1oo29 New Urban Farmers Chapter Seventy-Six: Arriving in Qingyang and Xiaozhulou
It's impossible to find a meat spirit in the well, so everyone ran in vain and only got six pieces. But that didn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm for treasure hunting. Before the reinforcements from Qingyang arrived, everyone had a great time.
However, many people looked at Zhang Guodong with envy, jealousy, and resentment in their eyes, each with their own interpretation. But regardless, now that Zhang Guodong knew this was the famous Tai Sui, the fleshy Lingzhi, he naturally wouldn't part with even a single bit of it.
Around 5 p.m., the relief convoy from Qingyang finally arrived.
The team was led by a deputy director of the county public security bureau, along with several vans and police cars. This level of support is quite high! Although Li Hongbo's position is different, he doesn't have much real power. At the administrative level, even a deputy director of the county public security bureau has far more power than him.
Zhang Guodong looked at the dark-faced deputy director. He even maliciously thought that this was probably only because there was a CCTV reporter in the inspection team. Otherwise, what difference would people make who you are just because you're the vice president of an association without an official order from your superiors?
As expected, the Qingyang police officer was much more enthusiastic towards Bai Jiawei and her two colleagues.
The media is generally a special entity; even provincial and municipal officials have to give face to reporters from regular newspapers and magazines, and try not to offend them. How much more so for CCTV reporters?
Li Ningguang, Zhang Guodong, and the other four were also assigned a minivan. This finally solved their car-less problem. Finally, everyone picked up their luggage, walked across the pile of earth and rocks, and boarded the vehicle from Qingyang. Meanwhile, the driver, Lao Lin, returned to the provincial capital along the same route.
Around 8 p.m., the convoy finally arrived in Qingyang County.
The lights in the night finally brought a sigh of relief to everyone; they had arrived in Qingyang County and would no longer have to suffer from the cold and hunger.
Then the deputy director in charge of the team arranged for the inspection group to stay at the county bureau's guesthouse. Zhang Guodong and Li Ningguang's group were not included in the reception, so they naturally took the opportunity to say goodbye. It would be foolish not to leave at this point. Staying with the inspection group felt awkward no matter what.
Seeing the five leave without looking back, Bai Jiawei grew anxious and wanted to stop them, but how could she bring herself to do so? The county bureau had already treated them quite well. Li Ningguang and his group, however, were private individuals; how could they possibly receive the same treatment?
Li Hongbo's eyes flickered, and he smiled reassuringly at the reporter, "No rush, we can send someone to follow him. I think this Mr. Li's intentions are not simple."
track?
This is illegal, but Li Hongbo's reasons are high-sounding: "Combating the illegal harvesting of precious wild plants and the killing of nationally protected animals has always been very difficult. Sometimes we have to use some underhanded methods, otherwise it is difficult to achieve results."
Bai Jiawei nodded. She was still a little worried, since the matter hadn't been handled very well. But the other party meant well, wanting their interview to go smoothly.
Qingyang Street.
Li Ningguang, Zhang Guodong, and their group of five, all carrying large travel bags, were clearly from out of town. One of the few taxis immediately pulled up: "Where are you all going? I know Qingyang very well; I guarantee a fast and reliable ride!"
At this moment, Liu Dewang's face hardened, and he adopted a somewhat servile demeanor: "To the small bamboo house. And another taxi!"
The little bamboo house in my heart is a place where the Party Secretary and County Head go!
The taxi driver immediately understood and smiled; this guy was a local from Qingyang. Only prominent figures and taxi drivers in Qingyang knew about Xiaozhulou.
What is Xiaozhulou?
That's a high-end rural restaurant serving country-style dishes plus some wild game feasts. Qingyang is close to the mountains, so wild game is often available. For example, wild rabbits and pheasants are quite common.
In addition, the small bamboo building, as the name suggests, is a beautiful building constructed of bamboo, making dining there a unique experience. Behind it is a hot spring accommodation area where young, beautiful girls around 18 or 19 years old can accompany you overnight.
Of course, outsiders who don't understand the ins and outs of this service wouldn't know about it.
