Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 132 Planning, choosing a location for the cabin
  This stallion did have a problem. He had a cold last year and couldn't stand up. In the end, he was lucky enough to carry it. However, his endurance and labor capacity have dropped a lot since then, but it's usually not noticeable if he doesn't pull heavy objects.

They didn't expect to meet such an experienced person as Lin Heng. It wasn't enough to check the body and limbs. They also had to be ridden twice to listen to the breathing rhythm.

They thought that Lin Heng, who was young and a nouveau riche, would spend a lot of money on things, but the experience of this veteran surprised both of them. Fortunately, the stallion had only been sick before and was fine now.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if Lin Heng found out.

Wang Zhou on the side had no idea that Uncle Li, who was so kind to him, had such bad intentions. He said stupidly: "It seems that this stallion is better. He is much taller, Brother Lin."

Lin Heng smiled slightly: "I just like this mare. How much does it cost?"

Li Gui looked at Lin Heng and responded, "This mare costs five hundred yuan."

"This is impossible. A cow only costs three to four hundred yuan, and your horse costs five hundred." Lin Heng immediately shook his head.

This year, a [-]-jin pig is sold for only [-] to [-] yuan, and a [-]-[-]-jin ox is only [-] to [-] yuan. This is not a good horse, and the price is too expensive.

Li Gui smiled bitterly and said, "This is a good horse. It's a purebred Mongolian gelding. It can pull six to seven hundred kilograms easily. And it's a female horse. It can give birth to cubs. It's really not expensive."

Lin Heng shook his head and said: "The price is four hundred yuan. If you agree, I will buy it. If you don't agree, forget it."

Don't tell him about any kind of horse. It's crazy that there are any kind of horses in this place.

Li Gui's voice was urgent: "This price is impossible. Four hundred and nine is the lowest price I can recommend. Now this mare is almost [-] pounds."

"Then I can't give you a higher price. If you bother me today, I'll go check out other places. If it doesn't work, I'll just buy a donkey." Lin Heng shook his head. The price was out of the question.

"Well, if you buy that stallion, I'll give you a cheaper price. How about four hundred and fifty?" Li Gui thought for a while and said.

Lin Heng smiled: "You still want to sell the stallion for [-] yuan, but I don't even want [-] yuan."

After smiling, he added: "Let me go back and think about it for two days."

There are not many people in Huangtan Town who can afford to buy a batch of adult horses, so he has plenty of room for bargaining.

At this time, the uncle driver came over and stopped him: "Boss Lin, let's take a step back. Take this mare for [-] yuan. After all, it is a mare and it has been well trained. The price is really not expensive." .”

"Four hundred and twenty yuan, I'll give you cash. If you don't want to, just find someone else. Not many can pay it off at once." Lin Heng waved his hand and said.

He is really leaving this time. Don't be in a hurry when buying things. He suffered many losses when he was young.

Li Gui frowned and was very unhappy: "Boss Lin, you didn't really buy this. Why are you wasting my time? Isn't this just for entertainment?"

"I bought it sincerely, but your price is too expensive." Lin Heng shook his head and left with Wang Zhou.

The driver uncle stayed here and did not leave.

On the way, Wang Zhou hesitated to speak, and finally thought for a while and said nothing.

"You can say whatever you want." Lin Heng looked at him.

Wang Zhou shook his head and said: "I think about it carefully, Brother Lin, you are right. It is right to look at more places for something worth more than [-] yuan."

He originally wanted to speak for the driver, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was inappropriate. First of all, there is too much money involved, and secondly, he is now Lin Heng's subordinate.

Lin Heng was a little surprised by Wang Zhou's words. He didn't expect him to say such words, and his trust and evaluation of him became higher.

"Do you know why I didn't buy that stallion? I'm sure it was sick." Lin Heng said what he didn't want to say at first, but now he said it to him.

Wang Zhou was a little stunned: "Ah, no way! Uncle Li is a very nice person."

Lin Heng smiled and said, "That horse was only sick before and is not sick now. He probably also wants to make some money. I understand. It's okay."

Wang Zhou didn't believe it and asked Lin Heng how he could tell. After Lin Heng explained the details, Wang Zhou was convinced: "Brother Lin, you know too much."

Lin Heng shook his head: "Read more books and summarize more."

In fact, this is all the experience gained from the sixty years of stepping into pitfalls in his previous life. He has suffered losses several times because of his recklessness.

Lin Wei wrote this down. Now that his work was easier, he found that he could really read and study.

