Chapter 238 The Importance of Signs
“Then let’s help kill him.”
Father Lin and the eldest brother said together.
"Okay."
Lin Heng squatted down with a dagger and dealt with the largest mandarin fish first. Naturally, the first step was to remove the scales and gills.
Xiaoxia, Lin Wei and others came over to watch and kept asking questions. Father Lin also took a knife to kill beside him.
Lin Heng finished processing the big mandarin fish, and when he cut open the belly, he saw a belly full of fish roe.
“It’s a pity that this fish has fish roe in its belly.”
Lin Heng shook his head. He originally wanted to get it back alive to breed, but when he caught it, I guessed it was a female fish.
“My fish here are all female, but it doesn’t matter, the fish roe is also quite delicious.”
Father Lin showed off his fish roe.
Lin Heng nodded. The roe of his big mandarin fish weighed half a catty and could not be held with one hand.
“Ouch~”
The fish roe was soaked in a bowl. Lin Heng was just about to throw the internal organs on the ground when Xiong Ba’s big head stretched out.
“I’ll cook it for you later, don’t worry.”
Lin Heng patted its big head. He still felt sorry for Xiong Ba, fearing that parasites might harm it.
“Woof woof!”
Xiongba seemed to understand, sitting next to him and waiting with his tongue sticking out. It is now an adult. It is a little taller than Lin Heng when he is squatting. When he sticks out his tongue, it no longer looks like a Samoyed smile. Instead, it looks very majestic and domineering.
"Ouch~"
The small dog Fengshou and the green wolf dog Laifu next to them ran over and wanted to smell the fish offal. As soon as they reached there, they were bullied by Xiong. Push away, no dog can covet its fish entrails.
After a while, all the fish were processed, and Lin Heng went to look at the fish in the secondary reservoir again. Three half-pound mandarin fish survived, but the plum blossom still failed to hold on.
Lin Heng could only fish it out and kill it, and his stomach was full of fish roe.
After killing it, Lin Heng asked his father to take the fish to the kitchen. He cleaned the ground and washed away the blood.
"There are so many fishes that I can't finish them all. Let's make at most three small ones or one big one tonight."
Xiulan said when she saw Lin Heng entering the kitchen.
"Then just cook all the fish, and then cook less other dishes, and we can all eat fish."
Lin Heng said with a wink.
"You really want to break people up." Xiulan glared at him, patted him and said, "Do you know stinky mandarin fish?"
"Listen You said it, can you do it?" Lin Heng asked curiously.
Xiulan nodded proudly: "Of course. In the early years, there was an aunt who fled from Anhui in our village. She knew how to make it. I learned from her and it tasted pretty good."
"Then you do it, I'll try it just in time." Lin Heng reached out and brushed the broken hair in front of her eyes.
Xiulan explained: "I was afraid that you wouldn't eat, so I asked."
"Since you want to eat, then I will take two mandarin fish, one large and one small." Marinate it into stinky mandarin fish, and then ask your parents to eat it. "Okay." Lin Heng nodded, and then watched Xiulan marinate curiously.
The pickling of smelly mandarin fish is very simple, just hit it with some cross-cut knives and marinate it with onion, ginger, garlic slices and white wine for a few minutes.
Then take out these ingredients, apply a layer of salt on the inside and outside of the mandarin fish, put it in a plastic bag and gently press it with stones to ferment.
Generally, fermentation takes four to five days in summer and ten or twenty days in winter.
When Xiulan was making it, she also put some fermented bean curd on it, saying that it would ferment faster.
While watching her making, Lin Heng boiled water and cooked the fish's internal organs, then took them out and fed them to Xiong Ba.
Xiulan finished marinating the mandarin fish, marinated the remaining five fish, steamed all four plum blossoms, made a soup from the remaining salmon, and used the fish roe and fish floats to make it. A dish of braised fish roe.
Lushui County, where Xiulan was born, has a developed water system, and she is also good at cooking fish.
After cooking the fish, stir-fry the meat with garlic sprouts, cut some stewed vegetables and you are ready to eat.
“This steamed plum blossom fish is really delicious.” Caiyun said
“This fish is not fishy at all, and the fish meat still has a little sweetness.” Lin Yue said.
Mother Lin also nodded: "The most important thing is that it doesn't have a single fish bone. Xiaoxia and the others can eat it as they like."
At the dinner table, everyone loves the steamed Qinling fine salmon. The meat quality of this fish is much better than that of ordinary freshwater fish.
Lin Heng gave Xiaoxia some and took a bite himself. It tasted sweet without dipping in soy sauce, but with soy sauce it tasted richer.
"I'm going to raise this plum fish." Lin Heng said while looking at everyone.
