Chapter 22: I want to buy a piece of wasteland
As soon as the morning dawned, Soybeans got up and squatted in the yard early. Xiao Hei has grown up a lap, probably his living treatment has improved, he eats oily and slippery, with a round body, and it is easy to overturn when he runs fast and brakes sharply.
Huang Dou took a piece of tile and threw it, Xiao Hei hurriedly shook his head and tail and ran over, smelled it, it was not delicious, and immediately ran back.
threw another tile, Xiao Hei ran over again, threw it again, stopped running, Xiao Hei simply lay down at the feet of the soybean.
Liar, you dare to fool your little black brother if you don't have anything to eat.
It's really heart-stopping, a dog, why are you so smart? Aren't you supposed to be stupid?
Think about what is the way to train a dog, it seems that there is no hey! It's a wolf, and Soybeans also feel that they can raise sheep for it.
Okay, holding a fierce dog in one hand and a leather whip in the other, followed by a group of beautiful maids, going to the street to tease a beautiful man!
Xiao Hei saw that the soybean did not move, and began to gnaw on the toe of her shoes again, as soon as the soybean pumped his foot, he raised his foot to kick, and Xiao Hei rolled on the spot, perfectly avoiding the attack of the soybean.
At this moment, Huang Tao passed by the courtyard and called, "Little Black." Xiao Hei looked up and saw that it was a yellow peach, and immediately got up and ran over.
What about your unwavering loyalty, which has abandoned me? Soybeans really want to scratch Xiao Hei, but think about it, there is no rabies vaccine in this world.
Besides, she runs around outside every day, and the people who basically provide Xiao Hei with delicious food at home are yellow peaches, and it is normal for her to rebel.
Maybe it's too tiring to be this time, and grandpa got up late for the first time. The whole family slowed down in and out, for fear of disturbing the tired old man.
There are also uncles and Huang Deluo who got up late, but it's not too late, it's just that the sun has just risen, and this time is not too early.
When Huang Dou saw his grandfather get up, he hurriedly moved a stool and began to set up dishes and chopsticks, and the little black dog followed Huang Dou's footsteps back and forth.
The family had not yet eaten breakfast, and when they saw that the old man had gotten up, they put down their work and prepared to wash their hands and eat.
Only the four concubines of the Huang family have already eaten early and are busy in the store.
The family's food is cooked by yellow rice and yellow peaches, and soybeans are only responsible for moving their mouths.
The most important thing is that the soybean's hands-on ability is not good, and the ability to move her mouth is very strong, she has a new trick every three days, and the store also has a renovation every once in a while.
But fortunately, thanks to the soybean ghost with many ideas and unbridled imagination, the business in the store is so good.
Because of making money, I am a little busy, but the whole family is happy, and now the income of a family of more than 20 people depends on this store.
So she is also tossed by soybeans, at least her tossing tricks are also popular.
The business in the store is getting better and better day by day, and everyone is already discussing whether to build another open space between the east wing and the front room, and the store can no longer sit customers!
Today's breakfast is a small wonton specially wrapped with yellow peaches and yellow rice, which is also taught by soybeans, and it is a new variety in the store. The seaweed and shrimp soup is a small wonton that is smooth and tender.
One bite at a time, the boys who ate it didn't raise their heads.
It's also so delicious, it's better than dumplings, and the soup is delicious, it's a bone broth made from pork bones and pork skin.
For people who are accustomed to eating coarse grain mixed noodles, such a wonton with white flour and meat stuffed bone broth is no less delicious than the world.
In fact, soybeans want to use old hens, but after the disaster, the price of these poultry is too high, they are all shipped from outside, soybeans are calculated or give up, let's talk about it later, in fact, the soup made from pig bones is also good.
The fourth aunt was afraid that everyone would not be hungry when eating wontons, so she deliberately baked a few pots of scallion oil egg cakes and brought them over.
Even Huang Laohan and his sons were satisfied.
Soybeans ate a bowl of wontons, and secretly hid a small half of the egg cake for Xiao Hei, if he was seen by his grandmother, he would be scolded again, it was really a waste of food.
There are still many people outside who are running around for food, and the Huang family is also busy with food and clothing, just because the foundation is good, so it is not a luxury to have an occasional time.
Everyone is very happy, after all, after working for so long, the whole family eats a good meal or two, and it feels like a loss.
As for Xiao Hei, everyone is extravagant, and of course Xiao Hei has had extravagance. Huang Dou watched Xiao Hei Meizizi eat the small half of the egg cake, and sighed silently: "Xiao Hei, sister is sorry for you, sister must make good money and let you eat and drink spicy food." ”
After eating, Huang Dou and his grandfather went out, Huang Pear didn't follow today, not because she didn't want to, but Huang Dou said that there was something wrong and he couldn't take her.
Huang Li went to find Huang Tao stupidly, and Huang Dou comforted her with a smile: "You are optimistic about Xiao Hei, wait for the third sister to come back and buy you candy, guarantee." As he spoke, Soybean raised his right hand.
Huang Tao hurriedly pushed her: "Let's go, let's go, where are so many things, hurry up, don't really make you cry." ”
Huang Laohan stood in the courtyard and waited with a smile, the family was safe, and he was satisfied with food and clothing. At least now the family is there, much better than those who have been displaced!
