At the end of March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and it is spring again.

Three days have passed since Huo Zongming's burial, and everyone's grief has gradually eased, and after living in his hometown for a few days, Huo Chengzhi decided to build the road leading to the town from Huojia Village in the name of his father.

Huo Yaowen had an idea about building roads when he came back the year before last, but at that time, the mainland policy was not opened, private roads were not allowed to be built, and foreign donations were not allowed, so it was delayed.

When he returned to his hometown to visit relatives last year, Huo Yaowen brought up the old matter again, but the village party secretary has been hesitant to build roads. It's not that he doesn't want to repair the village party secretary, but after all, Huo Yaowen is now settled in Hong Kong and is considered a Hong Kong resident.

At that time, Huo Yaowen thought about looking for Director Ma, but later delayed it because of other things.

Now that Huo Chengzhi has once again proposed to repair the road, the village party secretary agrees, but whether it can be repaired or not still needs him to report to the town and wait for the decision of the town leaders.

The village party secretary thought for a while and replied: "This matter should not be a problem, build a stone road leading to the town, I think the leaders of the town should agree." ”

Huo Chengzhi thanked: "Then trouble you, Uncle Seven." ”

"It should be, it should be. The village party secretary hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Chengzhi, you have the heart to help repair the road in the village, and we should be grateful." ”

Huo Chengzhi smiled slightly, and continued: "Uncle Seventh has nothing to be grateful for, everyone is from the same village, and it will be convenient for me to return to my hometown after the road is repaired." Moreover, Yaozu and I will return to Hong Kong in a few days, and we will have to bother Uncle Seventh to help take care of the road. ”

The village party secretary patted his chest and promised: "This Chengzhi, don't worry, as long as the above agrees to us to build the road, I will definitely do my best to repair the road in the village!"

The road leading to the town in Huojia Village is actually not very bad, except for the roadbed at the entrance of the village, which is very narrow and cannot be used by cars, it is basically gentle, and there are not too many potholes.

As long as the town agrees, it only needs to expand the roadbed at the entrance of the village, and then fill the pothole with stones, which is almost enough.

As for why cement roads or asphalt roads are not built, this is mainly due to lack of resources.

You must know that at this time, there are few good waterways in Guangzhou, let alone asphalt roads.

At this time, domestic cement is in short supply, not only some domestic self-built projects are needed, such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai and other cities that have taken the lead in reform and opening up, the demand for cement is an astronomical amount.

Huo Yaowen also came up with a sum of money, but Huo Chengzhi shook his head and refused, according to Huo Chengzhi's meaning, repairing the road in the village can be regarded as accumulating yin virtue for his father, and he should be responsible for being a son.

Seeing that the uncle was insistent, Huo Yaowen didn't say anything more, but secretly contacted Director Ma, hoping that through Director Ma's relationship, the town could approve the road repair documents as soon as possible.

Within two days, Director Thoma's relationship and the matter of building the road soon came to an eyebrow, and the leaders of the town approved the document of Huo Chengzhi's funding for the road repair.

The approved document is issued, and the follow-up things are much easier. Huo Chengzhi directly handed over all the 100,000 yuan of foreign exchange rolls that had already been exchanged to the village party secretary, and asked him to recruit people from the village to repair the road by himself.

At this time, although it was spring ploughing, Huo Chengzhi's salary was very high, not only one dollar a day, but also a lunch package, plus it was also to build roads for his village, so there was an endless stream of people who came to sign up.

When the stones purchased by the village party secretary from outside arrived, the villagers began construction the next day. Huo Chengzhi saw that the road construction was on the right track, and he was worried about his old mother who was alone in Hong Kong, so he took his eldest aunt back first, leaving Huo Yaozu and his wife to stay in their hometown for a while longer.

……

On the other end, Huo Yaowen sent Huo Chengzhi and his wife to leave by boat, and he led Huo Yaozu to the Zhongshan Food Factory in the county. In the past half a month since I returned to my hometown, Director Liu of the county's Light Industry Bureau sent people over several times to invite Huo Yaowen to the food factory to have a look, but because Huo Yaowen couldn't get out of his body at that time, he didn't have time until today.

