Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Heng had prepared everything, but Lin Hai ran over.

"Brother Lin Heng, I heard that you are going to the city. Can you take me down for a few days?" Lin Hai looked at Lin Heng and asked.

"Have you thought about it?"

Lin Heng looked at him and asked.

"Yes, I'll go down and give it a try. I'll dig out the pond for my dad these two days." Lin Hai nodded.

"Okay, any day before the 15th will do. Let me know when you have it done."

Lin Heng patted him on the shoulder and said, he asked him to take care of his hair. He still had to help with this kind of thing.

Anyway, he can do it any day, it’s still early to plant crops.

"Then let's take the twelfth. How about it, Brother Lin?" Lin Hai asked.

"No problem, I'll pick you up early on the 12th." Lin Heng nodded.

After making the agreement, he often went home. Lin Heng's daily routine was pretty much the same these days, mainly training the puppies and regularly checking the water quality of the hatching pond.

The rest of the time is spent at home with Xiaoxia Xiulan, and occasionally going out hunting in the afternoon.

Early spring prey is not easy to hunt, and he has been out of the air for a long time.

On the morning of the 12th, Lin Heng called his eldest brother to go into the city together after dinner.

The business of his eldest brother's small shop has been good since it opened. The main items sold are daily items. It is estimated that he can make forty or fifty yuan in a month.

Although it's not much, it's still a very stable income, and it's much better than before after one year.

My sister-in-law sells goods, and her eldest brother is also driving in the mountains these days. Many people in the village are driving in the mountains during the slack season.

"Brother, did you hear the news that Wang Kaidian and the others got a muntjac yesterday?"

Lin Yue asked with a smile as he got into the car.

"No, I didn't go out at home yesterday. What a big muntjac." Lin Heng asked curiously.

"It was said to be a 50-pound giant muntjac. Four people fought it together. Wang Bing was still showing off to me. If we hit the bear, he would be so angry that he vomited blood." Lin Yue said with a smile.

"Then they are very lucky." Lin Heng lamented that he had not hit anything recently.

As he spoke, he drove to his third father's house. Lin Hai had already packed up at the door of the house, carrying a backpack, and his parents were beside him giving instructions.

"Three dads and three moms!" Lin Heng greeted with a smile.

"Lin Heng, can you find a job for Lin Hai? I'm really worried about him going to the city alone." Li Xue said quickly when she saw Lin Heng.

"There's nothing I can do about it. I can only find him a place to live." Lin Heng shook his head.

"It's okay, Mom, I can take care of myself." Lin Hai said and got in the car.

After the third father and the third mother finished their instructions, Lin Heng drove off.

Lin Hai was still a little nervous along the way. He didn't know what to do when he went down.

"Let me see if I can find you a temporary job." Lin Heng finally said softly.

"Thank you, Brother Lin." Lin Hai said quickly.

The road into the city was easier to walk, and we arrived in the city at eleven o'clock. Compared with the mountains, it is warmer here in the city. The withered grass has become green, and peach blossoms are even blooming in some places.

Lin Heng also accumulated a lot of contacts in the city, but it was not difficult to find a part-time job for help. Finally, he found a backbreaking job of helping to move food, which cost 90 cents a day.

It's not a good job, but it allows him to settle down first and then slowly look for it.

Lin Heng also found a very cheap place to live, costing five yuan a month for a small room of 20 square meters.

The rest is up to him to see if Lin Hai is aggressive enough.

"Here, I'll lend you another ten dollars for emergencies. The rest is up to you." After everything was done, Lin Heng handed Lin Hai another ten dollars and said.

"No, brother, my dad got me twenty yuan, which is enough for me."

Lin Hai stuffed the money back, and he was already very grateful to Lin Heng for fixing his place and the initial work.

"Take it, just give it back to me later." Lin Heng stuffed it into his pocket.

After patting him on the shoulder, the two of them turned around and left, heading to the Seed Terminal in the city.

After asking, I found out that this year's seeds had just arrived. Lin Heng bought 500 bags of corn and 500 bags of grain seeds on the spot.

One kilogram per package, which adds up to one thousand kilograms. Lin Heng's car would definitely not be able to transport it, so he rented another tractor to come over.

In addition to corn and rice seeds, Lin Heng also bought 500 kilograms of urea, 500 kilograms of compound fertilizer, and some vegetable and fruit seeds, but mainly for himself.

I also bought some spices and daily necessities.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon when he returned to the village. Lin Heng unloaded the goods at home, and then went to the village to notify the village party secretary Tian Dongfu.

