Chapter 777 Pathfinder
The stick brought back by Zhang Shaofeng and Lin Yulong is still at Zhang Shaofeng's house.
After leaving Lei Meng's house and returning to Xiushantun, several people went to Zhang Shaofeng's house. Except for Sipinye and the slightly larger lampstand who stayed to take action, Lu Lu took the rest home.
It’s the snowy time of the year again, and the farm is just doing some simple management and maintenance. While it’s not snowing, the wild geese will go out to graze, prepare some forage for deer and sika deer, and buy some pine nuts. Something like that will be reserved for use in the Feilong Breeding Farm next year.
Then there is the matter of making plows and preparing some coal and other things to ensure that the wild geese and deer survive the winter safely.
There is nothing else going on for the time being. The matter of selling mallets was left to Zhang Shaofeng and Liang Kangbo by Lu Lu. One of them was going to the District Armed Forces Department to ask about the situation, and the other was going to the district to buy something. Just something on the way. .
Lu Lu returned home and planted these small sticks.
There are so many big things like sticks and sticks, but there will only be more Erjiazi and Lengtaizi.
Over the past two or three years, his ginseng garden has become more and more pleasant. After a few years, these inconspicuous little things can now be sold by Lun Ke.
After all, these days, there is no concept of forest ginseng.
He spent the whole day carefully planting these things.
Over the next few days, as if for fun, he slowly cut off the withered stalks in the ginseng garden, carefully picked up the withered yellow ginseng leaves that fell on the ground, and took them out of the garden.
Three or five sticks planted together can grow very well without any management. But when there are three to five hundred trees, it's a different story.
When planting becomes intensive, some mildew and spot diseases will develop in the coming year, causing losses.
Lu Lu didn't want to add other miscellaneous pesticides and fertilizers inside. He just used sulfur powder and quicklime to make lime sulfur mixture, and used blue vitriol and quicklime to make Bordeaux mixture. During the rainy season every year, simple protection, disinfection, and prevention were carried out.
These are very common materials and simple to prepare.
It is located in a relatively secluded linden forest, and there are not many bushes and weeds in the garden. Of course, these things should be cleaned simply, including the linden branches and branches, which should also be pruned to ensure light.
Bangchui is a shade-loving plant and needs astigmatism for growth. It is not good for the forest to be too dark and dense.
After finishing the work, he spent another two days inside, renovating and re-arranging protective traps such as ground guns, disc clamps, and mouse traps to protect them.
Nowadays, there are a lot of big items inside, which can make people jealous.
However, with these traps and the dog left at home, Lu Lu had nothing to worry about.
After living in this place for several years, I have become acquainted with the people around me, and few people will easily think about these things.
Even if outsiders come to see it, they just think it is an ordinary garden ginseng without explaining it. In the past two years, the price of garden ginseng has begun to plummet due to large-scale planting, and it is no longer valuable.
This is why Chen Xiuyu still dares to go to the farm when Lu Lu is not at home. Yuanbao protects Caodianzi very well. If the owner is not at home, he will bite anyone who dares to force himself in.
Besides, Lu Lu put a sign on the yard: There is a trap inside, no entry allowed, otherwise, there will be consequences.This sentence is still very intimidating.
The ground guns, plate clamps and other things inside can cause someone to be disabled or killed if they are not careful.
What's more, this is Lu Lu's method, to provoke a hunting tiger and eat too much to fill it up.
While Lu Lu was taking care of the ginseng garden, Chen Xiuyu was playing with her vegetable garden, pulling out the cabbages, washing them by the river, and putting them into a large vat for pickling sauerkraut.
By the way, I also pulled out a lot of radishes from the ground, washed them and put them in the jar with the cabbage for pickling...
Pickling sauerkraut before freezing every November is something that people in the wilderness do.
The method is also very simple. Boil water in a large pot in the kitchen and lightly blanch the washed cabbage. The purpose is to sterilize and make it easier to handle. You can put it in the jar while it is hot or cool it down, but the fermentation will be slower.
When installing the jar, radishes can be stuffed between the cabbages, and the tighter the arrangement, the better.After filling it, press it up with large washed pebbles picked up from the river, cover the cabbage with water, and wait for a month or two to ferment before you can eat it.
Lu Lu also likes this thing very much, especially the fried meat with sour radish. The taste is quite unique.
The little kid also followed Chen Xiuyu to help, holding a big radish, and followed behind. He was so busy that he was very active. Once Chen Xiuyu hugged the radish, he had to hug or drag another one. Two radishes made a trip and were covered in mud.
In the past, Chen Xiuyu was very strict, not allowing her to be touched in this way or moved in that way, for fear of getting her clothes dirty. However, Lu Lu felt that this was good, at least it was very down-to-earth.
A child who cannot play in mud is not a rural child!
On the road, you can often see children in the village crawling into ash nests and playing, making the dust fly.
Lu Lu even led the little guy to play with mud. He kneaded the sticky yellow mud into a ball like dough, pressed it out like a bun, and then threw it heavily to the ground, listening to the bulging air breaking through the mud skin. Voice.
The result of the play was that when making dumplings at home, the naughty little guy used He Chu's noodles as mud and threw them to the ground. This made Chen Xiuyu so angry that she complained to Lu Lu for a long time: "You don't even teach him any decency." Yes, adults can be as naughty as children.
After these few days of rest, Lu Lu's fatigue had long since dissipated. When the next market came, he simply called Chen Xiuyu and led his children to the district market.
Seeing that it was about to snow, he went to the department store and bought two nice-looking cotton clothes for Chen Xiuyu and his children.
