The village chief, Zhao Fugui, patted his chest and said, "Just tell me, Xiaofan. I won't hesitate to help you if I can. If we encounter any difficulties, let's work together to find a solution."
A warm current surged in Jiang Xiaofan's heart, and he quickly smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, Uncle Fugui. Now that Longtou Mountain has been contracted, we need to open up wasteland and cultivate fields. I want to hire some people in the village. Can you recommend some practical and capable hands to me?"
"
"Who are you hiring? Xiaofan, my rich uncle, Uncle Xiong, and I are enough." With a strong voice, Jiang Baosen and Uncle Xiong walked in from outside.
People in the village committee smiled and said hello: "Baosen is here, sit down quickly!"
Ever since Jiang Xiaofan contracted Longtou Mountain, everyone in the village has envied Jiang Baosen, and his prestige has also increased a lot.
Jiang Xiaofan explained with a smile: "Dad, we can't do it without a small number of people. We need to seize the time to open up wasteland, otherwise we will delay the planting, and then the gain will outweigh the loss. Besides, you have to take care of harvesting mountain products, and you don't have the energy to work at both ends."
"Baosen, listen, Xiaofan is very considerate. I think Xiaofan will definitely be better than you in the future, haha!" Accountant Wang Yang joked with a smile, and everyone in the village committee laughed.
Jiang Baosen showed an unconcealable smile on his face: "We are all living in the next generation. If one generation is not as good as the other, wouldn't it be a shame? Whether Longtoushan can do well is another question. Don't treat this kid like
Too high a compliment."
Everyone chatted for a while in the village committee, and Jiang Xiaofan asked his father to hire people. Finally, Jiang Xiaofan warned: "Dad, when reclaiming wasteland, you must be careful not to let people set fire to the mountains or destroy the vegetation on the mountains. And there are other things.
Pay attention to safety and bring an insect repellent kit.”
Zhao Fugui smiled heartily: "Don't worry, Xiaofan, we rely on the mountains and we will not do such short-sighted things."
Soon, the news of Jiang Xiaofan hiring people to work spread throughout Laowan Village. The salary was one hundred yuan a day, plus a meal at noon, and the salary was better than many jobs in the county.
The villagers rushed to find Jiang Baosen, and the doorstep of Jiang Xiaofan's house was almost broken. Under Jiang Baosen's arrangement, fifteen people were quickly recruited.
Many people arrived late and were not selected. They reluctantly said to Jiang Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, next time we recruit people, we must leave a place for my uncle."
"Uncle Tie, don't worry. Now we are just clearing the land, and we will plant vegetables and medicinal materials later. I will call you when we recruit people."
"And me, don't forget..."
"Save a place for me too..."
"Xiao Fan is really promising. He has made a lot of money with everyone in the past half month since he came back."
"Now I pick mountain products every day, and I will grow vegetables with Xiaofan in the future. I no longer have to go out to work hard."
"If you ask me, our village will catch up with Baihe Village in less than two years."
"It will definitely take less than two years. Xiaofan can sell hundreds of thousands of tomatoes after growing a few acres of tomatoes. How much does Liu Gang, who is contracted to dig sand in Baihe Village, earn in a year?"
"Yes, now it seems they dare to threaten us with school affairs..."
"..."
The villagers talked excitedly and gave a thumbs up when talking about Jiang Xiaofan.
Jiang Xiaofan felt a little embarrassed when he heard that. He blushed and quietly slipped out of the crowd, preparing to go to the tomato field to have a look. Yesterday he left the little eagle in the field, and he didn't know if he caught a hare.
Jiang Xiaofan had just walked not far when he suddenly heard the sound of chickens and dogs jumping. Many villagers trotted over to watch the excitement. It seemed that the commotion was quite big.
Jiang Xiaofan stopped the two women and asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened over there?"
"It seems that pheasants entered the village and stole the Hericium mushrooms Bai Susu picked today."
"There are all kinds of strange things happening these days. Even if wild boars and rabbits enter the village, pheasants also dare to enter the village and bully people."
"Xiao Fan, go and see if you can catch it. I heard that pheasant meat stew is a great supplement."
