Chapter 996: Journey to the Plateau (4)

Wuyang looks at the knife surface of the big knife, it is about 8 inches wide, the place where the knife is back against the knife handle, there are two centimeters thick, and the blade plus the knife handle is estimated to be more than 80 catties, more than 20 catties more than the big knife obtained from the ancient village. It's definitely no problem to dance on your own, but you can't take other people's things for nothing.

"Master, I'm dancing, you follow this pattern, build me 5, the best steel, the best craftsmanship. I don't want you for this knife, and I don't want to order it so heavy, 50 pounds a piece is fine, and the price is also according to the market. ”

The master said: "These conditions of yours are what I should have done, and they are not considered to be a gambling contract." You dance and take away the big knife, and if you don't move, give me 5,000 yuan, fair and reasonable, whether you gamble or not. However, let me tell you, relying on this big knife, I have to win tens of thousands of dollars every year, and how many famous people can't dance. ”

The master was obviously using the method of agitation, and Wuyang didn't want to take away the big knife at first, but when he said this, the bloody nature came. Don't look at this big knife for practicing martial arts, but it can be put in a museum, which is a good exhibit. "Okay, I'll bet with you. But draw the pattern first, lest I take it, and you don't remember the pattern. ”

"How can it be, I look at it more than ten times a day, and I already know the style by heart. If you don't believe me, I'll hit it right away. ”

"If you can build it, you can build it. How long have you been dancing this time? ”

"Based on a set of knife techniques. You order a knife, so you don't know how to use a knife, right? ”

Only then did Wuyang know why he had won. The 80-pound broadsword can be lifted by ordinary people, and the manpower and luck of practicing martial arts are long, but the broadsword is being wielded. It's not something that can be wielded freely with the strength that can be lifted. A set of knife techniques 36 moves. It seems that it will be difficult for me to please today. Yes, the words have been exported, and it is a big deal to lose thousands of dollars.

Removing the broadsword from the wall, knowing that he was gone. The broadsword is made after a lot of tempering, and its density is much greater than that of ordinary steel, exceeding 120 catties. Even though it's a one-handed knife, you can also hold the knife with both hands, and there is already this kind of move in the knife technique.

Running is really angry. One move and one style to walk. The first few moves were fine, but after 10 moves, I felt that the big knife was one point heavier. When I walked to 24 moves, I felt that my right arm was a little paralyzed, so I quickly put my left arm on it, and with the addition of a new force, I finally finished 36 moves, but I was too tired to do it. Walking with Master Zu for a few hours, I was not so tired.

Li Xize and Ye Xuewen, and the driver applauded. He tried to wave them off, but he couldn't lift his arms.

"Boss. You can take this big knife with you. However, the delivery of your order must be delayed by one month. Whether it will take a month to build such a big knife, I'm not sure yet. ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "The master still wants to create such a big knife, because he doesn't want to lose this cash cow, right?" ”

The master smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a cash cow. In my hands, I have won more than 99 people, 100 or 200 in the past, and 3,000 or 5,000 in the past two years, and I have won a lot. It may be that 100 is too full, and you won it. Boss, you won my big knife, but you have to publicize it more, and when my new knife is played, business will be better. ”

Wuyang said: "You don't have a big knife during this time, you can't win money, I will keep the big knife, and I will send someone to get it later." ”

"That's not going to work. If someone wins again, do I give you the knife or give it to him? Money can't be earned, and there will be opportunities in the future. Let's go, I'll take you to see my blacksmith's room. ”

The next room was filled with spring steel plates for trucks, all old or broken.

"Master, you're just making knives out of spring steel plates?"

"Yes. This kind of steel plate is cheap, easy to buy, and the material is good. In fact, to make knives, steel is not important, what is important is forging and quenching. After forging, the knife will be sharp and durable, and if the quenching is appropriate, the blade will not be easy to notch. ”

When I went to another room, there was a stove, a large iron pier, and a quenching pool, which was all the belongings.

There is nothing to see, Wuyang said: "Master, I want 5 big knives, how much is each?" ”

"50 thousand. For a 50-pound knife, I need to forge it for 15 days, and it takes 5 days for molding. ”

"Can you get a little cheaper?"

