Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 151 New Equipment, Ten Thousand Yuan Households

"What is it, brother?"

Lin Heng walked over curiously and saw that his eldest brother was in a mountain stream.

Lin Yue held a stone and said in shock: "Lin Heng, look at this stone. It has a Bagua diagram on it. Is it valuable?"

"Bagua map?"

Lin Heng came over with a confused look on his face and took a closer look. He saw that it was a palm-sized light yellow smooth pebble, but it had very clear brown-black lines in the shape of a trigram.

Lin Heng explained with a smile: "This should be a fossil. Some tree hearts are shaped like this. When turned into fossils, they look like Bagua diagrams."

"Fossils? Are they valuable?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

When he was a child, he might have been happy for a long time when he picked up such a beautiful stone and showed it off everywhere. Now he just wants to know if it is worth anything.

"It's worth some money, and I think it can be sold for a few dollars, but no one here is buying it. You have to get it from Ancheng. Maybe someone likes it and will pay a high price for it." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He searched again in the water and found two small ones. There were no Bagua pictures on them, but there were patterns like small bubbles.

This is also a kind of fossil. I didn't expect that there are such fossils on this mountain.

"Then I'll take it home and keep it. If I have a chance to go to Ancheng in the future, I'll sell it." Lin Yue grinned and continued looking.

Father Lin looked surprised: "There are still people buying this rotten stone? Are you sure you're not too full to hold it up?"

"Absolutely. There are people buying everything. It's just like buying jade. It's also a kind of stone." Lin Heng nodded. The market for this kind of stone is quite big in later generations.

When Father Lin heard this, he clapped his hands and asked regretfully: "I have picked up that kind of blood-red stone before, can I sell it too?"

Lin Heng nodded: "Of course, you are talking about chicken blood stone. It can indeed be sold. The good-looking ones are quite expensive."

Father Lin immediately regretted it: "Oh, I picked up two pieces before, but I thought it was unlucky and threw them into the river again."

Seeing his father's regretful look, Lin Heng smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, Dad, just don't throw it away next time."

There are a lot of good things in the mountains, but many times they require a certain level of education, and even if you don’t have a discerning eye, you won’t be able to recognize the treasures in front of you.

In this era, many good things in rural areas have been exchanged for pots and pans by people from the city. This is due to the low level of education of rural people and the closed environment.

"Let's look for it, and go to the mountain to see how the wooden house looks like." Father Lin became interested in looking for stones.

It's just that this thing is hard to come by, and he didn't find anything until he reached the top of the mountain. Lin Heng saw many beautiful calamus, and threw them into the barrel along with the attached stones.

There was no sign of rain leaking in the cabin on the mountain. The wooden boards stacked in the cabin were almost dry, but there were more bird droppings.

Lin Heng will buy all the paint, insulation cotton and other things when he goes to the city this time, and then he will be able to build the cabin he has longed for in one go.

The autumn wind was very cool on the way home, and the temperature dropped significantly after the continuous rain.

Xiulan made breakfast. Her parents and her eldest brother all ate at home. Her sister-in-law ate by herself and went up the mountain to find medicinal materials.

Lin Heng didn't do much in the afternoon. He placed the Acorus in the fish pond as a landscape. He loves this plant very much. It is evergreen all year round and grows on rocks. It exudes a unique fragrance and has a quiet and elegant temperament.

After arranging the calamus and admiring it for a while, Lin Heng went to help collect the soybeans in Hongfeng Mountain. After collecting the soybeans, he could start the construction of the fish pond at the end of the month.

Harvesting soybeans is very simple, just pull them up by the roots and tie them into bundles to take home.

Early the next morning, Lin Heng packed up the black truffles at home. This time, after drying them last time, there were still ten kilograms and seven taels.

He kept seven taels for his own use at home, and took the rest to Huangtan Town on horseback. The dirt road from Hongfeng Village to Huangtan Town has been repaired, and he estimated that the road to the city should be fine. .

Wang Zhou was extremely excited when he saw Lin Heng appear: "Brother Lin, you are finally down."

"Nothing happened in the store, right?" Lin Heng got off his horse and patted his shoulder and asked.

Wang Zhou shook his head and said: "No, I recently collected another batch of mushrooms, and I only have more than fifty yuan in cash left, which is not enough."

"Okay, weigh this and put it aside." Lin Heng handed the black truffle in the bag to Wang Zhou.

