Back to 90s she just wants to get rich

Chapter 410 409. This Land Is Nice!
"Grandpa and grandma, we are not allowed to go back tomorrow, and we are not allowed to have a holiday. We must continue to stay in school to make up lessons, and we will not have a holiday until we get the academic report card." After the last exam that day, Xiang Jin and the others were having dinner When she was there, she said to her grandparents.

"Oh, it's okay," her grandparents nodded, and then her grandma said, "Then you still have to study by yourself at night?"

Xiang Jin said, "The teacher is sympathetic, you don't have to go to the evening self-study tonight, so that everyone can relax, but tomorrow morning you have to go to the morning self-study."

Yan Chen said, "We have to study by ourselves at night."

"Your class still has evening self-study?" Xiang Jin was surprised, and Xiang Jin's grandparents were also surprised.

"Yeah," Yan Chen nodded slightly.

Xiang Jin complained, "Then your class teacher really controls you very strictly, and doesn't even give you a little time to breathe, so it seems that our class teacher is still a little human."

Yan Chen said, "We spend the first half of the time talking about the comprehensive test questions that we haven't finished before, and the second half of the time is used for the class meeting."

Xiang Jin immediately changed his words, "Then your homeroom teacher is still a bit human."

Everyone at the table laughed.

Then her grandfather asked, "It will take a week before you get your test report card?"

"Well," Xiang Jin nodded.

Her grandparents were thinking silently in their hearts, and then her grandma said, "Then what time will it be? December 23 or December 24?"

Xiang Jin said, "The 24th of the twelfth lunar month."

"Oh, it's so late?" Her grandma's heart was beating a little, "Then will it be too late for your Aunt Liao and the others to kill the New Year's pig? Didn't you say that your Uncle Tao will come on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month? So? Then how can there be bacon for him to drag back?"

Xiang Jin said, "That's right."

Yan Chen suggested, "Why don't you call back and ask Aunt Liao and the others to slaughter the pig in these two days, and let them marinate the bacon for us, anyway, they all know how to marinate the bacon. How to make it, we go back and pay her when the time comes?"

Xiang Jin frowned slightly, hesitated, "But they are so busy, how can they have time to help us marinate bacon? In the past, your grandpa and grandma had time in the afternoon, so they could still help us, but now they Vegetable picking in the afternoon as well."

Then Xiang Jin's grandparents suggested again, "Well, let me and your grandpa help you marinate the bacon at that time, and we will follow them to pull vegetables, and they will stay there It's almost two hours, and two hours is almost enough for us."

Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, "What do you think?"

Yan Chen hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you, Grandpa Ouyang and Grandma Qiao!"

Xiang Jin's grandma waved her hand and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, we have nothing to do at home anyway, so going out to exercise is also a good thing."

Xiang Jin and Yan Chen also nodded, and then Yan Chen said, "Then I'll call home later?"

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes!" Then she looked up at her grandparents again, "Grandpa and grandma, I will write you a list when the time comes, and then you will follow my list when you go to the vegetable market tomorrow. Buy some spices and salt as mentioned above, and come back to make bacon.

In order to avoid wasting time by frying salt when we get there, let’s just do everything right here, and then just rub it on the meat with our hands. "

"Oh, good, good," her grandparents nodded, and then her grandma asked, "Then how long should the salt and spices be fried?"

Xiang Jin said, "Until the salt turns slightly yellow, and then wait until the salt is completely spread out and cooled before packing it into bags."

Her grandparents nodded again.

After the meal, Xiang Jin and Yan Chen went to call home first, and after making an appointment with them on the phone to slaughter the pig, Yan Chen went straight back to the classroom for evening self-study, while Xiang Jin went straight home up.

When she was writing the recipe for the cured bacon with her grandparents, she said, "Aunt Liao and Grandpa Zeng said they slaughtered the New Year's pig the day after tomorrow, so I told them that we should prepare the marinade here and let them cook There is no need to prepare."

Xiang Jin's grandparents nodded and said, "Yes, yes," and then her grandma followed suit and asked, "The day after tomorrow, when slaughtering the Nian pig, will you slaughter only your pig first, or all three pigs?"

Xiang Jin said, "All three will be slaughtered!"

"Then your Aunt Liao and Grandpa Zeng are too busy to come over? Are they still picking vegetables?"

Xiang Jin said, "Come here quickly, Aunt Liao said that she will teach her two brothers and nephews from her natal family to come and help."

Her grandparents nodded again, "Oh, that's good, that's good! Is that going to be slaughtered the day after tomorrow?"

