Gao Zhuang's wedding banquet was well organized, and the person in charge was Gao Mingcheng's father, Gao Yuanyuan.
When people in their village, and when people in several nearby villages want to do things, they will basically ask Gao Yuan to cook, because his cooking skills are really good, and he can also pack the wine, which saves you the trouble of having to run a long way to buy it again. trip.
The cook was very skilled and the dishes were rich. Not long ago, Gao Mingcheng got a wild boar in the mountains and ate half of it fresh. The rest was pickled with salt and then hung in the shade to dry. Now he has taken ten kilograms as a gift. It was given to Gao Zhuang, but Grandma Xixi refused to give it for free. In the end, you gave it to me and we agreed to buy it for one yuan a pound.
As for the several big fish and a bag of bullfrogs that Gao Mingcheng caught, he refused to accept any more money.
After eating Gao Zhuang's wedding banquet, it means that Gao Zhuang and He Xiuman are officially married!
On this day, the groom was naturally happy, but the young lady was the happiest person.
Her daughter-in-law died young, and then her son passed away in an accident. She was the only one who raised her only grandson, and now, her only grandson is finally getting married and starting a family!
He Xiuman is older and stronger, but Grandma Xin doesn't care at all. It would be better if the woman is older, and she will be more caring!
Moreover, maybe she will give birth to her great-grandson soon!
Thinking of this, Grandma Xi's face burst into laughter.
Not long after Gao Zhuang's wedding banquet passed, Gao Mingcheng came to the banquet again.
His eldest brother's son was one month old, and Gao Yuanyuan specially organized a full-moon banquet for his eldest grandson. However, instead of inviting the whole village to the full-moon banquet, he invited his own relatives, and only six banquets were held.
As a new uncle, Gao Mingcheng naturally had to give red envelopes. In addition to the red envelopes, he also gave a pound of honey and two pounds of wind-blown meat to make his nephew's life meaty and sweet.
This was an auspicious remark, but it won Luo Xiaohua's heart, and she felt that the second child was really sensible!
Gao Mingcheng gave red envelopes, but his two younger brothers and sisters did not need to give red envelopes because they were not married yet and were still members of the same family.
At the banquet, Gao Mingcheng and several brothers sat at the same table. When chatting, they learned that the eldest brother Gao Mingpeng was now learning to build houses and could already earn wages as a laborer.
He was introduced to the industry by a cousin from his wife's side. To facilitate his work, he also bought a bicycle and went out early and came back late every day.
"Third brother, I'm familiar with the people on the construction site. When we need to recruit people again, I will take you to do things too." Gao Mingpeng was in a good mood. After drinking some wine, his cheeks flushed and he patted the old man next to him. Sangao Mingwan said with a smile.
Gao Mingwan was also thinking of ways to make money recently, so he immediately agreed.
At this time, an elder at the same table said: "Ming Cheng, you are the first among the brothers to build a new house. If you have any way to make money, you must not forget your brothers!"
Gao Mingcheng glanced at the elder and saw that they were not very familiar with each other, so he pretended to be stupid and smiled innocently: "How can I get money? Don't I farm at home and herd cattle and sheep every day? I only go to the mountains occasionally. Got some prey.”
But the elder did not let Gao Mingcheng go, but continued: "Didn't you say before that your wife Duomei was going to open a clothing workshop in partnership with Dong Feixia? Why is there no movement!"
Gao Mingcheng pretended to be honest and said: "I don't understand either. I just plant the vegetables in the field."
Others at the table asked about this matter, but Gao Mingcheng couldn't tell or didn't know.
He feels that these people think too simply. If they want to open a clothing workshop, where can they do it casually? We need to train employees first, build factory buildings, buy fabrics, study clothing styles, and sell them in the county!
Every aspect of this takes time to polish.
However, there is still progress. For example, Gao Shouwang has applied through the brigade and approved a piece of land to build a factory.
Nowadays, the state vigorously supports township enterprises and has many preferential policies. In addition, if the economy of a place develops, then people with a little power will have an easier life.
