Chapter 90: Picking Tea Seeds and Finding a Way

After returning from Zhangshu, Gao Mingcheng's pace of life slowed down again.

The next morning, he resumed his habit of getting up early to go to the mountains to fight, and then took out his throwing knife and successfully got two hares.

Recently, the frequency of eating hares at home is quite high, and a lot of rabbit skins have accumulated in the utility room, which can be sold at a time.

You don't need to go to the county seat, there is a workshop in the town that can sell the fur or pay the other party to make the fur for you.

Now that autumn is in the mountains, it is the time when the fur of wild animals in the mountains is shining, Gao Mingcheng is thinking about finding a time to hunt some rabbits and foxes with good fur color.

From ancient times to the present, rich people like to wear fur, and good quality fur can also be sold at a good price.

When checking the situation of the beehives in the mountains, Gao Mingcheng found that many villagers had gone into the mountains to collect tea seeds.

His mother had a conflict with Gao Fuqiang's mother because he was picking up tea seeds, and he broke his foot.

Originally, his mother was going to call a few of their brothers to find trouble with Gao Fuqiang's family, but his father didn't allow it, his father had a good face, and felt that this matter was unreasonable, and he was afraid that if it got bigger, others would talk about him, so he refused to let his sons stand up for Luo Xiaohua.

This made Luo Xiaohua very angry.

But Gao Mingcheng's behavior of sending ginseng and wolfberries to his family made Luo Xiaohua happy.

Early the next morning, Luo Xiaohua, who injured his foot and was inconvenient to move, went to a crowded place, and then loudly showed off that Gao Mingcheng gave her ginseng and wolfberries.

However, in just half a day's effort, the whole village knew that Gao Mingcheng followed the boss out to sell medicine, and then used all the money he earned to buy ginseng and wolfberries for his family.

So some people praised Gao Mingcheng's filial piety, and some people ridiculed Gao Mingcheng for being stupid, and he didn't know how to hold the money in his hands.

Since Gao Mingcheng has been living in Gao Zhuang's house recently, the people in the village privately speculate that Gao Mingcheng and his family have a conflict.

But now seeing Gao Mingcheng take out so much money to buy supplements and give them to his parents, it doesn't look like a contradiction.

As a result, Gao Mingcheng's reputation has become better in the village.

At this time, Gao Mingcheng stood under a tea tree, looking at the tea seeds on the tree, and also pondering picking tea seeds.

This tea tree is Camellia oleifera, and every time the frost falls, you can pick it. The picked tea seeds are exposed to the sun, hulled, and the kernels with high oil content are collected, and then taken to the oil mill to squeeze out the tea oil.

In the mountain forest owned by the brigade, a large tea grove was planted, which was planted on the farm in the sixties.

Now the farm is gone, and the tea groves are collectively owned by the brigade. Every year, I can get some money by selling tea seeds.

Therefore, these tea groves are not allowed to be picked by villagers, but it is inevitable that some villagers will pick them quietly.

After a while, there will be dealers who will go to the market to collect tea seeds, fresh tea seeds are a dime a catty, and if they are exposed to the sun and husked, they can be sold for five cents a catty.

Gao Mingcheng also planned to pick tea seeds, but he didn't plan to sell the tea seeds, but planned to save a little more and then use them to extract oil.

Tea oil is sweet and cool, and pregnant women eat it to be very beneficial to the development of the fetus; Children eat Ke Qi, laxative, fire extinguishing, digestion, which is very helpful to promote the physical development of bone and iliac; The elderly can eat to remove fire, nourish the skin, brighten the eyes, black hair, inhibit aging, and have a good effect on chronic pharyngitis and the prevention of hypertension, arteriosclerosis, and cardiovascular system diseases.

In addition, tea seeds have a good insecticidal effect and can cure ringworm and scabies. Tea withering can also be used as shampoo and conditioner, which can resist ultraviolet rays, prevent sunspots and wrinkles.

You see, tea oil is a good thing, right? Therefore, in later generations, tea oil was a high-grade edible oil.

There are good things, so can you?

Gao Mingcheng didn't have a bag on him, so he quickly ran home and took two bags into the mountain.

He didn't go to the small hill to grab the villagers, but went deep into the mountains.

Xu is because of the large artificially planted tea groves, there are also a lot of wild tea trees in the deep mountains, he relied on his good physical fitness, alone into the mountains to pick, not only do not rob with others, pick a lot more tea seeds.

After three days of busyness, the yard of Grandma Xi's house was full of tea seeds.

After picking everything he could, Gao Mingcheng stopped.

Due to too many tea seeds, the fine grandmother did not dare to open the yard door these days, and did not let people come in to visit the door.

Otherwise, others have only worked hard to get more than ten or twenty catties, and your yard is full of thousands of catties, so can you not be red-eyed?

After the tea seeds are exposed to the sun, they can naturally crack open, revealing the black tea seed kernels inside.

But some of them don't crack completely, and they have to be beaten with sticks or peeled off one by one by hand.

But this is a few days later, Gao Mingcheng will not care about it for the time being.

On this day, it is the market day of the county seat. Gao Mingcheng got up early in the morning, and then carried a large bag of medicinal herbs and headed for the county seat.

These are the precious medicinal materials and Western medicines he bought from the medicine fair, and he plans to sell them in the county town, so he has to take advantage of the market day to find a way.

In addition to selling these medicinal materials, Gao Mingcheng also planned to go to Gao Guobing's house, and this trip was mainly for gifts.

He also prepared two ginseng sticks and a pound of wolfberries for Gao Guobing.

Today is not a holiday day, so Gao Yue is studying at school, and Gao Guobing and his family are also at work.

Gao Mingcheng carried a large bag of medicinal herbs and went directly to the police station.

He was here last time, so everyone in the police station knew that he was Gao Guobing's nephew, and as soon as he entered the door, he greeted him warmly and took the initiative to tell him: "Chief Gao is in the office." ”

Gao Mingcheng thanked him with a smile and went directly to Gao Guobing's office.

"Uncle." Gao Mingcheng pushed the door in and greeted him with a smile.

Gao Guobing was reading the newspaper, and after hearing the voice, his face appeared from behind the newspaper, and when he saw that it was Gao Mingcheng, he also smiled.

"Mingcheng, I have time to come to the county today. Sit down, I'll call someone to pour you a glass of water. Gao Guobing went out and called someone to pour water, and then sat opposite Gao Mingcheng.

After the last tomb robbery and the delivery of daggers, Gao Mingcheng and Gao Guobing were already very familiar, so he said straight to the point: "Uncle, a while ago, I was entrusted to buy medicinal materials in our village, and sold them at the camphor medicine fair, and then bought some precious medicinal materials that are not available here, and entrusted my people to find a way to sell them, and then share my profits." ”

"But I don't have a way out, so after thinking about it, I have to ask my uncle for help."

Gao Mingcheng opened the bag he brought and showed Gao Guobing the medicinal materials inside.

Gao Guobing looked at it with a serious expression, and found that it was indeed a precious medicinal material that they did not have here, such as ginseng, wolfberry, cordyceps, deer antler, etc., as well as some Western medicines.

He was not fooled by Gao Mingcheng's words, but asked, "Isn't there a way for the person who entrusted you?" How do you get to find your way? Who is that man? Is it reliable? ”

His voice was serious and caring, for fear that Gao Mingcheng would be deceived.
