The Portable Farm in the Siheyuan

When the three brothers were waiting to return to their uncle's house, they found that their two uncles had also come over, and they also brought their cousin Meng Qinghong with them.

This kid is also 16 years old this year. Although Mo Bin himself has been a soldier since he was fourteen or fifteen years old, it was a special era and there was no other way.

No matter what, there is no need to join the army at the age of 16. He decided to send him and his uncle's second son back to his old army next year. After all, he will turn 17 and use this year to grow up. Grow up and learn some skills.

I also met my cousin-in-law for the first time, named Wu Weizhong, who lived in the nearest big village in the township. It was a large Manchu village with more than 500 people.

The aunt and the others prepared a sumptuous dinner together. This is quite rare in the current rural areas, and of course it is mainly what Mo Bin left behind last time.

A pig's head, a pig's ear, a scrambled egg, a pheasant stewed with mushrooms, a cabbage heart, and a peanut.

Six dishes are enough to start drinking. Not to mention the current rural areas, it is difficult to find such a table even in the city, not to mention a big fish stewed in the pot and two boxes of noodles.

My uncle’s family is bleeding heavily today. After all, it’s a great thing. I’ve never heard of anyone’s family being so powerful.

There were five children in total, and five workers were arranged at once to prepare a table of delicious food for Mo Bin. No one had any objections, not to mention that most of them were brought by others.

Mo Bin discussed building a house with several elders at the table. They were not amateurs.

My grandparents are old, so they just eat food and drink wine, and basically don’t interrupt.

The main thing is that the uncle is saying that he himself can be a mason and a carpenter, and he is a versatile person.

What's more, he built his own yard himself, and he was also involved in building houses for three other families.

According to Mo Bin's design, he wanted to build a two-story house with a ridge. The lower floor is used as a purchasing station for purchasing, drying, drying, storage, etc. It is equivalent to a kind of street-facing pavement.

The upper floor is used to live in. The stairs are placed in the courtyard, and the entire large courtyard is surrounded by tall walls.

His overall design was very thoughtful, and for this era, it was relatively ahead of its time.

There is a boiler room in the yard of the purchasing station, and next to the boiler room is the staff kitchen. He wanted to connect the steam from the boiler room to the two floors and the guard room through pipes.

In this way, the accommodation will not be cold if you work there in winter, and there is a reason for this. After all, the products purchased here are game and poultry. Which one does not need to be stripped and cleaned?

The best seasons for business are autumn, winter and spring. In winter, everything is frozen and solid. How to deal with it? His plan is to go step by step, and when the factory realizes the importance of this acquisition station, he will expand the number of employees again.

At that time, all the women in the family will be brought in to work, and even uncles can work as guards. It is said that it is beneficial for one person to achieve enlightenment, chickens and dogs, and ascend to heaven. Why not take care of your own people?

Someone has to do the disemboweling, dehairing, skinning, and salting work, right? This is not what buyers do!

Moreover, skins and fur can be sold for money. The price is not low, and it can be regarded as generating income. Although it is faster and better to do it, there must be a way for everyone.

Mo Bin thinks in the long term. He is afraid that one day someone will take the blame, or that he has some problems that he cannot cover up and will be liquidated by others.

At least the house built by the Mo family here involves the participation of the entire Mojialing and Qiligou. It can be regarded as a collective behavior and has nothing to do with the steel rolling mill. The two parties only have a cooperative relationship.

It also saves someone who wants to add sand into it and arrange people to turn this place into his own back garden. This can play a big role in special times, such as arranging people to come here for renovation, such as young people who need care to come here as a job. Educated youth.

He is not a saint, and he is very selfish. He can only try his best to protect some things while ensuring his own safety.

As a person born after 65, with rich life experience, complex experiences, and a high level of education, it is relatively easy to play tricks in these aspects.

On the other side of the boiler room, there are two breeding sheds, one for chickens and one for rabbits. They are both fast and easy to breed. They can also be heated through and grow quickly without freezing to death in winter.

There was originally a pool near the foot of the mountain, but now it is almost empty. The spring on the mountain, which was originally small, is now frozen.

Dig a fish pond of about ten acres in the original location to store water. After all, there will be a long drought in the future.

The valley has been cleared and the surrounding areas are used to grow drought-resistant crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, and watermelons. In the central area, he wants to try to build a few vegetable greenhouses, which he is not unfamiliar with.

The greenhouse uses a trapezoidal mud wall, with a heating channel dug underneath, a bamboo pole in front to make the shed, plastic sheeting, and two layers of straw thatch for insulation, which may require artificial pollination.

All other open spaces were opened up, and all possible planting areas were used to grow food. Not to mention people, a lot of livestock were also needed.

A few people chatted while drinking. The construction cost was beyond his expectation. Now there is no labor fee!

If he was responsible for two meals a day, in the words of the uncle, they would fight over each other to work for him.

At this time, we have entered the cat-winter season, and there is nothing green in the mountains. Moreover, it seems that this winter will be even colder, and there may be heavy snowfall in the near future.

Many families, in order to save food, only eat two meals a day. Mo Bin doesn't want to go too far, and of course he can't eat white flour, but to be honest, cornmeal, cornmeal, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and cabbage are all used as feed in his space, and there are still too many to consume. .

Now when these things are taken out, they turn out to be good things that many families cannot afford or buy. As a soul of future generations, how do you think he feels in his heart?

According to the uncle and uncle, priority must be given to using one's own people for this kind of thing, and all people from the Mo family and Meng family should be used, and they belong to him to take care of and be close to.

It was even more impossible for Mo Bin to be harsh to them. Despite the objections of his elders, Mo Bin insisted on eating three meals a day.

I use hot and spicy soup for breakfast. This thing has no technical content and the cost is not high. This winter is particularly cold. It will be much more comfortable if everyone drinks a bowl of hot food early in the morning. Each person has a big bun with stick noodles and two sweet potatoes or potatoes, which is basically enough to eat.

You must eat well at noon. Pork stewed with cabbage, radish, and potatoes. Change it. Anyway, it is just a meat dish. The next day, it is replaced by big fish stew, corn flour pancakes, and white flour porridge.

In the evening, there was just a vegetarian dish, two stick noodles and steamed buns, and cornmeal paste. The steamed buns were allowed to be taken home. This could be regarded as a tacit benefit of his. There were too many things and he dared not give them to him. Others would be jealous of this.

This matter will be left to the third uncle and uncle. The others will start working tomorrow. Those who are paid must work.

Each person paid a hundred yuan in reserve and was given a copy of the factory's purchase price list, asking them to remember it by themselves. It was best to make a copy, but don't make a mistake and post the money yourself.

After explaining to them again, I gave the uncle five hundred yuan to buy bricks and cement. The rest were all made of mud walls. Sand, stone, and wood could also be obtained locally. There were mountains all around, and there were a lot of them. yes.

We have made an appointment with them to meet at that place at dawn tomorrow. Mo Bin has to go out at night, otherwise how will he deliver things to them early tomorrow morning? Many people didn't even have tools, so they all used it to make iron.

At dawn the next day, Mo Bin had already driven to the place, and he didn't care about so much. He put out a lot of things, including grains, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and other materials, wild boar, big fish, big roosters, and many shovels. , hoes, adzes, sledgehammers, saws, axes and other construction tools, as well as three large iron pots.

When many villagers saw it, their eyes lit up. They were a little skeptical when they came before, but now they secretly clenched their fists, not afraid of working, but afraid of not having enough to eat.
