Zheng Bajin did not want to cause panic, so he comforted Xi Shunhai and said, "Maybe you are worrying too much. Maybe those people are just like me and just want to develop industries. If you have a chance, you can call two people and go to Huangli Village to find out more , is there really an approval document?”
"Okay, I'll ask if I have time another day." Xi Shunhai still said uneasily.
At this time, the two of them had already walked up the mountain and looked at the forest in front of them. They were far away and could not see anything strange at all. However, Zheng Bajin could feel that there seemed to be an undercurrent surging deep in this peaceful mountain. .
However, he was relieved a lot and put away his previous worries. They were really a group of outsiders, and they openly said that they wanted to raise chickens here, so there was no way it would be detrimental to the villagers. What he was most afraid of was that the other party would operate in secret and destroy the villagers. I ate vegetables grown by Shunhai without knowing who did it.
"Well, it's better to be careful. I will go to the city another day and buy two dogs for you to keep. If there is any trouble, they will make a noise and attract the attention of the villagers." Zheng Bajin said.
"If the other party is really a law-abiding breeder, don't worry about it. However, if something strange happens in the village, call the police." Zheng Bajin continued, "Ignore him now, go back first!"
"I'm going to find someone to get some meat. It's rare to have a meal here. It's too shabby. I'm sorry." Xi Shunhai said with some embarrassment. He didn't know that Zheng Bajin was coming to his house for dinner, so he didn't make any preparations.
"You're welcome, we're all our own, just eat whatever you want." Zheng Bajin said, knowing that although he got some money to buy groceries, he was reluctant to use it and had to save it to treat his wife's illness and educate his daughter.
Zheng Bajin never thought about making it too troublesome, otherwise, he should bring some food back from the street.
Xi Shunhai embarrassment borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. Of course he understood that this was a time when the village was in recession and it was very difficult to borrow meat.
Xi Dingfang had already cooked the cabbage. Watching Zheng Bajin and his two men come back, she was busy serving them to the table.
Only then did Zheng Bajin realize that what Xi Shunhai said was cooked rice was actually a pot of potatoes.
It is cooked very well and the skin can be easily peeled off. If you have a plate of barbecue, it will be a great delicacy in the world.
Xi Dingfang peeled off a big one and handed it to her mother who was lying on the ground, hoping to help Zheng Bajin peel it off.
Zheng Bajin had already taken one in his hand and started to peel it. Before he finished peeling it, he took a bite.
Xi Dingfang said with some embarrassment: "Uncle Zheng, I'm sorry that I don't have anything to entertain you."
"This is already very good. When you read a book in the future, it will be difficult for you to enjoy such an atmosphere." Zheng Bajin said with a smile.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m hungry or something else, but the potatoes just taste different, they feel more fragrant.
Zheng Bajin ate three big ones.
Seeing him eating so sweetly, Xi Dingfang felt less embarrassed. A pair of big eyes flickered under the oil lamp.
After finishing the meal, Xi Dingfang poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Zheng Bajin with both hands. He said that there was no tea at home because his father did not drink tea and few people came to the house. He would prepare more next time.
Zheng Bajin took it, said thank you, and said you're welcome, and started thinking about the dog.
According to Xi Shunhai, the dog should have been brought by those outsiders. I wonder if they will cause trouble.
It would be great if you come and you can argue with them. If you keep a dog untethered and let it run loose, who will be responsible for hurting someone?
Later, Zheng Bajin realized that he had overthought things. No one had ever come to trouble him, and no one said that the dog that attacked someone on the way was his owner.
Xi Dingfang was very industrious and was busy cleaning the house. After a while, she washed the bowls and chopsticks extremely clean.
Her mother ate very slowly and had not yet finished one potato.
It is said that she is always like this and eats very little.
Zheng Bajin understood that this was due to the lack of exercise.
Just when Xi Shunhai was in trouble about how to live at home, Zheng Bajing stood up and left, saying that he had to go back home because he had other things to do.
At this time, it was already dark. Xi Shunhai was a little worried and said that he would send him back.
Zheng Bajin smiled and said, "No, I often don't go home until midnight. I'm used to it. Besides, I don't want to send you back again."
He really wanted to meet those outsiders on the way, and wonder if they would cause trouble for him? For example, highway robbery and the like.
This time, he was disappointed. He was careful along the way, always paying attention to whether there were wires or the like on the road. Unfortunately, not even a hair appeared before he went down the mountain.
…
Deep in the mountains, there is no road access for more than ten kilometers from Haizi Village, and it belongs to the boundary of Huangli Village.
In a large forest, several thatched houses were built at some unknown time.
Four or five men were crowded together. An older man had a slicked back hair and wore a Chinese tunic suit, which was incompatible with the wall made of wood.
His name was Simi Muzi, and his Chinese name was Li Xi. He looked at the four young men in front of him and said with a smile: "You must be wondering why the man named Zheng Bajin was let go today?"
"Yes, boss, why don't you just kill him?" A fat boy named Chen Wuzhi was asking everyone's doubts in a strange way.
"It's easy to kill him, but the hard part is how to make him use me." Simimuzi was still smiling, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "In less than a year, this man went from being penniless to owning an area of land. A pig farm of dozens of acres is considered quite capable, so it would be a pity to kill him.”
"Oh, I understand, the boss wants to fatten him up before killing him?" Chen Wuzhi also said with a smile, "The boss is really wise!"
"Xiao Zhi, you have finally made some progress. You no longer just fight and kill, but you can use your head. As far as I know, this kid has a certain connection with the government. If you touch him now, it will definitely cause trouble among the great powers. If you pay attention, you will expose yourself in advance, which will cause serious problems."
As he spoke, Simimuzi's eyes narrowed, and he continued: "From now on, we will do everything we can to create opportunities to contact Zheng Bajin. If it doesn't work here, then we can do it in the city. However, we must remember One thing, you are only allowed to make friends, and you are not allowed to make enemies with him."
Several people bowed and responded: "Yes! Boss."
"If nothing else happens, the layout of the city should have already begun!" Simimuzi thought with a sneer.
…
Back in Shili Village, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Zheng Bajin went to see the pig farm again and told Zhang Xiaoyang to be careful not to let anyone take advantage of it. Even a fly could not let him fly into the field. Go inside.
The next day, Zheng Bajin went to the city and drove a tractor to deliver some hams to Qingqing, planning to get some random dogs to raise.
Now, there is no monitoring, only dogs are the most loyal and reliable existence. No matter who it is, as long as it comes at night, it will definitely attract the dog's attention.
Opposite the ham shop, a ham shop actually opened, which made Zheng Bajin feel strange. It read: "Authentic old ham, one yuan per pound!"
There are so many people buying ham, and there is a long queue. Looking at my store, there is not a single customer at the door. It seems that the other party is going to fight a price war to the death!
