My 1995 Small Farm

   Chapter 39 The Capital

   After trimming his hair, Chen Ling continued to hang out.

   There are seed sellers near the grain station, including rapeseed and multigrain seeds.

   went over and bought some of everything.

   This purchase can't stop.

   Soon there were too many things in his hand, so Chen Ling turned into an alley and sat on a stone outside the alley, nibbling on the sizzling sheep's hoof.

   At his feet stood several blue-black old turtles, all the size of the mouth of a bowl, tied together with straw ropes.

   When the sheep's hooves were finished, Chen Ling looked around and saw that there was no one around, then picked up the old turtle on the ground and entered the cave.

   Arrived in the cave, glanced at the female turtle that was about to grow to the size of the well cover, Chen Ling untied the straw rope and threw a bunch of male turtles into the pond.

  The mother turtle thought that Chen Ling was going to feed it, so she stretched her huge head out of the water, but in the next second, she found that it was a few of the same kind, and she stared and froze.

   "Hahaha, this is the man I found for you, how is it? Are you happy enough?"

   "It's too small, so there's no way to do it, let's raise it first, it will be able to breed with you when you grow up, and then you will fight a fierce turtle man, and you won't be beautiful!"

  Chen Ling patted its head and said with a smile.

   He had thought about fishing for old turtles earlier.

  Unfortunately, in this season, this stuff is still a bit hard to find. Last time I was in the Nansha River in the county seat, none of the bait mixed with Dongtian Stream water came to attract one.

   Fortunately, we met this time at the fair, and Chen Ling swept away all the male turtles on the booth.

   There are seven.

   There are still a few female turtles left, but Chen Ling didn't want them.

   Mother's Cave Heaven, this big one is enough.

   It is often said that one male has three females, and if there are too many males, they will fight, but this is what Chen Ling wants.

  Nurtured by the water of the Dongtian Stream, the male turtle will not die if injured, and the most fierce one can be selected to complete the mating, which can be regarded as a kind of breeding of excellent genes.

   After putting away the turtle, he glanced at the fish in the pond next to him.

   Dongtian has a suitable environment. As early as a few days ago, the fish inside had spawned, and now there was a layer of small fry floating on it, and Chen Ling dispersed as soon as he approached.

   "Grow it well, and you can eat it after a while."

  Chen Ling picked up the bucket and poured some more stream water into the two ponds. In an instant, the turtle and the fish were excited, and they slammed into the water for a while, like Sahuan.

  Standing on the edge of the pond, Chen Ling stopped to watch for a while, and then went out of the cave.

   After observing the surroundings again, he took out two baskets full of things from the cave.

   is a basket of vegetables and peanuts.

  Vegetables are not vegetables grown in caves.

   is like peanuts, which are quickly spawned in the ground.

   There is no need to press the vines or climb the frame, just support two bamboo poles and let them grow, and they will still grow well.

  Cucumbers and tomatoes.

   He was going to take the opportunity of the big set to send it to the oil mills and supply and sales points in the village to try it out.

   Take a look at the price.

   If it doesn't work, set up a stall and sell it under the name of greenhouse vegetables as usual.

   Even compared to the fruits and vegetables that grew up in Dongtian, it is a heaven and a land.

   But definitely better than regular vegetables.

   Whether it is taste or appearance, people with discerning eyes can see that it is a good thing.

   It's just that Chen Ling is still a little clueless...

   Now people don’t have much money in their pockets.

  Vegetables are expensive and nobody wants them.

   Vegetables grown in the ground are still more expensive than pork?

What about    greenhouse vegetables, the common people do not recognize this.

   "Let's try it at the price of the county vegetable market first, just two yuan a pound and send it to the supply and marketing cooperative to try it..."

Greenhouse vegetables in    County are around two yuan, but now the national total output is not high, so greenhouse cultivation has been encouraged.

   Although there are not so many rich people in this year, there are still a few in Changle Township.

  When he was wandering around the big fair, there were several small western-style buildings near the hospital. He also saw a woman who came out of the small western-style building. She was beautifully dressed, with tender hands, and even picking a piece of cloth had her orchid fingers up.

   Such a family is definitely not bad for money.

   "Well, first go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and oil mills to see if vegetables and peanuts can be used. If not, go to the stalls next to those small foreign buildings."

  Chen Ling had a plan in mind.

   Just got on the car and rushed to the supply and marketing cooperatives and oil mills.

