In those days, the peasants had no way to make money, and catching weasels was a few allowed to make a living.

Unlike the old iron in the northeast, the Loess Plateau does not have so much reverence for weasels.

Now the weasel skin is exported to foreign countries, and the purchase price given by the supply and marketing cooperatives is also high, and one can be sold for three to five yuan after frost. Some of them are in good condition and have large bodies, and they can even be sold for ten yuan.

After Wang Manyin came to this world, he didn't plan to continue to wander around and do small business like his predecessor.

However, in the short term, there is no benefit in the space, and you can't sit on the empty mountain, so it's best to find a way to make money.

Catching weasels is a good livelihood, above board, and no one can sue for this money.

One is five dollars, and ten is fifty.

However, Wang Manyin knew that he took it for granted, this thing was ghostly, and he would not be easily baited. As Wang Manjun said just now, you may not be able to catch one for a few nights.

If it's really so easy to catch, everyone in the village is busy.

In addition, to catch weasels to use the cage, I don't have it at all, so I can only go back and find time to do it.

By the time I got home, it was already dark.

Barking......

In a black clump, the leper dog suddenly sprang out.

This guy ...... Wang Manyin was taken aback.

I didn't see it when I left Sun's house before, and I thought it was lost, but I didn't expect to go home first.

He pulled the key out of his body and opened the door, fumbling for the fuel lamp.

Because of the water mixed with kerosene, the wick crackled and the whole cave became much brighter.

The soft fried garlic sprouts at noon ate well, and Wang Manyin planned to go to the space to pick up a handful.

When he entered it, he found that after a few hours of work, the aquatic plants and reeds he had planted had turned green.

In this regard, Wang Manyin is accustomed to it.

The active substances contained in the space spring water have a very good effect on plants.

After picking up the soft ground, Wang Manyin came to the deep pit where the local chickens were raised.

This is...... Egg?

When he saw three eggs lying at the bottom of the pit, he immediately became excited.

I didn't say it, I spread egg pancakes at night, and I happened to buy white noodles.

Three eggs are much larger than ordinary native eggs, and it is estimated that eight or nine weigh a pound.

Soon, there was a smell of oil coming from the cave......

Although the pancakes were paste, Wang Manyin still ate them and praised them.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten the leper dog outside the cave.

After eating and drinking, Wang Manyin continued to enter the space to dig a canal.

After being busy for a while, he simply washed his body in the space and returned to the earthen kang.

Without sleepiness for the time being, Wang Manyin began to seriously think about how to go in the future.

The experience of the day made his original thoughts change slightly.

Now the fiery age has just begun, and other places are unknown for the time being, but it is obvious that the management of the pigeon city is not strict in the Shibijie commune.

And from memory, I know that the pigeon city in the former West County seems to be bigger.

If you have the chance, you can do it again.

Just getting married and marrying a daughter-in-law can't be done without hundreds of dollars.

I have the impression that when my future uncle Sun Shao'an got married, his father-in-law Sun Yuhou borrowed 200 yuan for a happy event, but this was still the case when the woman did not want a bride price. If you count the bride price, it is at least 1,000 yuan.

This is not Wang Manyin's cranky thinking, whether it is in this era or in later generations, the poorer the place, the higher the bride price.

Of course, that was more than seven years old.

Now the market is not so high, but the whole wedding, including the banquet and wedding supplies, is estimated to cost 200 yuan.

I definitely can't be like the original body, and even let my father-in-law help manage it when I get married. In this way, not only will he not be able to hold his head up in front of the Sun family for the rest of his life, but it will not be easy for Orchid to return to his parents' house in the future.

In addition, the family also needs daily expenses.

Wang Manyin currently only has more than 100 yuan on hand, and there are still more than 20 catties of food stamps left. According to his way of eating, let alone marrying a daughter-in-law, he will not be able to last for the New Year.

And after eating a big meat bun, I feel that the corn nest is really difficult to swallow.

I have space for myself, and it's a shame not to use it. As long as you don't catch it while trading, there should be no problem.

remembers that Wang Manyin was arrested in the novel, which seems to be a matter of more than seven years...... There should be a short gap for now.

Wang Manyin's guess was correct.

In fact, starting next year, the policy will begin to be really strict, stipulating that "no one is allowed to go to the market and rural community to purchase goods on their own......

What Wang Manyin can think of at present is to raise local chickens and sell eggs in the space.

