Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 523 Human Comfort Zone
Gao Mingcheng was very busy the past few days, so in the next two days, he didn't go anywhere and just stayed at home, mainly taking care of Xiao Xuxu and occasionally helping to sell goods.

Two days later, the days of leisurely raising the baby were gone forever, because it was time to return to the village to load the goods before going to Zhangshu to participate in the medicine fair.

Because he had already greeted Xiao Jinfeng, Gao Mingcheng went directly to the transportation company in the afternoon and drove away a Huanghe brand truck.

Although the truck production technology at this time is average, with the windshield, the driver is indeed much more comfortable. After the truck drove into Gaojia Village, it stopped at the entrance of the village.

Gao Mingcheng jumped out of the car and saw many children surrounding his car. Some naughty boys even touched the car with their hands.

As for the timid girls, they only dared to stand aside and watch with surprise on their faces.

"Don't be naughty!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile and walked towards Gao Zhuang's home.

Gao Zhuang happened to be at home. When he saw Gao Mingcheng coming, he immediately said with a smile: "Brother Mingcheng, the medicinal materials have been bagged and ready. Should we move them to the car now?"

Gao Mingcheng said: "Well, now get in the car and set off directly tomorrow morning."

Gao Zhuang immediately said: "Then let me call a few people to help. The weather has been good this year, the crops in the fields are growing well, and the medicinal materials in the mountains are also growing well."

So Gao Zhuang walked out of the courtyard and went to find Gao Liang and others for help.

With more people and strength, a room full of medicinal materials was quickly loaded onto the car.

As Gaojiacun's reputation for purchasing medicinal materials spread, nearby villages would send medicinal materials to sell.

This area is originally an area with many mountains and little water. The mountains are rich in vegetation and there are many medicinal herbs, but most of them are ordinary medicinal materials, and there are very few precious medicinal materials.

After loading all the medicinal materials into the truck, Gao Mingcheng covered the truck compartment with a tarpaulin to prevent the medicinal materials from getting wet due to rain.

Then he returned to Gao Zhuang's home and read the account book of Gao Zhuang's acquisition, and then the two parties settled the accounts.

This time, Gao Zhuang worked hard, but also made a small profit of several hundred yuan.

"Brother Mingcheng, come over here for dinner tonight." Gao Zhuang invited.

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed, and then drove back to Niuweiling.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon. After Gao Mingcheng got home, he loaded the truck with the medicinal materials he had obtained before going to inspect his territory.

Recently, there have been many more members in the family. First, Dahuang gave birth to two little black dumplings, and later five more goats were born.

In addition to dogs and sheep, there is also a sick old scalper at home.

The old scalper still doesn't like to eat very much, has a bad temper, and his eyes are red, which looks unhealthy at first glance.

But Gao Mingcheng bought this sick cow just to give it a try and turn his bicycle into a motorcycle.

Chen Dasong was still working in the chicken coop. When Gao Mingcheng passed by, he saw him shoveling chicken manure in the chicken coop.

Since there is chicken plague nearby, Gao Mingcheng requires the chicken coop to be kept clean, and the water given to the chickens to drink must also be clean. After cleaning the chicken coop, some camphor tree leaves and mugwort leaves are also spread on it.

Every other month, lime water must be used for disinfection.

Under such circumstances, Gao Mingcheng's chickens were able to survive healthily and were quite active in laying eggs every day.

As of now, the money spent on buying chickens has been earned back, and the next step will be pure profit.

However, winter is coming soon, and after winter, hens will not be so active in laying eggs.

"Mingcheng, you're back! All the honey in the mountains was shaken yesterday and placed in your empty room." Chen Dasong greeted Gao Mingcheng with a smile after seeing him.

Gao Mingcheng nodded. He had ordered Chen Duofu to do this before returning to the county.

He said to Chen Dasong: "I'm going to Zhangshu tomorrow, and I plan to take Duofu and Duoxi with me. What do you think?"

When Chen Dasong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said repeatedly: "Okay! If you have anything to do, just tell them to do it. These two brothers are quite capable and can do the work!"

The last time Gao Mingcheng sent Fan Licheng back to Jingdezhen, Chen Duoxi took the initiative to say that he wanted Gao Mingcheng to take him out to see the world. In the end, Gao Mingcheng took the two brothers out together.

During that trip, both brothers saw the world. They were very excited when they came back and often mentioned it to their parents.

Now that Gao Mingcheng is taking the two brothers out to learn more, Chen Dasong naturally agrees.

Gao Mingcheng had already expected it. He just mentioned it to Chen Dasong first, and then said: "Okay, let them get ready and bring a change of clothes. It will be cold at night, so bring something thicker." coat."

