After visiting Xingjie, Gu Zhaocheng no longer had any clear plans in the city.
The rest of the time was spent shopping in the city.
As long as you are familiar with the situation, it just depends on where you go.
It fits Gu Zhaocheng's age very well. A young man of this age is exactly the age when he should be a street kid.
Although the security in the city cannot be said to be very good.
But for someone like Gu Zhaocheng, who could tell at a glance that he came from the mountains to the countryside, others would not be interested in him.
The result of being too poor is that even evil-minded people will look down on you.
Go to major farmers' markets, medicinal materials markets, and traditional Chinese medicine stores to inquire about the purchasing prices of resources produced in the woods.
It can also be considered as a little market research for the future.
The last step is to go to the mall and pick out some gifts for everyone in the family.
Of course you can’t come empty-handed when you come all the way.
Shopping in Sandaogou Forest Farm is not that convenient. There is only a vegetable store and a small shop for daily necessities.
To buy other things, you have to wait to go to the market, and even if you go to the town, the market is not close.
When you come to the city, all kinds of supplies are more complete and the prices are cheaper. You can buy whatever you can easily buy.
Near the forest farm, the prices of agricultural products are a little better.
But industrial products are relatively more expensive.
Wholesalers belonging to the provincial capital go to the south to purchase goods, and wholesalers in the city go to the provincial capital to purchase goods.
The retailers in the town went to the city to purchase goods, and there were many middlemen in between.
Every time you go through a middleman, the cost will increase.
Therefore, in this era, the more remote the location, the higher the price of purchasing industrial supplies.
So in this era, people who have started to think about online shopping and reject middlemen are still very discerning.
"Zhaocheng, did you study well in the city this time?"
After buying gifts for everyone in the city, Gu Zhaocheng's ranger training was over.
So I returned to Sandaogou Forest Farm, and suddenly I was still friendly when I came back.
There is a big difference between the mountains and the city.
Not to mention all aspects of the environment and familiar relatives.
Even the weather is different. It warms up much slower in the mountains than in the city.
There is not a wide range of choices for gifts to bring home, and the family conditions of Lao Gu's family do not allow for fancy gifts.
When spending money, it should be economical and practical. All Gu Zhaocheng brought back were clothes.
Although the temperature in the forest area has not yet risen, it will happen soon.
A warm breeze blows in, and the forest farm will soon usher in recovery.
"I learned very well."
After thinking for a while, Gu Zhaocheng replied to Gu Changshan that he was doing well in the city this week.
Others may feel that the training is boring and the food and accommodation are not good, but Gu Zhaocheng does not feel this at all.
"That's fine. It's just the right time for you to study. The bureau has also informed our forest farm that when the weather gets warmer, we will plant trees and support seedlings soon. You can put this training to use immediately after you return.
."
This is something that the forest farm has been doing in recent years.
However, it is a pity that the concept of sustainable development in forest farms has been awakened relatively late.
Although tree planting has been going on for some years, the artificially planted forests are not yet ready for harvesting.
The trees that can be harvested here at the forest farm have been cut off.
It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. This is a necessary process.
If you don’t plant trees now, there will still be no trees available in the next generation.
"Okay, I'll be with you when the seedlings are planted."
It is not easy to cut down trees, and it is also quite difficult to plant trees.
In the past, logging required everyone from top to bottom of the forest farm to be mobilized.
Now we have to start planting trees, which is actually a matter of mobilizing everyone.
Temporary workers like Gu Zhaocheng move wherever they are needed, so of course it is impossible not to participate in this matter.
The three generations of Lao Gu's family, who are not related by blood, will soon be working together.
"What are you busy with in the woods during this time?"
The end of March and the beginning of April is actually a suitable time to plant trees. Even in mountainous areas, there won’t be too many nights, so it’s almost time to plant trees.
Gu Changshan probably thought that Gu Zhaocheng would follow suit from now on.
We did the preliminary preparations together, but we didn't expect that Gu Changshan would have to act alone.
"The three deer, one big, two small, and three that I adopted are going to be sent back to the group."
Gu Zhaocheng actually didn't plan to hide this matter from anyone, but he hadn't talked about it before, so he didn't tell his family.
