Return to the small mountain village in 1986
Chapter 566: Pohu bird, how much do you know?
When the rattan suitcase was opened, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but look at the contents inside.
Maozi had received a lot of goods from him before, but most of them were mid- to low-end goods and not very valuable.
But this box of goods broke his previous understanding of Maozi.
Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but take advantage of it and looked at it carefully.
The items in the box are quite miscellaneous, including small pieces of porcelain and jade, as well as ancient coins and Yuan Datou, as well as small pieces of bronze. One of them is in the shape of a tiger. However, due to maintenance problems, the bronze is already covered with green patina. The rust is still deep in many areas.
Gao Mingcheng carefully looked at the tiger-shaped bronze in his hand, thinking that without a professional restorer, the patina might not be removed.
He put down the tiger-shaped bronzeware first, and then looked at the beautiful plates.
There are several plates, including blue and white porcelain and colorful character story plates. Judging from the craftsmanship, they seem to be from the Qing Dynasty.
There are also two snuff bottles, one made of porcelain and the other made of jade. Both are small, exquisite and extremely cute.
In addition, there are actually two paintings of Bada Shanren. One painting shows a lone pine, and the other shows dead wood and an eagle. The painting techniques are very characteristic of Bada Shanren, but for ordinary people, it is difficult to see The clothes are quite ordinary.
Gao Mingcheng held a green frog jade toy in his hand and exclaimed: "Not bad! Maozi, where did you find so many good things?"
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng was satisfied, Mao Zi immediately smiled proudly and whispered: "These things were all collected at Jiuyangji!"
"Jiuyangji? Did you go to the next county?" Gao Mingcheng knew Jiuyangji. Jiuyangji is right next to Junshan Lake, and Junshan Lake is also rich in hairy crabs. In later generations, the hairy crabs farmed there were often Ship it here and sell it.
Maozi chuckled, glanced at the monkey's house next to him, and whispered: "Not long ago, someone roped in the monkey and said they were going to Jiuyangji to catch swans. As long as they catch swans and sell them to the provincial capital, they can make a profit. Big money!"
"There are naturally more swans in Poyang Lake, but there are also more people there. Outsiders can't get involved at all, but there are fewer people in Jiuyangji. The ones who pull the monkeys into the gang are the locals there. They are responsible Catch the monkeys and send them quietly to the provincial capital so that they are inconspicuous and will not be noticed."
"Before the monkey went out, he called me again. I can't collect any good things around here, so I might as well go with him to help with the hunting, moving the goods, and then go over there to collect some things. "
"I'm telling you, the people here used to just dig holes and bury things. They rely on the talents at the lake to hide things at the bottom of the lake!"
"There are also people who hide things on the islands in the lake. During the flood season, the islands in the lake are submerged in water. When autumn and winter come out, few people come to see the situation. The situation has improved in recent years. , some people went to find out the things they had hidden before.”
"But I arrived late. Those smarter people have already sold their things to the provincial capital! Hey, I still collected these things bit by bit in the village."
As he spoke, Mao Zi let out a long sigh, his face full of regret.
Gao Mingcheng was quite surprised when he heard this. He hadn't seen Mao Zi for a while, and he didn't expect him to do such a thing.
There are really swans in the Poyang Lake area now. In addition to swans, there are also many precious migratory birds. These migratory birds all come to spend the winter. They are active in the Poyang Lake area every year in late autumn and early spring.
A folk song once described it this way: "How many birds of Po Lake can be seen? When they fly, they cover up the clouds and the moon, and when they fall, no grass beside the lake can be seen."
From this folk song, we can know the spectacular scene of migratory birds wintering in Poyang Lake.
Since ancient times, rich people have been fond of delicacies from the mountains and seas. For rich people, wild boars are not willing to eat because they dislike the meat, roughness and fishy taste.
The only game in the mountains that catches their eye is yellow muntjac, turtle dove and other good-tasting game.
But the precious birds that spend the winter in Poyang Lake every winter have become the first choice of the rich. Regardless of whether they taste good or not, the ingredients are rare, it is just a point of showing off.
The swans in Poyang Lake are little swans. In addition, there are white cranes, gray cranes, wild geese and ducks. These birds are all good-looking and rare ingredients. Once caught, the price in the market is quite high.
If Gao Mingcheng wanted to get rich by hunting, even if Gao Mingcheng hunted all the wild boars in Niuweiling, he wouldn't be able to get rich. But if he could go to Poyang Lake to get birds for the winter, he would definitely be a little rich.
