Chapter 108
Wu Yuming rented several houses in the village and was being renovated in a busy manner. However, the houses in Chashu Village were already very sparse, and the farthest rented houses were at least one kilometer apart. Fortunately, these places have infrastructure roads, and they can drive over on sunny days. Forget it, it’s not the case when it rains, but it’s good to be able to run a tractor.
There are few tractors in Chashu Village. Since they have never handed over grain and grain, and the double-season rice is changed to single-season rice, there are fewer chemical fertilizers and pesticides needed. Now tractors are needed, mainly to pull bricks and cement.
As young and middle-aged people in Chashu Village go out to work, the agriculture in Chashu Village has gradually become decadent. If this continues, perhaps one day, all the fields in Chashu Village will naturally return farmland to forests. Because fewer and fewer farmers are still farming.
Chen Ming listened to the threshing machine rumbling in the field.
Chen Bang's family is harvesting rice.
Without saying a word, Chen Ming pulled up his trousers and prepared to go downstairs to help.
"Doctor Chen, don't get your feet dirty. The Min'an couple is back, and there is only this left, and the fight will be finished in two strokes." Chen Bangyou quickly stopped Chen Ming.
"Uncle Bang You, you are really good. You don't even call me if you collect rice. I'm afraid that I will eat a lot of food and make your family poor?" Chen Ming pretended to be angry. Although he did not take the role of Chen Gang You, he had the truth of a master and apprentice. If there is something wrong with the master's family, how can the apprentice not come?
"I was originally going to call you. As a result, the Min'an couple arrived home last night. I only had less than one acre of rice fields in total. There was no need for you to work. Recently, the hospital sent so many patients, so you couldn't be busy." Chen Bangyou was already very happy to see Chen Ming's heart.
"Why is Brother Min'an back? Are you going to have a drink at home?" Chen Ming asked.
"I didn't hold any wine. Now there are more and more people from other places coming from the village. The vegetables grown in the fields can be sold easily. Local eggs are now two yuan per piece. Local chickens are 60 yuan per pound. Even the side dishes in the fields are valuable. A handful of garlic can be sold for several yuan." Chen Bangyou talked about the changes in the village and smiled on his face.
The sports and rehabilitation center brought not only idle houses to Chashu Village, but also earth-shaking changes. Even the elderly in their sixties and seventies could make money without leaving their homes.
"So, Brother Min'an is preparing to come back?" Chen Ming asked.
Chen Bang nodded: "Min'an's wife has found a job at the sports rehabilitation center, which costs 3,000 yuan a month. Although she doesn't earn much money from working in the city, her job is easy and she can take care of her family. She gets off work on time every day. She can take care of her children."
"What about Brother Min'an?" Chen Ming asked. If Chen Min'an was willing, Chen Ming was going to tell him a relatively relaxed job.
"I'm going to come back to do greenhouse planting, specializing in planting off-season vegetables. If the sports and rehabilitation center is built in the future, the demand for vegetables will increase. I have worked on the coast and in the greenhouse. Now the off-season vegetables at the market here are not cheap. Anyway, this place is from my own home, and the investment is not big. Let's do it first." Chen Min'an said his thoughts.
"It's good." Chen Ming nodded, "If you change your mind and want to work in the rehabilitation center, tell me."
Chen Min'an's wife Wang Yuzhen was a little moved: "Min'an, why don't you go to the hospital to work, although the salary is not high, it's better to be stable. It's very tiring to build a greenhouse."
"No, no, I don't have to work every day when building a greenhouse. I'm used to it, but I'm more free to build a greenhouse. Both of them go to work, so I can't take care of my family." Chen Min'an had his own ideas.
"Sister-in-law, don't be an refugee Brother An. It's good to be a boss by yourself. In the future, the sports rehabilitation center will be built, and our Chashu Village will be worth every inch of land. If your family owns several greenhouses, you will definitely make money by sitting there." Chen Ming said.
"Doctor Chen is right. Min'an has his own ideas, so he will do it according to his own ideas. I see that our Chashu Village will not lack a bite in the future. As long as you are not lazy, everyone will have a chance to get rich." Chen Bang also stood on his son's side this time.
In fact, Chen Bangyou still wanted Chen Min'an to make a crock pot in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out. Otherwise, not only his son's wife, but also his own wife would jump out and fight him. A handful of old bones must be removed.
"Now I make money for everything. By the way, Dr. Chen, the kiln work you did last time was left and there were still some left that you didn't put in the market to sell. A few days ago, I was going to go to the market, but a patient saw it and asked me how to sell the clay pot. I thought he didn't buy it sincerely, so I called a high price. Who knew that the price was not paid back, so I bought it directly. There were only a few teapots, which sold for several hundred. I'll give you the money." Chen Bangyou remembered something very happy.
Chen Ming quickly grabbed Chen Bangyou's name: "Uncle Bangyou, don't take it, just treat me as a filial piety to you and drink. You know, my income is not low now."
