After the brothers Li Xiangyang and Lin Guoliang exchanged greetings, they took off their coats and started to help regardless of the brothers' obstruction.
Lin Changyou walked halfway and met Zhang Xiuqing, who was leading Xiaodouzi home, and asked her to ride to Yu's house to buy fish. Xiaodouzi heard that he was buying fish and followed him.
Lin Changyou walked to the foot of the mountain and found that Li Xiangyang was doing farm work decently, and he felt very happy.
In rural areas, when a new son-in-law comes to the house, he will help his father-in-law with the work. Everyone secretly compares which son-in-law is hardworking and has good strength.
He used to wish that his Xiaolan could find a down-to-earth man, not a guy like Yang Laoyao who rolled his eyes around and talked nonsense.
"Guoliang, why did you let Xiang Yang do this job? You see, your pants are stained." Lin Changyou looked at a few people, the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes blooming like flowers, "Xiang Yang, stop doing it, let Guo Liang and Guodong do it.
You and I go to the pig farm and look at the pigs in the pen."
"It's okay, Uncle Lin. There's just one more thing left. Once it's piled up, let's go together." Li Xiangyang said.
Lin Guoliang smiled and said: "Yes, Xiangyang, let's exchange experiences in raising pigs later."
Li Xiangyang nodded: "No problem!"
After a while, several people piled up the soil and manure, and went to the pig farm carrying hoes, pickaxes, baskets, and dung buckets.
Li Xiangyang saw a bamboo pipe coming down from the mountain in the corner of the pig farm yard. A mountain spring water flowed from the bamboo pipe, flowed into a large tank, overflowed and flowed into a small ditch.
Lin Changyou went to the house and brought a long bench out, and said to the three of them: "Hurry up and wash your shoes, socks, and put on your coat to avoid catching a cold."
Lin Guodong smiled and said: "How can you be so delicate? I'm still sweating."
Lin Changyou glared at him: "By the time you feel cold, you've already caught a cold."
Li Xiangyang felt that Lin Guodong's character was a bit reckless, while Lin Guoliang was much more steady.
After several people stood in front of the water tank and cleaned up, they quickly put on their shoes, socks and coats. Lin Changyou and his son happily took Li Xiangyang to the pig pen.
Several people exchanged their experiences in raising pigs. Lin Changyou pointed to a dozen big fat pigs in the pen and said: "Some of them are to be handed over to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the others are decided by the dealers."
"It's better to sell to dealers. The price charged by the supply and marketing cooperative is too low." Li Xiangyang thought for a moment and then said, "If you want to maximize profits, I think it's Xiaolan's idea to open a shop to make local specialties, smoke bacon and sausages, and deliver them to
Sold in the East Market.”
Lin Changyou pondered for a moment and said, "Next year! I'll keep half of my hair this year."
Several people came out of the pig farm. Lin Changyou pointed to the mountain behind the pig farm and said: "I plan to go into the mountains next year to dig some ginger taro seeds and bring them back. The yield of ginger taro is high. The stems of ginger taro can be fed to pigs, and the ginger taro can be cooked to feed."
Pigs, pigs grow fast.”
Li Xiangyang said: "I know about ginger taro. I only know that the flowers are red and beautiful. If Qiaohui hadn't shown Xiaolan the vermicelli yesterday, I wouldn't have known how to make vermicelli."
He paused and continued, "Since you can press vermicelli, it proves that the starch content should be good. Food with high starch content is best for feeding pigs."
Lin Chang nodded slightly and sighed: "Ginger taro is easier to grow than taro, and the yield is also good. Aunt Xiaolan's house has ginger taro planted in front and behind the house. When there is a famine, the people in the mountains eat ginger taro, red potato, taro, and potato."
These."
"Xiaolan said she came here this time and wanted to visit the mountains and collect some of their dried mushrooms, black fungus, ginger taro powder and mountain products to sell in the Dongshi market during the New Year." Li Xiangyang said.
Chief Lin nodded: "Okay, if you want to go, ask Guoliang to borrow two mules from his father-in-law's house and accompany you early tomorrow morning. Otherwise, if you wait another half month and the mountain is closed by heavy snow, you will not be able to enter."
The four of them walked back while talking. When they met the members who had gone up the mountain to cut firewood, they all looked at Li Xiangyang curiously.
The older grandma looked at Li Xiangyang and said to Lin Changyou: "Accountant Lin, this is your boyfriend in Linlan City. He looks different from us country folk."
Lin Changyou looked at her with a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay."
When they returned home, Zhao Xiaohui also came and praised Li Xiangyang fiercely.
Li Xiangyang felt that the two concubines of the Lin family were very different in character. The eldest concubine was not very talkative, but the second concubine was a bit too talkative.
Lin Lan looked at Li Xiangyang's blushing face and was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth.
Seeing that he was embarrassed, Lin Changyou sent Zhao Xiaohui away, and they went to the main room to discuss the matter.
"Xiang Yang, Brother Yong said it was not stable when it first opened, right?"
Li Xiangyang thought for a while and said, "I read in the newspaper that at the beginning of the year, coastal cities began to issue a certificate called a business license to vendors doing business. Only those with a business license are legally operating."
"If you open a stall without a license, you will be fined, and confiscated and seized. I asked Dongzi to help me inquire about the license. I should have news when I get back."
Lin Lan didn't expect that he had paid attention to these. He felt that people with good brains were prosperous no matter what era they were in.
"Okay, I feel relieved when you say that." Lin Changyou looked at Lin Lan, "Xiaolan, are you going to your aunt's place in Stone Mountain to see the local products?"
Lin Lan nodded and explained her plan, telling them that she wanted to go into the mountains to see what kind of wild products there were.
After you understand their varieties clearly, you can then purchase some aniseed ingredients that are not available here, find a stable source of goods, and prepare a complete range of varieties, then you can open a specialty shop in the city.
In the future, more and more people will go out of the restaurant to buy spices, fungus, dried mushrooms, kelp, and dried shrimps. Such a dry miscellaneous shop may not look eye-catching, but it is
A shop that makes a lot of money.
Lin Lan said that when he thought about it, going forward, it would never be like now. When sea pepper season comes, almost every household would make bean paste by themselves.
Every household can make bean curds, pickled salt vegetables, and various side dishes. In fact, selling these can be very profitable once it reaches a large scale.
Nowadays, filling and sterilizing equipment is not available on the market at all. Take your time and do it again when you have a chance. You won’t become fat after one bite.
Lin Changyou looked at Lin Lan and said: "Your two brothers and I have also discussed it. Next year we want to expand the pig farm, and the family will be even busier. You said opening a shop, but we don't understand business.
Some of the stuff I’ve never even heard of.”
"We plan to leave the shop to you to manage, just like a pig farm, and get a share. Cured chicken, cured duck, salted duck... we will make the local products, collect them and send them to the city, and give us dividends every year
That’s it, do you think it’s okay?”
Lin Lan has never personally run a specialty dry goods store before. She just talked with the proprietress of the dry goods store she cooperates with and knows some channels for purchasing goods.
Seeing that Mr. Lin was in trouble with a few people, he thought for a moment and said, "Dad, how about this? I'll help you set up the shop first. When the business starts, I can go home and take care of the shop."
