    ?

    When Chen Chen saw the round balls being patted and bouncing back and forth, he knew what it was in front of him!

    Natural rubber, Chen Chen walked over a few steps, squeezed the somewhat sticky ball in his hand, and asked, "How did you get this thing?"

    The stall owner was a woman in her twenties. Although Chen Chen didn't show up much in Taoyuan Village, she was well known to everyone. She immediately replied with a little respect, "This is something my husband found on Xiaoqun Mountain."  The sap from planting trees was a bit rare, so I took it home and used it as a plaything for my children. I still have a lot at home. I thought that some guests might like such a magical thing, so I brought it to the market to try my luck!"

    "Small mountains?" Chen Chen raised his eyebrows. Although the name is simple, this place is like a primeval forest. Most people would never dare to approach the outside of this mountain, but the men in this family have a bit of guts!

    "Most of the land where the trees grow is on the outskirts. My husband has some martial arts skills, so he often goes to the small mountains to hunt some prey to subsidize the family!" The woman smiled bitterly and explained carefully!

    "How much do you have for this thing? I want it all, you can go to He Er to get the money!" Chen Chen didn't want to say much at all, he didn't care about other people's family affairs!  Talking is useless!

    "Yes!" The woman's eyes lit up, her face beamed with joy, and she quickly packed the goods and handed them to Chen Chen, "This is all the family has. If Master Jia still needs it, you can bring it back when you go to the mountains tomorrow."  One batch!"

    "Okay!" Chen Chen took the package, "If you still have this item, just go to He Er directly!"

    After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the woman's abnormally excited appearance, and the curious or respectful eyes of the people around him, and strode away quickly!

    Anyway, no one dared to stop him, Chen Chen thought, it seems that this natural rubber can be used normally after adding sulfur!  It is no longer deformed and melted once it is heated as it is now, and it is hard as a stone when it is cooled, which is useless at all!

    With the rubber, the tires are not a matter of every minute. God knows, how much Chen Chen suffers every time he travels and rides, his buttocks are so bumpy that they turn blue!  Later, he seldom travels by car!

    When Taoyuan Village was built, it took advantage of the convenience provided by the system space, exchanged some new cement and mixed it with ordinary yellow mud, and repaired a series of flat and clean avenues!  The cost is very low!

    The road in front of Jia's mansion was also repaired by Chen Chen, which was very enviable. Many wealthy families followed suit to build the road.  The avenues have been built like this, but it is a pity that there have been years of famines, and people can't even fill their stomachs, so the road construction has been temporarily stranded!

    But right now, people have adapted to the severe weather changes, and their living standards are gradually recovering. The road construction may be brought up again!

    Chen Chen thought that if he made the tires and repaired the roads, people would save a lot of energy for their daily trips. More and more people go out, and the economic development will get better and better!

    My own Taoyuan Village may become a key area of ??economic development in the future!

    With endless fantasies, Chen Chen returned to the mansion with a large bag of things, mixed sulfur from the system space, followed the instructions in the space step by step, and finally got the finished product, a rubber ball!

    The craftsmen in the workshop had been waiting outside early in the morning. After receiving the rubber balls handed over by Chen Chen, they listened carefully to Chen Chen's description of the tires and their requirements, and confidently patted their chests and assured them, "Master, don't worry, we will order them within a month."  Will come up with the finished product!"

    Chen Chen waved him to leave. I'm afraid there is no hope for the tires that are inflated like modern ones, but if it's just shock absorption, it shouldn't be a problem!

    However, this rubber has many uses. One that Chen Chen can think of is tires, and the other is soles!

    The production of shoe soles is relatively simple, and a skilled craftsman can make them after a short while, but Chen Chen no longer has any natural rubber on hand!

    The large demand for natural rubber has caused the small mountains to be lively in the future. Needless to say, the gift of nature, but artificial planting cannot be let go. The rubber tree must have completed basic evolution to survive in such a harsh environment.  Artificial cultivation should not be a problem!

    There are still a few hills around Taoyuan No. 2 Village that have not been sorted out, and they are now being used. Chen Chen asked He Da to transfer a group of experts from the orchard to the small mountains to collect seeds and transplant seedlings, and strive to complete the task of planting rubber trees as soon as possible!

    As for those Chen Chen who originally grew up naturally in the small mountains, they did not move, and became extra income for some bold farmers. He Er received goods all year round, and the price was fair, which also allowed many people to make ends meet.  !

    Due to the prosperity of Taoyuan Village, many refugeesLiving in the wasteland without belongings around the village, relying on the popularity of Taoyuan Village to make a living, Taoyuan Village has a very good atmosphere and treats these refugees very kindly, and some villagers who do business are willing to hire these refugees with low wages  That's the case with the woman who sold the natural rubber to Chen Chen earlier!

    A group of them fled here all the way. Originally, they just saw how prosperous the people were here and wanted to settle down temporarily, but everything in Taoyuan Village changed their minds. They also wanted to sell themselves and live in the village at the time, but at that time  But they no longer buy people!

    In desperation, they temporarily set up thatched sheds in the wasteland outside the village and fend for themselves!

    The woman's husband was originally a hunter with good skills, so he boldly went to the outskirts of the small mountains to hunt. Although it was very dangerous, the harvest was good. The place where they lived was considered a good life!

    However, today the woman came back from a trip with a smile on her face, and there were a lot of good things in the basket!  I still have fifty cents left on me!

    Although the family members were happy, they were a little worried about where the money came from. After listening to the woman, they realized that it was the rare thing!

    "Then I'll go pick some more today. There are a lot of them, on the ground and on the trees. If the big housekeeper says ten cents a catty, that's a lot of money!" The woman's husband is a  The stupefied reckless men couldn't sit still as soon as they heard this. They just arrived here this year and finally found a good place to put down roots.  Winter is coming, and this thatched cottage can't stand it anymore!  Gotta make money fast!

    "That's the same quality as today's price!" The woman patiently explained, "You are only one person, how much glue can you get? There was some kind of friendship between us and our group when we fled together. Such a thing of getting rich should not  Eat it yourself!"

    "That's right!" The woman's father-in-law was also a half-educated person back then, so he naturally thought differently, "Qiangzi, go and call all the men from each family over to discuss how to get the glue together.  The opportunity of this group of miserable people!"

    "Hey! Dad, I'm going right away!" The man ran out anxiously!

    "Father! I made a special inquiry today. It's not a busy time for farming. The ox carts in Taoyuan Village are all free. If you rent it for a day, outsiders only need 50 yuan!" The woman said with a smile, "The glue is easy to get now, no need  It takes a lot of effort, but once the news spreads, it will not be so convenient if there are too many people to get the glue! It¡¯s better to let us drive the car to transport, the men hurry up to get the glue, and we can take the lead in the first batch of excitement  machine!"

    "Success! You have a good idea! Discuss with the big guys later to see how many people we can get!" The old man chuckled and said with a calm face, "This Taoyuan Village is really a blessed place, and we can also take root here in the future  !¡± (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
