Chapter 276: Road Construction Difficulties, New Considerations
In the sweltering midday heat of Qiong Island, it is undoubtedly a beautiful thing to take a dip in the tree-shaded pool. At least Chen Songling, they feel very happy now, and they chose to take a break after taking a beautiful shower and having lunch.
The people in the mountains naturally have their own methods of repelling insects, such as Ah Wu, who came back after drilling in the woods for a while. There were a few more handfuls of grass on their hands, but they saw that they wrung out the juice of these grasses and asked Liang Sanping to apply them.
Sure enough, the mosquitoes on the mountain no longer harassed Liang Sanping and them. After a short nap in the afternoon, everyone embarked on the road of investigation again. Now that the problem with the transportation of the material has been identified, the next step is to measure the route.
The mountain road from Baoting to Lucheng is indeed winding. One mountain after another, Chen Songling and others who walked were panting. Ah Wu and the others had to stop and wait for these people from time to time.
After all, I'm old, and I've been in the office for a long time. In terms of Chen Songling and the others, they must not be able to keep up with Ah Wu, who often treks through mountains and rivers. The big guy stopped and went, and was only halfway through the evening.
Fortunately, there was a village not far from the bottom of the mountain, and Ah Wu and the others spoke Li dialect and quickly found the village committee. After saying hello, everyone found the phone number in the village committee, but Chen Songling did not agree to find a car to pick him up and return to the county first.
"Where have we been?! What are you going to do at this time?! Chen Songling shook his head and said to Liang Sanping: "We didn't come here for enjoyment, but for inspection." Isn't it normal to spend just a few nights?! ”
Chen Songling's words made Liang Sanping awe-inspired. It is no wonder that Yizhou was able to rise at this time, and looking at Chen Songling, you can see that the hard work of their generation is completely different from the young people of Yizhou later.
At this time, the people of Yizhou still maintained the kind of diligence and hard work. Willing to endure hardships and not value identity. Have an excellent work ethic. It is completely different from those pampered Yizhou young people later.
At this time, they are more willing to work hard and pay more attention to work ethic. The small mountain village didn't expect that he would usher in these characters at all, Chen Songling and they didn't know each other, but Liang Sanping was famous.
Even Liang Sanping came to them to inspect the planting site before, and also gave them experimental breeding of rice soft-shelled turtles. Many families in the village have made a small profit because of this. The Chinese New Year has been a lot better.
"Alas...... Look at it, you don't have to say it sooner if you want to come! We're so ready to prepare......" The village party secretary rubbed his hands. smiled at Liang and said: "Now there is nothing to prepare in the village, look at this troublesome ......"
"Hahaha...... We just came to investigate, and we didn't need to be entertained by preparing some food for us. Liang Sanping greeted the village party secretary with a smile in Qiongdao dialect: "We don't have anything expensive, we eat what you eat." ”
The village party secretary wanted to say a few words, but was pulled down by Ah Wu and the others with a smile. Liang Sanping came out and they followed, so they were naturally prepared. The green military satchel he carried with him was opened, and the marinated pork wrapped in dried lotus leaves was taken out.
There are also pickled duck eggs, and the village party secretary can't help but be overjoyed when he sees it. He was still sighing just now, Liang Sanping rarely came once, if he didn't entertain him. They went back. Pick your own children. What's the benefit of not giving it to the village?!
This is not the afterlife, and you can still buy some dishes at the market when it gets dark. You can even buy canned food from the village shop. In this era of scarcity, unless you say hello in advance.
Otherwise, you won't be able to buy anything before it gets dark. There are a lot of things you have to buy with a ticket, and you can't buy it without a ticket. There are on the black market, but the price makes people feel pain for a long time, and few people are willing to do it.
With these pickled pork and salted duck eggs, the village party secretary went down to prepare with a smile. In fact, there is nothing special, just let your mother-in-law pick up the food. Scoop up a few stupid eggs from the hen coop.
Mix some chopped green onions, spread out an egg and stir-fry with marinated pork and celery. Marinated duck eggs can be cut directly. The brown rice in his field is washed with well water and boiled. Suddenly, a scent of incense spread near the village committee.
Everyone waited for the rice to be served, and there was no politeness to start directly. Even Chen Qirong didn't care about any manners at this time, so he directly threw off his cheeks and desperately stuffed food into his mouth.
This is the first time he thinks that this brown rice is so delicious, and he definitely doesn't touch the fatty pork. But today, I ate it in a big gulp, and I even felt that the fat and crispy cured meat was so fragrant.
