At noon on Monday, Jiang Chen asked Lin Fengmao to invite the village head, Lin Tongxian, to his house for lunch.
After three rounds of drinking, Lin Fengmao mentioned that Jiang Kevin wanted to contract the barren hills outside the village.
Lin Que's chopsticks stopped in mid-air as he looked at Jiang Kevin in surprise. "Contracting a barren mountain?"
Jiang Chen nodded his head as he poured Lin Tongyi's glass full.
Lin Tong Shan put down his chopsticks, frowned and asked: "Have you thought it through? Contracting the barren hills was not an easy thing to do. "Don't just watch others contract and earn money, just think that they're earning money."
In the mountains near them, there weren't many things that could be sold for money. There were many trees, but the law forbade them to be felled. Of course, if it was only for their own use and if they were to cut one or two, it would not matter if the villagers didn't see them. If he were to cut them down and sell them, something would happen sooner or later.
Last year, in Zhang Yongping's village, there was a person who had secretly cut down a barren mountain while hoping to get lucky. After being captured, he was sentenced to ten years in prison.
In addition, the government had not allowed people to hunt freely for years, so there were more and more wild animals in the mountain. A few years ago, there were some wild boars that were harming people in their village.
This was only a wild boar, and at the beginning of the year, there were also wild wolves that attacked livestock in the neighboring town.
Thus, unless one was extremely prepared, no one would dare to contract a barren mountain. This was because no one knew when this wild boar would descend the mountain.
It was too dangerous!
Jiang Chen nodded, "Uncle, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I've already thought it through. Wild boar and wild wolf, I'm not afraid, I'm afraid that the villagers will not agree to my contract. I'll need your help in this aspect. "
Seeing that Jiang Kevin was adamant on not speaking any further, Lin Tong could tell. Since Lin Fengmao was with him, his family would definitely agree to this matter. He did not need to be a vile character in vain.
Moreover, contracting out the barren hills was the same as paying the village rent, and the money was given to the villagers. Currently, there was no one who hired the Desolate Mountain. As long as they left it open, they might as well rent it to some bold people.
With that in mind, Lin Congshan picked up his chopsticks again. "Sure, I'll take care of this matter. I don't think there'll be any problems."
When Jiang Kevin heard this, he felt relieved. He picked up his drink and said, "Thank you for your trouble. Let me toast you."
After going through the ups and downs of buying a house, Lin Fengmao was very worried that someone would use this matter to add insult to injury to Jiang Kevin.
He really had guessed it. Because of the matter of buying a house, the family that had a feud with Jiang Kevin, Lin Fengmao, jumped up and down to persuade the villagers not to agree to this matter.
Later, when there were very few responses, he said that Jiang Kevin had given too little money and had to increase the price.
This time, due to their interest, there were people who were incited by them. However, before they could even mature, they were extinguished.
Jiang Kevin personally went to the village board to broadcast the news on the loudspeaker. It meant that if everyone did not want her to contract the contract, it was fine. She could do it to either Zhang Jia Village or Guo Jia Village.
When these words were spoken, the people who had been incited to do so felt a bucket of cold water being poured over their heads.
The barren hills of their village were the same as the other villages; there was nothing special about them. There were even many hawthorn trees in the barren hills of the Zhang family village. If it were not for the fact that Uncle Jiang Kevin and the others were living here, Jiang Kevin would not have contracted this place.
If Jiang Kevin did not contract, would there be anyone else?
The answer was, of course not.
If anyone in the village wanted to contract a contract, they would have done so a long time ago.
The mountain to the south of the village was filled with wild chestnut trees, which was why the southerners had made such a hard contract.
However, the barren mountain that Jiang Kevin wanted to contract was just an ordinary tree. There was no development prospects and no one from the village would contract it.
Now, from the looks of it, the person, Jiang Kevin, was here to give them money. If he did not contract with Jiang Kevin, he would be pushing the money out. What was wrong with that.
By the time the village committee called a general assembly on Wednesday, almost everyone raised their hands in agreement.
Just like that, Jiang Kevin easily obtained the contracting authority in the Desolate Mountain area and announced on the spot that he would pay the contract fee of three hundred thousand yuan for fifty years.
This time, the villagers were in an uproar. They no longer had any complaints about Jiang Kevin contracting in the barren mountains.
After all, the fees were going to be given to the village, and in the end, it would definitely be given to the villagers.
There were only four to five hundred people in the entire village. According to the number of people, each person would have about six or seven hundred. There were six people in the village, and each family was worth more than four thousand dollars.
Perhaps this small amount of money did not seem like much to those in wealthy areas, but it was definitely not small in the Lin Family Village, not to mention the fact that they got it for free.
How could they not be excited?
After signing the contract with the village, in public, Jiang Kevin took out the 300,000 yuan he had just taken out from the bank and placed it on the table.
This move made it difficult for the village chief, Lin Xiangshan, to see the money. Although his family received a lot of money, he had the intention of using it to repair his ruined road.
However, when they saw the wistful look in the villagers' eyes, they finally decided to split the money among them.
"Don't be in such a hurry everyone, let's split the money today."
"Oh yeah!"
The Lin Family Village was too small. Other than the village head, Lin Tong Shan, there was also a female chief, who did not even have an accountant.
Jiang Chen had no choice but to stay and help Lin Tong pay the bill.
The matter that had Lin Tong in a fluster was settled in Jiang Kevin's hands. Counting money, signing, printing, methodical.
