Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 280 Future Plan, Picking Mulberries

Chapter 280 Future Plan, Picking Mulberries
The problem is that there seem to be too many wild resources now. Even if you have good shrimp farming skills, it is useless. It seems that you cannot achieve the expected income.

Not only is the problem of abundant wild resources of green shrimps, but there is also the problem of transportation difficulties. There is no cold chain transportation in this era, and there are few cold storages in Taibai City, which also leads to some problems.

He plans to raise it this year to see how it goes. If not, next year it will be more difficult to raise Macrobrachium rosenbergii. Compared with freshwater shrimp, which only weighs five or six grams in adults, Macrobrachium rosenbergii is a large shrimp that can grow to one hundred grams, or two taels, in adulthood.

Moreover, it is more difficult to breed, so it should be easier to sell than freshwater shrimp.

"take it easy."

Lin Heng sighed in his heart, turned around and walked out. He was not discouraged. The shrimp pond would definitely make money, it was just a matter of how much.

"Don't you need to feed these shrimps today?" Father Lin asked.

"No, we'll feed them tomorrow." Lin Heng shook his head and pointed at the shrimp on his hand, "Let's get rid of these shrimps."

Back at the house, several people poured out the pound of dead shrimp, removed the shrimp threads and divided it into three parts for everyone to take home.

"Mom, I bought one for each of you." Lin Yue handed over a paper bag. Although he didn't earn as much as Lin Heng, he still had a few hundred dollars in savings, so he could still afford cheap clothes.

"Mom and Dad, these are the summer clothes I bought for you." Lin Heng also took out two bags and handed them to his parents.

"Why are you buying us clothes again? We have enough to wear." Mother Lin blamed.

Lin Heng smiled slightly: "Isn't it normal for me to buy clothes for my parents?"

"That's right." Lin Yue also smiled and nodded.

"This child." Mother Lin didn't know what to say for a moment. She felt like crying but stopped abruptly.

Lin Heng looked at his parents and said with a smile: "Stop eating burnt rice crackers and other things that are not good for your health. Eat as you wish. Only when my eldest brother and I are rich can you enjoy happiness."

Father Lin and Mother Lin opened their mouths. They didn't know what to say for a moment, but they could really feel Lin Heng's wish that they live a long life.

"We're going back. Remember to eat the shrimp at noon." Lin Heng smiled and waved his hand, got in the car and took his eldest brother out of the breeding base.

Lin Heng drove back to the house. Xiulan was handling the bamboo shoots she broke today under the eaves. Xiaoxia was riding a small car in the main room and talking to herself, as if she was humming a children's song.

"I bought everything you asked for, and I also bought two clothes for you and Xiaoxia." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan looked at him curiously and said, "What's wrong with you? Why do you feel a little unhappy?"

Lin Heng was surprised: "You can feel it, it's true."

Xiulan nodded: "Because you always look blank when you are unhappy, and your smile is different from usual."

"Really?" Lin Heng was shocked. He felt like he was not in a daze.

Xiulan nodded deeply: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Nothing, what do you think we'll do if we lose money on shrimp farming?" Lin Heng looked at his wife.

Xiulan tilted her head, as if she didn't understand, and then said with a smile: "Just pay it. Doing business doesn't necessarily make money. It's not like we have never lived a hard life. What are we afraid of?"

"Or do you think I will blame you?" Xiulan looked at him with big eyes.

Lin Heng was stunned for a second, then suddenly smiled, and then said: "Let's go into the house and look at the fabrics and clothes. I bought you another skirt."

"Okay." Xiulan nodded and agreed happily.

The courtyard gate has been locked, and they are looking at their clothes in the bright main room. One piece of fabric is sky blue with light plaid, and there is also a red piece with a peony pattern printed on it.

There is also a green satin-textured bed sheet embroidered with peonies and peacocks, and a pink printed bed sheet.

"How do these look like? Do they meet your requirements?" Lin Heng asked with a smile. This era is almost all of this style, and the ones he bought are already very good.

Xiulan touched the texture, nodded and said with a smile: "I'm quite discerning, these are quite beautiful."

"Let's take a look at the clothes?" Lin Heng said with a smile.

