Chapter 633: Development outside the province [Second update]
The villagers who were enjoying the shade under the big trees had never seen such a big truck entering the village. They were even more curious when they saw the big truck parked in front of Zhen Shuai's house. Does his family still know such a person?
Someone called Zhen Xiang, who was chatting with others with Zhen Cheng, "Zhen Xiang, you have a visitor!" "No way?
" Zhen Xiang came over with Zhen Cheng in her arms, a little confused. The sun was about to set, so relatives would not choose to visit at this time.
"Look at that car, it's parked in front of your house."
"Shuai Shuai, are there guests at home?"
Zhen Shuai was putting tea, melon seeds, peanuts and candies on the table, "Sister, this is a friend I know. , surnamed Huang, you can call me Uncle Huang. Third uncle, this is my eldest sister."
Zhen Xiang said hello in a somewhat reserved manner, "Hello. Shuai Shuai, Uncle Huang hasn't eaten yet? How about I come and cook? ?"
Zhen Cheng couldn't see food in his eyes and struggled to get out of her arms, "Sister, sugar, sugar..."
Zhen Xiang's face suddenly turned red, and she tightened her arms around him.
"Hello, hello, excuse me." Huang San's expression was a little strange. When guests came to the house, he would normally ask the adults at home to come back to entertain him. He put his uneasiness in his heart for the time being and quickly grabbed a handful of candies for Zhen Cheng.
Zhen Shuai said: "Sister, please take Zhen Cheng to play. I will entertain the guests well." "Okay, you
must not be rude when you have distinguished guests. Uncle Huang, please sit down slowly." After all, he is a strange man, Zhen Xiang Feeling uncomfortable, he quickly hugged Zhen Cheng and went out again.
Zhen Shuai saw Huang San's doubts and smiled lightly, "My father left two years ago, and my mother also ran away some time ago. There are only five brothers and sisters left in the family. Those were my eldest sister and little brother just now, and there are two more The two sisters are twins, and those two who set up the stall are."
Huang San was shocked, "Little brother, I really didn't expect this!" Only a few children can live such a prosperous life, it's not easy when you think about it. .
Zhen Shuai set up Shen Xingdu's table and chairs, "Third uncle, you can eat some peanuts and melon seeds. Your meal will be ready soon."
Shen Xingdu nodded slightly to Huang San and lowered his head to read seriously.
Huang San was surprised to see that he didn't look like he was just pretending. He followed Zhen Shuai into the kitchen, "I thought this child was from your family too." Zhen Shuai laughed, "It's from mine, but it's not from our family either
. His name is Dudu, he talks little and likes reading, so don’t mind."
He was still a little kid, how could Huang San care about it.
"You can still calm down at such a young age, and I think it will be extraordinary in the future." Huang San didn't hear the strangeness in Zhen Shuai's words, and sat down in front of the stove to help light the fire.
Zhen Shuai smiled but didn't answer, "I don't know where you are from, Uncle San?"
Since he came to someone else's house, he really interacted with them. Huang San said in detail, "My home is quite far away from here. It takes three days and three nights to drive to Taohua Lane, Lanhua Town, Zhou City, Shanxi Province. The scenery there is pretty good in spring, and I will definitely go home to play if I have the chance. I started driving a truck when I was eighteen years old, and now I have nearly twenty I have three children at home. The eldest girl has just gotten married, the eldest son is fifteen, and the younger son is only ten years old. The younger son is okay and well behaved; the older son, oh, is so rebellious. Sometimes I wish he was not my son. I can't even compare with you. I really get angry just thinking about it!" "
You are the same age as me. It is normal for children of such an age to be naughty. What are you comparing me to?" Zhen Shuai changed the subject, "Then you I can be considered a city dweller. The city is better. Going to school, working, and shopping are more convenient than in the countryside."
Huang San shook his head, "It's not as good as you think, but I envy you. If I don't talk about anything else, let's talk about the house. Look at your home. , so spacious that it can accommodate even a dozen people. Unlike in the city, where you can be allocated a house of 40 square meters, you can wake up from your dreams at night. But what is the use of a 40-square-meter house? If the population is small, it will be fine. If there are too many, the old and the young are all crowded together, where can we live?" The envy in his eyes was real, but he was just envious of the big houses in the countryside. If he was asked to live in the countryside, he would definitely not be happy.
