The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

Lu Lide and his wife Wang Xiurong arrived at Wumutang, where Lu Yao was also stir-frying the last of the green vegetables.

"Derberth, you two seem so happy, did you find some money on the street?"

The madman was setting out the dishes and serving the food when he saw the couple walk in with smiles on their faces, clearly in a good mood.

"Finding money on the street these days is as difficult as finding gold."

Lu Lide said.

"From now on, I'll be your son's driver, earning a million a month. I'll be responsible for taking you on trips every day, letting you eat and drink the finest food."

The Madman's Way.

"Give me a million a month, and I'll do anything for you, not just be your driver, but wash your feet every day."

Lu Yao brought in a bowl of green vegetables.

"Have a meal."

The old man said.

"Two drinks, please?"

The madman asked the three members of the family, grandfather, grandson, and aunt.

"I won't drink at noon; I'll buy some baijiu (Chinese liquor) this afternoon to make medicinal wine."

Lu Yaodao.

The madman then stopped talking.

After having a full meal, everyone drank tea for half an hour before going to take a nap.

After waking up from his afternoon nap, Lu Yao and Dianzi went to town to buy liquor.

One of my classmates has a family that makes wine for generations. They're quite famous in town and even have a wine shop that does good business.

Lu Yao bought fifty jin of pure grain liquor, with alcohol content of 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, and 70 degrees respectively.

Older varieties are more expensive, with some costing two or three hundred yuan per kilogram.

I also bought rice wine of different alcohol strengths for my usual drinking.

The madman also bought dozens of kilograms of rice wine and twenty kilograms of pure grain liquor.

Back at Wumutang, Lu Yao put away the liquor he had bought and went to find his grandparents to ask them which family owned the fields on both sides of the valley below the Wumutang Waterfall.

When the old man heard that his grandson wanted to rent those abandoned fields, he decided to go with his grandson to talk to people about renting the fields.

Since the old man was willing to act as guarantor, Lu Yao was naturally happy to agree.

After dinner, the grandmother and grandson went out.

Lu Yao first went to renew the lease of the land he had already rented for another twenty years.

Twenty years is generally the longest period they can rent land, which is equivalent to one generation.

Those who lent their land to the family for farming without charging rent also signed new 20-year leases, with rent calculated every year.

The reason for doing this is to prevent people from becoming envious after seeing him make money and causing him all sorts of trouble.

Once the lease agreement is signed and the rent is paid in full to them, there's no need to worry about them causing trouble.

A small portion of the barren fields on both sides of the valley belong to Maotian Village, and the rent was included in the calculation when the fields were rented and ponds were dug. The majority of the rest belong to the people of Maodong Village.

To put it bluntly, due to the influence of their geographical environment, most rural people lack foresight and only focus on immediate interests.

The barren land, which had been completely useless, suddenly found someone willing to rent it, and at a good price. It was like a windfall, and people were overjoyed, so there was no reason for them to refuse.

In addition, given the prestige of the grandfather and grandson in Maoyuan Township, people would almost always agree to their requests as soon as they opened their mouths, signing their names and pressing their fingerprints without even looking at the contract.

Lu Yao didn't intend to cheat anyone; the contract was simple and clear, and easy to understand at a glance.

If he really wants to cheat someone, reading the contract is pointless because you won't understand it at all.

After everything was settled, Lu Yao sent the old man home and then went to the madman's house.

Lu Chong, Lu Ligen, and others were drinking tea and chatting.

The madman is taking a bath.

Naturally, everyone started asking about the car purchase again.

Lu Yao gave a perfunctory response.

After the madman finished taking a bath, the three of them went to Lu Yang's house.

"Your nephew bought a car, aren't you going to treat us to ice cream?"

The madman started yelling at Lu Qiulan as soon as he entered the door.

You didn't even buy me ice cream when you bought the car.

Lu Qiulan said.

"You're stingy, fine, but why are you making such a loud noise?"

The madman held the baby, who was watching "Boonie Bears," on his lap.

"Brother Wu, please have some dragon fruit."

Zeng Huimin placed a plate of dragon fruit on the coffee table.

