Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 164 How much money can you make from 100 pounds?

"Hongqi, I know."

Wang Tianxiao smiled.

"Isn't it just for use when the spleen and stomach are weak?"

"That's right, that's what it is."

Sure enough, he found the right person, and Li Muyang was very happy.

"What, you want red qi? That stuff is not easy to get. If you only want a little bit, we have it on the east peak of Yangziling over there, but they are very small. There are more of them in one or two years.

If you want good ones, go to Xifeng.

Red Astragalus prefers dryness, so it lives on the top of a mountain, without access to water, and needs more sun.It doesn't grow well in ordinary places. "

"Xifeng, are you talking about Xifeng in Yangziling?"

"That's right, even though they are both Yangziling, the environments of West Peak and East Peak are different.

Yangziling is a "Xiazi Mountain", with the west side being much higher than the east side.

Therefore, many things that are not available in the east will be found in the west, and they are longer and better than those in the east.

Especially the red qi that you mentioned.

Why does it have high medicinal value? Do you think it has something to do with the growth environment? "

"It should have something to do with it, right?"

"That must be related. Think about it, those precious medicinal materials all grow in the mountains. Ginseng, snow lotus, and Ganoderma lucidum are the most precious in the mountains.

By the way, I heard that Cordyceps has appeared in our area recently. I don’t know about Cordyceps, but it is also a good thing.

You can see that these medicinal herbs are all grown in high mountains, and they are not all affected by the high mountain climate.

Of course, red qi is not as valuable as those things, but the quality of Dongfeng is completely incomparable with that of Xifeng. "

"Oh, that's it. I need some red sage now. Can you get it for me?"

"you want?"

Wang Tianxiao was stunned, "Looking at your body, there is nothing wrong with you. Your face is rosy, your words are full of energy, and your vitality is very strong."

"Oh, it's not for me... I won't go into details. I still need a lot. As long as I can get the goods, I can buy them at a high price."

"Really?"

Wang Tianxiao's eyes flickered a few times.

Li Muyang could tell that he must have thought a lot in an instant.

I probably figured out how to dig it.

People's eyes can often reveal their thoughts.

If it flashes up and down, it's probably when you're preparing to lie. If it's shaking from side to side, it's probably when you're thinking or remembering.

Wang Tianxiao's eyes flickered from side to side.

"I don't know the specifics yet. I think I'll need to weigh 100 pounds in the first stage."

"100 catties?!"

Wang Tianxiao exclaimed.

"Yeah, 100 pounds, what's the problem?"

"Are you going to use it for food? It's still 100 kilograms. Where can I find so much for you?"

"Is this thing difficult to do?"

"If you use less, you can find some on the East Peak, but if you insist on 100 kilograms, you must go to the West Peak."

"Then go to Xifeng to pick it up."

"See how easy you say it~"

Wang Tianxiao said angrily, "You can go to Xifeng if you want to, but you don't know that there are wild boars and jackals on Yangziling.

If one is not careful, not to mention not being able to collect the medicine, others will have to get in.

You thought that was a joke.

Those beasts are not like humans, and they are still trying to reason with you. They are the ones who will come to demand your life as soon as they see that their momentum is weak. "

Li Muyang couldn't help but be stunned.

He has been on Taoshan side, and he really doesn't know what's happening on Yang Ziling side.

There is a valley between Taoshan and Yangziling, with cliffs on both sides. If you don't go around Wangjia Village, you can't get through.

So he never went to Yangziling.

I had only heard people say that there were various wild beasts here in Yangziling, but I didn't expect it to be true.

But when he saw Wang Tianxiao saying this, there was no fear in his eyes.

Then I thought about it, he was a forest ranger.

This wild boar and jackal are nothing.

I heard that the early forest rangers had real guns and live ammunition.

Yangziling is a branch of Ziwuling and is managed by the forest farm.

