Chapter 12 Town Tail Corner (Part 1)

After several rounds and turns, Cai Hongming took a bus to Gangwei Town, and he could get directly home from here.

I haven't returned for nearly a year, and the people in the town are still there. However, the old street in the past was shoveled and rebuilt, and a row of green trees were planted. It looks fresh and tidy, much better than the old street in the past. But I don't know which guy who was ill-ethical and smoke actually chose to use the beauty tree for greening, and he is not afraid of causing trouble. The beauty tree is beautiful when it blooms, but when it grows up, the thorns on the tree will become very hard and sharp. If you accidentally bump into it, your skin will definitely be broken and bloody. Then there will be another right and wrong lawsuit that "the man speaks with his reason, and the mother speaks with his reason."

After staying in Shencheng for a few days, the package that was shipped from Gulang through logistics had arrived. Cai Hongming found a truck, went to logistics to pick up things, and then went to the village.

Caijia Village is located in the mountains of Pinhai. In front of the village is a cylindrical basalt formed by a volcanic eruption billions of years ago, and behind it is a vast mountain. There is only basalt and a fertile land that can be cultivated among the mountains. For many years, the people of Caijia Village survived with this meager income.

Because it is remote and express logistics cannot be here, so every time there is something, you can only send it to the town and then come to pick it up.

I haven't returned for a while, and the village is still the same as before, and there is no change.

Now that the beginning of winter is over, the rice in the fields has been harvested, and the rice fields on the roadside are all empty, with only a crop of rice left. However, some people have plowed the ground and applied some fertilizer to plant wheat. The climate in southern Fujian is warm. If you master it well, you can plant two seasons of rice and one season of wheat a year, but the wheat yield is very small, which is basically an optional state.

I remember that every time this time came, I would call a few friends and take hoes and bags to dig up field mice.

For this matter, I was scolded by adults at that time because most of the field holes were on the walking field stems, and it was difficult to walk if they were dug up, and they would have to rest again next year, which was very troublesome.

Because Cai Hongming's family went to the northwest in the early years and did not build a house in the village, when they split up, his grandfather was afraid that they would have no place to live when they came back, so he distributed an old house that they had two entry to his father, while his second uncle lived in a newly built building.

The old house has gone through hundreds of years of ups and downs and has long been decayed, so last year his parents spent money to renovate it.

Today's old houses are no longer as old as they are, but instead reveal a simple and profound historical charm, with profound connotations.

The truck drove to the old house and stopped. Cai Hongming saw that the door was open and there was no one inside. He couldn't help but shouted: "Grandpa..." The voice spread far between the Qingyue Mountains, but it was strange that no one came out for a long time.

Well, what's going on?

Cai Hongming was confused. His grandfather has handed over all the bone massage to his second uncle, and he planted flowers and vegetables to his old age. Most of the time people are at home, why aren’t they seen each other today? It’s strange?

After thinking about it, he probably went out, so he and the truck driver carried the things he sent to the house. Her mother didn't know what was put inside and it was so heavy that everyone couldn't carry them. Even if the two of them carried them, it was very heavy. After carrying the things outside, she saw her friend Cai Zhengxian coming from a distance.

Cai Hongming looked at it and smiled and said, "Why are you here? Didn't you hear that you went to the province to be a coach?"

"The Provincial Games have ended recently. There is nothing wrong with it, so I'll come back and take a break. Your grandfather said a few days ago that you want to come back, why is it here now?"

"I have been playing in Shanghai for a few days. By the way, do you know where my grandfather has gone? Why is there no one at home?"

"Wangshi accidentally broke his leg with her cattle on the mountain. Your grandfather and second uncle both ran over to see."

"Then why didn't you go?"

"I was about to go, but when I heard you shouting, I came over. Your voice was still the same as before. Now I guess the whole village heard your voice."

It’s not that it’s estimated, but certainly, the village is not very big, and there are mountains on both sides, and the echoes are very powerful. Sometimes, the whole village can hear it, let alone his broken gong-like sound.

There was a good friend here, so the truck driver didn't need to help him. He gave money and asked politely if he wanted to go in and have tea. The driver said he didn't need to drive away. He and Cai Zhengxian moved the rest of the things into the house, and then took out a bag of candied fruit made of sambuki dates from his luggage to make refreshments. The two of them drank tea and ate in the house.

