Chapter 370 Unconscious Influence
"Brother and sister-in-law, you guys go have fun. I'll go shopping alone."
Lin Heng looked at the two of them and said, "They drove down after breakfast in the morning, and the astragalus seeds were just obtained."
Now that they were in the city center, he planned to take a walk along the river.
"Okay, then let's meet here at eleven o'clock." Lin Yue said with a smile, and then he drove with his wife to go shopping.
Lin Heng walked around alone and slowly came to the river.
The riverside in the city is now covered with lush grass, pink peach blossoms and green willows, and it is much warmer than the mountains.
After walking along the river for a long time, Lin Heng finally found an old man fishing with a bamboo pole, but he didn't catch anything.
He took a look from a distance without saying anything, and as he walked, he came to a machinery factory.
Lin Heng thought about it and walked in. When the staff inside saw someone coming in, they immediately greeted him, "Excuse me, what do you want to buy?"
"Are there any industrial vacuum cleaners?" Lin Heng asked curiously.
"Of course we have. There are different models. It depends on which one you need." The shopping guide took Lin Heng inside and came to a factory where vacuum cleaners were placed.
In this era, there are already vacuum cleaners for home use. Industrial vacuum cleaners are rough in appearance, but they are often more effective.
The shopping guide introduced: "This small one is 150 yuan, the medium one is 200 yuan, and the large one is 300 yuan. The suction power is also different."
This vacuum cleaner looks simple, it is just a long cylinder wrapped in an aluminum shell, with wheels at the bottom and a long hose connected to the top.
"Can we try the effect?" Lin Heng asked again.
"Of course." The shopping guide immediately plugged in Lin Heng's phone.
When the switch is turned on, there is a loud buzzing sound and the strong suction force can suck in even small stones.
"Then buy a small one. I'll come over to buy it later." Lin Heng immediately chose to buy one.
This thing is very convenient for making silage. Put the silage in a plastic bag and use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the air instantly, which is almost the same as vacuuming.
With a vacuum cleaner, there is no need to manually press the silage to expel air, and the anaerobic fermentation effect of the silage will be better.
"No problem, the factory has packaged them and you can come and buy them at any time." The shopping guide responded with a smile.
"Okay." Lin Heng nodded, looked at the other machines, and found that there were more machines here. With the deepening of reform, the domestic development level was also constantly improving.
There was nothing to do outside, so he went to the steel distribution plant next door to take a look and understand the situation.
At that time, the domestic steel industry had been fully developed, so steel was not expensive. He did a brief investigation and found out that if he wanted to build a steel structure farm of one thousand square meters, it would cost about seven or eight thousand yuan for steel, plus other expenses it would be a little more than ten thousand yuan.
The main purpose of understanding these is to make plans for the future. Whether it is to expand the cattle and sheep farms or to build a pig farm, steel-structured factories are better than brick-concrete structures.
After walking around, the time was almost up. When Lin Heng returned to the agreed place, he found that his elder brother and sister-in-law had already arrived. They were talking and laughing, especially his sister-in-law Liu Juan who seemed unusually happy.
"We're done shopping. Once you buy what you want, we can go home." Lin Yue said to his brother.
"good."
Lin Heng nodded, and went to the place where he bought the big plastic bags last time to wholesale 2,000 big plastic bags and 1,000 snakeskin bags, and then went back to buy an industrial vacuum cleaner. He went to Li Chengguo to pick up the 200 kilograms of astragalus seeds he bought.
His elder brother had long been accustomed to Lin Heng's way of buying things, but Liu Juan thought it was too arrogant, as if he didn't care about money at all.
"Can you carry so many things?" Liu Juan asked worriedly. The car was so full of stuff that it was hung all around, leaving only enough space for people to sit.
"No problem. It looks heavy but it's actually not that heavy." Lin Heng explained and started the car. He waited for the two to get in and then drove back.
It was two o'clock in the afternoon when we got home. It was a little hot in the city, but a little cold in the mountains. On the way, we passed by a river and found some Chinese toon buds. We broke them off and shared half with two families.
The car stopped in front of the door. Liu Juan and Lin Yue happily walked back with their things, while Lin Heng took the remaining things and went to Hongfeng Mountain.
"We bought so many things this time!" said Lin's father as he helped with the loading and unloading.
"It's just seeds, bags for silage, and a vacuum cleaner, nothing else." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Mother Lin looked at the big iron bucket curiously and asked in confusion: "Vacuum cleaner, what is this thing for?"
"I'll show you in a minute. It's mainly used for silage storage, but it can also be used for sweeping the floor."
