Chapter 31 Chapter 31 (Minor Revision) Wang Jiangang...

Wang Jiangang was so excited holding his hunting rifle, but before he found the wild boars, the group of wild boars came to his door.

Unexpectedly, the wild boars were like spirits, fighting guerrilla warfare with them. When they were patrolling in the east of the brigade, the wild boars would go to the west to cause trouble.

Not only did they not encounter any wild boar hairs in half a day, but the rice fields were also destroyed by wild boars, and the corn fields were saved. Wang Jiangang and his men felt a little guilty, but then they thought that the crops destroyed by these animals had nothing to do with them.

In the afternoon, the militia team changed shifts and set off firecrackers every half hour. The wild boars disappeared in the fields.

The rain finally stopped, but the sun didn't come out and the sky was gloomy, and it looked like it would continue to rain.

Chen Ying sneaked into the old bachelor's house and saw Wang Jiangang and others were holding a small meeting. They were very annoyed that they could only watch the wild boar but could not catch it.

On the way here, Chen Ying found out how to catch wild boars. She demanded that the seller of pork must take her along as she wanted a kickback.

Wang Jiangang agreed to give her 20%, but Chen Ying bargained down to 50%.

After determining her share, she suggested: "In fact, just pile the fermented corn distiller's grains in the middle of the rice field. This has a strong smell that attracts wild boars, and then set up simple rope traps around them. The wild boars will go straight to the bait. The traps are concentrated and efficient."

Zhang Mazi was skeptical, "Can corn distiller's grains attract wild boars?"

Chen Ying was unsure, so she pretended to be confident: "The corn fields have already been damaged, so we'll know after a try. Doesn't every household have extra corn piled up at home?"

They couldn't think of any other solution, so they could only see if Chen Ying's method was feasible.

Hu Gou Wa was worried: "We have to set traps in the rice fields? Can we find an open area? Our brigade has already seen a reduction in production this year. If we allow wild boars to cause more trouble, we will have nothing to eat next year."

No matter how stupid he was, he knew that millet was food. If the rice fields were destroyed, many people in the brigade would not have enough food to eat.

The old bachelor and Zhang Mazi both began to waver at the same time.

Chen Ying's heart hardened. "Wild boars are easier to catch when they gather together. If you don't believe in my plan, then I can't do anything else."

Wang Jiangang gritted his teeth and made the final decision: "If our traps are well made, we can catch at least seven or eight wild boars. Then each family can get a few dozen yuan. Besides, this is a natural disaster for our brigade, so we definitely don't have to pay agricultural taxes this year."

Since Wang Jiangang said that we don’t have to pay agricultural taxes, everyone decided to give it a try.

Chen Ying secretly sweated, hoping that her method would be useful so that she could use Wang Jiangang and others to help her make more money in the future.

After waking up, Cheng Xin cooked a bowl of noodles. She remembered that the last time I was waiting for Yun Ye and passed by the entrance of the cinema, someone was frying melon seeds and peanuts.

She hadn't dreamed about her past life for a long time. She remembered that in her dream, she had to watch a movie with milk tea and popcorn. She couldn't afford milk tea, so how could she make popcorn?

Cheng Xin called her brother over and said, "Go get me a bowl of last year's corn from the barn, and I'll make you something delicious."

Cheng Lei walked into the house with his shoulders drooping: "It's corn cake again, I know."

"Really not, I lied to you that you are a puppy."

Cheng Xin took a bowl and peeled some tender corn. She didn't know whether popcorn needed tender corn or old corn, so she tried both.

Cheng Xin first poured the tender corn into the pan, the oil splashed in the pan, and a plate of fragrant fried corn came out fresh from the oven.

Cheng Lei sniffed wildly at the kitchen window, "What a nice smell, sister, what good day is today? You actually fried something in oil."

Cheng Xin was speechless and just wanted to roll her eyes, "This is a failed experiment. I need to implement the second plan."

Last year's corn was put into the oil pan and it exploded in a short time. Popcorn consumes a lot of oil, but fortunately it can be reused, otherwise she would be heartbroken.

There was a bowl of fried corn kernels and a bowl of popcorn on the eight-immortals table in the main hall.

The good news is that she learned how to make popcorn, but the bad news is that she had to use old corn, not tender corn. Wang Jiangang was so excited holding his hunting rifle, but before he could find the wild boars, they came to him.

Unexpectedly, the wild boars were like spirits, engaging in guerrilla warfare with them. When they were patrolling in the east of the brigade, the wild boars would go to the west to cause trouble.

Not only did they not encounter a single hair of the wild boar in half a day, but the rice fields were also destroyed by the wild boars. However, the corn fields were saved.

Wang Jiangang and his men felt a little guilty, but then they thought that the crops destroyed by these animals had nothing to do with them.

After waking up, Cheng Xin cooked a bowl of noodles. She remembered that last time she and Geng Yunye passed by the entrance of the cinema, she saw someone frying melon seeds and peanuts, and an idea came to her mind.

