MTL - My 1995 Small Farm-v2 Chapter 409 One hero and three gangs
Chapter 409 One hero and three helpers
After two days of busy work, I finished watering the wheat fields.
On the third morning, after the three members of Chen Ling's family had breakfast, they took two large baskets of apricots, drove the ox cart and led the dog to the county seat.
After arriving at the county seat, half baskets were left for Qin Qiumei and Zhong Xiaoyun.
Declined the invitation of the two families to have lunch at noon, and continued to rush to Huangni Town through the small road from the forest farm in the east of the city.
The road southward from the county seat to Huangni Town is under construction.
The road there has been potholed for many years, making it extremely difficult to walk.
The county has been talking about building roads for several years, but there has been no movement.
Now that the road is going to be built, let's start over there first.
This will not affect the coming in and out of the aquatic product trucks at Chenwangzhuang, as well as the holding of the Dragon Boat Festival during the Dragon Boat Festival.
According to what Wang Laishun told Chen Ling, he didn't find anyone, and he didn't tell anyone about it. However, some people from the county came to the brigade to look for him and asked him if there were any difficulties in the village recently.
There is no need to remind, and the greatest convenience is left to Chen Wangzhuang.
It can be said that they have taken good care of their village.
Today's weather is still a little hot, Chen Ling and Wang Susu both put on thin summer shirts, the little baby Ruirui is still wearing a little thicker, with long sleeves and a small hat, crawling on the ox cart climb up.
Fortunately, I passed by the forest farm. The trees are tall and the grass is dense. The road is full of shade and it is very cool.
Therefore, although Huangni Town is not close, the road for a family of three is still very comfortable.
Rui Rui is a little kid, and she doesn't know anything about visiting relatives and friends.
It was completely regarded as an outing for his parents to accompany him to play.
Laughing and joking along the way, directing the black baby Xiaojin to run back and forth to chase some birds and small animals in the woods and by the river.
Often when he pointed his little finger, the two dogs would gallop out together, blowing up a large group of birds, or frightening some small animals such as foxes and hares to flee in panic.
He rolled back and forth on the laps of Chen Ling and Wang Susu, giggling and making noise.
The two dogs are full of energy and have endless strength.
Otherwise, I can't bear to play with him like this.
"A Ling, did you find out? There are more cattle raised here in the county this year. I guess they must have learned from our family."
On the way, Wang Susu was also observing carefully.
Although the county seat of Lingyun is not big, there are still many small villages around the suburbs.
For example, "Liangjiaqiao Village" south of the Nansha River is named after a bridge on the Nansha River and the surnames of the local people, and there are only twenty or thirty families.
Although the population is small, there are also some small plots of farmland outside the city, most of which are engaged in farming and raising poultry and livestock for a living.
Raising cattle is normal.
However, it is not normal for the number of people raising cattle to increase so much at once.
Many of them were taken to the forest farm to graze cattle, which was very lively.
Wang Susu saw this scene, and knew that she probably learned it from her family.
"Huh? How can you still know about our village from such a distance?"
Chen Ling held his son on his lap and played with the dog, then casually replied to his wife.
Seeing his carelessness, Wang Susu pursed her mouth, stretched out her hand and pinched him: "Did you forget again, how famous you are now, everyone in our county knows about you, besides, there are many in our village People who have relatives near the county seat, if they talk about it outside, they will know about our family..."
Having said that, the little daughter-in-law didn't mean to be angry, but a little proud and proud.
After twisting Chen Ling, he leaned against him, swinging his calf, feeling very happy.
"You say so, it is really possible."
Chen Ling felt the warmth of his daughter-in-law against his body, and his son was happily rolling and playing on his lap, thinking that this was unintentional.
The local cattle can be raised on a large scale, and he is happy to see it.
After all, in later generations, this kind of cattle has long been squeezed by beef cattle and has no living space. It has almost disappeared, and no one is raising it anymore.
"This is a good thing, let me tell you about the benefits of our beef here."
Chen Ling told the story of the local sacred cattle, and how better the yellow beef was compared to those beef cattle outside.
He was talking, and Wang Susu leaned on his shoulder and listened quietly.
After a while, he gently closed his eyes, hugged Ruirui who was tired from playing, and took a comfortable nap.
The dirt road in the forest farm is winding and bumpy. With the wisdom of the little white cow, he will consider the pregnant women and babies in the car without being reminded.
So it deliberately walked very slowly, so that the bullock cart would be much more stable.
But also more time-consuming.
Usually, Chen Ling could reach Huangni Town in about an hour and a half by bicycle.
Today, I walked for nearly three hours.
