Start as a farmer from an ordinary world

Chapter 106 Earth Keel Bone

In the construction of earth-rock dams, in addition to preventing the dam body from being directly washed away by floods, it is also very important to prevent water seepage.In particular, the second team of Guanzi Village has to take into account the function of fish farming, which requires higher requirements.

According to Xie Gong's design, the best reverse osmosis layer material they can find so far is red clay.This kind of soil has particularly strong adhesion and good waterproof performance, so it is the material for making pots and pots.

In other villages, red clay is also used when building water cellars to prevent leakage.

The origin of the name of Guanzi Village is that there used to be a small kiln factory in the village that produced pots and pots.In the hills to the west, there are still many layers of red clay.

After receiving the order, Wang Yanqiang immediately gathered all the members of the blasting team and drove the donkey cart towards Xishanmao.

The red clay layer is located in a cliff ditch called Yangwei. The road is high and low, and the donkey cart can't go down at all.Therefore, after they dug the cement, they could only rely on manpower to carry it.

Yangwei Cliff Ditch is a long and narrow earth-rock ditch. In addition to the red clay, there are still many severely weathered stones on the cliff.

After Wang Qingming got down to the bottom of the ditch, he scratched at random on the ground, picked up a piece of clay, put it in his mouth, and began to gnaw it.

Wang Manyin was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Uncle Qingming, are you crazy, why are you eating red clay!"

Not only him, Wang Junxiang and other young people were also a little surprised.

On the contrary, Wang Yanqiang said very calmly: "Man Yin, don't worry, red clay is edible...but you can't eat too much of this thing, otherwise your stomach will swell and you won't be able to poop."

Seeing the other party's calm expression, Wang Manyin's heart was full of waves.

At this time, Wang Qingming took over the conversation: "The best red clay tastes soft and doesn't rub your teeth. This kind of clay is the best waterproof. Let's dig here."

Seeing that the other party really swallowed the red clay, Wang Manyin couldn't keep calm anymore.

When he traveled to this world at first, he just wanted to hide and hide, ignore the outside world, and live a good life at home.

Now Wang Manyin has completely integrated into this society, and his thoughts are constantly changing.The last time I stood up for Wang Qiusheng, I just felt that I couldn't keep going.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.

For him, these words are a bit too exaggerated, and it is not appropriate to use them on himself.

But within his ability, he can still make life better for the people around him.At least, it's not in vain for me to walk in this world.

Blindly fearing wolves and tigers is indeed despised.

When Wang Qingming confirmed the location, the crowd immediately picked up their picks and rakes and started digging along the cliff.

As the main force, Wang Manyin naturally had to perform.

"Bah, pah!"

He took off his padded jacket, spat on the palm of his hand, and then swung the rake with all his strength.

Crash...a large piece of the cliff collapsed directly.

"The strength of this coward makes people greedy!" Wang Yanqiang praised repeatedly.

Now he looks more and more at Wang Manyin, and feels that among the whole group of young people in the village, he is the only one.

Dare to rush and do things when encountering things, and be willing to work hard.

The key is brains... The last time he went to the commune for a meeting, he heard the militia captain in Shuangshui village complain that Tian Futang had gone to the supply and marketing cooperative several times, but he didn't even come down to a consignment point.

Wang Yanqiang didn't know whether it was related to Wang Manyin, but in any case, he could see that the other party was not simple.

Of course, he wouldn't talk nonsense in the village about such a shadowless thing.

clap la la...

Wang Manyin swung the rake very fast, and in just ten minutes or so, a large pile fell in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, each of them carried a pole and climbed up the mountain with difficulty.

In a short distance of two or three hundred, everyone was panting and sweating, even Wang Manyin was no exception.

He was stronger than the others, and he carried more red clay.

No way, doing farm work has never been easy.

"Sweat drips down to the soil...every grain is hard work" is not just talking.

The two carts of red clay were full, and they rushed back without stopping.After unloading the car, I went to Yangweigou to pull the second car.

Several people were busy when they suddenly heard shouts from the edge of the cliff.Turning his head, he saw Wang Lianshun, Wang Fuchang, Wang Fugui and others appearing not far away.

"What's the matter, what's the matter, Brother Lian Shun, what happened to the construction site?" Wang Yanqiang asked urgently.

It seems that the situation of people is definitely not a small matter.

"It's indeed a big thing, but it's also a good thing, about you." Wang Fugui responded from afar.

After hearing this, the monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

"Did you dig this thing out just now?" When he got closer, Wang Lianshun took out a palm-sized thing to show.

It is off-white and looks like a stone.

"How do you know this? Where did you pick up a stone from?" Wang Manyin looked at it twice, and became even more confused.

At first glance, this thing looks like a severely weathered ginger stone. It doesn't feel like anything special, and no one will pick it up when it is thrown on the side of the road.

"What eyes do you have, you don't understand anything, take a look Qingming." Wang Lianshun said contemptuously, and then handed the stone to Wang Qingming.

After the chain mouth took a look, he exclaimed in surprise: "Earth keel? There are earth keel here!?"

