Chapter 278: Rare Treasures and the Mantis Catching the Cicada, Waiting for the Yellow Bird Behind
“Meng De, you don’t know how cold the weather is in Northeast China.

Let me put it this way, in the winter, when you wake up, you will find that the door cannot be opened because it is blocked by a night of heavy snow.

There was no choice but to jump out of the window and go outside to shovel the snow. The temperature was more than ten degrees below zero, or even minus 20 or 30 degrees, and you would get frostbite if you were not careful.

Fortunately, when I left last year, you helped me prepare a large amount of antifreeze cream and ointment for treating frostbite, which was so useful and helped a lot.

At night, unless there was something important to do, no one dared to go out. Even if they went out to the toilet, they had to carry a stick with them. . . ”

Liang Mancang recounted his experience with a sigh on his face.

A few years ago, when the country was preparing to open up wasteland in Northeast China, he was the one who led the team there.

The first group of people who went there at that time consisted of only a few thousand retired soldiers, and the number gradually increased every year.

In the past two years, a small number of educated young people have joined there, and now the population has swelled to over 100,000, spread over an area of ​​hundreds of miles.

"Why do you need to carry a stick when going to the toilet? Is it to protect against wild animals?"

On the side, Sha Zhu was listening attentively, and asked curiously after hearing what was said.

He was bored this morning, so he brought his son to visit Wang Mengde's house, and happened to meet Liang Mancang and Dai Botao.

“There are indeed a lot of wild animals, such as tigers, blind bears, wild boars, etc., which can be said to be everywhere.

But generally speaking we are not afraid, because the guns in our hands are not fire sticks, and even the most powerful beast cannot withstand a few shots.

I used a stick, mainly when I was going to the toilet, and it froze all of a sudden, so I had to use the stick to shorten it.”

Liang Mancang explained.

As he spoke he began to laugh.

Sha Zhu was skeptical after hearing this. His name was Sha Zhu, but he was not stupid at all. He felt that this was just a joke.

On the other side, Wang Mengde took a towel and wiped the watermelon juice off his daughter's mouth and belly. He looked at the sun outside and found that it was almost noon, so he smiled and said:

"Silly Zhu, I need you to show us your cooking skills today so that these two big brothers can have a taste of your cooking skills."

"No problem, leave it to me. I'll make sure Brother Liang and Brother Dai are satisfied with the meal."

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said.

As he said that, he stood up and began to prepare the dishes.

If it comes to other things, he may feel guilty, but when it comes to cooking skills, he has great confidence.

More than an hour later.

At the dining table in the Wang family's living room.

After some push.

Wang Hao sat at the top reluctantly, Liang Mancang and Dai Botao sat on his left and right, while Wang Mengde and Sha Zhu could only sit at the bottom.

As for Ran Xiaomei, He Shengnan and several children, they brought the food to Sha Zhu's house and ate with Yu Li and He Yushui.

"Wow, you don't even need to taste this dish. Just looking at its color and aroma, it proves that Brother He's cooking skills are definitely not bad. He's cooking skills are comparable to those of many chefs at big restaurants."

Dai Botao looked at the table full of delicious dishes and couldn't help but praise them.

“That’s right, if the time wasn’t so short, many of my signature dishes wouldn’t be ready.

But these dishes are worth seeing, especially the meat, which is very good and fresh. Good ingredients make dishes taste better. "

Sha Zhu boasted without any hesitation.

After tasting the twice-cooked pork, Liang Mancang and Dai Botao looked up in surprise and looked at each other.

Both of them had some ideas in their minds.

"Brother He, you have such cooking skills, but you only get 37.5 yuan a month in the steel mill. It's totally a waste of your talent. So, if you come to work in my company, I guarantee that you can get more than yuan a month.

As for the steel mill, you don't have to worry. All the relevant procedures will be arranged for you.

If your wife wants to go to work, I can also arrange for her to work as a temporary worker in the company, so that you can have two working people in your family in the future."

Dai Botao couldn't help but take the lead in recruiting.

Although their unit is one of the most important units in the city, the skills of the chefs there are not that good. It can even be said that the difference is huge.

At the same time, I also feel a little contempt for the leaders of the steel rolling mill. They don't treat such outstanding talents well, and they are not afraid of being poached.

"Haha, Brother Dai, thank you for your kindness, but the steel mill is close to home, so I won't go."

