Chapter 282: Longevity Village
It took a whole day, and Xu An's feet finally stepped on the land of Hezibao again.
This time the road was not very smooth, mainly because of Xu Kang and Xu Le. It's not that they're disobedient, it's that they get motion sickness!
There is also a direct bus from Xujia Village to Haishi, and the two little guys have sat many times, and there has never been a situation of motion sickness. So, Xu An took it for granted that the two little guys would not get motion sickness.
But most of the roads on this side of Hezibao are yellow mud roads, and when it rains, the cars are pressed, and the roads are full of potholes and bumps.
Then, ten minutes after sitting on the bus, the two little ones vomited gloriously.
Fortunately, the passengers of this train have long been surprised by this, and when they saw that Xu An did not bring a plastic bag, they gave him a few.
The two-hour bus vomited for an hour, cried for an hour and a half, and yelled that he was not going to pick up mushrooms for half an hour and was going home.
Seeing that the two little guys vomited yellow bile water and came out, their little faces were red from crying, their hair was completely wet with sweat, and they were wet and sticky to their faces, Xu An was also a little distressed and a little regretful, this time he went out too hastily.
But now that it has come, and the sin has been suffered, then it is natural to play, otherwise the sin will be in vain.
When the tractor passed, the road was still bumpy, but because the tractor was an open space, the two little ones regained some spirits, at least they no longer shouted to go home.
It was already seven o'clock in the evening when he arrived at Hezibao, and after a hasty meal and washing, Xu An took the two of them to rest together; However, Xu Heping and the two clan uncles were very interested in Hezibao, and after eating, the three of them wandered around in the dark.
When they wandered around and came back to the village branch to rest, Xu An didn't know.
But when he woke up the next morning, Xu An clearly saw that the three of them had big dark circles under their eyes.
Despite this, the three of them were still in good spirits, followed Xu An, and Li Sixin took a piece into the mountains to pick mushrooms.
When they got up in the morning, the two little guys were still a little wilted and had no energy, and Xu An was mentally prepared to go back halfway.
Unexpectedly, after entering the mountain, the two little ones suddenly became energetic, and even had the strength to run around, pouting their butts to look for mushrooms under the trees, dead branches, and bushes, and shouting from time to time, 'Brother, come quickly, I have found the mushrooms!' β
Just like Xu An's first time in the mountains, 98% of the mushrooms he found were poisonous mushrooms that could not be eaten.
On the way up the mountain, I also met a lot of people, including the villagers of Hezibao and the villagers of nearby villages, all of whom carried long bamboo poles and smashed hard around several trees, and the fruits hanging on the trees fell down.
The two little ones were even more excited when they saw this, and they didn't want to leave even if they were hit by the fruit, so they squatted under the tree and picked up the fruit. It's just that they are like the bear breaking corn, picking one and throwing one at the other, and after picking it up for a long time, there is still only one in their hands.
The mushrooms have been picked, the fruits have been beaten, and the scenery has been seen, so it's time to get down to business.
Xu An handed over Xu Kang and Xu Le to Xu Heping, and he took the two little ones to play with the children in the village, and he himself followed Li Sixin to inspect the work in the village.
The first thing I saw was the villagers who were in charge of sorting and packing.
In order to facilitate supervision and work, the work site is arranged on the ground floor of Hezibao.
The large square tables used for eating were all moved out, seven or eight square tables were put together into a long strip, and there were long benches on both sides of the square table, one bench was a person, and in front of each person was a small electronic scale with a number accurate to the gram.
The first person is responsible for picking up the bag and handing it to the second person separately; The second person pours the prescribed number of grams of mushrooms into it and hands it to the third person; The second action was repeated eight times, and the bag was passed to the last person.
The man neatly sealed the mouth of the bag, took out an outer packaging bag and put it in, sealed the seal, and a mushroom soup package from Hezibao was completed.
At the beginning, when they were asked to wear anti-droplet masks, hoods and other protective equipment at work, most of them were not very acceptable, and finally they had to deduct five yuan once when they found that they were not wearing them, and everyone obediently worked according to the procedure."
At present, there are a total of 20 people responsible for the packaging of mushroom soup packets, 10 people in a line, each line can pack two to 300 packets of mushroom soup packets in an hour on average, and the total output is about 3,500 copies a day."
