Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 158: Groundbreaking for a new house! Competitors appear?

Plans to build a new house.

Fang Hongan had already completed it last year.

The procedures for the homestead have already been approved.

It was originally planned to start construction a long time ago.

but……

Last year was so busy!
This side of the earth house.

After some repairs.

Lan Wenxiu always felt very warm.

Not wanting to overwork Fang Hongan, he persuaded him to move the plan to this year.

This year is the beginning of the year.

For Fang Hongan, it means he is even busier.

but.

Up to now, everything is on the right track.

This matter needs to be put on the agenda.

Building new houses in rural areas is a big deal.

Although compared with the old society, some old customs have been eliminated.

But many things are still very particular.

There is no need to talk about the step of choosing a homestead.

As for the location of the new house, Fang Hongan obtained an application form stamped by the village long before he built the apiary last year.

The location of this residential land was also chosen by someone when Fang Hongan's father was still alive.

Right after the site was chosen.

The next first step is to break ground and dig the foundation.

In the Dongling area, it is also called Kaitu.

There are many things to pay attention to when starting a new site.

Choose a good day and time.

A date and time that matches the horoscope of the owner must be chosen, and the owner must then personally dig the first hole in the ground.

People like Fang Hongan, whose parents died when he was young, were considered to have very bad luck in the old society.

For this kind of people, choosing the day and time to start digging the soil is more particular.

However, after the Four Olds were destroyed, there were not so many considerations in this regard.

Moreover, Fang Hongan has been doing very well over the past year, which can be considered as turning the tide of bad luck. Now is his time of good fortune.

There are not so many requirements when it comes to choosing a date.

Fang Hongan didn't believe in these things so much.

I chose the day and time based on my own feelings.

These two points have been determined.

According to the custom in Dongling, the next step is to hold a groundbreaking ceremony.

According to Fang Hongan's original intention, this point was directly skipped.

but.

I heard that Fang Hongan is going to build a new house.

The ground is about to be broken.

Fang Hongan doesn't have to take care of this.

Fang Hongjiang and the villagers prepared a groundbreaking ceremony for Fang Hongan.

In this regard, Fang Hongan had no choice but to accept it.

Killing chickens, burning paper, burning incense, worshipping...

I did everything according to Fang Hongjiang's instructions.

Next, Fang Hongan picked up a hoe and symbolically dug a hole in each of the four corners of the foundation that had been painted with lime.

This is considered to be the beginning of the groundbreaking.

The entire groundbreaking ceremony was now over.

After completing the groundbreaking ceremony, Fang Hongjiang began to pass out cigarettes to the stonemasons, craftsmen, plasterers, and carpenters who were familiar with the site, constantly greeting them with words of "thank you for your hard work", and then gave each of them sealed red envelopes.

This is the red envelope for starting work.

It is a necessary ritual.

Times are hard, so it doesn’t really matter.

But it must be given.

Otherwise it would be an inauspicious start to the project.

Of course, with Fang Hongan’s current wealth.

You can't be too stingy with the red envelope for the start of work.

but……

The price cannot be too high, otherwise it will disrupt the market situation on the ridge.

When other people build houses in the future, the craftsmen will inevitably compare.

By then, it will make life difficult for the next house owner to build.

and so……

Fang Hongan’s approach is currently the most advanced in Dongling.

One pack of Red Bean cigarettes per person.

Then, put a red envelope containing 1.6 yuan.

One dollar and six cents is double eight!

It is very auspicious.

The reason why these red envelopes were given to Fang Hongjiang was mainly because Fang Hongan wanted to save trouble.

The construction of the entire new house was supervised by Fang Hongjiang.

In this regard, Fang Dajingang is quite experienced.

And...I am also happy to accept this important task.

A red envelope for the start of work.

Fang Hongan entrusted the next matters to Fang Hongjiang to help look after them.

Materials, project progress, construction standards...

Everything is under his control.

As for the food supply, Lan Wenxiu had originally planned for him to provide it.

But Fang Hongjiang's wife snatched it away without giving any explanation.

So, this matter was saved.

He just went to the scene to take a look every evening.

In these days, it is still popular to have helpers when building houses in rural areas, and villagers are generally willing to help enthusiastically.

When they learned that it was Fang Hongan who was building the house, even more workers came to help.

Since the foundation digging began, a large number of people have arrived at the site every day.

