Lin Hai asked: "Boss, is Xinglong's Thistle really booked by someone else, or are you trying to take the opportunity to raise the price?"
The restaurant owner said: "It should be really booked. In the past few days, many people like you have come from other places to buy grass thistles. As a result, Xinglong didn't sell it at all, and they didn't buy it no matter how high the price was. You should have been there just now
Xinglong Sales Department, all their sales staff are on vacation, only a few people are left on duty here."
Xiao Ru suddenly asked at this time: "Boss, do you know the person sitting in the first office on the left on the second floor of Xinglong?"
"Is it the one with not much hair left?" After receiving a positive answer, the restaurant owner smiled and said: "His name is Sun Fugui. He is the uncle of Xinglong's boss Sun Erhu and the manager of Xinglong's sales department."
"Sun Erhu, is there another Sun Dahu?"
"Yes, Sun Dahu is in the city, and I heard that the business is doing very well. Sun Dahu started Xinglong in the first place, and later gave it to his younger brother Sun Erhu."
"Boss, in the entire Wenqu County, apart from Xinglong Company, is there no other place selling thistles?" Lin Hai asked.
The restaurant owner pondered for a while and said: "If you don't want much, you can go to the countryside below and ask, especially Nanwang Township, you can go and have a look."
This restaurant owner was opposite Xinglong Company and knew the situation of Xinglong in great detail. Lin Hai and Xiaoru got a lot of useful information from him.
After thanking the boss, Lin Hai and Xiao Ru walked out of the restaurant. Xiao Ru asked, "What should we do now?"
"Xinglong Company's grass thistles should have been bought by Meiyan Group. It's useless for us to look for them. Let's go and check out Nanwangxiang, which the restaurant owner mentioned."
There are mountains everywhere in Guizhou, and Nanwang Township is in the mountains. It would be impossible without a car. Lin Hai rented an off-road vehicle, and then went straight to Nanwang Township with Xiaoru.
The road is indeed difficult to walk, especially after entering the mountain. There are mountain roads along the way, and there are steep cliffs on one side and bottomless cliffs on the other side. You must be very careful while driving, otherwise you will fall off the cliff accidentally.
Or get hit by falling rocks rolling down the mountain.
If you don’t have good driving skills, you absolutely cannot go on such a mountain road.
But for Lin Hai, this is all trivial. Langya has special driving training subjects, including driving on steep mountain roads, which is much more difficult than here.
Of course, there is also an advantage to traveling through the mountains, that is, there are beautiful scenery everywhere, which can make people dazzled and overwhelmed.
Xiao Ru was sitting in the co-pilot, taking photos with her phone the whole time and showing them to Lin Hai, as happy as a child.
"Are you still not tired of seeing the mountains when you were in Wudang Mountain for so many years?" Lin Hai asked.
"How do you know I miss Wudang Mountain?" Xiaoru looked at Lin Hai in surprise.
"Didn't anyone tell you that you have a pair of eyes that can talk!" Lin Hai glanced at Xiaoru and said with a smile.
"Liar!" Xiao Ru pursed her lips and smiled. Although she knew that Lin Hai was trying to make her happy, she was still very happy.
In fact, Lin Hai is not just trying to make Xiaoru happy. She has been growing up on Wudang Mountain, surrounded by her masters and uncles who love her. She has grown up in an environment without fighting against the world since she was a child, and her mind is really very simple.
, whether it is joy, anger, sorrow, or joy, all emotional changes can be seen on her face, which is why Lin Hai always likes to tease her.
"Stop the car quickly!"
Just after walking out of a steep mountain road and passing a gentle slope, Xiaoru suddenly shouted.
Lin Hai stepped on the brakes and parked the car on the side of the road.
Xiao Ru quickly jumped out of the car and got into the bushes on the side of the road.
A motorcycle fell in the bushes. There was a pair of grandsons next to the motorcycle. The little boy was only seven or eight years old. Apart from some blood stains on the bushes, he was not seriously injured. However, the old man was lying on the ground motionless. It seemed that
The injury should be serious.
The boy was lying on the old man crying loudly.
There were some rice noodles and other things in the motorcycle compartment, all scattered in the bushes.
Lin Hai checked the old man's condition and found that his condition was better than expected. Only one arm was dislocated and there were no fractures in his whole body.
Maybe it was because my head was hit when I fell, so I was still in a coma.
Lin Hai gave the old man a head massage and passed a trace of real energy through it, and the old man soon regained consciousness.
"Old man, can you hear me? Your arm is dislocated. I will help you reattach it now. It will hurt a little. Please bear with it!"
Worried that the old man could not understand Mandarin, Lin Hai spoke very slowly. After the old man fully understood what he meant, he helped the old man reattach his dislocated arm.
Then, he pushed the old man's motorcycle back to the road, while Xiaoru picked up all the things the old man bought.
"Old man, can you still ride a bike? If you can't, I'll give you a ride!"
"Thank you, thank you, I can do it, no problem!" The old man was very grateful, clasped his hands together, and kept bowing to express his thanks.
Lin Hai and Xiao Ru watched the old man get on the motorcycle and drive away with his little grandson, then got on the car and continued moving forward.
Half an hour later, they finally arrived at Nanwang Township, and Lin Hai soon discovered that grass thistles were planted on all the hillsides along the way.
"Look, those are grass thistles!"
Under Lin Hai's guidance, Xiaoru saw the thistles all over the mountains and plains, and Xiaoru immediately exclaimed: "So many! If we buy all the thistles here, will we not have to be threatened by the Meiyan Group?"
"If we buy all the thistles in Nanwang Township, it should be enough for three months! Let's go and ask someone."
Soon after, a mountain village appeared not far ahead. Lin Hai drove into the village. After some inquiring, he arrived at the door of the village chief's house.
But after learning about Lin Hai's intention, the village chief immediately shook his head and said: "We can't sell thistle to you. We have signed a contract with Xinglong Company. If we sell it to you, we will violate the contract."
"Has everyone signed the contract?" Lin Hai asked with a frown.
"Almost 80% of the grass thistles in Nanwang Township have been reserved by Xinglong Company. Young man, you can go back. If you want grass thistles, go to Xinglong Company to buy them."
"What about the remaining 20%?" Lin Hai refused to give up.
The village chief didn't want to say it at first, but he couldn't resist Lin Hai, so he finally said: "Go to the Shimen Village ahead to find a man named Lu Tao. If you can ask him, he can help you receive the remaining 20%, otherwise you
Just don’t think about it.”
After asking for the detailed route, Lin Hai and Xiaoru continued on their way.
There is a huge stone wall at the entrance of Shimen Village. It looks very much like a door from a distance. It is very conspicuous and easy to find.
After arriving at Shimen Village, after inquiring, Lin Hai and Xiao Ru quickly found the Lu family and also met Lu Tao.
Lu Tao is in his thirties, not tall, with dark skin and a strong body. However, he is lame in one foot and must use a cane to walk.
After hearing Lin Hai explain his intention, before Lu Tao could express his position, an old woman suddenly rushed out of the room, pointed at Lu Tao with a stick and said something loudly.
The old man had a strong accent and spoke so fast that neither Lin Hai nor Xiao Ru understood what she was saying.
Lu Tao looked apologetic and said to Lin Hai: "I'm sorry, my mother didn't let me help you collect thistles, so your trip was in vain. I'm really sorry!"
