Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 115

After sending the Shaoan brothers and sisters away in the afternoon, Wang Manyin took Rhubarb to wander around the Taiwan plateau.Not long after leaving the village, he flashed into the space.

Every time he appeared in it, he felt like he had come to a paradise.The lush greenery in front of my eyes immediately made my mood much easier.

At the same time, there is an indescribable pride.

When the space was first obtained, except for a spring, there was only a piece of bare yellow land without any plant growth.

After half a year of hard work by Wang Manyin, earth-shaking changes have taken place.

All kinds of plants are growing vigorously, wheat, rice, peanuts, soybeans... almost all the crops that can be collected from the outside world are planted inside.

The space area has not expanded too much, and it still looks like five acres.How much has not been accurately measured.

But for Wang Manyin, it was enough.

No amount of self can be too busy, it is pure waste.

Especially after harvesting two crops, now there are hundreds of catties of various grains accumulated.

With food in hand, he doesn't panic, which is why Wang Manyin can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

And those fish in the pond... Standing by the reeds, looking at the constantly moving fish heads, he is happy and depressed every time.

The main thing is that the growth and reproduction speed of this thing is too fast. Some of the remaining carp from years ago have grown to a maximum of more than ten catties.There are also many crucian carp individuals that have reached half a catty.

Wang Manyin released hundreds of catties of fish into the Dongla River one after another, but there was still no sign of any reduction.

Especially small fish fry, one crop after another.

Recently, he has started trying to catch fish fry in nets and feed them to native chickens.There are even plans to introduce some water birds into the space for control in the next step.

Wang Manyin originally planned to go to Mijia Town to sell fish, but after careful consideration, he canceled the plan.

Now that I am not short of money and food, there is really no need to take risks.

Thinking about it, the only way is to make air-dried fish and store it in the space for now, and then we will see the situation.

Years to now, Wang Manyin's family has not received much money, but the small money has not been broken.

Just the sales commission and selling eggs at the consignment point can earn seventeen or eighteen yuan a month.If it weren't for a chicken plague, the income would be higher.

In addition, in the past month or so, Wang Manyin has been digging licorice from the space, and it also sells for 40 yuan.

In addition to licorice, when Wang Manyin went to the mountains to collect firewood last time, he also dug a lot of Polygala rhizomes for planting.

This thing is also a kind of herbal medicine, and the purchase price is more expensive than licorice. It costs about one pound of dry goods.However, polygala is relatively rare on the Loess Plateau, and the supply and marketing cooperatives only collect the root bark.Sometimes after a busy day in the mountains, the rhizomes of polygala dug up may not be able to dry a catty.

But to Wang Manyin, it was nothing at all.

With space, I can plant it on a large scale like licorice.

A hundred catties of dry goods cost hundreds of dollars, and the speed of getting money is not much slower than fish farming.The key is safety, and it can be sold in a supply and marketing cooperative in an aboveboard manner.

Calculated according to the speed of space plants, polygala should be able to be excavated in more than half a year.

There is also Bupleurum bupleurum, another common herb in the Loess Plateau, and Wang Manyin also planted a lot of it.In the next step, he plans to open up another area in the space dedicated to breeding scorpions.

The temperature in the space does not change much, which is very suitable for the growth of scorpions.The supply and marketing cooperatives also have purchases, one for two cents.More importantly, this thing eats locusts.

According to the data of later generations, a scorpion can eat tens of thousands of locusts a year.

So this thing is very easy to raise, as long as you plant a piece of sweet potato, you will hardly need to worry about it.

The only thing to be guarded against is the flood of scorpions in the space... But this problem is very easy to solve, and Wang Yiyi has already figured out a way.

Just dig a circular ditch around the scorpion pond and fill it with water.Scorpions can't swim, so they can only live on isolated islands, and it will be easier to catch them when the time comes.

Looking around the space, seeing that everything was as usual, Wang Manyin walked into the melon field again.I ate two bowls of dumplings at noon, and now I am a little thirsty.

A big fragrant melon entered his stomach, and he immediately felt much more comfortable.

It just made Wang Manyin a little regretful that he couldn't share it with Lanhua for the time being.It can only be done after a while, when the melons planted in the private plot are ripe.

***
Going to work in the morning, Wang Manyin worked with Wang Yanqiang as usual.

After working for a while, he found that the other party was listless, as if he didn't sleep well last night.

"Uncle Yanqiang, what's wrong with you, you're yawning all the time... My aunt tormented you?"

"Don't mention it, it's because the female educated youths made a fuss in the cave... Director Zhao and I took a few people to watch all night, but we didn't figure out what was going on."

"Is there any movement?!" Wang Manyin couldn't help asking.

When Liu Xiangyang and others talked about it yesterday, he thought it was a mouse digging a hole.

Now it seems that it may not be as simple as I imagined.

"Well, it's a little weird. Last night, the educated youths arranged to spend the night at other people's homes. We have been guarding inside, and nothing happened at first. In the early morning, there was a sudden wind in the courtyard. It seemed that someone was pushing a roller in the cave. Someone is coughing... Director Zhao is so determined, he finally got a little hairy."

