030. Why Aren't We from the Dragon Country?
After sorting out his future plans, Lin Hao walked out of the room.
The huge pit on the mountain in front of the village had been buried, and a group of villagers were moving the boundary marker behind the village.
The side engraved with the three countries was turned around, revealing the words "Dragon Country Border".
Mengyao Bai stood in front of a live stream car that could receive signals and made a call.
Lin Hao also walked over and called the familiar boss of the construction team.
Lin Hao went straight to the point when the call went through.
"Old Zhang, I have a poverty relief project in my hands. Do you have time to come over and do it?”
Old Zhang's voice came from the phone.
"Of course, no problem. Only the labor or the materials? When do we start? I'll arrange for the manpower."
Lin Hao replied.
"I'll give you all the materials. The price will be the same as the price you used to pay for the government projects."
Before Lin Hao could finish, Old Zhang's exclamation came from the phone.
"All the materials? As long as the payment is fine, I'll give you 10% of the total price.”
Hearing this, Lin Hao knew that Old Zhang must have misunderstood.
"Let me finish. This project is my own, not a government project.”
"The construction site is at the border of the three countries, building houses and roads for the people of the three countries to help the poor.”
"It might be a little troublesome without the permission of the local authorities. Think about it. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else.”
Elder Zhang was confused by Lin Hao's explanation.
"Helping the poor at the borders of the Three Kingdoms? You've always been in charge of helping the poor in our country. Why did you go to the Three Kingdoms?”
"This is considered a cross-border project, and it doesn't have the permission of the local authorities.”
Lin Hao directly explained the whole process to Old Zhang.
"Those people are from our Dragon Country. How can we ignore them?”
After hearing Lin Hao's explanation, Old Zhang, who was on the other end of the phone, fell silent for a moment.
"That village is only a few hundred meters away from the border. If there's any danger, they can immediately run back to our country, right?”
Lin Hao confirmed with Old Zhang.
"That's right! There was a high chance that there would be no danger, and the possibility of an accident was very small.”
"The materials and equipment have to be shipped from the country, at most 300 meters from the border.”
Old Zhang gritted his teeth.
"Leader Xiao Lin, I admire you for helping the descendants of the Tang Dynasty heroes.”
"Although Old Zhang is just a small contractor and doesn't have as much ability as you, he's not a coward.”
"The price is 15% lower than the domestic price. I'll bring people over tomorrow to inspect and sign the contract to prepare for the start of construction.”
Lin Hao was in a good mood after settling the construction candidates.
"There's no need to lower the price.”
"The brothers of the migrant workers go out to work to earn money to support their families.”
"It's only right for them to take the risk to work overseas.”
Old Zhang did not decline.
"Alright, I'll thank you on behalf of my brothers. Give the extra money to them!”
"I was worried that no one would be willing to work overseas. With this extra money, I don't have to worry.”
...
Lin Hao hung up the phone after settling some project matters with Old Zhang.
Mengyao Bai was still on the phone, and the villagers had lit a bonfire not far away. The slaughtered cows and sheep were already put up, and it seemed like they were ready to celebrate.
Lin Hao didn't stop the villagers from being so extravagant.
Today was a day worth celebrating and remembering. It was not too much to be extravagant once.
At this moment, Lin Hao saw a few people who shouldn't be here.
The interview team members who had left earlier walked into the village in a sorry state.
Lin Hao asked with a puzzled expression.
"Didn't you guys leave? Why are you back?"
The staff member's face was filled with embarrassment.
"After walking for more than ten kilometers, we seemed to have heard wolves howling and did not dare to walk anymore.”
"Can you drive us?"
After hearing the staff member's explanation, Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh.
This place was at least 40 to 50 kilometers away from the cement roads in China. It would take a day to walk.
"No problem. You guys stay here first. I'll pull you away when I leave.”
The staff thanked him profusely.
"Thank you, thank you."
A staff member's stomach growled and he licked his lips.
"We're a little thirsty. Can we have some water?”
Lin Hao pointed at the butter tea and tsamba that the villagers brought over.
"Only this. If you don't mind, eat and drink a little. There will be food later.”
At this moment, the few staff members no longer looked down on the villagers 'food.
They didn't wash their hands. They poured a few cups of butter tea and started eating the tsamba with their hands.
After walking for more than 20 kilometers, she was tired and hungry.
All his problems had been cured.
Lin Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw the staff wolfing down their food.
It was too much of a slap in the face!
The sun was setting in the west. The cattle and sheep on the bonfire were sizzling with oil, and they were covered with all kinds of local spices.
All the villagers walked out of their houses and sat around the bonfire to wait.
The children couldn't help but drool. They wanted to reach out and grab a piece of tempting roasted meat to taste, but they were stopped by the adults.
The honored guest had not eaten first, so the host could not eat.
