Chapter 369: Recalling hardships and thinking about sweetness, how to recite the Sutra on Getting Rich
This young couple is also very energetic and has nowhere to go.
I want to push a stone mill, but I don’t want to use animals to pull it. I just want to experience it myself.
But how can these young people who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains be able to push the big millstone of Chen Ling's family?
After several attempts, the two men exerted all their strength, their cheeks turned red, and the millstone did not move at all.
"This big millstone in the Fugui family is as big as a millstone. It has to be pulled by animals to turn it. Generally, there are only two or three strong men who can't push it. I tell you two, you still don't believe it."
Wang Laishun said with a smile, now that machines are used to grind flour in the village, no one wants this big millstone for a long time, so Chen Ling took it as a treasure and took it back home.
"Uncle Wu, what is this grinding plate? Is it so big and heavy?"
The man wiped his sweat and took a breath and asked, but he also followed the shouts of many villagers. When the king comes, his fifth uncle comes.
“Yes, the grinding plate is also heavy, but this grinding plate is not the same as this stone mill. It is not the grinding plate that is rotating, but mainly the stone roller above it. It is a little easier to push than this stone mill. .”
Wang Laishun pointed in the direction of the village as he spoke: "There are several grinding discs and stone rollers placed in the wheat field outside our village. If you want to play around, they can grind grain together. Even this stone roller needs to be Choose carefully. ”
The grinding plate is also a grinder, which is matched with the stone roller. It cannot be used without the stone roller.
The stone roller in the wheat field is used to thresh wheat when the wheat is ripe. Its main function is to press the wheat field and flatten it. It can be pulled by a single person and is relatively light.
So you have to be careful and pick one that is a little heavier. After all, you still need a big stone roller to grind grain.
“It turns out that stone rollers also have to be bigger.”
"If it's too big, can we push it?" the girl asked.
"Yes, it can be pushed. Just put on the grinding stick and you two can work together. It is much lighter than the millstone of the Fugui family."
"Oh, that's good. . ”
The two young men nodded in understanding. They had never been to the countryside, so they didn’t know the difference between stone mills and stone rollers.
Only Wang Laishun can say whatever he says.
"They want to change the roller for pushing. Fugui, you have nothing to do. Come with us for a walk."
Looking at Chen Ling holding the baby and playing with the cat and dog next to him. , Wang Lai said with a smile.
This lazy boy has real skills.
A few words have made him steal the limelight recently.
The vendors setting up stalls on the reservoir are in good order. Although the dam is busy, it is clean and tidy, and no one is throwing anything away.
Who wouldn't praise him as a branch secretary for his good management?
Thanks to this lazy boy.
So the old man wanted to come to Chen Ling to get close to him and ask him about shipbuilding. Someone wanted to push the millstone and went to his house to find him.
"Just go."
Chen Ling really had nothing to do in the morning, so he stood up with his son in his arms and walked towards the wheat field with Hei Wa following behind them.
After leaving the orchard and walking to the dirt road, Wang Lai came over and whispered: "I'm telling you, Ha Fugui, even if these two young people don't look for the millstone today, I still have to grind the millstone outside the village." He and Shi Kui took care of it.”
“Huh?”
“Prince Turtle is out of our reservoir, and other places say there is a treasure in our village. Many thieves from other places came over and after asking around, they found out that the professor came to our village last year and went into the mountains. Recently, they are also thinking about going into the mountains."
"I am afraid that they will take advantage of us at night. The stone objects were stolen. Didn't someone come to the village last year to do this?"
Chen Ling frowned when he heard this, thinking that maybe the tomb robber Li Hongqi came here again last year.
This is not necessarily true, that guy has Wang Chunyuan as an insider. I don't know if he was attracted by Lao Turtle recently, or if he has been hiding somewhere and watching Chen Wangzhuang for a long time.
After all, all the treasures of Lao Dao in Donggang have been spread to unknown places, and now the big old turtle has appeared in the reservoir.
It is easy for people to make various associations.
......
The two of them murmured for a while, without saying a few words, when they noticed that the two young men kept peeking back at them with strange eyes. Then he stopped talking.
Chen Ling also smiled at them: "Have you not filmed your scenes in Shanzhong Lake yet?"
"Huh? No, not yet."
"We are supporting actors, and our scenes have already been filmed. I just finished shooting. I just saw the beautiful scenery and comfortable living here, so I just want to stay a few more days."
When Chen Ling heard this, Wang Laishun felt as if he had eaten honey. He felt comfortable and laughed twice: "Then play for a few more days. In half a month and twenty days, the wild fruits in the mountains will be ripe. Mulberries, wild strawberries, and goat's milk are better than what you have eaten before." Those dried fruits taste good.”
The young couple’s eyes suddenly lit up and they looked at each other, really looking forward to it.
