Chapter 026
Wu Xiaobo stretched out his hand to catch the bug and said: "This is called a land bug, also called a ground beetle. In the past, this bug was everywhere, but with the expansion of the city and the improvement of civilization and hygiene, it has almost disappeared in the Shencheng area. Now,
The price of this thing is very tight, and the price of one kilogram of adult worms on the market has risen to 60 yuan, but there is still a price but no market.”
Meng Jinxing stared at the bug in Wu Xiaobo's hand and looked at it again and again, and finally said, "I have seen this bug a lot, but it seems to be called Cross Street."
Wu Han chuckled and said, "Brother Jinxing, why didn't you say it was called crossing the road?" As she spoke, she had already lifted the bowl and put all the bugs back into her pocket.
Meng Jinxing scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I feel like it, but I don't know if it is."
Wu Yaqin continued: "Xiaohan only knows one but not the other. In some places, it is indeed called crossing the street."
"That's right." Meng Jinxing patted the table, "It's very effective in promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."
Wu Xiaobo asked in surprise: "How do you know?"
"Oh, my friend and I were both injured. My colleague gave me a bottle of medicated wine, which was soaked in this bug. The effect was immediate," Meng Jinxing said.
Wu Xiaobo smiled implicitly and said: "It has a blood-activating effect, but when it comes to immediate results, it seems..."
He felt that it was common for young people to exaggerate, so he did not say anything further, saving some face for Meng Jinxing.
"It's true!" Meng Jinxing immediately told the story of his and Lei Yunyao's injuries and recovery, and then said, "...that medicinal wine is so magical!"
After hearing this, Wu Xiaobo pondered for a long time and said: "If this is true, then there must be other ingredients in the wine. Just a kind of ground turtle worm soaked in wine cannot achieve such an effect."
"It's possible." Meng Jinxing nodded.
His mind was already racing.
Wu Xiaobo has a priceless insect that can be found everywhere on the street. This is great news for him.
"Mr. Wu, do you really buy this kind of bug?" He thought about it and wanted to ask again.
"Yes, you have as much as you want, and there will only be less and less in the future." Wu Xiaobo said, looking at Meng Jinxing, and smiled, "You won't tell me that you have this kind of bug, right?"
Meng Jinxing smiled and nodded, "I really do."
"Really?" Wu Xiaobo's eyes lit up, and he immediately seemed to wake up, "There are such insects in Sangyu, right?"
"Yes." Meng Jinxing said, "I just don't know if you want it?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Xiaobo nodded repeatedly, "Oh, why didn't I think of it? It's far away, but it's so close! Director Xiao Meng, help me buy as much as you want, I'll give you 45 yuan
one kilogram!"
Wu Yaqin suddenly giggled, "Old man, you are dishonest when doing business!" She winked at Meng Jinxing and said, "Our group also purchases ground beetles, priced at 60 yuan per kilogram."
Meng Jinxing was greatly embarrassed. He did not expect that Wu Yaqin would undermine his father in this way. However, Wu Xiaobo himself did not feel dissatisfied at all and just said that girls are outgoing.
Wu Han helped Wu Yaqin to shame Wu Xiaobo, saying that doing business should be based on the same standards as being a human being.
Wu Xiaobo waved his hand and said: "You are all too young and can only see what is in front of you. What is the reason for its high price now? It is because the living environment has been destroyed. Sangyu does not have the modern buildings and roads of Shanghai, but it has the natural environment where it grows.
, but who can guarantee that this environment will last forever? Who can guarantee that everyone will not over-capture it after knowing its market value?"
When Meng Jinxing heard this, he thought of the giant salamanders raised by Lei Yunyao, and he understood Wu Xiaobo's intention. "Do you want to purchase this insect and then conduct protective breeding of this insect?"
Wu Xiaobo immediately cast an appreciative look at him, "Yes. I can invest money in Sangyu to set up a breeding base to specifically raise these medicinal insects, which have begun to disappear, and develop together with you."
"Great!" Meng Jinxing held Wu Xiaobo's hand, "If you decide to do this, I will sell it for 40 yuan per kilogram, not just 45 yuan per kilogram!"
Wu Yaqin immediately chuckled and said, "If you say this, you won't be afraid of ruining your reputation as a top student in the Economics Department of Yanda!"
"Senior, are you talking about the cost?" Meng Jinxing chuckled, "Right now, the wild ground turtle insects are sold, and the labor cost of catching them is at most 40 yuan per kilogram. As for the cultured ones, Mr. Wu himself makes a profit.
I can’t control the investment.”
"Hahaha..." Wu Xiaobo laughed, "Yaqin, this is a joke for you. The cost of breeding is also very low. This bug likes moist places, has strong reproductive and survival abilities, and can eat anything. It doesn't cost much.
The cost of breeding is low, so it is most suitable for dispersed farming in rural areas."
Meng Jinxing became excited when he heard this, "Mr. Wu, I have a heartfelt request, I hope you agree."
"If you have anything to say, just tell me." Wu Xiaobo said cheerfully.
"Why don't you invest in small businesses like breeding, and leave this opportunity to the poor folks in Guanshan Village." Meng Jinxing said, "Please teach them the breeding method. As long as you are willing to teach, we will pay you any tuition fee."
pay!"
