Farmers have no way to earn money these days, and few are allowed to catch weasels.
Different from the old Tiena pimple in the northeast, there is not so much awe of the weasel on the Loess Plateau.
Now the weasel skin is exported, and the purchase price given by the supply and marketing cooperatives is also high. After being frosted, one can sell for three to five yuan. Some of them are of good quality and big size, and can even sell for ten yuan.
After Wang Manyin came to this world, he did not intend to continue to wander around and do small business like his predecessor.
However, in the short term, there is no benefit in the space. You can't sit on empty hills. You'd better find a way to make money.
Catching weasels is a good business. It's fair and aboveboard. No one can accuse anyone of making money.
Five yuan for one, ten is fifty.
However, Wang Manyin knew that he took it for granted that this thing was not easy to take the bait. As Wang Manjun said just now, the guards may not catch one for several nights.
It's really so easy to catch. Everyone in the village is busy.
In addition, catching the weasel requires closing the cage, but I don't have any. I can only go back to find time to do it again.
When I got home, it was already dark.
Bark
A black gelao came out suddenly.
This guy... Wang Manyin was shocked.
I didn't see it when I left the Sun Family. I thought I had lost it, but I didn't expect to go home first.
He took out the key from his body to open the door and fumbled to light the oil lamp.
Because kerosene is mixed with water, the wick makes a crackling sound, and the whole cave becomes much brighter.
The fried garlic sprouts in the soft ground at noon are good to eat. Wang Manyin plans to pick up another handful in the space.
When he got into it, he found that the water plants and reeds had turned green in a few hours.
Wang Manyin is used to this.
The active substances contained in the space spring water have a very good effect on plants.
After picking up the soft ground, Wang Manyin came to the pit where the native chickens were reared.
Is this... egg?
Seeing three eggs lying at the bottom of the pit, he immediately became excited.
I didn't say anything. I sold egg pancakes in the evening and bought white noodles.
Three eggs are much larger than ordinary native eggs. It is estimated that eight or nine eggs weigh one kilogram.
Soon, there was a smell of oil in the cave
Although the pancakes were burnt, Wang Manyin was still full of praise.
Of course, he didn't forget the mangy dog outside the cave.
Having had enough food and drink, Wang Manyin continued to dig water channels in the space.
After a while, he simply cleaned his body in space and returned to the adobe.
Not sleepy for the time being, Wang Manyin began to seriously think about the way forward.
The experience of the day made him change his original idea slightly.
Now the hot era has just begun, and other places do not know it for the time being, but Shigejie Commune is obviously not strict in the management of Gezi City.
And I know from my memory that the Dove City in the former West County seems to be larger.
If you have a chance, you can operate another wave.
Just getting married can't be done without hundreds of dollars.
In the original book, when Sun Shao'an, the future brother-in-law, got married (in 1975), Sun Yuhou, the father-in-law, borrowed 200 yuan for the wedding ceremony. This was because the wife did not want the bride price. If we count the bride price (1975), it can be more than a thousand yuan (there is a great dispute about the 1000 yuan bride price, mainly based on the original text of "Ordinary World", after all, this book is the same person. The original content is as follows: "But what does he take to marry his child? Now, if he marries a daughter-in-law, despite the public's opposition to financial gifts, which can be less than one thousand two or eight hundred yuan? Alas, speaking of that, it is not easy for others to raise a daughter. What is twelve or eight hundred! Whose daughter can be like his orchid and throw it to the rascal for nothing! ").
This is not Wang Manyin's wishful thinking. No matter in this era or later generations, the poorer the place, the higher the bride price.
Of course, it was more than seven years ago.
Now the market is not so high, but the whole wedding, including banquet and wedding supplies, is estimated to cost 200 yuan.
I certainly can't let my father-in-law help me even get married, just like my original body. Not only did he lose his head in front of the Sun family all his life, but also it was hard for Orchid to return to his mother's home after that.
In addition, the family also needs daily expenses.