"Well, the slaughter will be done in the morning the day after tomorrow. After the slaughter is finished, they will ask the pig butcher to cut up the meat. When the time comes, you can just sprinkle salt on it!"

Xiang Jin handed the written list to her grandparents, "I have seen the pigs in Aunt Liao's house before. Aunt Liao said that they weigh about two hundred and twenty to thirty catties. Now they have grown for a month. They should be in 250 looks like it weighs six catties.

According to the long-term practice, a pig weighing 150 jin can produce about [-] jin of meat, and three pigs can kill a total of [-] jin of meat.

And I mix this cured meat according to the ratio of ten to one. This kind of meat will not be salty or bland when marinated, and the taste is just right, so you will have to work harder tomorrow. You have to fry sixty catties of salt come out. "

Then her grandma asked, "We still need to stuff some sausages, about [-] catties. You can deduct some of the salt from that."

Xiang Jin said, "Oh, that's not true. Thirty catties is about three catties of salt. Then you can buy three catties less tomorrow."

"Oh, good!" her grandma said, but her grandfather said, "That's not necessary. What if her Aunt Liao and Grandpa Zeng's big pigs will not only need sixty catties of salt, I think it’s better to prepare the ones that weigh [-] jin, and they can still be used for food when they are not used up.”

Her grandma nodded again, "I think it will work!"

Two days later, when she came home from school for dinner in the afternoon, Xiang Jin asked her grandparents, "Is the salt you brought enough?"

Her grandparents nodded and said, "Enough, enough!" Then her grandma said, "The salt hasn't been used up yet, at least there are about ten catties left."

"There are so many left?" Xiang Jin was a little surprised.

Then her grandma said, "If you marinate those meats, ribs, etc. into bacon, the amount you calculated would be appropriate, but your Aunt Liao and Grandpa Zeng also need to stuff sausages.

In addition, your Aunt Liao's meat was given to her natal brothers and parents, and they also took some back, which weighed about ten catties.

As for the meat in our family, we cut it for the proprietress and their family, which weighed about five catties, and gave it to the driver who pulled the goods, about three catties.

Usually they often bring us food, and they never charge a penny. They always took care of you when you ate at their house, and the driver who pulled the goods was usually kind and generous.

Now there are very few pigs in the countryside that don't eat compound feed, so we all cut off some of them for their family, as a way of expressing our heart. "

Xiang Jin nodded, and then her grandma continued, "Then Lei Jia and his family have brought us ingredients a few times before, so when we passed by the street, we also dumped a few catties of meat for their family There, plus we brought some fresh pork back to eat, and the meat we need to stuff sausages, so there is so much pork that does not need to be marinated, so there is so much salt left .”

Xiang Jin said, "Then we don't have much cured bacon at home?"

Her grandfather Xiang Jin said, "It's about fifty catties, but it's almost enough. Last time we bought dozens of catties of meat in the vegetable market and marinated it into bacon."

Xiang Jin nodded, "That's fine, let's make some more cured fish then."

Yan Chen suddenly laughed, "You are very attached to this preserved fish, and you will never forget it!"

Xiang Jin said, "That's right, last time I made so many cured fish, but I didn't taste it properly afterwards. It was really a loss."

Yan Chen nodded, "Okay, then we'll be on vacation, so we'll go to Miyun Reservoir."

Xiang Jin smiled proudly, "Yes, yes!"

Xiang Jin's grandparents also laughed, but there was more doting and helplessness in their eyes.

"Hey, why are you here today?" In the blink of an eye, it came to the day when Xiang Jin and his school issued final exam report cards, and this day was also the day when Xiang Jin and his third grade officially had their winter vacation. When I got home, I saw Ouyang Bo sitting carelessly in the living room and watching TV channels.

Ouyang Bo immediately pressed the remote control to turn off the TV, and then directly gave her a thumbs up, "Amazing!"

"What?!" Xiang Jin saw some fresh food placed on the coffee table, so he reached out and took one from it, took it apart and ate it, knowing without thinking that it was brought by Ouyang Bo.

Ouyang Bo said, "Today, I was standing on the edge of the playground with my grandparents, and I saw that you and Na Yanchen got another high scholarship at your school's commendation meeting. Good job, I'm happy for you !"

Xiang Jin said, "I thought what you were talking about, but it's actually nothing. We get scholarships every term, so there's nothing to show off."

Seeing her indifferent look, Ouyang Bo's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and he said teasingly, "Are you a typical case where you get a scholarship and get soft?"

Xiang Jin said, "If I don't get soft hands, no matter how much money I have, I will still be able to handle it. It's just that I'm used to it."

