Chapter 38 Going to the City to Buy New Year's Goods
During this period of vigorous construction and transformation of his own wasteland, Wang Qiang's most satisfying work achievement was the completion of the artificial lake.
The importance of the artificial lake can be regarded as second among the future estates of my family.
The first important thing is the natural lake on the back mountain.
The functions of artificial lakes are diverse.
It can not only raise fish, but also provide clean water for planting and breeding at the foot of the mountain.
It can nourish this area, continuously improve the soil and environment, and have a natural air-conditioning effect of keeping warm in winter and cool in summer.
The loess dug out of the artificial lake can just fill in the potholes at the foot of the mountain, so there is no need to open up wasteland in those places.
Half a month ago, the moso bamboo on the back mountain was swept away by the swarming villagers.
The remaining bamboo roots were transplanted by the villagers to their own ditches and around the entire back mountain according to Wang Qiang's planning and instructions.
After this round of commotion, most of the wild animals on Dazhu Mountain have disappeared, and a small number have become delicious meals for the villagers.
From now on, if Wang Qiang wants to hunt bamboo rats and hares, he must go hunting in other mountains and forests.
Wang Qiang's family still remembers the huge momentum of more than 10,000 people going up to the mountains to work together to this day.
Two major tasks that seemed like a huge workload were actually completed by everyone in one day!
Moreover, the finish quality is very good, with basically no flaws.
The large number of holes left by digging bamboo roots can be used to plant tea trees and fruit trees, even the step of digging holes is omitted.
But the big project of planting wild old tea trees will have to wait a month before it can be started.
One of his current obsessions is to preserve the lifeblood of the tea city and let those big foreign businessmen with wishful thinking come up empty-handed.
Today's Dazhushan has completely become a thing of the past.
In about two months, it will be time to change its name to Dacha Mountain.
"elder brother!"
A crisp voice came from the large kitchen on the second floor, "Come and have breakfast!"
"After breakfast, our family will go to the city to buy new year's goods!"
Wanyu, the girl, was very excited when she heard last night that she was going to the city to buy new year's goods today. Today, the three little girls got up early to make breakfast.
"coming!"
Wang Qiang replied, then turned around and returned to the large kitchen on the second floor from the balcony.
This morning I had soy milk, steamed buns and fried dough sticks.
After his family became rich, of course Wang Qiang would not continue to treat himself and his sisters badly.
He taught Wanjun and them how to make many dishes and snacks, and even went to the city to buy corresponding kitchen utensils.
Therefore, the diet of Wang Qiang's family is very rich now, and it is not much different from that in the 21st century.
Moreover, the quality of food materials is much better than that of later generations.
Today's food is all natural, not the food of later generations that has everything adulterated and added ingredients.
The four brothers and sisters had breakfast and began to prepare for the city.
After all, the New Year’s goods are so complicated that you have to make a list.
Today is different from the past. If you forget something important, you may not be able to buy it when you enter the city again.
After the merchants sold out this wave of sales, they basically went home to celebrate the New Year. If they wanted it, they had to wait until after the Chinese New Year.
Today is an era of scarce supplies, especially at the end of the year, when the quantities of many things are limited.
The four brothers and sisters sat down around the big coffee table in the living room and discussed it for about ten minutes before finally reaching an agreement and writing down all the New Year's goods they needed to buy with pen and paper.
It's getting late, we have to get into the city quickly.
Wang Qiang didn't bring any money, because on top of the three-wheeled bicycle downstairs were two large wild boars that he had brought back from the mountains early this morning.
He went into the mountains before dawn because he was afraid of not having enough time.
The four brothers and sisters went downstairs in a hurry and walked out of the door. Wang Qiang locked the door and told the big yellow dog to look after the house as always.
Those four puppies are no longer puppies, they weigh more than 20 pounds. Not only are they very fierce, but they are also very humane and sensible, and they can actually take care of homes and homes.
The big wild boar on the tricycle was still covered with a raincloth. After the three little girls climbed onto the car, they held the railings of the carriage and sat on top of the raincloth.
Wang Qiang rode a tricycle along the bluestone road he had just built a few days ago, and soon arrived in front of the gate building.
He got off the car and opened the big wooden door, pushed the tricycle out, then turned around and locked the door.
Riding a three-wheeled bicycle across the stone arch bridge, along the village road, towards the Chajiang Bridge.