Wang Yanqiang was equally excited, grabbed the stone in a hurry, and stroked it on his arm.He followed up and said: "It's really earth keel, there are earth keel in this place, aren't we going to send it out?!"

Hearing what they said, Wang Manyin obtained information about the earth keel from the memory of his predecessor.

This is a miraculous medicinal material produced in the soil of the Loess Plateau, which has a very good hemostatic effect.

After someone has a red wound, just scrape some earth keel powder and sprinkle it on the wound, and the bleeding will stop quickly.And in just two or three days, the wound healed completely, and the effect was comparable to the legendary Yunnan Baiyao.

Impressively, there are still many people in the village who keep this kind of thing.

However, Wang Manyin is rarely seen. If Wang Qingming hadn't pointed it out, he wouldn't be able to recognize him even if he did meet him.

"Yes, think about it carefully, where did you dig the earth keel? If we really dig an earth keel vein, we will definitely make a fortune. Man Yin, I remember how much the supply and marketing agency bought the earth keel for? "Wang Fugui turned his head and asked.

"It's like eight cents to fifteen cents!" Wang Manyin replied uncertainly.

He didn't know that there were earth dragon bone veins around Guanzi Village before, so he naturally didn't know about it in detail.It is still unclear what kind of mineral this thing belongs to.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's dig together. Try to dig more earth keels, earn more money, and see if we can make up for the shortfall in grain reserves." Wang Lianshun directly issued an order.

"Uncle Lian Shun, have you moved the food reserves of the second team?" Wang Junxiang asked in surprise when he heard this.

Wang Manyin next to him was also surprised.He finally understands why these days, the laborers on the construction site have had enough of doing nothing.

The grain reserves must not be balanced and must not be used... This is a big mistake.

Having said that, Wang Lianshun had no choice but to take it back.

He simply opened the skylight and said bluntly: "That's right, I couldn't find food for the earth dam construction during this period, so I secretly moved the food reserves of the second team. I originally wanted to wait for the wheat harvest to make up for it, but now I can't care about so much."

"Junxiang, this is the end of this story, you guys don't spread it to the outside world." Wang Yanqiang suddenly emphasized.To be obedient, he should have known the inside story a long time ago.

I have to say that the few people did a good job of keeping secrets.At least so far, Director Zhao probably didn't know about it, otherwise the world would have turned upside down.

"I know (know)," several young people nodded one after another.

Wang Lianshun changed the subject and said, "Everyone, take a closer look to see if there are any earth keels in the red clay just dug."

Hearing this, everyone took a rake and smashed up the large piece of red clay.One by one, their eyes widened, as if looking for a gold mine.

Soon, Wang Manyin found a gray-white stone, about the size of a palm.

He hurriedly called: "You all have a look, is it this thing?"

Hearing this, everyone ran over one after another.

"Yes, that's right, it's the earth keel. The ore veins must be extending here. Let's continue digging in this direction..." Wang Lianshun swung his pick as he spoke.

Seeing that the other party was in a hurry to work, Wang Manyin pushed him away directly: "Uncle Lian Shun, let me do it."

He swung the rake with all his strength again, and two times in succession, a piece of gravel as big as a pot cover rolled to the ground.

After the clod was opened, another piece of earth keel was found.

"That's right, it must be here."

This discovery made everyone even more excited.

Wang Lianshun directly issued an order: "Fugui, don't stay here, go back to the construction site immediately. Get a few more curved shovels, I guess we will dig a mine hole later. The construction site has stopped, so call all the laborers. Tell Shou Chang , send the meal directly to Yangweigou at noon."

"Uncle Lian Shun, don't you need to make such a big fuss? We can find a few people to dig slowly for the earth keel, and the construction site should not stop."

Wang Manyin felt that the other party was purely picking up a sesame seed and throwing a watermelon, and he didn't know which was more important.The check dam is related to the food production of the second team, and the earth keel is incomparable no matter how valuable it is.

"You know what, this place is not the boundary of our village. Once the news of the discovery of the earthen keel spreads, it will definitely attract other people to dig. If we move slowly, we will miss a lot of money. We must start first. Strong. Arrange a few more people to guard here tonight, and everyone will give full work points!"

Seeing Wang Lianshun's high-spirited look, Wang Manyin didn't want to say anything, but continued to work with the rake.

Soon, more and more earth keels were discovered.The shapes have gradually become weird, some are like weathered stones, and they fall into powder when touched; some are irregular cuboids with obvious fiber texture on the surface; there is even a broken leg bone that looks like an animal.

Wang Manyin felt more and more strange, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle Lian Shun, what do you think the earth keel is?"

"What you're asking is stupid, of course it's the bones of the earth dragon." Wang Lianshun explained, then picked another piece out of the soil.

He excitedly said: "It has earth dragon teeth on it, so the price should be higher."

"Teeth, this is a paleontological fossil!" Wang Manyin finally understood what the so-called earth keel was after looking at it carefully.

No wonder it's so familiar... Oracle!

That's right, the famous oracle bone inscriptions were originally discovered from the earth keel.
