sailing in that era

Chapter 4 Foresight
The final result is that after more than ten years of working life, that is, when the three brothers were in college, they helped a little bit, and the rest of the time they lived in a muddle.

In this turbulent age, no matter how bold he is, he will not end up just a migrant worker on a construction site.

Peng Baili encouraged his father, and said with firm eyes.

"Dad, don't worry! I saw the "People's Daily" at our teacher's place. It said, "Be bold and live by feeling the stones." Woolen cloth!"

My father's eyes lit up when he heard what he said, especially since there is no one in the community that has ten thousand yuan households!

After all, it has not been two years since the land was allocated, and it is impossible to have a savings of 1 yuan in two or three years of digging in the soil.

In the next few years, households with ten thousand yuan will be born one after another in the village. In fact, a large part of them are generated through usury.

After hearing Peng Baili's words, my mother also had hopeful eyes, a million-dollar household!
Can't even think about it!
It would be best to repay the more than 100 yuan that my family borrowed over the years.

Later, Peng Baili talked to his parents about the benefits of selling melon seeds and chestnuts, and they all agreed with his suggestion.

It's just that I don't have much money at hand, and if I want to start this business, I need to borrow some more money.

Regarding this, Peng Baili actually already had a general idea in mind, if the matter is completed, the start-up capital will be available.

After a few days of rest, Peng Baili's feet were fine, so he followed everyone else to dig potatoes and helped them carry the dug potatoes with a basket.

The weather is over 30 degrees, and I have to walk with dozens of kilograms of stuff on my body. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

I haven't done farm work for many years, and now I feel this kind of work again, and I lament how hard the farmers are.

In the original time and space, he had been doing this kind of work for many years. When he was in junior high school and high school, he would help out at home whenever he had free time.

This is mainly because the father is not at home all the year round, and many mothers are struggling to do heavy work. I am the boss of the family, who can't do this kind of thing?
"Brother, what are we doing here?"

"Yes, this is Maowotou (place name), there are newly buried tombs of the two officials, and I feel chilly when I see them."

"Just follow along, how can there be so much nonsense!"

After Peng Baili had dug up all the potatoes at home, he came to Maowotou in his spare time. Here was the treasure he was looking for.

Now he holds a sickle, a hoe, and a pannier in his hand.

The three of them walked directly towards the mountain forest. Once they entered the forest, they saw that there were all green trees (this kind of tree is very hard and is a good material for making charcoal), and the ground was covered with rotten leaves, which were thickly covered.

Not long after entering the forest, I saw what I wanted to see.

Wild Tianma!

And it was a large group.

He couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw it, and hurried over to take a closer look.

After confirming again and again that it was wild Gastrodia elata, he ordered his two younger brothers to start working.

"Don't move around, you two, first remove the rotten leaves around, and I'll dig up this Gastrodia elata."

The second brother said a little puzzled: "Brother, what is the use of this thing?"

The younger brother was also curiously asking as he peeled the leaves, "Yes, brother, can this thing be eaten, is it good?"

Peng Baili didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that, this little brother of his was always talking about it!

The wild Gastrodia elata in front has a long stalk, and the whole body is red. There are things like potatoes growing underneath. This is a very precious local medicinal material, comparable to wild ginseng.

He counted more than 30 plants in total, and each plant can be sold for more than ten yuan now. If it is put in 20 years, it will cost at least several thousand yuan per plant.

As for how he knew there was Gastrodia elata here, he knew about it in an incident two years later, that is, two cousins ​​of the second uncle's family passed by here, found this stuff, thought it was worthless, and ate it directly in their own stewed soup.

But at that time, an old Chinese medicine doctor happened to be a guest at their home. When he saw this situation, he told him how expensive wild gastrodia elata was, which made the family regret it.

Afterwards, they went to the place where Gastrodia elata grows and searched around and found one or two plants again. They sold them for more than 30 yuan.

It was because of this incident in his memory that Peng Baili came here to shop for treasures under the curious eyes of his two younger brothers.

In his memory, this was probably the only treasure he could find in the village.

Peng Baili's family can be said to be poor and poor, and there is no value for development. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a way out in the soil.

The land of each family is actually very far away from the residence, and the road to the land is also very difficult to walk. In the case of Xia Yu, the road is full of mud.

There are also many yellow mud fields here, and it is difficult to walk on rainy days.

As for having treasures at home, it is unrealistic. This southwest mountain village is not Shaanxi or the capital, and the cultural heritage is not strong. Several generations of people in the family have been commoners, so don't think about antiques.

In fact, he has also been thinking about getting some Zheergen (scientific name: Houttuynia cordata) to sell these days. In fact, this thing is not reliable. Everyone is not full these days. Zheergen is a good cold dish, and is used by many People use it to satisfy their hunger.

