Chapter 72



Song Tiantian and others were digging cicada flowers and having a lot of fun while the Food and Drug Administration was trying to contact Lu Chuanbei.

Unfortunately, Lu Chuanbei's mobile phone was handed in before the recording of the show.

The phone was always connected.

"Leader, still no one answered."

"We're still calling," the leader said directly. "Also, check if he has any other contact information. No matter what, we must contact him today."

"But..." The staff member looked at the leader hesitantly, "Lu Chuanbei is probably still recording a program right now. Even if we call him a few more times, we won't be able to reach him."

"Recording a program?" The leader was stunned for a moment and glanced at the date: "Is today the recording time for the program?"

"Yeah." The staff member nodded and said, "I think I saw their live broadcast while I was having lunch."

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"I didn't expect that the Lu Chuanbei we wanted to contact was the same Lu Chuanbei on the show." The staff themselves didn't expect that one day they would be able to call a celebrity in person.

"That's true." The leader nodded in agreement. "You know, Lu Chuanbei is just a celebrity, but how could he come up with such a useful ointment?"

As he said that, he took out his mobile phone and opened Lemon Video. Sure enough, in the live broadcast room at the top of the video was someone he had never been able to contact.

Lu Chuanbei, who had no idea that he had been targeted by the Food and Drug Administration, was still picking grapes when he heard a noisy noise coming from the front yard.

"Daddy, daddy, please come out soon." Song Tiantian's excited baby voice penetrated the front yard and entered Lu Chuanbei's ears.

Lu Chuanbei came out of the vineyard with a smile: "What's wrong? What good thing happened?"

"Dad, look at this." Song Tiantian held a bunch of small white flowers and trotted towards Lu Chuanbei: "I dug this up."

"What a good thing! Let me see." Lu Chuanbei picked up Song Tiantian and looked at the little white flower in her hand.

Lu Chuanbei was stunned by this sight. He quickly put Tiantian down again, took the cicada flower from her hand and looked at it carefully: "Cicada flower, where did you dig this up?"

"In the bamboo forest!"

"Yes, yes, I was stupid." Lu Chuanbei said excitedly: "Cicada flowers like to grow in bamboo forests in their natural environment. The environment here is so good, it's not surprising that cicada flowers can grow here."

Hearing this, Yang Bai, who was following behind, felt as if he was hit by an arrow in the heart again.

"Yeah, there are still so many cicada flowers in the woods. The bamboo baskets we brought are not enough to hold them. Dad, you should go and help." That's right, Song Tiantian ran back specifically to find help.

In addition, this bamboo forest was not far from the cottage where Lu Chuanbei and his friends lived, so Song Tiantian ran back directly.

When Lu Chuanbei heard this, he picked up the bamboo basket and a hoe placed in the corner without saying a word, and walked towards the bamboo forest with Tiantian.

In the bamboo forest, the two bamboo baskets that Fang Xiuzhu brought were both pulled out to fill with cicada flowers. The bamboo shoots that were originally in the bamboo baskets were now piled aside. The contrast was so tragic.

However, the fans in the live broadcast room didn't care about the bamboo shoots at all.

They all opened their eyes wide and followed Fang Xiuzhu and others to look for traces of the little white flowers in the bamboo forest. Every time they saw them find or dig up cicada flowers, they were as excited as if they had found them themselves.

[Cicada flowers, cicada flowers, Dabin, behind you! Where are there two clumps?]

[On the left, dig up the one on the left first. It's obviously bigger than the ones on the side!]

[There are so many cicada flowers, you should dig them up quickly! ]

[Fang Xiuzhu, if you can't do it, let me do it! There are so many cicada flowers, I can dig them all up by myself!]

[Ahhh, Niannian, be careful! These cicada flowers are over 500 yuan per pound. If you break off a piece of the skin, it will cost several yuan!]

[Here, here, Nannan, there are cicada flowers on your left too. Dig those first!]

[The one on the right is bigger, dig it first! ]

[Yes, yes, I've been eyeing this cicada flower for a long time. Let's dig it up quickly!]

While fans were digging cicada flowers, Lu Chuanbei came over with a bamboo basket. As soon as he arrived at the bamboo forest, Lu Chuanbei was attracted by the cicada flowers under the bamboo forest.

As soon as He Xuebin saw Song Tiantian and Lu Chuanbei coming over, he immediately put the cicada flowers he had just dug in: "Luckily you came, otherwise we would have no place to put the cicada flowers we dug."