Ziwuling is an important mountain range spanning Shaanxi and Gansu, and many places are covered with virgin forests.

In the early years, whether ordinary people built houses or made furniture, even the firewood under the pots was all made of wood.

The price of wood has remained high.

In particular, Ziwu Ridge is mostly made of fir, pine and cypress wood, as well as some lacquer trees and the like, all of which are quite valuable.

As a result, tree theft continues.

The ranger's main task is to drive them away.

But in this era, the rule of law is not perfect, surveillance coverage is not comprehensive, education is not universal, and there are many desperadoes in mountain villages.

They may kill people and throw them into the mountains just because of a piece of wood.

In the vast mountains, a person is buried, where can I find him?

Basically, a record of the case is kept, and then there is no follow-up information.

Maybe unless there was a mudslide in the mountains one day, no one would ever know that someone had been killed in the mountains.

Forest ranger is also a high-risk profession.

Patrolling with a gun is the minimum guarantee.

"Hehe~, it's a bit difficult for me, but you are an old ranger. You must know how to deal with those guys, right?"

"I can't do it.

In the past, when I was stationed at the field, I was equipped with a gun, five to six and a half. Later, I was transferred from the field area to the nursery, and the gun was taken away.

Without a gun, humans would definitely not be able to take down the wild boar.

That wild hoof ran like a mountain, and no one could stop it.

No dog can escape. "

Wang Tianxiao seemed reluctant.

Li Muyang had no choice but to use his trump card.

"To tell you the truth, I also think this matter is difficult to handle, but I can't bear the fact that people are willing to give more money..."

When Wang Tianxiao heard about the money, his eyelids twitched slightly.

Obviously, he was moved.

Maybe he has been waiting for the money from the beginning.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

He raised many difficulties, but they were just waiting for a price.

"Old Wang, think about it, as long as you can get the things back, the reward will be easy to discuss.

If you make a batch, you can make a profit from selling eggs in a few days.

Moreover, it may be said that Dongfeng is dangerous, but that may not necessarily be the case.

I seem to have heard someone say somewhere that ferocious beasts like wild boars only appear on the west peak of Taoshan in winter. In spring, summer and autumn, because there is sufficient food, they generally do not come to Yangziling..."

Wang Tianxiao was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Li Muyang was prepared in advance and was not completely in the dark.

He was slightly embarrassed, lowered his head to pick up the eggs, and said nothing for a while.

In fact, he and Li Muyang have similar personalities, they are both honest people.

It's just that he was engaged in a small business like selling eggs and had a certain business acumen, so he knew that Li Muyang needed red qi, so he thought of raising the price.

You can order as many as you want.

This is not always the case when talking about business.

As a result, he was exposed in person, and it was an acquaintance, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Old Wang, do you think this will work? I'll give you 8 yuan for a pound of red qi..."

"8 yuan?"

Wang Tianxiao was shocked.

"Well, it's 8 yuan per catty. We need 100 catties for the time being. If you can, you can take me to pick it with you. I'll give you the amount you want.

Anyway, it’s only 8 yuan per pound. If you pick more, you’ll get more.

What do you think? "

Wang Tianxiao was obviously moved.

Eight dollars.

One catty is eight yuan, so if you can dig out dozens of kilograms, it will be several hundred yuan.

Selling eggs by yourself only costs four or five yuan a day at most.

I've been there in windy and rainy weather, and if I can barely earn 90 or [-] yuan a month, it's pretty good.

This one pound and eight yuan is simply too profitable.

"What do you think?"

Li Muyang struck while the iron was hot.

Wang Tianxiao was silent for a moment, then put all the eggs in his hand back into the box, wiped his hands with a towel and asked: "What kind of disease is it? Are you willing to spend so much money to buy red root?"

"I'm not sure about this. It's just that people heard that the red qi root here is good, and they happened to know me, so they entrusted me to help with it.

The specific reason why it is too deep has not been mentioned, so there is no need for us to ask, right? "

"Too."

