Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"Don't be so polite, it's just something that happens. We've been neighbors for so many years, there's no need to be so estranged!"

"Okay! Got it!"

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Chen Zhiguo had no idea about Yi Zhonghai's tragic ending. He had just jumped off the train. This was the destination of this business trip. Chunchang City, as the eldest son of the Republic, has the strongest industrial base in the entire Northeast! This time he came here to inspect and accept three auto parts production plants, which mainly produce related auto parts!

There were eight people on the business trip with Li Guoqiang, and there were just two soft sleeper compartments! Otherwise, if they had to sit on a train for two consecutive days with hard seats, it would really be unbearable!

The person who came to greet Li Guoqiang and his party was a deputy director of Chunchang Automobile Factory, who came with the directors of the first, second and third parts factories that were to be inspected!

Li Guoqiang got on the Volga, while Chen Zhiguo got on a jeep. The train station was built in the east of the city, while the Chunchang Automobile Factory was in the west. On a large piece of land in the suburbs, an automobile city was built. All of the production plants of the automobile factory were here! The supporting factory buildings were still far away, outside the automobile city!

We first stayed in the guesthouse of the automobile factory, which was built a long time ago and had a strong Far Eastern architectural style!

After a short rest, some tea and a wash, the lunch reception soon began. The leader of the head office was busy with work, so he came over to toast with a glass of wine and left in a hurry, accompanied by Deputy Director Wang who had received us this morning!

People in Northeast China drink very quickly and vigorously. They pick up a big wine glass, take a sip, and the whole glass of wine is poured into their stomach!

As Chen Zhiguo expected, the Northeastern people showed their boldness at the beginning. The dishes served were all served in pots, not plates! Even the pickled vegetables were filled to the brim in a large pot!

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, sweet and sour pork, and bighead carp are all hard dishes! The dishes are hard and the wine is even harder. The 60-degree Northeast local liquor and the two-liang wine glass made several comrades feel timid! They are all technicians. If they drink slowly, it’s okay to drink two or three liang of wine. Such drinking occasions are really not suitable for them!

Li Guoqiang drank two glasses of wine with him, and after drinking four taels of wine, he felt a little drunk. There was nothing he could do, and the people who were accompanying him also had red ears and red faces!

Chen Zhiguo had no choice but to take the lead. He first toasted Deputy Director Wang with three glasses of wine, and then toasted each of the accompanying personnel with a glass of wine. This was incredible. After this round, he had drunk more than two kilograms of wine, almost three kilograms!

"Are you okay?" Li Guoqiang asked worriedly.

"It's okay, teacher! I won't force myself!" Chen Zhiguo said with a smile, his words not at all confused!

"Xiao Chen! Young people should be brave and aggressive. The wine in our Northeast is brewed with pure grains. It's okay to get drunk. I guarantee you won't have a headache or a dry mouth the next day!" Deputy Director Wang encouraged and cheered on the side!

After a short intermission, as the host, if you don't make the guests drink well and get drunk, doesn't it mean that the host is not welcoming? No matter where you are, the host hopes that the guests can eat and drink well, especially to drink to their heart's content!

After eating a few bites of food and chatting for a while, the fight at the table started again!

Chen Zhiguo alone blocked the host's warm hospitality. After a banquet, everyone was staggering, but Chen Zhiguo's generosity also won their favor! He didn't shirk his responsibility when drinking. He raised his glass and said, "I'll drink as much as you want." This young man is easy to get along with. This is the common idea of ​​several people present! As a fellow drinker, this is what we like best!

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so a few people stayed in the guesthouse to rest. Those who drank too much went to sleep, and those who didn’t drink much wanted to go out for a walk. When on a business trip to other places, who doesn’t want to bring back some local specialties!

Seeing that Li Guoqiang was resting and he had nothing to do, Chen Zhiguo decided to go out for a walk!

On the first floor of the guesthouse, there was a special receptionist on duty. When he saw Chen Zhiguo coming down, he greeted him warmly, "Mr. Chen, are you going out?"

"I want to go out for a walk. Is it convenient?"