Precisely because of the huge profits, the number of migratory birds is gradually decreasing, and in the future, artificial protection will be needed.
Mao Zi didn't know what Gao Mingcheng was thinking, so he said: "Brother Mingcheng, when I come back this time, firstly, I am worried about my family, and secondly, I have no money left. I want to sell my things and then go there." .”
Gao Mingcheng said in surprise: "Are you still going?"
Mao Zi said: "Of course, they are still catching birds. I can go over and help, and I can make two shares of money."
One part is the money for helping, and the other part is the difference in price from the antiques he collects and sells.
Gao Mingcheng thought for a while and said: "I remember that the arrests over there should be strict. When you go there, be careful. If you are caught, you will go to jail."
Mao Zi didn't take it to heart, and said carelessly: "What am I afraid of? I'm just here to help move things and deliver goods! They are the locals who catch the birds. I heard it's all related. Just be careful and don't make a big fuss. Just do it.”
When Gao Mingcheng saw this, he said no more.
However, Mao Zi's incident also reminded him of something.
It seems that hunting has been gradually banned since last year, and it will be implemented this year.
However, their efforts here are not strong. Although there are many mountains, they are not the hardest hit areas for hunting, so the implementation of the policy is relatively slow. What Gao Mingcheng most often hunts are wild boars and hares.
Although wild boars have become a common animal, they have strong reproductive capacity. After being protected for a few years, they will completely overrun and then go down the mountain to eat the crops planted by villagers. The conflict between humans and wild boars will escalate day by day.
Therefore, wild boars were later removed from the list of three species, and cities gradually opened up wild boar hunting.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng even forgot that he could no longer hunt wild boars.
However, since ancient times, people have always ignored officials. If you kill and eat secretly and no one knows, then it will be fine. You are afraid that others will find out and then use it to prove the crime, which will be more troublesome.
This incident reminded Gao Mingcheng that he could still go into the mountains to hunt wild boars, but the movement should be quiet and no outsiders would know.
After making a decision in his heart, Gao Mingcheng temporarily forgot about the matter and began to evaluate one by one.
He didn't let Maozi set a price, but made his own estimate. If the price was right, the deal would be made, and if it wasn't, he would wait.
Maozi nodded for most of the prices. Sometimes he smiled, sometimes a little reluctantly. From his expression, you could tell what he was thinking.
Because the goods were good, Lin Lin finally got them and got a thousand pieces.
This can be regarded as Maozi's most rewarding time. When he counted the money, he was smiling all over his face.
With just such a delay, it was already one o'clock at noon. Yangyang, who was hungry and had not eaten, was sitting aside with a look of grievance on his face, but he did not make a sound to disturb him, but his body was swaying uneasily. Gao Mingcheng glanced at his watch and said apologetically: "Go and cook quickly. I think Yangyang is already hungry."
Maozi glanced at his younger brother, and Yangyang immediately gave him a look of aggrievedness.
Maozi immediately reached out and touched his brother's hair, and comforted him: "Yangyang, go and light the fire. We'll cook noodles for lunch, put eggs and meat for you! We'll cook the rice in the evening!"
"Yeah." Yangyang responded and went to light the fire with a smile.
Gao Mingcheng also closed the rattan suitcase and walked towards the tractor with it.
In order to facilitate the loading of things, he also bought this suitcase, but because it was relatively old, the price was not expensive.
When Gao Mingcheng took his things and drove the tractor back to the store, Gao Shufang and the others were eating, but they left a portion for him to warm in the big iron pot.
This winter, the food gets cold quickly, so Gao Mingcheng never lets them wait for him to go back to eat, and lets them eat while it's hot.
Many Mei helped lift the lid of the pot and took out the warm food inside.
"Mingcheng, why are you back so late? Hey, did you buy apples?"
Gao Mingcheng held the suitcase in one hand and the apple given by Xiao Jinfeng in the other.
He handed a basket of apples to Duomei and said, "This is a gift from Brother Xiao. They are big apples grown in Shandong."
He saw a few pieces of grapefruit pulp on the table, and saw the grapefruit peels soaked in the wooden basin next to him. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "You guys are so quick, you are ready to pickle the grapefruit peels!"
Gao Shufang ate all the rice in the bowl in a few seconds, and said positively: "We are not making pickled grapefruit peel this time, we are going to make another kind! Aunt Hu learned it from her neighbor, saying that the recent weather Okay, it’s suitable for drying, and he said he would make some for us to try.”
