My 1995 Small Farm.

Chapter 770

I won’t say much about what Chen Ling was thinking.

Anyway, the guests who came this time enjoyed the food and had fun.

As for food and drink, there are typical rural banquet dishes, which are delicious and rich in flavor and quite satisfying.

There are also special game dishes, and with bear paws, the eight mountain delicacies are almost complete.

Not to mention the chicken, duck, beef and mutton, which are simply delicious and unforgettable once you have tasted them.

As for the entertainment, it is even more eye-opening.

Winter is the hunting season.

In this age when prey is plentiful, it is common for people in the mountains to go hunting.

In addition to hunting for money, there are also people who are interested in hunting and go into the mountains for fun.

So these guests heard the relevant hunting stories and Chen Ling's heroic deeds.

There is no gentleman among them who is not excited.

How does the saying go? A man remains a boy until he dies.

This is absolutely correct.

When there is something that you are curious about and interested in, there is no need to say much. You can't stop them and they will just do it.

So on the day the banquet ended, regardless of the fact that it was getting dark, a group of men were led by the villagers up the mountain and started hunting the pheasants and rabbits there.

After all, they are inexperienced and dare not provoke big prey, so they are very confident in hunting small prey.

Plus, pheasants are really easy to catch in winter.

When it gets dark, they will gather together naturally without any need for anyone to lure them.

Regardless of gender, they huddle together for warmth and look for food together. There can be more than 20 to 30 of them in the wheat field at one time.

Many people have never seen what a large group of twenty or thirty pheasants looks like.

And the chickens are mainly male pheasants...

In short, bring a gun with you when you go to fight. It's better to bring a rifle. When you shoot, iron sand will spray out with a bang, and it can hit a large area with one hit.

Very enjoyable.

Rabbits are also easy to catch in this season.

It is more difficult to catch a wild rabbit than a pheasant.

It's best to go with the hounds.

If you catch up in this way, the probability of getting something in return will be greater.

Chase rabbits and hunt pheasants.

Especially when taking the dog to chase rabbits, the cheers from friends were so loud.

But I got addicted.

Of course, many friends who have heard of Chen Ling’s deeds are still puzzled and ask Chen Ling why there are so many rabbits here.

Hadn’t they caught six or seven hundred of them before the autumn harvest?

  Can they reproduce so fast?

Besides, if there really were so many rabbits, there would be rabbit holes everywhere.

Chen Ling doesn't even need to answer this question.

The mountain cat's words confused people.

Bobcat said that he now has more than a hundred dogs in the kennel.

Isn't this much less than the number of rabbits?

But in the past two months, the kennel has delivered puppies almost every day.

It’s happening every day.

Not to mention the puppies that were born weak or died, the number is much greater than most people imagine.

His brother and sister-in-law had to hire people to clean the dog farm, otherwise feeding the dogs every day would be more tiring than feeding pigs. They had to take care of their eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, and two or three people simply could not handle it.

If dogs are like this, what about rabbits?

Although rabbits in the wild are not like dogs in kennels, where they gather together and spend their days eating, drinking, fighting, and mating.

But what can't be helped is that this rabbit can still mate vigorously during pregnancy.

In addition, as their numbers increase, the environment is good, they have no worries about food and drink, and their natural enemies become fewer, so they can reproduce endlessly.

This guy just left these foreign friends dumbfounded.

All in all, they had a great time eating, drinking and having fun on this trip.

Besides this, I also saw different customs.

Gained a lot of interesting insights.

For example, the villagers allowed the wild geese to eat the wheat seedlings.

It turned out that it was because this year's winter was relatively warm, and they were afraid that the wheat seedlings would grow too vigorously.

This simply goes against their common sense.

Really...

I can’t figure it out, and I’m also worried about the crops growing well.

After the villagers explained.

I also saw with my own eyes that after a large flock of geese finished eating the wheat seedlings in the morning, the villagers drove farm machinery all over the wheat fields.

Only then did I understand.

It turns out that it is not a good thing that winter wheat grows too vigorously in winter.

This is really surprising.

After understanding the cause and effect and finding out the reason, one will suddenly feel enlightened and his horizons will be broadened.

This is real……

Many farmers may not be able to understand this truth.

Chasing rabbits, hunting pheasants, taking a boat to hunt wild geese on the river, catching waterfowl...

Badger holes have also been found at the foot of the mountain.

In short, these friends from outside had a great time during these days.

When I left, I was still reluctant to leave.