She hadn't dreamed about her previous life for a long time. In her dream, she watched a movie with milk tea and popcorn. She couldn't afford milk tea, so how could she make popcorn?

Cheng Xin waved to her brother and said, "Go get me a bowl of last year's corn from the barn, and I'll make you something delicious."

"Really not, I lied to you that you are a puppy."

Cheng Xin took a bowl and peeled some tender corn. She didn't know whether popcorn needed tender corn or old corn, so she tried both.

Cheng Xin asked her brother to help light the fire. She first poured the tender corn into the hot oil. The oil splashed in the pan, and a plate of fragrant fried corn came out of the pan.

Cheng Lei stood in front of the stove and sniffed wildly, "What a nice smell, sister, what good day is today? You're actually frying something in oil."

Cheng Xin was speechless and just wanted to roll her eyes, "This is a failed experiment. I need to implement the second plan."

Last year's corn was put into the oil pan and it exploded in a short time. Popcorn consumes a lot of oil, but fortunately it can be reused, otherwise she would be heartbroken.

There was a bowl of fried corn and a bowl of popcorn on the eight-immortals table in the main hall.

The good news is that she learned how to make popcorn, but the bad news is that she has to use old corn, not tender corn.

Cheng Xin didn't believe it, there must be a way to deal with the tender corn. It's not that the corn can't be sold as boiled corn, but the corn has been trampled by wild boars, so it doesn't look good, and the price will definitely not be high.

She peeled another bowl of tender corn and asked her brother to clean the millstone.

Cheng Lei stuffed a handful of popcorn into his mouth: "Sister, what are you going to do?"

Cheng Xin wiped the sweat from her forehead, her bangs stuck together, "Don't ask yet, it may not work."

She squatted under the eaves to peel corn. Cheng Lei's legs were shaking. He held on to the millstone with all his might and kept shouting, "Sister! The millstone is heavier than a bag of corn!"

"Put more effort!" Cheng Xin grabbed a handful of corn kernels and stuffed them into the millstone. Her brother pushed the millstone with a grimace. She scooped up a ladle of well water and poured it in. The milky white juice flowed out through the cracks in the stones.

Beads of sweat dripped down Cheng Lei's forehead. His thin body was stretched like a bow. He was so tired that he was panting after turning the millstone only three times.

The iron pot on the stove was bubbling, and Cheng Xin was stirring the thick corn pulp with a long-handled spoon.

"Take a break!" Cheng Lei sat slumped on the firewood pile, and suddenly saw his sister pouring something into the iron pot, "Sister, you hid the wild honey!"

Cheng Xin hid the pot behind her back and ordered her brother with a smile: "If you want something sweet, grind the remaining half basin of corn for me!"

Cheng Lei worked very hard to grind half a basin of corn. Cheng Xin experimented with several types of corn juice with different sweetness levels, and finally decided that 70% sugar was just the right sweetness, which would not be too greasy when paired with caramel popcorn.

Cheng Lei held his round belly and burped: "Sister, are we going to sell corn juice?"

Cheng Xin squatted in front of the stove, holding her chin with both hands and looking up, with the sleeves of her cotton shirt slid down to her elbows. "What do you think it tastes like? Can you sell it?"

Cheng Lei nodded vigorously: "I think it tastes better than orange soda. It will definitely taste better if it is frozen!"

Since the foodie brother thought it was feasible, Cheng Xin took action and immediately mobilized the whole family and the aunt to attend a meeting.

Wang Xiuping's eyes were dull, and she looked like a walking corpse. Most of the corn in her field had been trampled down. If it had been eaten by wild boars, she would have considered herself unlucky, but those animals just destroyed the crops as if they were venting their anger. She didn't know what evil had befallen her.

Cheng Xin let everyone taste the popcorn and corn juice, and deliberately kept it a secret.

"How do you think it tastes?"

Wang Xiuping took a sip and put down the bowl, saying she had no appetite: "Half an acre of corn is ruined. I can't drink corn soup every day."

Xu Fengxia saw that her daughter had something else in her words and patted her hand gently: "Don't keep us in suspense. Your aunt is feeling bad."

Cheng Xin made sweet popcorn and salty popcorn. She preferred the caramel-flavored popcorn made with honey.

"Aunt, the corn juice is not for us to drink, but to be sold for money."

When she heard about money, Wang Xiuping's eyes lit up instantly: "How to sell? Is it like the last time when I sold dried goods?" The dried goods were sold for twenty yuan, and her heart was filled with hope again.

Xu Fengxia had long guessed her daughter's thoughts. Ever since her daughter made money from selling dried goods, she has been particularly sensitive to making money. She herself has no ability, so it is a good thing that her daughter can find a way to make money.

"Yes, last time we went to sell dry goods, I passed by the entrance of the cinema and saw someone setting up a stall to sell roasted goods. There were a lot of people buying them, and almost everyone entered the cinema with something in their hands."

Wang Xiuping quickly picked up the bowl and gulped down a few mouthfuls of corn juice. She put the bowl down and wiped her mouth with her sleeve: "It tastes good, it will definitely sell well!"
