Chapter 460 Niangu Ferry

Chapter 460
"One, two, three...eggplant..."

"Okay, very good, let's take some pictures by the bridge."

Afterwards, the brothers and sisters had a great time playing on the highest bridge in the world, taking pictures and admiring the scenery on and off the bridge.

"Brother, this place is so high, what will happen if you jump from here?" Xiaoyue looked at the deep canyon under the bridge, and couldn't help exclaiming.

"It's all nonsense, who would jump from here?" Zhang Feng slapped her on the forehead.

"Oh, why not, don't there often be bungee jumpers and skydivers on TV??" The little girl pouted and argued.

Hearing this, Zhang Feng immediately rolled his eyes, bungee jumping from such a high place, isn't that courting death?As for skydiving, it is even more impossible, because there is a rolling river below, jumping from here, it is almost like not wanting to live.

"Brother, look there is a boat coming over there!" Suddenly Zhang Yi exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Feng and the others hurriedly looked towards the upper reaches of the Panlong River. Sure enough, a white cruise ship was going down the river, and the tourists on it could be vaguely seen.

"That should be the cruise ship of Panlong River Travel Agency." As the cruise ship approached, Zhang Feng probably saw the words on the ship's side clearly.

Seeing his cousin and two younger sisters staring at the cruise ship on the river without blinking, Zhang Feng smiled and decided to take them down to the river valley to have a look.

"Come on, let's go to the pier, from where we can feel the majesty of the Grand Canyon."

"Okay, okay..." The little girl was enthusiastic about everything she did for 3 minutes, but she got tired of watching the scenery on the bridge within a quarter of an hour.

Gudu Wharf is located in the lower reaches of the Panlong River Canyon, not very far from the bridge, it only takes about ten minutes by car.

"Xiaoyi should be familiar with this place, right?" Several people got out of the car and came to the pier, Zhang Feng asked his cousin with a smile.

"Hehe, of course, since I graduated from high school, my father and I have been going to the countryside to do business, and we will come here every six days to catch a market." Looking at the familiar Gudu market, Zhang Yi replied with a smile .

During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, the Panlong River was the only water transportation artery in the southwestern part of Guizhou Province, and it could lead to the prosperous Guangdong Province from here.

In the past, thousands of sails were raced here, and commerce was developed. Countless tung seeds and pig bristles were loaded on ships from here, and shipped to Guangdong Province, and then pulled back industrial products such as iron nails and kerosene.

Therefore, the Panlong River Ancient Ferry gradually became a prosperous market town with many shops and developed commerce. During the Qing Dynasty, there were special water checkpoints here to collect customs duties.

However, with the establishment of New China, the country has embarked on a large-scale development, and various reservoirs and bridges have been erected on the Panlong River. Because of the backward technology, the once-prosperous water transportation arteries have been completely blocked.

As a result, the Panlong River became the Gudu market, which declined rapidly, and eventually became a backwater, one of the most isolated towns in Qingshan.

However, with the advancement of technology and the development of social economy, ship locks have been built in various reservoirs on the Panlong River, so the Panlong River has the conditions for navigation again.

Since three years ago, the Panlong River has been able to navigate large ships under a thousand tons. Maybe some people will say that a thousand tons is too big?The supertankers at sea can easily weigh 30 tons, or even [-] tons.

But it is above the sea. For a place as deep as Qingshan thousands of kilometers inland, it is not easy to have a thousand tons of navigable rivers.

From here, boats of pitch-black coal sailed far away and transported to Guangdong Province, where resources are scarce. Therefore, the development of coal has become an indispensable and important economic pillar of Qingshan, and it can create tens of millions of wealth every year. Tsingshan created tens of thousands of jobs.

"Isn't this a market? Why are there so few people?" the little girl asked curiously.

"Hehe, today is not the time to go to the market. Besides, the new town has been moved to another place, so of course there are fewer people." Zhang Yi responded with a smile.

This is only so lively every time there is a market, because this is the junction of Qingshan and Guanshan counties, and the other side of the Panlong River is Guanshan County. Here we sell the special products of the village, and then buy the necessities of life.

At this time, by the Panlong River, only sporadic tourists gather at the ancient ferry and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Panlong River.

"Wow, brother, look, there are people fishing over there!" Everyone walked to the ancient ferry, and suddenly the sharp-eyed little girl saw a fisherman casting a net in the river on a fishing boat downstream.

A small wooden boat floated unsteadily in the river. The tall mountains on both sides of the river rolled up and down, and the rising sun hung above the big river.

Such a beautiful scene reminded Zhang Feng of a wonderful poem:

The green hills on both sides of the strait face each other, and the lone sail is approaching the sun,

"The Erbeard fish in the Panlong River is a famous specialty of Qingshan!" Zhang Yi introduced with a smile. Fish are more famous than those in Mondsee.

A catty of wild Panlong River erhuzi can be sold for 50 yuan per catty at the most expensive time. Although it is much cheaper now, the good ones can be sold for around [-] yuan.

Over the years, with the improvement of the natural environment, the once-exhausted fishery resources have gradually recovered, and the ancient occupation of fishing has also gradually recovered. Especially during the slack season, villagers on both sides of the bank will row boats to fish in the Panlong River. , Earn some extra money to subsidize the family.

"Brother, how about we go catch fish by the river?" Seeing the fishermen fishing in the river, the little girl suddenly said on a whim.

"How do you grab it? Do you grab it with your hands?" Zhang Feng rolled his eyes and said angrily,
This girl really thinks she is a fairy, can she catch fish empty-handed without tools?

"Oh, brother, why didn't you bring a fishing net?" The little girl blamed with her mouth raised.

"Okay, Xiaoyue, we are here to see the scenery, not to fish." Zhang Lin shook her head and said to the little girl.

"Hmph, I'm just talking, I'm not really going to go fishing..." the little girl murmured softly.

…………

"Buddy, do you want to rent a boat? The discounted price is only 100 yuan..."

"Handsome guy, pretty girl, take my boat, only 50 yuan per person..."

When a few people came to the pier, several small cruise ships stepped forward to attract guests.

"No, no, we have our own boat!!" Zhang Yi has rich experience and often comes here to go to the market, so he is very familiar with this place.

Hearing his local accent, the boatman immediately shook his head and left. Everyone knows that the local people's business is not easy to do, and only foreigners are big fat sheep.

As for the phenomenon of slaughtering customers, in fact, there are all over the country. It’s just a question of how many. Of course, it is also related to the managers. In places with strict management, the phenomenon of slaughtering customers is relatively rare. In places with poor management, it is simply doing whatever you want. Outsiders, such as the notorious Xuexiang.

Seeing that Zhang Feng and the others were all locals, the boatmen who knew there was nothing to do left one after another, and then hurried to the next wave of tourists.