You always have to find an opportunity to talk, otherwise if you take the money home without a clear source, Gu Changshan won't dare to spend it when he sees it.
Although this is no longer the case in the past, income from unknown sources was reported.
But it doesn't mean that the money can come from a suitable source and the family won't worry.
When it comes to guarding the forest farm, it’s actually quite easy to make mistakes.
"Are you sure you can send them back?"
Gu Changshan was still concerned, although Gu Changshan did not have the concept of protecting these animals.
However, he had the habit of always obeying the policy, and the policy required protection, so Gu Changshan recognized the need for protection from the bottom of his heart.
"I'll try my best, but if I can't send them back, I need you, dad, to help me go through some breeding and breeding procedures. These deer can't stay in the dark forever."
Gu Zhaocheng said nothing to Gu Changshan in advance.
To tame these wild deer, you still need to go through some procedures.
This would not be possible without Gu Changshan’s support.
Gu Changshan is a man of honor, and in this era when honor is still valued by others.
After leaving the forest farm, this honor still has some respect.
Just a reminder, normal people should show some respect.
Within the forestry system, it is also relatively respectable.
Within this system, there are very few leaders in Bianhe who have not heard of Gu Changshan.
When Gu Changshan helps with various special procedures, it will be easier to pass.
"Then you go about your business first and speak to me when you need me."
Gu Changshan will still try his best to satisfy Gu Zhaocheng's requirements.
He was far less harsh on Gu Zhaocheng than Gu Xi.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Of course, it is also Gu Zhaoxi’s habitual request, and parents will not be satisfied without a bottom line.
Gu Zhaocheng never asked for anything, just once, and it was still easy to understand.
"Do you need me to do any farm work at home?"
In fact, these forest farm families all have their own farmland to a greater or lesser extent.
It is impossible to guard a large area of land and prevent people from clearing it to grow food.
No one would be willing to spend money to buy grain if they could farm their own land.
Besides, the policy for a period of time was to open up wasteland and grow grain.
It is impossible for these people who are full of farming genes to value the fertile black land so much that it is so abandoned.
Every household actually grows some food based on their own labor situation.
The forest farm is considered the family members of employees, not farmers.
The scale of farming is not large, it is relatively small, and there is no situation where a family has dozens of acres.
Land is not regarded as the family's main source of income.
But if a family can grow three to two acres and produce enough food for their own consumption, there will be no problem.
Rice has relatively high water requirements and is not easy to grow here.
But sorghum, soybeans, and corn are easy to grow.
People who are more diligent, or even people who live a normal life, will plant some.
When the season comes, they will also plant some vegetables without selling them for money.
It's not easy to sell under such transportation conditions. A small amount of vegetables doesn't even cost enough to transport.
The main thing is to make a picture that is self-sufficient.
"We don't need you. There isn't much land in total. I can help your mother and we can do these things."
"Okay, then I will continue back to the mountain tomorrow."
There are still some machines on the forest farm, so plowing and farming is not a problem.
After all, the time is about to enter the new millennium, and there is no need for such complete man-made farming.
Planting two or three acres of land is not a big job.
Gu Zhaocheng didn't insist on planting with him. In fact, the original Gu Zhaocheng didn't have this farming skill.
If you don't expose yourself as an old farmer, you won't be able to do much.
"Luzi, Dahua, Erhua, all of you, please come out."
After going to the city for a few days and returning to the forest farm to start work, Gu Zhaocheng still took three deer and two dogs to search in the mountains.
There is no conflict with Gu Zhaocheng's daily work.
Gu Zhaocheng always wears a red sleeve band and a whistle when working.
He patrolled the logging routes around the forest farm and the various firewood collection roads.
The skid road is the route used to transport timber out of the mountain after logging.
Because there are cars passing by, it is a simpler mountain road, which is easier to walk than walking through the thorns and thorns in the forest.
"Yoah, yoah."
Gu Zhaocheng was pleasantly surprised when he heard the deer barking in the forest.
Gu Zhaocheng's time was not in vain. He made up his mind and really went into the woods without even returning home.
It took ten days to finally find a herd of deer deep in the forest farm.
In fact, the living range of sika deer is quite small.
It is within the range of a few kilometers to more than ten kilometers.
Under normal circumstances, they will not migrate too far.
