The end-of-life life of a mountain farmhouse

Although agricultural planting is vigorously promoted now, not everyone can grow food. Even old farmers who have been planting for decades may not be able to grow anything now.

It sounds good, Lin Yang pondered for a while and asked: "How long will the moonstone and sunstone last? How big is the lighting range? What's the difference between the moonstone and the sunstone? Can I buy them separately?"

Listening to Lin Yang's tone, it seems that he really wants to buy it. Boss Wei introduced it more diligently: "A moonstone can illuminate an area of ​​50 square meters, and a sunstone can illuminate a larger area, about 150-200 square meters. You can buy the moonstone and the sunstone separately. There is actually no difference in the light of the two. As for how long it will last, one can last for three months. When you run out, you can bring the moonstone and sunstone to recharge. There is an additional charge for charging. , but this price is not much compared to the price of buying them, if you can afford it, you definitely don't care about it."

After talking so much, without mentioning the price, Lin Yang directly asked, "How do Moonstone and Sunstone sell?"

Boss Wei rubbed his hands, hesitant, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Moonstone weighs 1000 jin, and Sunstone weighs 2000 jin."

Lin Yang asked tentatively, "Second-class food?"

Boss Wei didn't nod his head, but with a dignified expression, he slowly raised a finger, waiting for food!Lin Yang's heart was so cold, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I can't afford it."

He is crazy to spend 1000 catties of first-class grain to buy a light bulb that can only illuminate 50 square meters. With these grains, he might as well buy some water pipes and go back to make a biogas digester. Biogas can not only be used for cooking, but also electric lights. There is no way to grow safe food, but there is no shortage of safe food in their village.

Lin Yang simply stopped buying moonstones and sunstones, and turned to inquire about biogas equipment: "Boss Wei, do you have impermeable membranes and biogas pipes here..."

Boss Wei was a little disappointed when he heard that Lin Yang didn't buy it, but this kind of thing happened a lot, he was disappointed for a while, and then introduced other things to Lin Yang.

There were a lot of things to buy, Wen Zhu brought Xiao Zi along, and borrowed a cart from somewhere, and after moving all the things he bought onto the cart, Lin Yang waved to Boss Wei: "Wei Boss, I asked you to inquire about the news, let me know, we live behind the commercial street, and in the past two days, we will have people selling dried crab meat and dried shrimp on the street."

"Okay, I'll let you know if there's any news." Boss Wei promised with a smile. Although Lin Yang didn't buy the Moonstone and Sunstone in the end, the amount he sold today was worth the income of the past ten days. It was worth it!

The borrowed cart was just enough to hold the things they bought, and after carrying the two children onto the cart, Wen Zhu and Lin Yang led Xiao Zi to walk slowly along the road.

Asparagus asked him: "What's the matter with Moonstone and Sunstone, can't I buy them?"

"It's not worth it!" Lin Yang told Wen Zhu truthfully what he said to Boss Wei.

"If it is harvested according to the grain harvest, it may not be able to pay back." Wenzhu thought carefully for a while and said: "It is unnecessary in our village, but what if other people sell seeds? They buy moonstones to cultivate seeds, and then sell them to other people in the city. People, although the results are slow, they will definitely make money in the later stage.”

Lin Yang thinks it's feasible, but their family doesn't lack that amount of food, so it's not troublesome enough, "Forget it, let's go back and build a biogas digester, as long as it doesn't get dark at night, let's just buy food seeds."

Asparagus nodded, he didn't care about it, and asked him in a low voice: "Have you asked Boss Wei about it?" Jingshi opened his mouth, but made no sound.

Lin Yang shook his head: "Basically, I asked him if he heard that there is a forbidden area around him, and if there is a map that clearly shows where we can go or not, so we can avoid it."

It sounds like taking precautions against danger in advance, but as long as you know where you can go, you will know if there are any abnormalities. Where there are abnormalities, there are usually crystals or exotic flowers and plants.

Asparagus is not discouraged, crystal stones and exotic flowers and plants are not Chinese cabbage, how could they meet when they come out: "We have almost bought things, and we will go to the street stalls tomorrow. I heard that There are many stalls on the street that bring in wild items, so let’s see if there are any harvests.”