He said that after the Chinese New Year, he would come and play if he had nothing to do during the first month of the lunar year.

Chen Ling naturally welcomed him very happily.

The hundred-day banquet for the two children lasted for three full days.

After the show, I first sent my friends away, and then sent my relatives in Fenglei Town back home, including Wang Zhenzhen, and the families of my eldest and second uncles, who also went home.

Only Zhao Dahai and Shanmao stayed to accompany their parents.

The two families are planning to celebrate the New Year in the village this year.

It was now the twelfth lunar month. They had been busy at their respective jobs for a year, especially Zhao Dahai, who had been running around everywhere and was physically and mentally exhausted. All that was left was to rest and stay in Chenwangzhuang with his parents and children to enjoy a few comfortable days.

Eat, drink, and have fun, do whatever makes you happy.

On the contrary, at this critical juncture, Chen Ling took his wife and three children and went to the city with Liang Yuemin's two families.

Of course, he also has important things to do.

The matter of Wolf Bazi has not been resolved yet.

Professor Feng Yi and Professor Han are still looking forward to starting research.

Of course, that's what it looks like on the surface.

In fact, he just took his wife and children out to play this time.

After Wang Susu gave birth to Kang Kang and Lele, she hardly ever went out.

It may seem like nothing is wrong on the surface, but if you stay at home all the time, taking care of your children, even a person with a good temper will easily become irritable.

In order to prevent the gentle and lovely young wife from turning into a tigress.

Chen Ling felt that he should take them out to play and relax.

Also traveling with them were Wang Cunye and Gao Xiulan. As Chen Ling's father-in-law and mother-in-law, they have been busy enough in the past two years.

Although in the eyes of many people, they have no worries about food and drink with Chen Ling, and they have no shortage of delicious food and drink for three meals a day.

Chen Ling didn't want to keep them at home all the time and let them take care of all the things at home. Now that the children's affairs were taken care of, he had to take them out to play and see the outside world.

……

"It's only been a few years, and he's already rich and powerful. It's hard to tell what this guy is. In the past, people called him a scoundrel, but who dares to say anything now?"

"Yes, look at his friends, they are all rich or powerful. Not only do the rich and powerful not need to curry favor with others, but they also come to curry favor with the rich and powerful."

"Don't say that. People are all different. Don't judge others by their flattery or not. We are just ordinary people. It's already great for us to get some benefits from the rich."

"Yeah……"

The villagers who had gotten up early and were busy working in the wheat fields watched Chen Ling and his family drive away, and then they picked up goose droppings and talked in low voices.

Country people have no real free time throughout the year.

While working, chatting about gossip is one of the few ways for them to comfort themselves.

"I should thank Fugui. Look at the two families of Wang Laochou. They built that shabby house on the hill. They think they are very capable. But compared with Fugui, they are far inferior.

The reason why my third son can get married is all thanks to Fugui making the village rich this year.

Take advantage of others' glory."

"Look how anxious you are. We didn't say anything bad about Fugui... But you mentioned building a house. It's true. I heard from Xiaochao from Ermaolu's family that Fugui is going to build a factory in the city.

They raise deer, cattle and sheep, and say they want to build a big farm and connect them together.

At that time, they will no longer be raised in our village. They say that in the future, apart from farming, our village will be clean and tidy, and we will engage in some kind of tourism. After hearing all this, I don't even know what to call it.

Anyway, this is not important. What Xiaochao said is that if Fugui needs someone for his business, he can find someone in our village to manage the business for him."

"My family has heard about this, but before we could ask, Fugui left. He said that his place was going to be built soon, and he asked Lixian to find someone or someone to do it.

No, I'll go back at noon and ask my husband at home."

"You have to ask. If someone is rich and generous, pays well, and provides food, everyone will be willing to work for him."

……

……

The mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were just talking about it and had no idea that Chen Ling had already started building the factory.

It was indeed entrusted to Wang Lixian.

Wang Lixian, Xiao Mianyang, and Sini'er's man.

These three people are the main force and are in charge.

Wang Lixian used to work in a construction team. He was a skilled worker, had good skills, and knew a lot of people.

It doesn’t matter that there is a labor shortage this year. Chen Ling is willing to pay, and there is little rain and snow in the local winter, which is a suitable season for building houses.

It’s totally fine to gather a group of people.

As for Xiaomianyang, he had been working at the county freight station for a long time and had gotten to know some people. If he asked Sun Yanhong to help him make some contacts, it would not be a problem to find an abandoned site to build a factory.

