Chapter XXXVII
After eating, Ouyang Jian invited Secretary Li to his office, and the two chatted enthusiastically, chatting and chatting, but they didn't think it would be six o'clock in the afternoon, the two had endless words to talk about, and they had common hobbies! I felt that the two had met a confidant, although the age gap was a little bigger, but the topic was still the same.
Ouyang Jian saw that it was almost evening, looked at his watch, and said, "Secretary Li, let's go to the cafeteria for dinner, I asked Master Liu to fry four fresh dishes, you haven't eaten them!
Secretary Li then remembered the matter of seeing the handicraft workshop, and said ashamedly: "Xiao Ouyang, I'm really sorry, I patronized to chat with you, and forgot about the business······!
Ouyang Jian smiled and said: "You didn't delay my business, I don't have any loss, I wish you were my family······'s rice bucket!"
At dinner, many cadres of the commune came to accompany Secretary Li to drink, but Secretary Li refused, saying: "Don't engage in any formalism, eat meals, so many people accompany you, it's not customary, it's better to eat with Ouyang Jian! There are too many people, patronizing and talking and greeting, this dish can't be tasted, and it can't be used for two purposes, please understand, and for Secretary Ouyang's food company, this can only be like this!"
Ouyang Jian went out to explain to everyone, and everyone smiled and nodded and left. During the banquet, the two still chatted while eating, and Secretary Li was full of praise for Master Liu's craftsmanship.
The next day, as soon as the morning dawned, Secretary Li called Ouyang Jian to see the handicraft workshop, Ouyang Jian drove the car with Secretary Li alone, drove for about 20 minutes, and stopped in front of a row of houses under the mountain south of Wuyi Commune.
After getting out of the car, Ouyang Jian pointed to a neat row of houses at the foot of the mountain and said, "Secretary Li, this is our handicraft workshop, and we built the workshop here to draw local materials!
Secretary Li walked and looked, only to see that the first three rows were not houses, but three corridors, each corridor was almost 500 meters long, more than five meters wide, and there were strip-shaped wooden benches on both sides of the corridor, one next to the other, fixed on the eaves on both sides, and extended to the end. The promenade is newly built, and the wood still has traces of planing, and it looks similar to the previous long pavilion, but it is longer. Behind the corridor is the dormitory, because of the early arrival, everyone just got up and was busy washing. Seeing Secretary Xiao Ouyang coming, they all greeted each other.
Ouyang Jian walked back and forth, he also knew that Secretary Li didn't like to engage in the set of vain heads, what kind of welcome ceremony, simply not to do it, and he himself was not used to engaging in these things. asked Secretary Li to sit down on the stool in the corridor, and said, "Secretary Li, it's not even six o'clock, what are you pulling me over to see?"
Secretary Li said: "Look at the surrounding situation, so as not to come in a hurry, don't look at anything, and leave, because there is not enough time!"
Ouyang Jian smiled heartily and replied: "Secretary Li, you are the one who does things seriously, one top ten, I don't like things like you, well, while the time is early, I will take you to the mountain to see how the materials of our workshop come from, let's go!"
Secretary Li saw that the stream was full of vines on both sides, and it looked very straight, as if it had been pulled by someone, except for these green vines, there were no other shrubs and grasses, and the mountain was a bamboo forest, so he couldn't help asking: "Xiao Ouyang, why are these green vines all over the canyon, and there is no other vegetation?"
Ouyang Jian replied with a smile: "Secretary Li, this is the material of our handicraft workshop, with these materials, we can produce it year after year, you take a closer look at these rattans, what is the difference between them and other rattans?"
When Secretary Li heard Ouyang Jian say this, he squatted down, observed carefully, and looked at it for a while, only to find that these canes were about the same thickness, and they were very straight and straight, and they had been extending and growing. I couldn't help but ask, "What is this rattan for? How does it grow straight and long, and the cane stem is about the same size, and what technique is used to make it?"
Ouyang Jian replied: "Secretary Li, this vine is we have been sorted, the bad vines have long been cut off, just leave the best and straightest, and then it has to be sorted out, fixed with a mold, there is a thicker tube under each vine, it is about the same size, we went to the aluminum factory to order, three meters one, the vine was put into the groove and was fixed by the groove to death, there is no place to grow, can only grow along the straight groove." That's how it grows straight and the cane grows the same size!"
Secretary Li looked at Ouyang Jian, then opened the rattan and looked at it carefully, sure enough, there was a straight aluminum pipe under each rattan stem, and when he saw this, he quietly respected him and gave him a thumbs up.
Ouyang Jian smiled and said to Secretary Li: "We make rattan chairs for this rattan, and also make some fruit baskets and flower baskets, we all sell it to Shanghai, the price is not bad, Shanghai sometimes urges the goods, and the output is still a lot, Shanghai sells us to him, they use part of it themselves, and the rest is exported to Japan." The bamboo forest on the mountain is also a material, which is made of bamboo products, such as bamboo baskets, fruit baskets, vegetable baskets, back baskets, chairs, mats, etc., and sometimes people come to order chopsticks!"
"Hehe, there's nothing particular about this bamboo, right?" Secretary Li asked curiously.
"Oh, bamboo also has the use of bamboo, and it has a wide range of functions! But it is not as particular as rattan, as long as there is bamboo, it is the material!" Ouyang Jian explained.
Secretary Li felt that there was no need to look any further, so he said, "Let's go to the corridor and see what those craftsmen are doing!
Ouyang Jian said: "We have vines like this, our valleys, here and there, and that and that are all planted, it is estimated that the number of people doing handicrafts will double next year, fifty this year, one hundred next year, and maybe two hundred the year after next······ As he spoke, he pointed to the valleys and told Secretary Li.
When Secretary Li saw that Ouyang Jian was making calculations, he smiled and replied: "It seems that sooner or later your May Day Commune will be on the central news!
The two came to the side of the corridor after a while, only to see those craftsmen in the workshop, who had long been busy with greenery, each covering an area of about four or five meters, they each sat on their own horses, fiddling with the rattan in their hands, some made rattan chairs, some knitted fruit baskets, some weaved flower baskets, and some made bamboo products, they weaved bamboo strips in their hands, each weaving vegetable baskets, fruit baskets, back baskets, fish baskets, and some were making mats and chairs! Some of them are still playing dustpans, drying mats, etc., and everyone is showing their magical powers, breaking and weaving, weaving and weaving!
When everyone saw that Secretary Ouyang was coming, they stopped what they were doing and shouted: "Secretary Ouyang······" It seems that everyone respects him.
Ouyang Jian shouted very politely: "Grandpa Liu, you are still moving at such an old age!Xiao Lizi, why don't you study, just come to learn handicrafts?" He is very familiar with the people here, and can call out their names and names, it seems that he is very familiar with the handicraft team!
Grandpa Liu stood up and replied: "Secretary Ouyang, I'm only seventy, I'm not old, to tell the truth, a hairy boy like Xiao Lizi, he is not my opponent yet······!"
Xiao Lizi stood up and shouted: "Grandpa Liu, don't let you laugh at me, although I can't study, but I am very talented in handicraft, I will learn anything, I will be our factory director in the future, see if you are still awesome in the future!"
"Hahahaha······"
