My 1995 Small Farm - #718 - Vol 3 Chapter 707:
The dirt road outside this small town is indeed difficult to walk.
There are many potholes, puddles and mud pits, as well as twists and turns, as well as many uphill and downhill slopes.
Chen Ling had already made plans to put the tractor into the cave while no one was around.
But he didn’t expect that people would be so enthusiastic if he just let Tiger simply sell his skills.
A lot of people came after him, some holding shovels to help him fill the soil, and some helping him push the tractor.
Good guy…
This enthusiasm almost made Chen Ling embarrassed.
The same goes for Ah Fu and Ah Shou. I don’t know whether it’s because he’s just as embarrassed, or because he knows people are helping, or because he just didn’t enjoy his performance.
After everyone helped push the tractor out of this section of road.
The two guys bowed together again and moaned for a while.
It made many children, big and small, shout excitedly and chase the tractor for a long distance.
…
The weather has not been very good these two days.
After it rained last night, the sun only came out for a while in the morning.
At noon, the sky became gloomy again, causing the entire Wangba City to be shrouded under a thick lead cloud.
Wangba City is also called the ancient city and is divided into the east ancient city and the west ancient city.
Out of the West Ancient City, not far away is the mining area.
There is a large river flowing through Donggucheng, but after winter, the water in the river is very shallow. Even if it rains these days, the flow has stopped in some places.
Looking from a distance, you can only see a large area of pebbles in the river.
Chen Ling knew that this might be due to the mining nearby, which made Wangba City different from other places.
Like them, even if the water level drops seriously in winter in previous years, this situation will not happen.
It rained even in the winter this year, but it still looks like this here.
However, the scenery outside the East Ancient City is still very good, and there are many stalls.
There is no market here in Wangba City and there are many stalls set up every day.
The trucks pulling ore come and go. The drivers and workers here also make a lot of money, so they should reward themselves when they are tired.
It can be said that it supports a large number of small traders.
There are also restaurants of all sizes in the county.
Moreover, there are many people on the streets of Wangba City every day.
Every day is the same as every day.
For example, many children from Chenwangzhuang who have never traveled far came here and said that it was like celebrating the New Year here.
The street is so lively and there are so many stalls selling things.
The kids are right, everything is sold here.
There are a variety of food uses, and even building materials, hardware, car repairs, etc. have also flourished.
It’s just that the building materials stores are all in Xigucheng.
Chen Ling went to Donggucheng first after arriving. It was noon and he was hungry. He had to find a restaurant to fill his stomach first.
Wangba City is very famous for its beef and donkey meat.
It’s not that beef and donkey meat are so special, but because cattle and donkeys are often killed here.
In other places, you might kill a cow, but no one would be willing to buy it.
There is no shortage of meat buyers here.
Chen Ling hasn’t eaten donkey meat for a while.
Just after arriving at Wangba City, I felt hungry and a bit greedy.
Afu Ashou became very well-behaved when he went to a crowded place.
In fact, they are not really good.
Just enjoy the feeling of being in the spotlight.
The two tigers were really addicted to the feeling of being amazed and admired.
So don’t worry about them hurting people when walking on the street. They can even sit upright and majestic for a whole day without getting off the tractor under the gaze of the crowd.
However, in order to have a good meal, Chen Ling really didn’t want to attract onlookers anymore.
He found a place to put them into the cave.
Then I went to a donkey meat restaurant and ordered a pound and a half of cooked donkey meat, as well as a platter of donkey mouth strips and donkey intestines.
The dipping dish is minced garlic, vinegar, and chili oil.
Place two more hot and fragrant sesame cakes freshly baked from the oven.
Tear it apart from the middle, stuff the dipped meat into it, stuff it full, and bite it in one bite…
It was like a burst of fragrance.
Eating meat can bring people a great sense of happiness.
Chen Ling cannot live without meat.
When I eat at home, I can’t stand it if I don’t have meat every two days.
It is the same principle as Yu Qian’s that one cannot live without the large intestine.
Ordered a few more sesame seed cakes one after another, and Chen Ling finished two full plates of meat.
I asked the owner of the donkey meat restaurant about the big tortoise here. He was very curious. The water in the river outside the county town was so shallow. How could there be a big tortoise swimming here?
The boss said: “The water is not shallow, how can one see a giant turtle in the river?”
The people in Wangba City themselves never say the word “Wangba”, and others cannot mention it in front of them. They will be anxious when they say it.
Chen Ling was speechless for a moment and almost blurted out a sentence called “Shallow Bastard”.
Fortunately, I held it back in time.
“There’s no need to look at that thing, it’s no better than your Prince Turtle from Lingyun County…” The boss shook his head, turned around and walked into the kitchen.
It seems that he doesn’t want to talk more.
He also has no interest in that big old turtle.
This is true.
They have been called “Wonderful City” for many years.
What if another big old turtle comes here.
It would be fine if he were a turtle prince like Chen Wangzhuang.
The key is not that it is just a big old turtle.
If they stay here, wouldn’t it be more solid for their nickname of “The Bastard City”?
What a pity! It was originally Wang Mang City, but it was suddenly called Wang Mang City. Where can I reason with it? Chen Ling probably guessed what the locals were thinking.
