The early bird catches the worm, and the early rabbit gets eaten.
When it was bright, Gao Mingcheng had already come down the mountain carrying five rabbits.
He hadn't even had his own breakfast yet, but he had already prepared the food for the three dogs in the house. After skinning the dog, he threw the internal organs to the dogs and then chopped them up so that the dogs could chew them and swallow them.
While they were busy, Chen Duofu came over with a big bowl of porridge. He handed the porridge to Gao Mingcheng and said, "Mingcheng, my mother asked if you want to eat some noodles. She was afraid that one bowl of porridge would not be enough for you and you would be hungry on the way."
Noodles tend to clump together if left for too long, so Aunt Liu plans to wait before cooking.
Gao Mingcheng was not polite. He took the bowl of porridge and said, "Yes, beat two poached eggs and put some rabbit organs and vegetables in it."
"Duofu, take a rabbit and then take two eggs from the egg tray." After Gao Mingcheng said this, he started to eat the porridge in big mouthfuls.
After he got up, he practiced boxing and went into the mountains to hunt rabbits. He was so busy until now that he was really hungry.
Chen Duofu knew Gao Mingcheng's temper, so he immediately took two eggs and a rabbit and went home, asking Gao Mingcheng to come over later to eat noodles.
Gao Mingcheng finished a bowl of porridge in no time, put the bowl and chopsticks directly on the ground, and continued to deal with the rabbit.
After skinning and chopping, these become food for the three dogs in the family.
After finishing all these, he estimated that it was about time, so he took the empty bowl and chopsticks and went to Chen Duofu's house.
There was a bowl of noodles on the table, steaming.
"Mingcheng is here. The noodles are just out of the pot. Let's eat quickly." Aunt Liu said with a smile.
A few days ago, the Chen brothers went out with Gao Mingcheng and received extra money. Today, they prepared breakfast for Gao Mingcheng and got a rabbit in return. How could Aunt Liu not be happy?
A full bowl of noodles, with two poached eggs, rabbit heart and liver, and some seasonal vegetables, looks particularly delicious.
Gao Mingcheng picked up the chopsticks and started eating. After finishing the bowl of noodles, his stomach was finally full.
"I'm going out soon, so you'll have to take care of the housework." Gao Mingcheng said to Chen Dasong.
Chen Dasong nodded repeatedly, indicating that he would definitely do everything he should do.
When Gao Mingcheng got on the bus, it was only eight o'clock.
The engine started and the wheels moved forward, startling the sparrows perched on the branches by the roadside. The sparrows flapped their wings and flew away one after another, and when the suspicious noise disappeared, they flew back to the branches.
However, the sparrows are the most restless at this time. When the rice in the threshing yard is spread out to dry, they will go to steal food.
Black Tiger and the Elf also followed the truck for a while. When they reached the Greater Khingan Range, they stopped and then returned to Niuwei Ridge.
The two dogs were quite intelligent. They knew they couldn't catch up and they also knew they had other tasks to do. Besides, there was a pot of fresh rabbit meat waiting for them at home.
Gao Mingcheng traveled alone, and except for feeling a little lonely occasionally, it was actually quite good. And because he was almost robbed at gunpoint before, he brought two guns with him this time and even brought some extra bullets.
This truckload of goods could be worth more than 30,000 yuan, which was a huge sum of money in an era when people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan were relatively rare.
When a truckload of goods arrives safely in Yangcheng, he can make at least 10,000 yuan in price difference. In addition, honey has no capital cost, so he can earn another 3,000 to 4,000 yuan from this.
With such huge profits, one naturally has to be cautious.
Along the way, Gao Mingcheng did not look for a hotel to rest. After eating, he returned to the car and prepared to spend the night in the car.
There was also a driver who spent the night in the car with him. The driver was from Sichuan and spoke with a Trump accent. Unlike Gao Mingcheng, he was not traveling alone, but with three people. They took turns to keep watch along the way, and the other two could sleep in the hotel.
Most of the three people who go out together are from the factory, with two drivers and a leader.
The drivers are responsible for taking turns driving, and the leader is responsible for negotiating when trouble arises, as well as handing over the goods after arriving at the destination.
Some of the highway robbers are extremely vicious, while others only want a small profit. If you encounter the latter, the leader should step in, first offer a cigarette, then try to build a closer relationship with them, and finally bargain and give some benefits, and the other party will give way.
Of course, if they encountered the former, none of the three would end up well. They would be beaten, their goods would be stolen, and they would be criticized when they returned to the factory!
Perhaps because they were both drivers, and Gao Mingcheng could understand Sichuan dialect and speak a few simple words, the two of them had a pretty pleasant chat.
Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but feel emotional when he learned that they were also going to Guangzhou and had been driving on the road for five days.
It’s hard to go out these days!
