I really just want to make money

Chapter 278

"You're actually the mayor?"

Mayor Long smiled and said, "He's also a deputy mayor, but that's all. This Mr. Zhang is actually no lower than me."

Liu Lao turned from surprise to suspicion, looked at Zhang Hua and asked, "Are you still a high-ranking official at such a young age?"

"I'm a businessman!" Zhang Hua said with a smile, "But everyone is under the leadership of the party. If the business gets bigger, you need to establish a party branch."

"How big is that business?" Elder Liu asked in surprise.

Mayor Long smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang has more money than the entire county combined. Well, he earned so much money in two years!"

Mr. Liu became a little numb. After thinking about it, he choked out a sentence, "Awesome!"

"Hey, that's the way it is!" Zhang Hua pinched both ends of the rolled earth cigarette in his hand, put it in his mouth like that, lit it with a lighter, and clicked it vigorously for a few times, then exhaled a puff of thick smoke, laughing Said: "Look, don't I also smoke leaf cigarettes with you?"

"Hey!" Mr. Liu laughed, feeling a lot closer to Zhang Hua in an instant, and then biting the bamboo stick to light the cigarette, he said with some pride: "My cigarette is a good one, you should know .

You know that there used to be a Bian family there?

There used to be a god in his family who was the first teacher of Emperor Guangxu, and there are people who are officials until now. My cigarette is the seed passed down from their family. I heard that their old man also smoked this cigarette in the past. "

"Do you still have such a big family?" Mayor Long looked at Zhang Hua and asked curiously.

Zhang Hua thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Indeed there are, the first newspapers in Sichuan and Chongqing were run by their family, and the one who is still alive is a classmate who seems to be an old man, how can he be considered a rich family.

The old man has been on the mountain for decades. Although he goes down from time to time to replenish various necessities of life, he can't stay for too long. He is already out of touch with society. He still uses kerosene lamps at home.

"It's amazing!" Zhang Hua said with a smile: "But even a catastrophe is also a rebirth. It's like digging the soil. Although some crops are damaged by digging, you can turn the soil over and plant new things again. Luckily The good thing is we have a great farmer, and now the regrowth is pretty good."

Mayor Long nodded with a smile, agreeing with Zhang Hua's statement.

Several people were chatting, the old lady came out with a Shau Kei, with various bottles and jars and a bowl of sour diced radish on it, and Chen Jun followed behind with a steaming big basin.

"The barley cake is cooked, and there is nothing good on the mountain, so you just have to eat!"

The so-called wheat cake is actually the noodle soup in the north. First boil a pot of boiling water, then knead the noodles, wait for the boiling water to boil, and the noodles are almost ready, and then try to tear the noodles as thin as possible and throw them into the pot.

Zhang Hua was not polite either. After holding half a bowl of noodles, he scooped two spoonfuls of noodle soup into the bowl, then took out the various seasonings in Shau Kei, added some sour radish, and ate it in big mouthfuls. stand up.

"Hey, you put fish and coriander in your chili sauce?" Zhang Hua asked in surprise.

The old lady nodded with a smile, and said: "I have always liked the taste of fish coriander, and I have no choice but to eat it in winter, so I collected some dried and ground it into a powder and put it in the chili sauce!"

"Haha, that's a good idea. Next year I'll make some like this to save." Zhang Hua laughed.

Mayor Long asked curiously: "What is fish parsley!"

"A kind of seasoning from our side!" Chen Ping thought for a while, and didn't know how to explain it for a while, "It's all grown in the wild, and it's found everywhere. I usually eat fish, eat bean curd, and mix cold dishes and so on. a little."

Zhang Hua said with a smile: "The scientific name seems to be spearmint. Not only can it be used as seasoning, it can also be used to steam essential oils and so on. In fact, it also has certain commercial value. Of course, not everyone can taste the taste of spearmint, but we here People seem to be able to accept it."

Mayor Long dipped a little bit of chopsticks to try it out, and then said with a smile, "It's pretty good!"

Everyone sipped noodles together, Zhang Hua asked about the experience of the old couple, "Why do you two still live on the mountain? Now the life down the mountain is very good."

"I'm used to it!" Old Liu said with a smile, "I live my life anywhere, and I don't have to worry about eating and drinking on the mountain."

"Don't you have children?" Mayor Long asked.

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "Yes, five or six, but they all went down the mountain to start families, so we don't need to worry about it anymore!"

"It's not easy!" Mayor Long sighed, "It must be very hard to raise so many children in this place, right?"

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "It's okay, there are a lot of land on the mountain, at least there is enough food and drink."

After eating the noodles, Zhang Hua wiped his mouth and saw that everyone had almost finished eating, so he cupped his hands to Mr. Liu and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hospitality. The mountains are high and the roads are slippery. We are full and we are leaving now." !"

"It's just a bowl of wheat cake, you don't need to be polite!" Old Liu laughed.

Zhang Hua nodded and said, "You're welcome, I'll leave you the phone number. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can call me!"

As Zhang Hua said, he took a business card from his body and handed it to Elder Liu, and said with a smile, "Keep it well, in case there is any urgent matter in the future, just ask your children and grandchildren to call me, just take it as a thought."

"Thank you, thank you!" Although Mr. Liu didn't know what the use of this phone number was, but for a rich man like Zhang Hua, it should be of some use to hand it over to him with such solemnity, so he kept thanking him.

Mayor Long sighed a bit after seeing it. This should be a promise made by Zhang Hua, but it is a pity that the old couple should not use it. If the children and grandchildren use it again, the effect will be different.

Everyone then went down the mountain, and after a while, Mr. Liu chased after him and shouted: "You dropped a woven bag!"

Chen Ping turned around and said with a smile: "It's not lost, it's a gift for your old man, it's not worth much, it's just Mr. Zhang's kindness, you can keep it at ease!"

Everyone turned around and waved their hands, and then went down the mountain. There are stone steps, and going down the mountain is much easier than going up the mountain.

Chen Jun walked for a while and said, "I don't think they should be disturbed. If this place is developed, they may not have a leisurely life!"

"Idleness actually means boredom. I've been idle all my life, so why not live a more exciting life in my later years?" Zhang Hua said with a smile.