"Black truffles!!" Wang Zhou was stunned when he opened the bag, "Brother Lin, did you collect this?"

Lin Heng showed his white teeth and smiled: "No, I dug this myself."

Wang Zhou suddenly opened his mouth: "Oh my God... Brother Lin, don't you make more money by driving the mountain by yourself than the purchasing station and the canteen combined?"

Lin Heng patted him and said with a smile, "It's just occasionally."

Wang Zhou didn't know what to say, so he took it and weighed it. The ten kilograms were accurate and recorded in the account.

Lin Heng took a look at the account book, reconciled the accounts, and carefully checked everything he received. He could not give Wang Zhou the impression that he was undisciplined, which could effectively prevent him from having unnecessary thoughts.

After checking the accounts, Lin Heng found that this month and a half exceeded expectations. The profit of the purchasing station actually reached more than 580 yuan, which was 200 yuan more than expected.

The profit from the canteen was 150 yuan, which was 30 yuan less than the expected 180 yuan.

This is because some things are sold out, and there are still some things that no one buys. After adjustments this month, next month will be much better.

It is not easy for rural people to make money. As long as it is not necessary, they will not spend wildly and will save it.

Therefore, even if the canteen has discounts, the turnover is still not much, but it is more than double the monthly profit of other real stores. After all, he has a large flow of people here.

Lin Heng signed the red date into the backyard and tied it up. When he came out, he said directly: "Let's go, let's rent a tractor and go into the city."

"Tractor?" Wang Zhou was stunned.

"Yes, I want to buy something, definitely a tractor." Lin Heng nodded.

Taking Wang Zhou with him, Lin Heng still rented a car from Wang Zhou's previous boss, and the driver was still the driver named Li.

"Boss Lin!" The driver's uncle looked at Lin Heng and smiled a little shyly. The incident of selling the horse last time made him embarrassed to face Lin Heng.

"Then I'll trouble you today." Lin Heng looked at him and said with a smile, without any unnecessary expression.

"Okay." The driver nodded, found cardboard boxes for Lin Heng and Wang Zhou to sit on and lean on, and then drove the tractor towards the city.

At about ten o'clock, we entered the city and found a place to stop outside the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Lin Heng went in and successfully obtained his business license.

After getting the business license, he went to see Jin Fuqiang, successfully signed the contract, and contacted someone to come up and sell the goods tomorrow.

After inviting Qian Fuqiang to lunch, Lin Heng went to find wholesaler Li Chengguo to sign a contract, and gave him a product catalog he had drawn based on the sales of this month.

After signing the contract, Li Chengguo smiled and said, "Boss Lin, why don't you find a place to have a meal?"

"That's no need. I have other things to do." Lin Heng waved his hand and refused.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "By the way, Boss Li, let me ask you something. Do you know where I can buy a modern compound bow?"

Although he spent a long time in Changbai City in his previous life, not all things and channels were clear, so he thought he might gain something else by asking.

"Well, I actually know a person. I'll take you to ask him, but I'm not sure if he sells anything." Li Chengguo had a smile on his generous face.

"That would be troublesome."

Lin Heng said with a smile, turned around and told Wang Zhou, and he took Li Chengguo's motorcycle to a community.

"I'll go in and ask you first, please wait a moment." When they arrived, Li Chengguo said with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded and stood there waiting.

Not long after, a tall, thin young man in his twenties walked out with Li Chengguo, carrying a black bow bag.

"Lin Heng, let me introduce you, this is Ge Qingshan." Li Chengguo introduced with a smile.

Lin Heng smiled and stretched out his hand: "Hello."

Ge Qingshan shook hands with Lin Heng and said with a smile: "Hello, I bought this bow in Ancheng. I bought it for myself to play with. It is relatively expensive. It cost three hundred yuan. It can shoot three to four hundred yuan." Domi.”

"Let me take a look at the bow first." Lin Heng looked at him and said.

"Okay, you and I come here." Ge Qingshan nodded and took Lin Heng to an uninhabited closed place that was 70 to 80 meters long and could be used to test arrows.

"Look, this is the bow and arrow I bought. Unfortunately, my skills are not very good and I don't know how to play. I want to sell it."

Ge Qingshan opened the hard bow bag, and lying inside was a black-painted modern compound bow with pulleys and adjustable weight.

