Chapter 375: Build Bangjie Village Into a Tourist Destination
Hubei.
A family compound in Jingzhou.
At about 1:00 p.m., Lu Wei and Gu Caixiao returned home.
As soon as they entered the door, Gu Caixiao greeted them: "Dad, Mom, we are back!"
In fact, with their family's financial conditions, the couple can move out and there is no need to live with their parents.
However, some people are unwilling to live with their parents, but some people are willing to live with their parents, and Lu Wei and Gu Caixiao are undoubtedly the latter.
Seeing her daughter-in-law coming back, Lu's mother immediately greeted her with a smile and asked, "Xiaoxiao, have you eaten? If not, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
Gu Caixiao smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, we've already eaten."
Lu's father was drinking tea in the living room, and asked with a smile on his face, "Xiaoxiao, is your grandmother's hand healed?"
Gu Caixiao said, "It's almost healed. As long as you don't lift heavy objects, it's basically fine."
Lu Wei put away his luggage, called his wife over for tea, and then said to his parents with emotion, "Dad, Mom, this time I went to my sister-in-law's boyfriend's house, I was hit."
Lu's mother glanced at her son and asked, "What hit you?"
Lu Wei smiled bitterly and said, "I have a net worth of one million before I was 30 years old. I thought I was pretty good, but I never thought that my aunt The father of the son's boyfriend, a native of the countryside, earned at least several million in just a few years after the country's reform and opening up. It's really a blow. "
Father Lu was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "That's really amazing. What business does Weiwei's boyfriend's family do?"
Gu Caixiao continued, "I heard that they took the lead and opened two companies with the whole family, one is a passenger transport company and the other is a food company. The Master Kong instant noodles are a product launched by their food company. There is also a branch factory in my mother's home in Wuhan!"
Father Lu and Mother Lu couldn't help but look at each other. They ate Master Kong braised beef noodles a lot in their family. They didn't expect that this was a product launched by the food company of Weiwei's boyfriend's family. They could build a branch factory from Guangxi to Wuhan. The business is really big enough.
Lu Wei drank a sip of tea and continued with emotion: "Dad, Mom, you can never imagine how beautiful the house of my sister-in-law's boyfriend is. It's really like an ancient imperial palace.
The whole house is 3,000 square meters, and the decoration is all precious wood, and the various carvings and decorations are extremely exquisite. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful house in my life. It is really eye-opening."
After hearing her son's praise, Lu's mother also became curious and asked about the situation of her daughter-in-law, the future brother-in-law's family.
Then Lu Wei and Gu Caixiao talked about the details of this trip to Guangxi one by one.
It surprised Lu's father and mother. A Wuyue Square cost at least several million. The lower floors were used for their children to do business, and the top floor was used as a residence, and it was decorated as beautifully as an ancient imperial palace.
It seems that his future in-law is also an amazing person!
...
Bobai County
When the mooncake factory added canning equipment and prepared to make eight-treasure porridge, the whole county also launched a large-scale rat extermination campaign. A total of 210,000 kilograms of poison bait were released, and more than 5.1 million rats were exterminated, greatly reducing the rat problem.
The reproductive capacity of rats is really strong. If this thing is left unattended, once it becomes a disaster, it will be very troublesome, especially voles, which will feed on crops, grains and other agricultural products, posing a major threat to agricultural production.
When Deng Shirong returned to the village, he saw that the villagers were also exterminating rats. Not only rats, but also voles were exterminated in this way. He felt it was a pity.
Because the nutritional value of voles is very high, there is even a saying in some places: eating a vole is equivalent to three chickens.
Especially in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, whether it is summer or winter, all year round, people have various ways to eat voles, such as steaming rat meat in summer, or frying vole meat with other dishes, and another way to eat it is to grill it directly.
Here, I have to clarify that some people in the north mistakenly think that voles are mice, which is actually wrong.
Voles and mice are two different families and genera. Voles belong to the family of hamsters, while mice belong to the family of rodents.
The voles eaten by people in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian generally live in the fields and are the kind that specifically harm crops. However, many of the mice mentioned by people in other provinces live at home, or in sewers and garbage dumps. Not to mention eating such mice, it is disgusting to look at them, and few people can eat them.
No matter what it is, as long as someone eats it, there will naturally be a market.
In the mid-1990s in my previous life, many people in Shuangwang began to purchase voles, and the price was not low, which led to the sale of mouse cages at that time. Young people in various villages would buy a few mouse cages to release them back home. Catching voles was a pocket money.
At that time, the two younger sons, Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng, also participated in it, catching voles and selling them to earn some pocket money.
