Return to the small mountain village in 1986

What fell on the ground was a banyan tree. The banyan tree has a characteristic, that is, it has many aerial roots. At the same time, the banyan tree is also a common tree species here in Yangcheng.

This banyan tree fell down obitoto. At first glance, it looked like a tornado had blown the tree down.

But if you look closely, you can tell the clues.

The other trees were safe and sound, but this tree fell across the intersection!

With its roots and soil attached like this, it is naturally heavier. Most people cannot move it at all, but Gao Mingcheng is not an ordinary person.

Under his leadership, the four people actually moved the tree away.

Xiao Ma and others looked surprised. In fact, they had encountered this situation before, and in the end they spent money to eliminate the disaster.

Because they couldn't move the tree blocking the car at all, and they didn't dare to confront others head-on, they could only suffer the loss of being dumb.

But this time, they actually moved the tree away!
  However, the person who put the tree here to block the road would naturally not give up, so a group of people soon appeared.

They were dressed in ordinary clothes and did not hold weapons. They looked like people passing by together. But before they could say anything, Gao Mingcheng had already restrained them with the sound of a gunshot.

The black hole pointed the muzzle at the crowd that suddenly appeared, and Gao Mingcheng shouted coldly: "Get out!"

He had been familiar with these tricks his whole life and was too lazy to spend time arguing with them.

The scene fell silent. Not to mention the people who appeared, even Director Wang and others were shocked.

After a few seconds of silence, one of the people on the opposite side said: "Well... we were just passing by and wanted to see if you wanted to help. Since you don't want to help, we'll leave first."

With that said, they quickly dispersed.

When Director Wang saw that everyone had left, he immediately praised Gao Mingcheng.

But Gao Mingcheng ignored him and came to the back of the car.

Seeing signs that the lock had been damaged, I couldn't help but curse.

"What's wrong?" Director Wang asked confused.

Gao Mingcheng pointed to the lock and said, "When we were moving the tree just now, someone went behind the car to pick the lock and steal something."

It was also because they moved the tree quickly and Gao Mingcheng made a decisive decision to drive the person away that the person who picked the lock retreated.

All kinds of things can happen when people are on the road. The people who appeared just now did not take weapons directly, which means they do not intend to rob openly. But once Gao Mingcheng and others get in touch with them, the person responsible for picking the lock will That would give people enough time to pick the lock and steal something from the car.

Gao Mingcheng said briefly, Director Wang and others were also frightened.

After the crisis was resolved, Director Wang was unwilling to stay here for a long time, so he urged Gao Mingcheng to drive quickly.

The next two hours went relatively smoothly.

After entering the city, Director Wang and others were completely relieved. The two parties were going to different places, so they stopped at the intersection and said a few words to say goodbye.

Director Wang took out a cigarette from his bag and gave it to Gao Mingcheng.

Thanks to Gao Mingcheng, they had saved a small amount of money from losing before. He had to remember this favor. They are factory workers and don’t often go on long-distance sports cars, but Director Wang is smooth in doing things, and there is a loss allowance when he goes out.

Seeing that Director Wang gave it from the bottom of his heart, Gao Mingcheng accepted it.

After the two parties separated, Gao Mingcheng drove towards Fan Chengyao's warehouse.

Before departure, we had already made a phone call in advance and stated the specific arrival date. As for the specific time, there is no guarantee. After all, we may encounter many accidents along the way.

But for Gao Mingcheng, the journey has been smooth.

When he arrived at the warehouse, the unloaders guarding the warehouse unloaded the goods and put them in a special place. After Fan Chengyao came to check the quality of the goods, they weighed them and calculated the money.

"Mr. Gao, we have called Boss Fan." Soon, a person in charge of managing the warehouse said to Gao Mingcheng.

The warehouse is equipped with telephones to facilitate timely communication. In big cities, the penetration rate of telephones is relatively high.

About ten minutes later, Fan Chengyao came. He personally checked the quality of the medicinal materials, then gave a price, and then weighed and calculated the money. The same was true for the honey.

Fan Chengyao looked at a bag of ginseng and said, "Didn't you encounter wild ginseng at the medicine fair this time? That one is the most valuable."

When Gao Mingcheng heard the word "wild ginseng", he couldn't help but sigh and said: "I met them, but it's not my turn to buy the older ones, but there are also a lot of people rushing to get the younger ones. I bought these It’s ginseng from the forest, and it’s already of good quality.”

Domestic large-scale planting of ginseng began in the mid-30s. After the market was opened in the early 40s, a large number of planted ginseng entered the market. Because ginseng has different grades, although ginseng is also grown, the price fluctuates greatly, and the place of origin harvests it uniformly. The price is 15-200 yuan per catty, and the market sales price is [-]-[-] yuan per catty.

There are two types of cultivated ginseng. One is understory ginseng, which is half-planted and half-wild. It was planted for a longer period of time. This kind of ginseng is of good quality and expensive.

Another type is garden ginseng. Garden ginseng is grown entirely as a vegetable. It is planted intensively, fertilized, and the year is short, so it is cheap.

The ones that can really be used as medicine are forest ginseng and wild ginseng. Among them, wild ginseng with good quality and old age is hard to come by, and the price is ridiculously high.

The batch of goods that Gao Mingcheng took included not only raw sun-dried ginseng, but also red ginseng. Raw sun-dried ginseng was dug out, washed in the soil, and then dried and stored directly. Red ginseng was steamed and then sun-dried, because after steaming, , has a faint red color, so it is called red ginseng.

In addition, there is also a kind of ginseng called white sugar ginseng. This part of ginseng is made from ginseng that does not grow well or is interrupted during the harvesting process.

The method is to poke many small holes on the surface, then soak it in high-concentration sugar water, and then dry it in the sun. This kind of ginseng is called white sugar ginseng, which is white ginseng.

The quality of white ginseng was not good, and it was difficult to preserve because of the added sugar, so Gao Mingcheng did not want this kind of product.

Fan Chengyao also knows that wild ginseng is hard to come by, but it can also be found in the Changbai Mountain area, or in Zhangshu, Anguo and other places. However, you have to prepare a large amount of money in advance and buy it from a reliable person, otherwise you will be scammed. risks of.

The two of them had been friends for a long time. After talking about business matters, they had a meal together and talked about some recent news in the market.

Hearing those things that he had experienced or heard about in his previous life, Gao Mingcheng sighed in his heart. In this era where everything is possible, some people have become the trendsetters of the times, some have followed the trend, and some have been ruthlessly photographed by the waves. On the beach.

The city and the countryside seem to be separated into two worlds.

Gao Mingcheng shuttled between cities and small mountain villages, feeling like a time traveler.

After saying goodbye to Fan Chengyao, Gao Mingcheng went to the clothing factory to purchase goods, then found a reliable hotel to stay in, and waited until early the next morning before going to the place Xiao Jinfeng had contacted to load goods.

This time, it was thousands of miles away. Gao Mingcheng drove alone on the road, and the scenery on the roadside kept retreating, like time quietly passing by. (End of chapter)