Fortunately, I left home early and didn't delay much in the county seat. It was just after eleven o'clock when Han Chuang's house in Wai Huangni Town arrived.
Han Chuang was pleasantly surprised when he saw that Chen Ling had arrived.
"Wahhaha, why are you here, Ling Zi, and you didn't say anything in advance, so I'm ready to order good wine and food."
Jiang Xiaoqing became pregnant years ago, and now she is raising her baby at home with her big belly.
The two of them don't go out very much and are often at home.
After a long time, he also felt that no one was playing, and it was very boring.
Today when Chen Ling came over, he almost jumped up and down with joy, and hurriedly called Jiang Xiaoqing to come out to receive Wang Susu and his wife.
After pushing the motorcycle out by himself, he was about to take Chen Ling to the town to buy some snacks.
Seeing him so happy, Chen Ling didn't refuse, and the two hurriedly went to the town to buy a bunch of things.
On the way, I chatted with Chen Ling about the torment of being with my daughter-in-law to raise a baby at home during this period of time, and there was a lot of helplessness amidst the excitement.
Chen Ling laughed after hearing this: "You are only here now, and when you have a baby, you will know what real suffering is."
Two people, a dad and a dad-to-be, exchanged feelings.
Backing home on a motorcycle, Wang Susu and Jiang Xiaoqing washed some apricots, and played with Ruirui while eating. Hearing their conversation, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"It's different when you're married and have a baby. The two of them used to talk about letting dogs and rabbits go, but now they're finally talking about serious things."
"Yeah, Brother Ling is pretty good. When you were pregnant with Ruirui, he bought you sheep and let you drink goat milk. Delay in earning money, let’s forget about my Chuangzi, who can’t do anything, just boil some goat’s milk, let alone earning money..."
When it comes to having children, not to mention men will change, women's thinking will also be very different from before.
It is the nature of most people to think about their children.
Let children have a good growth environment and receive a good education, who would not want it?
The premise is to save more money.
Chen Ling, who was working in the kitchen with Han Chuang, heard their mutterings, and said to Han Chuang, "Chuangzi, have you heard about our village?"
"What's the matter? Are you raising cattle? I heard that raising cattle will make you rich this year!"
"Good guy, the news about the cow has reached your side? But it's not about raising cattle, it's about raising fish."
"Since the turtle king came out of the reservoir outside the village, many business people have come to our village. Now every household in our village has ponds to raise ornamental fish. Ornamental fish, you know, are the ones you gave me the year before last. They belong to ornamental fish. , and some red and yellow goldfish, fancy koi..."
"That guy, you can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars by raising fish for two months in an unremarkable pond. Your yard is so big, and it's also your farmland outside, and it's next to the forest farm in Tubaoling. It's so good. It’s much easier and less troublesome to set up a slightly larger pond to raise fish than to farm and work.”
Han Chuang opened his mouth wide when he heard this, almost cut the meat into his hands, and stammered: "Raise, raise, raise fish, can this really work?"
"Okay, why not, there are people from the provincial capital to buy, and our village has already sold out a batch."
Chen Ling lit a fire in front of the stove, raised his head and smiled: "If you want to raise it, you can take the time to visit our village. When the time comes, we will build a pond and buy fish fry. I will make some potion for you and mix it with feed. Sprinkle it twice in the pond, keep your fish beautiful and sell them at a good price."
Han Chuang knew that he used to be high-spirited and didn't want to spend his whole life farming in a ravine. When he knew that he couldn't enter the sand mining field, he asked him to go to his own cannery several times, and even said he would arrange a leisure time for him. work, let him do it first.
Naturally, Chen Ling would not forget this.
Besides, the friendship between the two families is getting deeper now, knowing that he and Jiang Xiaoqing are both honest people, so there is no miscellaneous thoughts.
So with this profitable business, I am naturally willing to bring him along.
Furthermore, with one hero and three gangs, Chen Ling trusted Han Chuang more than he trusted Little Sheep.
If you can make your own people make money, why let others do it.
"This, this, this matter, you said Ling Zi, I'm sure I believe it, even my brother's factory also raises a pond of fish."
Han Chuang scratched his head and frowned: "These fish only produce roe once a year, so if you do the math, you will only sell two batches of fish this year. It is impossible to sell one batch every two months as you said. .”
"Haha, it's not easy, after selling out, buy fry again.
Besides, there are not many good times this year. Is it possible to raise and sell fish all year round? So I asked you to make the pond bigger from the beginning, even if you only sell two or three batches a year, you can still make a lot of money. "
Many people in the village also asked Chen Ling this way, and Chen Ling said the same thing, but the village guarded the reservoir and guarded the magical big turtle, which had a great advantage over Han Chuang.
