Chapter 133: The shock of the friends, sawing the tree
"Not bad, you made a lot of money."
Lin Heng said with a smile, and continued walking forward with his daughter and wife.
Jin Hai said loudly: "Of course not. We went to Ancheng in the past few months. It is much bigger than Taibai City. We bought this motorcycle with the money we earned there."
"Very good." Lin Heng smiled.
Zhao Hu looked at Lin Heng and said proudly: "Lin Heng, do you regret it now? I told you that farming at home had no future. You should have had a share of this motorcycle."
He wanted to see an expression of regret on Lin Heng's face, but Lin Heng was very calm from beginning to end, without even a hint of envy.
Liu Sheng and Jin Hai were also a little confused. On the way they had imagined Lin Heng's regretful and annoyed expression when he saw them making a lot of money.
But when he was in front of Lin Heng, he didn't seem to care at all.
Liu Sheng got out of the car and ran to Lin Heng: "Lin Heng, we bought this motorcycle, aren't you envious?"
"I'm quite envious." Lin Heng nodded.
"Hehe, do you want to go with us?" Liu Sheng said with a smile.
I also felt strange that although Lin Heng said he was envious, he didn't have that kind of expression at all.
"Lin Heng, if you apologize now, I can reluctantly forgive your previous behavior and take you to make a fortune together." Zhao Hu parked the car on the side of the road and walked over to say.
"No, my wife is pretty and my daughter is cute, why should I go out and suffer?"
Lin Heng shook his head, then left with his daughter.
Zhao Hu: “???”
He couldn't understand. Lin Heng always talked about getting rich, but now that he himself had become rich, why did he have such a calm expression?
The three of us looked at each other. It didn't seem like we were dreaming. Why was the scene different from what we had imagined?
Even the villagers in Murakami didn't seem to be too shocked. This is a motorcycle, are you kidding me? After Lin Heng left, Zhao Hu rode his bike directly to the ginkgo tree.
Seeing a group of old men here, Zhao Hu stopped and asked the old man who was chatting and enjoying the cool breeze while carrying his meal: "What happened in the village?"
"Nothing." Uncle Liu shook his head.
Zhao Hu was even more confused: "Did something happen to Lin Heng and he became stupid?"
"You are showing off your motorcycles, others will definitely not be envious." Someone laughed.
"That's right, you found the wrong person. If someone wants to buy, they can buy five or six." Mr. Liu Sanye also said.
Zhao Hu shook his head repeatedly, feeling more and more like he was dreaming: "Impossible, don't I know how poor Lin Heng is?"
"That's right, who are you trying to fool? If he can buy five or six motorcycles, I'll stand on my head and eat shit!" Jin Hai was even more disdainful. How could this old man be so boastful?
Liu Sheng hit himself hard and grimaced in pain.
"No wonder they don't want to play with you anymore. They can show off everywhere just by buying a motorcycle. They have become big bosses and are extremely polite and humble when they meet people. There's such a big gap between you two." Uncle Liu glanced at Jin Hai with a sarcastic look on his face.
"He became the boss? How did he become the boss?" Zhao Hu stopped Jin Hai and asked curiously at Liu Sanye.
Uncle Liu laughed and said, "How else can he do that? He got rich step by step by hunting, and now he has opened a purchasing station and a store. He is not much better than you idiots."
"Opened a purchasing station and a store? That's impossible!" Zhao Hu was shocked. It would cost several thousand yuan.
"That's right, Old Liu, who are you trying to fool?" Jin Hai was the first one who didn't believe it.
He has always regarded Lin Heng as his rival and wanted to become the second-in-command under Zhao Hu. Now he has finally achieved his wish, but when he heard the news that Lin Heng had become rich, how could he believe it?
Without them, Lin Heng made more money? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"Everyone in the village knows about it, go and ask yourself." Uncle Liu San was too lazy to pay attention to this silly boy.
When someone told them the details of what had happened in the past few months, the three were stunned.
"I made six or seven thousand from selling Coriolus polypore! I really opened a purchasing station and a store." Zhao Hu felt terrible.
"I don't believe it!" Jin Hai shook his head, thinking that they were being deliberately deceived.
How could Lin Heng be so successful?
Liu Sheng, as Lin Heng’s childhood friend, hoped that this was true, but it felt unreal. Did Lin Heng really become famous?
Zhao Hu said something to the two of them and asked them to go home and inquire about the situation.
After hearing this information from his family, Zhao Hu sat down and remained silent.
