Chapter 16: The Journey

After the vegetable shop stabilized, the repair also entered the second floor. Jiang Zhi and I felt that we could start the next step.

We first took the water ticket to the water factory to get the mineral water back, and the workers of the water factory saw that we had come several times a day and knew us. asked Jiang Zhi curiously, "Why are you getting so much water at once?" Jiang Zhi fooled him and said: "Isn't this the welfare that our unit is engaged in, every employee has it." We are the ones who were sent by the majority of workers to fetch water. We all pulled it back, and then divided it into units, and the workers of our factory in the province had to come to the water plant one by one to receive it, which was troublesome. "I don't know if the workers of the water plant believe Jiang Zhi's words or not, we retreated quickly after receiving all the water.

We then bought 200 50-litre plastic drums to put in the rings for later use. Eventually, I started planning a long trip.

We want to go to Y City on May Day.

Jiang Zhi's aunt's name is Li Shuju, and after marrying her sister-in-law Lu Qing, she went to her sister-in-law's hometown Y City. They belong to the mountains, and his house is at the bottom of the mountain, and there is a forest farm nearby. It is said that relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the aunt's family also makes money by selling some mountain goods. Every year, my aunt will send some mountain goods such as fungus and pine nuts to Jiang's mother, and she will come to D city to see Jiang's mother when she has time.

I heard Jiang's mother say that my aunt's family used to be very hard, and if you want to make money, you have to work in the mountains. The mountain goods picked up are not sold at a high price at the second dealer, so the conditions at home have always been very ordinary. But in the past few years, the policy has been good, and people have also realized the good of mountain goods, and my aunt has also supported them to learn to plant fungus and pack pine forests, so now life is getting better day by day.

We wanted to go to the mountains to see if we could buy cheap and large mountain goods.

But the availability of vegetable stores is a problem. In the end, we rented a cold storage and put all the vegetables in it, which was enough to sell for a month. He hired a small truck and asked Jiang's father to follow him to pull the goods every morning, and the truck driver doubled as a porter. The child was entrusted to Qu's father and Qu's mother.

After arranging everything, we took all the savings of the family plus the money earned by the vegetable store this month, a total of 1.2 million cash, and drove off.

Along the way, because it is a statutory holiday, there is no toll on the highway, so as long as we see a gas station, we turn in and add two barrels of gasoline and diesel, which cannot be bought in large quantities at one time, but can only be collected in pieces. Where you see a village, you also drive down. Because we wanted to go into the village to buy some poultry, the grass in my space has been empty, Jiang Zhi has already installed the fence and chicken coop or something, and is waiting for all kinds of poultry to move in.

We bought more than 30 chicks, 4 hens that lay eggs in their prime, and a big rooster with his head held high. More than 10 ducks and more than 10 geese. Piglet bought 4, two males and two females. 10 goats were bought, half male and half female. The calf bought 4 heads, one male and three females. At my strong request, I bought 4 more donkeys, didn't I say dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the ground, we have to buy a few for the quality of life in the future. It's really hard to buy, now there are few donkey people, there are few donkeys, and the big donkeys are not willing to sell, we ran several villages, wear out the skin, only to buy a few donkeys, it's not easy.

Originally, there were people in the countryside who raised rabbits, but I was afraid that it would make holes in my space, so I didn't dare to buy them. I turned my head and bought two little stupid dogs, and I will look good at home and nursing home in the future. I kept them in a farmhouse.

In the countryside, I also saw that some people raised fish, so I bought a few of them, the puddle in my space is too small, and I can't raise too many fish, before the crucian carp after they spawned, I fished them up and put them in the ring, and now the crucian carp in the puddle don't know how many generations it is.

This way stops and stops, although it is a little slower, but the harvest is great. The two of us also switched into the space, cultivating (double cultivation during the evening break), picking up eggs, duck eggs, goose eggs, feeding the puppies (feeding them with fish), and harvesting vegetables.

After 6 days on the road, we drove to Y City.

My aunt was waiting for us at home and was very anxious, thinking that something had happened to us on the way, but then I was relieved when I got on the phone and knew that we were playing while walking.

She prepared a lot of delicious food for us, including toon omelette, stir-fried wild vegetables, stir-fried bacon with pickled bamboo shoots, chicken stewed mushrooms, fried fungus with stupid eggs, spicy fried rabbit meat, etc.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, the little brother-in-law completely let go, and told us a lot about the mountains, and how he escaped under the claws of the bear with his wit and courage when he went into the mountains (in fact, he climbed onto the big tree and leaned the bear away. He said how many pine nuts were produced in the pine forest of their bag, and how much their fungus was sold last year. It wasn't until it got dark that he stopped chattering, and my aunt hated him for ink, but we loved to listen to it, because the purpose of our visit was to spy on the military. Listen and know more so that we know where to go and collect what we need.

The next morning, my aunt was cooking, so we got up and helped her, and by the way, we learned how to use the stove and how to burn firewood.

I saw that my aunt's house was burning some wooden blocks, so I asked my aunt: "Auntie, are all your firewood here all wooden blocks?" What a waste, isn't there a branch on the mountain? ”

"How can I have that time to pick up branches, we have a lot of trees, and we are still next to the forest farm, and there is still a shortage of wooden blocks, and this is easier to burn than branches." Auntie said inappropriately.

It's really extravagant, Jiang Zhi bought some wood for shelves and chicken coops when we were going to open a vegetable shop, that is expensive, I knew that this side is so easy to make wood, so we will come in advance, can we save some money. I see that the wooden blocks burned by my aunt are of better quality than the wood bought by Jiang Zhi, and we can still afford not to spend freight. It's really distressing to think about the extra money spent.

Jiang Zhi looked at my tangled look, and knew what I was thinking, so he said, "Auntie, it's good to buy wood at the forest farm." ”

"What are you buying lumber for?" The aunt looked at Jiang Zhi questioningly.

"No, I don't buy it, I just ask." Jiang Zhi thought, I just want to calm my daughter-in-law's heart.

"If it's small, it's okay to ask your brother-in-law to find someone, but if you want to buy a large amount, it's not okay." The aunt saw that Jiang Zhi didn't want to buy wood, so she was relieved.

Jiang Zhi looked at me with a look in his eyes as if to say, "Look at it, you can't buy land if you want to buy wood." ”

After breakfast, we didn't let my aunt accompany us, saying that we were going to go shopping around the neighborhood by ourselves. My aunt was also very busy, and the cultivation of fungus was about to start, and she had to prepare a lot of things, so she agreed.

We walked out hand in hand and drove to the county, and we were not afraid of getting lost, because it was just one road. We mainly heard from my sister-in-law last night that there is an agricultural technology research institute in the county that sells fungus strains, and he has taken them all for you, so you just need to take them home and plant them on the wood. Of course, if farmers want to have a bumper harvest, they should also pay attention to the temperature, humidity, pests and diseases of the environment when breeding.

We wondered if we could buy some of these treated fungus strains and plant them in the space. So we went to the county's Agricultural Technology Research Institute.

At first, the staff didn't look like farmers and didn't pay much attention to us, we asked him, and his answer was very simple, until we inadvertently showed a dozen dollars in front of him, and told him that we planted 10 acres of black fungus, he became very enthusiastic, and explained to us in detail the types of fungus, planting methods, etc., and also said a variety of mushroom planting techniques, we were very interested.

In the end, we ordered 10 acres of black fungus strains and various mushroom strains, and the staff also promised us a planting CD. We paid the deposit, made an appointment to pick up the goods and left.
