Zhou Man asked Luo Rui to inquire about the official affairs related to the reserve reservoir, but the official did not make a decision and was still in dispute.Zhou Man and Ying Feichi simply put aside the matter for the time being, and turned their attention to Xiao Ming's orchard.

When the flood receded and midsummer arrived, the mangoes, dragon fruits, lychees and other fruits in Xiao Ming's orchard were all ripe.Xiao Ming vowed to find sales channels by himself, but at this time, Kitemang and dragon fruit have not been accepted by ordinary consumers.Litchi can be sold, but the quality of lychees in Guanjiang Village is obviously much better than those on the market. If they are sold at the market price, consumers can accept them, but Xiao Ming cannot.Just a joke, the medicinal materials in Guanjiang Village are sold more expensive than other places of origin, why are the fruits sold at the same price?It is simply lowering the value!

Xiao Ming was worrying about the sales while holding the price, and he never let go of his brows every day.Ying Feichi looked amused, and this person didn't know what was going on, as if he was always unwilling to ask him for help.Ying Feichi saw it, but it was hard to say it clearly, but secretly informed Li Lan.

So this day, An Yong and the other three were trying to persuade Xiao Ming to go to Ying Feichi for help. If he couldn't find a market, the fruit would rot on the tree.Suddenly a middle-aged woman's voice came from outside: "Hello, is anyone home?"

Xiao Ming stood up and went to open the courtyard door, only to see a woman in a black suit standing outside, followed by five men in suits.She smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Mo Xiaokui, the deputy manager of the product department of Guanjiang Group. I heard that you have a lot of tropical fruits in your house. We want to have a look, is that okay?"

Hearing the words Guanjiang Group, Xiao Ming's expression turned dark.He didn't want to ask Ying Feichi for help, he wanted to do things with his own strength.

Mo Xiaokui has been by Li Lan's side for several years, and she is as shrewd as a bone spirit.When she saw Xiao Ming's expression, she knew what Xiao Ming was thinking. Mo Xiaokui smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Ying told the marketing department about the tropical fruit, but Guanjiang Group didn't do it for Mr. Ying. Even if Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ying talk to each other at the same time, our product department won’t want something worthless that is served by one person.”

Xiao Ming's complexion improved a bit, and he politely invited him in.

Mo Xiaokui went to the orchard after a short rest. She brought several employees who were very knowledgeable about fruits and desserts to test how this batch of fruits was.Several employees checked it very carefully, and finally got the result: the taste is very good, several times higher than that of the same fruit on the market.If it can be used to make desserts, it should be able to open a dessert shop by itself without merging with a medicinal restaurant.

After careful study, Mo Xiaokui and others wrote this suggestion into a report and handed it over to Li Lan.After deliberation by the company's management, it was finally unanimously agreed.The name of the dessert shop follows the folk route as always, it is called Guanjiang Dessert Shop, and it is located at the crossroads of the pedestrian street, where there is a lot of traffic.Li Lan found several dessert masters, and brought the fruits from Xiao Ming's orchard.

A month later, the dessert shop opened, and on the first day of opening, there was a big deal, all desserts were half price.The signboard of Guanjiang Group is well-known in the province, and many people come here admiringly and leave happily.

"According to this performance." Zhou Man looked at the report in his hand and tapped the desktop with his fingers.

Ying Feichi said: "The first year's production of Shazhouba Orchard can barely cope, and it should be able to support opening a branch in the second year, but even if the third year's production is stable, Shazhouba Orchard can't support four dessert shops. More What's more, desserts are not very popular now, and citizens don't have much time to spend on shopping. In the future, I'm afraid they can only support four stores."

That's the problem.Xiao Ming has successfully finished the orchard, what will the villagers think?Guanjiang Village can no longer expand the number of orchards.Zhou Man thought for a while and said, "Let's hold a village-wide video conference."

The meeting made the villagers a little confused, but they all concentrated before the record.

At eight o'clock in the evening, we had already eaten, and Zhou Man opened the Tongming Mirror on time: "Good evening, everyone, have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten, I've eaten." Wu Dong asked, "Aman, you asked everyone to have a meeting, what happened?"

Zhou Man smiled and said, "There is nothing else, just for the development of the village."

"Everyone knows that our village is not suitable for farming. The only wasteland that can be developed is the Shazhouba area. During the competition last year, the contract right for Shazhouba was given to Xiao Ming. Xiao Ming signed the contract for 15 years. Therefore, other methods of land reclamation are absolutely prohibited in the village now, and any method that wants to get rich by destroying the ecology is not allowed. Once we destroy the ecology and pollute or disperse the aura, the lifeblood of our village, that is, medicinal materials, It will be destroyed, and our good life for so many years can no longer continue, we can only return to the situation 90 years ago. Don’t you want to experience that kind of life without food or drink again?”

This is too serious, even if there are people who are jealous of Xiao Ming and the others who have earned a lot of money, they will definitely not dare to do anything to the mountains and forests in order to keep their current life without worrying about food and clothing.

Listening to the silence, Zhou Man said slowly: "But, we can't just rely on medicinal materials and local products to live, right. We have an old saying here, which is to think well and think well, stir-fry pork with oil. We We should not be satisfied, we must find ways to increase income.”

Ying Feichi was recording on the side, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.Zhou Man's usual style, carrots and sticks, the words he said earlier are big sticks, scaring the villagers who want to act rashly.Now these words are carrots, to appease the fearful hearts of the villagers.

Sure enough, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and Wu Dong asked on behalf of the villagers: "Aman, what are you thinking about?"

Zhou Man said with a smile: "We are about to build a drinking reservoir here. When the time comes, the river will rise, and we can directly use the waterway to go to l county or even l city by boat. In this way, we can develop tourism, do farmhouses or Resort."

"To build a drinking water reservoir?" The villagers were taken aback. "Will you not want us to move away? I heard that people are moving outside."

"We will indeed ask for relocation." Zhou Man said, "So, now everyone has two choices. One is not to accept relocation, get less compensation, stay in the village, continue to practice, and collect medicinal materials and local products every year. Maybe the resort can still earn money. Some money, but you won’t be rich, the only benefit is ease and stability. The second is to move out and follow the official arrangement. There is a high amount of compensation, and the official will arrange household registration, housing, and work. Estimate , The compensation should be enough to sell a house and two to three shops in a good location. With the shop, you can live by collecting rent every month without working.”

Immediately, someone in the village asked, "After moving out, do I still need to practice?"

"To" practice?Zhou Man and Ying Feichi looked at each other and smiled.Zhou Man replied gently: "Those who move out need to draw an erasing talisman on their body to remove their cultivation base and memory of cultivation methods, just like ordinary people."

After saying this, many people changed their faces.

If you move out, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life, but you will never have anything to do with cultivation in this life.From then on, electricity was needed for lighting, strength was needed for moving things, and transportation was needed for walking.But if you want longevity and spells, you have to work in the village every day and practice diligently every day, and you may not be able to make a fortune or become a rich man in your whole life.

What to choose?Diligence or ease?Short-lived or long-lived?Mortal or monk?A series of questions flashed through every villager's mind, and no one knew how to answer them.

Zhou Man smiled and continued: "Don't worry, everyone thinks slowly, anyway, it is not yet determined when the reservoir will be built. The fastest is three months. If it is slower, it may not be moved for more than ten years. Well, today is actually That's all, let's break up the meeting."