Jin Hai was so envious and jealous that he gnashed his teeth, secretly cursing that Lin Heng had such good luck that he became rich just by buying a batch of Coriolus polyphylla.
Liu Sheng was filled with emotion. He felt happy for Lin Heng but also a little regretful.
If I had listened to Lin Heng's advice, would I be able to make a small profit now? ...
On the other side, Lin Heng had already returned home with his wife and children.
He didn't want to pay any attention to Zhao Hu Jin Hai at all. As long as they didn't disturb his life, he could do whatever they wanted.
As for Liu Sheng, if he gave up hanging out with Zhao Hu and Jin Hai, he would be willing to help.
"Are we going to have Jiangba steamed buns or Jiangba pancakes for dinner?" Xiulan put down the backpack, her beautiful eyes looking forward.
She was very happy because her husband went with her without hesitation when he saw his old friend.
"How about steamed buns? We picked some tung leaves. I'll help you make them." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"good."
Xiulan nodded, and the two of them rested for a while and then started cooking.
Lin Heng lit a fire to boil water and placed a large two-layer bamboo steamer in the pot to preheat it.
Xiulan washed the tung leaves. The rice cake she made in the morning had turned slightly sour after fermenting for most of the day, which was the best state.
Pour a spoonful onto the tung leaves, wrap it up and place it in the steamer.
Although the steamer is very big, I steamed six steamed buns. The remaining ones can be added to some flour pancakes tomorrow morning and will taste better.
In more than ten minutes, the steamed buns were ready. They were golden in color, with a slight sour taste and the aroma of corn.
I took a bite and it had a rough texture with some corn aroma. It tasted good at the first bite and seemed pretty good. But I didn’t want to eat it so much at the second bite, and I completely lost my appetite at the third bite.
"The taste is the same as always!" Lin Heng sighed.
"You don't want to eat now, do you?" Xiulan smiled at him.
This is originally a new way of eating invented by poor people who were tired of eating steamed corn bread to cheer themselves up. It would be strange if it tasted good.
"Eat less tonight. It will be delicious when it's crispy over the fire tomorrow morning." Lin Heng shook his head.
Xiulan put the steamed buns aside and fried two dishes, and dinner was ready.
At the dinner table, Lin Heng broke off a piece of steamed bun and fed it to Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia put it in her mouth, chewed it, and her expression changed. She gulped it down.
“I don’t want to eat it!!” When Lin Heng fed her the second piece, her head shook like a rattle and she ran away.
"You've learned to be picky about food at such a young age, haven't you?" Lin Heng laughed, but he didn't blame Xiaoxia, the food was indeed not tasty.
Xiulan fed Xiaoxia some vegetables, and she and Lin Heng only ate one steamed bun.
The next morning, Xiulan added flour to the remaining Jiangba and used oil to fry it into golden and crispy pancakes. The pancakes tasted much better. She also sliced the Jiangba steamed buns from last night and fried them until crispy.
"That's exactly how it should be eaten." Lin Heng nodded while eating breakfast. This way it would be crispy and delicious.
Xiaoxia would hold a cake and nibble on it instead of just taking one bite and then giving up.
After breakfast, I took a diesel saw and went to see my father and told him about building a cabin on Red Maple Mountain.
Father Lin looked at the dark red diesel saw in Lin Heng's hand and asked, "How powerful is your diesel saw?"
He had never used a diesel saw before, and this was his second time seeing it. Lin's mother next to him also looked curious.
"Then let me show you its power." Lin Heng said with a smile.
He moved a 30-centimeter-thick rotten red toon tree from the side and placed it on the stone step. Then he grabbed the diesel saw and pulled the starter rope. With a rumble, the engine started, driving the chain to rotate rapidly.
Lin Heng stepped on the accelerator and let it turn for a while, then took it to saw the tree. After a few loud noises, the 30-centimeter-thick red toon tree was sawed off in less than ten seconds.
"Now you know, don't you?" Lin Heng looked at his father and said with a smile, a tree that could be cut down in three minutes by human labor only takes ten seconds with a chainsaw. This is the power of modern industry.
Father Lin's eyes lit up when he saw the speed. He put down the steamed bun in his hand and walked over to say, "You're so amazing. Let me try it too."
"This is the accelerator, and this is the handrail. Be careful not to hurt your hands." Lin Heng looked at his father's expression, smiled, gave him some instructions, and then gave him the chainsaw.
