Chapter 16 Excavator Apprentice

"How many more can I want? No, fifteen pounds, why don't you grab it?" Yu Qingyang said angrily.

"Boss Yu, this price is not high!"

"It's not high? You bully me and I don't understand the market? The mutton on the market, the best mutton is only ten yuan a catty!"

"Boss Yu, that's ordinary mutton, I'm an authentic green goat!"

"I'm talking about green goats! Ordinary mutton costs seven or eight yuan a pound!"

"Okay, Boss Yu, how much do you say?"

"The live sheep said, seven yuan a catty, you have to help us kill it, okay?"

"Boss Yu, this is too little! It's not enough money!"

"In a word, do you want to sell it?" asked Yu Qingyang, who stared at Xiaomei's father.

If he hadn't interjected and didn't have any eyesight, Yu Qingyang wouldn't mind the price being a little higher for him.

"This ......"

Xiaomei's father wanted to sell but didn't want to sell, so he looked around, trying to find someone to help talk.

He knew that these people were big leaders and would not worry about a few dollars with him.

This is also the cunning of the peasants!

"You don't have to go around, just say a word, sell it or not!"

"Brother Yu?"

"Brother Hua, the price I give is not low, the sheep dealer can give him five yuan a pound at most when he comes to collect the sheep!" Yu Qingyang explained.

This sentence was also explained to several big leaders of Peony City.

It's not that I'm harsh on the people under your rule, it's that your people are not greedy enough.

"Okay, Boss Yu, how many do you want?" In the end, Xiaomei's father still chose to sell it.

"Let's kill two first!

Brother Song, you follow Lao Lu to weigh it and let him help kill it!" Yu Qingyang shouted to Brother Song, who was secretly watching from the side.

"Got it!" Brother Song agreed from afar, and walked directly to the flock to choose the sheep.

……

Don't look at Xiaomei's father who is a little cunning, but his sheep is really a good sheep.

I usually don't feed at all, and all I eat is green fodder.

In this way, the sheep is raised with delicate meat and fresh tenderness.

The stewed sheep is in a pot, and Yu Qingyang followed the sheep stewing skills learned by others in his last life.

Don't put any big ingredients such as peppercorns, star anise, and big back, just put some green onions and ginger, and then put a few cut tomatoes.

Of course, salt is a must.

This method of lamb stew is said to be the method of lamb stew on the NMG side.

"Well, that's good! Brother Yu, this mutton is really good, it doesn't smell at all, it doesn't taste big, and it tastes very fresh. Zhang Hua ate very deliciously and was amazed.

At noon, except for Zhang Hua, who ate very deliciously, the others were just like Yu Qingyang thought, and the food was called awkward.

Several big leaders behaved very close to the people, constantly chatting with the workers, asking them if they were tired from work, whether they missed home, and what difficulties they had in life.

After eating the mutton, Zhang Hua and Secretary Lin left quickly.

At noon the next day, Yu Qingyang took Brother Song to the Peony City Railway Station.

The people Yu Qingyang entrusted Brother Song to find arrived, and they came to pick up the station.

After waiting for a short time, the train arrived at the station, and Brother Song went over to bring people over.

"Little boss, this is my younger brother, these are also from our village!

These are people from Yangzi Village!"

Brother Song pointed to the twelve young people he had brought over and introduced them to Yu Qingyang.

These people are the people that Yu Qingyang asked Brother Song and Brother Yang to find for him.

They were all sixteen or seventeen half-grown children.

These half-grown children are apprentices recruited by Yu Qingyang in order to train excavator drivers.

In the next 20 years, there will be a lot of earthworks on water conservancy, and you don't have to worry about running out of work if you buy a few excavators.

It can be said that it is a profitable investment project.

But the driver is not easy to find, and Lanxiang Technical School is still the third class in the army.

It was not until next year that he disassociated himself from the army and began to recruit students.

So Yu Qingyang can only train himself, using someone else's excavator to train his own driver, this deal is still very cost-effective!

You know, apprentices don't need to be paid, and they will only be paid after they leave the school.

"Okay, it's all very energetic! Thank you Brother Song!" Yu Qingyang nodded with satisfaction.

I found a minibus from the county and sent eight and a half of the children directly to the Hongweihe project.

Yu Qingyang was assigned two apprentices according to one excavator.

Sending eight apprentices to the Hongweihe project, Yu Qingyang invited all the excavator drivers and mechanics to a meal.

After eating, Yu Qingyang gave each of them a red envelope, asking them to take their apprentices well, and when they came out of the school, they would give them a big red envelope.

Anyway, the excavator is public, and it doesn't burn their oil, and Yu Qingyang is so generous, patting his chest one by one and saying that he must teach it well and guarantee that Yu Qingyang will be trained.

"Brother Yang, don't be reluctant to spend money, since we want to learn the craft from others, we can't be stingy!

You have to keep an eye on it, make them diligent, and do the work of making butter and refueling!

Also, your mouth should be sweeter, and let the master light more cigarettes!" Before leaving, Yu Qingyang pulled Brother Yang aside and explained.

"Don't worry, little boss! I know in my heart, I will let these boys learn the craft!" Brother Yang patted his chest and promised.

On the Hongwei River, although Yu Qingyang does not need to manage the work, everything is arranged by the project department, but there must be one of your own people to keep an eye on the refueling.

So he transferred Brother Yang to the side of the Hongwei River, responsible for refueling the excavators, and taking care of the lives of these excavator drivers and mechanics.

