"It rained for another day!"
On the morning of the 19th, Lin Heng sighed after getting up and looking at the continuous rain outside.
Who would have thought that the rain would come on the first day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his original intention of doing something big was suddenly gone.
"Just rest when it rains. God has decided to rain. What can you do to him?" Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and said.
"But I can't rest today. I have to go to town. I don't know when Li Shiwei will come down." Lin Heng closed the window and walked to the bed and said.
"Yes, today is the market day. You are going to open a shop in the town." Xiulan then remembered that there was no one in the town now, so Lin Heng had to go there in person.
She originally wanted to take a nap, but when she remembered this, she quickly got up and prepared to make breakfast.
"I can stutter myself. You can sleep a little longer!" Lin Heng pushed her back and said.
"It's okay. I'm either sleepy or just want to stay in bed." Xiulan shook her head and got up with Lin Heng.
The two of them had just made breakfast after exercising, when firecrackers sounded outside.
"Looking in the direction of the Jin family, Zhao Hu is here to propose marriage." Lin Heng went out to take a look at the yard and said.
"I just said, let's set off the cannons so early in the morning." Xiulan nodded and said.
Dong dong dong!
"Brother Lin Heng, I'm down!"
Just as Lin Heng was about to go back to the house to have breakfast, Li Shiwei's shout came from outside the door.
"I came down so early, I just went in to have breakfast." Lin Heng opened the door and said with a smile.
“I set off early in the morning, for fear of delaying things.” Li Shiwei said with a smile.
He was very excited when Lin Heng asked him to help look after the store. Their whole family was also very happy. They told him to seize the opportunity and learn from Lin Heng, so he stayed early.
“Don’t be in a hurry, let’s have breakfast first, the potato pancakes made by Xiulan.” Lin Heng said with a smile.
Taking Li Shiwei into the house, Xiulan had already put breakfast on the table, potato pancakes, eggs and milk, a simple but not simple breakfast.
Although Li Shiwei knew what Lin Heng's breakfast looked like, he still couldn't help but swallow.
He was not polite to Lin Heng. He picked it up and ate it in big gulps.
“Not to mention, your food is so delicious. I won’t be able to get used to it after eating two more meals at home.”
After breakfast, Li Shiwei said with emotion that his family still has I often eat cornmeal, and eggs and milk are really luxurious.
"That's okay, you can just eat here." Lin Heng said with a smile.
If you want to be healthy, egg milk is essential, especially for children.
"Haha, we agreed, I will come to eat every day." Li Shiwei grinned.
The two chatted for a while. Lin Heng also finished eating and told Xiulan, then patted Li Shiwei on the arm and said, "Let's go."
"Okay."
Li Shiwei nodded happily.
After driving the tricycle, they arrived at Huangtan Town in a short while. There were many people waiting here early in the morning to sell mountain products.
Lin Heng welcomed people into the house with a smile, and then taught Li Shiwei while selling goods. Li Shiwei only attended the fifth grade of elementary school, so he still needs to be taught bit by bit to learn these things.
But he himself is not stupid, he learns quickly, and he can basically master it within three or four days of going to the market.
After being taught a general idea, Lin Heng sat aside to drink tea and let him take charge.
Because of the rain, there were not many people going to the market today. Soon Li Shiwei was free. He sat over and took a sip of tea. He looked at Lin Heng and said, "Brother Lin, look at what I did. Right? ”
"It's okay." Lin Heng nodded and said, "You have to pay attention when doing business. The most important thing is to be friendly and make money. Especially for a small business in a town like ours, reputation is very important. Some small help can be provided. If you can help, just help. If some acquaintances want to pay for some small things on credit, you can give him credit."
Doing business in towns is a little different from that in cities. You have to be friendly here, and then add it. If you pay a fair price, you can continue your business for a long time.
"I understand." Li Shiwei nodded.
"Then you look at the shop. Uncle Gao and I went out to fish for two poles." Lin Heng looked at him and said.
"Okay." Li Shiwei said happily, and he was encouraged by Lin Heng's confidence in him.
Lin Heng just took the fishing rod and put on his raincoat and went fishing with Uncle Gao.
It is no longer easy to fish up and down the Huangtan River Bridge. It is not that there are no fish, but that these fish have become cautious after trying the terror of fishhooks.
But this is not a big deal. They walked down 700 to 800 meters and found a good catchment bay. Despite the continuous rain, the two of them caught three kilograms in only three hours. There are many yellow bone bones and two pounds of crucian carp.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to town after fishing. Uncle Gao gave him half of the fish. He couldn't finish that much by himself.
