Huo Yugui had high hopes for Xu Sanxiao and asked Xu Sanxiao what his plans were in the future. This meant that he was recommending Xu Sanxiao to replace Meng Erqiu. Xu Sanxiao probably guessed what the old man was thinking, but he had his own plans, and he couldn't decide yet at the moment.
It was time for him to stand up. So he said, "I plan to contract the Wild Boar Ridge, engage in ecological breeding, and raise wild boars and pheasants on the Wild Boar Ridge."
Huo Yugui frowned after hearing this, and his disappointment was palpable, "I know you are a good boy. I hope you can do more things that are beneficial to the whole village, such as??????"
Xu Sanxiao waved his hand and interrupted, "Okay, I probably know what you are going to say. The time has not come yet, so we won't talk about it. Please drink tea."
Huo Yugui glared at Xu Sanxiao, stood up and said: "You're still drunk, your tail was raised as soon as the old man left. It's a pity that the old man told me that I have to count on you if I want to fulfill my wish." He put his hand behind his back,
As he walked, he scolded: "They are all heartless little bastards. No one can be trusted. I don't understand why the mountains are so nice. Those people are all so mean-spirited and dirty and smelly???
??”
Xu Sanxiao caught up and said with a smile: "You have to go through the formalities of returning to the breeding farm yourself."
Huo Yugui said angrily: "Raising a few wild boars and a few 'grass phoenixes' in this three-thirds of an acre of land requires ridiculous procedures."
Xu San smiled and said: "Both of these are protected animals, and legal procedures are required for buying, selling and breeding them. We don't dare to be vague about this matter."
Huo Yugui's eyes lit up and he said: "You, too, sometimes ask me for help. This matter is easy to handle, but you have to give me a guarantee. When will you agree to that matter?"
Xu Sanxiao solemnly said: "I will give you an accurate answer by this time next year at the latest."
Huo Yugui stretched out his hand: "Good boy, I mean what I said!" Xu Sanxiao calmly gave the old man's rough hand a gentle squeeze, "It's hard to chase a horse!"
Huo Yugui said, "I can afford to wait for this old man!" and hurried away.
Mi Lier stood behind Xu Sanxiao, looked at the back of the old party secretary, and asked: "Who are you talking to? Are you so angry?"
Xu San smiled and said: "Who else?" He raised his nose and smelled it, and praised: "Well, it smells really good. Your mother's cooking is so delicious that no one in the whole village can compare with it."
Mi Li'er said proudly: "I'll praise you!"
The water in Nanshan is highly alkaline, and raising a woman is harmful to a man. The men in the village age quickly, but all the aunts and uncles are hydrated. Xu Sanxiao has always loved eating sour food. Scientifically speaking, it can regulate the body.
of acid-base balance.
Xu Sanxiao poured some vinegar into the soup bowl, and Mi Li'er and she ate four egg pancakes with chicken soup. They said goodbye and went home. Before leaving, they made an appointment with Mi Li'er to meet in the morning.
The next day, the east began to turn white, in the courtyard of Xu Sanxiao's house.
The ground was full of those hemlock logs that no one wanted for the fire. Xu Sanxiao was eating corn cakes brought by Mi Lier. Mi Lier held a chisel in one hand and a hammer in the other, polishing it smooth against a square piece.
It's carved out of hemlock wood. It looks like a chessboard.
The chessboard is about fifty centimeters high, weighs nearly five kilograms, and has four columns as legs at the bottom. A knowledgeable person can tell at a glance that this shape is a Japanese chessboard. Chinese chessboards are flat plates.
Xu Sanxiao said that it doesn't matter if you go slow, but you must carve it straight, otherwise you won't be able to sell it at a high price. Mi Lier raised his head and asked, "On such a piece of wood, how many lines can you draw to sell it?"
Xu Sanxiao asked her: "You have been studying in junior high school in the town for three years, and you have never seen anyone playing Go?"
Mi Li'er shook her head honestly. Xu Sanxiao wanted to popularize the basic knowledge about Go to her, but when the words came to her mouth, she felt that it was useless to say them, so she said, "Come on, then I don't need to talk nonsense to you, anyway.
Once things are taken out of the mountains, they will be worth a lot of money."
Mi Li'er asked curiously: "How much is it worth?"
Xu Sanxiao told her, "Selling one piece will be enough for your family to eat white flour buns for a year."
"Ah? So many?" Mi Li'er was shocked, and immediately began to suspect that Xu Sanxiao was talking to her to make her happy.
Xu Sanxiao explained: "This is absolutely true. There is a handicraft factory in Xiema Town, which specializes in making wood carvings and the like to Japan and South Korea. I made a few pieces a few days ago and sent them there, and the person in charge gave me some on the spot.
After getting cash, he told me that I would take as much as I had. In my early years, when I was fooling around outside, I loved to watch the news. China, Japan and South Korea were the three most powerful countries in playing Go in the world. Japan and South Korea lacked everything.
The chessboards made by Dunzi can be sold for a lot of money if you get them there."
The handicraft factory in Xiema Town is very famous, and bamboo weaving and wood crafts are exported abroad. Mi Lier went to middle school in the town, so she knows a little bit about it. After hearing what Xu Sanxiao said clearly, I finally believed that he was not kidding me.
Pointing at the wooden blocks in the yard, he counted, "1,2???18???62, oh! There are so many. If they were all made into chessboards, wouldn't they cost tens of thousands?"
Xu Sanxiao was very satisfied with Mi Li'er's surprised expression, "Well, the money is barely enough to set up a breeding farm. I plan to build a few stone houses in Yeboar Ridge now, and then I need to get a diesel generator and buy some diesel."
Going to the mountains, these are all inseparable from money.”
Mi Lier looked at him dumbfounded, "What? You don't plan to keep doing this chessboard business?"
Xu Sanxiao laughed, "It's enough for me to make a chessboard, but it takes more than a dozen people to run a breeding farm. Which one do you think is more suitable?"
After hearing this, Mi Lier stood there with his head tilted and thought for a while, nodding slightly, as if he had some realization. But he thought in his heart: It would be a pity not to do such a good business.
Xu Sanxiao ate the corn tortillas that Mi Li'er brought in two mouthfuls, then took out a bag of white flour from the granary in the lower room and said to Mi Li'er, "I'll have to carry this wooden block out into the mountains to sell it later. There are three more in the granary."
Bags of rice and noodles, you can take it home later, and I will start cooking at your house from now on."
He and Zhou Zhirou are the only people in this village who eat fine grains all year round. It has been nearly a hundred days since the old blind man passed away. Xu Sanxiao would miss things and people whenever he was cooking. At that time, he had to cook for his old godfather.
Eat, I don’t dare to be vague anymore, now I cook and eat by myself, I don’t even bother to do it. The village is small, there are few things to do, and everyone can cook and eat whatever is enough for the villagers to chat, Widow Mi’s house
How good is the quality of the food? Xu Sanxiao only ate two meals, but he has been smelling it for several years. No matter how delicious the corn tortillas are, they are still corn tortillas.
When Mi Li'er heard this, she smiled happily. She was not polite to Xu Sanxiao, "Mi Hua'er's little mouth was spoiled by my mother. She doesn't eat cornmeal at all. Your white flour is enough for her."
Xu Sanxiao said: "Go back and tell your mother that you will switch to white flour and rice from now on, and the food expenses I pay will be considered."
Mi Lier smiled sweetly, walked over and kissed Xu Sanxiao gently on the face, "Thank you."
Xu Sanxiao also smiled and said nothing. He found a pole, picked up six carved chessboards, stuffed some corn tortillas, and went out.