"I'm driving at a real price. A 5-pound knife, I only need two days, the price is 12,000, you will know if you do the math. ”

Wuyang said: "This is quite profitable to make knives." ”

"It's okay to make money, but it's too tiring, and now young people don't want to learn. I'll do it for a few more years, and I'll not be able to do it anymore. ”

Wuyang had heard that the real Tibetans rarely did business. Raising yaks, sheep, horses, and barley is their main way of working. Many people get up in the morning to go to the meridians, and some have to go to the mountains and make pilgrimages, and they go for several months, and the state has a living allowance. "When are we going to pay?"

"Pay some deposit, leave contact information, and bring the payment when you pick up the goods."

"Is it okay to pay 10,000 first?" Wuyang asked after telling his mobile phone number.

"That's enough, it's just a meaning."

"Master, don't open our broadsword."

"How's that going to work? If you use a grinding wheel to grind in the future, it will produce high temperatures, and it will not be quenched, and the knife will not be used, which will damage my signature. ”

"No, we're just practicing martial arts, and we'll never have to fight."

"Then it's up to you."

Several people said goodbye and got into the car, Ye Xuewen went to lift the big knife, but he didn't mention it, and he made a big red face. Li Xize smiled and said, "Officer Ye, you are a civil official." ”

"But the chief is not a general."

The next day, the others went to Nyingchi in a small plane, and Wuyang and the deputy division commander who was the navigator took a helicopter. There are only more than 300 kilometers of direct flight in the air, but the helicopter has to go zigzag, so it can only arrange a refueling point on the way.

The further south the helicopter flies, the greener the mountain becomes. Although the summit is still covered with snow and ice, there are sparse shrubs on the slopes and even large trees in the valley. It must be because there are no mountains that are too high to block it, and the warm and humid air currents of the Indian Ocean can blow here.

After refueling at the refueling point, the driver takes a break. The navigator took him to an old village nearby where the villagers had been relocated. I saw a thousand-year-old peach tree. Nearby, there are many hundreds of years old peach trees, which is a miracle. In the mainland, very few peach trees can survive more than 30 years, but here, like other trees, can survive for a long time, definitely because of the harsh winter here and the absence of pests and diseases. Wuyang thought. If you can buy some land in the future, you will have to plant peach trees, where the peaches will ripen a few months later than in the mainland, so that those who like to eat peaches will be able to feast their mouths.

Flying to Bayi Town, Secretary Yang has already arranged Chinese rice, stone pot chicken and stone pot fish are the main dishes, and there are many other dishes, and the taste is much better. The altitude here is only more than 2,000 meters, and the main thing is that it is surrounded by dense forests. There is plenty of oxygen, no different from the mainland.

Nguyen Nana was a lot more active. Yu Huijuan and Gao Xiaoya also talked and laughed. After dinner, they were going shopping, and Lin Zhimin and they were going to sort out the marks on the map. Secretary Yang and Commander Guo are going to inspect the work, and there is nothing left in the afternoon.

Called Li Wenlan, and she quickly sent a pickup truck to pick it up. After walking for more than ten minutes, there was an extremely long fence on the side of the road leading to the capital in Bayi Town, and the driver said: "This is our mastiff farm." ”

"Secretary Li, this is Brother Yong." Li Wenlan, who was waiting at the gate, said.

Wuyang knew that he was the deputy director of the regional public security bureau, so he smiled and said, "Comrade director, don't you take a break at noon?" ”

Brother Yong smiled and said, "Isn't this to welcome Secretary Li's arrival?" Secretary, inside please. ”

Inside the fence to the right is a small two-story building, then a red-carpeted stage, and then a mastiff house in the woods. There is no road for cars in it, which is the same as Li Wenlan's mastiff farm. Vehicles pass, and the noise can cause uneasiness in the Tibetan mastiff.

Sitting down in the living room, Brother Yong said: "Secretary Li, what you see is our inner courtyard, the outer courtyard is large, and most of the Tibetan mastiffs are free-range in the outer courtyard. ”

Wuyang said: "The temperature here is much lower than in the mainland. ”

"Yes, it is more than 10 degrees lower than the capital, which is very suitable for the growth of Tibetan mastiffs."

