Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

In September, the green shrimps have basically grown up and are actually ready for sale.

But Lin Heng thought they could grow for another half month and was not in a hurry to sell them.

Father Lin took a ground cage, packed some feed, put it into the ground dragon and threw it in. Every ten minutes, he picked it up and there were piles of fresh shrimps, weighing three to four kilograms.

Pick out the big ones, eat the small ones at night, and throw them back into the pond.

Mother Lin didn't have a freezer here, so she only had a few pieces of bacon, and the dinner she made was simple, a sour bean stir-fried with fat meat, and a piece of celery stir-fried with lean meat.

The most popular thing is scrambled eggs with leeks. I made a big bowl with eight eggs and prepared it for my three grandchildren.

During this period, there was also Yanghuo ginger, also known as Yanghe. It tastes strange when cut into shreds and stir-fried, but it is delicious.

There are also other vegetables, and there are quite a few dishes on the table.

Father Lin heated up some rice wine and the four of them drank a little.

Mother Lin and Xiulan peeled shrimps and fed eggs to the three children from time to time. Lin Heng couldn't stop eating the matcha ginger. He felt that the more he ate, the more delicious it became.

It was only eight o'clock after dinner, and the sun was still hanging in the sky. The flaming clouds were layered one after another, as if the sky had drawn colorful ribbons, which were so beautiful that they were a bit ridiculous.

Children were running and playing in the courtyard, and adults were sitting under the eaves to enjoy the cool air.

After chatting for a while, Lin Heng and Xiulan took their children home.

On the way home, I could hear rumblings in the mountains from time to time. During this period, the crops were gradually maturing. Wild boars and muntjacs were coming down from the mountains to cause harm. Many people went up to the mountains with guns to hunt.

This can be considered the hunting season. His eldest brother and uncle have recently gone hunting in the mountains.

He glanced at Xiongba who was following him. He was now a little fatter. Apart from playing with his children, he usually just rested in the sun at home.

"Want to hunt?" Xiulan looked at him and asked.

"I really want to hunt, but don't worry, go after the leaves fall." Lin Heng said with a smile, now is not the best season for hunting.

"Ouch~"

Xiongba ran over and hugged his legs, rubbing them gently, as if he wanted to go into the mountains.

"Wait for a while." Lin Heng rubbed the dog's head.

Xiulan looked at him and said, "If you want to go, you can try it tomorrow. Maybe you will gain something."

"Then I'll get up early tomorrow and go take a look, and ask where there are recent prey tonight." Lin Heng thought for a while and said.

Let Xiulan take the child to play near the ginkgo tree for a while, and he went to find someone to ask about the situation.

However, after searching around, he found that they were all gone hunting, so he had to go home first.

Xiulan was very popular chatting there, and everyone praised the two little twins, finding them extremely cute.

When they got home, they took a shower and enjoyed the cool air in the yard.

Although it is not hot at home, it feels better to see the sky outside.

At half past nine he was ready to go back to his house to sleep. He did some work during the day, and there was no TV or radio entertainment at night. He fell asleep quickly and soundly, often sleeping until dawn.

Boom, boom, boom!

"Brother, open the door."

As soon as he entered the house and closed the door, Lin Heng heard his elder brother's call from outside.

"Did you hit something?" Lin Heng replied and walked over to open the door.

"The harvest tonight was great. I caught three wild geese. Can you believe it?"

Lin Yue showed Lin Heng something like three big geese.

"Damn, you're not bad. You've made a fortune. How did you hit it? Did you find the place where the wild geese rest?" Lin Heng's eyes widened. It was really rare to hit wild geese here.

Lin Yue chuckled: "So I'm lucky, I happened to see the place where a few wild geese rested."

After saying that, he took another one and handed it to Lin Heng and said, "Brother, take this one back and eat it. Stewed and stir-fried, this stuff is very nourishing to the body. The remaining two are enough for me."

"Then I'm not welcome." Lin Heng smiled and took it over without being polite to his elder brother, and then said, "Brother, do you know where there are many rabbits recently? I haven't hunted for a long time, and I want to try it tomorrow morning."

Lin Yue nodded quickly: "I know, the soybean field on Daliang has been badly damaged by rabbits recently. If you want to go there, let's get up at five o'clock and fight there."

"Okay." Lin Heng nodded with a smile.

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Lin Heng carried the wild goose back to the house. He did not invite his eldest brother to come and sit down. He just said that if he couldn't finish eating, he could come and freeze it in the freezer.

"Xiulan, boil water to kill the geese." Lin Heng said with a smile as he carried the geese back to the house.

