Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 20 Computers are so much fun
The return journey was not easy.

As the snow had not yet melted, the strong man in the village followed the villagers from other villages back to Yujia Village on the night of the fight.

This resulted in five agricultural tricycles stranded in the county town, pulling 100 fragile "computers", moving back and forth, dawdling until the afternoon, when they finally stopped in front of the gate of the small Western-style building.

Such a ostentatious scene not only attracted residents living on the roadside of Shiliying, but also attracted idle vegetable vendors to watch.

“Is this a computer?”

"I heard they're called computers in school, but these styles look weird."

“It should be the latest model!”

The villagers were not very knowledgeable. They had never seen a black and white TV, let alone a computer, let alone recognize that this was a color TV.

Even though there were a few people who had bought large color TVs, such as Lao Han’s partner, the owner of the Quanpu trailer.

But when I saw the Windows icon at the bottom of the screen, there were also brand new keyboards and mice, as well as many promotional stickers, such as 3Dfx-voodoo graphics card, nVIDIA-Riva128 graphics card, AMD-K6 processor...

I firmly believe this.

The second brother stayed in the county town for two days and gained a lot of knowledge. He put his computer, keyboard and mouse into the small western-style building, and rushed to the plastic greenhouse without stopping. While working on the bean sprouts with the strong man who came back early, he started to blow the wind.

"I asked the boss to buy a computer for each of us."

"What's a computer?"

"It's an electrically driven mechanical brain. We can press buttons to make it work, or we can use it to play games. It's really fun. It costs more than 20,000 yuan."

"The boss's generosity!"

The strong men worked harder.

But Yu Yang didn't dare to rest.

When passing by Shiliying, he got off the bus early and went to the video store to look for Subor game cards.

Contra, Double Dragon, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Snow Brothers...

Finally, the outer shell was removed, leaving only the integrated circuit.

When we returned to the small western-style building, it was already evening.

The small Western-style building has two floors, with five rooms on the upper floor and six rooms on the lower floor. Excluding the entrance hall, kitchen and toilet, there are only six rooms left.

Although some of the strong men lived in the old house of the village chief, more than 60 of them were arranged here.

In the room where my second brother was, there were more than a dozen strong men sleeping side by side on the floor, with a "computer" at the end of each bed.

Then everyone sat cross-legged on the ground, put the keyboard on their knees, held the game controller in both hands, and placed the mouse next to them.

My second brother followed the example of the city dwellers and turned on the screen first, then started the host...

But looking at the boot screen, I always feel that it is different from others.

"Hey? Boss, you're back. Do you think we assembled it correctly?"

"Correct!"

"But why is the graphics here different from others? There's no shooting or fighting games like that?"

“Because you didn’t install any memory.”

Yu Yang took out the integrated circuit of the game card, wiped the gold finger, and pressed it into the card slot of the Subor learning machine.

The next moment, the screen page switched, beep...

"Hey, yes!"

The second brother was very happy.

Yu Yang flipped through the packaging of the Subor and found the learning card, and opened the packaging as well. "If you want to practice typing in the future, you can replace this memory stick."

"Okay, boss."

"Don't play for too long. It's bad for your eyes. You still have to go to work tomorrow."

“It certainly won’t delay the planting of bean sprouts!”

Yu Yang nodded and distributed the other 'memory sticks' one by one.

Soon, the brothers entered game mode.

"It's so hard for me!"

……

The next morning.

Let’s get started~~~~”

Accompanied by the cries of a few mountain birds, a shout suddenly came from Yujia Village.

In an instant.

Aunties wrapped in headscarves, young wives in flowery cotton jackets, young men in military cotton overcoats, and middle-aged laborers in ear-protecting cotton hats all walked out of their respective courtyards and rushed to the north of the village.

There were also vegetable vendors who had been waiting for a long time, happily driving their agricultural machinery, and heading to the north of the village along the dirt road that had been cleared of snow.

"Pay money on the left, pick up goods on the right, and leave the village on the west."

Yu Yang yawned as he walked to his alley and heard his sixth uncle shouting from afar.

There were also two sets of tables and chairs at the gate of the courtyard, and three middle-aged and elderly men, one collecting money, one keeping accounts, and one issuing receipts.

Yu Laoliu saw his nephew and waved hello.

"Sanyuan, when did you come back?"

"I came back last night."

"Why are you so sleepy?"

"I've been playing computer games for most of the night. I'll go back and take a nap later."

"Did we buy a computer?" In order to keep up with the times, Uncle Six watched many European and American movies at night and knew what a computer was. "Teach me how to use it when you have time. I heard that Americans have started using computers to do their accounts."

"It should be called computerized accounting, or information management."

Yu Yang also thought about buying a few real computers.

But we are farmers, so we don’t need it right now, and no one will use it.

If I buy it and leave it idle, it will probably be upgraded next year and eliminated the year after.

So, buy it when you need it.

During the conversation, Uncle Six took out two account books from his briefcase.

"Would you like to take a look at the expenditures for the past two days?"

"Just keep an eye on it. I don't have that much free time."

