Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 516 Play
The seaside that He Ping and the others chose is near Yingcheng Port, which is Bayuquan Port.

In 1974, in order to meet the needs of economic development in Northeast China, the state decided to build Yingcheng Port (Bayuquan Port) in Bayuquan Township, Ping County, Liao Province.

In 1983, the Yingcheng Port Construction Headquarters was established and construction began.

On January 1984, 1, with the approval of the Government Affairs Council, Bayuquan Township in Yuanping County was withdrawn to establish Bayuquan District, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Yingcheng City.

Before Bayuquan district was assigned to the jurisdiction of Yingcheng, Mao Xueshan also served as the parent officer of this place for a period of time.

The later Bayuquan Port has been built into the second largest port in Northeast China and one of the top ten ports in the country.The area is rich in resources of minerals, timber, grain, fruit, and aquatic products; the transportation is convenient, with traffic arteries such as the Hajin Railway, Hajin Highway, and Fengjin Expressway running through the whole area.On the 25-kilometer-long coastline of the whole district, there are landscapes such as the Asian Herbarium, Wang'er Mountain, underground hot springs, seaside ancient beacon towers, Xianren Island, and Qinglong Mountain Forest Park, which constitute a seaside tourism where mountains, seas, forests, and springs complement each other. vacation spot.

But now, here is just a rural area near the sea.

The coastal road in later generations has not yet been built, so He Ping drove the car to a location more than 100 meters away from the sea and stopped.

Go forward along the Shahe River at the entrance of Haicha, and come to a sandy beach in the form of a knife handle. There is a sea in front of you, which is close at hand.

The sea in Liao Province is generally characterized by blue and slightly black, and the sand on the beach is mostly yellow. Compared with those seaside resorts, it is not outstanding, but the endless sea can always make people open their minds and forget all their troubles.

"After staying at home for a long time, it's nice to go out for a walk." He Ping said, smelling the salty sea breeze blowing in his face.

"It's rare to relax. Looking at the sea opens your eyes a lot." Mao Xueshan said with a relaxed expression.

After getting rid of the complicated work, his mood improved a lot.

While the two were talking, Xiao Zhu'er had already run to the beach, staring at the shells and crabs exposed on the beach, shouting excitedly from his mouth, maybe only a child can make such a sound when he sees the sea Shouts of unbridled joy.

"Dad, there are a lot of crabs and clams." Xiao Zhuer said while picking them up.

"Silly boy, it's okay to pick up some clams, and the crabs are not fat at this time."

Xiao Zhu'er doesn't care about fat or not, as long as he picks it up, he earns it. With so much seafood, his mouth is watering just thinking about it, like a little money fan.

July and August are the most suitable seasons to go to the beach. The family spent two hours playing at the beach. Apart from playing, seafood is also a must.

Along the beach, I found an open-air restaurant that was setting up stalls. Four columns were fixed on several pieces of granite, covered with felt, and it became a temporary restaurant.

The boss has a dark complexion, rough skin, and looks much older than his actual age, which is one of the disadvantages of living by the sea.

While steaming seafood, I chatted with the boss. The boss used to be a fisherman who went out to sea to fish. He injured his foot at sea a few years ago and couldn’t move. When Bayuquan opened, more people came here, so he set up a restaurant here. Stall, do a little business.

A pot of chowder was served on the table, mainly shellfish, such as chijiahong, clams, scallops, conch, and shrimp.

There is also a pot of marinated prawns, and the boss brings up the prepared ginger, vinegar, and horseradish, and He Ping's family has all the dishes ordered.

Eating seafood at the seaside is different from eating in restaurants. The method is simple and simple. The seafood is all picked up on the same day. Customers order the seafood they want, steam or marinate. There are very few other cooking methods to keep the seafood to the greatest extent. delicious and original flavor

Smelling the sweet smell of seafood brought by the steam, the family moved their index fingers.

He Ping picked up a piece of marinated shrimp, cut off the head and the back section of the shrimp, and then peeled off the shell of the shrimp section by section, revealing the freshly marinated meat, put it in his mouth, it was tender and refreshing, Very delicious.

"Boss, this shrimp is well marinated!" He Ping boasted.

A slightly shy smile appeared on the face of the busy boss, "Thank you, just eat well."

Sitting by the sea, blowing the sea breeze, eating seafood, everything is so relaxed and pleasant today.

Mao Xueshan suddenly felt emotional, "Bayuquan is a good place, but it's a pity that it didn't develop before."

The sudden emotion of the old man is largely due to the fact that Bayuquan was drawn out of the jurisdiction of Ping County.

"It's good. Now that the port has been established, it should develop well in the future."

"Yes, in terms of geographical conditions and climate, this should be a good port in the northeast after Jinzhou, and it will get better and better in the future."

"If Bayuquan Port is built, it will definitely drive the development of Yingcheng."

The rise of the port will inevitably bring about the prosperity of commerce and trade. This is a pattern that has been formed for thousands of years. Anyone with a little knowledge understands this truth.

Half an hour later, there was not much seafood left in the two large basins on the table.

Seafood alone is not enough, the boss served a bowl of rice for everyone, and was served a plate of fried prawns with sauce, which tasted very good.

The family ate their bellies round, took a stroll by the seaside for a while in the afternoon, and then drove back to Ping County.

On the return trip, Xiao Zhuer kept talking excitedly.

"Next summer, let's come over to play, and I will bring my classmates with me."

Strange to say, in fact, no matter where the seaside is, it is quite boring in real terms. It is nothing more than looking at the sea, catching up with the sea, swimming if you are brave enough, but these are the behaviors that sound normal , but can bring endless fun.

Chatting all the way, He Ping first drove Mao Xueshan and his wife back to Hongqi Town, and then the family of three returned to Hantun.

After spending most of the day at the beach, my clothes were already dirty and wet, so the first thing I did when I got home was to change my clothes.

After dinner in the evening, the family is sitting in the living room watching TV.

The village cadres came over and called He Ping, "The old captain asked you to go to the village headquarters."

When He Ping came to the village, he saw all the members of the village committee, "Why are you calling me this late at night?"

The old captain was refilling the cigarette pipe pot. "The hotel in the village has been completed and is about to open in two days. I want to ask your opinion. Do you have any ideas?"

"Thoughts? What thoughts?"

"The opening ceremony."

He Ping scratched his head, "Let's open the business as normal, and just have a simple ceremony. The hotel, as long as there are people living in it, the crew of "East Love" has been looting the talent dormitory for two years. Let them live in the hotel this time, and they should pay for it. Pay for it. Jinzhou TV Station is also shooting TV series now, and they contacted us through Liao TV Station some time ago. If they come to shoot, they will definitely live. There is also the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions", which should be settled in September or October. These three After the film crew, the hotel will maintain a very high occupancy rate for at least half a year. As for other business travelers and tourists, it goes without saying."

A large part of the hotel in the village had to be supported by the film crew in the early stage, and the old captain called He Ping here to let him explain to everyone.

After all, the village couldn't get a hand in film and television work, and now He Ping is in charge. With his words, everyone has a bottom line.
