"Bao, you're here..."

Hearing the sound of the car engine outside the door, a thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man ran out of the house. When he saw Abao, he shouted happily, stepped forward and hugged Abao tightly.

"Aming, this is Boss Zhao and Boss Man, this is Fang Yi, both of them are guests I brought this time..."

When he met his old friend, Abao was also very happy. Although he often went to the mountains to receive goods, he usually had to go to more than a dozen Miao villages, but he didn't come to Aming for a month or two.

"Boss Zhao, this one is Aming, his surname is Yang, just call Aming..."

After introducing Zhao Hongtao and others, Abao introduced Aming to them. Although the Miao people have their own language, they do not have their own writing. Due to the continuous integration with the Han people, the Miao people now basically use the Han surname, and the same is true for the Aming family.

"Come on, come on, everyone, the place is simple and inconvenient to the hospitality..."

After the introduction, Amin moved out two long benches and asked everyone to sit down in front of his house. This was because the house was not very big, so many people sat in it far from being cooler and more spacious outside.

"Bao, Boss Zhao, you guys sit down, I'll pick some star fruit for you first..."

Most of the villages in Miao Village are built along the mountain, so the Aming family is no exception. Their family was originally built on a gentle ground on a hillside, and there was a forest of star fruits. This was when the star fruits were borne, and the trees were full of mature star fruits.

"Abao, don't they sell the star fruits in their house?"

Seeing a lot of ripe star fruits falling from the ground, Zhao Hongtao couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw that the free-range chickens from Aming's family were falling, he said that the star fruit could be sold for several dollars per pound outside.

"Boss Zhao, the star fruits in the mountains are not valuable, and they are not valuable when they go to the county..."

After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Abao smiled and said, "These star fruits cost a lot of money just by transporting them out, and they can't sell at any price on the island. It's not enough to make a fortune after going back and forth. So they all kept them for food and rarely took out..."

After hearing what Abao said, Zhao Hongtao immediately understood that he was a little taken for granted. Yang Tao could be sold for several dollars per kilogram in Jinling, but it was a worthless fruit in Qiongsheng, and these Miao people didn't care at all.

“It’s really quick…”

Seeing Aming climbing up the star peach tree barefoot, Man Jun grinned. He and Fang Yi had seen a coconut tree climbing performance with him in a tourist area in Qiong Province a few days ago. But compared to this, the man's speed was much slower than Aming.

"They are the masters of this mountain..."

Abao nodded and said, "There is no place on this mountain that they can't go. Even if the Ganoderma lucidum or yellow rosewood trees grow on the cliffs, they have a way to pick or cut them back. They can go up where the monkeys can go. However, because of this, the wild yellow rosewood on this mountain has almost been cut off by them..."

Huanghuali has been a precious tree material since ancient times. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was loved by the royal family and became the main material for royal furniture, so it never stopped cutting. After the 1990s, the increase in the value of Huanghuali furniture made this cutting more and more intensified.

For example, some people in Miaoli Village, when they had no money, would go around the mountain to find a few yellow flower trees of the previous year, cut them down and sell them to merchants, but the Miao people would save money after selling them. The Li people would eat them that day by buying wine and meat.

Over time, fewer and fewer wild yellow rosewood trees on the mountain. The more visionary Miao people usually transplant the small yellow rosewood trees to their own yards at the foot of the mountain. For example, around Aming's house, there are five or six yellow rosewood trees that have been growing for more than 20 years.

"Bao, was the tree we came to bet on this time transplanted by Amin himself?" Zhao Hongtao really didn't know much about the current situation of the Huanghuali tree. He asked immediately: "The transplanted Huanghuali tree will not be different from the wild ones, right?"

"Boss Zhao, you don't know much about the growth environment of Huanghuali tree..."

Abao laughed and said, "The vitality of the Huanghuali tree is very tenacious. The harshest place in the environment, the thicker the grid in the Huanghuali tree will be. Do you know that there is a stone mountain behind this mountain, and the Huanghuali growing there is the best in this area. When I go back, I will take you around. There is also a natural cave there..."

Although Huanghuali trees are all over Qiongdao, in terms of quality, in addition to the Huanghuali around the crater in Haikou, there are the places where Zhao Hongtao and the others are. Of course, the Huanghuali trees on the stone mountain mentioned by Abao have long been cut down.

"Come on, Boss Zhao, Boss Man, please try the fruits in our mountains..."

While the few people were chatting, Abao had already picked a large bag of star fruit from the tree. After cleaning the water pipe led down from the mountain spring, he brought it over and said with a smile: "There is nothing to entertain everyone in the mountains. This fruit has not been used in pesticides. It is very fresh. Everyone tastes..."

Miao people have always been very enthusiastic about their friends. Abao's words also made Zhao Hongtao, who was originally a little nervous, relaxed. He took a fist-sized star fruit and took a bite. He immediately nodded repeatedly. The wild star fruit was juicy and sweet, which was very different from what Zhao Hongtao had eaten before.

