After saving the pig god, I counterattacked and became the richest man in the village

Chapter 490 491 Road

On the second day after making the rake, Zhao Dacheng and others came back with mooncakes wrapped in white oil paper with red patterns. Zhao Sicheng was also among them, wearing new clothes.

It's rare for a family to get together.

Zhao Yuanle originally wanted to invite Wu Lin's parents, but he didn't expect Wu Lin's parents to refuse to come.

Wu Linniang looked at Widow Yu and said with a smile: "We will spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her, so we won't go there."

Zhao Yuanle looked at Widow Yu, who nodded with a smile.

"Well, I live with two old people, you can eat well."

Just as Zhao Yuanle was about to open his mouth, the widow Yu said, "I'm sure I won't go there, don't tell me, in fact, I'm more comfortable with two old people."

These days, she has been getting along with the two old people almost day and night, and she couldn't be happier to be able to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the two old people.

Zhao Yuanle expressed his understanding, then went home and brought some food over, and then returned home.

The Zhao family was extremely lively today.

Tang Siwen and He Ju basically talked about the marriage between Zhao Yuankang and Zhao Yuanxi, or about the child in He Ju's stomach.

Yao'er pestered Zhao Dacheng, and told Zhao Dacheng about being a primary school teacher and receiving gifts.

Zhao Dacheng's thought of testing came up again, and he wanted to compare with Yao'er whose memory was better.

Zhao Yuanle and others went over to join in the fun.

Zhao Ercheng and the others also booed from the sidelines.

Zhao Dacheng took out an abacus, and sliding the beads on the abacus, several different arrangements could appear at one time.

Zhao Dacheng: "Come on, let's memorize this and see who can remember more, faster and more accurately."

Yaoer: "Good!"

Zhao Yuanle walked over: "I'll do it."

At this time, Tang Siwen and He Ju also came over.

The competition method is very simple, Zhao Yuanle randomly flips the abacus, intervals, a permutation and combination, Zhao Dacheng and Yao'er just look at it, and then read out the number.

At the beginning, there are three numbers at intervals, and one is produced.

Then to the back, spaced by a number.

Later, it becomes a rush to answer.

In the end, it was Zhao Dacheng who was better, and Yao'er was a little slower.

After victory, Zhao Dacheng smiled and touched Yao'er's head.

"Ginger is still old and spicy."

Yao'er pouted, humming and walked aside.

Tang Siwen gave Zhao Dacheng a direct look.

"You really don't give in to children."

Zhao Dacheng: "The competition is a competition, how can we let it go.

It is because he is a child and his brain has not yet matured, so we have to compare and let him work harder to exercise his brain in the future. "

Zhao Yuanle agreed: "Yes, that's right."

He Ju: "Okay, don't be wrong, hurry up and get ready to eat."

The kitchen quickly became lively.

Today's lunch, chicken, duck, fish and beef.

Braised, boiled, steamed, stewed, stir-fried, all are good.

There are also pastries, pears, and drinks, all of which are also enough.

This meal was lively and warm, and it was a joy to eat.

After lunch, Zhao Sicheng took the lead to clear the table with Zhao Yuankang.

Tang Siwen said with emotion: "In the future, [-]% will not worry about finding a wife."

Who doesn't like such a diligent man?

He Ju nodded: "Yes, at the beginning I just liked Sancheng's diligence."

Tang Siwen: "I like the upright look of the boss when he was young, but now...he's old-fashioned."

The old-fashioned Zhao Dacheng didn't know anything, and now he was listening to Yao'er's so-called fairy tales seriously.

Seeing this, Zhao Yuanle silently closed the door.

She was afraid of being asked by Zhao Dacheng why these stories were told in such a way, blaming her for teaching bad children.

At night, Tang Siwen carried a big dustpan, filled with the newly made rice rakes, put the special small rice rakes received by Yao'er in the middle, and placed them on the moonlit dam.

The family members pray three times to the moon together.

Tang Siwen whispered to pray for the blessing of Moon Bodhisattva.

Zhao Yuanle stood aside, looking at the moon above.

Without cloud cover or light source pollution, she could clearly see the moon's surface.

On the surface of the moon, there are no shadow shapes visible to the naked eye.

Suddenly, Zhao Yuanle recalled the moon in modern times, and she looked at the moon in this world again.

Different…

So, there are two worlds.

The moon in this world does not have the shape of a toad, nor does it look like a jade rabbit.

But now, Zhao Yuanle was not so emotional.