"Brother, the roads in this village are too bad."
The vehicles were driving on the small road, and there were so many potholes, which made Wanyu complain. "Didn't you say that the village is planning to build roads? Why haven't we started yet?"
More than ten days ago, the old village chief took the village cadres and some villagers to inspect the roads in the entire village, and then asked a few cultural people to measure and draw lines.
However, there are so many villagers along the various roads involved that not only some buildings must be demolished, but also a lot of land must be expropriated.
Although the village's compensation was adequate and it promised to build villas for the affected villagers' homes and arrange them to be the first batch of residents, the villagers had no objection.
However, the consultation and statistical work that needs to be carried out is still very cumbersome and cannot be solved in a short time.
It is estimated that when all the problems are solved and construction begins, it will be mid to late next month.
The main reason is that most villagers have no money.
Other materials can be produced by oneself and left alone. A large amount of cement must be bought with money, right?
With so many people working together, eating and drinking every day is a very difficult task. It requires all the villagers to contribute to their families to be able to support it.
That is because the villagers now work together and decide to build the roads in the village and repair their big villas at any cost.
In the future era, people will be preoccupied, lazy and take advantage of others, and just want to take advantage and not suffer losses. They will simply not be able to accomplish these two big things.
"Xiaoyu, I tell you to be more steady!"
Wan Jun looked at this girl who was getting more and more carefree and felt a little worried, "How can it be so easy to do such a big thing in such a big village?"
She scolded, "The complexity of this is not as simple as it seems. There are too many problems that need to be solved, which will make impatient cadres collapse!"
Wanjun had a hard life since childhood and has a profound understanding of human nature.
For many things, people can only see the surface, and the various routines inside will exceed your imagination.
Although the village is now preparing to build roads and build houses, it is a good thing for the whole village, but it will also make the people in charge worried.
"oh."
Wanyu was speechless, rolled her eyes at her sister, and sat in the car obediently, no longer nagging.
This enhanced three-wheeled bicycle is really awesome. It can carry two large wild boars and four people without any difficulty.
Wang Qiang rode a tricycle and easily left the village road and arrived at the head of the Chajiang Bridge.
Once on the main road, the speed of the car increased rapidly.
After crossing the bridge and turning into the main street, I saw that both sides of the street were full of people coming and going in a hurry.
In today's era, people don't have many pastimes, so every year at the end of the year, going to the city to buy new year's goods and watch the excitement is everyone's repertoire.
Today and tomorrow morning are the most congested times of the year in the county.
People from almost every household in the nearby villages come into the city. You can imagine how crowded this small main street will be.
At this time, Wang Qiang couldn't get up even if he wanted to.
He rode his bicycle and moved forward slowly, following the flow of people gathering from all directions.
It took about twenty minutes before we arrived at the front door of Ma Zai Restaurant.
Wang Qiang is already one of the largest suppliers of this large restaurant. Because he often comes to sell game, all the employees here know him.
As soon as he parked the car, someone came over and took the two big wild boars out of the car one by one and weighed them without even having to say hello.
"Aqiang, today is a special situation. The price of all meat, vegetables and vegetables in the city has increased by about 30%. Our restaurant will not take advantage of you. The big wild boar will give you two yuan a pound."
The lady at the counter had obviously received instructions from the boss Ma Youcai and said to Wang Qiang with a smile.
"OK!"
Wang Qiang said calmly, "Boss Ma is very generous in his work. From now on, I will consider your restaurant for the game I catch."
Everyone can say nice things, and Wang Qiang will certainly not be stingy with a few kind words.
After paying the bill, Wang Qiang quickly walked out of the door of the restaurant and told the three sisters who were guarding the tricycle about the situation. When the three girls heard that they had received an extra five hundred yuan in income today, they immediately beamed with joy!
Five hundred yuan!
Even if we go all out to buy New Year's goods today and fill up the tricycle, we still won't be able to use it all.
There is no need to buy meat, and most of the vegetables are not needed. We just need to buy a new set of clothes for each person, and some firecrackers, lanterns, couplets... these festive things, five hundred yuan cannot be used up.
Fortunately, we don't have to go into the farmer's market to buy things. When the four brothers and sisters arrived at the entrance of the farmer's market on Cross Street, there was already a sea of people here, tiptoeing on their heels!
In this situation, let alone a tricycle, it is difficult to squeeze in even if you are walking!
Chapter completed!
