Chapter 33: Who is the kind-hearted person who delivered the mountain products to my door?
Su Ran's discovery and timely reporting allowed experts to intervene and provide protection immediately.

At least it can allow the Chinese ancient fruit plant to maintain its survival population for a period of time.

Perhaps one day in the future, China's ancient fruit will go from being extinct to being endangered, and finally slowly becoming vulnerable.

The Institute of Paleontology also rewarded Su Ran in accordance with the current interim reward regulations.

What surprised Su Ran was that the reward was 50,000 yuan, because normally, a few thousand would be great: "How can I get such a large reward? In fact, this is also my duty as a forest ranger."

The professor agreed with Su Ran's words and admired his modesty. He smiled and said, "Responsibilities are one thing, but as the first person to discover ancient Chinese fruits, you have added a new life to nature, and you have also given us old guys a new research goal."

"You deserve this money!"

There was no way Su Ran would refuse the money that was given to him for free, so he exchanged some pleasantries with the two of them. The money was transferred to his bank account at around six o'clock in the day.

With this unexpected bonus, Su Ran no longer plans to apply to higher authorities for compensation for poultry losses.

"Those dozen chickens are worth about two thousand at most. During the time I spent collecting materials, I don't know how much money I have made from mushrooms." Su Ran planned to use the bonus money to compensate the villagers.

Just consider it as an apology to the villagers on behalf of the civet cat mother.

Moreover, the 50,000 yuan reward was actually earned by the civet cat mother for Su Ran.

Now that he had the money, Su Ran asked the village chief Zhou Dafu to call the villagers who had lost the chickens to the village committee.

Everyone thought they had found the murderer, and rushed to the village committee early in the morning, including Aunt Liu.

After searching around, they didn't see the murderer. Only Su Ran and the village chief Zhou Dafu were in the meeting room.

Aunt Liu couldn't help but ask, "Didn't they call us to the village committee to say they had caught the murderer? Where is he?"

Others also looked at the village chief.

Zhou Dafu waved his hand and said, "I didn't say that. What I said on the phone was that the matter has been dealt with." He looked at Su Ran.

Su Ran continued, "Uncles and aunts, the murderer has been found. It's not a human or anything else, but a civet cat. This kind of wild animal steals poultry, and we have no way to investigate it."

"But I can't let you suffer losses in vain, so I plan to pay for it myself and give each of you 500 yuan, and let this matter be over."

As he spoke, Su Ran took out a wad of cash from his pocket and gave five hundred to each of the eight villagers present.

"How can this be? Xiao Su, you are the one who helped us catch the chicken thief, why do we have to pay for this?" Aunt Liu felt a little embarrassed after receiving the money, "No, I can't take this money."

As he said this, he was about to return the money to Su Ran.

Su Ran smiled and said, "Take it, Aunt Liu. It's not easy for all of us. As a forest ranger in our village, I will help you as much as I can."

The forest ranger doesn't have to run around doing all kinds of things for the villagers. How could Zhou Dafu not see Su Ran's thoughts, but he didn't point it out.

He even hoped that he wouldn't have to do anything and the problem would be solved.

Anyway, Su Ran has gained a good reputation among the villagers.

"Okay Aunt Liu, since it's Xiao Su's good intention, let's accept it."

Under Uncle Li's persuasion, Aunt Liu was willing to accept the money, but she said, "Xiao Su, come to my house later, and I will bring you the biggest old hen."

"That works."

……

The snow finally fell in the forest.

Although it was a little later than in previous years, the sky was filled with snowflakes, as white as countless light elves, dancing in the cold air.

Slowly landing in every corner of the forest.

On the ground, the snow has formed a soft and thick carpet, and every step is accompanied by a slight crunching sound.

On the way back, I felt the unique sound of the snow under my feet and looked sideways at the forest not far away. The trees around me became more spectacular under the decoration of heavy snow. In such a snowy scene, animals also became extra cautious. They either hid in warm nests or carefully left a series of footprints on the snow to look for food.

"It seems that I have to rest at home in the next two days."

The heavy snow may continue for a while, and Su Ran does not plan to go up the mountain during this period.

He should take some time off to have a good rest at home. After all, he has been busy during this period and has not had a good rest.

But this means that Su Ran may have no source of income for a while.

However, including the 50,000 bonus this time, he now has 470,000 in hand, which rounds off to 500,000.

It would be enough for him even if he didn't work for a year.

Grandpa’s house is still being renovated. According to the current progress, it should be completed after the heavy snow.

Su Ran returned to Aunt Wang's house.

As soon as I walked out of the yard, I saw a pile of mushrooms piled at the door.

Su Ran didn't even need to walk forward to see the prompt: [Hericium erinaceus*1200]

"Who put these here?" Su Ran remembered that he didn't see any mushrooms outside the door when he went out in the morning.

The price of dried Hericium erinaceus cultivated artificially generally costs about RMB 150 per catty, and the better ones are around RMB . The price of wild Hericium erinaceus is RMB to per catty.

Su Ran could tell at a glance that this was pure wild Hericium erinaceus, with some residual sawdust on it.

Mushrooms grow in Beilinhai all year round, but they grow less in winter. Hericium erinaceus usually grows in tree holes in autumn and winter.

"Could this be what grandpa dug up on the mountain just now?" Just as Su Ran was thinking this, the door was pushed open by the old man.

"You went out so early?" Grandpa's eyes fell on the Hericium erinaceus on the ground. "Wow, today's harvest is good, so many Hericium erinaceus."

Su Ran: “…”

"Grandpa, didn't you pick this?" Su Ran asked in confusion.

The old man looked strange: "I just got up, how can I pick it?"

Aunt Wang is currently making hand-rolled noodles in the kitchen and it's not her who has ever gone out.

Su Ran went upstairs and took a look. Chen Sisi was still sleeping, so it was even more impossible that it was her.

"My goodness, is this a ghost?"

There were mountain products worth nearly a thousand yuan, and I don’t know who left them at the door.

I asked everyone during the meal and they all said they didn't know who put it there.

"I don't think anyone wants it, so we can just sell it when the time comes." Chen Sisi said while holding the bowl and chopsticks.

Su Ran nodded. He would definitely not be polite. "Someone in the group just happened to want fresh mushrooms. I will send these Hericium erinaceus by express this afternoon."

Originally, Su Ran thought that the appearance of Hericium erinaceus was an accident, but he didn't expect that at noon, he found a pile of pine nuts at the door.

It was not until the evening that Su Ran opened the door again out of curiosity.

really,

There is another pile of mushrooms outside the door.

Su Ran: "…Is this a ghost?"
