Chapter 268 Damei Remarried
Tian Shao pulled Li Aihua, and said in a low voice, "It's near the sea, and the seafood is much cheaper than here. You can buy scallops, isinglass, shark's fin, sea cucumber and other dry goods and send them back. The more the better."
Kelp and seaweed are also popular, but the postage is too expensive to be worthwhile, and the quantity is too large to be eye-catching.
Li Aihua scolded with a smile: "The more the better? I'll buy you a sack, do you want it?"
Tian Shao saw that she didn't understand, and said, "Let's not talk about one sack, ten sacks are not too much. These are rare items, and we can make a lot of money by reselling them."
Li Aihua was taken aback, and said, "Isn't this speculative?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "Just bringing a few catties of seafood to relatives is nothing like speculation. Let me tell you, let's sell it at double the price, and others will think it is cheap."
The main reason is that the supply and marketing cooperatives don't sell these things, but the provincial capital does. Therefore, even if the income is doubled, others will not think it is expensive.
"so much?"
Tian Shao nodded and said: "Isinglass, shark's fin and sea cucumber are all tonics, whether they are for the elderly at home or as gifts. You are going to get married soon, so it is better to save more money for preparation."
“It’s over if people know and report it.”
Tian Shao scolded with a smile: "Do you think sea cucumber maw is Chinese cabbage? You can buy two to thirty catties and it will be enough. Whoever is full will stare at this amount."
Li Aihua felt that she couldn't hide this from Li's father and mother.
Tian Shao didn't expect her to hide it: "Just tell your uncle and aunt that I bought it for my family, and they probably won't say anything."
"Let me try."
Not long after Li Aihua's family went to Fujian, Tian Shao received the saplings from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the provincial capital. There are one hundred of these saplings each, and they are very small.
Tian Shao went to the Agricultural Bureau to find a technician surnamed Tu, and told her about the saplings sent: "Technician Tu, it is the season for planting trees, can you go to Tianjia Village tomorrow to guide them in planting."
She has never planted fruit trees, but she knows that fertilization and watering are all important. And this is a new breed, so it cannot be based on experience alone.
Technician Tu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll be there tomorrow morning."
It is a good thing that Tianjia Village is willing to plant fruit trees to develop agriculture, and the leaders above also strongly support it. Of course, he is also very happy to do this, after all, it is his job.
Second Uncle saw the huge pile of saplings, and said with a smile on his face: "My lord, I let them dig the tree hole, and let them plant the saplings tomorrow morning."
Tian Shao hurriedly stopped him, saying that it is best to plant fruit trees under the guidance of Tu technicians: "Grand Uncle, the damage rate of our own planting is too high, and the survival rate of Tu technicians who understand the technology will be much higher. Grand Uncle, that Tu The technician promised to come tomorrow morning."
The second uncle was very happy to see that she was so thoughtful, but he still asked: "Ah, besides planting fruit trees, is there any other way? Many people in our village still don't have enough to eat, so I hope they can eat enough." It can be worn warmly in winter."
After all, it takes several years for fruit trees to bear fruit, and these few years are also difficult.
The second uncle hesitated for a while and said, "Brother, how about we build a brick factory here?"
Tian Shao vetoed his proposal without thinking: "No, uncle, this brick factory will emit a lot of dust and smoke, and the pollution is very serious. If a brick factory is built, it will destroy our environment here."
The mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and she doesn't want anyone to destroy the environment here.
The second uncle said: "What kind of environment is destroyed? When it stops, there will be no dust and smoke. Da, I heard that the brick factory in Shuangqiao Town has recruited many people. Not only can they eat enough, but they can also eat two meals a month." Meat."
Tian Shao didn't stop it when he heard it, and he thought he didn't want everyone to live a good life if he tried his best to oppose it! She said: "Uncle, if you think the brick factory is good, then you can do it with the villagers! I'm not so capable."
Second Uncle knew from her expression that she didn't support her, and sighed, "Big Ya, Uncle also hopes that our Tian family can have enough food and clothing, and that the children have books to read."
While talking, Captain Tian came. He came only after hearing that the saplings had arrived. After looking at the plants one by one, he said, "Dear girl, if people in the village ask, they will say that I entrusted you to buy them."
In case the fruit does not grow well or tastes bad in the future, when the time comes, everyone will scold him, not Tian Shao.
Tian Shao knew that both of them wanted to get the villagers out of poverty, but she really had no better way now. But after the reform and opening up, it would not be a problem to go back to the village and set up a fruit processing factory.
Back home, Li Guihua asked: "Big girl, who pays for the saplings?"
Tian Shao smiled and said: "This is a sapling bought for the team, how can I pay for it? If so, who will dare to do things for the team in the future."
Although there is not much money, there must be rules for everything.
Li Guihua was relieved now, she was afraid that her daughter would take care of everything stupidly: "Daddy, your father already knows how to ride a bicycle, and it will be convenient for him to send you firewood and vegetables in the future."
Tian Shao smiled and said: "Mother, you should learn too! Once you learn it, it will be convenient to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things."
Their Tianjia Village is also some distance away from the supply and marketing cooperative, and it takes more than 40 minutes to walk back and forth! Cycling can save half the time.
Actually, Tian Dalin also said this, but Li Guihua was afraid of falling down and refused to learn: "Why do I learn this, I will let your father go shopping in the future. Alright, the food is ready, let's eat in the house!"
Under Tian Shao's guidance, Sanya's cooking skills have improved greatly. According to Si Ya's statement, there is a bit of Tian Shao's true biography. These words provoked Li Guihua to scold him, what kind of true biography, she is clearly a prodigal just like Tian Shao.
After the meal, Li Guihua and Tian Shao said something: "Yesterday your aunt delivered a message, saying that Damei had a crush on a man named Quanshui and wanted to set up two tables. Luo Quanshui is twenty-six years old this year. , because I live in the mountains and I’m poor, so far I haven’t married a wife. But I’m a person, and my parents have passed away. If Damei marries her, she doesn’t have to worry about being rubbed by her mother-in-law. The date is set at the end of the month, and I will meet Go drink with your father."
Tian Shao felt that the speed was too fast, but the uncle and aunt agreed that the other party should be fine: "Mother, I don't have time to go, you can give me a red envelope of two yuan when the time comes."
Li Guihua thinks it's too much, but thinking about Damei's current situation, it's pitiful. It's this little aunt who made up for it: "Daddy, I want to send two catties of brown sugar, do you think it's okay?"
Tian Shao said with a smile: "As long as you are willing, mother, I have no problem even pulling a few feet of cloth to make clothes for my cousin."
Li Guihua thought about the cloth ticket in the cabinet, hesitated for a while and said: "Da Ya, then I'm really going to tear the four-foot cloth to make new clothes for Damei."
The main reason is that Niu Damei didn’t have any new clothes, and she gave her the two best clothes. It's unbearable to think that it's strange to wear shabby clothes after getting married.
Tian Shao just said: "It's up to you to decide."