Sha Zhu picked up the wine glass and said to Dai Botao embarrassedly.

He didn't really care about the amount of his salary. Every month he worked as a cook for someone outside, and by just working for a few days he could earn money almost as much as his salary.

Moreover, the senior boss would recruit him from time to time and want him to be a full-time chef in his home.

Not only was the salary high, the working hours were flexible, and there was a certain status, but he rejected them all.

"That's a shame. If you change your mind later, you can always come to my workplace to find me."

Dai Botao said with some regret.

In the morning, they chatted together and got to know each other a little bit.

After having enough wine and food.

Sha Zhu drank a little too much, so he went home to rest.

Liang Mancang and Dai Botao, on the other hand, were well-tested. Although each of them drank more than a pound of liquor, they were still clear-headed.

As for Wang Mengde, he didn't feel anything. If he didn't want to get drunk, he could just keep drinking.

"Meng De, I brought back some local specialties from the Northeast this time, just right as gifts for the children."

Liang Mancang said with a smile.

As he said this, he began to take things out of the rectangular package he had brought with him.

“These are three ginsengs that have been dried. Two of them weigh two taels, which are rare and exquisite.

The remaining one weighs more than 13 grams, and the total length from the stem base to the root tip is centimeters. When the fresh ginseng was just picked, it weighed about grams.

It was brought out from the primeval forest at the southern foot of Changbai Mountain by a mountaineer who has been collecting ginseng for many years. It took him half a month to do so.”

Wang Mengde carefully opened the longest box and took a closer look.

I saw a ginseng that was more than one meter long, yellow-white in color, and shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings, lying quietly in the box.

"Brother Liang, this is too expensive. I can't accept it."

After looking at it for a long time, Wang Mengde closed the box reluctantly and said.

Not to mention the previous life, even in this era, this kind of ginseng is rare in the country.

Just by looking at the weight, length and shape, he knew that this ginseng was at least two hundred and fifty years old. Although he wouldn't say it was the best in the country, it was certainly a rare treasure.

In the hands of a truly capable Chinese medicine doctor, this can be a life-saving trick at a critical moment.

Of course, if you meet someone who doesn't know the business, it can become a fatal poison.

"Haha, Meng De, just take it without worry. This thing may be very rare in other places, but in the Northeast, there are too many of them.

In addition to the one I gave you, I also brought back three similar ones this time, which I plan to give to some old leaders.

Besides, this is for the child, you are just keeping it for him."

Liang Mancang explained with a smile.

He is now in the Northeast, a powerful figure, so it is easy for him to get these local specialties.

“By the way, I also brought some deer antlers and bear gall.

As for bears, even though they are tall and fat, except for their gallbladder, paws and skin, the rest of their meat is simply inedible. "

Finally, Wang Mengde couldn't persuade him and had to hand over these things.

Of course, when Liang Mancang and Dai Botao left, he also gave them dozens of bottles of "Palace Emperor Pills".

In the evening, I went out.

Lean back in the car seat.

Dai Botao joked with a half-smile: "Lao Liang, you've spent a lot of money this time. As a comrade-in-arms and friend for so many years, I have never seen these good things."

"Hahaha, Lao Dai, our friendship doesn't need to be maintained with these things.

Wang Mengde is worth the investment. This relationship must be well maintained. It may be of great use in the future."

Liang Mancang did not hide it and directly expressed his thoughts:
"By the way, didn't you get his brother-in-law to work for you? With this relationship, you don't have to worry at all."

Early July.

The sun is like fire.

In Tiangezhuang, Wang Mengde sat under the shade of a tree outside the yard, fanning his grandmother Wang Tian with a fan and listening to her chatter happily.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Meng De, let me tell you, the person Meng Qi found is really hardworking and has a good temper. We will definitely live a good life in the future.

She helps take care of our vegetable garden. Look how well the cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers are growing. Take some with you when you go back."

Wang Tian said in a low voice with a smile on her face.

Today is the day that Old Wang’s family and Uncle Qin’s family have agreed to meet.

For this day, Wang Jinghui and Wang Tianshi specifically asked Wang Mengde to come back on this day.

Having a capable person to accompany you at home will also give you face in front of your future in-laws.

"Grandma, you are so lucky. You don't have to do it yourself anymore."

Wang Mengde also said with a smile.

"Oh, that won't work. I've been busy all my life. If I take some time off, I'll get sick."