He walked over and set up the red toon tree for his father to saw. When he saw that such a thick tree was cut in two strokes, there was obvious joy on Lin's father's face.
Father Lin sighed: "It's really fast. I can saw five or six hundred pieces of wood a day with this diesel saw, which is enough for our family to burn for a year."
As if he had got a new toy, Father Lin sawed several more pieces of wood, looked at the chainsaw, and sawed several more pieces of wood.
Not until he had finished sawing all the big logs in the house did he ask, "Why did it stop?"
"Let me do it." Lin Heng took the diesel saw and demonstrated to his father how to shut it down and what precautions to take.
When the chainsaw stopped, Father Lin took another look at it and said, "It's really good. How fast can you make charcoal with a chainsaw like this?"
Lin Heng handed the diesel saw to his father: "Dad, this saw is for you."
"Really give it to me?" Father Lin did not refuse this time, which shows that he really loves this big toy.
Lin Heng grinned: "Of course, I can't lie. Just consider it as your reward for helping me build the cabin."
"Then I'll take it." Father Lin took the chain saw, looked at it again, and then asked Lin Heng to teach him how to open it.
He tried it twice himself and smiled with satisfaction.
Gently putting down the chainsaw, Father Lin looked up and said, "Then I'll pack up some tools now, and we'll go to Red Maple Mountain to build a cabin."
He had been planning to go to the fields to turn over the straw, but now he changed his mind.
"Lin Heng!"
Lin Heng was about to speak when he heard shouting from the gate of the courtyard. He turned around and saw that it was Zhao Hu and his two companions.
"Is there anything wrong?" Lin Heng looked at the three people with a calm expression.
He wore long sleeves when he went up the mountain yesterday for fear of being stung by live chilies, but he wore short sleeves this morning.
As soon as Zhao Hu and the other two came in, they saw the watch on his hand and the chain saw that had just been activated. They were not cheap items, which made them completely believe that Lin Heng was really rich.
At the same time, I felt even worse.
"We are friends after all. Is it wrong for me to come and play with you?" Zhao Hu said with a smile.
Lin Heng said calmly: "I'm really sorry, I don't have time now. I'm just about to go up the mountain with my dad."
"You are indeed the big boss now. You even ignore us friends. You are so cold." Zhao Hu said sarcastically.
He was already extremely upset. Lin Heng was just a little brother following him around before, but his attitude towards him now made him want to beat him up.
Lin Heng remained unmoved: "If you have something to say, tell me. If not, I'll go up the mountain."
If Zhao Hu really treated him as a friend, he would not have been reborn. He was calm and restrained in not dealing with him.
Liu Sheng walked into the yard, looked at Lin Heng and said, "I recently discovered a project to make money. There are many things in Ancheng that are very cheap, but they can be sold at twice the price in Taibai.
We are planning to buy a tractor together to transport goods. We came here today to seek your cooperation. This is a project that can make a lot of money. Brother Zhao also came here to invite you because you are a brother. "
Liu Sheng still spoke sincerely and remembered the friendship they had as childhood friends.
But Lin Heng had already planned his development. Reselling goods would only make a small amount of money, and he wouldn't be able to make a lot of money in a few years.
The real way to make money in the next twenty years will still depend on stocks, real estate, and manufacturing, and only after that will come the Internet era.
He plans to start with fish farming and gradually get involved in other types of farming. After three to five years, he will open a food processing factory, sell mineral water drinks, etc.
From breeding and planting, to food and beverage processing, to brand building and marketing, we will gradually form a complete food industry chain and build a business group of our own.
Don't say that reselling goods has no future, even if it has a future, he is not interested. So he shook his head and refused: "I want to dig a fish pond to raise fish and shrimps, and I don't have money for other investments. You should find other people to cooperate with."
"If you raise fish and shrimps, what if they die, won't you lose everything? But it's impossible for us to lose money in our business." Liu Sheng persuaded. He really thought that he could make a lot of money by reselling goods.
"If you want to do breeding with me, I welcome you, but don't come to me for this matter." Lin Heng shook his head.
"You are short-sighted. You have no idea how much money this business can make." Zhao Hu got angry and sneered.
"Brother Zhao, let's go. At worst, we can take out a loan. This kid is hopeless. He really thought he could always be as lucky as Tun Sanghuang."
Jin Hai looked at Lin Heng with disdain, thinking that it must be God's fault that someone as short-sighted as him could make money.
After saying that, the two of them left directly, and Lin Heng didn't even plan to let them drink water.
