Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One-Chapter 587 - 75: Can manure be poured in the yard?_3
Affect the appetite.
In this era, getting involved in missiles and nuclear weapons isn’t our turn.
But the market in Beijing is now relaxed, and Chen Changhai has been developing for years. Can we get some materials for her to build a few air conditioners and give it a try?
Oh, right, there also needs to be a freezer, otherwise how can meat be stored with just a cellar?
Sometimes she also wants to eat something fresh!
...
Just like Chen Changhai said, it’s indeed much more prosperous here.
Even though it’s just a village town, it doesn’t seem any less than the urban area of Ning City.
The goods at the supply and marketing cooperative aren’t much worse than those at the department store in Ning City. Daya and Gu Ping slowly pushed the cart and quickly rushed back too.
She’s an impatient person and doesn’t want to waste a minute or a second in daily life. Even though the weather is still very hot now, since whether you move or not, you’re going to sweat, she might as well drag those fabrics bought back into the room.
Not to mention much, let’s cut the bedsheets tonight first.
It’s hot now, so the sheets only need to be hemmed. Wash them and when they dry at night, they can be used as covers.
As for the bamboo mats just bought back...
Yun Baoni is wiping them one by one by the sink.
Daya watched the faucet for a while, extremely delighted: "We can finally use it."
Before in Ning City, because Uncle hadn’t returned, they didn’t dare to splurge, didn’t even install faucets and electric lights even when they had the money, fearing they’d be targeted by ill-intentioned people.
Yun Baoni was also happy: "It’s so convenient for washing clothes!"
Gu An and Little Xuan weren’t organizing things anymore, instead, they were holding shovels and spades, mixing cement with Shi Suifeng.
——No wonder Chen Changhai’s business is getting bigger and bigger. Nowadays bricks and cement can still be acquired, showing that connections are indeed needed.
Looking at how this house is organized, even Chu River couldn’t find any fault with it——
In this era, what could be arranged has indeed been arranged.
Moreover, he is meticulous, and the house is neatly organized, with some materials separately left in the backyard shed.
Shi Suifeng pondered while working——
Meticulous, efficient, tight-lipped, and with such many years of cooperation...
If there’s anything needed by my comrades, I can find him as well.
...
Children came back one after another, and with more people helping Shi Suifeng with work, the prototype of something was quickly completed——
After all, it’s a muddy ground, so there’s no need to be too particular. Just extend some slabs from the corridor by placing a few bricks next to the previous toilet.
This way, clothes won’t get wet and shoes and socks won’t get dirty on rainy days.
Da Dan, after tidying up the kitchen stuff, came over for a stroll and was even happier seeing two toilets.
"Aunt, this yard is big. Can we fertilize it?"
Previously, in Ning City’s yard, his aunt absolutely refused, saying the yard was small and wouldn’t allow manure.
Can the land be okay without fertilizer?
To grow vegetables better, Da Dan tried all sorts of ways, from burning bones to getting plant ash and also collecting chicken dung.
Even with this, this manure had to be deeply buried before his aunt would agree to fertilize the vegetable garden.
The vegetables have grown well these years due to his painstaking efforts.
Chu River instantly became vigilant——
"Didn’t you see the toilets are in the backyard? Don’t even think about it."
Sprinkling manure all over the yard would greatly affect the appetite.
Thinking about it, Chu River sincerely suggested:
"Da Dan, we can really make money now. I think the vegetables in the yard can stop being grown."
Da Dan gave her a look——
Not growing vegetables in such a big yard?
Neighbors coming over would almost obviously know you have money.
Moreover...
"Growing our own vegetables saves quite a bit each year, doesn’t it? Our family is large, even gold and silver mountains wouldn’t be enough to keep eating like this."
Chu River sincerely calculated:
"Actually, our money is enough for eating."
Da Dan was furious——is that how you spend money when you have it?!
But thinking about it——
Forget it, forget it.
If you don’t fertilize, you don’t fertilize; the vegetable garden must be set up.
