Chapter 204: Beating around the bush...
"Hey! That's definitely not possible. If it were, everyone wouldn't be hungry."
"...I don't know how much food I'll get this year. I'm already looking forward to it."
…
Lin Tang didn't know that the additional effects of the locust-killing medicine she made last time had been discovered by her fellow villagers.
She was feeding the pigs in the backyard with Goudan and the others.
Someone cleans the Lin family's pigpen in the morning, noon and evening.
The taste is strong, but not unbearable.
“…Hehehe…”
Three pigs, several times larger than they were, were digging at the stone trough.
They are all plump and look very energetic.
Lin Tang looked at the pig that had grown fatter after not seeing it for a while and said with a smile:
"This pig has gotten so fat!"
Goudan said hurriedly, as if offering a treasure: "Of course, my father and my second and third uncles feed him several times a day."
"My brother, sister and I also cut a lot of grass to feed the pigs."
"Grandma said we'll make dumplings after we sell the pigs!"
Meat dumplings are delicious and he never gets tired of eating them every day.
Niuniu added, "Grandma also said she would buy me a red hairband."
Hu Tou said unintentionally, "Your hair hasn't grown out yet, so you won't be able to use it even if you buy it."
Choudan stared blankly at Niuniu's hair and covered his mouth with his hands to laugh.
When Niu Niu heard what her brother said, her face turned red with anger.
Her voice was soft but she couldn't hide her anger. "...My hair will grow back."
Lin Tang found the bickering between the little guys quite interesting.
However, this tiger head seems to be a bit naturally black.
Goudan, a little kid, waved his hands and said, "You guys go aside first. I'm going to chop pig grass. Don't hurt you."
The three stinky eggs took three steps back.
After feeding the pigs, Lin Tang took the four little ones back to the yard to wash their hands.
"Tangtang..."
Qin Suqing jumped off the bicycle and shouted towards the Lin family's gate.
When Goudan heard the sound, he ran to open the door without even wiping his face.
"Sister Qing, my aunt is at home."
Lin Tang walked out the door and looked at Qin Suqing, "...Why are you here?"
Qin Suqing pushed her bicycle into the house and looked at the vegetable garden in the yard as soon as she entered.
Seeing that there were a lot of vegetables in the vegetable garden, her eyes lit up.
"I'm here to buy groceries."
Lin Tang was surprised, "Buying groceries?"
Qin Suqing pointed at the vegetables in the garden and said, "Yes, buy vegetables. The more the better."
"If you want vegetables, just pick them. Why bring them to buy?" Lin Tang had an expression that said, "You are too polite."
After saying that, he stuffed a big basket into Goudan’s hand.
"Goudan, go pick some vegetables."
"Why!"
Goudan responded crisply, twisted his body and stepped into the vegetable garden.
"Oh, Tangtang, you misunderstood. It's not that I want food. This matter is a bit complicated. Let me explain it to you first!" Qin Suqing shook her head and said.
Then, he told Lin Tang about Ji Yao.
After finishing the job, he took out five dollars.
"Hey, this is the money Yaoyao's mother gave me for buying groceries."
After saying that, he looked at Lin Tang eagerly.
Lin Tang thought about it and felt that this little girl named Yaoyao might have anorexia.
The fact that she could eat her own vegetables might be related to the spiritual liquid used to water them.
The dishes cooked with spiritual liquid not only taste good, but also have health-promoting effects.
The little girl is really picky.
"I can only sell you one basket at most. After all, we have a big family and consume a lot every day." Lin Tang said.
The most important thing is not to cause trouble.
Qin Suqing naturally agreed, "Okay, let's take one basket first."
As for what to do after eating? We'll talk about it later.
After buying the vegetables, Qin Suqing hurried home on her bicycle.
Yaoyao is still waiting for this life-saving dish!
Lin Tang and the four little ones watched her leave, and the aunt and nephew went to the Tang family's old house.
Several brick and tile houses have been donated to the brigade and are now being renovated.
The village originally planned to build a sauce factory and wanted to build a factory building.
It just so happened that the Tang family donated their brick house, so several cadres of the brigade thought of renovating it to save money, time and effort.
The guys from the reconstruction team are working overtime at night, so there aren't many people around at this time.
The house is spacious and clean.
The windows are bright.
There are several stoves and a row of tables.
It looks extremely simple.
"Aunt, when will our brigade's factory open?" Hu Tou asked happily as he looked at the brick house.
His mother asked his father about it last night.
If he knew this from his aunt, he could take the information to his mother and exchange it for candy.
Lin Tang thought for a moment and said, "I'm afraid it will be after paying the public grain tax."
Harvesting grain now is the most important thing.
The entire brigade depends on this harvest for its livelihood.
The matter of the sauce factory must be put on the back burner.
After the factory building is built, electricity must be connected first, and there are many things to do.
Goudan then asked, "Aunt, is this factory like this? I saw a lot of things in the factory where you worked, why are they different?"
Lin Tang patted his little head.
Goudan has a head of hair that is neither long nor short. It is prickly but soft and quite comfortable.
"It's not ready yet! We need to power it up first, fix the machines, contact and purchase packaging bottles, and recruit workers. How do we recruit them? Who will be responsible for what? How do we manage the factory? There are so many problems." Lin Tang replied.
After paying the tax, she tried to make the machine and transport it back to the village.
To run a sauce factory, a sterilization, cooling and air drying machine is essential.
With this thing, not only can the efficiency of the factory be improved, but more importantly, the health and hygiene of the sauce can be guaranteed.
Lin Tang knew that this kind of machine probably didn't exist these days.
She planned to collect some old machines for parts, replace the large parts from the system, and modify several machines.
Although I haven't done it, it should be possible.
After all, she had just won the intermediate mechanic skill two days ago.
If it doesn't work, try a few more times and it should work.
Goudan scratched the back of his head in confusion and said with a smile, "I don't quite understand. It's quite complicated, hehe."
Then he sighed and praised.
"Aunt, you are so awesome!"
Everyone will be happy when praised sincerely.
Lin Tang's eyebrows curved, but he said: "What's the big deal? There are many talented people out there. If you study hard, you can become powerful too."
Goudan rolled his eyes and said cunningly, "We'll listen to our aunt."
"But now that we've seen all this, can we go back and listen to the radio? Niuniu and I will learn from the stories."
Finding ways to listen to the radio.
Lin Tang: I’m afraid I need to change a few more boxes of batteries, otherwise they won’t be enough for Goudan and his friends!
When the three Hutou guys heard the radio, their eyes lit up and they looked at their aunt expectantly.
Lin Tang understood.
This is a sugar-coated way of asking for radio listening.
She smiled and pinched Goudan's little nose.
"You little rascal, if you want to listen, just listen. Why are you beating around the bush?"
But she was still very happy that her nephew was so smart.
Goudan looked innocent and let his aunt do whatever she wanted.
A few steps away——
“Puff…”
Tang Kairui laughed when he saw this scene.
A young man in black clothes and black pants leaned lazily against the tree at the door, his eyes full of spring light and a smile.