The first is a set of skirts. The upper body is a white shirt with a lapel collar and a yellow rose pattern printed on it. The lower body is a knee-length yellow skirt.

"Such a short skirt?" Xiulan opened her eyes wide, and then said, "That can only be worn at home."

Although she saw many women wearing this in the city, she was still embarrassed to wear it out in the village.

"Would you like to give it a try?" Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Then I'll take it back to the house to exchange for it."

Xiulan took the clothes and went into the house. She knew Lin Heng wanted to see them.

She came out after a while. Lin Heng originally thought she would have the style of an urban beauty, but she already had a sister-next-door temperament, with delicate collarbones that could hold a fish, and her snow-white calves were very dazzling.

"It looks good! Let's wear it like this today!" Lin Heng nodded fiercely.

"Dad, where's mine!" Xiaoxia saw her mother wearing new clothes and wanted them herself.

"I bought it for you to wear tomorrow." Lin Heng touched her face and took out a pack of shrimp crackers.

"Okay~" Xiaoxia agreed happily. For her, food is more attractive than clothes, especially her favorite shrimp crackers.

In addition to this set, Xiulan also has a regular set of gray trousers and a navy striped shirt with a round neck and short sleeves. Xiaoxia, like his mother, wears one dress and one ordinary summer dress.

Lin Heng also bought two sets of clothes. He didn't save much, mainly because he didn't spend much money.

In addition, he also bought sandals, two pairs for each person. A pair of slippers to wear at home, and a pair with a heel and laces for sports.

His parents also have them. Now that the temperature is very hot, wearing sandals will be much more comfortable.

On the spot, all three of them changed into sandals. Xiulan put on purple crystal sandals. Her small and round toes were clearly visible, most of the instep was exposed, and the blue blood vessels inside could be clearly seen on her snow-white skin.

"It's so beautiful." Lin Heng couldn't help but say in his heart, thinking how nice those strappy high-heeled sandals would look on Xiulan's feet.

Xiulan glanced at Lin Heng, packed up her things and took them into the house. She came out and said, "I'll go downstairs and wait for you. We haven't had lunch yet."

"There are shrimps here, they have been processed." Lin Heng took the shrimps to the kitchen and helped stoke the fire. In a short time, three bowls of shrimp noodles were ready.

After dinner, Lin Heng didn't want to work in the afternoon and lay down on the bench to rest. Xiulan took out the cloth he bought and started cutting it to make cushions and pillows.

There was always a slight smile on her face.

Lin Heng knew why. It was because he was happy with the clothes he bought. She is so easily satisfied that even a compliment can make her happy for a long time.

After watching Xiulan make cushions and pillows for a while, Lin Heng got up and went to the study, took out pen and paper and started writing a plan for the future.

He felt that he had been too anxious before. The next forty years were so long, so he could take his time and take it one step at a time. Nowadays, the living standards of households with a household value of 10,000 yuan have been greatly improved, and there is no need to be so anxious in the future.

For now, let’s preserve our strength silently and wait for the trend of the times to truly come before we can ride on the wind.

In the past three years, three nodes have been sorted out. The first one is to buy land. There are several old factories on the southern edge of Taibai City that will be demolished in three years. However, they are now in a state of neglect. He can buy them and use them as land. Feed production will be demolished when the time comes.

This is the latest. Land in the lower reaches of the south of the city and a large amount of land in the north of the city can be purchased. Later, real estate development began. The land in these places can be sold at a high price, and you can even develop real estate yourself.

Speaking more broadly, in the 1990s, investment in Anseong, the provincial capital, and even in big cities such as Shanghai and the capital, will only require simply buying a house. In the future, the value will increase thousands of times, and there will be no loss at all. The more you buy, the more you will earn. The more.

As long as enough original capital is accumulated, wealth is a very simple matter for the reborn Lin Heng.

But he still wanted to do something with his own hands.

In addition to buying a factory building to open a feed factory, Lin Heng is also planning to build a large-scale pig farm in the next two years to raise thousands of pigs.

Because pork is cheap, many people buy it. As the economy improves in the next few years, everyone will be able to afford it. Large-scale breeding can effectively reduce costs and make more money than raising shrimp.

