Zhao Shuliang was walking to the vegetable field carrying a load of farmyard manure. When he saw Lai Wang, he stopped and said, "Lai Wang, why are you so reluctant to come back today?"
"Uncle Shuliang, why am I reluctant to come back?" Lai Wang said with a smile.
"I heard that you have started a business in the town and will become a street gangster sooner or later." Zhao Shuliang put the burden aside and said with his hand steady on the pole.
"Doing a small business is just a way of making ends meet."
The village was just that small, so Lai Wang was selling sweet potatoes on the street, so he would naturally meet people from the village. The news that Lai Wang was selling sweet potatoes in the town naturally spread in the village.
"When are you and He Biqing going to do something?" Zhao Shuliang was concerned about this matter.
"It's nothing. I'm just staying in their store for a while," Lai Wang said.
"Who believes it? We all live together, so it's only a matter of time before we do this? Hurry up, every kid about your age in the village can pick garlic." Zhao Shuliang said with a chuckle.
Lai Wang took out a bag of candy from his pocket and handed it to Zhao Shuliang, "I bought it for Jin Gui. Is the brat out of school?"
"School is over early. I went out and went crazy as soon as I came back." Zhao Shuliang did not pick up Wang's things. "You can take the things to my house yourself. Your aunt is at home. You go and sit for a while, and I will light the fertilizer."
Come back. Let's have a nice drink tonight."
"That's a good relationship. It just so happens that I have something to talk to my uncle about," Lai Wang said.
"Okay. Go quickly. You are used to being in the town now, so I'm afraid you won't be able to smell this smell anymore." Zhao Shuliang pointed to two buckets filled with farmyard manure.
"What did Uncle Shuliang say? I grew up in a small village, and I am still a farmer after being out for a long time. How can I not smell this smell?" Lai Wang said with a smile.
Zhao Shuliang's wife, Liu Ying, was a cheerful woman. When Liu Ying saw Lai Wang coming to her home, without saying anything, she grabbed a fat chicken from the chicken coop and cut it with a knife.
"We don't have much vegetables in the countryside, we just feed a lot of chickens. It's rare for you to eat rural chickens in the city. When they are sold in the town, no one does not feed them feed. The chickens fed with that feed are so thick.
It's just like eating dregs, it has no taste at all." Liu Ying put the fat chicken into boiling water and boiled it for a few times, took it out and cleaned it up neatly, but Lai Wang couldn't help even if he wanted to help.
"Among the younger generation in our village, the wife Laixi married is the most outstanding and the most capable. It's a pity that Laixi has no blessings to enjoy it. She doesn't even have a bloodline left. He Biqing is a good woman. Laiwang, even if she has married
I'm more than good enough to marry you. Laiwang, my aunt speaks very straightforwardly, so don't mind." Liu Ying spoke frankly.
"No, no. Auntie, I am willing. But Biqing always says that we are too different in age," Lai Wang said.
"Well, there's a five or six year age difference. But it's still quite big. A young man in his twenties in the city still marries a woman in her fifties or sixties. He Biqing is only five or six years older than you. The most important thing is that He Biqing has no children.
I've heard that it's the reason for the wedding. Otherwise, my aunt wouldn't have matched you with He Biqing," Liu Ying said.
While talking, Liu Ying had already cleaned the fat chicken, cut two large yellow legs, and fried them in one pot.
When the food was ready, Zhao Jingui's voice sounded in the yard.
"Wow. It smells so good. It's the smell of chicken. Grandma, are there guests at home?"
"You don't know how to come in and take a look? You go crazy outside all day long. You don't know how to help your grandparents. Your grandson has yellow eyes (note: the dialect means the same as a white-eyed wolf)."
"Grandma, why do you always say things like this? I will have yellow eyes by then even if I don't have yellow eyes." Zhao Jingui walked into the house and jumped up when he saw Lai Wang.
"Uncle Lai Gui. Are you back? Where is Lai Fu?" This boy was obviously more concerned about Lai Fu.
"I left Laifu in town and didn't bring it back."
Lai Wang's answer disappointed Jin Gui. "Oh, I haven't seen Lai Fu for a long time. I miss it so much."
But the candies bought by Lai Wang soon made Jin Gui excited again, "Uncle Lai Wang is now rich. Only those who are rich will buy candies for children."
"Oh, my little mouth is really good at talking." Lai Wang said with a smile.
Not long after Zhao Shuliang passed, he walked into the backyard with a bucket, cursing.
"That bastard Zhao Shengcai is full of bad ideas. I think Zhao Shengcai no longer wants to be the village party secretary, he wants to be a local landlord. Zhao Yulong, that bastard, has no ability to go out to make money, so he only knows how to recruit a few honest farmers.
Idea." Zhao Shuliang washed himself on the faucet in the yard before walking into the house.
"Damn old man, what are you doing for?" Liu Ying walked out of the kitchen.
"It's not that boy Zhao Yulong who just blocked me again and told me about the few acres of land my family has. Last time, he said it well. He gave us four square fields in exchange. For the sake of fellow villagers and relatives, although
There was still a difference in area, so I traded with him. But now after he leveled our fields, he changed his mind and said that he would trade the fields on the other side of Xingziluo with me.
