Fengcheng old events

Chapter 300
Liu Guixin packed up and went to Dandong alone, where the production of succulents is large and the variety is good. .

From home to boarding the train, Liu Guixin was a little apprehensive and excited, but more hopeful.

Hope for the future of this home.

After more than five hours, the train arrived in Dandong.

The cultivation of mangosaurus has formed a large scale here. There are a large area of ​​farmland on the edge of the city, and the red mangosteen hangs on the branches one by one. From a distance, it looks like a small lantern, full of festive.

These are things without a 'master', the price is right, first come, first served, the farmers help pick the baskets, and collect money according to the baskets.They don't care who you are, they take your money away.

Liu Guixin has already inquired about the approximate price, where to hire the car, where to buy the baskets, and how much it will cost to pick the fruits and pack them into the baskets, but he is still a little worried.

I went to the place where the car was hired, talked about a few cars, and then went to the place that sold wicker baskets. I asked the price from house to house and negotiated the price. Only then did I really understand.

She found a small hotel on the edge of the city to stay, and found some food on the side of the road to fool her stomach, and then she went out of the city to see the fruit.

In the Northeast, Xihongmu is called Yangzhuzi. There are many names like this, such as foreign fire, foreign nails, foreign guns, and foreign smoke, which summarize all the things that have been passed from abroad.

Only sunflower seeds are not called that way, but are called 'Mao Ke', which is made by Mao Zi Ke.Because people in the old Soviet Union like to eat this thing, the original species in China, including the North American side of origin, are actually imported from Russia.

The saffron at this moment is not the kind of "nut" later, which can be transported and tossed casually.

At this time, the saffron is still the old Northeast species, the fruit is large and juicy, the sweet and sour is moderately soft and easy to melt, and it can be eaten as a fruit. The bad thing is that it is not easy to transport. Big blisters, not pressure resistant and not long.

Therefore, the temperature of picking is very important, and extra care must be taken when loading the baskets so as not to break them.

Liu Guixin strolled along the endless farmland with a bag on his back. Ripe fruits are only suitable for local sales. For long-distance travel, you should choose freshly ripe fruits. If they are too light, they will turn green, and if they are too ripe, they will be soft.

It was not until the afternoon that she finally made up her mind to choose a piece of land.

The one who forced her to make up her mind was another person who came to receive the goods. She had already met four or five groups in the past half a day. Farmers are simple and honest, and they don’t know how to set prices on the ground. Whoever pays first will get it.

It is impossible for a piece of land to have exactly the same maturity. Some mature early and some slowly. The selection of the land is to find those that are generally suitable. .

After choosing, pay a deposit, and then go to contact the car and wicker basket.

Suddenly, I felt that the business of making wicker baskets was really good. I didn't need to go out and sell them, and I didn't have to worry about selling them.

The number of baskets was estimated by the landlord, who has more experience in selling clothes every year than anyone else, and Liu Guixin also believes it.He doesn't have to lie.

After the car was booked and the wicker basket was purchased, Liu Guixin felt as if he had fought a battle. His heart was at the bottom of his heart, he was enriched, and he was free of anxiety and doubts. He went back to the small hotel to wash and fell asleep.

I've been so tired all day, I haven't slept well since yesterday until now.

Early the next morning, she got up early to wash up, ate a plate (rice fork) casually on the side of the road, and rushed to the vegetable field under her wrapping.

When we got to the land, the landlord was already here, and he was directing several people to clear the cargo yard: that is, to clear out a place for parking and displaying goods on the side of the road in the land, uproot the spinach in this area, and level the ground.

"Brother, when will you take off your belt and pretend?" Liu Guixin walked over to ask the landlord.

"Where is the time? It will take a day or two. I will try my best to let them hurry up. You two are dead. Don't worry, I will hurry up for you, and I will definitely help you straighten up."

"Well, thank you, big brother, I didn't have any confidence in my first year. If it works, I will pull your goods every year in the future."

"That's pretty good." The landlord laughed, and the scars on his face were one by one: "Then I will have a bottom line. The more I plant, the more depressed I will be. There is no plan for digging food from the ground. Everything It was God who gave it to me, and I would worry about it for days when the wind blows."

"That's right, I also came out of the mountains, and my parents also lived by farming. They have been tossing in the fields since childhood, and I understand all of this."

"You?" The landlord looked at Liu Guixin a few times: "It doesn't look like you, have you been here for a long time?"

"Well, in a flash, oops, it's been almost 20 years. I came out of the mountains in 70 years. My family was a soldier. I followed him into the city."

"Then you are a lucky person. These days, you still have to go to the city to live in the city. When you live in the city, you can rely on any government. Where is the girl's hometown?"

"My hometown is here. I was born in Zhuanghe, and stayed here until I was almost ten years old in Benxi. At that time, my father left, and my mother dragged me and my brother, and there was no one to rely on. Son, those who have no house or land will be put into the commune later.”

"Oh, that's not easy. In those years, tsk." The landlord shook his head: "Is there anyone else here?"

"Yes, the house in my hometown was occupied by relatives, and I have an uncle in Qingduizi, who is in his 60s and almost [-]s now. It was not easy to live in those years, and I didn't have much contact with him in normal times. It's been a few years since I moved around."

"That's not it. In those years, it was good to be alive. How could you have the heart to visit relatives, let alone hundreds of kilometers away. It's so easy to go out?"

A helper from the side ran over: "Brother, I think it's going to rain today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pick it off."

"Ah?" Liu Guixin turned his head to look at the sky: "Did you spot it?"

These people who have been working with the soil for many years eat the food given by God, and they are particularly sensitive to the weather, so they will not make fun of it.

"Eighty percent. If it doesn't work out in the morning, it will be in the afternoon. Dare you pick it?" The man turned his head and glanced at the western sky, and took out a crumpled bridge cigarette case from his pocket, carefully He took out a black rod and handed it to the landlord.

The horn of the car sounded, and the delivery of wicker baskets came, and the cart was full.

"Get some mats for boards, spread thatch, and stack them neatly." The landlord yelled and directed everyone to unload the baskets and stack them neatly on the side of the open space.

Wicker baskets are not like bamboo baskets, as long as they are not set on fire, they will not be afraid of any rain or anything. Wicker baskets will lose their shape if soaked in water.

Bamboo doesn't grow here, and bamboo baskets are too expensive.

"It looks like it's going to rain, so don't rush to pick it up." A woman who delivered the basket said to Liu Guixin.

Liu Guixin went to count the money for the baskets: "I'm worried too. You said you've been doing well these few days. I'm going to pick it up and it's going to rain." A little worried.
