Chapter 184. mountain village
He Dong has been wandering around the mountains for seventeen or eighteen days, and even the National Day holiday has ended, He Dong still has no intention of leaving, and in addition to Guo Jiadong by his side, there are two people to follow, one is Guo Jiadong's uncle who is very familiar with the situation in the mountains, Guo Maocai, and the other is Lin Tianci sent to protect He Dong Xiaoding.
"Third child, beyond the hill in front of us is the farthest village in Xilong County! There is a strange mountain jujube there, almost the size of an egg, not very sweet, the taste is not very good, and it is not resistant to storage, if it were not for the delicate wood of this jujube tree, it is a good material for making furniture, it is estimated that it would have been extinct long ago! After more than ten days of contact, Guo Jiadong and Guo Maocai both knew what He Dong was interested in.
"The size of an egg, it's not sweet, and the taste is not good, it can't be an egg date, right? Uncle, are there many such jujube trees? He Dong's eyes widened in surprise again.
Why do you want to say it again? Because He Dong has been pleasantly surprised in the past seventeen or eighteen days, Xilong County is surrounded by mountains, and almost all the mountains and forests are in an undeveloped state, in these mountains and forests, He Dong found a large number of fruits, flowers and even some scarce medicinal materials that he needs.
"Much, why not more. Although this kind of jujube doesn't even eat birds! But the date palm is a good thing. The wood is delicate, the pattern is beautiful, and it is the top wood for furniture! Therefore, if there are children in the family, they will plant a few trees in front of the house and behind the house, and use them for furniture when the children get married or get married. Guo Maocai continued.
"Yes, it should be egg dates. The wood of egg bezoars is particularly excellent, I didn't expect that the egg bezoars that I thought were extinct would actually appear here! That's great! He Dong said happily.
With this egg date, He Dong can brew a monkey wine that will be sought after by all women. The name of this liquor is fairy drunk. Needless to say, the taste is not to mention. All monkey wines have a particularly good taste under the premise of various special effects. The magical effect of fairy drunk is whitening, moisturizing, weight loss, slimming, and shaping the body, this magical effect even fairies have to be intoxicated, so the name is fairy drunk.
"Third child, you know a lot. If it weren't for Zhilu Dao, your family lived in Tianyang, I really thought you would have lived in the mountains! You're just a mountain pass. Guo Jiadong looked at He Dong with an inexplicable light in his eyes.
In the past ten days, He Dong's ability to show shocked them. Long-lasting physical strength, huge strength, strong bounce power, keen reactions, etc., make He Dong like a fish in water in the mountains and forests.
Moreover, He Dong's knowledge of plants is simply to the point of omniscience, whether it is famous or unknown plants, He Dong can always tell their various special habits and values.
In addition, the most shocking thing for everyone is that He Dong can actually detoxify. That's what they've seen with their own eyes, just a few days ago. When they were investigating in the mountains, they met several traveling friends, one of whom was bitten by a snake, and because the first aid measures were not done well, He Dong was almost in danger when they met him.
However, He Dong only found a few nameless herbs around, smashed them with stones very casually, smeared them on the wound, and then fed the person who was bitten by the snake a black pill, and in less than ten minutes, the injured person, who was already dying, suddenly stood up alive again. This situation is simply a popular phrase on the Internet, a moment to witness a miracle.
"Actually, it's nothing, after you get a girlfriend, you'll know what Lu Dao is, I'm so familiar with plants!" He Dong said with a smile.
"Hey, why do I want to have a girlfriend and I will know it?" Guo Jiadong asked very puzzled.
"Xuanxuan likes plants, in order to do what she likes, I have worked hard and read a lot of books about introducing various plants!" He Dong found a reason for himself.
"No wonder!" Guo Jiadong immediately showed a suddenly realized expression, and at the same time gave He Dong a thumbs up, and said secretly, no wonder the third child can catch up with the colonel, this is called kung fu pays off.
A few people talked and laughed, and soon climbed over a hill, and then saw a mountain village full of natural atmosphere appear in front of them.
This mountain village does not look small, there are almost hundreds of families, and their houses are basically very old civil structures, only a few are brick houses.
And what excites He Dong the most is that as Guo Jiadong said, every household will plant some egg and jujube trees, among them, He Dong is still in the middle of the village, and he saw a jujube tree that is at least hundreds of years old.
"Not bad! Not bad, really good! He Dong walked into this small mountain village full of natural atmosphere, and while watching, the smile on his face never stopped.
Although this is the most remote village in Xilong County, it is not closed, it is very close to another county, there are many people in this village who work in that county, and during the holidays, there will occasionally be some travelers to move in.