"Mr. Chen, can you drive?" There was no such thing as drunk driving at that time. As long as you could drive, basically no one would check for drunk driving!

"Yes, I have a car in Yanjing!"

"Okay, I'll find you a car." As the largest car factory so far, it was quite convenient to find a car. Soon, a car was dispatched! The receptionist also asked considerately, "Mr. Chen, do you need someone to accompany you?"

"No need! I remember the way we came, and I'll just drive around, not far!" Seeing that Chen Zhiguo did not need an escort, the receptionist brought over a map of the city and marked several famous places on the map, including scenic spots, department stores, and a large market. Everyone knows that when people come here on business trips, they will definitely want to buy some local specialties, so the receptionist told Chen Zhiguo that this place has the most complete products and is the cheapest!

Chen Zhiguo took out two bags of Peony and handed them to the receptionist. The receptionist was very warm and considerate, so of course he couldn't just do the job!

Chapter 130 Hot spring bath!

A GAZ jeep was also provided to Chen Zhiguo. In front of the reception staff, Chen Zhiguo got in the car, started it, and drove around the door of the guesthouse a few times. After the reception staff saw that he was relieved, he drove the GAZ to the city!

When the receptionist pointed to the map and introduced it, Chen Zhiguo had already written down the route! After leaving the factory, the scenic area, and the department store, Chen Zhiguo did not go there, but drove straight to the big market!

The big market is located in the northwest corner of the city. Chen Zhiguo drove for more than an hour before he saw the gate of the big market!

Two hundred meters away from the big market, Chen Zhiguo pulled over and chose an open and easy parking spot to park his car! Further ahead, it was difficult for the car to enter. Various donkey carts, horse carts, and mule carts were used to transport goods and deliver goods, and the road was crowded! Coupled with the bustling flow of people, this big market was crowded with people!

Chen Zhiguo followed the crowd and walked slowly inside. He was not in a hurry to buy anything. When he saw something he liked, he went up to ask the price. After a quick tour of the market and getting a general understanding of various prices, Chen Zhiguo started buying things!

All kinds of dried goods from the mountains, delicious and nutritious hazel mushrooms! Thick texture and delicious black fungus! Pine nuts rich in oil and nutrition, and hazelnuts with a crispy taste and rich nutrition! There are also Hericium erinaceus, dried blueberries, and dried raspberries. Chen Zhiguo carried a large sack and started to buy! While filling the sack, he turned into the space, bought one, and walked away to change to another! There were a lot of people in the market, and there were many people like Chen Zhiguo carrying large sacks, and no one noticed him at all!

Finally, Chen Zhiguo stopped in front of a stall. This stall was very large, with a lot of things, divided into several categories. On one side were medicinal materials, ginseng, deer antlers were packed in wooden boxes, and Schisandra chinensis, Asarum, Gentiana, and Gastrodia elata were placed in baskets.

In the middle of the stall are various furs, including the common rabbit skin, deer skin, wolf skin, and mink skin. On the other side of the stall are various dried game. Chen Zhiguo recognizes rabbit meat, wolf meat, venison, etc.!

Chen Zhiguo is not interested in the meat, but he is somewhat interested in the medicinal herbs and mink fur. These medicinal herbs should all be wild. Buy some now and store them, and take them out when needed. In another twenty years, these wild medicinal herbs will be scarce!

After some bargaining, Chen Zhiguo almost bought all the medicinal materials and mink skins on the stall! Seeing Chen Zhiguo was so happy, the old man who was watching the stall pulled Chen Zhiguo and asked quietly, "Comrade, do you want the tiger skin?"

"It's whole, are there any cuts?" Chen Zhiguo was worried that the tigers would have wounds on their bodies when they were hunting, and the quality of the tiger skin would be compromised!

"No, a bullet went into his eye, there's not a single wound on his skin!" The old man said cheerfully, holding his pipe. He was the village party secretary, and this time he went to the city to sell the mountain products in the village, and then buy the villagers' daily necessities to take back! Chen Zhiguo's package allowed him to go back several days earlier!

"How much? In addition to the skin, is there anything else? What about the bones?" Chen Zhiguo asked quietly.

