Chapter 522: Man's Comfort Zone

A few days ago, Gao Mingcheng was busy enough, so for the next two days, he didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home, mainly taking Xiao Xuxu and occasionally helping to sell goods.

Two days later, the days of leisurely taking the baby are gone, because it is time to go back to the village to load the goods and go to Zhangshu to participate in the medicine fair.

Because he had already greeted Xiao Jinfeng, in the afternoon, Gao Mingcheng went directly to the transportation company and drove away a Huanghe truck.

Although the truck production technology at this time is average, but with the windshield, the driver is indeed much more comfortable, and after the truck enters Gaojia Village, it stops at the entrance of the village.

Gao Mingcheng jumped out of the car and saw a lot of children circling around his car, and some naughty little boys touched the car with their hands.

As for the timid girls, they only dared to stand aside and watch, with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Don't be naughty!" Gao Mingcheng said with a smile and walked towards Gao Zhuang's home.

Gao Zhuang happened to be at home, and when he saw Gao Mingcheng coming, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Mingcheng, the medicinal materials have been bagged and ready." Is it moving to the car now? ā€

Gao Mingcheng said: "Well, now get in the car and set off directly tomorrow morning." ā€

Gao Zhuang immediately said: "Then I'll call a few people to help, this year the wind and rain are good, the crops in the field are growing well, and the medicinal herbs in the mountains are also growing well." ā€

So Gao Zhuang walked out of the courtyard gate and went to find Gao Liang and others to help.

The strength of the people was strong, and soon a room full of medicinal materials were loaded into the car.

As the fame of Gaojia Village's purchase of medicinal materials spread, nearby villages will send medicinal materials to sell.

This is a mountainous area with little water, rich vegetation in the mountains, and many herbs, but most of them are ordinary medicinal materials, and there are few precious medicinal materials.

After loading all the medicinal materials onto the truck, Gao Mingcheng covered the truck compartment with a tarpaulin, and the rain in the province wet the medicinal materials.

Then he returned to Gao Zhuang's home, looked at the account book purchased by Gao Zhuang, and then the two sides settled the accounts.

This time, Gao Zhuang paid for his labor, but he also made a small profit of a few hundred yuan.

"Brother Mingcheng, come over here for dinner in the evening." Gao Zhuang invited.

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed, and then drove back to Niuweiling.

At this time, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon, and after Gao Mingcheng arrived home, he first loaded the medicinal materials he got into the truck, and then went to inspect his own territory.

Recently, there have been a lot of members in the family, first rhubarb gave birth to two little black dumplings, and later five more goats.

In addition to the dog and the sheep, there is also the sick old scalper at home.

The old scalper still doesn't like to eat much, and his temper is not good, and his eyes are red, and he is not healthy at first glance.

But Gao Mingcheng bought this sick cow in order to give it a go and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle.

Chen Dasong was still working on the chicken coop, and when Gao Mingcheng passed, he saw him shoveling chicken manure in the chicken coop.

Due to the chicken plague nearby, Gao Mingcheng requires that the chicken coop be kept clean, the water for the chickens to drink must also be clean, and after each cleaning of the chicken coop, some camphor leaves and mugwort leaves will be spread.

Every other month, it has to be disinfected with lime water.

In this case, Gao Mingcheng's chickens were able to survive healthily and lay eggs quite positively every day.

Up to now, the money from buying chickens has been earned, and the next thing is pure earning.

But winter is coming soon, and after winter, hens are not so active in laying eggs.

"Mingcheng, you're back! The honey in the mountains, all of which was shaken yesterday, was placed in your empty room. After Chen Dasong saw Gao Mingcheng, he greeted him with a smile.

Gao Mingcheng nodded, shaking honey was something he ordered Chen Duofu to do before he returned to the county.

He said to Chen Dasong: "I'm going to Zhangshu tomorrow, and I plan to take Duofu and Duoxi together, what do you think?" ā€

When Chen Dasong heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and said again and again: "Okay! If you have anything to do, just tell them to do it, and the two brothers can be regarded as having the strength and ability to work! ā€

Last time, Gao Mingcheng sent Fan Licheng back to Jingdezhen, and at that time, Chen Duoxi took the initiative to say that he wanted Gao Mingcheng to take him out to see the world, and finally Gao Mingcheng took the two brothers out together.

On that trip, both brothers saw the world, and when they came back, they were very excited, and often mentioned it to their parents.

Now that Gao Mingcheng is going to take the two brothers out to see each other for a long time, Chen Dasong naturally agrees with 10,000.

Gao Mingcheng had already expected it, but he just mentioned it to Chen Dasong first, so he said: "That's okay, you let them get ready, just bring a change of clothes." It can be cold at night, so bring a thicker jacket. ā€

Chen Dasong nodded again and again, indicating that he would be ready, and then asked Gao Mingcheng if he was having dinner at his house tonight or what was the arrangement.

