Rebirth 1988 Farming and Raising Children

Chapter 198 Life Will Be Better
Jiang Ancheng suddenly remembered and forgot about it.

Sure enough, you still need to have a capable assistant by your side at all times.

Jiang Ancheng called Zhang Zhen and asked him to buy a water pump as soon as possible, and then let the workers send it to the mountains.

The current water pumps are relatively large, and the mountain road is steep, so it is quite difficult to transport them.

Jiang Ancheng also repeatedly told him to pay attention to safety.

Whenever something happens to someone, it is a matter for the whole family.

Zhang Zhen hurriedly found someone to arrange it, while Jiang Ancheng planned to drive Sun Miaolan and the child to Fenghuang Town to see if there were any white truffles of the best quality.

Jiang Ancheng looked at Sun Miaolan: "Do you have anything else to do today?"

Sun Miaolan said: "Well, I have to go to the hospital. The doctor said that I have a little anemia and need to be tested at any time."

Since he was going to the hospital, it was inconvenient for Jiang Ancheng to take Sun Miaolan there. After all, the child was more important.

Jiang Ancheng said to Sun Miaolan: "Shall I take you to the hospital?"

Sun Miaolan smiled lowly: "The hospital is so close, I can just walk there by myself, you are busy with your work, don't worry about me, if it is really inconvenient, I will go by car."

Now that she has money in hand, Sun Miaolan has confidence, and she is willing to take a car.

If it was before, she wouldn't be like this at all.

Jiang Ancheng smiled: "Then I'll take Xiao Yu'er and Shuanglin to visit Fenghuang Town."

Sun Miaolan nodded: "Okay, I need to prepare something, I will prepare some for you."

Jiang Ancheng said: "Just bring them some water and food, so that they can fill their stomachs when they are hungry."

Sun Miaolan smiled softly: "Well, I'll go now."

Xiao Yu'er was overjoyed when he learned that Jiang Ancheng wanted to take him to play in Fenghuang Town and ride in the family's brand new car, so he immediately went to find Zeng Shuanglin.

Zeng Shuanglin was two years older than Xiao Yu'er, and Teacher Wei asked for more things to learn.

Moreover, Zeng Shuanglin has an excellent memory and is very smart. Teacher Wei has very strict requirements on him.

When Xiao Yu'er knocked on the door, Zeng Shuanglin was studying elementary school textbooks. Xiao Yu'er explained why he came, and the two children looked at Teacher Wei eagerly.

Teacher Wei smiled helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, I'm still at the age of fun, so you can go together, but, it's still the same sentence, do everything according to your ability, and be sure to pay attention to safety."

Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin said in unison: "Got it!"

The child happily went downstairs, and after a while, Sun Miaolan also came down.

She not only prepared water and food, but also toilet paper and a change of clothes for the children.

What I'm afraid of is that they will go to make trouble somewhere, get dirty and have to change it.

Jiang Ancheng said with a smile: "Watch TV at home, and find sister-in-law Mrs. Wei and the others to relieve boredom when I go out."

Sun Miaolan stroked her puffed stomach: "Well, I understand, you all pay attention to safety."

The car started, Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin were sitting in the car, it was a curiosity.

Along the way, from the headlights to the wheels, I asked them all over and over again.

Jiang Ancheng asked the two of them, "Is riding in a car fun?"

Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin said in unison: "It's fun!"

Jiang Ancheng patted Xiao Yu'er's head: "When you grow up, I will send you to learn how to drive. You are as good as Uncle Long, okay?"

Long Xuan is a veteran. There was an accident at home and he couldn't formally work, so he came to help Jiang Ancheng drive the car.

He is very skilled, not only can act as a driver, but also protect Jiang Ancheng's personal safety.

But his tall and stern demeanor made Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin a little timid.

Naturally, he sensed sensitively that this uncle Long Xuan was extremely difficult to mess with.

As a result, they were very honest when they were glanced at by Long Xuan.

Fenghuang Town is farther than their Caixia Town, and the winding mountain road is very steep, but the scenery and landforms are surprisingly beautiful.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuer saw a row of oyster mushrooms growing on the side of the road, and pointed out the window excitedly: "Dad, there are oyster mushrooms, I saw oyster mushrooms!"

Jiang Ancheng smiled and nodded: "Sit down, don't be dishonest, be careful to knock you out of the car window, there is a cliff below, and Dad can't save you."

Caixia Town is a road paved with cement, and the second half of Fenghuang Town, even the cement road, has directly turned into a dirt road.

They are in the car on the potholed road, which is as exciting as riding a roller coaster.

