After these days of intense construction, the outline of Xifeng Avenue has gradually taken shape, after Li Yu and the villagers decided to name the road from the carp back to the former village wharf - Xifeng Avenue, which contains a profound meaning, followed by the roadbed, pavement hardening and the construction of various culverts and drainage ditches, according to the schedule given by the construction team, the total length of 5 kilometers of Xifeng Avenue is expected to be completed before November and put into use.
According to the standard of planting one sequoia tree every 4 meters, at least 5,000 sequoia seedlings are needed on both sides of Xifeng Avenue, plus Liyubei, Qiancun Xiguatan Pier Visitor Reception Center and surrounding areas. Li Yu plans to build a real Sequoia Empire, so that every passenger can feel the unique charm of Xiaohe Village as soon as they get off the bus.
If it is replaced by another place, the amount of money required to buy these national treasure-level sequoia seedlings is quite large, and it is impossible to get it without hundreds of thousands.
However, in the mountains and forests around the back village, there are many kinds of cedar trees, and redwoods can be seen everywhere, which brings great convenience to the construction of Xifeng Avenue and does not need to be purchased. There was no need for the village committee to mobilize, and many villagers spontaneously carried hoes into the mountains, dug up suitable two-year-old redwood seedlings, put them in the built awnings, and waited to be transplanted on both sides of Xifeng Avenue.
Since the announcement of Qinghe's share composition and investment amount, the vast majority of villagers in Houcun have seen hope for the future, and their hearts have risen sharply. Therefore, in the affairs of the construction of the scenic spot, the villagers did not care, but chose to pay more. Since Li Yu was able to come up with real money to build and develop the village, what reason did the villagers have to stay out of it?
In addition to taking the initiative to dig sequoia seedlings in the mountains, villagers who deliver cigarettes and water to the workers can be seen everywhere on the construction site, and they are showing the enthusiasm of the village in their own way.
From this point of view, the villagers of Houcun have not been polluted by the commodity society of the outside world, which makes Li Yu particularly moved.
It's just that Li Yu can't predict how long the simplicity of the villagers can last after the scenic spot opens?
There are always pros and cons to growing the economy!
However, it is not allowed to let the village live in poverty and backwardness because of swallowing.
Putting aside these thoughts, Li Yu took the three and Wangcai to turn a corner towards the cloud ladder, passed through the black pine forest, and followed the chic bluestone road to the Yuhu Wharf.
Yanyan Lake was originally a dammed lake, only because the lake is crystal clear and green, it is named Jade Lake, located at the foot of Qingyun Mountain, the water source is continuous all year round, the lake surface is wide, the lake surface area is maintained at about 3,000 acres all year round, the average depth is 30 meters, and the deepest depth even exceeds 60 meters.
For all the people in the back village, the significance of Yuhu is very significant!
The ancestors of Houcun have opened up thousands of acres of fertile land around the shore of Yuhu Lake, and this fertile basin plain has an apt name - Guantian, which has also become the foundation of Houcun's survival for hundreds of years. If you use terms to describe it, Yuhu Lake is equivalent to the mother lake of Houcun.
Not far from the village, people built a wharf with bluestone slabs, logs and other building materials, and docked small wooden boats for each family.
When Li Yu came to the wharf, he was just in time for many villagers to return from fishing!
Compared with the various advanced fishing tools in the outside world, the tools used by the villagers in Houcun are a bit backward, most of them are rudimentary fishing nets, and there is even a row of cormorants standing on a boat.
Cormorant, also called water crow, ink crow, osprey, body narrower than duck, body feathers are metallic black, good at diving and fishing, straight forward when flying, the south is more raised to help fishing, in addition to the North and South Pole, almost all over the world, the bird can be domesticated and fishing, our country has been domesticated and utilized in ancient times, for common cage and free-range birds, wild cormorants are distributed throughout the country.
"Third Grandpa, how is your harvest today?" Seeing Li Dingxue rowing the boat slowly onto the dock, Li Yu hurriedly greeted.
Li Dingxue and his grandfather are brothers, a hard-working and interesting little old man, 66 years old this year, he is one of the best fishing experts in the back village.