Moreover, the price for overnight companionship is very high. Without money, you simply cannot enter this hidden den of iniquity, or without a certain status, you cannot enjoy the full-hearted service of these beautiful young women.
The two taxi drivers diligently tied the items to the roof of their cars and then sped off towards the small bamboo house.
There were relatively few customers at the small bamboo house today, so the proprietress, Sister Hong, took a rare bath. She pinched her bulging breasts for a while and masturbated in the bathtub until she reached her clitoris.
The guests who come here are all rich and powerful, at least for people from small towns.
But don't assume these people are of high moral character. They're willing to pay, but once they're "drunk," they become quite unruly. The girls' breasts and buttocks are frequently groped, and even the proprietress herself is sometimes harassed by some customers, leaving her feeling aroused.
To be honest, Sister Hong isn't that old; she's only thirty-four or thirty-five. With a little dressing up, she could easily pass for a young married woman in her twenties. Unlike a fresh-faced girl in her early teens, a mature young woman understands more about beauty and charm.
"Sister Hong has a guest!" At that moment, a slender young woman entered the room and called out towards the bathroom.
The landlady, who never locked the door, preferred to masturbate until she was aroused rather than sleep with a young gigolo or a customer she found attractive. This surprised the other girls. Normally, relationships between men and women are just like that—lying down, legs spread, waiting to be entered. After a few thrusts, everyone feels good—it's simple, convenient, and wonderful.
Of course, this is under the premise of a limited number of attempts.
"Who's here? Please entertain them. I'll be right out." A lazy, slightly panting voice came from the bathroom. Sister Hong had just finished her business and was lying naked in the bathtub, completely exhausted.
The slender young woman responded and went out.
Xiaozhulou is a rather remote place. It took the taxi half an hour to get there from the county bureau's guesthouse. It used to be a converted farmhouse, but Xiaozhulou has leased and is now operating it.
In the darkness, the red lantern on the flagpole outside the courtyard can illuminate a great distance.
A two-story bamboo house came into view. It was seven or eight meters high, and lights could be seen shining from inside. But it was impossible to tell whether there were any guests inside at the moment.
"When Ji Zhulou Ma Bu opened the door, four young women with curvaceous figures, wearing thin cheongsams and sporting hot figures, came out to greet the guests. However, not a single man was seen."
However, anyone familiar with this kind of business environment knows that a place like Xiaozhulou wouldn't be able to operate without security. They just don't usually allow people to come out. Otherwise, if someone caused trouble in the wilderness, how could these delicate, pretty girls possibly hold out?
"Tsk tsk, Ning Guang got off the car. Liu Dewang led the way, scanning the four girls. Zhang Guodong and Lao Qing followed behind, and after hearing this, they smiled but didn't think much of it."
He's here to stay at the hotel. Hey.
After settling the bill with the taxi driver, Du Wenqiang followed.
The girls, clearly seasoned veterans of the entertainment industry, showed no discomfort whatsoever to Li Ning's lecherous gaze; their faces beamed with smiles: "Welcome!"
His eyes looked at everyone with curiosity.
Zhang Guodong and his group of five were carrying luggage, and all of it consisted of large bags, which is quite unusual. However, here, as long as you have money, you can spend money.
"We need Wenqiang's tip!" Li Ningguang said, squinting and mimicking a nouveau riche. Du Wenqiang had cash in his hand and gave each of the four girls a hundred yuan as a tip.
"Thank you, boss!" This voice was much more charming and sweet, making one's heart flutter.
What do people come here for? To eat, drink, and have fun. In the end, they all end up rolling around on the girls' bellies.
Zhang Guodong was momentarily stunned by Li Ningguang's behavior, but then his eyes lit up.
The small bamboo house, with its pale yellow interior accentuated by the lighting, offers a striking visual appeal. Such bamboo-built houses are extremely rare in northern China.
Bamboo houses may be common in the water towns of Jiangnan or in the ethnic minority areas of Southwest China, but here, they are a novelty.
Not only is it environmentally friendly, but it is also comfortable to live in, with a refined and ethereal atmosphere.