Speaking of which, none of the fruits in the northwest desert can be eaten.

Bitter beans are bitter and cold, poisonous; jujubes are sour and astringent, slightly sweet, and they will be constipated if eaten too much; sea buckthorn fruits are sour and astringent, difficult to enter; jujubes are even more bitter; only the white thorn fruits are better, and they are basically sweet.

However, these things are commonly used sand protection plants in the northwest region to control deserts. They have high medicinal and nutritional value and have always been highly praised by the government.

Not to mention other things, bitter beans are traditional Chinese medicine, and the medicinal value is not to be said; Sand dates are now promoted to almost everyone knows; beverages made of sea buckthorn fruit and wine make good snooker in the northwest region. Relatively speaking, Sand dates are a bit short and poor, and can only become food for camels. Therefore, Sand dates have always been rare.

This is true. Every time the maturity season comes, large areas of red jujubes can only become ornamental plants.

Later, some people felt that so many jujubes were wasted, so they picked the jujubes home. After various processes such as bitter marination, they made sweet candied fruits. Not to mention that they tasted really delicious. Unfortunately, the processing cost of this thing is far higher than its value, so they have been unable to promote it. Only in the areas around Gulang can you buy it.

After making some tea, Grandpa Cai Hongming and Cai Lang came back, and followed his second uncle.

Although Cai Lang is nearly 70 years old, he is strong, with bright eyes and making noises when walking.

"Grandpa, second uncle." Cai Hongming stood up and shouted intimately when he saw the two of them.

"Why did you walk for so long? Didn't your mother say she was going back a few days ago?" Cai Lang asked glared at him when he saw Cai Hongming.

"I've been playing in the city for a few days."

"It's still so playful." Cai Lang said dissatisfiedly.

"Grandpa, second uncle, come and try it. This is the specialty Shaguai date I brought back from the northwest." Cai Hongming quickly handed the Shaguai date to his grandpa and second uncle, and gave the tea place to prevent the old man from starting to make sense again.

Cai Lang took a few and tasted them, and found that the taste was really good, not sweet or greasy.

After Cai Hongming had tasted it, he put down the thing and opened the half-person-high package that his mother had packed. The mother put it in categories and said that she was going to give it to whom. He took out a big bag from it, which was so heavy, and he didn't know what it was. This was for his second uncle. He originally wanted to bring it back, but he would take it to himself after that.

There are several other large bags for relatives. It seems that they will be couriers in the past two days to deliver them to relatives one by one.

"I will go to my house to eat when I eat. Now your grandfather hasn't cooked, so he has eaten with me." His second uncle Cai Tianshou said while making tea.

"oh."

Cai Hongming responded, then took out a pack of things from it and threw them to Cai Zhengxian, "Take it, this is a good thing I brought from the northwest."

"What is it?" Cai Zhengxian asked, looking at the tightly packaged carton.

"Some Cistanche and Cordyceps sinensis, and a few snow lotus."

? "The Cordyceps sinensis is very expensive. What do you do for me? Just keep it at home and sell it. It's wasted me."

"I bought this there. The price is not as expensive as a pharmacy, and I don't give you many. Just a few, so you can keep it for chewing it yourself." Cai Hongming said disrespectfully.

He even treated himself as a livestock and chewed it. Seeing that it was his friend's wishes, Cai Zhengxian put it away.

Cai Hongming said again: "This thing is also expensive there. I will go there next year and I will not need money to dig it. See if I can dig it. If there is one, I will give you a few more."

"Can you dig this thing yourself?" Cai Zhengxian asked curiously.

"I have a helper girl from the barbecue stall over there. There is a grassland in the mountains in their village. I heard that Cordyceps sinensis also produces, but the amount is not very large. But who am I? No matter how many, I will definitely find it." Cai Hongming used his hand to make a stinky gesture with his stinking eyes and said proudly, "Also, in a few days, I will ask my mother to send some fresh beef on express delivery. I will deliver it to you and let you taste the fresh yak meat from the northwest. The pack of yaks in your hand is a bit hard, but it tastes good. Take it to try it first..."