Another point is to cultivate forest musk deer. The price of natural musk has always been very expensive, and selling musk can be regarded as a very profitable industry.

In addition, you can also raise more cattle and sheep, and you can sell them for a lot of money in the future.

In addition, you can also look for those who will rise in the future in these years and invest in advance.

Just like someone who borrows money from a knife, a small investment now will be your network in the future.

After writing the plan, Lin Heng put it in his diary and put it in a drawer. He was not afraid of anyone seeing it. There were only some symbols on it, and no one else except himself could understand it.

After finishing writing, he got interested and picked up Das Kapital to continue reading.

In the afternoon, Mother Lin came back from herding cows and took Xiaoxia out to play. Without thinking, she took Xiaoxia to tell stories to the Murakami children.

"Are you so serious?" Xiulan walked into the study and said with a smile.

Lin Heng hooked his hand at her and patted the empty space on his master's chair: "Come here and take you to see it together."

Xiulan came over and sat next to Lin Heng. The large chair could accommodate two people. She hadn't changed out of the short skirt suit yet, and just when she sat down, she noticed that there was an extra hand on her thigh.

She flipped her hair, put her hand on her chin and looked at Lin Heng with an innocent smile: "Are you taking me to read a book with you?"

Lin Heng laughed: "It doesn't affect reading. Who made these legs look so good?"

Sitting on the chair in the study had a completely different feeling. He even wondered how exciting it would be to sit on the chair.

"I really read the book. The stories in the book are very interesting." Xiulan blinked.

"Yeah, I'm reading too." Lin Heng nodded in agreement, but didn't take his hand back.

After looking at it for a while, Lin Heng's hand came to a place where it shouldn't be. After a while, Xiulan was forced to sit on Lin Heng's lap and read.

Later, she lay down on the Taishi chair, her skirt was lifted up and her chest was wide open. She buried her head like an ostrich, and her neck was red.

Later, Lin Heng wiped away the water on the table, and the two of them sat on the chairs and continued reading, but Xiulan's body was too weak to stand up.

The impact of different environments is too great.

"I will never read a book with you again." Xiulan gritted her teeth and said.

She couldn't understand that she had actually done this kind of thing with Lin Heng on the chair and the table in broad daylight. It was so indulgent. She was blinded by his sweet words.

Lin Heng didn't answer. Don't be obedient when you get an advantage, otherwise you'll get beaten easily.

"Are you going to pick mulberries tomorrow?" Lin Heng hugged Xiulan and asked softly.

Xiulan glanced at him: "You don't raise shrimps anymore?"

Lin Heng waved his hand: "Let's just feed it now. It won't take much effort. I see there are huge mulberries on the edge of the field."

"Okay." Xiulan nodded and agreed. She originally wanted to punish him for refusing to go, but she couldn't help but agree when he invited her.

"That's great." Lin Heng said happily, hugged Xiulan and kissed her.

Xiulan said helplessly: "You still don't want to read the book?" Lin Heng smiled and spread his hands: "Obviously, people are more interesting than books, so I can't read them."

This made Xiulan happy again, but she still snorted softly: "Then you should read hard, I'm going out."

If he didn't leave, Lin Heng's hands would become restless again.

Lin Heng originally wanted to read seriously, but his wife came and sat next to him. She felt soft and fragrant to the touch, and in the end he accidentally went too far.

No longer interested in reading, he got up and walked out. When he came to the backyard, he found Xiulan leaning on the railing and feeding the fish. She seemed to be in a good mood.

"Why don't you continue reading? You're a follower." Xiulan turned her head and asked curiously.

"Come here and feed the fish together." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan looked at him and stopped talking. After feeding the fish for a while, she turned around and said, "If you want to follow me so much, then come over and help cook."

Without giving Lin Heng a chance to refuse, she directly took Lin Heng to the kitchen to cook.

After the two finished cooking, Lin's mother brought Xiaoxia back and had dinner together.

There were also shrimps in the evening, so the three of us were quite satisfied.

"Do you think we can find the cicada now?" After washing her face, Xiulan asked while lying on the bed.

