Hello, 1983

Victor stood up and held up the plate with black truffles: "To eat truffles, you must eat its most natural and original taste, and I will process it."

Said to be processing, in fact, it is to cut the truffle into slices and serve it directly.

Then Victor and the other three foreigners, just you and me, began to taste it carefully.

"Don't you need to dip in some sauce?" Liu Qingshan also admitted that this way of eating is indeed natural enough.

The three of them shook their heads together, and continued to chew with enjoyment on their faces, as if they were tasting the highest delicacy in the world.

Looking at the performance of these three, Liu Qingshan didn't feel that the corners of his mouth were upturned: That's right, the quality of this black truffle is definitely no problem.

Gao Wenxue looked at Victor and the others and seemed to be enjoying it. He also took a slice and put it in his mouth. As a result, he chewed with a frown. It seemed that he really couldn't enjoy this way of eating.

A few people chatted while eating, chatting about the sales of Lu writers and Gao Wenxue's books abroad.

Thanks to Victor's channel, this has achieved good results, otherwise, it is estimated that it can only be piled up in the corner of the bookstore.

Writer Lu also treated the matter of the Literary Award calmly. He was happy to win and lose, which was probably his mentality at the moment.

During this time, after a creative rest period, he was already brewing new works.

After the meal was over and the medicinal tea was brewed, Liu Qingshan turned to the topic and discussed with Victor about exporting black truffles.

Victor said: The black truffles produced here are big and taste good, not inferior to the black truffles produced by their périgord.

You know, Perigord is known as the "Truffle Kingdom".

However, the top ingredients are very particular about the origin, so the black truffles in Jiapigou cannot be sold at such a high price in the first place.

It may still be necessary to start with some relatively low-end restaurants, and gradually accumulate word of mouth before the price can go up.

As for the transportation problem, this is completely unnecessary, the truffles are well preserved, and there is no problem for a few months.

Liu Qingshan has a different view: "Victor, this cycle is too long, and it cannot maximize the benefits, which is not in line with our consistent business philosophy."

Victor also shrugged: "Liu, this is different from other products here. Those ingredients are not available there, so there is no comparison and it is easier to operate."

"And expensive ingredients like truffles, once they are found to be counterfeit, wait for the newspapers, and even Michelin-level restaurants have to be forced to close their doors."

That's it, Liu Qingshan took a sip of tea, and an idea gradually came to his mind:

"Victor, we can have a free truffle tasting party, and then mix the two truffles together for the diners to taste and identify."

Victor's eyes gradually lit up: "Oh, Liu, this is a genius idea. When the time comes, I will arrange for a few more people to mix in it."

Liu Qingshan also nodded with satisfaction: Yes, even the nurse knows how to use it, you can be considered self-taught.

This kind of hype should be very eye-catching. At that time, as long as half of the people can't tell the difference, the truffles produced in Jiapigou will definitely be worth a hundred times more.

After all, the brand Jiapigou is quite famous in Europa.

In recent years, things like monkey wine, morel mushrooms, and those artificially farmed wild animals are very popular there.

With this foundation, it will be much easier to launch the black truffles produced in Jiapigou.

The two profiteers finished their discussions, and the next day, they went up the mountain to look for truffles.

Victor also brought a camera to photograph the environment of the place of origin. Foreigners are very concerned about these.

Zhang Ganzi appeared again, this time he changed a gilt, which was also better in control.

At Victor's suggestion, Zhang Ganzi first fed a small truffle to the little sow, which immediately became full of energy when it tasted the sweetness.

Several people have been busy all day,

I dug more than ten kilograms of truffles, which is enough for the time being.

Don't worry about the rest, you can dig slowly before freezing.

Liu Qingshan also specially called the surrounding villages to set up a truffle collection team. You can explore first, find out where the truffles are hiding, and then dig out together when needed.

When excavating, it is very important that the excavated places must be backfilled at the end.

Because there is a high probability that black truffles will grow here next year, it must be protected.

In this regard, Liu Qingshan is not too worried about it. Of course, these people in the mountains know how to protect them the most.

And after years of publicity, everyone has long been conscious of protecting resources.

Ding Laohei from Dingjiagou is the most powerful. He trained his two hunting dogs to find truffles more effective than wild boars.

Dogs are more obedient than pigs. The most important thing is that dogs do not eat truffles and do not cause unnecessary consumption.