The small bamboo building has a small bar on the first floor, behind which are many high-end wines, mostly red and white, and the prices are not low. A bottle of wine is half or even two times more expensive than outside, so the profit is extremely high. Of course, it can't compare to Zhang Guodong's shop selling things.
It's estimated that Green Treasure Pavilion is the only one of its kind on Earth!
"Boss, would you like to dine on the second floor or on the first floor?" The young woman in charge immediately recognized Li Ningguang as the boss of the group and turned to him for instructions.
The first expense here is food. Although it's quite expensive, the chef's skills are excellent, so it's a treat.
Li Ningguang looked around the bamboo house and said with satisfaction, "This bamboo house is quite novel. Shall we go upstairs?"
The question asked by everyone was actually directed at Zhang Guodong.
The small bamboo building is now empty of guests, or the guests have all gone to rest and enjoy themselves. The second floor is much quieter than the first floor and offers a commanding view.
Zhang Guodong glanced at Li Ningguang with a half-smile, realizing that he was already getting impatient. The girls were wearing very thin cheongsams, and some didn't even have bras on their upper bodies. Their two prominent nipples repeatedly attracted Li Ningguang's attention.
It's certainly tempting!
Zhang Guodong then seized the opportunity to say, "I'll follow the boss's instructions!"
Li Ning rolled his eyes but didn't argue. This kid's being cunning. But what can you do? He's more prosperous-looking, more like the boss. Guo Dong is practically an ordinary person; who would even notice him?
Li Ningguang knew that Zhang Guodong's net worth was now considerable. Before leaving, he made a trip to the black market. Zhang Guodong spent 1.5 million to acquire eight saplings of various sizes, and later sold five of them, making a profit. However, Zhang Guodong didn't disclose how much he earned. But it must have been at least several million, right?
Zhang Guodong did not mention this to Li Ningguang afterward.
For him, the more low-key, the better. Indeed, at the joint black market flower and tree trade fair, he spent 1.5 million to bid for eight flowers and trees of various sizes. Afterwards, he contacted Hu Yongyi and more than a dozen familiar bosses and publicly transferred five of them, selling them for more than 9 million, making a pure profit of 8 million. But he didn't put the remaining three trees up for sale.
He doesn't sell these three plants; although they are ordinary, they are the most expensive among the eight.
The three trees are an evergreen star anise tree, a pear tree, and a jujube tree. Although they are not particularly valuable, Zhang Guodong would not accept ordinary goods.
Because these three trees are very old, at least three hundred years old, they are extremely rare!
Therefore, they became treasures.
Currently, the more than eight million yuan earned from the sale of flowers and trees, along with three other plants, are temporarily housed in Taoyuanli, where they are covered with soil to retain moisture. They will be transplanted once the space expands to a certain extent.
Upon reaching the second floor, the group discovered it was quite spacious. The presence of only a large round table and a row of bamboo chairs clearly indicated that the business was targeting a high-end clientele rather than focusing on sheer volume.
The second floor can only accommodate two tables at a time.
"That's interesting." Li Ningguang praised it immediately after experiencing it firsthand. "When we get back, we'll build a bamboo house by the mountain and the water. But there aren't many people who know how to build a bamboo house, are there?"
Bamboo hanging is more common in the southwest, especially in the mountains. However, in the north, the technique of building bamboo houses is a unique skill that has been passed down and popularized, and there are not many such skills. This falls under the category of traditional crafts and is a national intangible cultural heritage.
"It's true that the dry climate in the north is not suitable for the growth of bamboo forests, so this craft can't really be put to good use," Zhang Guodong said.
Just then, the sound of footsteps approached; someone came upstairs. Before anyone was seen, their voice rang out, a cheerful laugh: "Boss, are you also interested in building a bamboo house? I can recommend someone..."
"Our boss has arrived!" The young woman in charge of greeting him immediately said to Li Ningguang with a sweet smile.
Thank you all for your monthly ticket support! This book is currently on the new book monthly ticket chart. I bow in gratitude! But that position is very uncertain, haha, it could easily fall off. So I hope those of you who still have monthly tickets can help it climb up and crush the ninth place! Thank you!