Lin Heng could tell at a glance that this was a relatively entry-level modern compound bow. It was incomparable to the fully equipped compound bow he bought for tens of thousands of yuan in his previous life.

When I picked it up and looked at it, I realized that this young man didn't know much about how to play, and there were problems with the bow and arrow debugging.

First of all, he adjusted the weight too much. Forty-five pounds is equivalent to a pulling force of forty-three kilograms. It is impossible for novices to do it.

Secondly, there is the arrow rest, and the sights are not installed properly.

Seeing Lin Heng skillfully adjusting the accessories, Ge Qingshan couldn't help but ask: "Brother, I see you are so skillful. Have you ever played a compound bow?"

"Yes, I have played." Lin Heng nodded.

After adjusting it, I took out an arrow and looked at it. This arrow was not bad, it was a full carbon arrow, and the arrowhead was an ordinary cross-shaped arrowhead for practice.

Next to him, Ge Qingshan looked at Lin Heng and asked curiously: "Can you hit the target from thirty meters away?"

Thirty meters is his limit.

Lin Heng turned to look at him and said with a smile: "If I just hit the target, I can hit it at a hundred meters. At this distance, I can hit more than five rings."

"Seventy-five meters and above five rings? Are you too bragging to draft?"

Ge Qingshan stared at the old man with his neck stretched out. He didn't believe Lin Heng's boast. He had a deep understanding of how difficult archery was.

Lin Heng smiled slightly and said no more. He glanced at the target in the distance, which was about seventy-five meters away. He put on the release device and started aiming.

The so-called releaser is an accessory specially used to pinch the arrow and draw the bow. It is much more accurate than pinching the arrow directly with your hands to release it.

The reason why modern compound bows have high accuracy is because every step is done to the extreme. Any areas that may cause inaccurate accuracy have been improved and some peripherals have been added.

But no matter how good the bow and arrow are, it mainly depends on the person who uses the bow and arrow. An expert can shoot through a poplar with a hundred steps with a wooden bow, but a novice may not be able to hit a thirty-meter can with the top-notch fully equipped modern compound bow.

Lin Heng, on the other hand, belongs to the category of masters and has extraordinary talent in this area.

After taking aim, he released it gently, and the sharp arrow shot through the air, piercing the target with a bang and hitting the nine rings.

"Nine Rings, oh my god! Sharpshooter!" Ge Qingshan next to him was shocked. Let alone the Nine Rings, he couldn't hit the target from such a long distance.

It turned out that Lin Heng really wasn't bragging, he was even being humble.

Li Chengguo couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Awesome!" He originally thought that Lin Heng was also a novice, just buying and playing, but now it seems that he is a hidden master.

"This bow is okay, but the arrow rest is a bit not very good, and the shock absorber and balance rod are just average." Lin Heng smiled and put down the bow and arrow. It had been a long time since he had used a modern compound bow, and he really missed it.

The things made with modern materials and technology are so good. Even the entry-level bow and arrow can beat any traditional bow and arrow in an instant.

With this bow, he was confident of shooting a rabbit from 100 meters away.

Ge Qingshan ran over and looked at the archery target again. Nine rings, this is the nine rings.

"Master Lin, I want to become my teacher and teach me how to play a compound bow. I am willing to sell you this bow at half the price."

Ge Qingshan ran back and looked at Lin Heng excitedly. His attitude changed completely, and he almost knelt down and worshiped Lin Heng as his adoptive father.

He is not short of money, but he is short of a friend who can play compound bows. There are no modern compound bows in Changbai City, and Ancheng is too far away, so his family will not let him run around.

In fact, even in Anseong, there are very few people playing modern compound bows in this era.

Lin Heng glanced at him and said with a smile: "I can teach you, but I live in the mountains and come down once every month or two. I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

Ge Qingshan was stunned: "You live in the mountains, do you often hunt?"

"Yeah, what's the problem with this?" Lin Heng said with a smile.

Ge Qingshan grabbed Lin Heng's arm and begged: "Brother, I also want to go hunting. I think hunting with a bow and arrow is so cool. Please teach me."

"You'd better practice your skills first. Then you go buy a bow. I'll guide you once a month. It's enough. Once you learn how to use it, practice more." Lin Heng shook his head.

"Okay, thank you Brother Lin." Ge Qingshan said with a smile.