Since the day before yesterday, I received a notice from the director of Gu that some crops have been put on the shelves for sale and have sales, and the ten people here are responsible for packing the crops."
At present, the crops sold to the outside world are chestnuts, walnuts, potatoes, kudzu flour and brown rice, and nearly 2,000 copies can be sent out in a day. The potatoes were sold on the day they were sold for a hundred and twenty pounds, and it took me a long time to find a sack and a large cardboard box to pack."
With Li Sixin's narration, Xu An took a look at the people working in the ground and all kinds of crops.
Hezibao is really reassuring here, whether it is home-grown or wild crops, all of them are picked out to sell, and I don't see half of the bad ones in a circle.
Gu Jiayi also did not have customer feedback that the goods were not right and shoddy, and the occasional problem was that the express delivery was crushed during transportation.
"Secretary Li, the weather is good now, and everyone can still work in this hall. If it's windy and rainy, or if it's getting cold, you can't do it, right? Xu An couldn't help but care about this problem after walking through it.
Heyββββ
Li Sixin sighed, rubbed his hands vigorously, and said with a smile: "I'm also worried about this problem, but there is really no place in this village where so many people can be placed at one time, if they let them do this at home, I am worried that no one will supervise them and make some messy things to deal with, so I can only make do with it like this, and then slowly figure out a way." β
After that, Li Sixin invited Xu An to go to the area planned by Hezibao and planted shabu-shabu, and reported the current progress to Xu An as he went.
The Poverty Alleviation Office agreed, but was almost called back by the higher-level department, and we applied for a loan of 1.5 million in one go, and the amount was too high, and then Professor Wei came forward to intercede and guarantee, so it was approved, and this is here."
Xu An has an impression of this hillside, and the last time he went up the mountain, Li Sixin took them to walk from here.
At that time, the hillside was overgrown with wild grass, but now not only has all the wild grass on this hillside been cleared, but even the wild grass in the farmland planted with rattan peppers at the bottom of the hillside is gone, and only the bare vine pepper tree trunks remain, and all the branches covered with rattan pepper have been cut off.
"Did you pick all those rattan peppers?" Xu An pointed to the bare rattan pepper tree trunks and smiled.
"Yes, I picked it for two days and picked it for two days, and now it's almost sunburned."
"How many were picked?"
"The total can be three tons." As he spoke, Li Sixin glanced at Xu An and quickly withdrew it, as if casually asking, "Is there a chance for this rattan pepper to be sold in the Taobao store?" β
"Hmm" Xu An paused and replied, "It's not that you can't put it, it's just that I don't recommend it?" β
"Huh?" Li Sixin looked at Xu An suspiciously.
"At present, Xu's lo-mei shop can consume three hundred and fifty catties of rattan pepper a month, which is more than four thousand three hundred catties in a year, more than two tons, besides" Xu An looked at Li Sixin with a smile: "Xu's lo-mei is expected to open at least twelve plus branches in Haishi after the Chinese New Year this year." The three tons of rattan pepper in your village may not be enough for our store to consume! β
Li Sixin reacted after being stunned for two seconds, and a big smile suddenly bloomed on his face: "Then I will thank Boss Xu in advance, we can really have a good year in Hezibao this year!" Hahahaha! β
This sudden laughter attracted everyone who was busy in the greenhouse, and they all looked back at the two of them, their eyes full of inquiry.
"Hahaha, Boss Xu came over this time, planning to collect all the rattan peppers we picked! Hahahaha! β
Li Sixin did not shy away from telling everyone about this, and from the side, it was equivalent to putting pressure on Xu An, for fear that he would backtrack.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes shifted from Li Sixin to Xu An, with a hint of expectation on their faces.
"Yes, eighteen yuan a catty, buy it all!" Xu An nodded, took Li Sixin's words, and announced the purchase price by the way.
"Oops, thank you Boss Xu! Every time Boss Xu comes over, there is good news! A few people who were close quickly approached, and a pair of rough hands shook Xu An's hands.
Just now, everyone was facing away from Xu An, and they were wearing straw hats sewn with cloth curtains to shade the sun, and they only looked at the back as an old man in his fifties or sixties. Now that they had walked in front of them, Xu An saw the silver thread under their straw hats.
"Old man, how old are you this year?" Looking at their white-haired appearance, Xu An couldn't help but ask.
"I'm eighty-two years old!" The old man proudly stated his age.