Lu Chuanbei looked at the bamboo basket not far away. When he saw that it was filled with cicada flowers, he couldn't help but gasp: "Have you dug so many?"

"Yeah, I dug so much without realizing it." He Xuebin said in a subconscious way.

【Very good, I have been touched.】

[That's too much. I also want to dig up so many cicada flowers unconsciously. ]

[So, where is the nearest bamboo forest? Is it too late for me to get a hoe and go there now?]

Lu Chuanbei smiled and said, "Cicadas like to grow in unpolluted natural bamboo forests. Plus, the environment here is also very suitable for the growth of cicadas. It's not surprising that we can dig so many."

Hearing this, Yang Bai couldn't help but agree, "I can't say anything else, but the environment in our village is really amazing, and the air and water quality are both very good."

Lu Chuanbei nodded: "Indeed, otherwise there would be no cicada flowers and ginseng."

As he spoke, Lu Chuanbei looked towards him as if remembering something: "By the way, do you have any other bamboo forests besides the one that was given to Brother Fang?"

"Yes." Yang Bai nodded and said, "We have many mountains and little land here. Besides trees, bamboo is the most abundant."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Lu Chuanbei said, "Why don't you hurry up and take advantage of the cicada harvest season now to dig up more and make some money."

"Gulp" Yang Bai swallowed hard: "I, we can dig too?"

Lu Chuanbei looked at him curiously: "Isn't this the bamboo forest in your village? What's so strange about you digging there?"

"Not surprising, not surprising." Yang Bai suddenly became excited, then turned around and was about to run out, but then he thought and stopped, and thanked Lu Chuanbei: "Teacher Lu, thank you, thank you so much."

After saying that, Yang Bai disappeared in an instant.

[I’m a fan, I’m a fan! How can I not be a fan of Lu Chuanbei?! ]

[Since he still cares about the villagers at this time, Lu Chuanbei is definitely a man of good character!]

[He has good character, good looks, and can cook and treat illnesses. Isn't Lu Chuanbei simply outstanding?]

[Even better is Song Tiantian, a treasured daughter! ]

[Hey, thank you for praising my husband and my daughter. I feel embarrassed. (Image: )]

【This is my husband and daughter! 】

Lu Chuanbei, who had no idea that he had instantly become the national husband, had already started digging, and clusters of cicada flowers were quickly piling up in the bamboo basket.

Just when they were busy digging cicada flowers, Yang Bai came from the village with a large group of people.

When the villagers saw the cicada flowers that Lu Chuanbei and his team had placed in the bamboo baskets, all the villagers present were excited.

"T-This is the cicada flower?"

"Isn't this the cicada grass under the bamboo? Is it a traditional Chinese medicine?"

"Isn't Cicadae Grass a pest? How can it be a traditional Chinese medicine?"

The villagers didn't understand and were greatly upset.

"Normally, when I see this kind of flower, I dig it all up with my hoe. If I had known it was a traditional Chinese medicine, I would have dug it all up!"

"That's right. This thing is everywhere in the bamboo forest at this season. I always thought it was a weed and dug it all up." The villager was almost regretting it so much that his intestines turned green.

The old village chief leaned on his cane and looked at Lu Chuanbei excitedly: "Brother Lu, is this cicada grass really a traditional Chinese medicine?"

Lu Chuanbei nodded: "Yes, it is the same as Cordyceps sinensis, both are insect-borne fungi and are precious Chinese medicinal materials."

When the old village chief heard the word "precious", his face immediately turned red, and he shouted to the group of people behind him: "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help Brother Lu and the others dig cicada pupa grass!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the villagers each took a hoe and started searching and digging in the bamboo forest.

Lu Chuanbei was startled by their actions: "Village Chief, what are you doing?"

"Hey, hey, hey, this is what I found. Why are you digging it up?" He Xuebin said in confusion as he looked at the cicada flowers that had been snatched away.

"Brother, take a rest." The villagers who had dug up He Xuebin's cicada flowers smiled and said to him, "We dug these cicada flowers for you!"

"What?" He Xuebin was shocked. "You guys are helping us dig?"

"Yes, the incident in the ginseng garden a few days ago was not kind to our village, but even so, you were willing to tell us about the cicada flowers."

As they spoke, the villagers couldn't help but get excited: "Since you are still helping us so much, our village can't help but show our appreciation."

"Don't worry, no matter how many cicada grasses there are in this bamboo forest allocated to you, we will help you dig them up. You don't have to do anything."

