"We're a family, so don't talk about two families. I plan to manage the mountain together with you, and your grandma and I can take care of it, and the income in the mountain forest will be divided equally between you. After Lao Xi finished speaking, he drank the cup dry, and did not look at his two sons, and ate the vegetables by himself.

The second Xi Youming hurriedly took the wine jug, filled the wine for Daddy, and then filled it up for his brother and himself, and said happily to the eldest brother: "This is good, this is good." Daddy and Mommy were harvesting mushrooms in the mountains and forests separately, and there was no one to speak. If you can put it together, you can go into the forest together and have a companion. We come into the mountains to deliver things, and we can also arrange manpower for mountain goods, which is much more convenient. Isn't it, big brother. ”

Xi Youguang smiled awkwardly, took a sip of wine, reached out and lowered his mouth, looked at his brother and said, "Second brother, what I said a few days ago was a joke, don't take it seriously." According to what Daddy said, of course I have no problem with merging. However, you have suffered too much, you have more points. ”

"Big brother, what are you talking about. We will pay the living expenses of Daddy and Grandma in the mountains together, and we will share the income in the mountains together. If you think you're taking advantage of me, you can usually go into the mountains and let Xiaochang come and run a few more times. He is older, and he doesn't have to study and go to school, so he comes to the mountains to run around and accompany his father and aunt. Xi Youming jokingly said to the eldest brother.

Xi Youming and Xi Youguang brothers can get along in harmony, not because of a few pennies, but because of a touching scene of brothers, friends and brothers. Lao Xi and his wife looked at each other and smiled comfortably. The two brothers are still the same as when they were children, they are not distracted by the separation, and nothing has changed.

Brothers do not necessarily have to settle accounts, and it is better to have some accounts that are confused, so that the family is more harmonious and the brotherly relationship is more harmonious. Lao Xi smiled a glass of wine, took a few puffs of cigarettes from the hookah, and said happily: "At first, I lost my temper and said that those people in the village were messing around. Now it seems that the method of contracting mountains and forests in the village is good. I have basically walked through this mountain contracted by our family in the past two months. I already know what kind of mountain goods can be produced on the mountain, and what will be produced at that time. It's a pity, this mountain is too big, and no matter how diligent your grandma and I run, we can't harvest the mountain goods produced in the mountains and forests. Especially during this time, the rain begins to increase, the sun and rain interchange transpiration, and the second wave of wild mushrooms in the mountains and forests is about to emerge. With such a large mountain, no one can say how many fungi can be produced in a day, and the harvest is not clean. As the old saying goes, there are 1,000 mushrooms in this mountain, 1,000 for 1,000 people, 10,000 for 10,000 people, and you can pick three for flowers, and everyone has a share. However, we know that the main ones are wild mushroom nests, and we can always harvest more of them. ”

Xi Youguang tasted the sweetness of selling wild mushrooms in the village, so that he could see another good way to make a fortune, if it wasn't for the critical period of farmland cultivation management some time ago, he would have planned to go into the mountains to harvest wild mushrooms and sell them for money.

Hearing Lao Xi's words, Xi Youguang's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said: "The wild mushrooms produced on this mountain are all harvested by our family, and the wild mushrooms also emerge in batches. Daddy, when you found a large number of wild mushrooms, you can inform us that we all go into the mountains to harvest mushrooms?"

"Hehe, that's what I and your grandma meant. On weekdays, when we harvest in the mountains, when wild mushrooms pop up in large numbers, we inform you that you come into the mountains to help us harvest together. We'll take you to harvest a few times, and you'll be familiar with the nests that are prone to wild mushrooms. In the future, you can easily find the nest of wild mushrooms when you go into the mountains to harvest them, saving the time of climbing the mountain and running to find them. Old Xi Mei talked about his plan.

Xi Youming, who graduated from junior high school, said: "Abba, like you say, doesn't our family have a map of the distribution of wild mushrooms in this mountain? The whole mountain is contracted by our family, with your wild mushroom distribution map, in the future, when we come to the mountains to harvest wild mushrooms, we can follow the map as if we planted them at home, and we don't have to run around the mountains aimlessly." ”

"Hehe, that's not all. We can continue to raise the fungi that have been found in our nests and have not yet grown into them, and we can harvest them when they are ripe. It generally takes three or four days for wild mushrooms to mature from emergence, and if they are not harvested, they will be smelly in the mountains. Where wild mushrooms are often produced, we need to pay attention to protection and not destroy the vegetation and soil quality there. If we protect it, how many waves of wild mushrooms can we harvest in a year? Xi Youguang happily told his two sons about his plans, both of whom grew up in the mountains, and they knew what was going on in the mountains.