During that time, there were mouse cages everywhere in the fields of the village. They were put out in the evening and collected in the morning. At the beginning, everyone had a harvest, and the mouse cages were not empty.
Later, more and more people put out mouse cages, and fewer and fewer field mice were caught. Everyone's harvest gradually became less, and it was common for mouse cages to be empty.
Nowadays, no one buys field mice, so it is a bit of a waste to poison them with poison bait.
In the afternoon, when Deng Shirong was sitting at the door burning cigarettes, Deng Yungui came over.
After greeting each other, Deng Yungui said, "Uncle Jiu, the business of the tile factory is no longer profitable. I am too lazy to go out every month, so I plan to stop the business of the tile factory. What do you think?"
Deng Shirong lit the tobacco with a lighter, took a few puffs of the cigarette, and then said, "If you want to stop, stop. It's a waste of time to keep going. But this tile factory has been with me for so many years. I plan to contract it out and put it there. Whenever I feel itchy, I will go there to experience the feeling of making tiles in the past."
Deng Yungui laughed and said, "Only Uncle Jiu has the leisure to do this."
Deng Shirong said, "After all, I have been dealing with tiles for decades. I have to keep a memory when I get old. Even if the jars and tiles really fall into disuse and no one uses them, there is still a place to show the craftsmanship passed down by our ancestors to our grandchildren. "
Deng Yungui is only the boss of the jar and tile factory, not the master of the big jars, so naturally he does not have the same sentiment as Uncle Jiu. He affirmed Uncle Jiu's idea, and then said: "Uncle Jiu, after finishing this last kiln product, I will announce to the workers that the jar and tile factory is disbanded."
Deng Shirong stuffed tobacco into the mouth of the pipe and said: "Then announce it. Anyway, almost all the workers in the jar and tile factory are from the clan, and everyone is not short of money now."
Deng Yungui nodded and stopped talking about it. The current income of the jar and tile factory is not worth mentioning for the two of them.
...
A week later.
The jar and tile factory.
After Deng Changbiao (Deng Shirong's apprentice) finished making this batch of big jars, he picked up the hookah next to him, took out the lighter and tobacco from his pocket, and prepared to smoke a few cigarettes before going home.
Since the master and Uncle Yungui contracted out the jar factory, and he became one of the big jar masters, his family's living standards have changed dramatically, and he has become one of the people with the best economic conditions in the village.
Later, the master took the lead in establishing a passenger transport company. Out of trust in the master, he invested all his wealth in it and took up a lot of shares. Later, the passenger transport company's dividends naturally brought him rich returns.
In addition, when the food company was established, he also tried his best and invested a lot of money in it, and finally reaped sweet fruits.
The passenger transport company and the food company brought huge profits to Deng Changbiao. If ordinary people had such a large income, they would definitely not be a big jar master anymore. After all, big jar masters make real money, but they are also very hard.
However, Deng Changbiao still made his big jars in the jar factory.
The only change is that the number of big jars made is about one-third less than before, and he is not as desperate as before.
Just when Deng Changbiao was about to burn cigarettes, Deng Yungui came over.
Deng Changbiao greeted him, "Uncle Yungui."
Deng Yungui sat opposite him and said, "Abiao, our tile factory will be disbanded after we finish this batch of goods."
Hearing this, Deng Changbiao paused for a moment while stuffing his tobacco and asked, "Uncle Yungui, is the tile factory really unable to continue?" Recently, the tile factory's business has been bad, which is something everyone knows. They also know that if this continues, the tile factory will not be able to operate sooner or later, but they did not expect that this day to come so soon.
Deng Yungui said, "You know how the business of the tile factory is recently. It is indeed getting harder and harder. Anyway, I am too lazy to bother with it."
Deng Changbiao stuffed the tobacco into the mouthpiece and asked, "Uncle Yungui, does my master know about this?"
Deng Yungui said, "I have already talked about this with Uncle Jiu a few days ago. Uncle Jiu also wants to disband it, but he will contract the tile factory again and stop working. It's just a memory. After all, Uncle Jiu has been dealing with the tile factory for decades and has deep feelings for it."
Deng Changbiao lit the tobacco with a lighter, took a few puffs, and said after a while, "Then I can have a good rest after loading this last batch of goods into the kiln, and I don't have to work so hard every day."
That's what he said, but at this moment he actually felt a little empty in his heart.
He started as a small apprentice and then became a big vat master envied by everyone in the village. He has been here for fifteen years. How many fifteen years can there be in a lifetime? It is impossible to say that there is no emotion when working in one place for such a long time.
Deng Yungui understood his feelings, patted his shoulder and comforted him: "Although the vat factory is disbanded, it still exists. When you, the master, take over the contract, you can come and play whenever you feel like it.
