Chapter 129: The Gift of the Forest
"Why do you ask this? Do you still let Ryoko farm in the village for the rest of her life? The paddy fields in Xingfu Village are all kantian, and there is no way to carry out large-scale mechanized production without transformation. The cost of retrofitting is too high. And it's all contracted to each family. If it is contracted by any person, it will be transformed and mechanized production will be carried out, and one person will contract hundreds of acres of land. It's a bit of a head. Like them, the entire village has only a few hundred acres of land. Distributed to individuals, a few points per person. An acre of land can earn a maximum of a few hundred yuan a year. You just work hard, and you can't make much money. Sun Zhenlei's words surprised Chen Andong and He Chuanliang.
Chen Andong and He Chuanliang's impressive look at each other made Sun Zhenlei a little embarrassed: "Actually, I also listened to one of my cousins. He had wanted to land in the village. Otherwise, where would I know that? ”
Chen Andong sneered: "I'll just say, it's impossible for your brain to think about such a complicated issue." ”
"You're different?" Sun Zhendong said angrily.
Chen Andong did not continue to talk back to Sun Zhendong, but said very seriously: "I think so. Farming and growing crops is certainly not profitable. But what if you let Liangzi grow ginseng and plant herbs like Polygonum multiflori? Don't worry, I'm giving you an analogy. I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and I deeply understand that the biggest difficulty of traditional Chinese medicine now is that after the large-scale supply of medicinal materials, many medicinal materials are artificially grown. Pesticides and fertilizers are naturally used in the planting process. Not to mention the problem of pesticide and fertilizer residues. Due to the short cultivation time, the medicinal properties of artificially planted medicinal materials are naturally much worse than those of wild medicinal materials. I have a way to grow herbs in the field that are even more potent than wild herbs. If you choose some medicinal plants with high value for cultivation, is this a good way? ”
"It's good, but the question is, after you plant it, who will believe it? For example, if you grow ginseng, and you say that the medicinal effect of the ginseng you grow is better than that of the wild one, who would believe it? If you grow it and no one buys it, isn't everything still in vain? He Chuanliang shook his head.
"I bought it? What do I do? Did you forget? I am a Chinese medicine practitioner. I don't know how many herbs I need to consume in a year. You set up a medicine field in your village, specializing in growing the medicinal herbs I need. I bought it from you at a high price. Isn't that enough? Chen Andong said with a smile.
"That's right. Why didn't we think of that? Sun Zhendong also laughed.
He Chuanliang shook his head, "No." Dongzi, I know you want to help me. But my brother is settling accounts, you are not married now, help me, and no one will say anything about you, but you will become a family in the future, and if you help me like this, there will be a big problem. I don't want to be a brother when the time comes. ”
Sun Zhenlei also frowned, he couldn't solve such a difficult problem.
"Ryoko, you're thinking too much. You think I'm just doing this to help you? Not really. I know if you believe I have a way to make the field grow better herbs than wild herbs. I can prove this to you later. Later, I happened to collect all the medicinal materials needed for my aunt's illness in the mountains. You find a piece of land, and I transform it into a medicine field. When the time comes, plant the herbs in it. In fact, when the time comes, even if you don't understand Chinese medicine, you will be able to distinguish it well. Chen Anton is full of confidence.
"Let's look for mushrooms first." Sun Zhenlei is now more and more incomprehensible to Chen Andong. People on the same starting line have only been seen for a few years, why is the gap so big!
With the experienced He Chuanliang here, finding mushrooms will naturally not be a particularly difficult thing. People who grew up in the mountains will have some small secrets that they will not share with their partners. There are special mushrooms growing in that place, and pheasants are often seen in this place. Children who grow up in the mountains have their own set of experiences.
He Chuanliang took two partners who didn't need to be kept secret to his secret realms, and naturally gained a lot. The bamboo basket He Chuanliang was carrying had already put two layers of fresh and tender mushrooms, but it was not the kind of mushroom that someone picked up at the foot of the mountain. Among them, there are many rare things in the city that cost hundreds of yuan per catty.
"Do you still have any game?" Sun Zhenlei's big belly had already digested the cucumber he had eaten when he came, and at this time, his stomach began to growl again.
"Don't worry. In the mountains ahead, I put a few sets yesterday, maybe there will be a harvest. He Chuanliang took Chen Andong and Sun Zhenlei to another secret place.
Putting a sleeve in the mountains is a technical job. As the saying goes, rats have a rat path, and snakes have a snake path. If you want to have a harvest, you must put the cover on the way to the wild animal activity. He Chuanliang grew up in the mountains since he was a child, so he is naturally an expert in this.
Chen Andong's attention is mainly focused on the plants in the mountains and forests. The variety of plants in the mountains is very rich. This natural forest is a three-dimensional ecological structure. A wide variety of trees, shrubs, and weeds mingle together to form an intricate ecosystem. It is not difficult to find several medicinal plants in it, but it is not easy to find the medicinal herbs you need.
Along the way, Chen Andong still only found the white peony he saw before. I saw a lot of other medicinal herbs, and even found one or two wild Ganoderma lucidum seedlings. was also dug out of the whole soil by Chen Andong, wrapped in a plastic bag and put it in He Chuanliang's back basket.
"There it is!" When passing by a bamboo forest, He Chuanliang suddenly said excitedly.
He Chuanliang walked quickly into a bamboo bush and brought out an animal that looked like a chicken.
"What is this?" Chen Anton asked curiously.
"Bamboo chicken. You don't even know the bamboo chicken, do you? Sun Zhenlei was very contemptuous of Chen Andong's insight.
"Who is like you? Foodie one. I advise you to keep your mouth shut. Your belly is getting more and more obvious. Chen Andong also immediately fought back forcefully.
The bamboo chicken just looks like a chicken, not much bigger. The bamboo chicken He Chuanliang caught was only six or seven taels. Naturally, it is not enough for three people to eat.
"Ryoko, where else is there, this bit of meat, I can't eat it alone." Sun Zhenlei is actually a little drooling. I'm afraid that this bamboo chicken is a roast chicken that has been roasted to a golden brown in his eyes.
"Don't worry, this is just the beginning." He Chuanliang didn't seem to be worried at all. This mountain forest will always give him a rich gift.
Chen Andong also finally had a harvest, on a slope, Chen Andong found a few salvia, and also found Puhuang. It was a bonus.
Walking to a stream, He Chuanliang took off his shoes, walked to a standing bamboo pole, and took out a bamboo cage from the water. As soon as the bamboo cage came out of the water, I heard a non-stop noise inside.
Through the gap in the bamboo cage, you can see the white figure inside.
"Fish!" Sun Zhenlei couldn't wait to jump into the water.
Chen Andong is very curious about this fresh method of fishing.