Lao Xi smiled and said: "Isn't this it? After remembering the wild mushroom nests that have been discovered, we can also continue to look for new wild mushroom nests and constantly supplement and improve the wild mushroom distribution map of our mountain." I don't think it will take a few years for us to be able to know everything about this mountain, and take back the most and best mushrooms and mountain goods and turn them into money. , hehe, after Xiaochang went back this morning, we harvested sixty or seventy kilograms of mushrooms on the mountain, and dug up three nests of rain (a kind of chicken fir) There are almost more than 20 kilograms, and you will pick them back later, and sell them early tomorrow morning. ”

"Daddy, the merger of the mountains and forests contracted by my eldest brother's family will start today. It's not safe in the mountains and forests, you and your grandma act together in the mountains, and you can take care of each other if you have something, and we can rest assured at home. Xi Youming didn't wait for his eldest brother to make a statement, he first expressed his support for Daddy's decision.

The rainy season is coming, and we are not so busy with farm work at home, so we can come to the mountains every day to help you harvest wild mushrooms and strive to sell them for more money. Xi Youguang also expressed his support.

"Don't just stare at wild mushrooms in your eyes, there are a lot of Chinese herbs and wild vegetables in this mountain. I plan to cultivate some Chinese herbal medicine seedlings and plant some in a suitable location. We don't have to manage it, we can let them grow naturally, and we can harvest them at the right time in the future, and we can have an extra income. Lao Xi thinks more long-term.

"Abba, I've heard that those who come to buy wild mushrooms and mountain goods have bought a lot of information for the village, and there is a lot of list of mountain goods they need. When we go back to the village cadres to ask for a copy of the information, we will see what kind of mountain goods we have here that they need? In addition to the fact that wild mushrooms are difficult to artificially breed and raise seedlings, many things that grow in the mountains can be artificially bred and raised. ”

"Abba, not only mountain goods and Chinese herbs, but also those people in the city will also buy flower seedlings such as orchids and camellia azaleas from the mountains. I heard that it is used to find out the purpose of urban greening, and there are also private purchases and plantings. There are a lot of those things in the mountains, and we usually pay attention to protecting them, and we can harvest some of them and sell them in our own plans. ”

"Hey, these can be considered. We are located in the middle of nowhere, and the road traffic is not convenient. However, remoteness also has the benefit of remoteness. If it is remote, there are fewer people from outside the mountains and forests, the situation of indiscriminate logging is not so serious, and the vegetation of the mountains and forests is less damaged, and we don't have so much trouble taking care of the mountains and forests. ”

Lao Xi, father and son, drank grain wine, smoked hookah, and chatted in the thatched hut in the mountains and forests, enjoying themselves.

According to the contract with the village, their family has the obligation to take care of the mountain and forest when they contract to harvest the mountain goods, which is also the reason why the contract fee is generally not high. In the past, there were also forest rangers in the mountains and forests in the cottage to prevent others from poaching and poaching. The Forestry Bureau will give a sum of money to the cottage to pay for the village's subsidies to the forest rangers.

Anyway, the mountain is here, even if they don't come to harvest the mountain goods, they need to take care of the mountain forest, so it is better to find something to do on the mountain. People in the mountains know that the higher the vegetation coverage, the better the soil and water conservation, and the more wild mushrooms and Chinese herbs and other mountain goods.

The climate and environment in central Yunnan are more suitable for the growth of plants, and the mountainous terrain in the mountainous areas is relatively gentle, not as steep as in the northwest of Yunnan, except for a few mountains with serious soil erosion or lack of water, and there are mountains that affect the surface because of underground mineral deposits. Most of the mountain forests with sparse natural vegetation are gradually restored as long as they are not damaged by man.

After the mountain forest is contracted, each family has the responsibility to take care of the mountain forest, and there are their own interests hidden in the mountain forest, and the care intensity will be far greater than that of those forest rangers who have been subsidized in the past.