As for things like refueling, which involve money, why not use relatives?

Hehe!

In these days, relatives may not be reliable!

Yu Qingyang has seen a lot on the construction site, and the real pits are those relatives.

Pit up, more ruthless than outsiders!

Of course, Yu Qingyang really has no suitable relatives to use.

Although there are a few poor relatives, they are not very reliable.

But those cousins, don't say anything.

belongs to Adou who can't be helped.

After settling the apprentice, Yu Qingyang was not in a hurry to return to the Qingshui Lake construction site.

The excavator has been here for almost half a month, and this is the second time Yu Qingyang has come to the Hongweihe construction site.

Since you are here, if you don't go to the project department to report, you can't say anything.

Although Yu Qingyang drank a lot of wine at the banquet for the excavator masters in the evening, with his current amount of wine, these two or three catties of wine are not in the way at all.

Just a slight blush.

Come to the project department's residence.

The living conditions on this side of the Hongwei River are better than those on the Qingshui Lake.

Rented is a semi-refurbished yard.

As soon as I entered the door, in the hall, there were two people on both sides of the Eight Immortals Table.

On the left is a tall, burly middle-aged man with messy hair, a red rosacea, a scruffy beard, and a half-worn shirt with a deflected collar.

This raunchy middle-aged man is the manager of the General Earthwork Branch of the Provincial Water Conservation Department and the project manager of the Hongweihe construction site, Manager Niu.

On the right is an old man, who is much more delicate than Manager Niu.

Gray hair, meticulous combing, snow-white short-sleeved shirt, and a plum watch with a bright plum blossom on his left wrist, which is very conspicuous.

This is Vice President Liu of the Provincial Water Governor, who was sent by the company to press the battle for Manager Niu!

Yu Qingyang glanced at the door and did not go in.

There's a meeting going on inside.

As soon as he stood at the door, the people inside also saw him, and Manager Niu gestured to the next room, meaning to let him go to the next room first and wait for a while.

When I came to the next room, there was an old man inside, it was Manager Niu's father, who had nothing to do after retirement, and came to the construction site to cook for everyone.

"Uncle Niu!"

"You are?"

"Uncle Niu, I'm Yu Qingyang, I came here not long ago!"

"Oh! You are Yu Qingyang! I heard them talk about you, you came to find a good harvest?"

"Yes, I'm looking for Manager Niu!"

"Alas, it's running away again! The southern barbarians have also run away, so don't you hold a meeting to study the plan!" Uncle Niu sighed, his face full of sadness.

This is the father, even if the son is already a branch manager, the father will be troubled by the son's troubles.

Hongwei River is an artificial river connecting the Yellow River and Shaoyang Lake.

The reason why the Yellow River is called the Yellow River is because there is more sediment in the water and the water quality is yellow!

Therefore, most of the silt in the Hongwei River is the sediment brought by the water of the Yellow River.

The dredging of the Hongwei River, according to the condition of the foundation, several construction schemes were used.

Where the geological conditions are better, use excavators to remove silt with muck trucks.

Almost used an excavator to shake off the square and clean up the silt.

A little more almost with a scraper to clean up the sludge.

Worst, near the middle of the river, no machinery is used, and only high-pressure water cannons can be used to carry out manual dredging.

Uncle Niu said that running water is a problem with the high-pressure water gun and manual dredging.

The high-pressure water gun cooperates with manual dredging, and a sedimentation tank needs to be built, and the water pressure of the high-pressure water gun is used to turn the precipitated sludge into mud, and then the mud is transported to the sedimentation tank with a mud pump for sedimentation.

Now it's the sedimentation tanks that are in trouble.

The vicinity of the Hongwei River is a silted plain, mostly sandy land.

Sandy soil has a characteristic, that is, poor cohesion.

In the sedimentation tank built of sand, because of the poor cohesion of the sand, the water pressure in the sedimentation tank is large, and the embankment will burst and the water will run out.

If it's in the wilderness, it doesn't matter.

The key problem is that there are villages on both sides of the Hongwei River, and when the water runs, it will hit the villages or crops.

The last time the Hongwei River was dredged was 30 years ago, and it was only once in 30 years, and from the town, to the village committee, and then to the villagers, they all stared at the Hongwei River, as if they were getting some benefits from the Hongwei River dredging project.

The small leaders in the town, the village cadres of the village committee, there are innate conditions, as long as they want to, they can always get some benefits.

But ordinary people, no, at most, follow to do some odd jobs.

Therefore, since the sedimentation tank burst the embankment for the first time and flooded the villagers' houses, the houses were flooded, at most, they put in some mud, damaged some furniture and household appliances and other things, and cleaning them up did not affect the use, but the compensation was tens of thousands!

Now, good fellows, the villagers will find a way to make a fortune.

Seeing the sky, he hoped that the sedimentation tank would burst the embankment, so that his land or house would be flooded, and then he demanded compensation.

PS: Thank you [Generally speaking] 10,000 rewards!

Thank you for your support!

said that the Dharma Protector added more, it's not that I'm floating, it's really unaffordable.

Now I am a chapter of 3,000 words, two more a day, which is equivalent to three chapters for others, and three more are recommended, which is four and a half chapters.

If you reward and add more in the new book period, the number of words will increase too fast, which will affect the results on the shelves!

To clarify, I'm really not floating!

Of course, if you can make up for it later on the shelves, then change it to 10,000 rewards and more!
