Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

In the Tuanjie Brick Factory, you can see billowing black smoke coming from the chimney from a distance. It seems that even the fire control is not in place.

Walking to Tuanjie Brick Factory, Lin Heng estimated that it was around seven o'clock, and the workers in the brick factory were already working.

Those who sift soil, mix mud, and press bricks. This is a small brick factory, and the boss is also helping with the work.

Lin Heng's arrival quickly attracted the boss's attention.

"What are you here to buy this time? How did the terracotta tiles from last time go?"

The brick factory owner looked at Lin Heng and asked with a smile.

"Boss Wang, let me discuss some business. Let's go to a place with few people." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay, come with me." Wang Jie nodded and led Lin Heng to the place where he was drinking tea.

After pouring a cup of tea for Lin Heng, he smiled and said, "If you have any business, just talk."

Lin Heng took a sip of water and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, your brick factory has been open for a year or two, and the scale is still so small."

Wang Jie was stunned, not knowing what Lin Heng wanted to talk about. He nodded and smiled bitterly: "It's a small business, there's nothing we can do about it."

Lin Heng smiled: "Now that the country's economy is taking off, especially the construction industry, high-rise buildings are rising from the ground, and red bricks are needed everywhere. If you do this business, you can make more than one million a year in a few years."

I heard that a new town hall building will be built in the town recently, and the school will also be renovated. Many people want to build buildings now that they have money. There are opportunities everywhere. "

"I've heard about it too, but it has nothing to do with me. It's all taken care of by people with connections." Wang Jie shook his head.

"Actually, there is another reason. You should also understand that the bricks you produce are not up to standard. Small workshops can only sell to ordinary people and can't find big partners. I'm right," Lin Heng said again.

"Brother Lin Heng, what are you here for today?" Wang Jie understood. The business Lin Heng was talking about was not buying bricks, but something else.

"I wonder if you admit that technology can be considered wealth?" Lin Heng asked again.

Wang Jie nodded: "Of course, technology must be wealth. If you have anything to say, just say it and don't be secretive."

Wang Jie was a little impatient.

"I have a plan for the management and technical adjustment of the brick factory here. You can take a look at it first. If you find it useful, we can discuss it later." Lin Heng smiled and took out two pages of paper from his pocket and handed it to Wang Jie.

This is what he wrote yesterday afternoon, about how to turn a small workshop into a large brick factory, how to manage talents, which technologies need to be adjusted, how to attract orders, and the improvement of brick and tile technology, etc.

The shortcomings of his brick factory are all detailed, and how to improve these situations. Currently, I only write about the control of brick kiln fires.

Naturally, some other details cannot be written above.

Finally, he drew a picture of how much the brick factory's profits would increase if these transformations were completed, as well as future development and expansion of operations.

Wang Jie didn't care at first, but he became more and more fascinated, as if a huge cake had been placed in front of him, just waiting for him to take it.

Lin Heng was drinking tea, not in a hurry and looking at ease.

Ten minutes later, Wang Jie raised his head, his eyes no longer impatient, and smiled: "Did you really write this?"

He didn't quite believe that a rural youth could write such a plan.

Lin Heng smiled: "You don't care who wrote it. Do you think this plan is useful?"

Wang Jie nodded repeatedly: "It's useful, but it's so useful. It's just that many parts are not completed. I just wrote a rough outline and then it's gone."

"How much do you think it will be worth after it's completed?" Lin Heng asked again with a smile.

Wang Jie thought for a moment, looked at Lin Heng, smiled and gave a number: "Five hundred?"

"Hahahaha, it seems that Boss Wang hasn't understood the future trend yet, but he doesn't know that the opportunity will never come again."

Lin Heng laughed and shook his head: "Just pretend I've never been here. We'll meet again if we are destined."

After saying that, he got up and walked out, not planning to stay any longer.

"Hey, little brother, don't leave. Let's talk slowly. This is all negotiable." Wang Jie quickly pulled Lin Heng back.

"Boss Wang, take it back and take a good look at it. Let's talk about it after you think about it clearly."

Lin Heng shook his head, opened his hand and turned away, not pretending.

"This!" Seeing Lin Heng leave, Wang Jie had no choice but to look at the planning book carefully and fell into deep thought.

…

…

"How much does a bag of white ash cost?" Lin Heng asked when he came to a shop selling building materials.

"This comes in a 20-pound bag. It costs four yuan a bag." The boss looked at him and said.

"Are there thick waterproof films and 30-diameter plastic pipes?" Lin Heng asked again.