Li Dingxue has three sons and two daughters, it is said that several children have made a lot of money outside, and they all want to take him to the city to enjoy happiness, but this old man is very stubborn, saying that the city is not as comfortable as the countryside, but the third grandmother likes to live in the city, and lives with her son for eleven months a year.
"Xiao Yu, come to the lake to inspect?" Li Dingxue said with a smile.
"Hehe, third grandfather, you're so funny!" Li Yu smiled, leaned over and said, "Let me see how the third grandfather has gained today?" ”
Before the ancestors of Houcun settled here, there were naturally no fish living in Yuhu Lake, which had been in a closed state, only some zooplankton, and over the years, the ancestors of Houcun had been stocking various fish species in Yuhu Lake in an attempt to enrich the fishery resources of Yuhu.
Over the past few hundred years, some stocked fish species have gradually adapted to the lower temperature of Yuhu Lake and multiplied, so that Yuhu Lake can provide a large number of fish to the villagers while irrigating the fertile fields of the village, although the fish resources of Qingshui River are more abundant, but the villagers have been accustomed to fishing in Yuhu, so even if Li Yu contracted Yuhu, he did not prohibit the villagers from fishing in Yuhu, after all, the cold-water fish fry are still small, and the villagers are very conscious.
Li Yu opened the lid of the fish box, and there were more than a dozen arm-long fish swimming inside, carp, crucian carp, grass carp, tilapia, all of which were ordinary fish species, these fish were fish fry purchased by the village committee from the farm a few years ago, and they have begun to have a little scale over the years.
Compared with the farmed fish fed with feed, the fish that grow in the pure natural and pollution-free environment of Yuhu Lake can be regarded as wild fish. It's just that the value of these fish is not high, and in the remote location of the village, the market for these wild fish has always been a huge problem.
"The construction team is in the village these days, and the price of fresh fish is higher!" When it comes to the harvest of the past few days, Li Dingxue's face is like a chrysanthemum blooming.
In the past, due to the inconvenience of transportation, most of Li Dingxue's catches needed to be made into dried fish and preserved fish, except for the part he ate, and the price was greatly discounted. In the past few days, because of the arrival of a large number of construction team workers, Li Dingxue's fresh fish has a market, which makes his income much more than usual.
I heard that hundreds of people in the village would come to travel every day in the future, and when I thought that my income would take a leap at that time, Li Dingxue was also full of longing.
Seeing the bright smiles on the faces of Li Dingxue and the other villagers around him, Li Yu suddenly realized that his investment had not all had a negative impact on the village, and its enthusiasm was gradually emerging.
It is everyone's right to pursue a rich material life!
Li Yu looked on the dock for a while, and soon found the boat that his family left here, jumped on it, and followed the master to the boat, but he was prosperous and slow, and jumped angrily in the eyes of the three contempts, and also got on the boat steadily.
When they were in space, the three little ones learned to swim in the pond without a teacher, so they were not afraid of water, lying on the boat gang, shouting at their reflections, but Wangcai was nervously lying in the bed cabin, not daring to move.
The unique geographical location and closed environment of the back village make the security situation here very good, and the boats of each family are simply tied to the pillars of the pier, so there is no need to worry about theft.
For hundreds of years, it hasn't changed!
In Li Yu's heart, he didn't want this tradition to disappear after the opening of the scenic spot.
Li Yu untied the cable and slowly slid into the mirror-like Jade Lake.
The Li family's boat is not large, about 8 meters long and less than three meters wide, and the middle of the boat is arched into a shed with bamboo, which is a typical canopy boat.
The latest to be built five years ago, the hull is made entirely of very light wood, without the use of a single nail and then brushed with secret tung oil, through a variety of intricate processes.
In a sense, this canopy boat can be regarded as a handmade boat made by ancient methods, which is also one of the five craftsmen of the Li family, Li Dingshu.
It's a pity that with the continuous reduction of forest resources and the popularization of steel ships, this ancient method of shipbuilding has become more and more declining and has long faded out of people's sight.
In the case of this awning boat, precious timber such as teak, cypress, and pine used on it was taken from a giant tree with a diameter of more than one meter at breast height, and it is now difficult to find. If this ship is seen by some ancient ship lovers, it will definitely be considered a tyrannical object, and this exquisite art should be solemnly stored in a museum, not soaked in water like it is now, wind and rain!