"Domineering!" Ouyang Bo gave her a thumbs up again, and then stretched out his hand to her, "Show me all your test papers?"

"Under that pile of books, you look through it yourself." Xiang Jin was tearing up a snack bag, his hands were not free, so Ouyang Bo had to search for it by himself, and when he saw the almost perfect answer papers, , he couldn't help but burst out again, "Monster!"

This sky-defying academic performance is so good that there is no edge, there is no steel fork, and there is no half hook and half fork, except for a piece of red hook, it is still a piece of red hook, it is [-]% correct ah!

Even the few people with the best academic performance in their school at the beginning could not have such a perfect answer rate.

Xiang Jin's grandparents heard her voice and walked out of the kitchen with smiles on their faces, "Xiao Jin is back?"

"Well, I'm back, grandpa and grandma, are you cooking?" Looking at the apron on her grandma, Xiang Jin nodded to them first and then asked.

"Well, prepare early. Aren't you guys going back to your grandma Mo's place after dinner?" Her grandma nodded, and then the two elders nodded at her.

Ouyang Bo said, "I just came here and you are going back?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's not good. I'm leaving. You can stay with grandpa and grandma for a few more days. Then grandma will sleep in my room, and you and grandpa will sleep together."

Ouyang Bo said, "Oh, why can't I just sleep in your room?"

Xiang Jin pretended to be disgusted and said, "I don't want you to sleep in my room, you stinky boy, be careful to smell my sheets and quilts, so you are not allowed to sleep in my room!"

Ouyang Bo was not happy to hear her words, and then retorted unconvinced, "Hey, how can I, how can I smell like sweat? You smell it, you smell it, I don't have any peculiar smell at all, I usually like to be clean, okay? Whether it’s sunny or raining, summer or winter, I have to take a shower almost every day, okay?”

Xiang Jin pushed him away, "I don't smell it, I don't care if you smell bad, anyway, you just can't sleep in my bed!"

"Why? I'm your brother, your dear brother, what's wrong with me sleeping in your bed?" Ouyang Bo was puzzled.

Xiang Jin said, "No reason, I just don't like other people touching my things!"

Ouyang Bo said, "Am I someone else? I'm your brother, your own brother! Then why can grandma sleep in your bed?"

Xiang Jin nodded and said, "You don't need to emphasize, I know you are my brother, but that is only a biological genetic relationship, and the emotional you are far from the kind of relationship between me and my grandparents. The familiarity of intimacy, so you can't sleep in my room!"

Ouyang Bo opened his mouth, but was immediately speechless.

Watching the two brothers and sisters bickering, Xiang Jin and her grandparents didn't care about it, so Zizi laughed, and then her grandma said, "Why didn't Xiaochen come back with you?"

Xiang Jin said, "He was talking to their class teacher, so I came back first."

Her grandparents nodded.

Xiang Jin suddenly remembered something, and after she put down the half-eaten snacks in her hand, she took out a thick wad of money from her down raincoat pocket, and counted directly from it. She paid 2000 yuan and handed it to her grandma, "Take this, you can buy whatever you want at that time!"

Ouyang Bo stood on the sidelines and watched in amazement, and at the same time he was a little envious. If only he had the ability to get a high scholarship, it would be great, so that he could also be proud of their grandparents. Give them a dozen dollars to pay tribute to them both.

"Hey, what is this for? This is your scholarship, you keep it for yourself," her grandparents naturally refused to accept it.

Xiang Jin said, "I know this is a scholarship, but the scholarship is also used," she took a step forward, and then directly stuffed the wad of money into her grandma's hand, "Take it, Then I won’t be bothered to save it!”

Her grandma said again, "Didn't you say that you will have to rent land to grow fruit?"

Xiang Jin said, "It's not short of your money." After she finished speaking, she counted another 500 yuan from the inside and stuffed it to Ouyang Bo, "This is for you, you can use it for odds and ends!"

Ouyang Bo was stunned, looking at the money in his hand, he couldn't laugh or cry, and at the same time, he also felt a little uncomfortable. He was an older brother who was stuffed with money by a younger sister who was a few years younger than him. It seems that he is too incompetent and incompetent, and it seems that he has to work hard to succeed, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to ask his sister to stuff money every time.

Looking at his fluctuating expression, Xiang Jin knew what he was probably thinking, probably because he felt a little embarrassed and inferior, so he said, "I usually don't have the habit of putting too much money on me. It is considered that I lent you the flowers, and you can give them to me when you have money in the future!"

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, Ouyang Bo's expression became much better, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will keep the money for you, and if you need it later , just tell me, and I'll give it to you!"