After Lin Heng moved all the things down, he demonstrated to his parents how to use the vacuum cleaner. The two elders were very surprised after watching it.
"You have to admit that the person who made this thing is amazing." Father Lin took it in his hand and used it for a while, then exclaimed with emotion.
Mother Lin was also amazed and said repeatedly: "Yes, it seems that anything can be made."
"There will be even more amazing things in the future." Lin Heng said with a smile. From the perspective of this era, no one could imagine the scene thirty or forty years later.
The same goes for his parents, times are changing too fast.
"Does this Astragalus need to be bred?" asked Father Lin.
"Yes, these are hard seeds. They have to germinate first before they can be sown." Lin Heng nodded.
Father Lin looked at him and said, "Then son, you tell me how to do it, and I will do it for you."
Lin Heng said, "It's very simple. Use warm water of over 40 degrees during the day to soak the seeds. At night, change to cold water from the mountain. Repeat this process for three days. Then pour the seeds into a basin, cover them with a wet cloth, and place them next to the stove to germinate."
After saying that, he went into the house and worked with his father. They took out two large pots used to cook pig food, boiled water directly in the pots, and when the temperature reached, they threw the seeds in to soak.
When the temperature drops a little, add another fire inside. With a thermometer, it is not difficult to keep the water temperature within the range of 40 to 50 degrees.
After figuring out how to do it, Lin Heng no longer needed to take care of this place. Father Lin looked at him and said, "It's still a few days before we plant the crops. How about we ask your third father and the others to come over and help cut the grass tomorrow? The ryegrass can be harvested."
"Okay, let's cook bear bone soup tomorrow." Lin Heng nodded in agreement. He also wanted to try the effect of silage made by a vacuum cleaner.
"Then I'll go and ask your uncle to come down to help this afternoon." Lin's mother said.
Lin Heng asked in confusion: "Why do you call me uncle? Aren't there enough of us?"
At this time, Lin's father smiled and explained: "Actually, your mother wants your uncle to marry the widow of Zhang's family in Shimen Village."
"I wanted to tell your uncle before, but he was reluctant. He disliked your uncle's family because they were poor and lived in a remote mountain village. But a few days ago, he wrote to say he was willing."
"The main reason is that our family has become wealthy recently, and that widow Zhang thought that following your uncle would also help her to benefit from our family's prosperity."
When saying this, Lin's father was also proud. He was proud of Lin Heng.
After listening to Lin's father's series of words, Lin Heng immediately understood and nodded, "Sure, then call my uncle over, I can help to match them up."
His three uncles were all very kind to his family. The eldest and third uncles were the best to him. When he was a child, they always prepared delicious food for him and even carved wooden swords for him.
He was also happy to be able to help them.
Mother Lin nodded and said, "That's what I mean. Your uncle is already 46 years old, and the widow Zhang is 33. She can still have children. Hurry up and match them up so they can have a child soon."
"I'll tell my uncle when he comes down." Lin Heng nodded.
After saying this, Lin Heng went to see the plum fish fry again, and then drove back home.
"Xiu Lan, I got some Chinese toon. Let's stir-fry it to eat in the evening." Lin Heng shouted as he entered the house carrying the things.
"The toon buds in the city have grown so long. Let's fry some bacon tonight." Xiulan looked at it and said happily.
Putting down the Chinese toon, she went to the freezer and took out a piece of bacon.
Lin Heng drank some water, got some snacks for Xiaoxia, and told Xiulan about his uncle.
Xiulan nodded happily after hearing this: "This is a good thing. My uncle is very generous. He just wants to see what Widow Zhang is like."
After saying that, she laughed and said, "I didn't realize that our family's influence has become so great."
"You'll know during the Chinese New Year this year. There will definitely be a lot of people visiting." Lin Heng said with a smile. He had expected this.
He doesn't want to pay much attention to those distant relatives, but he is willing to unite with and help those close relatives who know him well and have often helped his family in the past.
Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Lin Heng and Xiaoxia divided the dogs and finally gave the second smartest male puppy with black and yellow hair to the eldest brother.
The black and yellow haired female puppy with green eyes, the pure white male puppy, and the largest male puppy with gray and white haired that looked more and more like a Husky as it grew older stayed behind.
There are also two little female dogs, one with black and white hair, and the other with black and gray hair, as well as their mother Lai Fu. We will all be taken to Hongfeng Mountain tomorrow to see the mountains.
He kept these three dogs to continue training. The female dog with green eyes was named "Green Eyes" and was to be bred as a shepherd dog.
