Meng Zhehan changed his clothes and came over to Xiao Yunhai and stretched out his hand. Xiao Yunhai hesitated for a moment, his expression a little reluctant, but he still leaned over to let his uncle hug him.
Everyone laughed at the side. They didn't expect that the little guy could understand everything. Seeing how embarrassed they were just now, did the little guy have a trauma in his heart? Meng Zhehan said to Shen Yu, "Yu Ting and Jian Li were lucky this time. They found a forest of ginseng. Xiao Zheng... is Yu Lin's friend's comrade-in-arms. They helped together and dug out more than 30 ginsengs in total. There are still many that are not dug out because they are too small to be kept.
Later, I saw in a mountain village that every household would collect medicinal herbs, prepare them and store them. It was said that someone would come to buy them regularly. I didn’t know much about this, so Xiao Zheng found relatives who knew about it. They all said that the medicinal herbs in that area were really good, so we bought them all. Once we bought them, we realized the quantity was amazing. Some were shipped back by train, and some were loaded onto trucks. You can take a look.”
Shen Yu and Meng Tao walked over to see that there were indeed a lot of medicinal herbs piled on the two trucks. The quality was very good, and among them were many rare medicinal herbs that the couple had not collected.
Shen Yu: "These herbs are really good. Leave them to me. I'll pay for them and then give them to you... including Yu Lin's friends, each of you will get some hard work compensation."
Xu Yulin smiled and said, "No need for hard work fee, I just want to have a good meal now."
If you only eat barbecue in the mountains for a few days, you will not be able to survive without some food in your stomach.
"Let's go to the best restaurant in this city. You have worked hard to get so many good things. You need to eat and drink, and you should also get the rewards you deserve."
The gift Liu Jicheng gave to Meng Tao was a snow-white fox. He aimed at the fox's eyes without damaging the fur, and when done, it could be made into a beautiful scarf.
Xu Yuting fell into a deep pit and grabbed a plant on the wall in a panic. Unexpectedly, he pulled out a fat white radish head. Later he found out that it was a ginseng that had been growing there for about a hundred years and was pulled out by him.
Later they dug up a lot of big ginsengs, but Xu Yuting thought this ginseng was the most beautiful and spiritual, so he put it in his arms and decided to give it to Meng Tao as a gift.
The gifts from the two little friends were very rare, so Meng Tao accepted them with a smile without hesitation.
Shen Yu was talking to Meng Zhehan, Xu Yulin and the others. He glanced at his three friends casually, then turned away as if nothing had happened.
It was just ginseng. He and his wife received older ones and planted a lot of them in the space.
The snow fox is most likely stored in a warehouse, and might be given away by his wife one day because she doesn't like wearing fur.
When returning to Beijing, the family of three took Xiao Wangcai, Meng Zhehan, Xu Yulin and Liu Jianye on a plane, while Xu Yuting, Liu Jicheng, Ding Hao and Huang Zhi still drove and made the long journey.
Shen Yu deliberately placed the purchased specialties in a visible place, asked them to load them into the car, and reminded them to be careful on the road. Among them, the large boxes of vintage tiger bone wine and deer antler wine should be carefully cushioned to prevent them from being damaged by vibration.
Meng Tao said, "You guys go hunting, and my wife and I will buy these specialties together. When we get back, we will divide them among you and take them home. We can't come here for nothing, right?"
Everyone was very happy to hear this. These specialties are all good things, and they might not be able to find them if they were asked to buy them themselves.
Xu Yuting smiled and said, "Xiao Huahua is really thoughtful. It must cost a lot to buy so many. I'll give you the money when we get back."
Meng Tao: "Where did you get the money? You need money to pay back my loan."
Xu Yuting was so complacent that he acted like a nouveau riche. Liu Jianye couldn't stand it and kicked him over.
Due to the sudden drop in temperature in Northeast China, although it did not snow in Beijing, the weather became cold. Everyone got off the plane in down jackets and it did not seem out of place at all.
After returning home, Xu Zhen hugged little Yunhai and started crying. Shen Heping felt distressed and touched his precious grandson's face lovingly. He complained to the young couple: "Why did you come back just now? Isn't it only a week's vacation? Look how worried your mother is. She can't eat or sleep well all day and all night. Oh, my eldest grandson has lost weight too. What happened to you?!"
Shen Yu: “…”
Dad is getting younger and younger. When they go out together, they are often mistaken for brothers. But this look is not good. Your eldest grandson is still chubby. How can he lose weight? Meng Tao: "..." So we are just deliverymen, no need to ask why we are late?
Shen Heping didn't care what his son and daughter-in-law were thinking. He and Xu Zhen quickly carried their eldest grandson into the house, and kept calling for Sister Lin and Sister Gan to bring hot water and the cooked rice paste. The couple worked in perfect harmony. In their eyes, their eldest grandson had been wronged and hungry during those days, so he had to be fed well and given some nourishment.
Shen Yu and Meng Tao left them to play, and then went back to their room to rest.
Little Wangcai was very reluctant to be dragged by Uncle Gao to be washed. Actually, it was not dirty at all. It was very comfortable to follow its little master into the space to take a spring bath every day. But Uncle Gao didn't know about it. There was no way, so just take a bath. Uncle Gao also knew how to give massages, so it was nice to enjoy it.
Ding Hao, Xu Yuting and the other two ran away for five days before returning to the capital.
There was a traffic jam on the road due to rain and snow, and we had to camp outdoors for two nights. It was quite a hardship, and everyone looked dusty and haggard.
The young men were well-trained and came back to rest and feel refreshed. There were even more exciting things waiting for them: participating in hunting, digging ginseng, and transporting medicinal materials, and each of them received a corresponding amount of money.
I don’t know how much others got, but Xu Yuting and Liu Jianli got the same, 17,000 yuan each.
They were the first to discover ginseng, two of which were over a hundred years old. As they were his own people, Shen Yu paid a high price for them. If they had any disputes, they should be able to get more money.
But Xu Yulin refused, thinking that it was someone else's territory after all, and that teamwork played a big role when hunting. Moreover, if they were not locals, even if they encountered ginseng, they would not be able to dig good ginseng as they had no technical skills and were short of time, and they would not be able to sell it at a good price if the quality was bad.
So Xu Yulin and Liu Jianye discussed it and obtained Meng Zhehan's consent to give the bulk of the money to that side. These people were brothers, so it would be easy to decide how to divide it.
Xu Yuting and Liu Jicheng had no grudges against their brother, so they just listened to the decision made by their elder brother.
What's more, more than ten thousand yuan is a huge sum of money in their eyes. It completely exceeded their expectations and they were satisfied.
The two of them paid off Meng Tao's "mortgage" in one go, and they still had so much money left. They were so happy that they insisted on inviting Meng Tao to a restaurant, letting her pick the best western restaurant in the city! Meng Tao gladly accepted the invitation. She had to understand the beautiful mood of someone who had become rich overnight, so she took her son and Xiao Wangcai to happily support them and have two big meals first.
