Chapter 936: Digging Lotus Root in the Dam
"Of course. He used to build it for me, but now we ask him to do the project, and he must be very happy. Wuyang, can you give us 60 billion? In this way, you can build 30 gyms, and if you want to increase them in the future, you can build them with profits. ”
Zhiqin said: "Die'er, it is still the scale of building a power port, and I am afraid it will not be able to meet the needs of the future development of the situation." Besides, it is very expensive to buy land in a big city, and it is a waste to build only a few floors, so it should be built higher, 7 or 80 floors can be used, and we use it to make guesthouses and hotels, which is also a business project. Even if the guesthouse and hotel are not profitable, there is real estate, and it will definitely increase in value. ”
Die'er smiled and said, "Your heart is quite big." ”
Zhiqin said: "Sister Bao'er said that Wuyang told her that how big the heart is, how big the sky is. Afternoon sun, isn't that so? ”
"Yes, that's how I do things. Die'er said, the prospect of running a gym is very good, now we will build a bigger one, anyway, it is a frame structure, build more, expand it in the future, and redecorate it. If you want to rebuild or add layers, it will be much more troublesome. Die'er, my uncle's construction company has built a lot of high-rise buildings in the city, so there should be no problem with qualifications, right? ”
"No problem. However, this will require a lot more money. ”
Zhiqin said, "It's okay, Sister Bao'er promised me that she could lend me as long as I needed it." Wuyang, your funds have been invested in the enterprise, so don't give it to us. ”
Wuyang said: "In the first half of the year, I ordered a lot of jadeite wool in Myanmar, and I need to pay a lot of funds, but I still have it for you." Rest assured. This will not affect the normal production of the enterprise. I'll give each of you 100 billion for the time being. I'll give it back when I have more money in the future. If your family needs to buy a house or something. Use it first, you don't have to buy the car, I'll give it to you. ”
Die'er smiled: "So much, then we don't have to do anything." ”
Zhiqin said: "If Wuyang gives us as much money as the other sisters, you will know what it means to be too much." With so much money, you don't have to do anything, there are a group of sisters in the family who play mahjong every day, and you can be like them. But. Die'er, do you know how much money Bao'er, Sister Belle and Sister Peng Yan have? ”
Die'er said: "I don't want to know, but when I know, I feel that no matter how hard I work, I can't earn as much as them anyway, so I won't be motivated." ”
After transferring the money, Wuyang asked, "Are you going back to the city today?" ”
Die'er smiled and said, "If you want us to stay, we won't go back." ”
"I won't stay, I'm not afraid that you will fly. There are so many vegetables in the vegetable field, go get some back. ”
"Good. Let's go. Wuyang, you also go to help us. ”
Took a couple of woven bags. Let's go to the vegetable patch. When I arrived, I asked for some white radish, carrot, celery, coriander, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, and garlic. The little cabbage already had sporadic moss, and the two girls rushed to pinch the moss. One person filled two woven bags, Wuyang carried two, and they themselves carried one and walked back. Die'er wears medium-heeled leather shoes, and she looks much taller than Wuyang when she walks together. Tang Zhiqin looked at it and wanted to laugh, and Die'er also discovered this problem, "Wuyang, it seems that I can only wear flat heels in the future, and I can't walk with my head up." ”
"It's okay, it's good to be a woman. I feel a sense of accomplishment in conquering a tall girl. ”
"Looks like there's a tall sister in the family?"
"Yes, there are two taller than me, Chen Jianying and Blaya, and there are many who are about the same height as me."
"Bleia, or a foreigner?"
Tang Zhiqin smiled and said: "I didn't tell you before, Wuyang's family is an Eight-Nation Alliance, and there are both blacks and whites." ”
Die'er asked: "Wuyang, does it feel different to be with girls of other races, is it good?" ”
"This kind of thing can only be understood but not spoken. You're a girl, so you're embarrassed to ask this? ”
"What can't be asked, I'm not 6 or 16 years old, if my life is good, the child can play soy sauce, besides, you're not someone else, what am I afraid of?"