Talking to someone can relieve mental fatigue. By around nine o'clock, everyone had said almost everything they wanted to say, so they returned to their cars and prepared to rest.
Gao Mingcheng drove around in a circle, observed the situation nearby, then found a secluded place to solve his physiological problems, and finally got in the car to rest.
The weather in late October was getting colder, but Gao Mingcheng could bear it. He could sleep soundly under the cover of a military coat.
Military coats are filled with pure cotton. Although they are heavy, they are warm, can be worn and used for covering, and are much more convenient and practical than the emerging popular down jackets.
For Gao Mingcheng, who is not short of money, he has never worn a down jacket, not because he cannot afford it, but because military coats are more cost-effective!
The night was relatively peaceful, and nothing unexpected happened.
After waking up in the morning, Gao Mingcheng still had the energy to do a set of boxing.
"Good! Great boxing!" When Gao Mingcheng was finishing his training, a loud voice was heard, and then a man who looked like a leader came forward and handed Gao Mingcheng a cigarette.
"Little brother, you are so skilled. No wonder you dare to travel alone." The leader-like man spoke in a Trump accent. Gao Mingcheng immediately looked at the large truck next to him.
The driver who had been chatting with him last night had already woken up. Noticing the look in Gao Mingcheng's eyes, he immediately called out, "Director Wang."
Gao Mingcheng understood clearly that it seemed that they were in the same group.
Faced with the cigarette handed to him, Gao Mingcheng waved his hand to refuse. He had quit smoking in this life. Even in his previous life, he generally would not smoke if someone he didn't know handed him a cigarette.
Because who knows if there is any contraband in the cigarettes?
Therefore, when traveling in the world, one must be careful and cautious.
"I don't smoke, thank you."
Director Wang was stunned. He didn't expect that there were people who didn't smoke.
But he didn't give up. He simply took out a whole pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed it to Gao Mingcheng, and said, "This is the cigarette produced by our factory. It tastes very good. If you don't smoke, you can bring it to your family to smoke!"
Gao Mingcheng took the cigarette and saw the words "Jiuzhaigou" written on it, with a picture of Jiuzhaigou scenery in the middle.
In today's underdeveloped transportation world, except for a few cigarettes that are popular throughout the country, most people smoke cigarettes from their own province. The names of these cigarettes are also very distinctive, some are named after place names, some after local scenery, and some are named based on politics, culture and history.
For example, this package of Jiuzhaigou is named after the scenic spot in Sichuan.
When Gao Mingcheng saw the cigarette box packaging design that was full of the flavor of the times, he couldn't help but accept the pack of cigarettes, but he was prepared to pay for it.
Seeing him take out the money, Director Wang waved his hand and said, "This is a gift from me to you, little brother. Let's just consider it as making friends!"
The driver who had talked with Gao Mingcheng last night immediately said, "Director Wang, this young man is called Gao Mingcheng. He is also going to Yangcheng. We can go on the road with him."
Director Wang's eyes lit up. He became friends with Gao Mingcheng just for this!
Since it's on the way, that's even better.
He thought Gao Mingcheng's boxing skills were real skills. If they encountered any problems on the road, Gao Mingcheng's presence could scare them away.
"Brother Mingcheng, what a coincidence. How about this, I'll treat you to breakfast. Xiaoma, you come for breakfast too." Director Wang warmly invited Gao Mingcheng to have breakfast together.
Gao Mingcheng did not refuse this. To him, going on the journey with them was just a favor. It would be good for them to take care of each other along the way.
So everyone went to a roadside breakfast shop and prepared to set off after having breakfast.
While having breakfast, Gao Mingcheng learned that they were from a cigarette factory. They brought a truckload of cigarettes to sell. On their way back, they had to buy some advanced equipment from Yangcheng. After replacing the new equipment, the production speed of cigarettes would be increased.
It was for this batch of equipment that they drove all the way to Guangzhou.
After breakfast, a Yellow River truck and an old Jiefang truck set off one after another.
Gao Mingcheng was already familiar with this road, but Director Wang and others were coming here for the first time, so he drove in the front and Director Wang and his team followed behind.
We were driving along just fine, when suddenly a big tree appeared across the road ahead.
Gao Mingcheng saw it from a distance and stopped the car in time.
Soon, the car behind him also stopped. Director Wang stuck his head out of the window, his face full of nervousness.
"Brother Mingcheng, what should we do?"
Gao Mingcheng observed the surroundings and said, "This road is shorter. We can reach downtown Yangcheng in two hours. If we take a detour, it will take a lot more time."
And the road may not be safe.
Gao Mingcheng jumped out of the car and called out, "Get out of the car, let's move the tree together."
Director Wang and others had no choice but to get off the car together.
The three of them, plus Gao Mingcheng, make it four people. If they work hard, they can still move the tree. (End of this chapter)
