Chapter 220 The Third Carpenter Is Not a Legacy
"The next step is to make a fire. After the people who are invited arrive at the construction site, they first pick up some branches and so on, and start a big fire. This has two meanings. One is lighting, because the foundation of the house is usually laid after the handover. , when the yang qi first grows, it is still dark at this time, and lighting is needed, on the other hand, it proves that the house will be prosperous in the future."

"The next step is to break the ground. The first hoe will be dug by the highly respected people, and then everyone will follow."

Zhu Chaoan had been listening with great interest, and then interjected: "I understand this in seconds, please ask the secretary and county magistrate to dig a shovel at the foundation laying ceremony. My father often does this, and I have learned everything from it. It is a wooden building, and I invited the fourth grandfather to open the first shovel."

Uncle A Chong said: "In the old days, in some places, a big buffalo was used to break the ground. A red silk cloth was wrapped around the horns of the buffalo, and a plow was pulled on the frame. It was believed that all living beings would be auspicious, that the five grains would be plentiful, and that generations would prosper. When plowing, The master wants to set off firecrackers as a sacrifice to the heaven and the earth. There is a song for the plowers to sing while plowing in the "Book of Luban": "Hold the sacred ox into the house, and congratulate the Lord to erect the beams in the east. Hold the sacred ox to plow eastward, and the east will shine red." In the hall; hold the plow of the god ox to the south, and the Antarctic fairy will give birthdays; hold the plow of the god ox to the west, and the rhinoceros looks at the moon to give birth to auspiciousness; hold the plow of the god ox to the north, and the Big Dipper shines brightly on the head of the dragon. The southeast, north, and west are plowed , outstanding people create foundations.'”

Li Junge suddenly remembered something, and said, "Wait a minute, I heard that some things are often dug up when digging the foundation. Did you tell me about such a thing?"

Uncle A Chong came here casually: "This is 'interpretation'. This is also one of the jobs of the ink master. Not only when 'breaking the ground', but also in the whole construction process of the house in the future, some things may happen to you. The similar weird phenomena mentioned, such as digging up some animals, seeing some foreign objects, and some celestial phenomena, etc., are just a few."

"When encountering this kind of situation, the ink master will draw a hexagram to determine good or bad. Or pray and thank God, or dispel evil, in short, ask for these strange things to be bestowed. The method is also the simplest, we will shout auspicious words like 'eat all the fine grains, and the children and grandchildren will be full' to indicate that this is not a bad thing, and the host will feel at ease."

"The vision is not necessarily a bad thing. When Zhang Yi built the capital of Shu, he saw a big tortoise and a group of small tortoises playing in the water beside the Jinjiang River. That's why the treasure site was settled! Sure enough, it later became the 'Land of Abundance' !"

Li Junge laughed loudly: "High! It's really high! This is too humane! A good fortune teller is not necessarily a good black ink master, but a good ink palm master must be a good fortune teller! Is this the reason? Uncle A Chong?"

Uncle A Chong smiled and said: "Ninety-nine are not far from ten! I really can afford this high hat! Hahahaha! The next step is 'Dingfaji'. After the foundation of the house is completed, the owner of the house invites the craftsmen to the site. Agree on the scale and style of the house to be built. In fact, it was from this time that we took over the wooden buildings of yours."

Li Junge looked at Zhu Chaoan with contempt on his face: "Look, look! What is tradition! What is exquisiteness! I am puzzled by pigs and insects. After talking so much, why did you fool me with a whole foundation laying ceremony?" ?”

Zhu Chaoan took a sip of wine: "Damn! I haven't even heard what Uncle A Chong said. I guess my dad doesn't understand! Where do you want me to go to find this set of rules with you?"

Uncle A Chong said with a smile: "The fourteen steps of building a house are site selection, foundation laying, estimating the lawn, logging, erecting a horse, building, installing stools, arranging fans, setting up a mountain, erecting beams, cloth covering, installing a house, and securing wealth." Door, please fire. We have just talked about the first three items, and there is still more to say later. If Chaoan and the others follow this way, how much will the construction period be delayed?"

Li Junge said: "There is nothing to say, not to mention the unique and exquisite architectural style of the Miaojia wooden building, and the scientific space structure, just this set of rules is enough to be considered an intangible cultural heritage."

Uncle A Chong said: "The most lively time to build a house is when Lishan follows the beam. Then the whole village will come to help join in the fun, and then you will have to pay for it."

Li Junge said with a smile: "I know this, but I don't remember what is so special about it. When I was young, I just remembered grabbing candy and grabbing cakes!"

Uncle A Chong smiled and said: "Hahaha, wait another half a month, after we arrange the fans, we will stand on the mountain and go up the beam. By then, the children will come back from the New Year's Day. It's just so lively! After finishing, let's go to the Miao village together." Chinese New Year!"

Li Junge said: "When the New Year is over on the mountain, we should prepare for the New Year down here. This year is really hectic. There is a hammer here and a mallet here. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong, so we will get here if we drag."

Uncle A Chong smiled and said, "Uncle A Chong, I know a little about things like planting trees, land and fish. Some of these things are very slow to take effect, and the foundation alone will take several years. I really can't rush it. You have already done it. Very good."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Yes, ten years of trees can't be achieved overnight."

After eating this "stealing Liang banquet", Li Junge went to Lanchang again to see the progress of Lin Wangcai.

