During the Chinese New Year this year, the Wang family spent a lot of money, buying fur coats, Moutai wine, Chinese cigarettes, big fish and meat, and finally spent more than 30,000 yuan.

In the fourth year of junior high school, Zhao Shitang's family, Zhao Shitao's family, and Zhao Shihai's family all came to Wang Shaodong's house in Taohualing Village.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Shaodong's family went to Wang Shaodong's aunt's house to play for another day.

In the sixth year of junior high school, Wang Shaodong went to his second aunt's house to play for another day.

Wang Shaodong's eldest aunt and second aunt came to Wang's house to play for another day, and in this way, by the eighth day of the first month, Wang Shaodong's relatives were gone, and the year was almost over.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the first month, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were sent away, and then Wang Shaodong and Wang Fumin discussed it and decided to drink a starting wine tomorrow, even if it was officially started.

So, Wang Fumin went to the families who planned to follow him next year, and gave a notice to come to their house for a drink tomorrow.

Tomorrow will officially start, which means that he will give these twelve people money to start work from tomorrow. I can't be stupid enough to say that I give them the start of work for nothing, so I should arrange for them to do some work.

When it comes to the work at hand, there are indeed a lot of things.

On the farm's side, the cleaning starts and the cage equipment is ready, and then the next step is to put the chickens on right away.

Ma Zhentang, He Jiaxiang and He Jiaqing, plus Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang's wives, a total of eight people can do these jobs.

Then the cage chicken equipment, as long as the money is in place, can be shipped immediately, which Wang Shaodong understands very well.

In addition to the work on the chicken farm, the main work of the Wang family is on the reservoir side.

When drinking on the first day of the new year, Wu Youguang said that the Wang family's investment in the construction of the reservoir was 100% supported by the county, and then the procedures could not come down until February of the lunar calendar, but their family could start work first, and Wu Youguang could take care of anything.

With the words of the village chief, the Wang family was relieved.

As long as the village supports this kind of thing, the above will not say that there is too much of a problem.

On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, he drank the starting wine, and then Wang Shaodong took Su Yulong, Liu Yujiang, Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao to Wujiayuzi.

Everyone drank some wine, and they were a little high-spirited in Wujiayuzi.

Hearing that the Wang family was going to build a big reservoir here, the entire Taohualing Village was full of expectations.

After all, once the reservoir is built, the thousands of acres of dry land downstream of Wujiayuzi will immediately be watered.

In the lower reaches of Wujiayuzi, because of the mountain floods every year, thousands of acres of land have not been able to harvest much grain. If a reservoir is built in Wujiayuzi upstream, then these mountainous areas in the lower reaches of Wujiayuzi will immediately become watered land, and the entire Taohualing Village can increase more than three acres of fertile land per capita, which is definitely a good thing for the benefit of the township.

Whoever dares to raise objections to such an investment is really doing the right thing with the whole village.

Wang Shaodong understood this very well, so on the eighth day of the first lunar month, he took his first trip to Wujiayuzi to see the situation first.

The whole Wujiayuzi, Wang Shaodong has been here countless times, there is a cliff as high as more than 30 meters high in the southernmost part of Wujiayuzi, from the cliff to the north, the terrain slowly becomes shorter, to the exit of Wujiayuzi to form a gourd-shaped terrain. The narrowest point of the Wujiayuzi exit is only about 100 meters, and that place is the most suitable place to build a barrage.

The whole Wujiayuzi is mostly bluestone slabs that do not grow things, this piece was not looked at by anyone before, and later it was given to Liu Yujiang and Su Yulong after it was opened, and I wanted to plant some fruit trees on the mountain in exchange for money. However, even the fruit trees don't grow much here, so after Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang ran Wujiayuzi for a few years, they finally abandoned the wasteland and went to work in construction.

Hearing that the Wang family was going to build a reservoir in this place, Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang not only admired it, but also admired it.

Su Yulong is a man with five big and three thick, while Liu Yujiang is a small thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

When they arrived at Wujiayuzi, Wang Shaodong took the four of them along the entire Yuzi circle, and he asked Zheng Hui to bring a pen, that place needs to be filled with an excavator, and where it needs to be bulldozed, it needs to be recorded.

The Wang family's funds are limited, and it is impossible to find a professional design team to carry out the overall planning of the place. If you really find the team of the design institute to design, I am afraid that the budget of 200,000 yuan is absolutely not enough.

After a circle, Wang Shaodong and the others returned home, and then they were busy with the total number of places that needed to be bulldozed and padded soil, and how many excavators needed to be hired.

At half past seven in the evening of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wang Shaodong's team calculated that if Wujiayuzi wanted to build a reservoir, they had to find three excavators and work for two weeks.

It costs 600 yuan a day to hire an excavator, 1,080 a day for three excavators, and more than 25,000 yuan for two weeks.

Although this budget was not in Wang Shaodong's plan, after these works, the storage capacity in the reservoir will increase a lot in the next step, which is also very necessary.

In addition, like many reservoirs, the conditions for planting lotus roots are met after leveling, otherwise it is impossible to plant lotus roots in potholes.

During the Chinese New Year, Wang Shaodong's father and son also did a good job in the division of labor, his father Wang Fumin was responsible for the chicken farm, and Wang Shaodong was responsible for the construction of the reservoir.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wang Shaodong's team went around Wujiayuzi, and then at the beginning of the ninth lunar month, Wang Shaodong sent Liu Yujiang to find three excavators and went up the mountain.

Liu Yujiang has been engaged in construction for several years, and he is also an acquaintance with these excavators.

After the excavator came, Wang Shaodong, Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao stared at Wujiayuzi every day.

The excavator entered the construction site, and then on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Su Yulong and they contacted three construction teams to start building the barrage.

For the design and planning of the dam body, Wang Shaodong did not dare to be sloppy, if the dam design was not good, and it collapsed, then his family could not afford to pay for how much money.

Therefore, for the dam body, Wang Shaodong went to the Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant Design Institute to find an expert and spent 5,000 yuan to carry out a professional design.

According to Wang Shaodong's request, the entire 100-meter barrage, the middle 50 meters were rubberized, and then the 50 meters on both sides were built with stone walls.

The project started on the twelfth day of the first month, and the big contractor didn't have to worry about the meal.

Although the employees of the three construction teams don't have to take care of the food, Su Yulong, Liu Yujiang, Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao also have to eat. So every day at noon, Wang Shaodong would arrange for Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao to take turns to go down the mountain to get food.

The construction of the reservoir is on the right track, and the cage chicken equipment on the chicken farm has also been put in place, and the next step is the construction of the orchard and the experiment of raising chickens on Songbai Mountain.