Knowing that Gao Mingcheng was going to Grandma Xi's house for dinner, he didn't say anything more.

When he had scooped up all the chicken manure and poured it into a nearby manure heap in a dustpan, he went to the pond, washed his hands and face, and went home happy, where he would tell his two sons the good news.

Chen Duofu is a lot calmer, but Chen Duoxi will definitely be happy and can't sleep!

Gao Mingcheng came to the area where oranges were planted, looked at the oranges hanging on the branches, and couldn't help but reach out and pick one to eat, peel off the green orange peel, the flesh inside looked full, and after taking a bite, there was a lot of juice, which was sour.

But if you're not afraid of acid, you can eat it.

Gao Mingcheng finished eating an orange without changing his color, and then refused to pick the second one!

He inspected the mountain and checked the situation of the camellia tree, which was already full of camellia seeds, but he had to wait until the frost fell before he could pick the camellia seeds, and the camellia seeds were only ripe at that time, and the oil content was high.

At this time, he saw Zhang Chengyuan driving a cow and five sheep down another hillside.

Zhang Chengyuan is in charge of the family's livestock grazing, every morning, he will lead the cattle and sheep to a place with abundant water and grass, and wait until the afternoon, and then move another position to ensure that the cattle and sheep have food.

"Baa~" The goat's adaptability is not bad, and while bleating, he follows behind the leader.

The black tiger and the elf also turned into sheepdogs at this time, following the sheep, but whenever a sheep leaves, they will go to chase it back.

Seeing this scene, Gao Mingcheng was a little surprised, the black tiger has activated a new skill point, and he has no teacher!

"Brother, are these goats easy to raise?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Goats are not very daring, and after changing places, they may be frightened.

Zhang Chengyuan is not a person who talks much, so he only said: "It's okay." ā€

Gao Mingcheng couldn't get the answer directly, he could only observe the situation of the sheep, maybe there was company, these five sheep looked pretty good.

Okay, keep it first, and when the first snow comes, you'll be ready to drink mutton soup!

Gao Mingcheng pondered about drinking mutton soup, but Zhang Chengyuan pondered what to give to the sheep in winter.

They are not like the north at this time, when the snow is three inches thick in winter, but it is not as warm as spring like the south, in the middle of the country, that is, the four seasons are distinct, that is, the summer is very hot, and the winter is also very cold!

Zhang Chengyuan said: "Sheep love to eat sweet potato vines and peanut straws, and those sweet potato vines and peanut straws in your field are afraid that they will not be enough to eat all winter." ā€

Gao Mingcheng didn't care, and said: "It's okay, if there is nothing to feed, just slaughter and eat meat!" ā€

Zhang Chengyuan's lips twitched twice, and he was silent.

But after putting the sheep in the sheepfold, Zhang Chengyuan still said: "These sheep have rams and ewes, which look very good, and they can be left with lambs." ā€

When Gao Mingcheng heard this, he suddenly realized.

He stared at the leader, it was a ram, it looked very good, it was a good breeding sheep, it was completely self-rearing.

He thought for a while and said, "Brother, then you can do it!" When the time comes, let's keep a male and a female! ā€

When Zhang Chengyuan heard this, his mood became more comfortable, and he couldn't help but say a few more words: "When you give birth to a lamb cub, you can raise it yourself, or you can sell it for money, it's cost-effective!" ā€

Gao Mingcheng nodded, indicating that he had been taught.

There are large herds of wild boars in the mountains, and there are countless hares, and there is really no need to eat your own five goats.

It's too extravagant!

After deciding the future of the sheep and sheep, Gao Mingcheng went to see the two little black dumplings.

At this time, the two little black dumplings were able to open their eyes, but they had difficulty moving and could only walk around the kennel.

Rhubarb did not run away blindly with the black tigers, but stayed at home to take care of the puppies with maternal love.

Gao Mingcheng stretched out his hand and picked up the puppy, the little puppy was weird and cute, and the fur was very fine, but in fact, the pup's fur was a little rough, not as oily and slippery as the big dog.

Gao Mingcheng couldn't enjoy petting the puppies, and picked up the black tiger and the elf again.

These two wolf dogs, who were majestic in front of the sheep, were lying on the ground at this time, letting Gao Mingcheng stroke and stroke!

Gao Mingcheng had a great time petting the dog, but when he saw Zhang Chengyuan also standing by and watching, he didn't go back immediately.

"Brother, do you want to touch it too?" Gao Mingcheng asked, motioning for Zhang Chengyuan to come and pet the dog together.

Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "Mingcheng, am I going to go to Zhangshu with you this time?" ā€

Gao Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "No, this time I called the two brothers Duofu and Duoxi to go." ā€

When Zhang Chengyuan heard this, instead of being disappointed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Last year, Gao Mingcheng called him to go to Zhangshu, but he was not good at socializing with people, and he didn't help much along the way, and he was very motion sick in the car.

