Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 203 On-the-spot inspection of the mountain forest to be contracted

Before going to Yangcheng, Gao Mingcheng still had some things to do.

The work in the field and the livestock at home have been entrusted to him, but he has to manage the beehives in the mountains by himself.

He originally made [-] beehives, and then made another [-] beehives. These [-] beehives were scattered in the mountains, and he had to check them every few days.

It depends on whether there is a nectar source nearby. If not, you have to move the beehive to find a new nectar source. Otherwise, if the nectar source is not enough, bee fights will occur.

It also depends on the development of the bee colony. If there are too many bees in a beehive and a new queen bee is bred, then you have to guard against splitting to prevent the bees from running away.

In addition to these, you have to observe whether there are wasps coming to eat honey from the bees. If there are, don't be soft when you see them, and you must kill the wasps!
Gao Mingcheng checked the beehives one by one and observed the situation inside the beehives. If there was enough honey, he could find a time to shake the honey.

Recently, there are many sources of honey in the mountains, Italian bees are actively collecting honey, there is a lot of honey on the honeycomb, and there are many bees, these are newly reproduced small bees.

During the inspection process, Gao Mingcheng moved some of the beehives appropriately, and killed the wasps he saw. He had good eyesight and accurate hands, and when he dropped his stick, a wasp fell to the ground and lost its life.

Since he killed the black bear, no honey has been stolen from the beehives in the mountain. After that, he went up the mountain a few times and went to look for the black bear cub and the injured tiger. As a result, the two became mixed together in later generations. The guys who protect animals have all disappeared in this forest.

Maybe he left here, maybe he died in some unknown corner.

Since then, there have been no more black bears and South China tigers in the mountains on their side.

Hearing the news, Gao Mingcheng was quite emotional, but returning to this special time point and experiencing some things that he had never experienced in his previous life, he also felt a little excited.

After inspecting the beehives, Gao Mingcheng took advantage of the opportunity to check the growth of Poria cocos. When Poria cocos was first planted, there would be some dead seedlings that needed to be pulled out in time, but the plants that are still alive have grown very well and do not need much care. It needs to wait for time to brew, let the poria cocos grow continuously, absorb the nutrients in the pine wood, and then grow mature poria cocos.

After finishing all this work, Gao Mingcheng couldn't stop, he came to the hill he planned to contract.

This hill has nothing special, it's just a small hill, if you overlook it, this hill looks like the point at the end of the ox's tail.

Walking from the place where Gao Mingcheng lives to this hill, at the foot of the hill, you will encounter a depression. It is precisely because of the obstruction of this depression that few people in the village enter this hill to get firewood, so the vegetation in this hill Lush with almost nowhere to go.

Gao Mingcheng picked the way he could walk, crossed the depression and entered the mountain.

The mountain road was difficult, and he came with a machete. He cut down the wanton growth of vegetation along the way, and opened a path that only one person could pass through.

Before, he just looked at it from a distance, and didn't come to check it out in person, but when he suggested that he might want to contract this mountain forest, people from the village committee came to see it, and the village party secretary also talked to him, saying that if he wanted to If it is a contract, the village can give him a preferential price, which is [-] yuan per mu of land.

Huanglin Bay is seven yuan per mu, and here it is sixty-five yuan, which is fifty cents cheaper. It doesn't seem like much, but in fact, it can save a lot in a year.

Now the village committee has disseminated the idea of ​​bidding for the contracting of the forest. As long as someone in the village is willing to contract, they can tell the village committee and submit the bid.

But Gao Mingcheng was not in a hurry. In his previous life, the entire mountain forest in Gaojia Village had never been contracted by anyone. Everything grew naturally.

This hill is the most suitable for contracted afforestation, but this is for Gao Mingcheng. For other people in the village, this hill does not have much economical timber. After cutting down the timber, they don’t know what to plant. I don't know how to open the market.

At this time, money is hard to earn, and it takes a lot of money to contract the mountains and forests. Most people don't have the guts to do it.

If they really have this money, they will use it to build houses, marry their children and grandchildren, and so on.

Gao Mingcheng was walking in the mountains, carefully looking at the original vegetation in the mountains while walking.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a large piece of bamboo, which is the kind of small bamboo, not Nanzhu. The economic value of this kind of bamboo is far lower than that of Nanzhu.

On the edge of the bamboo, there are similar Ruo leaves, which are used to make zongzi. Every Dragon Boat Festival, people in the village will go to the mountains to pick Ruo leaves, or use them to make zongzi, or get them. County to sell.

For the villagers, Ruoye can be seen everywhere, but for the city people, many things have to be bought with money.

The academic name of this thing is Ruoye, but to the people in the village, it is called Zongye, because it is used to make zongzi.

In addition to making zongzi, it can also be used as the inner lining of bamboo hats.

Bamboo, Ruoye and some unknown low shrubs grow together in a disorderly manner. After crossing this area, they enter the hillside. Finally, there are tall trees on the hillside. Carefully identify them, including water tung tree and pagoda tree. , camphor tree, bitter tree, and a lotus tree.

This lotus tree belongs to the family Theaceae and the genus Schima, and it will bloom, and the flowers are quite beautiful. During the flowering period, the trees are full of brilliant flowers, which is quite pleasing to the eye.

With taller trees blocking the sun, there are fewer weeds on the ground, and the road is relatively easy to walk. All the way to the top of the mountain, Gao Mingcheng finally saw some valuable trees—fir.

The three Chinese fir trees were growing staggeredly, one big and two small, and after felling, they were somewhat useful.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking around, I saw several wild loquat trees, mulberry trees, chestnut trees, twister trees, etc. These are common tree species in the village, and they can't be sold for a price after being cut down.

He was walking in the mountains, feeling the real terrain, and many pictures kept flashing in his mind, all of which were pictures of how to cut down the land and how to plant sugar oranges.

"Hey, it's really a big project! But when it's done, it's very exciting. In the future, we will raise a batch of free-range chickens and ducks in the mountains, and then buy some fish fry and put them in the pond. It’s not bad to catch a chicken to eat and pass the time by fishing.” Gao Mingcheng muttered to himself, and when these pictures appeared in his mind, he suddenly realized that this is the life that many people dream of after retirement ?

There is a vegetable field, a pond, a fruit forest, a flock of chickens and ducks, and a few huts.

Such a life scene must be loved by people who do not have the pressure of survival.

When Gao Mingcheng felt that this kind of life was pretty good, he realized that he was a young man again, and he had lost the drive of real youth.

Young people in the countryside are eager to leave here, go to the world of Huahua, experience more levels of life, and gain more money and careers. Only when they have got what they want and are getting older, will they I miss the small mountain village that I left behind.

Isn't Gao Mingcheng the same?In his previous life, he chased fame and wealth like a dog, and although he gained a lot, he also lost more, but even so, his heart was still wandering outside, and only when he settled down, he would suddenly wake up.