Lin Heng is now very familiar with Uncle Gao and is not so polite. When he left, he told Li Shiwei something more. He was mainly here to watch the business on important days when he went to the market. On days other than the market, he could take time to go home.
Do it for a month first, and if it works, make sure you let him do it.
Of course, the money is the same, 20 yuan a month. There is no such thing as internship salary.
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Lin Heng returned to the house. He walked in with the fish and said: "My wife, look at the yellow bone I caught."
Xiulan left When I came out to see it, I was surprised and said: "There are so many. It seems that the water is muddy and easy to fish. Let's cook some for the children to eat at night."
She likes to make pickled yellow bone fish and put some vermicelli in it. The vermicelli filled with soup is also a delicacy that everyone likes.
"Okay, I'll kill them right now." Lin Heng smiled and nodded. This kind of yellow bone-in-two pieces is the most suitable. The meat tastes tender and fragrant, and it's easy to cook.
In the evening, Xiulan made a pickled yellow bone fish, stir-fried a small pot of cabbage, and the staple food was the scallion pancake made at noon.
The delicious dinner made people sleep comfortably. The children were also very happy eating fish and vermicelli. After eating one, they shouted to continue eating.
Early the next morning, the rain had not stopped yet. Lin Heng got up relatively late, and then went to Hongfeng Mountain to help. The lamb was born recently, and Father Lin was very busy.
Lin Heng came to help but only encountered one sheep giving birth. After helping deliver the baby and feeding the cows and sheep, he had nothing to do. Because it had been raining all day, he thought about it, put on his raincoat and took his dog to the several matsutake nests he had discovered before. After searching for a while, he only found three small mushrooms, but they were too small for him to pick.
I picked a lot of pine fungi on the way home, and there were also a lot of pine fungi during this period.
In the next few days, Lin Heng also helped out at Hongfeng Mountain. Nothing special happened in the village. After Zhao Hu proposed the marriage, he left with Jin Hai and Liu Sheng. Rumors spread in the village The news is that the two families are planning to get married and hold a wedding before the Chinese New Year.
It has been raining for four days in a row. During this time, apart from helping out at Hongfeng Mountain, I can do nothing else.
After the rain came out and the sun came out for a day, their family started to harvest rice. This year, there are rice flower fish. Every time it rains, they have to prevent the water from flooding the fields and taking away the fish.
On the day of rice harvest, they first drained the water in the fields, and then cut the rice while raining swords.
Soon the rice in one acre of field was harvested. Father Lin poured out the rice fish from the bucket, looked at it and said with a smile: "This rice fish is not bad, one acre of field can weigh sixty or seventy kilograms of fish." ”
The rice flower fish poured into the basket was crackling. They were basically two-liang fish and looked very healthy. This kind of rice flower fish still tastes very good, very fragrant and tender.
“Not only is it good, we will also get rice fish next year.” said the villager who was threshing millet next to him.
“That’s right, even if one acre of land only weighs fifty kilograms, five acres of land weighs two hundred and fifty kilograms, which is equivalent to one pig.”
They did not breed rice here. Huayu is accustomed to it, after all, it belongs to the north, but after seeing Lin Heng's success story, he was also moved.
Father Lin smiled and patted his chest and said: "That's no problem. If you want fish fry next year, I will even buy them and deliver them to you. You can wait until the rice fish are sold before giving them to us."
"That's no problem. Next year we will I’ll look for you to get some seeds.”
“Old Lin, you’re a real person. I’ll look for you next year.”
Everyone nodded.
At this time, Lin Yue looked at Lin Heng again and asked: "Brother, we can continue to raise this fish, right?"
"Of course you can. Take this fish back and put it in the pond to raise it if it grows. If you feed it well, it won't be a problem to grow five pounds in a year." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.
"Then I will go back and put all my rice flower fish into the pond to raise them. There are not many fish raised in the fish pond this year." Lin Xutao said.
He felt that his family was unlucky this year. First, they finished raising shrimps, and then a number of fish died. Fortunately, there was no problem with the rice fish.
Everyone continued to thresh grain while chatting playfully. Today, 20 people were called, aiming to finish the fishing in one day. Four acres of paddy fields were plowed in one morning. Lin Heng harvested 220 kilograms of rice fish. Most of them were first raised in the pond of the incubation room and picked. The big one was eaten for lunch.
Cut the fish into sections and fry until golden brown, then stew it and add some sauerkraut to make a sour soup. It is a dish suitable for all ages.
