When dawn broke, Lu Fan’s truckload of vegetables and peaches was sent off.
Lu Fan went to the back mountain. The small Pu’er tea tree he had planted was on the slope of the back mountain. The young tree seemed unaffected by the transplanting and remained lush and green.
“Lu Fan!” Yan Menghan and Elder Chang walked over, calling out from a distance. m..oΓg
“Brother Yan! Don’t you think my tea tree is growing very well? Haha! When I have the chance, I want to get all sorts of famous tea trees and plant them here. Then I’ll open the most awesome tea house in the country.” Lu Fan said with a hearty laugh.
“What’s so difficult about that! In less than ten days, I dare say I can get you tea trees from the top ten famous teas! Of course, they won’t be very old ones!” Yan Menghan said with a slight smile.
“What? Brother, do you have other tea trees at home?” Lu Fan asked foolishly.
“Not really! But buying a few tea saplings isn’t a problem,” Yan Menghan replied.
“That’s great! When I open my tea house, Brother can drink tea for free for life! Haha!” Lu Fan laughed.
“Lu Fan! We encountered people from the Divine Calculation Sect on the mountain last night!” Yan Menghan suddenly said.
“What? People from the Divine Calculation Sect?” Lu Fan looked at Yan Menghan in surprise. He hadn’t expected Yan Menghan to bring this up.
“Yes! That person was from the Divine Calculation Sect. However, we’ve already dealt with him!” Yan Menghan said calmly.
“Was the person you’re talking about carrying this?” Lu Fan asked, suddenly taking out a delicate small pistol. It was the same pistol the man in black had used last night.
Seeing the pistol in Lu Fan’s hand, Yan Menghan and Elder Chang’s mouths twitched slightly. Did this mean Lu Fan was also there last night?
“Yes! This is the gun that guy had. He was about to attack us, so Elder Chang took care of him,” Yan Menghan nodded and said.
“I saw this in the mountains this morning! I was wondering who would dress like they were in a movie and end up dead in the mountains.” Lu Fan fiddled with the pistol in his hand, then suddenly looked up at Yan Menghan and asked, “Brother Yan! Do you know how to use this thing? Teach me!”
“Sure! I’ll teach you! This thing is very useful for self-defense in critical moments,” Yan Menghan immediately agreed and came over to teach Lu Fan how to use the pistol.
Elder Chang’s expression on the side improved slightly. Lu Fan saying this proved that Lu Fan hadn’t been following them last night. Otherwise, if he had been followed by someone, and he, a powerful expert, hadn’t noticed, it would have been very embarrassing. It would also be very dangerous.
Lu Fan already had several pistols in his storage ring, but he had never used them. However, that didn’t mean he wouldn’t use them in the future. Ever since he had hypnotized Zhao Xiaoyun, he realized that there were many people and things in this world that exceeded his expectations. He believed that the magnificent palace-like place of the Yan family and the emaciated, skull-like face with long hair were definitely real.
“Lu Fan! The Divine Calculation Sect won’t let this go if their people die here! I suspect they’ll send more people to investigate and complete what that person failed to do,” Yan Menghan said.
“But what were they trying to do?” Lu Fan asked, looking completely bewildered.
“Lu Fan! To be honest, we are very interested in the two jade stones you obtained. I came this time to survey whether there are any jade mines on this mountain. I didn’t want to mention this originally, as it’s just a guess. If it can’t be proven, it would be a huge joke.
But the appearance of people from the Divine Calculation Sect is too coincidental. I suspect now that they are also after the jade mine,” Yan Menghan said, looking at Lu Fan.
“Haha! I picked up those two jade stones while catching fish in the river. If they want to search in the mountains, let them search!” Lu Fan laughed heartily.
He had also picked up jade stones in the river before, so saying this didn’t seem like a lie. The most important thing was that Lu Fan didn’t want anyone to enter the deep mountains and disrupt the lives of the wild people. If people knew that a tribe of wild people still survived here, they would probably be paraded around like animals!
Moreover, Lu Fan didn’t want the jade stones owned by the wild people to fall into the hands of others. He wouldn’t snatch them, but if others knew, how could they not? It seemed he needed to exchange those jade stones as soon as possible.
“Brother Fan!” At this moment, Li Jingjing ran towards Lu Fan and the others, calling out as she ran.
“Jingjing! Slow down!” Lu Fan called out urgently.
“Brother Fan! There are many people at your house in the village. They also want to contract the peach orchard to you! Uncle and Aunt don’t know what to do, so they asked you to come back,” Li Jingjing said as she ran over and took Lu Fan’s hand. Anyone who didn’t know would really think she was Lu Fan’s sister!
“Alright then! Let’s go back and take a look!” Lu Fan nodded.
“Lu Fan! You go back and attend to your business, we’ll just wander around a bit more!” Yan Menghan nodded.
“Okay!” Lu Fan and Li Jingjing went down the mountain. Yan Menghan and Elder Chang looked at the mountain and then walked deeper into it.
More than a dozen people had gathered at Lu Fan’s house. There were only a few families in the village with peach orchards. Previously, all the men in the village had gone out to work, and Lu Fan picked peaches very early in the morning, so not many villagers knew about it.
Recently, many men had returned to plant vegetables, and they had heard that Lu Fan could sell several baskets of peaches every day, earning twenty to thirty thousand yuan daily. This was very tempting; their annual income was earned in just one day. Therefore, more than ten households discussed it and came to find Lu Fan.
“Lu Fan! We heard that you can make peaches ripen early and that they are especially delicious. Can you make our peaches ripen too, so we can earn some money!” Zhang San immediately stepped forward to say as soon as he saw Lu Fan return.
“Yes! Yes! If we earn money, we’ll treat you to a meal! And drinks!” Old Master Zhao Si quickly chimed in.
“Lu Fan! We live in the same village. You’re making a lot of money, let us make a little money too! Just tell us the method for making peaches ripen early!” the others said one after another.
“Heh heh! Brother Zhang San! Brother Zhao Si! How about this, I’ll contract all your peach orchards. I contracted Sister-in-law Wang Yan’s peach orchard for ten thousand yuan. I’ll give you the same price! How about it?” Lu Fan said with a chuckle.
“What? Lu Fan! We heard that you can sell peaches for fifty yuan a jin. You made back the cost with just two peach trees, and the rest is pure profit! Aren’t you being too greedy?” Zhang San was immediately displeased and pouted, saying.
“That’s right! Lu Fan! How about this, you tell us the technology, and each of us will give you ten thousand yuan! As a technology transfer fee. Is that okay?” Someone next to him immediately said.
“Lu Fan! We all live in the same village. You’re already going to build a villa worth tens of millions, why are you still calculating with us over this small amount of money!? Just transfer this technology to us!”
“That’s right! Lu Fan! You bought such a large area by the river to build a villa, and that’s all village land. If we collectively express our disapproval, you won’t be able to build your villa there.” Zhao Si sneered from the side.
More than a dozen people spoke one after another.
Beside them, Lu Changfu and Zhao Rongrong looked at everyone with embarrassment. This… it seemed like they were jealous of their own family’s fortune!
Hmph! Lu Fan’s expression suddenly became very unpleasant.
“Everyone! Just because we live in the same village, I’ve already given you a lot of discounts. If you wait for the peaches to ripen, and then go out yourself to sell them, you won’t be able to sell them at this price.
As for me being able to sell peaches for fifty yuan a jin, that’s my skill. Being able to build a villa is also my ability. If you have this ability, I’ll immediately give that place to you, and I won’t restrict you from building a villa. If you don’t have this ability, get out of here now, immediately!” Lu Fan suddenly roared.