Chen Dasong nodded repeatedly, saying that he would be ready, and then asked Gao Mingcheng whether he would eat at his house tonight or what the arrangements were.

When he learned that Gao Mingcheng was going to eat at Grandma Xi's house, he said nothing more.

After scooping up all the chicken manure and pouring it into the nearby manure pile with a dustpan, he went to the pond, washed his hands and face, and went home happily. He wanted to tell the two people the good news. A son.

Chen Duofu is much calmer, but Chen Duoxi will definitely be too happy to sleep!
Gao Mingcheng came to the area where oranges were planted. Looking at the oranges hanging on the branches, he couldn't help but reach out and pick one to eat. He peeled off the green orange peel and found that the pulp inside looked full. After taking a bite, the juice was also If it's too much, it'll be sour.

But if you are not afraid of sourness, you can still eat it.

Gao Mingcheng finished one orange without changing his expression, and then refused to pick the second one again!
He inspected the mountains for a while and then checked the condition of the Camellia oleifera trees. The Camellia oleifera trees were already covered with Camellia oleifera seeds, but they had to wait until the frost fell before picking the Camellia oleifera seeds. At that time, the Camellia oleifera seeds would mature and have a high oil content.

At this time, he saw Zhang Chengyuan driving an ox and five sheep down another hillside.

Zhang Chengyuan is responsible for grazing the livestock at home. Every morning, he will lead the cattle and sheep to a place with rich water and grass. In the afternoon, he will move to another location to ensure that the cattle and sheep have enough to eat.

"Baaa~" The goat is adaptable quite well, bleating while following behind the leader.

The black tiger and the elf also turned into shepherd dogs at this time, following the sheep, and whenever any sheep left the group, they would chase them back.

Seeing this scene, Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised. Black Tiger had activated a new skill point, he was self-taught!

"Brother, are these goats easy to raise?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Goats are not very courageous and may be frightened if they move to another place.

Zhang Chengyuan is not a talkative person, so he only said: "It's okay."

Gao Mingcheng had no way to get the answer directly. He could only observe the situation of the sheep. They might be in company. These five sheep looked pretty good.

Okay, let’s keep it for now, and when the first snow comes, we’ll be ready to drink mutton soup!
Gao Mingcheng was thinking about drinking mutton soup, but Zhang Chengyuan was thinking about what to feed the sheep in winter.

They are not like the north, where the snow is as thick as three inches in winter, but they are not as warm as spring like the south. They are in the middle of the country, where they have four distinct seasons, that is, it is very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. !
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Sheep love to eat sweet potato vines and peanut straw. The sweet potato vines and peanut straw in your field are not enough to last the whole winter."

Gao Mingcheng didn't care, and said: "It's okay. If there is nothing to feed, just kill the meat and eat it!"

Zhang Chengyuan pursed his lips twice and fell silent.

But after putting the sheep into the sheepfold, Zhang Chengyuan still said: "These sheep include male sheep and ewes. They look pretty good. You can keep them to give birth to lambs."

When Gao Mingcheng heard this, he suddenly realized.

He stared at the leading sheep. It was a ram. It looked pretty good. It was a good breeding sheep and could reproduce itself.He thought for a moment and said, "Brother, you have to figure it out! Just keep one male and one female!"

After hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan felt better and couldn't help but say a few more words: "When the sheep are born, you can raise them yourself or sell them for money. It's a good deal!"

Gao Mingcheng nodded, indicating that he had been taught.

There are large herds of wild boars and countless hares in the mountains. There is really no need to eat our five goats.

Too extravagant!
After deciding the future of the sheep and sheep, Gao Mingcheng went to see the two little black dumplings.

At this time, the two little black dumplings were able to open their eyes, but they had difficulty moving and could only walk around the kennel.

Dahuang did not follow Black Tiger and the others around, but stayed at home to take care of the puppies with maternal love.

Gao Mingcheng reached out and picked up the puppy. The little puppy was quite cute and had very fine fur, but in fact the puppy's fur was a bit rough and not as smooth as the big dog's.

Gao Mingcheng was not satisfied with playing with the puppies, so he started playing with the black tiger and the elf.

These two majestic wolf dogs in front of the sheep were lying on the ground, letting Gao Mingcheng stroke them!

Gao Mingcheng was having a great time petting the dog, but he saw Zhang Chengyuan standing by and watching, and did not go back immediately.

"Brother, do you want to pet him too?" Gao Mingcheng asked, gesturing to Zhang Chengyuan to pet the dog together.

But Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Mingcheng, do I want to go to Zhangshu with you this time?"

Gao Mingcheng was stunned and immediately said: "No, this time I will ask brothers Duofu and Duoxi to go."

