Chapter 8 Steady is king
"I've suffered!"
Wanjun remembered something, and hurried into the kitchen and brought the big cauldron from the fully-burned stove to the cold stove next to it.
It turned out that she forgot Wang Qiang's explanation that she only boiled the bamboo rat meat for half an hour.
This is the first time she has missed something in the past three years, and of course she is very regretful.
From cooking bamboo rat meat to now, where is it only half an hour?
It's almost an hour.
She hurriedly opened the lid of the pot, brought a pair of bamboo fasteners, picked up a piece of bamboo rat meat, but found that it was not rotten, and it was just right.
While wondering, Wang Qiang walked in, saw this and said, "I have miscalculated it. The bamboo rat meat must be cooked for a longer time."
It turned out that he had cooked it for half an hour, but he didn't think that the bamboo rats in later generations were all raised bamboo rats. The meat quality was very different from the original wild bamboo rats today.
In the past three years, he and Wanjun have cooked wild bamboo rat meat many times, but like fish soup, they have been cooked for about two hours before they can be eaten.
Therefore, without experience, the current situation is caused.
This is also a coincidence.
Seeing that he was wronged, although he did not cause any bad consequences, Wanjun breathed a sigh of relief and learned a lesson.
She brought another big pot filled with cold water to the burning stove, "I will boil water to bathe Xiaoyu and Xiaoling first, so as not to waste firewood."
The dinner time is far from here. She, who is good at managing the house, has to be careful in her calculations.
"Brother, there is not much dry firewood and hay at home. Our family will go to the mountains these days to get more back so as not to encounter rainy season, which will be difficult."
Wanjun said to Wang Qiang again.
“There is not enough firewood?”
Wang Qiang nodded as he heard this, thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry about this."
"Tomorrow morning, I will go into the city to sell the remaining seven bamboo rats, buy some new farm tools and daily necessities back."
He said his arrangement, "From tomorrow afternoon, our family will plan and renovate the wastelands we have allocated, and at that time, we will get a lot of firewood."
"So, this year we don't have to go to the mountains to chop firewood, pick up firewood by the way of clearing the land, killing two birds with one stone."
“That’s good.”
Wanjun was relieved and then thought of something, "Brother, you are going to enter the city tomorrow?"
"Yes! What's wrong?"
Wang Qiang was a little strange.
This sensible sister wouldn't ask this before.
"Then...then, this time I go to the city and take me with me, okay?"
Her pretty face turned slightly red. When she saw Wang Qiang, she said shyly, "I... I feel a little uncomfortable these two days, so I have to go to the city to buy some personal supplies for my daughter's house."
"ah!"
Wang Qiang let out a soft cry in embarrassment.
It turns out that my cheap sister has grown up!
With rich experience in later generations, he still doesn’t know where he is almost thirteen years old. This is his first time having a menstrual period.
"Okay! Sure!"
In order to cover up the embarrassment between the two parties, Wang Qiang said seriously to Wanjun, the sister adopted by her parents, "I was about to tell you three girls that we will go to the city together tomorrow."
"What's more, it's probably going to snow this winter."
He quickly changed the topic, "This time I went to the city, I want to add a set of winter clothes to our family of four, otherwise it would be difficult to bear this winter."
Seeing Wanjun's face turned happy, he immediately looked a little worried. He immediately said, "You are afraid you don't know that the big bamboo rat can be sold at least one dollar per pound in the city!"
"The remaining seven big bamboo rats in the family are sold for 60 or 70 yuan, which is nothing wrong!"
"The big bamboo rats I hunted this afternoon are already quite cold in late autumn this year. I will sell them at the farmers' market tomorrow morning, and they will not smell bad and will not affect their sales."
"In the future, when I went to catch big bamboo rats, I knocked them out and tied their legs with a thin rope to take them home, so that it would be easier to sell."
He waved his hand and said to Wanjun boldly, "When we sell the big bamboo rat tomorrow, we will have money!"
"Daya, buy whatever you want tomorrow."
Wang Qiang had to relieve her worries so that she would not be used to being frugal and reluctant to spend money.
"Big bamboo rat is so valuable?"
"Sixty or seventy dollars? That's too much, right?"
"My God! How much money can we buy tomorrow?"
Not only Wanjun, but also the twin girls beside her were shocked.
The three of them never expected that the freshly cooked bamboo rat in the pot in front of them would be so valuable in the city!
They who haven't entered the city for a long time, if Wang Qiang doesn't say it today, they will still be kept in the dark.
In the past three years, for the sake of safety, the three of them have never been to the county town, nor have they found people to play in the village. They have little contact with the outside world and have no idea about prices.
But they all knew that now that bargaining for rice is less than 30 cents, and selling two or three big bamboo rats can make their own family eat a month's dry rice.
"Well, that's that valuable."
Wang Qiang nodded and said, "I didn't dare to tell you before, because I was afraid that you three girls would be greedy and do something wrong."
"Before today, our Chacheng County could not make a big splash and make money. It would most likely be reported."
"From now on, it's very different. It's the right way for everyone to make money. This is the trend. As long as you don't break the law, do business, hunt, farm and sell grain, you can make money anyway."
It can be said that Wang Qiang is definitely the second best in understanding the future trend now. To be honest, Wang Qiang is now the most important thing.
"That's great!"
"Brother, you won't have to sneak into the city to sell fish in secret, and buy rice in exchange for money!"
"Yeah, my brother said it must be right!"
"As long as you are not bullied in the future!"...
The three little girls were very happy when they heard that they were full of joy.
"Okay, I'll go out and see the places I just assigned to, so that I can make some sense of the situation so that I can make preliminary plans."
Wang Qiang was about to do a serious business and told his three sisters, "It's good that you can be at home. When we come back from the city tomorrow, we can go out to open up land and do things together in the future."
After saying that, he left the kitchen, walked straight out of the yard, and began to wander around the eighty acres of wasteland that belonged to his home.
Why does the village share such a large land for its own family?
Wang Qiang knew it well.
This is not just because the old village chief and the village committee are so generous in order to show fairness.
The main reason is that this wasteland next to Dazhu Mountain has a high terrain and it is extremely difficult to divert water and irrigate. In addition, there are many scattered stones, large and small, and it is difficult to cultivate into good fields.
There are many fields and wastelands in Jiangbei Village, so the old village chief and village committee who are desperate for face have followed suit and distributed the wasteland to Wang Qiang's family.
Dazhushan has not attracted everyone's attention at all and has no benefits. In order to compensate Wang Qiang's family, they simply distributed it to their family to show fairness.
In fact, the same is true. If Wang Qiang did not receive the adventure and continued step by step, there would undoubtedly be a lifetime like a passerby who had gained the memory of his life in the next forty years.
But now that he has obtained the golden finger and the memory of the future, Wang Qiang knows that he has embarked on a broad road that is completely different from that in his memory.
He is full of confidence in his future life, and his happy and prosperous days are within reach.
