Chapter 4 Four

Wang Cai has been at Han Xuanzi's house for a long time. He was in the water mill and came after grinding the second load of wheat.Since the expansion of food processing and production, he has hardly had a day of leisure. He can't eat on time, and he can't sleep well.What is surprising is that pair of eyes, like lacquer spots, which did not touch the pillow for three days and three nights, without a trace of redness.And he squinted at everyone, and when he squinted, smile lines appeared. It seemed that those eyes were not for looking at people, but for people to look at.Someone looked at his appearance and said: This is the appearance of auspicious people and heaven.

Of course, he still feels good about himself.He is very grateful for all these years, after seven tosses and eight tosses, he finally got to know himself and found himself.I want to walk a road that is suitable for this Qinling mountain, suitable for this "winter morning fog cover" town, and suitable for myself.When he was working as a temporary worker in the provincial capital, he saw a toaster machine as tall as a person, which could directly bake pastries and bread, but the price was too expensive, more than 50,000 yuan, and he couldn't get it out for a while. First make some halva or something.After everything was ready, the four upper rooms were vacated for two questions.Another three-bay thatched shed was built under the wall of the west courtyard, which is the entire workshop.The bean sugar, dumpling crisps, and lollipops produced are actually very simple. First knead the dough, then knead the bag, put the oil in the pan, and stick the sugar. Any woman in the country can do these operations. The key is The ingredients are ready: how much fabric, how much oil and how much sugar.This technique is only mastered by kings, and it is becoming more and more proficient.You don't even need to weigh it, just feel the softness with your hands, and look at the color with your eyes, and the heat will be almost the same.A family can make a profit of more than 200 yuan a month from summer to autumn.The human heart is bottomless, eat the five grains and think about six things, go up one step, and want to go up two steps.What Wang Cai planned day and night was to buy a baking machine, so he wanted to expand the workshop.To replenish soldiers and horses, increase varieties, and let go of your hands and feet will do a lot.

He has calculated that if forty people are recruited, under normal circumstances, each person can get a salary of forty-one yuan per month on average.Although this figure is not large, but for farmers.Especially after Mai Qiu had harvested and crushed the second batch of crops and had nothing to do, the forty yuan was still a greedy figure.Wang Cai reckoned that as soon as this wind blows, the people who want to come will definitely smash the door frame.At that time, he was the factory director and the manager who wanted or didn't want anyone.It's the chief of the personnel department, maybe someone will come through the back door just like the state recruits workers.Of course he knows who he can and who can't. He doesn't want to recruit those who are clever and have many problems.These people, they have food and money.He wants to recruit those honest people who have nothing to grow but crops; and there are a large number of these people in the countryside.Recruiting them, firstly, can relieve their financial constraints, and secondly, they will work hard.

However, to Wang Cai's surprise, as soon as the news of the recruitment spread, everyone was talking about it.The people who came to him to invest in shares and work were only a few yuan! He couldn't understand the reason for this.I asked my children to go out and inquire. It turned out that some people were worried about whether the processing plant could grow?More people doubted his approach: "Isn't Wang Cai going to be a capitalist?" "Does the country allow him to make a fortune like this?" "Will the members of Han Xuanzi's family be willing to go?"

Hearing these questions, Wang Cai's heart was really sweating. He was a person with no roots, no backers in the county, and no acquaintances in the commune. He only relied on his own head and his own hands.Is there any danger?He began to pay attention to the articles in the newspaper, and read every report over and over again.He felt at ease. There were few people in the village, so he went to his relatives.When all kinds of crunchy candies were produced, peddlers from a distance of more than ten miles came to buy them, and no one in the village said: Scared, eat to death the bold, and starve to death the timid.