"In addition to soaking the bones in wine, there are also a few pieces and a jar of tiger penis wine. The medicinal materials have been prepared. Go home and keep them for a year or two. I guarantee you will not sleep all night!" The old man patted his chest and said,

"What's the price for the whole thing?"

"Eight hundred!"

"Your price is too high! How much does it cost to buy a tiger? Between two hundred and three hundred!" Chen Zhiguo would not be fooled by the old man's deception. He bargained slowly!

"This leather needs saltpeter, which is a lot of effort! The medicinal materials in tiger bone wine and tiger penis wine are all good ones. Although the wine used is not expensive, a jar contains 50 kilograms of wine and a 70-degree old pot! These are all real ingredients and I won't cheat you!" the old man said confidently!

After much effort, Chen Zhiguo spent four hundred and fifty yuan to buy the tiger skin, two jars of wine, and several tiger bones!

After buying so many things, Chen Zhiguo naturally couldn't take them away. The old man arranged for the young men in the village to pull the carriage and deliver these things to Chen Zhiguo's car. Chen Zhiguo paid the money and loaded the car while moving it to the space road. Finally, he left the dry goods in the trunk and drove back to the guesthouse! Seeing Chen Zhiguo return safely, the receptionist was relieved. Not long after Chen Zhiguo drove away, he regretted not finding a driver for Chen Zhiguo. If something happened, it would be his responsibility!

The next day, Chen Zhiguo attended the meeting with Li Guoqiang in high spirits! After two consecutive days of meetings, the next time was to inspect and investigate the supporting factories!

Li Guoqiang divided the accompanying personnel into three groups and went to factories one, two and three for a three-day inspection!

Chen Zhiguo also randomly followed a group of team members to the front line. His main purpose was to investigate the production process of the supporting factory. This was very helpful for his thesis. Only by going deep into the front line could he understand the process and the reasonable allocation of employees. This was not something that could be explained in books!

When the investigation was over, Chen Zhiguo also filled a thick notebook with notes. This was a rare learning opportunity for him. At that time, the industrial production level in Northeast China was the highest in the country, and the technology was also the most advanced!

After a one-day summary meeting, the inspection and research activity came to a perfect end. Chunchang Automobile Factory did not let Li Guoqiang and others go back, but drove them to a forest farm deep in Changbai Mountain to have a leisure vacation and relax!

This forest farm was built deep in the mountains. It took the car half a day to drive on the winding mountain road before reaching the forest. The campsite of the entire forest farm is not very large. There are more than a dozen pure wooden buildings, some larger and some smaller. The entire house is arranged in a mountain-shaped structure!

Director Luo, who came to greet us, briefly introduced the purpose of the entire building. Opposite the main gate is the forest farm headquarters and office space. On the left side of the entrance is the dormitory for the lumberjacks. They are rows of large rooms with large bunk beds. The rooms here are divided by work groups, with one room for each group!

To the right of the gate are the canteen, warehouse and other houses. On both sides are large wooden houses, and the wooden house in the middle is much smaller. This is also related to the low temperature here in winter. With so many people working in the office, it is useless to have such a large room. There is no popularity and the room is not warm!

The room where Li Guoqiang and his colleagues live is behind the office area. There is a row of small rooms here. The area of ​​each room is less than 20 square meters. Inside is a kang, a kang cabinet, and a few chairs. As there are enough rooms, each person has his or her own room, so it is very comfortable to live in!

There was nothing to pack, so Chen Zhiguo just took a few sets of clothes to change into, put the travel bag on the kang, and went out!

We are in the mountains here, and the temperature is obviously two or three degrees lower than outside. The heat along the way was quickly dispelled by the cool air here. The air we breathed was filled with the fragrance of grass and trees. Without the hustle and bustle of the city, everything became quiet here, except for the cheerful calls of birds from the nearby mountains from time to time. It was silent here!

At the turn of spring and summer, standing and looking far away, the surrounding mountains and forests are lush and green, and the eyes are full of green! In the distance, the towering mountain tops are still covered with snow, and the forest is wearing a white hat!