Wang Tianxiao nodded, took out a roll of cigarette paper from his pocket, and took out a cigarette pouch from the cloth bag next to the basket, spit in the palm of his hand, and started rolling cigarettes.

This look is almost the same as Li Muchi's.

Because the paper is relatively dry, if it is not stained with some saliva, it will not be able to be rolled up.

"Okay, for the sake of money, I can give it a try."

"That's a good feeling."

“However, if you want to go to the West Peak of Yangziling, you can’t be reckless.

I need to prepare some things first...

If you don't go, it will be for nothing. Those of you who have never been in the mountains are very brave.

I don’t know at all, putting people in the forest is nothing.

You have a gun, right? But guns are useless. You also need brains, patience, and experience, all of which are indispensable. "

"That's for sure, so why don't I come to find you now? I know you're in an old trick."

"Let me tell you, our Qingcheng city is surrounded by mountains. Why are there villages living on other mountainside areas, but not Yangziling?
Isn’t it just because there are so many wild things on Yangziling?

Go to our village and ask. In the early years, people often went to wander in the mountains. But in the past two years, there have been fewer people?
Isn’t this just because I was scared..."

Li Muyang listened to Wang Tianxiao's long talk, but actually knew that his real intention was to show that it was not easy to dig red qi into the mountains.

So he just listened silently and joined in to say a few words from time to time.

Until Wang Tianxiao finally said he was tired and concluded: "Well, I'm going to find someone to prepare some gunpowder or something in the next few days. If I encounter something, I can't do it with bare hands.

By the way, I see that you are in good physical condition. Why don't you go into the mountains with me to have some fun? "

"Can I?"

Li Muyang asked with a smile.

Of course he was ready to go into the mountains.

If he can go in and find the right place this time, even if Wang Tianxiao doesn't want to, he can take the people there by himself.

As for self-defense weapons, he doesn't know how to use a gun.

If that doesn't work, you can practice with someone using an old shotgun.Guns are not allowed these days, and you can still play for a few years. As long as you want to, there are still some people at the foot of the mountain who have a dick.

It's totally possible.

That's the way farmers are, they always have some free time every year.

Even if you are tending orchards, it will be fine if you wait until September of the lunar calendar to keep the fruit trees warm, and you can rest for at least four months.

During this time, you can go to Ziwuling to have some fun.

"Old Wang, do you know where I can get an old gun?"

"What old gun?"

"Isn't it just that kind of old shotgun, the kind that can use gunpowder."

"What do you want that for?"

"Hehe~, didn't you say that Xifeng is a bit risky? I think if I had a gun in my hand, I would be more confident, wouldn't I?"

Wang Tianxiao said angrily: "What are you thinking? Do you think the gun can be used by anyone who wants to use it?

When it comes to guns, those who can use them are called guns. Those who can't use them are just fire sticks. They don't do anything. They might as well get a sickle.

Besides, this old gun is not easy to handle.

Although many houses in our village have old guns, they are all passed down from ancestors. Even if they are not used, they are kept at the bottom of the box. How can they be easily given away?

I think you'd better not think about it. "

Li Muyang was not in a hurry when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, just ask slowly for me, just in case there is a chance.

It’s okay if I don’t know how to use it. I can practice it, and not everyone is born with it.

Besides, I think it's quite simple for people to use that old gun. They point it directly at the prey and knock it down with a snap. "

Wang Tianxiao glanced at him and said with a smile: "You think it's easy, but eating is easy, why can't even the little baby eat it?
That's what people know how to use, so it seems simple.

If you can't use it, it's nothing.

Maybe instead of helping you, the gun will become a burden?

Do you think those beasts in the mountains are just like you hunting rabbits, just lying in the ground and letting you beat them?
Let me tell you, many beasts in the mountains are much faster than you, and they may want to bite you to death before you even think about attacking them.

