In the blink of an eye, it's the weekend again

The weather at Moon Lake also seems to improve with the arrival of tourists, with highs of 20 degrees during the day and lows of seven or eight degrees at night, so it will be a sunny weekend.

Taking advantage of the good weather, the villagers went into the mountains to hunt pine nuts and pick mountain treasures, and the usually quiet mountains and forests became lively again.

"Madman, you kid hurry up?" Seeing that other villagers had entered the mountain one after another, Uncle Er Niu sat in the courtyard of Zhang Feng's house, and urged him restlessly.

"I know, it's okay right away, it's really the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry!" Zhang Feng rolled his eyes, changed into a camouflage uniform, put on his back a basket, and prepared to set off with a flat shoulder.

", I think your kid is Chiguoguo's jealousy, we have been comparing sizes since we were children, you haven't won, okay?"

", can you be the same as a cow?" Zhang Feng rolled his eyes, Uncle Er Niu is a cow egg, and he is really talented.

"Okay, you two don't quarrel, let's go quickly, if it's a little later, the good places will be swept by everyone!" At this moment, Zhang Yi persuaded with a smile.

"Let's go!!"

The two of them no longer talked nonsense, and drove three wheels with equipment on their backs and galloped towards the back mountain, and soon came to the back mountain, parked the car at the intersection of the mountain road, and the three of them carried a flat burden and a basket on their backs and walked towards the mountain.

To the north of Moon Lake is a vast mountain with dense forests and abundant products, including not only a variety of precious mushrooms and fungus, but also pine nuts, wild walnuts, wild chestnuts and other dried fruits.

This time, everyone went into the mountains to go for the pine nuts in the pine forest, which were not worth much at all before, and there was no consumer market in the local area.

But with the vigorous development of Moon Lake tourism in the past two years, the wild pine nuts that no one cared about in the mountains have actually become a precious specialty, and almost every foreign tourist who comes to buy one or two catties to take back.

As a result, the pine trees in the Qinglong Mountain have once again become everyone's cash cow, and they can earn thousands of yuan if they go into the mountain casually and beat a few dozen catties.

Now everyone goes into the mountain for two or three days every month, and every time they go on the same day and come back on the same day, they can earn thousands of yuan once they go.

In addition to going into the mountains to beat pine nuts, we also buy them from outsiders, because Qinglong Mountain covers an area of hundreds of miles and spans several nearby counties and cities, so there are many pine nuts in other places.

Up to now, Moon Lake pine nuts have made a big reputation, especially among tourists, so the village has agreed to register a trademark, but unfortunately it can't be bought online now, because everyone's pine nuts are not enough to sell, and they have not yet formed a scale.

But even so, now everyone can earn three to five thousand a month just by selling pine nuts, which is almost equivalent to the income of an ordinary office worker.

Walking on the rugged mountain road, Zhang Feng asked Uncle Erniu:

"Uncle Erniu, your family also hired employees today?"

"Nonsense, how can I have time to go into the mountains without asking someone to help, and now every household has opened a homestay, if I don't invite someone, where can I be busy?" Uncle Er Niu rolled his eyes.

"Huh, your iron rooster is actually willing to spend money to hire people, is it really rare?" Zhang Feng joked with a smile, although Uncle Erniu's family was also very busy in the past, it was always a family of two, but now he is willing to spend money to hire employees.

"Get out, Lao Tzu is an iron rooster, you are Zhou Papi, you always catch other people's strong men all day, or hire child labor!" Uncle Er Niu stared wide-eyed and retorted.

"Now the labor is also rising so fast, the two small workers hired by my family are three thousand and a half a month!" At this moment, Zhang Yi also shook his head and said.

"Well, the labor cost has indeed increased a lot now, but my family only hires temporary workers, only every weekend, 150 yuan a day, including two meals. Uncle Er Niu nodded and said.

With the full rollout of cooperatives, the labor cost of the entire Qingshan has increased a lot, except for the city people, almost all the farmers in the countryside grow Moon Lake vegetables at home, and the rich labor force will not stay in the county, and will go to the big coastal cities to work.

This has caused a shortage of local labor, for example, the temporary workers hired by Uncle Erniu's family, both of whom are elderly women in their fifties and sixties, and their wages used to be only about 100 yuan, at most 12 yuan, but now it has increased to 150 yuan.

"Uncle Er Niu is really worthy of being an iron rooster, he even came up with such a way to save money, one hundred and five a day, and only eight days a month, then he only needs to pay 1,200 yuan, and two people are two thousand four ......"

"I'll go, it's not as good as the salary of an employee in my family!"

After Zhang Yi calculated, he felt that Uncle Erniu was really good at calculating, and thought to himself if he should do the same? Because Moon Lake is not so many tourists every day, everyone can still be busy on weekdays, and only on weekends will it be full of tourists, so as long as you ask for helpers on weekends.

Walk on the mountain road

Uncle Er Niu is also very happy, because I don't know how long it has been since the last time I entered the mountain.

Stepping into the mountains again, he felt like a bird flying out of a cage, flying freely in the mountains and forests.

All this is because the family hired helpers, otherwise he has to stay at home every day to work, busy from dawn, picking vegetables in the morning, cooking for tourists at lunch and dinner time, and taking care of the vegetables in the fields in the rest of his spare time, watering, fertilizing and weeding.

But now it's finally good, the family has invited someone to help, and I finally have free time, and I can also follow everyone into the mountains to shop, who said that this time there is something to do in the mountains, but as long as you leave the village and the fields at two points and one line, Uncle Erniu's heart is very satisfied.

"Yo, are you here?"

"Such a good place is occupied by the two of you!"

"Hehe, who let you boys come late, if you come late, you can only go into the mountains!" the second master and the running mountain master said triumphantly.

Everyone smiled, said goodbye to the two old men and continued to march towards the mountains, this big mountain, there are pine forests everywhere, so everyone is not worried about being beaten by the first people.

As long as you are not afraid of hardship, trouble, and continue to walk deeper, you can always find a pine forest that everyone has not set foot in.

Along the way, Zhang Feng and the three of them met five or six groups of villagers, all of whom walked in groups of threes and threes, after all, the mountains are not very peaceful, and the wild boars and black bears in the deep mountains will come out from time to time to go around, so everyone must go together, so that they can help each other when they encounter fierce beasts.

After walking for about an hour, the three of them finally found a forest full of pine towers, which was remote and could not be visited by ordinary people, so the three of them observed the surroundings and found that there was no danger, so they began to act, quickly climbed the tall pine trees, and beat the pine towers on the trees with prepared bamboo poles or branches.