However, after arriving at the wheat field, I wanted to install a stone roller, but I couldn't find the matching stone rollers. They were too light. Old Troublesome's house next to the wheat field actually had a big stone roller. It is said that he replaced it with that thief Li Hongqi last year. .
I had no choice but to think that these people had made the villagers a small fortune, so I went to the village to search, and finally found a large stone roller from Chen Yongsheng's house.
This was brought back by Chen Gannian, and it has not been used for more than ten years. Moss had grown on one end, and when he rolled it out, there was a deep pit underneath and a nest of scorpions hidden there. What a surprise.
Chen Yongsheng immediately took out his chopsticks and pocketed the scorpion. The two young lovers were frightened and a little eager to try it, especially when they heard Chen Yongsheng cheerfully telling Chen Ling to use the scorpion as a meal. When he was pouring the pot, his eyes couldn't help but shine with a strange light.
I thought: There are so many delicious things in this place, but I don’t know what this scorpion tastes like. Is it delicious?
...
A wooden frame was installed on the stone roller. Several people used ropes to pull the big stone roller, rolling it on the ground towards the threshing field.
Chen Yongsheng and Chen Gannian also followed to join in the fun.
While walking, Chen Yongsheng asked: "Fugui, how many batches of pickled eggs have you sent out this month? There are so many people on the reservoir these days, it's very congested, and we haven't seen anyone from Li Xian's house. The third son-in-law drove over.”
“Yeah, there are a lot of people outside the village these days, so I’ve delivered the salted eggs twice this month. I’ve already made a batch. Come back in the evening when you have time, when the crowds have dispersed and the car can drive into the village.”
Chen Ling held her baby in her arms, a few steps behind them, and walked with Chen Gannian.
This confused old man drank several cups of tea and a cup of medicinal wine last year. The times when he was confused became less and less. Sometimes he was awake for half a month and twenty days in a row. I have to say that this It was also an unexpected surprise.
This old man was very close to Chen Ling's father. When he was confused, he would often mistake Chen Ling for his father.
Of course he was also kind to Chen Ling, teasing Ruirui in his arms while walking.
Ruirui grinned, exposing her white baby teeth, and lay on Chen Ling's shoulder, smiling non-stop at the old man, but never letting him hug her.
Chen Qiannian was helpless.
"Oh, that's right. People have dispersed at night. It's good to drive in and walk at night sometimes."
Chen Yongsheng nodded and added, "You're rich, this is so salty. Do you think we can do the job of raising eggs? If possible, we will follow you, just like fish farming. You will be the leader for us, and we will set up a breeding factory like in the countryside. "
"Well... If you are capable of this job, you can do it. Even Uncle Yongsheng, don't think about farming like fish farming and making money by the way."
Chen Ling smiled slightly: "When it comes to raising chickens, ducks, and selling salted eggs, I won't be sloppy with you. After all, if you want to do it, I can't stop you, right?" "That's the truth. I'm looking at our village. Doesn’t every household raise chickens and ducks? It’s just a matter of chance to set up a smaller breeding factory, just from a dozen to one or two hundred.”
Chen Yongsheng chuckled, and Wang Laishun, who was pulling the stone roller in front, also hurriedly listened.
Chen Ling knows how to make money, and he can also make the pickling of salted eggs very popular, which has attracted the attention of the villagers.
As a party secretary, he couldn't help but feel excited.
I want to learn from others and learn how to recite this sutra for getting rich.
"This is not a casual thing. Fish farming can be raised incidentally. Once poultry such as chickens and ducks reach a large scale, they cannot live without people. In addition to the epidemic at this time, we also have to guard against harm. Think about it. Let the chickens and ducks lay more eggs, and they have to be fed and watered frequently, and they have to be looked after all the time. It is not an ordinary tired thing.” I always worry about this matter.”
Chen Ling told the truth, and the pros and cons were clearly explained to them.
"How about instead of setting up a breeding factory and raising them like you do?" Chen Yongsheng asked again.
"I covered the mountain, and there were dogs watching. Most people can't learn from it." Chen Ling shook his head and smiled.
When Chen Gannian heard this, he couldn't help but glared at his eldest son: "Fugui still has the leisure to hold the baby and go out to play. You have raised chickens and ducks, even if they are raised in the mountains like Fugui, do you dare to go out and play with ease?"
“Hey, let’s put it this way, this is really not going to work.”
Chen Yongsheng slapped his hands and said helplessly: “How can our dogs be as smart and capable as the dogs from rich families? It’s good to let him watch the chickens and ducks, and not eat them secretly.”
Chen Gannian glanced at him: “This is incredible, it’s great if the rich can help you raise fish, and you want to follow them in everything. Study and make all the money? Do you have the ability?"
Wang Laishun in front also shook his head and sighed. It is true that it is easy to make money, but it will not be possible for someone else.
"Da, that's not what I meant..."
