Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 358 The little rascal with his arms bent outward
When Liu Qingsong returned home, he just saw Liu Chunhua, Li Fenfen, Li Bayi, Xiao Nuomi and other children coming back after selling locusts.

But they came back, drank some water and planned to go out to catch locusts again. Li Bayi even carried a hunting rifle.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong stretched out his hand to stop him: "Uncle, I just came back from the city. All the major drugstores and supply and marketing cooperatives are no longer buying grasshoppers. If you listen to me, don't catch them anymore. You can't sell them even if you catch them."

Liu Qingsong would definitely not say this if it was anyone else, but Li Bayi, Li Fenfen, and Liu Chunhua are not "other people", but his relatives, so after careful consideration, he decided to say it out loud.

After all, if you don't tell them, they will go catching grasshoppers happily, but they will definitely come back disappointed.

"Is it true?" Li Bayi was a little surprised.

"Why do they suddenly stop accepting it?" Li Fenfen was also a little confused.

"Yes! When we went to the drugstore to sell grasshoppers before, the boss said he would buy as many as we could!" Liu Chunhua followed.

If we really stop charging them, then we will lose the one or two hundred yuan income a day. It makes me sad just thinking about it.

"I can't tell you the reason for not accepting them for now. If you believe me, then don't catch grasshoppers anymore. If you catch them and can't sell them, don't blame me for not reminding you." Liu Qingsong replied softly.

"Okay!" Li Bayi smiled awkwardly, looked at Li Fenfen, put down his shotgun, and went into the tent with the children to rest.

After a while, Li Bayi began to snore.

The reason why he fell asleep so quickly was obviously because he was tired from catching grasshoppers these days.

Liu Qingsong shook his head as he watched this scene, but he didn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he went to the kitchen to do his own thing.

……

The news that Dayu City officials and major drugstores refused to accept locusts spread quickly, but no one who caught locusts went to the drugstores or to Dayu City officials to make trouble.

The reason for this is that it is obvious that they have made a lot of money in the past few days, and they are also well aware that such a high price of locusts cannot be maintained for a long time.

If this continues for a long time, it will be almost hell for them.

But some people don't think so, such as foreign investors and vendors who are rushing to buy locusts.

When they received the confirmed news that the Dayu City government and major drugstores would not accept locusts, they immediately felt like the sky was falling.

After all, they were still thinking about making a fortune from it! Now that the officials and pharmacies in Dayu City suddenly announced that they would not accept locusts, the locusts they had spent so much money to buy before would be a waste of money.

This result was unacceptable to them, so after a brief silence, they all spontaneously gathered in the official office building of Dayu City to seek an explanation.

As for the major drugstores, no one went there.

It’s not that they don’t want to, but everyone knows that as long as they get an official explanation from Greater God, all problems will be solved.

But unfortunately, before issuing the notice, the Dayu City officials had already thought of their excuses and made corresponding preparations.

When the foreign investment representatives and vendors had gathered, they immediately took out a regulation on combating speculation and posted it on the door.

The officials from Dayu City did not say anything. They just stood aside and watched quietly the thousands of vendors and foreign investment representatives at the gate.

The vendors and foreign investment representatives were all very confused at first, but after seeing the regulations on speculation on the gate, they all panicked. The smart ones ran away faster than rabbits.

The reason for this is that it is obvious that they had previously purchased locusts at high prices and hoarded them, which was already a real speculation.

Under such circumstances, the Dayu City officials did not cause them any trouble, but they still wanted to seek justice from the Dayu City officials. Isn't this courting death?
and so--

Running is their only option.

As for the losses from buying locusts, of course you have to swallow it. After all, compared to going to jail and losing some money, even a fool would know to choose the latter.

The troublemakers at the official gate of Dayu City fled.

This means that the game of passing the flower is completely over.

No, it should be said that the locust plague and the game of passing the parcel in Dayu City have completely ended.

