Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

This stallion did have a problem. He had a cold last year and couldn't stand up. In the end, he was lucky enough to carry it. However, his endurance and labor capacity have dropped a lot since then, but it's not noticeable at all unless he's pulling heavy objects.

They didn't expect to meet such an experienced person as Lin Heng. It wasn't enough to check the body and limbs. They also had to be ridden twice to listen to the breathing rhythm.

They thought that Lin Heng, who was young and a nouveau riche, would spend a lot of money on things, but the experience of this veteran surprised both of them. Fortunately, the stallion had only been sick before and was fine now.

Otherwise, it would be terrible if Lin Heng found out.

Wang Zhou on the side had no idea that Uncle Li, who was so kind to him, had such bad intentions. He said stupidly: "It seems that this stallion is better. He is much taller, Brother Lin."

Lin Heng smiled slightly: "I just like this mare. How much does it cost?"

Li Gui looked at Lin Heng and responded, "This mare costs five hundred yuan."

"This is impossible. A cow only costs three to four hundred yuan, and your horse costs five hundred." Lin Heng immediately shook his head.

This year, a 300-jin pig is sold for only 1,400 to 50 yuan, and a 5-600-jin ox is only 4 to 500 yuan. This is not a good horse, and the price is too expensive.

Li Gui smiled bitterly and said, "This is a good horse. It's a purebred Mongolian gelding. It can pull six to seven hundred kilograms easily. And it's a female horse. It can give birth to cubs. It's really not expensive."

Lin Heng shook his head and said: "The price is four hundred yuan. If you agree, I will buy it. If you don't agree, forget it."

Don't tell him about any kind of horse. It's crazy that there are any kind of horses in this place.

Li Gui's voice was urgent: "This price is impossible. Four hundred and nine is the lowest price I can recommend. Now this mare is almost 400 pounds."

"Then I can't give you a higher price. If you bother me today, I'll look elsewhere. If it doesn't work, I'll just buy a donkey." Lin Heng shook his head. The price was out of the question.

"Well, if you buy that stallion, I'll give you a cheaper price. How about four hundred and fifty?" Li Gui thought for a while and said.

Lin Heng smiled: "You still want to sell the stallion for 450 yuan, but I don't even want 400 yuan."

After smiling, he added: "Let me go back and think about it for two days."

There are not many people in Huangtan Town who can afford to buy a batch of adult horses, so he has plenty of room for bargaining.

At this time, the driver's uncle came over and stopped him: "Boss Lin, let's take a step back. You can take this mare for 470. After all, it is a mare, and it has been well trained. The price is really not expensive." "

"Four hundred and twenty yuan, I'll give you cash. If you don't want to, just find someone else. Not many can pay it off at once." Lin Heng waved his hand and said.

He is really leaving this time. Don't be in a hurry when buying things. He suffered many losses when he was young.

Li Gui frowned and was very unhappy: "Boss Lin, you didn't really buy this. Why are you wasting my time? Isn't this just for entertainment?"

"I bought it sincerely, but your price is too expensive." Lin Heng shook his head and left with Wang Zhou.

The driver uncle stayed here and did not leave.

Wang Zhou hesitated to speak on the way, and finally thought for a while and said nothing.

"You can say whatever you want." Lin Heng looked at him.

Wang Zhou shook his head and said: "I think about it carefully, Brother Lin, you are right. It is right to look at more places for something worth more than 400 yuan."

He originally wanted to speak for the driver, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was inappropriate. First of all, there is too much money involved, and secondly, he is now Lin Heng's subordinate.

Lin Heng was a little surprised by Wang Zhou's words. He didn't expect him to say such words, and his trust and evaluation of him became higher.

"Do you know why I didn't buy that stallion? I'm sure it was sick." Lin Heng said what he didn't want to say at first, but now he said it to him.

Wang Zhou was a little stunned: "Ah, no way! Uncle Li is a very nice person."

Lin Heng smiled and said, "That horse was only sick before and is not sick now. He probably also wants to make some money. I understand. It's okay."

Wang Zhou didn't believe it and asked Lin Heng how he could tell. After Lin Heng explained the details, Wang Zhou was convinced: "Brother Lin, you know too much."

Lin Heng shook his head: "Read more books and summarize more."

In fact, this is all the experience gained from the sixty years of stepping into pitfalls in his previous life. He has suffered losses several times because of his recklessness.

Lin Wei wrote this down. Now that his work was easier, he found that he could really read and study.

