After they were done, the people attending the opening ceremony were invited by Wang Mingbao to a nearby hotel, where he had already booked several private rooms.
Opening ceremonies were usually like this. Once the auspicious time arrived, there would be a celebration. After that, the relatives and friends who came to celebrate would gather together to eat and drink. After that, they would do their own things.
There were a few people at Wang Yao's table that he knew. They were all from the same village, but they were not very familiar with each other. Wang Zexiao was the only one who was close to him. The two of them sat together and chatted. The other villagers were eating melon seeds, smoking, and waiting for the dishes to be served. After a while, the dishes were served.
They poured wine, clinked glasses, and drank heartily.
The room was filled with the smell of alcohol and smoke.
Wang Yao was not quite used to it. He had forgotten when was the last time he had experienced such an occasion.
"Don't you drink, Yao?" Wang Zexiao asked.
"I don't drink."
"Then I don't drink either!" Wang Zexiao put down the bottle of wine. In fact, he liked to drink on weekdays.
"Do you still have to work in the afternoon?"
"No, I asked for a day off."
"Then drink some. Do you drive?" Wang Yao asked with a smile.
"No, I don't drink."
The other people at the table were not polite. They raised their glasses and drank. After a while, two bottles of wine were emptied. They were all red.
After about 20 minutes, Wang Mingbao came over to propose a toast and said some polite words. After years of experience in business, he was eloquent. He was very good at such things. The strange people at the table laughed. They all looked very happy.
"Why don't you drink?" Wang Mingbao sat down next to Wang Yao and asked.
"No," Wang Yao said.
"Then eat more." Wang Mingbao did not persuade him to drink.
"Well, you go do your work."
The meal lasted more than 40 minutes. After coming out of the restaurant, Wang Yao and Wang Zexiao found Wang Mingbao and asked him. After confirming that there was nothing else they needed help with, they rode their motorcycles back to the village.
After returning to the village, Wang Yao went to Wang Zexiao's house for a while. Then he went back home and went straight to Nanshan Hill.
He resumed his peaceful life, tending to the medicinal field, cultivating, and chanting sutras. He was somewhat similar to the monks in the ancient temple deep in the mountains.
In three days, the "Shanjing" and "Guiyuan" that he planted had started to grow. For these two special spiritual herbs, he specially watered them with ancient spring water with high concentration to ensure that they could get enough nutrients.
"Can we harvest these herbs now?"
After watering these spiritual herbs, he looked at the large number of herbs, such as Radix Gentianae and Radix Radix Parvifolia, which were growing crazily. With the ancient spring water watering, their growth ignored the changes of seasons. Even in autumn and winter, they still grew crazily, which seemed to go against the laws of nature.
Ding! Task series: Herb Garden. Suddenly, he heard the prompt of the system when he was thinking.
"Task one: Successfully plant 10 kinds of herbs within seven days. The reward will be random. The punishment for failure is that you cannot continue the task."
10 kinds of herbs?
"Does it have to be licorice roots?" Wang Yao asked.
"No." The system's answer was still straightforward.
"That's good. If it's 10 kinds of licorice roots, this task is more difficult. If it's just 10 kinds of common herbs, it's easier."
But in this way, he had to go to the city.
In the evening, when Wang Yao went down the hill to go home, he happened to see his parents coming home. His father was riding a motorbike with his mother. It was a bit cold. He saw his mother's face was red because of the cold.
"I need to buy a car."
During dinner, Wang Yao told his parents about the idea of buying a car.
"Yes, you need to buy a car. Now many people in the village have bought a car. A few days ago, Qing Bao's wife, who lives in the west of the village, told me that her family bought a car. It's more than 100,000 yuan," Zhang Xiuying said.
In fact, the villagers cared a lot about their reputation. Wang Yao knew this. Although his parents didn't say it, they also hoped that their son could be outstanding. When his sister, Wang Ying, was admitted to the Bureau of Agriculture, his mother told a lot of people about it.
"What kind of car do you want to buy?" Wang Yao asked his parents. In fact, he spent most of his time on the hill and did not have many opportunities to drive. He only went to the city occasionally. He planned to buy a car for his parents to go out.
"Up to you. Don't be too expensive. They all say that Volkswagen cars are strong and resistant to damage," Zhang Xiuying said.
"I'll go to the city tomorrow. Mom, take care of the herbal field."
"Got it."
The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Zhang Xiuying went to the hill. Wang Yao also got up early. After practicing on the top of the hill, he came down from the hill and happened to meet his mother.
"What are you doing on the hill?" Zhang Xiuying asked curiously.
"Exercising," Wang Yao said with a smile.
"Oh, hurry up. It's cold. Wear more clothes."
"Okay."
Wang Yao rode out of the village on his motorcycle. It was the end of November. The weather was cold. The cold wind could easily blow through clothes. However, Wang Yao's Qi was flowing freely in his stomach. His body was warm, so he did not feel cold.
It did not take long for him to enter the county. He first bought some herbal seeds. The old man who bought the seeds seemed to remember him.
"Young man, why did you buy so many seeds?" This time, Wang Yao almost bought all the seeds that could be found in the shop.
"Try all kinds. See which ones are suitable," Wang Yao replied with a smile.
"You don't need to try. I have a list here. They are all the herbs that are often bought by the big herbal growers in the county. They should be right. Wait a moment. I'll give you a list." The old man was very kind and gave Wang Yao a list. The seeds on the list should be suitable for planting in the soil of Lianshan County.
"Thank you." Although he had the ancient spring water and could grow almost all kinds of herbs, he still wanted to thank the kind-hearted man.
After buying the seeds, he rode the motorcycle to a nearby car shop. The car shops in Lianshan County were all around the street.
He chose a shop and went in. Immediately, a beautiful girl came to greet him with a smile.
"Hello, Sir. Do you want to buy a car?"
"I'll take a look."
"What kind of car do you want to buy? What brand do you like?" the girl asked with a smile.
"Ah, a Volkswagen," Wang Yao said after hesitating for a while.
He entered the exhibition hall and found that there were all kinds of cars. They did not only sell one type of car and one brand. This kind of car sales company was different from those exclusive 4S stores. They dealt with all kinds of cars. They also picked up cars from 4S stores. They mainly made money from insurance and after-sales service.
