Chapter 11 The trap caught a grown man
Guo Hongxia said this without any reason.
Su Xiaoli was startled at first, then smiled and said, "Of course, sister-in-law, please come often in the future. Welcome, welcome."
She had dealt with so many people in her previous life, and everyone was very friendly and treated her as a good sister.
There are a lot of "Best Actor and Best Actress", but most of them only know their appearance but not their true heart.
This was the first time she met someone like Guo Hongxia, who wanted to make new friends but was so shy that she didn't know what to say.
This sister-in-law is young and thin-skinned, but she is not scheming and is very straightforward and honest.
Guo Hongxia got the affirmation, blushed, smiled, nodded vigorously, and left happily.
When Grandma Su came back, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
"Your uncle Li said it's delicious. I don't know if he was just being polite or if it was genuine. Let's go set up the stall."
This poor county town is located at the foot of Taiwu Mountain. No matter whether it is a good year or a bad year, the food people look forward to most in August and September is peanuts.
Fresh peanuts just pulled from the ground are crispy, sweet and fragrant, while boiled peanuts are soft and spicy.
This year, the residents of the family compound also tasted the "mustard peanuts" jointly launched and made by Su Xiaoli, a future person, and Grandma Su, a master of cooking! Boiled peanuts are very popular. When the "mustard peanuts" officially debuted on the fourth day, everyone felt it was fresh.
You and I took turns trying the snacks and commenting on them.
Mustard and peanuts are two magical foods in themselves. When they are combined together, they are unexpectedly harmonious, making people more and more addicted.
Grandma Su tried many times to make the mustard peanuts, and she got the proportions just right.
It tastes spicy mustard at first, like the first sip of ice soda on a hot summer day. It is stimulating and refreshing, but it does not cover up the salty and crispy taste of the peanuts.
The new mustard peanuts are simply irresistible, attracting people in the family compound like magic, and their hands unconsciously reach for the banknotes in their pockets.
For three or four days in a row, Su Xiaoli set up his stall around 5 p.m. every day, and just after 7 p.m., the plates of boiled peanuts and mustard peanuts were empty.
After selling the last peanut that day, Su Xiaoli stretched lazily. The peanuts he had harvested this time were about to be sold out. In total, he could make nearly a hundred yuan.
In order to avoid a single taste, she decided to go to the mountains the next morning to pick some chestnuts, walnuts, hawthorns, etc., and process them to sell.
In the afternoon, I will go to the village to collect another batch of peanuts, expand the sales range, and try my luck in other crowded places.
Su Xiaoli happily counted today's banknotes. The wrinkled bills looked so cute in her eyes.
The excitement made her relax her vigilance a little, and she didn't notice at all that under the shade of a tree in the distance, a man holding a dogtail grass in his mouth had been secretly staring at her for the past few days.
She was clearly wearing long sleeves and long pants, but the man's greedy eyes made it seem like she was wearing nothing at all...
Early the next morning, Su Xiaoli borrowed Li Zhengde's bicycle again and rode towards the mountain.
The further you go into the mountains, the rougher the road becomes.
At least there was a dirt road in the village, but near the foot of the mountain, there was only a bumpy and narrow path.
Su Xiaoli saw a jeep parked not far away.
There is no road going up further, no wonder the Jeep, known as the "King of Off-Road", can only be parked at the foot of the mountain.
She hid the bicycle behind a clump of big trees, locked it, and went up the mountain carrying the backpack.
Looking around, you can see green mountains and green trees everywhere.
There were red dogwoods and white wild lilies and orchids growing in a haphazard pattern, as well as many other plants she couldn't name.
Su Xiaoli greedily breathed in the fresh mountain air.
There were a few hawthorn trees at the foot of the mountain, but the walnut trees and chestnut trees were above the halfway point. She gathered all her strength and climbed up the mountain, stepping on the rough and protruding rocks.
Just as Su Xiaoli reached the middle of the mountain, he wiped the sweat off his head and heard a few voices coming from the woods: "Is there anyone there?"
"Is someone coming..."
"Pull me up..."
It was a man's voice.
This man seems to have fallen into a trap designed to catch wild boars...
There were many wild animals in the mountains in the 1980s: smaller ones like hares, pheasants, and weasels, and larger ones like wolves and wild boars.
At that time, grain production was already limited. Moreover, farming conditions in the mountains were poor. Farming relied entirely on manual labor, facing the loess and back to the sky, which was very hard work.
The wild boars in the mountains are very powerful and will eat anything edible.
It not only eats tender leaves and nuts, but also will not let go of the various crops that are grown with great effort. Its hard nose will also dig up the ground and destroy the roots of the crops.
If the fields that have been opened up with great difficulty on the mountain are unfortunately encountered by wild boars, then it will be the end of you. A large amount of food will definitely be destroyed by them.
If left unchecked, an acre of land can be destroyed by it in less than a month.
Wild boars are large in size, have a large appetite, and are social animals.
Every time they go out to look for food, they basically form groups to damage crops. In addition, wild boars have high reproduction and survival rates, so they have become a thorn in the eyes of the people in the mountains.
The farmers have thought of other solutions. They have used fences and iron nets, but to no avail. The wild boars are strong and these defensive measures are useless to them.
Later, people dug a lot of traps in places where wild boars often appeared, hoping that they would fall into the trap and once caught, they could be used as a meal.
Su Xiaoli frowned slightly. In this remote place, the trap didn't catch the wild boar, but caught a grown man instead.
But... listening to the accent of the person calling for help, it doesn't sound like someone from the local area, but more like someone from the Beijing area.
In his previous life, Doctor Su had lived in the capital for more than ten years. So when he first heard the familiar Beijing accent in this life, he was quite shocked.
Su Xiaoli followed the sound and slowly approached, "Is there anyone there?"
She stopped about a meter away from the trap and shouted diagonally downward.
The man in the trap was Gu Feihan. He inspected several projects in Zhejiang Province and was very interested in one of them, a winery in Qingzhou.
The owner of the winery joined some kind of "Pinghui" and was only interested in making money. He had no patience for the daily operations and management of the winery, and the sales of the wine he produced were not good.
The factory was facing bankruptcy, so the boss wanted to quickly pack up and sell the winery so that he could raise a large sum of money to invest in a partnership that could make money faster.
This was Gu Feihan’s first time investing in industry, so he wanted to investigate the basic situation of the market and raw material supply first. After buying the factory, he directly bought a Jeep 212 and drove it from Zhejiang Province to northern Hebei Province overnight.
Jibei Province is located north of the Yellow River. There is the famous Taiwu Mountains in the province. It is said that the sorghum in the mountains is of excellent quality and the wine brewed from it is very famous in China.
It’s a pity that Xiang Qianjin had used up all his leave and was urged to return to Beijing. This time he drove here alone.
He did not stop along the way, and it was already three or four o'clock in the morning when he arrived at the foot of Taiwu Mountain.
He took a short nap in the car, and as soon as it was light, he left the car and headed straight up the mountain.
The sorghum here was well cared for by the mountain people, and it was a large area of bright red. He suddenly felt like going to the top of the mountain to have an overall view so as to estimate the total output.
He was not careful and fell into a trap set for wild boars.
Welcome everyone to vote for me!