Originally, I wanted to buy them a lighter down jacket, but when I thought about the poor quality of these days' down jackets and their rough workmanship, they would become clumps after wearing them for a long time, so I chose a good-looking and practical cotton-padded jacket.
In addition, Lu Lu also bought her some cream, toad oil, soap and other things.
When the things were handed over to Chen Xiuyu, he did not forget to warn: "On weekdays, if you go to the bee farm, do not use creams, soaps and other things with strong fragrances."
Chen Xiuyu, who was as happy as a child after getting something, asked puzzledly: "Why?"
"Bees are sensitive to fragrance. It may be because of the fragrance that it irritates the bees and they may be stung!"
"understood!"
As for children, nothing is more interesting than those delicious candies and novel toys.In just a few years, the district has changed a lot.
The street that used to sell all kinds of fruits, vegetables and farm tools now has many vendors selling electronic watches, plastic shoes, hairpins, clothes, fabrics and other things. The stalls are colorful and lively.
As the family of three walked along the street looking at the crowds of people passing by, Lu Lu suddenly noticed Wu Biao's stall.
This guy was wearing a pair of toad glasses, jeans, and a sweater. He looked arrogant. He was looking at a stall selling clothes and shoes, and he was chatting with the young ladies and young wives who were haggling.
Next to him Zhang Luo was a young girl, also wearing a sweater, jeans, and a woolen hat.
Seeing Lu Lu coming over, Wu Biao pushed his glasses up on his head: "Hey, man, what do you want to buy?"
"I have to buy something as soon as I stop in front of your stall? Can't you take a look?"
"Yes, of course!"
"I see your business is doing well. You've made a lot of money in the past two years, right?"
"Okay, barely make ends meet."
"It's okay for you to coax others, but coaxing me... you will definitely make more money than selling guns."
Wu Biao was startled when he heard Lu Lu mentioning a gun, and quickly waved his hand at Lu Lu: "Don't talk nonsense."
Seeing his nervous look, Lu Lu couldn't help laughing and glanced at the woman next to him: "Married?"
"Just asking for help..."
"This girl looks familiar to me. The one who peeked through the scope?"
Wu Biao became more and more nervous, and he quickly pulled Lu Lu aside: "Brother, you are my brother, please stop talking, okay? It took a lot of effort to persuade me to help. I just made a little progress... those things in the past Don't let her hear about it, it will ruin my good deeds."
"It seems you care about this girl." Lu Lu smiled.
"Of course..." Wu Biao said, took out a box of large front doors, shook out one and handed it to Lu Lu: "Want one?"
"I don't smoke!" Lu Lu shook his head.
Wu Biao lit one and smoked one by himself: "I come to your market often, and I haven't seen you all year round. How about we finally meet and go to a restaurant for a drink together?"
"I spend most of my time in the mountains, and the district chief rarely comes... You went drinking with me, what are you going to do with this stall!"
"No one is watching!"
"Come on you!"
Lu Lu thought for a moment and reached out to touch Wu Biao: "Come on, step aside. I want to tell you something."
Wu Biao was stunned for a moment and hurriedly followed Lu Lu to the street: "What's going on?"
"I went to the capital last year, and I heard from people that some people have started doing business on the train from the capital to Lao Maozi's side. That thing makes money, but there are very few people doing this now..."
From the late 50s until now, the trains from Beijing to Lao Maozi have run in one direction a week, and they have never stopped even during the confrontation.
"What kind of business can that thing do?"
"You don't understand this. There are more than 30 stops along the way, and you stay at each stop for a quarter of an hour. Let me tell you, in just this quarter of an hour, you can do a lot of things. Here with us, you can sell Things that cost more than ten yuan can be sold for several times on those sites."
"Is there such a good thing...is it true?"
"I've heard about it too... I just think it's a good way to make a lot of money. I'll find out if I find a chance to find out."
After Lu Lu finished speaking, he patted Wu Biao on the shoulder: "Don't forget me when you get rich!"
After saying that, he took the child from Chen Xiuyu's arms, called Chen Xiuyu, and continued shopping, leaving Wu Biao, who was full of confusion, staring blankly in the direction the three of them were leaving.
In fact, at this time, Lu Lu knew very well that the relationship with Lao Maozi was only releasing a signal of relaxation, and it was not until [-] that the relationship gradually thawed, and that was when a large number of traitors really spawned.
Even at the beginning, the boss mainly used barter, which was not easy to exchange for notes. Unlike the domestic reform and opening up, Lao Maozi's side was a planned economy.
Of course, this does not hinder some underground channels. The fur drafts from Lao Maozi a few years ago are very illustrative of the problem. Two fur coats caused a big shock.
Lu Lu and Wu Biao mentioned this just to see if they could open up some underground channels. After all, when this guy was selling firearms before, he got a lot of things from Lao Maozi.
In this regard, he has a much better advantage than Lu Lu.
Of course, this is just a test to see if this is possible.
And Lu Lu was thinking about going to the capital. Firstly, the money in his hand could not be left idle because it was constantly depreciating. The most important thing was that he wanted to meet the brothers Deng Qiushi and Deng Yimin.
Deng Qiushi studied abroad at Lao Maozi's place, and Deng Yimin was probably the first to be a traitor. He quietly started a business. It might be a partnership between the brother and sister. He had to find them early to inquire about the situation. After that, he would go to Lao Maozi's place to cause trouble. Unfortunately, some methods still have to be explored, maybe they will be used.
After wandering around the market, he had almost bought everything he needed to buy. Before leaving, he thought about it, bought some pastries and fruits, and headed to the handicraft processing factory.
It took a long time to build the factory, and he only met a group of people once. After such a long time, Raymond would often take time to check on the situation, and he felt that he needed to visit.