"I've spent a lot these past two days, spending nearly 200,000 yuan here and there."

"What did you do?" Yu Yang picked up the account book and flipped through it roughly.

One is the plastic greenhouse in the wasteland in the north, which will use steel support in the future.

The second is to build a circle of two-story buildings outside the parking lot, with technicians living on the west side and vegetable vendors living on the east side.

Third, the parking lot was originally an experimental field, and after being crushed by the passing vehicles and mixed with snow, it became muddy.

Although we cannot afford to build a cement floor at home, we can imitate a wheat field, mix in cement and compact the ground.

Fourth, the small dirt road leading into the village from the east and the small dirt road leading out of the village from the west need to be widened and compacted with cement mortar.

therefore.

"60 red bricks were ordered."

"15 tons of cement, 20 tons of sand and gravel, 3 tons of various types of steel bars..."

"There are also wires, sockets, switches, transformers..."

"Once the house is built, we won't buy beds, we'll buy steel pipes and weld bunk beds ourselves."

"Then for the doors and windows, we can weld them ourselves using steel pipes, steel bars, and iron sheets..."

"The agricultural machinery station has gas welders and cutting machines...but we need to buy welding rods..."

"Before, I had cashmere boots, military cotton coats, long underwear, sweaters, trousers, underwear, socks, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, towels, toilet paper, washbasins..."

"And the pig-iron stoves and coal on credit..."

"Oil, salt, rice, vinegar..."

"A total of 21.5."

Yu Yang listened with one ear and out with the other. He was stunned for a moment and counted on his fingers to see how much money he had in his pocket.

At that time, we had 88.4.

Later, he repaid 7.65 yuan of private loans.

On the 14th day of the th lunar month, wholesale revenue reached yuan.

On October 14, my family adopted the flow-through planting method and earned 9 yuan from wholesale, with an additional 2500 yuan from Boss Han. At night, they stocked up baskets of bean sprouts.

On October 2700, wholesale was suspended and 13 baskets of bean sprouts were stockpiled. My sixth uncle went into the city and lost baskets.

October 2300, yesterday, wholesale was suspended, and a strong man was lazy and stockpiled baskets of bean sprouts.

Today, October 1500th, the revenue from external wholesale and 81 baskets sold during the day is expected to be .

88.4-7.65+14+14+9+81……

198.75 million.

Excluding the expenses for Uncle Six, it’s 21.5.

Now we have: 177.25 million.

Not bad at all.

After Yu Yang calculated, he had a clear mind, "Sixth Uncle, since we have hired an accountant, we must record everything, even a needle or a pen, so that it will be convenient for transferring to the company later."

"Don't worry about what uncle does."

Uncle Six patted his chest and opened his personal file package. "In addition, many people in the east end of the village also want to renovate the kang, but they didn't have a good relationship with me before. They gave me a lot of gifts. Counting cigarettes and alcohol, let's add up, at least 20,000 yuan."

"Just take it. You can collect this kind of things in the future. As for the matter, you can handle it yourself."

"Uncle understands. What kind of life we ​​had before, now that we are alive, we must cherish it."

"No, I mean, you are the legal representative of the company."

"Ok?"

Yu Yang patted his sixth uncle on the shoulder and walked into the plastic greenhouse in the yard.

Now that my second brother has a computer, he works much harder.

Including the other brothers, they all cheered up.

Thinking about finishing get off work as soon as possible, playing King of Fighters, Contra, Snowman Brothers, and Devouring the World...

After all, these computer games are so fun.

Yu Yang was very pleased.

Then we came to the wasteland in the north of the village.

The five plastic greenhouses that were collapsed by the snow have not yet been repaired, but they are already filled with baskets of bean sprouts.

Further away, five new plastic greenhouses have already been erected with steel bars.

And three of them will be equipped with super-heated kangs to make them look real.

at this time.

A Beijing 212 off-road jeep drove into the alley.

The investment promotion director drove the car and the deputy township head sat in the passenger seat.

The village head sat alone in the back row and leaned out to greet him: "Xiao Yu, your father has a court hearing tomorrow, why didn't you go to the county town?"

"It's been delayed, and I don't know when I can watch it again."

"This is a good thing, it means things are turning around."

"I hope so... what are you doing?"

"Look at the damage after the snow, and I just happened to pass by here. Since you are not busy, why don't you come with us to do something."

"Where?"

"Liao City in the north."

"The road is difficult to walk on, so I won't go."

"Let's go, let's go now. It's a two-hour journey. We'll be back when we're done. Don't worry, it will be beneficial."

"What's the benefit?"

"Haven't you always wanted a warehouse? It just so happens that there are a lot of vacant rooms in the grain depot. I can rent them all to you. There are about 150 rooms in total.

Besides, there is a lot of open space at the grain depot, and it is made of cement. It is not far from your small western-style building, so the vegetable vendors can park their cars there."

"make a deal!"

The construction of Yujia Village will take some time, and leasing the grain station is indeed the best option.

We will move out when the grain supply is delivered in July or August next year and our house is built.

Yu Yang immediately asked his eldest brother to get in the car and squeezed into the back seat with the village chief.