Now Tian Hongli and Sun Yanhong are targeting other aquatic products.
Even if you don’t raise ornamental fish, it’s okay to raise some other fish.
It still belongs to Chenwangzhuang.
It is more trouble-free than ornamental fish.
Ornamental fish also depends on their appearance, while the requirements for other aquatic products are not so strict.
"Okay, I'll listen, listen to Ling Zi, dig a pond and raise some fish, anyway, my brother raises fish, just for a scene."
Han Chuang had the feeling that he and Chen Ling were about to start a career together, so he was very excited and stammered endlessly.
Then he ran out excitedly to tell Jiang Xiaoqing the news.
Jiang Xiaoqing was very pleasantly surprised.
She would most like to see Han Chuang do something like Chen Ling.
The two young couples are both young people, and naturally they will not hide things when they talk about things.
During the meal, he told Han Chuang at the dinner table that if his father-in-law and mother-in-law refused to agree, he would also support him with money from his natal family.
Han Chuang kept smirking, and only said that he would ride a motorcycle to find Chen Ling tomorrow to see fish.
…
Just in time, Tian Hongli and Sun Yanhong rushed over again the next day.
Sun Yanhong came to fish for crayfish. As soon as she arrived at the entrance of the village, she yelled, no matter adults or children, if she touched a big bamboo basket, she would give her five yuan.
For taking away a cart of crayfish, I will give the brigade 200 yuan. This is the money of the village collective. Wang Laishun has agreed in advance that he will distribute the money to the villagers at the end of the year when he saves too much. How much do you get?
Not even a few cents, it's too shabby.
The villagers had no objection to this. After all, Sun Yanhong gave cash to fish for shrimps here, and they all rushed to the reservoir to fish for shrimps.
Men, women, young and old were touching the crayfish enthusiastically, but no one responded to Tian Hongli, so this round-headed and smart man couldn't say anything.
He is here to transport aquatic products, and a load of them is worth more than crayfish.
You can't do it like Sun Yanhong.
Can only stare aside, anxiously turning around.
He is in a hurry.
Pull back early and make money early.
In the past few days, he went to many high-end restaurants and successfully disposed of the fish in Chen Ling's house.
While receiving unanimous praise, I also know very well how much profit there is.
I want to take advantage of the time when those restaurants haven't digested the aquatic products of Chen Ling's family.
Come and bring back these second-class fish and sell them to ordinary people and ordinary restaurants.
The abacus was crackling, and when I got here, I could only stare blankly in this situation.
Actually, more people are more powerful, and Sun Yanhong's aquatic product truck was quickly filled with crayfish.
Waiting time is not long.
The key is that when so many people make a fuss, all the fish in the water run away.
It would take a long time to fill up his car.
Seeing Sun Yanhong driving away triumphantly, Tian Hongli scolded her mother-in-law, this woman is really bad.
He hurriedly called for people to push the boat into the water and set up a net to catch fish.
Then he lifted the five-hundred-jin scale from the car.
Calculate the money for the brigade according to the catty.
In a short time, more than a dozen ships on the reservoir were dispatched together.
On each boat, there are experienced old people leading the young and strong, shouting chant, and fishing in the reservoir with great enthusiasm.
Fill two baskets, row the boat to the shore, and lift it to the large scale on the shore.
Two or three baskets swing up and down, and start weighing.
After passing the scale, report the weight in catties.
Beside there are people from the brigade holding a notebook to count the numbers, and someone from Tian Hongli's side is also doing it.
As the villagers continued to carry baskets of fish ashore.
Fishing, carrying fish, weighing, counting...there is a lively scene on the dam at the entrance of the village.
This is what Han Chuang saw when he came to the village.
It wasn't long before he didn't come to Chenwangzhuang, and the situation in the village seemed to have changed so much that he didn't even dare to recognize it.
Chen Ling also talked to him about aquatic products yesterday.
He knew that he could not learn from other places because of the influence of the big turtle in the reservoir.
didn't care too much.
But when he came here today, he realized that it was quite different from what he thought.
Look how hot the reservoir is, it's even busier than when the factory was first opened in Huangni Town.
When he arrived at Chen Ling's house, Chen Ling took him to look at the ornamental fish in the pond outside the farm. He still couldn't forget the scene of the reservoir.
Chen Ling had no choice but to take him to join in the fun again.
When the two of them came back at noon, Han Chuang didn't know which tendon was wrong. He hung his head and said nothing for a long time, and then suddenly shouted in the middle of the road: "Lingzi, you, you, you said that we should use the help of Lord Turtle." Light, make some canned fish, can, can you make money?"