"Brother Yaozu, Brother Yaowen. ”

As soon as Huo Yaowen and the others arrived at the door of the food factory, they saw Huo Yaoguang coming towards him with a smile.

"You're here to shine. Huo Yaozu smiled.

Huo Yaowen looked at the cousin and asked, "Director Liu has arrived?"

When the grandfather was buried not long ago, Huo Yaoguang naturally rushed back, but at that time he was wearing a white mourning dress, and the whole person couldn't see any change because of the sadness on the road. But at this moment, I suddenly saw that I was wearing a navy blue tunic and my eyes were bright, and I was much more energetic than when I was farming in the countryside before.

Not long after arriving, Huiying received Director Liu and them in the office. ”

While speaking, Huo Yaoguang led Huo Yaowen and Huo Yaozu to the food factory.

Zhongshan Food Factory covers a total area of almost 200 acres, not too big and not small, in addition to the production workshop, there is a freezer and a reserve warehouse. There are more than 800 production workers, packers, and unloaders, and there are almost 800 people in front and back, which is one of the largest factories in the entire county.

In this food factory, Huo Yaowen invested more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars. Most of this money is basically used to buy foreign advanced production equipment and assembly lines, and it didn't cost much to build a food factory, and Zhongshan County is responsible for the land.

The food factories are mainly sold in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and it is difficult to compete with those old brands, so they can only produce oyster sauce, soy sauce, sweet and spicy sauce and other condiments.

On the way, Huo Yaowen looked at the scale of the food factory, and asked Huo Yaoguang, who was leading the way: "Yaoguang, how is the sales of the food factory now?"

"Last year, we sold more than 70,000 boxes of oyster sauce and more than 30,000 boxes of soy sauce and sweet and spicy sauce. When it came to the sales volume in the factory, Huo Yaoguang gushed endlessly.

During the conversation, Huo Yaowen knew a little about the specific situation in the factory.

Construction started in March last year, and full-scale production began in July, focusing on Zhongshan oyster sauce, which was operated by a food company established by the Huanyu Group in Hong Kong, and is very popular in Southeast Asia because of its high quality and low price.

In less than half a year, more than 70,000 boxes of Zhongshan oyster sauce were sold, or more than 700,000 bottles were sold based on 10 bottles per box. The quantity sounds like a lot of sales, but it's actually not much at all.

Lee Kum Kee, founded by Lee Kum Sheung, the inventor of oyster sauce, is a big brand in Hong Kong, almost monopolizing the entire oyster sauce market in Hong Kong and Macau, and also occupies a large market share in Southeast Asia. In recent years, it has been exported to Europe and the United States, and the brand of Lee Kum Kee can be described as the first class among oyster sauces!

Zhongshan oyster sauce can sell 70,000 pieces in Southeast Asia, in addition to the good quality, the most important thing is that the price is cheap, otherwise, the first target for ordinary people is Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce.

After walking for about five or six minutes, the three of them soon came to a three-story office building in the food factory.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Director Liu walking out happily.

Huo Yaowen shook hands with Director Liu and smiled: "I'm sorry Director Liu, I'm a step late." ”

"It's not too late, it's not too late, I've only been here for a long time. ”

Director Liu shook his head, and then said, "I know that Mr. Huo's family has passed away, and I ask for condolences." ”

Huo Yaozu, who was beside him, was a little sad when he heard the festival mourning.

Huo Yaowen noticed the change in his cousin, sighed in his heart, and said to Director Liu: "Director Liu has a heart." My uncle went to Hong Kong in his early years because of the war, and although he returned to his hometown once last year, he fulfilled his wish to return to his hometown for more than 30 years, but I think his old man can return to his roots this time, and he must be smiling under Jiuquan. ”

Director Liu glanced at Huo Yaozu, who was sad, and thought that this should be the old man's descendant, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the reincarnation of birth, old age, sickness and death, the old people pay attention to a fallen leaf and return to the roots, Mr. Huo not only completes the wish of leaving his hometown for many years, but can also return to his homeland for burial, we should be happy as younger generations." ”
