Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 234
The old farm director was no ordinary person. When Wang Tianxiao asked him such a simple question, he immediately understood what Li Muyang did.

After a slight hesitation, he smiled and said: "Yes, some were sold, and there is still some left. Why, why do you ask?"

"Oh... Shepherd, come and talk to our director Dai."

Wang Tianxiao looked at Li Muyang.

Li Muyang was not polite. He took the conversation and said respectfully: "Director Dai, my name is Li Muyang. I am from the nearby Lijia Village."

"Oh, hello, hello, Xiao Li~"

Director Dai smiled and greeted Li Muyang back, taking the opportunity to look at Li Muyang again. He should be quite satisfied.

"It's like this, Director Dai. Due to historical reasons, our village has not received electricity for a long time. Now the village is still dark. This is not a good policy recently. There is a project to bring electricity into the village. Our village also took the opportunity to implement the project." Household matters..."

"Are there any villages that don't have electricity now? I've never heard of that. I remember that electricity began to be provided around here three years ago. Your village is lagging behind."

"Isn't that right? Anyway, the villages near us have already received electricity. Our village is close to Taoshan and requires too many public parts. The burden is heavy and the sharing is too much, so we haven't brought it in for a while."

“Oh, over at Taoshan, that’s indeed possible.

To pull power, high-voltage power needs to be delivered first before it can be distributed to households. Since you are far from the town, the power distribution station will definitely cost more.

If people don’t have money, or are unaware of the benefits and importance of using electricity, and don’t have sufficient funds, they will definitely not be able to deliver electricity. "

Director Dai obviously understands this matter at the grassroots level.

When Li Muyang talked to him, he was naturally crossing the river by feeling for the stones.

See Tricks and Tricks.

The purpose is very simple, and it is still the eternal truth. While using the sympathy of Field Director Dai to cry for poverty, he also explains the necessity of pulling electricity.

Finally got the cheapest wood.

Maybe one or two yuan more is within the acceptable range for Field Manager Dai or the station, but he can make more money from it.

Business isn't something you can just dig out bit by bit.

"What Director Dai said is that now the people in our village understand it, and the village and the power distribution station have a cooperative relationship. The power distribution station at the head of our village has been built, and we are just waiting to deliver power to our homes..."

"But you have enough telephone poles, don't you?"

"Yes," Li Muyang shook his head in embarrassment, "Actually, since we are in a rural area and close to the mountains, it stands to reason that there is a lot of wood. But the problem is that the wood of telephone poles is different from ordinary wood. You can find it casually. Come over with a piece of wood, it won't be used at all.

There is no way to use it.

We need relatively straight and strong wood such as pine and cypress.

But pines and cypresses are rarely seen in rural areas. What ordinary people plant are basically various fruit trees or poplar trees.

It is difficult to see pines and cypresses.

We were worried, but it suddenly occurred to us that Brother Wang had accidentally mentioned before that there were some pines and cypresses waiting to be sold at your site, so I asked him to take me over to visit and see if the wood could be given to us if it was still there. "

"Is that so? Didn't you consider using cement for the telephone poles there?"

"It's hard to say. There are some problems with our terrain. It's difficult to transport cement. Also, the cost of cement is high and the people can't afford it."

Telephone poles from the 80s were actually made of cement in some places.

But this depends on the place.

Even today, there are still wooden telephone poles.

But now the prices of wooden telephone poles and cement are actually about the same, it just depends on their respective needs.

In terms of durability, cement telephone poles can be used for more than 50 years. However, no matter how well treated wooden telephone poles are, they will decay in about 20 years at most.

Therefore, wooden telephone poles are generally only used for branch lines and can be replaced at any time.

The main lines and high-voltage lines are basically steel towers or cement.

In the 80s, there was a lot of wood and the price was relatively cheap. Cement was an industrial product, and the industry was not developed at this time, so the price of cement was relatively expensive.

It would be difficult for wealthy villages or collective organizations to afford it.

"So that's how it is..."

Director Dai thought for a while and nodded, "That's okay. The wood is going to be sold anyway. Since you want to use it, I'll give it to you."

Li Muyang listened to what Director Dai said and was not in a hurry to talk. He wanted to hear Director Dai talk about the price issue, but Director Dai stopped talking and did not continue the topic.

It was difficult for Wang Tianxiao to say anything next to him, so he had no choice but to continue talking.

