Chapter 113, Proposal for Railroad Construction

After the 30th lunar month, when I got up early in the morning, the uncle called people from one family to bring fishing nets to the river to gather. According to custom, there must be fish for the New Year, and there will be more than enough every year! Now there are a lot of fish in Cuiwei Lake, and they are still big.

Li Ya came to the dock empty-handed, there were already a lot of people, and there were already two boats in the lake. The shore is also preparing, several large wooden basins are placed in a row, and several people are taking buckets to fetch water and fill pots. Li Ya picked up the bucket that was put aside, came to the lake and squatted, stretched the bucket crookedly into the water, lifted it up, filled with a bucket of water, carried it easily three or two times, poured it and returned, and after a while, several wooden basins were full.

Filled with a few sat on the side in the vernacular, waiting for the ship to come back.

Fishing is not fun, the nets are cast into the water and dragged by boats, but you need to be guided by experienced veterans. So Li Ya didn't get on the boat to find that he was tired, and sat on the dock talking and laughing.

Half an hour later, the ships came back one after another. Everyone was busy putting the fish into the pot, and the two families took the bucket away.

After dividing the fish, the next step is to kill the cow, and the Angus cow raised in the village pulled two heads out and killed the meat.

A few years ago, the village killed this kind of Western beef cattle to share the meat for the New Year, and everyone was accustomed to it.

"This beef is too tender to taste. The second aunt carried the meat and asked, "If you don't kill this cow in the next year, kill the little yellow cow, that meat is fragrant and chewy, how good!"

"It's good to have something to eat!" The uncle commanded the meat distribution next to him, and said after listening to the words of the second uncle, "When I was hungry a few years ago, let alone this meat, even the wild vegetables were mushy and rushed to swallow it." Besides, it's good meat. Didn't you hear about the third year of junior high school? Those big hotels in Western countries use this kind of beef, and it's very expensive. How much is the meat of a small calf?"

"What the second aunt said was the truth. Li Ya said on the side, "We are used to frying and stewing, and the meat must be chewy to be fragrant and flavorful." To be honest, although this thing is expensive, it is really unacceptable. Why don't you buy a scalper and kill the meat. ”

"Where can I buy it? whose cattle are not kept for ploughing and are willing to sell them to you?" said the uncle.

"That's right, isn't there a saying that money can make ghosts grind?" Li Ya said, "Give an extra few hundred yuan, who won't sell it? ”

"That's nice, which one has idle cattle to sell now?" said the uncle.

"Doesn't our village have a cultivator? Killing a cow will not affect next year's farmland. The third uncle said, "Why don't you kill my family? Just borrow it when you plow the land at the beginning of the year, and you don't have to do it next year, how good!"

"Third uncle, is it really killing?" Li Ya asked, "If you really kill, pull it over." ”

"Kill, kill, kill, but money is indispensable. The third uncle said.

"Of course the money was given. Li Ya called Li Yuanfang, "Yuanfang, you go with the third uncle to bring the cow." ”

Li Ya's favorite dish for Chinese New Year's Eve rice is three dishes, one is sour shoot fish. The sour bamboo shoot fish is not only delicious, but the soup is more delicious, and the sour taste is more special than that of the sauerkraut fish, which is sour and fresh, making people want to drink it more and more when they drink it.

Another dish is beef with green vegetables. It is also a soup dish, and there are not only vegetables added to it, but green vegetables are the most important one. The dish cooked in this way has the bitter and astringent taste of green vegetables in the beef, which is very special when added up, and it is a must when dipped in peppers with mint.

The third course is a simple sautéed pork fillet with kohlrabi. You can't use shredded meat in this dish, and the shredded meat and kohlrabi will not taste good, so you have to use sliced meat. Kohlrabi is also shredded, but it can't be cut too finely, if it's too fine, it won't have the original bitter and astringent taste, it's too thick and not easy to fry, and the width of two millimeters is just right.

This year's New Year is very good, at least there is TV to watch, a large family sits together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, although this Spring Festival Gala was rated as a failure, but the family does not understand these, and still watches it with relish. "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" and "The Fifteenth Moon" are put on the stage, as well as Chen Peisi Zhu Shimao, Li Ya can also watch it, but the second half of the section is not interested.