You'd better save your worries. "

"Oh."

Li Muyang scratched his head, maybe he really thought too simply.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long term. I'll ask for you. If I have any news, I'll let you know..."

Wang Tianxiao saw that he was a little embarrassed, so he softened his tone: "But you have to understand that the damage caused by the old gun when shooting wild animals is not serious enough, unless you hit important places such as the eyes or belly, otherwise it will be useless at all.

Moreover, this also requires distinguishing wild animals.

For example, a wild boar has rough skin and thick flesh. If you shoot it in the back, it will be no different than scratching an itch.

On the contrary, it may annoy them.

Crazy wild boars and ordinary pigs are two concepts...

Forget it, you won’t understand even if I tell you so much, just have an idea in your mind.

Don't think about confronting them head-on. Although you have a good physique, we humans don't rely on our bodies to survive.

In terms of physical fitness alone, there are many things that we cannot compare with.

I still have to use this place..."

Wang Tianxiao pointed to his brain.

Li Muyang smiled and nodded.

He miraculously discovered that Wang Tianxiao was usually a nice person, but once he mentioned things like these in the mountains, he seemed very professional, his speaking speed would speed up, and his eyes seemed to have light.

It can be seen that although he has left the mountains, he still has great affection for the position where he has worked for many years.

"Okay, this is settled, I'll ask you..."

Wang Tianxiao was talking about someone coming to buy eggs, so he went to greet him. Li Muyang exchanged a look with him and said goodbye.

He took Mi Dama to the nursery again, and took some saplings first, preparing to go back and take time to graft.

The temperature required for grafting cannot be too high, so it can only be done sooner or later.

At noon, if you can persist, you can pollinate with Midama.

For pollination, hot weather is even more suitable than cold weather. Higher temperatures are more suitable for pollination.

After buying the saplings, he came out of the alley and saw Midama looking a little unhappy.

Pouting a big mouth.

I guess it’s been a long wait.

I bought him another twist, and he became happy again.

Laughing like a child.
.
Li Muyang and Mi Dama were returning home from the market, but they saw two people standing at the intersection of their homes.

I identified them from a distance and found that they were the village chief Li Jianshe and the clerk Li Wanrong.

Then I remembered that since the last chat, it seemed that I hadn’t seen the village chief for a long time.

As for this Li Wanrong, he is the village chief's loyal lackey.

Miraculously, he and his wife are both Christians.

I don’t know how these things spread to the village. In the early years, there were several in the village.

But it disappeared later.

Li Muyang only remembered that in the early years, Li Wanrong and his wife had to go to the city every week to worship. Anyway, he didn't understand the mess.

Li Muyang doesn’t have much faith...

Oh, if I have to say something, it would be to be a good person...

He knows that it is difficult to be a good person, and he also knows that good people usually have little reward. He is not a little kid, and he understands these truths.

But he still wants to do his best.

He wondered, everyone will die, so since they are destined to die, why do they still live?
This question has been bothering him.

One day in his previous life, he was "picking saplings" in the nursery.

Because when saplings are cut or planted, there may often be many companion seedlings.

These seedlings are completely unusable.

If you keep them all, the root will not have enough nutrition.

Not only are these saplings unable to survive, but they may also cause the main saplings to die due to nutritional deficiencies.

Therefore, manual intervention by cultivators is required to remove all waste seedlings that are not growing well.

While Li Muyang was doing this, he suddenly saw the useless seedlings being pulled out of his hand, and his mind suddenly went crazy.

He figured it out.

People are just like these seedlings. In fact, they cannot choose how they come into this world.

Waste seedlings are not born to be waste seedlings, it may just be because they were born in a bad location, leading to malnutrition, and in the end they had to grow sideways.

But more waste seedlings actually have the same position as the main line seedlings at the beginning, but in the process of growth, the two gradually become very different.

Some can absorb nutrients desperately and grow upright and strong, while others are stretched diagonally and have no vitality at all.