When he returned to town at 5:40, he gave Wang Zhou a warning, and Lin Heng walked home.

When he walked to Baima Village, Lin Heng went to find Carpenter Liang and asked him about custom-made bath buckets.

Seeing him, Carpenter Liang was shocked. He wanted him to stay for dinner, but Lin Heng refused repeatedly before he could leave.

Watching Lin Heng leave, Liang Carpenter couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. When he went to Lin's house four months ago, he never expected that this young man would grow to such an extent in such a short period of time.

When I left, I just felt that he had a bright future. However, within a short time, he opened a buying station and a canteen, and became a small boss.

But he himself remained unchanged.

When he was approaching Hongfeng Village, Lin Heng saw Caiyun. She and Liu Ciwen were walking side by side on the road, seeming to be discussing something.

But he has nothing to worry about. Both of them are determined to study and will not think about love at this stage.

As for the future, he has nothing to do with it. As long as Caiyun doesn't get deceived, it doesn't matter who she likes.

He was too lazy to catch up and say hello, walking slowly, picking an early-ripening August melon on the way.

August melons are purple-red when they are old, and the fruit is full of seeds, but it is very sweet, even a little cloying.

He ate half of it, sipped it a few times in his mouth, and spit out all the juice like a machine gun when he finished drinking it. When he was a child, he would compete to see who could spit faster and farther.

Back home, Lin's mother and others were using a windmill to turn millet. The millet had been initially dried, and it would continue to be dried after turning.

"There are so many empty shells. Dad, how many kilograms do you estimate the yield per mu this year?" Lin Heng said with emotion as he walked into the yard.

A small half of the empty shells were turned out by the windmill.

Lin's father shook his head and sighed: "More than 300 kilograms, about the same number every day. I heard that some places have fertilizers and high-quality seeds, which can reach 600 to 700 kilograms per mu, but I don't know if it's true."

"I estimate that it will be popularized here at most next year or the year after, and we will know then." Lin Heng said.

The places where chemical fertilizers are popularized now are mainly in some grain-producing areas such as Henan and Hebei in the three northeastern provinces. The transportation is inconvenient and transportation is difficult in these places, so it has not been popularized yet.

I remember that it will gradually become popular from next year.

"I hope so. This kind of crop is really not profitable. Even if the yield is 400 kilograms per mu, 9 mu of land is 3,600 kilograms. According to the price of rice, it is only 540 yuan per kilogram. You can make it back in two months." Father Lin sighed.

In fact, even if it is an ordinary store, the annual income is much more profitable than growing crops now. Father Lin didn't understand it before, and now he is a little depressed.

"Haha!" Seeing the depressed expression of Father Lin, Lin Heng couldn't help laughing.

Planting crops in non-plain areas is not a good business. This thing needs to be large enough to make money.

"What are you laughing at? Come and help move the millet." Father Lin glared at him.

Lin Heng came over to help move the millet. It was temporarily placed with Father Lin. It will be distributed after it is completely dried and paid for.

After finishing all this, it was dark. Lin's mother made white flour steamed buns, and the dishes were fried bamboo chicken and fried cucumber. During the meal, Lin Heng talked about his purchase of horses.

Lin's mother was amazed: "You still have this ability?"

Lin Heng didn't want to pay attention to his mother, and looked at his wife: "Xiu Lan, just tell me if I am awesome or not?"

Xiu Lan nodded, looked at Lin's mother and nodded and said: "Lin Heng is very good. He asked me to choose the male and female chicks before, and I was right."

Then Xiu Lan repeated to everyone the skills that Lin Heng taught her to choose male and female chickens. She cooperated with her husband very well.

"No wonder you have so many hens, so this is the case." Lin Yue was shocked. He thought at first that it was just Lin Heng's good luck.

Liu Juan also sighed and said, "Why didn't you tell me in advance? I bought ten chickens, and now there are seven roosters. They fight every day, and I'm so worried."

"You've bought them all, so it's useless for us to tell you." Lin Heng took a bite of bamboo chicken meat. Although the bamboo chicken is small, it tastes really good, the meat is tender and not dry.

"You can't be in a hurry to pick a horse, just look for it slowly." Lin's father nodded, after all, there is so much money.

While eating bamboo chicken, Lin Heng asked again: "Bamboo rat?"

"I fried it when my uncle and uncle left at noon, and I left some for you at home." Xiulan said.