When he returned to town at [-]:[-], he gave Wang Zhou a warning, and Lin Heng walked home.

When he walked to Baima Village, Lin Heng went to find Carpenter Liang and asked him about custom-made bath buckets.

Seeing him, Liang Carpenter was shocked and wanted him to stay for dinner. Lin Heng refused repeatedly before he could leave.

Watching Lin Heng leave, Carpenter Liang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. When he went to Lin's house four months ago, he never expected that this young man would grow to such an extent in such a short period of time.

When I left, I just felt that he had a bright future. However, within a short time, he opened a buying station and a canteen, and became a small boss.

But he himself remained unchanged.

When he was approaching Hongfeng Village, Lin Heng saw Caiyun. She and Liu Ciwen were walking side by side on the road, seeming to be discussing something.

But he has nothing to worry about. Both of them are determined to study and will not think about love at this stage.

As for the future, he has nothing to do with it. As long as Caiyun doesn't get deceived, it doesn't matter who she likes.

He didn't bother to catch up and say hello, so he walked slowly and picked an early-ripening August melon to eat on the way.

The August melon becomes purplish red when old, and the fruit is full of seeds, but the sweetness is particularly strong, even a little bit sweet.

I ate half of it and sipped it in my mouth a few times. After drinking the juice, I spit it out like a machine gun. When I was a kid, I would compete with who could spit it out fast and far.

Back home, Mother Lin and the others were using a windmill to turn the millet. The millet had been initially dried and would continue to be dried after the mill was turned.

"There are so many shriveled shells. Dad, how much do you think the yield per mu will be this year?" Lin Heng said with emotion as he walked into the yard.

When a windmill rolls out, a small half of its shriveled shell is pulled out.

Father Lin shook his head and sighed: "It's more than three hundred kilograms. It's almost the same every day. I heard that some places have chemical fertilizers and high-quality seeds, and the yield per mu can reach six to seven hundred kilograms. I don't know if that's true."

"I estimate that it will become popular here next year or the year after next at most, and we will know then." Lin Heng said.

Chemical fertilizers are now popular mainly in the three northeastern provinces of Henan and Hebei and other major grain-producing areas. These places have inconvenient transportation and difficult transportation, so they are not yet popular.

In my memory, it only became popular starting next year.

"I hope, this kind of crop is really unprofitable. Even if the yield per mu is [-] kilograms, and nine acres of land is [-] kilograms, it is only [-] kilograms based on rice being [-] kilograms. You can make it back in two months. ." Father Lin was filled with emotion.

In fact, even for an ordinary store, the annual income is much more cost-effective than growing crops now. Father Lin didn't understand it before, but now he understands it and feels a little depressed.

"Haha!" Lin Heng couldn't help but laugh when he saw Father Lin's depressed expression.

Growing crops in non-plain areas is not a good business. This thing needs to be large enough to make money.

"Why are you laughing? Come over quickly and help move the grain." Father Lin glared at him.

Lin Heng came over to help move the millet, and temporarily put it with Lin's father. When it was completely dried, he handed over the public grain and then distributed it.

After finishing all this, it was getting dark, so Lin's mother made white flour steamed buns. The dishes were fried bamboo chicken and fried cucumber. While eating, Lin Heng talked about buying a horse.

Mother Lin was speechless: "Do you still have this ability?"

Lin Heng didn't want to pay attention to his mother and looked at his wife: "Xiulan, just tell me whether I am great or not?"

Xiulan nodded, looked at Mother Lin and nodded and said, "Lin Heng is very powerful. He asked me to choose the male and female of the chicks before, and he is right."

Then Xiulan repeated to everyone the skills of selecting male and female chickens that Lin Heng taught her. She was very cooperative with her husband.

"No wonder you have so many hens, that's what happened." Lin Yue was shocked. At first, he thought it was just Lin Heng who was lucky.

Liu Juan also sighed and said: "Then why didn't you tell me in advance? I bought ten chickens, and now I have seven roosters. They fight every day and I am worried to death."

"You bought it all, but it's useless even if we say it." Lin Heng took a bite of bamboo chicken. Although this bamboo chicken is small, it tastes really good. The meat is very tender and not sticky.

"You really shouldn't be in a hurry when choosing a horse. Take your time and look for it." Father Lin nodded. After all, there was so much money.

While eating bamboo chicken, Lin Heng asked again: "Bamboo rat?"

