Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Ancient Town

But Uncle Zhang still knows how to give face to reporters, and in the process of roasting tea, he will give Chen Xin a way to make a force, as well as the change of strength and the mastery of the heat.

This time, Chen Xin was also lucky to adopt the method of stir-frying and successfully completed the whole process.

The reporters took a lot of photos, more of which were photos of Uncle Zhang commanding beside him, and Chen Xin listening attentively to Uncle Zhang's explanation and serious hands-on operation. They all thought of the title, and it was called "Inheritance".

This interview is also a task issued by the city's cultural office, so that they can dig out those craftsmen who have inheritance, such as brewing, such as roasted tea, such as bamboo embroidery, etc. In addition to this, they also had to rush to another famous tea enterprise in another county and city to shoot.

After sending off the village chief and the reporters who interviewed him, Uncle Zhang silently fried the rest of the tea.

"What's wrong with Uncle? It feels like he's not in a good mood. ”

"It's thinking about the second child. Aunt Zhang glanced at her wife and sighed silently.

The second child of his family is seven years older than the eldest child, and he likes to follow his wife since he was a child, and the talent stove is high, and he will follow the roasted tea and twist the tea, if he is not going to be a soldier, I am afraid that Uncle Zhang's craftsmanship should be inherited by the second child.

Chen Xin also thought of this, her nose was also a little sour, and she felt that it was not easy for the old couple.

Thinking too much, she wanted to do something for Uncle Zhang. But what can she, a small flat-headed commoner, do?

After Chen Xin returned to the nursing home, she couldn't sleep all night, thinking about it over and over again.

Until the sky was about to dawn, she suddenly thought of a way, and carefully thought about every detail she could think of, and felt that it was very operational.

But she can't do this alone, it's best to find a few partners, and it's best if you can get official support.

After getting up, she didn't rush up the mountain, so she went to call Cheng Jie first and mentioned the matter.

Cheng Jie felt that it was a good idea after listening to what Chen Xin said. Her current work is also related to this aspect, and it just happens to be at a bottleneck, Chen Xin wants to use her work relationship to help with this thing, and then ask other friends for help. The whole program is fully operable.

"That's okay, Sister Cheng, let's see how to start first, I'll talk to Uncle Zhang and see if he is willing to cooperate. ”

If Uncle Zhang is not willing to cooperate, this matter will not be easy to handle. After all, it was digging the wound in the old man's heart, and Chen Xin didn't know if it would make the old man sad and angry.

"You said you wanted to publish a book dedicated to an old craftsman like me?"

"It's not all veterans. I want to find out the elderly people around us who are in a situation like Uncle Zhang's family, to see how they live now, and I hope that the society and the government can pay attention to their old age. ”

Uncle Zhang was silent for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed to Chen Xin's request. He is still good, and he has a daughter, and his daughter and son-in-law are very filial. But there are many old comrades-in-arms whose old age is much sadder than him. If what Chen Xin said can be realized, they can raise the income from the sale of books to set up a fund to provide the necessary living security for the elderly, so that his skills will not be handed over to Chen Xin in vain.

After Uncle Zhang agreed, Chen Xin first went back to the city and handed over the first draft of her "Taste of Flower Tea" to the editor for review. Then they went to meet with Cheng Jie and the others, and divided their work according to the agreement.

Chen Xin has a good relationship with Zhou Hao, so her task is to see if she can get a piece of information about the martyr's family from the military region through Zhou Hao. The target of the visit is then determined according to the record of the data.

After about two weeks, they identified a total of five targets to visit, among which Chen Xin was responsible for Uncle Zhang's family and another elderly man whose home was more than 40 kilometers away from Houshan.

The old man's location was in a very deserted old town. At least before this operation, Chen Xin had no idea that there was such an ancient town around. But one of the dishes associated with this place name is famous.

When Chen Xin went to the ancient town with Cheng Jie and another colleague, it was noon.

There are not many people in the ancient town, and occasionally young people with backpacks walk by in groups.

Located in the middle of nowhere, far from the centre of the township, the old and mottled walls leave only a few ruins that tell the story of history.

"Our town doesn't look good, but it has a history of more than 1,700 years, from the time of the Northern Dynasty to the beginning of the county, to the Northern Song Dynasty was merged into the current county governance. In the past, there were fewer people here, and everyone found it inconvenient, so a new farmhouse was built three kilometers across the river. However, last year, when we started planning a tourist loop, we passed through the old road outside the town, so that our town was strung together by this tourist loop. At the beginning of this year, the town government was discussing the creation of a tourist ancient town, striving to maintain the original residential style, pushing the damaged houses to reconstruction, and then dredged the river and planned the greenway along the river. ”

Although they were not reporters who came to interview, the staff of the town government still enthusiastically introduced them to the history and customs of the ancient town, and recommended a few delicious dishes.

"The old revolutionary you're looking for lives in the innermost part of this alley. Everyone be careful of your step, it just rained two days ago, and it is estimated that the sewer here is blocked, and the sewage is all overflowing. ”

On the muddy road, two columns of red bricks were placed smoothly against the walls on both sides for people to pass. Right in and left out, the width of the roadway is enough, so that two people cannot pass in parallel.

After walking through this waterlogged alley, I turned a corner and saw three or four elderly people and two middle-aged men digging a ditch.

"Are you planning to rebuild the ditch or dredge the previous one?" Xiao Wu, who led the way, stopped and asked. The town has a unified arrangement for the ancient town, and he is afraid that these townspeople are rebuilding it privately.

"Xiao Wu?" A head popped up in the courtyard next to her, and the kind grandmother smiled when she saw Xiao Wu, "You and they plan to communicate the water here." The sewer in front is estimated to be very congested, and the water has not been seen for two days, and there used to be an old waterway here but it was directly connected to the river, and it was sealed for fear of polluting the river water. But now you see that this is always waterlogged, so I want to open it for the time being, and wait for the sewer to be dredged before plugging it. ”

Xiao Wu stopped and looked at it, and said hello to several uncles of the construction and asked them not to move for the time being, saying that they had to send someone from the town to see before they could do it. Even if it is done according to their wishes, it must be recorded and backed up, and the reasons must be explained, otherwise everyone will be held accountable when the time comes.