That is to say, the terrain of the forest farm is complex, with one hilltop connected to another, one hilltop after another, and one ditch after another.
It's not that far away in a straight line, but it's actually not that easy to walk over mountains and ridges.
Deep in the forest, this location should be considered safe for the deer, so Gu Zhaocheng could go into the forest without delaying his work.
Only when there is no shortage of supplies will we drill into such a deep forest.
The nearby villagers and employees who want to poach are not told whether they have so much time.
The Sandaogou Forest Farm is currently lacking in resources, and it is difficult to find tigers, leopards, lynxes, sables, black bears, and other animals with high economic benefits.
Going into the mountains like this will result in no harvest for several days. For those who want to make money, it is basically a loss of blood.
Might as well go to the city and move bricks to make money.
There are really people who can find the prey they want in such mountainous areas where resources are scarce.
Don't bother yourself with the Sandaogou forest farm. People with this kind of ability no longer make a living here.
You can definitely choose to cross the border and go to Maozi Country to make a fortune.
The vast world of Siberia is a space for these people to develop.
Guns are not allowed there, and once you enter the mountain, it is much safer than here.
After finding the deer herd, things are actually much simpler.
Although animals like sika deer are timid and dare not see people.
But Gu Zhaocheng has an undercover presence, so he doesn't have to worry about losing the herd.
After following me for two days, I found out the range of activities of these sika deer.
Just give the deer anesthesia and then collect the antlers.
This herd of deer is actually relatively large, but there are mostly female deer and fawns.
The weather is still a little colder and the stags have not yet left the herd to live alone.
Otherwise, many of the deer found only have female deer and cubs.
The situation in this group is not bad, there are five stags that are old enough to collect antler.
In fact, this is considered a technical job, but Gu Zhaocheng has many years of craftsmanship and is proficient in various carpentry, cook, and doctor skills.
Sawing off the deer antlers was no problem, and they even thoughtfully applied medicine to these stags.
Since these deer live in this forest, to Gu Zhaocheng, there is not much difference from keeping them in captivity.
This forest belongs to Gu Zhaocheng, which means he is free-range in the forest.
As long as these deer don't encounter any accidents and run out of Gu Zhaocheng's territory, it will be fine.
It is not only convenient for this group of deer to live here, Gu Zhaocheng helps breed his female deer.
Importantly, deer antlers can be collected twice a year.
It's not bad for deer. Deer antler is of no use at all. The velvet that will fall off on its own is exchanged for Gu Zhaocheng's protection.
It's actually quite worth it.
Gu Zhaocheng can not only reduce poaching by taking care of this herd of deer.
It can also drive away predators in the forest, so this group of sika deer will have no natural enemies, and the growth of the deer herd is just around the corner.
Preparing velvet antler also requires some methods. After dipping it in water, drying it, and then roasting it, which delayed another two days.
The quality of processing methods is also a major factor in the quality.
After working hard for half a month, Gu Zhaocheng got less than a pound and several hundred grams of antler.
Satisfied, he took his three deer and prepared to go out into the mountains.
This doe with her calf still lives with Gu Zhaocheng.
How can those who live in the open air following the deer herds enjoy the carefree life of Gu Zhaocheng, who enjoys good food, drink and a good place to live?
In September and October, when the sika deer is in estrus, Gu Zhaocheng will consider letting the female deer into the herd.
Of course, it is not ruled out that when this deer reaches its estrus period, it can attract stags to come to your door automatically.
Gu Zhaocheng didn't mind raising one more.
After all, Gu Zhaocheng thought it was a bit troublesome, and the conditions were not yet mature.
But if it's just one, it's not a big problem.
Things that eat branches and leaves are too easy to survive in this forest.
For Gu Zhaocheng, raising this thing is easier than raising two dogs.
Dogs can't survive by eating leaves, but local dogs are easy to feed. Just give dogs whatever humans eat.
But you also need to eat food.
Although corn, rice and potatoes are not expensive.
But this is not something that will naturally grow in the forest.
And if he wants to raise his dog well, he can't just eat vegetarian food. He also needs to eat some meat and some bones to chew on if it's okay. Gu Zhaocheng needs to purchase these from outside.
You can't train these dogs to hunt freely in the woods and watch and steal.