Especially when encountering a particularly narrow curve, Jiang Ancheng's palms were sweating.

If I had known earlier, I would not have brought the two children together.

In this day and age, it's a good thing that the driver's license test process is troublesome.

Long Xuan's chariot skills were pretty good, and they were safely brought to the border of Fenghuang Town.

Seeing the sign, Jiang Ancheng immediately tortured Xiao Yuer: "What do those words read?"

Xiao Yuer tilted his neck and took a look: "Phoenix Town!"

Jiang Ancheng was a little surprised, in his previous life, Xiao Yu'er still didn't know a single word at this time.

Xiao Yu'er recognized the three words that are so difficult to write in Fenghuang Town.

Soon, there were more and more private houses in the col.

Going forward, you can see many people returning home from the market with their backs on their backs.

The people in the mountains go to the market in the morning, and they have to set off before dawn, and they will return one after another at this point in the afternoon.

Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin saw many children their age, carrying heavy panniers, without even a pair of shoes, stumbling behind the adults.

They are very sad.

Jiang Ancheng saw that many people were carrying mushrooms in their hands, probably going to the town to sell them, but none of them were sold.

Although Jiang Ancheng and the others are buying matsutake in large quantities, they do not go to every region.

Be wary of the cost of time, because the shelf life of matsutake is only three days.

But if you delay for half a day on the road, the price will be greatly reduced.

Phoenix Town is too far away, with muddy roads, trucks will have to drive for at least three or four hours.

That's not counting the loading time.

In case of any accident, this truckload of goods will have to lose money.

Mushroom dealers who don't have a car don't want to collect fungi in such a remote area.

And how many people in Fenghuang Town can consume the mushrooms in the local market, which has led to the fact that the surrounding mountain people have no way to sell the mushrooms.

It reflected the saying, if you want to be rich, you must first build roads, otherwise, you can only look at the mountain full of treasures and no one knows.

Finally, we arrived at Phoenix Town.

There is usually a truck in a small town that attracts people's attention.

Today, a Santana actually came, and the eyes of the men were hotter than looking at the beautiful women.

As soon as the car stopped, there would be dishonesty and constant touching of the body.

Jiang Ancheng directly spent five yuan and asked the two elder brothers to help them watch the car.

After asking the way, I went straight to the only small market in Fenghuang Town.

The mountain people who are a little closer to home also go back later.

Jiang Ancheng and the others are dressed like rich bosses.

As soon as he entered the market street, he was greeted warmly by the uncles and aunts.

Jiang Ancheng took a closer look at their mushrooms, whether it was boletus, matsutake, coliseum, chanterelles, blue-headed mushrooms, etc., the quality was very good.

Especially the matsutake, which does not belong to their Junhua Village quality at all.

If it can be exported, he can buy all these in the market for five yuan a catty.

It's a pity that the traffic is inconvenient. If he wants to do it, he has to build roads.

However, the investment in road construction is huge and it contributes to the country, but it cannot recover the cost by charging tolls, otherwise, it is illegal.

Jiang Ancheng asked about the price of the matsutake, and the old lady was so enthusiastic that she was afraid that he would not buy it, so she just offered a one-off price: "Just give me fifty cents for all of these."

In front of the old lady are not only matsutake mushrooms, but also Yuncheng people's favorite mushrooms, dried mushrooms, tiger's palm mushrooms, etc. If they are placed in the city, they can be sold for at least a dozen yuan.

But she only wants fifty cents!
It can be seen how poor this town is.

Indeed, Fenghuang Town is like the mountains where Phoenix lives. There are only mountains, the land is scarce, and the fungus output is large, so it is not worthless.

Jiang Ancheng took out five yuan, bought all these fungi, and then asked the old lady: "Grandma, don't you have pig fungus here?"

Although Fenghuang Town is poor now, even the buildings in the town are old houses made of wood and mud, but because of the famous white truffle in the future, the people here are rich per capita.

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "It's for pigs, it's not good!"

The old lady was very simple, but she just wanted to tell Jiang Ancheng that the pig fungus was not tasty.

Jiang Ancheng smiled and said, "I just like Suigong fungus, is there any near your house?"

The old lady muttered, probably thinking that there are people who like to eat pig fungus, she immediately said: "Yes, yes, you want a lot, I will go back and dig it for you now."

Jiang Ancheng smiled and asked: "What color is the Suigum suis here? Is there any white?"

The old lady said: "White, yellow, and black are available. When you buy this thing, do you still choose the color?"

The old lady almost wrote on her face that Jiang Ancheng's taste is really strange.