Zhen Shuai pretended to be innocent and said: "Then your two sons will have to buy houses for both of them in the future? The pressure is not small." "Yes!" Huang San sighed, "That's why I work early and late, thinking that I can be there in the future
. I bought a house for my two children in the city so that they would not have to live in such a miserable life like our generation. But are the houses in the city easy to buy? They are scary expensive. I am the only one working at home, so the pressure is indeed not small. I also I can only complain to you, but how dare I talk to my family? If I say it, it will only make them worry, which is useless."
"Auntie is not at work?" Zhen Shuai asked.
"There are not so many job opportunities in the town. In addition to taking care of the family, she occasionally does odd jobs." Huang San watched Zhen Shuai brushing seasonings on the fried skewers, a little absent-mindedly. What a delicious smell! If he hadn't been afraid of embarrassment and tried his best to control it, his saliva would have drooled down.
Zhen Shuai curled his lips and said, "What if there is a chance now?" The
audience called them innocent. They thought that the host just invited a friend who they liked to play at home, and then casually chatted about family issues. It turned out that every question was It is to lead to the next question, and the ultimate goal will begin to emerge.
Before Huang San could react,
he asked, "What chance?" Zhen Shuai said nothing, "Eat first. I'll make some soup and a bowl of noodles before dinner starts."
Waiting for a large plate of fried skewers, a bowl of seaweed egg soup and a bowl of The cold noodles were served on the table, and smelling the tangy aroma, Huang San completely forgot about the question he just asked. Let’s wait until he has eaten to talk about big things.
There was still half a bottle of Erguotou at home, so Zhen Shuai poured him a glass.
"Uncle Third, please. Our family has dinner early. Dudu and I have already eaten. You're welcome." "It's so
delicious! I'm so rude!" Huang San couldn't wait to pick up his chopsticks.
Zhen Shuai made a "please" gesture, picked up a bunch of chicken steaks and asked Shen Xingdu, "Brother Dudu, do you want to eat?" When he came over,
Zhen Shuai picked him up and put him on his lap.
In fact, Shen Xingdu was not hungry, he just wanted to stay with Zhen Shuai.
"Smells!" Huang San's eyes have been wide-open since he started eating. "I have been traveling all over the country for 20 years, and I have eaten special foods from all over the world. Ramen and Roujiamo in the north... rice rolls and soup dumplings in the south. ...But this is the first time I have eaten such fragrant fried skewers. Is the key problem the seasoning?" "
Yes." Zhen Shuai said, "This is my special barbecue powder, an exclusive secret recipe, one of a kind. Does Third Uncle have it? Interested in cooperation?"
Huang San vaguely guessed something, "How to cooperate?"
Shen Xingdu slipped off Zhen Shuai's lap and went to his and Zhen Shuai's room to get the contract.
Huang San looked at the two big words "Contract" on the cover, then looked at the food on the table, and continued to eat decisively, "I'd better eat first, otherwise I won't be able to read it." Zhen Shuai laughed, "I won't let you now
. Look, I'm afraid you'll get oil on it."
Huang San devoured all the vegetables and noodles, then slumped on the chair with his limbs spread out, not wanting to move. "I'm full."
Zhen Shuai poured him a cup of hot water. Tea, leisurely shaking the big cattail fan, and reading his "Space Physics" with Shen Xingdu.
After resting for a while, Huang San felt that he had recovered.
"Let me take a look at the contract."
Zhen Shuai pointed to Shen Xingdu's desk and motioned for him to take it himself.
Huang San rubbed his hands on his pants, opened the contract, and read it carefully.
After waiting for a while, he guessed that he had finished reading, and Zhen Shuai said: "That's roughly it. Of course, some details have to be changed. For example, I only authorize two families in our town. But you are from another province, so you don't have to abide by this rule. "
"This business is going well!" Huang San was a little excited. "Your aunt is free at home. She will definitely be happy to have something to do. And she is directly her own boss. When working outside, she sometimes has to look at other people's faces. I helped you at that time It's so easy. I didn't expect that I would find a noble person for myself!"
