"Brother Zhao, this is Abao, I am my old friend. He specializes in the business of Xingyue Bodhi and Huanghuali, and is a local here..."

After chatting with Zhao Hongtao in the sofa area of ​​the lobby for a while, Man Jun answered a phone call and went out. After about four or five minutes, a middle-aged man with a low figure came in behind him. He was about thirty years old and had a pair of glasses on his face, looking very gentle.

"Bao, this is Boss Zhao, my big brother, you know each other..." After introducing the person, Man Jun introduced Zhao Hongtao to the other party, but except for Zhao Hongtao's surname, he never disclosed any information.

"Hello, Boss Zhao, welcome to our guests..."

Abao politely shook hands with Zhao Hongtao and smiled: "Boss Man, although I am tall like a local, my ancestral home is really not here. My father is in the Corps. Later, he built a farm in Qiong Province, so they all came to the place professionally..."

It turned out that in the 1960s and 1970s, in order to develop agriculture in Qiong Province, many farms were established in mountainous areas in Qiong Province, and the established troops were allowed to transfer to local businesses to support local construction. Abao's father was the one who would stay in Qiong Province.

It is precisely because of this that Abao grew up in the mountains since he was a child and is familiar with the people in the Miao and Li villages living around him. This also allows him to get a lot of convenience when he is engaged in the business of Xingyue Bodhi and Huanghuali when he grows up. The advantage of receiving goods is incomparable to other merchants.

Abao is very good at doing business. As soon as he met, he revealed his origin, which made Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi feel good about him. Zhao Hongtao said immediately: "I'm sorry to ask Mr. Abao this time. My favorite thing is wood. If Mr. Abao has any good items, you can also show me first..."

"Boss Zhao is polite, just call me Abao..."

After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Abao smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Several people come from afar, let's not talk about business, it's noon soon. I'll take you to taste our local dishes. By the way, this most authentic five-legged pig was fed in Wuzhishan..."

"Oh? I have heard of the four famous dishes of Wenchang chicken in Qiong Province, such as Jiji duck, Dongshan goat and Hele crab. I have never heard of five-legged pigs..."

Zhao Hongtao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He often went on business trips and studied or attended meetings. He would taste local specialty snacks every place. He had been to Qiong Province several times, but he had never eaten the five-legged pig that Abao mentioned.

"Brother Zhao, these five-legged pigs are all free-range and taste very good..." Man Jun had eaten them a few times before, and immediately explained them to Zhao Hongtao.

The five-legged pig is also called Xiangpi, which is a local small-sowed sow in Qiong Province. When it was in estrus, it was put in the mountains to find wild boar breeding, and then gave birth to piglets with wild boar habits and physiques.

The piglets born from hybrids are as short as wild boars and have long mouths. Because they like to bury soil everywhere in the wild, their mouths stick to the ground when walking, and look like five feet from behind, so the locals call them "five-legged pigs".

"Well, this kind of wild hybrid pork is the most fragrant, I want to try it..." Zhao Hongtao was originally a foodie. After hearing Man Jun's description, he immediately moved his index finger. After a few words to Abao, the few people stood up and walked out of the hotel.

"Well? Lao Man, why don't you drive your car?" When he arrived at the parking area outside the lobby, Zhao Hongtao found that Man Jun was not driving his own car, but Abao opened the door of a car and asked several people to get in.

"Brother Zhao, let's do it for Abao's car..." Man Jun shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Although I squeeze in his car, it's safe. You'll know after you go back and eat..."

"Safety? What's the saying?"

Zhao Hongtao was confused by Man Jun's words. Seeing that Man Jun had no explanation, he could only get into the car. Man Jun sat in front, Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi sat in the back row, and the four of them didn't seem crowded when they were in a car.

The hotel that Abao took Zhao Hongtao and others to was built at the foot of a mountain, nestled against a small lake flowing down the mountain. The hotel owner had a unique idea of ​​building a lot of wooden houses built with bamboo and wood structures on the lake.