"Such a big one, like a big hen." Xiulan said in shock, and quickly went to get the electric kettle and glue bucket.

"That's for sure. This is almost the biggest bird we can shoot." Lin Heng said with a smile.

Pour boiling water into the bucket, he scalded the goose in two strokes, plucked out the feathers and then disembowelled the goose. He often killed chickens and he did it very quickly, finishing it in about ten minutes.

The internal organs were not thrown away, but all were processed. He thought they were quite delicious.

Part of it was reserved for his parents to eat at noon tomorrow, and the rest he froze in the freezer.

After finishing, he quickly put the child to sleep and went to bed early.

Early the next morning, he woke up before dawn, looked at his watch and quickly got up to get ready.

Just get a bow bag and take Xiong Ba with you.

When we came out, it was already bright. Lin Yue saw him and said quickly: "We have to walk fast. There are many rabbits at dawn."

He carried the shotgun and the hunting dog Good Luck, Xiong Ba's son.

Good Luck has grown up now and has decent abilities, so Lin Yue always takes him with him when he goes hunting.

The dew was heavy in the morning, so both of them wore rain pants in advance. Water shoes make a lot of noise when walking, which is not suitable for hunting.

It was just dawn when they reached the soybean field on the beam. Lin Heng was looking around, and Xiongba suddenly rushed out without a sound.

When it got close to the soybean field, it called a gray rabbit to run into the woods.

But Xiongba was too fast, and before the other party entered the woods, he bit it.

"Yingying!"

Then it ran back with the big rabbit in its hands, showing off its achievements to Lin Heng.

"Very good, but you have to listen to orders next time!" Lin Heng touched the dog's head and lifted the rabbit up. The rabbit was not small and weighed six or seven pounds.

He actually wanted to open the bow and arrow, but Xiongba took it down directly.

"Xiongba is still as powerful as ever." Lin Yue looked at Xiongba and exclaimed.

Good luck is already good, but it is still far behind Xiongba. Just now, the rabbit was so lucky that it didn't even notice that Xiongba had already made a move.

"It's my luck to meet Xiongba." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"Then, let's separate in a while, I'll go over there to take a look." Lin Yue pointed in a direction.

"Okay."    Lin Heng nodded and agreed, and took Xiongba to the other side.

Although there were signs of rabbits stealing food as they walked forward, no rabbits were seen.

Time passed quickly, and the sun came out in a blink of an eye. The top of the mountain was the first to be illuminated by the sun, and the water vapor was dissipating rapidly. Lin Heng felt hopeless.

"It seems that the bow and arrow test will have to be tested next time." Lin Heng sighed.

He was about to go down, and suddenly there was a rumble from his elder brother's side.

After a while, Lin Yue came over with a rabbit and smiled: "It seems that I have good luck tonight. I also killed one."

"It's okay." Lin Heng nodded, although he didn't catch the second one.

On the way back, Lin Yue asked again: "You are going to Ancheng tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, take some of the antiques we got, and take some of the goods." Lin Heng nodded.

"Okay, I understand." Lin Yue agreed.

Back home, Lin Heng handed the rabbit to Xiulan and said: "This morning's harvest, Xiongba caught it."

"Awesome, you get a harvest as soon as you make a move." Xiulan said, she thought Lin Heng would be empty-handed.

"Wait until the leaves fall and I'll go get a big one." Lin Heng sat down and drank a sip of milk tea and said, then started to eat breakfast.

The children looked around the rabbit curiously, because they didn't dare to move because of Xiulan's warning.

Lin Heng had breakfast and was about to kill the rabbit. Xiulan asked while helping him: "Are you going to eat rabbit or wild goose for lunch?"

"Eat both, call mom and dad over." Lin Heng said.

After the rabbit was killed, he simply cleaned the internal organs, and then boiled them and the rabbit head in a small pot and fed them to Xiongba.

They ate rabbit meat. At noon, Xiulan fried some rabbit meat, and then stewed a mushroom goose in a casserole, adding some angelica, codonopsis and red dates.

The simple stew was also extremely delicious. Lin's father and mother liked it. Xiaoxia Luming and others drank a lot of soup.

"No wonder people say goose meat is delicious. Every time you eat it, you will miss it for half a month." Lin's mother said after eating.

"Rabbit meat is just average, not as delicious as our pork." Lin's father laughed. He dared to say this because he ate too much meat.

"It's not delicious. It's a bit dry. It tastes better when it's braised." Xiulan nodded and said that if one rabbit was not too little, she would really prepare to braise it.

"I think it's okay. I'll catch a few more and braise them later." Lin Heng said.