"You didn't check to see if there were mice or raccoons digging holes."

"You think we're stupid. We've searched the entire cliff up and down. We've even checked the male educated youth dormitory next door. There's no hole..."

Hearing what the other party said was so mysterious, Wang Manyin became more and more curious: "Are you guys still guarding tonight?"

"Of course we have to guard. Now there are all kinds of rumors in the village. I want to see if Wang Bingtou is really playing tricks! A group of living people can scare the dead!"

For this kind of nagging, Wang Yanqiang was dubious.But he is a person who has been on the battlefield, and he is not afraid. He decided to continue to lead people to guard tonight, trying to get to the bottom of it.

"I'll take a look with you tonight." Wang Manyin's curiosity was completely aroused, and he planned to go to the village after dinner.

As a result, it didn't wait until the evening. When she was about to get off work at noon, a female educated youth rushed to the construction site to report that Shen Jinqin had just been frightened and was talking nonsense.

"What's the matter, aren't you asked to stay at other members' homes temporarily? Why do you want to go back to the cave?" Wang Yanqiang asked puzzled.

"Shen Jinqin remembered that there were still more than a dozen yuan in the box, and wanted to take it away during the day. But as soon as she walked into the cave, she heard a strange noise..."

"Come on, don't do it, let's go and have a look." Wang Yanqiang greeted Wang Lianshun and rushed to the village with Wang Manyin.

Several educated youths also followed after hearing the news.

When they arrived at the brigade, they found that the courtyard was in a mess.

Shen Jinqin was sitting on a bench with panic all over her face, accompanied by a few mothers-in-law.

In another piece, Wang Mancang's mother-in-law, Liao, was squatting halfway in the open space, with this porcelain bowl in front of her, with three chopsticks in it, and she was holding a chopsticks standing ceremony.

Standing chopsticks, also known as standing chopsticks, is an ancient and traditional way of "curing diseases" in Guanzi Village.

In this era, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines. When many people in rural areas encounter children or elderly people who are sick, they will not send them to the hospital as soon as possible.

This method is very simple, fill half a bowl of water, put three chopsticks in it, and the old man mutters beside him.

If you feel that you are being tricked by something, you can call the other party's name, and all kinds of wishes and threats will go into battle.To be obedient is to send rice and noodles, to be disobedient is to be iron slag, and peach wood nails serve...

During the whole process, it is necessary to continuously pour water on the chopsticks to increase its stickiness until the three chopsticks stand upright at the bottom of the bowl, which means success.

In addition, there are gangsters, gangsters, and even boys who serve...

For the scene in front of him, Wang Manyin didn't know how to describe it.

He turned his head to look at the crowd, but he didn't see Director Zhao.Strange, this person usually works in the brigade, but he wasn't there today.

As for the educated youths behind them, they were also at a loss.I don't know whether to oppose it or not.

"Here we come, we come, give way, everyone!!" At this time, Wang Fugui's mother-in-law and aunt also rushed into the courtyard with a big bowl.

The inside of the bowl was yellow and there was a layer of foam floating on it.

"Come on, girl, drink it," the other party brought the bowl to Shen Jinqin.

"Brother Wang, what is this? It looks like beer." Liu Xiangyang asked curiously.

"Boy urine..." Wang Manyin answered with restraint.According to the memory of the previous life, boy's urine is also regarded as a good medicine for all diseases by many people.

"What?" Several educated youths were completely dumbfounded.

"Come on, girl, hurry up and drink it while it's hot. I saved up so much by looking for a few broken babies, and Junxiang's broken baby ran away yelling that he didn't pee..."

"Oh... I don't want to drink, take it away." Shen Jinqin shook her head again and again, saying she wouldn't drink it.

"Okay, auntie, don't be too busy, let's wait and see. Let's go into the cave to see what's going on?" Wang Manyin hurriedly stopped.

If you continue to make trouble, you might be in trouble.The best solution, of course, is to find out what the problem is.

Not to mention, when I walked into the cave dwelling where the female educated youth lived, I really heard some movement.It was like a person's throat was blocked, and he made a rustling coughing sound.

Nima, in broad daylight, Wang Manyin also had a creepy feeling.I searched the cave dwelling all over, but found nothing abnormal, the sound seemed to come from the depths of the thick loess layer.

Then, he climbed to the side of his head to check.The so-called brainside is the roof of the cave dwelling.There are many wet footprints on it, obviously left by Wang Yanqiang and the others before.

After checking, no problems were found.

Wang Manyin finally confirmed that the voice did come from the cave.

As for the weirdness, he didn't believe it from the beginning to the end, and he was more inclined to the sound made by the resonance of some object.As long as the specific location is confirmed, everything can be revealed.

There were many voices in the cave, so Wang Manyin simply asked everyone else to leave the cave, and listened carefully inside by himself.

After a few minutes, he really heard something.As Wang Manyin kept getting closer to the wall of the kiln, he finally confirmed that the abnormal noise was coming from the direction of the flue.
