Chapter 201 200 Fishing Village

The wood needed by the escort department happened to be the specification with the largest backlog in the forest farm. It was also the first time that Tang Wenbang spoke up. Both leaders showed a tacit attitude of approval, so they acquiesced in the escort department's freight charges and the wood storage yard's assistance in transshipment.

What does that mean? The wood needed by the escort department is settled at the ex-factory price in the logging area, and the lumber yard assists in transshipment (freight charges are charged). The price is much lower than the price settled from the lumber yard.

Of course, the decisive factor here is Tang Wenbang's face.

Giving stones to the little squirrel inspired Tang Zhitong. After writing the draft of the telegram, Tang Zhitong lay on the stern of the boat, stretched his hand into the river, and felt the limit of the space he could fit into.

It's about 60 meters high, about as high as a 17-story building, which is quite incredible.

The river used for water transportation in the lumber yard is called Laogugou. The river surface is quite wide, but the water depth is average, and the fish in the river are not big. Tang Zhitong gave up after harvesting for a while, and it was quite tiring to lie down.

Water transportation does not lead directly to the train station. Instead, the ship is unloaded at the river close to the railway. There is a branch of the lumber yard here. The logs are unloaded here and then transported to the train station by railway, and then transported to other cities.

If the local unit needs it, if the quantity is small, it will be transported directly by land. If the quantity is large, animal-drawn trucks will be needed to transport it from the branch factory, which is not very convenient anyway.

The place where the ship was unloaded was still some distance away from the Yalu River. After Tang Zhitong got off the ship, he found someone to pull the bicycle out of the space and went to the post office to send a telegram.

On the day Tang Zhitong set off from Sijiucheng, he put his bicycle into the space in the corner outside Yongding Gate. He carried the package to his work unit and lied that he came by bus.

In this day and age, especially outside the 49 cities, it is almost impossible to move without a bicycle.

Tang Zhitong first pedaled to the post office to send a telegram.

The settlement price that Tang Zhitong reflected in the telegram included shipping costs, and the extra cash that Fangyuan brought was for additional gratitude.

The telegram Tang Zhitong sent to Fangyuan had a lot of words, and letters and telegrams were more cost-effective. He hoped that Fangyuan could find a reliable person to read the newspaper. There were many words that were difficult to express clearly in the telegram, and he also hoped that Fangyuan could understand the more implicit meaning behind his words.

After sending the telegram, Tang Zhitong got on his bicycle and walked straight east to the Yalu River, planning to go there and see if there was any chance of catching some fish.

As for telling Tang Wenbang to meet up with his colleagues, that was pure lies.

This time, Zhang Jinbo and Kong Yiqin, a total of three people who came to Anton from Sijiu City, had already gone back. At this moment, only Tang Zhitong was left in Anton in the entire escort department.

At this time, the Yalu River had abundant water, with a width of three to four hundred meters and an average depth of 25 meters.

There are many fish in the river, many of which will be on the verge of extinction in a few decades.

Tang Zhitong squatted by the river and collected some. Overall, he was relatively restrained.

Although the fish in the river are ownerless, this place will be the "breadbasket" for the residents along the river for the next three years. Tang Zhitong is unwilling to fish for fish that are out of stock from the bottom of his heart.

Standing by the river, Tang Zhitong looked at the small fishing boats in the river. Many of them drifted across the middle line of the Yalu River, but no one on the other side came to stop them.

Standing on the riverside, Tang Zhitong could also see the villages on the other side of the river. Perhaps due to post-war reconstruction, the rural buildings on the other side were better than here.

Tang Zhitong sat on a stone by the river and had a simple lunch, and then rode south along the river. More than 20 kilometers south was the sea... Perhaps it was due to "draining by water" that Tang Zhitong I didn’t see anyone fleeing along the way. Judging from their faces, the standard of living here is much better than inland.

Continuing to walk south, Tang Zhitong saw the salt field. He knew that he had arrived at his destination. The fish in the river was not convenient for fishing, but it was different in the sea. There were abundant fish in the sea this year. With his 60-meter control distance, he caught You won’t be homeless even in twenty years, let alone if you only stay here for a few days?

Because the address is located in the east or north, the dark sky here is earlier than that in Sijiu City. As the sun sets, Tang Zhitong came to a small fishing village.

"Auntie, I want to ask you something, where is the team headquarters in our village?" Tang Zhitong stopped his bicycle and asked an old lady with little feet at the entrance of the village carrying a vegetable basket.

The old lady looked Tang Zhitong up and down and saw that he didn't look like a bad guy. Without asking any more questions, she stretched out her hand to point Tang Zhitong in the direction: "The bump in front is the one with the biggest door."

"Thank you." Tang Zhitong thanked the old lady, then got on his bicycle and walked forward. The dirt roads in the countryside were difficult to walk and were bumpy.

Tang Zhitong followed the direction indicated by the old lady and rode not far before arriving at the village headquarters. It was actually very easy to recognize. Not only was the gate the largest, but the red flag was flying in the entire village.

Tang Zhitong pushed his bicycle through the door, parked the car, and walked into the office gracefully.

"Who are you looking for?" There was only a young man in the office, about the same age as Tang Zhitong. He was packing his things and looked like he was about to get off work.

"Hello, I'm looking for the team leader." He used to be called the village chief, but now they have become communes. Many villages have changed their name to teams, and their titles have changed accordingly. Tang Zhitong politely handed the young man a cigarette.

"You sit down and wait for a while, I'll call someone." The young man saw that Tang Zhitong was dressed with a guy on his back, but he didn't have enough confidence. He took the cigarette and clamped it to his ear, locking the important information on the table. Go into the drawer and out the door.

Tang Zhitong was very conscious, took a stool and followed him out, closed the door in front of his face, sat at the door and smoked, waiting for someone to come.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the roofs of the small fishing village, coating the roofs with a layer of golden color. Tang Zhitong just observed the farmhouses. The slope of the roofs was a little steeper than that of the houses in Sijiu City. The roofs were not tiles or It is not straw, but seaweed, and it is thick and has the characteristics of a fishing village.

After a while, a middle-aged man holding a cigarette entered the village gate with a young man carrying a Mosin Nagant on his back.

"You are the captain, right? My name is Tang Zhitong, and I am the escort of Sijiu City. This is my ID." Tang Zhitong stood up and handed over the documents he had prepared, including a work permit, a second-class merit certificate, and a second-class chef. Skills certificate and a sample issue of an article published by Teacher Wang in the name of Tang Zhitong last year in a second-rate newspaper.

The captain took it without looking at it and handed it directly to the young man behind him. He seemed to be similar to Fangyuan and also a person with limited literacy.

As soon as the young man came in, he stared at the five or six men behind Tang Zhitong. He took the certificates and checked them one by one. Especially after seeing Tang Zhitong's second-class merit certificate, his eyes became even more intense: "Captain, there is nothing wrong with Comrade Tang's certificate."

After saying that, he saluted Tang Zhitong directly.

The effect of the medicine was a bit strong, and this gift almost disrupted Tang Zhitong's rhythm. Fortunately, Tang Zhitong was thick-skinned and gave him a gift in return. Although he felt guilty, he could not show any timidity on his face.

　Sorry for the late update.

　　There have been a lot of personal matters recently, and the update time has been unstable. I really can't bear it this time. I will take a day off tomorrow to deal with the matter and try to get the update time before resuming next week.
