Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 208 Contracting, Pond Digging
The fact that Gao Mingcheng had been to Yangcheng has become a big gossip in the village recently. Almost everyone wanted to mention it. When everyone saw Gao Yuan and saw that they had an electronic watch in their hands, they all came forward to see this novelty. stuff.

Naturally, some people asked how to use it and how much it cost.

Gao Mingcheng told the truth, but the price he said was the selling price, not the wholesale price.

So as soon as the price was announced, the caring person settled the accounts in private, and he was speechless, thinking to himself what kind of business did Gao Mingcheng do, to spend so much money as a gift!

Originally, there were all kinds of guesses, but soon, the guesses relied on Gao Guobing, and now everyone knows that Gao Guobing is an official!

The head of the unit back then was actually considered an official, but when he said it, he was not as nice and dignified as the head of the bureau.

After talking about Gao Guobing, everyone no longer envied Gao Mingcheng for being rich, probably because he couldn't afford to provoke him.

Gao Mingcheng himself is a ruthless character. He was No. 1 in fights since he was a child. Now that he has the backing of Gao Guobing, the villagers dare not provoke him if they have nothing to do.

After Gao Mingcheng heard about it, he just smiled and didn't say much.

Now that he came back from Yangcheng, and the things that should be done have been done, then the next thing to do is to get the contracting of the mountains and forests done.

After he sold the gold, he resold a batch of electronic watches and toad mirrors, and he had a sum of money in his hand, which was enough for him to contract the forest and land preparation afterwards.

Talk to the people from the village committee, and the matter will be settled quickly. Contracting out the mountain forest will be of great benefit to the village committee. Gao Mingcheng successfully contracted the small mountain without anyone competing with him. arrive.

Because the hill has no name, Gao Mingcheng named it Xiaofushan on the spot.The name is very vulgar, but he said he likes it very much!
After contracting Xiaofushan, Gao Mingcheng quickly gathered people in the village, planning to dig the depression at the foot of Xiaofushan into a pond before the early rice harvest.

The excavated soil will not be wasted, it can be used to fertilize the soil, and by the way, the foundation around the pond will be compacted.

People in the village are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid of lack of work. When Gao Mingcheng yelled, there were like clouds of followers.

We are all from the same village, so it is not easy to do this or not. Fortunately, there are many things to do, not only to dig ponds, but also to cut down trees and prepare the land, all of which require manpower.

So as long as anyone is willing to work, and they are all hardworking and willing to work, Gao Mingcheng will not refuse anyone.

As for those who steal and play tricks, they dare not come to Gao Mingcheng to make trouble, because they can't beat Gao Mingcheng alone.

Things were going well, for the sake of convenience, Gao Mingcheng didn't include lunch and only raised his wages, which was [-] cents higher than when the railway was being built.

Building railways is laborious work, and this is also laborious work, but fortunately, it is close to home, which saves trouble on the road.

At the beginning, Gao Mingcheng led the people to point out Jiangshan for a while, let them know how to do the work, and then went to busy with his own affairs.

He had to go into the mountains every now and then to check the condition of the beehives, check the growth of poria cocos, and by the way, look at other natural medicinal materials, such as ganoderma lucidum and gardenia jasminoides.

On this day, Gao Mingcheng went into the mountain with a honey shaker.

After such a long time, the honey in the beehive is full and the color is darker, it is time to shake the honey.

If the honey is not brewed for a long time, it will have more moisture and a lighter color. Seen through the sun, it will look like golden yellow. Sticky and sweet, the shelf life will be longer.

Every time Gao Mingcheng waited until the brewing was almost done, he would shake the honey, otherwise people who bought honey would feel that mixing water was not worth it.

It took a whole day to shake all the honey out of the beehive, even Gao Mingcheng felt his arms ached.

Looking at the big vat of honey, Gao Mingcheng was both happy and sad.

Yes, a big tank!

Because there is too much honey, there are not enough containers at home to hold it, so the water tank is cleaned and drained, and it is used to temporarily hold honey.

Gao Mingcheng looked around, thinking about going to the county tomorrow and buying some more bottles.

In fact, he is still considering whether to buy a tractor, otherwise there will be too many goods, and it will always be inconvenient to go to and from the county.

Only a small part of the trees in Xiaofushan can be sold for money, and most of them are useless weeds. For this part, Gao Mingcheng generously promised those who did the work, telling them that weeds can be taken home.

Don't underestimate weeds, these are fuels that can burn fire.