"Oh, then just eat it directly, no need to leave it for me." Lin Heng was just curious, and he didn't care who ate it.

After dinner, they chatted for a few more words, and Lin Heng and Xiulan took their daughter home to rest.

The next day, Lin Heng got up early and took Xiaoxia and Xiongba to stroll in the village. There was no purpose, just a simple walk.

When they were almost under the ginkgo tree, a big rooster rushed towards Xiaoxia, trying to peck people fiercely.

"You want to die, don't you?" Lin Heng kicked him away, but the guy rushed over again with his wings flapping.

"Xiongba, step back, I'll do it myself."

Lin Heng let go of his daughter's hand, chased the big rooster and kicked it hard until it admitted defeat and ran away.

Those big roosters in the village that had eaten centipedes or bees were very fierce. They had pecked him a lot when he was a child, and now they even wanted to peck his precious daughter.

Xiaoxia watched Lin Heng chasing the big rooster and applauded with joy: "Dad is awesome, so awesome!!"

"This damn rooster is so annoying!" Uncle Liu San said from a distance.

"Yes, I'm going to eat it one day." Lin Heng pulled his daughter and walked over to say.

Xiongba saw that the big rooster had come back again, and he chased it and pressed it down in a few strokes, and ravaged it severely, scaring it so that its legs trembled.

"What is this?" Xiaoxia pointed curiously at a yellow flute in Uncle Liu San's hand.

"This is a flute. Grandpa will play it for you." Liu Sanye took two breaths and started playing the flute.

Although he couldn't understand the tune, the sound was nice, melodious and pleasant.

Xiaoxia cheered and clapped her hands when she heard the sound, which made Liu Sanye happy and he played even harder.

But after a while, he stopped and panted, "No, I'm old, and I can't play all the songs."

"I want to listen, I want to listen!" Xiaoxia jumped and cheered.

"Wait a while, Grandpa is old and has no strength." Liu Sanye sat down on the bench next to him, touched Xiaoxia's little face and said with a smile.

"Dad plays!" Xiaoxia turned her head and looked at Lin Heng again.

"Dad can't." Lin Heng smiled and shook his head.

When he was a child, he played with Liu Sanye's flute when he was herding cattle with him, but he could only play it with difficulty and didn't know any songs at all.

After taking a break, Uncle Liu started to play again. There were not many people under the ginkgo tree in the morning, so Xiaoxia had a lot of fun.

After playing for a while, Lin Heng took Xiaoxia to continue strolling around. Xiaoxia walked in front and Lin Heng followed her.

"Grandpa!" After walking a few steps, Xiaoxia saw Father Lin coming back from the field with corn on his back, and ran over excitedly.

"Grandpa is dirty, don't hug him." Father Lin quickly pulled her back and coaxed her for a few words before she stopped.

"Let's go back and peel the corn to make mash." Father Lin looked at Lin Heng and said.

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded and walked back with his daughter.

Go home, peel the corn, stir it with a wooden stick to pick up the corn husks, and then you can start making mash.

Mother Lin has cleaned the millstone in the yard. After installing it, Lin Heng and his father pushed the millstone, and Mother Lin added corn and water.

After turning a few times, the crushed corn residue mixed with corn pulp flowed out.

Lin Heng pushed for a while, and his elder brother Lin Yue came to take over his hand.

The three of them took turns pushing for a whole morning to make two buckets of corn slurry.

"It's so tiring." Lin Heng sighed, his waist hurt from pushing.

"It's divided, you can choose it yourself." Lin's mother divided the slurry into three portions.

"I want to talk about the smallest one."

Lin Heng took the smallest portion home, and it would take half a day to ferment before it tasted good.

Xiulan covered the slurry with a gauze net to prevent insects from getting in.

After having breakfast together, Lin Heng lay on the mat in a daze, thinking about future plans.

The main goal is to build a breeding base in Hongfeng Mountain. In the early stage, fish and shrimp will be raised and dendrobium cultivation will be studied, and the scale of the industry will be slowly expanded in the later stage.

While living a good life, steadily develop your career step by step.

Hunting cannot stop, and you can still make a lot of money by hunting in the mountains. There are many good things in the mountains.

He also likes the feeling of hunting in the mountains, and he wants to have more fun while he can still hunt now, because it will not be allowed in a few years.

But he will not go to the mountains recently. It is more than half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and he has to accompany Xiulan back to her parents' home.

Xiulan has not been back since she got married, and it has been two years.

