There is An Apocalyptic Man in the Village

Dumplings are delicious but hard to make, but for country folks like Lin Laogen and Zhou Geer who are used to work, making dumplings is very simple.

Kneading dough and chopping stuffing, division of labor and cooperation, within half an hour, the kitchen stove is filled with a chubby dumpling, once the water boils, the dumpling is thrown down and rolled, it is very delicious and gratifying. Wu Qingyuan whetted his appetite.

Others in the kitchen were also drooling, and Lin Tianbao, who came back from buying pig's knuckles, jumped up happily. The food in the village was poor, and there was always porridge with steamed buns and wild vegetables, and delicious pork and cabbage dumplings. This is only eaten during the Chinese New Year. All hungry.

After filling the pots and pouring vinegar, everyone gathered around the stone platform under the big tree in the yard.

Lin Laogen was still angry about the pig's feet, and decided not to sit in the same room with his mother. He was so stubborn, but he called the two little girls from the second room to eat dumplings together.

"Brother Wu, you can live in your house in two days. Uncle Er will take a look at it for you tomorrow, and pick a good day before moving..."

While eating dumplings, Lin Laogen said that people in the village are superstitious, and they have to pick a date to hold a wedding.

"Brother Zhou and I don't understand these things. Uncle, you can help me to understand. There is something I want to discuss with you, Uncle Lin."

Wu Qingyuan didn't believe this, but he did as the Romans did, munching on dumplings and nodding.

Brother Lin Amo Zhou and a few children also ate big mouthfuls. Listening to the conversation of the two 'elders', the two teenagers took the time to make dumplings for Lin Laogen and Wu Qingyuan respectively. The atmosphere on the table was warm and pleasant. lively.

"What are you talking about, if you have something to say, just say it."

Lin Laogen was very happy, and at this time, discussing things with him was basically responsive.

Wu Qingyuan was not hypocritical, and while eating dumplings, he slowly said that he wanted to build a charcoal kiln to burn charcoal to make money.

He had this idea when he heard people in the village mention carbon when he was repairing the house before, but he has never had the chance to say it because he has been so busy with the settlement and repair of the house during this period of time.

The amount of gold he brought from modern times is quite large, enough for him to live his whole life, but it is not his character to live on savings like this. No matter whether he has money or not, he must find something to do. Money is something that no one thinks too much.

He has some ideas about his future life plan. After working in the employment business for so long in the previous life, and fighting with people in the base after the end of the world, he is already tired of that complicated life, and now he wants to live a peaceful life.

These days, he has also carefully observed the life in this world. After thinking about it for a few days, he found that the villagers here are really poor.

Although you can’t die from starvation, the distribution of asset levels is very uneven. Each household does not own much assets. Take the land on which they live, most households only have a few acres bought by themselves, and the rest They are all rented fields from the family members of the landlords, who pay a large amount of money or grain as rent every year.

This phenomenon has led to the fact that rich people can become richer and richer by sitting and not working, while poor families can only struggle on the line of food and clothing, and their ancestors have lived in the fields for generations, unless the children and grandchildren of that generation are given the opportunity to rise up, the class hierarchy The differentiation is obvious.

Although Wu Qingyuan was a little sympathetic, this is a social phenomenon in this era, and it cannot be changed overnight.

He naturally didn't want himself and his descendants to work hard in the soil, so he planned to buy some land slowly in the future and become a rent collector.

Then, like other members, open some grain stores, restaurants, etc. in the town or in the county. If the descendants succeed in the future, then there will be no worries for several generations, and his wood-type ability is also very suitable for this. Aspects of development.

But these things cannot be completed in a short period of time. Now that there are other opportunities to make money, he has no reason to give up when he encounters them.

After inquiring about this ancient world from old man Zhou, he had a little idea and downloaded a lot of information from the Internet. Regardless of whether he thought it was useful or not, the ancient world that settled down with thousands of years of advanced knowledge is the pen. Treasures are all printed out as materials and stuffed into the space. Anyway, a few sheets of paper don't take up space.

As old man Zhou was here at the beginning, he had limited contact with things, so most of the stories he told him were about the life of the common people here, how life is difficult, not enough to eat and not warm, etc., which made him think that this place is so backward that almost It was almost a primitive world, so the most materials he prepared were about basic necessities of life, such as food, housing and transportation.

His memory is very good, and there are a lot of information. Although he can't remember all of them, he has a general impression of what he has prepared and gone through in his mind.

He remembered that there were some methods of burning carbon in the materials he downloaded.

In the past few days, he has inquired about it without any trace. The people here actually know how to burn charcoal, but if they want to burn it well, it is a handicraft. It is said that there is a particularly large amount of smoke when using it, and it is so smoked that it cannot be used indoors, otherwise it will be carbon poisoning if you are not careful, and you will die.

So when winter comes, the villagers have to spend money to buy good carbon in order to survive the winter. Even if it costs more than ten yuan a catty, they have to grit their teeth to buy it, otherwise they will not be able to survive the whole winter.

Therefore, this kind of large demand has led to huge profits from selling carbon here. Anyone who can burn charcoal will get rich. Mastering the monopoly, ordinary people can't shake the foundation of making money for these outsiders at all, they can only drink some broth.

"Brother Wu, don't blame uncle for talking too much. Burning charcoal is a technical job. Before that, the man from the Chen family in our village knew how to burn charcoal. A man with a big heart, went bankrupt to repair a charcoal kiln, and prepared to do big business, but it is not that simple to use a kiln to burn it. The whole kiln’s charcoal is good and it will make a lot of money, but if it accidentally burns out, it will have to pay for it. , the Chen family was originally the richest in our village, but now it is the poorest in our village. All the land and good houses are gone, and the family relies on helpers in the town to make a living..."

