Chapter 152 Tea Tree
When the production team gathered in the morning, several cadres in the village began to emphasize discipline with serious faces.
The morning meeting also lasted longer than usual, especially after what happened yesterday, we talked about it at length, so that everyone could remember this lesson and never steal.
By the time the morning meeting was over, it was already an hour later.
Because of this meeting, everyone was not in a good state when they went to work. Even several villagers in the mushroom group were affected.
Zhou Ziwen also understood them very well and did not arrange any unnecessary things, just let them work as usual.
After arranging today’s work, Zhou Ziwen started fishing again.
He was going to try his luck in the mountains to see if he could catch prey.
In the past few days, there has been no meat at home, and he is a little tired of just eating fish.
He has also been to the mountains several times during this period, but his luck was not very good. Except for some wild vegetables, he did not see a hair on the game.
Of course, it was not that he had gained nothing. At least he was familiar with the environment on the inner edge, and he knew where there were good things.
For example, he knows exactly where honey, mushrooms, and fungus grow.
However, Zhou Ziwen likes long-flowing water, such as honey, and he will not pick it until the stock at home is used up.
The same goes for things like mushrooms and fungus. He picked all the mature ones, and the rest have not grown up yet.
Zhou Ziwen plans to pick them when they grow up. Anyway, there are relatively few people coming back to the mountains and forests. These are his wealth.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if someone else picks it. This forest is full of resources.
Back home, Zhou Ziwen took an ax and a backpack and headed straight into the mountains and forests.
The outskirts of the mountain forest are no longer attractive to him. With his strength, as long as he is careful, there is no problem in operating in the inner periphery.
Of course, you must not go too deep. There are some places in the inner circle that even native villagers are not willing to enter.
I heard that there used to be a very powerful hunter in the village, who not only penetrated deep into the inner area, but even entered the core area where almost no one has ever set foot.
Arriving inside the mountain forest, Zhou Ziwen headed straight for an unexplored area. Once here, he began to be careful.
Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and don't be careless just because of your own strength.
He didn’t want to suffer an accident because of his own negligence.
Holding the ax in his hand, Zhou Ziwen carefully began to explore.
Having been in the mountains so many times, he has some experience with the situation in the mountains. He basically knows where good things tend to appear and where they don’t.
He thought about going to a bookstore one day to see if he could find a book specifically about hunters. Maybe books could help him acquire hunting skills.
After all, only professional hunters are the ones most familiar with the mountains and forests. If he can acquire skills in this area, he will really have no shortage of meat to eat.
Along the way, Zhou Ziwen came across some delicious wild vegetables and fruits, and picked them easily, as well as some dead trees. He also noted the locations and cut them down when he had time. go back.
His main purpose today is to catch wild game, and everything else is secondary.
Unknowingly, Zhou Ziwen walked farther and farther, and met a pheasant on the road. However, this thing had sharp eyes and spotted him from a distance. It spread its wings and flew away with a flutter.
Zhou Ziwen could only stare. At this moment, he really wanted to have a bow and arrow. If he had an arrow, no matter whether it could fly or not, he could just shoot him to death with one arrow.
It seems that we need to develop a hunting skill as soon as possible. Just using an ax is still too unprofessional.
Soon, Zhou Ziwen climbed to the top of Niutou Mountain. This mountain range is endless. Niutou Mountain is just a small corner. There is another mountain behind this mountain, and behind the other mountain And mountains.
The people in Dabazi Village have only been to the mountain behind Niutou Mountain at most.
After reaching the top of the mountain, Zhou Ziwen was a little unwilling. He had not eaten meat for several days and was tired of eating only fish. I looked at the time, it was exactly ten in the morning. He thought for a while and decided to walk a little further back.
This time, he was more careful. On the other side of Niutoushan, there were few people and the surrounding trees and grass were denser. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought he was in a primeval forest.
Wolfberry, tea tree...
In just a moment, he discovered many valuable things.
Especially the Camellia oleifera tree. He had only heard of it before, but this was the first time he saw it today.
If he hadn't read about it in medical books, he wouldn't have recognized it even if it was presented to Zhou Ziwen.
Thanks to the hang-up panel, although he has never seen it with his own eyes, through the hang-up, the knowledge in the book has been firmly remembered in his mind. After seeing the real thing, he recognized it at the first sight.
Forget about the wolfberry, he had found it before and picked some and put them back.
But the Camellia oleifera tree is different. Its fruits can be made into Camellia oleifera oil, which has very high nutritional value.
Camellia oleifera oil is called "Oriental Olive Oil".
It is said that it contains a physiologically active ingredient squalene, which has good oxygen-enriching ability, can resist hypoxia and fatigue, and has the function of improving human immunity and enhancing the gastrointestinal tract.
Long-term consumption of Camellia oleifera oil can effectively reduce the incidence of breast cancer, colon cancer, rectal cancer and other cancers.
Camellia oleifera oil is known as the finest among edible vegetable oils.
Zhou Ziwen knows a relatively old-fashioned method of oil extraction.
That is to dry the tea seeds, then crush them, stir-fry them in a pot, then put them in a steamer to steam them, then put them into a container and hit them hard, like a monk hitting a bell, and the oil will come out .
Seeing such a precious thing, Zhou Ziwen didn't leave and started picking directly.
He picked the ripe Camellia oleifera fruits one by one until the basket was full and there were still many fruits on the tree.
“I can’t finish picking it all, I can’t finish it at all!” Zhou Ziwen grinned with a bright smile on his face.
He knew that the more uninhabited the place, the more good things there were.
No, this is the first mountain. He found such good things as camellia oil.
"Go back first and bring a few more sacks." Zhou Ziwen picked up the basket and turned to go home.
Now that he has found these good things, he must take them all back. These things are rare and he does not want to leave them to others.
Besides, the oil at home is almost finished, so pressing the oil yourself will make it more delicious.
After spending more than half an hour, Zhou Ziwen returned to his yard.
It was still early and the Chen sisters had not returned home yet. Zhou Ziwen took a short rest and simply went to the mushroom house.
He wanted to prepare the meal in advance, but he didn't have the key to the Chen sisters' house.
I had no choice but to go to the mushroom house and finish work with them.
"Brother Ziwen, why are you here?" Chen Qiaoyi was a little happy to see Zhou Ziwen arriving.
"Haha, I am the leader of the mushroom team. I will definitely check the progress of the mushrooms at any time. I also come to see if you are lazy." Zhou Ziwen said with a smile.
“Haha!” Chen Qiaoyi curled her lips with a look of disbelief.
She knew all about Zhou Ziwen's temperament.