Therefore, the wild Zheergen has long been dug up by hard-working people, and it is a problem to eat it at home, let alone dig it up and sell it!

Thinking about it, he was still drunk. On the first day of his rebirth, he was still planning, such as making a transition in the county first, and then moving to the city.

Then there will be a big transfer directly, and go to the capital of the Great Heavenly Dynasty to develop.

It feels a bit ridiculous now that I think about it.Before his rebirth, he graduated from junior high school and entered a junior college. He graduated after three years of study and then worked as a teacher for a few years. Then he saw many people quit their jobs and started businesses and made a fortune, so he also quit his job and lost a fortune in business. Bottom fell off.

After that, he ran business and worked as an office clerk for surveying and drawing paper.

There were ups and downs all the way, and in the end, I could only say that I could live with it. I bought two houses in the city, one for myself and my wife, and one for my children.

It can be said that he is an ordinary person, and this will not change much if he is reborn.

Unless you work harder to arm yourself with knowledge from now on.

It took the three brothers more than an hour to dig all the Gastrodia elata, and then they rushed home.

When I got home, my mother was cooking, and she said curiously when she saw the three of them.

"What did you do just now? No one responded to my shouts?"

When the brothers usually go out to play, their mother will call out loudly when something happens. Usually they can hear her, and they will go home quickly after hearing her.

Otherwise, you will be punished.

The third child couldn't wait to say, "Mom, we are digging gastrodia elata. I heard from my brother that we can sell it for a lot of money."

My mother said in disbelief when she heard this, "What is Gastrodia elata for selling money?"

Peng Baili Nian hurriedly explained to his mother. As for Gastrodia elata, he could only push it to the teacher. Anyway, he saw it in the newspaper at his home.

As for how to know the source of Gastrodia elata, it was also revealed that it was discovered when collecting firewood there last year.

In this way, my mother didn't ask too much. Anyway, she thinks these are wizards and cults, which are useless.

As for San Xiao, it's up to him to do whatever he wants, and it's not a bad thing anyway.

After my father learned about this in the evening, he became a little interested and planned to take it to the drugstore in the city to see if it could be worth a lot of money.

Now that he wants to start a business, he borrowed from several companies but failed to get any money.

The main reason is that his character makes people doubtful, and it's not that he is so bad, but that he is lazy and leaves a bad impression on people.

At this stage, everyone has been allocated land, and no one is desperately manipulating their own fields. Some people want to work in the fields even with the help of moonlight.

This led to the father who didn't like to work, but he was often pointed at in the village.

If his father was indifferent to this in the past, he still feels a little uncomfortable now.

Although he felt that the Tianma dug out by the boss was not very reliable, he was still willing to give it a try.

Peng Baili also took advantage of the trend and suggested that he also wanted to go and see together, but his father was still unwilling!

This is mainly because if he goes with his father, he can only take the shuttle bus. In his opinion, this thing is too expensive, and the ticket to the city is [-] cents.

If he was alone, he would walk directly to the county seat. If he was in a hurry, he would start walking early in the morning, and he would be back around ten o'clock in the evening.

You must know that the distance from his family to the county is more than 60 kilometers!

A round trip is almost 130 kilometers, who can bear it if a child.

"Master...Master, let's go down to the river and take a bath!"

When Peng Baili was drying Tianma the next day, he heard a voice calling him, and he knew it was one of his nephews calling him.

His name is Peng Cheng, and he is a child of one of his cousins. Although he is a generation younger than himself, they are actually about the same age. Both of them are in the same grade and are in the same class. Naturally, they have a good relationship.

As for him calling himself uncle, this is the custom here. In fact, the word 'ye' is pronounced first.

"Fatty, what are you doing sweating profusely?"

"Hey, I just came back from carrying potatoes on the beam, and now I really want to swim around the entrance of the big cave!"

Peng Baili knew where the Liangzi Shang he was talking about was located in the north direction of the village. To get there, one had to climb uphill and the distance was relatively long. It would take an hour and a half to go back and forth. Of course, this was when he was carrying Yang Yao on his back. .

Peng Baili looked at a few Gastrodia elata plants that had not been dried, and said, "Wait a few minutes, I'll dry these herbs before leaving."

After a while, more than a dozen half-children in the village made an appointment to go down to the river to take a bath together.

There are also several adults among them, and they are all cousins.

The second brother and the younger brother also followed.

They are also quite spectacular on the winding paths.

After more than ten minutes, they came to the bank of the river, and everyone couldn't wait to take off their clothes.

In less than a minute, someone jumped directly into the river, splashing a large splash.

Peng Baili felt that this scene was very familiar, and he often did it in the original time and space. Going down to the river to take a bath has always been the most enjoyable project for him and his friends.