Tang Zhiqin smiled and said: "Wuyang, we are already in full bloom of flowers, if you don't pick them again, I'm afraid there will be empty branches left." ”
Butterfly said: "There are flowers that can be broken straight and must be broken, don't wait for no flowers to break the branches." ”
Wuyang smiled: "You two are in a hurry to get married, right?" I'll go home tomorrow and let Sister Xiaoya do immigration for you. ”
"Okay, you can call and tell Sister Xiaoya."
Back in the ping, put the vegetables into the trunk, Tang Jianqiang came with mutton, "Secretary Li, I killed two rams today, the gross weight is 50 kilograms, except for dinner, I divided it into 6 parts, you can take it back." ”
"If Boss Li and I don't go back, we won't bring it, you can give it to Xiao Tang and Xiao Hu."
Tang Zhiqin said: "This one has more than 10 catties, and we can't do so much." ”
Wuyang said: "Go back and freeze it in the refrigerator and eat it slowly." ”
"How can our refrigerator be so big? And fish. ”
"Then go buy a big refrigerator, you can use it later."
"I can only buy new ones."
After eating, Tang Zhiqin and Die'er went home, and Wen Lan said, "Let's take a ride to Yihe." Tomorrow we will drive ourselves to Nanshan Ranch. ”
Tonghua said: "You go back, I will stay with Wuyang." ”
Saying this in front of Tang Jianqiang embarrassed Wuyang, and if she wanted to stay, it would make it even more difficult for Wuyang. Come down to check the work by yourself, take a little lover, and in a few days, it will spread all over Yihe. But people have just become women, and it is understandable to have this idea. I want to look at the counties, not ten days and half a month, let her stay, when the time comes, determine the walking route, let her take the bus in front of the wait, the right to be a honeymoon.
sent a few Wenlan away and stayed here with Tang Jianqiang that night. The next day, after breakfast, I went down the mountain and arranged for her to go to the front station. Wuyang came down this time, without a specific purpose, but also determined several contents to focus on checking. One is that this year's bumper harvest is a foregone conclusion, and the sales of agricultural products must keep up. Paddy has established smooth sales channels, don't worry about it, but cash crops. For example, whether the tobacco leaves are all sold out. Is the fruit sales channel established? It must be asked; The second is the construction of water conservancy facilities, the projects supporting the avionics hub project, and the construction of the Shantang Reservoir, which must pass the inspection and be sure in their hearts, so as not to be deceived and spend money, and the matter is not done, or it is not done well; The third is the work of the college students and village officials selected by the city organization. This is especially important. If the work is done well, it will be the well-being of the villagers, and it will be possible to increase the per capita income of the rural areas of the whole city, create political achievements, and be able to discover and select a group of cadres who want to do things and know how to do things, so as to better promote the development of the work.
In the golden autumn of October, the weather is sunny, and the sky is blue and white clouds. The mountains, rivers and fields are dyed with a layer of gold. I walked for a few days and saw a lot of places. I met with some grassroots cadres and the masses, and I was very satisfied with what I learned about the situation, and I was in a good mood. Accompanied by the fierce girl Mouton at night, although the conditions of the township hostel are relatively poor, as long as you are in a good mood, you can do anything.
On this day, he transferred to Chayuan County, and Wuyang deliberately went to the township where Liao Mingliang worked to have a look. In the rice fields on the side of the road, there are already golden rice, and on the hillside, a large area of fruit trees and grapes is planted, and the fruit trees that can be distinguished by the afternoon sun include loquat, jujube trees, and pear trees, and some are too small, only known to be citrus, and the specific distinction is not clear. In other fields, the corn stalks have not been removed, but the sweet potato vines below cover the ground again. Two crops are also planted in the field, compared to the barren mountains everywhere seen last year, Wuyang knew that Liao Mingliang had indeed done a lot of work.
There is a large group of people by the dam next to the road, Wuyang feels strange, it is rare to see groups of people gathered together these days, there must be something, just stop and see what is going on.
The dam is a small river between the river and the ditch, which is the outlet channel connecting the valley and the river, generally 3 or 40 meters wide, and in some places in order to raise the water level, the water in the dam is used to irrigate the farmland, and some embankments may also be built, so the place is relatively wide, basically a fish pond.
