Chapter 115 Some people are kind and honest, while others are ugly
“Xiulan, come to town with me, and let’s take our daughter with us.”
The next day, five o’clock Lin Heng got up as soon as the clock dawned, looked at his wife and said.
"There is still a lot of work at home, you can go alone." Xiulan didn't want to go. She had to feed chickens, ducks, pigs and badgers, so she couldn't get away.
"If you don't go, I won't be able to get so many things." Lin Heng spread his hands and said.
Xiulan couldn't talk to Lin Heng, so she could only agree: "Okay, I'll make pickled cabbage soup immediately. After eating, we will go to town together."
"Okay!" Lin Heng nodded and asked Xiao Xia woke up and took her to wash her face. He even brushed his teeth with tooth powder.
While Xiulan was cooking, Lin Heng packed up all the furs, mushrooms and herbs and prepared to sell them to the Liu family in town.
If it’s cheaper, it’s cheaper. As long as it’s not too harsh, it’s okay. I don’t bother to go to the city for this little thing.
After finishing the meal, before leaving, Xiulan saw that Lin Heng was still holding two purple bamboo fishing rods, and immediately asked: "You still have the fishing rods, are you going to go fishing in Huangtan River?"< br>
Lin Heng grinned, nodded and said, "Yes, let's have one each, and you fish with me."
"I don't have time, and I don't know how." Xiulan shook her head.
“Oh, we’ll be back in the afternoon. I’ve just fed the chickens and ducks. I’ve also thrown away some of the pigweed you shot yesterday, including the pigs, badgers, forest musk deer, and wild boar cubs. There’s nothing at home. Live." Lin Heng said, spreading his hands.
Xiulan still had some hesitation on her face. She felt that fishing was not very good.
“Please, my wife.” Lin Heng said again.
"Okay, let's give it a try. If you don't catch it, you won't catch it next time." Xiulan nodded and said.
"Okay, let's set off." Lin Heng was full of confidence. If he couldn't catch any fish in the Huangtan River, he would just seal the pole.
Xiulan carried her daughter on her back, Lin Heng took the things, said something to his parents, and set off.
After walking two or three kilometers, we came to Baima Village where Carpenter Liang was.
On the road, he saw an uncle driving a donkey-drawn cart down. Lin Heng quickly stopped him and said with a smile: "Uncle, where are you going?"
"I'm going to Huangtan Town. If you want to hitch a ride, come up here." The old man stopped the donkey cart and looked at Lin Heng and said with a smile.
Most people in rural areas uphold the attitude of helping if they can. Especially in this era, everyone is full of yearning for a better life, and they are harmonious and friendly to each other. I won't ask you to pay for taking me there.
"Thank you." Lin Heng said with a smile, and then helped his wife sit up.
"Thank you!" Xiaoxia also learned the same sentence. She was wearing a red hat and her two little dimples were very cute when she smiled.
"Haha, your little daughter is so cute. How old is she?" The old man laughed, and was so cute by Xiaoxia.
"She is one and a half years old. She was born in the first month of last year." Lin Heng said with a smile that Xiaoxia's birthday happens to be the Lantern Festival every year, and birthdays in rural areas are calculated according to the lunar calendar.
"That's amazing. You can speak so truthfully at such a young age. My grandson is two years old and he still can't speak." The uncle said with a smile while driving the donkey cart.
Lin Heng said with a smile: "This is called a noble person's late speech. Our ancient great sage Wang Yangming couldn't speak at the age of five, and the foreign Einstein couldn't speak at the age of four. Didn't they all become famous later? When you become a high official, your name will be passed down through the ages. You, this little grandson, have the appearance of being rich and powerful." "Hahaha, I'll give you a good word," said Lin Heng. The uncle was very happy when he said that, and soon asked about Lin Heng's elders.
Lin Heng talked about his elders, and the uncle immediately said with emotion: "It turns out he is Lin Changchun's grandson. I even built canals with him back then. He was a good man, but his life was too short." ”
Lin Heng also learned during the conversation that the old man's surname was Sun. He was going to Huangtan Town to see an old friend of his who was hospitalized.
The donkey cart moved forward slowly and leisurely, and the copper bells on the donkey's necks jingled. From time to time, puffs of smoke were seen on the road, and the sounds of cocks and dogs barking gradually became stronger.