Lin Yang asked: "Do we still need to find the person who stopped us when we go back?"

"It's too late today, let's go tomorrow."

"Dad, what's for dinner tonight? Didn't you say that you can eat delicious food when you go to the city?"

"Oh, I forgot to ask Boss Wei if there is any seasoning for sale today."

"Some have expired, why don't you buy more salt and go back and make it yourself."

"Dad, can I have noodles tonight?"

If the son has requests, the father must try his best to satisfy them, let alone such small requests as eating noodles.

Lin Yang didn't intend to sell the family's food at all during this trip, but his family prepared a lot of food and drink along the way, whether it was rice or noodles.

On the way back, I saw a beast meat stall on the street. The bison meat that had just returned from hunting was not very demonized, and looked quite fresh. Lin Yang bought two big stick bones, and when he returned to the camp, Asparagus was in charge of counting and buying them. Lin Yang prepared dinner.

Soak the bones in water and boil the gaps between the big bones. He quickly kneads the noodles and cuts them into thin noodles. The meat sauce is ready-made. Whether it is crab yellow sauce or shrimp sauce, it tastes very delicious. Cut two pieces and bring them home. The bacon, a bowl of noodles is enough.

In the newly bought white porcelain bowl today, there are light yellow noodles floating on the thick white soup, and then a spoonful of golden crab sauce is poured on it, and a few large pieces of reddish-brown bacon are dotted on the side.

Although it lacks the embellishment of green vegetables, such a bowl of noodles with all kinds of colors can arouse everyone's appetite.

The twins put down the toys and picture books in their hands without waiting for anyone to bark, and surrounded Lin Yang, wagging their tails like puppies, begging for food.

Yuzu made a request: "Dad, for my noodles, I want crab sauce with chilli. I want red ones, not yellow ones."

Not to be outdone, Cheng Zi said, "Dad, I also want red ones, yellow ones are not tasty."

Lin Yang cast a glance at them, hum, a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, besides the two of you who say it's not good, who else said their crab sauce is not good.

But the noodles are already made, so what kind of sauce to eat is a trivial matter. Lin Yang opened another bottle of golden red crab sauce for the two children. Compared with the crab sauce without chili, this bottle has a richer and more overbearing taste. Just smelling it can make your mouth water.

"Father, I don't want noodle soup, I want dry mixed noodles." Wenzhu was also naughty, he smelled the fragrance, and handed his bowl to Lin Yang: "I want shrimp paste."

I'm tired of eating crab paste, he prefers shrimp paste recently.

"Dad, I can do any kind of sauce, as long as I give it to you." Lin Quan was already shameless for eating, so he took his own big bowl and came over to call Lin Yang's father.

"Didn't you change it? These noodles are not difficult to make. Go and make them yourself." Lin Yang waved him away with a spoon.

"Father, no, brother." Lin Quan frowned, and said pitifully, "It's been a long time since I changed the sauce. I've already finished eating. Brother Yang, please do me a favor. Give me a bite. I'll be the best in the next life." The horse rewards you."

At that time, for the convenience of going out, they only brought half a can with them. Oh my god, I didn't expect that the crab sauce became better and better. Before I even reached the county town, the bottom of the jar containing the sauce was licked clean.

Seeing Lin Yang and his family eating noodles now, how can I bear it.

Lin Yang wouldn't be reluctant about a spoonful of crab paste, but he didn't knead so much dough and gave it to Lin Quan. Would Lin Liang give it?The two brothers gave it, and Lin Qun, a cousin, must not be left behind. The three of them have eaten, but what about Lin Ye and Liu Mingxin?Does Zhou Yi, who has been with them all the way, also have to say hello?

"Hey, Brother Yang, don't worry about the noodles, we have them ourselves." Lin Liang brought out a large bowl of noodles from the back as if conjuring. What about pate.

"Brother, we can do any kind of sauce, you can order it." Lin Liang and Lin Quan stared at Lin Yangsheng's sauce spoon. Lin Yang inexplicably felt like an aunt in the cafeteria serving food for students when he was studying.

The students stared closely at the auntie's spoons, and seeing their hands shaking, they wished they could rush up to grab the spoons and put them into their rice bowls for them.