"Let's go! Let's go! I'll take you to the hot springs to relieve your fatigue!" Director Luo began to greet everyone. In the valley not far away, there was a hot spring that flowed all year round. After working all day, the lumberjacks would go there to soak for a while to wash away the sweat on their bodies, relax their muscles and activate their blood circulation, and have a good sleep. It would be another day full of energy!

The hot spring is not big, but Lao Luo said it flows all year round. The original hot spring pool was not big. Later, after reconstruction by forestry workers, several small pools were dug under the original pool. The bottom was paved with large bluestones, and the edges were made of smooth pebbles from the river. In this way, several simple hot spring pools were built!

It was built along the hillside, and the temperature was decreasing from high to low. Li Guoqiang and other older people directly chose the top pool and soaked in it. Chen Zhiguo also wanted to follow.

"Go! Go! Go! Young people, don't come in here. This is not the place for you! Go to the pool at the bottom!" An old technician directly chased Chen Zhiguo away!

Chen Zhiguo was confused and didn't understand what it meant, but when he saw Li Guoqiang waving to him, he dejectedly went into the pool at the bottom. He had to say that it was really comfortable to soak in the hot spring water, especially with the blue sky and white clouds and the gentle breeze. It would be even more beautiful if he had some fruits and drank some tea at this time!

"The top pool has the highest temperature and is the most comfortable, but it's not suitable for young people like you!" A forestry worker who was accompanying them was in Chen Zhiguo's pool. He also saw what happened just now. Seeing that Chen Zhiguo didn't understand, he smiled and explained to him, "The water temperature is high, which is not good for your health, especially for unmarried people. You should pay more attention to it, as it will affect your childbearing!"

Chen Zhiguo finally understood why he was driven away. However, this situation mainly occurred when soaking in high-temperature water frequently. It was nothing to be afraid of once or twice. However, this was also the care and love of the seniors for him! Chen Zhiguo could only be grateful and had no intention of complaining!

After soaking in the hot springs, our bodies really felt much more comfortable. All the fatigue from days of hard work and traveling were swept away, and everyone's face was rosy!

All meals at the forest farm are big pot meals, cooked in several big pots, the smell is really delicious, pheasant stewed with hazel mushrooms, braised robe meat, air-dried venison, with wild vegetables and mushrooms collected from the woods, and paired with wide vermicelli. The big stew looks very tempting. Finally, when the lid of the big pot is opened, the aroma is even more fragrant, it is the soup cooked by Two Flying Dragons!

This dish is very particular. The chef said that you have to take it out of the pot after boiling for two minutes, otherwise the meat will be tough and not tasty! It is served in a large pot, with three dishes and one soup, simple and hearty!

When Lao Luo served the white wine, everyone at the table looked at Chen Zhiguo, "Don't look at me, I'm not drinking today, I'm just eating food today!"

Lao Luo was still confused when someone next to him told him about Chen Zhiguo's battle record. When he heard that Chen Zhiguo was killing everyone in the room and drank everyone at the table down by himself, Lao Luo was stunned. There was such a god of wine!

Although he said he wouldn't drink, the cup in front of Chen Zhiguo was still filled with wine. No one dared to provoke him, and he took a small sip every time he picked up the glass. Drinking wine was not as delicious as eating food, they were all pure game, especially the Feilong soup. Chen Zhiguo drank two bowls in a row, it was so delicious!

I just don’t know if there’s a chance to go up and catch a few of them into the space!

Chapter 131: Northeast Lao Lin’s first experience!

After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Today's main task was to adapt to the new environment. Lao Luo said at the dinner table that a hunting trip would be arranged in the mountains tomorrow. Those who are interested can participate, and those who are not interested can just stay in the forest farm, take a hot spring bath, and walk around!

Just when everyone was taking a lunch break, Chen Zhiguo quietly walked out of the room and ran towards the deep mountains and forests in the distance!

Except for a few hills around the forest farm, there are frequent human activities in the forest here. After quickly crossing them, what Chen Zhiguo saw in front of him was the pristine forest!