"Just call me Lin Heng. I bought this bow." Lin Heng said with a smile. Although it is an entry-level compound bow, it is much better than woodworking. Naturally, he will not let it go if he encounters it.

After paying Ge Qingshan 150 yuan, Lin Heng explained to him how to use a bow and arrows, what kind of accessories he should buy, and asked him to help buy thirty more hunting arrows.

In this era, the domestic industrial level was too poor. Modern compound bows were imported and very expensive. A bow costs an ordinary person one or two years' salary, and only the rich can afford it.

Ge Qingshan originally wanted to give up playing compound bow, but now he has renewed hope. He looked at Lin Heng and said with a smile: "Brother Lin, I will definitely get all the equipment next month."

"See you next month." Lin Heng waved his hand and left with his bow bag on his back.

After riding Li Chengguo's motorcycle back, Lin Heng took the tractor to buy a lot of things such as waterproof paint, flame-retardant insulation cotton, copper hot pot, wheat and rape seeds, purple sand teapots and cups.

These things are not expensive, and the total amount for such a large amount is less than 150 yuan.

After finishing it, he returned to Huangtan Town with the truck driven by Li Chengguo. This time, Lin Heng still bought 500 yuan worth of goods, but they were all goods that had been tested and sold well.

After unloading the goods and leaving Wang Zhou behind, Lin Heng rode back to the village with a tractor loaded with goods.

As the roar of the tractor sounded in the village, it attracted the attention of many people.

"Lin Heng, what did you do?" Someone asked curiously from a distance.

Lin Heng pointed to the fireproof insulation cotton piled high in the car and said with a smile: "The insulation cotton I bought is not worth it."

After saying that, Lin's father, Xiulan, and others all came out to help. They all knew that Lin Heng was going to bring something back in the afternoon, so they didn't go out.

"So much insulation cotton!" Father Lin was a little surprised when he looked at the tall car.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to buy more at once." Lin Heng said with a smile and started to move things.

After moving the things, he sent the driver away and returned to the yard where his parents and eldest brother were watching him.

"Has the business license been obtained?" Lin's father asked.

Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "Okay, a car will come to pick up the goods tomorrow."

After hearing this, Father Lin felt relieved: "That's good."

He was afraid that if the contract was not negotiated well, the goods would be ruined in his hands.

"Brother, what's in that black bag of yours?" Lin Yue asked, pointing to the bow bag Lin Heng placed on the seat.

"This is a modern compound bow. It can shoot three to four hundred meters." Lin Heng smiled and opened the bow package to show them.

"Three to four hundred meters, isn't that more powerful than a gun?" Father Lin looked at this thing made of iron and was a little unconvinced.

"It's definitely better than a hunting rifle, but it's incomparable to a real rifle or something." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

After a pause, he continued to explain: "I can shoot a rabbit from 100 meters with this bow, and it is no problem to shoot a muntjac wild boar from 200 meters. The disadvantage is that it is not easy to hold and a bit heavy."

Even if this is a hunting bow with a shorter arm, it will still be difficult to hold.

"It's so powerful, then you will make a fortune this winter." Lin Yue said. There is no way for ordinary animals to take precautions at a distance of a hundred meters.

"After I modify the arrow, I will go to the mountain to test its power in a few days." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"We can accompany you to Daliang Mountain to guard wild boars. There is a piece of soybean there that has been infested by wild boars recently." Father Lin nodded and said. He also wanted to see the power of this modern bow and arrow up close.

"Okay, I'll give it a try in two days." Lin Heng nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while, his parents and elder brother left. Lin Hengcai took out a beautiful silk flower hairpin from his pocket and handed it to his wife: "This is for you."

Xiulan blinked, showing a hint of surprise: "Thank you, husband, it's so beautiful~"

This hairpin is made of blue silk yarn as the base and flowers made of blue silk yarn as the main body. It is very beautiful.

After Xiulan put it on, she showed an even more elegant and gentle temperament, which stunned Lin Heng.

"Dad, I want it too." Xiaoxia hugged his leg and pouted, looking very sad.

"Then have you prepared a gift for me?" Lin Heng knelt down and asked with a smile.

"I...I'll give you flowers!" Xiaoxia was stunned for a moment, then took the chrysanthemums picked by Xiulan on the table and handed them to him.

"I'll pick it by myself next time. I also bought you a little rabbit hairpin." Lin Heng smiled and took a little rabbit hairpin from the cabinet for her to wear on her forehead.