The little white dog didn't have any special skills, so he taught it to go to the toilet and not pee or poop everywhere. He just needed to be docile and guard the house. He named it Xiaobai, as Xiaoxia had given it. He didn't like this dog, but Xiaoxia liked it anyway.
Although the largest dog that looks like a Husky doesn't like to obey orders, it is very strong. It can pull out three dogs in tug-of-war. Lin Heng plans to train it to be a mountain dog and let Xiaoxia use it as a riding dog to pull the wooden cart.
It was named "Da Zhuang" because it is really strong and inherited the physique of Xiongba and Lai Fuqiang.
Generally speaking, the only legendary dog in this litter is Green Eyes, who has a good body shape and is as intelligent as Xiongba, and seems to be able to understand human language.
Da Zhuang and the one given to the eldest brother can both be called epic, but the rest are relatively ordinary and have no breeding value. They will be sterilized later depending on the situation.
After dividing the dogs, Lin Heng made nests for the new members. Dazhuang and Xiongba were in the front yard, and Xiaobai was in the back yard.
This is done to make Xiongba subdue Dazhuang, so that he won't be disobedient and too arrogant.
It built a wooden doghouse for Xiaobai under the grape trellis in the backyard, using some leftover boards from when his elder brother and his friends were making shelves.
It took Xiaoxia and I an entire afternoon to finish the work. We arranged Xiaobai here so that he can look after the grapes in the autumn and prevent birds from destroying them.
In the evening, Xiulan made a dish of fried toon with bacon. This year's spring was mixed with the taste of autumn and eaten into the mouth. Needless to say, it was very delicious with rice. After the meal, the plate was clean.
The two did not sleep well that night because their lovely third son Lin Duheng wet the bed and then defecated it, keeping them busy for an hour.
After such a long time, although the two little guys are exactly the same, their habits are different. Lin Luming doesn't move much and is usually quiet, and only cries loudly when he is hungry.
Lin Duheng likes to suck his fingers, crawl around, and play with Xiaoxia.
The two of them got up a little late the next morning. They didn't get up until Lin's mother knocked on the door at around eight o'clock.
"Mom, uncle, you guys are all down here." Lin Heng opened the door and greeted them with a smile, "We didn't sleep well last night because of the kids, so we got up late."
"That's great, you can just take the child with you to have breakfast at Hongfeng Mountain." Lin's mother said.
Lu Honghai held up a hazel grouse and said to Lin Heng, "I shot these two days ago. I shot three in a row. Take this and eat it."
"Then take it and let's eat it together at noon." Lin Heng said with a smile.
Lu Honghai shook his head: "No, this is good stuff, just stew it for Xiulan and Xiaoxia to eat."
"Yes, the bear bones you brought out at noon are enough." Lin's mother also said.
"Okay, I'll take out the bear bones right away." Lin Heng put the hazel grouse into the freezer and took out the bear bones.
Looking at the freezer, Lu Honghai smiled and said, "Your freezer is great. Next time I hunt big prey, I'll store it here with you."
"That's no problem, uncle. Just don't be afraid of being eaten by me." Lin Heng joked.
After saying a few words, Lin's mother took the bucket and went to milk the cows with her uncle, then left with three bear ribs and told them to go back early.
Lin Heng walked into the bedroom, and Xiulan looked at him and said, "Come on, we'll go over after we finish our exercise. The child has already been fed."
"Dad, help me put on my clothes." Xiaoxia acted coquettishly on the bed.
"Get up quickly and exercise." Lin Heng said as he helped her put on her clothes.
After the exercise, the two of them pushed a stroller each, and took Xiaoxia, Lai Fu and the two puppies towards Red Maple Mountain.
When he came over, his third father and third mother were already there. After saying hello, they went into the house.
His uncle Lu Honghai saw the gray-haired puppy and said, "This must be Xiongba's pup. This one looks good. Can you give it to me?"
He thought the one that looked like a wolf was pretty good.
"This one is just average. You can have it if you want it, or I can pick a good one for you from the next batch." Lin Heng said to his uncle.
"Then let me take a look first." Lu Honghai hesitated.
Lin Heng let everyone look after the children, then put them in the warm fire room, and then had breakfast with Xiulan and Xiaoxia.
His mother also made potato pancakes in the morning, and also stir-fried a pot of mixed vegetables including spinach, coriander, cabbage, etc.
His mother, uncle, third father, third mother and others had already gone up the mountain. They first cut the grass. Lin Heng and his father chopped it up with a lawn mower and put it in bags.
"Hi!"
Lin Heng had just finished his meal and came out when he heard a shout coming from the mountain.
