Chapter 25 Lao Li, do you want ginseng?
"Li Mu, let me introduce you formally. Comrade Jiang Ruonan is from the Provincial Forest Police Station."
In the yard, Li Mu moved two small square tables and everyone sat together.
Zhao Jianguo took a sip of water: "Tsk, that's right. Did you add honey? You also know that poaching has been on the rise again recently, and police patrols have been stepped up in major forest areas."
"There are so many protected animals in your forest area, and the higher-ups attach great importance to them, so they sent Comrade Jiang Ruonan down to assist in the work."
"Even though Xiao Jiang is as young as you and has just graduated, she personally caught two poaching gangs during her internship."
Li Mu heard this and glanced at Jiang Ruonan, who was sitting opposite him.
She was sitting upright, as if she was listening carefully to the leader's speech, but her empty eyes showed that she was already in a state of confusion.
Li Mu quietly kicked her under the table.
Jiang Ruonan immediately returned to his original position, "You're welcome, leader. As a forest police officer, it is my duty to protect wild animals. Fighting against poaching gangs is not my fault alone. It is the superior who coordinates and directs. I just took the lead."
Li Mu looked at Jiang Ruonan who was suddenly so serious and wanted to laugh.
Is this still the wind-like woman being chased by a wild boar?
Zhao Jianguo raised his eyebrows and said, "Comrade Xiao Jiang, don't be humble. You destroyed two poaching gangs during your internship as a forest police officer. You are much better than the old comrades who have been working for many years."
Zhao Jianguo meant what he said. The poaching gang was not a good person. They would do anything for money.
"We are just standing on the shoulders of our predecessors and moving forward. The most serious and difficult period of poaching has been shouldered by your generation."
Zhao Jianguo grinned, picked up the cup and took a big sip.
Obviously, he was very happy to hear Jiang Ruonan's words. The younger generation has not forgotten the achievements of their predecessors.
Zhao Jianguo looked at the two young people in front of him, and for the first time he felt that he was old.
In the future world, it will be up to young people to take the lead.
Li Mu secretly glanced at Jiang Ruonan again. He was indeed someone from the provincial department. He could make the leader happy with just one sentence.
The dull hair on her head was blown by the wind and swayed.
Li Mu was a little suspicious. Is this the same Jiang Ruonan in the forest?
"Okay, Comrade Li Mu, the golden eagle has also seen it, and the animals are all in good condition. We have nothing to do, so we will leave."
After having lunch in the small courtyard, Zhao Jianguo led a group of staff out of the courtyard.
There is a lot of work in the bureau, otherwise Zhao Jianguo would be happy to stay in this beautiful courtyard for a while.
"You clean up the house and come out. Xiao Jiang will stay in the forest guard courtyard temporarily during this period. You two will work together from now on."
"Okay, Uncle Zhao."
His forest was designated as a key protected area, so the superiors sent Jiang Ruonan down, and the two of them patrolled the forest together from now on.
Jiang Ruonan's luggage was still in the hotel. She wanted to follow Zhao Jianguo's car back first and then come back after getting her luggage.
"Oh, right."
Jiang Ruonan seemed to remember something before getting into the car.
He put his hand into her backpack and groped for a while, and pulled out a yellow-white thing that looked like a radish.
"Director Zhao, I was walking in the woods and picked up a ginseng seed."
"Is this ginseng?"
Zhao Jianguo took it and looked at it carefully. It was indeed ginseng.
"Where did you pick it up?"
Zhao Jianguo was a little surprised. Most of Shiwandashan is virgin forest. The ginseng in this forest is wild ginseng, which is extremely valuable and is also a nationally protected plant.
"It's in the woods over there. I picked it up on the ground."
Jiang Ruonan felt a little unnatural. Of course she couldn't say that she was snatched from a wild boar's mouth and was chased for several miles.
Zhao Jianguo looked at the ginseng in his hand repeatedly and did not notice her expression.
"It's a pity. This must have been caused by a wild boar, and the beard is broken in the soil."
Zhao Jianguo felt a little distressed. The more complete the ginseng's whiskers, the higher the value, but the wild boar didn't care about this.
"How did you know it was a wild boar?"
Jiang Ruonan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Li Mu who was still standing at the door of the courtyard, watching them get into the car.
Could it be that this guy told Director Zhao that I was being chased by a wild boar?
“I’ve been working in forestry all my life. Can’t I still recognize the bite marks from wild boars?”
"oh."
Jiang Ruonan buttoned her head and it was okay.
Almost wronged a good man.
"What a pity. Judging from the size of the ginseng, it's quite old. If it hadn't been bitten by a wild boar, I would have paid you a bonus."
Zhao Jianguo handed the ginseng to Jiang Ruonan. "Boss, I want to hand it in, but you don't want it?"
"If you were bitten by a wild boar, even if you hand it over to the bureau, it won't be accepted. You will have a hard job in the future, so keep it to make tea."
Zhao Jianguo looked at it with regret and got in the car.
Jiang Ruonan stared blankly at the ginseng in her hand for a while, then turned to face Li Mu.
"Lao Li, do you want ginseng or not?"
"ah?"
Li Mu was stunned as he watched the convoy, ginseng?
Jiang Ruonan walked to Li Mu in a few steps with her slender legs.
"Here's a ginseng seed for you. You've worked hard. Save it for tea."
After saying that, he turned around and left calmly and got into the car.
Li Mu looked at the half-pulled ginseng with dirt still stuck to it in his hand, feeling a little dumbfounded.
Could this be the reason why she was chased by a wild boar?
“Ni Mu, what are you doing?”
Yogurt looked at Li Mu squatting in the yard, washing something there with a basin of water, and walked over to take a sniff.
"Washing ginseng."
"Ginseng~"
"It's just a kind of medicinal material. You can add it when making soup. It's very nutritious."
"Hmm."
"It will be stewed for Mr. Yoghurt to eat first."
"Okay!"
The kitten's eyes lit up.
He couldn't bear to use it to make tea and drink it as Jiang Ruonan said, it was too wasteful.
He was going to use it to make soup.
This time Director Zhao came over, not only to see the golden eagle, but also to replenish supplies for him.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Ruonan also moved in. This time there were a lot more meat and vegetables in the supplies. He also saw chicken conongs and two old hens.
They are all good ingredients for making soup, which made him addicted to cooking.
After washing the ginseng, Li Mu got up and went to the kitchen.
The next step is to deal with the piece bitten by the wild boar.
He took the knife and carefully cut along the bite marks, trying to cut it as thin as possible so as not to waste too much.
"Well, it's so thin! Why did you throw it away?"
Lord Yoghurt watched as a thin slice of ginseng was cut and thrown into the trash can.
"I was bitten by a wild boar and need to be dealt with."
"oh."
"Master Yogurt, do you want to eat it?"
"Master Yoghurt wants to try it."
Li Mu cut off a piece the size of a fingernail and fed it into Yoghurt's mouth.
"Is it tasty?"
"It's a bit bitter!"
Chewing the yogurt in his mouth, his delicate kitten face wrinkled.
"If it doesn't taste good, spit it out."
"Can't."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't waste what you eat. You will be hungry when there is no food."
The kitten frowned, but still chewed quickly and swallowed it directly.
"Well, it's not bitter anymore when you swallow it, it's a little sweet again."
"Master Yoghurt is really a diligent and thrifty kitten."
Li Mu reached out and took Yoghurt into his arms, "Make a fish for Mr. Yoghurt tonight."