"That's okay. We only have this fish here. It should be easy to sell after raising it. There will only be fewer and fewer fish caught in the river." Father Lin nodded.
"This kind of fish without bones will definitely be popular. Those who don't eat fish will want to eat it." Lin Yue also nodded.
Without fish bones, this is an overwhelming victory for a large group of freshwater fish, and it can attract a large number of customers with just this selling point.
“I just don’t know if it is difficult to raise.” Xiulan said the key to this problem. She had never seen plum blossoms raised by herself, so I’m afraid it would be quite difficult.
Lin Heng smiled and said: "Well, let's eat vegetables."
As he said that, he took another chopstick of fish roe and gave it to Xiaoxia. It is a very good food for children to improve immunity.
Xiaoxia likes to eat plum blossom fish. After trying the fish roe for two bites, she doesn’t want to eat it. She doesn’t think it is as delicious as plum blossom fish.
Lin Heng also tasted it, and it felt like eating egg yolk. It was quite delicious.
Everyone ate their meal very slowly, chatting while eating, otherwise they would not be able to sleep at night.
Lin Heng was almost done eating and went to scoop up the rice. The fried pork with garlic sprouts was so delicious that his tongue wanted to devour it.
By the time we finished eating, it was already past eight o'clock.
Lin Heng tidied up, fed the two puppies, and covered his car with a tarp.
On the early morning of the eighth day of the lunar month, it was raining lightly, but it did not turn into snow.
Father Lin tied up his oxen to plow a piece of land under the road early in the morning, and then he and his elder brother picked up manure in preparation for planting potatoes.
Lin Heng drove to the town to pay New Year's greetings to Uncle Gao in the morning. He also went to find Wang Zhou and asked him to come to work tomorrow.
But what Lin Heng didn't expect was that when he came down, Wang Zhou had already come to town and was already wiping the counter.
“You are very diligent.”
Lin Heng walked into the room and said with a smile.
Wang Zhou laughed: "Brother Lin, you gave me so many year-end bonuses, so I will naturally come to work hard."
"Don't worry, there will be year-end bonuses this year, and there will be more. " Lin Heng said with a smile, and then went to find Uncle Gao with his things.
The three of them had a drink and went fishing for a while at noon, but they ended up mentioning the air force.
In the afternoon, Lin Heng went to the credit union and took out 500 yuan in cash and gave it to Wang Zhou. Tomorrow is the market day on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
The Spring Festival holiday in the 1980s was only five days, which ended on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, so the credit unions in the town were already open for business.
After returning home, I leveled a piece of land in the back mountain and made a closed circle for the male forest musk deer. This guy is basically not afraid of people now and will not think about escaping. .
The good days of eating, sleeping and eating every day have corroded its free heart, but even so, Lin Heng still carefully tied a rope to it, just in case his forest deer ran away. The breeding plan was ruined.
The forest musk deer moved their positions. Lin Heng shoveled up the forest musk deer on the ground in the backyard and moved them to the front yard to plant vegetables. By the time the ground was cleaned, it was already dark.
Tonight, Xiaoxia suddenly wanted to sleep with Xiulan and Lin Heng. It was useless to talk for a long time, so she could only put her in the middle of the quilt and the three of them rested together.
When Xiaoxia fell asleep, Lin Heng and Xiulan were still awake.
"I'm going to town tomorrow. I'm going to contact a truck to go to Ancheng to buy fruit trees and some Chinese medicine seeds. I'll also see if there are any cows or something and buy two."
Lin Heng Lying on the bed, looking at Xiulan and said. There was their daughter between the two of them, and they were both a little used to not being close to each other.
In fact, if possible, Lin Heng would not want to go to the city at all, but if he wants to make money and develop the city, he must go.
There is a saying that goes well, a speck of dust falling on a person is heavier than a mountain. Even if Lin Heng is reborn, he must follow history. It is impossible to reverse the trend of history.
Just like this small mountain village, no matter how hard Lin Heng tries, he cannot become a city. He has to follow the trajectory of history in order to change his own destiny and that of his entire family.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Xiulan asked aloud.
"You can take care of the kids at home, and I'll take my eldest brother with me." Lin Heng shook his head. He was negotiating business with someone, so there was no need to bring his wife with him.
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety." Xiulan nodded.
The two looked at each other and fell asleep peacefully in the flickering light of the fireplace.
This night, Lin Heng suddenly dreamed of a different future. He was still in a daze when he woke up in the morning.
After washing up and changing into a set of clean clothes, Lin Heng went over and called his eldest brother. He told his eldest brother yesterday afternoon that there would be no problem today.
