forest.

To create this kind of landscape, manpower, material resources, and financial resources need to be doubled.

Walking along the stone pavement, you will see a towering tree standing quietly in the hazy sky. The crown of the tree is like a huge umbrella, open in the night. Its branches are thick and powerful, and the bark is covered with The traces of time seem to tell the story of the vicissitudes it has experienced.

"What a big tree!"

All the executives raised their heads at the same time. It was almost impossible to see such a big tree in the city, and it was still in a yard.

Even if it appears in the city, if you are lucky, a protective sign will be hung, and a fence will be built to prevent you from approaching it. If you are not lucky, it will be secretly sawed off in the middle of the night, and in a few days it will become solid wood furniture in a big shot's home. There are orchards and vegetable gardens on both sides of the corridor. When you come to the rice farm, you are even more shocked by the wooden hall full of ancient charm.

The senior executives’ eyes were filled with envy.

No wonder Mr. Li is hiding in the mountains and can't come out. If it were him, he wouldn't come out either.

Living in this kind of environment, I'm afraid I can live a few more years.

"Sorry, we don't have enough stools at home, so just sit on the benches!" Li Hongbing came out of the warehouse carrying several benches.

"It's okay, we can do it ourselves." Li Ming and several senior executives quickly took over the stools.

"Okay!" Li Hongbing nodded, then went to the kitchen to fetch a water bottle, tea leaves, and cups, "Make the tea yourself, you're welcome."

The atmosphere was a bit awkward and tense. After all, it was their first time to visit, and the executives seemed a little embarrassed.

Li Ming once again acted as the middleman, picked up the tea and introduced it pretending to be excited.

"Everyone is lucky. You know what kind of tea this is, Orchid Longjing. You can't find such good tea in the whole country or even in the world. Don't call me bragging. Believe it or not, you will know after brewing it yourself."

The best tea in the world?

There were shocked expressions on the faces of the executives, and most of them were secretly laughing.

Mr. Li did everything he could to flatter Mr. Li. Bei Province Tea was not even ranked among the top five teas in the country, but it dared to be called the best tea in the world.

A few executives are indeed tea drinkers and brew tea with a pinch of salt.

Pour hot water into the cup.

In an instant, the strong fragrance of orchids wafted out of the tea cup and filled the rice field.

All of a sudden, the executives were stunned, sniffing the fragrance of orchids, and suddenly regained consciousness from exhaustion.

In the transparent glass, pieces of fragrant young leaves slowly stretched out and swayed from side to side, floating up and down. Some quickly sank to the bottom of the cup, while others surfaced. The tea soup became bright green in color, and the fragrance wafted out. Fresh and tender.

The executives who made the tea did not bother to burn their mouths and took a sip of the tea soup. The tea soup was fragrant and mellow, and the taste buds had a smooth feeling. It was full of fresh and strong flavor, and the aftertaste was refreshing.

"How is it?" Others asked curiously.

After tasting it, an executive looked deeply disappointed and held the teacup.

"It's fragrant, strong and mellow. I won't be able to drink any other tea in the future."

At this time, all the executives couldn't sit still and picked up their cups one after another.

"I'll make a cup to try too!"

"I'll go first, you guys wait a moment."

"Don't grab it. I'm the oldest. Do you understand that Kong Rong gives up the pear?"

"Go aside, Kong Rong is giving you pears, not tea leaves."

In an instant, the rice field became a mess, but the atmosphere was finally lifted and everyone was not so restrained.

Shangguan Yun did not participate in making tea. Instead, he walked up to Li Hongbing with a keen sense of smell and asked.

"Mr. Li, can this tea be expanded to a larger scale, for example using the formula you mentioned?"

"It can be used. The quality is not as good as the tea I grow. It should be half as good."

Li Hongbing was not sure about this. After all, when planting orchids and Longjing trees, he would use the power of the source to irrigate them every once in a while.

As for the old tea trees in Tea Tree Village, they will definitely not invest too much original energy.

As the saying goes, a person is not good for a thousand days, and a flower is not good for a hundred days. When you are not making money, you are good to me and I am good.

Just like now in Caogou Village, the villagers love me because I bring them benefits. If one day there are no more benefits, there will be a question mark as to whether they still love me.

For all the crop products under Oak Agriculture, Li Hongbing will only provide the source power needed for one year's growth. This is to prevent too much source power from being provided, causing some people to use it for research and development analysis.

Xu Dalang told himself some time ago that Fatty Ma and Hou Sanbu took oak vegetables to the research institute for analysis. Although no results were obtained, Li Hongbing would never let this happen again and prevent it from the source.

Shangguan Yun didn't know the details, but it was good to get half the quality. At least he could grab a certain share of the tea market, so he couldn't wait to see the magical secret recipe from Mr. Li.

"Mr. Li, when will you start preparing the secret recipe?"

"Let's have breakfast first. If you go out before dawn, you must be hungry. Let's start after eating." Li Hongbing smiled and saw Shan Xing walking out of the kitchen out of the corner of his eye.

Shan Xing appeared on the scene, and her elegant and charming appearance immediately made the executives feel that half of the fragrance of Orchid Longjing was missing.

The jealousy towards Li Hongbing increased even more.

Same people are different!

They live in the village, accompanied by a beautiful wife, leading a leisurely and contented country life, and there are also a bunch of hard-working people who work hard to make money.

God is so unfair!

"Brother, the noodles are cooked. It's a cold day. Let everyone eat the warm ones first before we talk." Shan Xing walked to Li Hongbing's side.

Li Hongbing clapped his hands.

"Stop drinking tea and go out to eat first. My wife made handmade noodles. You can serve them in the kitchen yourself. Don't dislike the farm side dishes."

The boss’s wife cooks the food herself, is she so friendly to the people?
Didn't you hire a servant?

The executives were surprised, but still thanked Shan Xing.

Handmade noodles, diced eggplant, bacon, tofu, egg, and some homemade pickles.

As for the taste, you will know the answer just by listening to the slurping and slurping sounds in the rice field. Everyone is smiling after eating.

Had breakfast.

As the sky gradually brightened, the colorful rooster climbed over the wall and walked into the rice field with his head held high, and suddenly froze on the spot.

Lots of Twolegs.

Executives also have their sights set on colorful roosters.

Such a beautiful and majestic big cock is so rare.

Li Hongbing smiled and waved his hand, "You can beat me, but don't worry about us."

The colorful rooster nodded, fluttered its wings and flew to the roof, walked up to the thatch of the main room, stretched its neck to face the first ray of sunlight at dawn.

Oh oh oh! ! !
The sun shines on the colorful rooster, and its feathers shine with colorful luster.

A word came to the minds of the executives at the same time.

air!

With the crow of colorful roosters, as if a switch is turned on, roosters from every household in the small mountain village crow one after another.

The cry breaks the silence and wakes up the sleeping mountain village. Smoke rises from the farmhouse chimney to welcome the new day.
