A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 215 [215] Zhou Tao Mechanical Engineering (3000)

Although it is already March in the Gregorian calendar, the cold spring forces them to wear thinner cotton padded clothes. Zhuo Lin is wearing a thin cotton padded jacket made of new cotton and floral cloth, which is suitable for wearing when the cold spring is coming. One-layer unlined clothing to prevent getting dirty and can be changed and washed. The so-called unlined clothing is also clothes made of ordinary cotton cloth, and the trousers are also thin cotton trousers, either black or blue. Rich people in this era buy woolen coats, which have different styles. The cotton trousers and black leather shoes, Zhuo Lin didn't dare to be so ostentatious, so she followed the trend and wore the cotton clothes she made herself.

The soil is really soil, but it is very comfortable to wear and very down-to-earth. You can wear clothes of any age to be decent!
Although she felt that there was nothing to get together with her high school classmates, she was too embarrassed to refuse the initiative of the two boys, so she had to take them home.

When passing by the vegetable market, seeing a chicken seller, Xu Yang insisted on buying one, but she didn't stop him, so he could only let him go. Considering that there was still bacon brought back from his hometown, it was enough for five people.

When there are many people, it is most suitable to make ground pot chicken with pancakes, and then add flavorful bacon, vermicelli, and cornmeal pancakes. Oh, just thinking about the taste makes your mouth water.

In the capital city of the 70s, as long as you can pick up firewood, ground pots exist. If you feel that firewood is not enough, you can put firewood underneath and put a briquette on top. If you can use a large iron pot to cook the taste of ground pot chicken .

Because of the large number of people, Zhuo Lin bought potatoes, tofu, and sweet potatoes as toppings. After they tasted good, they tasted really good.

When I got home, I took out two bell peppers from the crock pot. This kind of pepper is not spicy, not to mention the meaty texture, but also very flavorful. Adding two big bell peppers to the ground pot chicken will improve the taste .

What Zhuo Lin said to the outside world is a rented house. The old man and the old lady are the landlords (this has been agreed with the old man), and they usually take good care of her, so they brought her back. When Zhuo Lin said that everyone should eat together, no one did To express dissatisfaction, Zhuo Lin likes to prepare all the side dishes, and then bring them to the yard to fry. Find it in the big crock.

Xu Yang and Zhou Tao had visited her hut and looked at the signs placed in the yard. After riding the tricycle, their admiration for Zhuo Lin was also born spontaneously. She is a girl who can support herself to this point. As boys, they, Really feel ashamed.

"Your earthen pot is a treasure chest. It has everything, and there are some dishes that are not in season?"

Regarding off-season vegetables, Zhuo Lin’s unified answer is: “I know a friend who is engaged in agricultural research. He has a few acres of land in the suburbs of Beijing, and he specializes in this kind of off-season vegetable farming. He usually brings me some. , I was still thinking about going back and learning from him to see if I can try various things in this yard."

This was the first time Xu Yang and Zhou Tao heard about vegetables that were out of season. Under Zhuo Lin's popularization, the two of them scratched their heads in annoyance when they suddenly realized.

"Did we choose the wrong major? Why do I think we should go to Agricultural University?"

"Your business management, sooner or later you will be able to manage food."

Zhuo Lin looked at Xu Yang in surprise: "Aren't you from the Department of Physics?"

Zhou Tao snickered next to him: "Student Zhuo Lin, it seems that you don't pay attention to other schools except Huaqing. When did you hear that the National People's Congress has a physics department? He majored in business administration, okay? Xu Yang There is an uncle in the family who works in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of our province,"

Zhuo Lin frowned: "His uncle works in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, what is the connection with his study of business administration? You don't think that this business administration means coming to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to work in the future, right? Although I don't know that the National People's Congress does not have a physics department, I know the Management is a subject with a relatively broad foundation. You can choose a professional direction according to your hobbies. For example, business management, marketing, human resources, financial management, accounting, corporate investment, etc. It seems that Xu Yang is destined to be a business in the future The direction is developing!"

In fact, Zhuo Lin feels that studying business administration is meaningless at all, and studying law is better than business administration, but since she has chosen it, she can't say anything. On the contrary, Zhou Tao's mechanical engineering is more down-to-earth. After August, September and even after 2000, mechanical engineering was the mainstream direction, especially in the period of rapid industrial development. As long as it is used properly, it is not impossible to grow into an engineer in the future.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Xu Yang's people have passed the test. In fact, computer is a mainstream subject at any time. However, there is no such advanced subject in this era. In addition to computer, there is only law, which is suitable for boys. What about economics? , finance, statistics, and accounting are not suitable for the situation of this era, but she thinks that archival studies are suitable for girls.

