Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 31
Gao Mingcheng looked at the middle-aged man who was going to buy honey. The middle-aged man stared at the canned bottle for a while, then nodded and said, "Let's count it as seven taels."

If you subtract seven taels from two catties and three taels, the net content of honey is six taels per catty. Calculated at seven yuan per catty, this jar of honey costs 11 yuan and [-] cents.

Gao Mingcheng settled the account face to face, and then took the initiative to erase the [-] cents.

"A total of 11 yuan and 11 cents. You are the first to buy it. You will be charged [-] cents less. Just give [-] yuan."

Twenty cents in this year is not the same concept as twenty cents in later generations, so when Gao Mingcheng took the initiative to reduce the twenty cents, the middle-aged man immediately smiled.

"Okay! Young man, you are sincere in your business! Did you get this honey from the mountains? Is it easy to get it?" He was talking while taking money out of his trouser pocket.

How can Gao Mingcheng tell the truth, exaggeratedly said: "It's not easy, because of this little honey, I was stung by bee swarms more than ten times, and my whole body was swollen for several days, it hurt me to death! Hey, I want to It’s not easy to make some money! If honey is easy to get, everyone can eat it!”

Most people in the country have been stung by various insects. The most serious ones are wasps and caterpillars, both of which are poisonous.

Bees are relatively better, but the pain is not light.

At this time, a person suddenly said: "Last year, a young man in our village went to dig a beehive in the mountains, and was stung by a wasp. At that time, his whole face was swollen and his eyes could not be opened! That's fine, but within two days , That young man actually died! Called the doctor in the health center to see him, and said he died of poisoning! Hey, if this happens, people in our village will never dare to dig out beehives anymore.”

"Gao Mingcheng, I advise you to go less, this man is not afraid of [-], but just in case."

The man called out Gao Mingcheng's name, and Gao Mingcheng followed the reputation. The first time he saw the man, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember who the man was or what his name was.

Because of his old age, Gao Mingcheng said casually: "Uncle, I know, I can run fast!"

"Haha, yes, you run fast. You did bad things when you were young, and you were chased and beaten by your father, and you all ran to our village!"

What this person said caused a group of people to burst into laughter. After all, all the people present were from nearby villages.

And Gao Mingcheng is famous for being good at fighting, so Gao Mingcheng may not all know them, but they all know Gao Mingcheng.

Gao Mingcheng smiled awkwardly, and accepted the money handed over by the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man carefully held the honey, pointed to the bag at Gao Mingcheng's feet, and asked curiously, "What's in there?"

"It's a cauliflower snake, do you want it? It weighs about three catties."

Gao Mingcheng tried his best to sell it, selling this cauliflower snake would be enough for him to buy a catty of good meat to eat.

However, the middle-aged man was also afraid of snakes. When he heard that it was a cauliflower snake, he immediately backed up a few steps, waved his hand and left.

Gao Mingcheng wasn't discouraged if he didn't sell it.He started yelling again, but the high price of honey was not affordable by everyone.

Gao Mingcheng stayed in the market for another half an hour, but when he saw no one came to buy, he planned to leave.

Tomorrow is the market in the county. There are many rich people in the county, and they also pursue nutritious things. If they are sold in the county, they will definitely sell well.

Thinking of this, Gao Mingcheng picked up his things and prepared to leave. Of course, before he left, he had to buy some more things, so he went to buy two fried dough sticks and ten buns, and finally walked to the butcher's stall.

"I'll take this cauliflower snake and exchange you a catty of pork, do you think it's okay?" Gao Mingcheng shook the bag in his hand.

Gao Zhuang is afraid of snakes, and Grandma Xi never eats snakes, so it is useless to take this snake back, if it can be exchanged for a catty of pork, it would be good.

The butcher was somewhat interested, and motioned Gao Mingcheng to open the bag, and he wanted to take a look first.

After checking the cauliflower snake in the bag and confirming that it was still alive, the butcher weighed it with a scale. Even the snake and the bag weighed three catties and two taels.

The price of this snake meat is not fixed, but it is about one yuan per catty, and the current price of meat is two or five yuan for good meat, and almost two or three yuan.

Almost all the good meat on his stall was sold, and the rest only sold for two yuan and three yuan, so it was a good deal to exchange a catty of meat for snakes.

Thinking of this, the butcher agreed to exchange and cut a piece of lean meat for Gao Mingcheng.

Right now, fat front legs are the best meat. They are oily and tender, while hind legs are almost inferior. Pigs often kneel on the ground. The hind legs are not as active as the front legs, and the meat is also older.

After the exchange was successful, Gao Mingcheng went back with his things.

And when he was walking towards Gaojia Village, three people were also walking towards Gaojia Village, and they had already reached the foot of Niuwei Ridge.

Along the way, they avoided the people of the village, so they were not discovered.

But when he was at the foot of Niuwei Ridge, the well-informed old man immediately found some traces, he took a closer look, and whispered to his two sons: "Someone has set up a trap at the foot of the mountain. Be careful where you step, and don't let anyone see you."

"En." The two sons were alert and responded softly.

That kind of trap for prey, if people accidentally step on it, will be more troublesome. There is also a trap made of dug holes. If people fall, if they are unlucky, they will die, because some pits will fall down Insert some sharpened bamboos, so that after the prey falls, it will be stabbed by the bamboos and it is difficult to escape.

The father and son entered the mountain cautiously. Although Gao Zhuang was already on the side of Niuwei Ridge, he was on another hillside. He recently found several rabbit nests and was thinking about how to dig out the rabbit nests.

When the father and son were walking along a mountain path, Gao Zhuang turned his back on them, and happened to not see them.

Although the father and son entered the mountain safely, the whole mountain is very vast, and it is not easy to find the ancient tomb.

However, the ancients paid attention to Fengshui when they were buried, and to look at Fengshui, one must first climb to the top of the mountain, look at the entire terrain of the mountain, and then select a few places with high probability, and then carefully explore it again.

However, hundreds of years have passed, the terrain must have changed, and the graves have long since disappeared.

When they climbed to the top to watch Fengshui, Gao Mingcheng had already rushed over.

In his previous life, today's group of people went to the mountain to search for the tomb. Although he wasn't sure if there would be any changes in this life, he still cared about today and planned to guard Niuwei Ridge by himself.

After returning to the village, he first put his things at Grandma Xi's house, and then he came towards Niuwei Ridge.

Looking around, he soon found Gao Zhuang.

"Gao Zhuang, have you seen strangers enter the mountain?"

Gao Zhuang raised his head, his expression was momentarily dazed, and he said with some uncertainty: "No, right? I didn't see anyone enter the mountain."