Zhao Tianxiang, who was far away in Hong Kong Island, heard the news and gnashed his teeth in anger: "How could this happen? Didn't they say that these locusts can be used to extract medicine for immortality? Why did the Dayu City government suddenly stop accepting them?"

If he doesn't accept it, who will he sell it to after he and the Qin and Yamada families have hoarded so many of them at high prices?

"Uncle, maybe... maybe..." The tall young man on the side hesitated to speak.

"What's possible?" Zhao Tianxiang asked.

"Maybe we snatched too many locusts, and the officials of Dayu City noticed something was wrong, so..."

The tall young man was interrupted by Zhao Tianxiang before he finished speaking: "You are talking nonsense. Is this a big deal? If locusts can really extract the medicine needed for immortality, I tell you, Dayu City can't do this at all."

"You mean..." The tall young man hesitated.

"We've been fooled by the Ye family and Liu Qingsong, Jiang Chuyang, and Nie Bingquan. Locusts can't be used to produce any medicine for immortality. This is simply a scam." Zhao Tianxiang replied in a low voice.

Because of anger.

The murderous intent in his eyes seemed to materialize.

This frightened the tall young man so much that he stepped back repeatedly: "Uncle, what should we do now? How do we explain this to the Qin family and the Yamada family?"

"How do I know how to explain? I was cheated of so much money, and I did it willingly. If this gets out, then our Zhao family..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a young girl who pushed the door open and walked in: "Dad, Qin Haoran and Yamada Keiichi are here. They want to discuss something very important with you."

"Is it about the locusts?" Zhao Tianxiang asked.

"Yeah." The young girl nodded: "They also brought an old man with them. I heard he is from the Rockefeller family."

"Oh? Why did they bring people from the Rockefeller family?" Zhao Tianxiang frowned in confusion.

The tall young man next to him was also a little confused.

Members of the Rockefeller family are either rich or noble, so how could they be together with Qin Haoran and Yamada Keiichi?

"I don't know the details, you should go and see it yourself!" replied the young girl.

"Okay!" Zhou Zhao Tianxiang nodded and walked quickly towards the reception room with the tall young man.

He didn't want to go at first, but when he thought about how he couldn't avoid it, he decided to go.

……

Luxurious reception room, seat by the window.

The skinny Qin Haoran was chatting and laughing with a foreign old man with gray hair, while Yamada Keiichi was sitting beside him drinking tea and occasionally interjecting a word or two.

Then he saw Zhao Tianxiang coming.

Yamada Keiichi stood up to greet him, then pulled him to the corner and said, "This old man is Cade from the Rockefeller family. He came here today to buy the locusts from us at a high price."

"What did you say?" Zhao Tianxiang's eyes widened: "Is his brain not burned out? Doesn't he know..."

"Hush... It's because we don't know the inside story that we can trick him!" Yamada Keiichi explained in a low voice, "Otherwise, we would have millions of locusts in our hands."

"When we sell it to Cade, we can not only get our money back, but also make a lot of money. Don't you want to do such a deal?"

"But the problem is that behind Cade is the Rockefeller family. Do you know the Rockefeller family?" Zhao Tianxiang couldn't help but remind.

Anyway, he can't afford to provoke him and doesn't want to provoke him.

"Of course I know. If you don't want to do this, then I will sell all the locusts in my hand and the locusts in Qin Haoran's hand to Cade. As for yours, you figure it out yourself." After saying this, Keiichi Yamada turned around and walked towards Cade.

After thinking about it, Zhao Tianxiang gritted his teeth and followed behind.

……

Three days later, all the locusts purchased by major drugstores in Dayu City and those purchased by foreign capital were loaded onto trains and shipped away.

Tao Yu was shocked when he received the news. After all, in his opinion, these locusts should be thrown away and destroyed by foreign representatives.

And now they have all been shipped away, which is really unbelievable.

In order to avoid an uncontrollable situation, Tao Yu thought about it and hurriedly took a jeep to the Huaishu production team and told Liu Qingsong about this strange scene.