There is no road here. Even if there is a road, you can't find it if you are not a hunter or a visitor who often goes up the mountain! Chen Zhiguo jumped onto a big tree and moved quickly in the forest like a monkey!

The purpose of going up the mountain this time is to replenish the species in the space, especially the delicious flying dragons. Chen Zhiguo wants to catch more and bring them back!

As for local specialties from the Northeast, such as ginseng, Chen Zhiguo would collect them into his space as soon as he saw them. Now he had some experience, and he had learned a little about the dried goods from the mountains that gathered in the big markets. He knew what were good things, and it was much easier to collect them. Moreover, many of them could be grown in his own space, so he didn't have to go to the market to buy them!

In the silent mountain forest, especially in the dense woods, the afternoon sun shines in dappled patterns, and walking through it gives a somewhat eerie feeling!

If it weren't for the occasional sound of birds chirping, Chen Zhiguo would have thought he had walked into the dark forest in a horror movie!

He collected anything he saw along the way that caught his eye into the space, including pheasants, squirrels, blue sheep, and robes. The happiest thing was that he collected a little sable. Chen Zhiguo chased it for a long time for this sable. When the sable sensed danger, it desperately fled in the forest, running as fast as lightning. Chen Zhiguo chased it relentlessly from behind!

The little sable suffered from a lack of stamina, and under Chen Zhiguo's relentless pursuit, it eventually ran out of strength, was shortened by Chen Zhiguo, and then successfully put into the space!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Zhiguo, where have you been?" Li Guoqiang asked as soon as he stepped into the camp. At four or five o'clock, he hadn't seen Chen Zhiguo come out yet. When he knocked on the door and went in, he found that he was not there. When he was about to ask people to look for him everywhere, he saw Chen Zhiguo coming back with two flying dragons and a green sheep!

"Teacher, I went to the forest for a walk. I saw that you really liked eating them at noon, so I went to catch two for you!"

Li Guoqiang was touched and angry at the same time! "Don't do this next time. You are not familiar with this deep forest. What if you get lost?"

"I got it, teacher! I will pay attention next time!" Chen Zhiguo lowered his head and listened to the teacher's lecture. This was a sign of care for him. If the teacher didn't care about him, who would say these things!

Li Guoqiang stopped talking after a few words. Chen Zhiguo was usually very steady. He acted privately just to satisfy his craving. Let's give him some face! Chen Zhiguo's love warmed Li Guoqiang's heart!

Chen Zhiguo gave the Feilong to the workers at the forest farm to help make, and he prepared the sheep himself, skinned it, and removed the internal organs. Originally, Chen Zhiguo wanted to grill lamb skewers, but he didn't prepare skewers, so with the help of the forest farm workers, he lit a bonfire and started roasting the whole lamb!

The golden roasted whole lamb exuded an alluring aroma. Chen Zhiguo cut it into large pieces with a knife and served it on the table. Feilong soup, mixed lamb offal, wild vegetables, and the lamb roasted by Chen Zhiguo made a rich dinner! Chen Zhiguo took out the white wine bought at the big market and the wild wine brewed by the mountain people themselves. Those who can drink white wine can drink white wine, and those who can't drink can drink some sweet wine!

Chen Zhiguo, as a representative, picked up the white wine and warmly thanked the forest farm employees. They had been treated warmly at noon, and tonight was a return gift. Li Guoqiang and his friends did not drink, so Chen Zhiguo was the only representative, drinking enthusiastically with the forest farm employees!

When working in the mountains, liquor is not only a tool to relieve fatigue, but also can remove dampness and keep warm. Therefore, these forest workers can drink a lot, and each of them can drink one or two kilograms of alcohol! But drinking with them is not meant to make you drunk or to compete with you. You can pick up the wine glass, take a big sip or a small sip. No one will care about you. It's up to you to drink as much as you want. This kind of wine is very happy!

They talked about interesting things that happened while working in the forest farm, and of course there were some strange things too. When it came to the climax, everyone at the table would exclaim, which made the storytellers even happier. Often, while others didn't raise their glasses of wine, they themselves were so happy that they drank several glasses in a row!