Besides, you are not short of money now, so there is really no need to work so hard. Just relax and have some fun. If you want to do any business, go find your master and ask him to give you some advice. "
"I know, Uncle Yungui. You are really tired after working for so many years. Go back and have a good rest for a while. We can talk about business later!"
"Well, go back. Remember to come and help when you load the kiln."
"Okay." ”
……
After returning to the village, Deng Shirong would quietly place a few boulders on both sides of the newly dug river every night.
He did not place the boulders randomly, but used his spatial ability to move the boulders on both sides of the river in one direction, and then inserted new boulders in the middle, so that the tribesmen would not notice the changes in these boulders.
The main reason is that the boulders project is too large. Although the tribesmen work hard to move boulders from the stone mountain every day, so far, only about one-third of the boulders on both sides of the river have been filled. At this rate, it will take at least until next year to fill both sides of the river.
Deng Shirong did not want to waste so much manpower to fill, so he adopted this method to quietly speed up the progress of filling.
Now, the roadbed is 60 meters wide. The village roads have already been built with the base and cushion layers, and only the cement on the road surface needs to be hardened.
The construction of the villa complex is currently digging the foundation. After the foundation is fully dug, the brick foundation will be laid uniformly.
In Bobai, brick foundation laying is very particular when building a house. Masters are asked to calculate the auspicious date and invite relatives and friends to participate.
For the brick foundation laying of the villa complex, all the relatives and friends of the Naye Deng family will be invited. The scene is definitely bigger than the previous ancestral hall enthronement and ancestor worship.
After all, whether it is the ancestral hall enthronement or ancestor worship, only the elder sister and the clan members from all over the country are invited to come. How can the number of people be compared with the relatives and friends of the whole clan?
…
When the sixth month of the lunar calendar came to an end, the jar and tile factory officially announced its dissolution after selling the last batch of goods and settling the workers' wages.
This jar and tile factory, It was in May 1980 that Deng Shirong and Deng Yungui jointly contracted it. Now it is June 1989, a total of more than nine years.
In the past nine years, the tile factory has made great contributions and brought Deng Shirong and Deng Yungui an income of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan.
After the dissolution of the tile factory, Deng Shirong signed a contract with the village again, and the contract period is 40 years.
He is now building Bangjie Village according to his ideas. The villa complex is a major attraction, the village road is also a major attraction, the exquisite and luxurious ancestral hall is also a major attraction, and the Litchi Mountain of the tribesmen is also a very important attraction. More attractive attractions will be created in the future.
As for the tile factory, he plans to keep it until their village becomes a nationally renowned tourist destination in the future, then in front of tourists Showing the big vat technology can not only open the eyes of tourists, but also make this vat tile factory a scenic spot in the village, which is also very good.
Not only the vat tile factory, but also the bowl factory in the village. When he can't do it anymore, he also plans to contract it out.
These things are naturally not worth mentioning in this era, but in the future, it will be difficult to see such small rural factories all over the country. Preserving them can show these traditional arts to tourists, and even let tourists operate them.
In this way, it will definitely attract many tourists who are interested in this aspect.
The more attractions there are in the village, the stronger the competitiveness will naturally be.
If more people come to travel, it will not only benefit their Naye Deng family, but also the entire Bangjie Village and even the entire Shuangwang.
Think about the Bangjie Village in the previous life, it was a completely barren place. Those tribesmen who worked and lived in the city were often despised by their wives and children when they brought their wives and children back during the holidays. Even many tribesmen who grew up in the city were unwilling to return to their hometown if their grandfather or father did not urge them.
In this life, if Deng Shirong could make Bangjie Village and even several surrounding villages into tourist destinations, then not only would the tribesmen who worked and lived outside want to come back during the holidays, but tourists from all over the country would also be eager to come and play.
If there is such a day, it would be exciting just to think about it.
…
When the tile factory was disbanded, the village road also began to harden the cement road surface.
Because of the help of machines and the large number of tribesmen working, it only took five days to harden five-sixths of the road. The remaining one-sixth can only be done after the cement road surface is open to traffic.
This is indeed not as good as the asphalt in later generations. People just paved it and waited for the asphalt to cool down a little before it could be opened to traffic. The speed was very fast.
On both sides and in the middle of the village road, tree pits had been dug according to Deng Shirong's requirements. When the time was right, the ginkgo trees could be slowly transplanted.
In a blink of an eye, it was July 14th again. This festival is still very important to the Bobai people.
In Bobai, people offer sacrifices to Grandpa Zu on every festival. Unless they are really unable to spare the time, the tribesmen will try their best to come back for the festival.