"No, if you want it, order it first and pick it up in five days." The boss shook his head.

"Then I'll buy two bags of white ash." Lin Heng said as he took out eight yuan.

After buying Bai Hui, he bought a few White Rabbit toffees for his daughter, and then went home carrying his things.

He probably didn't have any other items for fish ponds in the town, so there was no need to ask. After a few days, just rent a tractor and go to the city to buy everything you need at once.

For the time being, just buying some white ash is enough. He has tools like measuring tapes at home and bought them when he was building a house.

When she got home, the sun had just reached her head. Xiulan was surprised when he came back: "Why did you come back so soon?"

"I miss you." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"You're talkative again." Xiulan glared at him.

"We talked about it for a while, but whether it can happen or not depends on tomorrow."

Lin Heng shook his head and explained.

At first, he wanted to wait until the Tuanjie Brick Factory was about to close down and then take over, but now he has changed his mind.

He plans to use his brick-making technology to invest in the company and get some money.

He will use this money to buy some Coriolus versicolor and store it. When Coriolus versicolor sells well, he will use this money as capital to open a purchasing station, and then use the money earned from the purchasing station to build fish ponds.

Xiulan nodded and said, "It's good to be back. You can take a rest for a while and ask your brother to help you deal with the little wild boar.

Its wound is getting infected and rotten more. If it is not treated, it will be ruined."

"Okay." Lin Heng put down his things, took the water from Xiulan, and rested for a while.

"Is my daughter asleep?" Lin Heng was curious. She didn't see Xiaoxia.

"Yes, she was playing in the water secretly at the river dam this morning and I hit her a few times and she cried. Then she cried even more sadly because she didn't find you to complain. As a result, she cried and fell asleep." Xiulan said with a smile.

"Hahaha." Hearing this, Lin Heng couldn't help but laugh, thinking of his daughter crying and looking for her father everywhere after being beaten.

He got up and went to the house to take a look at his baby daughter. She was sleeping soundly on her little bed, her little hands grabbing the sheets, and there was still a look of grievance on her face.

He didn't disturb her rest, but Lin Heng guessed why she was playing in the water. Probably she wanted to catch fish to feed the little golden cat Jinbao.

Of course, it is not ruled out that she just wanted to play in the water and got her clothes wet.

Turning out, Lin Heng went to the yard to take a look at the wild boar cub. The wound on its neck did start to fester.

The musk deer next to him was in good condition. When he saw him coming, he immediately became alert and vomited the half-eaten grass in his mouth.

"Xiu Lan, boil some water, I'll go call people." Lin Heng said, and went out to call his father and eldest brother.

They all rested at home at noon and didn't go out.

"Is it really hopeless?" Lin's father asked reluctantly.

"I don't know. Instead of waiting for it to die, it's better to kill it now, so that it won't be fresh when it's eaten." Lin Heng shook his head.

"Dad, what Lin Heng said makes sense. It's better to eat it as soon as possible." said the eldest brother Lin Yue.

"Then kill it and eat it." Lin's father nodded.

When he got home, Lin Heng pointed at the wild boar cub and said, "Dad, big brother, help kill it, I'll go get something."

After that, he ran out with a knife. Lin's father and Lin Yue could only take over the job, grab the piglet, press it on the bench and stab it with a knife to bleed it.

"Ahhh!!"

With two screams, the wild boar cub was dead, and the pig blood was collected in a small basin. Xiongba shook his tail and licked the blood left on the stone.

"It was killed so quickly." When Lin Heng came back with the cut bamboo, Lin's father and eldest brother had already started to stew the pig.

"Are you going to make a waterwheel and take it to the river to roast it?" When Lin's father saw Lin Heng holding the bamboo, he knew what he wanted to do.

"Yes, use a waterwheel to roast it, no need to keep turning it. Let you taste the honey crispy roast suckling pig tonight." Lin Heng nodded and said with a smile.

"Then I'll have to try your cooking skills." Lin's father said with a smile.

"I've never eaten roast suckling pig in my life, and I'm going to get it today." Lin Yue also said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Putting down the bamboo, Lin Heng went into the house and took some fennel, chili, Sichuan pepper, pepper, peanuts, and sesame seeds and asked his wife to help fry them crispy and fragrant, and grind them into powder for dipping.

Lin's father and eldest brother made the pig soup, while Lin Heng used bamboo to make a waterwheel. There were many tools at home, and the waterwheel Lin Heng made this time was more exquisite than the one he made in the mountains last time.