At present, Wang Manyin only has more than 100 yuan in hand, and he still has more than 20 jin of food stamps left. According to his way of eating, let alone marrying a wife, none of them will survive the Spring Festival.
And after eating a big meat bun, I felt that it was really difficult to swallow the corn nest.
It's a pity not to make use of our own space. As long as it is not caught in the transaction, it should be no problem.
I remember that Wang Manyin was arrested in the novel, which seems to have happened for more than seven years... There should be a short gap at present.
Wang Manyin is right to speculate.
In fact, from next year, the policy has become truly strict, stipulating that "no one is allowed to go to the fairs or rural community teams to purchase goods by himself..."
What Wang Manyin can think of at present is raising local chickens and selling eggs in the space.
I still have one hundred and ten yuan, and I can buy almost thirty native chickens. In the pigeon market, eggs are 4 to 8 cents each, depending on their size.
If you produce 30 eggs a day, you can earn more than two yuan. It is equivalent to earning a native chicken.
What I put in is just the grass in the space.
The more Wang Manyin thought about it, the more he felt that this method was reliable... but only if he could buy dozens of native chickens.
Now the farmers have almost no way to earn money. All the daily necessities of the family, such as food, rice, salt, needles, etc., are expected to be sold in the hen for money. It is also known as the "chicken butt bank".
Before feeding chickens in the morning, many people in the village have to touch them one by one to see if there are any eggs in their bellies.
If any, keep it in the cage.
Let the children at home watch and release them after laying eggs.
If the hen accidentally lays an egg outside one day, the family can find it along the cliff for a long time. There are even many people who quarrel over who lays eggs, making their faces red and their necks thick.
Therefore, few people will sell the laying hens unless they have to.
Wang Manyin was lucky to buy two local chickens in Pigeon City last time.
In order to get together as soon as possible, in addition to going to Shige Festival Commune several times, there is also going to a larger Dove City, such as Mijia Town.
Mijia Town does not belong to the jurisdiction of the former West County. It is about thirty miles away from Guanzi Village. Its geographical position is very superior, and it is just on the main road leading to the grassland.
At ordinary times, the farmers in the eight villages around Canzi Village want to buy something important. If they can't buy it in the Shige Festival Commune, they will not go to the original west county seat, but go to Mijia Town, which is closer.
As early as in the old society, Mijia Town was a large commodity distribution center. Fur from the north, tea, silk and porcelain from the south are all traded here.
Even now, Mijia Town is far more prosperous than Shigejie Commune, and even the goods from Beijing and Tianjin are sold in the market, which is not comparable to the original West County.
After making up his mind, Wang Manyin fell asleep.
When he was awakened again by the cries of magpies on the cliff, it was already bright.
There were many pancakes at the latest, and there were still five or six left. Wang Manyin didn't plan to cook in the morning, but simply soaked the cold pancakes in boiling water to fill his stomach.
As for the mangy dog rhubarb, just pour some corn flour into the bowl and throw half a pancake.
Rhubarb is Wang Manyin's new name for the mangy dog. As a member of the family, every name is difficult to call.
After filling his stomach, Wang Manyin entered the space to check as usual.
When his eyes skimmed over the pond, he always felt something was wrong.
Wait... fish!
Watching the water carefully for a moment, Wang Manyin finally found something unusual.
Yesterday he caught a dozen small fish from the Dongla River, and the largest crucian carp was only four fingers long.
In just one day's kung fu, he almost doubled in size.
Now it is almost as big as a palm, and can stew crucian carp soup.
As for the remaining small fish, their size also increased significantly.
Look at the three native chickens in the pit. They are in good spirits and their fur is brighter than yesterday.
After carefully checking the status of chicken and fish, Wang Manyin determined that his previous cognition was biased. This mysterious space is still useful for animals.
As for why Wang Manyin didn't change after drinking space water, it may not work for humans, it may be too short, or it may be that the water has lost its active substances after boiling.
Originally, Wang Manyin only wanted to raise some fish to eat, but now he has another way to earn money, that is to sell fish.
