Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt
Chapter 40 The Rapidly Growing Wild Boar
"Well, people still have to rely on luck. As the saying goes, if a person has a great ambition, he cannot achieve it without luck. It's mainly because of our good luck, so people must do good things and never do evil. Winter is coming soon. There are several five-guarantee households in our village. Let's buy a few military coats tomorrow and ask the village chief to arrange for one for each person to keep the elderly warm."
"If you're paying, why do you need to go through the village chief?"
"You'll understand if you think about it yourself."
Some time ago, Liu Xialian killed a black bear and sold it for several thousand yuan. Many villagers were jealous. This time, the ginseng would probably be spread out. After all, there is no wall that is impenetrable. The credit union has already told everything about the deposit. So the good things that should be done should be done in advance, but they should not be done too much. If they are too much, people will be afraid of gossip.
Besides, Xu Shiba had two thousand yuan hidden in his pocket, so he came back in a hurry and slammed the door.
Guilan was startled and thought to herself, could it be that her husband was so impatient that he wanted to perform surgery on her in broad daylight? The wound on her waist hasn't healed yet.
"Eighteen, why are you closing the door? My wound hasn't healed yet."
"What have you been thinking about all day? Xia Lian just gave me some money, but I didn't want it, but she insisted on giving it to me." As he said that, Xu Shiba took out two thousand yuan hidden in his clothes.
Guilan jumped up as if her butt was sitting on a pepper thorn.
"No, did you guys team up to rob a bank, or did you kill a Siberian tiger?"
"Keep your voice down. Xia Lian won't let me."
"If you are not allowed to, just send the money back. We cannot take this money. We are poor so be poor."
"This is a large ginseng that Xia Lian dug up. It's probably several decades or even hundreds of years old. It might have been sold for 20,000 or 30,000 yuan. I was on guard at the time, and this is the bonus I got."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Do you think it's so easy to rob a bank? People who rob banks have been shot a long time ago. I was right next to them when they were digging."
Guilan thought about it and realized that it was not stolen or robbed, so she might as well give it to him. After all, the two thousand yuan was so worth it.
"Well, did you give her her two hundred and four?"
"No, I was so excited just now that I forgot. Well, Xia Lian asked me if I wanted to do a long-term job, driving a truck to deliver goods and catching fish, 60 yuan a month, and I would get a bonus if I got good goods."
"Sixty a month, while forestry workers only make forty or fifty a month. Do you agree?"
"No, I said I'd come back and discuss it."
"Well, hurry over there, agree to it, and remember to pay them back. The road is the road, the bridge is the bridge, and you can't mess it up."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After giving the money to his wife, Xu Shiba took 240 yuan and ran to the riverside. After searching for a while, he still couldn't find Liu Xialian and Li Damei. There was an old man herding sheep by the river. He was about 60 or 70 years old. He was hunched over and didn't rest.
"Uncle Li, I was herding sheep. Did you see the two girls fishing?"
"I saw them, over there by the puddle. These two girls are really brave. If they fall into that place, they will die. Yet they dare to go fishing."
Xu Shiba walked quickly over and found the two people in the water bubble. There used to be wild ducks everywhere here, but now it was cold and 90% of the ducks had left. The remaining ones were too old and weak to walk.
"Sister Xia Lian, why are you fishing here? It's so dangerous. Come up quickly."
"The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. No one dares to come here. In just a short while, I caught more than a dozen catfish."
Xu Shiba groped his way along the rope.
"I've made up my mind. I've decided to follow you. I'll do whatever you arrange."
"That's fine. I'll pay the previous month's salary and bonus on the tenth day of every month. If there is extra income, I'll pay it at irregular intervals."
"Oh, by the way, the money you lent me last time was two hundred and forty yuan."
"Okay, I'll take it. Our debts have been settled. Brother Xu, I'll assign you your first task. Find three or four craftsmen from the village to repair Daya and Erya's house and rebuild the fence. I'll pay for the materials and labor. Ask Damei to keep a record of the cost and I'll approve the payment. Is that ok?"
Xu Shiba smiled and said, "No problem. I'll go buy the materials and start work tomorrow."
"Go ahead. I don't have any money on me. Take this two hundred and forty to buy materials. Don't think about saving money. Just do a good job. Daya and Erya have had a hard time. The house should be repaired. Buy some vegetables, tofu, and vermicelli. We will definitely provide meals for the workers tomorrow. You decide on the wages and settle the bill after the work is done."
Xu Shiba first went to Daya and Erya's homes. The two girls were making arrows at home. They had good skills and could make some simple lassoes and the like.
"Da Ya, Er Ya, I'm here to take a look at your house. Xia Lian asked us to arrange for it to be renovated tomorrow."
"Okay, see. It doesn't need to be too much trouble. Just make sure it doesn't leak."
Xu Shiba entered the house and observed for a while, shaking his head. The roof was all broken, and he had to remove it and add tiles and grass for a major repair. The big kang and stove in the house were not working. The eight-immortal table and dining table in the house were broken, and there were no stools. The two of them sat on wooden blocks. The fences and walls were also damaged. With such big holes, wild wolves and black bears could get in. It would be dangerous to spend the winter. Xu Shiba wrote down everything and estimated the materials.
Cement, tiles, wood, nails, etc. were all easy to get. Xu Shiba decided to go to Mang Village to find Li Shaoling and buy them all. As for the logs for building the fence, he could just buy some from the village. In the Northeast, logs as thick as an arm are used for burning firewood and are not valuable. He could just buy some from the village if they were in stock.
Liu Xia Lian returned home when it was getting dark. She brushed the big black mule and fed it. She still had to go to the forest farm tomorrow, and the mule would be needed for the journey.
"Girl, what have you been busy with these days? I don't see anyone every day."
"No, I came back at noon and didn't see you. I went fishing again this afternoon. Today I caught 25 catfish, 8 snappers, and 3 turtles. Do you want to eat some?"
"No, catfish are not cheap, you should keep them and sell them. I'll leave you one of the worthless silver carp, but mother has something important to discuss with you."
"Oh, what is it?"
"Girl, have you forgotten about the pigs in the old yard? There is a wild boar and fifteen gilts, a total of sixteen pigs. They grow too fast and need to eat sixty to seventy kilograms of food a day. Our family only has corn. Go to the forest farm tomorrow to buy a super large iron pot with a diameter of one hundred kilograms. It will be cold in a few days, and I will cook food for them. In addition, buy some bran, soybean meal, shell powder, and salt. Also, buy a set of military coats for your brother and sister to wear in the winter. They should be back from school this week."
"No, no, I've been thinking about it recently. Next spring I plan to turn the 40 acres of land on the hillside into a pig sty. By then I'll be able to herd at least 200 to 300 wild boars a year."