The width of the dam is 3 to 40 meters, and it winds from a distance, and then winds away, with no end in sight. The dam is overgrown with lotus leaves. Wuyang approached and saw a person operating a lotus root digging machine digging lotus root, and two people pulling a mud boat to pick up lotus root in the back.
"Master, what are you doing here?" Wuyang approached and asked.
"It's Secretary Liao who is digging lotus root with two village directors, let's come over and have a look."
"Didn't anyone dig the lotus root in this dam before?"
"The mud in the dam is so deep that you can't dig it. I have lived here for more than 40 years, and today is the first time I have seen lotus roots. ”
"How long is this dam?"
"More than 20 miles long, this is the middle, the closer to the river the wider it is, and the narrower it is by the mountain."
Wuyang asked: "Is Secretary Liao's lotus root dug up by himself?" ”
The villagers said: "These lotus roots are ownerless, and it stands to reason that if they dig them, they should be theirs." But Secretary Liao said that as long as someone is willing to buy the lotus root digging machine, they will not dig it. ”
"Would anyone like to take over?"
The villager said: "This lotus root digging machine is specially made according to this deep mud, people can stand on it, it is more expensive, more than 10,000 yuan." ”
"It's a little expensive, and it's not easy to come up with so much money."
The villager said: "That's not it, now ordinary people can still get it, mainly because they haven't seen it, and they can't get it accurately." ”
Wuyang said: "With so much money, it's useless to dig here, it's not cost-effective." ”
"No, there are several such dams in our township, which can be dug until winter."
"It's dug up, it's not easy to sell, right?"
"Secretary Liao contacted someone to buy it, and he will come over in the afternoon and give cash."
"Then why are the villagers still unsure?"
"Boss, we earn all our hard-earned money, who is willing to spend it on it. We go out to work, and we also have an income of more than 100 yuan a day. ”
Wuyang couldn't help but be speechless. If you change yourself and get the money, you will not hesitate to buy the lotus root digging machine. The short-sightedness of the peasants is really not something that can be changed overnight. "Master, if you think this lotus root digging machine is easy to use, will you buy it?"
"No, it won't. Secretary Liao is a civil servant, it is impossible to dig lotus root here all the time, he goes to work, I can borrow it and use it. ”
"With so many people, won't it be your turn?"
"It doesn't matter, today Saturday, tomorrow Sunday, we want Secretary Liao to preside over and divide this dam to each villager group according to its length. The digging is done. It was my turn. ”
Wuyang said: "If someone buys a lotus root digging machine. Don't you get nothing? ”
"It's okay, anyway, we haven't made any money guarding this dam for decades, so let's just treat it as if it doesn't exist."
Wuyang was completely speechless, there was really nothing he could do. The villagers left one after another, leaving behind a big boy, who was about 1.70 meters tall, but he was very thin.
"Young man, why don't you go to work yet?"
"I want to talk to Secretary Liao."
Wuyang said, "You call him." ”
"No, I can't. He is a big cadre, and I am afraid that he will ignore me, so I will look for him when he rests. ”
A section-level cadre, a leading cadre at the most basic level, is a big cadre in the eyes of the common people. "I'll help you shout. Liao Mingming, Liao Mingming. ”
When Liao Mingliang heard the shout, he must have recognized Wuyang, and quickly drove the lotus root digging machine to the edge of the dam and beckoned the other two people to come over.
The young man said, "Boss." You can just call him by name, is it bigger than his official? ”
"Yes. I'm from the city, you can talk about it later, I'll help you by the side, and he'll agree to anything. ”
"Okay, thank you then."
Liao Mingliang smiled and said, "Secretary Li, you have come here again for a private visit." ”
Wuyang smiled and said, "You are working overtime, I should also fulfill my duties." Who are these two? ”
The three of them were covered in mud, and their faces had become flower faces, and Wuyang could only recognize the familiar Liao Mingming. "Secretary, I'm Tan Ping." "Boss, I'm Xu Yang."
"Guys, you're good, you're still working on Saturday, boys."