She wanted to go catch cicada monkeys with Lin Heng.

Lin Heng shook his head: "We have to wait for a few days. I guess it's not possible yet."

This year, not only can we catch cicada monkeys, but we can also catch scorpions. He went to Anseong to buy ultraviolet lamps.

"Okay." Xiulan puffed her mouth and turned over to lie down.

After Lin Heng coaxed Xiaoxia to sleep, they went to bed to rest together.

Early the next morning, after exercising and having breakfast, Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and said, "I'm going to the breeding base, will you go?"

Before Xiulan could say anything, Xiaoxia hugged Lin Heng's thigh: "I want to go, I want to go!"

"When are you going to pick mulberries?" Xiulan asked.

"In the afternoon, it only takes two hours to go back and forth." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Xiulan nodded: "Then let's go there together. I'll wash my clothes in the stream over there."

After saying that, she turned around to pack her clothes, and the family of three walked towards Hongfeng Mountain with the basket in hand.

When they came here, their parents had just finished breakfast. Mother Lin was going to herd cattle, and Father Lin was going to continue his carpentry work.

Seeing Lin Heng, Lin's father said: "Some shrimps died yesterday, and I fished them all out."

"This is normal. Don't worry. Just throw the fish out and feed it to the fish." Lin Heng waved his hand, walked into the house, opened a bag of peanut cakes, weighed three ounces of peanut cakes, poured them into the basin, and then moved toward the hatching Chi walked away.

"Is this enough enough?" Lin's father asked curiously. He had been studying with him.

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, feeding 3% of the weight of the shrimp is almost enough, as long as they can eat it within two hours."

As he talked, he wet the peanut cake with water, and then sprinkled it in evenly according to the number of shrimps in the grid.

"Let's go, our task this morning is to sprinkle bleach on the boy." Lin Heng said after feeding the shrimps, looking at his father.

Father Lin nodded: "Then I will help you."

The two of them moved the bleaching powder out together, calculated the approximate dosage, mixed it with water, and poured it evenly into each pond. The two of them were busy with the fifteen ponds until noon.

"How do you feed this grass carp pond?" After finishing, Father Lin asked, pointing to the grass carp pond in front of him.

Lin Heng thought for a while and said: "For now, let's just feed you five or six pounds of peanut cake."

It is best to feed grass carp with pellets with good proportions. Feeding them in bulk is very wasteful.

"I know." Father Lin nodded.

Back at the house, Mother Lin had finished grazing the cows and started cooking. Because there were large tracts of pasture, the cows could just let the cows roam freely and then cut the grass to feed them.

Xiulan finished washing her clothes and was playing with Xiaoxia under the eaves. When she saw Lin Heng coming over, she said, "Mom said she would pick mulberries too."

Lin Heng nodded: "Okay, let's go after dinner."

"The rice is ready, just stir-fry another dish." Mother Lin's voice came from the house.

Lin Heng had already put the dishes on the table after washing his hands. They had three simple dishes and one soup, and everyone chatted while eating.

After eating, Lin Heng looked at the big sun and turned around and said, "Are you still going under such a big sun?"

"It's a bit big. Let's wait a while to make it a little cloudier." Mother Lin nodded.

"Let's wait until three o'clock before going." Xiulan also said, the sun was too hot at noon.

Lin Heng nodded and drove Xiulan and Xiang Xiang back to the village. They rested until three o'clock before setting off again with their bags.

Not long after, Lin Heng drove to his destination. There were many mulberry trees growing under the road, and the mulberries on them were black and red.

"So many?" Xiulan asked in surprise.

"Yes, I asked the owner to let you pick whatever you want." Lin Heng nodded with a smile. Needless to say, fruits like mulberries can't be eaten at all. Generally, except for children, they will naturally fall off and rot.

Only a few people will make it into dried mulberries and keep it.

"Dad, can you eat this directly?" Xiaoxia asked curiously, looking at the mulberries on the tree.

"I have to feed you, you can't pick them yourself." Lin Heng looked at her and said, his task was to take care of Xiaoxia, while picking mulberries was the job of Xiulan and Lin's mother.

"Okay, I want to eat it." Xiaoxia pointed at the mulberries and said.