He scooped up a spoonful, tsk, Lin Yang added another spoonful, until the noodles were all covered, the two brothers smiled and said kind words without money: "Thank you Brother Yang, thank you Brother Yang, Brother Yang is so handsome , hehehe!"

With so much crab meat paste, one bowl can be enough for them to eat noodles for two days.

"Hey hey, bro, I want to too." Lin Qun brought Lin Ye over. Lin Qun came out this time not only to get away from his parents, but also to help Lin Yang, although Lin Yang didn't necessarily need him. Help, but on the way out, this young man has solved a lot of small troubles in their family.

Lin Yang accepted his affection, he had always been able to tell the difference clearly, Lin Qun was Lin Qun, his parents were his parents, and Lin Liang and Lin gave them all, not bad for Lin Qun and Lin Ye, so Lin Yang very readily gave him two and a half bowls of crab sauce.

After giving them, he took the initiative to greet Liu Mingxin who was surrounded by Ai Ai during the period.

In the end, there was still a bottle base left, Lin Yang waved his hand to stay in the camp to cook, and watched San Pang over here, "San Pang, there is still a bottle base, do you want it?"

"Hey, I want it!" San Fatty ran over, "Thank you Brother Yang, thank you Brother Yang."

They also ate noodles tonight, but compared to Lin Yang who took noodles as their staple food, their big bowl of noodles was eaten as a dish, alas!Sanpang felt happy and troubled. With the crab sauce at the bottom of Brother Yang's bottle, he didn't know if the rations prepared tonight would be enough.

It was not enough at all. For the little soup in the basin, a group of big men almost broke the bowl. In the end, Zhou Yi relied on his status as the leader to monopolize the noodle soup.

As the chef, San Pang, anyone might not be able to eat it, but he couldn't. Before these people came back, he served his own portion.

He drank the noodle soup happily, and couldn't help but said with emotion: "How do you tell Brother Yang's crab sauce, why is it so fresh, it's so delicious that people can't wait to swallow their tongues."

The crabs they boiled were all picked up from a lake. They thought it was delicious when they didn’t eat Lin Yang’s sauce, but after eating Lin Yang’s sauce, they didn’t feel like eating their own crab sauce. tasteless.

The scholar patted his stomach and agreed: "I went to see when they boiled the crab paste. The steps are similar to ours, but the taste is completely different."

"Their family's crab sauce was made by the twins at home, and I smelled burnt several times." But the smell of their sticky sauce also drove them to the sky.

"Next time we let Xiaoshi cook, maybe children's hands are better."

"Nonsense, is this a child's problem?" Zhou Yi finally licked the basin clean, and wiped his mouth: "You don't even think about what kind of animal oil they use to boil it, can we compare?"

The meat and oil they use to cook the crab paste are all pheasants and hares hunted outside the village. Occasionally, a wild boar is a big harvest. How can these little things have any oily water.

What did Lin Yang and his family use? It was a fierce beast brought back from Dahei's mouth. Dahei's mouth is so tricky, it doesn't taste good, doesn't have enough energy, and has mixed energy. It doesn't even look at it. Such a quality Wouldn't the crab paste boiled in high-quality animal oil be delicious?Even boiled shoe boards can be swallowed.

"I took our crab paste to grade today." Zhou Yi couldn't hide a smile on his face: "Hey, under the second grade, half of our dried crab meat and shrimp are second grade, and the rest The basic ones are the third grade, only some unbaked ones are not graded, hahaha, after selling these, we can have a good year.”

Their hard work during this rainy season was not in vain. They helped the villagers build houses during the day, and went fishing for crabs and prawns in the lake at night. They were almost dragged into the lake by the big monster fish in the lake several times, but they survived. 2000 The many catties of crab meat and dried shrimp are their reward for three months of hard work.

After so many hardships, God finally took care of them.

"Wow, how much grain can we exchange? According to the conversion of 1.2 to 2 times the food grade and grain, we have almost five thousand catties of grain."

"You miscalculated. The conversion between second-level food and third-level food is not like this. In addition to dried crab meat and dried shrimp, we also have crab paste and shrimp paste, which are all second-level."

