In some rural areas in the southern region, there was once a kind of work, and the peasants enjoyed it, why? Because it is very profitable to do this work, some farmers rely on it to build buildings in just a few years and live a good life. However, this work is not something that ordinary people can do, because it is more difficult, and if you can't stand the pain, it is also more difficult to earn. What live? Keep reading and you'll see. (Subscription: Old Three Kan Three Farmers, Understand the World Three Farmers)
Cut rosin
This life is called cutting rosin in our local area, and there are also places called gouge rosin and pine resin, that is, the oil of cutting pine trees. In some rural areas in the southern region, mountain resources are relatively rich, most of the mountains grow some pine forests, when the temperature rises, generally at the end of April and the beginning of May every year, people begin to peel the pine skin, mining cuts.
The earliest was to use a rubber cup or porcelain cup to hold pine resin
Later, it was served in plastic film
Because the higher the temperature, the richer the rosin, but the high temperature is very hard to work, so many farmers who cut rosin will get up and go into the mountains before the day is fully bright, and some even take dry sugar or porridge to finish the work at once. They usually take advantage of the sun to cut the pine trees before the sun rises, and when the sun comes out and the temperature rises, the pine resin flows particularly vigorously.
At that time, women were also the backbone of cutting pine resin
Pine resin harvested, a full bag
At the end of the day, my hands were covered with pine resin
Pine resin purchase price at the peak of 7 to 8 pieces / catty, some of the family cutting thousands of pine trees, often a month down, you can pick and scrape once (that is, the pine resin is collected back to sell), a harvest can harvest seven or eight thousand yuan, which was in the countryside at that time, but a lot of income. From harvesting in May to the end of September, after 5 months, you can earn 40,000 or 50,000 yuan. Some people who cut more trees can also earn more. At that time, many rural children's tuition fees were paid by the money from the sale of rosin.
Pine resin trading
Remember before there was not much plastic film, the utensils containing rosin are porcelain cups or rubber cups, every time cutting rosin is very laborious, you have to use a small shovel to insert it, the lump of pine resin pry up, over time, the hand is easy to bubble, have the same experience of friends? Later, when there is more film, the container becomes a film bag, and it is much easier to collect, and it is easy to gently hold up the loose pieces that form a triangle.
The high price of pine resin often leads to theft
Forestry police remove illegal fat collection
While plastic film brings convenience, it is to trigger theft incidents, because rosin prices were ideal at that time, there were often cases of rosin theft. At the same time, due to the high price of rosin, many pine trees that do not meet the harvesting conditions have been cut, resulting in some pine trees not growing normally, and these behaviors have become the target of forestry public security crackdowns.
Friends in the countryside, especially in the southern regions, such as rural friends in Guangxi, Yunnan, Guangdong, Fujian and other places, I believe that many people have experienced the work of cutting pine resin. Because the higher the temperature, the more pine resin the pine tree produces, so I believe that friends who have done this work have also sweated a lot. However, because the pine resin comes to money quickly, we don't care about this hard work. People say yes? Do you agree with the above remarks? What are your stories of harvesting rosin?