When she returns from her parents' home, she can go to the mountains to pick chestnuts, wax gourds, and Schisandra chinensis.

Thinking about it, Lin Heng fell asleep, and it was already past two o'clock when he woke up.

He looked at the watch and then at his daughter who was sleeping next to him.

He got up and drank a glass of water. He had eaten too many dates recently, and his blood was so vigorous that he had a nosebleed.

"What are you going to do in the afternoon?" Xiulan asked Lin Heng, she had not fallen asleep, just lying on the mat to rest.

Lin Heng said: "Didn't I tell you before that I plan to build a wooden house over there? Let's go check out the place today. Do you want to go with me?"

He bought a diesel saw just to prepare for building a wooden house. After the millet was harvested, he was relatively free. He had chosen a place and could ask his father to help.

"Okay, I'll go get some grass for the badgers and musk deer." Xiulan nodded.

At half past three, the two took their daughter and Xiongba up the mountain. Lin Heng also brought bows and arrows and slingshots.

Today, he encountered prey and must teach it a lesson.

When he arrived at Hongfeng Mountain, he was sweating all over. It was much cooler after he got into the forest.

Lin Heng wiped Xiaoxia's sweat with a towel, and then wiped himself. The three of them each took a towel, all bought by Lin Heng.

"Dad, I have a lot of ants." Xiaoxia pointed to the ants moving on the ground and said curiously.

"Don't touch it, it will bite your hand." Lin Heng warned, and Xiaoxia immediately retracted her hand a lot.

After a short break, Lin Heng stood up and said, "Wife, where do you think the wooden house should be built? We can live there in the fall."

"Let's look up. This one is not good. I think the one where the Dendrobium is planted is good." Xiulan looked around. It was a little too steep here.

Lin Heng nodded, "I was thinking of that side too. It's not far from the stream and it's relatively flat."

Continuing forward, Xiongba was having fun in the forest. Lin Heng looked around but didn't find any prey.

Not long after, they came to the forest where Dendrobium officinale was planted. This place was close to the stream and the humidity was not small.

"These Dendrobiums are actually alive." Xiulan was a little surprised when she looked at the Dendrobiums on the tree trunks.

Most of them are alive and have sprouted new buds. This was something she didn't expect. When Lin Heng planted Dendrobiums like this, she didn't have any hope at all. She just thought of accompanying Lin Heng to do experiments.

"It will definitely survive, because the environment where the dug Dendrobiums grow is like this, very similar." Lin Heng said with a smile.

These dendrobiums are alive and will bloom in May and June next year. He can try to expand the scale of planting and further study planting techniques after harvesting seeds.

After looking at the dendrobiums, Lin Heng took Xiulan to look around the forest and finally chose to build a wooden house a little west of the forest where the dendrobiums were planted.

This location is 300 meters away from the stream in a straight line. If the trees in front are cut down, you can have a panoramic view of both sides of the river at this position. The location is very good.

There are mostly tall maple trees in the back and west, and there are cotinus coggygria at the foot of the mountain. When autumn comes, the scenery will definitely be picturesque. How happy it would be to have a barbecue with the family in such an environment, eating and watching the scenery.

After choosing a place, Lin Heng made a detailed plan. It would be enough to build a temporary cabin with an area of ​​50 to 60 square meters.

Then Lin Heng looked for prey in the forest for a while, but he was unlucky today. Not only did he not find any prey, he was also stung by a live chili pepper, and a small bag appeared on his hand.

He went down the mountain to the edge of the field to pull mulberry leaves and mulberry leaves back to feed the musk deer and wild hogs. Lin Heng took his wife and children to play in the water by the stream for an hour, and waited until the sun was over before carrying things back home.

It was already past six o'clock. Lin Heng was walking on the road with his wife and children, and suddenly a series of shrill horns came.

Looking back, a red motorcycle rumbled from a distance, with three young men sitting on it.

Lin Heng recognized the man driving the motorcycle as Zhao Hu, the son of the village chief, but he ignored it and walked back with his daughter on the side of the road.

However, many people in the village looked over curiously when they saw the motorcycle.

With a swish, Zhao Hu stopped the motorcycle suddenly and stopped beside Lin Heng. He looked at him and smiled, "Lin Heng, take a look at my motorcycle?"

The two people sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle were Jin Hai and Liu Sheng. They were also very proud, as if they had made a lot of money recently.

I have a serious writer's block, so I posted it a little late.
