Chapter 8 Steadiness is king
"Suffered!"
Wanjun remembered something, hurriedly entered the kitchen, and brought the big pot from the burning stove to the cold stove next to it.
It turned out that she forgot Wang Qiang's explanation and boiled the bamboo rat meat for only half an hour.
This is the first time she has made a mistake in the past three years, and of course she regrets it.
From boiling bamboo rat meat to now, how long has it been half an hour?
It's almost an hour.
She hurriedly opened the lid of the pot, brought a pair of bamboo chopsticks, and picked up a piece of bamboo rat meat, but found that it was not rotten, the softness and hardness were moderate, just right.
Just as he was wondering, Wang Qiang walked in, saw this, and said, "It's my estimation that made a mistake, and the bamboo rat meat is estimated to be boiled for a long time." ”
It turned out that he explained that he boiled for half an hour, and he didn't think that the bamboo rats in later generations were all farmed bamboo rats, and the meat quality was not much different from the current original wild bamboo rats.
In the past three years, he and Wanjun have boiled wild bamboo rat meat many times, but like fish soup, they have been boiled for about two hours, and the bamboo rat meat has become thin before eating.
So, without experience, it caused the current situation.
This can be regarded as a crooked hit.
Seeing that she had made a mistake, although it did not cause any bad consequences, Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief and learned a lesson.
She brought another large pot filled with cold water to the burning stove, "I'll boil water for Xiaoyu and Xiaoling to bathe first, so as not to waste firewood." ”
The time for dinner is far from coming, and she is good at running the house, of course, she has to be careful with her budget.
"Brother, there is not much dry firewood and hay at home, and our family has to go to the mountains to get more back these days, so as not to encounter the rainy season, which will be difficult."
Wanjun said to Wang Qiang again.
"Don't have enough firewood?"
Wang Qiang nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "There's no need to worry about this. ”
"Tomorrow morning, I'm going to go into the city and sell the seven remaining bamboo rats and buy some new farming tools and necessities."
He said about his arrangement, "Starting tomorrow afternoon, our family will plan and open up the wasteland that has been allocated, and when the time comes, we will get a lot of firewood." ”
"So, this year, we don't have to go to the mountains to chop firewood at all, and we can collect firewood by the way, killing two birds with one stone."
"That's good."
Wanjun was relieved, and then thought of something, "Brother, are you going to enter the city tomorrow?" ”
"Yes! What's wrong? ”
Wang Qiang was a little strange.
In the past, this sensible sister would not have asked such a question.
"That'...... Then go into the city this time and take me with you, okay? ”
Her pretty face was slightly red, and she was puzzled when she saw Wang Qiang, so she said a little shyly, "I'...... I have been feeling a little unwell for the past two days, and I have to go into the city to buy some personal items for my daughter's family. ”
"Ahh
Wang Qiang snorted a little embarrassed.
It turns out that this cheap sister of mine has grown up!
He has rich experience in later generations, and he doesn't know where he is, Wanjun, who is about to be thirteen years old, is the first time to menstruate.
"Okay! Absolutely! ”
In order to hide the embarrassment of both parties, Wang Qiang was serious and said to Wanjun, the younger sister adopted by his parents, "I was about to say to the three of you girls, let's go into the city together tomorrow." ”
"What's more, it is estimated that there will still be snow this winter."
He hurriedly changed the topic, "This time I went to the city, I want to add a set of winter clothes for each of our family of four, otherwise, it will be difficult to survive this winter." ”
Seeing Wanjun's face happy, and then a little worried, he immediately said, "I'm afraid you don't know yet, the big bamboo rat is in the city, at least it can be sold for a pound!" ”
"The seven big bamboo rats left in the family are sold for sixty or seventy yuan, and there is no problem at all!"
"The big bamboo rat that was only hunted this afternoon, the weather is already quite cold in late autumn this year, and it will be sold at the farmers' market tomorrow morning, and it will not stink and deteriorate, and it will not affect the sale."
"Later, when I went to catch the big bamboo rats, I knocked them out and tied their legs with a string and took them home, so that it would be easier to sell."
He waved his hand and said to Wanjun's girl arrogantly, "When we sell the big bamboo rat tomorrow, we will have money!" ”
"Big girl, you can buy whatever you want tomorrow."
Wang Qiang must relieve her worries, lest she become thrifty and unwilling to spend money.
"The big bamboo rat is so valuable?"
"Sixty or seventy dollars? That's too much, right? ”
"Oh my God! With so much money, how much will we be able to buy back tomorrow? ”
Not only Wanjun, but the twin girls on the side were also shocked.
The three of them never imagined that the freshly boiled big bamboo rat in the pot in front of them would be so valuable in the city!
They haven't been in the city for a long time, and if Wang Qiang doesn't say anything today, they will still be kept in the dark.
In the past three years, for the sake of safety, the three girls have never been to the county seat, nor have they gone to the village to find someone to play, they have not had much contact with the outside world, and they have no concept of prices.
But they all know that now the bargaining price of rice is less than three cents a catty, and selling two or three big bamboo rats can make their families eat dry rice for a month.
"Well, that's what it's worth."
Wang Qiang nodded and said, "I didn't dare to tell you before, because I was afraid that the three of you girls would not know the importance and be greedy and do wrong things." ”
"Before today, we in Chacheng County could not sound the bell and drum and make a lot of money, and nine times out of ten we would be reported."
"From now on, it's very different, everyone making money is the right way, the trend is like this, as long as you don't break the law, do business, hunt, farm and sell grain, etc., you can make money how."
It can be said that Wang Qiang's understanding of the general trend of the future is definitely second to none now, to tell the truth.
"That's great!"
"Brother, in the future, you don't have to sneak into the city to sell fish and exchange money to buy rice!"
"Uh-huh, what my brother said, must be right!"
"As long as you don't get bullied in the future!" ……
The three little girls listened to it with joy and joy.
"Okay, I'll go out and look at the land I have just been allocated to me, so that I can make a preliminary plan."
Wang Qiang was ready to do business, and explained to his three younger sisters, "You guys are good at home, and when we come back from the city tomorrow, we can go out together to open up wasteland and do things in the future." ”
With that, he walked out of the kitchen, walked straight out of the small courtyard, and began to walk around on the eighty acres of wasteland that belonged to his family.
Why would the village give such a large amount of land to their families?
Wang Qiang knows it.
It's not just because the old village chief and the village committee, in order to show fairness, will be so generous.
The main reason is that this wasteland next to Dazhu Mountain is relatively high, and it is extremely difficult to divert water for irrigation, and there are many scattered large and small stones in the field, so it is difficult to cultivate into good fields.
There are many fields and wasteland in Jiangbei Village, so the old village chief and the village committee, who want to save face, divided this wasteland to Wang Qiang's family.
Dazhushan, on the other hand, has not attracted everyone's attention at all, and has not seen any benefits, so in order to compensate Wang Qiang's family, he simply distributed it to their family to show fairness.
In fact, if Wang Qiang hadn't gotten the adventure and went on step by step, there was no doubt that he would have lived his life like a passer-by like in the memory of the next forty years.
But now that he has got the golden finger and has the memory of the future, Wang Qiang knows that he has embarked on a broad road that is completely different from what he remembers.
For his future life, he is full of confidence, and the days of happiness and abundance are already within reach.
As long as you don't get carried away in the future and maintain a good attitude, then from tomorrow, there will be no difficulty to stop yourself!
