Chapter 40 Buying cement and paving the road [Asking for Recommendation and Collection]
As expected, today is another good day. In the early morning, the white fog is clouded, and there is frost on the branches and leaves, and among the grasses, it is just such a thin layer, and when the sun comes out, it will be fleeting.
The misty fields are not as quiet and tranquil as usual. There were people talking from far and near, and Liu Yi felt that there was a bit of the hustle and bustle of the vegetable market in the town.
Through the mist, carefully discern this voice, aren't these voices the people of the village group? Liu Yi also vaguely saw the figure of the uncle disappearing in the fog, today is the day when the mountain path in Liu Yi's hometown is widened.
Liu Yi was still thinking about pulling the cement back yesterday, but it was delayed by other things. It's not too late, I took out my newly bought Gionee mobile phone, swiped my finger across the screen, found Li Xiaokang's phone number and dialed it, and listened to the music when the phone was connected.
Connected the phone, "Xiao Li, I didn't contact you yesterday." Do you have time today"?
"Brother Liu, I was waiting for your call yesterday, but I didn't call, so I guess you have something to do. It was foggy this morning, and now I'm empty."
"Oh, that's good. Today, you will help me go to the cement factory to buy, I want 20 tons of cement."
"That's what it takes."
"My hometown is going to widen the former sidewalk," Liu Yi explained.
"Brother Liu has returned to the village and now it's all been sent, and the roads have begun to be repaired," Xiao Li said happily on the other end of the phone.
"Hehe, then borrow your auspicious words. Now it's just for paving the road, but after half a year, the cement needs more, our village is ready to raise funds to repair the bridge, and then also call you to pull the cement" Mr. Wu over there, has called to say that the hotel owners have agreed to repair the bridge, but the vegetables will be given priority in the future. For Liu Yi, it is the same for everyone, and the trust of these acquaintances is higher, which is not a problem. Once the funds are secured, the construction of the bridge can also be revealed to the villagers.
"Oh, come over here, then. I'll send you directly to the sales department of the cement factory, and there was a person in it who left a business card for me last time, and you can get a discount when you go to him."
"Okay, you wait in town, I'll be there shortly"
He Xiao Li ran all the way to the cement factory, Liu Yi's hometown is located in the Zhongliang Mountains, the length of the mountain range stretches for thousands of kilometers, the widest place is also dozens of kilometers, there are streams all over it, and it is rich in minerals, coal, limestone, natural gas, gypsum, and stone crystals are distributed.
However, the Luoshi Town area of Zhongliang Mountain is mainly limestone, and there are three large cement factories in the jurisdiction of Luoshi Town. This time, Liu Yi is going to Tianzhu Cement, which was formerly a large state-owned enterprise, but it is not well managed. Later, during the enterprise reform, it was contracted by several private bosses, and the painstaking operation was still breathless, especially after the rapid development of real estate in Shancheng City in 2005, the changes of the cement plant can only be described as changing with each passing day.
Liu Yi is not very happy about the development of the cement plant. The raw material of cement is undoubtedly limestone, looking at the car getting closer and closer to the cement factory, the surrounding environment and the situation of a whole mountain being hollowed out, Liu Yi has an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Of course, people need cement for construction, but for this kind of unplanned and disorderly mining, it has a great impact on the entire mountain environment. In a few cement factories in Luoshi Town, when a car passes by, dust will fly everywhere. The surrounding buildings, even the trees, are covered with a thick layer of stone dust.
Is it possible for an enterprise to wantonly destroy the surrounding environment and turn a deaf ear to the surrounding life when facing its own development, and have no sense of social responsibility?
Xiao Li arrived in the car, Liu Yi slowly turned around from his thoughts, now is not the time to think about this, and Liu Yi should not come to this leisure, only when he has the ability, can he have the right to speak.
Xiao Li smoothly contacted the man surnamed Wang in the sales office, and heard that the cement procurement was only 20 tons, so he was not very interested, and negotiated the cement procurement in a few perfunctory words. The ex-factory price of cement is really not expensive, just 200 yuan per ton, 4000 yuan. However, this is an ordinary mark, and the high-grade one must be much more expensive, but it is enough to pave the road in the countryside, after all, there is no big car to run it over.
When he returned to the village, Liu Yi called his uncles and uncles who were quarrying at the foot of the nearby mountain, and asked everyone to come and unload all the cement on the car, just 400 bags per 50 kilograms, and the unloading was almost finished in less than an hour.
Seeing that the time is almost noon, Xiao Li helped today. Liu Yi warmly invited Xiao Li to his home as a guest, but Xiao Li politely refused, for the truck driver, time is money. Liu Yi nodded understandingly, and then took 200 yuan to Xiao Li, Xiao Li repeatedly refused, took the money and said goodbye and got in the car and left.
After lunch and serving several dogs, Liu Yi came to the side of the road. When the cement arrived, everyone had to hurry up and put a few bags of cement at intervals along the road for others to use.
After a few months of exercise, Liu Yi carried the cement in a hurry, and carried the cement to the side of the road at the foot of the mountain. Here the villagers found a wheelbarrow, which can put 4 or 5 bags of cement on it at a time and push it away, so that people can save a lot of labor.
