Chapter 403 Field Survey
According to what Ruan Shaohong said, the two found the person they were looking for in a courtyard.
The man's name was Liu Gang. His family rented two rooms in the courtyard. He usually took his brothers to take on some yard renovation work. It was he who was asked to do the yard renovation for Huo Haocheng's family before.
After meeting the person, Huo Haocheng explained his purpose. With Ruan Shaohong as a guarantor, Liu Gang readily agreed and made an appointment with him to go to the suburbs to look at the land early the next morning.
After completing the preliminary preparations, Huo Haocheng drove them to the suburbs early the next morning, and Ruan Shaohong followed behind them.
After arriving at the place, Ruanruan pointed to several mountains around and said, "These mountains are also ours. If the wood in the mountains can be used, you can use it. But there are also some medicinal herbs in the mountains. After a while, when the pharmaceutical factory is built, we will arrange people to come and collect them, so you must be careful when cutting trees."
Like Yuncheng, Ruanruan wanted to grow medicinal herbs in the mountains. As for the growers, she would select some people from Yuncheng who were willing to come to the capital and teach them how to grow and pick them.
The expenses in Beijing are much higher than those in Yuncheng. Ruanruan believes that many people are willing to earn some extra money to supplement their family expenses.
"Okay, we'll go to the mountains later and cut down what we can use first." Looking at the mountains in front of them, Chen Liang and Zheng Xuyang's eyes lit up. When they were in Yuncheng, there were also mountains, but those mountains were not theirs. Although they could go hunting and relax in their free time, if they really needed to use the wood, stones and other things in the mountains, they would have to spend money.
Now, these mountains are theirs. They can use local materials appropriately and save some expenses. You know, the price of wood is not cheap nowadays!
After talking about the mountain, they began to observe the terrain.
Ruanruan discussed with them as they walked, and then wrote down the key points in a notebook.
Huo Haocheng watched his wife talking nonstop while her eyes were looking elsewhere, but the pen in her hand never stopped. He followed her curiously to see what she wrote down. However, when he saw some strange symbols in the notebook, he could only recognize one or two words occasionally, but could not understand the rest at all.
Could this be some language he had never seen before? Huo Haocheng scratched his head and thought to himself, but he really seemed to have never seen such language before.
After roughly surveying the area, they found several water holes. Looking at the direction of the water flow, two of them came from the mountains, and several others came from the ground. Moreover, these water holes could be used as drinking water if used properly, so they used them to draw water from other places.
In order to find out the source of the water in the mountains, several people went upstream. Deep in the mountains, they saw a relatively large pool of water with a small waterfall above it. The water in the pool was very clear and they could see fish swimming in it.
We are tired after climbing up, so we can take a break here, catch two fish and have lunch together.
After Ruanruan proposed this idea, everyone thought it was a good idea and the matter was happily decided.
Zheng Xuyang and Chen Liang went to the pond to catch fish, while Ruanruan and Huo Haocheng went to see if there was anything else to eat. This season was the season when fruits were ripe, and the two were lucky. After walking out for a few minutes, they saw a peach tree. The place was relatively remote in the mountains, and usually no one came here. The peaches on the tree looked small, but they were all red and looked delicious.
Ruanruan glanced at Huo Haocheng. He picked one consciously, wiped the peach on the corner of his clothes, and then took a bite. Ruanruan had been observing his expression. Seeing that he seemed to be eating well, she walked over with confidence and prepared to start picking.
"You have a bite too." Huo Haocheng put the peach in his hand next to Ruanruan's mouth and asked her to take a bite. They climbed all the way up and were very tired. It happened that several big men went to the pond to drink some water. Only Ruanruan thought there were fish in the water, and she didn't know how many animals usually took a bath or drank water in it, so she didn't drink any water.
She was also thirsty at the moment, but it was her own fault for forgetting to take the water bottle that Huo Haocheng had prepared for her.
Before going out, Huo Haocheng filled Ruanruan's kettle with water, then handed the kettle to Ruanruan and went outside to wait in the car while he went to the toilet. However, Ruanruan took the kettle one second and put it on the cabinet by the door the next second, went into the house to get some money, thinking that if they acted quickly, they could invite others to have lunch together at noon. After all, they would have to trouble others more in the future. However, she forgot about the kettle when she came out.
After Huo Haocheng came out of the toilet, he was afraid that they would have to wait for a long time, so he went straight out of the yard from the kitchen.
Watching Huo Haocheng wipe off the hair on the peach, Ruanruan took a bite of the peach with the help of his hand. Hmm, it looked small, but still quite juicy and sweet. After taking a bite, Ruanruan opened her mouth again and finished eating the peach with the help of Huo Haocheng's hand.
Afterwards, Huo Haocheng used the military knife he brought with him to cut off two banana leaves and put the peaches in them. After picking all the peaches, Ruanruan found some medicinal herbs that could be used as seasonings and dug up some wild vegetables. When they felt that they were almost done, the two of them carried the banana leaves back to the team.
When they came back, Zheng Xuyang and his friends had already cleaned the fish. While collecting firewood, Ruan Shaohong and Liu Gang also caught a rabbit, which they could roast together.
"Wow, where did you pick so many peaches?" Chen Liang asked curiously as he looked at the peaches and wild vegetables on the banana leaves they carried back.
"There's a peach over there. Try it, it's quite sweet." After placing the banana leaf on a relatively flat surface, Ruanruan let him take it and try it himself.
Chen Liang didn't hesitate. He picked up a few peaches and washed them in the pond. Then he gave one to each of them and started eating them.
He took a big bite and almost broke his teeth, but fortunately, it was indeed sweet.
When others saw him like this, they took small bites when eating, for fear of accidentally knocking their teeth.
After the group had lunch in the mountains, they surveyed the terrain and trees in the mountains. After confirming that they could be cut down, Liu Gang said that he would bring some people over when he returned.
"When you cut down trees, you must only cut down the big ones. You must not touch the small ones like these, otherwise the mountain will become bald. If excessive cutting of trees leads to landslides or mudslides in the future, property damage is a small matter. It would be terrible if someone died."
Ruanruan had seen too many landslides and mudslides caused by floods due to deforestation, and a home was destroyed in an instant. She didn't want to see such things.
"Don't worry, we know how to cut down trees in moderation." Seeing the boss say that, Liu Gang certainly didn't dare to disobey. Besides, he looked tall and strong, and gave people the impression that he was a thug outside. He also attached great importance to money. There was nothing he could do about it. Who asked him to support his parents, wife and children alone? If he didn't do this, their family would have been bullied to death long ago.
But he is still a trustworthy person, otherwise Ruan Shaohong would not have introduced him to them.
"Okay, I'm still very confident in you guys doing the job." Hearing him say that, Ruanruan felt relieved.
