Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

Lin Heng took Caiyun out and met Tang Qing, the village chief Zhao's ready-made clothes, as soon as he went out.

"Lin Heng, what are you doing here?" Tang Qing thought so he said hello first.

In the past, she always waited for others to speak first, and she didn't even notice this small change.

"Aunt Tang, I'll send my sister to middle school." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Caiyun goes to school?" Tang Qing was caught off guard. In the past two days, she had been thinking about coming to marry her son Zhao Hu.

Caiyun was originally beautiful, and many people in the village had noticed her and wanted to marry their son.

Lin Heng has made a lot of money recently, and Caiyun has been rising even more. In the past few days, many people have been going to Lin's father's house frequently to chat and test their voices.

Tang Qing was also planning to talk to Mother Lin in the next two days, but she had to go to school.

"Yes, it will be good for her to read more books. Say no more, Aunt Tang, we are in a hurry." Lin Heng said with a smile and left with his sister.

Tang Qing watched Lin Heng and Caiyun leave, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"What's the point of going to school for a girl? She's already dropped out of school for a year." Tang Qing didn't quite understand. She felt that Caiyun wouldn't be able to go to school for a long time.

"Aunt Tang is so weird today." Caiyun said a little strangely while walking.

"You have to be lucky that school has just started. Otherwise, in a short while, the threshold of our family will be broken through, and everyone will come to ask for marriage." Lin Heng said looking at Caiyun.

In her last life, Caiyun got engaged in August next year. After marrying the wrong person, her subsequent life was miserable and miserable for the rest of her life.

Fortunately, he finally changed everything in this life.

"Ah! Could it be that Aunt Tang also wants to marry her son? It's too scary." Caiyun's eyes widened, and she was afraid for a while.

"Thank you so much, second brother. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do." Caiyun tugged on Lin Heng's clothes and burst into tears of gratitude.

If she didn't have her second brother, she really didn't know what she would do in the future. Even if she wanted to study, she wouldn't have the chance. Like most rural girls, she would probably marry according to her parents' arrangements.

"So just study hard and don't think too much about the rest. I'm here." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Okay." Caiyun nodded, feeling good to have someone to rely on.

Lin Heng looked at Caiyun and said, "By the way, you probably only have to go to school for a few days to find a place to live in Huangtan Town."

The middle school in the town cannot provide students with accommodation, and everyone has to travel to school. After Caiyun went to school, she had to get up early to go to the town to go to school every day, and come back after school in the afternoon.

I usually get a piece of dry food for lunch, and very few eat in the school cafeteria.

"What do you mean?" Caiyun turned his head, looking confused.

"I won't tell you for now, I'll tell you later." Lin Heng laughed and let it slide.

"What do you think, second brother?" Caiyun begged.

But Lin Heng didn't say anything, so she could only give up and make random guesses.

It was only past seven o'clock when the two of them arrived at Huangtan Town, and school registration hadn't started yet.

Lin Hengxian took Xiulan to his teacher Guo Xu.

"Teacher Guo, didn't you say you wanted a fishing rod before? I brought it to you."

Lin Heng walked to the door of the office and found Guo Xu writing.

"I'm just saying this casually. You're too polite." Guo Xu put down his pen, feeling a little flattered.

"Teacher Guo, we can be considered friends. It's not worth much. Why are you so polite to me?" Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Haha, I'll accept it without mercy, thank you." Guo Xu took the fishing rod and looked at it, feeling very satisfied.

"This next to you is your sister Lin Caiyun, right? You two look so much alike." Guo Xu said with a smile.

Lin Heng told him about Caiyun, and he was still a little shocked at the time.

Lin Heng, who dropped out of school on his own initiative, actually sent his sister to study at his own expense.

"Yes." Lin Heng smiled and nodded, "I need to trouble the teacher more to take care of me at school."

"Hello, Teacher Guo!" Caiyun nodded respectfully.

"Don't worry, I will protect you well at school." Guo Xu said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, when the time came, Lin Heng took Caiyun to sign up.

In this era, schools are very short of students. Even if you drop out of school for a year, there will be no problem in registering, and there is no need to go through any connections.

Bringing the fishing rod to Guo Xu was purely out of gratitude.