Eighty-two years old?
But this appearance looks like he is in his early sixties at most, and Xu An, who was wielding a hoe and working just now, can see it clearly, even more neat than a young man, no matter how he looks like an eighty-two-year-old man!
"That's right, eighty-two years old is not too old, this is the fourth master, the oldest on the field, is already ninety-one!" Li Sixin saw Xu An's suspicions, and immediately beckoned Xu An to introduce another older old man.
Although the fourth master is a little thin, his face is ruddy, his voice is loud, and his steps are like flying, he still doesn't look like a ninety-year-old man!
"Hey, hey." Li Sixin looked at Xu An's bewildered appearance and laughed, and explained: "It's hard to say from a distance, but in this village near Hezibao, the old people are all the top longevity, there are almost twenty people who are ninety years old, three people who are hundred years old, and the oldest is one hundred and three years old!" β
At this moment, Xu An really had a shocked face.
O centenarian!
On the Haishi side, if the old man lived past the age of 100, the local area would build a torii for him at the entrance of the village! This honor is only available in a few villages!
I never thought that there would be three of them on the side of Hezibao!
In addition to the inconvenient transportation, Hezibao is really a good place with good mountains and rivers!
Xu An's eyes were beating rapidly, as if he was thinking about something, and he was a little absent-minded in the second half of his inspection of Hezi Fort.
ββββββ
"Chen Gong, are you sure you didn't smell it wrong or something? I didn't smell anything except mud and fishy smell when I came here yesterday, not even engine oil. β
Yesterday, after Xu Dongliang received a call from Chen Gong, he hurriedly went out and rushed to the tidal flats. But when he arrived, he didn't notice anything unusual
"There's really a problem, the smell is stronger today, there's no wind today, you can definitely smell it if you come over now!" Chen Gong patted his chest and said with an oath.
"Okay, I'll be nearby, wait for me for ten minutes." Xu Dongliang finally chose to believe Chen Gong again, if he didn't find out this time, he planned to stay at the construction site for the next few days to see if it was Chen Gong's nose problem, or if it was true.
Xu Dongliang kicked his feet sharply, the wheels rolled rapidly, and he arrived at the tidal flat two minutes earlier than expected.
Before the car stopped, Xu Dongliang saw a group of people gathered in the distance, beckoning to him in unison, shouting for him to hurry up.
The tidal flat is not easy to walk, the distance of more than 100 meters takes more than a minute, looking at Xu Dongliang's slow movements, Chen Gong is anxious, and he can't wait to go over and drag him over.
But at this time, the smell is really strong. I didn't feel it when I stood on the road, but the more I walked towards where Chen Gong was, the more obvious the smell became......
"Chen Gong, do you know what this smells like? Is it possible that some part of the machine is leaking? Xu Dongliang quickly investigated the problem before he could stand still.
"It's not." Chen Gong shook his head without hesitation: "When I smelled this smell yesterday, I had already checked all the machines, even the water, juice, drinks and so on brought by everyone, and even the food was checked, but it was not at all."
Well......
After Xu Dongliang nodded, his nose twitched a few times, as if he had found some clue, his right foot was pulled out of the mud and walked in one direction. When the construction workers saw Xu Dongliang walking, they followed behind to watch the excitement while touching a fish openly.
The walking route was not straight, sometimes a bend, sometimes a circle, sometimes a pause, just like that, Xu Dongliang walked to the hillside not far from the factory, and then walked further, leaving the range of the tidal flats and stepping on solid ground.
After hesitating for a second, Xu Dongliang's mud-covered feet stepped on the weedy field, picked up a stick and walked in the direction of the factory while beating it.
Walking through the weeds, over the broken walls, quickly approaching the factory, and looking through the glassless windows, the inside of the factory was as empty as I remembered......
When the afterglow of his gaze fell on the decaying window frame, Xu Dongliang's gaze became sharp.
Wrong!
The index finger of his right hand landed next door to the place where the color was a little wrong, and with a slight stroke, the rotten wood floating on the surface fell, revealing a flesh-colored inside, exactly like the next door!
The upper body leaned into the room, and after looking around the factory, it froze under the window, where several beer bottles with no ash were placed horizontally. Reaching out and picking up a beer bottle, looking at the bottleneck position, the date of production - 2012.06.21

There is a temporary dinner, and there is only one shift today (_)