"I cooked it for lunch when my uncle and uncle left. I left some for you at home," Xiulan said.

"Oh, just finish it then. You don't have to leave it for me." Lin Heng was just curious and didn't care who ate it.

After chatting for a while after the meal, Lin Heng and Xiulan took their daughter back home to rest.

Lin Heng got up early the next day and took Xiaoxia and Xiongba for a walk around the village. They had no purpose, just a simple walk.

As they approached the ginkgo tree, a big rooster rushed towards Xiaoxia, trying to peck someone fiercely.

"You want to die, don't you?" Lin Heng kicked him away. The guy was dissatisfied and rushed over again with wings flapped.

"Back off, bully, I'll do it myself." Lin Heng let go of his daughter's hand and chased the big rooster, kicking it hard until it gave up and ran away.

The big roosters in the village that had eaten centipedes or bees were very vicious. They pecked him all the time when he was a child, and now they even wanted to peck his precious daughter.

Xiaoxia watched Lin Heng chasing the big rooster and clapped happily: "Daddy hates it, I hate it so much!!"

"This damn rooster is very annoying!" Mr. Liu Sanye walked over from a distance and said.

"Yeah, I'm going to eat it one day." Lin Heng pulled his daughter over and said.

Xiongba saw that the big rooster was back. He chased it and knocked it down a few times, and ravaged it so hard that it made its legs tremble.

"What is this?" Xiaoxia pointed curiously at the yellow flute held by Master Liu San.

"This is a flute, let me play one for you." Mr. Liu took a few breaths and started playing the flute.

Although I can't understand what the tune is, the voice is quite pleasant, melodious and melodious, and quite pleasant to the ear.

Xiaoxia cheered when she heard the sound and clapped her little hands, which made Liu Sanye so happy that he played even harder.

But after a while he stopped and gasped: "I can't do it anymore, I'm old and I can't finish playing the music in one hand."

"If you want to listen, listen more!" Xiaoxia jumped up and cheered.

"Blow in a while, I'm too old and have no strength." Liu Sanye sat down on the bench next to him, touched Xiaoxia's little face and said with a smile.

"Dad, blow!" Xiaoxia turned to look at Lin Heng again.

"Dad can't." Lin Heng smiled and shook his head.

When he was a child, he played with Liu Sanye's flute when he was herding cattle with him, but he could only play it barely and could not play any tunes at all.

Liu Sanye rested for a while and started playing again. There was no one under the ginkgo tree in the morning, so Xiaoxia had a good time.

After playing for a while, Lin Heng took Xiaoxia and continued walking around. Xiaoxia walked in front and Lin Heng followed her.

"Grandpa!" After walking a few steps, Xiaoxia saw Father Lin coming back from the fields with Baogu on her back, and ran over happily.

"Grandpa is dirty, don't hug him." Father Lin quickly grabbed her and coaxed her for a few words before she stopped.

"Come on, let's go back and peel the corn and make pulp." Lin's father looked at Lin Heng and said.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and walked back with his daughter.

Go home and peel the corn, stir it with a wooden stick to catch the corn beard, and then you can start making batter.

Mother Lin had cleaned the millstone in the yard. After installing it, Lin Heng and his father pushed the millstone while Mother Lin poured corn and water.

After a few turns, the crushed corn residue mixed with corn syrup flowed out.

Lin Heng pushed for a while, and his elder brother Lin Yue came to take his hand.

The three people took turns pushing it all morning before they got two buckets of corn mash.

"It's so tiring." Lin Heng sighed, his back hurting from the push.

"It's divided, you can choose for yourself." Mother Lin divided the cake into three portions.

"I'm going to talk about the youngest one."

Lin Heng carried the smallest portion back home. This thing had to ferment for a long time before it was delicious.

Xiulan covered the pulp with gauze to prevent insects from getting in.

After having breakfast together, Lin Heng lay on the mat in a daze, thinking about his future plans.

The main goal is to build a breeding base in Hongfeng Mountain. In the early stage, fish and shrimp farming were researched into dendrobium planting, and in the later stage, the scale of the industry was slowly expanded.

While living a good life, develop your career steadily and step by step.

You can't stop hunting. You can still make a lot of money by chasing the mountains. There are many good things in the mountains.

And he also likes the feeling of hunting in the mountains. He can hunt more while he can now, but he won't be allowed to do so in a few years.

But he hasn't been going to the mountains recently. It's only half a month until August [-]th, and he has to accompany Xiulan back to her parents' home.

