Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 226

When Gao Mingcheng was collecting herbs in the mountains, Manymei was also busy at home. Recently, she has stopped going to Dong Feixia to make clothes, because from time to time, someone will send medicinal materials to sell. Gao Mingcheng is not at home, so she has to stay at home to collect medicinal materials .

This morning, she received some common medicinal materials in the village one after another, including pudijin, black medicine, ghost needle grass, houttuynia cordata, monkey ginger, milk grass, abacus and so on.

This abacus is not an abacus, but the name of a Chinese medicine, also called wild pumpkin. It is a very common wild plant. Its fruit can be used as medicine, mainly to treat sore throat, malaria, orchitis. disease.

Ghost needle grass is also a very common herb. It can often be seen beside villages, roadsides, and wasteland. It is a plant of the Compositae family. Its flowers are similar to chrysanthemums. Many people mistake them for wild chrysanthemums.

The biggest difference between it and the wild chrysanthemum is that it has barbs. The whole plant can be used as medicine. It has the functions of clearing away heat, detoxifying, dispelling blood stasis, and reducing swelling. It is generally used to treat enteritis, dysentery and other diseases.

These common medicinal materials are all in many small books of Meiji. She is also very familiar with these medicinal materials. When others bring medicinal materials, she needs to check them first, and then buy them at a price. If she thinks they are not good enough, she will not accept them at all. .

Some people disagree, but many beauties are not vegetarians. She mostly has a gentle image in front of Gao Mingcheng, but she is not afraid at all when encountering things. No matter whether the person who comes is a man or a woman, she can speak back quickly.

Coupled with Gao Mingcheng's reputation, no one dared to fight her, so they could only swallow this breath.

But this kind of people is always a minority, and most of them hope to establish a good relationship with Duomi, and then sell the medicinal materials smoothly.

The weather is dry this year, and the yield in the fields has decreased. The nearby villagers cherish this opportunity to sell medicinal materials.

Duomei received another batch of medicinal materials, and then used a pencil to write down the account in the account book. At this time, she heard the cry of cattle and sheep, followed the sound, and found that she had been busy just now, and even now, the cattle and sheep have not been taken away. Take it out to graze.

So she put down her work and led the cattle and sheep out first.

I didn't bother to go far, so I put them in the shade at the foot of Xiaofu Mountain, and let them graze freely. This side is near the pond, and the vegetation is very lush.

Halfway up the mountain, the voices of men talking and the movement of cutting trees could be heard from time to time. With the efforts of the workers, a large area of ​​the mountain became bare, exposing the yellow-red soil on the ground.

The soil on their side is mostly yellow soil, and there is also a small part of red soil. The fields cultivated all the year round, because of perennial fertilization and careful cultivation, the color of the soil will be relatively darker.

Duomei returned home and picked some eggplants and peppers as she passed by her vegetable field.

Because of enough water and fertilizer, the vegetables in her family are growing well now, but the peppers and eggplants have passed their peak production period, and there are not so many fruits.

In June, the pepper and eggplant grew very fast, and it felt like they were full of branches without picking them in a day. At that time, many beauty picked a lot and took them to dry.

For red peppers, just wash them, chop them, and dry them in the sun. Green peppers require an additional process. You need to put the green peppers in boiling water until they are half-cooked. dry.

The chili produced in this way has a unique flavor. In winter, it is very delicious when used to stir-fry meat.

When Duomei returned home, she was ready to cook lunch. After cooking, she ate it by herself first. As for Gao Mingcheng, sometimes he would come back to eat at noon, and sometimes he would stay in the mountains all day and would not come back until evening.

Time passed day by day, and it was seven or eight days in a blink of an eye. At this moment, Gao Mingcheng had almost found all the medicinal materials in the mountains.

As for the yellow gardenia and Hedyotis diffusa, they will not fully mature in a few days, so he decided to take this opportunity to go to the county.

His father and his fourth brother told him last time that they wanted him to find Gao Guobing to arrange a job for Gao Mingli.

He pondered for a while, this time he didn't take Gao Mingli with him, but went by himself.

When he went to the county this time, besides talking to Gao Guobing about it, he also wanted to talk to Xiao Jinfeng and ask him how the purchase of medicinal materials was going.

They had agreed to go to the medicine fair together before, and they had to take a breather to see how much medicine each prepared and whether a truck could hold it.