Wu Xiaobo was shocked, and then he pressed his hand heavily on Meng Jinxing's shoulder and said, "I will teach you for free!"
"Thank you so much, Mr. Wu!"
Meng Jinxing stood up and bowed to Wu Xiaobo, but Wu Xiaobo grabbed him and said, "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it! Director Xiao Meng, I agreed because of your love for the villagers of Guanshan Village, and none of us need to thank anyone!"
Wu Yaqin was a little moved, and Wu Han even said: "Brother Jinxing, you are so great!"
Meng Jinxing was embarrassed by the little girl's praise and kept scratching his head.
Wu Xiaobo suddenly remembered the medicinal wine and asked: "Director Xiao Meng..."
"Mr. Wu, just call me Xiao Meng. It would be better if you call me Jinxing!"
"Haha, okay, I'll call you Jinxing then!" Wu Xiaobo felt that he was very compatible with Meng Jinxing, "When will you have the opportunity to bring me some of the medicinal wine you just mentioned?"
Wu Xiaobo comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Whenever he encounters prescriptions that have been buried among the people, he will feel itchy and panic.
"I have it on me."
"Ah!" Wu Xiaobo's expression immediately changed to that of a child who is fascinated by the sight, his pupils dilated and radiant, "Then what are you waiting for? Show it to me quickly!"
The bottle of medicinal wine that Meng Jinxing brought with him was actually the bottle that Lei Yunyao had not used up. Meng Jinxing was originally asked to bring it to Granny Luo as a spare when he accompanied Fu Chengming and the others to visit the mountains.
However, the day before Meng Jinxing went to Dafeng Mountain, the young son of Grandma Luo and his wife, whom they had not seen for many years, suddenly came back and picked them up. In the end, he was in vain.
Wu Xiaobo's excitement infected Meng Jinxing, and he immediately put his hand into his trouser pocket, but his expression suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" The Wu family's ancestors and grandson asked at the same time.
Meng Jinxing forced out a smile in embarrassment and apologized for being dizzy, "I left my bag in the hotel, so..."
A look of disappointment immediately came to Wu Xiaobo's face. Meng Jinxing didn't want to disappoint Wu Xiaobo, so he immediately said: "I'll go back and get it for you."
"I'll go with you!" Wu Xiaobo stood up immediately. He couldn't wait for Meng Jinxing to run back and forth.
"I'll go too, I'll go too!" Wu Han immediately joined in the fun.
"Let me take you there," Wu Yaqin said, "It's so late, it's more convenient to go by car."
As she said this, she got up first, twisted her waist and walked out.
A group of four people drove straight to the Shanghai Hotel in Wu Yaqin's white Ford SUV.
All men like cars, and Meng Jinxing is no exception.
He sat in the back seat, looking at the brand-new interior and the smooth instrument panel in front of him, and his heart felt like it was crawling with biting insects.
Wu Yaqin saw Meng Jinxing's expression through the reflector, and a narrow smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, "Do you want to let it go?"
"Ah?" Meng Jinxing and Wu Xiaobo said at the same time.
The former was because Wu Yaqin was willing to let him drive.
The latter is because it is estimated that Meng Jinxing cannot drive.
"Okay!" Meng Jinxing immediately rubbed his palms and said, "I haven't touched the car for a long time since I came back from Yanjing."
"Do you have a driver's license?" Wu Xiaobo asked.
"Yes." Meng Jinxing said excitedly, "During my graduation internship, my tutor was going to take the exam and he took me with him."
While they were talking, Wu Yaqin had already pulled over and parked the car. Meng Jinxing got into the car quickly, started the car, and hit the road.
The movements that were completed in one go finally made Wu Xiaobo's heart return to its original position.
While driving, Meng Jinxing showed a rare expression of triumph, "Original imported full-time four-wheel drive SUV, V6, 4.0 engine, independent off-road beam, CIA agent car. Senior sister, you are awesome!"
"Oh, you know the car door as soon as you get started!" Wu Yaqin couldn't help but laugh, "Isn't this car good?"
"That's right!" Meng Jinxing shook his head proudly, "Before graduation, the professor introduced Ford's new car in the magazine he brought back from abroad. We were so excited after reading it! Unexpectedly, today I was asked to drive this new car.
Come on!"
"If you like it, just turn around and drive away." Wu Yaqin said casually.
Meng Jinxing was startled, and subconsciously made a sudden stop, startling the entire Wu family.
"Sorry, I was also frightened by the senior sister's words." Meng Jinxing said quickly.
Wu Xiaobo held the safety handle with both hands and curled his lips and said, "She thought the car was an eyesore, so she drove away. She is out of sight and out of mind."
"Ah?" Meng Jinxing didn't understand.
Wu Han chuckled and said: "This car was given to me by a suitor of my aunt. If my aunt doesn't want it, my family won't let it go. If my aunt can't take it away, people will come here and shed tears. If my aunt drives it, people will come here and shed tears."
Jie Tian came running to follow the car..."
"No one will think you are dumb if you don't speak." Wu Yaqin covered Wu Han's mouth to prevent her from talking any more. At the same time, she said to Meng Jinxing who was driving, "Just think of it as doing me a favor when you go back.
Let’s drive away, you’ll need to walk on the mountain road anyway.”
If you don't receive real rewards for your merits, you will be greatly favored.
Meng Jinxing could not answer.