When he was done, the pig was also souped, and the internal organs were taken out.

"This pig is not small, there are still 13 pounds after killing it." Lin's father weighed it and said with a smile.

"The pig's internal organs don't weigh much, it's normal." Lin Yue drank a sip of water and looked at Lin Heng: "Brother, the pig has been killed, what are you doing now?"

"Give it to me, I'll pickle it." Lin Heng took the pig and put it in a large basin, first using an iron skewer to poke some holes to facilitate the seasoning.

Then add onion and ginger water, white wine, soy sauce, salt and pepper powder, etc. to start pickling, smearing sauce on every part of the pig, and give it a full body massage.

"Nothing else, I'll go back first." Lin's father said after the work was done.

"Dad, get some charcoal, I'll go over and get it later, we'll have crispy roast suckling pig tonight." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He left his eldest brother behind to help get things later.

After resting for an hour, Lin Heng prepared the oil, honey and white vinegar for barbecue, and then tied the pickled suckling pig to the central axis of the waterwheel with a lift.

"Let's go, brother, let's go." Lin Heng said with a smile while holding things and a small fishing rod.

"Okay." Lin Yue grinned, took the tied pig and walked out with Lin Heng.

When passing by the old house, he took a bag of charcoal. They would chop wood and make charcoal every winter, so every household had no shortage of charcoal.

"Are you killing the wild boar cub and preparing to roast it?"

When passing by Yang's house, Yang Zhaotao and Li Caifeng widened their eyes.

"This one was bitten by a dog and can't survive, so we can only roast it and eat it." Lin Heng explained with a smile and left.

"This food is too good, roast suckling pig." Li Caifeng looked at the backs of the two people walking away and couldn't stop swallowing.

Lin Heng didn't mean to show off, and he and his eldest brother went to the riverside in a low-key manner from the side road, and didn't take the road in the center of the village.

When they came to Shiban River, the two put down the little wild boar, first made a fire by the river to ignite the charcoal.

Then nailed the wooden fork and put the roast suckling pig on it.

"No, we have to stop the water, otherwise the suckling pig will be too heavy and cannot be carried by the gentle water flow." Lin Heng looked at the situation of the waterwheel and shook his head.

Then the two took off their shoes and moved stones to block the river water so that most of it would flow away from the waterwheel.

"Haha, it's better now." Lin Yue laughed.

"Indeed, the water tanker is whirring around now." Lin Heng also nodded. Now the water tanker is making much faster money.

He took the bowl and brushed it with oil and then honey.

The charcoal is also ignited on the other side. Clip it over and place it under the suckling pig to start roasting. Adjust the height and start roasting. Next, you only need to brush oil and honey on it after a while. You don't need to keep an eye on it.

"When it's done, I'll go back first and come over to eat in the evening." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, found an earthworm, picked up a fishing rod and fished for grouper in the pool below.

After throwing it away, the grouper found its way onto a creek. Lin Heng dug a beach to raise it.

If you can't catch big fish, stream grouper is still very simple. Just throw it in and eat it. It's not difficult at all.

If he didn't catch it the first time, it was because his equipment wasn't very good and there was a big water snake. It had nothing to do with his skill.

It was already past three o'clock, and it wasn't very sunny. People were going down to the river to wash clothes one after another. Lin Heng heard voices on the field and didn't care.

Not long after, several women appeared at the pool not far below Lin Heng with clothes in hand.

Lin Heng looked up and saw that they were not very familiar. Oh, one of them seemed to be his aunt Li Ping, but he didn't care and continued fishing.

"Hey, Lin Heng, you got a pig to roast here."

Lin Heng didn't care, but these women couldn't calm down. Forget it if you eat meat, you even roasted a suckling pig by the river. Are you already so rich?

Several people couldn't help but salivate when they smelled the aroma of barbecue.

Li Ping's eyes turned green when she looked at the roasted suckling pig, which had a light yellow skin.

She heard that Lin Heng's family recently shot not only a large wild boar, but also two small wild boars and a forest musk deer. How could they be so lucky?

"The little wild boar was injured when we caught it. We can't keep it in the summer, so we have to roast it and eat it." Lin Heng grinned.

"The smell of your barbecue is making it hard for us to wash our clothes. You might as well let us poor people eat it among us," someone joked.

"You all have a lot of money hidden in your home and are reluctant to use it. How can you be considered poor?" Lin Heng responded with a smile.

