Chapter 10: Backwardness
When Lao Han saw that the master was gone, he was depressed to death.
He paid for it.
I collected a lot of money, but it was debunked!
Isn't this a loss for the lady and a soldier!
"Qin Zan, what exactly do you want to do? My man, why did you let him go? ”
Old Han stood in front of Qin Zan with a black face.
His eyes were sharp.
Qin Zan tugged at the corners of his mouth unscrupulously, and there was some disdain in his tone.
"Old Han, I know you have an opinion about me, after all, you used to be in charge of the mine.
But you should also know that if it weren't for your negligence, our mine would not have been targeted by those people, let alone lose so much. ”
Hearing this, Lao Han snorted coldly, but he also knew that what the other party said was the truth.
It was indeed because he was talking nonsense, which led to the loss of a lot of ore.
was also targeted by that group of people because of this.
"Okay, forget it this time, I won't give you a chance in the future."
Old Han left at a loss.
The other miners saw that the main characters were gone, and they didn't need to stay here.
So, in a few minutes, only Qin Zan, Yuan Xiaomi, and a few familiar young people were left near the mine mouth.
"Boss, I think Lao Han is a thief."
"Yes, boss, if it goes on like this, we will still mine and not mine."
"Make trouble twice every three days, boss, you must not spare him this time."
You can't be too aggressive.
Otherwise, he will be a demon again and again.
How could Qin Zan not know this truth.
But Lao Han is different.
Lao Han has been in the mine for a long time, more than 20 years.
And he only took over the management of the mine two months ago.
In terms of experience and seniority, Qin Zan is not convinced.
If Lao Han is moved now, those old workers at the mine entrance will definitely think that he is targeting all miners.
Thinking of this, Qin Zan sighed heavily.
"I know, don't worry, he won't be able to jump for long."
When everyone heard Qin Zan's words, it was like taking a reassuring pill.
"Okay, boss, let's go down to the mine first."
In the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in front of the mine.
Zhao Dagang saw that his brother's face was ugly, and raised his hand to pat the other party's shoulder to show comfort.
"Don't listen to those stinky boys' nonsense, they know a fart, Lao Han is in his forties, he has mixed so many mines, and he has been a manager for more than ten years."
If it weren't for the mistake he made this time, he wouldn't have been replaced by Qin Zan, a newcomer.
Naturally, I was not convinced.
"Yes, I know!"
"It's good to know, don't worry, you go back and rest, I haven't had a good night's sleep for seven or eight days, I'm watching here."
It's going to be fine. ”
Qin Zan naturally trusted Zhao Dagang.
But since he came, he had to do something to do before he could go back.
I saw him turn around and look at the fat girl standing behind him.
"Have you ever been in the mines? Do you want to come down with me? ”
"Is that okay? But I ...... This figure? ”
"Go down to the bottom, I'm afraid it won't work, but you can go down halfway."
"Good!"
So, Qin Zan took the millet and walked towards the mine.
To be honest, before going down the mine, Xiaomi thought that the conditions in the mining area could only be described as difficult.
But when she saw everything underneath the mine.
It's more than hard work.
It's too backward.
When they went down the mine, they were all manually lowered by lifting ropes.
Because the millet is too fat, it is only placed at half the distance.
Fortunately, there is a mine road next to it.
The two of them got in.
In the cramped space, you can still smell the smell of ore and earth.
"These are all miners digging up with a pickaxe and a pick?"
Seeing the imprints of the various tools on it, Xiaomi asked in disbelief.
"Well, our mountainous area is the hardest, and all the miners are hard."
In the mines of other places, Qin Zan has never been down.
But he served in other cities, as a soldier.
In 87, many cities in Xia have begun to invigorate the economy.
Ordinary people can even make money by doing small business.
In many developed cities, landline telephones, refrigerators, and color TVs have even been installed, and these household appliances already exist.
But in the southwestern border, Yun Province
Not at all.
The people here are still living a very backward life.
Not to mention electricity, not even candles, only kerosene lamps.
The novelties he got married were all mailed back from the army before.
So when he heard his mother say that the girl from whom he married had graduated from junior high school, he was particularly surprised.
Because of the people here, patriarchy is very serious.
Not to mention letting girls study, even boys, not everyone can read.
"This time, the miners have been digging for more than two months, day and night, so I hope to dig up the jadeite as well."
It's a pity that I didn't have that life.
Maybe it's because there's no one else in the mine, or maybe it's because of the narrow space that makes people want to release it even more.
In short, Qin Zan unprecedentedly said something that had been pressed in his heart for a long time with Xiaomi.
After saying that, I felt embarrassed again.
"I'm sorry to tell you this."
"It's okay."
Millet squatted in the mine, looked around, touched this, touched that.
Apparently, this is an abandoned mine.
Because of the visual inspection of the entire mine tunnel, there are no ore veins.
"You just said that our mountainous area is complicated?"
"Yes, there are a lot of different ores in the mountains, and last year, some people said that there would be jadeite in our mountainous area."
So a large number of people began to attack this mountainous area.
Dig mine mouth after mine mouth.
It's a pity that there are very few people who can dig up jadeite.
"The mine we're digging now is something that no one wants."
I don't want to, but if I keep digging, I might be able to dig something else.
At least the tedious upfront work is eliminated.
"It's okay, didn't you dig up agate? When I get the data, I make a budget. ”
Let's see how much we can dig up.
"Did your grandfather say that this kind of second-hand mine, what is the probability of producing ore?"
This is what Qin Zan wants to know the most.
Millet turned his face sideways and squinted slightly at each other.
Because it was dark in the tunnel, the two of them had headlamps on their heads.
But the light is a little dim, and at first glance, there is not much battery left.
However, he could clearly see the solemnity of the other party's face.
After a long time, he muttered back.
"I don't know about this, I need to see the specific situation to judge, and I can't talk nonsense."
In fact, before the large army mining, there should be professionals to prospect.
Detect the mountains for ores.
However, Xiaomi found that Qin Zan didn't seem to know anything about this.
Even, in the mines in the deep mountains and old forests of the southwest border, there are no such professionals at all.
It's all done by hand.
"Okay, but thank you today."
In such a chaotic scene just now, Yuan Xiaomi defended him in her way.
He was happy.
——
After coming up from the mine, the two returned home.
promised to accompany Yuan Mi back to Heze Village, Qin Zan naturally couldn't break his promise.
So I prepared my coat and brought some dry food and water.
And those herbs, the two of them went down the mountain.
As Qin Zan said, the weather is impermanent.
They had only been halfway through the road when it began to drizzle.
After the two put on their robes and straw hats, they continued on their way.