When it comes to the twelfth lunar month, it is the winter slack period. Those who can run and do business will not stay at home, and those who have nothing to do feel that the days will last forever.Wang Cai started to expand the workshop, and wanted to recruit more people, because the end of the year was approaching, and it was the time to sell a large number of crisp candies. If people miss the time, the time will never come! This morning, he was grinding wheat on the water mill, and the mill was full of people talking about the public house.It turned out that next to Wang Cai's house, there were four public houses of the production team in the early days. After the land was contracted, this house has been vacant.Now it is rumored that the team cadres decided to sell the house and distribute the money to the members.In front of the public house is the big field, and outside the big field is the avenue leading directly to the town street.The team cadres preliminarily agreed that if someone bought a house but did not want to live in the same place, the demolition could be allowed, and then the four-dimensional house foundation would be re-measured on the side of the highway in Houyuan, and the original house foundation would be exchanged for cultivated land.Four rooms are estimated at one thousand

Three hundred yuan.This is a very cheap thing, and many people are eager to try it, but the money must be paid with one hand, and who can get it all at once? When Wangcai got the news, he thought to himself: This public house is right next to my house. If I buy it to expand the workshop, won’t I have a place to install the roasting machine next year?But he worries about many things: What if others want to buy it?What if one family can't afford several joint purchases?After counting and counting, Han Xuanzi's family is probably the only one who can spend so much money at once.Han Xuanzi's family has a lot of houses, so maybe he won't buy it, but we must test his tone first, not to mention that he is a prominent figure in the town, and the production team leader is his nephew.

Wang Cai hurried to Han Xuanzi's house with a head of flour before the second load of wheat was finished.As soon as she entered the door, she saw that Er Bei Niang was picking up the fallen tiles in front of the screen wall, so she smiled again with squinted eyes and said: "Auntie is really hardworking. At such an old age, my sons and daughters-in-law are all earning money, so I still need you to be so busy!" Seeing that it was Wang Cai, Er Bei Niang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled graciously, and said: "Did you come out of the mask? You are not a human, you are a ghost!" He untied the apron around his waist, slapped him with a beep, and continued:

"What blessings do I have! Our family earns money, and the Yueyue country has given a fixed amount, how can four of us stand up to you alone! If you really want to be rich, you won't let the screen wall be broken like this, there is no white ash!" Wang Cai said: "Then why don't you say a word, I have ash in my place. Isn't Han Bo here?", "Go out early in the morning." "Then I'll carry Baihui for you now!" Er Bei Niang hurriedly stopped her and said: "What's the rush, what's the rush, if you really want dust, let Er Bei come back and get it, and let you run away again! What can I do to see you, Han Bo? You don't come to the door for anything!''

"It's nothing, come sit with me." Wang Cai was asked to sit in the upper room, Er Bei Niang set up a charcoal fire again, and wanted to get cigarettes, Wang Cai said to bring it, and smoked first by himself.He has no special hobbies. He doesn't drink wine or tea. He thinks it's for those who have leisure, and he can't afford to spend time with him.Cigarettes are not addictive, they are just going out to socialize, and if a man does not smoke one or two, it is difficult to arrange his hands.Er Bei Niang asked how much the food processing factory can earn a day, and how much has been saved in the credit union?Wang Cai naturally laughed, and Er Bei Niang said: the more you have, the more stingy you are, the more stingy you are, the more you have; I won't borrow from you, so why panic.Both of them laughed.

