Chapter 289 The wild boar came down the mountain to eat vegetables
It took Gao Mingcheng five days to make the round trip. When he returned to the county, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. By the time he finished unloading the goods, it was almost five o'clock. However, while the owner sent people to unload the goods, he took the opportunity to go back to his home and drove his tractor over.
He purchased a lot of goods this time, and Director Ouyang also gave him a lot of magazines, which can be considered a big harvest. And next time he goes to Yangcheng to purchase goods, as long as Director Ouyang has the goods, he can go directly to the factory to get them, which is convenient and economical.
He shipped the goods back to his store and placed them in the warehouse, intending to clean them up later when there were no customers.
But at this moment, Xuanyimei told him some bad news.
"Mingcheng, my dad came yesterday and asked you to go back to the village if you have time. There are wild boars running down the mountain to eat the vegetables! Our area is the worst hit, and most of the vegetable fields are almost destroyed."
Xuanyuemei was filled with sorrow. She was heartbroken when she heard that her vegetable garden had been eaten by wild boars.
But since I’m not at home, there’s nothing I can do about some of the losses and I can only accept them.
In addition to their family, other families in the village also suffered more or less losses. During this period, some villagers have organized themselves to go into the mountains to hunt wild boars.
But the effect was not great, and three people were injured. One accidentally rolled down the hillside and unfortunately broke his arm. The other two were more unlucky and were hit by wild boars. If there had not been other people there at the time, they might have been hit to death by the wild boars.
So after everyone discussed it, they decided that Gao Mingcheng should be invited back. His previous experience of hunting wild boars had spread all over the country. Therefore, Gao Yuanjian rode his bicycle to the county to look for Gao Mingcheng, but Gao Mingcheng was out driving and not at home.
Xuanyuemei sighed, "Hey, Dad said that the villagers are crying and cursing every day. It's already annoying enough that the grain production has been reduced due to drought this year. We finally managed to grow some vegetables and sell them for a good price, but they were ruined by wild boars!"
Gao Shufang also said, "Yes, second brother, Dad said that the vegetable fields at home have been eaten by wild boars. Now someone has to patrol the fields every day."
After hearing this, Gao Mingcheng couldn't sit still anymore.
He wanted to go back to the village immediately, but was stopped by Xuanmei: "You have been driving for so long, you must be very tired now, no matter how anxious you are, you can't hurry, you might as well have a good sleep tonight and go back early tomorrow!"
Many beauties know that driving is very tiring, so they don't want Gao Mingcheng to be too tired.
Gao Mingcheng was really tired. In order to shorten the time spent on the road, he drove faster on the way back.
Driving requires a high level of concentration, and the body shakes with the bumps and jolts of the car, making it easy to get tired.
Seeing that it was almost five o'clock, it was not convenient to stay in the dark. So he put it aside for the time being and said, "Okay, I'll go back tomorrow. It's so beautiful. I'll make two more dishes for dinner. I'm a little hungry."
After giving the order, he had to go back to the vegetable market. Kelp was what a vegetable vendor wanted. After unloading the goods, he had to drive the truck back to the transportation company.
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng was busy outside again, Xuanyue prepared to cook dinner and asked Gao Shufang to look after the store.
Gao Shufang has gained some experience. When serving customers, although she is not as eloquent as before, she is not timid either.
She has learned tailoring skills and read a lot of fashion magazines. She has her own aesthetic and can provide customers with some pertinent suggestions.
But a good clothing salesperson cannot just give constructive suggestions, but must compliment the customer so much that he or she is so happy that he or she can't wait to buy the clothes.
When she is able to praise with her eyes closed, it will be a qualitative improvement.
Gao Mingcheng was busy outside for nearly an hour before returning to the store in the dark. At this time, there were no customers coming into the store to buy clothes. The whole store was very quiet. The thrifty Gao Shufang even turned off the three crystal chandeliers and only used incandescent lamps for lighting.
"Ming Cheng, it's time to eat." Xuanyuemei called out and shoveled the last dish out of the pot.
She knew that Gao Mingcheng had a big appetite, so she cooked more rice and vegetables. Seeing Gao Mingcheng eating like crazy, she was happy and distressed, thinking that Gao Mingcheng was too tired running back and forth like this.
"I'll boil a pot of hot water for you. You can take a good hot bath tonight. It will definitely make you feel more comfortable." Xuanyuemei said.
However, Gao Mingcheng thought wrongly and said thoughtfully: "It's time to take a bath."
When he was running outside, he didn't even take a shower for the sake of convenience.
Now that I have to sleep in the same bed with my wife, I will be disliked if I don’t take a shower.
He only said that one sentence, but many of the beauties understood what he meant. They couldn't help but glare at him in shame and anger, which then resulted in a hearty laugh.
That night, Gao Mingcheng took a hot bath, paid his "public grain" with all his heart, and then fell into a sound sleep.
The next morning, he got up early as usual, and saw that it was only six o'clock, and it was not yet bright.
He got up quietly, went to the first floor, went into the kitchen first to cook the porridge, then went to the clothing store, observed the furnishings in the store, and looked through the account book.
With the 9.9 yuan vests attracting traffic, business has been pretty good these days, with at least 20 to 30 vests sold every day.
When I looked at the inventory, I was surprised to find that there were only a few left. It seems that I have to bring some vests with me this time when I go back.
The vests he asked Dong Feixia to make were mainly floral vests, but he also used other leftover fabrics to make some men's and children's vests. Regardless of size, they were all priced at 9.9 yuan.