Liao Mingliang said: "No way. It's been a few days since I bought this lotus root machine, and I asked Tan Ping and Xu Yang to mobilize the villagers to dig lotus roots, but no one wanted to do it, so we had to do a demonstration ourselves. But after demonstrating for so long, there is no one who is tempted. ”
"Secretary Liao, I'm tempted."
Liao Mingliang said: "You are Tian Jian, the student whose father had a car accident in the first half of the year?" Why haven't you read anymore? ”
"I can't afford to read. My father died, or you asked the township government to make a coffin made of wood, the family still owes debts, and my mother is sick, so I have to drop out of school to support the family. ”
Wuyang asked: "Is there no compensation for the car that caused the accident?" ”
"I ran away, but I couldn't find it."
Wuyang couldn't ask, "Tian Jian, do you want to take over the lotus root digging machine?" ”
"I don't want to take over, I want to come and work for Secretary Liao. I don't have the money to pay, and the workers think I'm too thin and don't want me. ”
Liao Mingliang said: "Don't pay for it first, when you earn it back, just give it to us." ”
Tian Jian said: "No. If I buy a lotus root digging machine to dig lotus root, and the upper and lower neighbors want to borrow it, I can't help but give it. Everyone is a kind person to me, and the family borrowed it for a few days, and the lotus root in this dam was dug up. If it is contracted, people can refuse it. ”
Xu Yang said: "If you come to work, you can't do this heavy work." ”
"Actually, I'm very energetic, but I look thin. I can't do this alone, I have already told my uncle and aunt that as long as the contract is reached, they can come. ”
Liao Mingliang said: "This matter is still up for discussion. Secretary Li, we are civil servants, so we can't do private work. ”
Wuyang said: "You bought a lotus root digging machine to drive the villagers to make money, and the starting point is good." Now that the villagers don't take over, and Tian Jian has no money, it is the best way for you to contract him. You can rest assured, as long as you don't delay your work, I support you. When you encounter such a thing in the future, you can just do it boldly. I've heard that the market for lotus root has been found, right? ”
"Yes, I just went to the vegetable and fruit wholesale market to find the person, and I happened to meet your driver, Brother Xu, who is willing to accept this business."
"How is the price negotiated?"
"Delivery on the side of the road, two dollars a pound."
"It's too low, isn't it?"
Liao Mingliang smiled and said: "Boss, don't think that the supermarket sells 5 yuan, just because he has a lot of profits." In fact, he only wholesaled 3 yuan, in addition to freight and loss, he can only earn 5 cents a catty. ”
"If Tian Jian contracts, how much money do you give him?"
Liao Mingliang said: "We really don't do this, as long as the cost of the machine is recovered." ”
Wuyang said: "That's not good, you bought it back to make money for the villagers, but those who have the capital don't do it, and Tian Jian's orphans and widows are afraid of being bullied, so you can only support this scene for him." In this way, Xu Zhengliang's people will pay two yuan a catty. You'll each have a dollar. If you don't have to work overtime on weekends. You can do it yourself for a day or two. Let Tian Jian rest them. ”
Liao Mingliang said: "The boss has said so, as long as Tian Jian agrees, it's all right." ”
Tian Jian said: "I don't agree. It's too much to give me a dollar and a pound, if there is no lotus root digging machine, I can't earn this money, of course I have to give you more. I just looked at the lotus root you dug up, and it was only an hour, and there were more than 2,000 catties. If you work until dark, you have 10,000 catties, give me 5 cents, and you will have 5,000 yuan a day. There is another thing, that is, my mother and aunt will make sour lotus chips, sour lotus sticks, we are going to buy some plastic bottles back, every day after handing over the wholesaler's lotus root, we can also dig some more to stay, this money will not be given to Secretary Liao. I buy the extra fuel myself. ”
Liao Mingliang smiled and said, "Tian Jian, you are very honest. But you don't understand it right, all the diesel fuel and lubricating oil used by the machine. I want you to buy it, the machine is out of order, and you need to repair it, we are usually busy with work, and we can't take care of so much. Therefore, as Secretary Li said, we are one and a half, and we take advantage of you. ”
Wuyang said: "Tian Jian, it's decided like this, don't say it again." Okay, you guys keep busy, I'm leaving. By the way, bright, the lotus root in this dam was dug this year, will it grow next year? ”
Liao Mingliang said: "The long lotus root seedlings are on the lotus root festival, and we still left most of the lotus root festivals, and they will definitely grow next year, but they are rarer than this year." ”
Tian Jian said: "If it is sparse, the lotus root will be bigger." ”
"Okay, I'll help you contact a few supermarkets next year, and the price may be better."
