My 1995 Small Farm

“Brother-in-law, you don’t know how much money I have saved these days. It’s more than what I spent catching scorpions and selling them in the summer.”

At the school gate, Wang Zhenzhen took the food. Before he said a few words, he eagerly flipped through his pockets to show off to him.

 Chen Ling smiled when he saw this and reached out to pat her on the head: "If you save so much money, just put it in your pocket, and you won't be afraid of accidentally dropping it."

"It's okay, it can't fall off. My trouser pocket girl made me a big one. It can be used to hold clay **** and **** for beating monkeys. It can hold a lot of money."

Wang Zhenzhen smiled, and then he took out a handful of money notes, all tied with small rubber bands, and waved them at Chen Ling in his hand, "Second brother and sister-in-law of Gangbong won't let me take them, so give them all to one dollar." It’s two yuan in change. Look, it’s a lot, right?”

"many."

Chen Ling nodded and smiled: "I'll pick you up after school this afternoon. My parents and your sister miss you. You're selling spicy chips with your second brother and sister-in-law, and you don't even say you're going home."

“Ah, I can’t go back now. My second brother and second sister-in-law’s spicy strips are selling just right. I want to help them and save money.”

The little girl clutched the money tightly, stuffed it back into her trouser pocket, and shook her head tossing the two pigtails back and forth.

 Chen Ling was speechless: "Why are you saving money? Our family is short of everything!"

 “I won’t tell you yet.”

The little girl shook her head with her mouth tightened.

As soon as he finished speaking, the school bell rang, students poured out of the classroom, and the campus suddenly became lively.

There were several little boys and girls who turned their heads and looked around twice, then their eyes lit up and they ran towards the school gate.

Haunted while running: "Wang Zhenzhen..."

 “get out of class is over, brother-in-law, I’m going to play.”

Wang Zhenzhen turned around to look, immediately waved his hand to Chen Ling impatiently, turned around and ran towards those classmates.

Those students were still looking back three times, looking at Chen Ling with their eyes.

“Wang Zhenzhen, that must be your brother-in-law. I saw the big horse behind him.”

 Chen Ling looked at them, smiled slightly, waved gently, turned around and led the horse away, going to the yard in the south of the city to see Wang Qingzhong and his wife.

 When we arrived at the courtyard in the south of the city, before we even walked in the door, a strong scent of chili oil wafted over our noses.

 After opening the door, the rich fragrance makes people want to sneeze.

Wang Qingzhong and Guo Xinping were busy in the yard wearing headscarves.

 “Eh? Lingzi is here?”

“I heard that there are wolves in the mountains. Your sister-in-law and I were planning to go back at noon. Is everything okay in the village?”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. The wolves that came down the mountain have been beaten away. The village has gone to the mountains to kill wolves this morning.”

Chen Ling let go of the little green horse and walked over to see the achievements of the couple over the past few days. He also twisted two red spicy slices stained with spicy oil and tasted them.

After two bites, Chen Ling couldn't help but chew faster and faster, and gave a thumbs up: "Good guys, second brother and second sister-in-law, you can do it. The taste is much better than at the beginning."

I have to say that if this person wants to make a business, he still has to taste the sweetness from the very beginning.

 Once you have the motivation, you will figure out how to save trouble and scale production later.

"Hey, I can't let you teach me for nothing, right? I've done this a lot, and I'm done."

Wang Qingzhong chuckled.

Guo Xinping also had a bright red face and said with a smile: "These spicy strips are selling well. Your second brother has been so happy that he can't sleep these days. Wasn't it last night that he made all the saved bean curds in the east room? It’s spread all over the floor, and this guy can sell it for several days at a time.”

 Chen Ling laughed after hearing this, "I accidentally got bigger and bigger. It seems I have to tie two dogs here, so that the thieves won't worry about it."

Wang Qingzhong said: "Others know about you and generally don't dare to come."

As he spoke, he whispered to Chen Ling with some hesitation on his face: "Lingzi, there is one more thing I want to ask you. I have been approached by several small shops in the school..."

“Huh? I want to get the goods from you, right? This is normal. What’s the price?”

 Chen Ling was not surprised to hear this.

 The owners of small shops opened in schools have always been very smart.

  Often wandering around in the morning market or market.

 When you see something new, buy it.

Take it back and try to sell it again.

 The schools in surrounding counties and villages are not large in scale, and their investment costs are also very small.

Even if you don’t make money, you won’t lose money.

 And spicy strips are so popular among students that they can obviously sell well.

 It would be strange if they let it go.

 “They said they would get the goods for five cents each.”

Wang Qingzhong said: "I think the price is profitable, but the profit is very small, but it is very simple to make this thing. Even if we don't teach you, if people buy it and try it a few times, they can always try it out."

“Well, yes, there is really no technical content in the tofu skin spicy strips...but even if you pay for five pieces for 10 cents, the profit is really small, so we only sell two pieces for 10 cents...”

Chen Ling shook his head, remembering that the situation of soybeans later was not optimistic. The price would rise or not, and the cost of soybean skin would become higher and higher in the future, so he said, "Ignore them for now. You and your sister-in-law will make it yourself first, and we will sell it ourselves first." Yes, I will send a few packages to Liu Jiancheng in two days, his store is much more reliable than the store here."

At the small shop in the school, you only get one or two packages, and each package only contains more than two hundred or three hundred spicy slices.

 The profit of this thing is inherently small.

 If you supply goods to small shops, you can sell them faster, but if the profits are cut in half, it’s exhausting, so it’s better not to do it.

“Hey, okay, let’s sell it ourselves first, so that we can save worry.”