Ah Wu: They quickly finished eating. Then he took out some herbs from another military satchel and said to Chen Songling and the others with a smile: "Mr. Chen, please eat quickly." After a while, we will order herbs to smoke mosquitoes, this smell is big! ”
Chen Songling was very receptive to Ah Wu's mastery of these things, when they were investigating in Yizhou. The leaders of the Takasugi clan in the mountains are also proficient in these doorways. They even slept out along the way.
The long meeting table of the village committee was covered with mats. The quilt was also brought several beds. This is the first time Chen Qirong has experienced this situation, and he used to be on a construction site at best. But the construction site is also very comfortable.
There was still air conditioning in the room, and there were even some entertainment facilities. Where it is like now, it is almost a wilderness. Even though this is a village, there are not many households in reality.
At night, there is silence. Everyone rested early, and at this time TV was not yet popular. Once in a while, a film team comes in, and that's a big deal.
Usually there is a radio in the village, and most of them are old songs, storytelling, operas and so on. In a quiet mountain village, in addition to the chirping of cicadas, only unknown insects chirp.
Everyone was tired of the day, and soon fell asleep. Several engineers are still putting together the results of today's expedition and are beginning to calculate how much it will cost to make this journey. I was busy until about ten o'clock before I went to rest.
The expedition lasted for a total of three days, all the way from Baoting County to Lucheng. According to calculations, the distance at this time is nearly 70 kilometers, mainly because there are too many winding roads, and it is necessary to cross two mountain ranges.
However, the engineers calculated that the distance from Baoting to Lucheng could be shortened to 51 kilometers after the cement road was repaired and paved, and many winding roads could be bulldozed directly. Even some of the coils can be straightened.
But in this case, the cost is enormous. After returning to Baoting, several Yizhou engineers began to busy accounting. Stacks of materials are carried into the office, and from time to time there are engineers who need to go out.
They need to check whether the price points they have previously examined are as stated in the information and calculate the cost of road construction comprehensively. At this time, Chen Songling and they were temporarily relaxed, but they were not idle.
But he asked Liang Sanping to take it and set off to Baisha to inspect Baisha's tea. According to Chen Songling's idea, although the tea of white yarn is inconvenient to transport, it can be converted into high-end tea instead of mass production.
In Chen Songling's view, the tea leaves of white yarn have certain elements of high-end tea. The taste is not bad, and the aftertaste is very good. At the same time, the meteorite impact crater is a good buying point, and the inconvenient transportation of the mountain will also become a hot spot for people.
It doesn't take much to produce more than a year, but it needs to be carefully served. In this way, the value of the tea will be high, and at the same time, it will be popular in the market. No one knows better than Chen Songling that this kind of high-end products are now popular in Yizhou.
With the development of the economy, people in Yizhou have a higher pursuit of high-end products. More investment is made in food, life and entertainment. In particular, the group of people who have benefited from various projects have their own pursuits.
French wine, Japanese Wagyu beef. Cars and cosmetics in Europe...... And so on, they are all the objects they are chasing. Chen Songling and others have also done research on this and found that these are mostly pursued by young people.
And the older generation, that is, the old people who control the family, are more accepting and appreciative. It's still old-school, stuffy stuff. For example, some antiques, some jade and jade carvings. There is also tea, liquor...... Wait a minute.
"The Huanghuali of Qiongdao has been famous all over the world since ancient times, and it was the mainstream of furniture in the Ming and Qing dynasties. At that time, it was on the verge of extinction due to excessive logging. But now that it hasn't been cut down for many years, I estimate that the amount is still considerable......"
In the Baisha County Party Committee, Chen Songling smiled and drank tea with Liang Sanping and said softly: "I think, except for the tea leaves of Baisha." You can use your brains in this area, I know that there are still many good wood processors in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”
Liang Sanping smiled and nodded. It is true that there is no talent in this area on Qiongdao. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are many masters in this area. And many of them have become a little confused after the reform.
The impact of the reform temporarily overshadowed the Chinese furniture from the market, and replaced it with European and American sofas, tables and chairs, and bookcases. Chinese furniture is seen as old, stale decoration.
But Liang Sanping knows that after a few years, people will start to get tired of those European and American style furniture. Chinese furniture will return to people's field of vision again, when the time comes, rosewood, huanghuali ...... and other Chinese furniture will become popular again.
But now that people have not accepted this aesthetic, what will happen to the lives of these masters?! Many people have been forced to give up what they have done and use other ways to earn a living. Even some of the masters have since left this industry.
Those who barely stay are also precarious. This is undoubtedly the best time to co-opt them. If it's too late, when the trend picks up, it's not so easy to ask them to help with the work.
"If you want to get it, let's just make it bigger!" Liang Sanping thought thoughtfully: "It's better to take advantage of the fact that Huanghuali is cheap now, and directly get a Huanghuali Pavilion first." And then...... Plant a batch of huanghuali first! (To be continued......)