Tian Dongfu shouted with a loudspeaker, saying that the seeds had arrived, and soon many people came to Lin Heng's door with money.

"Lin Heng, how much does it cost to grow these corn and rice seeds?"

Soon someone came to inquire.

"Corn costs five yuan a bag, and rice costs eight yuan." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"It's so expensive."

"Can it be cheaper?"

"They're all from the same village, so let's give them some discounts."

Hearing the expensive price, everyone talked in a hurry.

"This is really not good. I didn't even make any money from you."

Lin Heng shook his head and reminded, "There is one more thing I want to make clear to everyone. Last year, our corn yield was 1,200 yuan per mu, and the rice yield was 1,000 yuan per mu. We applied fertilizers, that is, urea and ammonium bicarbonate. We did not use fertilizers. It’s not possible to reach this level.”

"How much does a bag of urea cost?" Yang Zhaotao asked curiously.

"Urea 25 per bag, ammonium carbonate 15." Lin Heng smiled.

Everyone gasped and stopped talking. The price was too expensive.

"I'll buy a bag of corn seeds and a bag of rice seeds." Yang Zhaotao took out 13 yuan and walked forward to say.

"I'll buy a bag of each."

...

Buyers came and went one after another. There are more than 300 households in Hongfeng Mountain. In about three days, Lin Heng sold more than 820 bags of two kinds of seeds.

In addition to some people in the village who bought two bags at a time, some rich people from Baima Village and Shimen Village came to buy seeds. Lin Heng's bumper harvest last year still affected many people.

"It's only been a few days. I can't believe it." On the evening of the 14th, Xiulan said in surprise after sorting out the payment for the goods.

Lin Heng smiled and said, "This is the advantage of having a lot of money. When you have money, money can make money."

He didn't have a bad heart when selling seeds this time. He only made 50 cents for a bag of seeds, which was definitely not much. Even if all of them were sold, he would only make 500 yuan.

In fact, it's not that there are no other people who want to do this business. For example, the village head and the village party secretary have been to the city, but the problem is that it costs 6,000 yuan to buy so many bags of seeds, and they don't have the financial resources.

They can only watch Lin Heng make money and give him this opportunity.

"Can I return it if I can't sell it all?" Xiulan asked again.

"Yes, but it will definitely be sold out. There are only 80 bags left and they will be sold out in a few days." Lin Heng said.

When these seeds are sold and the money is deposited, his cash assets will reach 25,000 yuan. Not counting the 400 or 500 change Xiulan has on her.

Xiulan tied the money with a rubber band and asked Lin Heng to put it in the secret compartment in the floor tile under the bed. She was still worried about other places because the amount was a bit too much.

After putting the money away, Xiulan lay down and looked at Lin Heng and asked, "What are you going to do tomorrow morning?"

"The weather is good these two days. Let's fan the sheep tomorrow morning and then roast some sheep eggs to eat." Lin Heng looked at her and whispered.

"Ah, will it be very spicy if it is roasted? Otherwise, let's eat fried ones." Xiulan looked at him with wide eyes. As a rural person, she was not opposed to eating sheep eggs, but she was a little skeptical about the method of roasting them.

"Try it, eating it will help to strengthen your body." Lin Heng smiled.

"You are strong enough." Xiulan poked his chest, which was full of solid muscles.

This made Lin Heng very happy, and he hugged his wife to his arms: "Sleep, sleep, and talk about it tomorrow morning."

The next morning, when the two got up to exercise, the sky was still blue. Although the sun could not be seen, the sun could be seen from the top of the mountain, which meant that today was another beautiful sunny day.

"Let's go to Hongfeng Mountain after breakfast and push our two sons in the stroller." Lin Heng said while exercising.

"Okay." Xiulan agreed.

After exercising in the morning, she made a simple breakfast, then took out some mutton to defrost and prepared the seasoning.

Lin Heng took a few bags of rice and corn seeds and put them in his eldest brother's store. If anyone wants to buy them, he will ask his eldest sister-in-law to help sell them.

His eldest brother also took his two sons and Lin Heng to Hongfeng Mountain. It is natural that a strong helper is needed to fan the sheep.

Xiaoxia brought the little white dog, and Lin Heng and Xiulan each pushed a baby carriage. The carriage was covered with a blanket, fearing that the child would catch a cold.

Thanks to the careful care of the two, the child has not been sick for a month since returning, and has always been healthy.

"Second father, are we going to have barbecue today?"

Lin Tao asked curiously while helping to carry the mutton.