Wang Qingzhong breathed a sigh of relief. He was mainly afraid that Chen Ling would think that he was too timid to expand his business.

When someone comes to pick up goods, he hesitates and misses the opportunity.

“Yes, let’s not be in a hurry now, let’s get familiar with it first. There will be a machine later and it will be made with white flour, which is much better than this.”

 Chen Ling said with a smile: "I haven't seen Brother Jusheng and his family, they are still having a little fight now."

“Hahaha, Lingzi, you don’t know. Now they are joking that Jusheng and the others are making money, not to mention whether they are making money or not, but they are supporting the freight station.”

“That’s right, they are indispensable for delivering everything to the city, even the cannery uses their cars.”

 Chen Ling thought of the little sheep who had been busy recently. This kid was indeed a capable career material. He would seize opportunities and be willing to endure hardships. Although he was a bit dull and stupid in his worldly manner, it was not a big problem. On the contrary, Wang Lixian became more and more attracted to this third son-in-law, whom he had always disliked.

"This is also because the road has been built. If you want to get rich, you must build the road first, and you still have to finish building the mountain road going out."

After a brief chat, Chen Ling hurried back to the village without stopping. There were quite a few people affected by the water monsters and wolves in the past two days on the road.

 Many women carry baskets full of fire paper incense candles to the temple to burn incense.

Many of them thought that the Turtle King did not come out when there was a water monster, and they were worried that they would no longer be protected by the Turtle King.

 There are many people from the countryside and county towns who go to the waterside to burn incense.

 Chen Ling saw it and said nothing.

In the past two days, people in several nearby villages have indeed been in panic, especially the elderly, who don't feel very at ease.

“…There are too many wolves, just drive them away.”

 Chen Ling said in his heart.

 In the past six months, there have been too many wild beasts running from the mountains.

The familiar wolves in their own home, such as the descendants of Hei Wa, and the little foxes, can no longer be seen.

 But Chen Ling knew that they were still there.

Hei Wa and Xiao Jin often have nothing to do at home and go running and playing in the mountains without their supervision.

 Just go find them.

 “What are you doing here, rich and noble?”

“Oh, I went to the city to make a phone call. Uncle Wu, what are you doing?”

When Chen Ling passed by the entrance of the village, Wang Laishun, Lao Niwai and a few young boys were driving two donkey carts towards the dam.

“We will also go to the county and bring back some cannons. The mountains are not quiet now, so we have to set off some cannons at night.”

 Wang Laishun said.

I dare say that all the remaining cannons in the village were fired last night.

We will continue to arrange for people to keep vigil tonight, and we still need to prepare for the firecrackers.

Chen Ling pondered for a moment.

Xin said: "I also learned how to use wild boar cannon in the Miao village. Let's see if they can use it. If so, it will be my turn to keep watch at night. I will get them a few rounds."

 …

 The atmosphere in the village has been tense these two days.

It gets dark early now. Due to the current situation, students from other villages come to Chenwangzhuang to go to school. The teacher allows them to only come to study for half a day every day.

 The teacher will give them extra lessons later.

In short, the atmosphere in Chenwangzhuang is very tense, and the atmosphere in the surrounding villages is also very tense. The children are not allowed to run around and play.

 Only two little devils had the leisure to run around in the village.

 They don’t know what they think.

 This afternoon, Chen Ling was wearing leggings at home and preparing to go into the mountains.

 Two people actually came over to buy fish again.

 Chen Ling was in a hurry to go into the mountains to hunt wolves and didn't bother to pay much attention to them. He just fished a net of common fish for them in the ditch next to the lotus pond and sent it to them.

The two men said nothing, gave the money, took the fish and left.

That hurried look on his face made Chen Ling murmur a little.

 “It’s really not like buying fish to eat.”

“Take it back to study? You won’t be able to learn anything from that thing!”

 Chen Ling couldn't help but think about what Little Sheep said about meeting these two people at the provincial capital university. She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Just shouldered the gun, shouldered the hunting knife, took the dog and the eagle and set off.

 At noon today, Dujuan’s family came back from going to Yaowang Temple to burn incense.

Wang Susu was entertaining them at home and couldn't take care of Chen Ling.

 Chen Ling sneaked out.

However, this time he went into the mountains, what was different from before was that in addition to bringing a dog and an eagle, he also took a horse with him this time.

　　　Not a little green horse.

 But a black draft horse.

The packhorse has a short and lean body, and is good at walking on mountain roads, and it is no problem to climb over mountains and ridges.

Yu Qian, the packhorse, collected such a group of people in the mountains. After returning home, he still didn't come to take them away, so he could use them.

 Passing by the Tutu Temple, lighting incense, and heading up the west mountain.

 After entering the mountain, Chen Ling put a wolf skin on the pack horse and hung two pieces of fresh **** wolf meat. There was still wolf blood on the pack horse's hooves and buttocks.

 Just walking in the mountains with such arrogance.

 He wanted to verify whether what the friend said on the phone was true.

 What disappointed him was that after walking for a long time, there was no movement.

 Chen Ling thought of the people in Jinmen Village who praised Heiwa Xiaojin, so he took the two guys into the cave.

　　A man leads a horse and goes north and west.

Specialize in finding desolate and dark places.

When he saw the forest, he burrowed into it, chopping the branches of the shrubs with the woodcutter in his hand, making constant noises.

Just like that, after not walking for long, about ten minutes, the packhorse began to grunt uneasily and pant heavily, and was a little afraid to move forward.

 Chen Ling was suddenly surprised and delighted: "These wild beasts in the mountains...are really afraid of the two Hei Wa?" (End of Chapter)
