Siheyuan: There are seven fairies in my house, I am so busy
Chapter 173 Harvest Chapter
The next day, Zhang Jialiang brought his eighth sister to Zheng Liansheng's home, and of course brought the crucian carp as well. The first time he came, he brought nearly three kilograms of crucian carp, which should be enough for his wife to eat for a few days.
And Zhang Jiali did not disappoint Zhang Jialiang's expectations. After Zheng Liansheng's assessment, he determined that Bamei's voice was very good and very suitable for learning singing.
Now the deal between the two parties was officially reached. Zhang Jialiang provided crucian carp to Zheng Liansheng, and Zheng Liansheng taught Bamei to sing.
From then on, every day after school, the eighth sister would go to Zheng Liansheng's house to study for an hour. Fortunately, Zheng Liansheng's house was not far from her home, and now the eighth sister was not young anymore, so it was no problem for her to go to Zheng Liansheng's house alone to learn singing.
It is now late autumn. In the hunting space, the fruits on the various fruit trees on the mountains that Zhang Jialiang had discovered long ago have gradually ripened.
There is a kind of peach tree on the mountain. The fruits of the peach tree are not big, about the size of walnuts, and they will not mature until late autumn.
When it is ripe, it tastes quite rustic, a little sweet and a little sour, and is very refreshing.
Zhang Jialiang didn't know what variety this was, so he called it autumn peach.
There are not many autumn peaches, only about 10 trees, but Zhang Jialiang has already brought a lot of them home.
Little Lanhua loves to eat them, and so do other people in the family. Fruits are precious things that are hard for ordinary people to eat. Although these autumn peaches are not very real fruits, they satisfy the family's desire to eat fruit.
In addition to autumn peaches, there are also chestnuts. Chestnuts are really good things. They are not only delicious but also nutritious.
Zhang Jialiang specially found some fine sand suitable for frying chestnuts and brought it back home. The chestnuts fried by Wumei's skillful hands were very popular.
Chestnuts are not just snacks, they can even be used as food to fill your stomach.
In addition to feeding his family, Zhang Jialiang also tried to trade on the black market and the pigeon market, and the effect was quite good. Many people were willing to buy, and the price was not low, which increased his income.
There are also walnut trees. Walnuts are also very nutritious. The walnuts collected from the mountains are piled up in Zhang Jialiang's storage space. It is estimated that there are about several hundred kilograms.
There are also some persimmon trees scattered on the mountain, and persimmons are also a delicious fruit.
These days, Zhang Jialiang brings back some hard persimmons every day. He scrubs them clean and puts them into warm water. After soaking for a day and a night, the astringency of the persimmons is completely eliminated, and the persimmons become crisp and delicious.
The most valuable are red dates. Red dates are more nutritious and can be eaten in a variety of ways. They are very popular and, of course, more valuable.
Because of the storage space, harvesting the fruits from the mountains does not take much physical effort for Zhang Jialiang. The free harvest can be sold for a lot of money. Of course, Zhang Jialiang enjoys it and is full of motivation.
Autumn is indeed the harvest season. In addition to the harvest from hunting in the mountains, the fruit trees in the mountains bring Zhang Jialiang a very high income, much more than hunting, which greatly increases his harvest this month.
This gave Zhang Jialiang an idea that he should pay more attention to these economic crops on the mountain and take better care of them himself. With his care, there will surely be more harvest by next autumn.
So he decided to take care of the Xinyang Maojian tea trees, as well as the chestnut trees, jujube trees, persimmon trees, and walnut trees.
He didn't have the idea of planting fruit trees. First of all, one has to find fruit tree seedlings, dig holes, and apply fertilizers. It will take many years for the trees to grow up and bear fruit. It is too tiring and he is too busy to handle it. So he just needs to take care of the existing ones.
The first is the piece of Xinyang Maojian tea trees. This is Zhang Jiale’s most important asset now. It can bring him hundreds of dollars in income every year, so he has to take good care of it.
He built a bamboo fence around the tea trees to isolate them from the outside world, trying his best to prevent other wild animals from damaging the tea trees. He also cleared away the weeds and shrubs mixed among the tea trees, trying his best to give the tea trees a good growth space.
As for other economic crop fruit trees, Zhang Jialiang also took care of them, clearing the weeds and shrubs around the fruit trees and carrying out necessary pruning.
He often observes all these trees that he thinks are valuable. If he feels that they are dry, he will replenish water. Because of the storage space, it is convenient to water these trees.
Another busy month has passed. Zhang Jialiang's income has skyrocketed this month thanks to the cash crops on the mountain.
Among them, hunting brought in about 120 yuan, and these cash crops were traded one after another, bringing in a huge income of more than 500 yuan.
This surprised Zhang Jialiang greatly. To be honest, he never expected that the output of these inconspicuous fruit trees on the mountain would be so valuable.
As for the system's free-rider benefits, since the odd job of pasting matchboxes was no longer available, I only did it for half a month, which reduced a lot of income. However, my second sister got a job and her income increased. These two items offset each other, and the benefits paid out were more than 35 yuan.
In addition to personal expenses, money handed over to his family, and money for stockpiling food, Zhang Jialiang now has more than 520 yuan left this month.
Adding the nearly 300 yuan he already had, he now had a total of about 800 yuan, and he suddenly became a rich man.
Now that he has money, his wish of getting a gun can come true.
Zhang Jialiang couldn't wait to find Lao Hei on the black market. He had contacted Lao Hei before and asked about the rifle.
"Old Black, I want to get a gun, preferably a semi-automatic one. Do you have any information?"
Lao Hei mainly sells bills in the black market, but he is well-informed and also does the middleman business of selling information.
“Have you saved enough money?
Okay, I have a piece of news right now. Someone wants to sell a Soviet-made semi-automatic carbine. This gun uses 7.62mm general-purpose bullets. The bullets are easy to find and the price is not expensive.
I have seen this gun too. It is in pretty good condition, probably about 300% new. The asking price is yuan.
If you are interested, I will take you there to have a look."
Originally, Zhang Jialiang wanted to get a 50-60 caliber semi-automatic rifle, but after making inquiries from many sources, he discovered that such a rifle was hard to find. Even the army had not yet fully equipped it, and there were almost no such rifles floating around outside.
However, the Soviet-made semi-automatic carbine is also good. This is the prototype of the Type 56, which is a copy of the Soviet-made Simonov carbine.
After Zhang Jialiang agreed, Lao Hei took him to find the seller the next night. After some discussion, he spent 2 yuan to buy the gun, which also came with 320 rounds of bullets.
