Chapter 64: Old Man Qian: Mark is getting more and more outrageous
Old man Qian ran over angrily and was relieved to find that Mark had no intention of selling the green caterpillar.
After briefly understanding what happened, Old Man Qian angrily drove away the profiteer Niu Xin.
It is worth mentioning that while driving away the profiteer Niu Xin, Mr. Qian also forcibly demanded 10,000 yuan from Niu Xin for mental damage caused by being cheated. The reason was that if the profiteer Niu Xin did not pay this money, then Niu Xin would not have to pay for it in the future.
Come to Qingxi Village to do business.
After driving Niu Xin away, Old Man Qian returned to the village and immediately cursed at the nearby villagers.
"A bunch of short-sighted things!"
"Fan Laowu, do you think it's kind of you to help Mr. Mark negotiate the price? You want to ask for 250 yuan for a green caterpillar. I think you are like a 250 yuan. Let me tell you, even that fat guy Niu Xin couldn't sell one if he gave him 1,000 yuan."
!"
"Do you know why he bought Mark's green caterpillar at such a high price?"
"I don't know, I just know you don't know!"
"You all, when I asked you to study hard, it was fine if you didn't listen. Now your children don't care if they don't study hard. They study all day long to make their debut in the insect catching competition. As a result, others come to dig up your lifeblood.
You even count money for others, what a bunch of idiots!"
"Fan Bai, I told you, dad, you don't need to be unconvinced. Didn't you say that what Teacher Xiao Sun taught you at school is useless? Can you tell me why you can't sell the green caterpillar to Niu Xin?"
Seeing the angry expression on Old Man Qian's face, Fan Bai, the insect-catching boy, shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.
Fan Laowu said softly: "Third Grandpa, don't you think I have been deceived? And I don't think this is a big deal. There is no need for you to be so angry."
"Don't call me grandpa. I don't have a stupid grandson like you. It's not a big deal. I'm alive now. If I were dead and saw you idiots, I would be so angry that I would crawl out of the grave. p>
Mark, tell these idiots why you rejected the deal from profiteer Niu Xin.
You just rejected that fat guy Niu Xin, don’t tell me you don’t know the reason!”
"Um..."
Mark, who was slightly dazed, came to his senses. In fact, he had just been immersed in the fact that the fifty-year-old Fan Laowu called Mr. Qian the third grandfather.
Well, he unknowingly gained a nephew who is over fifty years old.
The generational hierarchy in this village is indeed a bit chaotic.
Without thinking too much, Mark took a deep breath and explained to the surrounding villagers: "If it is indeed possible to sell a few green caterpillars to Niu Xin alone at a high price, we will also make a small amount of money. But the green caterpillars like those around me can already be regarded as small colonies of green caterpillars, and they must never be sold.
Because after such a stable population of green caterpillars settles down, they will regard the place where they live stably as their home. After evolving into butterfly butterflies and flying south to breed offspring in autumn, there is a high probability that they will fly back to lay elf eggs.<
/p>
If managed properly, over time, these green caterpillars can become another green caterpillar breeding base in a few years.
As far as I know, the only green caterpillar breeding base near Sanshan Town is our Qingxi Village. If other breeding bases appear, the price of silk in the village will definitely drop significantly."
Old Man Qian glared at Fan Laowu angrily and said, "Do you understand? You're kind enough to ask Mark for a price. Do you think you're kind? You're being stupid, a big stupid thing, and you guys, too.
I was snickering beside me, didn’t Fan Laowu talk about you?"
Old Man Qian was spitting and cursing, and it didn't take long for the many villagers who were watching to walk away in dejection, leaving only a woman wearing a white coat.
The woman is in her thirties and looks like a royal sister. Like the school’s teacher Sun Ting, she is incompatible with the temperament of the entire village and gives people the feeling of a doctor or professor.
Seeing the villagers leaving, Old Man Qian's expression changed and he said with a smile: "Director Meisha, I made you laugh."
Zhao Meisha shook her head and said: "Actually, what just happened also gave me some insights, and I understood why the businessman bought the green caterpillars at a high price. It turns out that there is such knowledge in cultivating green caterpillars.
This is the Mark you mentioned. He seems to be very popular among the elves. If necessary, he can work part-time at the elf center."