Si Ni'er's husband just helps the two of them. After the wolf appeared in Yangtougou, Si Ni'er came to Chenwangzhuang to protect her pregnancy.

Apart from that, Zhao Dahai, Shanmao, Han Chuang and others needless to say, they also contributed their efforts.

But Chen Ling didn't say it directly and asked them for help.

At present, we are looking for someone in the village. There are a few experienced people like Chen Ze, Chen Yuqiang and Wang Wenchao, and the rest are just odd jobs.

Handle those miscellaneous tasks, such as pulling bricks, mixing mud, transporting stone slabs, etc.

Building a factory is different from building a house.

Building a factory is much more rough.

At present, it is very simple. Just provide a place to accommodate livestock and poultry, and that's enough.

The living place is also simple, with a small house for night watch.

So there is no need for Chen Ling to stay at home.

Of course, when this matter was handed over to Wang Lixian, Wang Lixian himself was also paid a salary.

Although he himself was determined not to do it, one thing is for sure. When it comes to hiring, it won't be enough without enough people, and there is indeed a lot of work to do inside and outside the house.

If he wasn't paid, Chen Ling would just be a hands-off boss and feel uneasy.

However, the few of them had discussed it during the three days of the banquet.

Several suitable venues have been selected.

That day, I asked the little sheep to find someone to ask.

The process was naturally smooth.

It can be said that Chen Ling himself underestimated his own face.

So the current venue was chosen in the forest farm.

It's just in the southern half.

The southern half is much more desolate than Gedatatai where there is a temple.

Even if there are trees, there are not many.

All kinds of miscellaneous ditches, broken bricks and tiles, and thorny bushes were mixed together in a mess.

So the current work is to first transport bricks and purchase building materials, and at the same time hire people to continuously dig up the trees in the forest farm and clear the site first.

This forest farm currently plays a very small role.

It has nothing to do with what is called returning farmland to forests and protecting green areas in later generations.

In fact, the forest farm was contracted out twice in the past few years, but both times were mainly for building orchards and planting fruit trees.

There are still a lot of fruit trees mixed in there.

There are all kinds of things in it, and it's hard to clean up.

It's also difficult to do it directly with a bulldozer.

We can only use manual labor to clean it up first, and then use excavators and bulldozers to remove the big tree roots and fill the ditches.

This kind of thing is very laborious to do manually.

Chen Ling told them to pay them according to the current market wage and provide them with two meals a day, lunch and dinner.

There should be meat in both meals.

When the villagers called out, many people came.

Men, women, young and old, anyone who had some strength came.

I know that Chen Ling is treated well.

So in Chenwangzhuang, when it came to the twelfth lunar month, after Laba, most of the village was still busy.

Every day, people carry shovels, hoes and other things to the forest farm near the county town to work.

He goes out early and comes back late, basically not being home all day.

It sounds miserable.

In fact, I don’t know how many people in other villages are jealous and envious.

In addition, the poultry and livestock at home cannot be ignored.

It's winter now, and if you let them out, there will be very little food for them to eat.

Let Chen Sangui and his son, together with the village mule and horse broker Lao Ba and Lao Ma Shuazi from Majiaao, these four people are in charge.

After a hundred-day banquet, a lot of sheep were killed. Now the size of the flock has shrunk a lot, otherwise just that flock of sheep would be enough to make people unbearable.

This is also one of the reasons why Chen Ling wanted to set up the farm before the New Year.

There is no other way. The business at home is getting bigger and bigger. Someone has to stay behind to look after the family when I go out. Otherwise, I can’t leave even if I want to take my family out for a trip.

……

The village was busy, so Chen Ling had some free time.

After he arrived in the city, he first sent away the wolf's iron cage.

I followed Liang Yuemin to visit his current factory and new company building.

He took a group of kids, women and old people to the streets to play.

Not only does he eat, drink and have fun, he also buys all kinds of clothes for his wife, father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After buying clothes, he took his family to see movies and visit universities. He took them to all the places his family had not been to.

Traveling with them were Liu Yinhuan and Qin Yueru. The two older sisters helped take care of Kang Kang and Lele, and also ate, drank and played with them. Little Fatty and Little Lizi were on summer vacation, so they played non-stop.

Especially when they heard that Chen Ling was coming to the city this time and would prepare gifts for the children in the audience, they were so excited that even Ruirui, who didn't understand what was going on, started shouting.