Liu Qingsong was cleaning the temporary kitchen at this time. After understanding Tao Yu's purpose, he couldn't help but frowned: "The locusts were transported to other places by train. This can only mean one thing."

"That is, these locusts may be of great use to these foreign investment representatives."

"So what should we do now?" Tao Yu asked.

I don’t know why, but if I don’t do anything, I always feel like I’ll lose something.

"What else can we do? Of course we should send someone to investigate, but we must not alert the enemy." Liu Qingsong pondered and said what he was thinking: "I suspect that this is a trap that the Zhao family has dug for us using locusts. We can't jump into it."

"After all, we screwed them over badly before." "That's true." Tao Yu nodded: "Then I'll send someone to investigate. I'll notify you as soon as there's any news."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded and sent Tao Yu out of the temporary kitchen.

At this moment, the little naughty came running over with his short legs: "Brother, brother...Grandpa Jiang asked me to ask you if there are any watermelons in your house?"

"Why...Grandpa Jiang wants to eat?" Liu Qingsong asked with a smile.

"Yeah, Grandpa Jiang told me to bring it over if there's any." The little rascal nodded in response.

"The watermelons are long gone, but you can pick some in the vegetable garden," Liu Qingsong replied.

"Let's go!" The little rascal took Liu Qingsong's big hand and skipped towards the vegetable garden.

As for Tao Yu, she simply ignored him.

This made Tao Yu somewhat unbearable: "Little rascal, didn't you see me?"

"I see." The little rascal turned around and smiled.

"Then why didn't you say hello to me?" Tao Yu asked.

"Dad is so busy, wouldn't it be a waste of your time if I say hello?" the little rascal asked back.

"I...I..." Tao Yu was speechless and felt a little guilty.

After all, he was so busy that he had very little time to spend with the little rascal, otherwise, the little rascal would never have said such words.

Seeing this, Liu Qingsong gave Tao Yu a way out: "You shouldn't be in a hurry to leave now, right? How about this, come with me to the vegetable garden to pick some watermelons, and then take two back to eat."

"The question is, are there really watermelons in your vegetable garden?" Tao Yu asked.

"There should be." Liu Qingsong replied.

"Let's go!" Tao Yu reached out and picked up Xiao Tao, then walked towards the vegetable garden with Liu Qingsong.

The vegetable garden was now full of watermelon vines and cantaloupe vines, and there was not even a path left.

And among the vines, there are many big watermelons hiding, and there are too many cantaloupes to count.

Tao Yu's eyes widened as he watched this scene: "Oh my God! So many watermelons and cantaloupes, if we sell them, they will be worth a lot of money!"

"I won't sell it. I planted it to feed Xiao Nuomi and Xiao Taoqi." Liu Qingsong replied softly, then squatted down to check the watermelons.

"Did you hear that? These watermelons are grown by my brother for me to eat. Unlike dad, he always comes empty-handed and doesn't bring me anything delicious." The naughty little boy couldn't help but say something.

Tao Yu: “…”

Liu Qingsong smiled. Seeing that the big watermelon in his hand was ripe, he picked it and handed it to Tao Yu: "This watermelon is good. Take it."

"Okay! Okay!" Tao Yu quickly took it and held it in his hands.

"How about I pick a few more melons for you to take back?" Liu Qingsong suggested.

Anyway, there are still a lot of them in the vegetable garden, and he also planted a lot in other dry fields.

"Okay! I'll call the driver to get it." Tao Yu happily left with the watermelon in his arms.

After a while, he called the driver, brought a sack, and put the watermelons and cantaloupes selected by Liu Qingsong into it.

Seeing that Tao Yu only picked the big watermelons, Little Naughty was unhappy: "Dad, you picked all the big watermelons, what are Xiao Nuomi and I going to eat?"

"Aren't there so many in the vegetable garden?" Tao Yu smiled.

"Hmph! Those are all small ones." The little rascal got angry.

"Silly girl, you are just small and haven't grown up yet. You will be very big when you grow up." Liu Qingsong reminded her sarcastically.

