The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 112 The work has started
This year's Chinese New Year, the Wang family spent a lot of money, buying fur coats, Maotai wine, Zhonghua cigarettes, big fish and meat, and finally spent more than 3 yuan.

On the fourth day of junior high school, Zhao Shitang's family, Zhao Shitao's family, and Zhao Shihai's family all came to Wang Shaodong's house in Taohualing Village.

On the fifth day of the lunar new year, Wang Shaodong's family went to Wang Shaodong's aunt's house to play for a day.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, Wang Shaodong went to his second aunt's house to play for a day.

On the seventh day of the seventh day, Wang Shaodong's eldest aunt and second aunt's family came to Wang's house to play for another day. In this way, on the eighth day of the new year, Wang Shaodong's relatives were gone, and the year was almost over.

In the afternoon of the seventh day of the seventh day, the eldest aunt and the second aunt were sent away, and then Wang Shaodong and Wang Fumin discussed together and decided to drink a start-of-work wine tomorrow, which would be regarded as the official start of work.

So, Wang Fumin went to the families that he planned to work with next year, and issued a notice to come to their house for a drink tomorrow.

The work will officially start tomorrow, which means that starting tomorrow, I will start paying these twelve people.I can't be so stupid as to say that I give them free wages, so it is also appropriate to arrange them to do some work.

To say that the work in front of me is really complicated.

The farm needs to start cleaning, prepare for cage equipment, and then immediately put chickens on the next step.

These tasks, Ma Zhentang, He Jiaxiang and He Jiaqing's three families and six people, plus Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang's two wives, a total of eight people can do these jobs.

Then, as long as the money is in place, the cage chicken equipment can be shipped immediately, which Wang Shaodong knows very well.

In addition to the work on the chicken farm, the main work of the Wang family is on the side of the reservoir.

When drinking on the first day of the new year, Wu Youguang said that the county has 100% support for Wang's investment in building a reservoir, and the formalities will not come down until February of the lunar calendar, but their family can start working first. Wu Youguang can take care of anything.

With the words of the village chief, the Wang family was relieved.

As long as the village supports this kind of thing, the above will not say that it is a big problem.

On the morning of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wang Shaodong took Su Yulong, Liu Yujiang, Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao to Wujiayuzi after drinking the start-of-work wine.

Everyone drank some wine, but in Wujiayuzi, they were a little high-spirited.

Hearing that the Wang family is going to build a large reservoir here, the entire Taohualing Village is full of expectations.

After all, once the reservoir is built, the thousand acres of dry land downstream of Wujiayuzi will immediately become irrigated.

In the lower reaches of Wujiayuzi, because of the mountain torrents every year, the thousands of acres of land have not been able to harvest much food.If a reservoir is built in Wujiayuzi upstream, then the mountainous lands downstream of Wujiayuzi will immediately become irrigated land, and the entire Taohualing Village can increase more than three mu of fertile land per capita, which is definitely a good thing for the benefit of the village.

For such an investment, whoever dares to raise objections will really do it right with the whole village.

Wang Shaodong understood this very well, so on the eighth day of the first lunar month, he took his own to Wujiayuzi to see the situation first.

Wang Shaodong has been to the entire Wujiayuzi countless times. At the southernmost part of Wujiayuzi, there is a cliff with a height of more than 100 meters. From the cliff to the north, the terrain gradually becomes shorter, forming a gourd-shaped terrain at the exit of Wujiayuzi.The narrowest part of the Wujiayuzi exit is only about [-] meters away, which is the most suitable place to build a barrage.

The entire Wujiayuzi is mostly bluestone slabs that don’t grow anything. At first, no one took a fancy to this area, but after it was opened, it was entrusted to Liu Yujiang and Su Yulong. They wanted to plant some fruit trees on the mountain in exchange for money.However, there are not many fruit trees here, so after Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang have been running Wujiayuzi for several years, they abandoned it to start construction in their last anger.

Hearing that the Wang family was going to build a reservoir here, Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang admired it more than anything else.

Su Yulong is a tall and thick man, while Liu Yujiang is a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.

When they arrived at Wujiayuzi, Wang Shaodong took the four of them around the whole valley. He asked Zheng Hui to take a pen, and recorded which places needed to be filled with an excavator, and which places needed to be leveled.

The Wang family's funds are limited, so it is impossible to find a professional design team to carry out the overall planning here.If you really ask a design institute team to design, I am afraid that the budget of 20 yuan is definitely not enough.

After turning around, Wang Shaodong and the others returned home, and then they were busy with those that needed to be shoveled, how many places there were to fill the soil, how many excavators needed to be hired, and so on.

At 07:30 on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wang Shaodong's team calculated that if they wanted to build a reservoir in Wujiayuzi, they would need to find three excavators and work for two weeks.

It costs 600 yuan a day to hire an excavator, 5000 yuan a day for three excavators, and more than [-] yuan for two weeks.

Although this budget was not originally in Wang Shaodong's plan, after these works, the water storage capacity in the reservoir will increase a lot in the next step, which is also very necessary.

In addition, like the edge of many reservoirs, after leveling, the conditions for planting lotus roots are met. If this is not the case, it is impossible to plant lotus roots in potholes.

During the Chinese New Year period, Wang Shaodong and his son also made a division of labor. His father, Wang Fumin, was in charge of the chicken farm, while Wang Shaodong was in charge of building the reservoir.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Wang Shaodong's team made a tour of Wujiayuzi, and then on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Wang Shaodong sent Liu Yujiang to find three excavators and went up the mountain.

Liu Yujiang has worked in construction for several years, and he is an acquaintance with these excavator drivers.

After the excavator arrived, Wang Shaodong, Zheng Hui, and Zheng Tao kept their eyes on Wujiayuzi's side every day.

Here the excavator entered the construction site, and on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Su Yulong and the others contacted three construction teams to start building the barrage.

Regarding the design and planning of the dam, Wang Shaodong did not dare to be sloppy. If the design of the dam was not good and the dam collapsed, his family would not be able to afford it even with much money.

Therefore, for the dam body, Wang Shaodong went to the Design Institute of Luzhong Iron and Steel Works to find an expert, and spent 5000 yuan for a professional design.

According to Wang Shaodong's request, for the entire 100-meter barrage, rubber dams will be used for the middle 50 meters, and stone walls will be built for the 50 meters on both sides.

The project started on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, with a big contract and no need to worry about food.

Although the employees of the three construction teams did not have to take care of their meals, Su Yulong, Liu Yujiang, Zheng Hui, Zheng Tao and themselves also had to eat.So every day at noon, Wang Shaodong would arrange for Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao to go down the mountain to get food in turn.

The construction of the reservoir is on the right track, and the cage chicken equipment on the chicken farm is also in place. The next step is the construction of the orchard and the experiment of raising chickens on the Songbai Mountain.