"Second brother, there are so many egg and jujube trees here, what are those jujubes used for every year?" Suddenly, He Dong asked strangely.
"It's all broken and fed to the pigs!" Guo Jiadong replied.
"What a tyrannical thing! Is there no one to buy it? Although this kind of jujube is not very tasty, it is also relatively rare! He Dong asked strangely again.
"There have been people who have sold it before, but no one has bought it. And you look at the road here, it's difficult for off-road vehicles to come in, and it's all ox carts to get in and out, and it's very difficult to get in and out once, so no one pays attention to it anymore. However, some people spent a lot of money to buy this jujube tree, and each jujube tree that has grown for 20 years can be sold for at least two or three thousand yuan! Guo Jiadong continued.
"Huh? You're familiar with this place. He Dong couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"Of course, my aunt is married here!" Guo Jiadong smiled and pointed to a courtyard not far in front of him and said, "Look, that's it." Let's have dinner at my aunt's house today! My aunt's stewed chicken with mushrooms is superb. ”
"Hehe, I'm drooling when you say it! Be sure to eat more today. He Dong said politely at all.
While talking, several people came to Guo Jiadong's aunt's house, but to their surprise, Guo Jiadong's aunt's house was particularly lively at this time, a group of people were sawing a thick jujube tree with a chainsaw, and the jujube tree was even full of large jujubes like eggs, and in a corner of the yard, three jujube trees had been sawed down and stacked there.
"Don't saw, don't saw!" Seeing this situation, He Dong's heart ached, these are all raw materials for a lady to get drunk, and this kind of jujube tree will be planted for at least five years before it will bear fruit, and it will be in full production for about fifteen years.
"What? Who are you? He Dong's anxious shout suddenly provoked a dissatisfied voice from a person.
"Who are you? Where's my aunt? Auntie, auntie! Guo Jiadong looked around and found that there was no one he knew, so he shouted loudly.
"Alas! Xiaodong is here! With Guo Jiadong's shout, a woman about fifty years old walked out of a room, and it seemed that this woman was Guo Jiadong's aunt Guo Meilan.
"Auntie, what are you doing here?" Guo Jiadong pointed to the sawn down jujube trees and asked eagerly.
"Eldest sister, what are you sawing this tree for?" Guo Maocai also said with heartache.
After this period of investigation, they also knew He Dong's plan, that is, to buy all kinds of fruits, wild fruits, flowers and plants that he liked at a high price, and even prepared to buy a few mountains to plant some rare wild fruits and flowers. And this egg jujube is obviously also in He Dong's purchase ranks, if these jujube trees are sawn like this, then not only He Dong can buy fewer egg jujubes, but his eldest sister and aunt's family also have a lack of economic resources.
"Oh, it's not your eldest cousin who is going to get married, the family doesn't have much money, sell a few jujube trees for him!" Guo Meilan didn't know that she almost destroyed a gold mountain, and said with a very casual expression.
"Auntie, don't saw these jujube trees, I have something good to tell you!" Guo Jiadong hurriedly pulled Guo Meilan aside, and then whispered something.
"Really? Can this date really sell for money? Soon, Guo Meilan suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Of course, you see, that's the big boss who wants to collect this date, my classmate!" Guo Jiadong pointed at He Dong and said.
"Auntie, I'm really going to buy the dates here at a high price!" He Dong also nodded very cooperatively.
"Oh! Oh! Ah, don't saw, don't saw! Guo Meilan seemed to have woken up, and suddenly shouted loudly at those who were sawing jujube trees.
I don't know what Guo Meilan said to those after the most reluctance, anyway, the expressions of those people at the end of the most reluctance were very ugly, but they all left.
But as soon as these people left, they suddenly saw a tall young man running in in a hurry, looking at the empty yard, and suddenly shouted anxiously, "Mother, why don't you sell trees again?" ”
"Dasheng, you don't need to sell the tree, your brother-in-law and your cousin are here, and this boss, who is your cousin's classmate, wants to buy this jujube at a high price!" Guo Meilan said with a smile.
"Really? Can this date still be sold for money? Uncle, is this true? The young man's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted with joy on his face.
"Of course it's true, your cousin did it!" Guo Maocai nodded.
"Brother Dasheng, can I still lie to you? And, I have a big deal to take care of you! Guo Jiadong also said with a smile on the side.
"Ha Luha, he deserves to be a good brother of my brother!" Dasheng's mood at this time is like a roller coaster, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law in such a poor mountain village, he finally went to the next dowry and marriage, he doesn't want to give up halfway because of money, of course, he is more concerned about the big deal Guo Jiadong said.