The old village chief even shouted to the villagers who were scattered in the bamboo forest digging cicada flowers: "Hurry up and don't miss any cicadas or cicada flowers!"

"Also, the cicadas in this bamboo forest belong to Brother Lu and his family. Don't be so timid as to steal them away. If anyone dares to let me discover their hidden collection, I'll deduct it from your year-end dividends!"

【The old village chief is domineering! 】

[Regardless of the situation, the village's actions this time have changed my mind about their behavior over the past few days.]

"I just want to know how many cicadas there are in this bamboo forest. If we dig them all out, will Lu Chuanbei and the others have nothing to do and can just relax and enjoy themselves?"

Zhang Bosong's previous incident of defrauding Lu Chuanbei and his team of contract fees hasn't gone away yet, and now Lu Chuanbei and his team have made a fortune. This will probably give the production team another headache.

Director Liu fainted in tears in the bathroom again. Why was it so difficult to make Lu Chuanbei and the others poor just once?

Director Liu did feel like crying, but that was out of excitement. Looking at the ever-increasing ratings in the live broadcast room, Director Liu immediately put aside the little matter that Lu Chuanbei and the others were going to make a fortune again.

With the villagers rushing in, Lu Chuanbei and his friends harvested basket after basket of cicada flowers without much effort.

Not only that, they also helped Lu Chuanbei and others carry all the fresh cicada flowers to the grape courtyard.

It’s true that although Beiyang Village is located in a remote area and in a mountain valley, the environment here is indeed very suitable for the growth of cicadas.

Lu Chuanbei looked at the cicadas that filled the yard so much that there was almost no room for him to stand, and he couldn't help but look at the old village chief. "Village chief, after digging up the cicadas, they can't be piled together. It's best to spread them out in a well-ventilated place to dry."

Hearing this, the old village chief's squinting eyes suddenly opened as wide as possible: "Brother Lu, can you deal with cicada flowers?"

Lu Chuanbei nodded: "I know a little."

"Then can you teach Yang Bai a lesson?" The old village chief climbed up the pole and said, "I'll keep Yang Bai here with you to work for you. You can tell him to do anything you want."

[The old village chief is truly worthy of being called the old village chief. His reaction is so quick!]

Yang Bai: Suddenly, I was demoted from a guide to a laborer.

After saying this, the old village chief asked Yang Bai to help Lu Chuanbei and the others deal with the cicada flowers in the grape courtyard. Then, without waiting for Lu Chuanbei and the others to react, he immediately took the rest of the people away.

Yang Bai stood in the grape courtyard a little awkwardly, but when he saw the cicadas, his face instantly thickened. "Um, Brother Lu, what did you say about how to deal with these cicadas?"

"Well, first clean the dirt off the cicada flowers, and then remove the root fungus..."

When Lu Chuanbei and Yang Bai started to deal with the cicada flowers, Song Tiantian had already taken out a kidney-nourishing pill with cicada flowers as the main ingredient from the system.

Kidney-nourishing pills require processed cicada flowers to make. So, Song Tiantian grabbed a few handfuls of cicada flowers from the bamboo basket and started processing them.

Fans looked at Song Tiantian's actions and thought she was learning how to deal with cicada flowers from Lu Chuanbei, so they didn't pay much attention to it.

The photographer even took the opportunity to take a photo of Song Tiantian and the cicada flowers behind her that had just been poured out and cleaned.

The screen was filled with cicada flowers, which made all the fans watching gasp.

[This is a herb that has the same health benefits as Cordyceps sinensis! ]

[Gulp... If all of this were converted into money... I can't think about it anymore. I'm afraid I'll chew my phone out of jealousy!]

[So much money, so much money! These cicada flowers are all money! ]

[What do you think? If I go back to my hometown now and see if there are any cicada flowers in the bamboo forest over there, is it too late?]

[Hehe, I remember seeing this plant in the bamboo forest in the mountains of my hometown...]

[Sister upstairs, come down and talk. Tell me your hometown address quickly. We are half-sisters!]

[Ahhh, city kids have never seen bamboo forests in the mountains. They look incredibly fragrant, don’t they?]

[No, I'm going to the countryside to plant bamboo now. Is it too late?]

[I suddenly remembered that I also saw cicadas in the countryside. Unfortunately, the bamboo forest has been cut down to build a plastic factory. Now, not to mention bamboo, even grass is almost gone.]