When we get to Shuishui, the fields over there have been deserted for many years. No one in the village wants them. Only then did Zhao Yulong get it." Zhao Shuliang was very annoyed.
"Then we won't change with him. We will ask him to restore our fields to their original state," Liu Ying said.
"This idiot said he called his uncle Hu Weide, that short-lived ghost, here. We are all old people in the village. If we really start a war with them, we will suffer big losses." Zhao Shuliang is not a reckless person.
"What should we do? Let Zhao Yulong do whatever he wants?" Liu Ying was also a little worried, but she was very unwilling to do so.
"Uncle Shuliang, don't worry. You can reason with them, but they don't dare to act recklessly. If Zhao Yulong dares to act recklessly, let's go to the town. If it doesn't work in the town, we'll go to the county and file a lawsuit level by level.
, but we can’t deal with this local bully like him." Lai Wang said.
"Well. Laiwang has done business outside, so his vision is different from ours. By the way, Laiwang, when you came back, you said you wanted to tell me something. What was it?" Zhao Shuliang said.
Liu Ying also wondered why Lai Wang came back all the way.
"That's right, Uncle Shuliang. Biqing and her sister opened a restaurant at the station. They just opened the store. During the Spring Festival, the business was okay. Now that it's the off-season, the business is relatively light. They want to create something
It’s unique. I thought, it’s not difficult to be unique. Nowadays, the vegetables in the city are grown using chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the meat is filled with feed. The taste is naturally very ordinary, and it is not good for the body. Some of them are not good for the body.
The more unscrupulous restaurants still use boiled water oil for cooking. If all the vegetables in their restaurants were replaced by vegetables grown with farm manure in our countryside, the results would definitely be completely different. In addition, all chickens, ducks and geese are raised in our rural areas.
They don’t feed any feed, and even the meat used in the future can be made from our local pork. In this way, the restaurant’s characteristics will be created. If the taste is good, there will naturally be repeat customers,” said Lai Wang.
"Well, that's a good idea. Lai Wang, do you mean to let me grow vegetables specifically for He Biqing's restaurant? I'm afraid it won't be easy. A restaurant needs a lot of vegetables. We can't grow too many varieties as a family.
, I’m afraid I won’t be able to provide it,” Zhao Shuliang said.
"What's so embarrassing about this? We're not the only ones in Zhaojiatun who grow vegetables. We just eat these vegetables for ourselves and can't sell them for money, so we don't grow much. If we knew that this vegetable could be sold at an affordable price, everyone would definitely do it.
It’s so unbridled that it won’t be enough to support one restaurant by then. I’m afraid He Biqing’s restaurant won’t be able to handle so many.” Liu Ying is an old high school student after all, and her vision is different from that of ordinary farmers.
"Auntie is right. In fact, it doesn't matter if He Biqing's restaurant can't be used. We can open a store in the town, even the county or provincial capital to sell vegetables. Now that the transportation is so convenient, we don't have to worry about the vegetables rotting in the ground. The most important thing is
, we need to grow really good vegetables." Lai Wang said.
"It's what they call green vegetables on TV. But now our village is full of old men and women, and it's not that easy to start a career." Zhao Shuliang sighed, he had passed the age of being competitive.
.
"I think it's difficult to do this, but it's not difficult to do it either," Liu Ying said.
"Auntie has a way. Old high school students are just different." Lai Wang said with a smile.
"You brat, don't fool me. I'm old and confused now. If I were twenty or thirty years younger, I would have decided to get this thing started. The main thing is to have a leader. The Zhao Shengcai family can't count on it.
That old bastard only wants to annex everyone's land, so how can we enjoy the benefits of the land? It would be nice if he doesn't cause trouble behind the scenes. If Laiwang is at home, he can take the lead." Liu Ying thought about it.
, and I didn’t expect a suitable person to be chosen.
"Lai Wang, why don't you just come back and lead everyone to do it?" Zhao Shuliang couldn't help but said.
"No, no, no, no, no, no. You must stay in the town when you come to Wang. Be with He Biqing every day and take care of all the important things in your life first." Liu Ying said quickly.
"Hey, this is the right thing. Wife, what should we do now?" Zhao Shuliang is an honest farmer, and Liu Ying has always made the decisions at home.
"Let's get started first, and when we get a taste of the benefits, the people in the village will naturally be tempted. When the time comes, it will be a matter of course if we bring this matter up again," Liu Ying said.
Lai Wang also nodded, "Well, that's good."
Lai Wang does not really expect to make Zhaojiatun's green vegetable business a success as Liu Ying said. He is just providing a cover for the vegetables he grows in Hongmeng Space. Of course, it can help Zhaojiatun by the way, but Lai Wang will not
mind.
Early the next morning, Lai Wang went to town carrying various vegetables picked from Zhao Shuliang's family. The bus was still in the minibus of Xiao Hong's family. Xiao Hong and his wife were very enthusiastic. How could they accept Lai Wang?
I also told Laiwang that if I need to bring vegetables in the future, just tell them. In the future, I can put a rack on the roof of the car and bring as many vegetables as I want.
