slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 212 Small Changes

The story of Cang Hai playing with the cub in front of the mother bear quickly spread in Sijiaping Village through Shi Jie's big mouth.

However, the response from the villagers was not enthusiastic. After seeing Cang Hai's stupid and bold words, the elders grinned and went to the village to continue to help Akio Matsuda with his work.

The Japanese are unaccompanied in the town, and the folks in Sijiaping Village who can be trusted are the folks in Sijiaping Village, so it’s like looking at the goods yard, loading cars and so on, let the folks in Sijiaping Village do it, even if they are too busy Later, he handed over the power of selecting people to work to Hu Shijie to control. In fact, it is trustworthy.

Hu Shijie showed very good leadership and prestige in this matter. He managed a temporary freight yard in an orderly manner. Everyone's wages were paid to the workers, and they were handed over to everyone in person. Every time they sent a penny, they also thanked the workers for their hard work in a very sincere tone.

In this way, let alone the workers, even the people in the town think that although the Japanese have a bad reputation, they are more reliable in their work.It's not like those small bosses in the counties and towns, when they give him a loose salary, they either deduct this or that, or they delay as long as they can, the deductions are inappropriate.

As a conscientious boss, Akio Matsuda has at least gained a good reputation in the town all of a sudden. I have to say that the little devil has done a pretty good job of selling people's hearts.

As soon as the work was over, the villagers happily returned to the village with three or four thousand yuan.Don't underestimate the three or four thousand. There are two people in the family, which is six to seven thousand. This is equivalent to the total income of the old man and the old lady for a year or two.So when I returned to the village, everyone was naturally smiling and happy.

The folks who came back to the village didn’t stay idle, and the folks who were stimulated by Shi Jie’s 2 yuan went all out to dig up lumps and grasses all over the ground, hoping to find another bug like Shi Jie , Even if you take a step back, you can find someone with [-] yuan. With the mentality of being a little rich, almost no one is at home in the village at dawn. Except for Cang Hai, Shi Wei and Lu Shu, the most in the village There are still Li Liren and his wife left, and one or two old dogs who are not willing to run out of the village.

But after four or five days, this kind of enthusiasm faded a bit. Not to mention the 200 crickets, even the [-] crickets are not so easy to catch. After a few days of busy work, day and night, get a [-] Yuan money?The folks naturally settled this account in their hearts.

Li Liren doesn't have any troubles in this regard. With his first-hand chef skills, his task is to cook. The couple brought by Xu Sheng have to prepare three meals a day. There is no need to try their luck. Everyone has a net income of 200 yuan, so where would they go to catch crickets?

One morning, Cang Hai was picked up from the bed by Lu Shu. He changed into sports clothes and began to run along the village in the morning. As a lazy person, Cang Hai doesn't like strenuous exercise. Even if he moves, he has to be leisurely. Cang Hai likes that kind of exercise, like walking around slowly with a water glass in his hand.

The helpless thing is that Lu Shu is a girlfriend. If she doesn't run with her, she may have to sleep in the living room at night. There is a saying that life is like that, if you can't resist, then enjoy it!

The young couple ran around, and as soon as they returned to the village, they saw Li Liren's old couple unloading things from the three-wheeled motorcycle.

Seeing the work, Cang Hai and Lu Shu naturally wanted to go up and help, Li Liren and his wife were polite, and they went with them.

"Hey, I said Second Grandma Liu, why did your family buy so many instant noodles?" Cang Hai picked up a box of instant noodles and asked curiously.

"The boys from the capital are very hungry, so I just want to make some instant noodles at night, and then cook some marinated eggs. If anyone wants to eat, just soak it in boiling water." Liu Aifen said with a smile.

"Are you planning to open a small shop?" Lu Shu saw a box of salt at the bottom of the tricycle.I don't know how much salt I use for my own use. If I can't use it myself, I will naturally sell it.

Liu Aifen laughed and said, "What are you selling? I just make a small difference between the wholesale price and the retail price!"

"You have a good idea, you have a good vision," Cang Hai praised Second Grandma Liu.

Li Liren came out at this time, and said with a straight face: "What's good, it's not embarrassing enough."

As soon as he heard it, he knew that Li Liren didn't agree with his mother-in-law to do this. He might think that trying to make money from the folks in the village would be a bit embarrassing.

Cang Hai said a fair word for Second Mistress: "Second Grandpa, I don't like to hear that. In the past, the villagers had to borrow a bag of salt if they were short of it. No one wanted to make another trip just because of a bag of salt. In the town, now Second Mistress sells some, that’s great, firstly, it’s convenient for everyone, and secondly, you and the elder can also earn a little money, it’s the best of both worlds.”

To be honest, Cang Hai doesn't like what Second Mistress buys, because Cang Hai is very particular about it. The soy sauce needs to be brewed from pure grains. In the homes of the folks, eight or nine yuan can buy more than two catties of soy sauce.

As for wine, let alone, local sorghum wine is more than five yuan a bottle, in addition to bottled wine, there is also loose wine, cigarettes are also available, but the amount is not large, and the price is not high, of course there are expensive ones, but there are only two. Santiao, Yishui's Ruanzhonghua, you can tell at a glance that it was sold to people like Xu Sheng.

As for other things, there is no need to list them one by one, they are all cheap goods, and now they look like things that are close to rural life.So although the things sold in the small shop run by Grandma Liu's own can't catch Cang Hai's eyes, they are very good for other villagers.

"There are so many counterfeit products on the market now, so don't let the folks poke us in the back when the time comes," Li Liren said.

Liu Aifen immediately became upset when she heard this: "I'm that kind of person? I buy them from serious places here. Look at the production date, and the manufacturer's shelf life is quite long. It's not a sham who came in through a crooked door." product……".

