Chapter Forty-Eight: Leisure
At eight o'clock the next morning, Wang Qiang knocked out four half-sized wild boars weighing more than 100 catties, bundled them on the carriage of the tricycle, covered them with a tarpaulin, and rode out of the house on the tricycle.
In order to ease the burden on his three younger sisters, he had to sell the half-grown wild boars raised in the pig farm as soon as possible.
After crossing the stone arch bridge, I saw that there were already a large number of villagers on the road, building the central road of Jiangbei Village.
Nearly 20,000 people went into battle together, sparing no physical labor, which was really shocking.
Construction started yesterday morning, but after a day's work, the bluestone roadbed on both sides of the road has been built, and now the villagers are digging the drainage ditches on both sides of the road.
They shoveled the excavated soil onto the middle road, which not only increased the height of the road, but also saved the process of transporting the soil, killing two birds with one stone.
Some villagers, driving ox carts, pulling more than a dozen large rocks, back and forth on the road to roll, from time to time also fill in some river sand, gravel, to increase the strength of the road.
Everything is carried out in an orderly manner, which is enough to prove the excellence of some of the people in charge of the village.
In a super large village like Jiangbei Village, the efficiency of collective labor of the whole people is very amazing.
A thoroughfare, which is about ten miles long and twelve meters wide, was built to this extent in just one day, which is shocking to think about.
"Ah Qiang, you're in the city again!"
"Ah Qiang, in ten days, the concrete road leading to the head of the Chajiang Bridge will be built!"
"Ah Qiang, after the roads in the village are repaired, everyone's new house is built, you can worry more about snacks and design a few beautiful and practical drawings for us!" ……
Where Wang Qiang passed, the villagers greeted him warmly, as if the estrangement between him and him did not exist at all.
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling people, although Wang Qiang didn't talk to them, he nodded and smiled all the way, which was inevitable.
He rode this reinforced tricycle very well, and even on the road that has become extremely poor due to road construction, he does not find it very difficult.
It's just that the time it takes to get out of the village is about ten minutes longer than before.
He went to the city this time, mainly to reach a supply agreement with several big restaurants in the county to promote his family's wild boars.
For some time to come, he would go into the city several times a day to speed up the sale of wild boars.
Relying on Mazai Restaurant alone, there is simply no way to eat so many wild boars, so it is necessary to expand the scope of sales.
After entering the city, Wang Qiang first went to Mazai Restaurant to deliver goods.
The four and a half large wild boars loaded in the car today weigh more than 500 catties, which is exactly within the daily quota of the Mazi Restaurant.
After selling the wild boar, the money and goods were cleared, Wang Qiang rode a tricycle, ran around, and spent more than an hour running all the medium-sized and large hotels in the county.
In the end, five companies reached a purchase agreement, and the daily demand for wild boar meat ranged from 100 catties to 5 or 600 catties.
In this way, he can sell more than ten and a half large wild boars a day, earning more than 2,000 yuan, barely meeting Wang Qiang's requirements.
"Hey! Now the hotel business in the tea city has not developed at all. ”
Wang Qiang couldn't help but sigh.
In the 21st century, his hundreds of wild boars, large and small, could be sold out in a few days.
If you meet a big boss, you can sell it out in one day.
But that kind of big boss is only available in the city.
Now it is not impossible to pull all the wild boars to sell in nearby cities, but it is very troublesome.
Moreover, the nearest city is more than 100 kilometers away from the tea city, and the road condition is too bad to be able to return to the tea city on the same day.
Far away from home, in case of some black-hearted merchants making things difficult, the trouble will be even greater.
Therefore, the wild boars in the family can only be sold in the county now.
Now that the purchase and sale agreement has been reached, Wang Qiang rode a tricycle back and forth between the village and the county seat several times, and it was not until half past eleven in the morning that he finished his work and returned home.
Give the money to Wanjun and put it away, and it's time for lunch.
Wanjun, this girl, is a little numb to the rapidly increasing savings at home, and she is no longer like a few months ago, when she was nervous after getting the money.
After lunch, Wang Qiang and his three younger sisters walked out of the house and walked to the edge of the artificial lake.
Now that life is better, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and the quality of life of the four siblings has also improved.
"Brother, in this artificial lake, if you put big and small fish in it today, it won't be long before you don't have to go to the river to fish."
Wanling looked at the large and small fish that were faintly visible in the lake from time to time, and said with joy.
"I think it's the same, after a maximum of ten days and a half months, my brother won't have to go to the river every day to fish and come back and release the animals."
Wanyu interjected and said, "Brother, let's take all the loaches, yellow eels, and Wang Ba in the small pond on the edge of the big villa and raise them in this artificial lake." ”
What this girl said also made sense, Wang Qiang nodded when he heard it, "The fish in that small pond, when my brother doesn't go to the river to fish, it's not too late to bring them to the lake and release them." ”
He didn't agree right away, because he wanted to catch more fish species while the Chajiang River was not polluted by a large number of industries.
In this way, in the future, we will continue to have a variety of naturally farmed fish to eat, or pull them to sell.
With the distribution of fields to households, the government has completely relaxed some controls, and all kinds of new factories in the tea city will soon bloom everywhere.
In addition, the rural areas have begun to use a large number of pesticides and hormones for planting and breeding at a continuous rate every year, and the speed of pollution of the tea rivers is unimaginably fast.
At that time, many kinds of fish will become extinct, and they will not be able to eat them if they want to.
Of course, Wang Qiang will not let go of the golden period when he can easily catch all kinds of fish in the near future, so as not to regret it in the future.
If there is still time after the reclamation is completed, he plans to buy a large net to catch fish, in order to achieve his goal as soon as possible.
"Brother, you said that you want to plant a large number of lotus flowers in the shallow water area on the edge of this artificial lake, when are you going to do it?"
Wanjun is very fond of flowers and plants, especially flowers and trees that can produce delicious fruits, so she mentioned it to her brother so that he would not forget.
"There's no rush to this."
Wang Qiang understood this sister's mind very well, and said with a smile, "The planting of lotus flowers must enter the third month of the solar calendar, and the temperature will rise." ”
"The most suitable season is around the Qingming Festival, when the lotus roots planted at that time grow fast and well."
"There are a few lotus ponds in the village, so when the time comes, I will buy some lotus roots to come back to sprout and raise seedlings, and soon I can plant a large circle of shallow water on the edge of this lake."
"Huh."
He chuckled, "In the autumn of this year, there are a large number of lotus flowers blooming in this lake of ours, and there are also endless lotus seeds. ”
"Really?" Wanjun smiled when she heard this, "That's great!" ”
"Yes, brother."
She thought of something again, "Our family will plant some fruit trees on the mountains and near the big villa this year, so that not only can we enjoy all kinds of flowers, but also eat different fruits, and we don't have to go to the city to buy them." ”
"Okay! This proposal, brother raised his hands in approval! ”
Wang Qiang smiled even more happily and agreed even more happily, "I'm going to do this, Wanjun, you and I want to go together." ”
"After a month or so, when the spring flowers bloom, I will go to the city and the countryside to catch the market and buy all kinds of fruit trees, but all the varieties that can be found, get some back and plant them, anyway, the mountain behind our house is so big."
"That's great!"
"My favorite fruit is my favorite!"
"I also like to eat different fruits!" ……
The three girls listened to it with great joy, chattering non-stop, and the atmosphere of the scene was extremely cheerful and warm.
