Chapter 232 Yellow River Heavy Truck
On the 15th day of October, Gao Mingcheng and Xuanyuemei got up early in the morning. After getting up, Xuanyuemei ran to the kitchen to cook rice noodles for Gao Mingcheng without even washing up.
The rice noodles here are chewy and delicious. Compared to noodles, people here prefer rice noodles. In later generations, out of ten shops on a street, five would sell rice noodles!
Gao Mingcheng practiced a set of boxing in the yard to stretch his muscles. After practicing boxing, he put on a thin long-sleeved shirt.
A white shirt with jeans and a pair of sneakers on your feet, this look is refreshing and handsome.
"Ming Cheng, the rice noodles are ready, come and eat!" Many beautiful voices came from the kitchen.
On the table, there were two bowls of rice noodles, one large and one small. The large bowl had two poached eggs in it, and the small bowl had one poached egg in it, along with some shredded meat and vegetables. It looked very rich.
Gao Mingcheng sat down and prepared to eat.
But Xuan Duomei was not in a hurry to eat. After she cleaned the stove, she went to rinse her mouth and wash her face. She was not like Gao Mingcheng who was not afraid of heat and dared to eat it right after it came out of the pot. She had a picky taste and was afraid of both heat and cold.
After she washes up, the rice noodles are at the right temperature and can be eaten.
"Duomei, I'll be away for about three days this time. I'll sell the herbs and come back soon. Our fields are short of water, and most of the rice grains are shriveled. Just don't worry about it. Wait for me to come back and then harvest the rice and bring it home." Gao Mingcheng said.
The weather has been dry this year, and the water people rely on to drink and irrigate the fields every morning and evening depends entirely on groundwater. One of the reservoirs has dried up, and the bottom of the remaining two is barely visible, with turbid water.
But there is still some water in one ditch. Half of the water comes from the mountains and half comes from the ground. The amount of water is not large, but after it is used up every day, it will be restored the next morning.
"Yeah." Xuanyue responded. She felt good knowing that Gao Mingcheng was worried that she was too tired.
Although the rice fields have reduced production, the rice straw still has to be harvested. The empty rice grains can be used to feed chickens, while the rice straw can be used to feed cattle and sheep.
This will come in handy in winter when fodder is scarce.
In addition, it can be placed on the bed board to make sleeping warmer in winter. It can also be used as a chicken coop or rolled into straw ropes. In short, it has many uses.
For rural people, every blade of grass and every tree is a treasure.
As the couple was talking, they heard footsteps outside. Gao Mingcheng walked out of the kitchen and saw Gao Mingli at a glance.
Gao Mingli was also dressed in new clothes and was carrying a cloth bag containing two sets of clothes.
Although it is already mid-October, the weather is still quite hot. When you go out to do things, you will sweat and need to change clothes frequently.
"Second brother, second sister-in-law." Gao Mingli greeted the two of them with an excited expression on his face.
It’s the young man’s first time traveling far away, and he can’t help himself!
"Why are you here? When the car comes, it will pass by the old village. I can just call you then." Gao Mingcheng said.
Gao Mingli smiled and said, "Hey, Dad asked me to come over to help first. You have a lot of medicinal herbs here, and it will take a long time to load them into the car."
"Oh, that's fine. Have you had breakfast?" Gao Mingcheng asked casually, thinking in his heart that even if he hadn't, he could only give him some biscuits and snacks.
Xuanyuemei only cooked two bowls of noodles, but no more.
Fortunately, Gao Mingli said, "I have eaten."
Okay then, no need to entertain.
Just as they were talking, the sound of wheels crushing the gravel on the road was heard outside. As soon as they heard the sound, they knew it was a large truck.
Before Gao Mingcheng and Gao Mingli walked out, they heard Xiao Jinfeng's cheerful voice coming from outside: "Gao Mingcheng, I'm here!"
"Haha, I heard it from so far away! Come down and have a rest first, and I will move the herbs down." Gao Mingcheng greeted him with a smile. At this time, Xiao Jinfeng had already parked the car and jumped out from the driver's seat.