Liao Mingliang said: "Boss, let Brother Xu do the business of the supermarket." Then you can go, we won't send it. ”
"The work is good, report any difficulties."
"Okay. Boss, do you want to bring some lotus root back? ”
"If you don't bring it back, you can bring me two sticks and eat them as snacks on the way. I grew up in the countryside, and I am not interested in apples and other fruits, but I prefer to eat lotus roots, cold potatoes, tomatoes, etc. raw. Tian Jian, you make sour lotus root at home, pay attention to good hygiene, and I will help you sell some when the time comes. ”
Tian Jian said: "Secretary, don't worry, my mother makes sour lotus root, which is the local practice in the countryside, only cold boiled water, salt and red pepper, and nothing else will be available." You said you would help sell some, how much is it? ”
Wuyang said: "It's in that kind of plastic bottle for food, right?" A bottle is about 3 catties, you send me 2,000 bottles first, and then order it with you. ”
Liao Mingliang said: "Boss, if this sour lotus can enter the supermarket, we can do it as an industry." ”
Wuyang smiled: "Okay, you go and help get in touch." ”
Xu Yang smiled and said: "Secretary, you can use a phone call better than us to break our legs, so please help, okay?" ”
"Okay, you have to have a certain amount of production, or it's not interesting."
Liao Mingliang said: "In the name of Tian Jian, in fact, I will arrange 50 laborers to produce about 5,000 bottles a day." ”
"Okay, it's out, call me." Wuyang is sure to say this, Yihe, Lujiang, Tanzhou have the habit of eating sour lotus, large and small supermarkets can sell a lot, he and Yu Huijuan's enterprises in Zhongnan, there are hundreds of thousands of workers, each person sends a bottle, which is enough for them to produce for two months. The price of this kind of thing will definitely not be very high, more than two catties of lotus root, plus plastic bottles and other materials, the cost is less than 10 yuan, and it is sold for 20 yuan.
Liao Mingliang washed two lotus roots in clean water and put them in the car, "Secretary, you are a teacher, you need more guidance on our work." ”
Wuyang said: "I am certainly not as familiar with rural work as you are, but I think that the general rule is to do things for the peasants. You're doing this very well, isn't it? Mingming, you are the deputy director of the Municipal Development Office, and the burden on your shoulders is not light. ”
Wuyang's meaning, of course, is to remind Liao Mingliang that he can't just grasp his own township and can't indulge in specific work, but his character is like this, the drum doesn't need to be beaten with a hammer, and if he can understand it, he is a material that can be made.
Liao Mingliang smiled and said: "Secretary, I divided more than 40 people into four groups, which are responsible for the development of poor villages in four counties and cities. I participated in the formulation of all the development plans, and I should have implemented the problems encountered in the work, both the mayor and the market. This year is the initial stage, as long as the sales of the product are good, there will definitely be a big improvement next year. ”
Liao Mingming's words made Wuyang more satisfied, and what he saw along the way, he was very happy, "Okay, continue to work hard, you must pay attention to the results, and the municipal party committee will give you credit." ”
"Okay, we will report to the municipal party committee with excellent results."
Say goodbye to a few people and continue driving. Although Wuyang has not been in charge of rural work, he is already familiar with the countryside. Look at whether the work in the countryside is done well, one is to see whether the crops are growing well, the second is to see whether there is wasteland, wasteland, the third is to see how many people play cards, there are more young and middle-aged people playing cards, it is definitely not good, the villagers do not have wages, they rely on the field to grow, or go out to work to earn money, playing cards can not produce any benefits.
After taking a look at Liao Mingming's township, I was quite satisfied. After having lunch with Tonghua at the agreed place, Wuyang felt that he should go to the fishing ground and take a look at the farmhouse there by the way. (To be continued......)