What is left in the end can only be upright.

Li Muyang never resented that he was born poor. He just wanted to try his best to grow up and grow upright.

If he has done this and is still strangled by the big hand of fate, then it is not him who is at fault, but those hands.

He has no regrets.

Therefore, his main belief in being a kind and good person has always been his main belief throughout his life.

He believes that although people think that it is difficult to be a good person, in fact, most people still want to be surrounded by good people, not those with moral problems.

Since good people and bad people are all there for life, why should you make your life miserable?

Just like this Li Wanrong...

He believes in Christianity, and Li Muyang has seen some things about Christianity on TV and in movies.

Know that the essence of this kind of teaching is fraternity and kindness.

But I see many religious people who are sanctimonious and pretentious.

What he still cannot understand is that those who have done wrong can be forgiven immediately as long as they repent.

It's so fucked up.

If everyone can be forgiven easily after making mistakes, then who will give them justice to those who have been hurt?

A good person does good deeds throughout his life, but if he does only one wrong thing, he will be regarded as a loser and be cast aside.

Isn't it funny that a bad person has done bad things all his life, and then suddenly puts down his butcher knife when he is about to die, but is praised as a prodigal son for turning around?

Therefore, Li Muyang has no interest in any sect.

He would also go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, but this was only based on a wish for a better future and was a different concept from religious belief.

Just like a person blowing out birthday candles and making a wish.

It's not that I hope someone can help me realize my wish, but that my destiny will become more in line with my wishes.

In view of these, Li Muyang has never liked Li Wanrong very much.

But what is depressing is that Li Wanrong is his neighbor.

It's very sad that this happened.

Li Muyang's family is a household in the southernmost part of Lijia Village, next to Taoshan. Behind his house, a few steps up the back, is Li Wanrong's family.

Li Wanrong's family is not particularly wealthy, but it is not bad either. All four sons have wives and two girls are also married.

My life was generally pretty good.

It was his third son who had some brain problems.

When I was young, one day I suddenly seemed to go crazy. I took a knife and chased people around the village, but fortunately I didn't cause any serious trouble.

He just chopped his wife...

He was originally going to jail, but he was diagnosed with mental illness and stayed in a mental hospital for another four or five years.

After coming out, I felt that the treatment was almost complete.

But when talking to people, sometimes he suddenly smiles sinisterly, which still looks a bit cold.

His wife left with her son, and he lived alone.

Interestingly, he happened to be the fourth brother who inherited the "mantle" of his parents and became a Christian.

I sat on the ground reading a Bible all day long.

The land to the north of Li Muyang's house is in front of their house. Sometimes when Li Muyang goes to the north to fold day lilies, he can see the guy looking at the Bible seriously and mumbling.

It's pretty scary.

Li Muyang had always greeted children in his previous life, so he tried not to provoke this guy.

He estimated that the man actually had some mental problems and had not been completely cured.

I really don’t know what will happen suddenly.

The farther away the better.

Now, when he saw these two guys standing on the path in front of his house, he felt slightly uncomfortable.

If they come over on their own initiative, there must be nothing good going on.

Some time ago, because of the Cordyceps incident, I don't know if it counts as offending Li Jianshe. Now that the dust has settled and the Cordyceps digging is finished, it is really not impossible to settle the accounts in the future.

Huh~
He thought for a moment and grinned.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about.

He, Li Muyang, has always been upright and fearless.

If Li Jianshe insists on causing trouble, then you shouldn't be afraid of him, right?

What happened to the village chief?

Li Jianshe's tribe is not as big as his own.

Even if something happens, it's hard to say who will have the upper hand.

　Lara and equalization, small chapters merge into big chapters.

　　The uniformity is too low and I can’t wait for recommendations. Please understand.

　　The number of words is not short, just two chapters merged into one. Don’t say that I have become one update.

　　Again, the number of words is no less.
