Chapter 16: The Chicken Thief
With the stock in his belly, Wang Manyin took out a bottle of wine and two wine cups from under the earthen kang. This is also what the predecessor has saved, and it will come in handy tonight.
It's not a good wine, it's loose wine bought from a supply and marketing cooperative.
Six cents a tael, a pound is only six cents, made of dried sweet potatoes. The taste is a bit rushed, and my head hurts after drinking too much. The only good thing is that this loose liquor does not require a ticket.
Pouring full of wine, he touched the glass: "Shao'an, don't be surprised." I didn't take the wine just now, and I mainly hurt my stomach by drinking it on an empty stomach. Let's take our time, don't discourage alcohol, drink as much as we can. ”
From the memories of acceptance, I know that this side of the Loess Plateau is a pre-dinner wine. To put it simply, it is to drink and eat food first, and then eat when you are well.
And it is popular to persuade alcohol, you always have to be drunk to feel interesting, otherwise it is the host's insincerity.
However, Wang Manyin retained the habits of later generations, and felt that his brother-in-law was not an outsider, so he didn't persuade him to drink much, just have fun.
"Yes, yes." Shao'an has the unique boldness of a man in the northwest, and he didn't shirk it, and drank it all with his glass.
After the two touched a few glasses in a row, half a catty of wine fell into their stomachs.
With the strength of the wine, Sun Shaoan spoke again: "Brother Man Yin, you are about to marry my sister, what are your plans?" You can't keep messing around like this, right? ”
Hearing this, Orchid stopped chopsticks. She also wants to know what men think...... Of course, no matter what the man intends to do, he supports it.
But the two little guys don't know how to worry, obviously their stomachs are round, and they still keep chopsticks.
"Shao'an, I've been thinking about it these days. In the past, a person fed enough and the family was not hungry, so the life was lazy, and after marriage, he would definitely not be able to do this again. At present, there is a preliminary plan to let your sister greet the family...... I joined the production team to work. Wang Manyin said solemnly.
It is said that when he was first reborn in this era, he once made up his mind not to farm. Now we have to compromise with reality.
is still the same sentence, in this era, you must have a proper livelihood on your face. Otherwise, if you stay in the village like this all the time, you don't do any work all day, eat and drink, and something big will happen sooner or later.
He didn't want Orchid to suffer in the team, so he could only grind foreign workers by himself. It doesn't matter if the work score is low, and you don't rely on the work to fill your stomach.
"I'm going to work on the team." Orchid repeats what she had said before.
"That's right, Brother Manyin, let my sister go too. You earn enough to eat alone. Sun Shao'an was also a little moved in his heart, knowing that the other party really thought about his sister.
But in these years, if one person earns a share of work, there will definitely be a famine in the family.
"You listen to me," Wang Manyin poured the wine for his brother-in-law again, "It's not a person who earns work, I plan to buy a rack car to pay for work." ”
"Rack car, are you going to buy a rack car?"
The two were stunned for a moment, and then asked a little curiously.
"That's right," Wang Manyin nodded.
Now in the countryside on this side of the Loess Plateau, the frame car is an indispensable tool for the production team. Use it for farm work, saving time, labor and effort.
It is no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of many farmers, the frame car and the car of later generations can be equated. Even more valuable.
However, the rack car is not something that ordinary farmers can own, and the price of one is almost 100 yuan, and almost no villager is willing to buy it.
At present, there are four vehicles in the can village, all of which belong to the production team.
In Wang Manyin's memory, in order to encourage the members to buy frame cars, the production team has a rule: frame cars follow the work, and earn the same amount of work as male laborers - 10 points.
It is important to know that the score of social employees is mainly evaluated according to their working ability, labor skills, and labor attitude, with a maximum of 10 points.
But very few people can achieve it, and it is generally below 9 points.
In other words, as long as you own a rack car, it is equivalent to one more head earning the highest work points.
Over the course of a year, after deducting the wind and rain, you can earn about 3,000 points.