Wang Cai said: "Auntie said it! Everything in the world is easy to manage, but money is hard to earn; think about it, how much money can the four of you earn?" Erbai Niang said: "How many can you leave? Kongkongj My home is not as good as yours. You, Uncle Han, are hospitable and have many friends and friends. On a certain day, no one will come to the house, and whoever comes will not drink or eat. All the good things and good things are given to you." Outsiders ate it!" This is exactly what the king can't wait for.How he longed for people to come to his house every day, especially those prominent characters.Immediately my heart was sour, and I said: "Han Bo has a high prestige. How many people like Han Bo are there in this town! I often tell outsiders that there were Si Hao in ancient times, and there is Han Bo today. Your family is a remarkable person. I became a reporter, I became a teacher, the eldest daughter married a worker, and the youngest daughter went to school. In the future, she will inevitably be a member of the country, a scholarly family! It’s not like our family, who can’t read a few words, but can earn enough to eat and drink. It's neither fragrant nor sweet to eat and drink." While talking lively, Han Xuanzi came back.Wang Cai jumped up from his chair to greet them, and both of them sat beside the brazier.Han Xuanzi called his wife: "Why didn't you take out the cigarette!" Wang Cai quickly took out the cigarette in his arms and handed it to Han Xuanzi. When Han Xuanzi saw it, it was the best "Golden Monkey" brand in the province, and he cried in his heart: This little man is indeed rich, and he can smoke cigarettes for 50 cents.The wife took out the cigarettes from the cabinet, but it turned out to be the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda" brand of 20.9 cents. Han Xuanzi said: "How can you get the cigarettes? What about our 'Peony' cigarettes?" "What 'Peony' cigarette?" My wife is illiterate, but there is no such high-end cigarette at home. "No more?" Han Xuanzi said, and called his little daughter, "Go, buy a few packs from the cooperative, your brother Wang Cai won't come to our house easily." He took out a "Great Unity" card and let the little girl fly It seems that he went to the cooperative. Only then did the king understand that Han Xuanzi was trying to gain ostentation for himself, but there was a feeling of being favored in his heart: Who would Han Xuanzi be so generous to?Han Xuanzi asked straight away: "What do you find me for?" "It's not a big deal." Wang Cai said, "You are old and knowledgeable. Although you are retired and not the captain of the company, you are highly respected. We monkeys have to ask you for some things. I don't know. It’s not true, I caught wind that the four questions on the team are going to be dealt with?” Han Xuanzi was startled: how did he know this news?He discussed with the team leader three days ago about the handling of the public housing, and also obtained the consent of the brigade and the commune, but the plan for how to deal with it has not yet been finalized, but this Wang Cai knows everything! "Who did you hear from?" Han Xuanzi acted as if he had just learned about it, and asked Wang Cai instead: "Everyone in the water mill is talking." "What did you say?" Han Xuanzi didn't take Wang Cai's words, he already understood the purpose of Wang Cai's visit to his house. Wang Cai said: "Everyone can say anything. Some said that this house should have been dealt with long ago, and that it would collapse in a few years if there were no more people. Some said that the price was too high. Who can get 1,300 yuan at once? According to me Look, the one with the most ability to buy this house is probably you who are old." Unexpectedly, Wang Cai came here again, Han Xuanzi looked at the little head with small nose and small eyes.He scolded in his heart, "You are so powerful. I want to buy it myself, but I don't want to show my face. Come and test my tone!" Then he said: "If you want to buy it, I really want to buy it too. But I'm afraid it's not something I can buy if I want to. The house is collective, and everyone in the team has a share. I think there must be many people who want to buy it. Who should buy it?" Buying, who should not buy it, no one dares to say that, when the time comes, we will have to hold a club meeting, just like we divide the land and trees, we have to catch paper eggs, what do you think?" Wang Cai said: "You are right. But I think, there is no houseless house in our village. If they buy it, the family will live in two places. If you buy it, tear it down and build it again, this house is half-paid. When the new building is built, the wood has been fixed, and it can't be expanded, or it can't be small, and it's upside down. I have to pay 2,000 yuan. That is to say, I bought a foundation for 1,300 yuan. In this way, I'm afraid It also made many people afraid to get started. Grabbing paper eggs is the most fair thing. I'm here to ask you for your old idea. If the paper egg is caught by me, I'll tear down the wall of my original courtyard and combine the two places into one