After packing his luggage and lying in a new quilt full of the smell of the sun for a while, Qi Tongwei got up and went to the village chief's house for dinner. Villagers greeted him from time to time along the way.
He hadn't been back for seven years. Although he had changed a lot, his face was too white and too recognizable, and was incompatible with the dark and rough skin of the villagers. Some young people even turned around when they saw him, seeming a little inferior.
When we arrived at the village chief's house, the door was open. There was already a table of dishes on the table, including chicken, duck, fish, and even a few plates of fresh vegetables. This dish was unusual that day.
"Second uncle, second aunt, I'm here!"
Village Chief Qi was busy with his wife in the kitchen. Hearing this, he shouted directly into the back room: "Hey, okay, Qi Yu, why don't you come out and pour a cup of tea for your third brother? You're so old and you don't know any etiquette!"
"Got it!" Qi Yu came out and took a look at Qi Tongwei, whose skin was paler than that of a woman. The light in his eyes dimmed a little, and he called Third Brother solemnly, then turned around and poured tea.
Qi Tongwei shook his head. He hadn't seen him for seven years, and all the familiar people and things had become unfamiliar. He just punched him when he walked out: "Boy, what have you been busy with recently?"
Qi Yu scratched his head and smiled honestly: "I have reserved a piece of land and planted medicinal materials with me. I often say that a real dragon has emerged in our village, and everyone in the village is very grateful to you."
Qi Tongwei also laughed: "What is this? Do you remember that time, I broke your forehead, and your mother bought you a cake to coax you. You had to have two, so your mother bought another one, and then
You ran towards me with the cake and handed it to me, "Third Brother: Eat the cake!"
"I am your third brother. From now on, our lives will get better and better! From now on, every family will have a building and a car, be well fed and clothed, and have money to treat illnesses!"
"Really?" Qi Yu's eyes were shining. His mother died of an illness, and the medical treatment was insufficient and could not be cured.
"Really!" Qi Tongwei patted his shoulder and said firmly.
The two chatted for a while, and became more and more familiar with each other. After all, when they were young, they went to the mountains to pick fruits, fished in the water, and peeked at the wife taking a bath in the village. They had a close relationship.
"Come, come, come, it's time to eat!" the village chief greeted, and then directly pulled Qi Tongwei to the head of the west side of the table: "Tongwei, you are an important guest today, come and be the chief!"
"Okay!" Qi Tongwei is not polite. Besides, there are not many people in the village chief's family. The village chief and his wife, Qi Yu, Qi Yu's wife is an honest woman with slightly dark and rough skin, and there is a four-year-old boy.
Her eyes are so dark that people in the village get married too early.
After arranging everyone to sit down, the village chief picked up the wine glass: "Come on, in the new year, I hope our lives will get better and better!"
"Cheers!" After a glass of wine.
The village chief picked up another glass: "Come, thank our Comrade Qi Tongwei for bringing hope to the village. I hope that in the new year, he will be as strong as a god, no longer injured, find a good wife, and have two fat boys!"
"
"Okay!" Qi Yu shouted. After three ounces of wine, the atmosphere became much more lively.
Qi Tongwei felt a huge appetite after eating the food. This is the taste of his hometown. If he could have a bite of meat when he was a child, he would want to eat it with his tongue. Life is getting better and better.
"Are you eating?" Suddenly a head popped out of the door, Qi Shan, the second oldest person in the village.
The village chief greeted directly: "Come, come, come, have a drink on the table!"
Qijia Village is very lively during the Chinese New Year every year, especially the New Year's Eve dinner. Young people finish eating at home quickly and then go to the village chief's house for another meal.
The village chief is a veteran and gets an annual subsidy. His food is the richest and the wine is good for a few yuan.
As soon as he finished speaking, 7 or 8 people rushed over from behind, all of whom were of the same generation.
The head of Qi Village was delighted: "Good guys, you have come quite well this year. Wife, please bring me some more bowls!"
Qi Tongwei also smiled, feeling like the Chinese New Year.
"Come on, drink!"
While he was drinking happily, a man burst into the room wearing a military cotton coat, cotton hat, and gloves: "Village Chief, last time the foreigner named James wanted to enter the village, and his driver said he was here to see the third brother."
Qi Tongwei was stunned and looked at the village chief.
Village Chief Qi explained: "Last time he came to the village to ask us about the overseas agency rights of Yuan Dan, and the price he gave us was not low."
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
Qi Tongwei nodded. An Yi was responsible for the operation of Buyuan Dan. He specifically explained it. He hid for a moment, not expecting that James was so powerful that he could find the village.
People in the Federation don't celebrate the Spring Festival.