After dinner, Lin Heng drove a sidecar to take some antiques to Hongfeng Mountain in the afternoon, and packed them with straw and loaded them on the truck here.

It was too ostentatious to drive the delivery truck directly to the door to load the goods. He didn't want to be so prominent.

After packing the antiques, Lin Heng packed up briefly and went to the town to get the double-barreled shotgun he ordered.

He planned to put this thing in the car. It was not safe in this era, and some powerful weapons were needed for self-defense.

If he encountered prey, he could also shoot it.

As a hunter, it was reasonable for him to carry a shotgun with him.

This time, he only asked his eldest brother to go to Ancheng, but not Lin Hai, who just missed it because he went into the mountains.

This time he didn't drive a sidecar, but he had to sit on it because he was carsick.

Fortunately, the formaldehyde smell has dissipated a lot now, and their carsickness is not as serious as the first time.

Lin Heng pulled some fruits from Taibai City to Ancheng, and sold them here after arriving. He could earn more than 100 yuan, and he could earn more if he sold them himself.

The car stopped in Ancheng, and Lin Heng went to find someone to confirm the antiques.

This era was very chaotic, and the antique trade was also popular. He divided his things into batches and asked someone to identify them.

Finally, he selectively sold some of the genuine goods, and sold them for a total of 56,200 yuan.

For him, this was considered a sudden wealth overnight. He had saved this for four years and only had more than 40,000 yuan. If he didn't sell the cattle, sheep and Chinese medicinal materials, he wouldn't have that much money.

Of course, he could actually sell it for more money. The Ru kiln pieces he collected from the village were all genuine, and he hid them and didn't choose to sell them for the time being.

For now, this money is enough, and if there is any major change, he can sell it at any time.

"Brother, you really made a lot of money this time, and this money came too easily." Lin Yue sighed in the car.

He followed Lin Heng the whole time, and he didn't expect that he would make so much money. It's only been a short time. He had wasted nearly 50,000 yuan before, but he made it back so quickly.

Lin Heng smiled and said, "Brother, if you want to do it, you can also collect some antiques. Maybe you will get a real one, which is worth a lot of money."

In fact, collecting antiques is a small thing. There are still many tomb robbers in this era. That's how to make a lot of money. It can be said that the way to make money is written into the constitution.

He doesn't have the technology in this area, and he doesn't want to do anything illegal. It's enough to make a little money by collecting antiques.

"Then I'll go back and try it. When the time comes, you can help me take a look." Lin Yue said with a smile. He was really tempted. This antique is too valuable.

He planned to put away his bloodstone when he returned. He didn't care about it before, but now it seems that it may be the most valuable thing in his family.

Thinking of the bloodstone, he turned to look at his younger brother Lin Heng and said, "Brother, do you think we can get bloodstone if we go back to that place?"

Lin Heng glanced at his elder brother, smiled and shook his head: "The hope is slim. There is a lot of underground water in that place. Once the water rises, the stone will be washed away or buried."

They were lucky to pick up the bloodstone at the beginning. It would be difficult to try their luck again.

"Okay, it seems that we can only collect antiques." Lin Yue nodded.

Lin Heng looked at the sky and said, "It's still early today. Let's go to the Red Star Machinery Factory to talk and decide on the machine."

He still didn't want to hold the money in his hands and wanted to exchange it for means of production as soon as possible.

"Okay." Lin Yue nodded.

Lin Heng immediately drove Dongfeng 140 to the Red Star Machinery Factory.

"What do you want to buy?" The receptionist asked with a smile.

"Buy a large feed processing machine, the kind that can handle a production line." Lin Heng replied.

What was surprising was that this receptionist was the one who received him at the beginning, but it was obvious that the other party had forgotten him long ago.

"Large machines? Come with me." Upon hearing Lin Heng's words, the receptionist immediately became excited. Those large machines are not cheap.

Lin Heng walked over and took a look. After the demonstration and introduction, he nodded and said, "Not bad, I'll buy it. Let's talk about the specific contract."

Of course, he didn't just look at this one, but after looking around, he still felt that this one had the best cost performance.

The receptionist was also a little shocked. He quickly invited Lin Heng over and called the director over.

Lin Heng drank a sip of tea and waited for the director to come over. They talked a lot about price and transportation, and finally both parties were quite satisfied.

Most things in this era cannot be bargained, but this kind of expensive machinery that is biased towards civilian use can still be bargained. Such a large order, each one is hard-won.

After signing the contract, Lin Heng paid half of the deposit, and the machinery factory shipped all the machines to him within a month. (End of this chapter)