As the morning dew gradually dried, they had arrived at Huangtan Town.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun. I kept talking and forgot to give you a cigarette. I need to add one more." Lin Heng took out the big Qianmen cigarette that he didn't smoke but carried with him and handed it to him. Old man.
“Oh, no, no, you’re too polite.” Old Man Sun waved his hand repeatedly, but Lin Heng still forced it into his hand.
In fact, Lin Heng didn't forget, but he didn't want the old man to smoke in the car. Second-hand smoke would harm his wife and children sitting in the back.
"Come and play at my house when you have time." After a few polite words, Lin Heng turned around and left with his wife and children.
At this time, people in the town were also getting up. Lin Heng came directly to the door of the buying station opened by Liu Qicheng. He was squatting in front of the door eating breakfast.
"Are you here to sell things so early? Have you eaten yet?" Liu Qicheng said with a smile. He couldn't wait to see Lin Heng's miserable appearance.
“After eating, let’s take a look at the things.” Lin Heng said expressionlessly.
"Bring it in." Liu Qicheng walked into the house and asked casually: "Are you still collecting mulberry leaves recently?"
"Yes, the price will definitely increase in the future." Lin Heng nodded.
Liu Qicheng smiled and said: "I heard that many places have stopped harvesting Phellinus huang. Be careful if you can't sell it in the future. Don't look for me then."
He recently I asked someone again, and I became more and more certain that the price of Phellinus linteum could not be increased.
However, what disappointed him was that there was no look of anxiety or panic on Lin Heng's face, and he said very calmly: "You should weigh these things, and you don't have to worry about Phellinus mulberry. ”
Of course he understood Liu Qicheng's mentality of gloating over others' misfortunes and looking down on himself, and he didn't bother to refute anything. He would regret it when the facts happened.
"Ganoderma is still fifty yuan a pound, suede skin is seventy yuan, and squirrel skin is three yuan."
After weighing the things, Liu Qicheng looked at Lin Heng and said.
“Your price is wrong. The prices in Ganoderma City have gone up to 70. How can this suede skin be sold for 80?” Lin Heng shook his head and said.
Liu Qicheng didn’t raise the price even if the price in the city went up. If the price dropped, he would drop it hard. It’s really dark.
Liu Qicheng glanced at Lin Heng and said with a cold face: "No, you can sell it in the city. This is the price I have here."
Lin Heng was stunned and said with a smile: "Uncle Liu, you are like this It's too overbearing to do business. I don't want you to pay the price in the city. You can make 65 yuan for Ganoderma lucidum and 80 yuan for suede leather. "
Lin. Heng's tone was to discuss it, but Liu Qicheng became angry at that time and shouted with a sneer: "Take your things away and sell them to whomever you like. I won't accept them anymore."
" No, I'm here to talk about business." Lin Heng spread his hands, thinking that he had not offended this person, so why was he angry?
"Whatever I charge is what I charge. If it's expensive in the city, why don't you go to the city and sell it? Negotiate the price with me? Do you really think you have the capital after charging a thousand kilograms of Phellinus huang? You and I are still far behind. Far away!”
Liu Qicheng sneered disdainfully. He felt that Lin Heng was blackmailing him and wanted him to make concessions, but there was no way.
If I made a price concession to you today, will I have to give a price concession to someone else tomorrow? A young boy who knows nothing, really thinks he is capable?
“Huh!” Lin Heng exhaled and said with a smile: “It’s okay, it’s my problem if you don’t give up the price.”
Holding the things, Lin Heng turned around He left with his wife and daughter.
After walking out, Xiulan pulled him and said, "Don't be angry. This man has always been like this. You are not allowed to bargain with him."
Lin Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm not angry."
It's impossible not to be angry. Xiaoxia was even frightened. He must teach this bitch Liu Qicheng a lesson. Last time, he was embarrassed in front of him and Lin's father, but this time he was really easy to bully.
Don’t you have a very good buying station, so I will build one too. If you don’t want to increase the price, then I will force you to increase the price.
This era is like this. Some people are simple and kind, while some people are greedy and ugly. They rely on themselves to monopolize resources and no one can negotiate the price.
Lin Heng suddenly remembered something. In his previous life, Liu Qicheng seemed to have gambled with the head of the Cheng family at the grain station, but he was not present when he was caught.
It's a pity that I didn't know the place and time of their gambling, otherwise I would have reported the grandson immediately.
"How about I go sell the things?" Xiulan whispered again. She could see that Lin Heng was holding back his anger.