It was the uncle who was in charge of the stone-beating, and he was now the best stone-beating in the village. It doesn't take much brick and stone to widen the cement road, and only the narrow road is difficult to widen with stones, so now their work is done, and when the cement arrives, they go to the roadside where there are several sections that need to be stoned, stir the cement and build the stones next to the original roadside, reaching the standard width of 2 meters.
Liu Yi couldn't help much, so he followed the trail and walked all the way to the vegetable greenhouse. Along the way, several people in groups, special people to draw the part of the trail that needs to be widened, special people to mix cement river sand, and special people to spread the cement of Hehao Lu to the ground, everyone divided labor and cooperated, and did a very energetic job.
The people in the villages along the road would greet Liu Yi cordially when they saw him, and Liu Yi thought about going up and doing something. was stopped by the big guys, the most embarrassed back hall uncle spoke, Liu Yi was the general person in charge of the entire paving matter, and Liu Yi was looking for unified coordination, and Liu Yi was very embarrassed, and walked away in a gloomy manner.
However, Liu Yi observed along the road and really found a lot of mistakes for him, the whole road is two meters wide, if the two board cars are wrong, it will definitely not pass, you have to find a way to build a wider place where there is space, so that the vegetables are transported quickly and time-saving.
In addition, the road surface will definitely not be able to dry now, and the board car will have a certain weight with vegetables in two days, and the wheels will crush the road surface when they pass. A few days ago, we also discussed this problem, try to walk on the road surface of the original trail, and reduce the damage of the board car to the newly paved road. But now Liu Yi thinks to himself, when the time comes, the vegetable transportation will be busy, and everyone will definitely not be able to take care of this problem, and they will have to find other ways to avoid it.
How can we solve this problem, Liu Yi stood in place and thought anxiously. Thinking about how to deal with this situation in the construction of highways in the city, you don't have to think about laying steel plates on the road, isn't that overkill? It's not very realistic, it's not very realistic, the amount of planks used is still very huge if you pave wooden planks for several miles, who has the same thickness of planks at home, and it will be so much.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone in the distance saying, "Liu Wazi, help me intercept that chicken, I just ran out of the closed bamboo fence."
Liu Yi looked at the voice, only to see the rooster running towards Liu Yi in a hurry, Liu Yi is standing on the road now, the rooster sees that there is an obstacle in front of him and wants to fly through the grass next to him, how can Liu Yi let it get his wish, he reached out and quickly ran over and grabbed a pair of wings of the rooster, and its legs kept kicking.
"Sister-in-law, I'll help you get it back" This sister-in-law is the wife of her cousin Liu Kunhua. 5 or 6 pounds of big roosters, without a handful of strength can not grasp firmly.
"Thanks to you, today I don't know how the bamboo strip broke a hole, and the rooster came out with the hole," the sister-in-law explained.
"Oh, it's possible that the dog ran in and ate the food inside."
As a result, Liu Yi guessed correctly, and when he walked to the chicken yard, a local dog was eating the boiled sweet potatoes fed to the chickens inside. Seeing us passing, she grabbed her tail and drilled out of the hole where she had just taken something to plug it, but it was opened again, and the sister-in-law picked up a branch like a dog sweeping away, and muttered "It's really a dog that can't be fed, I only gave it to you in the morning, and now I come to steal the sweet potatoes of chickens."
However, Liu Yi's mind is no longer here at all, and Liu Yi has seen the bamboo fence of his cousin's house to close chickens. The fence is very thin, if it is thinner, each piece of bamboo is connected together and used to pave the road, which can completely block the wheel of the board truck from crushing the road surface.
"Liu Wazi, what's wrong with you" The sister-in-law looked at Liu Yi looking at the bamboo fence on the side, and asked puzzled.
Liu Yi interrupted his sister-in-law's words, "Sister-in-law, this bamboo fence can still be woven a little denser, and it is best to connect each piece together"?
"It's simple, it's just for closing the chickens, there are intervals in between, as long as the chickens don't run out. Something to be secret, right? Do you want the bamboo curtain around the grain in the house?"
"If you want it, you have to get it, but when you make it, you can make it wider," Liu Yi said, and when the time comes, just make it one meter.
"It's very simple to make that, it's not a problem for one person to weave dozens of hundreds of meters a day, you want this thing" The sister-in-law pondered and was a little puzzled.
"Yes, then you will know the way" After speaking, Liu Yi walked to Uncle Tang.
invited a few uncles, uncles, and uncles who were in charge to come over, and Liu Yi opened his mouth to tell them his thoughts and opinions, and everyone agreed on the spot.
However, Uncle Cousin put forward an opinion, and the vegetables will be harvested the day after tomorrow, is it too late?
Uncle thought about it, this road can be completed today. I see that everyone will go back today to take time to cut the bamboo, tomorrow a day to step up or no problem, this bamboo curtain is now used to pave the road, as long as it is not broken, it can also be used for other purposes.
After the bamboo curtain of 1 or 2 meters wide is erected, the poultry and livestock are closed, and the vegetable garden can also be encircled, and the fence of the orchard is good.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the main project of a 2-meter-wide board road was completed, and there were still some branches on the side of the road that had not been cut off, and a small ditch was dug on the back wall of the road.
(Looking forward to vegetable harvest)
