Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1479 Buying a Village

When the floods reached the streets, the Wen family compound was also soaked in water. After the water receded, a line like this was left on the board and wall.

Fortunately, even though it experienced smoke and blisters, the siding of the courtyard did not deform and the walls did not collapse, which shows the reliability of the quality of the project back then.

The lattice window is composed of outer frame material, strip ring plate, skirt plate and lattice core strip. The main forms are fangsheng, oblique square, mat pattern, round mirror, crescent, ancient coin, fan, cross, Yazi, Tianzi, Gongzi. Words, flowers, animals, utensils, totems, etc.

The middle patterns mostly use metaphors and harmonies to express auspicious meanings, such as a vase and Ruyi, which means "peace and happiness"; such as longevity peaches and bergamot, which means "good fortune and longevity"; roses in a vase, which means "peace in all seasons"; ears of grain and bees. , lanterns, represent "a good harvest".

Originally, lattice windows were often made of silk, colored paper, or bamboo curtains to ensure indoor light transmission while taking into account privacy, but these have long since disappeared.

After walking around, everyone was very satisfied with the preliminary work of the town cadres. When the residents moved out, the entire compound was extremely well protected, without causing any accidental losses, and even a certain degree of repairs were made. and cleaning.

"You shouldn't be praised like this." The town cadres were very satisfied with the big donors and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "It's actually easier to do things if you have money. What we township cadres fear most is actually having the horse run away again. The kind where horses don’t eat grass!”

A witty remark that made everyone laugh.

The relocation of Dachang Town can be regarded as a reform practice and an attempt to "cross the river by feeling for the stones".

Since the important buildings that need to be relocated are relatively concentrated, but the level is not that important, the above will leave it to private forces to complete.

Among them is the Guandi Temple, which was built in an unknown year and was overhauled in the second year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty.

There is still an inscription on the emperor's main palace that was built in the Yichou year of Qianlong.

The Emperor is a blessing god in folk belief in Sichuan and Chongqing, also known as the "Sichuan Lord". In fact, it is Li Bing who opened the Jiangyan Irrigation System in Dudu.

In addition, there are countless old residences and ancient buildings on Qiyun, Juhe and Wangxia Streets.

Among them, the Qing Dynasty residential buildings on Juhe Street were loft-type civil buildings, consisting of a main hall, a back hall, east and west wing rooms and a patio. They were surrounded by tall fire-sealing walls and the beams were made of bucket-type wooden frames. It was a pity that it was not built ten years ago. The area was severely damaged by heavy rains and floods and was in urgent need of rescue.

In addition, there are the Lu family's old house, the three-store old house, the Tan family's old house, the Cao family's old house, the Fang family's old house, the Huang family's old house...

The above are all from the Qing Dynasty, extending from the mid-Qing Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty.

In addition, there is the Xie Family Mansion in the Republic of China, which combines Chinese and Western styles, and there is even a Catholic church.

Finally, there are Xiangshijie Xiaofang, Anxi Bridge, and Chuyang Gate, a stone gate that enters the town from the water pier.

The Three Gorges Cultural Preservation Foundation invested 18 million yuan to buy 48 ancient buildings in the town, including residences, temples, archways, and even a city gate and stone bridge.

In Dachang Town, where the price of a house today is only 176 yuan, million is certainly a huge sum of money. This amount of money is enough for Dachang Town to build a huge community of households on the -meter line. Each building in the community is a two-story, five-room villa with a front street and a backyard.

It is equivalent to moving the entire Dachang Town up there.

When the water level rises, it will become a beautiful lakeside community with 12 square kilometers of lake frontage and 1,000 hectares of wetland area. The water is open, clear, and rich in aquatic life. It can become a habitat and breeding place for many wetland birds.

An important demonstration base for wetland ecosystem protection, wetland publicity and education, and rational utilization of wetlands in the Three Gorges Reservoir area will be set up here.

At the same time, the landscape of alpine canyons, peaks and mountains on both sides of the river and some mountain vegetation on the west side are still well preserved. The rock walls are like cut and there are many strange rocks. The frost leaves in autumn and winter are particularly charming.

Moreover, it will also become the junction of the Shennongjia Scenic Area and the Little Three Gorges Scenic Area. The government hopes that it will eventually become the distribution center for Wushan, Wuxi, and Shenlongjia circular tourist hotlines.

"Build new nests and raise funds to recruit phoenixes." This is the slogan shouted by the local government, and it is also a move supported by the state.

The investment is 18 million, but the savings to the country are far more than this amount, and the benefits that can be generated in the future are even more than this amount.

What makes local cadres even more happy is that the state's allocation for immigrant relocation has not been reduced. This has resulted in Dachang Town receiving 18 million more than other towns for nothing, making the cadres feel that the relocation work has become much easier at once. .

So when the load of jelly passed by the gate of the courtyard, the town cadres smiled and called the stall in and invited everyone to eat jelly.

There are two types of jelly in the stall here. One is made from pea flour and mung bean flour, which is similar to the local jelly in Jiachuan. The other one is called "Jade jelly", which is a bit interesting.

This thing is made from the pectin of the leaves of a local plant called "Tofu Chai". This thing is also available in Jiachuan, but the name is not nice, it is called "Stinky Yellow Jing", and generally no one makes it. People eat it, let alone carry a load and sell it in the streets for money.

The eldest lady knows how to make this. She learned it from her grandmother. When Zhou Zhi was a child, she went to Rongshan to play in summer vacation. If the eldest lady didn't have any spare money, she would make this once or twice to cheer little Zhou Zhi up.

But the one I made is relatively simple, similar to ice powder, just add some brown sugar water and it's done. There are many people eating here in Wushan, but they mix it according to the recipe of spicy jelly.

Pea jelly is made by adding the powder slurry to boiling water, adjusting the paste evenly, pouring it into a basin and freezing it to solidify; the preparation of jade jelly is actually simpler than pea jelly and mung bean jelly, and it doesn’t even need to be heated. Mash the leaves of the smelly yellow vitex, add water and mix thoroughly, filter with gauze to squeeze out the gum, and it will be solidified.

However, the degree of colloid cohesion of jade jelly is not as good as that of pea jelly. Unlike pea jelly, which can be scraped into noodles, it can only be cut into pieces, and then mixed with ginger and garlic juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, pepper oil, salt, sugar, and cooked white jelly. Sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, red oil chili, and you're ready to eat.

It had been a long time since Zhou Zhi had eaten this stuff. When he put the first spoonful into his mouth, Zhou Zhi was not surprised why people here liked to eat it.

Although the method and condition are similar, the taste of the jade jelly here is a little different from the one made by Da Ni!

The jade jelly made by the lady has a bitter herbal taste that cannot be suppressed by brown sugar water; the one here actually has a refreshing feeling, and the medicinal taste is only a little bit in the tail of the aftertaste, not obvious.

So delicious!