"Don't sell it, keep it and I'll take it to the city to sell." Lin Heng shook his head. He didn't want his wife to be angry again.
Xiulan said again: "Then let's go fishing?"
"No, let's go home first." Lin Heng smiled and touched Xiaoxia's face. A little scared.
"Dad, that person is bad!" Xiaoxia looked at him and said.
"Yes, very bad." Lin Heng nodded and comforted his daughter.
"Okay." Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and had no choice but to go back now.
I didn’t bring any money with me when I came down. I originally wanted to sell my things and then buy some. But now that I can’t sell them, I have no choice but to go back.
I carried my daughter back and when they arrived at the village, someone saw them coming back carrying something and asked curiously: "Why didn't you sell it?"
"It's too dark. I don't want to sell it for the time being. The price offered is too low." Lin Heng said with a smile. "Hey, what can you do if the price is low? There is only one purchasing point in town. If you don't want to sell, you have to sell." There are many people who are dissatisfied with Liu Qicheng, but there is nothing they can do against him.
At this time, there was not even anti-monopoly law, and people were rich, so ordinary people could only endure it. This kind of thing is the same in every dynasty and every generation.
"Then you probably can only sell it in the market." Someone in the field laughed.
……
When he got home, Lin Heng put his daughter down and asked her to play with the cat.
"Xiulan, I'm going out for two or three days to discuss some business at the Tuanjie Brick Factory in the town." Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and whispered.
"It's really business, not revenge?" Xiulan didn't believe it. She knew that Lin Heng was holding back his anger.
Lin Heng held her hand and said with a smile: "It's really business. Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. I can't bear to leave you and my daughter. It's impossible for me to do anything illegal."
"Let's do this, you stay at home for a day, and if you still want to go tomorrow, you can go." Xiulan said, she felt that Lin Heng was still angry for the time being.
"Okay, I promise you." Lin Heng nodded, went into the room and took a pen and paper to start writing yesterday's plan.
He overturned yesterday's idea. The results of breeding are still slow. Before that, he can start a business first. The purchasing station is quite good. After it is opened, find someone he can trust in the town. Just look at it.
He himself is still in the village with his wife, children and family, slowly building his own Hongfeng Mountain.
The advantage of this is that you have a stable source of income. You don't have to rely on luck such as hunting in the mountains. You can also have a guarantee when doing other things by yourself.
He actually had this idea before, but it was not as strong as it is today. After all, capital is needed to compete with a mature acquisition station.
After thinking about it, Lin Heng continued to write his own construction plan for Hongfeng Mountain, writing down all the precautions, things that needed attention, and what to buy.
A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. It is better to write this kind of thing bit by bit to avoid missing it.
Xiulan watched Lin Hengzhen write so seriously, and then she believed that Lin Hengzhen was not acting out of emotion.
In the afternoon, Father Lin came over.
"Lin Heng, I heard that you and Xiaoxia went to sell things in the morning and ended up carrying them back?" Father Lin walked into the yard and asked curiously.
"Yes, then Liu Qicheng was too bullying..." Lin Heng told the general story.
After hearing this, Father Lin shook his head: "This person is getting darker and darker now. He was such a good person when he first opened the business."
"But you must never Don't think about beating people, your wife and children are all dependent on you. We can just go to the city and sell them at a low price. If you hit someone, you will have to go to jail." Father Lin looked at him worriedly. Lin Heng said.
"As you can tell, I'm not good at fighting. Even when I was with Zhao Hu and the others, I never fought." Lin Heng said helplessly, spreading his hands.
Father Lin nodded: "That's good, you'd better make your own fish pond. The days are set for you, June 20th and June 24th, both days are fine. ”
Compared with his son going to fight with wealthy people doing business, Father Lin felt that it was not unacceptable to dig his own fish pond.
What Father Lin is talking about is the lunar calendar. This year is June 17 of the lunar calendar. There are three days to the 20th and six days to the 24th.
"I understand. I will buy the materials tomorrow and start digging fish ponds when I get back." Lin Heng nodded and said, no matter what other things are like, digging fish ponds must continue.
"Okay, I'll go back first. I'll have to go uphill to weed the crops in the afternoon." Father Lin said and was about to go back.
"Dad, why are you so anxious? Let's play for a while." Lin Heng took Lin's father to sit down and drink tea.
As Father Lin drank tea, Lin Heng showed him his plan for Hongfeng Mountain.