She has already adapted to the life here, and has feelings for the people here, and she has left her career here.

Although she misses her family and friends, she is not in a hurry to go back, but wants to do as much as possible here.

With a crisp snap, Zhao Yuanxi slapped Zhao Yuanlan who was pointing at the moon.

Zhao Yuanlan whimpered at her own hand twice, and said, "I'm just trying."

Zhao Yuanxi: "If you finger the moon, your ears will rot."

Zhao Yuanlan: "I don't believe it, I pointed it out before, so it's fine."

Zhao Yuanxi: "When the Moon Bodhisattva comes out today, your ears will be rotten."

Yao'er at the side heard this, and felt that this was inconsistent with his own cognition, so he quietly pointed at the moon.

He wanted to see if his ears would rot if he pointed at the moon.

After a while, Tang Siwen put away his things and called everyone back.

"Okay, we're all asleep."

Moon Bodhisattva has heard her wish and will make her family healthy.

This Mid-Autumn Festival is over.

On the second day, Yao'er got up and touched her ears, and found that the ears were intact, and she believed that the moon's rotten ears were the feudal superstition that her sister said.

And Zhao Dacheng and others went back to the city after playing in the village for two days.

And Zhao Ercheng's vacation will be over soon. He will go to repair the railway this time, and he will not come back until the Chinese New Year.

In the early morning, the sun did not show his face, and Zhao Sancheng, who had sent away Zhao Dacheng and others, was about to send his second brother away from home again.

Yao'er got up from the bed, rather reluctantly hugged Zhao Ercheng's thigh, raised his head and said, "Father, hurry up and come back after finishing the railway."

Zhao Ercheng was also reluctant, his eyes were full of tenderness.

When he was moved and looked at Zhao Yuanle aside, he heard Zhao Yuanle solemnly say: "Father, remember, if you don't give you a holiday ten days before the Chinese New Year, then you will have to ask for double the money, and if you don't give it, you will be sued. do you know?"

Zhao Ercheng: "..."

The moving words stuck in his throat, so he better not say them.

Here, Zhao Sancheng brought the packed luggage to Zhao Ercheng, and said: "There are rice rakes here, and some bacon and so on. Second brother, don't treat yourself badly over there. You don't need to save money. You can eat something if you want." Just buy and eat."

Zhao Ercheng nodded movedly.

Zhao Yuanle also added: "Father, you left, and I have to deliver the goods myself, and I can't bear you either."

Zhao Ercheng: "...Oh, that's right."

His daughter had better keep quiet.

Finally, turning back three times at a step, and passing the corner, Zhao Ercheng's figure carrying a pile of things disappeared into the misty sky.

On the way home, Zhao Sancheng was worried that Yao'er's feet would get wet, so he carried Yao'er on his back.

A big man suddenly became sentimental at this moment.

He sighed: "This year our family has earned a lot, but the whole family often lives in the same place."

He still prefers the feeling of living together as a family.

When the eldest brother's family went to the county, he was secretly sad for a long time. After so many years, every time he was reunited and separated, he still couldn't bear to part.

Now, the second elder brother has left, and he will not come back until the Chinese New Year. He is so far away, and there is no letter, so he is not feeling well.

Yao'er sighed like a grown-up.

"Yeah, I think people live together as a big family."

Zhao Yuanle was very moved when he saw this one and the two, and couldn't help but said: "It's okay, the railway will be repaired this year, it will be fine, my father will not leave home all the time."

Zhao Sancheng: "In a few years, Yao'er will go to school again."

Zhao Yuanle: "How about we all move to the county?"

Zhao Sancheng: "No, what should I do at home?"

Zhao Yuanle: "Then there is no other way."

Zhao Sancheng: "Well, the county is too far away from us. It takes a long time to walk, and it takes a day to go back and forth. It would be great if it was very close."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhao Yuanle had another thought.

If it is the distance that caused the miss.

Then, speeding up, wouldn't it be possible to shorten the distance in space and shorten the gap in time?

As soon as this idea came out, Zhao Yuanle couldn't help but start to think about the feasibility. After returning home, he took a pen and paper and started to calculate.

If you want to shorten the time from here to the county, then you can only speed up.

Now, there are cars. Even if the cost of cars is too high, we can also have bicycles.

If she remembers correctly, ordinary people walk normally, that is, five or six kilometers per hour, which is about ten miles.

As for a bicycle, even if it is made according to the most common version, it is at least twelve kilometers long, which is twice as fast as a person's walking, and it can be three times faster, and it can also carry objects.