"You are serious!" Zhen Shuai raised his hand and pressed it down, and said humbly, "You are a good karma and a good result." "Yes
. !" Huang San took a breath, his eyes twinkling, "This business can be done, and I can make the decision myself. I can sign the contract now." "Why is it so urgent?" Zhen Shuai smiled, "You'd better go back
. Discuss it with your aunt, and don’t quarrel with her over this matter. I don’t know anyone else in Lanhua Town, so this opportunity will definitely be reserved for you. When you really decide, bring your household registration book or ID card. Come here and sign the contract."
Huang San pointed at him with a smile, "You have too much mind!" He knew that Zhen Shuai was worried about him talking while drinking. However, what Zhen Shuai said makes sense. It doesn't hurt to think about this matter for a few more days, and don't rush it.
Zhen Shuai refused to admit it, "As the saying goes, "Everything will be happy when a family is in harmony." I'm doing it for your own good, but you still don't appreciate it! You are not kind." Huang San laughed, and did not argue with him, and talked about other things
. Gossip, such as what you saw and heard along the way, the differences in diet and climate between the north and the south. Zhen Shuai also told him some local news...
Huang San stayed at home that night.
Zhen Xiang, Zhen Guo and Zhen Duo went to a friend's house in the village where they had a good time and spent the night with them.
The next day, Huang San had breakfast at Zhen's house before leaving. Before leaving, he left behind a lot of things, including fashionable backpacks, beautiful hairpins, specialty foods, brand-new books... They were all things he saw along the way and thought they were good. I bought it for my family, and it is also very practical to give to the children of the Zhen family.
This time the goods still had to be delivered to the customer. He made an appointment with Zhen Shuai, and he would definitely come again in half a month at most.
Zhen Shuai is not in a hurry and lives his life step by step.
The market in the city was bigger than that in the county, so he made the right decision to give up. Once the reputation of their barbecue truck and Qin's shop in the county spreads, people with a keen sense of smell will come looking for them.
It's not that he can't find a way out on his own. On the one hand, it's a lot of trouble, and on the other hand, he's still a child. If he takes the initiative to show up, people will probably think of him as a liar. It's better to sit on the Diaoyutai and just waste more time. He has plenty of time.
Chapter 634 The crisis of the anchor [first update]
Shen Xingdu has been watching Zhen Shuai silently. Shuai Shuai probably didn't even realize that his mentality in the mission world was becoming more and more stable. Although what he needs for cultivation now is faith value, whether his mentality is stable enough does not seem to matter much. However, Shen Xingdu always believes that cultivation is not only about strength, but also about the state of mind.
Zhen Shuai didn't know that Shen Xingdu had thought so much, his steps were brisk, his expression was high, and he was humming a tune that belonged to this era. Anyway, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave this world within three to five years, so just relax.
The two of them were on their way to the back mountain, wearing exactly the same long sleeves and trousers with different sizes. The shoes were shallow sneakers, but the socks were long socks with white soles and black stripes. The trousers were tucked into the socks to prevent mosquitoes. Bites.
On normal days, the mountains are not only very hot and muggy, but also full of mosquitoes. But today is cloudy, the sun has not come out, and it is cooler outside, which is very suitable for going up the mountain. So Commander Zhen wanted to take Shen Xingdu up the mountain with him. I saw him holding a small and exquisite net with a pole in one hand, and a straight wooden stick in the other hand, ready to alert the snake; Shen Xingdu only carried a kettle on his shoulder, and then held a washing machine bigger than his head in both hands. Got a clean empty glass jar. This is a candy jar from the canteen.
Marshmallow and Ling'er were also there. They were very comfortable, running in the wind, back and forth, very happy.
Seeing a beautiful butterfly flying by, Zhen Shuai chased it for a few steps, shouted as if he was making a power move, waved the net in his hand handsomely, and accurately caught the butterfly in the net.
"Brother Dudu, look, I caught a very beautiful butterfly. Open the lid and I'll put it on for you. But let it go after playing for a while." Shen Xingdu said quietly: "I never said I wanted
to Playing with butterflies."