Bottles of highland rape wine, which he usually treasured and could not bear to drink, were also taken out to enrich this feast.
Uncle Hari, who had been waiting for a long time, invited Mengyao after she finished the call.
"The food is ready. Please come with me to enjoy it!”
A few staff members looked at the roasted meat in the distance awkwardly and swallowed their saliva. The villagers did not invite them at all.
After hanging up the phone, Mengyao Bai first accepted Uncle Hari's invitation and then said to the staff.
"The leader of our unit has been suspended. The new leader did not blame us for coming here for a live broadcast interview.”
"Get the live broadcast equipment ready first. Let the netizens who like our news experience the customs of the border banquet.”
"Then, everyone will taste the sumptuous food that the villagers have prepared for us.”
The staff were first surprised by the suspension of the unit leader, then they were pleasantly surprised.
It was great that the new leader did not hold them accountable and they could still eat delicious roasted meat.
The staff was busy adjusting the equipment, and Lin Hao and Bai Mengyao were brought to sit beside the bonfire.
The two of them sat in the main seat. Beside them sat Uncle Ha Ri, and on the other side was a stranger.
Uncle Ha Ri introduced with a smile.
"Leader Xiao Lin, this is my brother-in-law, Lang Ri from the neighboring village. He happened to pass by herding cows, so he followed the fragrance.”
"This is Leader Xiao Lin. The Dragon Country sent him to help us with poverty.”
Lin Hao casually greeted Lang Ri and considered them acquaintances.
At this moment, the live broadcast equipment had been debugged, and netizens entered the live broadcast room one after another.
A bonfire barbecue feast was displayed in front of the netizens.
"Is this roasted whole cow and roasted whole lamb? It smells so good!"
"I'm so hungry that I'm crying. If I have the chance, I'll definitely try the roasted whole lamb.”
"Isn't this village very poor? Why did they suddenly hold such a lavish banquet?”
"The poor also have their New Year. Lin Hao promised to help them, so he definitely has to bring out the best things to celebrate.”
"Seeing these people happy, I'm also happy for them. I hope they can help the poor!”
......
The fattest part of the cow was cut off and placed in front of Lin Hao and Bai Mengyao.
The two of them did not stand on ceremony and started eating.
The cattle and sheep raised on the border drank mountain spring water every day and ate all kinds of weeds and even herbs. They were exceptionally delicious and did not have a trace of fishy smell.
The villagers 'ancestral roasting methods, coupled with various natural and wild spices, made the meat even more delicious.
While Lin Hao ate the meat, he did not forget to accept the villagers 'toasts.
Cup after cup of highland rape wine went down his throat like drinking water.
The villagers admired his alcohol tolerance even more.
A few media workers did not mind the villagers being dirty. They ate big mouthfuls of meat and drank a glass of highland wine from time to time.
This scene made the netizens who had watched the live broadcast before unable to help but mock.
"When these grandsons entered the village, the villagers didn't drink the toast. Why are they drinking now?”
"How much you despised the villagers before, now you're eating as much as you like. It's so delicious!”
"He was a grandson before, but now he's finally like a human.”
"The roasted meat and highland highland wine are so fragrant. I'm crying when I look at the instant noodles in front of me.”
......
In a short while, the roasted meat was paired with good wine, and many villagers drank it to their hearts 'content.
Uncle Hari stood up and sang a folk song of the border, while the young women in the village danced around the bonfire.
Uncle Ha Ri's voice was deep and full of vicissitudes, with a unique flavor.
Although the young women's dance was not very orderly, it was full of an attractive exotic style.
The singing and the sound of alcohol made the atmosphere reach a climax.
The elders in the village were tongue-tied. They trembled as they warned the children that they had been from the Dragon Country for generations.
The women looked forward to discussing the beautiful days after building a new house.
The children compared themselves with each other. When they went to school, their grades would definitely be the first.
Such a scene was like a painting of a prosperous country and peaceful people!
Uncle Hari, who was drunk, cried and laughed at times. From time to time, he would even show off to his brother-in-law in the neighboring village.
"The people of Gangga Village are all from the Dragon Country, understand?”
"Helping the poor? Do you know how to help the poor? New houses, road repairs, children can go to school, a life we didn't even dare to dream of before.”
"We are the descendants of Wang Xuance, the hero of the Tang Dynasty. I want to change the child's name.”
"That stone stands behind our village. We are from the Dragon Country.”
"Whoever dares to say that we're not from the Dragon Country, we'll fight him to the death!”
......
When Uncle Hari was drunk and sleeping on the ground, he was still mumbling the words "Dragon Country".
His brother-in-law looked at the boundary stone behind the village and fell into deep thought.
If Gangga Village is a Dragon Country, then we can't be a Dragon Country?
Why?
Lin Hao and the villagers knew nothing about this.