Cang Hai couldn't help being happy when he heard Second Grandma Liu talking about it, but he didn't expect Second Grandma Liu to do her homework.

How many things are there on a small tricycle.The four of them, plus the motorcycle driver, went back and forth two or three times each, and moved all their things into the house.

When he took a break, Cang Hai discovered that the kiln in Grandpa Liu's house had been converted into a simple small shop. There must be nothing on the counter, and the shelves were just a few planks stretched horizontally.

Now Second Grandma Li is happily squatting on the ground unpacking the boxes of goods, and then taking out the things in the boxes and putting them on the wooden shelves.Everything is facing a price list with a price tag on it, and there are actually two stickers next to it, one is WeChat payment and the other is Alipay payment. It really catches up with the times.

Although Li Liren said he was not happy, he still squatted on the ground to help his wife. The old couple worked together very quickly, and quickly filled a board.

"We don't need you, just the two of us can do it. Go back quickly. It's still a bit cold in the morning. Don't catch a cold because you're sweating profusely." Li Liren said immediately when he saw Cang Hai and the young couple ready to help.

Cang Hai listened and pulled Lu Shu: "Okay, let's go back, this sticky body is really uncomfortable."

Pulling Lu Shu out of the kiln, Cang Hai passed the kiln of Hu Shijie's house, and was about to go to his own house from the slope next to Wei Wenkui.

When passing by the door of Wei Wenkui's old uncle's kiln, he saw Wei Wenkui leaving the door with a shovel in his mouth. On the shovel lay the corpses of seven or eight big rats.

"Yo, Uncle Wei, are you the troublemaker?" Cang Hai asked curiously.

Lu Shu was also curious when she saw it, she opened her mouth and asked, "Do all these mice belong to your family?"

Wei Wenkui couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "Where does it belong to our family, I guess the mice in the whole village are here, and I have thrown them away three times this week."

See Cang Hai and the young couple look at themselves questioningly.

Wei Wenkui said again: "Those two Huang Daxians were brought here, maybe it was to repay me. The two Huang Daxians have completely healed. Now they are wandering around the village. As long as they can catch mice, they will be killed and sent to my house. Under the table, they still don’t understand after talking about it a few times, but it’s a good thing, at least the village is no longer full of rats like it used to be.”

"Don't tell me you really didn't notice. I used to see a mouse jumping in front of my eyes at every turn. I haven't seen one these days. These two weasels have made great contributions to the village." Cang Hai thought for a while , Immediately nodded in response and said.

"Why does it sound better than cats?" Lu Shu felt a little strange. In her impression, the weasel was a little expert at stealing chickens. How come all the chickens in the village caught mice instead of stealing.

Lu Shu has never seen the ferocity of the chickens in the village. She grew up in such an adult village, and she doesn't know that the three evils in the village are big roosters besides dogs and geese. Weasels really want to eat chickens in the chicken flock. It's really not an easy task.

Wei Wenkui said: "It's really more effective than cats. The few cats in the village are lazy and become worms. They eat and sleep until now, and there are few who catch mice. It's the two Huang Daxians who are diligent."

The village used to be poor, and there was nothing to steal, so there were not many mice. After the food was available, the number of mice increased. The cats were introduced, but the village was not poor, and the cats had something to eat. Naturally, they didn’t like it very much when they were full. Catch a mouse.

Even if the house where the cats are raised does not feed them, the cats can still steal some food from other people’s houses, such as what kind of fish, even if they can’t steal it, catching fish in the stream is easier than squatting at the door of the mouse hole to guard the mice Some, so now the cats in the village are not only a little bit of 'theft', they are also very good at catching fish and shrimp, and all of them have become second-rate cats who do not do their jobs.

It's a bit like the Australians originally planned to introduce foxes to catch rabbits. Who knew that the foxes stopped catching rabbits when they arrived in Australia, and instead caught Australian native animals, because these Australian native animals are much more stupid than rabbits, and finally moved to Australia. He kicked a stone and shot himself in the foot, the rabbit couldn't control it, and the fox started to flood again.

"I didn't expect that you still hit the right one and caused a lot of harm to the village!" Cang Hai smiled and praised Uncle Wei.

"Okay, I'll go and bury this thing deeply." Wei Wenkui didn't argue with Cang Hai's young couple, and went to the nearby grove with his iron head in his mouth.

Cang Hai and Lu Shu continued up the slope to go home.

Lu Shu asked, "Why don't weasels steal chickens?"

"..." Cang Hai was speechless: "It's not good not to steal chickens? Don't look at the bad reputation of weasels, but they are actually good animals. The staple food is actually mice, not chickens. Stealing chickens is an occasional thing. Books Things are not quite right, it can be said that weasel children’s shoes are notorious in this respect.”

When the two returned home, Shi Wei and Ping An had already started preparing breakfast, choosing vegetables and washing rice. As a new Shanghai native, Lu Shu likes to eat rice, and she would feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable eating steamed buns. Therefore, Cang Hai’s three meals a day are mainly rice, and pasta is only a supporting role.

After taking a shower, Cang Hai started to make breakfast. After breakfast, Lu Shu started to pack her luggage. In a blink of an eye, Lu Shu lived in the village for half a month, and returned to Shanghai to continue working after the holiday was almost over.

Cang Hai has prepared two packages for Lu Shu, which Cang Hai is going to take away with Lu Shu, and the rest of the things are waiting for Cang Hai to take them with him when he goes to the magic capital.

There were not many things, after packing up, Cang Hai hugged Lu Shu and the two of them squatted in the room while watching a movie while lovingly enjoying the rare world of two people.

Just when you were thick and I was thick, Shi Wei's voice came from outside the door: "Cang Hai, someone is looking for you!"
