My 1995 Small Farm

 Autumn in the Qinling Mountains is the most suitable for autumn outings.

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the sunshine is warm. Although there are no flowers in bloom in spring, and there is no fragrance of flowers and plants in the wind, the scenery is so gorgeous that it is more moving and beautiful than the colorful flowers in spring.

 In other words, autumn in the Qinling Mountains is the colorful autumn leaves.

The mountains and forests are layered on top of each other, and the autumn leaves in each layer show different colors. Those colors change every other day, and the colors become more obvious as we go into late autumn.

 Some mountains even change three times a day.

It is really like an oil painting that can flow and change.

When Chen Ling and his son returned to the village, they took a detour through the forest farm because they heard someone say at the school gate that someone had seen Prince Turtle in the river appear at night.

 He felt that garlic had appeared a bit frequently recently, so he wanted to go over and see what was going on.

 After turning around in a circle, Garlic didn't come out, so he probably wasn't nearby.

He doesn't mind either.

The blue sky, the picturesque mountains and forests in the distance, and the migratory birds flying in the sky made the father and son feel relaxed and happy.

 The older ones roared folk songs, while the younger ones screamed loudly.

　　The farce in front of the biscuit factory has long been forgotten.

There are not many people coming to the forest farm here. There are always few people. It’s fun for them to make such noises and gallop around.

 He rushed back to the village before noon. When he arrived in his yard, he no longer needed his help with the fire bed.

Chen Xiaoer and the others are here, Zhao Yubao and the others are also there...

On the one hand, they come to help, and on the other hand, they also need a fire pit to spend the winter.

 Let’s help each other.

 But no matter what, if you come to help, you have to take care of the food.

Of course there is no need for Chen Ling to cook today, as the mother-in-law and second sister-in-law and daughter-in-law have already done the cooking.

 Made steamed noodles and egg drop soup.

 You can eat it when you get home.

Today's lunch was early. While eating, Chen Ling pulled Wang Qingzhong and his wife to talk about the spicy tiao machine.

 He has never told these two people about this matter.

 The two of them were surprised and strange when they heard that the spicy strips could be made with a machine.

　　I was a little confused all of a sudden.

 Chen Ling didn't explain much, and simply told them: "The machine for making spicy strips won't be able to make it in a short time, and mass production is definitely not possible, but don't worry, we don't have to think so much now.

I have been to the mountains for a few runs these days, and suddenly I feel that we have been a bit over the top.

Second brother and second sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do at home, you should continue to make it. Even if it doesn't succeed, it doesn't meet my standards, and it's not as delicious as mine, it doesn't matter...

 Once we make it, we will sell it.

 Even if it’s slightly cheaper.

Let’s practice slowly, right? "

The two of them heard what Chen Ling said and thought about it. Wang Qingzhong even slapped his forehead, saying that he was always worried that it would be wasted if it was not done well.

My parents were watching over me, but I was afraid that they would see the nagging and not be able to do it, and I couldn't bear the kindness of my brother-in-law.

 Still thinking too much.

If you think too much and do things too eagerly, you will easily end up in a dead end and be unable to get out.

This person is most afraid of this.

 Chen Ling also went to the mountains a lot recently. She ran around every day and walked her dog with a falcon. Her mood became brighter and she suddenly figured it out.

 It turns out that I am still demanding too much.

Think about the spicy strips you saw in your previous life. When you first started, weren’t they all varied and messy, both delicious and unpleasant?

 There are many types of spicy strips, and they have all evolved step by step.

 Where can I find something that is so delicious when cooked right away?

Wang Qingzhong and the others have just started, how can they ask for too much?

 Besides, the tastes of children nowadays are not as sophisticated as those of later generations. Even if the second uncle and his wife cannot meet their own standards, it is still tastier than most snacks.

 After all, the ingredients are there.

“Let’s do this for now. If there’s nothing else to do, we’ll continue doing it at home. Let’s pick up the simple ones to do.”

 The simple spicy strips Chen Ling mentioned are the kind made with tofu skin, without the gluten.

  Just simply soak the tofu skin and let it rise.

 Pour it into the fried sauce twice. After absorbing the flavor, coat it with a layer of red spicy oil and buy it.

“Okay, okay, this is simple. Your sister-in-law and I have confidence in this.”

Wang Qingzhong was very happy after hearing this and said: "When the pick-up and drop-off time comes, your sister-in-law and I will be able to sell spicy chips."

 “Yes, I can also go for pick-up and drop-off.”

Chen Ling said with a smile: "Well, you can also sell it at the entrance of Xinlingzhong. Our small yard is right there. If it doesn't work, we can make it in the yard over there. We can make it at any time and sell it at any time. It's so convenient."