Out of the door, I walked all the way east along the town for less than three miles, turned north, and soon a barren sandy and gravel land appeared in front of me.
"Grandpa, here." Soybean pointed to a piece of land in front of him and showed it to his grandfather.
Huang Laohanzai carefully looked back and forth at the land, the land was very wide, and there were many weeds and dwarf trees growing on it.
"Doudou, what can you do if you buy this land?" Huang Laohan asked strangely, such a land, at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, is everywhere, close to the foot of the mountain, basically nothing good can come out.
Even if you open up the land, it takes half the effort to grow it in a normal place, and it's still a thin land where it's hard to grow things.
There is basically no harvest within three or five years, and after three or five years, it is also a thin land, the cost is too great, and the harvest is too little.
"Grandpa, can you build a house?"
"It's no problem to build a house, the key is that this place doesn't rely on the village or the store, and it must be at least four miles away from our family's field, so it makes no sense to build a house here." Huang Laohan felt that soybeans were a bit nonsense, and she might just fancy the open area here.
It's still a kid after all!
If you want to say that if you don't think about anything else, just build a house to live in, you don't have to say it here, to the west is the East Lake, and the back is against the South Mountain.
It's just that it's a barren place, there are no villages, no fertile land, and it's not really suitable to live in.
Huang Dou knew that it was useless to say anything, so he only pulled his grandfather's sleeve: "Grandpa, you come." As he spoke, he walked in the direction of East Lake.
Walking out of more than 100 meters, the East Lake is in front of you, a very wide body of water, sparkling, and white water birds flying on the lake.
"Grandpa, do you think this can be a dock?" Soybean asked.
"Well, the water here is open, there are no shallows on the shore, the boat can go directly to the shore, of course it can be used as a dock." After speaking, Huang Laohan was stunned for a moment and looked at Huang Dou: "You mean...... You mean......"
Huang Dou stammered when he saw his grandfather talking, and hurriedly continued: "I ran to Nanshan Wharf these days, and I need to queue up when there are many boats at the wharf. That day, I heard from a shipwright that there was a wharf called Yifeng in Dongyang County that had been destroyed by floods, and it would be difficult to build it again for more than ten or twenty years, and it was too difficult to dig a mountain and a wall, and the cost was too great. ”
"Yifeng Pier was destroyed, I know, it doesn't matter if it takes 10 or 20 years to build it again, the important thing is that it is more difficult for us to build a pier here than it is on Yifeng's side." Huang Laohan looked at the area in front of him and was a little stunned.
After this flood, it is obvious that the mountain has changed, and it is simply a natural wharf, and there is no need for manpower to excavate.
"Doudou, grandpa doesn't know if it's good or bad that you have such a mind, you're still a child." Speaking of this, Old Man Huang sighed heavily.
"You know, it's easier to build a marina here, even though it's relatively easy in terms of location. But the most difficult thing about it is not to build a wharf, but whether there will be ships coming, and whether there will be people to destroy it. You know, the construction of a dock here is not to the detriment of one or two people! ”
People are as cheap as ants, without a certain status and strength, who dares to build a dock here?
Unless he is not afraid of death.
Huang Dou looked at her grandfather in a daze, she was still too young and thought too simply.
Huang Laohan walked step by step along the river bank, measuring step by step, and calculated quickly in his heart.
He has been to many places with his former owner Huang Dafu and has seen many docks, so it is rare to find a wharf that naturally almost does not need to be dug manually.
The wharf of Nanshan Town can no longer accommodate so many ships, and the diversion here is bound to drive the economy of one party, but it is also deeply involved.
It's not just those people at the wharf in Nanshan Town who can't tolerate it, but there will be people in Xiangyang Mansion and even Dongyang County who can't tolerate it.
But such a place, if you give it up too unwillingly, sooner or later someone will find it and take it for yourself, then when the time comes, let alone want to buy land, even future generations will not be able to settle down here!
"Let's go." Huang Laohan patted the soybean on the head: "We will go and sell the pearls tomorrow, and we will buy this land first." Saying that, Huang Laohan turned around and walked towards the way he came.
"Grandpa, didn't you say that you can't build a wharf, so why do you have to buy land?"
"If we can't build, it doesn't mean that others can't build it, the land is bought, and when the people who can build it come to build, it's always okay to get a piece of the pie." Speaking of this, Huang Laohan laughed.
As long as this land is in my hands, my Huang family can wait, if I don't want to do it for ten years, I will wait for twenty years, and if I can't wait for twenty years, I will wait for thirty years.
I can't wait for a son, a son can't wait for a grandson, there will always be people who can see the difference here, even if the dock doesn't have anything to do with our family, what about the land next to the dock, that's my Huang family.
The more Huang Laohan thought about it, the more he felt hot, he was not a small farmer who was content with one side, he also had great ambitions and longed for a better life.
In any case, the home has been destroyed, and it is necessary to settle down and build a house, and where to build a house is not to build, and this place is no different from other places.
If you want to say different, it is to give future generations a possibility, a possibility to make them rich overnight.
