Chapter Eighty-Five: The Mountains Are Not Poor, and the Whole Mountain is a Treasure

Mrs. Xu sent Yu Qinniang to hurry home and get some tools that would be used when going up the mountain.

Mrs. Xu slapped her granddaughter in front of her eyes again, and read the live broadcast password: "The God of Wealth lives in my house, and it will be sent this year, click!" Turn on the live broadcast first.

She greeted her family in a very small voice and full of vitality: "Babies, family, good morning, wow, let's go up the mountain with my son today." ”

After saying hello, I asked my granddaughter to go home to get rations and bring some more.

The rations made by Mrs. Xu are the fried noodles eaten by modern volunteers.

Flour of various coarse grains and fine grains is fried in a hot pan and lard and salted are added. When you are too late to cook or too tired, you can take a bite of it and wash it with water.

She wants to make oil tea noodles, but the current situation at home is not allowed.

Mrs. Xu was uneasy and told her granddaughter to "lock the door thousands of times".

There is a lot of money, food, and fish at home, so it's not okay not to lock the door.

Then he turned around and appeared, scolded his three sons and said, "Stop." ”

Liu Laozhu was startled and hurriedly stopped.

Mrs. Xu waved her hand, "...... It's not to call you, brother, let's come into the house and eat. Our family doesn't go fishing today, there is something going on at home, like everyone else in the village, we don't work and don't divide the fish. By the way, I want to buy fish from the village committee when I go back, and you arrange it? ”

"Understood, understood, then I'll go in first? How many of you are talking. ”

Mrs. Xu nodded "En", and Liu Laozhu entered the hospital.

The three brothers of the Xu family looked at this scene: "......"

It's one thing to hear about it, it's another thing to see it with your own eyes. Uncle Li Zheng really listens to his mother's words.

The boy asked, "Mother, why did you get up so early?" ”

"Hmph, I can't compare to you, if I didn't get up early, I didn't know that your brother was going up the mountain hungry, let's go." Just go along.

Brother Xu hesitated: "Mother." ”

"Mother, don't you have to work? If you don't rest, if you don't work, you'll feel uncomfortable, then I'll just be watching you. "By the way, let's see if you can pick up any mushrooms.

……

The fact that the whole family went up the mountain together made Xu Tianxin very excited.

After the second uncle went up the mountain, he looked for fir trees everywhere, and she didn't know all kinds of plants and trees, so she followed the second uncle to learn to identify them.

The second uncle said that he had to use the half-dried old branches of the cedar tree to make a bucket of water basins, and it happened to stop raining after the rain, isn't this a semi-dry state?

Find more, exchange a bucket for two fish, and make more buckets of water, which is equivalent to making money.

The second uncle also asked the grandmother: "Mother, this time Uncle Lizheng doesn't care if we go out, can I go into the city to sell pots, barrels, cigarette bags and pots?" ”

was counted down by my grandmother and said: "Sensei is greedy, don't think about doing any business, how can there be that idle squatting in the town and waiting for a fool." Our biggest task at the moment is to get the goods ready before the caravan comes. ”

Mrs. Xu took the opportunity to teach her three sons to understand the cost of time, and to have the concept of grasping the big and letting go of the small to settle accounts.

The three brothers of the Xu family were a little confused when they heard it: "What do you mean?" ”

"It means that from today onwards, our family will no longer participate in fishing in the village to earn work."

As for the reason, pork sells for 20 wen a catty, and chicken sells for less than 4 catties for 90 wen.

And here next to the river, the current high water period of the fish is more, fish only three pennies a catty.

For example, the three women of the three women will go from stealing net fish until yesterday, and the family can get an average of six fish every day by working on the work, and they can only get more than 70 fish after so many days.

This is still the case when she is full of work and has enough time to keep their mothers busy.

And more than 70 fish, even if an average of five or six catties of a fish, how many catties are they all added up, and how many catties can be sold for a catty?

It took so many people to earn more than one or two silvers, which made them tired.

Selling fish is never as good as processing the fish and then selling it, for example, making fish floss is a quick way to make money.

Mrs. Xu plans to pass on the unique craft of fish floss to her three sons.

She had to control the salt, do the salting work and make fish noodles, pure fish noodles, and let her daughter-in-law and granddaughter help her.

As for the elm bark noodles she bought to make baked noodles, she would also mix the noodles every day and let the table be sold with Qin Niang.

