Chapter 44: Water and Stones

Lunch is just the lunch of Chen Weizheng and Ou Jie, and the others have already made the snacks full! Seeing the refusal of other people to lunch, Chen Weizheng and Ou Jie also lost their appetite greatly, and as a result, one person finished the work with a bowl of beef noodles, and Ou Jie laughed, saying that this was to help him save money.

After lunch, call a local employee to drive and ride Ou Jie's diesel seven straight to the waterfall.

Huaguoshan Waterfall is not far from Huaxi City, and the road is very easy to walk, the plateau scenery is more refreshing in October and autumn, so that the three beauties sitting in the middle row are sleepy, and they fall asleep as soon as they get in the car, after all, they get up too early in the morning. Kotake gave Komatsu, who was sitting in the front row, a task to photograph the scenery on the side of the road. Chen Weizheng and Ou Jie sat in the third row and chatted.

"How is Yang Tianzheng?" Chen Weizheng asked, "It's not bad, help me a lot." Ou Jie said.

"You should have a period of leisure after starting a business, right?" Chen Weizheng said: "After I am busy going to Guyi, I have something I want to discuss with you, if we both think it is feasible, we will report it to Uncle Ou." ”

"Which one?" Ou Jie asked.

"Energy. A new energy source, the energy that subverts mankind. I still don't know if it's Pandora's box" Chen Weizheng said: "If you leave Liupan, it is estimated how long it will take for Yang Tianzheng to take over your hand." ”

"24 hours." Ou Jie said.

"Then let him hurry up and train his new store manager." Chen Weizheng said.

"It's always easier to find a store manager than a general manager." Ou Jie smiled.

Chatting all the way, the car arrived at Huaguoshan Village, and encountered an unprecedented traffic jam, and it was jammed from here to the scenic spot. The driver is a local ethnic minority and is familiar with the road, so he said that he could park his car here and start walking, along a small road, and he could soon reach the Baisha River. Everyone thinks that they can consider it, anyway, to play, and to play all the way to get closer to nature.

The mountain is very green, very refreshing green, the mountain is lush and green are wild trees, people walk through the woods, because of the oxygen and the spirit is real, a few broken branches are stepped on the feet, making a crisp breaking sound. The mountains and forests of the Mid-Autumn Festival are still lush and green. Everyone was very interested, and they walked to the Baisha River unconsciously.

Walking to the Baisha River, it is already overcrowded, as long as you can stand where people can stand, they are all people, and I glanced at the waterfall from a distance and found that in addition to the water, it is people. There are too many people, and from a distance, it looks like a piece of high-end cake is crawling with ants, and like a piece of stinky meat is full of flies. If you throw all the people into the deep pool at the bottom of the waterfall, it is estimated that the waterhole will be filled, and if you pile all the people on the Baisha River, it is estimated that the waterfall will be stopped.

Everyone's excitement was gone, and Ou Jie said: "I thought there were enough people coming to the opening ceremony this morning, who knew that there were more people coming here." ”

"Do you buy a ticket?" The driver asked.

Looking at the tourists who are lining up to move towards the waterfall little by little, Ou Jie estimates that at this speed, it will be his turn to move to the waterfall, and the sky should be completely dark. In the binoculars, the crowd watching the scenery on both sides of the waterfall is estimated to have been tormented by time for too long, and their eyes have been dull and expressionless. It's not so much a view as a farewell to the body.

"If you don't buy it, just take a look here, if you don't think you can see clearly, go buy a pack of five Huaguoshan brand cigarettes, and look at the package is more comfortable than this."

When they heard this, everyone burst out laughing.

"I knew there would be a lot of people, but I didn't expect there to be so many people!" Chen Weizheng said with emotion.

"Let's take a few photos from afar, and it can be regarded as a visit, after all, the scene of more people crossing the water is not often seen." Liu Yi's statement also has a certain truth, the water of the waterfall is there every day, but the waterfall may not have so many people every day.

Tourists travel is a mood. And take the tourists in the mountains as a rare landscape!

"I'll take you to a stone village in the upper reaches of the Baisha River to play." Said the driver.