Digging soil, moving stones, laying foundation stones...

There are more and more people helping out.

It soon became a grand event where everyone was scrambling to get in.

Fang Hongan had no choice but to ask Fang Hongjiang to come forward and gather people to persuade him again and again.

In the end, those who wanted to help were persuaded to go back.

All the work was assigned to the hired construction team.

And after that...

The construction of the entire new house went quite smoothly.

Seeing a piece of wasteland, from leveling, breaking ground, digging foundations...

Soon, layer upon layer of brick walls were built on the foundation.

About the style of the house.

Fang Hongan also thought carefully about it.

The eighties.

There are actually quite a few bungalows in the county town.

Fang Hongan also considered building a bungalow directly.

or……

Coming towards the villa?

but……

After thinking for a while, Fang Hongan decided to build a red brick and tile house.

For a place like Shiwan Village in the mountains, a large tiled house that is warm in winter and cool in summer is more suitable.

Of course, although it is a tiled house, Fang Hongan also made some optimizations based on the experience of later generations.

Fang Hongan is very satisfied with the design of the entire house.

Lan Wenxiu also likes it very much.

As for some people, they found it a bit weird after watching it.

This was completely within Fang Hongan's expectations.

Accepting new things... always takes a process...

……

After the construction of the new house is on track.

Fang Hongan, on his part, went straight to the county town.

The same is construction.

The construction of the processing plant started at the beginning of this year.

After several months of intensive work.

The construction progress is nearing completion.

As the director of this processing plant, Fang Hongan, the "hands-off shopkeeper", should also go and take a look. Considering this trip.

Not only do we have to see the processing plant finished, but we also have to start attracting investment and put the new processing plant into production...

All of this will take a long time to complete.

So, Fang Hongan had already discussed it with his wife Lan Wenxiu.

The family of three decided to live in the county town for a while.

Lan Wenxiu also felt that she should go along with them.

It would be convenient to take care of Fang Hongan in the county town, since the rented house there is empty anyway.

So, I agreed.

Got the family side sorted.

There is a lot to do on this trip and it will take a long time.

For this serious matter, Fang Hongan needs to find two helpers.

Wang Tong and Fang Chengtao are undoubtedly the best helpers.

But this trip will probably take more than a month, and if we take the two of them with us, the apiary may not be able to operate properly.

After much deliberation, Fang Hongan decided to choose two more people.

Both of them were employees who were honored at a recent dividend dinner.

One is called Fang Honghai and the other is called Wang Tongjun.

Fang Honghai and Fang Hongan are of the same generation and were classmates in junior high school.

I learned the skills of a bricklayer from my father since I was a child.

He was one of the first ten people recruited into the apiary.

He is solid and humble, and learns various techniques very quickly after entering the apiary.

But later it was discovered that he had talent in apiary construction, so Fang Hongan adjusted the focus of his work to the optimization and construction of apiaries.

Starting from the second apiary, he was deeply involved in the construction of several subsequent apiaries.

From the very beginning, I followed Carpenter Yang and others to learn and accumulate experience.

By the time the seventh and eighth apiaries, which had just been built, were completed, he had already taken on the main responsibility and was the primary person in charge of the construction of the apiaries.

A few months ago, Fang Hongan had intended to take him to the county town to oversee the subsequent completion of the processing plant.

Therefore, I made an extra copy of the processing plant's drawings early on and gave it to him to study.

After such a long period of familiarity, he is also very familiar with the situation of this processing plant.

After this final stage, acceptance and adjustments will be carried out.

That's just right.

As for Wang Tongjun.

He was from Shanmuping Village, and was a cousin of Wang Tong.

Strictly speaking, he and Fang Hongan are somewhat related.

Like Wang Tong, Wang Tongjun is a bit outgoing and talkative.

However, compared with Wang Tong's previous straightforwardness and lack of attention to details.

Wang Tongjun is more careful and picky about the people he speaks to, and only says nice things.

If you are attentive, you can scare people and make them happy.

He entered the apiary later than Fang Honghai, after apiary No. 3 was built.

After getting acquainted for a while, Fang Hongan arranged him to bee farm No. 3, where he was mainly responsible for communication, planning and arrangements of the bee farm.

It is equivalent to the position of person in charge.

And Wang Tongjun also showed his abilities.

When several apiaries are of similar size.