Wang Tian shook her head.

After being taken care of by Wang Mengde, her body is much stronger than those of her peers.

Even though he is almost eighty years old, he can still grow vegetables in the garden, and even do laundry and cook.

at this time.

A few people came over from the village entrance.

Watching from afar, Wang Mengqi was accompanying a few people, when Uncle Qin and his family came over.

Hearing the noise, Wang Ning, Zhou Tingting and Wang Mengwei also walked out of the yard.

The two families had met each other before, and this year Qin Jingru even spent more time at Wang's house than at her own home.

However, this is a formal meeting between the two families, so all the necessary etiquette must be followed.

When they arrived in the living room, they exchanged a few words and then sat on the bench.

Wang Mengqi rushed to the yard with a grin on his face and took out a big watermelon from the water tank. This was brought by Wang Mengde this morning.

Qin Jingru hid behind her parents, eating watermelon and observing Wang Mengde curiously.

She had heard from her boyfriend a long time ago that this cousin was very capable.

Not only is he a doctor in the capital with superb medical skills, he also has a wide network of contacts.

It was he who helped to find the job for the target. With just one word, the deputy director of Shahe Meat Processing Plant arranged the matter personally.

Wang Mengde naturally also noticed Qin Jingru's gaze.

He had no objection to his cousin marrying the female supporting actress in the original drama, and was even happy to see it. He could only say that his cousin would be blessed in the future.

At noon, at the dinner table.

The parents of both sides immediately decided on the wedding date for the two young people, which would be the beginning of next spring.

Although they have not reached the legal age, this kind of thing is very normal in rural areas and it doesn’t matter whether they get a certificate or not.

There are no conditions. On the wedding day, the girl will go directly to the boy's house with a package, and they will be considered husband and wife.

If you have the means, you can invite your relatives and friends to have a simple meal at home, which can also be considered a ceremony.

Uncle Qin and his wife are extremely satisfied with their future son-in-law.

Wang Mengqi is a formal worker at the meat processing plant and eats state-owned commercial grain.

Anyone who has experienced difficult times knows the weight of this.

Moreover, my daughter would bring good things home every now and then, including 20 kilograms of corn flour and 2 taels of sesame oil every month.

If Wang Jinghui hadn't insisted on getting married next year, they would even send their daughter over tomorrow.

Guanganmen Hospital.

In the consulting room.

Wang Mengde took the pulse of the patient in front of him and asked a few questions from time to time.

After a while, he smiled and said:

"You are recovering well. I will prescribe a few more medicines for you to take. After you return home, you must continue to do rehabilitation exercises.

As long as I stick with it, I won’t be able to fully recover, but in a few months I will be able to take care of myself.”

The patient in front of me suddenly suffered a stroke a month ago.

After treatment in other hospitals failed, he was recommended by the doctor of that hospital to Guang'anmen Hospital, where Wang Mengde happened to be testing the efficacy of the "beggar version" of Angong Niuhuang Pills.

After more than two weeks of trial treatment, the patient was able to stand up and speak with difficulty.

"Thank you, Doctor Wang. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do."

The middle-aged woman next to the patient said with gratitude.

Their family is of average financial situation. Usually, the husband is the only one who works to support the family, and their three children are still in school.

The sudden incident almost crushed the whole family.

Although the factory was willing to let her take over, she would not be able to leave home to work if her husband was unable to take care of himself.

At that time, the eldest child in the family will have to drop out of school and go home.

Just when Wang Mengde was busy testing the efficacy of the beggar's version of Angong Niuhuang Pills.

Abroad, there was also an undercurrent of excitement because he was selected as one of the five people for the Nobel Prize.

The capital of Big Brother North.

In a palace, Chekovsky stood there with a nervous look on his face, answering questions from the boss above.

"Comrade Chekovsky, there is an important task that needs you to complete. Are you willing?"

"I am willing."

"Great, the mission is that the 'Swallow Organization' has obtained an important intelligence, which is that the United States is preparing to take action against a doctor from China.

This doctor is an old acquaintance of yours, named Meng De Wang, so you will be the one to carry out the task of 'the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind'."

The big man said slowly:

"Remember, the best outcome is to 'invite' this person to our country. Then, you will be a great contributor to the country.

If we can’t accomplish it, then let’s destroy it. We can’t let our competitors get what we can’t get.”