"Okay!" Xiang Jin nodded slightly, and then looked at her grandma again, "How much was the pork money at Aunt Liao's house last time?"

Her grandma said, "680 yuan, but we only gave us 570 yuan for the half piece of pork, because you said that you and Xiaochen would pay for your pig, so we just gave it to you. Did not give."

Xiang Jin nodded, "Yes, we'll pay it ourselves, so that's 110 yuan?"

Her grandma nodded, "Well, yes!"

"Okay, got it, we'll pay Aunt Liao when we go back," Xiang Jin nodded, and then put the remaining money in his pocket.

Then her grandma asked, "Then do you have enough money? Why don't you take some of the money back?"

Xiang Jin said, "That's enough. I have more than 800 yuan here, which is completely enough. Besides, Yan Chen also has money."

Her grandparents nodded, and then the two old people went back to the kitchen to prepare lunch. Only Xiang Jin and Ouyang Bo were left in the living room. Suddenly Ouyang Bo took out a picture book from his backpack. A book full of maps was handed over to Xiang Jin, "Oh, by the way, my mother asked me to bring this to you. She said you needed it, and almost forgot about it!"

Xiang Jin took it and flipped through it, and then asked, "Do you know what's going on with Dad and the others?"

"You mean to discuss the matter of growing greenhouse vegetables?"

"Well," Xiang Jin nodded slightly.

Ouyang Bo said, "It seems to be a bit of a clue, the leaders of various counties have been called for a meeting in the past few days, but the meeting seems to be not going well.

Some people are in favor of vigorously developing planting, animal husbandry, and fishery and animal husbandry in the city, but some people are against it, saying that the most important thing now is to build new canals and reservoirs.

In summer, our place is very prone to drought, and then the water from Miyun Reservoir cannot be drawn in, and people can only rely on manual work to fetch water from wells to irrigate crops, which is very inconvenient.

Some county leaders in remote areas say that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and if the roads are blocked, the things you plant can’t be pulled out, so it’s a waste of work, so now there are three different opinions.

But the money that the city's finance department can afford is very limited. If several projects are carried out at the same time, it will be very tight financially. "

Xiang Jin nodded, "This is also a problem, but as long as the road is not hardened, it is not too difficult to lay cement, asphalt and cobblestones.

It is still possible to let the cadres and comrades of the villages organize and mobilize their local peasants to build a wider dirt road. After all, this is what they want to go on their own. I believe they can understand that there will not be much of the problem. "

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Well, Dad and the others said the same thing, but there are still two things that are difficult to solve. The most important thing is the new water conservancy project, so Dad said that it is not possible to let it go to the direction next to the Miyun Reservoir. Several districts and counties in China will build pilot planting and breeding bases first, and then other arid and water-deficient districts and counties will build water conservancy first. At that time, it is estimated that the opportunity will be lost.”

Xiang Jin nodded, "It is indeed possible!"

Ouyang Bo followed suit and said, "Oh, at the back of your book, Mom put some papers for you. On them are the test results of soil pH in various districts and counties. Take a look."

Xiang Jin turned to the back of the book, and she saw a few neatly stacked papers lying there. She took them out and unfolded them, and then looked at them seriously. After looking at them, she saw There was a piece of barren sandy land on it, and the area was not small, it was tens to hundreds of acres, and she was overjoyed immediately.

Seeing the excitement on her face, Ouyang Bo stretched his neck and looked at the piece of paper in her hand, and then asked a little puzzled, "Did you find a treasure?"

Xiang Jin raised his eyes and glanced at him, then smiled, "It's indeed a treasure land, but keep it secret for now, and I'll tell you later!"

About half an hour later, Yan Chen arrived, and Xiang Jin waved to Yan Chen, "Yan Chen, come here, come here, I have something good to show you."

"What?" Yan Chen walked over and sat down on the stool beside her.

Xiang Jin handed him the book that recorded the regional annals of the districts and counties of their city and the pH test report of the soil in each district and county brought to her by her mother, "Look, the main thing is to look at these papers that say of."

Yan Chen nodded, then lowered his head and looked at it seriously, and then he pointed to a deserted sandy tunnel above it and said, "This land is not bad!"

Xiang Jin's eyes suddenly narrowed into a smile, "You think so too?"

Ouyang Bo turned his head to see what they were talking about, and when he saw the barren sandy land, he immediately said incredulously, "No, this is a piece of sandy land, what can be planted? No one wants it!"

Xiang Jin told him, "There is indeed little value in planting food crops, but it can be used to grow other crops, such as watermelons, melons, vines, pear trees, etc."

