900 jade carvings
Han Defu said good things for his man: "Uncle Xiu, Yuyang County is really poor, there are many mountains here and little land, and the farmers have worked hard to plant a year's harvest, and they can't even fill their stomachs, where is the spare money?" The common people are so poor, the county government will naturally not have money, and he really wants to build roads, but after saving for a year, he hasn't saved much money, and he can't even afford to repair a roadbed.

Han Dexing couldn't help nodding with a bitter face, of course he knew the truth of building roads first if he wanted to get rich, but the foundation of the Yamen in Yuyang County was really too bad, even if the Yamen was squeezed dry, he couldn't squeeze out a few yuan, what kind of road to repair!
Han Qixiu asked, "What are the specialties of Yuyang County?" ”
Han Dexing said: "What special products can there be, that is, bamboo shoots, tea leaves, lychees, and other counties have them, but the method of stir-frying tea here is a bit special, and the tea brewed is very fragrant, Dove quickly brewed it for Uncle Xiu and Aunt Xiu." ”
Han Defu patted his head and shouted in annoyance: "Ouch, my pig brain, I haven't even made a cup of tea in the morning!" ”
This girl ran to make tea in a hurry, using the unique roasted tea here, at first glance there is nothing special, but as soon as you pour boiling water, the fragrance of the tea will rise, it is indeed very special, different from other teas.
"This tea is quite fragrant, Dove will wrap some for me, and I'll take it back to drink." Shen Jiao said with a smile.
"Cheng, I still have two catties here, you bring them all, anyway, neither I nor De Xing like tea." Han Defu said heartily.
Han Qixiu was not too satisfied with this tea, just such a little tea was not enough to attract the housekeepers, it turned out that he had already made plans to let the housekeepers come to Yuyang County to invest, so that one can help the people of Yuyang County improve their lives, and the other can add luster to Han Dexing's career, killing two birds with one stone.
Just want others to invest, you have to come up with something exciting, just the broken road at the county gate is enough.
"Nothing else?" Han Qixiu asked.
Han Dexing shook his head: "It's really gone, Yuyang County is really poor, farmers can't even fill their stomachs, they eat sweet potatoes and cassava for half a year, I can't bear to look at it every time I go to the countryside, it's too poor." ”
Shen Jiao frowned, Province G has always been a big economic province, but the gap between the rich and the poor is also large, the rich places are really rich, and the poor places are really poor, and they may not even be able to compare with the frontier.
He sat for a long time, and after eating an apple and two biscuits, his belly was full, but the little one's ass could not sit still, and he looked at his surroundings curiously.
"Niu Niu!"
Zhuang Zhuang suddenly ran to the table in the corner, Yuan Yuan also followed, the room was so big, the little guy quickly ran to the table, but the table was taller than their height, and the little ones with short legs and short hands couldn't reach it at all.
"Brother, it's out of reach!"
Something to find his brother, Zhuang Zhuang tried hard a few times, and looked at his brother in frustration.
Yuan Yuan was really a good brother, and without saying a word, he picked up his younger brother, and Zhuang Zhuang grinned happily, and his fat paws stretched out towards his goal, which was a dark brown stone carving.
The statue is an old ox, bowing his head and working hard to plough the field, the carving is very good, lifelike, and the statue is not big, it is the size of a palm, and the strong two hands are holding the joy and running back.
"Mom, Niu Niu!"
Zhuang Zhuang was like offering a treasure, holding the stone ox in front of Shen Jiao, Shen Jiao took it with a smile and looked at it carefully.
"This stone cow is really well carved, but it's a pity that this material is not good, if it is replaced with jade, this statue will be valuable!" Shen Jiao had some regrets.
In the previous life, the Shen family had countless gold and silver jewelry, and all kinds of jade carvings were not a few, and there were a lot of them in her boudoir alone, and they were all the works of famous jade carving masters at that time.
If you see a lot of this good thing, your eyesight will naturally be practiced, which is similar to the principle of becoming a good doctor after a long illness, so although Shen Jiao doesn't know jade carving, she can see at a glance that the craftsman who carves the stone cow is extraordinary.
Han Dexing said with a smile: "This is a friend I met when I went to the countryside, his father is a famous local jade carving master, but no one has asked him to carve jade over the years, the old man came back to farm, this stone ox is the old man has nothing to do with the stone carving on the mountain, I look very chic, so I took it back and put it." ”
"This old man's craftsmanship is really good, it's a pity to come back to farm." Shen Jiao sighed.
Han Dexing said helplessly: "It's not, good craftsmen have to come back to farm, my friend's village is a jade carver, their jade carvings there were quite famous, and life was quite good, but now it has become the poorest village, alas!" ”
Shen Jiao asked curiously, "You mean that the village is full of jade carvers?" ”
"Yes, in fact, their town is doing this business, but my friend's village is the most famous, and every family learns this craft, and they learn it best, but the younger generation now doesn't like to learn it, and the craft is about to be lost!"
Han Dexing sighed deeply, there were some things that he couldn't say, but he really felt that those years were really fucked, so much so that he couldn't even save the money to build the road!
Shen Jiao became interested when she heard it, the whole village is carved with dry jade, which is really rare!
Han Qixiu also came to be interested, he took the stone ox from his youngest son's hand, and looked at it for a long time, although he didn't understand jade carving, he might see that this stone ox was carved to a high level, and it was not something that could be practiced overnight.
"I remember that Yuyang County does not produce jade, how can so many people learn jade carving?" Han Qixiu asked.
Han Dexing explained: "This is going to start from the previous dynasty, Yuyang County has many mountains and little land, my friend's village is even more in the mountain nest, the land is pitiful, and the sweet potatoes are not enough, some people want to go out to earn extra money, and went to the neighboring Burma country to get jade, and find a way to carve ornaments to sell, and gradually became famous, but solved the belly problem, but in the past ten years or so, it has begun to be unlucky again." ”
This is the change of poverty, if the stomach is not full, go out to find a way, some people go to steal and rob, the ancestors of Han Dexing's friends rely on their wisdom and hard-working hands, and think of eating by handicraft, which is really respectable!
Han Qixiu also remembered at this time, he seemed to have heard that there was a place in G Province where the jade carving was very famous, but he didn't think it was Yuyang County, when he chose the place where Han Dexing took office, he picked one in several poor counties in G Province, and let him choose Yuyang County, but it was really a coincidence!
Jade carving, this is a good thing, Han Qixiu's brain is active, foreign devils like these things the most, Huaxia wants to be rich, don't you have to cheat money from the pockets of foreign devils!
Whatever foreign devils like, they will sell, and the more they like, the more expensive they will sell!
This matter has to be discussed with Guan Yan Guan Ran, these two people!