The two sons of the table had already sent thousands of pounds of elm bark noodles in two trips, and had brought two baskets of wild fruits to her granddaughter, and she suspected that she was about to strip the elm trees in the surrounding villages. And the table didn't come recently because he was kicked in the waist by a relative of a beautiful man, and he was injured when he went home to the cellar and didn't step on the ladder and flashed back to his waist, I heard that he was recuperating recently.

So there is a lot of work to be processed at home:

"After going down the mountain today, from tomorrow onwards, I will quickly collect the fish caught by others and make some more ingredients for preparation, so that I can hope to make more money in the future.

Otherwise, the opportunity will be given to you, the order is placed, but the goods cannot be delivered, and the caravan is passing by, can we wait for us to do it?

We must learn to grasp the big and let go of the small, and understand that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. In addition, your brothers have to bring people to build houses. ”

Hearing about building a house, Xu Laosan threw off his arms even more on the mountain and shoveled loess into the soil basket. They couldn't afford to spend money on adobe.

It's too subversive of their view of consumption.

Now that they're back, they can save some money to build a house.

Some family members in the live broadcast room asked Xu Tianxin: "What is adobe?" ”

Xu Tianxin hid aside and replied in a low voice: "It is to use the clay dug by my third uncle, and then mix some miscellaneous soil and chopped straw straw, or wood fiber and dogtail grass into a square mold made of wood, and finally make it look like an adobe brick." In the countryside, they can't afford to buy bricks, so they use this kind of adobe bricks to build houses, such as building large walls, kangs and stoves, and they will use adobe, which is a lot of money. ”

Xu Tianxin also knew that this work was very tiring, because when her uncles had no road guide and could not go to work abroad, they would make adobe at home and sell it to people who built houses in nearby villages, and the sale was extremely cheap, pure hard work. Her milk was also exchanged for a lot of adobe with only ten fish.

She remembers that the clay is smooth and firm only if it is hammered with a stone pestle, and as the old saying goes, it is necessary to beat the adobe three times, and then stack the adobe bricks that have been beaten and formed to dry.

Through Xu Tianxin's explanation, the family in the live broadcast room saw the whole process within two days, how Uncle Xu put the mold, sprinkled dry soil, shoveled soil, smashed soil, removed the mold, moved the blank, and stacked the blank until it dried. And others have a maximum of more than 300 yuan a day, and Uncle Xu doesn't need to rush to beat the blank, 500 billets a day, it's really energetic, that muscle ......

At this time, while Xu Laosan was digging the soil, he found a big stone suitable for smashing the stone pot and called the second and fourth brothers to come and move.

Although the family has bought six stone pots, it is still not enough to listen to the mother's meaning, and they should be able to slowly smash out one or two stone pots in one or two months of free time.

Because my mother wants to open the kind of rice shop with a pot in the middle of each table.

The mother also said that when a group of people sit down to eat around the pot, they do not sit on a chair under their buttocks, but build a chair that looks like a hot kang.

And the arrangement of the other room is even more unheard of, and the mother said that she wants to build the kind of house where the ground is a hot kang.

They don't understand, doesn't that mean stepping on the hot kang when they enter the house? Why don't you take off your shoes then? Of course, take it off. Doesn't it stink when the caravan comes and takes off its shoes? My mother said that it was important to make money or it was important to smell bad, we must first consider that the customer is cold, and the frozen feet have been walked all the way.

Xu Youyin suddenly shouted to Xu Tianxin: "Tianxin, are you looking for bamboo?" Look there. ”

"Ahh

I thought that bamboo was too difficult to find, but I didn't expect that there was also a kind of yellow bamboo in the north that was thinner than in the south. It doesn't matter if it's fine, as long as it's hollow and can hold something and roast it in the fire. There is this step in making bamboo salt.

Xu Lao Er also suddenly called Xu Tianxin and said, "Tianxin, come and taste the birch sap to quench your thirst." "This is what the eldest brother told them, saying that they don't need to bring water to the mountain, drink this.

The family members in the live broadcast room have knowledgeable people: "I heard that there are hundreds of bottles of birch sap, which contain fructose, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals, anyway, what do you lack, what does it have, I also want to drink." ”

"Little assistant, what does it smell like?"

Xu Tianxin not only replied to the family, but also looked at the second uncle with a smile and smacked his lips and said, "Well, it's a little sweet." ”

And Mrs. Xu was surprised: "Emma, I dug up the bellflower, this thing is delicious." ”