"Okay, then you drink first, I'll go meet him, and Xiaosi will lead the way." Qi Tongwei stood up, his expression unchanged. With his physical condition, one or two bottles of wine would have little effect.
"good!"
"By the way! I also found a cat. Whose family does this belong to? Why is it beating the hunting dogs patrolling our village?" Xiaosi said, raising his hand and holding a small yellow cat the size of a palm, facing
Everyone.
Miao Le blinked his big blue eyes and looked at Qi Tongwei innocently.
"Meow!"
Qi Tongwei was a little embarrassed and stepped forward to take Miao Le: "This is my brother Le! Is the hound in the village okay?"
Xiao Si raised his thumb and said: "Third brother is third brother. All the cats he raises are so awesome. The hunting dogs in this village are mountain dogs trained by the old man. A few of them can fight wild boars together. I didn't expect that they would be beaten by a cat like you."
beginning."
Qi Tongwei smiled awkwardly, and then became a little curious: "My brother Jiale is as fast as lightning, how did you catch him?"
Xiaosi scratched his head: "I saw a few hounds howling and squealing after being beaten, and I couldn't help myself, so I went home and took a pot of my mother's fried fish and ate it while watching. Then the cat stopped beating the dog.
Follow me!"
Qi Tongwei glanced at Miao Le
Miao Le shook his tail, bared his teeth, and glared. What was he looking at? What's wrong? Who said other people's fish are delicious!
Everyone in the room was happy.
"Hahaha~"
"Speaking of which, I don't blame the little yellow cat. The fried fish at Xiaosi's house is indeed outstanding. I used to go to his house to eat fast fish first and then drink at the village chief's house every year."
...
Qi Tongwei hurriedly went out, his face a little red. Several hounds waiting outside saw him going out and quickly stepped aside. Carefully, they noticed that their legs were shaking slightly.
Afraid of being beaten!
"Let's go, Xiaosi, take me to meet that foreigner. These hounds will get some good food for them these days. Tell them to the village chief and charge it to my account." Qi Tongwei ordered, he got dividends in the village.
of.
"Well! I'll take you there now, just make up for it. These hounds eat much better than us. Every meal has bones and beef. Since it is said that our village has become rich, there are often two hounds coming over. These hounds have stood up
A lot of credit.”
"The old man decided to raise a few more next year. There are more and more bad guys out there!"
...
Along the way, Xiaosi slowly introduced the situation in the village, and Qi Tongwei asked from time to time. The more he learned, the better his mood became. Because of him, life in the village has really improved.
"Wow! Brother Qi, it's been so long since we last met, I miss you so much!" James shouted exaggeratedly when he saw Qi Tongwei, and wanted to go forward and hug him.
Qi Tongwei, who was a bit mysophobic, stretched out his hand to shake hands. His physical condition improved and his sense of smell also increased a lot. For some reason, he always felt that the odor of the Federation people's bodies in front of him was quite strong.
Are other federal people like this too?
Being refused a hug, James didn't care. The last time he went back, he asked a specialized pharmacist to test Buyuan Dan through his family's connections. He also conducted several clinical trials. The results were so amazing that he even alarmed his father, the patriarch of the family.
That was the first time that his father talked to him alone and even gave him some rights.
These days, for the first time, he tasted the wonderful taste of power, and he really had everything he wanted.
"Mr. James, why are you here this time?" Qi Tongwei doesn't want some people to yearn for the Federation. After all, it is a foreign country. No matter how prosperous it is, it will only be the prosperity of others.
"Brother Qi, come here this time, I will bring you the sincerity of my Roosevelt family, a big business!" James said exaggeratedly, in their federation, interests are the bond of everything.
Qi Tongwei looked at him deeply, then smiled: "Then I want to see your sincerity!"
James also smiled and looked at Xiaosi.
"Xiao Si, you go on patrol first and keep warm!"
"Okay!" Xiao Si hurriedly left. What the two people said were all bird songs, which he couldn't understand at all, so he could only laugh dryly. It was so boring!
But the third brother is so awesome, he can speak so fluently. The last time this foreigner came here, the translator from the state was said to be a graduate student, and he still stammered.
I have to let that clay child at home study hard when I get back, and then I can hang out with my third brother!
After clearing the crowd, James looked around and whispered: "Brother Qi, on behalf of the Roosevelt family, I sincerely purchase your secret recipe of Buyuan Dan. I can definitely give you a satisfactory price, and can also provide you and your
The family members apply for permanent green cards.”
Qi Tongwei shook his head: "This is something belonging to our ancestors, and it is absolutely impossible to sell it to others!"
