My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 316 Harvest Kwai and go to the city

  Chen Ling has been very busy these days during the National Day holiday.

   There was nothing else to do except to accompany my father-in-law into the mountains, to pick up two baskets of medicine, and to give food to Han Ninggui and others.

   As for Han Ninggui and others, after the National Day, the investigation work and the research work on the miasma valley have come to an end.

   But after they came back from the mountains, they wanted to rest and couldn't get a good rest. They only rested for half a day, and Chen Ling helped them pick up the strong men to collect sunflowers.

   They are not reluctant either.

   This guy, people go to the mountains all day to deliver meals, tinker with the food, and they also take care of them when they come back. Naturally, they have to do some work for them.

   Of course, they are not the only ones working.

   and some people from the village also came to help, and a large group of people spent three or four days in a lively manner, and finally finished collecting the sunflowers.

   "Fugui, it's time for you to buy two agricultural machinery."

At the dinner table that day, Han Ninggui said: "It doesn't cost much to buy agricultural machinery now, a tractor only costs five or six thousand yuan, and a tricycle for agricultural use is only more than four thousand yuan, which is not a big deal for you. "

   "Well, it's time to buy it. I use it a lot here, and it's troublesome to drive someone else's."

Chen Ling was eating, nodded, put down his chopsticks and said, "But don't be in a hurry, wait until I go to the city to buy the TV first and then go to Wangbacheng to buy a tractor. Is it just time to plant wheat? I can also buy the machine and so on, so this year, it will save effort.”

   Before harvesting sunflowers this time, he went to the melon seed factory in Huangni Town to ask.

  The price seems reasonable.

   After collecting it, just drive the tractor and pull it over.

But let’s face it, there are too many tractors that can’t be finished in two trips. The tractor is too old, and the machine has some small problems. It delays work too much. In the end, I went to the county to find two freight cars from Sun Yanhong. Just finished pulling the sunflower.

   "I heard that Brother No Xian, rich people have to buy not only TVs, but also tractors. This must be a lot of money this year. You have to work harder, build more greenhouses, and try to buy a tractor next year."

   "Tractor? Forget it, I don't have much stuff in my shed, and I don't go far. A donkey cart and an ox cart are enough at home, but it's not worth buying a tractor."

  Wang Lixian shook his head, the tractor is a big lump that burns money.

   It is useless to spend thousands of dollars to buy it back.

   And as long as the machine is turned on, it will cost money. After all, the machine needs to burn oil, but not every step is burning money.

   How can such an expensive iron animal be comparable to the big domestic animal?

   It's not as comfortable as livestock, and you spend thousands of dollars on a loss-making business?

  Don't buy, don't buy.

   "Brother Xian doesn't buy it, but Yuqiang can. He earned money by working part-time last winter, and he can make a lot of money this year. Buying a tractor is not a problem."

   "Go, go, go, and go, I also call making money? Comparing with Uncle Fugui, it's a fart, and you also buy a tractor, just pull it down."

  Chen Yuqiang waved his hand, not wanting to say more.

   Those who go out to work seem to make a lot of money, at least 200 yuan per month.

   But this is not a work all year round, it is extremely unstable.

   Not to mention that he has to go back to work for several months every year.

  Although crops can be sold for some money.

   But earning 2,000 yuan all year round is a lot.

   Not to mention the tuition and miscellaneous fees for children, the elderly to see a doctor, etc., it costs money everywhere.

   This is because the high-voltage wires were installed last year, and you can watch TV in the village, but not many people buy TV.

  The poor are reluctant to spend money on such useless things.

   Moreover, the thoughts in the minds of many people in the mountains have not yet reached the time to pursue an entertainment life.

  The biggest dream is to eat meat every day.

   This is not an exaggeration at all.

For example, in the past two years, Chen Ling often went to Chen Sangui to do carpentry work. What impressed him the most was that the old man did not turn on the lights when it was dark. As soon as he shouted, the old man did not sleep in the room, but sat alone on a rattan chair in a daze.