Lin Heng first took Xiaoxia down to the field and to the far side of the road. Then he picked two mulberries that had just turned black, one for each of them.

Those that are too old will have many insects crawling on them, those that are too young are pink and purple and have no taste or are sour. Only those that have just turned black are the most delicious.

Xiaoxia ate one, and her big eyes suddenly turned into small crescents: "It's so sweet!!"

"It's sweet, daddy will pick another one for you." Lin Heng said with a smile. After picking a few fingers, they turned purple.

But he knew a secret to remove mulberry juice, which was to rub his hands with mulberry leaves, which would quickly remove the purple color from his hands.

"I want more~" Xiaoxia acted coquettishly after eating. This mulberry is so sweet that it is simply a child's favorite.

Lin Heng counted and fed her about thirty pills before he dared to feed her more. Eating too much of anything at once would be bad for the body, let alone children.

"Let's pick them and save them for tomorrow. And don't you want to give some mulberries to your friends? Then you can share them together." Lin Heng touched her little head and said.

Xiaoxia thought for a while, nodded and said: "Then I will pick it and give it to Qingqing, she is good to me."

"Watch me pick it for you." Lin Heng picked up the bag and picked it for Xiaoxia.

Xiulan and the others picked fresh ones, then spread them directly on the ground with their film fingers and beat them with sticks. This was much faster than picking them one by one.

After picking, Xiulan came over and said, "I've picked enough. Come over and help me get some."

"This must be in the fifties or sixties, right?" Lin Heng looked at the two big bags of mulberries and said in surprise.

"Absolutely. I originally wanted to play a little more, but I can't hold it in anymore." Xiulan nodded and said.

Lin Heng nodded, handed the two small bags of mulberries he picked to Xiulan, then carried the big bag up, put it away, and helped his mother move it again.

After everyone got in the car, he drove directly home.

Back home, Xiulan and Lin's mother poured out the mulberries and selected them, while Xiaoxia took Lin Heng to find a good friend.

After seeing the person from a distance, Xiaoxia shouted: "Qingqing, I picked mulberries for you to eat."

"Aren't the mulberries not ripe yet?" Yang Qing stopped skipping and asked curiously.

The children nearby couldn't help but drool when they heard this, with longing in their eyes.

"My dad took me to pick it from a long way away. It's so sweet. Come here quickly." Xiaoxia said with big eyes.

"Okay." Yang Qing turned around and said, then ran over to find Xiaoxia.

When she arrived at Lin Heng's house, she was shocked to see so many mulberries: "Oh my God, there are so many."

"This is what I gave you." Xiaoxia pointed to the washed mulberries on the stone table.

Yang Qing was stunned and said in surprise: "Thank you."

"Eat quickly." Xiaoxia said happily.

Yang Qing washed her hands, took the mulberries and started eating. Xiaoxia looked on, feeling the joy of sharing with her friends.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Yang Qing handed over two pills and asked curiously.

Xiaoxia wanted to eat but didn't dare. She shook her head and said, "I ate a lot today. Mom said if I eat more, I'll get a bad stomach."

"Okay then." Yang Qing nodded and ate some cautiously before stopping.

"Take it out and share it with others." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin." Yang Qing took the mulberries and went out with Xiaoxia, and Xiaoxia also told stories to the children in the village.

After dinner the next morning, Xiulan cleaned, steamed and dried the mulberries. Lin Heng cleaned some of them and soaked them in wine. The mulberry wine also tasted very good.

At noon, Yang Qing came over with a lot of raspberries and gave them to Xiaoxia, which made Xiaoxia jump up and down with joy all day long.

Lin Heng's daily life now is to raise shrimps, take his daughter to accompany his wife, and have nothing else to do for the time being. His life is comfortable and stable.

The shrimps in the hatching tank were carefully fed by Lin Heng, and they began to hold eggs one after another two days after returning.

In the blink of an eye, it was May 17th on the Gregorian calendar. On this afternoon, Lin Heng went to see the animals in the back mountain as usual.

"what!"

Suddenly Lin Heng let out an exclamation of surprise, then showed a look of surprise, turned around and ran into the house, calling Xiulan's name.
