Before lunch, Liu Qingshan called the boss who delivered cement last time and asked the boss to send a few bags of cement and some stainless steel pipes.

After lunch, Liu Qingshan took these things to Maokengdi.

The thatched pit is next to the mountain, the mountain next to it is quite extensive, and the creek is in the gable channel on both sides of the mountain, and the water vapor evaporates into the air, which will definitely bring enough moisture to this mountain, so this place is the best place to build an awning for cinnabar roots to grow.

To build an awning, whether complex or simple, requires poles to support the shade net.

Among them, the poles that lie under the shade net can be made of bamboo, but it is better to use steel pipes that are buried in the ground for the vertical poles that have a longer service life.

After all, it's either not done, and since you want to do it, you naturally have to do it better.

However, because it is uncertain whether the awning will continue to be used in the future, it is not necessary to make the best awning, after all, if the cinnabar root is not planted in the future, the awning will be redundant and may become a hindrance.

Therefore, the crossbar of the awning should be made of bamboo, but if the vertical pole is erected, it is still necessary to use a steel pipe.

Poles can not only be used to build awnings, but also when the awnings are removed, they will not become a source of sunlight, and may be used for other purposes, such as climbing plants, erecting water pipes, erecting electrical wires, etc.

In order for the steel pipe to become a long-lasting vertical pole, cement and sand must be used.

Before that, Liu Qingshan first dug several pits in the ground, then mixed cement sand, and then poured cement mortar into the soil pit and buried the steel pipes.

These jobs seem to be a lot of work, but they are nothing for Liu Qingshan.

In one afternoon, he not only made the awning, but also moved all the cinnabar roots that were originally placed in the patio here.

At the same time, water was also received from the creek with a water hose and directly sprayed and watered the cinnabar roots.

The patio has been emptied. Liu Yuanhe looked at the patio covered with moss, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned: "Actually, those cinnabar roots are good here in the patio." ”

At least that way, you don't have to face the slippery moss on the patio every day.

Liu Qingshan disagreed: "It's not good, since you have decided to continue digging cinnabar roots, it must be managed in a unified manner, it is impossible to say that you can put some at home and put some in the ground, so it is too troublesome to manage." ”

Liu Yuanhe looked at the empty and dirty patio and sighed.

Immediately, he said: "You see that the patio of our house is empty, it doesn't seem to be very hygienic, if there is a pot of red cinnabar roots in the patio, it will feel a lot more comfortable in an instant, don't you say?"

This means that you rabbit cub, if you get those cinnabar roots, you will get me another big pot.

Liu Qingshan said with a smile: "Dad, you didn't dislike them before, and you still think that they blocked the light of the hall." ”

"Hehe, that was before, now I have seen these little red fruits for a few days, and I still think they are strange and beautiful, and they are also festive, and I see the red little fruits every day, and people are also happy. ”

Hearing that his father, who had always been stubborn, had subtly changed his attitude with cinnabar roots, Liu Qingshan instantly felt that the decision to dig cinnabar roots was very correct.

If even the natural bar spirit like my dad can be changed by the cuteness and joy of cinnabar roots, and have a heart of liking, then let alone others.

Although cinnabar roots have not been sold yet, Liu Qingshan has a good hunch that these cinnabar roots will definitely not be sold.

However, the premise is that he can take good enough care of these cinnabar roots.

As long as they maintain their elegance and agility, it will not be difficult to sell them for a good price when the time comes.

Even if a large cinnabar root sells for a hundred yuan, if he digs a hundred or so trees, it will be enough for 10,000 yuan.

Not to mention, the price of cinnabar root has to change depending on the appearance and form. The bigger the better, the higher the price.

At that time, at the end of the year, you will definitely be able to make a small profit by selling the cinnabar root for the year's evening flowers.

Although you can earn thousands a day by digging yams and bamboo shoots before, it is not a matter of the past after all, and now if you dig yams and bamboo shoots, it is estimated that there will be no 1,000 yuan a day.

One is that the market is full, which affects the price, and the other is because the stock in the mountains is drastically reduced, which affects the harvest.

According to the previous ratio, the villagers dig twenty catties of yams a day, and he can dig two hundred catties a day, and now the villagers dig a few catties of yams a day, so even if he tries his best, it is estimated that he can only dig twenty or thirty catties.

Twenty or thirty catties of yams, only three or four hundred yuan, is really not cost-effective.

Therefore, it is still necessary to focus on the cinnabar root that can make a long-term plan.

Cinnabar root is different from bamboo shoot yam. Cinnabar roots can't be dug back to get a profit, compared to the instant income of yam bamboo shoots, it is naturally a little insufficient.

However, this deficiency is also the advantage of cinnabar root. It can be used as a long-term investment, and even if you can't sell it, you don't have to worry about it breaking down or depreciating.

As long as it is still growing, its value will only get higher and higher, not lower and lower like the long-lasting yam bamboo shoots.

Another point is that the cinnabar root is one's own, and others can't snatch it away, and they can't take it away.

In this way, although digging cinnabar roots cannot see the benefits immediately, Liu Qingshan is still full of passion.

Early in the morning, before dawn, he went out.

Wu Cuimei had just gotten up, and when she saw her son going out with tools and a flashlight on her mobile phone, she couldn't help but shout: "Qingshan, what are you doing? What time is it? What are you doing so early?"

"Mom, I'm going into the mountains to dig cinnabar roots. Liu Qingshan looked back at his mother and said with a smile, "The location given by my father is relatively far, and it takes more than two hours to walk, so I want to start early, so that it will take longer to dig three forks in the mountains, and I can dig more." ”

Seeing her young son working so hard, Wu Cuimei was a little uncomfortable.

There are many boys in the village who are the same age as Qingshan, and most of them have gone to work outside. However, the parents of these people complained that when these children came back from work, they had to sleep until three strokes in the morning before getting up for breakfast.

But what about her son? Before dawn, he was going into the mountains with a flashlight. How could this not make her mother's heart distressed.

"Qingshan, why don't you wait first, Mom will make you a pot of hot tea, and you will drink it before you go into the mountain. Wu Cuimei said distressedly, "It's winter now, it's cold in the mountains, drink more tea, and your body is more comfortable." ”

"Mom, no need, I just drank the oil tea brewed yesterday morning in the thermos pot, it's all the same, don't worry, I'm in good health, I have to take a detour when I see the cold in the mountains." ”

Liu Qingshan smiled, turned around and blended into the dark night.

Wu Cuimei looked at the light that was fading away, and she felt bad in her heart.

This kid is too hard.

I really hope that God will open his eyes and see how hard her son works, see how diligent her son is, and never inflict any more harm on her son.

For example, a wild boar, or a big cat.

Don't let that happen.

Wu Cuimei stared at the dark night sky and prayed silently.

She couldn't go into the mountains with her son, so she had to pray.

After thinking about it, he hurriedly turned around and came to the hall, took out three bamboo incense sticks from the altar, lit them with a lighter and inserted them into the altar of incense, then folded his hands, and said to the altar: "Qingshan's grandparents, grandparents, grandfathers and grandmothers, the ancestors of the old Liu family, you must bless Qingshan, let him be safe and healthy, and don't encounter any danger." Our family is such a lone seedling, he must not have anything to do. ”

Thinking of the fact that her son was almost stabbed through the ass by a wild boar before, Wu Cuimei felt chills.

If the wild boar is a little stronger, it is estimated that the son will have to be a eunuch.