"Really?" The little rascal didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true." Tao Yu confirmed. In order to prevent Xiao Taoqi from causing trouble for him next time, he immediately said to Liu Qingsong, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You and Xiao Taoqi can pick the fruits slowly."

"Okay!" Liu Qingsong nodded.

"Dad, you'd better not come to my brother's house next time." The naughty boy couldn't help but say.

"Why?" Tao Yu was puzzled.

"Because every time you come to your brother's house you eat and take things." The naughty boy replied.

Tao Yu: “…”

driver:"……"

This little rascal, why do his little elbows turn outward like this?
“Hahaha…” Liu Qingsong was amused. “Little rascal, don’t talk about your father like that. If he really doesn’t come to see you next time, you’ll be in trouble.”

"I'm not afraid of trouble. I have a brother, so I won't starve to death." The little rascal replied, then walked with his short legs to find Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei, Wang Ba and others to come and move the watermelon.

Tao Yu sighed as he watched the naughty boy walking away.

But in the end he said nothing, just said hello to Liu Qingsong and left.

……

at dusk.

After Liu Qingsong came back carrying a hoe, he was about to go to the kitchen to cook dinner, but Old Jiang called him: "Qingsong, do you have time now?"

"Yes!" Liu Qingsong went forward to greet him.

"If you have any, come with me." Old Jiang took Liu Qingsong into the temporary tent nearby.

Inside the tent, Nie Bingquan was tidying up the various medical books on the desk. Seeing Liu Qingsong coming in, he smiled and said, "Qingsong, I'm leaving soon. Can you let me take the ancient medical book in your grandfather Jiang's hand and check it out?"

"No...why would you leave for no reason?" Liu Qingsong was puzzled.

"Because I need to treat a very important patient." Nie Bingquan sighed.

As for what kind of patient it was, he did not elaborate.

Liu Qingsong did not ask any more questions: "The ancient medical book in Grandpa Jiang's hand is just waste paper to me. It is of no use at all. So you don't need to tell me if you want to take it away for reference. You just need Grandpa Jiang's consent."

"Really?" Nie Bingquan became excited.

"Really." Liu Qingsong confirmed.

"Then..." Nie Bingquan looked at Old Jiang hesitantly.

"Why are you looking at me? Qingsong has already said so. You can take any ancient medical books you want to check. But I have to remind you that it is best to ask someone to make a few copies when you go back. If these ancient medical books are lost, you will never have them again." Old Jiang reminded.

"I know, I know." Nie Bingquan nodded, then walked to the bookshelf and began to pack the ancient medical books.

Old Jiang followed behind and helped.

Just when it was almost healed.

Ye Qingmei hurriedly opened the tent curtain and walked in: "Grandpa Jiang, the latest news is that those foreign representatives bought the locusts at a high price and shipped them all to Hong Kong Island."

"Oh?" Old Jiang looked at Ye Qingmei.

Liu Qingsong and Nie Bingquan were also somewhat confused.

What on earth did they want to do by shipping all the locusts to Hong Kong Island?
"There is another piece of news that is uncertain. All these locusts were bought by the Rockefeller family, and the price was more than twice the purchase price paid by the foreign investment representatives." Ye Qingmei added.

"What did you say?" Boss Jiang was surprised.

Liu Qingsong and Nie Bingquan were also surprised.

How did this locust game of passing the parcel passed around and ended up being played by the Rockefeller family?
The Rockefeller family is not simple. There is a big financial group behind them. If this really angers the Rockefeller family, I am afraid that no one will suffer well.

"I say..." Ye Qingmei repeated what she had just said, and then continued: "In the current situation, we have no choice but to confront the Rockefeller family with the game of passing the parcel and let them reduce their losses, otherwise..."

The words are not finished yet.

Liu Qingsong interrupted him: "No! Don't do this, otherwise we will definitely offend the Rockefeller family completely."

"Then what do you think we should do next?" Ye Qingmei asked.

Old Jiang and Nie Bingquan also looked at Liu Qingsong.