Zhao Meisha gently stroked a few green caterpillars nearby, then walked towards the construction site of the Elf Center.
The elf center will actually be officially opened for more than ten days. She came here today just to check the construction progress of the treatment room and laboratory. Unexpectedly, she accidentally discovered the commotion in the village and came to take a look.
Looking at Zhao Meisha who was gradually walking away, Old Man Qian said: "This is the future director of the Elf Center in Qingxi Village. Although you are not yet a trainer, if you can have a good relationship with her, the instruments and treatments in the Elf Center will be better."
Everything is free to use.
It is said that this person is an outstanding researcher, but I haven’t found out the specific research project yet..."
Old Man Qian wanted to say more, but suddenly thought of something and stopped.
He walked up to Mark and quickly regained his angry expression of blowing his beard and staring.
Yes, he has not calmed down about Mark's sudden disappearance. How come he talks as if he has forgiven Mark?
Mark touched his nose and said: "Uncle, actually, something really happened when I left that day. I felt that something might happen in the forest, and I was a little worried. I actually wanted to wake you up, but I saw that you were sleeping very hard."
The fragrance just..."
Old Man Qian snorted and said, "Don't call me Third Uncle anymore. Just call me Village Chief like you did before. I'm not as careless a nephew as you."
The corner of Mark's mouth twitched slightly: "Uncle Third, you..."
In fact, Mark really wanted to call Old Man Qian the village chief directly, but if he said so at this time, Old Man Qian would probably be furious.
Old Man Qian snorted again, and then suddenly noticed something. He looked at Mark's shriveled backpack and said, "Where's the coward's elf egg? Don't tell me that you lost the coward's elf egg." p>
Mark picked up the elf ball and said: "I was about to tell you that the coward hatched three days ago, and I have put it in the elf ball."
As he spoke, Mark released the coward.
Then, like a white lightning bolt, the coward quickly and skillfully got into the back of Mark's clothes and started the small electric motor mode, trembling with fear.
"Hatched so early?" Old Man Qian thought of how many days it would take for little fat Li Lei to hatch the elf egg, and then continued: "They say timid people are timid. I didn't expect him to be so timid, but this little guy is on your side.
Get close. It is said that most timid bugs will be very afraid of their owners after they hatch, but you have taken the most difficult step."
After scanning the surrounding area, Old Man Qian suddenly asked doubtfully: "By the way, where is your green caterpillar?"
Normally, Mark's sensible and smart green caterpillar should be close to him and nuzzling him at this time.
Mark looked around and saw no one around him and said: "My green caterpillar has grown a little bigger. I remembered your warning to me, so I didn't release the green caterpillar."
Old Man Qian snorted and said angrily: "You have learned to keep a low profile, but you haven't learned it thoroughly enough. You know how to hide your green caterpillars, so why don't you hide these green caterpillars? You did it like last time, lying in front of these green caterpillars late at night."
Wouldn't it be nice to bring the green caterpillar back?"
Mark explained: "Actually, I also considered whether to come back at night, but after thinking about it carefully, I may have to come back two or three times before green caterpillars like this catch me in autumn.
So instead of being discovered by the villagers secretly at night and then spreading some rumors, it is better to return to the village openly.
After all, it’s only more than 10,000 yuan at a time, so no one should embarrass me because of these profits.”
"?"
As Mark explained, Old Man Qian was stunned again.
"...If I heard you correctly, you just seemed to be saying, how many more times can you catch green caterpillars like this?"
As he spoke, Old Man Qian looked around and suddenly realized something was wrong.
——The green caterpillars around Mark are really too peaceful.
Obviously Mark's green caterpillar is in the Poké Ball and there is no leader present, so why do these green caterpillars still gather around Mark peacefully?
In addition, the green caterpillars are very timid elves. It’s clear that he just got angry nearby, so why can’t these green caterpillars see a little panic?
While thinking, Old Man Qian suddenly discovered something and his pupils shrank.
More than ten meters away, there were several green caterpillars that seemed to have run away, but as Mark waved to the green caterpillars, the green caterpillars came back very obediently.
Can wild green caterpillars be so obedient?
Even if you hold the green caterpillars' favorite food in your hand to seduce them, these green caterpillars won't be so obedient, right?
