Lin Shan quickly opened the door curtain and walked in. When he saw Mr. Gen coming out of the house with a pipe, he couldn't help but smile. He opened his backpack like a treasure, took out a small half of cans of tobacco, wine, cooked food, etc., and placed it on the table.
A table full.
"Master Gen, this is to honor you. Look at these cigarettes. I heard they are only smoked by big bosses, but they are too expensive. I only bought one. There is also this wine. A bottle costs several hundred, but it seems like something
Please try the national wine first, and then I will buy it for you when I make money."
"Bang!" Lin Laogen suddenly slammed the table, stared at Lin Shan with a stern face, and asked: "Lin Shan! Where did you get so much money? Did you do something bad?"
Lin Shan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and said: "Oh, my God! You are always so worried about me. I, Lin Shan, have been poor for so many years, can't I change my luck and make a little fortune?
"
"Don't do this to me, kid! Tell me! Where did you get this money? If you can't tell me why, I'll break your legs!" Lin Laogen stared at him as if he hated iron.
Big Eyes yelled angrily!
"Okay, let me tell you. This is actually what happened. A few days ago, I went into the mountains to collect herbs, and I was lucky enough to find an old wild ginseng..." Lin Shan repeated the reasons he had compiled.
"There is Laoshan Ginseng in Yunwu Mountain? How come I haven't heard of it?" Lin Laogen asked doubtfully.
"The old forest is so big, and it's all virgin jungle. How far have you gone? I've been running into the mountains all these years, and I've been to many more places than you. Also, if you don't believe it, you can go to Sister-in-law Xinghua,
She happened to see me selling ginseng."
"Is that true?" Lin Laogen said hesitantly.
"Of course it's true. I, Lin Shan, can lie to anyone, but when it comes to you, I will always tell you the truth." Lin Shan assured.
Lin Laogen nodded, seeming to agree with this sentence, and said: "I'm sorry that you don't dare to lie to me! But Shanzi, you must not tell this matter, otherwise everyone will hide in the mountains, and you won't make any money.
Money."
"Sigh... I've suffered a lot from you these past years. Hurry up and save some money to build a house, and then I can give you a housewife. This means that I have lived up to the trust your grandfather gave me."
"Hey, I'll listen to you!" Lin Shan couldn't help but feel a little sad when he thought of his deceased grandfather.
"You said you kid, if you don't save money to build a house and marry a wife, why did you buy so many things for me? I don't have enough food?" Lin Laogen felt sorry for Lin Shan and money, and couldn't help but blame him.
Lin Shan chuckled and said, "There will be many opportunities to make money in the future. You have taken care of me all these years, and I should respect you. Oh, by the way, Mr. Gen, I want to discuss something with you."
"What's the matter?" Lin Laogen likes tobacco and alcohol, but looking at the good tobacco and alcohol on the table, he still feels a little worried about money.
Lin Shan smiled nonchalantly and said, "I want to open a canteen in the village. What do you think?"
When Lin Laogen heard this, he couldn't help but look at Lin Shan hesitantly, then picked up the pot for the tobacco bag, stuffed tobacco into it, and said in a deep voice: "Our village really lacks a canteen. If you can open one, it will be good for you."
It’s good for the folks.”
"You have a lazy personality and don't do any farm work. Opening a canteen is just a side job. The most important thing is to provide convenience to the villagers and also gain a good reputation for yourself. This way it will be easier to talk to your wife."
"That's what you always said. In fact, I have had this idea for a long time, but I never had the funds, so..." Lin Shan nodded repeatedly.
After Lin Laogen heard this, he immediately pointed at Lin Shan angrily and said: "You have no ability, but you have a lot of self-esteem. You don't know how to care about me if you don't have money? As long as you do the right thing and follow the right path, I will give you my money."
It’s nothing.”
"I know you are always kind to me, but you have children after all. If money causes conflicts in your family, wouldn't I feel guilty to death?" At this point, Lin Shan waved his hand and continued: "I won't talk anymore, now money
The problem has been solved. But if you want to open a canteen, you need a place. My shabby house will definitely not work, and the location is not good..."
Lin Laogen nodded and said: "Your side is a bit biased! The best place in the village now is the wheat field at the entrance of the village. But it costs a lot of money to build a new house. Transporting bricks and tiles
Cement, etc., I can mobilize the folks to help. I know some masons, and the labor is not too expensive, but the cost of building materials is not tens of thousands, so I’m afraid it won’t be possible to build it. Let’s just build one floor.
A tile-roofed house, if it is a building..."
"Master Gen, I don't want to build a new house just yet." Lin Shan smiled and then said: "As you know, my reputation in the village was not very good before. Everyone thought that I was not doing my job properly. If I suddenly build a new house,
The villagers will definitely be suspicious. In that case, I won’t be able to hide the fact that I dug old wild ginseng in the mountains."
After hearing this, Lin Laogen nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's right! So what do you mean..."
Lin Shan took out his lighter, lit the pipe pot for Lin Laogen, and then said, "I want to rent the village committee of our village. What do you think?"
"Good boy, it turns out you had already planned it..."
Lin Laogen pointed to Lin Shan with a smile, and continued: "It's not impossible to rent the village committee. It won't be used a few times throughout the year anyway, and it would be a waste to leave it empty. But the village committee is the property of the village collective, so you have to rent it.
, you must make a contract and pay the rent on time. This money must go to the village finance department. Of course, I can make the decision to make the rent cheaper for you."
"What I want is your words." Lin Shan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Then we've settled on this?"
"It's settled! It's your first time to do something serious, and I have to give my full support no matter what. I'll call your old uncle Cai here later and ask him to draw up a contract. After we both sign it, you can just get started." Lin Laogen said.
In this matter, he is more active than Lin Shan.
Lin Shan responded with a smile: "Then I will go find Uncle Cai now."
Uncle Cai is the accountant of Xiaowa Village. He can write and calculate, and is good at calligraphy.
During the Spring Festival every year, every household's couplets are all written by Uncle Cai, and even people from other villages come here to ask for an auspicious couplet.
In addition, Uncle Cai is an upright and aboveboard man, so everyone in the village respects him very much. He is a very important figure in the village besides Mr. Gen.
Lin Shan naturally respects Old Uncle Cai, but precisely because of Old Uncle Cai's character, he especially looks down upon people like Lin Shan who do not do their job properly and are careless. He only talks about it once they meet him, which makes Lin Shan feel uncomfortable every time he meets him.
Hide and walk.
However, this time he went to see Old Uncle Cai for a serious matter, and it was a good thing to benefit the people and himself, so Lin Shan was not so frightened.