Everyone unanimously agreed, follow the original road back to the village, drive to a fork in the road, it is a gravel road, the road surface is not good, the road is also very narrow, fortunately, Ou Jie's ox cart chassis is high, this kind of road is very suitable.

Less than a kilometer away, the hustle and bustle of the crowd has long been gone, seeing the continuous mountains and endless green trees, turning a corner, I see a field, it is a field in the valley, the Baisha River passes through the wall, clear as a ribbon. There are also several pools in the middle of the river, and between the pools are low waterfalls, which are like Chinese knots woven in the middle of ribbons, and like heavy color condensation brushes in ink paintings. There is a stone pier bridge upstream of the waterhole, which is to make stone piers with the same distance in the river, and people walk from the stone piers, and the water flows in the middle of the stone piers.

On the other side of the stone pier bridge, there is a small village, which is the slate village that the driver said. The car drove down a small slope and stopped by the Baisha River.

Good clear water. The first time Xiaozhu got out of the car was to run to the river, pluck a handful of water, plop it on his face, and shout: "It's cool, it's cool." "Begin to untie your shoes and get into the water.

Komatsu looked at the house in the opposite village, attracted by the roof made of stone chips, and asked the driver: Is the stone used to make the tiles natural or artificially processed into such a thin one, the driver said that it is natural, but it is to be mined, and when the rainwater seeps into the stone cracks after the rain, it is a large piece of steel bar.

The houses are made of extremely ordinary stone slabs, as if they were stacked casually, and there is no glue of earth between the slates, let alone the fixation of steel. From the foundation of the roof to the roof, from the ground to the four walls, except for the slate or slate. These slates do not need to be polished, let alone painted, and completely maintain a blue-gray original state.

The people who live in this place have turned the stones that can be seen everywhere in the mountains into stone tiles, stone walls, stone paths, and stone slab houses. The boundless mountains, embellishment of stone houses, form a unique style of cottage beauty.

"Husband, let's get some stones like this and go back to decorate the house, okay?" Liu Yi asked Chen Weizheng.

"Not good."

"Why?" Liu Yi was puzzled.

"A place uses a local material, called local materials, we pull it remotely, it is not economical. Although this kind of stone is very hard, it is very brittle, and if you want to stand stepping on it, you must choose a stone that is more than ten centimeters thick, that is, a large bluestone slab, which is very heavy. This kind of stone cannot be used as a cultural stone on the wall because it is too thick. If you build a wall like the locals, it is not as good as our local pebbles. In this place, it is estimated that no one would burn bricks and tiles in the past, so this material was used to build houses. This material is difficult to process, and the plastic surname is poor, so the structure of the house is very monotonous, the function is also single, the house is not high, only one floor, and it should not be very comfortable to live. "Chen Weizheng belongs to the kind of person who is not very romantic, with a pragmatic tone.

Someone immediately spoke out to object, it was Ruan Lei: "Xiaoyi, don't talk to your husband about these sentimental things, he will find a broken pottery pot to plant some chives and garlic, dig a small fish pond to raise some small fish and shrimp, a real farmer." I have a different opinion on the stone buildings in this place, I think that a long, long time ago, this village, sparsely populated, inconvenient transportation, it was impossible to go to the town to buy building materials, and there was no condition to fire building materials by yourself, so the stone all over the mountains became the first choice of the local ancestors, and also provided the possibility for reproduction and development. You can't evaluate the things of the past with the eyes of the present, and you should look at these things with an appreciative attitude. ”

"Yes, you don't have to take something good home, you can see it if you want to. The waterfall is more beautiful, who can take it home. Ou Jie said.

"Take the waterfall home, that's the game of the brave." Komatsu said. He was talking about a clip from an old American movie, and everyone had seen that film and laughed when they thought about it.