The amount of honey produced each month by Bee Farm No. 3 is now second only to Bee Farm No. 1.

Here...

Wang Tongjun’s contribution can be said to be indispensable.

Fang Hongan brought Wang Tongjun along this time mainly to help Fang Honghai finish the follow-up projects at the processing plant.

Then, prepare for the subsequent investment promotion work of honey, bee wine and honey wine.

This investment promotion will give Wang Tongjun some training. He will be responsible for investment promotion and external relations in the future.

Two people here.

When Fang Hongan found them and told them that he wanted to take them to the county town.

After being stunned for a moment, the two immediately started nodding their heads wildly.

He kept saying yes.

Since entering the apiary, both of them have been quite satisfied with the money they make and the sense of achievement and gain.

In particular, Fang Hongan never regarded them as hard laborers.

Instead, we always encourage them to learn more and paint for them some grand visions that they had never dared to imagine before.

This makes them feel very excited and they also have many aspirations for the future.

This time, Fang Hongan took them to the county town.

That obviously means giving them a bigger stage for training, so how could they not agree?

The manpower is ready.

Fang Hongan made a phone call and contacted two trucks.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to transport goods, the group came directly to the county town.

I learned that Fang Hongan and others came to the county town.

Wang Gui and Wang Xiaojie arrived at Fang Hongan's rental house early and helped clean it.

Another welcome banquet was prepared.

Got off the bus and had lunch.

After settling his wife and daughter, Fang Hongan led Fang Honghai and Wang Tongjun to the construction site of the processing plant.

Haven't seen you for a few months.

The moment he got off the car, Fang Hongan felt quite unfamiliar.

The processing plant before us was a mess from the time it started out as a pile of mud.

By now, the three-story main factory building has been topped out.

Dormitory, canteen, bathhouse...

The construction of these supporting facilities has also entered the final stage.

……

This originally desolate wasteland suddenly felt like a small town.

Fang Hongan noticed that even those who were passing by couldn't help but stop and watch and sigh for a while after seeing this huge project.

Because we talked on the phone before coming.

As soon as the car arrived, the captain of the construction team and the person in charge of supervision from the Construction Committee came out to greet us.

As Dongling Shanglinyuan honey becomes more and more popular and famous, the county pays more attention to this project.

Over the past few months, county leaders have been coming to inspect continuously.

Moreover, according to the latest news from the county party committee.

The plan is to take the Linyuan honey processing plant as the core.

The entire area will be developed into a development park focusing on food production and processing.

As the core processing plant of this development park, its status is unquestionable.

The construction quality of this project can be said to be no longer an ordinary construction project, but contains many political tasks.

Moreover, based on Fang Hongan's performance during his last inspection, they also understood that Fang Hongan not only had high requirements for construction, but was also very proficient in this area and had many ideas.

When I received Fang Hongan’s call this time, I dared not neglect it.

After the group welcomed Fang Hongan in.

In the temporary meeting room, the leader of the construction team reported the progress of the processing plant in detail.

According to him, based on the current progress, the construction will be completed in about ten days.

The subsequent equipment procurement and entry will probably take about fifteen days.

That means it will take at least another month to go into production.

After he finished speaking, it was the turn of the supervisor from the Construction Committee.

He took out various supervision and acceptance records.

It was so detailed that even Fang Hongan felt it was a bit excessive.

After coming out of the meeting room, Fang Hongan asked them to lead him around the entire processing plant as usual.

Let Wang Tongjun and Fang Honghai fully familiarize themselves with the processing plant.

During this process, the two people were introduced to the construction team.

It was learned that these two people would represent Fang Hongan and be responsible for the connection between Linyuan Bee Farm and the construction team.

The construction team did not dare to be negligent.

Temporary dormitories were immediately arranged.

Fang Hongan stayed with the two of them at the construction site for two days, until they both got into the right state.

Just returned to the rental house.

It wasn't long before he returned to the rental house.

Liao San and Pang Sishun came up in a hurry.

Fang Hongan had long anticipated the arrival of these two people.

But what he didn't expect was.

These two people were not only a little anxious.

It also brought some very explosive news.

Recently, in addition to Linyuan honey, a lot of bottled honey has suddenly appeared on the market.

This honey has no brand and no one knows where it is produced.

But the price is much cheaper than Linyuan honey.

At present, the sales of Linyuan honey have been impacted in the market.