Xiulan has not been back since she got married. It has been two years.

When I get back from my parents' home, I can go to the mountains to pick chestnuts, August melons, and schisandra chinensis.

After thinking about it, Lin Heng fell asleep. It was already past two o'clock when he woke up.

He looked at his watch and then at his daughter who was sleeping next to him.

He got up and drank a glass of water. He had eaten too many dates recently, and his blood was so strong that he had a nosebleed.

"What are you going to do this afternoon?" Xiulan looked at Lin Heng and asked. She hadn't fallen asleep and was just lying on the mat to rest.

Lin Heng said: "Didn't I tell you before? I'm going to build a wooden house there. I'm going to check out the place today. Do you want to go with me?"

He bought a diesel saw just to prepare for building a wooden house. After harvesting the millet, he felt relatively free. He had chosen a place and could call his father to help him.

"Okay, I'll go get some grass for the badgers and forest musk deer." Xiulan nodded.

At half past three, they took their daughter and Xiong Ba up the mountain together. Lin Heng also brought his bow, arrows and slingshot.

I met my prey today, and I must teach it a lesson.

When I arrived at Hongfeng Mountain, I was sweating all over and felt much cooler after getting into the forest.

Lin Heng wiped Xiaoxia's sweat with a towel, and then wiped himself. The three of them each took a towel, which Lin Heng bought.

"Dad, I have a lot of ants." Xiaoxia said curiously, pointing to the moving ants on the ground.

"Don't touch it, it will bite your hand." Lin Heng warned, and Xiaoxia immediately retracted her hand a lot.

After resting for a while, Lin Heng stood up and said, "Honey, tell me which location is better to build the wooden house. Once it's built, we can live in it in the fall."

"Look up. This area is not very good. I think the area where dendrobium is planted seems good." Xiulan looked around and found that it was a bit too steep here.

Lin Heng nodded: "That's what I'm thinking of too. It's not far from the creek and it's relatively gentle."

Continuing to move forward, Xiong Ba was having fun in the woods. Lin Heng looked around, but he didn't find any prey.

Not long after, we came to the forest where Dendrobium officinale was planted. This place was close to a stream and the humidity was quite high.

"These dendrobiums are really alive." Xiulan was surprised when she looked at the dendrobiums on the tree trunks.

Most of them were alive and sprouting, which she didn't expect. When Lin Heng planted dendrobium like this, she had no hope at all, so she just accompanied Lin Heng to do experiments.

"It will definitely survive, because the environment in which the excavated dendrobium grows is very similar." Lin Heng said with a smile.

These dendrobiums are alive and will bloom in May or June next year. After harvesting the seeds, he can try to expand the scale of planting and further study planting techniques.

After looking at the dendrobium, Lin Heng took Xiulan to look around the forest, and finally chose to build a wooden house in a location to the west of the forest where the dendrobium was planted.

This location is [-] meters away from the stream in a straight line. If the trees in front are cut down, you can have an unobstructed view of both sides of the river from this location. The location is very good.

There are mostly tall maples in the back and west, and there are also cotinus trees at the foot of the mountain. The scenery will definitely be picturesque in autumn. How happy it would be to bring the family to have a barbecue in this environment and enjoy the scenery while eating.

After choosing a place, Lin Heng made a detailed plan. Fifty or sixty square meters was enough to build a temporary cabin.

Lin Heng then searched for prey in the woods for a while, but he was not lucky today. Not only did he not find any prey, he was stung by a live spicy pepper, and he carried a small bag on his back.

After going down the mountain and pulling mulberry and mulberry leaves from the field to feed the forest musk deer and pig badgers, Lin Heng took his wife and children to play in the water for an hour, and waited until the sun went down before carrying his things home.

It was already past six o'clock. Lin Heng was walking on the road with his wife and children when suddenly bursts of piercing horns sounded.

Looking back, I saw a red motorcycle roaring from a distance, with three young men sitting on it.

Lin Heng recognized the man driving the motorcycle at a glance as Zhao Hu, the village chief's son, but he ignored him and pulled his daughter back on the roadside.

However, many people in Murakami looked over curiously when they saw the motorcycle.

Stab, Zhao Hu stopped suddenly, parked the motorcycle next to Lin Heng, looked at him and said with a smile: "Lin Heng, how about my motorcycle?"

The two people sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle were Jin Hai and Liu Sheng. Both of them looked very proud, as if they had made a lot of money recently.

　The card was seriously damaged and it was sent a little late.
