Chapter 340: Waiting for an Opportunity
Zhou Yong received Jiang Lifeng today, and when he saw Xu Shibin the next day, he was slightly stunned and welcomed people into the house.
Xu Shibin saw that he was there, and asked curiously, "What do you think?" ”
Hearing Zhou Yong say that they had gone up the mountain, Xu Shibin became interested, "It's good on the mountain, right?" If you have the opportunity, you should climb the mountain with He Siwei to have a look. ”
Zhou Yong said with a smile, "Comrade Xu wants to climb the mountain, there will always be a chance in the future, there are many primeval forests here in the Great Northern Wilderness, and the vegetation on the mountain is dense, especially in autumn, there are many unknown wild fruits." ”
Xu Shibin looked yearning and said, "I must go to the mountains to see if I have the opportunity in the future." ”
Then he said that he came back from the battalion headquarters, thinking that it was not far from here, so he came over to take a look, "Since He Siwei is not here, I will also go back, these things are handed over to He Siwei by Comrade Zhou, so I said that I sent them from home, and I gave some of them to her, so that she is not polite." ”
Zhou Yong is a literati, and he responded with a smile, without asking much or saying much.
After sending Xu Shibin away, he directly put the things back to He Siwei's house, and as for what was in the package, he didn't open it to check.
On the other side of the mountain, He Siwei and Lao Shen didn't know that anyone had come, the two climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath, and after propping up the mosquito net in the place where He Siwei rested before, they were not in a hurry to find herbs, but rested for a day, and picked herbs a few steps away from the top of the mountain, like Baibu and Bai Qian, which were many of them, and after they were picked off that day, they were dried first, so that it was convenient to pack them up and take them back.
The next day after resting, the two of them carried a bamboo basket on their backs, went to the mountains, the forest is dense, and the places that like yin have gentian, pulsatilla, schisandra, astragalus, gastrodia, in addition to these, He Siwei also found a large piece of daylily roots, that is, the daylily in people's mouths, the flowers of daylily can be eaten, and the roots can also be used in medicine.
Now pick flowers and dry, can be used to eat in winter, the roots can also be used to make medicine, and then Lao Shen digs gentian grass, while digging and processing, He Siwei will make daylily, will pick a basket of daylily back to the top of the mountain, paved on the stone, so that it does not take up space after drying.
If these wild medicines are harvested, if they can be sold, the price will be higher than that of the grown, but the situation is not right now, and we have to wait.
He Siwei hopes that everyone will be bold and let go, and slowly be able to speculate, speculate, and dump, then her saving money will work.
When the college entrance examination resumes, she will also be able to save a sum of money.
On this day, He Siwei was only responsible for picking yellow flowers, and at the same time digging out the roots of the daylily, the woods were darker than outside, and there was shade in the way, so the two returned to the stone early, and the location of the stone was still bright.
He Siwei looked at the yellow flowers picked back first and half dried, and they could be dried tomorrow in the morning, but there were many herbs found, and two baskets could not fit it, He Siwei took advantage of the fact that the sky was not dark, found some soft branches, and asked Lao Shen to simply weave a basket next to the fire at night, and put the dried yellow flowers into it.
On the third day, He Siwei and Lao Shen dug herbs together, the two dug fast, dug back and dealt with it at night, and on the fourth day, they put it on the stone to dry, and the two went to the mountains to find wild ginseng.
Wild ginseng is not easy to find, the two of them have no harvest for a day, but they found a small piece of hazelnut tree, the branches are full of hazelnuts, He Siwei's eyes are bright, this high sky tree is not much, the sun is full, the hazelnuts grow very well, generally the hazelnuts are ripe from August to October, and this piece is because of the sunshine, He Siwei picked a grain, peeled it off and saw that the husk inside was already brown, which was ripe and could be picked.
She discussed with Lao Shen, now that the two of them go back, it would be a waste of time to come back tomorrow, so it would be better to stay here tonight, pick all the hazelnuts here, and then carry them back.
Hazelnuts are food for them, which can be used to ward off hunger.
Shen Hongwen originally decided everything by the little girl, he had no opinion, but they only carried a bamboo basket over, so many hazelnuts could not be loaded, so he found a branch in the same place to weave a bamboo basket, easy to load hazelnuts, seeing that the hazelnuts were picked more, Shen Hongwen used the axe he brought to dig a pit on the ground, and buried the hazelnuts with skin into the pit, now the weather is hot, bury them in the soil for two days, the green vegetation outside the hazelnut shell will rot, and the brown fruit food inside will naturally fall out.
This piece of hazelnut will take at least five or six days to pick up, but fortunately, when the two of them come out, they bring the noodles and lunch boxes, but it is inconvenient to drink water, there is a mountain spring that flows down from the top of the mountain, and it takes more than 20 minutes to walk from the top of the mountain.
The two stayed on the mountain for half a month, and on the battalion headquarters, Camp Commander Deng saw Jiang Lifeng coming in and asked, "Haven't come back yet?" ”
Jiang Lifeng smiled bitterly, "I didn't come back." ”
Deng Shiqing put down the pen in his hand, now it is the autumn harvest, the new battalion moved here, and encountered insect infestation, all things are piled together, originally the phone call from above, let He Siwei pass, just treat it as a trivial matter, just send it over, now half a month has passed, the above has been urged four times, people still have not been found, Deng Shiqing's face is also a little unsightly.
Jiang Lifeng also tossed four times, now in mid to late August, half a month has passed, He Siwei still has not returned to the farm, Jiang Lifeng began to be a little anxious, and now seeing that the battalion commander is anxious, he can calm down.
Deng Shiqing was about to speak again, when the phone on the table rang, he picked it up, and said with a serious expression, "Rest assured, the leader will definitely send it over the day after tomorrow." ”
Jiang Lifeng was slightly stunned, the day after tomorrow? If you are on the mountain, it will take a day to send you to the upper management bureau, and today, there are only three days, how to find people?
Deng Shiqing had already hung up the phone and ordered Jiang Lifeng, "You take people to the breeding farm now, and if they don't come back, they will go directly to the mountains to find them, I don't care what method you use, the day after tomorrow, you must send He Siwei to the management bureau." ”
Jiang Lifeng knew that at this time, he would not let the battalion commander change his mind if he said that it was difficult, so he could only respond, as for not being able to complete the task in the end, the responsibility would not be on him.
As soon as he thought so, he heard Deng Shiqing say again, "Jiang Lifeng, there are already a few people who have been in a coma with a fever, and a few people have passed away, this matter is very serious, this time you are going with an order, if you can't find He Siwei, you are waiting to accept the punishment." ”
Jiang Lifeng couldn't believe his ears, he wanted to fight for his own interests, "Battalion commander...."
After only saying a word, Deng Shiqing raised his hand to interrupt him, he looked down at the watch on his wrist, raised his head to look at Jiang Lifeng, and said, "Time is tight and the task is heavy, you must complete the task, this is also my guarantee to my superiors." ”
Jiang Lifeng heard the meaning of the words, he couldn't complete the task, and he was punished.
With a flash in his mind, Jiang Lifeng said, "Battalion commander, I know I shouldn't say it at this time, but I still want to say a few words, He Siwei is just an ordinary educated youth, but her ability is there, after finding people back this time, it is better to arrange them to other companies, and it is convenient to find her if there is anything." ”