It is estimated that on Victor's side, it will take about a month to have a letter.

At that time, Liu Qingshan might have already left for Heihe, so he explained this to Grandpa Party Secretary and Uncle Captain.

As for the price, Liu Qingshan didn't worry about profiteers like Victor, so he told Grandpa Party Secretary that he would call him and let him discuss with Victor.

After enjoying a few quiet days at home, Liu Qingshan still couldn't help the county's repeated calls to urge Lu Xiaolong to drive and take him to Bishui County.

In recent years, Bishui County has not changed much. For a small county, large-scale infrastructure construction will take several years.

In the county, there are still people who commute to get off work by bicycle.

It's just that, unlike in previous years, the expressions on the faces of the cyclists are gradually differentiated.

In the past, the units were almost the same, and the difference in wages was not large. It was necessary for the poor to be poor together, so people's faces were still relatively relaxed and happy.

But in the past two years, things have changed gradually. Many units are unable to offer wages, and retired workers cannot be reimbursed for their medical expenses. The smiles on everyone's faces are not as bright as they used to be.

In today's Bishui County, the most profitable factories are all joint ventures.

Among them is the carrot juice processing factory, which is a large factory with thousands of employees in cooperation with South Korea.

Then there is the unified food factory, which is also a joint venture in the eyes of outsiders.

Taste.

Working in a joint-venture factory has strict requirements, but the salary is much higher than that of ordinary factories, and the benefits are also good. It is the most enviable unit in the county.

This kind of polarization will become more and more obvious, until the coming of the tide in the sea, like a tsunami, will completely destroy everything inherent in it.

That should be the biggest impact after the reform, people's thoughts and concepts, and even changed accordingly.

A wave of destruction and a rebirth.

Walking into the familiar gate of No. 1 Middle School, Liu Qingshan couldn't help feeling a lot in his heart.

The first stop, Liu Qingshan first went back to his alma mater in high school.

Although he didn't go to school for a few days in high school for three years, it did not affect Liu Qingshan's feelings for this place.

The busy agricultural holiday has ended, and the students have resumed school after the season change. The campus seems very quiet, only the faint sound of reading can be heard.

"What are you doing?"

The old man who guarded the door blocked his way, looked at the young man in front of him carefully, and slapped his thigh hard: "Oh, Liu Qingshan!"

"Hello, uncle." Liu Qingshan hurriedly took out a cigarette, gave one to the old man, and stuffed the rest into the old man's pocket.

He could not have imagined that after several years, people still remember him.

"Qingshan, your photo is still posted on the school's honor roll." The old man happily patted his pocket and continued:

"If someone else gives you a cigarette, you can't take it, but if it is given by Qingshan, you must put it on."

After a few chats with the old man, he learned that Principal Xu was at the school, Liu Qingshan asked Lu Xiaolong to wait at the door, and he entered the teaching building.

This is still the old building from before, it looks a little more dilapidated than before, and everything will get old.

Standing at the door of the principal's office, Liu Qingshan knocked on the door, and a familiar voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Liu Qingshan smiled and blinked before continuing to knock on the door.

"Come in, why don't you stop knocking!" The door was pulled open, revealing the face of an old man with a beard.

The bearded man was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he laughed loudly: "You kid, you know how to come back, hahaha—cough, cough!"

Xu Shi laughed a little violently, and the bearded principal coughed violently for a while, and then dragged Liu Qingshan into the room.

It can be seen that Xu Dabeard is really happy, and he poured a cup of tea for Liu Qingshan himself, and Liu Qingshan has not competed with him.

"I heard that you came back from studying abroad and stayed in school, haha, good thing, good thing." The bearded talk was quite lively.

He is also more concerned about Liu Qingshan's situation. If Liu Qingshan goes home, he will definitely go to Principal Xu's house to sit.

Liu Qingshan briefly talked about his business out of running a company, and the bearded waved his hand:

"I don't understand this either. Anyway, as long as it is your decision, I will definitely support it."

Liu Qingshan asked the school about the college entrance examination last semester, and the bearded face immediately looked relieved:

"It's not bad. The enrollment rate can also be ranked first in the region. You have laid a good foundation at that time."

"Thank you very much, Jiapigou, for so many years, the breakfast milk for the third year of high school has not been broken."