The audience followed the anchor to enjoy the scenery along the way. They were very happy. When they heard the conversation between the two, they all despised the anchor. It was obviously the anchor who wanted to play, but he still unfairly accused Brother Shen. Brother Shen is really miserable.
"Ouch - don't be embarrassed to admit it! As I said, you should have what other children have!"
The host actually acted coquettishly against a child who was much younger than him, which made the audience even more contemptuous.
"Look, other children can only use spider webs to catch butterflies. I made this little net bag specially for you." Zhen Shuai admired the net and was very satisfied with his craftsmanship.
Recently, catching butterflies and dragonflies has become popular in the village.
Some smart children made a ring out of soft wicker, and then tied the ring to a long stick. After finding the spider web, they pushed the ring against the spider web, and the spider web stuck to the ring. , becomes a natural catching net, which can easily catch butterflies and dragonflies.
Zhen Shuai felt that this simple fishing net was not worthy of Brother Dudu's temperament, so he made one for him. The ring is made of iron wire and is pinched into a round shape. The net surface is cut from an old fishing net. The bamboo pole is carefully selected to be the straightest, and he has carefully smoothed the knots on it.
Many children in the village have seen it, and they are very envious. Zhen Shuai likes to see other people's envious expressions on Xiao Dudu.
Shen Xingdu silently handed the glass jar to Zhen Shuai.
Zhen Shuai looked at him with a look that said, "Look, your mouth is dishonest but your body is honest." He carefully put the butterfly in, smiling happily.
The audience raised their eyebrows. Anchor, anchor, are you playing with Brother Shen, or is Brother Shen playing with you?
Shen Xingdu looked at the pink butterfly flapping its wings in the glass jar, and pursed his tender lips, raising a slight arc. Well, in fact, he likes it as long as it is given to him by Shuaishuai.
The lid of the glass jar has a few holes punched in it, so you don’t have to worry about the butterfly being suffocated for a while.
Zhen Shuai was in high spirits and caught two more dragonflies.
"There are a lot of dragonflies today. It looks like it's going to rain in the next two days." Zhen Shuai said.
Shen Xingdu looked at the sky and said, "It shouldn't happen today."
"I hope so." Zhen Shuai watched several villagers in the distance walking towards the mountain, including children in their teens. He was a little puzzled. How many people go up the mountain?
The two groups met at the foot of the mountain.
Zhen Shuai greeted them politely.
"Uncles and uncles go hunting in the mountains?"
A villager replied: "Yes, I have always seen you carrying pheasants and hares down from the mountains before. We also want to try it so that we can have some meat in the house."
Next to him The villager said: "Zhenshuai, you may not know where there are many pheasants and rabbits on the mountain. Can you give me some pointers? Anyway, this mountain is not yours. If we catch two more, it won't be a loss to you. Hahaha..."
He laughed out loud as if he thought he was being humorous, but he didn't realize how sour his tone was.
Another one couldn't stand listening and said hurriedly: "You also said that this mountain does not belong to Zhen Shuai's family. How can he know where there are many pheasants and rabbits? You can catch them yourself." The villager smiled and stood on the
grass Rubbing the soles of his shoes that were not stained with mud, he just looked at Zhen Shuai.
"Every day you can catch several pheasants and rabbits from the mountains and supply them to your fried skewers stall. The vegetables used in the fried skewers stall are from the vegetable garden. This means that your stall does not cost much at all. You can make whatever you make every day. Net profit. You should have made a lot by today, right? We are from the same village, why don't you just reveal it to us? We promise not to tell anyone." As soon as these words came out, no one else spoke
. If you think about it carefully, it's true. At this moment, two more villagers had red eyes.
The atmosphere was a bit stagnant.
In the live broadcast room, the audience also became a little nervous, wondering how the anchor would respond. Anchors must not underestimate the jealousy of others. It may be difficult for people to do something well, but it is easy to do something bad.
Zhen Shuai also became cautious. To be honest, he had thought that this day would come. When you and everyone else eat bran-thick vegetables, no one will give you a second glance. But when others still eat bran-thick vegetables, and you start lavishing fish and meat, it is impossible for others not to mind. However, he didn't expect this day to come so quickly. It has been less than a month since he started setting up his stall.
This problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise, if someone does harm to his family, and if many people do harm at the same time, even if he has great ability, he will be exhausted to deal with it.
He stopped and the smile on his face faded a little. "It's just a small business. It would be good if I can pay off the debts owed by my family." The expressions of several villagers softened slightly
. Everyone in the village knew that Zhen Shuai's family owed Ma Xiaolian's family 500 yuan. This amount is indeed a huge sum of money.
"In a month or two, the money should be repaid."
This was still a test.
Zhen Shuai smiled and did not intend to go forward. He sat down on the spot and said slowly: "If you are poor, you want to change."
Several villagers looked at each other and sat down.
The children who followed them just wanted to go up the mountain as soon as possible, so they made a fuss and dragged them, but they yelled at them.
"Go to one side to play first!"
Several children did not dare to say anything, so they could only go to one side to "play with flowers."
"Zhen Shuai, what exactly do you mean by what you just said?" A villager asked eagerly. He could understand the general idea from the words, but he was afraid that he had misunderstood.
Several other villagers also looked at Zhen Shuai expectantly. In their eyes, Zhen Shuai is no longer an ordinary fifteen-year-old child, but a capable child. What he said must make sense to them.
"Yes, Zhen Shuai, please tell us carefully. You see how poor the village is. We don't say it is for ourselves, even if it is for the children, we also want to make more money so that the children can If I study for a few more years, I will be as capable as you in the future. You are one of the most powerful people in our village now!" The villager who made the sarcastic remarks also said: "Yes, we all want to live a good life
. Point. Can you not feel uncomfortable when you think that all of us adults are not as good as you, a child?"
The words of both of them were compliments both inside and outside. It was awkward, but it was touching.
Zhen Shuai smiled slightly to show that he didn't mind, "I just said, "When you are poor, you want to change." It means that since your life is poor and difficult, you must find ways to change the status quo..." Several villagers nodded
. That's what happened. The problem is that they don't know how to change.
"Uncles and uncles are in the mountains, so they cannot see the whole mountain..."
Several villagers also understand this. People are so small. Standing in the mountains, of course, they cannot see what the whole mountain looks like.
Zhen Shuai pointed at the mountains behind him, "Didn't you just say that there are many pheasants and rabbits on the mountains? Have you never thought about raising chickens and rabbits on a large scale? If you can grow the feed that chickens and rabbits need, you can grow it yourself at home. , what cannot be planted, there are abundant resources in the mountains, you can find them from the mountains. It just costs some manpower." "
Hiss--"
Several villagers looked at each other, really! How come they never thought of such a simple truth before? Let’s not talk about chickens, let’s talk about rabbits. Most country people know that rabbits reproduce quickly. Once they are grown on a large scale, they will definitely make a lot of money.
Before Zhen Shuai finished speaking, "There are also fish. There are many ponds in our village. If we raise more fish and take good care of them, the harvest will be quite large in a year. There are also pigs. Who doesn't raise pigs nowadays? Pigs. It is the best to raise. As long as it is fed and drank enough, the meat will grow. Now it is not like before, and it cannot be bought and sold casually. As long as it is raised, whether it is sent to the county or the city, there are many people who want it. . No one can have enough of meat."
The eyes of several people only lit up when they heard this. It's a good thing they came to ask Zhen Shuai, otherwise, how could they have come up with so many ideas?
Several people couldn't sit still at the moment. They understood what they were going to do, but they had to think about the specific details quickly. They had no intention of going up the mountain, so they thanked Zhen Shuai, grabbed their children and hurried home. They don't understand the truth, but they understand that to be fast, as long as you are one step slower than others, you may be slower than others step by step.
Zhen Shuai sighed and looked at Shen Xingdu aggrievedly, "Brother Dudu, we can't go up the mountain today." Shen Xingdu hugged his
neck and kissed his forehead, "There will be another chance in the future."
" Well." Zhen Shuai hugged him and stood up, patting the dust on his butt, "Let's go to the village chief's house."