"Brother Yong, can you buy such a large plot of land here?"

"The entire Bayi Town was built only after the 18th Army entered Tibet at the beginning of the liberation, and it has been a small population before, and it has only gradually developed in recent years. Located 20 kilometres from the city centre, it is a long river beach with 8 kilometres of hills on both sides, and it was a barren beach before we bought it. So it doesn't take much trouble to buy, and it doesn't cost much, it's only 5,000 yuan a mu, and there is no return. ”

"How much did you buy for such a bargain?"

"When I bought the land last year, I felt that it didn't need to be too big to build a mastiff farm, and the land here was relatively barren, so it was enough to buy 80,000 acres. Who knew that after the government measured us, several mainland companies would develop the land and fence off most of the beach. I discussed with Boss Li, so I had to go upstream to the river beach and buy it again. The river beach there is only a few hundred meters wide, and less than 30,000 acres have been bought. We decided to plant fruit trees on both sides of the river, build dams on the river, and use the water to raise fish. Last winter, we took advantage of the freezing time of the river to repair six dams, and now we have stocked the fry. ”

Li Wenlan said: "The section of the river blocked by the six dams is more than 30 kilometers long and between 50 and 20 meters wide, which is not small. On both sides of the hillside, we have planted cherries, pears and other fruit trees. This outer courtyard, which was also planted with cherries last year, has already borne fruit this year. ”

"Didn't plant a peach tree? I think it's nice to plant peach trees here. ”

Brother Yong said: "It is good to plant peach trees, but the ripening period of peaches is concentrated, and peaches are not easy to store, so only 200 acres are planted, and you will go back to try it later." ”

Wuyang said: "Yes, what you have decided according to the actual situation must be the best. Enough tea, let's go check it out. ”

Brother Yong said: "I can only go around the inner courtyard, and only Boss Li dares to go to the outer courtyard." ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "Mastiff breeders are still afraid of mastiffs?" ”

"After all, I don't come much, and the Tibetan mastiff is too wild, maybe I'll give it a bite when I can."

When I went out, I saw that the inner courtyard was surrounded by a mastiff house, and there were only some small mastiffs in the mastiff house, so Wuyang asked, "Are the little mastiffs here sold?" ”

Li Wenlan said: "The number of mastiffs here is not enough, so we will not sell them for the time being." In the future, if it can be sold here, it will be sold, and if it can't be sold, it will be used as a breeding base. The water and grass here are abundant. Good yak breeding. It is also convenient to buy it at the Tibetan home. ”

When I entered the outer yard, I saw fruit trees planted everywhere, the cherry trees were about two meters high, the trees were hung with sparse small cherries, the grass in the field was growing well, the yaks were grazing, and the Tibetan mastiffs, large and small, were chasing and frolicking. Or lie down to sleep.

"Wuyang, the place is too big, let's ride a horse to have a look."

When she came to the stable, Li Wenlan recalled the two white horses, and instead of putting them in the saddle, she took out two plastic bags, "Wait for you here to buy them." ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "You want to review your homework, right?" ”

Vinland said, "You don't want to? ”

"Think, let's go."

Hop on your horse and head out for the river. The river is not wide, more than 20 meters. The water is crystal clear, and fish can be seen swimming. "Fish farming here, too?" Wuyang asked.

"Raised, at both ends of our territory, just block the metal net. Those neighbors upstream did the same. ”

"With such shallow water, it must have been frozen in winter."

"It's okay, there is a deep pool, there were fish in this river before. Have you eaten the fish here? It tastes good. It's just that it grows slowly, and it's less than a pound in 3 or 4 years......"

"Let them grow slowly."

After crossing the river, the grass was very lush, and Vinlan dismounted, opened the blanket, and the clothes on his body were reduced one by one. Wuyang did the same, and after taking it off, she thought she would come, but she ran away. Wuyang chased after her for a while, and finally caught up and hugged her from behind.

The Tibetan mastiffs in the vicinity all ran over, and a few small mastiffs roared at them. While they were doing their own thing, Vinland was also stroking the little mastiffs. Wuyang can only take care of those big mastiffs.