"Okay! I'm Little Tuji!" Xiaoxia jumped up in the room.

Lin Hengsheng was afraid that she would fall, so he watched from the side.

When she was tired from dancing, he went to tinker with his own arrows. This compound bow came with fifteen arrows, and he needed to modify the arrows into hunting arrows.

It's the kind of flat triangular arrow, or triangular arrow, which has a stronger killing effect on prey.

According to common sense, this arrow should be adjusted by a specialized person according to the poundage and shooting distance of the compound bow, so that it can be more accurate.

But this is obviously unrealistic in rural areas. If Lin Heng modifies it himself, it won't have much impact on the accuracy. He can use his technology to close this gap.

During dinner in the evening, Lin Heng looked at Xiulan and asked, "Honey, do you want to go to town with me tomorrow?"

"Forget it, it's not a market day. I want to help mom beat soybeans." Xiulan shook her head.

"Okay, but remember to use the hand cream and face cream I bought for you. Don't be reluctant to part with it." Lin Heng reminded again.

Xiulan glanced at him and said with a smile: "I must be using it. I'm afraid you won't want me if I become ugly."

Lin Heng rolled his eyes at her: "It's okay to be afraid. If you're afraid of becoming ugly, then do less work and don't tire yourself out."

"But don't worry, I want you no matter what." Lin Heng added.

Xiulan blinked and said nothing. She believed what Lin Heng said.

The next day, on the morning of the 19th, Lin Heng rode a horse to Huangtan Town. There would be cars pulling in goods today.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the truck from the city came up. After completing the docking with Lin Heng, the goods were counted, the accounts were settled, and the money was paid to the credit union on the spot.

After sending the person away, Lin Heng looked at his bankbook. There was 8,550 yuan in it. Adding the 500 cash stored in the store, his current savings reached 9,100 yuan.

This money is real money, not counting the goods worth about 700 yuan that are still in the store, and the 1,000 yuan that the owner of Tuanjie Brick Factory owes him but has not repaid.

In this month, he spent almost 1,800 yuan on clothes, electric saws, digging fish ponds, horses, lime and other miscellaneous items for his family. Xiulan still had two to three hundred yuan left.

The main money he earned was 1,400 yuan from black truffles, which he earned from traveling in the mountains.

The buying station and concession stand made six hundred and fifty yuan.

In total, he earned 2,050 yuan in just over a month.

There is 9,100 yuan in cash in the account, but in fact, his assets now have reached more than 13,000 yuan, which is a proper account of 10,000 yuan.

Lin Heng took out 22 yuan and a salary slip and handed them to Wang Zhou, smiling and saying: "Here, this is your salary last month. The extra two yuan is an incentive. You work very seriously, keep working hard. "

"Thank you, Brother Lin!" Wang Zhou was overjoyed and signed the salary slip before taking the money into his hand and counting it carefully.

Although thousands of dollars have passed through his hands this month, it still doesn't feel as secure as the twenty-two.

"By the way, let me find a time to take you to see the girl I'm looking for for you. You can see if she's suitable." Lin Heng said again.

As soon as he mentioned the baby girl, Wang Zhou became shy and said, "Brother Lin, you can make the decision."

Lin Heng slapped him in the face and said speechlessly: "I am the one who calls the shots. It's not my wife. If you don't like it, just find another one."

Wang Zhou had no choice but to agree: "Okay, then Brother Lin, just let me know sometime."

Lin Heng nodded. If Wang Zhou and Liu Cihua knew each other, there would be little difficulty for his parents.

After things were settled here, Lin Heng rode back home. On the road, he saw a cyclist riding a traditional 28-meter pole. He was considered a rich man.

He didn't buy a bicycle because he thought it was inconvenient, and riding a horse was also very cool.

After returning home, Lin Heng tied the horse and couldn't wait to go to the old house to find his wife to share his joy.

As soon as I walked into the house, I found my parents and uncle Xiulan sitting in the main room with serious faces, as if something big had happened.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Heng was stunned and felt something was wrong.

ps: There are only 6,000 words today. I haven’t talked about Kavin recently and I haven’t been feeling well.

I was eating steamed buns this morning and lost my key. I had to wait for an hour for the locksmith to come up. It was really unlucky.

Finally, can you give me a few monthly passes? I would like to shamelessly ask for it. I really want to break through 1,000 monthly passes in a single month.
