Chapter 184. Mountain Village
He Dong has been wandering around the mountains for seventeen or eight days. Even the National Day holiday has ended. He Dong still has no intention of leaving. Besides Guo Jiadong, there are two people following him. One is very familiar with the situation in the mountains.
Guo Jiadong's brother-in-law, Guo Maocai, and Lin Tianci were sent to protect He Dong Xiaoding.
"Lao San, after passing the hill in front, we are the farthest village in Shillong County! There is a strange kind of jujube there, which is about the size of an egg. It is not very sweet, and the taste is not very good, and it doesn't taste very good.
It is durable in storage. If it were not for the delicate wood of this jujube tree, which is a good material for making furniture, it would probably have disappeared long ago!" After more than ten days of contact, Guo Jiadong and Guo Maocai both knew what He Dong was interested in.
"It's about the size of an egg, not sweet, and doesn't taste good. It can't be an egg jujube, right? Uncle, are there many jujube trees like this?" He Dong's eyes widened in surprise again.
Why say it again? Because Ho Tung has been full of surprises in these seventeen or eight days. Shillong County is surrounded by mountains, and almost all the mountains and forests are in an undeveloped state. In these mountains and forests, Ho Tung discovered
A large number of fruits, flowers and even some scarce medicinal materials that you need.
"It's so much, why not so much? Even the birds won't eat this kind of jujube! But the jujube tree is a good thing. The wood is delicate and the patterns are beautiful. It is the top wood for making furniture! Therefore, those who have children at home will eat it in the room.
Plant a few trees in the front and back of the house and use them as furniture when the children get married or get married." Guo Maocai continued.
"Yes, it should be the egg jujube. The wood of the egg jujube is particularly excellent. I didn't expect that the egg jujube that I thought was extinct would actually appear here! That's great!" He Dong said happily.
With these egg dates, He Dong can brew a monkey wine that will be sought after by all women. The name of this wine is called Fairy Drunk. Needless to say the taste. All monkey wines have various special effects.
Under the premise, the taste is particularly good. The magical effects of Fairy Drunk are whitening, moisturizing, losing weight, slimming, and shaping the body. This magical effect even makes fairies intoxicated, so it is called Fairy Drunk.
"Lao San, you know so much. If I hadn't known that your family lives in Tianyang, I would have thought that you lived in the mountains! You are simply a mountain expert." Guo Jiadong looked at He Dong with a look in his eyes.
Inexplicable light.
In the past ten days, the abilities displayed by He Dong shocked them all. His long-lasting physical strength, huge strength, strong jumping ability, sharp reactions, etc., made He Dong like a fish in water in the mountains and forests.
Moreover, Ho Tung's understanding of plants was almost omniscient. Whether they were famous or unknown plants, Ho Tung could always describe their various special habits and values.
In addition, what shocked everyone the most was that Ho Tung could actually detoxify. This was something they saw with their own eyes, just a few days ago. When they were inspecting the mountains, they met several exploring travelers, and one of them was bitten by a snake.
He was injured, and because first aid measures were not taken well, He Dong and the others were almost in critical condition when they encountered him.
However, He Dong only found a few unknown herbs around him, smashed them casually with rocks, and applied them on the wound. Then he gave the person bitten by the snake a black pill. In less than ten minutes, it was originally
The injured person, who was already in critical condition, suddenly stood up alive and kicking. This situation simply corresponded to an Internet buzzword, witnessing a miraculous moment.
"Actually, it's nothing. When you get a girlfriend, you'll know why I'm so familiar with plants!" He Dong said with a smile.
"Hey, why would I know if I have a girlfriend?" Guo Jiadong asked very puzzled.
"Xuanxuan likes plants. In order to like her, I have worked hard and read many books about various plants!" He Dong found a reason for himself.
"No wonder!" Guo Jiadong immediately showed an expression of sudden realization, and at the same time gave a thumbs up to Ho Tung, secretly thinking, no wonder the third child can catch up with the school beauty, this means that hard work pays off.
A few people chatted and laughed, and soon climbed over a hill, and then saw a mountain village full of natural atmosphere appearing in front of them.
This mountain village doesn't look too small, with almost a hundred households. Their houses are basically of old civil structures, with only a few houses made of bricks and tiles.
What excited Ho Tung the most was that, as Guo Jiadong said, every household here would plant some jujube trees. Among them, Ho Tung also saw a jujube tree in the middle of the village that was 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 looking at it, the smile on his face never broke.
Although people in the mountain village were a little curious about the appearance of He Dong and others, there were no onlookers. Although this is the most remote village in Shillong County, it is not closed. It is very far away from another county.