I still have 100 yuan on hand, and I can buy almost 30 local chickens. In the pigeon market, eggs cost 4 to 8 cents each, depending on the size.

If you lay 30 eggs a day, you can earn more than two yuan. It's equivalent to earning a local chicken.

All that's invested is the grass in the space.

The more Wang Manyin thought about it, the more he felt that this method was reliable...... But the premise is that you can buy dozens of local chickens.

Now farmers have almost no way to get money, and the family's daily needs of firewood, rice, oil, salt, needles, threads, etc., are all counting on the hens to lay eggs and sell them for money. It is also known as the "chicken ass bank".

Many families in the village have to grab and touch the chickens one by one before feeding them in the morning to see if there are eggs in their stomachs.

If you have one, keep it in a cage all the time.

Let the children in the family keep an eye on it, and release it when the eggs are finished.

If one day the hen accidentally lays an egg outside, the family can look for it along the cliff for half a day. There are even many people who quarrel over the issue of whose chicken lays eggs, and the quarrel is so red and thick in the neck.

So as a last resort, few people will sell the hens that lay eggs.

Wang Manyin was lucky to be able to buy two local chickens in the pigeon market last time.

If you want to get it together as soon as possible, in addition to going to the Shibi Festival Commune a few more times, you also have to go to a larger pigeon market, such as Mijia Town.

Mijia Town is not under the jurisdiction of the original West County, and it is about 30 miles away from Jarzi Village. It is strategically located right on the main road to the grassland.

Usually, if the peasants in the ten miles and eight villages around the village want to buy something important, if they can't buy it in the Shibijie Commune, they will not go to the original west county town, but go to the closer Mijia Town to buy it.

As early as the old society, Mijia Town was a relatively large commodity distribution center. Furs from the north, tea and silk porcelain from the south are traded here.

Even now, Mijia Town is far more prosperous than the Shibijie Commune, and even the market sells goods from the Beijing and Tianjin areas, which is not even comparable to the original western county town.

After making up his mind, Wang Manyin fell asleep.

By the time he was awakened again by the sound of magpies on the cliffside, it was already dark.

There were many pancakes at the last stall, and there were still five or six left. Wang Manyin didn't plan to cook in the morning, so he just soaked the pancakes in boiling water to fill his stomach.

As for the leper dog Rhubarb, just pour some cornmeal into the bowl and throw half a pancake.

Rhubarb is Wang Manyin's new name for the leper dog, as a member of the family, there is no name that is not easy to call.

Filling his stomach, Wang Manyin entered the space to check as usual.

When his gaze swept over the pond, he always felt that something was wrong.

Wait a minute...... Fish!

After staring at the water for a moment, Wang Manyin finally noticed the abnormality.

Yesterday he caught a dozen small fish from the Dongla River, and the largest crucian carp was no more than four fingers long.

In just one day, he almost doubled in size.

Now it's almost the size of a palm, and I can already stew crucian carp soup.

As for the remaining small fish, there has also been a noticeable increase in size.

Looking at the three local chickens in the soil pit, the spirit is very good, and the coat color is brighter than yesterday.

After carefully checking the state of the chicken fish, Wang Manyin determined that his previous cognition was biased. This mysterious space is still useful for animals.

As for why Wang Manyin has drunk space water and there is no change, it may not have any effect on humans, it may be that the time is too short, or it may be that the water has lost its active substance after boiling.

Originally, Wang Manyin only wanted to raise some fish to eat, but now there is another way to make money, that is, to sell fish.

About bride price money.

The original text "What makes him suffer the most is that he can't afford to make a fuss with thousands of yuan in gifts. In the past two years, some people have also told him that they are daughters-in-law, but no one has told him that they don't want money. ”

This point in time is 1975.

In addition, I checked the information on the Internet:

60s

36 legs

A wardrobe + a cupboard + a table +

4 chairs + 1 bed = 177RMB

In the 60s, the salary was about 30-40 yuan

It is basically the same as the wage level in the 50s

"In the sixties and seventies, there was no asking for money. In the sixties, I made six or seven sets of clothes for the woman, two sets of luggage, and no furniture, so I usually bought two wooden boxes and made a dozen pairs of shoes. Then there are the toiletries, and the waist money for the woman before marriage can be as little as a few dozen or as much as one hundred and two hundred. ”

"In the sixties of the last century, my grandfather and my grandmother started a family, and my grandfather took a bride price of 240 yuan at that time, and under the rural customs at that time, 240 yuan was a gift, and the rich family might give a half gift."