"Where is my second aunt's husband?"

Lu Yao asked.

"bath."

Lu Yang poured out the tea leaves and replaced them with fresh ones.

"How much does the car cost?"

Lu Qiulan asked her nephew happily.

"There are only a handful of luxury cars worth 350,000 yuan in the entire Maoyuan Township."

Before Lu Yao could say anything, Lu Chong interrupted.

"My college classmate's family owns a 4S store. The car I liked happened to be on sale, and he paid for part of the money upfront. I can pay the rest back slowly, so I bought it."

Lu Yao glanced at Lu Yang.

His second aunt was definitely happy for him to buy a car, but Lu Liquan and his son Lu Yang would be tired of hearing about it for the next few days.

"Brother Yao, let's all come out for a drink."

Lu Shaolong called out from outside the window.

"Don't drink tea or alcohol."

Lu Chongdao.

"The tea leaves were just put in; drink two infusions before you go."

Lu Yang said.

"You guys drink, I'll go first."

Lu Chong walked out.

The three of them drank three cups of tea and were about to go for drinks when Lu Liquan came out of the shower.

"Uncle-in-law, let's go have a couple of drinks together."

Lu Yaodao.

Lu Liquan nodded knowingly.

"Boss, bring out another table and a few more chairs, and three more jugs of wine as well."

When Lu Yao and the others came over, Lü Shaolong went to the refrigerator and took out a bag of chicken feet and chicken wings.

"Brother Yao, the car's back, can I borrow it for a spin?"

Lu Jian put the two tables together.

"Let me take a detour too. I'm easily satisfied; I'll start here, go to the capital, and come back."

"You might as well just go around the world."

Others also joined in the commotion.

If someone else buys a luxury car worth over 300,000 yuan, they might feel envious, jealous, or resentful.

This person is Lu Yao, and they can only envy him.

Lu Yao's excellence has been deeply ingrained in their minds since childhood, and it is only natural that he can make more money than them.

Lu Yao never looked down on them. If they needed his help, he would never refuse, as long as it was within his power.

"Sure, as long as you bring back a girlfriend."

Lu Yao poured a glass of wine for Lu Liquan, then poured one for Lu Chong and himself, and casually tossed the empty can under the table.

Lu Jian immediately looked miserable.

Lu Yao's girlfriend wasn't just any random woman he was looking for; it was a relationship with marriage in mind.

"Your dad?"

Lu Yao asked Lu Feng.

"Have tea at my house."

"Lu Shaolong said."

Lu Jijun was having tea at Lü Yimin's house and didn't return until 10:30.

Lu Chong pulled him over for a drink.

Because Lu Chong and the others had to go to work the next day, everyone parted ways at midnight.

"Go to sleep, I'll pay."

Lu Yao said to Lü Shaolong, who was about to pay.

"Since I'm treating, I'll naturally pay."

Lu Shaolong insisted on paying.

"Treat us when you get your salary."

Lu Yao forwarded the money directly to the boss.

"Okay, then you can't take it from me anymore."

Lu Shaolong said, and then went with Lu Jian to Lu Feng's house to sleep.

These three guys often slept together so they could get up on time for work the next morning.

They both assumed the other would wake them up, so they turned off the alarm and went back to sleep.

As a result, no one got up on time. Lu Chong had to urge them relentlessly before they finally got up. They bought something on the way to eat to fill their stomachs and then went to work.

Lu Yao returned to Wumutang and began making medicinal wine.

He took out five bottles, each with a capacity of twenty jin, and soaked ten jin of medicinal wine in each bottle.

Lingzhi wine. Nourishes Qi and calms the mind.

Goji berry and Ganoderma lucidum wine. Boosts immunity and improves sleep.

Honey and Ganoderma lucidum wine. For beauty and skin care, removing blemishes and whitening the skin.

Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum wine. It replenishes qi and kidneys, warms the meridians and promotes blood circulation.

Scutellaria baicalensis and Ganoderma lucidum wine. Clears heat and detoxifies; treats vitiligo.

And they can all improve men's physical fitness.