"Okay, how about making something new and eating it out." Gao Mingcheng said with a smile, then sat down and started eating.
After working for a long time, he was really hungry. He ate two bowls of rice in a row and finished all the dishes. Then he put down his chopsticks with satisfaction and burped.
It is said that a cigarette after a meal is better than a living god. In his previous life, he would have lit up a cigarette and stayed in the mist for a while, but now, he chose to stand up and walk slowly to eat.
Although he moved to his new home, his room was still his, and the bed was covered with a quilt, making it easier for little Xuxu to take a nap.
When he went upstairs with his suitcase, Xiao Xuxu was already fast asleep, while Duo Mei was standing by. When he saw Gao Mingcheng coming in, he only smiled with a crooked eyebrow and said nothing.
Gao Mingcheng went to get a basin of water and prepared to perform preliminary cleaning and maintenance on the newly received antiques.
Everything else is easy to deal with, but the rusty bronze is a bit difficult to deal with.
Gao Mingcheng looked at it carefully. He didn't have a professional rust remover. If he washed it with vinegar, it would leave ugly yellow marks.
So after thinking about it, I decided to soak it in hot water to remove the rust in the bronze lines and the superficial patina first.
So Gao Mingcheng took the bronze vessel downstairs, found a separate small basin, and soaked it in hot water.
Taking this opportunity, Gao Mingcheng called Gao Shufang to his side.
"Shufang, the day after tomorrow is your fourth brother's day off. I plan to give you a week's leave. Then I will ask your fourth brother to take you back to Gaojiacun. As for you, just stay at home and spend some time with grandma."
Hearing what her second brother said, Gao Shufang's eyes widened in surprise, her face full of disbelief and joy.
"Haha, okay! Second brother, I really miss the village and my grandma!" Gao Shufang was as happy as a child. She had already begun to think about what to buy to take back to her grandma and parents.
I also heard that my sister-in-law gave birth to a niece for her, so the gift must also include the niece's share.
Seeing Gao Shufang's happy look, Gao Mingcheng didn't say that Grandma Gao had Alzheimer's disease.
Because Gao Shufang is willing to accompany her grandma from the bottom of her heart, as long as she goes back, this companionship will not be discounted.
But Gao Mingwan was different. If he didn't tell him that Grandma Gao was going to be old and confused, Gao Mingwan wouldn't think of going back to visit.
This is the difference between men and women, and it is also the difference in emotional distance.
Seeing Gao Shufang happy, Gao Mingcheng was also very happy.
Luo Li, who had a big belly, was more interested in the topic of having a boy or a girl. When she heard that Gao Mingcheng's sister-in-law had given birth to a daughter, she couldn't help but touch her belly and wonder whether the child in her belly was a boy or a girl.
She was a little worried about gender. After all, her mother gave birth to several daughters in one breath, and it was not until later that she finally gave birth to a son.
Luo Li is not afraid of having more children, but she can't have more children!
Family planning has been implemented for a long time. Here, ordinary people can have two children, but workers in the system and factories can only have one!
In other words, unless Huang Dazhi stops being a policeman, Luo Li can only have one child.
But Huang Dazhi finally became a policeman, moved his household registration to the county, and bought land to build a house in the county. How could he be willing to be a policeman?
Therefore, Luo Li's inner pressure was a bit high.
She was afraid that like her mother, everything would bloom first and bear fruit later.
But my mother still had a chance to get results, but she didn't.
It's just that it's hard to say this to anyone, so she can only bear the pressure alone.
In the morning, Gao Mingcheng was very busy, but in the afternoon, he felt much more relaxed. He stayed in the store for a while and looked at the accounts. He thought it was time to get off work, so he was going to the police station to talk to Gao Guobing. Let's go home together and give Gao Guobing some wild boar meat by the way.
Everyone has given it away, so of course they can’t but give it to Gao Guobing!
It's just that it's not easy to take it to the police station, and it's not necessary. Now that the two families live close to each other, they can just have the meat delivered directly to their homes after get off work.
He hadn't been to the police station for a while. As soon as he went to the police station, he was stopped by Huang Dazhi first.
When Huang Dazhi saw Gao Mingcheng, he also had a smile on his face and said, "Mingcheng, you are finally back. Come, let's go aside and talk."
"Okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed obediently, and walked side by side to a secluded place with Huang Dazhi. (End of chapter)