In the afternoon, my luck was not very good. I only picked up a few rice fish in two fields, and I got 150 kilograms of fish in four acres of fields. It was not as good as in the morning.
But that doesn’t matter. After all, rice fish is a casual harvest, and the main harvest is rice. Lin Heng's family's rice production this year was not bad because they used a lot of cow and sheep dung as base fertilizer. The yield per mu was 850 kilograms, and 6,800 kilograms of rice was harvested from eight acres of land.
Other families in the village who bought rice seeds were also filled with happy smiles. The rice yield has changed from three to four hundred kilograms per mu of land in previous years. This year, the worst can reach 500 kilograms per mu. The output is generally around 600 kilograms.
It can be said that starting from this year, every household will no longer have to be so poor to eat white rice.
Lin Heng was also happy to see the happy smiles of the villagers. Although these people have various minor problems, they are generally simple and worthy of help.
Humans have been cultivating various crops for at least thousands of years, but it was not until modern times that the problem of food and clothing was gradually solved. The main reason is modern breeding technology and the production of chemical fertilizers.
Without these two things, the return of land to human beings can only be said to be average.
Although it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, as long as the sun is still strong on a sunny day, the harvested rice will be dried and ready for storage in three days.
After taking out the best grain and happily handing it over to the country, the farmers were willing to taste the new rice, and smiles gradually appeared on their faces.
Lin Heng waited for the road to dry before driving his tricycle into the city. He first went to the factory to have a look and asked Wang Zhou if he had done anything recently.
He felt relieved after receiving an answer without any questions, and then went to contact the kiwi sales with his elder brother. Because with the previous grape sales in front, it was not difficult to sell kiwis.
The market value of kiwi fruit is about the same as that of grapes. His eldest brother’s real estate this year is more than 800 kilograms per acre, 250 kilograms per kilo, which is 200 yuan for one acre of land, and 20 yuan for ten acres of land. thousand.
As for his third father’s family, because the seedlings have not grown up this year, the output is even less, 500 kilograms per acre, and the quality is not as good as Lin Yue’s, and can only be sold for 20 cents, one. One hundred yuan per mu, and his family grows kiwi fruit on five acres of land, which is five hundred yuan.
This harvest was unbelievable to them in the past. They never expected that it would not be difficult to sell it, and the money they made was beyond expectations.
"Brother, this is the money I borrowed from you, and now I have to pay you back in one lump sum."
On the day he received the money, Lin Yue first took 800 yuan and returned it to Lin Heng. This was the money he had used to buy the gun and seedlings. He was supposed to pay it back after opening a store to make money, but Lin Heng never asked for the money.
"You take it first, brother, I don't lack this." Lin Heng shook his head with a smile.
"It's time to pay it back, don't be polite to me, just take it all." Lin Yue handed it to him.
After refusing several times, it still didn’t work, so Lin Heng had to say: "That should be seven hundred, why give me eight hundred."
Lin Yue smiled and said: "One hundred It’s interest. Without you, neither Kiwi nor the store would be able to make it.”
He kept in mind all the help Lin Heng had given him over the years. If it weren't for Lin Heng, he might have had a hard time supporting his three children, and he wouldn't be as tough at home as he is now.
In the past, his wife who had no money always complained about him. In the past two years, his back has gradually straightened up. Both his wife and his parents-in-law are much kinder to him, and they have to take the initiative to ask him about anything. .
And he knew that these were brought by his younger brother, and he was always grateful.
“Brother, don’t say this.” Lin Heng smiled and shook his head, and in the end he only accepted the 700 lent.
Early the next morning, Lin Hai also came with money. In addition to the money he originally borrowed from Lin Heng, there was also a portion of interest and a thank you fee.
Lin Hai is also a smart man. He understands Lin Heng's role and deserves a lot of it.
Lin Heng was still the same as his elder brother, and only collected what he should have lent to Lin Hai and a little shipping fee for transporting kiwis to him.
He still said the same thing, he didn’t make any money from them, but he couldn’t lose either. He does not ask for anything in return for his support to his relatives and friends, he just wants to see these people who are kind to him live a good life.
Kiwi made money, and his three parents, not to mention how advanced they were, bought beef and mutton and invited all Lin Heng’s family over for dinner, pouring wine and picking up vegetables.
Many people in the village are even more envious. It used to be just watching Lin Heng's family make money, but now even his third father's family has made money, and everyone is very envious. (End of chapter)