"Brother Lin Heng!"

When I arrived at the junior high school freshman registration office, Liu Ciwen was also here, smiling and saying hello from a distance.

"If you sign up too, then you and Caiyun can go back together." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Yes." Liu Ciwen nodded. He knew that Caiyun was coming to school yesterday.

Lin Heng and Liu Ciwen chatted for a while, and soon it was Caiyun's turn to sign up.

The number of new students enrolled in junior high school in Huangtan Town is less than thirty.

Most people only need to go to elementary school to be literate, and junior high school is almost not considered.

After all, you won't be assigned a job after junior high school. You must at least be admitted to a technical secondary school to be useful.

Many people feel that it is better to go home and farm.

Caiyun's class teacher is a female teacher in her twenties, whom Lin Heng doesn't recognize. She glanced at Lin Heng, as if she was surprised that he could send a girl to school.

"Just fill in the information." The female teacher looked at Caiyun and said.

"Okay, teacher." Caiyun took the pen and began to fill it out carefully, stroke by stroke.

After filling out the information, the female teacher looked at Lin Heng and said: "The tuition fee is six yuan, the book fee is eight yuan, and you have to pay for food if you eat at school at noon. The meal for nine yuan a month is white flour and rice, and the one for six yuan is Multigrain rice.”

"Then pay for a month's worth of flour and rice first, a total of 23 yuan, right?"

Before Lin Heng finished speaking, Caiyun hurriedly shook her head: "Second brother, I can bring food from home, so you don't have to pay for it."

"I don't need this little money." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"That won't work either, please take it back." Caiyun insisted that she was very grateful to be able to go to school, and she really didn't want to spend more money on her second brother.

"Okay, then just pay the tuition." Lin Heng nodded helplessly and handed over 14 yuan.

The teacher collected the money, wrote a receipt and handed it to Lin Heng: "The class will start at ten o'clock, and students don't want to leave today."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded.

After signing up, Lin Heng took out two more yuan and handed it to Caiyun: "Take it to buy stationery and food."

"Don't refuse, if you are stubborn, I will hit you in the head." Lin Heng said sternly.

"Okay, thank you, second brother." Caiyun had to take it.

"Don't have so many psychological burdens. Second brother will need your knowledge to help him open a big company in the future." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"I will definitely help your second brother." Caiyun nodded vigorously, and there was another goal in her heart.

"Okay, go and have fun by yourself, and it's okay to meet new classmates.

Don't be wronged at school. You can tell me anything, don't hold it in yourself."

Patting Caiyun's shoulder again, Lin Heng left after giving her a warning.

There is no need to worry too much, Caiyun has learned to protect herself a long time ago.

"Goodbye, second brother!" Caiyun sent Lin Heng to the school gate before turning back.

Lin Heng walked out of the school and went directly to the blacksmith shop in the town.

The blacksmith shop is relatively remote and is not on the main street of Huangtan Town.

Lin Heng walked for ten minutes and arrived at the blacksmith shop. He heard the sound of iron forging from a distance.

When he got closer, he could see messy scrap iron placed in the yard, and a sign of [Li's Blacksmith Shop] was hung next to the gate of the yard.

This blacksmith shop has been around for five or six years. I heard that the family's ancestors were blacksmiths, and they resumed their old business after the reform and opening up.

Lin Heng walked into the yard and saw two young men forging iron. One of them was hammering with a sledgehammer, and the other was moving the red-hot iron constantly, cooperating very well.

A middle-aged man in his forties next to them was sharpening a knife and teaching the two.

From their appearance, you can tell that they are a father and son.

"Excuse me, what do you want to forge?"

Seeing Lin Heng come in, the middle-aged man stopped sharpening the knife and asked with a smile. His smile was very honest.

"I want to forge a kitchen knife and a short dagger for hunting. I have to forge them with hundred-tempered steel." Lin Heng looked around and said.

"The kitchen knives and daggers made of hundred-tempered steel are not cheap. In fact, kitchen knives and daggers made of ordinary steel are enough." This middle-aged man was too honest.

"Just hundred-tempered steel, how much is it?" Lin Heng waved his hand and said indifferently.