“Hahaha, that’s right. My parents also said that you can’t even live in this house if you make it so full of homes.”

The more Wang Qingzhong heard about it, the more he felt it was feasible.

Second sister-in-law Guo Xinping also said: "Yes, this house still needs to be popular. Your second brother and I will go around every day and light a fire there."

“You don’t have to go there every day. Latiao is heavy in oil, salt and spicy, and its shelf life is much longer than ordinary snacks. I don’t have to worry if I make more than I can sell out.”

 Chen Ling responded and quickly finished the bowl of steamed noodles, then went to fill a large bowl of egg drop soup, and while drinking, he peeled the quail eggs and ate them.

Now that I am a founder, I cannot be limited.

No one is competing with us, and if it tastes good, we can do whatever we want.

 What's wrong with using bean curd skin to make a fool of yourself?

 Take your time.

 What about spicy strips, spicy slices, and spicy strips? Let’s start the business first.

This business is small and easy to do.

It's better than having my uncle and his wife go through the wind and snow in the mountains to collect grain in the middle of winter.

 In fact, the original spicy strips were made of soy products.

At that time, it was not called spicy strips, it was just dried bean paste or dried tea. It was very popular in the spicy food areas of Hunan and Jiangxi.

 But then, the great flood of 1998 suddenly raised the price of soybeans.

 Doubled.

 When the price was high, soy products could no longer be used, so flour was used instead of gluten, which later became spicy strips.

 …

 In the afternoon of that day, Lao Zhou and the others left one after another. Before leaving, the crew of Journey to the West came to see Chen Ling again and signed a simple agreement.

They fell in love with Erbaldy and the conditions they gave him were relatively generous.

 There are two knowledgeable people, Zhou Weijun, so they will naturally not use any tricks.

 As long as Chen Ling goes to Beigan next spring.

Chen Ling has to go to Bei'an sooner or later because he wants to buy a shop in Bei'an.

 So after leaving today, Chen Ling went to the entrance of the village to simply see him off.

My colleagues sent me two more, Chen Xiaoer and Chen Baoshuan.

Chen Xiaoer went to attack Zhou Weijun.

 Chen Baoshuan, of course it was because Lao Zhou and the bosses made him and Chen Dazhi make money.

 What peace charms, pen holders, bird cages, flower baskets and other things. There are also small ornaments carved with the local scenery of Chenwangzhuang, such as the thousand-year-old giant turtle, the son of the dragon, the crane, the immortal pine...

There are even images of Chen Ling’s little white cow, little green horse, and kite, as well as the wild boar king and sika deer.

If it weren’t for Professor Zhong not selling paintings.

They are probably going to make engravings of the local scenery painted by Old Man Zhong.

Even though they didn’t succeed, Chen Dazhi and Chen Baoshuan made a lot of money.

The main reason is that country people have little experience in the world. They do good work, but they dare not charge too high a price.

Those bosses are all rich, and they think such good things are so cheap, so they get one thing and want to get others.

 In the end, there will definitely be more and more.

 Zhou Weijun also had the same virtue, and made a Chen Ling version of Wu Song fighting the tiger, and also made so many bird cages that they couldn't fit in the car.

“Do you think Uncle Fugui can make money by raising so many sika deer? I see that the price of the sika deer collected by Xiao Fang is not very high, and raising these deer requires a lot of food. In the end, this is not cost-effective.”

“Yeah, in the end it’s better to raise cattle and sheep.”

“Perhaps Uncle Fugui just wants to keep him for fun. Isn’t his little muntjac just for Zhenzhen and Ruirui to play with?”

"That's for sure...but I was thinking, is it easier to catch deer in the mountains now, and it doesn't cost money. If raising deer makes money, my family will catch a few and keep them at home."

 Let them give birth to more children and then sell them for meat. "

In the afternoon, Chen Ling and his second uncle and the others were in the courtyard of the village, having a meal on the fire bed.

At this time, there was a group of young boys coming back from picking wild fruits outside the yard, and they walked over while talking to each other.

“Did you hear that? What about you, Lingzi? I don’t understand why you raise deer.”

Wang Qingzhong used a shovel to dig up the remaining mud and said with a smile.

“No matter what they say, can’t I just keep it and play with it?”

 Chen Ling was speechless.

 Now when these people in the village see what he does, they all think about whether they can make money along the way.

 It cannot be said that this situation is not good.

 As long as they don’t come to him asking questions about anything and it’s not annoying, he doesn’t think it’s a big deal.

Especially when there are young guys in the village who are energetic, willing to make progress, and take the lead in doing something, the atmosphere in the village is quite good.

 Even now that I hear it in my ears and have people guessing about it, I still feel quite speechless.

