Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 109
"Wait, I have another idea. Now that we have decided to get a loan, we can do it in one go. Anyway, a powered locomotive costs [-] yuan, and a trailer is [-] yuan. It's better to just get a walking tractor, which has more uses. In addition to watering, you can also pull things, plow the fields, and thresh wheat...a walk-behind tractor is equivalent to the work of a few donkeys, and there is no need for a breeder to take care of it every day."

Wang Manyin simply said all his thoughts.

In his opinion, if there are too many lice, there is no itching, and if there are too many debts, there is no worry.

Since you plan to take out a loan, it is better to do it in one step.

Now everyone on the Loess Plateau is imitating Dazhai, and food requirements are the most important.Almost all sideline factories run by various village-run production teams have been suspended, and it is even more difficult for private individuals to start sideline businesses.

But if you are more courageous, you can also use a walking tractor to do something, the easiest is to run transportation.When Wang Manyin went to sell fish in Mijia Town years ago, he heard Li Ping mention that ordinary coal in the Shikoma Coal Mine cost a penny a catty, but when it was brought to the original West County, the price doubled immediately, up to two cents and five catties.

Calculated by pulling two thousand catties per car, you can earn 50 yuan for a trip.

Running back and forth from the coal mine to the county town requires about ten catties of diesel oil.Now the price of No. 10 diesel is 0 cents per catty, and No. [-] diesel is [-] cents per catty... That is to say, the fuel cost is more than one yuan at most.

Pulling one job a day, excluding eating, drinking and messing in the middle, can make a net profit of about 25 yuan.After a month, it is several hundred yuan.

Of course, there is a prerequisite, and you can find a relationship to issue various certificates.

This step is difficult, but as long as you think of a way, there is still a way.

However, Wang Manyin didn't mention it for the time being, and planned to take a step at a time.After all, the situation is changing, and no one can tell which direction the wind is blowing, or what new changes have occurred.

Don't be careful not to earn money, but it will have an impact on other people in Guanzi Village.

At this moment, Liu Xiangyang, Wang Lianshun and the others fell into deep thought after listening.

It seems reasonable, walking tractors are far more effective than power machines.Three or 4000 yuan is owed, and there is nothing more than 1000 yuan.

On the contrary, Wang Fugui was a little dazed, feeling that things were getting more and more sideways: at first, the second team just wanted to dig a fish pond to distribute a few fish to the members during the New Year, but in a daze, they started to build earth dams and grow rice.The rice has not been planted yet, and I need a loan to buy a walk-behind tractor.The more troubles get bigger, the more than 5000 loans, what should I do if I can't pay by the end of the year?
He is the accountant of the second team, so he naturally has to do the financial calculations.

"Well, let's vote with a show of hands. Raise your hand if you agree to buy a walking tractor!" Wang Lianshun raised his hand first as he spoke.

Although he already agrees with Wang Manyin's statement in his heart, after all, it is a matter of several thousand yuan, and he still hopes to hear everyone's opinions.

"I agree too," Liu Xiangyang said without hesitation.

Wang Yanqiang then raised his hand and said: "A walk-behind tractor is indeed more useful than a donkey. I have a comrade-in-arms who works in the County Agricultural Machinery Bureau. I can ask him to help me get an indicator."

Seeing that everyone else agreed, Wang Fugui also raised his hand.

"If we really want to buy back the walking tractor, we should be the first in Shigejie Commune, right?" Seeing that the matter was finalized, Wang Yanqiang said with emotion.

Everyone thought: Is that right? I have never heard of any village buying walking tractors in the Shige Festival. They have taken a big step forward.

After everyone discussed it, early the next morning, Wang Manyin and Liu Xiangyang went to the commune together to inquire about related matters.In the end, I was told that the commune credit union could not make a decision on this matter, it had to be approved by the county, and the village had to issue various certificates.

After tossing back and forth, it must be too late today, so I can only go to the county seat tomorrow.

Wang Manyin simply asked Liu Xiangyang to go back to the village first, and said that he had other things to do.

Not long after the other party left, he left Shigejie Commune along another dirt road.Arrived at a remote Yagou Gelao, dodged into the space.

Wang Manyin did not go to the pond to watch the fish this time, but quickly set up an iron pot for cooking and boiled a large pot full of water.While waiting for the water to boil, he took out a shining knife and put it flat on the stone to grind it.

The last time he and Liu Xiangyang went to the county to do errands, they were robbed by several educated youths.Wang Manyin used one against two and seized two knives from the opponent.

One was given to Liu Xiangyang, and the other was thrown in the space for preservation. Now it is just right to be used as a butcher's knife.

That's right, Wang Manyin is going to take the time today to slaughter the big fat pig he raised.

He bought a piglet from Mijia Town years ago, and it has been nearly five months since then, and it weighs about [-] to [-] catties.

This growth rate is quite astonishing, which is equivalent to the fact that many people in the outside world have fed it for a year, but Wang Manyin has no intention of continuing to feed it.

There are no other people in the space to help, the main fear is that if it gets too big, I won't be able to control it alone.

This big fat pig was used to being fed, and when it saw humans appearing, it made a whimpering sound.

Wang Manyin got a handful of sweet potato seedlings and threw them into the pit, and then jumped down.

When the big fat pig saw the food, it immediately rushed forward to feed it, but it didn't notice that its hind legs stepped into a live buckle hemp rope.

