60s Splendid Life

Due to the bad situation outside this year, Lu Jin can no longer open his hands to do business like last year, so this year he and Wang Chenglin bought less than half the amount of peppers last year, but even if his side has reduced a lot, they still buy. About a thousand catties of peppers.Probably due to the impact of their harvest of peppers last year, there are a lot of people growing peppers in Wangjiagouzi this year. This part of the peppers is grown by private individuals outside the brigade, so this year he harvested peppers cheaper than last year.

He can't buy so many peppers by himself.

But what should he do if he can't eat the extra chili?Lu Jin proposed to Wang Chenglin, who delivered the goods to him, to ask him to build a workshop with their team to make chili sauce, so that the chili peppers grown in their village in the future will not have to worry about rot even if they cannot be harvested. In the field or sold cheaply.

Anyway, he suggested that he gave it, and even gave Wang Chenglin a recipe for making chili sauce. How this matter can be handled depends on Wang Chenglin's ability and the wishes of the villagers.

As for whether Wangjiagouzi will follow Wang Chenglin's suggestion to build a workshop, it depends on the decision of their own brigade, and Lu Jin can't take care of the affairs of other villages.

However, after the autumn harvest was over, he finally found an opportunity to talk to their team leader about expanding the tofu workshop. The current space in their tofu workshop is not enough, and there are many jars filled with fermented bean curd in the house. If they do, if they knock down one, they will lose a jar of fermented bean curd.

"Yeah, I'm thinking about this too. After all, our tofu shop is a bit small, and everyone can't turn around when they're working." Aunt Qin felt the same way. She helps in the tofu workshop, so she, the captain, is very clear about what is going on in their tofu workshop.

As soon as Lu Jin heard what their captain said, he knew that there was something to be done about the expansion, so he held back his joy and continued to lobby: "There is also our stove outside, do we have to build two more stoves, or When the business is good at the end of the year, our stoves are not enough, which often delays things."

"That's right, if there are two more stoves, it will be more convenient for us to work." Aunt Qin also nodded.

"Since this house has to be built sooner or later, it is better to build it later than to build it early. Money is going to be spent anyway, and we can use it earlier if we build it earlier. And we usually have to dry the bean curd sticks and put them outside to dry to the end. Don’t worry about it, we might as well come out in a place around the back together, and we don’t need special people to watch the bean curd sticks in the future.” Now they are drying bean curd sticks outside, because the surroundings are empty, they have to keep an eye on them all the time , to prevent someone from stealing yuba.It's okay to steal bean curd sticks, but I'm afraid that some people will sprinkle some bad things on them. They don't know, and they sell them to others to eat. What's wrong with eating is the most troublesome.

When it comes to building houses, their tofu workshops don’t close after three to two years of operation. Like the asphalt houses built now, they will break down after two or three years at most. They have to replace the asphalt. In March and April, it was repaired again, and there were leaks in several places above.

Lu Jin knew that their tofu shop must have made money since it was opened last year. This money is not much, and it is not much in the hands of everyone, but it is definitely enough to build a house, so he proposed to their captain : "We might as well build a green brick and tile house, which is more durable, and it doesn't need to be repaired every two or three years."

Aunt Qin finally saw the boy's purpose, and told her for a long time, it turned out that he was waiting here.

"You think I don't want to build it. It's not so easy to build a brick and tile house now. There are no brick kilns and tile kilns in our village. If we want to buy bricks and tiles, we have to get a note from the team to buy them elsewhere, and then find a car to pull them back. , the current bricks and tiles are not easy to buy, and I have to queue up, and I don’t know when I will be in line.” When it comes to building a house, Aunt Qin certainly wants to build it, but it’s difficult to buy bricks and tiles. It may not be possible to buy it, otherwise it would not be so difficult for people in the countryside to build houses.

"Are bricks and tiles so hard to buy now?"

This Lu Jin really doesn't know, but in his opinion, this matter is not so difficult, "Why don't we build a brick kiln in our village? Then the bricks and tiles we burn can be used by ourselves in the future It can be sold to people in several nearby villages."

"How can this thing be so easy to burn? If it is so easy to burn, other villages will be built sooner." Aunt Qin thought that Lu Jin was too young, so she was so whimsical, and said to open a brick kiln It's as easy as eating.

"Everything is difficult at the beginning! Before the tofu workshop was built, you would not have thought that we could make tofu, would you, Captain? We can ask in our village if there is anyone who can do this. If there is, we will find Two masters came to teach everyone how to do it, and when more people learn it, won't our brick and tile factory open?" Lu Jin really doesn't think there is anything impossible, it depends on manpower.