"Hey, hey, whatever it is, save some food, and go out hunting diligently, anyway, we won't be hungry again before next year." "No, boss, we don't want to exchange food here, let's exchange food." The things that are lacking in the village, and then exchange the lack of daily necessities with the village for food, and the food in the village is much better.”

"Yes, yes, I like the food in the village."

The people brought by Zhou Yi are all imagining the happy life after returning to the village. There is still half a month before returning. In this half month, more than 40 of them will be more motivated, and they will definitely be able to build a house or two before the snow falls. There are houses and food. Although the living space is a bit cramped, they can build again next year. The more I think about it, the more beautiful it is. Some people laugh out loud while sleeping.

After dinner, Zhou Yi came to look for Lin Yang, "Brother Yang, I rated the crab paste that we cooked ourselves today, and it's under the second grade."

"The ones in your house..." He hesitated for a moment: "I didn't take them out, but they must be above the first grade." He said it conservatively, but in fact he can be sure that it is definitely a special grade.

He came here now just to see what Lin Yang meant. If he wanted to sell the crab sauce, the ones he bought from Lin Yang could also be bought at a good price. If Lin Yang was afraid of causing trouble and decided to keep it for himself, then they Just take back the crab sauce that Lin Yang gave them.

Back in the village, he didn't know the value of this can of crab sauce when he exchanged it in the village. They took advantage of it, and he listened to Lin Yang if he couldn't sell it.

Lin Yang really didn't think about it. The daily necessities that their family lacked have already been exchanged for dried crab meat and shrimp meat. Crab paste and shrimp paste are going to buy moonstones and sunstones, but today it is not very cost-effective to inquire about them. In fact, he had already decided not to buy it.

Lin Yang pondered for a while: "You can figure it out, but I probably won't sell it."

More things are worse than less things. Selling some dried crab meat and dried shrimps is already very eye-catching. If you bring out the best crab sauce, it is hard to guarantee that people will come to rob you.

Zhou Yi was a little disappointed, but decided to follow Lin Yang: "Okay, Brother Yang, I understand, then I won't sell it either."

Regardless of whether they are in the village or outside the village, Lin Yang has already taken great care of them. What's more, they don't wait for the ten catties of crab sauce to save their lives. They might lose their lives if they sell it. It's better to keep a low profile , it's better to be consistent with Lin Yang's family.

But no matter how low-key, their group of people sold a large number of dried crab meat and dried shrimp in the city, which still attracted the attention of some people.

The Qinglong Gang was originally the largest gang in Leping County. Before the army stationed in, it controlled the entire Leping County for three full years.

Although the city has clearly stipulated that no gang can exceed 50 people, there are policies and countermeasures. The Qinglong Gang is divided into groups of 50 people. Some people use the split to leave the Qinglong Gang, but some are still hanging Selling dog meat for the first time, it is a new gang on the surface, but in fact it is the minion of the Qinglong Gang.

Wu Laosan, who was beaten by Lin Yang at the gate of the city like a dead dog, is one of the minions of the Qinglong gang. When he left, he was dragged back by the second leader, but judging from his injuries, he will not heal within a few months up.

After lying on the bed for two days, Wu Laosan regained consciousness. With the power of the Qinglong Gang, Wu Laosan, who was used to domineering in Leping County, couldn't swallow this breath, but he couldn't move now. The second in command saw his injury Seriously, my speech is vague and I am no longer as obedient as before.

The house was cold and the stove was cold, and he couldn't drink a sip of hot water. Wu Laosan vaguely heard someone outside talking about the group he met yesterday: "...I went to buy some dried shrimp, it's so delicious, The whole body feels comfortable after eating it, but it is too expensive, you have to exchange two catties of grain for one catty of dried shrimp!"

"Their crab sauce is even more delicious. I heard it's a second-class food. Alas, but I can't afford it. Otherwise, I can buy it and try it."

"I thought they came from the coast, but I didn't expect them to be locals. They set up a stall today, and the locals can get a discount. Hey, how about I go find a local to buy a few catties? The locals have a waist this time. But it’s hard, I heard that someone came to find fault with that group of people, and the locals offered to help.”