   And such a person is not just Chen Sangui.

   Looking for Chen Guoping and Mrs. Xiufen, both are like this. When guests come, they turn on the lights and talk and talk about things in the dim light.

   When the guest left, he quickly turned off the lights.

   To eat at home, I just light a kerosene lamp.

   As for candles? It is also not ordered, it is not resistant to burning, and it is not cheap without kerosene.

  The older generation, or the people in the mountains on their side, are frugal to the core.

   It's not that money can't afford to buy many things, it's that people's thinking here hasn't changed, and tractor TV sets are just expensive, and there's nowhere to buy them.

   It's like a big brother who doesn't understand why some people in the city buy a set for tens of thousands of dollars.

   After living in the countryside for so many years, they have long been accustomed to the life of sunrise and sunset, accustomed to the life of sleeping after dark, and accustomed to the dark night, and they do not feel bored or lonely.

   This is unimaginable for people who have been baptized by mobile phones and computers in the information age.

  Chen Ling was extremely uncomfortable at the beginning of returning to this era, but then gradually calmed down and enjoyed this peaceful and tranquil life.

  However, compared with others, he is not frugal. He uses everything he wants, and the lights are on for as long as he wants, and Wang Susu does what he wants.

   "Hahaha, in the end we have to watch Fugui. Let's wait for Fugui to buy the TV back. Come to his house to watch TV. If you want to watch it, come to him. It's not much more exciting than watching a movie in the village."

   "If you want to watch TV, you have to bring something for Fugui."

   "Why, my uncle Fugui is not a stingy person."

   "It's not stingy, but think about it, there are so many good-looking women on the TV, and the rich and the rich must not be hugged at home. If you come to join in the fun, he must be unhappy."

  “…”

   Hearing them talk more and more vigorously, Chen Ling's face darkened: "Let's schedule me less, or else I will buy the TV and don't watch it alone."

   "Don't, I didn't say it. It was Shuiwa who started it. Don't let him see it then."

   A group of people are laughing and laughing. Today, there is no daughter-in-law to follow, so it's easy to talk on Chen Ling's side.

   Then he asked Chen Ling when he wanted to go to the city.

   "Leave tomorrow, then go to the city with Uncle Han and the others and take their ride."

   "Hey, this is good, very convenient."

   This time it was Chen Ling who went out on his own. After all, the children were still young, so he had to take their mother and daughter out, and it would be inconvenient to have any troubles on the way.

   After all, there are a lot of road fighters these days.

   He is also at will by himself, he just leaves as soon as he wants to, there is not much to think about.

   "The boiled melon seeds are out of the pot, try it."

  Wang Cunye walked over from the back of the farm holding a bamboo sieve.

   "Oh, boiled in broth, these melon seeds smell delicious."

   Everyone smelled the smell of the melon seeds wafting out of the bamboo sieve, and suddenly wanted to drool.

   "That's for sure, the broth is the most delicious."

  Professor Han's group, and Wang Lixian's group, the two groups did not wait for the melon seeds to dry, so they each grabbed a handful and tasted it, and the bamboo sieve went down more than half.

After    tasted it, I found that the melon seeds tasted good.

   It has both the aroma of meat and the delicious taste of fresh melon seeds. It feels very fragrant when you touch the skin of the melon seeds, as if you are eating meat.

   This is the beauty of boiling melon seeds in broth.

   In fact, no broth is used, only the seasoning for cooking the meat can be cooked, and the taste of the meat can also be cooked.

   But, such a soup is not as fragrant and delicious as the broth.

   "Everyone eats and eats. I cooked a lot."

  Wang Cunye wiped his hands and sat down.

   "It's okay, uncle, that's enough."

   "Uncle Cunye is too generous. Today we use Tianma to cook our chicken, no wonder it tastes good."

  The end of autumn is the season for digging Gastrodia elata, and Wang Cunye wanted to go into the mountains because of this.

