Simultaneous Transmigration: What the heck is the kids' channel?
Chapter 24: Can Bears Talk?
"Ha, sorry, Qiang-ge, I can't hold my liquor, it's been too long since we've had a drink together."
Shen Ming woke up, rubbed his eyes, and said apologetically to Bald Qiang next to him.
When Bald Qiang saw Shen Ming wake up, he waved his hand and teased, "Xiao Ming, you're still the same as before. But speaking of alcohol, drinking too much isn't good either, but it's still better than smoking. That stuff is really hard to quit. Do you remember our elementary school classmate, Zhang Ergou? I heard he was a heavy smoker."
Is it Zhang Ergou?
It seems there is such a person.
"I remember now, my mom told me he smokes three packs a day now! Didn't we used to put firecrackers in his cigarettes? He was so scared he peed his pants, hahaha."
"Yeah, yeah, that kid doesn't even look at himself while he smokes, he deserves it."
When Bald Qiang recalled this incident, he burst into laughter, grabbed the remaining half-bottle of wine on the table, and downed it in a very bold manner.
The two chatted for a while longer before Bald Qiang finally got down to business:
"Xiaoming, now that you're here, why don't you come work for me? My performance targets plus the base salary are pretty good. If we work together, we'll definitely be living the high life! We won't have to worry about that stinky bear anymore!"
Performance targets met?
The salary is quite high?
Don't be afraid of the smelly bear?
Shen Ming shook his head upon hearing this.
"Xiaoming, next I'll show you around the area and introduce you to the work."
Bald Qiang was a little embarrassed. Who asks someone to work on the very first day? But there was no other way; the quota for one person had been increased to two!
This is all Li Mahua's fault!
He really had no other choice.
Xiaoming will definitely understand, right?
After that drinking session, Bald Qiang knew that his childhood friend was the same as before; otherwise, he would have been more polite.
That's how friendships between men are; a few drinks and a chat about the past, and the relationship quickly returns to how it was back then.
Shen Ming raised an eyebrow: "Cutting down trees?"
"That's right, it's cutting down trees. If it weren't for the fact that Chinese New Year is only a few months away, I would have quit Li Mahua a long time ago! The pay is low and the work is too much!"
The mere mention of cutting down trees makes Bald Qiang furious, not because he dislikes the job—after all, he learned to cut down trees from his father since he was a child, and even won the lumberjack competition.
just.
It's all that Boss Li's fault. Now, just thinking about that flyer on the utility pole that made such a big promise makes me furious. By the time I realized what was going on, it was too late. People need to eat, and the tree still needs to be cut down!
"What else is there to say? Let's go. We were bound to do this sooner or later anyway."
Shen Ming waved his hand, not caring. He also wanted to see the picturesque Bear Ridge. Come to think of it, there was only one small wooden cabin belonging to Brother Qiang in this desolate wilderness.
Does he still have his chainsaw?
Are you sure you won't make him use an axe?
Five times the weight to chop down a tree with an axe? Are you kidding me?
It should be quite easy to chop it up, right?
"Alright! Qiang will take you to the warehouse to get the chainsaw! This time, if we team up, we're sure to make a fortune this month! Then our good days will begin, hahaha!"
"Do you still have chainsaws?"
"What are you talking about? Do you think Brother Qiang would let you chop down trees with an axe?" Bald Qiang's expression turned strange. It wasn't that he couldn't, but the trees in Bear Ridge were exceptionally large, and chopping them down with an axe would take forever!
Furthermore, how could a modern lumberjack not have a chainsaw? Even if he didn't, he could find the parts and make one himself!
"Who uses an axe when there's a chainsaw! Brother Qiang, what are you saying? Let's go get the tools!"
"Come with me, come with me."
With a firm resolve, Bald Qiang opened the door and strode towards the warehouse next door.
The front yard was full of potholes, with several old tires and some miscellaneous items lying around.
Following Bald Qiang to the warehouse door, the other party kicked the door open, and Shen Ming followed him inside. The space inside was quite large, filled with various tools, and several chainsaws were hanging on the wall, gleaming!
Here it is! A brand new chainsaw!
"I think you should use this one," Bald Qiang glanced at the chainsaws in front of him, his eyes locking onto one of them, and handed it to Shen Ming.
