Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 54 Cutting Trees
After drinking a bowl of cool mung bean porridge, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Zhuang felt much more comfortable.

In the days when there were no refrigerators, the villagers also had a trick to cool down, that is, put the porridge in a basin of cold well water after taking it out, so that the hot porridge would cool down quickly.

Gao Mingcheng ate two bowls of mung bean porridge and another bowl of dry rice.

Grandma Xi knew that they must be tired today, so she stewed the remaining yellow mussel meat, and also fried scrambled eggs with chili peppers. This dish was nutritious and suitable for dinner.

After eating, Gao Zhuang felt pain all over his body and lack of energy, so he said he was going to lie down and left.

Gao Mingcheng also returned to the room where he lived temporarily, but instead of lying down to rest, he took out the money in his trouser pocket and put it with other money.

After his rebirth, he has been thinking about this ancient tomb all the time. Now that the tomb robber has been arrested and the contents of the ancient tomb have been taken away by the people from the Cultural Bureau, this matter is completely over.

The next thing he has to do is make money!

As the saying goes, rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to eat water.They are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are very few water resources, so the source of money has to fall in the mountains.

He currently has a large jar of honey that has not been sold yet.

Before he came back from cutting honey from the mountains, but there was no container to fill it, so he put it in a bucket. Later, when Grandma found out about it, she found him a big pot made of ceramics. This big pot used to be used to hold pickles Yes, now it has been washed clean by the fine grandmother and filled with sweet honey.

But this is only a temporary transition, and then he has to buy some containers for honey, preferably plastic jars, so that he can directly weigh it on the scale without removing the weight of the jar itself.

Also, he plans to get a carpenter to make some beehives.

Cutting wild honey is not dangerous for him, but it is also troublesome.

If you make some beehives and put them in the deep mountains, and then go to the mountains to harvest honey every other month, it will be much more convenient and the output can be guaranteed.

In addition to making honey, it is hunting.

He has good physical fitness now, runs fast, and can hit small prey with stones, but this is not enough. He has to find a way to hit large prey, but there is no rush, he already has a way to solve it.

Besides, the weather is still hot now, if you catch too many prey, you won't be able to keep them unless you sell them immediately.

In addition to these two, there are other treasures in the deep mountains - that is medicinal materials.

There are many kinds of medicinal materials, but some are precious and some are cheap.Cheap medicinal materials can be seen everywhere, and precious medicinal materials are hidden in the mountains.

The mountains here are not very rich, so there are not many precious medicinal materials. The most famous ones are two, one is Ganoderma lucidum and the other is Poria cocos.

It is already the beginning of September, and at the end of September, they can go to the mountains to get these two medicinal materials. After they are dried, they can be brought to Zhangshu City, the capital of medicine, to sell.

Zhangshu City holds a drug fair every year, usually during the two days from October 10 to 16. When you arrive at the drug fair, you can see that there are densely packed stalls set up by drug dealers, and all kinds of medicinal materials can be found at Find it here.

In addition to those who sell medicine, there are also those who see a doctor and make medicine. Anyway, everything related to medicine can be found here.

In his previous life, Gao Mingcheng had never been to a drug fair because he had never been in this industry, but later he met a drug dealer and heard what the drug dealer said.

So after being reborn, he felt that since Qingshan gifted the treasure, it should not be wasted. Their village is too remote, and no one comes to buy medicinal materials, but they can send the medicinal materials out of this small mountain village and send them to the medicine fair!
After calculating all the things to be done in the future, Gao Mingcheng had a clear idea. He changed into a clean dress, and went out into the mountain with an axe.

There are two ways to calculate money when looking for a carpenter to do work. One is that the carpenter supplies the materials and work, which is definitely more expensive.

Gao Mingcheng planned to produce the materials himself.

There are such things as wood all over the mountains, so there is no need to spend more money.

However, the trees on the hills near the village are all distributed to each villager, while the trees in the deep mountains are considered to be the state's, and in principle, they cannot be cut down illegally, so Gao Mingcheng went to the mountains to cut trees. Squeeze the wool of the country.

Fortunately, as long as this kind of thing is kept away from people, so that people don't know about it, and people don't report it to the higher authorities, the problem won't be too big.

It’s okay now, he remembers that after the 90s, it was once popular in the village to steal wood and sell it for money. A piece of wood four or five meters long and ten centimeters in diameter could be sold for 30 yuan.And lumber with a diameter of 50 centimeters can be sold for [-] yuan.

This profit is quite good, so many people will go to the mountains to cut trees secretly, and even outsiders will secretly go to the mountains on their side to cut trees.

At that time, the life of the villagers generally began to improve, and most of them had enough energy to build houses, and building houses required a lot of wood, so the wood was quite easy to sell.

Gao Mingcheng avoided people and entered the mountain smoothly.Holding an axe, he ran quickly in the mountains, and the mountain wind blew on his body, blowing away the heat all over his body.

He kept running until he reached a place that was almost inaccessible, then slowed down and began to look around, looking for suitable wood.

There are two kinds of wood that are suitable for making beehives, one is fir and the other is paulownia.

Chinese fir has good corrosion resistance and is free from insects. After being made into a beehive, it can be used for decades. If it is painted with tung oil, the service life will be extended.

Tongmu also has corrosion resistance and insect resistance, but it is not as good as fir, but it is light in texture, and it is easy to move after being made into a beehive.

Gao Mingcheng is strong and does not value the lightness of paulownia wood, so he prefers fir, because this beehive will be placed in the wild, and fir can be used for decades without any anti-corrosion measures. good.

After searching in the deep mountains for a while, Gao Mingcheng found a suitable fir tree. He visually estimated that the diameter of this fir tree was fifteen centimeters. If he sold it, he could sell it for 50 yuan.

Of course, although he was short of money, he had no intention of cutting down trees to sell.

It is not a big problem if you only use the national wool for your own use, but if you sell it in large quantities, it will be easy for people to notice the clues, and you may be in trouble at that time.

After choosing the tree, Gao Mingcheng started to work.

There is no chainsaw at the moment, and you have to rely on an ax to cut down a tree. It takes a lot of effort to cut down a tree with a diameter of [-] centimeters.

Fortunately, he has great strength now, so he swung the ax and chopped down heavily, leaving a small gap in the trunk.

He continued to swing the axe, and each cut hit the same part, and the edge of the knife was very smooth, which showed that he had good hand-eye coordination and good control.