"I don't like this anymore?" Chen Bangyou said with a smile.
"It's not that you don't like it, it's that you shouldn't take it. It's not that you helped Uncle You, who would teach me so much?" Chen Mingzhen was not that he looked down on me because of his low money. He had experienced hard life.
"Okay, okay, if you have this heart, I will accept the old man. As long as you learn the skills well, there will always be times when you are valuable. Unfortunately, no one can take my skills now." Chen Bang said something.
Chen Min'an heard the smell: "Dad, no matter what you say, I won't learn to make a clay pot with you. I can't stand that sin."
"You know what's the point. Nowadays, who makes big tiled jars? They are all fine work. How heavy are a few teapots? They can be made in ten minutes. If we do some transformations in our kiln, the fine work they burn will be more beautiful. It is not more tiring than growing a greenhouse. I have figured it out. If you have money to come to us for recovery, every person who lacks money will take it down in one breath as long as you fall in love with it, without blinking." Chen Bangyou seems to be old, but he is not a fool. He understands it better than many young people.
"Dad, how do you know so much?" Chen Min'an was a little puzzled.
Chen Ming was also very surprised.
"Actually, I heard from Secretary Su. Secretary Su talked to us old clay potters. When they talked about the city's specialty in ceramic art, the children in the city went to make clay pots." Chen Bangyou said.
"Secretary Su wants you to get the clay pot back up?" Chen Min'an asked.
"Well, I just want us to make high-end fine clay pots, not the kind of sauerkraut jars that we used to make." Chen Bangyou said.
Chen Min'an was a little moved by the words, but he didn't say anything.
If a small teapot is worth tens or hundreds of dollars, the profit in this industry is higher than planting greenhouses. And Chen Min'an has a sense of how tiring it is to plant greenhouses. As the saying goes, one acre of land is more tiring than planting one acre of land. Planting greenhouses is much more tiring than planting ordinary land.
Chen Ming didn't say anything either.
Wang Yuzhen urged on the side: "Hurry up and work, it will be dark later."
Wang Yuzhen was afraid that her husband would be fooled by her father-in-law to make a clay pot.
There is a saying here in Chashu Village that good girls don’t marry clay pot maker. Those who make clay pots bow every day. After a long time, their waists are not good. And they usually have never worn clean clothes, mud, and they are not decent.
In the past, the village could not make money, making clay pots was a good way. Now there is no shortage of ways to make money, so no one is willing to learn to make clay pots. Although the people in the city are doing ceramics, they are just having fun. How many people can hold on as a job to support their families?
"Doctor Chen, I'll go home later and have some drinks together. Brother Min'an just came back, so you have a good chat together." Chen Bangyou said.
"You have to." Chen Ming picked up a shoulder pole from the ground, carried a load of millet and walked towards Chen Bangyou's house.
In the evening, Chen Ming had dinner at Chen Bang You's house and had enough wine and meals. Chen Min'an sent Chen Ming home.
"Doctor Chen, I'll tell you the truth. I know what my father means. He wants me to pick up his skills. Actually, I have this idea. But my wife must not agree. You saw it just now. I am so old and don't want to argue with my wife." Chen Min'an said.
"Brother Min'an, you shouldn't rush to make a decision. Since Secretary Su came to find the old man who made the clay pots and the other ones who made clay pots, he naturally had conducted research on the clay pot industry. Then you can find her, visit those places, see how others do it and whether there is a future. If you want to plant a greenhouse, it's okay. I can help you get the floor, and it's not difficult to make money." Chen Ming patted Chen Min'an on the shoulder. A man was stuck between his parents and his wife, which was actually quite difficult for many times.
"Well, I'll go to Secretary Su tomorrow to ask." Chen Min'an made up his mind secretly.
Su Moxi seemed to have expected that someone in the village would ask her about pottery. She had already prepared videos of modern pottery factories. How others made exquisite pottery. Compared with these places, although the production of clay pots in Chashu Village has many innate shortcomings, they do not master modern technology, and have no technology and experience in producing fine pottery. However, Chashu Village also has the advantages of teashu Village. Chashu Village has a long history of pottery production and has the skills of making clay pots passed down from generation to generation. It is very suitable for the production of small batches of fine pottery. Moreover, today's Chashu Village has a unique geographical advantage. The sports rehabilitation center will bring a large number of potential high-quality customers to Chashu Village.
When Chen Ming met Chen Min'an again the next day, Chen Min'an told Chen Ming excitedly that he was preparing to retake the old business that was passed down from generation to generation in Chashu Village.
"Sister-in-law agrees?" Chen Ming asked.
"Where is your sister-in-law in front of Secretary Su? She was convinced by Secretary Su in just a few words." It seems that Chen Min'an still wants his son to inherit his father's business in his heart, and he doesn't want to see his father sighing.