courtyard. Do you think it's okay? " Han Xuanzi was completely sober from the wine he drank in Gong Desheng's shop.After hearing Wang Cai's words, he burst out laughing until Monk Wang Caizhang couldn't figure it out. Finally, he stopped abruptly and shouted: "If you can catch it, of course it's great! Don't you want to expand your factory, this is the best thing, it just depends on your luck!" Speaking of this, Han Xuanzi lowered his voice, and asked with a look of great concern: "Wang Cai, Bo has something to ask you. Why did I hear the rumor in the commune that you sublet the land to others? Is there such a thing?" Wang Cai was thinking about Han Xuanzi's words about the house, when Leng Ding heard about the transfer, his face turned red and he said: "There are rumors in the commune? Han Bo, what did the commune say?" "Drink tea, drink tea." Han Xuanzi poured tea from the pot attentively.He always drank tea with half tea leaves and half water, the black red water juice, Wang Cai took a sip and it was so bitter and bitter, but Han Xuanzi drank it with gusto: "If it was someone else, I wouldn't bother to care about it." The thing is, the countryside is free now, but the country has policies, and the courts have criminal laws, whichever one we commit is none of our business! But we deserve to be from the same village, and you grew up under my own eyes, can I not care? Tell Bo Shi, what's going on?" Wang Cai explained the ins and outs of transferring the three acres of land to the bald dog.Now, he is not as proud as he was when he came here and as shrewd as he was when he was asking about the public house, he kept begging Han Xuanzi, asking if he violated the law? "You are so bold!" Han Xuanzi said, "Think about it, what is the nature of the land being given up like this? How good is the policy that the country distributes land to individuals, and your king is not entirely entrusted with this policy." Fu? Why do you dare to sublet the land to others? Wang Cai, you must have confidence in your heart, if you can’t have a snake, you will swallow an elephant!" Wang Cai said: "Good Han Bo, I'm also a young man with little experience. I heard that there is such a precedent in Henan. When I thought that I didn't have enough manpower and the dog left couldn't do anything else, I transferred it to him. Tell me, I what should I do now?" "Then it's up to you." Han Xuanzi said. "I'll listen to you. Uncle Han." Wang Cai said, "I won't sell the dog left over there. It's in the commune. I still need you to keep talking, and just let it go." Han Xuanzi said: "What kind of person am I? People in the commune will listen to me?" Wang Cai said: "You always stretch out your fingers and they are thicker than my waist. You must be concerned about this matter, and you can eliminate this disaster for me." The youngest daughter went to buy "Peony" cigarettes, but never came back.But Erbei and Baiyin entered the door. They heard voices from the upper room in the yard, so they went into the kitchen and asked Niang: "Are those diners from the commune compound coming again?" Niang said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who cares to have a bite of food! Why did you come back so soon?" Silver says: "Yezi hired a lot of helpers, how can we be used!" Mother had already baked a large pancake in the pot, but Erbei stretched out her hand and unscrewed a large piece, stuffed it in her mouth and ate it. Baiyin was not her own, and she lived in another room, so she didn't have the courage to eat it.The mother said angrily: "Your tiger mouth, can a cake withstand two twists? I separated you out, and I made up my mind every day. The rest of you, the couple will have a good meal; the door is tightly closed. Eat on the kang!" Bai Yin had already entered her mansion, complaining that her feet were hurting, so she changed the pair of slippers again.While eating, Erbei smiled at her mother and said: "Who told me that I am your son? The world is old, but love is young, so you love your little son!" After that, he took the cake and went into the building, and came out again, but his hand was empty. He listened for a while under the window of the upper house, and then walked into the kitchen again.Mother said: "Look, I told you to twist such a big piece, so I'm worried about my daughter-in-law again, how shameless!" Er Bei said: "The house is not from the commune, but Wang Cai?" "Well," said Mother, "it's been a long time." "What did you say to my father?" "Who knows, I caught a few words. It was your father who reprimanded the king for not transferring the land, saying that it was illegal." Er Bei said: "My father is really too busy. We are not the president, not the team leader. We retire at home and have a lot of leisure time. We care about this and that. If it's good, don't talk about it. If it's bad, it will offend others, neighbors, how will we get along with each other in the future!" Niang said: "You're about to shut up your stinky mouth! No one looks down on your father in this town, but you are the only ones who hate it. It seems that you are more capable than your father!" Er Bei