The car he was driving today was a Huanghe brand heavy truck, brand new, and it was obvious that it had been bought not long ago.
Gao Mingcheng knew that Xiao Jinfeng had made some money transporting motorcycles some time ago. Now when he saw this Yellow River brand heavy truck, he knew that Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company had made a lot of money.
Once the transportation company has accumulated the original capital, it will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
Xiao Jinfeng opened the truck's compartment and could see that one third of it was already filled with medicinal materials.
Xiao Jinfeng and Gao Mingcheng would not go to the medicine trade fair empty-handed. Instead, they followed Gao Mingcheng's advice and purchased a batch of medicinal materials from several villages near the outskirts of the city.
However, he left this matter to his parents, unlike Gao Mingcheng who did it himself.
Among Gao Mingcheng's medicinal herbs, at least half were brought back from the mountains by himself, and they were also the most valuable ones.
They said that Xiao Jinfeng should take a rest, but how could Xiao Jinfeng rest? Seeing Gao Mingcheng starting to move the medicinal materials, he also stepped forward to help.
Gao Mingcheng is very strong, Xiao Jinfeng is also strong, and Gao Mingli can help. In addition, the herbs have already been piled at the gate, so they just need to move them to the car.
Thanks to the efforts of the three people, all the medicinal materials have been loaded into the car.
Fortunately, the truck Xiao Jinfeng drove was quite large and could just hold all the goods.
After they finished their work, Xuanyuemei brought them three cups of tea to quench their thirst.
All three of them drank. They would set off soon, so it was necessary to drink water and solve physiological problems appropriately.
Three minutes later, Gao Mingcheng also got into the car with Gao Mingli, carrying a canvas bag.
This type of truck usually has two seats, one for the driver and one for the co-pilot. Logically, it can only seat two people, but road management is not so strict nowadays, so as long as there is enough space, it is not a problem to seat three people.
The carriage was filled with cargo and people could only sit on the cargo, but that would be too unsafe.
Gao Mingcheng has a muscular figure when he takes off his clothes, but looks slim when he puts on clothes, while Gao Mingli is simply skinny.
He was in the period of puberty at that time and was as thin as a bamboo pole, so it was not uncomfortable for the two of them to sit together.
Xiao Jinfeng was driving. He started the car and the engine immediately made a sound.
Gao Mingcheng stuck his head out of the window, waved to Xuanyuemei who was standing at the door and said, "I'm leaving now. Be careful at home."
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back!" Xuanyuemei also waved goodbye to Gao Mingcheng.
As the two looked at each other, the car reversed, then turned around and headed towards the village entrance.
This section of road was specially repaired by Gao Mingcheng, so the car drove very smoothly.
But as soon as the car moved away, deep wheel marks were immediately left on the road, which showed that the car was too heavy and would leave wheel marks on this dirt road.
If cars go back and forth too often, over time, deep marks will be left on the road, and once it rains, water will accumulate like small puddles.
When the brand new Yellow River heavy truck passed through the old village, it attracted many people's curious gazes. The villagers had little experience, and the last time Gao Mingcheng drove back an old pickup truck, they all thought it was very cool.
Now that the brand new Yellow River heavy truck has been unveiled, they have discovered that the old pickup truck was really no good.
"Tsk tsk, Gao Mingcheng actually collected so many medicinal herbs? He must have made a lot of money on this trip!" An aunt spoke up, but her tone was sour.
"Yes, his family has more and more money." Another aunt nearby also agreed.
Everyone was very envious of the changes in Gao Mingcheng's family.
Own a house, land and a backer!
"Ha, if you have the guts, then don't sell the herbs to him. That way he can earn less." Someone who didn't like the two men spoke up and started to mock them: "You are the most enthusiastic when it comes to selling herbs! You are the happiest when it comes to getting paid!"
As soon as this person opened his mouth, Gao Mingcheng's relatives and friends immediately said, "Gao Mingcheng can make money, and that's what he deserves! Last time, Duomei said that the family had used up all the money to buy medicinal materials. The medicinal materials that their family members sent were not paid for yet, and they said they would make up for it after they came back. If it were you, do you have such capital? How dare you do business like this?"