"Yes, I took the iron skewers and iron nets for barbecue to Hongfeng Mountain a long time ago, and there are special delicacies today." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"What is it?" Lin Tao was immediately more curious.

"You will know when the time comes." Lin Heng smiled mysteriously and did not tell his nephew.

"Okay then!" Lin Tao walked forward with his things in his hand without saying anything.

Lin Tao was shy and didn't know how to act like a spoiled child. If it was Xiaoxia, she would have hugged her legs and acted like a spoiled child long ago. However, she was walking happily in front of him with her little white dog and didn't hear anything at all.

Lin Yue asked as he walked, "Brother, how are you training the dogs? Which one did you leave for me?"

"Children are training. Now, apart from the little white dog and the one with green eyes chosen by Dad, all others are fine." Lin Heng nodded.

"Then choose a male one for me from the rest, a smart one." Lin Yue thought for a while and said.

"Okay, I'll bring it to you when I'm almost done with the training." Lin Heng agreed.

They talked and laughed along the way and soon arrived at Hongfeng Mountain. Hearing their voices, Lin's mother ran out to greet them from a distance.

"Hurry up and take the child in. It's still cold and windy outside." Lin's mother took the stroller from Lin Heng and said.

"It's okay. There's a blanket to cover it." Xiulan smiled.

Entering the house, Father Lin was warming himself by the fire. He first looked at his two twin grandsons, and then gave Xiaoxia, Lin Tao and Lin Shan some dried sweet potatoes to eat.

Lin Heng's elder brother Lin Yue has three sons in total. The eldest son Lin Wei is already in school, the second son Lin Tao is one and a half years older than Xiaoxia, and the third son Lin Shan is half a month older than Xiaoxia.

Pouring a glass of water for the two, Father Lin asked: "Do you really want to fan the sheep yourself, without hiring a professional?"

He was afraid that Lin Heng's technique was not good enough and the sheep would have problems.

"Don't worry, Dad, it's no problem." Lin Heng smiled and waved his hand. If it was a sow, it would be difficult, but it was not difficult for a ram or a boar.

"I believe in my brother. He won't ask for help after he does it himself." Lin Yue said.

"So let's do it now?" Lin's father asked. Since both sons said so, he had no objection.

"Wait a minute. I'll go see how the fry are hatching." Lin Heng said and got up to go to the fish egg hatching room.

Lin's father and Lin Yue followed him one after another.

The thermometer in the hatching pool showed that the water temperature was now 6.5 degrees, which was a little higher than before. Because it had been disinfected and the temperature was low, the pool water was very clean.

The earliest batch of fish eggs was nearly 20 days old, and the small fish in the fish eggs could be seen wriggling slightly.

"Yesterday, I connected the oxygen cylinder to slowly send oxygen to the pool water. I was afraid that there was not enough oxygen." Lin's father explained.

Lin Heng shook his head and said, "Oxygen and other things are fine for the time being. I'm afraid that some insects will get in and eat the fish eggs."

"If you're fine, go and fan the sheep!" Lin Yue said, holding his shoulder.

"Let's go back and get the tools." Lin Heng nodded, and he turned the door and bought a knife for fanning sheep and beating pigs.

Take the things and medicine powder, as well as a basin for sheep eggs, and also use the car to bring a large scale up to weigh the cattle and sheep.

These black goats have been bought for almost a year, and they are well fed. They weigh about 70 kilograms.

Putting the things at the door, the three of them walked in wearing rain boots.

The main reason why they didn't let the children come over was that it was too dirty. Even if the breeding place was cleaned frequently, it would not smell good.

As soon as they entered the house, the sheep bleated and stretched their necks to wait for grass.

Further away, the twelve cows also mooed, obviously hungry.

"These sheep seem to be in heat again. This is the second time. They should be able to breed." Father Lin looked at the state of the sheep and said.

These black goats are all one year old. They are sexually mature at six or seven months, but it is not good to breed too early, so the male and female sheep were separated last year.

This year, these sheep are already one year old and can be bred.

"It's indeed OK. We can start after we finish fanning today." Lin Heng nodded.

Then he took another bag of silage and poured it into the feed trough, saying, "But let's feed the grass first."

After feeding the cattle and sheep, they stood in a row while eating, and didn't move much, so it was easy to tell the size.

"This one is the biggest." Soon, Father Lin found the biggest male goat. This guy had a pair of big horns that bent backwards, and his body was a circle larger than the others.

"Catch it out and weigh it first." Lin Heng jumped in and grabbed its horns and pulled it out.

"Baa!!"

This black goat was ferocious, and after being caught, it rushed towards Lin Heng.
