713.Pine oil (2)
Contrary to Ao Muyang's expectations, for several days, there was no movement in Wangjia Village.
Ao Muyang wondered, Wang Youwei really has a long memory? This is impossible, he guessed that maybe Wang Youwei is now busy finding a relationship to solve his son's problem, and he has no time or energy to deal with himself.
It just so happened that he was starting to have something to do.
Now that spring has arrived, the weather has warmed up, and the pine trees have grown pine needles and pine oil, which is a good time to cut pine oil.
If you want to make a bed, you have to have pine oil, Ao Zhiman has no stock at home, so he wants to take advantage of the spring to go into the mountains to cut pine oil.
He had a pine oil knife at home, so he brought some bags, buckets, and rope, and prepared all the tools, and took his grandson Ao Jinfu and went into the mountain.
Ao Muyang went to look for them after learning the news, but the grandfather and grandson had already left home at that time, so he had to let the general smell the smell and lead the way, and went down the mountain road to find the grandfather and grandson.
Finding the grandfather and grandson, Ao Muyang first handed them a bottle of mineral water, and then said: "Master Man, there are very few people who cut pine oil now, I haven't seen the pine oil team for many years, have you noticed?"
Ao Zhiman sighed: "No, now that the big guy's life is better, who wants to go to the mountains to wind and sleep in the open and suffer this crime? Cutting pine oil in the mountains is more tiring than going out to sea to fish." ”
For a long time in the past, cutting pine oil was a common job in fishing villages.
The job is as simple as cutting a groove of a certain size on the pine tree with a spatula on the pine tree of a certain age, and then hanging a plastic bag or bucket under the groove to collect the pine resin flowing from the pine wound.
Pine oil has a wide range of uses on the market, has a high value, civil can be brushed on furniture, make it beautiful and anti-corrosion, insect-proof, waterproof, industrial can be used in papermaking, paint, soap and ink production.
In addition, more derivative products can be obtained after chemical treatment of pine oil, such as the paint industry often uses the carboxyl reaction of resin acid in pine oil to make resin esters and resinates, while the synthetic rubber and ink industries use the double bond reaction of resin acid to make disproportionated rosin, polymerized rosin, hydrogenated rosin, etc.
However, pine trees that have been cut with pine oil are generally difficult to grow, and over-harvesting can directly lead to the death of pine trees.
In recent years, the state attaches great importance to environmental protection, and strictly prohibits people from entering the mountains to cut pine oil without permission, so as to prevent the death of pine trees because of self-interest.
Ao Muyang caught up with the two of them just for this matter.
After chatting with Old Man Ao Zhiman for a while, he quickly cut to the topic and mentioned this issue, saying: "Master Man, is it that the country does not allow you to cut pine oil now, so the big guy will not come to do this?"
Ao Zhiman said: "The country does not allow uncontrolled cutting of pine oil, does not allow the pine trees to be harmed, I have a trick in this regard, we have eaten a lifetime of food by relying on the mountain, and have dealt with the mountain for a lifetime, how can we do such a stupid thing, right?"
Ao Muyang smiled bitterly: "Actually, I don't think it's good for us to do this, there should be pine oil sold in the market, right? Why don't you buy some?"
Ao Zhiman shook his head and said: "Those pine oil is mixed with vegetable oil, and now the people have lost their conscience and forged anything, they are ignoring the king's law in vain." Besides, the pine oil on the market you think is collected legally and compliantly? Many of them are also stolen, so it doesn't matter to us, you just follow me, nothing will happen. ”
Wang Dongliang has just been arrested for breaking the law, and it is not only Wang Youwei who has learned a lesson from it, but also his Ao Muyang.
Ao Muyang said: "Master Man, we are not short of money now, you also said that it is very hard to cut pine oil, so why should we suffer this crime?"
Ao Jinfu, who was silent, would speak, and he snorted and said, "Brother Village Chief, don't be tired, just hang on the tree and make a few openings." ”
He has lived with his grandfather since he was a child, and the old man Ao Zhiman occasionally comes to the mountains to pick pine oil, and he has experience in this area.
In contrast, Ao Muyang has little experience, his parents have always let him study hard, and they want to change his fate by taking the university entrance examination, so they haven't taken him into the mountains to work much.
Later, he failed to go to university, but he did not go to the mountains, but went to the capital to work, so he couldn't do the job of picking pine oil.
However, he had heard from the villagers that most of the work had to be done on the trees, because when people were on the trees, they had to work with their hands, so they had to have strong feet and legs that could hold the trunk.
The thicker and taller the pine tree, the more rich in pine oil, people have to climb to the upper end of the tree when picking pine oil, more than ten meters away from the ground, once accidentally falling, it is almost helpless, it must be fatal, after all, this is working on the mountain, falling will fall on the stone.
Ao Muyang dissuaded the grandfather and grandson, and there were also reasons for their safety.
But the old man was very stubborn, and didn't listen to him at all, and said vigorously: "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just make you three beds, and I won't need much pine oil, a matter of a day or two." ”
Ao Muyang insisted and said: "We are not short of money, Master Man, let's go buy some pine oil, can't we get it? Can't all pine oil on the market be fake, right? Let's look carefully, how can we find the real thing?"
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "We are surrounded by the real thing, so why go to the market to find it? It costs more money, what is this? Take off your pants and fart, it's too much!"
It was reasonable, Ao Muyang said a lot and didn't make sense, and then he ran out of words, and said: "Okay, I'll go with you, and many people will have more certainty." ”
The old man Ao Zhiman didn't want to bother with him, so after listening to his words, he nodded: "Okay, okay, let's work together, anyway, at most the busy work will end tomorrow." ”
Walking up the mountain, the old man continued: "Village chief, I know you don't want to do anything illegal, let's not do anything illegal, how many of the pine trees on the mountain are planted by people in our village? Besides, the state does not allow the destruction of forests, and we have the skill to cut pine oil and not harm pine trees, isn't this not illegal?"
Ao Muyang smiled bitterly and nodded, the old man's words reminded him of the famous sentence of the leopard's head in "Jiupin Sesame Official", 'If Lao Tzu doesn't give money after he finishes it, isn't it considered a prostitute'......
Remembering that the old man said that he might have to work until tomorrow, he asked, "Master Man, if we have to be busy until tomorrow, what should we do at night?"
The old man shook his head: "No, live in the mountains." ”
Ao Muyang was taken aback: "We don't have a tent here, the wind on the mountain is cold enough in spring, how can we carry it?"
Ao Jinfu said sullenly: "It's okay, brother village chief, there is a pine shed on the mountain." ”
"What is a pine shed?" Ao Muyang wondered.
Ao Jinfu looked at him with strange eyes and did not speak again.
Ao Muyang understood the meaning of his eyes, so he said: "Your village chief brother and I have never done this job, how can I understand the professional terminology in your mouth?"