"It's better to be in the mountains..."

Fang Yi also took a star fruit and ate it. After coming to the village in the mountains, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. You know, not long ago, Fang Yi lived this kind of almost isolated life.

"Well, the people in the mountains are simple and easy to get along with. Now that the electricity is turned on and the road is repaired, we are unwilling to go out..."

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Aming nodded. He went to Shenzhen and other places for a while to work, but he was always unable to adapt to the outside environment. He returned to the mountains more than a year later, and Aming never went out again since then.

However, Amin's life is also good now. He bought a car last year with the Ganoderma lucidum and red vine fruits he picked every year, which is considered a wealthy Miao people. According to Amin's plan, he is also planning to buy a small truck this year, so that he can deliver goods to the mountains more conveniently.

"Aming, I wonder if we can see the trees we are going to bet on?" After eating a few star fruits, Zhao Hongtao brought the topic to his purpose today. He took a car for more than an hour and vomited two or three times. He just came to bet on the trees.

"Abao, Boss Zhao. I'm ready for Huanghuali Tree, but a boss called me and I'm going to see the tree today and prepare to bet, so I have to wait a little longer..."

When he heard Zhao Hongtao's words, Aming said apologetically, the Li people in the mountains who are relatively lazy and lazy, and the Miao people are undoubtedly very smart in doing business. When he received a call from Abao, he contacted several customers outside the mountain and made an appointment to bet on the tree today.

"It's okay, wait until they get together..."

Although Zhao Hongtao felt a little depressed, he nodded and agreed. The merchant was pursuing profits, and Amin did this. However, the cost of coming to the gambling tree this time will probably increase a little.

"Abao, I have picked a lot of Ganoderma lucidum kings during this period. Do you want to take a look?"

There were people waiting around, so Amin simply took out a sack from the house, poured the things inside to the ground, and said, "The Ganoderma lucidum king is only in this season. I have picked more than fifty kilograms. Look at what it is. If you collect, give you the cheapest price. If it is not enough, I will go to the mountain to find some..."

The business that Ah Ming and Abao cooperated with is not just Huanghuali, but as long as it is something that can be sold at a price in the mountains, Ah Bao bought everything. So after seeing Ah Ming take out Ganoderma lucidum, he didn't bother to talk to Zhao Hongtao and others, and squatted on the ground and started to pick it up.

"Well? The quality of these Ganoderma lucidum is good..." Fang Yi was also interested when he saw Ganoderma lucidum on the ground. Ganoderma lucidum is also produced in Fangshan, but because of the climate and environment, the medicinal properties of Ganoderma lucidum there are far less than those in front of him.

"Brother Zhao. Brother Man, you can buy some of these Ganoderma lucidums, grind them into powder and brew them with boiling water and drink a cup every day, which can improve your body's immunity. You middle-aged people can use them..." Fang Yi could naturally see the good or bad things at a glance, and turned to Zhao Hongtao and Man Jun.

"Go, you are middle-aged. Brother Man, I am still young. Bao, don't know how to sell these Ganoderma lucidum?"

Manjun joked with Fang Yi, but his heart was moved. In recent years, he really felt that his physical fitness was not as good as before, especially if he had a cold or fever, he would have to take a lot of days. Manjun knew that this was a sign of a decrease in immunity.

Man Jun was very disciplined in doing things. He did not directly ask Amin, the owner of Ganoderma lucidum, but asked Abao because they were brought by Abao. He bypassed Abao and bought it directly from Amin. The matter was a bit unauthorized.

"Brother Man, I'm buying 601 pounds from Amin. I'll count this price for you..." Man Jun's way of doing things made Abao feel very comfortable. He didn't plan to eat the difference from it at the moment, so he directly reported Amin's reserve price.

"Six hundred and one pound, I want three pounds..." Man Jun thought for a moment, asked for three pounds. After grinding this thing into powder, it only took a little bit at a time. Three pounds were enough for him to drink for two years.

"Bao, give me ten kilograms. I'll give me some to my friend when I go back..." Zhao Hongtao's handwriting was much larger than that of Manjun. He asked for ten kilograms when he opened his mouth. He knew that these Ganoderma lucidum looked black and inconspicuous, but they were all good things, and they could definitely give it to others.

"Brother Bao, I want four pounds too..." What Zhao Hongtao and Man Jun did not expect was that Fang Yi actually spoke, logically speaking, with his age, he didn't need this thing.

"Fang Yi, why are you buying this?" Zhao Hongtao asked in confusion.

"Brother Zhao, I don't want it myself. I'm giving it to the two teachers..." Fang Yi scratched his head. Ganoderma lucidum is very beneficial to the weak elderly. As soon as he saw this thing, Fang Yi became more thoughtful to the teacher.

"Okay, then you can sell two kilograms. I originally planned to give the teacher two kilograms, let's go together..." Zhao Hongtao was a little surprised when he heard Fang Yi's words. He remembered his teacher Sun Lianda, but he forgot that Fang Yi had another teacher Yu.