After seeing this, Father Lin smiled and patted Lin Heng on the shoulder: "You kid, you have an idea. If you have money, just go ahead and do it. I'll look away. Go ahead and do yours." Your father and I don’t have that ability, so I can only prevent you from starving when you have no money.”
He was shocked. His son’s plan was too ambitious. What would be the annual income in five years? At least a million, he couldn't even imagine it.
He will be extremely happy to be able to earn 500 yuan a year in five years. He is afraid of his son's ambition. At the same time, I thought it was too much fun. The plan was pretty good, but it was just a fantasy to realize.
"Haha, dad, just watch. In five years, I will build a big villa on Hongfeng Mountain and bring you and mom in." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"I've eaten your big cake, and I'm waiting for that day." Father Lin said with a smile.
After chatting for a while and drinking two cups of tea, Father Lin left.
Lin Heng went to help fight some pigweed in the afternoon, but did not go uphill to help remove bract weed.
In the evening, Xiulan was afraid that Lin Heng was really motivated, so she took the initiative to squeeze Lin Heng dry, hoping to use her gentleness to influence Lin Heng.
This was an unprecedented and wonderful experience for Lin Heng, and he became a passive party.
He waited until it was over before telling his wife all his plans. He was really going to the Tuanjie Brick Factory to discuss business.
He plans to sell the technology on how to make a better product to the owner of Tuanjie Brick Factory to earn some cash, and then go to other towns to bring back a batch of mulberry. With enough capital, he can fuck that bitch Liu Qicheng Raised.
As for why he knew how to bake bricks, Lin Heng told his wife that it was a secret and he would tell her later.
"So you thought about it from the beginning, and then you told me after I took the initiative?" After hearing this, Xiulan looked straight at Lin Heng.
Even though there was only faint moonlight in the room, Lin Heng felt this sharp gaze.
"Bad guy!" Xiulan's voice was gritted, and she bit Lin Heng's arm.
“Oh, I was the wrong wife.” Lin Heng quickly begged for mercy, but Xiulan really bit her this time.
“I really want to bite you to death, but I won’t do it again in the future.” Xiulan turned her head away, furious.
In order to make her husband feel at ease and not engage in all kinds of things, she endured so much shame that she made the determination to serve him. In the end, this hateful man lied to herself.
“It’s really bad!!”
Xiulan couldn't help but turn around and hit Lin Heng again, this hateful man.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong." Lin Heng quickly hugged his wife and begged for mercy. He suddenly panicked when he thought that the wonderful thing just now would never happen again.
"Hold the pillow and sleep, you are angry." Xiulan threw the pillow to him.
When she thought that she was comforting him with all her heart, but this person was having fun, she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
When Xiulan got up early the next morning, she was embarrassed to look at Lin Heng, and her expression was cold, as if she was very angry.
"Don't be angry." While his wife was cooking, Lin Heng walked in shamelessly.
“Get out.” Xiulan glared at him.
Lin Heng found an opportunity to hug her and tickle her. Xiulan smiled and begged for mercy: "Stop scratching her. I'm really not angry anymore. Please, husband~"
Her body softened from being scratched, and she collapsed in Lin Heng's arms.
Lin Heng let go. She stood up and wanted to give her man a couple of blows. She shook her head helplessly and said, "I'm really in your hands for the rest of my life."
"It's okay, I've made a reservation for the next life and the next life too." Lin Heng chuckled.
“Don’t talk too much, I must let you calm down for seven days to taste it.” Xiulan glared at him.
"Don't, you'll feel uncomfortable too."
"If you talk too much, I'll let you sleep outside the door." Xiulan said angrily.
Lin Heng was helpless. If he had known he would have lied to his wife, it would have been fatal to lose food for seven days.
How could a young body bear this punishment?
After breakfast, Lin Heng changed his clothes and went out. After spending the past few days with Xiaoxia, he was no longer so clingy.
"Be safe, come back as soon as possible." Xiulan put a straw hat on him and warned him.
"Don't worry, I will definitely come back soon." Lin Heng said with a smile.
After saying that, he turned around and went out. Time was tight. He had to complete this matter as soon as possible and get some money to buy a batch of mulberry and yellow crops.
When he walked to Huangtan Town, Lin Heng glanced at the direction of Liu's purchasing station and smiled. It was never something adults should do to do anything. One-to-one replacement was only done when there was no other way.
He has many ways to finish him off. Killing people with borrowed knives and stabbing people in the dark are smart strategies.