When Jiang Ancheng heard her mentioning that there were white truffles, his face burst into brilliance: "Then can you take us to have a look? We will take them away immediately after digging!"

The old lady didn't look like they were bad people, and there was really nothing in the house that they could rob.

The old lady nodded without hesitation: "Okay, come with me!"

The old lady packed up the bag, and suddenly remembered: "I'm going to the shop in front to get a piece of cloth, why don't you go with me."

Jiang Ancheng nodded: "Okay."

The old lady is going to the street where the cloth is sold. She has accumulated time and has a very local style and landscape.

Jiang Ancheng saw yellow rice cakes on the side of the road.

This kind of glutinous rice is made of glutinous rice, brown sugar is added in it, and the wrapped ginger leaves have a unique aroma, which is the soul of yellow cake.

Let the yellow glutinous rice smell sweet and glutinous, and the aroma of ginger leaves is still lingering.

Xiao Yuer nodded repeatedly, and Jiang Ancheng bought one for everyone, and one for the old lady by the way.

The old lady resolutely refused, but Jiang Ancheng's enthusiasm was overwhelmed, so she carefully put it into the bag.

After a while, I arrived at the cloth shop where the old lady wanted to buy cloth.

This is an ethnic traditional tie-dye shop.

All fabric colors are dyed with pure natural plant juice.

The color is not particularly bright, but it looks very natural and comfortable.

Yuncheng is an area with a lot of ethnic minorities, so Jiang Ancheng and the others have a lot of contact with tie-dye.

Sun Miaolan used to make a special trip to buy white fabrics, pick the freshest grapes of the season, eat the grapes, use the grape skins to get juice, and then dye the white fabrics.

If you want to dye different textures and patterns, you need to tie the marinade with rubber bands or ropes. After the dyeing is successful, you can open it to get a beautiful pattern.

The old lady bought white fabrics for the sake of cheapness.

However, the fabric pattern dyed by the old lady herself sounds pretty, very retro and luxurious.

The pattern is dyed very delicately compared to others.

Hearing the conversation between the old lady and the shop owner, Jiang Ancheng knew that the old lady is an excellent printing and dyeing designer who specializes in printing and dyeing more complicated totem styles for the shop.

Jiang Ancheng came out of the cloth shop with the old lady, and he couldn't help but admire him: "Grandma, you are really good, and you can even take orders from the shopkeeper."

The old lady smiled wryly and said: "There is no way, there is still a big family to support!"

The gullies on the old lady's face were like trials and tribulations, and Jiang Ancheng was very moved by her resolute and forlorn eyes.

When he got to the old lady's house, Jiang Ancheng realized why the old lady was so poor.

Her husband is paralyzed and lying on the bed, and she needs her to take care of everything such as defecating, urinating, feeding and so on.

The two sons, both of whom seem to be in their decades, are morons with low intelligence.

Probably related to consanguineous marriage.

Jiang Ancheng sighed, and rejected the old lady's preserved candy.

The old lady was also worried that Jiang Ancheng would dislike her, so she said kindly to Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin: "There are a few fruit trees behind, you can pick them if you want to eat them!"

Xiao Yu'er and Zeng Shuanglin looked at Jiang Ancheng's color, Jiang Ancheng nodded, and they went to pick the fruit under Long Xuan's supervision.

Jiang Ancheng followed the old lady to dig truffles.

The old lady has two loyal dogs at home, and they look quite old.

Get to work, but don't drag your feet in the slightest.

After a while, there were barks a few times.

Signal to the old lady that there are truffles here.

The old lady quickly dug out a fist-sized truffle.

Jiang Ancheng took a closer look.

Good guy, isn't it the white truffle that he has been thinking about.

He used the knife he carried with him to cut open the white truffle. The white marble-like pattern inside and the aroma stronger than the black truffle all conveyed that it was the top-quality white truffle Jiang Ancheng was looking for.

It is 90.00% similar to French white truffle.

Jiang Ancheng excitedly said: "Grandma, is this the biggest white truffle?"

The old lady was stunned for a moment, "What is a white truffle? Is it a fungus?"

Jiang Ancheng nodded hastily: "Yes, it's the fungus suis!"

The old lady gestured a few times and said, "It's the size of two fists! No one eats it, and I don't raise pigs. It's tiring to sell it, and I don't even bother to dig it."

Jiang Ancheng was very excited, his two fists were so big that they could go to the auction.

Jiang Ancheng suddenly became excited and said: "Grandma, don't worry, life will definitely get better!"

Grandma thought he was a bit strange, and the pig fungus was worthless, so how could it get better.

Unless he keeps coming to her to collect Suigum.