After settling the bill, I didn’t say much or ask any more questions, and just went out and wandered around on the street.
The people in the small town on the road didn’t fool him.
There are already a lot of stalls selling spicy noodles here.
Just here, spicy strips are not a snack for children.
It is mainly eaten by workers as a snack and pickle.
Those who do physical work, most of them have stronger tastes.
This is also normal.
In addition to spicy strips, Chen Ling found that the canned meat from Han Chuang Cannery was also particularly popular here.
This was brought up by the canned fish in the summer.
In the past, the canned meat in their factory was not easy to sell.
After all, there is no shortage of meat sellers in Wangba City. No one knows whether the meat in the can is good or bad, and what its quality is.
The canned meat business is bleak.
But since canned fish has become popular in Wangba City.
The same brand of canned meat is also on sale.
At first, it was mostly bought by drivers of sports cars.
Later, local residents and workers also began to buy them.
Brothers Han Chuang did not expect that canned meat would become such a big hit.
Chen Ling has eaten canned meat from Han Chuang’s house. For him who is used to eating good food, the taste is quite satisfactory.
However, whether it tastes good or not is sometimes not the most important thing.
The most important thing is the formation of habits.
Once people get used to this taste, from canned fish to canned meat, they will gradually only recognize this brand.
“It feels like I’m doing a market research.”
Chen Ling thought strangely in his heart.
“Forget it, stop shopping, buy some things for Susu and the children, and then go to the west to look at building materials.”
As a result, when we arrived at Xicheng City, as soon as the tractor stopped, a figure came rushing over like a whirlwind, barking and waving its tail.
Chen Ling lowered his head and saw that it was a big, fat, green dog with its front legs resting on his feet, shaking its head and tail, very excited.
“Huh? This is…”
“Oh, brother Fugui, why did you come to the ancient city without saying a word?”
Chen Ling turned around and saw a familiar-looking man walking out of a store on the street holding a bowl.
“After all, it’s the dog you raised. This dog is so big, but when you come over, it’s still so close to you.”
Chen Ling knew what was going on immediately, walked down, rubbed the green dog’s head hard, and said with a smile: “You feed him well. He is so big, I don’t even dare to recognize him.”
“My father-in-law owns a restaurant in Dongcheng. This dog is not short of meat and meat, and it grows up very quickly.”
The man chuckled: “Brother, your dog is good, obedient and sensible, better than other dogs, not to mention, he is also a good guard…”
He caught the dog and praised it.
As he was talking, several more dog barks came from the distance, and the big dog next to Chen Ling also barked in response.
After a while, two more dogs ran over. Chen Ling dared to recognize them now. They were all puppies sold by him.
Looking pretty good now.
Although some are not from my own family, some are from Jinmen Village, and some are brought by Zhao Gang.
But these dogs were very close to him when they saw him.
Humbling in a low voice, she jumped excitedly and jumped on him.
Chen Ling was very pleased with this.
He originally took the tiger into the cave because he didn’t want people to watch, but he didn’t expect to meet a few grown-up pups.
This time, I was surrounded by people who looked at me for a while, and they were amazed.
Fortunately, dogs are not as attractive as tigers.
These people did not waste much of his time, but instead provided convenience for him to buy those building materials.
“Brother, you are really capable. You have so many profitable businesses and you still refuse to stop. Now you are planning to build a big shed…”
The first man warmly invited him to have a drink before leaving. After being declined, he took the dog to see him off and made this exclamation.
“I’m just messing around.”
Chen Ling opened the tractor, sat on it, and waved to the man and the dog: “Let’s go, I’ll come earlier next time, and let’s drink again.”
“Okay, please slow down on the road. We’ll see you next time when we match the dog.”
“Easy to say.”
Chen Ling nodded, pulling a tractor and drove out of the city.
…
That afternoon.
The gray sky, with the unique depressiveness of winter, makes people feel depressed, as if it is going to rain at any time.
Compatriots and friends from Hong Kong Island and Bay Island finally arrived outside Lingyun County.
Their convoy stopped to make way for the transport truck coming on the mountain road.
Two transport trucks came slowly, one behind the other.
When passing by them, the compatriots and friends who had suffered physical and mental torture along the way were refreshed.
“Look, this cart is pulling a cart of ponies, it’s so beautiful!”
“Wow, what a beautiful little pony!”
“I wonder if we can buy one…”
“The car behind is an aquatic product truck. It seems that we have finally arrived at the place… The real Fugui Villa raises a lot of precious fish. The one we eat in the city here is transported from here. It is very good. eat…”
“I didn’t expect that I would raise so many foals. When we leave, I must take one back with me.”
Two transport trucks passed by them. By coincidence, just as the two large trucks left, a tractor also drove over on the road along the old city wall in the north of the city.
The tractor was driving very fast. When they turned around and looked over, a group of people’s eyes widened.
Just because there were two big tigers squatting on the back of the packed tractor.
One of them looked at them curiously with his round head raised, while the other one looked majestic and serious, sitting upright. The tractor was shaking, but it was also sitting upright…
“Tiger! Tiger! It’s tiger!”
“This young man driving the car must be the legendary farm owner! Heaven and earth, we finally meet the real owner, he is so handsome!” (End of this chapter)