"Thank you, Director Dai, for supporting us, but I don't know the price here..."

Li Muyang paused slightly and smiled awkwardly, "Our village is a poor village, and the people don't have much money. Why didn't we bring in electricity in advance?

Just like that, this time around, some people still didn't use it because they couldn't afford it and said there were too many public stalls.

Although I am embarrassed, I still hope that Director Dai will give us a preferential price as much as possible, even if it is to support the construction of the homes of nearby folks. "

Director Dai laughed when he heard this, "Looking at your honest face as a young man, what you said is quite interesting. Doesn't it mean that if I don't give you an advantage, then I won't support your rural construction?"

"Of course not, that's not what I meant." Li Muyang hurriedly explained.

"Haha, it's okay. I know you didn't mean it this way, but you have Xiao Jiujiu in your mind, right?"

"This……"

Li Muyang scratched his head and did not elaborate.

When someone calls someone's name, no matter how accurate the guess is, you should just admit it.

This is not the time for arguments.

"How many do you want?"

"We need about 400 poles. We need telephone poles with a length of 6 meters and a diameter of more than 12 centimeters... Oh, of course we don't need very thick ones. We can't afford them."

"Oh, 12 centimeters, that's okay. Don't worry about the height. There are not many pines and cypresses here below 6 meters, and they are basically above ten meters."

"Oh, if it's more than ten meters long, we can cut one into two."

"Well, let me think about it."

Mr. Dai closed his eyes, probably calculating the price in his mind.

Li Muyang gently poked Wang Tianxiao.

He guessed that Director Dai was in a state of harmony between heaven and man at this time.

The price of these pieces of wood had some idea. After all, this was not the first time they were sold.

But since Li Muyang used support for rural construction as an excuse and complained about poverty, Director Dai had to think more.

Wang Tianxiao said before that Director Dai was also a child from the countryside. He also went to the countryside for a few years. He had a deep understanding of the poverty of farmers and sympathized with it.

Maybe based on this consideration, it will be appropriately reduced.

If Wang Tianxiao could be allowed to light up the fire a little more at this time, it would probably be more effective.

"Old director, the situation in Lijia Village is indeed not very good. The main problem is that the Taoshan they are close to cannot rely on the mountain.

You may have never been there and don’t know the specifics.

Our hometown is close to our station in Yangziling. Not only are there various medicinal materials that can be dug up in exchange for money, but there are also a lot of wild animals that can be hunted, not to mention wood.

But Taoshan near Lijia Village is a mission forest constructed to prevent water and soil erosion. Peach trees are just peach trees because they cannot bear fruit due to various factors such as water and soil.

Therefore, this village basically cannot obtain any means of livelihood from the mountains, and life is generally poor.

Muyang is right. If the money spent on powering out electricity this time is too much, many people may choose to power on. ,
Look, in this day and age, there are still people living in darkness because they have no money. Isn’t it uncomfortable?

It's okay for adults, but what's even more uncomfortable is that many children have to study under kerosene lamps every night, and their eyesight is damaged. You said that for such older children, their eyesight is bad, what should they do next? "Wang Tianxiao understands Field Manager Dai's weaknesses better than Li Muyang.

Sure enough, as soon as the child was mentioned, Director Dai's eyes immediately opened.

"Let's do this. If you want 400 sticks, just give them for 5 yuan each. Before, we gave them to others for 8 yuan each."

5 block...

Li Muyang was secretly happy.

Liu Gong wanted 15 yuan, but now he only needs 5 yuan to get it. One stick earns 10 yuan, and 400 sticks equals 4000 yuan.

In addition to transportation and labor costs, you can earn at least more than 3000.

It's a lot of income.

"Thank you very much, director."

Li Muyang stood up and was able to get the telephone poles at a very cheap price. He could make money himself and the villagers would share less. Both publicly and privately, he should be grateful to Director Dai.

"Haha, no need to thank me. It just so happens that some wood is not for sale. It will rot if left for a long time. We are helping each other~"

Director Dai laughed.

This is purely polite.

Everyone knows that although wood will break down and is indeed not easy to sell, the price is high.

If it's only 5 yuan a piece, it will definitely be easy.

Wang Tianxiao also knew that Director Dai was giving him face, so he expressed his gratitude again.

The three of them chatted casually for a while, and it was already afternoon.

Director Dai left the two of them to eat.

