What they are about to enter is a very orderly and busy village. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Because, there are minerals here.

In fact, it should be called a small town, not a village.

In this town, there are five hundred permanent residents, half of whom are engaged in mining, working for the state and merchants in the huge veins.

For many reasons, they always live one or two decades less than their expected life expectancy, and their extraordinary physique does protect them to a certain extent, but the long-term high-intensity work and the large amount of dust deposition inhaled by the lungs have put their bodies to a great test.

However, the whole village is thriving, developing rapidly, and is constantly expanding, almost equal to a small city, where everyone has money, much richer than ordinary families, which they have in exchange for a reduced lifespan.

In addition, there are many people who have come down from the mining unit, retired from the elderly, very young, old-fashioned, that is, the other half of the population, who are still maintaining ancient farming.

On the way they came, they also met two small farmers, a small mill owner.

Basically, this business is going to be done, at least that's what the team leader said, and it's a little strange today, Alec suddenly assigned Albert to talk to a small farmer about business, about the business of horses, it shouldn't be like this, for the caravan, he is always an informal member, so there is only one possibility, that is, this task is specifically for him, and there is any important business that cannot be known to outsiders.

can understand, can execute, eight classmates also followed, this business is also very simple, a small farm mainly buys pets for their grandchildren and granddaughters.

He looked back at the young men who looked happy.

Those people didn't understand the deep meaning of this mission at all, in his opinion, it was almost heartless, and if they encountered similar things in the future, they should understand, life is a good teacher, and they will definitely let simple little fools learn what they should understand.

"All you have to do is play with the children, and I'm going to negotiate with the farmer, okay?"

"Don't worry!" the men cracked their mouths, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "absolutely no problem. ”

"I don't know much about business negotiations, but I want to see and learn. Cecilia was intrigued, "Is that okay?" "Then come on." In his opinion, one more person will not make any difference, "take a good look." ”

Compared to the villages I had seen before, there was a lack of laid-back and casualness, and there was a sense of urgency, and people walked faster.

There are fewer people on the streets, and most of the young people are still mining, and it's working time.

The buildings of the whole village are all sturdier stone houses, boxy, several hand-dug ditches, some washed vegetables, washed clothes of domestic sewage, as for excrement, are treated in special places, used to produce biogas, in addition to mining, the locals will also use the excavated coal mines and the production of biogas to make paper, using a plant that is not much different from bamboo.

In addition to the process of making paper, which involves steaming, which requires fuel, there is also a well salt workshop in the town, which requires fuel, and a large number of merchants pass by here every month, reselling goods back and forth.

Mining, papermaking, well salt, standard commercial town.

In the orderly streets, they met the farmer they had made an appointment, a very kind old man.

"Hello, young man, have you brought all the ponies I want?" "Sir, they have all been brought, you can take a closer look and pick whatever you want." "Of course, if the kids like it, drive these ponies to my farm." "No problem. ”

Albert beckoned behind him, and the five ponies were meekly led.

The two chatted while walking, and he followed each other's intentions without a trace, and finally talked about speculation.

"A farm with a lot of room for development. "For example, in a field of artificially planted Chimeiara flowers, you can raise some chickens that eliminate pests and diseases, and then you can raise some ducks, their droppings can be used as natural fertilizer, and the fallen petals are also cleaned by the birds as their food, and after the Chimeiara flowers are sold, the remaining branches can be used to weave art." ”

"You can also raise fish in the rice field, dig a ditch from the stream passing by, divert water to the field, and then plug the ditch, raise some vegetarian fish in the rice field, when the rice blooms, the fish will almost grow, you can catch the fish to eat or sell, there are certain business opportunities in this area, after all, as long as half an hour away, you can reach the big city with a population of 500,000 from here, so many people, the food consumed in a day is already amazing. ”

"A lot of times, areas can be overlapped. Fish farming in rice fields, chickens and ducks in flower fields, and polyculture of a variety of fish in the lake, such as: shrimp, crabs, fish, just raising one animal is a waste of space. ”

"I'd be happy to hire you to work on my farm if you want. ”

There was already a little more truth in the old man's tone: "Your point of view has given me some help, and if it succeeds, it will bring great benefits." ”

"You're so kind, it's just a lip service to me, and it's my honor to be able to help you. Albert also smiled sincerely, "I'm not a farmer, and professional things should be left to professional people, right?"

"I'll definitely try it. ”

Standing in front of the gate of the farm, everyone can already see the wooden frame houses not far away.

The big house was a place for cows, and there was a large pasture inside the farm for raising sheep, producing wool, and goat's milk, and every winter, one or two old sheep were slaughtered, most of them were sold, and the rest were eaten by himself, and he also saw chicken coops and duck cages, but there were no horses.

"The farm has only been up and running for a short time, but I'm finally on the right track. ”

"As you know, there are no horses on the farm, I have to pick two for the children as pets, and the rest will have a male and a female, as future stallions, I have little experience in many things, but I can try. The farmer was in a good mood, "Ah, here the kids are." ”

The two children, running very fast, came up and down, and it seemed that they had been waiting, and when they saw that the old man had returned, they ran straight over, and chose the pony that they looked at the most.

"Thank you, big brother!" "I'm going to call you Mindray!"

They had already chosen the names of their horses, and looked at the old man with great eagerness.

"Okay, these horses are yours, and I want all the ponies here, six in all. "One hand to pay, the other hand to deliver. "According to the price that was said, no one will be missing you." ”

It went well, and the opposite side didn't even cut the price, so the money was given, and all the horses were handed over at the agreed price.

"It's so fast, it's over all at once. Cecilia watched the men scrambling to play with the children, and took out her own book, "I thought there would be bargaining or something." "The customers I met this time were very bold. "Shall we go back now?"

"Nope. Albert leaned against the farm fence and looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, "We'll stay outside for a while." ”

"Let's wait for the [big business] over there to be negotiated. ”