So when Gao Shouwang went to apply for factory land, no one deliberately blocked him, and everything went smoothly.
The factory cannot be built in a place where villagers live together. In addition, the brigade hopes to display this achievement in a conspicuous place, so a piece of land was approved in Xing'anling.
Xing'anling is located between Gaojiacun and Junling. There is a primary school there and the brigade's office. The factory is adjacent to the brigade's office, under a small hill.
After Gao Mingcheng found out, he didn't say much. Although it was not as convenient as in the village, it was only seven or eight minutes away by bicycle, which was not too far.
Before the garment workshop was fully established, Gao Mingcheng didn't want to talk to anyone, so when others asked, he pretended to be stupid. When others asked again, he started to persuade others to drink.
Boxing is popular for drinking here. Anyone who loses in boxing has to drink. Therefore, when the boxing starts, the whole banquet is noisy. People in half the village can hear the sound of boxing. After the banquet is over, everyone can By three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
Gao Mingcheng punched twice and then escaped.
He went all the way back to his home and lay in bed sobering up.
It's been relatively easy recently, but soon he will be busy. It's already May, and it's time to plant Poria!
The next day, Gao Mingcheng went into the mountain carrying a hoe and an ax. He had made some preparations before and now he had to do the rest.
To plant Poria cocos, the land needs to be prepared in advance, and a hillside with good drainage should be selected as the planting site. Then it should be plowed deeply to remove gravel and weeds, and the soil should be broken and leveled. Finally, some insecticides should be sprinkled. agent to prevent termites from affecting the growth of Poria cocos.
Gao Mingcheng has already prepared this step in advance.
As for the pine wood that feeds Poria cocos, this was prepared early, and the side branches were removed and peeled before being left in the mountains to be exposed to the sun. But today he still needs to cut the pine wood that has been cracked by the sun into small sections of about 80 centimeters. Then pile them in the field in a tic-tac-toe shape.
After entering the mountain, Gao Mingcheng came to the place where pine trees were piled before. After a long period of exposure to the sun, the pine trees were covered with small cracks.
He took out the soft ruler used for making clothes from his trouser pocket, which he got from his wife. He used the soft ruler to measure eighty centimeters on the pine wood, and then he began to swing the ax to cut the pine wood.
The first section of pine wood still needs to be measured, and then through visual inspection, you can get the pine wood of almost the same length.
Because there were a lot of pine trees, it took him a long time to chop all the pine trees despite his strength.
Since you want to plant, you can't just plant a little bit, as that would be boring. Gao Mingcheng plans to plant a large area, and only then can you feel the joy of harvesting!
It is said to be a large area, but in fact the planting areas are scattered. After all, you have to find a suitable slope before planting.
He searched for seven or eight suitable slopes deep in the mountains and planted a small patch on each slope.
After stacking the chopped pine wood in a tic-tac-shape pattern in the field, Gao Mingcheng will proceed to the next step, which is also the most important step, and that is inoculation and planting!
You can use bacterial strains or fresh Poria cocos to grow Poria cocos. Gao Mingcheng does not have bacterial strains, but he has fresh Poria cocos. After dividing the fresh Poria cocos into sections, place them on both sides of the pine wood or in the middle of the two sections of pine wood, which is conducive to the growth of mycelium. .
After inoculation, use a hoe to lightly cover it with a thin layer of soil.
After doing this, you still need to dig drainage ditches around to avoid accumulation of water. Ten months after the inoculation, the Poria cocos will be mature and ready to be picked!
When digging the drainage ditch, Gao Mingcheng thought that the weather would be dry in the second half of this year, and he did not know whether this would have any impact on the growth of Poria cocos.
But people can't stop doing anything because of some concerns. Even if the heavenly stems will affect the growth of Poria cocos, he still has to plant it and try it first!
Although this is the first time in his life to plant Poria cocos, growing Poria cocos is actually not much different from growing vegetables. It involves choosing a suitable place, plowing it deeply, removing gravel and weeds, and then preparing nutrients and strains. .
To sum up, there is really not much difference, which means that it takes a lot of time and effort to prepare pine wood.
