The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

After having a late-night snack, Bashu Lao, Chen Cai, Lin Tao, Li Yunbo, and Lu Jiming followed Lu Yao back to Wumutang to continue discussing matters related to investing in and developing a large-scale tourist attraction.

Lu Jiming was initially a little confused, but when he saw the detailed plan and scheme they had devised, he realized that this was a project that could make a lot of money.

He also wanted to invest, but unfortunately, his funds were simply not enough.

The man from Sichuan handed the contract to Lu Jiming.

Lu Jiming was taken aback.

Everyone nodded at him.

Lu Yaoming was pleasantly surprised and signed his name and pressed his fingerprint on the contract.

He was well aware that everyone only allowed him to become one of the six major shareholders because of Lu Yao's influence.

That night, everyone slept in Wumutang and did not go home.

The next morning, Li Yunbo took Bashu Lao, Chen Cai, and Lin Tao to breakfast, then went to the township government to discuss the donation for road repairs and to inform the villagers that they would have a meeting that evening at the elementary school playground.

The township government staff had a kind of ecstatic joy, as if money were falling from the sky while they were sitting at home.

Lu Yao and Lu Jiming went to buy lychees.

The twin brothers' milk tea shop was far more popular than Lu Yao and the others had imagined.

In this era of ubiquitous smartphones, it turned into a popular spot for internet celebrities in just three days, attracting people from surrounding towns and villages to drink milk tea and sweet soup and take photos. Many girls came specifically for the twin brothers.

The number of Da Dan Xiao Dan's personal Kuaishou fans has increased several times, with female fans accounting for two-thirds, and these female fans are also the main consumer group of the milk tea shop.

As a large number of people flocked to Longchong Town, the business of surrounding shops also improved. The shop owners who had initially complained changed their attitude completely. They not only stopped complaining, but also provided free tables and chairs in front of their shops for people who came to buy milk tea.

The daily consumption of lychees is astonishing; the lychee supply in Longchong Town simply cannot last long.

Lu Yao and his team began purchasing large quantities of lychees from nearby towns and villages.

Many people, upon learning that the lychees they purchased were intended for the twin brothers' tea shop, took the opportunity to raise prices.

Lu Yao and his group naturally wouldn't indulge them. They could sell if they wanted, or keep it for themselves if they didn't. They advocated free trade.

This year, Guangdong and Guangxi have had a bumper harvest of lychees, but the express delivery fees are too high, so they can't be sold outside the province at all. If you don't sell, there are plenty of people who want to.

Once the trust was established through the first transaction, they would be the first choice for any needs in the future.

Lu Yao wants to earn start-up capital. Once the business grows and he has enough funds, he will not forget those who trust him. He will sign long-term partnership agreements with them and buy their lychees at high prices.

As for those who don't trust me, let them do whatever they want; I won't cooperate with them anyway.

dusk.

Five mu of pond.

Lu Yao and his group returned from buying lychees and sat around on the open ground, drinking beer and chatting.

"It's so comfortable here with Brother Yao. The breeze is cool, even better than staying in an air-conditioned room."

"Definitely, with such a large pond right next to it, it's like a natural air conditioner."

"The machines in the milk tea shop are all smoking from the dryness."

"It's tough on Da Dan and Xiao Dan. Other waiters can take turns working and resting, but they have to sit from opening to closing time and often take photos with fans."

"They're all complaining that they shouldn't have opened the shop if they'd known it would turn out like this. They're exhausted every day, and they even dream about mixing milk tea and sweet soup."

"Blatant boasting."

"Exactly, with so many beautiful women taking photos with them every day, if it were me, I wouldn't complain about being tired even if I worked 24 hours a day."

"You didn't see them taking pictures with the dinosaurs, feeling like they were going to throw up but not daring to, and having to force a smile."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"There are gains and losses; nothing is perfect."

"Brother Yao, is the poached chicken ready?"

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up what? All you do all day is eat poached chicken, why don't you just eat yourself to death?"

"Brother Yao, you're so irritable today, are you on your period?"

"Alright, stop making sarcastic remarks. It's so hot, and Brother Yao has been busy all day making delicious food for us. It's okay if he scolds us a few times."

"Oh my, you're usually the one who curses the most, but you've had a change of heart today."

"His conscience has long since been fed to the dogs, yet he has a change of heart. I asked him to bring me breakfast this morning, but he ate his own fill and then told me he forgot, leaving me hungry all morning. What a scumbag."

"Didn't you used to skip breakfast?"

"I work every day, climbing up and down, and I have no energy if I don't eat. In just a few days, I've already lost several pounds."

"Being thin is okay, but I've gotten so much darker. Oh, my poor, stunningly beautiful face."

"Come in and serve the dishes."

"Finally, I can eat! I'm starving!"

"Brother Yao's cooking is still the best. Brother Yao, I'll be your son from now on, and you can cook for me every day."

"roll!"

……

Everyone was starving after a long day of work, and Lu Yao's cooking was so good that even the broth was licked clean, leaving the plates so shiny you could see your reflection in them. They didn't need to be washed; no one would suspect anything if they were just put in the cupboard.

"The tea's gone cold, what are you writing?"

Lu Jiming asked Lu Yao, who was writing on his phone.

"contract."

Lu Yao finished his tea and then buried himself in writing again.

"What contract?"

Everyone looked at him curiously.

"We sign long-term partnership contracts with the villagers so they can focus on growing lychees, and that will allow us to purchase more and better lychees next year."

Lu Yaodao.

"They acquire them every year, they have no other choice."

"That's what one of the villagers who helped said."

"With the market like this this year, we were able to acquire so many lychees at a very low cost. If the market is booming next year, they won't let us make a profit. People are very pragmatic."

"We can't just eat meat and not even give them the broth, can we?"

"Besides, they trust us so much, so we have to live up to their trust. We should all make money together so that we can make even more money."

Lu Yaodao.

"Brother Yao was truly farsighted."

"I don't understand these things, but I believe in Brother Yao."

"Yes, whatever Brother Yao says goes."

Everyone chimed in.

"Let's go to the school for a meeting."

After typing the last word, Lu Yao turned off his phone and stood up.

Everyone happily went to Maoyuan Primary School together.

Maoyuan Primary School is located at the foot of the mountain between Maobei Village and Maoxi Village. It has a history of seventy years, but the school building was rebuilt ten years ago.

When Lu Yao was in school, there were forty or fifty students in a class. Now, each class has fewer students than the last, and the entire school has less than one hundred students.

Some students went to school in big cities with their parents, while others attended primary school in towns and county seats.

Those attending the meeting tonight are representatives from various organizations, mainly middle-aged and elderly people.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

The township head stood up, signaling everyone to be quiet, and prepared to get to the point.

"This is Mr. Qing Yunfei, the general manager of a branch of Echeng Shuhan Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. He wants to invest in a company in our Maoyuan Township."

"There are many documents to be processed for the investment company, so it won't be approved quickly. Boss Qing needs to donate money to repair the asphalt road in the township first. The compensation standard will be based on the previously established compensation standard. We will notify everyone to go to the township government to collect the compensation later."

Once everyone had quieted down, the township party secretary stood up and spoke.