Thinking about the fact that it’s August now, no matter what vegetables are planted, it wouldn’t catch up, he felt a wave of heartache.
Both vegetable and grain prices have increased compared to previous years. When there were no vegetable seedlings, the family’s daily vegetable cost was one yuan.
But this year, it’s one and a half, and that’s with vegetables in our own garden.
Now with the yard bare, daily vegetable costs would be about two yuan if bought...
Da Dan brushed the pots in the kitchen, truly worried about the food expenses!
...
Chen Changhai still doesn’t know his network will expand another level with Shi Suifeng’s trust,
Right now, he followed the big truck all the way to the city, and without another word, went back to his secret warehouse.
His business over these years wasn’t just directed to Shanghai or Beijing; because of it, he has saved up quite a bit. Currently, this warehouse is just a small courtyard on the ground floor he bought.
Not comparable to large village courtyards, but still, it’s around one or two hundred square meters.
This is a house in a canning factory’s family courtyard, quite remote, but it’s in the urban area. At that time, buying it cost a full 4000 yuan, highlighting the urban-rural disparity.
The advantage is that it didn’t need renovation and you could move in directly.
Even the household registration could be transferred, with monthly grain and oil allocations, saving a sum on food expenses.
Now he greeted the two brothers who watched over the yard daily, then asked:
"Any bicycle tickets on hand? If yes, go get two. I’m giving them away tonight."
In the yard, the honest-looking middle-aged man was surprised: "Giving away two, huh!"
He knew well that Chen Changhai wasn’t one to act without assurance, this must be a big client!
Remembering the money he had made over the years, he promptly dashed out without a second word.
And in the house, Chen Changhai was contemplating back and forth——
Anyway, the cellar eventually needed to be filled, and while the truck was there tonight, it’d be better to quietly move the goods from the backyard window onto the truck, saving him from discreetly asking brothers to transport them later.
Thinking this way, why bother picking through the stuff in the house?
Take it all!
——The God of Wealth indeed has money, especially these food items, there’s no worry of having too much!
Looking at the two newly acquired radios, he picked them up without another word.
...
Meanwhile, Driver Chen, after circling the department store and squeezing with the crowd to snag a few things, drove the truck over as scheduled.
This was a narrow alley, tight and narrow, where the big truck couldn’t enter at all. He parked the vehicle blocking the alley entrance and walked over directly.
Seeing the inconspicuous small courtyard window open, Chen Changhai’s face appeared.
Next to him, two brothers exchanged a glance, with one on each side watching the alley entrance.
Driver Chen felt a bit relieved.
Then——
"Brother Chen, give me a hand here."
Various fabrics, strange materials, pastries, milk candies, fruits.
Also rice, white flour, glutinous rice, red beans, green beans, brown sugar, honey, eggs, bacon, cans, lard...
There were even two radios.
Finally, a brother with the same surname, from who knows where, even rolled out two bicycles and three electric fans...
Driver Chen: ...
His expression went from surprise to shock, then to numbness, as he looked at the stuff in the truck bed that he painstakingly snatched from the department store.
Unable to hold back, he wiped the sweat off his head, complaining:
"Brother Chen, if you had mentioned how wide your connections were!"
Why would he need to scramble for two fans at the department store, almost losing a shoe while squeezing?
This fan isn’t unavailable at Ning City’s department store, it’s just in short supply, causing the stock to never be enough.
The stuff here was also requested by someone to bring from Beijing. Although the stock in Beijing was plentiful, queuing and scrambling were still needed...
Getting anything those days was tough.
Chen Changhai thought——if it wasn’t because of the years of cooperation and that Driver Chen’s brother couldn’t make it, he wouldn’t dare reveal that he had goods in front of them!
It seems that the driver he originally cooperated with was indeed trustworthy, his very own brother hadn’t spilled any unnecessary details.
Very good, very good.
Upon this thought, his smile became more sincere:
"No worries, Brother Chen, the goods here are from Beijing. If you have ideas, you can get the same back in Ning City, saving you from running back and forth."
He didn’t just do business in one place.