"Let's set off after breakfast." Lin Heng looked at his eldest brother and said with a smile. He also wanted to take his eldest brother with him to discuss business. The family business will definitely need manpower in the future, and he must start training in advance.
"Okay, your sister-in-law is making it. Do you want to eat together?" Lin Yue asked with a smile.
"Xiulan is doing it too."
Lin Heng said, turned around and walked out towards the village party secretary's home.
He took two pieces of soap made by Xiulan, and they were not for Tian Dongfu, but for Wang Qin.
I talked to Tian Dongfu about the shotgun license, and he readily agreed and directly issued a certificate. With this, you can apply for a gun license.
Lin Heng returned home with the certificate. After eating, he asked Xiulan to come out with two hundred cash.
"Pay attention to your safety." Xiulan gave Lin Heng the money and tidied up his collar and hair.
“Don’t worry.”
Lin Heng lowered his head and took a bite on his wife’s face, then took the safety helmet and went out.
Throwing a helmet to his elder brother, he drove out in the car. The two got into the car and walked towards the city in a hurry.
Since they were two grown men, Lin Heng drove very fast and arrived in the city in less than an hour.
The first stop was in front of a tailor shop where custom-made clothes were made.
Lin Yue said doubtfully: "Brother, you are not here to discuss business, why are you here at the tailor shop."
Lin Heng patted his elder brother on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I was in the tailor shop years ago. I ordered a Chinese tunic suit worth 50 yuan. I'm here to pick it up. "Why did you buy such expensive clothes?" Lin Yue's eyes widened. This is completely unnecessary.
Lin Heng smiled slightly, looked at his brother and said, "Brother, the first thing you need to pay attention to when talking about business is your momentum. If you don't dress well, people will subconsciously think that your business is not running well, and it will be difficult to negotiate business."
"So you can't save on these things, just to make yourself look fat."
This is like a store where you decorate the interior to attract luxurious customers but save money on the signboard. This is not acceptable. When discussing business with others, the way you dress and speak is your own sign, and this sign must be bright enough.
As soon as Lin Heng said, Lin Yue suddenly realized: "I see, I wouldn't have thought of it unless you told me."
He turned around and saw that the signs on the street were very strange. The business of the humble shops is not good.
Lin Heng didn’t say anything else. He smiled and took his elder brother into the store. He took out the deposit invoice and soon the clerk took out his Chinese tunic suit.
This is a gray tunic suit. After Lin Heng put it on, his whole temperament changed. He had a beautiful face with a pair of piercing eyes, a tall and straight figure, and a mature temperament. He stood there like a The leader is a Chen Gong person.
"Boss, you are the most handsome person I have ever seen wearing a Chinese tunic suit." The seamstresses in the store couldn't help but praise.
Lin Yue couldn't help but nod. The feeling of wearing formal clothes and casual clothes was different.
Lin Heng took out 40 yuan and handed it over, smiled slightly and said: "Your craftsmanship is good."
"Thank you boss, good craftsmanship requires your temperament to be able to wear it. "The boss took the money with a smile and packed up Lin Heng's old clothes and shoes.
I bought a tunic suit for fifty yuan, but it was more than just that, including two car shirts, two pairs of leather shoes, and a briefcase.
After taking the things, Lin Heng walked out.
He did not rush to the transportation company to find a truck, but first went to the wholesaler Li Chengguo.
There were employees at Li Chengguo's side who were loading goods. When they saw Lin Hengkai's rare three-wheeled approach, he thought some boss was coming and hurriedly went in to report.
As soon as Lin Heng walked to the gate, Li Chengguo came out. He was about to nod and bow to say hello, but when he took a closer look, he was stunned.
Li Chengguo exhaled and said with emotion: "Brother Lin Heng, you have changed a lot after a new year."
Lin Heng smiled slightly and said: "Isn't this about doing business? I changed my clothes and bought I bought a car.”
“Your car is extraordinary, I’m afraid it’s very expensive.” Li Chengguo said with a smile.
"It's okay." Lin Heng smiled and introduced his elder brother Lin Yue to him.
After entering the room, Li Chengguo gave Lin Heng and the others a cup of tea, and asked with a smile: "Do you have new business to discuss when you come here this time?"
"It's not like we have new business. I just want to ask if you can go to Ancheng with me when you are free and use your car to pull some goods for me." Lin Heng said with a smile.
In addition to this, he is also going to let him pull some fertilizer up.
"This won't work. I only have a truck. I can't deliver the goods if I go to Ancheng." Li Chengguo shook his head, wondering why Lin Heng went to Ancheng.
After taking a sip of tea, he added: "But you came just in time, I also have something to ask you."