Very soon, everyone except for the few households that were not home received their money in full.
Jiang Chen handed the rest of the money to Lin Xiangshan before he returned to Lin Fengmao's house.
"Uncle, this is our family's money, you can't say that you don't want it." Jiang Kevin first stopped talking.
Lin Fengmao happily received it, "Don't worry, this is the money that we deserve."
He wasn't being hypocritical.
After signing a contract with the village, Jiang Kevin went to the town. In order to contract Mount Desolation, in addition to signing a contract with the village, one also had to sign with the town.
Originally, Lin Fengmao was afraid of the Town Security, but he didn't expect that after going there, the staff who handled this matter would be especially enthusiastic. After some inquiry, he found out that the new mayor, in order to expand the value of the town, had given special instructions to encourage the farmers of the town to develop the barren hills without affecting the environment.
It was always a sentence. It just so happened that Jiang Kevin came at a good time.
If it were any other time, you wouldn't be able to do it within ten to fifteen days without a card.
Up to this point, Desolate Mountain officially belonged to Jiang Kevin.
When she thought of this, she could not help but reveal a smile.
On the third day of the second day, Jiang Kevin continued to climb the mountain as usual. He would eat his rations at noon and would only return to the Lin Family for lunch with them in the morning.
After a few days, the Lin Clan started to grow worried.
Even though she was contracted to such a large mountain, she still didn't show any signs of movement. All she could see was her running up the mountain all day. It couldn't be that the reason why the contract cost so much money was for a number of legitimate places.
Jiang Chen could see the worry in the Lin Family members' eyes. He came back with a small basket on his back.
Guo Caiyun helped her carry the basket to the kitchen.
At dinner time, Linde picked up a mushroom and put it in his mouth. He chewed it a few times. If even someone as eloquent as Linde was acting this way, there was no need to talk about others.
After the meal, Nie Caijin couldn't help asking, "Wenwen, Grandma wants to ask, what do you want to do with the mountains?" If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it. "
Lin Fengmao wiped the last bit of soup clean with a steamed bun and said, "You have already eaten."
"Huh?" The four Lin Clan members were stunned.
Seeing that they did not understand, Jiang Kevin explained, "The mushrooms you all eat are the fruits of my hard work during this period of time."
Guo Caiyun was suddenly enlightened, "Wen Wen, are you trying to sell wild mushrooms?"
Jiang Chen nodded and gave her a thumbs up.
Guo Caiyun didn't expect her casual words to be accurate.
Lin Fengmao lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and took a drag. His eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't say anything.
Linder started to say something, then remembered what had happened and shut up.
Fallen Leaf Mountain was extremely vast, but very few people had the guts to enter. In terms of the surrounding mountains, there really weren't any famous or expensive wild mushrooms.
Of course, for ordinary villagers, picking some wild mushrooms to sell would be a great way to subsidize their families. However, that was an unprofitable business. No matter how much money they earned, they would always earn.
But Jiang Chen was different. She had truly invested three hundred thousand.
Picking up wild mushrooms can earn three hundred thousand?
There aren't so many mushrooms for you to pick.
Jiang Chen did not say much. He went to the kitchen and took the remaining mushrooms and placed them on the table.
When the Lin Family looked over, they saw the mushroom on the table had an irregular circular cover. There were many pits on the surface of the cover that were light yellow-brown in color, and the handle on the bottom was white, making the entire mushroom look like a sheep's belly.
"Isn't this the tripe?" Linde frowned. He had seen this type of mushroom before, although not often.
The other members of the Lin Clan also nodded their heads in agreement.
Back in those difficult times, even when his life was threatened by wild beasts, he had still gone to the distant mountains to look for food. Mushrooms were one of the easier to find, and occasionally he would find this kind of mushroom that looked like a sheep's belly. After eating, he found out that it was much more delicious than other mushrooms, but it was just too difficult to find.
Jiang Chen picked one up and placed it in his palm. He looked up and said with a smile, "Then do you know how much this belly dish is worth?"
The four members of the Lin Clan shook their heads.
Because this item was too rare, he would only be able to find one or two if he found one. There was no value in selling them.
Jiang Chen stretched out his palm and stretched out his five fingers. He waved them in front of the members of the Lin Clan's eyes and said, "Five hundred a kilogram."
"What?" Linder didn't believe him at all. "You didn't say one more zero, did you?"
Lin Fengmao pulled his father, turned his head and asked, "Wenwen, did you say it was dried?"
Jiang Chen retracted his three fingers and said, "The least dry one would be at least four thousand."
Clang!
Looking in the direction of the voice, Guo Caiyun, who had cleaned up the table, threw the bowl away.
At this moment, she did not notice the fact that her bowl had fallen. She stared straight at Jiang Kevin and her lips began to quiver. "We've eaten more than a thousand for this meal …"
Their families were all big eaters, so when they were being fried, the dishes would be served on plates and the dishes would be filled in basins. This pot of stir-fried mushrooms required no less than two catties, which was one kilogram. There was also a bowl of chicken stewed with mushrooms, and it weighed another two catties …
Jiang Chen nodded. She did not mention it at all. The prices she had previously mentioned were all for breeding. The prices she offered were much higher in the wild.
At this moment, Lin Fengmao had the urge to puke out everything he had eaten. Ah, ah, a thousand yuan was eaten by him just like that. How unreconciled!