"10 million!" James offered an astonishing price.
Qi Tongwei shook his head.
"Dollars!" James raised his bet crazily again. According to the current exchange rate, this price can be said to be sky-high.
Qi Tongwei shook his head indifferently. With the knowledge that Le Ge passed on to him, money was just a number to him. In other words, he wanted more.
Of course, in this day and age, with a lot of money, problems can easily arise.
James glanced at him suspiciously, and the two stared at each other for a few minutes before finally admitting defeat.
"Okay, okay, I know how much you Chinese revere their ancestors, so let's change the approach. I'll give you double the price and buy all your future production of Buyuan Dan." James finally revealed his ultimate goal.
.
Qi Tongwei shook his head again: "No!"
James was anxious: "Why? Aren't you selling medicine anyway? It doesn't matter who you sell to! Besides, China is applying to join the WTO. I can trade with you in US dollars! With a large amount of foreign exchange, I believe this will be an important political issue for you.
Chips.”
"Even if you need it, you can convince your father to use the power of the family to help your country. I believe that with these, you can go further."
As long as you are human, you will have weaknesses. The pretty boy in front of you, who has so much money and is willing to work hard as a policeman, must be greedy for power. James thinks that with this bargaining chip, the opponent will definitely lose.
If his father knew that he was negotiating like this, he would definitely give him a few slaps. He would reveal his trump card in just a few words. What kind of stupidity is this?
Qi Tongwei also smiled. China has a magical weapon, and it will be a matter of time before it joins the WTO. Besides, his goal is not the small power now.
"Haha, dear brother James, don't worry, maybe we can trade in another way."
When James heard the laughter and looked at Qi Tongwei's gentle smiling face, he felt a chill in his heart. It was exactly the same as when his father was cheating people in business!
"What kind of transaction?" James said a little warily.
"Machine? Am I suddenly interested in machinery?" Qi Tongwei said casually.
James also breathed a sigh of relief: "This is easy. What do you want? A car, a sports car? Even a tank, I can get it for you, but you have to transport it yourself!"
After looking around, Qi Tongwei approached James and communicated softly.
After hearing this, James' face turned even paler: "No way, these are contraband. If discovered, the empire will send me to the gallows!"
Qi Tongwei shook his head: "No, I'm not talking about now. When you take control of the family power, these are just trivial matters. Besides, all I need is some machines. There is no corresponding theoretical technology or relevant technicians. I will do it too
It's nothing, is it? My dear brother."
James thought for a while, but still shook his head firmly: "Unless you are willing to hand over the secret recipe of Buyuan Dan, it is impossible!"
Qi Tongwei chuckled. Don't think that these big families won't lie. If you hand over the secret recipe, they will probably fall out immediately.
"James, do you know anything about our Chinese history?" Qi Tongwei said mysteriously.
James frowned: "Mysterious meaning?"
"I don't know, have you ever heard of the art of immortality?"
James was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at a fool, deceiving an honest person?
"What? Don't believe it? Believe it or not!" Qi Tongwei turned around and left.
James quickly stopped him: "Wait a minute, Brother Qi, are you telling the truth?"
Although I really don’t believe it, what if it’s true? Immortality! No matter how magnificent you are now, you will still be a pile of loess or concrete a hundred years later.
Even if you reach the top now, so what? A thousand years from now, at most you will leave a few more strokes in history. Ten thousand years from now, only time will have your memories.
The more you enjoy, the more you fear death!
Even if it means extending your life span!
Turning around, Qi Tongwei hooked his hands and said, "Follow me!"
James followed eagerly. With his status as a federal citizen, there were few places in the world that he didn't dare to go to, except for Jingzhou, which really scared him last time.
An hour later, after going to the toilet several times, scrubbing his body with a wooden bathtub and feeling the changes in his body, James was shocked.
As a rich man, he has been addicted to women for a long time and always feels weak. It has only been a while. Now, he clenched his fists and could even clearly feel the power.
He can hit ten!
"Do a physical therapy session in the next six months, and don't interact with unhealthy people in depth. You can at least live to be a hundred years old!" Qi Tongwei on the side relaxed his muscles and bones and said easily, letting others quickly absorb the effects of the high-quality Bu Yuan Dan, that is,
It's a matter of getting a few needles.
James took a closer look at his skin, which seemed to be much whiter and tighter. He raised his head and hesitated to speak. After a few minutes, he finally couldn't help but asked: "Brother Qi, is there really a magic of immortality?"
Qi Tongwei smiled mysteriously: "Time will tell everything!"
James stared at Qi Tongwei with a chill in his heart. At this moment, he even felt that the person in front of him was Satan in the Bible!
