14. Chapter XIV
"In the past, we had a lot of fat cabbage here, but later the price outside was high, and there were more hawkers who collected mountain goods. As a result, this harvest is now basically gone. The day before yesterday, my fourth cousin came to ask me if I could collect it, and now that it is forbidden to collect it, how can I collect it? "Feng Junhui has only been collecting mountain goods for a few days, and there is nothing of value left on the edge of the mountain. This made him a little worried.
Fortunately, people nowadays have a little bit of environmental knowledge, and every time someone sends mountain goods, Feng Junhui also tells him to pay attention to sustainable development. Don't be like you used to search for land, where there is almost no grass growing. He had just seen a few pits that had dug up wild mushrooms and buried them back, so that wild mushrooms would grow here next year.
Li Kaize was familiar with the things on the mountain, and Cheng DΓΉ was no less than Feng Junhui, and as soon as he entered the mountain, he began to observe everywhere, and said at this time: "I think this piece is okay, you can talk to the people in the village about this matter more when the time comes, and let them pay attention to it." Communicate with the cadres in your village and ask them to help strengthen the publicity, and nothing should happen. If it really doesn't work, then cut the way to collect the mountain goods. β
Compared with many rural villages, where the ditches, streams, and dams are full of plastic garbage and glass slag that have been dumped, Feng Junhui's village is really much better. A few years ago, the youngest son of the village chief's family said that it was not good to expose the garbage, and everyone began to burn or landfill the garbage by themselves.
When it comes to environmental protection regulations, such a practice is definitely not in line with the norms. But at least there is no wind blowing plastic bags flying all over the sky, sewage flowing everywhere, and glass slag all over the ground.
"Twing!" Bird Da, who had been leaning on Feng Junhui's shoulder, suddenly flew into the grass next to him and called at Feng Junhui.
Feng Junhui walked over and found a few ground melons hidden under the dense grass, and there were many thumb-sized ground melon fruits hanging on the vines. The cyan spindle-shaped fruit is already ripe, and there are only a few plants, so I picked it back and mixed it cold, and it was just right for two people to eat.
This little melon is very fond of the people in their village, especially for lactating women, who eat enough milk and replenish their bodies. The taste is crispy and tender, and it is also a refreshing dish when eaten cold, especially when eaten with pasta.
"It's a good thing, and I've seen people grow it in other places. Li Kaize also came over to help pick it.
"Whoever has a child in our village also grows this. Feng Junhui replied. In his heart, he began to wonder if he would let the villagers plant all the wasteland. This thing doesn't need to be taken care of, and it will be somewhat harvested in the fall. Moreover, the melons can also be classified as mountain goods, and the people in the village plant them in the deserted land, and they do not apply fertilizer and medicine, which is no different from the wild ones.
The two walked all the way, and Feng Junhui took some photos when he saw things that might become products in the online store in the future. Occasionally, Li Kaize was asked to act as a person who picked mountain goods. But no matter how Feng Junhui took it, he avoided his face very skillfully, but the photo was really picking mountain goods seriously, which can be used in the online store.
The two walked deeper into the mountains, Li Kaize opened the way in front, and Feng Junhui followed his footsteps, which was much easier. On the way, Feng Junhui also picked a lot of seemingly ordinary things, and even occasionally picked up one or two pieces of dirt or stones to take away. Li Kaize just watched and didn't say anything, but he silently wrote down all the things that Feng Junhui took away in his heart.
The two climbed over the hill closest to the village and saw a waterhole and a mountain stream waterfall more than ten meters high. Bird Da seemed to be very afraid of water, and when he heard the loud sound of the waterfall pouring down, he did not dare to go in this direction again, and flew into the forest to play by himself.
Feng Junhui wanted to come to this waterhole to play, which was a paradise when he was a child. The river near the village is water from the mountains, shallow and narrow, and it is not interesting to play in the water. There was a lake five or six miles from the village, but the water was too deep and it was a salt lake, so I didn't dare to play with it. This waterhole became a water park for a group of children in the village.
The edge of the pool is not very deep, and the deepest point under the waterfall is not more than 1.5 meters. Most of the stones under the waterhole are washed smooth by the current, and they do not cut people. Looking at the time, it is estimated that he will be able to walk here today, Feng Junhui decisively took off his shoes and walked into the pool.