Ouyang Bo said, "There is nothing to gain from water, can you grow a living?"

Yan Chen said, "These crops don't need too much water, they all like sunshine, and it can also grow peanuts, and some Chinese medicinal materials such as Danshen, Codonopsis, Scutellaria, Astragalus, and Licorice. "

Ouyang Bo still had some doubts when he saw how confident they said, "Are you sure?!"

Yan Chen asked him back, "Have you ever eaten cantaloupe and grapes from northern Xinjiang, and that fragrant pear?"

Ouyang Bo nodded, "I've eaten it!"

Yan Chen said, "The soil in that place is drier than ours. It seldom rains all year round and is always exposed to strong sunlight, but you can see that the cantaloupe there is very sweet, and the water content of grapes and fragrant pears is also very high." Very full.

So if we choose to plant these kinds of fruits in this place, it should still be feasible. There is a river next to this sandy land. I think the river written on it seems to have never been dry. If it is irrigated It's still convenient. "

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, I think so too! The key is that I found that this sandy land was not sandy land at first, it was also arable land for agriculture at first, it was because people cut down the surrounding trees excessively in the past. It was gradually desertified, and people felt that the grain yield on it was not very good. In addition, the government later encouraged land reclamation in the south of the river basin, so after people gradually moved south, people on that land It was directly abandoned, and was later taken back by the government."

"Well, that's true. In this county annals, there are names of the villages of the people who lived on that land before," Yan Chen also said.

Then the two will see which district or county that place belongs to, and then they can ask someone to talk to the district government or county government of that place about contracting this land.

Seeing that the two of them directly decided to contract the barren sandy land, Ouyang Bo felt that the two of them were too hasty, so he said, "No, you really want to lease that land? Don't blame me for not Reminder, you are going to lease such a large piece of land, be careful when the time comes to contract it and lose everything, huh?
I think you should be more cautious. Look at these, these are places with abundant water sources. I think it is much safer for you to pick a place here than to come to that place. "

Xiang Jin nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder, but we think the future income of this land should be good, and we also think that based on the current situation, the rent of this land should not be very expensive."

Yan Chen said, "Let my grandfather or your aunt go to the local government to find out first."

"Okay," Xiang Jin nodded, and then sighed, "It's a pity that the time is too tight, otherwise I really want to set aside two plots of land to plant one as grapes and the other as pear trees .”

Yan Chen said, "It's the same if you can plant watermelons and melons first. This year, you can plant them at three time points, and the results are the fastest. If you are planting grapes and pears, it will take at least several years to bear fruit."

Xiang Jin nodded, "This is true."

After lunch, Yan Chen and Xiang Jin were about to go back, and then Yan Chen sent an invitation to Ouyang Bo, "Do you want to go to the countryside with us for two days?"

Ouyang Bo was immediately surprised, then he looked at his grandma and Xiang Jin and Yan Chen, "I'm going to live in the countryside for two days? Is it convenient?"

Xiang Jin and her grandparents were also smiling.

"Well," Yan Chen nodded slightly, "It's nothing inconvenient. My grandfather's house has a lot of rooms, so don't worry about not having a place to live. Xiang Jin and I plan to go to Miyun Reservoir to buy some fresh fish in the next two days. If you're okay, you can come with us then."

Ouyang Bo was very excited when he heard it, "Really? Oh, yes, yes, I'm fine, I'm fine, I haven't been to Miyun Reservoir yet!" He looked at his grandfather Grandma, "Grandpa and grandma, then I will go to the countryside with them to live for two days?"

Their grandparents didn't stop them either. After all, young people should have a circle of young people and ways of living. Instead, they confessed, "I went to help you with Grandpa Zeng and Grandma Mo. It's Xiaojin and Aunt Liao who harvest vegetables. Don't be old." Care to play?"

"Oh, I see!"

So the next three people went out of the room together with their backpacks on their backs, seeing that he was only carrying a suitcase in his hand, and then Xiang Jin asked Yan Chen, "Oh, by the way, you won't come next semester, how about that?" How do you deal with the sheets, quilts, and other daily necessities in your dormitory?"

Yan Chen said, "Except for the sheets and quilts, which were brought back, everything else was distributed to the students in the dormitory."

After Ouyang Bo heard this, he was surprised again, "Why, you don't study in this school anymore?"

Xiang Jin explained to him on behalf of Yan Chen, "Yan Chen's household registration is in the provincial capital, so he has to go back to the provincial capital to take the college entrance examination. In order to adapt to the questions in the provincial capital, he will directly study in the provincial capital from next semester. gone."

Ouyang Bo nodded, "Oh, I see!"
