Chapter 25: Lao Li, do you want ginseng?

"Li Mu, let me formally introduce you to Comrade Jiang Ruonan, who is from the Forestry Police Bureau of the Provincial Department."

In the yard, Li Mu moved two small square tables and everyone sat around them.

Zhao Jianguo took a sip of water and said, "Tsk, not bad, you added honey? As you know, poaching activities have been on the rise recently, and police patrols have been increased in major forest areas."

"You have so many protected animals in this forest area, and the higher-ups attach great importance to it, so they sent Comrade Jiang Ruonan down to help us work together."

"Although Xiao Jiang is as young as you and just graduated, she caught two poaching gangs during her internship."

When Li Mu heard this, he glanced at Jiang Ruonan who was sitting opposite him.

She sat upright, as if listening carefully to her leader's speech, but her lifeless eyes showed that she had already been daydreaming.

Li Mu quietly kicked her under the table.

Jiang Ruonan immediately returned to her original position, "You are too polite, sir. As a forest police officer, it is my duty to protect wild animals. The crackdown on poaching gangs is not my own achievement. It is the superiors who are in overall command. I am just helping out."

Li Mu felt like laughing when he saw Jiang Ruonan suddenly becoming so serious.

Is this still the wind-like woman being chased by a wild boar?
Zhao Jianguo raised his eyebrows and said, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't be so modest. You destroyed two poaching gangs during your internship as a forest police officer. You are much better than the veterans who have been working for many years."

Zhao Jianguo meant what he said. The poaching gangs were not good people at all and would do anything for money.

"We are just standing on the shoulders of our predecessors. The worst and most difficult period of poaching has been overcome by your generation."

Zhao Jianguo grinned, picked up the cup and took a big sip.

Obviously, he was very happy to hear Jiang Ruonan's words, and the younger generation did not forget the contributions of their predecessors.

Zhao Jianguo looked at the two young men in front of him, and for the first time he felt old.

The future world will rely on young people to take the lead.

Li Mu secretly glanced at Jiang Ruonan again. As expected of someone from the provincial department, she could make the leader happy with just one sentence.

The aho hair on her head swayed in the wind.

Li Mu was a little suspicious. Was this the same Jiang Ruonan in the woods?

"Okay, Comrade Li Mu, we've seen the golden eagle, and the animals are all in good condition. We have nothing else to do, so we'll leave now."

After having lunch in the courtyard, Zhao Jianguo led a group of staff out of the courtyard.

There is a lot of work in the bureau, otherwise Zhao Jianguo would be happy to stay in this beautiful courtyard for a while.

"Please clean up a room for Xiao Jiang. Xiao Jiang will temporarily live in the forest protection yard. You two will work together in the future."

"Okay, Uncle Zhao."

His forest was designated as a key protection area, so the superiors sent Jiang Ruonan down, and the two of them patrolled the forest together from then on.

Jiang Ruonan's luggage was still in the hotel. She wanted to go back with Zhao Jianguo's car and come back after getting her luggage.

"Oh, that's right."

Jiang Ruonan seemed to remember something before getting on the car.

He reached into her backpack and fumbled around for a while, then pulled out a yellow-white thing that looked like a carrot.

"Director Zhao, I was strolling in the woods and picked up a ginseng seed."

“Is this ginseng?”

Zhao Jianguo took it and looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed ginseng.

"Where did you pick it up?"

Zhao Jianguo was a little surprised. Most of the Shiwanda Mountains were virgin forests, and the ginseng in these forests were all wild ginseng, which was extremely valuable and was also a plant protected by the state.

"It's in the woods over there. I picked it up from the ground."

Jiang Ruonan felt a little uncomfortable. She certainly couldn't say that this was snatched from a wild boar's mouth and that she was chased for several miles.

Zhao Jianguo looked at the ginseng in his hand repeatedly and did not notice her expression.

"What a pity! This must have been dug out by a wild boar, and its whiskers are all broken in the soil."

Zhao Jianguo felt a little distressed. The more complete the ginseng whiskers were, the higher its value would be, but wild boars didn't care about that.

"How do you know it's a wild boar?"

Jiang Ruonan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Mu, who was still standing at the gate of the courtyard, watching them get into the car.

Could it be that this guy told Director Zhao about me being chased by a wild boar?
"I've worked in forestry all my life, can't I recognize a wild boar's bite mark?"

"Oh."

Jiang Ruonan nodded and said it was okay.

A good person was almost wrongly accused.

"What a pity! Judging from the size of the ginseng, it must be quite old. If it hadn't been bitten by the wild boar, I would have given you a bonus."

Zhao Jianguo handed the ginseng to Jiang Ruonan. "Leader, it needs to be handed in. Don't you want it?"

"You were bitten by a wild boar. Even if you hand it in to the bureau, they won't accept it. You'll have a hard job in the future, so keep it to make tea."

Zhao Jianguo looked at it with regret and got in the car.

Jiang Ruonan stared blankly at the ginseng in her hand for a while, then turned to face Li Mu.

"Old Li, do you want some ginseng?"

"what?"

Li Mu was stunned as he watched the convoy. Ginseng?

Jiang Ruonan took a few steps with her long legs and walked up to Li Mu.

"Here's a ginseng seed. You've worked hard. Save it for tea."

After saying that, he turned around and left casually and got in the car.

Li Mu looked at the half-eaten ginseng in his hand that was still covered in dirt, feeling a little amused.

Could this be the reason why she was chased by the wild boar?
"Nimu, what are you doing?"

Yogurt looked at Li Mu squatting in the yard, washing something with a basin of water, and walked over to him and sniffed.

“I’m washing ginseng.”

"Ginseng~"

"It's a kind of medicinal herb that can be added to soup. It's very nutritious."

"Well."

"When it's done, give it to Master Yogurt to eat first."

"Okay!"

The kitten's eyes lit up.

He couldn't bear to use it to make tea as Jiang Ruonan said, it was such a waste.

He was going to use it to make soup.

This time Director Zhao came not only to see the golden eagle, but also to replenish his supplies.

Perhaps because Jiang Ruonan also moved in, there were a lot more meat and vegetables in the supplies this time. He also saw chicken mushrooms and two old hens.

They are all good ingredients for making soup, which aroused his cooking addiction.

After washing the ginseng, Li Mu got up and went to the kitchen.

Next, we need to deal with the piece that the wild boar has bitten.

He took the knife and carefully cut along the bite mark, trying to make the slice as thin as possible so as not to waste too much.

"Wow, it's so thin! Why did you throw it away?"

Mr. Yogurt watched as a thin slice of ginseng was thrown into the trash can.

"I've been bitten by a wild boar. I need to take care of it."

"Oh."

"Do you want some yogurt, Master?"

"Master Yogurt wants to try it."

Li Mu cut off a piece the size of a fingernail and fed it into Yogurt's mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"It's a bit bitter!"

The kitten chewed the yogurt and its delicate face wrinkled.

"If it doesn't taste good, spit it out."

"No."

"what happened?"

"Don't waste food. You'll be hungry when there's no food."

The kitten frowned, but still chewed it quickly and swallowed it.

"Hmm, it's not bitter anymore after I swallow it, and it tastes a little sweet."

"Mr. Yogurt is such a thrifty little cat."

Li Mu reached out and took Yogurt into his arms, "I'll make a fish for Master Yogurt tonight."