Almost no one in the village spends money to buy coal. They use firewood for cooking and cooking every day. Sometimes when there is not enough firewood, they will go to other people's hills to steal it, which will lead to scolding and fighting.

Outside the courtyard wall of Gao Mingcheng, there are a lot of felled miscellaneous trees. These miscellaneous trees are piled up at random to dry, and when they are needed, they are cut into small sections and then piled up.

Some people say that whichever family's firewood is built high and well, then the life of that family will be prosperous. Some people can build firewood against the wall and fill the entire wall!

Most of the people called by Gao Mingcheng were arranged to dig ponds. They planned to dig the ponds before harvesting the early rice. If they wanted to plant trees, the reservoirs were very important. Besides, there will be drought in September this year. The role of the pool is even more important.

Gao Mingcheng didn't completely ignore Xiao Fushan. After finishing his own affairs, he would take off his shirt, reveal his strong arms, and work with other people. When he worked, it was fast and good, exciting The others did not dare to slow down, for fear of being compared.

Taking labor wages, but working slower than the master's work, isn't that what people say!

"I dug a spring! Haha, this land is always wet and rotten, so I said there must be a spring underneath!"

"That's right, there are springs, so you don't have to worry about running out of water to plant trees."

The workers were all leaning on hoes and laughing one after another, which made the dull atmosphere relaxed and cheerful.

Gao Mingcheng went over to check, and the place where the spring hole was dug began to gurgle with clear water. There was a small puddle of water at the bottom, but now there is a tendency to gradually increase.

So he said: "Brothers, continue to dig, first dig the spring hole and then dig deeper, and then dig other places, and try to dig the pond today and tomorrow!"

"Okay!" Everyone responded. They all knew that after the spring was dug, the water would increase. If the pond was not dug in time, it would be very inconvenient.

So everyone worked together, digging the soil, picking the soil, busy and orderly.

Gao Mingcheng is also digging the soil, trying to dig the pond thoroughly in these two days.

His pond is not too big, only about two acres, and the digging is not too deep. The bottom is covered with dark gray fine soil, except for some rocks, it is good planting soil.

He dug quickly, and the dustpan filled with soil was soon full, and was picked away by someone.

There are many people, and by evening, the pond is almost dug, and some water has accumulated in the spring, which is as high as someone's calf.

By tomorrow, there will be more water.

"Okay, let's stop here today! Tomorrow, we will repair the surrounding area and tamp the foundation around the pond!" Gao Mingcheng threw away the hoe and said loudly.

"Okay." The rest of the people responded, raising their hands to wipe the sweat off their faces.

Everyone was working against the clock. When a group of people were working hard, they didn't feel it. Now when they stopped, their arms trembled and their bodies felt hollowed out.

Seeing them like this, Gao Mingcheng smiled embarrassedly.

If it weren't for him, these people might not have shown the energy to feed.

A group of people returned to their homes one after another, some of them sat down and waited to eat, some of them wanted to be clean and ran to the reservoir to take a full bath first.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the scorching heat brought by summer gradually dissipated, the wind blows from the hills, the leaves rustle, and the wild flowers sway. They take away the remaining scorching heat of the earth and bring the long-lost coolness.

Living in a small mountain village is like this, even in the hot summer, it is cooler in the morning and evening.

Gao Mingcheng's dinner has been served in the yard.After eating, Gao Mingcheng rested on the recliner, while Duomei cleaned up the dishes in the kitchen, singing a ditty while cleaning up.

I heard this song from Yangcheng.

Many beauty has a bit of a talent for singing, and she can sing songs that she has heard a few times, and her pitch is generally not bad.

Gao Mingcheng can't do it, he is a typical pentatonic insufficiency, so he seldom sings, so as not to make people laugh.

Listening to Duomi's beautiful singing voice, Gao Mingcheng began to think about whether to buy a tape recorder for Duomi.

The style that was all the rage in the 80s was wearing flared pants, toad glasses, and holding a tape recorder!
What are you doing?Of course it's singing and dancing!

In 86, Cui Jian sang "Nothing", and Chinese rock music was born since then. This year, "Queen of Disco" Zhang Qiang will blow a super whirlwind, leading the carnival of fashionable young people.

After that, Teresa Teng's hit "I Only Care About You", Qi Qin's hits "About Winter" and "The Outside World", and Wang Jie's first album "A Game, a Dream" were released one after another, bringing people more music.

The entertainment industry is also about to enter an era of fighting between gods and gods, and many good-looking movies and songs have been born.

Gao Mingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly, various messy thoughts appeared in his mind, and gradually, he fell asleep amidst many beautiful songs.