said: "Don't look at my father, he is not as good as me in rural affairs. He is talking about this and that based on his age, and it is outdated. How can it adapt to the current situation? We can't talk about him. If you say that you use the status of an old man to suppress someone, you don't persuade him." Niang said: "What should I persuade? In this family, when did I become the shopkeeper, and when did the big and small talk? Your father is old, so it's not like he has him, but you and your wife are too disobedient, which makes your father even more angry. Lose your temper after drinking! You tell Baiyin that she will wear those slippers again, and I will burn them in the stove!" Erbei was so choked that he had nothing to say, stood in the yard for a while, and said to his mother: "Okay, you bake us another cake this morning. Baiyin and I went to our lotus vegetable field to dig lotus vegetables. Others have already started digging. On the 15th, we need to 'send the road'. We use a lot of lotus vegetables. Those of you There are not enough lotus vegetables, so I won’t sell the ones from my field, and I will dig them up and give them to you to see if Baiyin and I are filial sons and daughters-in-law?!” The young couple carried the hoe, picked up the cage and went out. In this town, among the local products, lotus vegetables are as famous as Shangzhi.Traveling all over the world, Shangzhi is unique.Shaped like a fist, they are all rolled inside. The taste is the same as cooked meat, but it is more refreshing and fresh than meat.Although lotus vegetables are not an exclusive product, in the whole Qinling Mountains, lotus vegetables have seven or eight eyes.Only the lotus vegetables here are eleven eyes, dumplings are made for stuffing, and cold dishes are crispy.It never changes from black to red, and is as white as bleached white powder.After the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.Every market in the town, one street and two rows are full of Yushangzhi, fresh lotus vegetables, and people from far and near come to fight for it. When the land was divided, Han Xuanzi's family did not share the lotus vegetable land, but he paid attention to "you can't live at home." No bamboo, no lotus", so he planted lotus vegetables in a few parts of the field.Later, one family was divided into two families, and the lotus vegetable field was divided into five.This year, the lotus vegetables are growing well, and the prices at the market are rising day by day. Baiyin has long planned to sell a load or two of them at the market in the twelfth lunar month, and buy a sewing machine.But if you want to "send the way" to Ye Zi, Er Bei advocates that one should not be sold, and all should be handed over to the parents.Baiyin vomited a lot, but couldn't twist twice.This time I came to the lotus vegetable field, but I just stood on the edge of the field and refused to enter the mud and water.Erbei was sweating profusely and dug a lot, which made people around to watch the fun, and no one did not praise the lotus vegetable for its fatness and tenderness. "How can our lotus vegetables compare with Mr. Han's? They have chemical fertilizers, so what should we use?" someone said. "It doesn't taste good with chemical fertilizers on it. Erbei, this is for sale, right? What's the price?" another said. "Not for sale." Erbei said. Immediately someone asked: "Should I 'send the way' for your sister? How many seats are you preparing? Do you want us to go?" Er Bei said: "Who did you hear that from?" The man said: "Wang Cai yelled in the village just now, saying that your father said it." Erbei didn't speak anymore, and complained to her father in her heart: Didn't you say that you should not make a fuss when you entertain guests? Why did you tell Wang Cai?When Wang Cai yelled in the village, everyone came. Can thirty seats or forty seats stop it?Wouldn't it be embarrassing if things were not prepared at that time?I won't dig any more, I'll tell my father when I go back, and let my father block the villagers early, so as not to turn the world upside down. As soon as the young couple entered the yard, the father and mother were arguing.It turned out that Erbei Niang told Wang Cai after Wang Cai had left and told him about Baihui at Wang Cai's house. Han Xuanzi was furious and said it was a shame. He would rather see the wall collapsed and collapsed than beg Wang Cai! He scolded his wife Feeling aggrieved, she leaned on the door frame and cried.Erbei and Baiyin were busy with one blocking his father and the other persuading his mother, but Han Xuanzi pushed Erbei away and scolded: "Second baby, flies don't bite seamless eggs, you are so angry with me, everyone outside comes to see the joke, and they all come to take the opportunity to tear down the stage, listen, if you want to repair this screen wall, you can fix it, if you don't fix it, you can fix it. Push it down, if you want to destroy this family, I will burn down the whole yard with a single fire!" Er Bei was too frightened to say anything, so she didn't have a chance to tell Dad about the matter of "sending off" blocking passengers.