Wang Manyin's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. With a sudden pull, the live button contracted, and he tightly bound the two hind legs of the fat pig.

The guy finally realized that something was wrong, and began to struggle violently and hiss.However, its two hind legs were tied to death, and it was restricted by the environment of the pit, so it could not break free at all.

After a lot of effort, Wang Manyin tied up the two front legs of the fat pig and lifted it out of the pit with force. Something weighing more than 100 kilograms is very easy for him.

There is also a section of acacia tree with a thick bowl mouth in the space, which is just used to fix the body of the fat pig.Afraid of waiting for this guy to break free, he tied several ropes one after another.

Before going to the food station to buy meat, Wang Manyin specifically asked the stationmaster Ma about the specific parts of the slaughtered pigs, so he got a general idea.I know that as long as I poke it under the neck, it is absolutely right.

When he was ready, he gritted his teeth, the white knife went in, twisted again, and the red knife came out.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Gu's blood gushed out, quickly filling the crock below.

Wang Manyin only felt blood red in front of his eyes...

There was no panic in my heart, but a bit of inexplicable excitement.Probably after going through too many things, his courage gradually grew.Killing a pig alone was considered a feat for him.

After getting used to it for a while, Wang Manyin began to scoop up boiling water to remove the pig hair.

Then, chop it up.

The last time I made noodles, there was still a big pit, which was covered with two layers of plastic sheets, which was just used to marinate pork.

Similar to the method of making air-dried geese, he sprinkled a lot of salt into the pit, chopped some dried chilies, and poured a jar of loose white wine to marinate.

These materials were prepared earlier and are now in use.

When deciding to raise pigs in the space, Wang Manyin did it on the fly without thinking too much about the situation.

It is only now that I realize that it is too difficult to take out hundreds of catties of pork openly.It can only be made into bacon and temporarily stored in the space, and it can be eaten slowly later.

Many people think that bacon is a delicacy only in the south, but it is not the case. There is a similar preservation method in Yuanxi County, which is called "pit cured pork".

However, Wang Manyin thought this method was too troublesome, so he decided to adopt the simplest method of smoking and roasting.

Having done all this, he jumped into the pond and took a bath.After confirming that there was nothing abnormal on his body, he exited the space again.

Wang Manyin originally wanted to bring a few catties of pork home, but after thinking about it, he forgot.

At this point in time, there must be many mothers-in-law and aunts chatting at home, so it is better not to cause this trouble.

He is also very distressed now, he can't eat the pork even though he is looking at it.

As a result, when he got home, Wang Manyin found that there was no lively scene as he had imagined.The kiln door was locked tightly, only Rhubarb stood by the side of the field, and Lanhua didn't know where she went.

Seeing the owner's return, the native dog immediately rushed up to greet him.

The two cats jumped up and down around him, looking extremely excited.

After dealing with a few animals, Wang Manyin opened the door and entered the cave.Lan Hua was not at home, so she just took the opportunity to bring out a piece of meat.

I didn't dare to take more, I only got a little more than a catty.

It smelled like alcohol, so he rinsed it several times with clean water.

While he was busy, he heard a familiar voice from outside.

"Man Yin, you're back? I just went to pick elm money with the women in the village."

Immediately, Lanhua entered the cave dwelling, holding a twig basket on her arm, which was filled with green elm money.

"In April, the wheat seedlings are fresh, and the boy carries a basket to pick elm coins."

On the Loess Plateau, the beginning of April in the lunar calendar is a good season to eat elm money.There are also many money trees planted in Guanzi Village.

Yuqian can not only be eaten raw, but also made into Yuqian rice.For people in this era, it is also a life-saving thing.

So every time this season comes, the hungry children in the village will scramble to climb up the tree to pick elms for money to eat.

A beep, a bunch of stuffed into the mouth, there is a sweet taste in the green, but it can temporarily fill their stomachs.

Wang Manyin is from a later generation, and he hasn't eaten this stuff for many years, and he finds it very fresh.

Before Lanhua could open her mouth, he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth and began to chew.

"Hey, Man Yin, you also bought pork?" Seeing the large piece of fat pork in the crock pot, Lan Hua said excitedly, and then lowered her voice.

"Well, when I went to the food station, I happened to find that the meat was not sold out, so I cut a piece. I just soaked it in wine to get rid of the fishy smell." Wang Manyin replied vaguely.

Lanhua knew that her man knew a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative, and he could usually get some pork from inside, so she didn't think much about it.

"There's so much pork, let's save it for dinner... I'll make steamed rice with yuqian rice for you at noon." Lan Hua hesitated for a moment, then said again.

People keep coming to buy things at noon, it is really not suitable for pork.This is what her man told her secretly, and she always kept it firmly in her heart.

Wang Manyin also thought similarly, nodded and said: "How about this, let's steam some yuqian big meat buns in the evening, and let's send some to Shaoping and the others."

The family has meat to eat, of course Wang Manyin will not forget the old father-in-law's family, which is what it should mean.

After the couple discussed it, Lan Hua started to cook.

Soon, the hot Yuqian rice was out of the pan.Take some garlic cloves, sprinkle some salt, and pour sesame oil on it.

Needless to say, it tastes pretty good.

Wang Manyin tasted so delicious that he cooked three big bowls.

　I'm sorry, I've been busy with everything today, and there's only one update.

　　I wish you all a Happy New Year!