If he is not allowed to go now, he will naturally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Zhang Chengyuan said with a smile on his face.

Gao Mingcheng also smiled, just knowing that Zhang Chengyuan was not suitable for that kind of work, so he didn't take Zhang Chengyuan with him this year.

Everyone has what they are good at and what they are not good at, and if you do what you are good at, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort, and if you do what you are not good at, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Everyone can only live a relaxed life if they find their place and live in their comfort zone.

Of course, this refers to the ease of mind.

Sometimes it is often time to break the comfort zone, and there will be different gains.

After Zhang Chengyuan left, Gao Mingcheng washed his face and hands, took twenty eggs from the bamboo basket full of eggs, and then led the black tiger and the elf towards the old village.

The sky is getting dark, and it is already the lights of thousands of homes.

Walking on the country road, you can faintly see the smoke rising above the chimney in the evening light. Most of the children have already gone home and are waiting for the meal to begin, but there are also a few naughty ones who are still playing outside.

"Gao Ying! Your mom is calling you home for dinner! Gao Mingcheng suddenly slapped the ass of the next little kid, startling them.

These children were playing a game of fighting with a few sticks, but they were frightened by Gao Mingcheng, so they scattered and went back to their respective homes.

"Haha." Gao Mingcheng, who had done something bad, laughed heartily.

A childlike person like him is afraid that it is rare in the village.

Gao Mingcheng was in a very good mood, and came all the way to Grandma Xi's house.

Gao Zhuang made a lot of money by purchasing medicinal herbs, and he had already guessed that Gao Mingcheng might return to the village today, so the food on the dinner table was quite hearty.

There's meat, there's yellow eel, and there's a plate of stir-fried rabbit meat.

Gao Zhuang also took out the rice wine and said with a smile: "Brother Mingcheng, this yellow eel was caught by me a few days ago, and it has been spit out of the sediment, and the rabbit was caught with a sleeve." ā€

"Come, drink, eat meat." Gao Zhuang poured a full glass of wine for Gao Mingcheng, and also poured half a glass of wine for Grandma Xi and He Xiuman.

This rice wine is grain wine, eat less, it is good for the body.

At the dinner table, Grandma Xi also mentioned Gao Mingcheng's sheep raising.

She said: "I planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year, and there is only one pig at home, and I can't eat so much, so I will cut some sweet potato vines and dry them to feed you to the sheep." ā€

Grandma Xi did grow a lot of sweet potatoes this year, and she planned to use them to make sweet potato flour.

Her family raised a pig, this pig is generally not killed, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and then the whole pig is sold to the pig dealer, a year, excluding the money to buy piglets and feed, can also earn about 300 yuan.

But these 300 yuan, in fact, are all exchanged for labor, and they have to go out every day to cut pigweed, and then chop and cook it and feed it to the pigs.

With the hard work of day after day, the little piglets can grow into big pigs.

Gao Mingcheng calculated in his heart and felt that Grandma Xi's family did have a surplus, so he nodded and agreed.

"Okay, it doesn't take too much, at the end of the year, I plan to kill two or three heads to eat, and only one male and one female will be left at that time."

Grandma Xi smiled, Gao Mingcheng was willing to accept what she gave, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart, feeling that she had helped the child and that she was still useful.

She added, "Then I'll leave you some more straw!" Sheep don't like to eat straw, but cows can. ā€

Grandma's family has three acres of land, and there is naturally a surplus of straw.

This Gao Mingcheng didn't refuse, and nodded in response.

This meal, I was quite happy to eat, these yellow eels caught by Gao Zhuang were very large, and they had already spit out the mud and sand, and the meat tasted very good.

And their method of frying yellow eels here is different from other places, most of them will be killed first, and then cut into sections and stir-fried, while they directly pour live yellow eels into the oil pan and fry them.

After pouring the live yellow eel into the pot, you must immediately cover the pot, otherwise the yellow eel will run out, and when the yellow eel in the pot does not move, you can lift the lid of the pot, fry the yellow eel on both sides slightly burnt, and then put chili peppers and seasoning.

The yellow eel that comes out of this way is whole, and after frying, it will curl up, and the blood and internal organs in it are also there, and when eating, they should gently bite the meat of the belly, and then discard the internal organs, as for the blood, it is edible, and they think that the blood of the yellow eel is very nutritious.

The reason why the yellow eel is fried alive is to eat this blood.

This practice may not be acceptable to some people, but Gao Mingcheng is used to eating, and the food is quite refreshing, a large yellow eel belly, more enjoyable than a small bite.

I'm really sorry, sometimes if you look too fast and find something wrong, please wait for a while, refresh it, and then come back in and watch.

Because I'm in a hurry to update, I'll make changes right away.

(怂 _。 )I’m sorry~
