Chapter 272: Chinese New Year's Eve

Xiao Hong didn't know that Xiao Fang's perfunctory father was also handy now.

She is also in a little trouble, yesterday the driver said that more than 20 miles, he drove back for more than ten minutes.

But Xiao Hong is not very familiar with this side of the road, and encountered a fork in the road halfway, and only after meeting someone asking for directions did he know that he was driving the wrong car.

It took her half an hour to find a place for this delay.

It may be because this piece of soil is suitable for opening a pottery factory, and the ground is dug lower than the front.

The wooden signs of the state-owned clay pottery factory have been dusted, and the iron gates have been rusted.

Instead of rushing to the state-owned factory, she drove the car and slowly circled the dirt road.

There are several small private factories not far away, which have not been built for a long time, there are enamel factories, printing factories, plastic equipment factories, and on the other side is a small village, and you can see a few children chasing after them.

Behind it is a long river, and on the other side of the river are thin bamboos, and from the bridge, you can see some farmland of various sizes.

Although it is now a cold winter, wheat is planted in the fields, and the wheat seedlings are almost half an inch long at this moment, and the green is particularly gratifying.

Behind it is the rolling mountains and forests, which guard the eastern part of the provincial capital like a curtain.

Xiao Hong is still very satisfied with the state-owned clay pottery factory.

It's a pity that it's too big, at least more than 30 acres of land, and she doesn't have the financial ability now.

Even if the location of this piece looks a little remote from the provincial capital now, Xiao Hong is sure that in a few years, this piece will be prosperous and lively.

It's like a hungry person who sees a tempting cake in a cake shop but has no money to buy it, let alone be miserable.

The current solution is to encourage Liu Haibo to partner with himself.

It just so happened that he also had to build a cold storage, and he also needed a place to divide the chicken.

After Xiao Hong went to the state-owned clay pottery factory, he originally wanted to find someone to inquire, but he saw a middle-aged woman beating wool at the gate, and when he saw a car coming in, he immediately looked over.

Xiao Hong simply drove over slowly and asked, sure enough, it was the wife of the driver's eldest brother, and she was afraid that she would not find a place, so she waited here.

The three big wine tanks are really big, at least one meter and five meters high, Xiao Hong feels that he can stand three of himself when squeezed inside.

The driver's wife was still there and assured her that as long as this vat was not bumped, it would definitely last for twenty or thirty years.

Xiao Hong also really felt that this price was very conscientious.

Anyway, I wanted to ask the tractor to help transport it back, Xiao Hong saw that there were flower pots with flowers and plants, and bought more than ten large and small, and by the way, I asked her about what she was interested in.

Xiao Hong soon learned that after the state-owned clay pottery factory was in deficit, it had been taken over by the government department.

After that, the government will first compensate the workers for their wages, so that the workers can find other jobs and find places to live.

And the government also stipulates that they must leave at the end of the year.

There had been several groups of people urging them to leave.

Now that Xiao Hong has bought all the vats in their house, the driver's wife said that she would move to a new place when her husband came back, so as not to be urged to leave again.

Xiao Hong spent another five yuan, and the driver's wife went to the side village to find the person driving the tractor, as well as his younger brother, to help transport the cylinders back.

Of course, these can only be piled up in the yard of the old house first.

Xiao Hong originally wanted to go to Liu Haibo to talk about buying a house, but when she thought that the government department estimated that it would be the eighth day of the first lunar month, she was not in a hurry and was ready to have a good New Year first.

With Grandpa Zhao in them, Xiao Hong didn't have to bother with anything at home, he cleaned it early in the morning, posted the door link, and hung red lanterns on each floor.

Eating at noon is relatively simple, and in the afternoon I start to prepare a hearty dinner again.

For major traditional festivals, flower planters will prepare pig's heads and whole chickens to sacrifice to thank the gods of heaven and earth and reward the kindness of their ancestors.

And Liu Haibo, on the other hand, has already said that the ones prepared this morning will be on holiday when they are sold out.

Therefore, at one o'clock in the afternoon, the employees also received red envelopes and happily went back for the New Year.

However, Liu Haibo's side is preparing to open for business on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Because the employees are paid double before the eighth day of the new year, everyone is very willing.

Xiao Hong also left the Fan family's mother and daughter to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at this scene.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of firecrackers sounded one after another, and there was also a New Year's atmosphere.

Xiao Hong and the others also began to sacrifice, paying attention to the gods before the ghosts.

First greet the gods, then sacrifice the land, and then worship the ancestors.

Even if Xiao Hong is now following her mother, the Zhao family still asked Xiao Hongxian to worship the ancestors of the Xiao family, and then worship the ancestors of the Zhao family.

After that, it was a sumptuous reunion dinner.

Chickens, ducks and fish are complete, Xiao Hong also deliberately bought out-of-season greenhouse vegetables before, including red and bright tomatoes, tender beans, and purple eggplants.

Wu Julan first beckoned her daughters to eat glutinous rice sausages: "If you eat glutinous rice sausages, you can grow taller, and you will all be tall in the future." ”

Grandma Zhao sighed when she ate the beans: "In the summer, I was injured when I ate the beans, and I took home to feed the chickens, ducks and pigs, and now I eat the beans, and the taste is quite good." ”

Grandpa Zhao also rarely agreed: "Eggplant with only some garlic is also delicious." ”

Zhao Yanyan did not accept the rebuttal: "Obviously, the fried tomatoes with eggs are more delicious, the tomatoes are sour, and the eggs are particularly fragrant." ”

Xiao Fang smiled: "Can it be delicious, these vegetables have caught up with the price of meat." ”

"What do you say? Now the best pork belly costs two pieces and five pounds. Grandma Zhao's eyes widened in disbelief: "You mean that in the past, it was only five or six cents a pound of beans, but now it costs two yuan and five pounds?" ”

The painful look is really hard to ignore.

Xiao Hong doubted in her heart, if it weren't for her old man's scruple that it was Chinese New Year's Eve, she would not be able to help but scold them as 'losers'.

She could only come up with a white lie: "Grandma, these out-of-season vegetables are all grown in greenhouses, and they are expensive outside, but I went to school in an agricultural college, and the price outside and inside is only eight cents a catty." ”

In fact, the College of Agriculture does have greenhouses for vegetables, but the quantity is not much, and some are provided in the canteen as welfare, and then the teachers share some, and there is nothing left.

Besides, since ancient times, there have been greenhouses, and there is also a saying that winter sunflower and warm leeks, of course, people will not lag behind now, and some people have long been engaged in greenhouse planting.

Their agricultural college was just for experiments, and by the way, they let the students practice their skills before they engaged in greenhouse planting.

However, although the price of off-season dishes on the market is expensive, there are many people who are willing to buy them, some for appetite, and some for face.

Xiao Hong thinks that if her stepfather is still farming at home, she will also suggest that they have some greenhouse vegetables, although they need to invest in the early stage, but the income in the later stage is really good.

However, even if it is a greenhouse, it is afraid of heavy rain and wind, and it is afraid of extreme weather, so it is still necessary to eat according to the weather, otherwise it is afraid that it will lose all its money.