After hearing Wu Qingyuan's idea of ​​burning charcoal to make money, Lin Laogen was worried and disagreed.

If Wu Qingyuan really knows how to burn charcoal, then he can make a good living by burning some by himself every year, but Wu Qingyuan wants to build a kiln to burn charcoal. Hundreds of thousands of catties of wood have to be used for burning. If this is not done properly, the loss will be very huge.

Lin Laogen worried about Wu Qingyuan, and Lin Amo and Zhou Geer also looked at him. The two teenagers didn't understand these business matters, but they knew about the Chen family burning carbon to lose money in the village, and they were more worried. To repair the kiln and then burn the charcoal, a large amount of money must be invested in the early stage before making money.

"Brother Wu, don't you know how to heal diseases? You can make money in our village or in the town, and you are also famous..."

Lin Laogen helped him think of a way. The thing about Zhou Geer and his promise to treat Lin Amo's face made him mistakenly think that Wu Qingyuan would heal the disease. Since he has such a good skill, why do he do business? Being a doctor is like doing business and receiving people Respect, the lowest social status is businessmen.

"Uncle Lin, I'm good at medicine. I'm not good enough to be a doctor. I've considered the pros and cons of burning charcoal. I want to try it."

My supernatural ability does have a healing effect, but the scope is limited. Healing some trauma and poisoning is okay, but it is not qualified to treat people. He is a supernatural being, not a god, and not omnipotent. It is easy to get into a life lawsuit.

As for the pros and cons of burning carbon, Wu Qingyuan had already considered the pros and cons, and he was also prepared to lose money.

But generally speaking, he is still very confident. He also heard about the Chen family matter that Lin Laogen said when he inquired about it. He analyzed it carefully based on the information provided by the villagers. To work in a charcoal kiln is to learn the skill of burning charcoal first-hand. The reason why I failed to start a business at home and lost money is, in the final analysis, because I don’t have enough capital.

The key to burning charcoal is not only the technique, but also the wood used for charcoal burning. The quality of the charcoal produced by good wood is good. The charcoal burned by the villagers themselves is not good because of the wrong wood. It is also because of the failure of the Chen family to burn charcoal. , After repairing the kiln, there is no capital to buy good wood, and the carbon produced is naturally not good, so it is not surprising to lose money.

This is the difficulty and sorrow of starting a business without money, but he is different. He has enough money to do this business, and even if he loses in the end, it will not cause a fatal blow to him. At most, he will lose a few hundred taels It's just silver.

"Well, since you are so confident, then uncle won't stop you, but it's really costly and time-consuming to repair the kiln yourself. The two carbon kilns that the Chen family built at the beginning are still there, and they have been vacant. , I will take it to discuss with the man from the Chen family, and let his family sell you the ready-made kiln. If you do a good job, you will be able to make money this winter."

Seeing that Wu Qingyuan didn't intend to change his mind, Lin Laogen didn't try to persuade him even though he was worried. He stopped trying to find a way to help.

Looking at Wu Qingyuan's appearance, he is also a man of his own mind, and the things he has decided will not change. If the other party really has the confidence to make things happen, that is also a good thing.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin, I really trouble you..."

Wu Qingyuan showed joy, and nodded with his hands clasped. He was so lucky to meet Lin Laogen who was so enthusiastic and always worried about others. If it was someone else, who would have so much spare time to help him run away with an irrelevant person? run west.

Although Lin Laogen has been helping him for a large part because he promised to treat Lin Amo's face, but it is not without sincerity. Every time he has something to do, Lin Laogen will help him with his heart. He thought of a way to take care of him as if he were his junior.

"No, no, anyway, our village is close to the town, so we can just go to the town tomorrow..."

Lin Laogen was very pleased with Wu Qingyuan's polite and polite attitude, his old face bloomed with a smile, and he even said that you are welcome. After the Chen family's charcoal burning business failed, the whole family went to the town to help people work and live. Go for a run around town.

"Father, you don't need to go to town, just go to Zhang's house tomorrow."

The talkative Lin Amo listened for a long time, and finally found a chance to intervene. He and Brother Zhou looked at each other, raised his head and said something.

"To the Zhang family?"

Wu Qing didn't understand the reason, the charcoal kiln belonged to the Chen family, why did they go to the Zhang family?

Lin Laogen also looked over, but he didn't quite understand.

"Father, I heard that Uncle Chen's family is going back to the village to live again. Aunt Chen is going back to the village to clean up the old house. Now she is staying at Brother Dazhu's house..."

Lin Amo continued to answer, with a smile on his face.

"The Chen family and Dazhu's mother are sisters, and the two families are relatives. It's okay to go to the Chen family woman to talk about it."

My own child knows best, Lin Laogen doesn't know what kind of attention Lin Amo is calling, he is very helpless, why did he give birth to such a ghostly baby, put a dumpling in his son's bowl, and then nodded to Wu Qingyuan explain.

"Yes, cousin, Aunt Chen is brother Da Zhu's aunt." Brother Zhou also nodded shyly.

"Oh, it's Zhang Dazhu who helped us repair the house before, right..."

Wu Qingyuan glanced around between the smiling Lin Amo and the shy Zhou Ge'er, and finally his eyes fell on Lin Amo with a ghostly face, and he suddenly understood.

For such a big matter as buying and selling carbon kilns, if you don't go to the man from the Chen family, you have to lure him to the Zhang family, and then discuss it with the woman from the Chen family.

There are so many ghost ideas!

Wu Qingyuan stared at Lin Amo who was secretly winking at Brother Zhou sitting opposite him, put down his chopsticks, and smiled slightly on his handsome face.