   Because this thing is worth more than ordinary herbs.

   "Brother, do you sell the gastrodia you picked? If you sell it, let the rich and noble take it to the city and sell it for you. The county here can't sell it at a price." Han Ninggui reminded, feeling that it would be a disadvantage to sell in a small place.

"Well, let him take him to the market to sell it. I don't have to deal with it anymore. We also picked some dendrobium before, and we said at that time that such medicinal materials cannot be sold here, and the price cannot be paid. I want to save trouble and sell it to others, and sell it for a lot of money."

Wang Cunye continued to smoke on a pot of cigarettes, and smiled: "Anyway, if you can sell this thing, you can sell it. If you can't sell it, you can make wine at home and make wine. Like those bellflowers, I've made it into wine and handed it over to me. My son-in-law sells it, which is much worse than selling medicinal materials."

  The son-in-law is now making so much money selling wine, and some of these herbs are useful.

   "Uncle Han, speaking of this, my farm sells a lot of styles of wine, do I have to go through any procedures?" Chen Ling heard them talk about this, so he came over and asked.

"This does require formalities, but you can't sell much wine a year now, so don't worry, ask your aunt and uncle, they understand this, and they are all familiar with it, they will do it for you when you want to do it. already."

  Han Ninggui seems to know who Liang Hongyu is, so he said.

  Chen Ling didn't say more after hearing this.

   After that, Han Ninggui and Feng Yi talked about this miasma again.

  Actually, Han Ninggui and the others, after research and experimentation, are not sure whether it is the miasma produced by special ores, but there must be something special under the valley, and they are afraid to dig deep.

   It would be a pity to worry about any irreparable losses.

   "Let's go back and talk about it. Now we have completed the collection of various samples, and biological sampling of various types of insects and plants in the valley. We will wait until we go back for testing and get the results."

  Han Ninggui said this, also looking forward to that magical miasma valley, what secret is there.

  …

   So the next morning, after a simple breakfast, they drove on the road.

For safety reasons.

  Han Ninggui and the others, like Liang Yuemin and Bobcat, came here on spacious and flat roads that took a detour.

   This kind of road is not easy to be blocked. If it is difficult to walk on dirt roads, mountain roads or bridges, it is very easy for someone to set up a card to block it, which is too dangerous.

  Therefore, if you take a detour, take a detour. From the north of Lingyun City to Kuliu County, and from the east of Kuliu County, the mountain becomes lower and the road is wider than Dashanli.

   But it takes time to walk long distances. Starting at 6:00 in the morning, all the way from out of the mountain to crossing the river, through several county towns, from the mountains to the hills, and then to the small plains.

   When we arrived in the city, it was already four or five in the afternoon.

   It was still early, and Chen Ling wanted to get out of the car to go for a walk, but Han Ninggui and the others just kept him for a meal and stayed overnight before letting him leave.

   "After careful calculation, I haven't been to Tiannan for many years. Now, it's really like a lifetime."

  Chen Ling walked slowly on the streets of Tiannan City with his luggage on his back, looking around with his head up.

   There was a lot of traffic along the way, motorcycles, cars, buses, all kinds of whistles intertwined and rang into one.

   became an extremely loud background sound.

   There are also walkers and bikers on the street.

   When you see a stall at the intersection, stop to look and ask for the price.

  The bustling people, accompanied by the current pop music, is really a bustling scene.

  Chen Ling originally wanted to go to the city to sell the medicinal materials first, or to ask about the price of medicinal materials and how the ginseng market is like.

   After doing these things, go around.

   As for the TV, don’t worry, just buy one when you’re wandering around. Anyway, there’s a hole in the sky, and it won’t take up your hands if you find a place where no one is there.

   But after coming here, Chen Ling felt this strange yet familiar atmosphere, as if he was hit by this lively torrent.

  What else is there to do, let’s play first, the dog market and the flower, bird, insect and fish market are not far ahead, so let’s play enough.