"Wuyang, if we are a shepherd couple, every day as a quilt and the ground as a bed, we can do whatever we want, how comfortable it is."

Wuyang said: "Occasionally taste it and feel fresh, or it will be greasy in 10 days." ”

"If you haven't tasted city life, you won't get tired of it."

"Without the hustle and bustle of city life, you wouldn't be able to experience the tranquility here."

"That's true, let's seize every moment now."

At about 5 o'clock, Xiaoya called, "Wuyang, where are you?" ”

"I'm here in Vinland, are you done shopping?"

"I went back to the hotel a long time ago. Such a big place, it took an hour to walk around. Do you know what the stock market is doing today? ”

"I don't know, did it fall?"

"Yes, a big drop. Li Dan called Nana just now and said that he wanted to invite him to dinner. ”

"Okay, let's go back and talk about it. It's almost time to eat, go back to the hotel, and call Vinland too. ”

"Okay, I'll call Brother Yong too, just so that he can meet the leader."

After washing in the icy river water, the two returned to the mastiff farm, Brother Yong was still there, and Wuyang said: "Come with me to dinner, there is the leader of the autonomous region, just mention your matter to him." ”

"Secretary Li, I'm not going. I feel like the way I want to live now. The social security here is good, and it is not too much to be a deputy director, and I have the time to manage this mastiff farm, and the income is also good. If you climb up, you have to be a man with your tail between your legs every day, and finally retire, but it is also a department and bureau level, and you will be ruined for the rest of your life. ”

Wuyang smiled and said, "You are the decline of the revolutionary will." If everyone were like you, no one would do our job. ”

"Secretary Li, I admit that what you said is right, but I have seen it through. Using cadres is like coaxing a child, which child is well-behaved, he will give jelly beans to eat, and which cadre is obedient and capable, and he will be promoted to a position, but in the end, he will not be busy for that little thing, and he will be busy all his life. ”

"Forget it, you can't think like this, let alone spread it. I'll take Vinland to dinner, and I still have to send it off. ”

Back at the hotel, Secretary Yang, Commander Guo, Commander Liu, as well as the directors of the district government and the leaders of the five major families in the region were drinking tea and chatting. After getting acquainted with the comrades in the area, they began to sit at the table.

Commander Guo pulled Wuyang to the side, "Secretary Li, thank you, Minister Huang personally called me just now and said that my matter has been reported to the Military Commission." He also criticized me, saying that I ignored him because I saw that he was going to retire. ”

Wuyang smiled and said: "The criticism is right, even if you are retired, you should call and say hello." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I accept it with an open heart. Also, about Ye Xuewen and Tang Guolin, I discussed with the political commissar last night, and the political commissar was very happy, and held a party committee overnight to discuss it, and finally printed out the order. Ye Xuewen is very capable, the political commissar was reluctant to let him go to the grassroots level, and was appointed as the deputy chief of the cadre section, Tang Guolin was promoted on the spot and was appointed as the deputy head of the regiment, are you still satisfied? ”

"Satisfied. From battalion to regiment, it is a hurdle, and it is said that many officers can't get through, thank you. I would like to ask for your continued care. ”

"Didn't say that. They are talents, and the army needs them. Secretary Li, the border guard regiment has prepared two trees for you, which have been dug up by the roots. You give me an address, and I'll arrange for a vehicle to send you back. ”

"No, I don't. The conditions of the border guards are so difficult, how can I ask for their things? Besides, it's also a violation of discipline. ”

"Secretary Li, this kind of tree is very difficult to find. Its wood is particularly hard, and its density is comparable to that of stone. And the wood grain is particularly beautiful, making it the best choice for furniture. ”

"What's it called?"

"I don't know. Local Tibetans call them shameless trees. The tree sheds its bark every year, and as soon as the old bark falls off and the new bark begins to fall off again, you can't see when the bark is intact. Local people and some powerful people are looking for this tree in every possible way. We will go to Nanyin Ditch tomorrow, you can see this kind of tree, but they are all very small, less than 10 centimeters in diameter, no matter how big they are, they will be stolen and felled. ”

"How did the defense group find the big tree over there?" (To be continued......)