Deng Shirong is in his hometown, so his sons, daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law naturally rush back to celebrate the festival.
Killing ducks on July 14th for the festival is a long-standing custom of the Bobai people. However, in the past, people's conditions were not very good, and many families were reluctant to kill ducks. Instead, they made more economical gai zong. Gradually, eating gai zong on July 14th became a custom.
Nowadays, no family in Naye Village is short of money, so naturally every household kills ducks for the festival. Some families do not mind the trouble and also steam gai zong to eat.
Deng Shirong was too lazy to make gai zong this year. After killing a local duck, he put the whole duck in the pot to cook.
According to the local customs, you must not use raw meat to offer to the grandfather. You must cook it at home, put a pinch of salt on the duck (others such as chicken or pork), put six bowls of rice in a small bowl, prepare chopsticks, and prepare tea and wine.
Finally, take the gold and silver incense paper and you can offer it to the grandfather.
Because Deng Shirong killed a local duck that had been raised for a long time, it took a little longer to cook it, otherwise it would be hard to bite when it was cooked.
While Deng Shirong was busy in the kitchen, Deng Yuntai boasted to his brothers and sisters under the longan tree: "I stayed in Liuzhou for such a long time this time. Do you know what impressed me most about Liuzhou?"
Deng Yunzhu blinked and joked: "Brother, are the girls in Liuzhou beautiful?"
Deng Yuntai glared at her and quickly said to his wife: "Pingmei, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. You know who I am."
Zhang Xiuping smiled, her husband She knew who he was, and couldn't help but ask with a smile: "What impressed you most about Liuzhou?"
Deng Yuntai said with a sigh: "It was a bowl of noodles, called snail noodles. The taste of this noodles is really amazing. The more I eat, the more addicted I am. I have been in Liuzhou for such a long time, and I have to eat a bowl of snail noodles almost every day."
In this era, snail noodles were not as famous as they are in later generations. In Liuzhou, the birthplace, it has only been popular for a few years. Snail noodles are not available in other cities.
Zhang Xiuping was surprised and asked, "Snail noodles? Why is the name of this noodle so strange?"
Deng Yuntai smiled and said, "This snail is the field snail here. In Liuzhou, field snails are called snails, so this snail noodle got its name."
Deng Yunzhu asked in confusion, "Brother, how delicious can the noodles cooked with field snails be?"
Deng Yuntai smiled and said, "I don't know the specific method, but field snails are just a condiment in the soup of snail noodles. I don't know how to describe the taste of this snail noodle to you. Anyway, this should be the most special noodle I have ever eaten."
Deng Yunhua asked, " Big brother, how does it compare to Nanning's Laoyoufen? "
"Each has its own merits."
Deng Yuntai thought for a moment and added: "However, compared to Laoyoufen, this snail noodle tastes more unique. In addition to rice noodles, there are also sour bamboo shoots, shredded fungus, peanuts, fried bean curd, day lily and other side dishes. It is really very enjoyable to eat."
Deng Yunzhu couldn't help swallowing her saliva and said depressedly: "Before I went to Nanning, my second and third brothers praised Laoyoufen and made us very greedy. Now that Laoyoufen is available, you are praising this snail noodle again. The key is that we can't eat it. It's really... Damn it!"
Zhang Xiuping echoed: "That's right, knowing that we can't eat it, but still bragging about it, it's so annoying!"
Deng Yuntai laughed: "It's not far from Nanning to Liuzhou, and we have a supermarket there, so it's not easy to go there, right?"
Deng Shirong just came out and said: "Who wants to go to Liuzhou?"
Deng Yunzhu laughed: "Dad, my brother is bragging to us about how delicious the snail noodles are. Let's go to Liuzhou when the time is right. Anyway, I have experience in running a hot pot restaurant, and it's time to open a branch."
Deng Shirong said: "Snail noodles are indeed unique, this should be This is the most distinctive rice noodle in Guangxi. Its taste is polarized. People who like it like it very much, and people who don't like it can't stand the smell. "
Deng Yunzhu was surprised and said, "Dad, have you eaten this snail noodle?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course I have. There is no rice noodle in Guangxi that I haven't eaten."
Speaking of this snail noodle, when Deng Shirong founded the food company, he had thought about promoting it nationwide, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up. Later, snail noodles were able to sweep the country and go to the world, mainly due to the spread of short videos and the convenience of online ordering.
Now it is obviously not possible to have such conditions. Let's not talk about the difficulty of mass production of snail noodles. Just talking about how to make people accept this snail noodle is a big problem.
There are so many products to make, there is no need to choose this snail noodle.