With that said, the two women ran away.
Jiang Xiaofan looked a little weird after hearing this. Pheasants came into the village to steal Hericium mushrooms?
No matter how I heard this, I felt there was something strange about it.
The figure of Xiaodiao came to Jiang Xiaofan's mind, and he followed the others towards Bai Susu's house. Just after turning a road, he saw a familiar figure in the corner of an abandoned old house.
At this time, the little eagle was holding a hare and a fist-sized Hericium in its mouth, vigilantly avoiding the search of the villagers.
Jiang Xiaofan quietly walked around behind it, stretched out his hand and gave it a head. The little eagle was so frightened that it immediately fluttered its wings and took off, but its eyes lit up when it saw Jiang Xiaofan.
"Wow wow wow -" Xiao Diao shouted at Jiang Xiaofan with his head held high.
Seeing the hare in the little eagle's mouth, Jiang Xiaofan was surprised and said, "Did you catch this in the tomato field?"
The little eagle raised its head high and then purred a few times.
Jiang Xiaofan thought for a while and smiled: "You mean you were hungry? Then you came to me?"
The little eagle put the hare and Hericium on the ground and nodded its head.
Jiang Xiaofan burst into laughter: "I ate a few roast rabbits yesterday and haven't eaten anything yet? Why don't you eat hare?"
The little eagle nodded to the hare on the ground, then nodded to Jiang Xiaofan, and flapped its wings a few times.
Jiang Xiaofan was surprised: "You mean you want to eat roasted hare?"
The little eagle touched the hare with its paw, then touched the Hericium erinaceus next to it, then raised its head and looked at Jiang Xiaofan expectantly.
"Do you want to eat barbecued hare with Chinese herbs?"
Jiang Xiaofan looked at the Hericium erinaceus on the ground with an expression of disbelief. Who would have thought that an eagle would develop the habit of eating cooked food? The key is to add nourishing Chinese medicine.
Hericium is not only a delicacy, but also a traditional Chinese medicine.
Jiang Xiaofan guessed that Xiaodiao was more sensitive to the smell of Chinese medicinal materials after eating the barbecue version of hare medicinal food. When he took the hare to find him, he smelled the smell of Hericium from Bai Susu's house, so he slipped in and stole the Hericium.
"Let's go and return the things." Jiang Xiaofan picked up the hare and Hericium and walked to Bai Susu's house. Xiaodiao followed reluctantly.
By the time they arrived at Bai Susu's house, the crowd watching the excitement had dispersed. Bai Susu was alone in the yard, looking a little sad.
Jiang Xiaofan walked straight into the yard and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, are you thinking about me?"
"Xiaofan?" Bai Susu came back and immediately laughed when she saw Jiang Xiaofan. But when she saw Xiaodiao behind him, she suddenly became angry.
"Xiaofan, it's this pheasant who stole my Hericium."
"Wow wow wow -" Xiaodiao shouted with his eyes wide open.
Bai Susu was startled, looked at Xiaodiao and said, "Xiaofan, why is this pheasant so big and so fierce?"
Jiang Xiaofan coughed and said awkwardly: "Sister-in-law, this is not a pheasant, but a golden eagle."
"Diao?" Bai Susu blinked.
Jiang Xiaofan thought for a moment and said, "It's the one Yang Guo rides in The Legend of the Condor Heroes."
"Wow!" Bai Susu's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "Is it your pet? Can I touch it?"
"Wow wow wow -" Xiaodiao stared at Bai Susu angrily, and the hair around his neck stood up.
"Okay, the little eagle is very well-behaved."
As Jiang Xiaofan said this, he pressed Xiao Diao's head with his palm, and a spiritual pressure enveloped him. Xiao Diao immediately lowered his head unwillingly and stood motionless in place.
"Wow! The little eagle is so cute." Bai Susu hugged the little eagle in surprise, the plumpness of her chest squeezed against the little eagle's neck, while Xiao Diao stubbornly raised her head and looked up at the sky, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Jiang Xiaofan looked at Bai Susu's deformed chest and suddenly felt that some people were worse than eagles.