Li Yu didn't know how the ancient boat lovers reacted when they saw this awning boat, he was now gently paddling the oars in his hand, and entered the hinterland of Jade Lake smoothly and abnormally.
The children who grew up in the back village can basically row and play in the water, and Li Yuda learned to row with his uncles since he was a child, and his skills are not bad, so he doesn't have to worry about him spinning in the middle of the lake.
The sliding of the canopy made the three of them very excited, and they shouted loudly from time to time, and the shrill sound was heard on the empty lake, and then reflected off the mountains by the lake, and in this way, the three guys had a great time with their own echoes.
The visibility at nine o'clock in the morning was very good, and Li Yu could see Qingyun Mountain in the distance as if it was coated with a layer of gold dust under the golden sunlight, and a divine aura came to his face.
The steep mountains, the climatic climate and the rampant beasts of Qingyun Mountain make it difficult for even the best hunters in the back village to venture into danger.
For thousands of years, no one has been able to clearly understand the whole picture of the depths of Qingyun Mountain, even in the 21st century, with the development of science and technology, people can at most see some general conditions of Qingyun Mountain from satellite photos.
In the legends of the old people in the back village and the Baling area, there are tigers, leopards, eagles, bears and other birds and beasts living in the depths of Qingyun Mountain, and even ancient dragons and phoenixes, which are hidden in the deep mountains and primeval forests, and have never been known to outsiders. In the dead of night, the roar of fierce beasts can occasionally be heard in the back village, which adds a bit of mystery to Qingyun Mountain.
Green mountains, forests, lakes, blue skies, white clouds, Li Yu lying on the board of the boat is like entering a beautiful picture, and his heart is drunk!
Now Li Yu can suddenly understand why so many urban white-collar workers are reluctant to leave after arriving in places like Lijiang, and finally stay. In the past, Li Yu just thought that his hometown was very interesting, but he never felt the peace of mind and found the rhythm of the earth's pulsation like now.
Thinking of this, Li Yu strengthened his confidence to build Houcun into a paradise-like resort and make it the spiritual home of urban people.
Li Yu lay on the board of the boat for a while, and began to try to extract the spatial spiritual spring from the space and put it into the jade lake, wanting to see how many wild fish were growing in the jade lake.
The spatial spiritual spring appeared out of thin air, forming a column of water that slowly poured into the Jade Lake, and soon, these pale cyan spiritual springs completely merged into the water of the Jade Lake and disappeared without a trace.
After releasing about two kilograms of spiritual spring, Li Yu stopped pumping and paid close attention to the changes in the surrounding waters.
It barely lasted more than three minutes before the surface of the lake, which was as calm as Pingyu, began to ripple, and some fish heads suddenly surfaced, as if something delicious was attracting them. As time passed, more and more fish appeared in the waters around the awning boats, and the whole body of water became lively.
Seeing the splashing water, the three were obviously a little excited, their cries became louder and louder, and they even had a tendency to jump into the lake, but fortunately, Li Yu caught them in time.
Knowing that some giant fish with a size of more than a meter are taking advantage of their size to squeeze other small fish out of the waters around the canopy boat, they have almost an innate instinct to discover the possible benefits of the Spatial Spirit Spring. For a while, these giant fish swam at great speed, attacking other people of the same kind, and set off a wave in the sky.
Aren't the three wolfdogs who can only gouge into the lake to deliver food to those giant fish?
Li Yu saw on TV that when the fishermen were collecting their nets, the scene of flocks of fish scurrying on the water was spectacular, and he never thought that a little spatial spiritual spring could actually form such an amazing effect.
What is certain is that the attraction of the Spatial Spirit Spring to fish far exceeds the so-called 'fish attractant', and if the Space Spirit Spring is used when fishing, I am afraid that it will be able to achieve extremely high efficiency.
Li Yu didn't dare to do this in front of ordinary people, otherwise he would be covered in mouth and wouldn't be able to explain clearly!
Despite the large size of the fish that appeared, the carnivorous fish that Li Yu feared did not appear, which is undoubtedly good news.