But as an outsider, she shouldn't say that it's someone else's decision to choose a major. If she can't say it well here, isn't that a blow to people?
"This yard is not small. In fact, you can raise a chicken, so you don't need to buy eggs."

It's not that the old man and the old lady have never thought about this matter, but the old lady was in poor health before, and it was still a problem for the two of them to eat three meals a day. Raising chickens has become nonsense. Now that Zhou Tao mentions it, Zhuo Lynn smiled.

"I have this plan. I will buy a few hens when it gets warmer in a few days."

She built a chicken coop near the base of the wall. The land in the middle of the yard should not be wasted. Planting a vegetable shed, even if it is only a few square meters, is enough for the three of them. Pumpkin, this place is said to be in the city, but in fact it is trying to grow something, raise some poultry, and save as much as you want, you can accumulate more.

Anyone who comes from this era is very good at living, and so is Zhuo Lin.

However, Xu Yang looked at the east wing of their house and asked, "I see a rental sign posted on the door, why? Is this room also going to be rented out?"

There are one room in the east and west wing rooms, three rooms in the main room, and the living room in the middle. The toilet is at the left corner of the gate. It is said to be a toilet, but it is actually a tank. When it is full, it must be emptied in the nearby public toilets. It is actually asbestos tiles. The simple toilet around is convenient for the old couple when the weather is bad, and Zhuo Lin usually helps to do it.

The kitchen built on the right side of the gate, although there is no door, is very clean and tidy, with briquettes piled up in the corner, and there is about five or six square meters of open space in the yard, which is usually used to grow vegetables. It is built in the corner where the wing rooms intersect, and there is no other place.

"Not only the east wing room is for rent, but also one of our main rooms. If Linlin's house hadn't been renovated, we actually wanted her to move to the main room, so that we could rent out the east and west rooms. "

A house of about [-] square meters like theirs can more or less charge a rent of three to five yuan a month. With this three to five yuan, it is enough to eat meat and buy vegetables.

Back then, there was a glimmer of hope that the children could come back, and they were so empty that they were not willing to rent out. Now they have completely broken up. The old couple knew that Zhuo Lin would be enough to live in one room, so they wanted to rent out the other houses. .

But not everyone can rent it. The people in this yard are old, young and young, and they are still girls, so from the end of the new year to now, I have not been able to find a suitable person.

Xu Yang suddenly had a bold idea: "Do you want to expand the booth you set up?"

As we all know, there are many colleges and universities in Haidian District. Coincidentally, the schools of the three of them are all in Haidian District. If he frees up his weekend time and concentrates on selling food, is it better than doing odd jobs?

And he also saw that the tricycle was welded very well. If they rode to the gate of their school to sell the snacks made by Zhuo Lin, not only would the quantity increase, but would the popularity also increase?
Zhuo Lin is so smart, the word 'expansion' used by Xu Yang made him understand in an instant: "Tell me what you think."

"The two of us come over on the weekend to help you make semi-finished products together, and then we will sell the semi-finished products at the gates of our respective schools. You can give us a wholesale price. When we sell it, it is equivalent to selling your brand. You will definitely not suffer. The wholesale price is profitable, so I suggest converting this east wing room into a workshop. We will rent the room in the main room. With the two of us doing it for you, your workload will be reduced a lot. What do you think? ?”

Zhou Tao on the side was very shocked when he heard this proposal, because he had never thought about it, and now seeing Xu Yang so eager to try, he was also a little excited.

"Can you? Can you?"

"Do you have the money to invest in the early stage?" Welding tricycles, enough to buy pots and pans, briquettes, these are all costs!

Xu Yang smiled like a fox: "We don't have any money in the early stage, but we can work for you. When we pay back, when will we settle the money for them."

Zhou Tao was a little timid at first, but now that he heard Xu Yang's suggestion, he felt that it was really profitable, especially for the whole summer vacation, what would he do at home?Staying in the capital to work and earn money, isn't it good?

In fact, Zhuo Lin's business really has the potential to expand, but she can't do it alone, and she is very satisfied with earning more than 30 yuan a month. It's more than two or thirty yuan, and she has a lot of ideas in her mind. What they want is only semi-finished products, and they don't intend to ask her to give them the secret recipe, which is regarded as a great respect for her. If she wholesales these to them, it will be considered A good way too!
But she still needs to think about the specifics, so she said to the two of them: "Well, I'll think about it tonight. If you are free on the weekend, come and take a look. By the way, take a look at my business and try my pancakes." , if you think it’s okay, then let’s talk about cooperation in detail, as for the renting, there’s no rush.”

Both Xu Yang and Zhou Tao were very happy. After eating and drinking, the two took the first step with their own thoughts, leaving Zhuo Lin to tidy up while thinking about the specific implementation plan.