嗏

To ride a bicycle, you need a road. You have to have a good road before you can ride it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuanle had to think of the group of coal diggers there.

How is the coal transported?

With this question in mind, Zhao Yuanle set off for the mountains the next day.

Not surprisingly, she saw the bare belly here, but unexpectedly, she also saw Ming Hongyan.

Zhao Yuanle was carrying things behind his back, and was shocked to see Ming Hongyan suddenly rolling up his sleeves and moving things skillfully there.

She looked at the naked belly next to her, and whispered, "Aren't you going to help him?"

The red belly is expressionless.

"Help, don't let."

Ming Hongyan saw Zhao Yuanle coming. After moving the things there, he went to the other side to wash his hands, straightened his clothes, and walked over.

Ming Hong said, "Come pick coal?"

Zhao Yuanle: "Yes, but I also want to ask something today."

Ming Hong said, "Oh?"

Zhao Yuanle looked at these people, and saw a very conspicuous cableway over there, and asked, "I know that you transport coal down the mountain to test the cableway, and then you can use the river water.

However, there is little water in autumn and the boat cannot be rowed. What should we do then?

And even when there is plenty of rain in summer, it is not easy to transport the coal outside here, you have to pick one by one, right? "

Ming Yan leaned over to listen to Zhao Yuanle's question, and said with a smile, "Of course it's not just manpower, but also cows, horses, carts, and so on."

Zhao Yuanle: "Enough cows and horses? Enough manpower? And the road is not good, so won't the transportation cost be high?"

Listening to Zhao Yuanle's words, Ming Hongyan had a clear look in his eyes.

"What do you want to say."

Zhao Yuanle laughed twice, and said, "I think the road from the mountain to the county can be repaired. After all, I heard that the train station is also close to the county."

Ming Hongyan shook his head lightly.

"If you remember the overall terrain here, you will know that if you want to use the railway to transport coal out, the road to be built must go east from here.

If you go to the county from here, you will go far.

Therefore, on the west side of this place, a railway point has been specially set up.

From here along the river, a track dedicated to transporting coal cars can be simply built, and the track can be used in dry seasons to generate electricity with ready-made coal and send more coal to the railway point over there. "

After listening to Ming Hong's words, the disappointment on Zhao Yuanle's face was very obvious.

She sighed.

"That's right, that's pretty good."

Ming Huiyan glanced at her lightly and laughed.

"Think the road to the county is too bumpy?"

Zhao Yuanle nodded helplessly: "Yeah, the road is too bad, the walking is too slow, it takes a long time to go back and forth every time.

It was okay when I was not busy before, but now I am too busy. If I have to go to the county for something, it will take a long time. If I ask someone to help pass the message or do something, it will be too slow and too troublesome. "

Hearing Zhao Yuanle's words, Ming Hongyan thought for a while and said, "Actually, in every county, it's the county magistrate's job to repair the roads. The money is distributed regularly."

Zhao Yuanle rolled his eyes.

"Forget it, I can't even see the shadow of a road builder."

Ming Hong said: "If you really want to build roads, you usually gather all the villagers together to be responsible for their respective villages, but now most people are either building railways or here.

If you want to ask people to build roads, it is difficult to find people, and you need a lot of money.

I think, based on what you earn so far, it's a bit worse. "

Zhao Yuanle looked at him silently.

Ming Hong said: "Hmm..."

He is not stingy about this kind of benefit to the people, but the problem is that he has no money...

Soon, Zhao Yuanle withdrew his eyes and clenched his fists.

"I must work hard to make money!"

Ming Hong said: "Well, now you can pick your coal."

Zhao Yuanle took his things to pick coal, thinking about making money along the way.

Before that, she always wanted to take the road of raising pigs to get rich.

Now it seems that the income from raising pigs is indeed good, but the cycle is still a bit long.

Although her pigs can be out of the pen in three months, the requirement is that she can't leave too far away for too long.

This limits her freedom to go out to a certain extent.

However, after the brush workshop opened, she found that it is not necessary to only sell pigs to make money.

Her original intention of setting up a brush workshop was to create more jobs in the village, and use the pig hairs to make some money.

During this period of time, she discovered that the money she earned from making brushes was actually not bad.

Her pig hair is basically free, and the cost of making brushes is also low. The bamboo used, one long bamboo can make hundreds of brushes.

The marketing strategy is very successful. Even if the ratio of buyers is not too high, if more people know about it, there will be more buyers, and the products produced will not be piled up.