Liu Qingshan also said cheerfully: "It's all right. In our village, there are a few places for special recruits every year."

As the saying goes, there is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. Many things are mutual.

Seeing the headmaster's beard again, Liu Qingshan asked with a smile, "If you don't shave, you will either have a holiday, or there will be trouble in the school."

Xu Dahu smiled and pointed twice with his finger: "You kid, it's actually nothing. It's our teaching building, which is a little old. I am always worried about danger, so I will report to the county and build a new teaching building."

"As a result, the county said that there was no money, so I went to the county leaders every three days. I thought about it, in the past year or two, the new teaching building must be built."

"During the summer vacation this year, I even went to the province to find the original Hongqi county magistrate and asked him to help him find a way."

"It turned out that 500,000 yuan was actually obtained from the provincial finance, and the rest was called matching funds from the county. Even the county couldn't get the money, cough, cough."

The bearded principal became more and more excited, and coughed again.

Liu Qingshan happily took over the words: "I'm here, don't worry about it, I'll pay the remaining funds for this teaching building."

A light flashed in the bearded eyes: "Qingshan, this is a lot of money!"

For ordinary people, this is of course a lot of money, but Liu Qingshan can still spend the money to build a teaching building.

When he went upstairs, he already had this plan in his heart, and it was right to make some contribution to his alma mater.

"Principal Xu, my current economic level can still bear it." Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded to the principal.

Hearing what he said, the bearded principal immediately laughed happily:

"Qingshan, then I'm welcome, haha, good boy, good boy, cough..."

Smiling, he coughed again.

Liu Qingshan couldn't help frowning secretly, thinking about it and saying, "Principal, why don't you invite the other leaders and let's study together?"

"Okay, we have to hurry up on this matter." The bearded principal ran out of the house immediately.

And Liu Qingshan also acted immediately, rushed to the front of Principal Xu's desk, and began to turn over the drawer.

This is the kind of old-fashioned solid wood desk, commonly known as one-end heavy, with three drawers on it, the middle is large, and the drawers on both sides are slightly smaller.

Liu Qingshan flipped through the three drawers on the top, but didn't find what he wanted.

So he squatted down again and rummaged through the sinking little cabinet.

The bearded principal was in a hurry just now, so the key was slumped on the lock of the desk, and Liu Qingshan quickly opened it.

Inside is a chest X-ray taken. Liu Qingshan is not a doctor. Of course, he can't understand it.

Looking at him, his body trembled suddenly: No wonder he felt like he had lost a lot of weight when he saw Principal Xu, and he kept coughing.

This kind of dry cough without phlegm, Liu Qingshan saw it once later, and that person was diagnosed with lung cancer.

Liu Qingshan's brows furrowed. He could never have imagined that Principal Xu died at an early age because of this disease. It seems that he kept it a secret.

Thinking of the bearded headmaster who was rushing to build the teaching building, Liu Qingshan felt that his eyes were a little wet.

After wiping it hard with his sleeve twice, Liu Qingshan secretly made up his mind.

"Qingshan, I'm done telling you...you!" The bearded principal trotted into the house again, and when he saw Liu Qingshan's red eyes and the diagnosis certificate in his hand, he understood everything.

He walked over silently, loaded up the films and diagnostics and stuffed it back into the locker and locked it.

Then patted Liu Qingshan on the shoulder: "Qingshan, don't tell anyone about this."

"It's life and death, just let it go. You have to help me build the teaching building. I have no regrets in my life."

Liu Qingshan gently grabbed the bearded principal's hand, skin wrapped in bones, his heart could not help but sour:

"Principal, don't worry, the teaching building will definitely be built. I'll call in a while and ask the company to call one million to the county finance first, and use the special funds."

"But your illness can also be cured. I will use a car to pull you to find my master. He must have a solution!"

Liu Qingshan didn't say anything to the bearded Principal. If he couldn't get well in the country, he would go abroad. He knew that Principal Xu would definitely be reluctant to give up the money.

At that time, I will go to the hospital in the capital to have a check-up first, and then I will have an operation if I can, and then I will undergo radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

Master, supplemented by potions, to consolidate the foundation and cultivate the vitality, and to use the two-pronged approach, at least prolong life for a few more years, it is definitely no problem.

Liu Qingshan really didn't want to lose such a respectable bearded principal.