But Li Muyang wanted to check the wood early. If there were no problems, he would go back to talk to Liu Gong about the subsequent transportation.

There can be no delay.

Director Dai couldn't resist them, so he asked someone to take him over to look at the wood.

It's basically correct as imagined.

The minimum limit for wood such as pine and cypress is very high. As long as it is mature, there are basically not many defective products.

At a glance, there is no problem in selecting four hundred suitable items from Mumu Mountain.

After taking a good look, the two of them prepared to go back down the mountain.

But on the way down the mountain, they met Dai Yuanyuan again and insisted on letting them rest for a night.

Finally, Li Muyang left Wang Tianxiao on the mountain and went home.

He said that he would contact the truck that would pull the wood tomorrow and then we could go back together.

Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to think that there happened to be some friends here and he hadn't seen them for a long time, so he decided to stay one night.
.
When Li Muyang went back, it was downhill and very fast.

It’s more than 100 miles and it took less than four hours to ride.

When he got home, it was exactly 5 o'clock in the afternoon. He endured the pain in his back and ran to the power distribution station to find Liu Gong, but found that the person at the power distribution station had already returned.

I have no choice but to come back to rest and discuss it again tomorrow.

Had a very sweet night's sleep.

When I woke up early in the morning, my whole body was still sore. When I went out to wash my face, I saw Yuanyuan wandering in the vegetable field at the door.

After washing up, he went over to chat with her.

Yuanyuan's mood is much better than before, and she can now talk with a smile.

"Fifth brother, were you exhausted yesterday?"

"Ah, what do you say?"

"You snored all night. We could hear you snoring so clearly in our room that we could almost lift the roof~"

Li Muyang was embarrassed for a while, "Really?"

"If you don't believe me, ask my seventh sister, hehe~"

Li Muyang smiled and said, "That's it. I was really tired after running all day yesterday. What were you doing in the vegetable field so early in the morning? There was so much dew that your clothes and shoes were wet."

"I want to find fresh tomatoes to eat. I found that the tomatoes at home taste really good, especially the freshly picked ones. They are much more delicious than the ones bought at high prices in the city."

"This is normal. Considering transportation, tomatoes in the city should be picked when they are a little green. If you pick them late, the tomatoes will rot easily.

So the one you eat is not reddish by the sun, but reddish, and it definitely lacks a lot of flavor. "

"Yeah, I know~ Even the peppers and radishes at home are delicious..."

Yuanyuan said, bending down and pulling out a white radish from the ground.

Twist off the leaves, rub the mud on the radish, and start peeling it with your teeth.

This kind of white radish is actually called water radish. It has a shorter planting period than ordinary white radish and grows faster. However, the flesh is not as strong as ordinary white radish, and it does not taste very spicy and has a crisp and sweet taste.

It is mainly used for eating cold.

Yuanyuan’s habit of peeling with pressure is a method that many children like.

Anyway, they are not afraid of mud getting into their stomachs.

Often after eating the radish, my mouth is full of mud.

Rural people don't pay much attention to this situation. As long as they can eat raw food, they basically eat it directly.

Vegetables from the ground and fruits from the trees.

"click~"

Yuanyuan broke open the radish, divided it into two parts, and handed half to Li Muyang.

Li Muyang took it and took a bite. It tasted really good.

It is much more delicious than any fruit radish in later generations.

It is said that the same soil and water means the same taste. Many things, the same seeds and the same planting method, but because of the different water and soil, the taste will be completely different.

Yuanyuan had a radish in her mouth and her eyes were still searching around when she saw a small pumpkin-like tomato. Before Li Muyang could say anything, she picked it off and held it in her hand.

"How can I finish eating such a big tomato?"

She looked troubled.

Li Muyang was even more troubled.

The little girl's hand was so fast that he didn't have time to stop her.

This is the tomato king that Qinqin specially left to make seeds. She usually tells everyone not to eat it and not to move it. Even if the dog runs over there, she will teach her a lesson.

This was great, Yuanyuan killed him directly.

It will definitely piss off Qinqin.

Imagining the next contest between the two sisters, Li Muyang felt it was a bit difficult to face it, so he called Li Muyun to get up and go to the Taoyuan.

Because there are more people now, and the original house cannot accommodate people, Li Muyun lives in a newly built house. It is empty except for the kang, and a mat is spread on the kang. The weather has not completely cooled down, and Li Muyun is angry again. Prosperous, not afraid of cold.