Guo Xinping interjected: "If you want me to see, Bo Ming, and Er Lengzi, the brother-in-law of Jushengjia, are two practical people. Lingzi, you made money with them, and they are still willing to study with their minds, buy newspapers, read the news, and inquire with their minds. According to outside sources, this is far better than the ones in the village."

"Yeah, Bo Ming won't talk about it. Erluzi's family dug up a lot of good medicinal materials a while ago and sent them over. When I saw that my hands were rotten, I asked him at that time and he didn't say anything.

Later, Brother Jusheng said that this kid also learned to make hot sauce and pickles at home.

　　 Even if I can’t figure it out, I still have to figure out the order of the recipes, which means I know myself and my enemy. "

Chen Ling smiled.

 In short, he feels that he has a pretty good eye on people. Anyway, they are all quite down-to-earth and not a white-eyed wolf.

 This is pretty good.

Mainly because he has no ambitions and has never thought about how big he must be or how much money he can make in any business.

That is, you can bring your relatives and friends to make some money, and then each family can buy two houses or shops and collect rent there.

This will be safe for at least 20 to 30 years, and the profit will not be lost.

 As for himself, he still has the same old plan.

 After having houses and shops guaranteed.

He then worked hard to preserve the good things left by his ancestors, and kept dogs, cows, bees, etc. well.

 The rest is to grow flowers, fruits and vegetables, raise fish, and hunt.

 This is also his fun.

Especially after he discovered the sinkhole, the many plants in it aroused his great interest.

I'm also thinking about crossing it with some papaya and fruits from Dongtian.

 Just like the watermelons that he stayed in Dongtian in the first half of the year and did not move out.

 At that time, you can also plant it in the Tiankeng and cultivate and tinker with it yourself.

There are too few people going there.

 Breed new varieties that are easier to handle when taken out.

“I remember that the flowers, plants and trees grow better in the Miasma Valley. Maybe after I finish going around the sinkhole, I can go there to get some new things.”

 Chen Ling thought about it in his mind.

Professor Han and the others have been too busy this year, and Miasma Valley didn’t figure out the reason before.

This year, we said we would conduct a survey after autumn, but there has been no movement.

 Now I am going to the Yunnan-Guizhou region.

“If they don’t come, I’ll do something myself.”

There was nothing going on in the village, so Wang Qingzhong and his wife happily went back to experiment with the spicy strips.

Chen Ling stayed here, watering the flowers, feeding the birds, and tickling the little white cow. He held his big head and stroked it, rubbed it, and when he was done playing, he leaned against its broad head. Physically, bask in the sun.

Take advantage of the afternoon sunshine, squint your eyes, and read folk ghost stories and legends in local magazines.

 Soon became drowsy.

The little white cow was also lying next to the water tank with its legs curled up, squinting its eyes and taking a nap.

When he was sleeping soundly, he heard a crisp banging sound. Following the sound, Chen Ling opened his eyes and saw that it was a group of sparrows surrounding the crow and cuckoo cages, sneaking in through the gaps in the cages. Things.

This little crow is not as wild as the little cuckoo. Wang Zhenzhen picked up the egg when it was a child. From the time it was hatched to the time it was raised, it rarely left the cage. The sparrows did not respond when they robbed for food, and they had no intention of fighting back.

"Go! Go! Go."

 Chen Ling waved his hand to scare away the sparrows, then took out a slingshot from the cave and hit it casually, and a sparrow fell down.

 “Hey, look at our accuracy, it’s amazing.”

To boast, Chen Ling opened his slingshot continuously and fired randomly. Recently, no one lives in this part of the village at night. These stupid thieves from home don't know how to build a nest. They have probably found a place to stay at home.

So he didn’t know how to dodge at first, and let Chen Ling shoot down several of them. Then they all buzzed and flew away in panic.

 “I haven’t hit the slingshot for a while, and I haven’t stepped back.”

Chen Ling happily picked up these sparrows and threw them into the cave. After picking them up, he ducked in.

 After hunting the birds, feed them to the leopards while they are still fresh.

 Once you enter the cave, it’s an exciting scene.

I saw the leopard with its tail cut off, and the little leopard that had just been let in, confronting a group of jackals.

That leopard with its tail cut off looked so docile in front of Chen Ling, but looked like a coward.

 Now Chen Ling has found a companion for it.

 Still an immature female leopard.

 I suddenly became energetic.

Looking like this now, arrogant, grinning, coupled with the scars on his face, he looks ferocious and scary.

As soon as he saw Chen Ling appear, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He pinched his tail and turned around and ran away, not even caring about his beloved little female leopard.

 “Hey, little tail, why are you so timid again? Don’t run away, come here and eat.”