Chen Yongsheng hurriedly explained, and then said to Chen Ling: "Oh, Fugui, I'm not jealous of you. In fact, if I want to make money, I can go out to work with them, but I can't bear to leave this family. , I made some money by setting up a stall in the reservoir, and the crew that came to you also made us some money, so I was thinking about what kind of business I could do in the village without going out."
"I understand, I understand."
Chen Ling doesn't mind others learning from him. If you ask about people who raise fish or pickle salted eggs, Chen Yongsheng is no different.
Only your own pattern cannot be copied.
Others cannot learn it even if they want to.
In this way, while talking nonsense, he pulled Shi Lei to the wheat field.
A lot of outsiders have come to the village recently. They not only play in the reservoir, but also come to the village to hang out.
Seeing this scene, it looked fresh, so I followed it.
There was also the little kid who was not old enough to go to school, holding a small whip and a branch, following the big stone roller, cracking the whip and beating it while laughing.
Hun mistook Wang Laishun for an old donkey.
It made everyone who came over burst into laughter.
Wang Laishun, who glared with straight eyebrows and turned around to get angry, couldn't help but stretch his brows and smile. He just laughed and cursed: "Go, go, little monkey, be careful if you mess around again." Tie it on your crotch.”
The adults suddenly laughed even more.
There were also a few people who were as confused as the young couple, not knowing what this Luqi was.
Chen Ling said that this was another name for Shi Kui. In fact, Shi Kui was often called this name at first.
For example, there were Laluqi programs in Tokyo during the Song Dynasty.
Just like the dialects in many places were once the official dialect, they gradually stopped being called this.
This is what they call it. Luze does not pronounce the sound "Lu", but pronounces the sound "Liu", which is also the orthodox name that has been preserved.
After listening to Chen Ling's explanation, the group of people suddenly felt very knowledgeable. Then the outsiders who followed also rolled up their sleeves to help rinse the stone roller and stone roller, wipe them with cloth, and then they were seven He lifted the stone wheel with all his hands and feet and placed it on the grinding plate.
Wang Laishun took the grinding frame and the roller stick and installed it. He called the young couple and pushed it, and the roller started to rotate squeakingly.
"Put the food, put the food..."
A group of little children crowded in front of the adults. They felt that pushing was not enough, so they clapped their hands and shouted.
Rui Rui, who was in Chen Ling's arms, was also babbling and shouting along with them.
Although it was vague, I could really spit out one or two decent words.
"What do you want to crush?" Wang Laishun asked the two of them.
"What can this grind? Can flour be grinded?"
"Yes, it can grind any kind of flour, including corn, wheat, sorghum, millet, sweet potato... you can grind whatever you want. "
Many outsiders who were watching also wanted to get involved and try this new thing. When they heard what Wang Laishun said, many people couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Wang, this sweet potato can also be ground. "Food?"
Before Wang Laishun said anything, someone replied: "Why can't sweet potatoes be ground into flour? Not only sweet potatoes, but also hay can be used to grind flour. When there is a famine, this elm tree can grind flour." People are rushing to eat the steamed buns. ”
When everyone took a look, they saw an old man with scars on both cheeks. He was Chen Gannian, the fourth grandfather of the Chen Ling family.
The old man was born before the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was well-informed and could calm people down with just a few words.
A group of young people gathered around him and asked questions.
"Is there a famine even though there are mountains and water here?"
"Why not a famine? In bad years, people in the mountains also suffer a lot. When there is a drought, the food harvest No, there are still people fleeing from outside hiding in the mountains, looking for food, and it’s very chaotic.”
"Ah? Why are you running into the mountains to escape famine?"
"The villages in the mountains are small, the population is small, and there is not much food to eat. People outside think that there are so few people in the mountains, three or five families, How much food can you eat while guarding such a big mountain? You must have a lot of food stored there. You will definitely not be hungry when you go there. "
"Why don't you eat fish and go hunting in the mountains?"
"You kid is asking, in a drought year, there is no water in the river, where are the fish, and when it comes to hunting, all the wild things are gone, birds, beasts, people are also smart, know you This place is bad. There is no food left. Why don’t you go somewhere else quickly and wait to die of thirst and starvation?”
Chen Gannian was speechless. These dolls were gone at first sight. I have endured hardships and asked all kinds of questions.
The old man's behavior irritated many young people. They felt that they were not incapable of enduring hardships, so they asked to try the elm bark steamed buns eaten during the famine years. But now, who is not smart enough to handle that stuff? In the end, they only made some. Dried sweet potatoes are used to grind flour for their fun.
This group of people worked very hard to push the mill, and they all had a good time.
Not to mention the sweet potato noodles that were ground out in the end, which were dark and steamed buns. It's also dark, and after one bite, you will directly doubt your life.
I won’t say it even if it hurts my throat. It’s hard to swallow.
Many people burst into tears after taking two or three bites.
Chen Ling couldn't help but laugh and cry when he saw this scene. It was really like a large-scale scene of remembering hardships and remembering sweetness.
Look, aren’t you all moved to tears?
