Chapter 40 Picking Yew Seeds
After arranging the accommodation and meal problems of the instructors, Zhang Lang kept taking a small team from the forest protection team into the mountain.
The qualifiers start on the Double Ninth Festival. The Double Ninth Festival is October 3rd of the Gregorian calendar. Half a month has passed and frost is about to fall. For the Northeast, the temperature has hovered between zero and ten degrees, and it may snow at any time.
Zhang Lang led the forest protection team into the mountain to pick the seeds of yew. In mid-to-late October, the time when the seeds of yew mature.
The selected forest ranger team was extremely excited, carrying a gun and following Zhang Lang with great pride.
Although Zhang Lang is the captain of the forest range team, these players have very little time to spend with Zhang Lang alone.
Just three years ago, when Zhang Lang taught them martial arts, he stayed in the forest protection team for a longer time. Later, after everyone learned it, Zhang Lang rarely went to the forest protection team.
The forest ranger is the armed force of Xilong Villa and the treatment is quite good.
There is also an additional income for a monthly salary of more than 100 yuan, and it doesn’t cost money for food, accommodation and clothing.
I didn’t work for one day and had two days off, and my salary was several times higher than that of workers in big cities. Where can I find such a job?
Therefore, the members of the forest range team are full of respect and even love Zhang Lang, who brings them a happy life.
In addition to patroling, the forest range team also undertakes the task of growing herbs in the mountains and forests. Zhang Lang would give them some of the income from selling medicinal materials every year.
It can be said that the bonus is far more than their salary income.
As a successful village director, how could Zhang Lang leave the forest idle? The forest contracted by Xilong Villa does not cut down trees does not mean that there is no income.
The cultivation of Chinese herbal medicine in the forest was considered as soon as I received the Xilong Mountains.
The precious Chinese medicinal materials are an income. The income of the medicinal materials alone is no less than that of growing vegetable greenhouses, which does not include ginseng, a medicinal material with a relatively long planting year.
In recent years, Zhang Langguang has scattered more than one thousand kilograms of ginseng seeds into the mountains and forests.
It can be imagined how much wealth this batch of ginseng will be after waiting for more than ten or twenty years.
While Zhang Lang's Xilong Villa was constantly creating wealth, it paid more attention to the precipitation of its foundation. Many of the wealth was hidden by Zhang Lang. It can be said that the wealth hidden in Xilong Villa will definitely become the richest village in the world in twenty years.
The wealth accumulated by Xilong Villa is incomparable to those villages that make it rich overnight by selling resources.
The wealth of Xilong Villa is sustainable, and the longer it settles, the more wealth it has.
Zhang Lang brought the first team of the forest ranger to Wild Boar Ridge. Not long after, the golden retriever summoned by Zhang Lang also arrived with his monkey grandson.
The main work of picking yew seeds today is done by monkeys and grandchildren led by golden retrievers.
The main task of the forest range team is to bag the yew seeds picked by the monkeys and transport them back to the village.
In fact, if they don’t need them, Zhang Lang can transport the seeds back by himself, put them in the storage ring, and take them back easily.
However, the yew tree specially cultivated by Zhang Lang has a crown height of more than 30 meters and a crown diameter of more than 100 meters. Zhang Lang roughly estimated that it would be more than two tons and more than twenty bags of yew seeds. It is difficult to explain if he put it back with a storage ring.
Anyway, in this season, the forest ranger has no other job except patrol. He is idle too, and Zhang Lang doesn't want to try hard to think about those excuses to hide his secrets.
"Captain, did you find these monkeys?" Liu Quanzhi looked at Zhang Lang and directed the monkey group to climb trees to pick yew seeds, and his chin almost fell off in shock.
Not only the team leader Liu Quanzhi, but also the other team members, their eyes almost popped out.
They knew that their captain was very powerful, had great martial arts skills, and made money very well, but that was definitely different from directing the monkey to work.
"Yes! You can pick such a tall tree, but you don't know when it will be picked! You can't reach the red beans on the treetops!"
"What are we doing?"
"You are responsible for packing the bags below and then transporting the seeds back!" Zhang Lang was speaking, and the monkeys on the tree began to throw down the picked yew seeds.
"Golden Retriever, tell your monkeys that the seeds are poisonous and cannot be eaten!" Zhang Lang shouted when he saw a monkey stuffing the picked red beans into his mouth.
The seeds of mature yew are very small, and there is a layer of fake seed coat on the outside. This layer of fake seed coat is sweet and sour, delicious and delicious, but it contains a small amount of toxins. It is okay to eat a small amount. Eating too much can easily cause kidney function weakness.
"Squeak······································"
The Monkey King Golden Retriever also found that his monkeys and grandchildren had stolen food and was furious. This was simply damaging the credibility of his golden retriever. I thought that the golden retriever had worked with the Gods for several years. When did he do something about stealing food? The angry golden retriever bared his teeth and slapped him, and he didn't forget to scold the monkeys and grandchildren.
After teaching his monkey grandson a lesson, the golden retriever clasped his fists with his hands and bowed to Zhang Lang to apologize.
After being taught a lesson by the golden retriever, the monkey group became much more honest and never dared to steal it. They honestly threw the picked yew seeds on the ground.
"This... This is so amazing!" Liu Quanzhi looked incredible.
The monkey helps with the work, it’s fine if he can hear people’s words, but he even knows to apologize. Has this monkey become a spirit?
"Don't underestimate these monkeys, they are very smart! Do you know my monkey wine? It's what they brew!"
Zhang Lang’s Monkey Wine is very famous. Unfortunately, except for the old men in the village who can get one every year, others can only be envious. Liu Quanzhi only drank a glass of Zhang Qi’s full moon wine.
"Captain, when will we try your monkey wine again?" Liu Quanzhi asked with a smile on his face.
"Get out of here, I know that I'm thinking about my wine all day long and want to drink it myself!"
"Captain! We are not monkeys, so how can we make monkey wine?"
"What's the difficulty? Monkey wine is also called Baiguo wine. When you patrol, you can collect wild fruits from the mountains and go back, wash them and dry them, put them in a jar, pour them with raw wine, seal them and ferment them all winter, and it's almost Monkey wine."
"That's so simple?" Liu Quanzhi asked in surprise.
He just tried it, but he didn't expect Zhang Lang would really give him the monkey wine. Anyway, he wouldn't suffer any loss after testing it.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lang would tell him how to make Monkey Wine.
"What do you think? How complicated do you think the wine brewed by monkeys can be?" Zhang Lang smiled.