But he saw that Professor Yang, his assistants Xiao Ding and Wu Zhiqiu were already in the laboratory, and Lin Wangcai was introducing something to Professor Yang with a training cup.

When the three of them saw Li Junge coming, they all came out of the tissue culture laboratory.

Wu Zhiqiu laughed loudly: "Erpi, good news! Professor Yang's inspection is almost done. Our Lijiagou side is indeed selenium-rich belt! Now our lychee can be branded as a selenium-rich fruit!"

Li Junge was overjoyed and said, "Really? Hahaha, that's really great!"

Professor Yang shook his head and sighed: "It does belong to the selenium-rich belt, but the area is still too small, including only Xuantian Village, Lijiagou Village, and a part of Pan'ao Township, which cannot change the status of our province as a large selenium-poor province. Situation!"

Li Junge was already happy in his heart, waved his hands and said: "Don't dare to think, don't dare to think, this is already God's eye-opening, now the resistance to ecological agriculture will be even smaller!"

Professor Yang said: "This is definitely no problem. Our Agricultural University will also issue a set of proposals to the county government at that time, and we will also give them such suggestions."

Wu Zhiqiu said: "Erpi, you have to go to the county as soon as possible to find out how to obtain the certification of selenium-rich agricultural products and organic agricultural products. You also need to purchase testing equipment to do a good job in product quality inspection and control. Fatie, that’s selling pork for the price of cabbage.”

Professor Yang said: "Our province finally got a selenium-enriched belt. It's not easy. We should strike while the iron is hot."

Li Junge scratched his head and said, "The only agricultural products that can be produced now are rice and crucian carp, and the rest are worthless!"

Wu Zhiqiu said: "Prepare for a rainy day, Professor Yang has inspected, and your dozens of acres of vegetable land also meets the standards, so we will send the four kinds of Jiulixiang, Wujinxue, crucian carp and vegetables first, and prepare for the big promotion next year. !"

The four came to the dormitory of the pig farm. Lin Wangcai served tea, and everyone drank tea and chatted together.

Professor Yang said: "Zhiqiu's thinking is right. These things won't happen in a short time. It's time to make preparations now."

Turning around, he said to Wu Zhiqiu: "Zhiqiu, in the area of ​​Lijiagou and Xuantianzhai, you have to think carefully about how to develop ecological agriculture. It’s not that it hasn’t happened in the local area, you have to have confidence and you have to be steady!”

Li Junge said: "Grandpa Yang's words are right. Even if it is a treasure land, you can't rush to it with a dull head. It is still in the stage of wading through. Before the market is cultivated, it will be useless to plant anything."

Professor Yang nodded and said, "That's right, I'd rather be more stable than be like those villages in Hongshui City that raise bamboo rats. This good thing may not be sold!"

After finishing speaking, he let out a long breath: "Purple jade yam, is it a good thing? This year, I heard that many places have rotten fields."

Li Junge was also secretly startled. It seems that this e-commerce platform still has to be well managed. This is a market channel that he can personally control, and he must not lose it.

Although it signed a partnership agreement with Yu Yatou, the starting point is much higher than those villages that have been planted indiscriminately, but the market is ruthless, and one more insurance is needed to be reliable.

After talking about this, Professor Yang changed the subject again, and said to Lin Wangcai: "It's not easy for Lao Lin. He has been engaged in tissue culture research for decades, and he has a thorough understanding of the technology in this area."

After finishing speaking, he changed the topic: "However, agricultural technology is changing with each passing day. Our country is a big agricultural country, and many technologies are at the forefront of the world. Last time you said that you plan to plant Chinese medicinal materials in the mountains and forests next year. I passed the report to our school. The researchers of the Institute of Botany have seen it, and your Gastrodia elata project is still well selected."

Li Junge smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a choice. The main reason is that the authentic place of Gastrodia elata is in our area, just like Dendrobium nobile. So we selected these two."

Professor Yang said with a smile: "This is based on experience. Do you know what is the relationship between Dendrobium and Gastrodia elata?"

Li Junge's claws were numb, and he said, "I'm really not sure about this. I only know that these two herbs have better medicinal properties and grow well in our place."

Lin Wangcai said: "If you want to talk about something in common, these two are orchids that live in symbiosis with fungi, especially Gastrodia elata, which don't even have chlorophyll, and grow by absorbing the nutrients that bacteria breed in the soil, and finally bloom; Oh, by the way, the seeds of the two are also similar, both have no endosperm and are in powder form; they also burst open after maturity, and the seeds are scattered with the wind; the germination rate is also very low, and to germinate and grow, they must rely on the symbiotic flora in the environment."

Professor Yang said with a smile: "That's very correct. Because of this characteristic, the roots of both are called mycorrhizae, and their germination and growth are all closely related to the symbiotic mycorrhizal flora. Now our agricultural university's medicinal The Institute of Botany and the Institute of Rare Plants are jointly researching these mycorrhizal fungi. A lot of results have been researched on these mycorrhizal fungi. The two things you selected involve one of the fungi, called Dendrobium, Have you heard of it?"

Now even Wu Zhiqiu was shaking his head.

Professor Yang said: "I don't know, it's not surprising. This is the category of microbiology. We have studied these flora for decades in terms of morphology, ultrastructure and molecular structure analysis, and now some results have been applied. In the promotion stage, Dendrobium mushroom is one of them.”