People who come can not only eat in the wooden house, but also fish and play cards. It is a resort with comprehensive entertainment, leisure and food. Although it was the hottest time in Qiong Province, the resort was still full of cars, and the business was obviously very good.

Abao is very familiar with the boss, and he booked the room in advance. After entering the room, Abao was busy cooking tea for Zhao Hongtao and Fang Yi without waiting for the waiter to come.

"Boss Zhao, this is our bitter root tea, which is cool and relieves heat. You can try it..." Abao brought a few cups of tea to Zhao Hongtao and others, and said with a smile.

"Hmm? It's really bitter, but after savoring it, I feel that the tongue is soaked..." Zhao Hongtao tasted the tea, nodded slightly, and smiled: "After taking a sip of this tea, it seems that the weather is not very hot..."

"Boss Zhao, our place is warm in winter and cool in summer. If you go to Wuzhishan, you will feel cooler..." Abao laughed and said, "You guys sit first, I'll urge you to serve the food. The business here is very good. If you don't urge, you don't know what time you can serve..."

"Brother Zhao, I came here for food last time. I heard that the boss and Abao are classmates, and their fathers all came from the farm..."

After Abao went out, Man Jun said, "Abao told me just now that he found four trees in Miao Village, but I heard that there were other people who were planning to go gamble. Let's go after dinner, so that others would avoid being taken first..."

"Do you want to go to the Miao village?" After hearing Man Jun's words, Zhao Hongtao's face changed and hesitated: "Can't you transport the trees out? Lao Man, this Miao village is easy to enter but not easy to exit..."

"Well? Brother Zhao, are you afraid that Miao people will be poisoned?" Man Jun was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that a local official like Zhao Hongtao would understand these things.

"Ahem, I didn't say it..."

Zhao Hongtao's face turned red when Man Jun said it. He glanced at him and said, "I used to have a classmate who had a good relationship. When we graduated, we went to Yunnan Province for a trip. I don't know why he got along with a girl from a Miao village there, but he didn't stay. Who knew that he had a strange disease as soon as he returned from the Miao village..."

What Zhao Hongtao said was something he had experienced personally. Although nearly twenty years have passed, Zhao Hongtao still remembers it freshly.

It was in the early 1980s. Zhao Hongtao had just graduated from Jinling University. He and another classmate from Shandong Province, Liu Dazhi, were invited by classmates from Yunnan Province, and took a train for a few days and went to the classmate's house in Yunnan Province for a while.

Since Zhao Hongtao and his friends studied in the museum major were divided from the history department, he and his classmates in Lu were very interested in the history of Yunnan Province, especially the legendary Miao Village, where they were both interested in it.

However, in the early 1980s, Miao Village was not open to the public as it is now. It was still a very mysterious place for the outside world, and outsiders could not enter the Miao world at all.

But coincidentally, the mother of a classmate in Yunnan Province married from the Miao village, so the classmate in Yunnan Province is considered half a Miao village. At the request of Zhao Hongtao and Liu Dazhi, the classmate in Yunnan Province agreed to take them to the village of Miao village to live for a few days.

Before leaving, classmates from Yunnan Province told Zhao Hongtao and Liu Dazhi that many things to pay attention to and avoid. They agreed and followed the classmate for two days to walk the mountain road and came to the Miao village deep in the mountains in Yunnan Province.

The arrival of the three made the silent Miao Village lively. Because of that classmate, the Miao Village people regarded Zhao Hongtao and others as the most honorable guests, and held a bonfire party singing and dancing for three nights to welcome their arrival.

On the first and second days, Zhao Hongtao and the others were still a little reluctant, for fear of disrespect for the Miao people in their words or behaviors. They were always careful.

But after two days, they felt that the Miao people seemed to be no different from those from outside, and they were even more hospitalized, so on the third day, they also let go of their previous concerns and started drinking happily-