This waterhole is quite large, but there are no fish and shrimp, probably because the water is too cool and there is not much aquatic grass to cover. But there are quite a few small colorful stones in the shallow water. Nowadays, this kind of stone has also been developed, called Kunlun color stone, which is used for carving and decoration. However, the value is not high, unless it is encountered with a strange pattern, which can be called a strange Kunlun colored stone, then the value has to see how strange the bottom of this stone is, from tens, hundreds to tens of thousands.
When Feng Junhui was young, the little girl in the village liked to collect this kind of colored stone, but there were not many such colored stones in the mountain stream next to the village. The girls don't come to the mountain pools to bathe and play, so they will ask the boys in the family to pick them up and take them back when they play.
Seeing these small stones, Feng Junhui squatted down again and began to pick them up. He used to have a small jar with a lot of these small stones. There are gorgeous reds and blues, and they are very beautiful. However, it was not known where the little jar had been placed, and he hadn't seen it since he was in high school. Of course, after that, he rarely came to this waterhole again.
It's just that there are other uses for Feng Junhui to collect these colored stones today. The color of the stone is mostly due to the color of the minerals it contains, or the color of the minerals after oxidation. From these colors, it is possible to deduce which mineral the stone contains. For example, the red ones may have iron oxide, the green and blue ones may have copper oxide, and so on.
Li Kaize was more direct, took off his clothes, and swam to the depths of the pool, swimming around under Feng Junhui's nose with only a pair of trousers and pants, and there was no pressure at all. The stones were washed down with the streams of the mountain streams, and some of the large colored stones are still under the waters closest to the waterfall.
He had great strength, swam to the depths, and was not afraid of the water that came down from the waterfall, so he directly picked up the stones at the bottom of the pool and threw them into the shallows. I don't know how this person's eyesight was exercised, and he can see the underwater stones clearly, and he picks up brightly colored and peculiar shapes, and the speed is not slow.
On those stones, some of them have circles of patterns, and the color of each circle is different, which is particularly beautiful. There are also some large ones, with abstract patterns composed of various colors. Unfold your imagination, and the characters, flowers and plants may be seen on the stones. There are also chrysanthemum-patterned, spiral-patterned, and honeycomb-shaped stones that have been washed out because of the water potential, and they are all beautiful in different shapes.
Especially if you take these colored stones to polish them, the brilliance will come out immediately, and they are full of moisture, and they look no worse than ordinary jade. With a strong light flashlight, it is still transparent and shiny. In fact, people who don't understand jade don't need to spend a lot of money to buy good jade, and wearing these colored stone jewelry is absolutely beautiful.
"I think your online store can also sell some stones, these small colored stones are polished, and then they can be simply made into a shape, and they can be sold as jewelry with holes. Rising from the water, Li Kaize wiped his face, shook the water from his hair, and said.
"I'll go back and ask someone about this. Feng Junhui also thinks this is good, the Kunlun Mountains are the most lacking stone!
When the two returned to the village, it was already past six o'clock, and it was already dark. The finch had already returned to its territory, and watched Feng Junhui come back and said hello. Today's goods Huang Shengwei has been sent out. However, he was still waiting at Feng Junhui's house, Xu Mengqiao went back, it was not safe for a girl to walk at night too late.
"I've made you wait for a long time today, and next time it's past five o'clock, if I don't have anyone here, I'll trouble you to keep it. I'll count you as overtime. Feng Junhui was quite satisfied when he saw Huang Shengwei who was still waiting. Although he is not very old, he is very down-to-earth. Now that he has a lot of inventory at home, and his house is on the edge of the village, if someone has a crooked heart and comes to him and points out a few baskets of expensive ones, the loss will be quite large.
"Thank you, boss! By the way, Sister Xu sent noodles in the kitchen when she left. That's fine, I'll go first. Huang Shengwei rode a motorcycle by himself, which was very convenient.
At night, Feng Junhui is lazy, and it is good for Li Kaize to roast some pheasants and hares or something, but it is not good to let him cook in the kitchen seriously. The two of them used Xu Mengqiao's noodles, casually pulled some noodles and cooked them, and then made do with a meal. As for Li Kaize's unreasonable request to insist on letting Feng Junhui add a handful of pea tips in, Feng Junhui rejected it.
Hmph, what about going up the mountain to hunt pheasants and hares to add vegetables?! Not even a bird's egg!
Li Kaize also knew that he was at a loss, and he patronized to watch Feng Junhui pick things and pick up colored stones, mud, and stones, and he forgot about hunting pheasants and hares. So he can only pretend to be stupid now, but he is quite interested in what Feng Junhui is going to do with all the various things he gets back.
