The 1990s was the most difficult period for Northeast Forest District . At that time, wood was not very valuable and the Forestry Bureau could not even pay wages.
So, in spring and summer, people went up the mountain to pick bracken to fill in their home use. This elder sister is also one of the army of bracken picking. However, the elder sister also found many helpers and hired 8 fellow villagers in the countryside.
These employees only work hard to pick vegetables up in the mountains, and sell them to their employers according to their pounds when they come back, so that their employers can earn some commission money. However, you are not that easy to be a landlord.
You need to provide a place for fellow villagers to eat, drink and live. Responsible for finding the ravine with bracken. Because bracken will not grow on flat ground.
The eldest sister hired another four-wheel tractor on the rice, flour, grain and oil credit at the grain and oil store, and the group rushed to Humeng. (We are Xing'an League here). Because the bracken there is thicker than ours (which means more). So many of us are going to Humeng to pick bracken.
They walked all day and found a place to set up camp. Set up a tent, the case of the cool bracken. Everything went step by step and it went very smoothly. The bracken needs to be fried in boiling water. It was placed on the case made of the screen window and dried into bracken . Then the bracken is brought back and sold to old customers.
At that time, most of the people who came to collect bracken were Koreans, and Koreans and 2 people especially loved bracken. It is said that in South Korea, one pound of dried fern was more than 80 yuan per pound, and the purchase price here can also reach twenty yuan.
During the day, the workers went up the mountain to dig vegetables. The elder sister cooked and dried ferns. The workers had to go up the mountain twice a day, once in the morning, and once in the afternoon after lunch. There are still chives not far from the station. My elder sister picks the leek boxes for her fellow villagers when she has free time. The workers ate well and slept soundly and were full of energy.
My elder sister is also busy all day long, and she has accumulated 300 kilograms of dried bracken. The eldest sister happily considered how much money she could make, and she became more and more motivated.
One day, everyone went up the mountain to pick bracken, and the elder sister was left alone at home to dry bracken. At this time, a group of people came and drove a pickup truck. There was a law enforcement sign on the car. When they got off the car, they questioned her: "Who asked you to pick bracken here? Have you paid the tax?"
The elder sister was frightened by this group of people. Keep talking to them. But this group of people insisted on the elder sister paying taxes, and the elder sister said, "I will pay taxes when I sell the bracken."
But this group of people ignored it and wanted to pay the bracken to pay the tax. The eldest sister knelt down for them and begged hard, but she couldn't stop them.
These people loaded more than 300 kilograms of bracken into the car and left.
When the big guy came back from picking bracken, he saw the elder sister crying and wiped her tears. When he asked this, he said, "I must have encountered a robber."
The big guy kept comforting the elder sister, don't get angry, and said we should pick more bracken to make up for the losses.
But bracken is a wild vegetable with very strong seasonality, and it will not be much in a few days. Not much was picked up until then.
The eldest sister is a kind person. Although she suffered losses, she is unwilling to treat her fellow villagers badly. She should give her fellow villagers a lot of money.
Wait until the villagers were sent away, and after settled the score with their lover, they did not make any money and lost 3,000 yuan. The money for rice, flour, grain and oil owed in credit at the grain and oil store was paid off in several years.
At that time, forest area people rarely experienced the right and wrong outside. Some people even dealt with big wood all their lives, had little contact with the outside world, and had no experience in interpersonal communication. Bracken was the only bond at that time. It is inevitable to be deceived. Not only this elder sister has encountered such a thing, but many people have been deceived in the bracken trade.
One year, a man sold ferns for 8,000 yuan, and later found out that they were all fake coins. At that time, 8,000 yuan was an astronomical figure. You should know that picking ferns also requires investment. After working hard for a season, he made wedding dresses for the scammers, worked for others for free, and paid for money by himself. That kind of mood was beyond words.
This person became angry when he was anxious and even lost confidence in life and committed suicide by hanging himself.
At that time, there was no mobile phone or surveillance, and it was easy for scammers to get out.
Forest District is simple and honest, and has never seen the world, and it is easy for scammers to succeed.
has also been tempered. People in the forest have seen the world. Through the bracken business, people know that the world is dangerous and people’s hearts are unpredictable. People no longer trust anyone casually.
Later, people went up the mountain to pick bracken and brought dogs with them. The dogs were loyal, especially in the wild, and it was difficult for strangers to get close to. With Dog'er guarding the house, things like my elder sister never happened again. Not only is it a woman's highlight, but people also learn to identify counterfeit coins. The people in the forest area have also become smart and capable.