"The kitchen knife made of hundred-refined steel costs five dollars, and the dagger costs four dollars. We guarantee that they are all high-quality hundred-refined steel that we have forged hundreds of times manually.

You can take it back and use it. If it is cut or the blade is broken, you can take it back and replace it for free." The middle-aged man said with a smile. His main business is integrity.

Lin Heng nodded, not doubting this. The blacksmith shop relies on integrity to make a living. He asked again: "How long will it take to get the knife?"

"We have ready-made hundred-refined steel. Take a look at the knife shape. You can come to pick it up at noon tomorrow." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

Lin Heng nodded and went into the house with him. This family is more professional. There is also a knife pattern chart made of kraft paper, which depicts many different knives. No wonder his family is the most famous in the surrounding area.

"This is an old item. It was passed down from my ancestors, uncle." Lin Heng flipped through the kraft paper and asked with a smile.

The uncle surnamed Li grinned: "It is indeed inherited from my ancestors."

"Then my dagger should be of this shape, and the kitchen knife should be of this more normal shape." Lin Heng flipped through it and confirmed the shape of the knife.

He also wanted to have a handsome hunting knife like Bear Grylls, which would be much more convenient to go hunting in the mountains. The previous knife was not very good.

After that, he took out a dollar and gave it to the uncle surnamed Li: "This is a deposit, I will come to pick it up in two days, please make it better."

The uncle surnamed Li was flattered when he took the money. Usually, he would come and say something and leave, and would not give a deposit at all.

Lin Heng's behavior made him feel great trust, and he smiled and said: "Okay, take care, I promise you will be satisfied by then."

The business of nine dollars in total may be his biggest business this month. Usually, a hoe or something like that only costs a little more than one dollar.

After all, the steel production capacity has increased at this time, and the prices of industrial mass-produced knives and hoes are also very cheap.

After leaving the blacksmith shop, Lin Heng did not rush home. He came to a blue brick house covering an area of ​​500 square meters. The house was located not far from the purchasing station opened by Liu Qicheng.

This location is very good. If you want to sell things at Liu Qicheng's purchasing station, you will definitely pass by this house.

The brown wooden door was closed, and the person seemed to be away from home.

However, Lin Heng knew where the owner's house was. After looking again, he turned and went to the Huangtan River.

After searching around the Huangtan River, he saw an old man in his sixties wearing brown clothes and a straw hat.

The old man was holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand and was fishing in a bay.

"Uncle, did you catch anything?" Lin Heng came over and asked with a smile, handing out a cigarette.

"I caught a small crucian carp. I don't smoke. Thank you." The old man pointed to the plastic bucket next to him and said.

"It's not small, it's a big crucian carp." Lin Heng took a look and praised. This is a big crucian carp of half a catty, which is not considered big in this era.

"Not bad, not bad." Hearing Lin Heng's praise, the old man immediately showed a happy smile.

"Actually, I fish too, but I didn't take a rod today." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Oh, you and the young kid also like fishing." The old man was a little surprised when he heard it. It's rare for young people to like fishing.

"Yes." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Taking advantage of this topic, I chatted with the old man. Although fishing may fail, the fisherman's theoretical knowledge is advanced and rich.

He can analyze and judge from many aspects such as water temperature, wind direction, air pressure, fishing position, and even how to fish.

He also understands the fisherman's heart, has great empathy, and says the right words at the right time.

At first, the old man thought Lin Heng was a novice and came here to learn from him.

But as they chatted, he was shocked by Lin Heng's abundant knowledge of fishing, and felt a sense of familiarity.

"What's your surname? What's your name?" The old man asked Lin Heng's name curiously.

"No need to be surnamed Lin, my name is Lin Heng." Lin Heng replied with a smile.

"Come on, try fishing twice." The old man handed the bamboo fishing rod to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng picked it up and looked at it. His fishing rod was too rough. Obviously, this old man didn't know how to make a fishing rod by himself.

And he used the most traditional long-pole short-line dull rod fishing method, which was too slow to catch crucian carp and carp.

"Then I'll try it." Lin Heng said with a smile and hung a new earthworm.

This time he used the teasing fishing method, and the fishhook was gently teased twice. He thought that this old man should have a lot of fish after making a nest, and he couldn't catch them because the dull rod was too insensitive.