The remaining few items are basically children's sizes. Maybe people think that children's sizes are small and not cost-effective, so few people buy them.
After learning about the recent situation in the store, the porridge is almost cooked.
At this moment, Gao Shufang tiptoed downstairs. When she saw her second brother, she was surprised for a few seconds.
Gao Mingcheng asked curiously, "Why are you getting up so early?"
A clothing store is not like a breakfast shop. There is no need to open it early. Normally, it opens at 8:30, then does cleaning work. If there are customers at 9 o'clock, it is considered good.
Gao Shufang blushed before she spoke, and stammered, "I thought my second brother and sister-in-law would have to get up late, so I got up to cook porridge."
After saying that, she quickly glanced at Gao Mingcheng.
According to the information she had heard, her second brother and sister-in-law should not have been able to get out of bed this morning!
Well, as for where I got the news from, I won’t go into details.
Could it be that her second brother is not good enough? This thought flashed through Gao Shufang's mind quickly, but she immediately denied it. Her sister-in-law was obviously very satisfied with her second brother, so how could it be not good enough?
Gao Mingcheng looked at her strangely. Why was she blushing so early in the morning?
However, adolescent girls are sensitive, so Gao Mingcheng didn't say anything or ask any further questions. He just said that the porridge was ready and asked her to go and wash up.
After washing up, the brother and sister ate first. Their breakfast was simple, just porridge, eggs and pickled vegetables.
After washing the egg, put it directly into the porridge and cook it. This way the porridge and the egg will be cooked at the same time, which saves a lot of trouble.
After dinner, Gao Mingcheng said, "Your sister-in-law may be a little tired today, so you should be smart, okay?"
Gao Shufang's eyes lit up instantly and she nodded vigorously.
She understands, she really understands!
The remaining porridge and eggs were kept warm on the stove, waiting for Xuanyuemei to wake up before eating. Gao Mingcheng took the tractor keys and prepared to return to the village.
In fact, he was mentally prepared for the wild boars to come down the mountain to look for food.
The weather was dry this year and the vegetation in the mountains was also affected. The oak trees, which the wild boars relied on for survival in previous years, also saw a significant reduction in production. If there is a problem with the main food, then sooner or later there will be problems with the wild boars as well.
The wild boars had not come down the mountain before, and he thought that this might be because there was still some food in the mountain, and that Lord Ma and his men had killed a group of wild boars in the mountain before, which had reduced the number of wild boars in advance.
But wild boars do not hibernate and they have big appetites. Therefore, when there is no food in the mountains, they will come down the mountain sooner or later. Once they come down the mountain and eat the vegetables grown by the villagers and taste the sweetness, they will come down the mountain frequently.
People know that cultivated vegetables are tastier than wild vegetables, but don’t wild boars know that?
No matter what kind of animal it is, when faced with food that tastes good, they tend to eat a lot.
Gao Mingcheng looked solemn as he wondered how many wild boars he had to kill in order to achieve ecological balance.
It is obviously not possible to kill them all, we have to leave some healthy wild boars for reproduction.
Then you can start by selecting based on the old, weak, sick and disabled, and hunt down a proper number of them. After the number of wild boars decreases sharply, they will know that humans are not easy to mess with, and will not come down the mountain easily.
Since the number is small, the food needed is also small, so it can naturally be obtained from the mountains.
Gao Mingcheng drove the tractor all the way back to the village. As soon as he entered the village, he was stopped by someone who asked him to go into the mountains to hunt wild boars.
But Gao Mingcheng refused directly: "Uncle, I am used to hunting in the mountains alone, so I won't go with you."
Gao Mingcheng's high fighting power gives him the confidence to be a lone ranger.
For him, hunting with a team was a burden. Moreover, after killing a wild boar, everyone had to share the meat. There might be arguments over who got the larger piece and who got the better piece.
Hearing his refusal, the elders from the first branch of the family were somewhat displeased, but there was nothing they could do as they were of less importance and Gao Mingcheng's father had to speak up for them.
So, seeing Gao Mingcheng heading towards Niuweiling, the elder went to Gao Yuanjian's house, wanting Gao Yuanjian to persuade Gao Mingcheng and the people from their eldest branch to form a team to go into the mountains to hunt wild boars.
How could Gao Yuanjian not know what this person was thinking?
But as they are all members of the first family, they are all related, so it is understandable that they want to take advantage of the opportunity to get some benefits.
Gao Yuanjian thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to him later, but Mingcheng has a stubborn temper and likes to do things on his own. I don't know whether he will listen to me or not."
Fortunately, everyone in the village knew that Gao Mingcheng had a stubborn temper and had never been an obedient child since childhood, so when they heard this, they were worried!
Here, Gao Mingcheng had already returned home. As soon as he parked the car, Black Tiger and Elf ran towards him, barking non-stop as if they were complaining.
Heihu was humane and gestured to Gao Mingcheng to follow, then took Gao Mingcheng to the vegetable field at the foot of the mountain.
When he saw the severely damaged vegetable fields, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but swear even though he was mentally prepared.
Is it easy for him to grow some vegetables?
Digging and loosening the soil, sowing and watering, fertilizing and weeding, isn't it all for a bite to eat!
Now most of the vegetables in the vegetable garden have been eaten by wild boars. These wasteful fellows don’t even know to finish eating a whole vegetable before moving on to other things. As a result, half of the cabbage, radishes and other vegetables have been eaten, and the other half is left in the vegetable garden.
So sad!
