Chapter 152 Tea Tree
When we gathered at the production team in the morning, several village cadres began to emphasize discipline with serious faces.
The morning meeting was longer than usual, especially since what happened yesterday was brought up and discussed at length, so that everyone would remember this lesson and never steal.
It was an hour later when the morning meeting was over.
Because of this meeting, everyone was not in a good state of mind when going to work, and even several villagers in the Mushroom Group were affected.
Zhou Ziwen also understood them very well and did not arrange any extra tasks for them. He just let them work as usual.
After arranging today's work, Zhou Ziwen started to slack off again.
He decided to go to the mountains to try his luck and see if he could get any prey.
There has been no meat at home these days, and he is a little tired of eating fish.
He had been to the mountains several times during this period, but his luck was not very good. Apart from some wild vegetables, he didn't see any wild game.
Of course, he did not gain nothing. At least he was familiar with the environment on the inner edge, and he knew where the good things were.
For example, he knows very well the growing locations of honey, mushrooms, and fungus.
However, Zhou Ziwen prefers to take things slowly, for example, he will not collect honey until the stock at home is used up.
The same goes for things like mushrooms and wood ears. He picked the ripe ones and the rest were not yet fully grown.
Zhou Ziwen planned to wait until they grew up before picking them. Anyway, there were not many people coming back to the mountains and forests, and these were all his wealth.
Of course, it doesn’t matter even if they are picked by others. This forest has plenty of resources.
After returning home, Zhou Ziwen took his axe and backpack and headed straight into the forest.
The outskirts of the forest no longer had any appeal to him. With his strength, as long as he was careful, he would have no problem moving around in the inner area.
Of course, we must not go too deep. There are some places in the inner area that even native villagers are unwilling to enter.
I heard that there was a very powerful hunter in the village before. He not only went deep into the inner circle, but even entered the core area where almost no one had ever set foot.
Arriving at the inner area of the forest, Zhou Ziwen headed straight for the unexplored area. Here, he also began to be cautious.
It is better to be safe than sorry. Don't be careless just because of your strength.
He didn't want to suffer an accident due to his negligence.
Holding the axe in his hand, Zhou Ziwen began to explore carefully.
After going into the mountains so many times, he had some experience with the situation in the mountains. He basically knew where good things were likely to appear and where they were not.
He thought that one day he would go to the bookstore to see if he could find a book specifically about hunters. Perhaps through these books, he could acquire hunting skills.
After all, only professional hunters are the ones who are most familiar with the mountains and forests. If he can acquire skills in this area, he will never lack meat to eat.
As they went along, Zhou Ziwen encountered some delicious wild vegetables and fruits, which he picked up. He also noted the locations of some dead trees and would cut them down when he had time.
His main purpose today was to get wild game, everything else was secondary.
Unconsciously, Zhou Ziwen walked farther and farther away. On the way, he met a pheasant. However, this creature had sharp eyes and spotted him from a distance. It spread its wings and flew away.
Zhou Ziwen could only stare blankly. At this moment, he really wanted to have a bow and arrow. If he had an arrow, he would just shoot it to death without caring whether it could fly or not.
It seems that I need to learn a hunting skill as soon as possible. Using only an axe is still too unprofessional.
Soon, Zhou Ziwen climbed to the top of Niutou Mountain. This mountain range is endless, and Niutou Mountain is just a small corner. Behind this mountain is another mountain, and behind this mountain there are mountains.
The people in Dabazi Village have only ever been to the mountain behind Niutou Mountain.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Zhou Ziwen felt a little unwilling. He hadn't eaten meat for several days and was tired of eating only fish.
He checked the time and it was exactly ten o'clock in the morning. He thought for a moment and decided to walk a little further back.
This time, he was more careful. On the other side of Niutou Mountain, there were few people and the surrounding trees and grass were even denser. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he had come to a primeval forest.
Wolfberry, tea tree...
In just a short while, he discovered a lot of valuable things.
Especially the tea oil tree, he had only heard of it before, but this was the first time he saw it today.
If he hadn't read about it in medical books, Zhou Ziwen wouldn't have recognized it even if it was placed in front of him.
Thanks to the auto-play panel, although he had never seen it in person, he remembered the knowledge in the book firmly in his mind through auto-playing. After seeing the real thing, he recognized it at the first sight.
Forget about the wolfberries, he had found them before and picked some to keep.
But the tea tree is different. Its fruit can be made into tea oil, which has very high nutritional value.
Camellia oil is known as "Oriental olive oil".
It is said that it contains a physiologically active ingredient, squalene, which has a good oxygen-enriching ability, can resist hypoxia and fatigue, and has the function of improving human immunity and enhancing the gastrointestinal tract.
Long-term consumption of camellia oil can effectively reduce the incidence of cancers such as breast cancer, colon cancer, and rectal cancer.
Camellia oil is known as the finest edible vegetable oil.
Zhou Ziwen only knows a relatively old-fashioned method of extracting oil.
The method is to dry the tea seeds, crush them, fry them in a pan until fragrant, steam them in a steamer, put them in a container, and hit them hard, like a monk striking a bell, and the oil will come out.
Seeing such precious things, Zhou Ziwen didn't leave and started picking them directly.
He picked the ripe tea-oil fruits one by one until his basket was full, and there were still many fruits on the tree.
"I can't pick them all, I can't pick them all!" Zhou Ziwen grinned with a bright smile on his face.
He knew that the more uninhabited a place was, the more good things there were.
Look, this is only the first mountain, and he found this good thing called tea oil.
"Let's go back first and bring a few more sacks." Zhou Ziwen picked up the backpack and turned to go home.
Now that he had discovered these good things, he had to pick them all back. These things were hard to come by, and he didn't want to leave them to others.
Besides, the oil at home is almost used up, so it tastes better if I squeeze it myself.
It took Zhou Ziwen more than half an hour to return to his yard.
It was still early and the Chen sisters had not returned home yet. Zhou Ziwen took a short rest and went to the mushroom house.
He wanted to prepare the meal in advance, but he didn't have the key to the Chen sisters' house.
I had no choice but to go to the mushroom house and go to work with them.
"Brother Ziwen, why are you here?" Chen Qiaoyi was happy to see Zhou Ziwen coming.
"Haha, I'm the leader of the Mushroom Group. I will definitely check the progress of the mushrooms at any time. By the way, I'll also come to see if you are slacking off." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
"Haha!" Chen Qiaoyi curled her lips, looking disbelieving.
She knew Zhou Ziwen's personality very well.