After chatting for a while, these people didn't want to talk anymore. They thought to wash their clothes and leave quickly. Who can stand the smell of barbecue here?

Especially since I don’t have any at home, let alone barbecue, I haven’t eaten bacon in half a month.

The one who suffered the most was Lin Heng's aunt Li Ping. If she hadn't had a quarrel with Lin Heng's family, she would have been able to eat two bites.

She heard that every time Lin Heng went hunting, he would give some to his third father, but her family didn't even have any meat stars.

Not to mention eating now, I can't even salivate.

She was both regretful and resentful. She didn't understand how Lin Heng could eat and drink as much as he had just received more than a thousand pieces of mulberry.

Moreover, it has been more than a month and there has been no increase in the price of Phellinus mulberry. Why is Lin Heng not anxious at all?

Lin Heng fished for a while, then went over to look at the roasted pig and brushed it with some oil, then came back to fish.

"dad!!"

At about four or five o'clock, Xiulan ran over with her daughter and Xiongba, and Xiaoxia called out from a distance.

"Come, daddy, give me a hug." Lin Heng took it.

"Dad, mommy hit me today!" As soon as she reached Lin Heng's arms, Xiaoxia leaned her head on his shoulder and complained, not daring to look at her mother with her big eyes.

"Come on, come on, I'll spank you again and let you complain." Xiulan smiled and walked over to spank her again.

"Dad, dad, save me, she beat your daughter to pieces, and you... you won't have a daughter."

Xiaoxia was so frightened that she quickly hugged Lin Heng's neck.

Lin Heng laughed and covered his daughter's butt: "It's okay, daddy will protect you and won't let the bad woman beat you."

Xiaoxia's head was buried in her father's arms, her big eyes rolled, she pointed at her mother and whispered: "If my mother hits me, I am a bad woman. If she doesn't hit me... she is not."

Xiulan was amused, came over, pinched her face and said, "Humph, next time you play with water and get your clothes wet, I'll beat her up."

"Don't spank, butt... If your butt is spanked, you won't have a daughter." Xiaoxia pressed against her father's chest, looking at her mother and begging for mercy in a low voice.

"Then don't get your clothes wet next time, and mom won't spank you." Lin Heng looked at her and said.

"No more, no more." Xiaoxia shook her head fiercely and covered her butt.

Looking at her daughter, Xiulan couldn't help but say. "My daughter will look for you as soon as she wakes up, and she can't stop her."

"Then you should take a rest, the work is endless." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Is the pig roasted yet?" Xiulan walked over and looked at the golden roasted suckling pig.

"It's not ready yet. It's not ripe inside yet. It will take another two hours. You can brush it with some more honey."

Lin Heng said with a smile that the roasted suckling pig is already sizzling and oily, and it only needs to be brushed with honey.

"Okay." Xiulan came over and looked after the roasted suckling pig.

"Dad, what is that?" Xiaoxia asked curiously, pointing to the roasted suckling pig.

"That's pig pig. Let's eat pig pig tonight." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Zhuzhu, I want to eat roast pig!" Xiaoxia waved her little hands, feeling happy.

Later, Lin Heng put Xiaoxia down and took her fishing together. Seeing that Lin Heng kept catching small fish, she wanted to play too.

But she was too young to fish at all. She couldn't catch any fish, so she got a little angry. She turned around and picked up a stone and threw it into the water: "I'll hit you~"

She threw it into the water with a snap. Seeing the splashes, she laughed foolishly.

She hadn't learned how to fish yet, but she had already learned the fisherman's anger.

"Here, I'll give you another one." Lin Heng handed her another small stone.

Xiaoxia threw stones happily for a long time and laughed happily.

The family of three had a lot of fun playing by the river. Many people passed by in the afternoon, and no one didn't envy them.

No matter how second-rate Lin Heng was before, everyone's opinion of him has changed now, and no one in the village doesn't envy him.

At dusk, around seven o'clock, the suckling pig was thoroughly roasted. Lin Heng asked Xiulan to brush it with white vinegar and roast it for a while.

"It smells so good, second brother, so beautiful, it smells delicious."

Caiyun came down to help get things, and looked at the golden crispy roasted suckling pig and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

"It's ready to eat. Please help take it home and we can start eating." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay." Caiyun licked her lips and walked in front with the roast suckling pig. Lin Heng walked in the middle with his daughter in his arms, and Xiulan walked at the end with the food.

On the way back, we met many people, and everyone was drooling. Such a golden crispy roast suckling pig is really enviable in this era.