  The supply and marketing cooperative and the oil mill in Changle Township each have one.

   The supply and marketing cooperative is opposite the township government.

  The oil mill is in the village.

  Chen Ling rushed over with peanuts and vegetables, and the result was similar to what he expected.

   Peanuts went well.

   Oil extraction is still relatively profitable now. The owner of the oil mill is rich. Although the price he gave is a dime lower than the county seat, he accepted it.

  Vegetables almost means, one is that they are too expensive, and the other is that he is not very old because of his face and wants to lower the price.

   After chatting, Chen Ling felt that the face of the supply and marketing agency was too stinky, and he was too lazy to slobber, so he slapped his **** and left.

   Daji Master was coming and going, but he did not collect vegetables in the cave when he left the supply and marketing cooperative.

   Xin said: "It's still early, let's set up a stall for another hour and try, if it doesn't work, go buy livestock."

   As a result, it didn't go very far just after I put it in the car.

   Hearing a "bang" in the back of his head, Chen Ling was taken aback.

   turned his face and took a look, only to find that the rear tire of the bicycle blew up.

   "Damn, really bad luck."

  Chen Ling scolded secretly, found an open space to tie up the car, and squatted down to check.

  I used to be useless for anything I did. I bought this bicycle when I got married, and I only cared about riding it and didn’t know how to fix it.

   Only now did this inspection find that not only the rear tires, but also the front tires had rat bumps.

  The so-called rat pimples are air pimples on the tires, like lumps that swell up after a long worm eats a rat.

   This is the local name for the countryside.

   "The front and rear tires have to be changed, and the chain has to be oiled..."

   Chen Ling sighed and stood up to find a car repair booth.

   "Lady, young, come and do me a favor."

   At the door of the grain station, the yellow-faced old man with his head shaved just now, wearing a black liberation cap, with a hunched back, is holding a crank handle, ready to start the walk-behind tractor.

  This tractor is old at first glance. The fuselage is covered with black oil, and it looks dirty. It seems to be particularly difficult to start. The old man shook it four or five times, and there was no sound.

Seeing Chen Ling squatting here to check the car, he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting and beckoning: "Lady, come and help me shake a couple of hands, the grain station is too hard to deal with, don't use it for a while, If you think about it, it will take a long time."

   "Try to see if you can help me open it, it won't waste your time, I'll take you to find a good car repair booth..."

"okay."

  Chen Ling did not refuse, and stepped forward to take the handle.

   Bend over, move to decompress, use your right hand, and shake it quickly.

  I don't know if the oil was not changed or what happened, but it turned very hard and made a whirring noise.

   However, this weight is nothing to Chen Ling. After a few laps, the machine was shaken hot, and black smoke suddenly appeared.

   "It's a young man, he has strength..." The yellow-faced old man praised him when he saw that his face was neither red nor out of breath.

   followed and told Chen Ling where the car repair booth is good, tire replacement, tire replacement and spare parts, etc., they are all given closely, and they will never cheat people.

  Chen Ling thanked him and got into the car to leave.

   "Don't go away for now, why do you still have cucumbers and tomatoes?"

   The yellow-faced old man noticed what was in Chen Lingluo's basket and widened his eyes.

   "These are all grown in greenhouses. Otherwise, where would we have these vegetables now?"

  Chen Ling explained with a smile: "Why, do you always buy some?"

   "The vegetables in the greenhouse, I've heard of this greenhouse, and the village horns called it several times last year."

   The yellow-faced old man walked up to him and carefully looked at the vegetables in the two baskets: "What are the things in the greenhouse? These cucumbers and tomatoes look good. I can smell the refreshing smell of cucumbers."

   "Is it expensive?"

  Chen Ling smiled and stretched out two fingers.

  The old man was taken aback: "Two cents?"

  Chen Ling shook his head: "Two pieces!"

   "Hey, my dear, you've already caught up with pork..."

  The old man lost interest immediately, smacking his lips and said, "At the end of the year, pork is only 18 yuan, and beef is less than 5 yuan. Your tomatoes and cucumbers are so expensive, can you sell them at the fair?"

  Chen Ling smiled without saying a word, and pushed the car out.

   This old man may not know that after the flood this year, ordinary cabbage will rise to 1 yuan a pound.

  Other dishes are even more expensive. Now he sells them at the price of vegetables in greenhouses in the county town.

   "I just set up a stall while the car was being repaired, and I went to buy livestock when I couldn't sell it at noon."
