Chapter 3: Gatherings
After discovering the spiritual spring, Zhang Yan has been in the excitement, has been guarding the spiritual spring, and hopes to make a fortune in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
However, he soon realized that something was wrong.
Except for the first time, when he found mushroom bones, which grew quickly, the second time, the first time after he rushed up the mountain in the afternoon, took an hour, and the third time, which he had just picked, took about an hour. The first fast-growing mushroom seems to be the first prize in the lottery ticket, and the next two or three times are the third prize.
Zhang Yan gradually calmed down in his heart. He knew there was a reason for this, even if it was pie in the sky, there was a price to pay. Even if the spiritual spring is a spiritual spring, it can't be too rebellious, right? If he really splashed some water on the ground, a large piece of mushroom bones appeared in front of him a moment later, and he carried baskets of mushroom bones to his home, which would only arouse the suspicion of others. Moreover, he felt that Lingquan's growth cycle every hour seemed to be a warning to him not to think about getting something for nothing. He knew he had to think about it.
Now this Wang Lingquan, it takes an hour for each mushroom bone to grow, which is not much but not a lot, accounting for a quarter of his basket. In other words, if he wants to fill the basket, he has to stay here for four hours. Four hours, in the morning, he just didn't guard this Wang Lingquan, and he could fill the basket to the brim, and it wouldn't even take so much time. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly had an idea in his heart......
Early the next morning, Zhang Yan got up and went straight to the spiritual spring, and after looking for a few mushrooms that grew out of the night under the oak bushes, he poured some water from the spiritual spring under the oak bushes, and then left to look for mushrooms in other places.
An hour later, Zhang Yan returned to the oak bushes, only to find that no mushrooms had grown. This situation made him feel disappointed in his heart, wondering if something was wrong. Undeterred, however, he poured some water on him and left.
At this time, Zhang Yan's mind had already sunk, and it was not like the previous hour when all his thoughts were in the spiritual spring, but he was seriously looking for mushrooms. An hour later, his basket was half full, but he returned to the oak bushes and found nothing. Such a result made him quite discouraged. Could it be that yesterday, I really stepped on the dog. luck?
However, the temporary setback did not discourage Zhang Yan. For the next few days, he went back to Lingquan every day. Gradually, he figured out the laws of this Wang Lingquan: first, this Wang Lingquan is useless before the sun comes out, it seems that the spiritual spring is related to sunlight, just like solar panels, only absorbing the sun's rays can work; Second, there is a limit to how Lingquan can help Zhang Yan, the growth rate of mushrooms is not less than an hour at a time, and the mushrooms that grow each time can only fill a quarter of Zhang Yan's basket.
Zhang Yan's mood has also experienced a process of change in the past few days, first the joy of discovering the spiritual spring, then the disappointment that the spiritual spring cannot always play its role, then the calm of finding out the law, and finally the gratitude after seeing the mushrooms all over the yard and the smile on his mother's face.
Yes, I should be full of gratitude to Lingquan. If this had been placed in previous years, I would have been able to sell more than 2,000 yuan in the end by picking up mushrooms in the mountains in one summer. And now, I should have gained more than 1,000 in the past four days. In this way, I am afraid that I will only be able to earn five or six thousand yuan before the school starts in September. For myself, for my own family, it is a complete surprise.
In the days to come, Zhang Yan has been fighting in the mountains as long as he has nothing to do, and the mushrooms he carries to his home every day are as few as three baskets and as many as five baskets. It wasn't until three days before school started, after the family sat in the house after dinner, that he realized that he, plus his parents and sister, occasionally went up the mountain to pick up mushrooms for a summer, and earned more than 14,000 yuan, and there were still many mushrooms in the yard being dried. In this way, their family can earn more than 15,000 yuan just by picking mushrooms in one summer.
The family was stunned all at once.
I have never heard of a family that can make so much money just by picking mushrooms, and the most they know is that the family earned more than 4,000 yuan the year before last, and it is a myth to think that this year their family will earn 14,500 yuan.
However, when he thought that he had discovered a spiritual spring, and then looked at the mushroom bones that filled the yard with the vast majority, Zhang Yan was relieved. More than 10,000 yuan is really nothing, if it weren't for Qingquan's limit, he was sure that what his family earned in a summer would definitely be one more zero in the back.
"Dad, Mom. Isn't that nice? Our family is the income of our labor, have we robbed or stolen? Our family was already very poor, but now with this money, our family's life can be improved a lot, right? Zhang Yan laughed. Qianqian is growing up now, but she can't be wronged. I thought my sister would become a fairy. With that, he rubbed Zhang Qian's hair.
"I hate it, don't touch my hair......" Zhang Qian knocked off her brother's hand and said angrily.
"He. . . Mom, leave four thousand, and bring the rest to Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan's father, Zhang Zhenchang, thought for a moment and said to Cui Haoying. Seeing that Zhang Yan was about to open his mouth, he continued. "Zhang Yan, I know what you want to say. You heard my father say that in addition to your tuition fees, this 10,000 yuan also has living expenses for this semester. As for the rest, aren't you going to do an internship? When you arrive at your new unit, you should invite your new colleagues to dinner, and don't be afraid to spend money. If you get along well with your colleagues, your work will be easy to carry out, right? Although you say that you are going to school to be a teacher. Although that place is much better than the society, it is not a pure land...... Well, that's it! ”
Zhang Yan was moved in his heart, and he wanted to open his mouth several times and finally swallowed the words, and finally just nodded heavily: "Dad, don't worry, I will." ”
The next day, he took his luggage and some souvenirs and set out on his way to school.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yan arrived at the door of the dormitory.
"Yo, Sixth, you're back. You're just one of them. Hearing the sound of the door opening, a tall and thin man who was fighting in front of the computer turned around and saw that it was Zhang Yan and smiled.
The tall and thin man is his roommate Chen Bin, the fourth oldest in the dormitory in terms of age, and he is a student of the College of Engineering.
Zhang Yan asked strangely: "What's wrong with me?" ”
Chen Bin got up to help him pack his luggage, and smiled at him: "Boss, the seven of us have already discussed, and the big guys will get together tonight, in my restaurant." It's just that you didn't report it, and now that you're here, don't you live together? ”
