A week later, just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the villagers who had been idle for a few months began to be busy looking for work one after another. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

As Wang Zheng expected, on the other side of the Nanhe, Ma Huanhua and Yang Shilong fought.

On one side is a construction team of seven or eight people, and on the other side is a small team of seven or eight people, and the two sides are evenly matched, and the fight is inexorable.

The two groups of people confronted each other for several days, and finally made a move, Ma Huanhua broke Yang Shilong's head, everyone saw that Ma Huanhua had the support of Ma Huanchang behind him, and the construction team's side gradually fell behind. By about 20 days of the first lunar month, only Ma Huanhua and his people were seen in Nanhe.

Now, Wang Xiangzhong has become more and more impressed by his son's vision.

Wang Xiangzhong finally didn't wade into the muddy water in the South River, in fact, the work in the apple orchard alone was enough for him to be busy.

After the beginning of spring, the apple orchard is busy pruning the unpruned fruit trees, and then it is busy fertilizing the fruit trees.

There was a lot of work in the apple orchard, so Wang Xiangzhong hired all the apple orchard contractors in the village who knew how to manage fruit trees. In terms of fruit tree management, Cui Cripple is very set, and then Wang Xiangzhong asked Cui Cripple to be the technical guide of his apple orchard.

In addition to Cui Cripple, Cui Chengcai, Cui Chengliang, Liu Fangping, Yang Shiguo, Zhao Jin, Wang Panyi, Guo Hai, Wu Fuliang and several others also went to Wang Zheng's apple orchard early every morning to work in the appleland. Coupled with Wang Zheng's brother-in-law Wu Xiutao and Wang Xiangzhong, there are eleven laborers working in the apple orchard every day.

The laborers worked, and it was not possible to cook without cooking, so Wang Xiangzhong simply hired Wang Zheng's little concubine to cook, and also hired Yang Shiguo's wife.

Wang Xiangzhong gave Cui Chengcai a daily wage of 15, Cui Cripple's daily wage was 18, Wu Xiutao's daily wage was 25, and the two women who cooked also had a daily wage of 10 yuan. At that time, I couldn't find it with a lantern. You must know that until 2006, the construction workers of the construction team were only paid 30 a day, and in 1991, they gave others 15 a day, and everyone thought Wang Xiangzhong was crazy. However, his son advocated a high salary, and Wang Xiangzhong listened to his son's words.

The salary is high, everyone's enthusiasm for work is also high, and the work efficiency is high, Wang Xiangzhong feels that the salary is also worth it.

In this way, the Wang family suddenly became lively.

Because Wang Zheng is a child, he doesn't have to help in the apple orchard, and he is busiest now training his eagles.

In addition, in order not to make his father feel that he was too demonic, Wang Zheng went around shopping for many books, miscellaneous and varied. Then, as soon as he was free, Wang Zheng began to read the book.

When there was something in the future, Wang Zheng opened his mouth and said "it was said in the book", which on the one hand increased the credibility of his words, and on the other hand, there was a lot of explanation left, which was a lot more convenient.

And Wang Xiangzhong saw that his son went to school on time every day, and read books when he was free, although sometimes he led the dog and the eagle to take his friends crazy, but he didn't care much about it. The son speaks like an adult, and his opinions are more in place than his own, so how can he be embarrassed to say about him?

Wang Zheng needs a lot of rat meat to train eagles, and he can't catch enough rats by himself anyway. So, he mobilized his friends, and every family was busy catching mice. And Wang Zheng didn't let them catch mice in vain, each person caught a mouse, and handed it over to Wang Zheng to get a benefit fee, so everyone's enthusiasm was even higher.

Everyone said that Wang Xiangzhong, father and son, would not live if they had money, and they spent too little.

is also said that now Wang Zheng's daily salary in the apple orchard is 200 yuan less. Fortunately, there is no hurry to pay this expenditure now, and in the rural areas, the wages for work are generally settled at the end of the year. In normal times, if the family really needs money urgently, you can also withdraw your salary from the main family in advance. However, in the countryside, there is not much time to really rush to use money now.

After the New Year, Wang Zheng's family still has a small 2,000 yuan of surplus money, and there should be no problem in coping with it by the end of the year. However, Wang Zheng didn't think so, he planned to make some money, and after the sting, he saw a business opportunity in the mountains.

Taohualing Village, where Wang Zheng's family is located, is surrounded by mountains and belongs to the Mengshan Mountain Range of Taishan, and in a broad sense, it also belongs to the category of the old area of Yimeng Mountain.

In the area of Yimeng Mountain, there is a very famous medicinal insect, Yimeng scorpion.

When he was a child, Wang Zheng often went to the mountains to catch scorpions, and catching a big female scorpion could sell it for three cents, and throughout the spring and summer, Wang Zheng could catch almost one hundred and forty or fifty scorpions, which could be exchanged for forty or fifty yuan of pocket money.

In fact, two hundred Yimeng female scorpions are almost a catty. A pound of scorpions can be sold to the Nanma medicinal materials trading and distribution center more than 30 miles south of Taohualing Village, and you can get at least 2780 yuan in income. This deal is very tempting for Wang Zheng.

After the sting, on the North SD Mountain of Xishan around Taohualing Village, the scorpions that had been dormant for a winter crawled out of their nests and began to move.

This is the golden age for catching scorpions, which are of the best quality and have the highest price.

When you come to the foot of the western mountain, turn over a few small stones, and you will inadvertently find a scorpion crawling out.

Friends like this thing, powerful friends can catch more than a dozen scorpions a day, even those who are unlucky, catch three or two big scorpions a day, it is worth being happy for a while.

After the sting, Wang Zheng issued an order to his friends who had been struggling to catch mice these days, and the Wang family began to collect scorpions.

Moreover, the price at which Wang Zheng collects scorpions is much higher than that of the hawkers who come to the village, the price given by the hawker is three cents for a big scorpion, and the price given by Wang Zheng is five cents for a big scorpion.

In this way, the cost of Wang Zheng to collect two scorpions is 100 yuan. Two hundred big scorpions are one catty, and if they are sold for 280 yuan at the Nanma medicinal materials trading and distribution center, they can still earn 180 yuan, a yield of 18 percent, and Wang Zheng feels very satisfied.

Because Wang Zheng collected scorpions at a very high price, the enthusiasm of the children in Taohualing Village to catch scorpions suddenly rose.

Every afternoon after school, the entire Taohualing Village, from seven or eight-year-old first-grade elementary school students to fourteen-year-old junior high school students, all went up the mountain. As a result, seventy or eighty children go to the mountains every day to catch scorpions. On weekends, the mountains are even more lively. Even some adults who were idle and didn't find a job joined the team to catch scorpions.

In this way, in the first week after the sting, Wang Zheng received 1,200 female scorpions, which were weighed by a rod and scale, and they were six and a half catties.

At first, when Wang Zheng told his father that he wanted to collect scorpions at home, Wang Xiangzhong was still a little confused, thinking that his son was just talking and playing. However, in this week's time, his son collected six and a half catties of scorpions, which also frightened Wang Xiangzhong.

Wang Zheng collected nearly half of Liu's scorpions, spending a total of more than 600 yuan, and then on Monday, Wang Xiangzhong rode a bicycle to the Nanma Medicinal Materials Trading and Distribution Center to sell these scorpions to the medicinal materials factory, and actually harvested more than 1,800 yuan, making a net profit of 1,020 yuan.