After teasing for a few times, he suddenly felt a pulling force, and Lin Heng raised the rod to stab the fish and controlled it.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and praised: "Not bad, young man, you are really good."

"It's you who made the nest, and I benefited from you." Lin Heng said with a smile.

He quickly pulled the fish out of the water, and a golden crucian carp appeared on the surface of the water.

When he pulled it ashore, it was bigger than the one the old man had just caught, and weighed one kilogram.

"I'm so lucky." Lin Heng said with a smile, there are so many fish in this era, and the big crucian carps are all over half a kilogram.

"Xiao Lin, your skills are good, let's go fishing together another day." The old man said with a smile.

Lin Heng returned the fishing rod to the old man and nodded, "Okay, I'll take down the rod another day and we'll go together."

After returning the fishing rod to the old man, Lin Heng sat next to him and chatted again. When the old man caught a fish, he went to help catch the fish.

With Lin Heng's technical guidance and good resources, the old man caught more than ten big crucian carps in two hours.

"Okay, I'm done. I had a lot of fun fishing today, all thanks to you, Xiaolin."

It was hot after ten o'clock, and the old man put away his fishing rod and looked at Lin Heng and said with a smile.

"No, no, it's all your own ability." Lin Heng shook his head and said.

"Don't be modest." The old man shook his head.

After packing up his things, he looked at Lin Heng and said, "Xiaolin, I'm afraid you didn't come to me specifically to fish."

"It was a coincidence. I was happy to see someone fishing like me." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"If you don't say anything, then I'll leave." The old man glanced at him.

"Haha, it's true that there's something going on, but I really hit it off with you, Grandpa Gao, and I love fishing too." Lin Heng laughed.

"Then tell me, I'm just an ordinary old man and I can't help you much." Grandpa Gao looked at him and said.

"It's like this, I want to rent your house to do some business." Lin Heng smiled and said his purpose.

This old man Gao is not ordinary. Not only is he a veteran who participated in the Korean War, but his son is still serving in the army and his nephew is an official in Nanping County.

This old man could have gone to the city to enjoy his old age, but he is upright and unwilling to waste national resources, and insists on living alone in the town.

Moreover, he does not show off his achievements and lives his own life alone.

Lin Heng knew about this matter in his previous life when the old man died.

Renting his house, one is to respect this old man who serves the country, so that he can have an income and live a better life.

Another is for safety. He opened a purchasing station here. If someone uses small tricks to set fire or something, he will be dead. This old man has a background.

Moreover, this old man has a good character and will not argue about money. If it were someone else, it would be hard to say whether the rent would increase every year.

"What business do you do?" Uncle Gao asked after looking at Lin Heng.

"I plan to open a purchasing station." Lin Heng said truthfully.

Grandpa Gao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, but there is a condition."

"You tell me." Lin Heng said quickly.

"That is, you have to accompany me fishing twice a month." Grandpa Gao said with a smile.

"That's not a problem. Even if you don't tell me, I will take the initiative to find you to go fishing." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Then let's go, go back first." Grandpa Gao looked at Lin Heng and said.

During the chat just now, he had already understood Lin Heng's situation, that he was just an ordinary farmer.

He thought that renting his house was a normal small business, not to use his influence to seek benefits.

But he didn't expect that Lin Heng really knew.

However, even if he knew his identity, Lin Heng had no such idea. It was enough for him to slowly develop his career and he did not want to take any shortcuts. Shortcuts often lead to the abyss.

The main reason for renting his house was that the location was good, and it was worry-free to know him well.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and helped hold the fishing rod. The catch was naturally left to him.

On the way back, this old man Gao inevitably showed off his catch, with a happy smile on his face.

Back at the old man's house, Lin Heng found that the house was not only big, but there was also a bigger yard behind it, in which many flowers, plants and trees were planted.

Old man Gao kept him for lunch, and then the two talked about the rent. In the end, Lin Heng took the house for a rent of 100 yuan per year.

It's not that Lin Heng was stingy. Before he opened his mouth, old man Gao said the price first. He couldn't bargain higher.

After drafting the contract and signing it, Lin Heng felt at ease.

The next step is to sell the Coriolus versicolor and open a purchasing station.