Recently, many people in this village are working in that county, and during holidays, some travel friends occasionally come to stay.
"Second brother, there are so many egg-jujube trees here, what are the dates used for every year?" Suddenly He Dong asked strangely.
"Break them all and feed them to pigs!" Guo Jiadong replied.
"What a waste of natural resources! Is there no one to buy it? Although this kind of jujube is not very delicious, it is relatively rare!" He Dong asked strangely again.
"Some people have sold it outside before, but no one bought it. And if you look at the roads here, it is difficult for off-road vehicles to get in. The entry and exit are all bullock carts. It is very laborious to get in and out, so no one paid attention to it anymore. But.
Someone paid a huge price to buy this jujube tree. Each jujube tree that has been growing for twenty years can be sold for at least two to three thousand yuan!" Guo Jiadong continued.
"Huh? You are quite familiar with this place." He Dong couldn't help but asked with a smile.
"Of course, my aunt married here!" Guo Jiadong smiled and pointed to a yard not far ahead and said, "Look, that's the house. Today we will have dinner at my aunt's house! My aunt made mountain mushrooms.
The stewed chicken is excellent.”
"Haha, your words make me drool! I must eat more today." He Dong said without any politeness.
While they were 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 using electric saws to saw a thick jujube tree, and there were even
There were lots of jujubes hanging like eggs, and in a corner of the yard, three jujube trees had been sawed down and piled there.
"Stop sawing, stop sawing!" Seeing this, Ho Tung's heart ached. These are the raw materials for lady drunkenness, and this kind of jujube tree will not bear fruit until it has been planted for at least five years, about fifteen years.
Only then will it reach its peak period.
"What are you doing? Who are you?" He Dong's anxious shout immediately aroused someone's dissatisfied voice.
"Who are you? Where is my aunt? Aunt, aunt!" Guo Jiadong looked around and found no one he knew, so he shouted loudly.
"Alas! Xiaodong is here!" As Guo Jiadong shouted, a woman in her fifties came out of a room. It seemed that this woman was Guo Meilan, Guo Jiadong's aunt.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Guo Jiadong asked eagerly, pointing to the sawed-down jujube trees.
"Sister, why are you sawing this tree?" Guo Maocai also said heartbrokenly.
After this period of investigation, they also learned about He Dong's plan, which was to purchase all kinds of fruits, wild fruits, flowers and plants that he liked at high prices. They were even planning to buy several hills to plant some rare wild fruits.
And flowers and plants. And these egg dates are obviously among Ho Tung's purchases. If these jujube trees are cut down like this, then not only will Ho Tung be able to purchase less egg dates, but his eldest sister and aunt's family will also be missing a portion.
financial sources.
"Oh, your eldest cousin is getting engaged. The family doesn't have much money, so sell a few jujube trees to hire him!" Guo Meilan said with a very casual expression, not knowing that she almost destroyed a golden mountain.
"Auntie, please don't cut down these jujube trees. I have something good to tell you!" Guo Jiadong quickly pulled Guo Meilan aside and whispered something.
"Really? Can these dates really be sold for money?" Soon Guo Meilan suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Of course, look, that's the big boss who wants to collect these dates, my classmate!" Guo Jiadong pointed at He Dong and said.
"Auntie, I am indeed prepared to buy the dates here at a high price!" He Dong also nodded very cooperatively.
"Oh! Oh! Ah, stop sawing, stop sawing!" Guo Meilan seemed to have woken up, and suddenly shouted loudly to those who were sawing the jujube trees.
I don’t know what Guo Meilan said to those people in the end. Anyway, those people’s expressions were very ugly at the end, but they all left anyway.
But as soon as these people left, they suddenly saw a tall young man running in in a hurry. Looking at the empty yard, he shouted anxiously, "Mom, why don't you sell trees again?"
"Dasheng, there's no need to sell the tree. Your uncle and your cousin are here, and this boss is your cousin's classmate. They want to buy these jujubes at a high price!" Guo Meilan said with a smile.
"Really? These dates can still be sold for money? Uncle, is this true?" The young man suddenly opened his eyes and shouted with joy.
"Of course it's true. This was done by your cousin!" Guo Maocai nodded.
"Brother Dasheng, can I still lie to you? Besides, I still have a big deal to take care of you!" Guo Jiadong also said with a smile.
"Haha, you are indeed my good brother!" Dasheng's mood at this time was like riding a roller coaster. It was not easy to get a wife in such a poor mountain village. He finally got to the part where he got the betrothal gift and betrothal. How could he