Liu Sheng let them go first, and then came over to persuade him again: "Lin Heng, this business is really good. If you have money to invest, you can take the majority share and you will definitely make money."
Lin Heng shook his head, looked at him and said, "I'm not interested in this. If you must go with them, I'll give you a piece of advice.
Don’t take out loans in your own name that are beyond your ability to repay, and don’t be a legal representative of a company.”
Lin Heng patted his shoulder with some emotion.
Everything that happened in his previous life happened in advance, and he didn't know what the future would be like.
"Okay." Liu Sheng didn't care about Lin Heng's words, turned around and walked out.
"I've got my things, let's go." Father Lin walked out of the house and said to Lin Heng.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded.
Only he and Lin's father went to Hongfeng Mountain, while Lin's mother and Xiulan went to the river to wash clothes and herd cattle and sheep.
His eldest brother and sister-in-law took their two younger sons to the mountains to dig herbs.
During this period, Schisandra chinensis in some mountains has begun to ripen, and many people go to pick it.
They went today to see the situation. If there are a lot of red ones, the whole family will go to pick them tomorrow.
Lin Heng brought his father to Hongfeng Mountain. Seeing the Dendrobium officinale still alive on the tree, Lin's father was amazed: "This thing won't survive if buried in the soil, but it can survive when planted like this?"
"That's how long it grows on the cliff," Lin Heng said with a smile. "Next year I plan to try to expand the scale of planting."
"We all thought it would live better in the soil," Father Lin shook his head.
"But you have to be careful. Now that the Dendrobium is alive, someone will definitely steal it if they find it." Lin's father said again.
Lin Heng thought that it was unlikely. It had just sprouted now. If he wanted to steal it, he would have to wait until it grew up.
"This is the place we chose to build the wooden house. What do you think?" Lin Heng said to his father.
Father Lin put down his things and looked around, then walked around a little further away, and nodded after coming back: "This place is okay, but if you go further west, the center of the mountain top is also good, but it's not convenient to use water."
"I plan to build a big house there when I have money." Lin Heng said with a smile.
It has always been a dream to own a mountain villa of my own.
"Let's talk about it when you have money. Now let's cut down the trees first." Father Lin said with a smile.
"Mainly cut down some miscellaneous woods, such as chestnut trees, oak trees, pine trees, paulownia trees and the like. Don't cut down maple trees or cotinus coggygria trees." Lin Heng nodded and told his father that the beautiful trees should be kept for appreciation.
Father Lin agreed, took an axe and a hatchet, while Lin Heng carried a chainsaw and came to a big oak tree.
Father Lin took the diesel saw. He didn't understand anything about it, so he used it strictly according to the steps Lin Heng taught him, for fear that if one step was wrong the saw would not start or be damaged.
It feels like a little kid learning something.
The chainsaw started quickly and Lin's father started cutting the tree with the chainsaw.
Although it was his first time using a chainsaw, he was experienced in felling trees and made a diagonal cut before cutting the tree in half.
With a crisp sound, the acorn tree with a diameter of 30 cm fell down.
Father Lin quickly sawed off the main trunk with a chainsaw. Looking at the dismembered tree, he treasured the chainsaw even more.
"This thing is great. It took less than ten minutes to cut down such a big tree. It would take at least an hour for manpower." Father Lin sighed as he looked at the fallen tree.
With this chainsaw, he felt that felling trees was no longer a physical job, but like a game.
"This is the power of the machine." Lin Heng said with a smile.
"Go on!" Father Lin was a little excited as he held the saw.
Lin Heng could hardly help and just watched his father sawing the tree.
After sawing, don’t take it away for the time being. Throw it on the ground first and deal with it later.
In one morning, Mr. Lin cut down more than 30 pieces of wood. In this day and age, no one cares if you cut down trees in your own forest, and you don't have to worry about being reported or anything.
Lin Hengze had nothing to do, so he dug up some maple saplings and planted them next to the cut tree roots.
Red maple trees grow very fast. He estimated that by the time the villa is built, these red maple trees will be more than ten meters tall.
The maple tree he is talking about here is a large tree that can grow more than ten or twenty meters high, and whose leaves turn yellow and red in autumn.
He not only planted maple trees, but also some cotinus and pine trees, with the goal of turning Red Maple Mountain into a paradise.
In one day, the father and son sawed down more than fifty large trees, but compared with the huge forest, it was just a drop in the bucket.