When he arrived in the county, Gao Mingcheng went to the police station first. When Gao Guobing saw him, he made a joke on purpose: "A rare visitor! How long has it been since you came to the county? I heard that you have been collecting herbs in the mountains recently? The medicinal materials in the mountains How's the yield?"

Gao Mingcheng said with a smile: "Although the sky is dry this year, it has little impact on the medicinal materials in the mountains. Compared with previous years, it is about the same!"

In fact, he didn't go that deep into the mountains last year. He has been walking in the mountains near Gaojia Village. This year, his steps have gone further. Personally, he has gained more than last year. many.

However, due to the wanton destruction by Lord Ma and his party in the mountains, the production of some medicinal materials has been reduced, but there is no need to tell Gao Guobing about this.

After briefly talking about the medicinal materials, Gao Mingcheng directly explained the purpose of coming.

Hearing that Gao Mingcheng asked for a job for his fourth younger brother, Gao Guobing couldn't help laughing, and said deliberately: "You help the two younger brothers find work, so you don't care about your elder brother?"

Gao Mingcheng also laughed, and said, "My eldest brother works with my sister-in-law's natal brother on the construction site, and he can also earn money, and he can take care of the family in his free time."

In fact, if Gao Mingli is willing, he can wait for the right time and follow his elder brother Gao Mingpeng to work on the construction site. In a year or two, there will be countless people building houses, and the work on the construction site can be done all the time.

But judging from what Gao Mingli meant, he hoped to have a stable and non-tiring job to do.

"Uncle, can you help with this matter? If you can't, I will refuse." Gao Mingcheng said straightforwardly, but was met with a blank stare from Gao Guobing.

Gao Guobing said grandly: "It's just a matter of arranging for one person. What's the problem? What does your fourth brother want to do?"

Gao Mingcheng gave a general overview of Gao Mingli's needs, which are nothing more than stability and ease.

But these two points are the most difficult. Which migrant worker does not want to have a stable and easy job?

Gao Guobing pondered for a moment, and then said: "The paper mill and the sugar factory can arrange it. You can go back and ask him where he wants to go? It's not urgent. You can take him to a medicine fair first, to see the world." .”

"Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company is short of manpower. When the time comes, he will go alone, and you will have to bring another person to help look at the medicinal materials."

Gao Mingcheng nodded when he heard the words.

This is true, there are a lot of medicinal materials this time, and Xiao Jinfeng and I will definitely seek an opportunity to sell them earlier, so there must be someone to help guard the medicinal materials.

When he went to the drug fair last year, he brought Huang Dazhi and Gao Zhuang with him.

But this year Huang Dazhi has become a co-op, and Gao Zhuang is likely to be inseparable. There are a lot of things waiting for him at home and in the field.

After all the calculations, it seems that it is not bad to take Gao Mingli.

Although Gao Mingli is a scumbag, but at least he has reached junior high school and knows the basic characters, so he is not too timid, and it is fine to take him out to practice.

"By the way, I heard from Xiao Jinfeng that you are talented in learning how to drive? If that's the case, you should find time to get your driver's license. Knowing how to drive is a very important thing." Gao Guobing said.

Gao Mingcheng had this intention, and taking advantage of the rare free time these few days, he said: "I plan to go to brother Xiao's place to practice driving later, and get my driver's license tomorrow."

That being the case, Gao Guobing didn't keep him any longer, and told him to stay at home at night, and then let him do his own work.

The relationship between the two is very close, like a relative uncle and nephew, so Gao Mingcheng went out without being polite.

While in the lobby, he greeted all the police officers he knew, and specifically talked to Huang Dazhi.

Huang Dazhi said: "When I came home from a break, I told my parents that you were going to collect medicinal materials, and asked them to find some time to dig some medicinal materials near home. But they have a lot of things to do, and they don't go out much. Send it to your house, when you go back, can you go to my house and collect the medicinal materials prepared by my parents?"

The relationship between Gao Mingcheng and Huang Dazhi became closer after Huang Dazhi generously gave him two or three taels of gold. For this small request, Gao Mingcheng agreed directly without saying a word.

"Thank you." Huang Dazhi thanked him sincerely.

It is also a good thing that parents can earn more money.

Although he had some gold in his pocket, it was tightly covered, and he didn't dare to sell it yet, so he didn't have much cash in his hand.
