Chapter 96 Many Beautiful Choices (Additional chapter for the reward from Deacon 'Damo Ke')
Huang Dazhi didn't get to eat ginseng stewed meat, but Gao Mingcheng got to eat ginseng stewed chicken.
The chicken was a pheasant he had shot in the mountains. He stewed it with three or four slices of ginseng until it was tender, with delicious soup and fresh meat.
He gave ginseng and wolfberry to Huang Dazhi, Gao Guobing and his family, and he naturally kept some for himself.
After a few days of good weather, the tea seeds drying in the yard gradually cracked, revealing the black kernels inside.
Grandma Xi is a very active person. Now the rice in the fields has been harvested, the land has been turned over, and the seeds of winter vegetables have been sown. So in her spare time, she would squat in the yard to work, cleaning out the empty shells and piling them aside to dry. After drying, they can be burned as firewood.
All the tea seeds in the mountains have been picked, but there are still Castanopsis chinensis to be picked, and the yield of Castanopsis chinensis is much higher. Sometimes you can pick dozens of kilograms of Castanopsis chinensis from under a tree.
Castanopsis berries cannot be eaten directly, but after a series of processing, they can be made into Castanopsis berries tofu. Every late autumn, villagers go into the mountains to pick Castanopsis berries. When there are few vegetables to eat in winter, Castanopsis berries tofu becomes a delicious dish on the table.
Gao Mingcheng saw other people in the village picking up some, so he followed suit. However, he only picked up about 20 to 30 kilograms and stopped because he had no intention of selling them and only eating them himself.
The price of Castanopsis sclerophylla is much cheaper than tea seeds, and Gao Mingcheng no longer cares about that little money.
He looked down on it, but Xuandumei did. One day, Xuandumei and Xuanduyu were picking oak trees in the mountains and had a conflict with someone.
"This tree is public property. Why can you pick the fruits but we can't?" Manyu Mei glared at Aunt Huang in front of her.
Aunt Huang was Gao Ren's mother, and she was picking oak trees with her two granddaughters. Ever since she came to propose marriage but was rejected by Xuanyimei, and Gao Mingcheng had killed her son, she had disliked Xuanyimei very much.
As for Gao Mingcheng, she didn't dare to provoke him.
At this time, she put her hands on her hips and said confidently: "The tree is public property, but look down and see where you are standing! The land under your feet is the hilltop of my home!"
It turned out that although the Castanopsis bitter oak tree was public property, its branches tilted toward the mountain where Aunt Huang lived, so the Castanopsis bitter oak fruits also fell there.
Many beautiful people are angry, but a little lacking in confidence.
Xuanyu pulled Xuanmei's clothes to keep things quiet and said, "Forget it, let's go pick it up somewhere else."
Seeing the two sisters leave in shame, Aunt Huang snorted complacently.
Gao Mingcheng stood on a hillside and saw the entire scene, but he did not show up to help Xuanmei, mainly because this little thing was not worth a conflict.
After Xuanyuemei went to other places, Gao Mingcheng appeared in front of her.
"Duomei, come here." Gao Mingcheng waved to Duomei to come over.
Manyu Mei's eyes lit up instantly, with smiles on their faces, and they walked towards Gao Mingcheng happily.
Although the two have already decided to get married and are now considered a couple in the honeymoon period, they actually don't see each other very often. This is mainly because they are too busy with too many things.
"I'll get it for you." Gao Mingcheng naturally took the bag from Xuanyuemei's hand, weighed it, and it probably weighed a few kilograms.
"Duomei, do you want to study medicine or do business?" Gao Mingcheng has some plans for Duomei's future, but the specific plan depends on Duomei's own wishes.
Many beautiful girls' eyes were wide open, as if they didn't understand.
"How to study medicine? How to do business?" she asked.
"If you want to study medicine, I will find an old Chinese doctor for you, and you can just become his apprentice. If you want to do business, you can do the clothing business. I found that the clothing stores in the county are doing very well." Gao Mingcheng said, stretching out his hand to block the horizontal branches in front of Xuanyuemei.
Manyu Mei only felt her heart beating fast, her cheeks flushed with excitement. She put her hands together in front of her chest, her fingertips moving restlessly.
With just a few words, Gao Mingcheng opened up many closed minds. She had never thought that one day she could study medicine or do business.
If someone else said this, many women would sneer and think it was nonsense. But the person who said this was Gao Mingcheng, and Gao Mingcheng would never lie to her.
"But... I can't even recognize all the characters... How can I study medicine? Will the old Chinese doctor think I'm stupid and refuse to teach me? If I want to do business, I don't know how to make clothes. I can't even use a sewing machine!" Xuanyuemei was both excited and at a loss.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, as long as you are willing to learn. Duomei, think about it carefully. Once you have figured it out, I will arrange it for you. If you want to learn how to make clothes, there are ready-made masters. You can learn from Aunt Dong, and I can also buy you a sewing machine."
Gao Mingcheng's words made many beauties make their choice almost instantly.
“I want to learn how to make clothes!”
Dong Feixia is the tailor in their village. Most of the people in the village ask her to make their clothes. Her craftsmanship is quite good.
The reason why Xuanyuemei chose to make clothes was because Dong Feixia was not only a villager, but also a woman.
As for the old Chinese doctor? Most likely he was a man, and definitely not from their village. Many beauties were extremely nervous about worshipping a stranger as their teacher.
Gao Mingcheng supported Xuanyumei's choice, so he said, "Okay, I'll go ask Aunt Dong today if she's willing to take you in as her apprentice. I'll tell you when I get some news."
"Yeah!" Xuanyuemei responded heavily.
After the two parted, Gao Mingcheng carried the two wild rabbits and went to Gao Shouwang's house.
Gao Shouwang and Dong Feixia were both at home. Dong Feixia was using a sewing machine to make clothes, while Gao Shouwang was helping with the fabric.
The weather was getting colder, and someone bought cloth and cotton and asked Dong Feixia to help make cotton-padded clothes. When Gao Mingcheng saw the cotton-padded clothes, he realized that he and Xuanyuemei didn't have many suitable cotton-padded clothes, so he had to make some arrangements.
"Uncle, aunt." Gao Mingcheng greeted with a smile, handed over the hare in his hand, and then said straight to the point: "Aunt, are you busy recently? I also want to make a few cotton-padded clothes and thick pants. I'll buy the fabric and cotton from you. I'm too lazy to make an extra trip."
"Okay, but I'm a bit busy these days, so it will take a few days before it's done." Dong Feixia said quickly.
"There's no rush. By the way, aunt, are you willing to accept an apprentice? Duomei said she wanted to learn how to make clothes, and I want her to find you to learn the skills. What do you think? Oh, don't worry, Duomei won't be a tailor in the village in the future. I plan to let her work in a clothing store in the county." Gao Mingcheng said sincerely. Many people do not accept apprentices because they are afraid that teaching the apprentice will starve to death.
Therefore, Gao Mingcheng made it clear from the beginning that Xuanyuemei would not stay in the village to work as a tailor in the future. In this way, there would be no conflict of interest between the two.
Dong Feixia was stunned and didn't speak immediately.
But Gao Shouwang agreed on her behalf.
"Okay, you can ask Duomei to come over tomorrow. Feixia has received a lot of orders, so it would be good to have someone to help out."