When Zhang Chengyuan heard this, instead of being disappointed, he was relieved.

Last year, Gao Mingcheng asked him to go to Zhangshu, but he was not good at socializing with others and was not very helpful along the way. He also suffered from motion sickness while riding in the car.

He was naturally relieved if he was not allowed to go now.

"Okay, I'll go back first." Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile on his face.

Gao Mingcheng also smiled, knowing that Zhang Chengyuan was not suitable for that kind of work, so he did not take Zhang Chengyuan with him this year.

Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at. If you do the things you are good at, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and if you do the things you are not good at, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Only when everyone finds their own position and lives in their comfort zone can they live a relaxed and comfortable life.

Of course, this refers to spiritual ease and ease.

Sometimes when you break your comfort zone, you will get different results.

After Zhang Chengyuan left, Gao Mingcheng washed his face and hands, took twenty eggs from the bamboo basket filled with eggs, and then led Black Tiger and Elf towards the old village.

It was getting dark, and there were already thousands of lights on.

Walking on a country road, you can faintly see the smoke rising from the chimney in the dusk light.Most of the children have gone home and are waiting for dinner, but some naughty ones are still playing outside.

"Gao Ying! Your mother told you to go home for dinner!" Gao Mingcheng suddenly slapped a little kid on the butt, startling them.

These children were playing a fighting game with a few sticks, but when Gao Mingcheng frightened them, they all dispersed and went back to their homes.

"Haha." Gao Mingcheng, who had done something bad, laughed happily.

People with childlike innocence like him are rare in the village.

Gao Mingcheng was in a great mood and went all the way to Grandma Xixi's home.

Gao Zhuang made a fortune by purchasing medicinal materials, and he had already guessed that Gao Mingcheng might return to the village today, so the food on the dinner table was quite sumptuous.

There was meat, eel, and a plate of stir-fried rabbit.

Gao Zhuang also took out rice wine and said with a smile: "Brother Mingcheng, I caught this eel a few days ago. It has spit out the mud and sand. The rabbit was caught with a snare."

"Come, drink and eat meat." Gao Zhuang poured a full glass of wine for Gao Mingcheng, and also poured half a glass of wine for Grandma Xi and He Xiuman.

This rice wine is grain wine, so eating less of it is good for your health.

At the dinner table, Grandma Xi also mentioned Gao Mingcheng’s raising of sheep.

She said: "I have planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year. I only have one pig at home, so I can't eat that many. I will cut some sweet potato vines and dry them to feed your sheep."

Grandma Xi did grow a lot of sweet potatoes this year and planned to use them to make sweet potato flour.

Her family raises a pig. This pig is usually not killed. It is raised from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and then the whole pig is sold to the pig dealer. After a year, without the money spent on buying piglets and feed, she can still make a profit. About 300 yuan.

But this 300 yuan was actually earned through labor. I had to go out every day to cut pig grass, chop it into pieces, cook it, and feed it to the pigs.

With hard work day after day, the little piglets can grow into big pigs.

Gao Mingcheng made some calculations in his mind and felt that Grandma Xi's family was indeed rich, so he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, it doesn't take too much. By the end of the year, I plan to kill two or three for food, and only one male and one female will be left."

Grandma Xi smiled. Gao Mingcheng was willing to accept what she gave, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart. She felt that she had helped the child and that she was still useful.

She added: "Then I will leave some straw for you! Sheep don't like to eat straw, but cows can eat it."

Grandma Xi’s family has three acres of farmland, and there is naturally plenty of straw.

Gao Mingcheng did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

I was quite happy to eat this meal. The eels caught by Gao Zhuang were very big, and they had spit out all the sediment. The meat tasted very good.

And the method of frying eels here is different from other places. Most places kill the eels first, then cut them into sections and stir-fry them. Here, they directly pour the live eels into the oil pan and fry them.

After pouring the live eel into the pot, you must cover the pot immediately, otherwise the eel will run out. When the eel in the pot stops moving, you can open the pot lid and fry the eel until it is slightly browned on both sides. Chili and seasoning.

The eel produced in this way is whole. It will curl up after being cooked. The blood and internal organs are also inside. When eating, you need to gently bite the belly meat and then discard the internal organs. As for the blood, that is fine. It’s edible, and they think eel blood is very nutritious.

The reason why the eels are fried alive is to eat the blood.

Some people may not be able to accept this approach, but Gao Mingcheng is used to eating it, and it is quite enjoyable. A large eel is more enjoyable than eating small bites.

　I'm really sorry. Sometimes if you look too fast and find something wrong, please wait for a while, refresh and then look again.

　　Because I am in a hurry and will make modifications immediately after updating.
