Red mushroom is a precious wild mushroom that is delicious, nutritious and has high medicinal value.
He grew up in the countryside in his previous life and was familiar with various wild mushrooms.
Although red mushrooms are delicious, they are also poisonous and must be specially processed before they can be eaten.
However, the medicinal value of this red mushroom is what really interests him.
Red mushroom has the effects of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, dispelling wind and cold, relaxing muscles and tendons, and is very effective in treating bruises, rheumatism and other diseases.
Chen Changyuan suffered from rheumatism in his previous life. Every rainy day, his joints would ache unbearably. If he could make wine with these red mushrooms, perhaps it would alleviate his pain.
Thinking of this, Chen Changyuan became excited and quickly picked the red mushrooms and put them in his clothes pocket.
He continued walking forward and found many more red mushrooms along the way, having a good harvest.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Chen Changyuan was already exhausted and out of breath.
Chen Changyuan dragged his tired body to the village entrance and saw from afar a crowd of people in front of the brigade headquarters, like an ant nest in a frenzy, and the buzzing sound of discussions came into his ears.
He didn't want to join in the fun, he just wanted to go home quickly, take a hot bath and have a good sleep.
"Long-term! Long-term! This way!" A loud voice broke his plan.
Chen Changyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Li Yuanchao and Mingzi from the village. They were standing on the outskirts of the crowd, waving at him vigorously.
He sighed helplessly and had to go over there.
"Brother Changyuan, where have you been? You haven't been seen for a long time."
Li Yuanchao put his arm around Chen Changyuan's shoulders, with a hint of blame in his tone.
"I went up the mountain for a walk." Chen Changyuan was vague and didn't want to tell anyone about his discovery of the map and the red mushroom.
"Hey, let me tell you, something big is happening today!" Mingzi winked and said mysteriously.
The three of them walked to the back of the crowd, and Chen Changyuan asked, "What happened? It's so lively."
Li Yuanchao lowered his voice and said mysteriously:
"I heard a large group of gazelles came from the north and were driven into Qingshanling! The higher-ups have issued an order to organize people to reclaim wasteland and hunt gazelles!"
Chen Changyuan's heart skipped a beat. Reclaiming wasteland?
He clearly remembered in his previous life that land reclamation had to wait until after 1985, so why did it start now?
Moreover, he remembered more clearly that when the land was being reclaimed, the Zhou family interfered and occupied a lot of land. Later, after the land was completely opened up, Zhou Dazhu made a fortune by growing medicinal herbs on these lands.
Seeing Chen Changyuan in a daze, Li Yuanchao rubbed his hands excitedly and said:
"It's going to be lively now! The brigade is responding to the call and organizing a nationwide hunting event! I heard everyone will be given a hunting rifle!"
Mingzi also echoed:
"That's right! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If the time comes, the three of us can team up and hunt a lot of prey!"
Chen Changyuan came back to his senses, but was thinking about something else in his mind.
If land reclamation is really advanced, then wouldn’t the Zhou family’s occupation of land also be advanced?
He must find a way to stop this and not let the Zhou family take advantage again!
"Hey, what are you thinking about? So engrossed?" Li Yuanchao nudged Chen Changyuan with his elbow.
"Nothing...nothing." Chen Changyuan covered it up, "I just felt that this happened too suddenly."
"you do not say!"
Mingzi sighed, "But this is a good thing! Our village has been poor for so many years, maybe this time we can turn things around!"
Li Yuanchao also said:
"That's right! When we kill the yellow sheep, we can improve our food supply! I'm drooling just thinking about it!"
Chen Changyuan smiled perfunctorily, but his mind was racing.
He must find out the specific situation of this land reclamation as soon as possible so that he can formulate a response strategy.
At this time, the voice of the brigade secretary came from the center of the crowd: "
Comrades! Silence! Silence! Regarding this land reclamation and hunting, the higher-ups have already issued instructions..."
Chen Changyuan pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the brigade secretary's speech, trying to capture some useful information from it.
The brigade secretary continued:
"This land reclamation is to respond to the country's call to increase grain production and improve people's lives..."
Hearing this, Chen Changyuan couldn't help but sneer.
In his previous life, he witnessed with his own eyes how the so-called "improvement of people's lives" became an excuse for some people to enrich themselves.
The brigade secretary continued:
"This hunt is to eliminate harmful animals and protect crops..."
Chen Changyuan sneered in his heart again.
There are few wild animals in Qingshanling, and the so-called "pests" are non-existent. This is just an excuse for some people to take advantage of the opportunity to hunt for fun.
The brigade secretary finally said: "I hope everyone will actively participate and sign up..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers.
"Great! I can finally go hunting!"
"Now we can eat meat!"
"I want to kill a big yellow sheep!"
…
Chen Changyuan looked at the excited crowd around him, but felt sad in his heart.
These people were blinded by the petty profits in front of them and had no idea that they were being used by certain people.
At this time, Li Yuanchao and Mingzi were also excitedly discussing hunting.
"Brother Changyuan, let's form a team!" Li Yuanchao suggested.
Seeing the two people eager to try, Chen Changyuan smiled and thought to himself: No wonder the village chief wanted to organize a hunting team a few days ago, it turned out to be to cooperate with this land reclamation.
He glanced at Li Yuanchao and Mingzi. Both of their faces were full of excitement, and they couldn't wait to carry their hunting rifles and go up the mountain.
"Okay, let's form a team so we can look after each other."
Chen Changyuan nodded in agreement. "But aren't the three of us a little too few? It would be safer to have a few more people, and we could catch more prey."
When Li Yuanchao heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised:
"Leave it to me! Those young men who went up the mountain with us last time are all clamoring to follow you up the mountain! I'll go back and ask each of them, I'm sure I can get a group together!"
At this time, the brigade secretary's passionate speech finally ended, and sparse applause broke out in the crowd.
The reporter cleared his throat and shouted at the top of his voice, "Now, let's invite the representative of the advanced team members, Comrade Zhou Dazhu, to come to the stage and speak!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the originally noisy crowd suddenly became quiet, and you could hear a pin drop.
Li Yuanchao's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he asked in disbelief:
"Zhou, Zhou Dazhu? How can he be considered an advanced team member?"
While the three of them were stunned, Zhou Dazhu was already licking his belly and walking towards the stage.
"Ahem, fellow villagers, fellow countrymen!"
Zhou Dazhu spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone so exaggerated that it sounded like he was singing an opera.
"I, Zhou Dazhu, stand here today and promise you all that as long as you follow me, you will all benefit from it and enjoy the good life!"
