"You scared me to death." Liu Qingshan looked at the tall man in front of him, patted his chest, and said, "What are you doing when you enter the mountain early in the morning?"

Tan Dasha grabbed the back of her head and laughed: "My mother said let me help you build the road."

"Then you won't dig yam?" Liu Qingshan's heart suddenly became warmer.

"I won't dig today, I'll dig it when I help you repair the road." Tan Dasha is actually not a fool. His IQ is fine, mainly because he has never studied any books, and is honest and looks stupid, which gives people the feeling that he is a fool with a problem with his brain.

"Don't dig yam?" Liu Qingshan couldn't help but frown when he heard this answer.

Two days ago, he agreed with the village chief that he would ask the village chief to buy the yam dug by the villagers, collect thirteen yuan per kilogram, and then take it to the county town and hand it over to the fat uncle and others. It would be sold for 17 yuan per kilogram. A kilogram would make a few dollars, and a few hundred yuan per kilogram could make a kilogram in a day.

The villagers knew that the village chief was very motivated after purchasing yam. Except for those lazy men who could not help the wall and the elderly, weak, sick and disabled who were not dispatched, almost all those who still had some strength went out to dig yam.

I heard that even Chen Xiaofang's girl has entered the mountain.

Yam is sold for thirteen yuan per pound. If you can dig ten pounds a day, it will be 130 yuan. I have said before that it will only cost 60 yuan to pick oranges for others for a day.

Although digging yam requires a lot of effort, it is much better than only earning 60 yuan if you work hard all day in the fruit forest.

Of course, some women feel that it is troublesome to find yams all over the mountains, and even if they find them, they may not be able to dig out a few kilograms of yams, so these people went to pick oranges for others.

Liu Qingshan knew about the situation of Tan Dasha’s family.

Tan Dasha's father is in poor health and is already in his eighties. Although he can still walk and do some housework, he can no longer do heavy work.

Although Mrs. Tan is in good health, she still needs to go to the hospital for some nutritional injections all year round to do her job.

If a middle-aged man with a strong body and a flexible brain, it would not be too hard to maintain a family, but Tan Dasha's mind is not very clever and stupid, he will always be instigated by lazy people in the village.

Some lazy men don’t do their own work, so they instigate Tan Dasha to help him. After finishing the work, they just don’t pay for it. Sometimes they don’t even care about food.

Against this background, Liu Qingshan hopes that Tan Dasha can seize this opportunity, dig more yam and save more money.

Although Tan Dasha is not very smart, digging yam does not require high IQ, as long as you have strength, it is enough. Tan Dasha is big and thick, so it is absolutely fine to dig ten kilograms of yam a day.

If you are lucky, it is probably easy to dig twenty kilograms.

Ten pounds are 13, and twenty pounds are more than two hundred.

This money is of course nothing to Liu Qingshan now, but for Tan Dasha and Old Lady Tan, it is definitely a huge income.

Think about it, if you could dig more than ten kilograms of yam every day for a month, it would cost thousands of dollars.

Liu Qingshan looked at Tan Dasha's silly look and frowned and said, "Uncle Dasha, you'd better go dig yam. I'll just practice this path myself."

Tan Dasha's real name is Tan Yonghua, and his elder brother is Tan Yongcai.

This is a very common name in the local area. In a village alone, there are probably several people who call this name.

Although the name is very ordinary, everyone is more willing to call him Tan Dasha.

This name is not to make fun of him, but just thinks he is stupid, has no scheming, and is usually enthusiastic about people, so I think that a down-to-earth name like Dasha is more suitable for him.

Over time, everyone called him stupid, and even Mrs. Tan called him like that.

Dasha also knew that this name was not a derogatory term, so he didn't resist.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan called him "The Great Uncle Dasha" not a derogatory or teasing meaning, it was just a very ordinary title, just like he called the village chief the village chief uncle.

Tan Dasha grinned, looked at the birds in the forest not far away, and said slowly: "Well, no, I won't go, my mother asked me to build a road for you."

"It's really no need, Uncle Dasha, you go dig yam, work harder, dig more, and you can sell it for a little more."

"If you don't go, my mother asked me to build roads for you." Tan Dasha repeated.

Liu Qingshan was speechless.

He turned his head and looked at the quiet forests around him, as well as the dense bushes and small woods on both sides of the stream.

Although it is close to the foot of the mountain, because it is close to a stream, no one has cultivated the two large areas of mountains beside the stream.

He thought about it and suddenly laughed: "That's OK, then you can help me build the road."

In fact, whether he agrees or does not agree to Tan Dasha stay, Tan Dasha will not leave. He is a stupid person and cannot turn around. Since his mother told him that he wanted him to build the road, of course he would not walk away easily.

Now, with the help of Tan Dasha, the mountain road is easier to build.

Although Tan Dasha is not as strong as Liu Qingshan, his efficiency will be different if he works with two more hands.

The place under construction is now small wood forest. There are many small trees with arms thickness here. After cutting down the small trees, you have to shave the branches of the small trees, cut the bark and throw them aside to dry.

In this way, when you finish work, you can also bring a bundle of firewood home.

Tan Dasha was stunned when she saw that Liu Qingshan was working in an amazing speed and was very strong.

Moreover, Liu Qingshan sometimes was too lazy to use a hatchet to break a piece of wood as thick as an arm, threw it aside, and broke another piece.

Tan Dasha was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Qingshan, what kind of wood you broke? Why is it so easy to break?"

His question only shows that deep down he could not believe that human strength could be so great.

Liu Qingshan looked back at Tan Dasha on the side and smiled and said, "A normal wood, what kind of wood can it be? I have great strength, so the wood will definitely break easily."

"But this is too easy." Tan Dasha stared at Liu Qingshan with disbelief and broke another piece of wood, and said as if he was pleased, "Hehe, Qingshan, teach me how to be as powerful as you. If I can also be as powerful as you, I can cut a lot of firewood from now on."

Hearing this, Liu Qingshan couldn't laugh and cry: "Why are you going to cut so much firewood?"

"Of course it's used to burn it." Tan Dasha looked at the wild wood that was cut down by Liu Qingshan in front and said with great anticipation, "If I could cut a lot of firewood, then our family would not be cold in winter."

Although the climate in this area is warm, if it is late winter and rainy, the temperature will still become very low.

Of course, the temperature will not be as low as zero. However, the wet and cold in the south are terrible, it is the kind of bone-eroding cold. If the cold is not maintained properly, many elderly people will have joint pain so much that they cannot go out, and some people will have to be sent to the hospital for medical treatment.

The south is not as good as the north. It is said that there is heating in the north. But there is no in the south.

People in the mountains in the south basically rely on burning charcoal or firewood to keep warm in winter. Those who are rich will burn electric heating fans or something.

However, most people in the mountains are reluctant to burn electric heating fans because it consumes too much electricity and needs two kilowatt-hours in an hour, which is really impossible to burn.