"Brother Ou Jie is not right" Xiaozhu said: "You tell everyone who goes to your store to buy things that good things don't have to be taken home, and your store business will be much lighter." ”

Everyone laughed when they thought about it.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ou Jie raised his hand and surrendered: "Whoever goes to my store, I can't wait for him to buy the waterfall home." ”

When you walk into the walled gate, you will enter a world of stones, the streets are paved with stones, the courtyard walls are made of stones, the houses are built of stones, the roofs are paved with wide thin stone slabs, and even the tables, stools, basins, mills, stoves, etc. used at home are also made of stone. There are stones everywhere in the village, climb the stone level, wear the stone gate, enter the stone house, sit on the stone bench, there is indeed a special taste.

Yes, these stone floors, stone benches, stone courtyard walls, stone tables, stone basins, stone mills, stone stoves...... It's all very quaint, it's very interesting, and it's very harmonious to put it here, but if you change places, it feels simple.

Find a big tree in the village to sit down, the stone table and stone bench lasted a long time, polished very smooth, a few women, in the local dialect asked something, the driver also said something, they went back to get some of their own handmade wax dye, weaving cotton and pick flowers out, another villager and the driver discussed for a long time, satisfied with the departure. The driver said that if you are satisfied, you can buy some of these handicrafts back, the price is very affordable, and they are all from your own family.

Liu Yi was very interested in these things, and told Chen Weizheng that in other tourist places, the ones bought were dyed by machine weaving machines, although they were beautiful, but at first glance they were assembly line works, unlike this, each one was unique. Hearing this statement, the nouveau riche district Jie asked the driver to put away the handmade cloth in the village, almost two hundred, all of them, ready to send to Nancheng, make a six-plate handmade wax dyeing counter, if there is a market, order with the village.

This time, the administrative leaders in the village were alarmed, and they hurriedly came out, and only after inquiring did they know that it was the president of Liupan Province of Guolian Group who came to inspect and purchase handmade cloth. Hurriedly reported to the town, and after a while, the town leader in a suit and leather shoes came.

Ou Jie said: Wei Zheng, you continue to act as the leader of the group, Ruan Lei was aggrieved to be my secretary. We're also a party.

The characters on this side actually talked about it in a good way, of course, the main talk was Ruan Lei, and it was a bit inferior to ask Ou Jie to talk to the town level.

After a while, the villagers who had been discussing with the driver for a long time just now brought out a sieve to boil sweet potatoes. Xiaozhu peeled one open, took a bite, and said that it would be better if there was cream, and saw Chen Weizheng beckoning Xiao Song to come over, Xiao Song went over, returned to Xiao Zhu, and stretched out his hand, it was actually an unopened bottle of cream. Xiaozhu shouted, "Big brother, you are a god!" I love you! Liu Yi also felt that Chen Weizheng was quite a fairy, and his loving eyes flew to Chen Weizheng, dipped in cream and ate it. Ruan Lei saw them eating from a distance, and forced the ** who wanted to eat to talk to the town leaders with a smile, stifling the positive enthusiasm of Ou Jie's big package in the "swaddling", and skillfully bargaining with the town leaders.

Purple heart potato with cream, the locals have never eaten it, and they think it's fun. The town leaders have seen the world and are drooling.

When the villagers saw that they liked it, they found a few male sorghum sticks in the field, cut them into pieces, and let them eat them like sugar cane. The so-called male sorghum is the sorghum that does not bear seeds without pollination, this kind of sorghum does not grow fruits, all the sugar enters the sorghum stem, the sorghum stem skin is thin and easy to peel, the flesh is crisp and fragrant, the water is sweet and delicious, it is a very rare good thing. When Chen Weizheng was a child, his grandfather planted some sorghum every year, and when it was time to raise flowers, he broke off the flower heads and planted the stems to give Chen Weizheng to eat, which was the only fruit Chen Weizheng had in autumn. Seeing this, Chen Weizheng no longer acted as a group executive and went straight to the public sorghum pole.

The money for wax-dyed cloth was indeed cheap, and the villagers were already very satisfied with a slight benefit from their own costs. Here Liu Yi also gave the money for the sweet potato, and the villagers of Gong Sorghum must not want money, saying that this is for eating and playing, and they can't sell everything for money.

Yes, you can't sell everything for money, and you can't sell everything for money, there are some things that money can't buy!