According to the calculation of 5 cents for a worker in Jar Village last year, that is, 150 yuan.
And a frame car is only 100 yuan, and it can be repaid in one year at most, and the second year is pure profit. This rate of return is appropriately high, almost surpassing Buffett.
What made Wang Manyin feel amazing was that many villagers in Jar Village didn't seem to have calculated such an account at all.
Of course, there are other reasons: on the one hand, there is no money, and on the other hand, there is a fear of being cut off.
Wang Manyin is not afraid, mainly according to memory, close to the villages around Yuanxi County, and no one has already bought a frame car.
After listening to the analysis, Sun Shaoan nodded again and again: "Brother Man Yin, with your words, I am relieved." ”
Before, because of his lack of contact, he didn't know much about Wang Manyin, but he just heard outsiders talk about being unreliable and going to ghosts.
After this period of contact, Sun Shaoan found that his brother-in-law was not what everyone said.
Especially tonight's conversation, he was a little impressed.
Knowledgeable, thoughtful, and measured.
My sister followed him, and she shouldn't be suffering.
The meal lasted for almost two hours, and the two chatted while eating, and it was just right to divide a bottle of wine.
Seeing that Shaoping and Lan Xiang were a little sleepy, Sun Shaoan didn't talk anymore and got up to say goodbye.
There were still a lot of vegetables left in the pot, so Wang Manyin shoveled them all into a clean crockpot, sealed the lid, and let all the orchids take back.
Then, he sent the four of them all the way to the back of the village.
When passing by the wheat field, Sun Shaoping came to his senses: "Brother Man Yin, are you the sparrow you caught here, let's go see if there are any more?" ”
"Okay," Wang Manyin nodded.
He also wanted to know if there were any new sparrows to stay here after he caught them once last night.
It's really ...... When a few people got closer, they heard the sound of birds.
But compared to last night, it's a lot less.
The three of them fumbled for a while, but only caught seven.
Even so, the two children were very excited, chattering about getting it back and roasting it.
Not every family is as extravagant as Wang Manyin, and it is a daily practice to be willing to fry and barbecue sparrows.
After sending them to the village, Wang Manyin returned with rhubarb.
With a brother-in-law here, even if you really encounter a wild wolf, you are not afraid.
As a result, as soon as he reached the bottom of the slope in front of the house, he heard the sound of gurgling outside the cave.
Someone stealing chickens?!
Wang Manyin was immediately alarmed: Good thief, he was targeted by someone just half an hour after he left?
He patted Rhubarb on the head, but didn't make the guy scream.
Then, a man and a dog quietly climbed up the high slope.
By the moonlight, Wang Manyin hid in the dark and looked at the empty field in front of the door, but he didn't find anyone walking around.
A few hens in the coop were still chirping.
Before Wang Manyin could see the situation, the rhubarb beside him had already rushed over.
It slipped up to the coop and opened its mouth to bark.
Immediately, Wang Manyin saw a gray-black thing rushing out of the chicken coop, squeaking and fleeing into the distance......
Rhubarb reacted more quickly and immediately pounced to catch up.
In a flash, he pressed the black shadow under his claws, opened his mouth and bit it.
didn't wait for Wang Manyin to applaud, he saw that Rhubarb seemed to be electrocuted, Wang screamed, and his body jumped up on the spot.
Then, his limbs trembled, and his head shook constantly, as if he had suddenly been drunk.
What's going on?
The sudden change made Wang Manyin completely confused.
Before I could figure out what was going on, I felt a strange smell come to my face. Digging deep into his nostrils, he almost threw up his dinner.
I, Nima, stinks!
Wang Manyin hurriedly covered his nose and retreated.
In the bright moonlight, he finally saw what was going on next to the chicken coop...... A fat weasel.
The body is almost forty centimeters long, and the fur after frosting is unusually thick.
The guy didn't seem to have been bitten to death by the rhubarb, and still struggled to crawl into the distance.
Wang Manyin also finally understood what released the biological and chemical weapons just now.
