Chapter 89

On May 14, there was a torrential rain in Hunan Province. Long Jianhua and pan Wenhua drove back despite the torrential rain.

When we were 200 miles away from shajuan City, we found that there was a landslide ahead, which blocked half of the road.

They got off the car and went to check. They found that they needed to dig through about three feet before they could pass.

Long Jianhua turned to look at more than ten houses not far away and said to pan Wenhua, "let's go and borrow tools."

Pan Wenhua shook his head. "Don't bother about it. It's a big deal. We'll walk around for a long time."

Then he scolded, "Mom, I received a little copper this time. I was happy, but I met it. Jianhua, do you think I shouldn't be rich? "

Long Jianhua laughed, "haven't you heard the words' it's going to rain '? Can you stop it? We've been here since we came out. Does it have anything to do with your collection of copper money? Let's go. It's three feet wide. It'll be finished in a minute. "

When walking to the nearest family on the ridge, long Jianhua saw the loach at the water inlet below and immediately patted his forehead heavily, "Wow, I forgot this crop."

When he came to the terrace of the first house, he saw that the male host was sitting in the threshold of the main room, watching the sky smoking outside, and the female host was receiving the soles of her shoes. He went under the eaves and asked, "comrade, can you lend us a basket and a dustpan?"

The hostess looked up at them, lowered her head and continued to accept the soles of her shoes. The male hostess took a hard cigarette and said, "what are you doing with that?"

Long Jianhua told him frankly, "fishing for loach."

The male host said with a smile, "you still need to fish? You pay and we'll get it for you. How much? "

Long Jianhua nodded, "you can fish, five cents a kilo."

The host said, "OK! You sit at home and wait. "

Then he asked uncertainly, "how much do you get?"

Long Jianhua patted his chest, "take as much as you can! By the way, I'll spend ten yuan to ask you to dig through the road. Four feet is enough. "

The host shook his head. "Ten yuan is not enough, at least fifteen yuan."

Long Jianhua seemed to hesitate for a moment. "We paid the money ourselves, just to avoid detour... OK, 15 is 15. If we dig through early, we'll go back early."

The hostess quickly put down her needlework, put on her hat and coir raincoat, and went out with a dustpan and a basket in the main room; The male host put on a hat, put on a coir raincoat and walked to a house not far away with a hoe. He soon called out four men with the same equipment and two women like the female host.

Pan Wenhua shouted, "Jianhua, are you crazy? Loaches are everywhere. Just catch them yourself; Shajuan city costs a dime a catty. How many people buy it and need to buy them here for five cents a catty? "

"The road is impassable. Let's just go back. What's the wrong money of 15 yuan for? Even if you don't want to go around, rent their hoes for up to five yuan. For fifteen yuan, you can buy 300 copper coins and sell 180 yuan! "

Long Jianhua negotiated the price with the other party too quickly. People had already started. He broke out at this time.

Long Jianhua took him to the mountain and said with a smile, "brother Wenhua, our main task now is to pick strawberries, all kinds of strawberries."

Pointing to the raspberries by the soil and the red strawberries on the slope of the field, he said, "last time you went to team 9, you only ate one kind. These two kinds are completely different and taste better than that."

On the hillside is a raspberry, the big one is the size of a thumb, and the leaflets have a short handle, which tastes fragrant and rich; There are no strawberries above the ditch. They have handles and no leaves. When they are picked off, they are like a hollow nest head the size of a thumb.

After eating two, pan Wenhua quickly picked them and threw them into his mouth. He laughed, "I haven't eaten them. They're really delicious! Jianhua, how can you know so much? "

"You are an urban resident and I am a farmer. Naturally, I know something you don't know."

Pan Wenhua looked at him and said, "..."

After long Jianhua had enough to eat, he went back to the banana tree beside the farmer's house, pulled off a banana leaf and rolled it into two cones. One was handed over to pan Wenhua and the other was holding strawberries.

Such wild strawberries will not be seen on the market even if the transportation is convenient in the future, because the raw strawberries are not delicious and the cooked strawberries are not resistant to transportation.

The two took the strawberries to the back of the cab, spread them carefully, and came to the collapse to check. The speed is still very fast. Five men dug through half in a hundred minutes.

Pan Wenhua turned and took long Jianhua to the red place again. "Jianhua, we haven't had enough strawberries yet."

At this time, the hostess shouted, "comrade, my basket is full. Where can I weigh it?"

Long Jianhua responded, "take it to the car."

He now takes only a canvas bag on short trips and has nothing to hold loach, but this truck body is a big container.

Her basket was only 32 Jin and 62 Liang. Long Jianhua poured the loach into the truck and gave her a piece of sixty-three cents. She grabbed the basket and quickly ran back to the field.

Long Jianhua stopped picking strawberries and stood by the car waiting for them to send loaches.

At 5:40, the road was finally cleared. After they drove past the collapse, they saw that the male owner was still in front. Long Jianhua put his head out, "comrade, haven't you already given you 15 yuan? You've already divided the money. What else do you want to do?"

The male master pointed to several women who were still fishing for loach in the field. "They still have as much as you say."

Long Jianhua smiled bitterly and forgot about it. He turned to the field and shouted, "come on, loach seller, or we'll go ~"

In fact, these people have fished all the terraced water inlets once. Now they don't know whether it is the second or the third time. Although the harvest of the second and third times won't be 30% of that of the first time, it's also money.

After collecting all the loaches sent by the three women, they set off again. Pan Wenhua started talking again in his car.

"Jianhua, you can buy loach, but you don't have to buy more than 200 kilograms? I felt numb when I saw the dense loaches in the car body... "

"Really, we rent... No, we buy their hoes for three yuan. We'll need them in the future. You said that we could save the 30 yuan by digging and earn 330 yuan. Why can't you settle the accounts... "

Long Jianhua couldn't hold back and said with a smile, "brother Wenhua, it's much easier for us to make money than them. Fifteen yuan can buy three hundred copper coins, but we can't buy more. If it weren't for the fifteen dollars, could you dig the road in three hours? Can you eat such good strawberries? This is a kind of mutual benefit. "

Strawberries were warmly welcomed by the family, but so many loaches tired the family.

That night, the family processed it until 11 o'clock. The next day, long Jianhua and his grandparents were tired at home for a whole day. Finally, there were more than 40 kilograms left to be processed, because there were no utensils to hold.

After giving away twenty or thirty kilograms, the rest is either loach drilling tofu, hot and sour loach soup, and fried loach