The weather was handed over at twelve o'clock, and the New Year's Eve was over, so I was so sleepy that I went to bed quickly.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year the next day, Li Ya got up early in the morning, washed up and ate a bowl of rice balls, and came to the bottom of the big tree with mahjong and a table mat.

"In the third year of junior high school, come and play cards. ”

"What are you carrying?"

"Mahjong. Li Ya said, "But there is no table." ”

"Mahjong? I've heard of it, how do you play it?" Li Yuanfang heard that it was mahjong, and hurriedly said, "Don't play cards, change mahjong, I heard that this thing is very fun." "Today he played with a bad hand and had already lost a lot. Although it is sugar that is lost, it is boring to lose all the time.

Playing mahjong is indeed more fun than playing cards, and more and more people gather at the table, all rushing to rotate and not end until the next night.

In the evening of the next day, the town secretary quietly came to Li Ya's house. Li Ya and the secretary talked outside for more than half an hour, and sent the secretary back to the house, Shu Yue asked Li Ya: "What are you looking for?"

"It's nothing, it's not that he's going to be transferred to the city, to thank us for helping the town over the years. Li Ya replied.

"You've just built a hospital, a few schools, and subsidized some money for private teachers and some students. Shu Yue said, "What really makes life better in the town is tobacco and farming. "Don't say Shu Yue's words, hit the nail on the head.

"Although it is tobacco, I have also contributed a lot to tobacco cultivation. Li Ya said, "Besides, the salary of private teachers is raised by the town itself, which is not a small number, and I have paid this part of the money, which is a big problem for the town." ”

Shu Yue smiled and didn't say anything more. She knew what the secretary meant, the promotion benefited from Li Ya, and Li Ya was not only rich, but also a guest in the city and state, and it was beneficial for him to have a good relationship with Li Ya, and he might need Li Ya's help at some point. Besides, he is from this town, and he will come sooner or later, with Li Ya here, the development of the town will definitely not be bad in the future, and relatives and friends will benefit.

On the third day of junior high school, the people working in the pharmaceutical factory in the village set off, and Li Ya and the others also went to the pharmaceutical factory as usual to see the situation of the pharmaceutical factory in person. The development of the pharmaceutical factory is the same every year, and when the factory is big, it is not easy to manage.

Then I went around the city, and now there are a few new streets in the city, and many shops have opened, and it looks like a thriving scene at a glance. I found a shop to enter, mutton powder, Xing, Yiming snacks, spicy, a bowl of sweat slightly out, very enjoyable.

In the evening, I went to visit some leaders as usual, although Li Ya has donated a lot in the state over the years, but he also has to visit, after all, the pharmaceutical factory is under the nose of others. In this way, there will be fewer officials and obstacles on the surface, and production and operation can be carried out with peace of mind.

Li Ya's visit to the leaders was very welcome, after all, Li Ya not only donated, but also gave them a lot of ideas, and the economic development of the state is much better than that of neighboring states and cities, which is a real political achievement. Again, the urban planning suggestions proposed by Li Ya are far more complete than those designed and submitted by the state. Although it is only a prototype now, it will eventually become a beautiful modern city.

"Now there are quite a few industries in the state, and they are all developing well, do you want to see if there is any idea of building a factory in the state?" As the leader of a state's political and business affairs, the governor is most concerned about economic development. He also lobbied Li Ya before, but Li Ya politely declined. But now that the state's factories are doing well, he's starting to think about it again.

"Governor, governor, it's too remote here to develop. Li Ya said honestly, "If you want me to say, it's better to write an application for building a railway." Our state is still very rich in products, and there are many factories, so in addition to meeting the needs of the whole state, these products must be shipped out before they can be sold at a price. Now there are things, they can't be shipped, and they can't be sold for money. The products produced by the enterprise can be sold, and the enterprise can develop better and better. ”

"Railroad construction? That requires the approval of the state. The governor said. Building a railway is not just about repairing it, there is a lot of investment, and without state funding, it is a fool's dream to want to build a railway.

"So write an application?" Li Ya said, "Propose a good plan early and send it up, and then send one every year, and beg someone to pretend to be pitiful." Crying children have milk to eat, and when the country wants to build roads in the future, they can think of this place first, otherwise they will have to wait. ”