Taking the chainsaw, Shen Ming weighed it a few times and found it wasn't as heavy as he had expected. Moreover, the blade of the chainsaw gleamed with a strange, cold light that was exceptionally dazzling!
With a gentle pull, the saw could easily chop down a large tree. Shen Ming had seen this along the way, and the trees in Bear Ridge were no ordinary trees!
There are even various precious woods and beautiful pine trees, but Brother Qiang only cut down three trees in his entire life.
Speaking of which...
The home of the two bears is that tree hole. If you cut it down, you'd make a fortune. But that's definitely impossible. Not to mention the tools, those two bears would be a huge problem.
"We have all the tools, and here's a helmet for you. Let's set off now."
"My dad taught you how to cut down trees back then, you shouldn't have forgotten, right? If not, I'll teach you again later, it's very simple."
When he was little, Shen Ming and his dad used to play around with each other. He probably still remembers those few moves from a young age. Even if he did forget, his dad could teach him on the spot. They're very simple and not difficult. All he needs to do is watch out for those mischievous bears.
When I was a child, I never imagined that I would end up working as a lumberjack in another place.
They were also exploited by an unscrupulous boss!
That wretched Li Mahua, one day Brother Qiang will make you chop down trees every day and then be chased by those two stinky bears!
"Alright, Qiang. I've been running around all these years and have almost forgotten everything, but with you as the lumberjack champion, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Haha, it's nothing special. Want to see my trophy? I'll show it to you after work."
When the title of Lumberjack Competition champion was mentioned, Bald Qiang couldn't hide his pride; it was his honor!
Walking up to the forklift, Shen Ming glanced at it and sure enough, there was an Optimus Prime logo. The license plate was really something else!
What does "TMD250SB" mean?
They're treating him like a fool!
"What? Xiaoming, you're interested in forklifts? I can teach you how to drive one sometime, it's pretty simple. But we need to go cut down trees now."
Bald Qiang drove his pickup truck over and saw Shen staring at his forklift. He assumed the other man was interested in driving a forklift, which was understandable since they were both men.
"Sure," Shen Ming readily agreed, then opened the pickup truck door and sat in the passenger seat. His eyes widened suddenly as he saw several green bottles. "These must be beer," he thought.
He paused, looked out the window, and casually asked, resting his chin on his hand:
"Brother Qiang, do you drink wheat juice to stay awake when you're driving?"
Upon hearing this, Bald Qiang immediately understood, picked up a bottle, and handed it over generously, saying:
"Xiaoming, would you like some too? Don't be shy, I have plenty at home. I just take a sip when I'm feeling sleepy while driving."
"You know what, this bite is actually quite satisfying!"
Good heavens, are you kidding me?
Is it safe to drink this while driving?
Suddenly, Shen Ming remembered that the person next to him was Brother Qiang, and then he felt that it wasn't a big deal.
When Brother Qiang saw the tiger back then, his first reaction wasn't fear or being stunned, but rather the thought of getting rich?
That's so passionate!
"No need, I can't hold my liquor well, I haven't recovered from what I drank yet."
Seeing that Shen Ming refused, Bald Qiang did not insist on turning the key to start the car and drove in another direction.
"By the way, Qiang-ge, I've always had a question: why don't you cut down the trees around your house? Why do you deliberately take a longer route? It's like you're intentionally avoiding something?"
"Of course there's a reason for that," Bald Qiang sighed softly.
"Rabbits don't eat the grass near their burrows, and in this kind of environment, if a mudslide or something happens to the cabin, without trees to stop it, it's basically doomed. And if some extreme situation occurs, these trees in front of the door can be cut down and used as firewood!"
"Besides, you're right, I am indeed deliberately avoiding certain things." Bald Qiang lowered his voice. It seemed a little unbelievable that the bear was talking.
He hesitated for a moment, but since Xiaoming would have to greet these indigenous people sooner or later anyway, he might as well just say it directly this time.
"Hey Xiaoming, do you believe bears can talk?"
Looking back now, it seems a bit unbelievable that bears can talk, and the fact that these bears protect the environment? That's even more interesting.
Loggers and bears that protect the environment are natural adversaries!
But Brother Qiang is no pushover either!
He was confident he could protect Shen Ming!