Moreover, he has long discovered that there are actually a lot of surplus labor in the countryside. If this part of labor can be utilized, great things can still be done.

"It just so happened that the autumn harvest is over, and everyone is not so busy in the second half of the year. If we open another brick and tile factory in our village, people in our village can find jobs, which is a good thing for everyone. Our tofu workshop is small. You don’t need so many people to do things, but if you want to open a brick and tile factory, you need more people, and those who want to work in our tofu factory should let them work in the brick and tile factory.”

"I'm a little moved by what you said!" Aunt Qin really felt that their brick and tile factory could be built after hearing what Lu Jin said, but there was still a problem, "If we burn the bricks What if no one buys it?"

"How come no one bought it?" Lu Jin was surprised when he heard his Aunt Qin's question, pulled someone to sit down, and explained the matter to his Aunt Qin, "Look, we There are many people in the village whose houses cannot be opened. You see, some people can’t marry a wife because they don’t have a house. If we have bricks and tiles in our own village, we don’t have to travel so far to buy them. Don’t believe me Go outside and ask, if there are bricks and tiles for sale in our village, see if you want to buy them. At that time, the bricks and tiles fired in the brick and tile factory we built in our own village will be cheaper to sell to people in our own village. "

"That's what I think." Aunt Qin also thought that there are many unmarried young people in their village. Because they don't have a house at home, people from other villages don't want to marry their daughters to them. Come to the village.If the house problem can be solved, it will not be so difficult for young people in their village to marry a wife.

But thinking about it is one thing, but being able to get the money out is another.

"Hey, it's not easy. Those who have no money can use labor to pay off their debts. At that time, let's calculate how many work points are needed to earn enough bricks and tiles for a house, and let the young people in the village who want to build a house go to the brick and tile factory. Come to work, and earn enough work points to exchange bricks and tiles to build a house, so many people will rush to work.” Lu Jin felt that he was working hard to build a brick and tile house for their tofu workshop, even the brick and tile house And how it works has been figured out for them in the village.

"And look, ma'am, no one in our village has any relatives from other villages. When the time comes, a large area of ​​green brick and tile houses will be built in our village. Those relatives from other places will come to our village to visit relatives and see ours. The house is so beautiful, don’t you envy it? Don’t compare? This envy and this comparison, don’t you have to spend money to buy bricks and tiles from us to build a house? Just sell the bricks and tiles to the people in several nearby villages, That's enough for us to burn." He didn't believe it anymore, and when other villagers came to them, they wouldn't be tempted to see the houses in their village so beautifully built.

"The houses in our own village haven't been built yet, so how can we sell them to other villages?" Aunt Qin disagreed when she heard that, how could the houses in other villages be more beautiful than theirs!

"That's right, that's the reason. We must first pay close attention to our own village. Don't other people's houses be built more beautifully than those in our village. All the beautiful girls will marry young men from other villages. The young men in our village I still have to continue to beat the light." No, wouldn't the fish be hooked?Lu Jin felt that there was hope for their tofu shop to build a green brick compound!

"That's the reason...You kid, you even set me up!" Aunt Qin saw Lu Jin smiling at her, and then she knew that she had fallen into the trap set by this kid.

But let's go, Aunt Qin still thinks that Lu Jin's idea is right, and she is also thinking about this matter in her heart, so she agrees: "Okay, I will talk to your captain when I go back tonight. This matter can only be done with the consent of our team leader."

"This matter will trouble my aunt. You go back and talk to the captain, and he will definitely agree. This is a good thing that concerns the happiness of the unmarried youths in our village. The young people should thank you, aunt, and their family members should also thank you, aunt." Lu Jin grinned happily, as if seeing their green brick and tile houses and waving to him.

"That's enough, that's enough, don't say anything good, the factory is still gone!"

Aunt Qin knew that she had been duped, but she was not angry. It would be a good thing if they could build a brick and tile factory. She promised Lu Jin: "If our brick and tile factory can be built, the first batch of bricks and tiles that are fired Brick and tile, I will build a yard for our tofu shop!"

"That's right, that's right. When our tofu factory is built, everyone will see that our tofu factory is so beautifully built, and they will all scramble to earn work points and exchange bricks and tiles to build a house." Lu Jin from the beginning to the end The goal is to replace the small asphalt house in the tofu workshop with a large tile house made of green bricks.Of course, if the brick and tile factory in the village opens at that time, it is not impossible for him to buy a piece of land in the village and build a house. One's own talents live forever.

The two discussed this matter for a while, and went to work happily.

When others saw them so happy and asked them what they were happy about, Aunt Qin just smiled and didn't tell others.Before things are done, Lu Jin won't tell others, don't talk about it, who will he cry to?
