Chapter 375: Turning Bangjie Village into a tourist attraction

  Hubei.

  A family home in Jingzhou.

 At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Wei and Gu Caixiao returned home.

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Caixiao greeted: "Dad, Mom, we are back!"

 Actually, given their family’s financial conditions, the couple can move out and there is no need to live with their parents.

However, some people are not willing to live with their parents, but some people are very willing to live with their parents, and Lu Wei and Gu Caixiao are undoubtedly the latter.

Seeing her daughter-in-law return, Mother Lu immediately went up to her with a smile on her face and asked, "Xiaoxiao, have you eaten? If not, I will cook you a bowl of noodles."

Gu Caixiao smiled and said, "Mom, there's no need to work, we've already eaten."

 Father Lu was drinking tea in the living room and asked with a smile on his face: "Xiaoxiao, is your grandma's hand healed?"

Gu Caixiao said: "It's almost better. As long as you don't lift heavy objects, it's basically no big deal."

When Deng Shirong returned to the village, he saw that the villagers were also exterminating rats. Not only rats, but also field mice were exterminated in this way. He looked at it as a pity.

 In the afternoon, when Deng Shirong was sitting at the door burning cigarettes, Deng Yungui came over.

Lu Wei put away his luggage, called his wife over to drink tea, and then sighed with his parents: "Dad, Mom, I was really shocked when I went to my sister-in-law's partner's house this time."

After Deng Changbiao (Deng Shirong's apprentice) finished making these large vats, he picked up the hookah next to him, took out a lighter and tobacco from his pocket, and prepared to burn a few pipes of cigarettes before going home.

Deng Yungui was just the boss of the vat and tile factory, not a vat master. Naturally, he did not have the same sentiments as Uncle Jiu. He confirmed Uncle Jiu’s idea, and then said: "Uncle Jiu, after finishing the last kiln goods, I will tell the workers Announced that the Cylinder Tile Factory was disbanded."

At that time, the two younger sons, Deng Yunhua and Deng Yunheng, also participated in it. They caught voles and sold them to earn some pocket money.

Lu Wei smiled bitterly and said: "I have a millionaire net worth before I was thirty years old. I originally thought I was quite powerful, but I never expected that my sister-in-law's father, a native of the countryside, would become a native of rural China after the country's reform and opening up. , it only took a few years to earn at least several million, which is really shocking. "

Gu Caixiao continued: "I heard that he took the lead and opened two companies with the whole clan, one is a passenger transportation company, and the other is a food company. That Master Kong instant noodles is a product launched by their food company. It is in my natal home in Wuhan. There is also a branch factory there!”

In the previous life, in the mid-1990s, many people in Shuangwang began to buy voles, and the prices were not low. As a result, all the mouse cages were sold out at that time. Young people in each village would buy several mouse cages and put them back to catch voles. That's pocket money.

Deng Shirong said: "After all, I have been dealing with Gongwa for decades. I have to remember it when I get old. Even if Gongwa is really gone and no one uses it in the future, there is still a place where I can show my grandchildren the things passed down by our ancestors." craft."

Father and mother Lu were surprised when they heard this. A Wuyue Plaza cost at least several million. The lower floors were used for business by the children, and the top floors were used as residences. They were decorated as beautifully as an ancient palace.

 …

After greeting each other, Deng Yungui said: "Uncle Jiu, the business of the cylinder tile factory can no longer make much money. I am too lazy to run out every month and plan to stop the business of the cylinder tile factory. What do you think? "

Father Lu was a little surprised when he heard this and said, "That's really impressive. What kind of business does Weiwei's family do?"

The reproductive capacity of rats is really strong. If left unchecked, it will be very troublesome once it becomes rampant, especially voles. They will feed on crops, grains and other agricultural products, causing a major impact on agricultural production. threaten.

Deng Shirong put the cut tobacco into the mouth of the chimney and said: "Then let's announce it. Anyway, almost all the workers in the cylinder tile factory are from the same clan, and everyone is not short of money now."

Nowadays, no one has purchased voles, so poisoning them with poison bait is really a waste.

Deng Shirong lit the tobacco with a lighter, took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said: "You can stop if you want. It's a waste of time to keep fussing with it. But after all, this tile factory has been with me for so many years. I'm going to contract it out and put it there." , whenever your hands feel itchy, go and experience the feeling of making tiles.”

At that time, the fields in the village were full of rat traps. They were harvested in the evening and in the morning. At the beginning, everyone had a harvest, and no rat traps were empty.

The whole house covers an area of ​​three thousand square meters. All the decorations are made of precious wood, and the various carvings and decorations are extremely exquisite. It is the first time in my life that I have seen such a beautiful house. It is really an eye-opener. "

Vole and mouse are two different family classifications. Voles belong to the family Hamsteridae, while mice belong to the rodent family Muridae.

 Later, the master took the lead in establishing a passenger transport company. Out of trust in the master, he invested all his wealth in it and took a lot of shares. Later, the passenger transport company distributed dividends, which naturally brought him huge returns.

Lu Wei took a sip of tea and continued to sigh: "Dad, Mom, you will never imagine how beautiful my sister-in-law's partner's house is. It is no exaggeration to say that it is really similar to an ancient palace.

 It seems that his future in-law is also a great and capable person!

 …

Here, it is necessary to clarify that some people in the north mistakenly think that voles are mice, which is actually wrong.

Mother Lu became curious after hearing her son's compliment, and asked her daughter-in-law carefully about the family situation of her future brother-in-law.

a week later.

The voles eaten by people in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian generally live in the fields and are specialized in damaging crops. However, many of the rats mentioned by Abiao in other provinces live at home, or in places such as sewers and garbage dumps. Not to mention this kind of rats. If you eat it, you will feel nauseous just looking at it, and not many people can stomach it.

 Cylinder tile factory.

When the mooncake factory added canning equipment and prepared eight-treasure porridge, the county also launched a large-scale rodent eradication campaign with great vigor. A total of 210,000 kilograms of poisonous baits were put in, killing more than 5.1 million rats, which greatly reduced the number of rats. Suffer.

 Since the master and Uncle Yungui contracted out the vat tile factory and he served as one of the vat masters, his family's living standard has undergone earth-shaking changes, and he has become one of the most economically prosperous people in the village.

Father Lu and Mother Lu couldn't help but look at each other. Their family had eaten Master Kong's braised beef noodles a lot. They didn't expect that this was a product launched by the food company of Weiwei's partner's family. It could bring the branch factory from Guangxi. It was built in Wuhan, and the business is indeed big enough.

Deng Yungui nodded and stopped mentioning the matter. The current income from the cylinder tile factory was no longer worth mentioning for the two of them.

Especially in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, people have various ways of eating voles all year round, whether in summer or winter, such as steaming rat meat in summer, or stir-frying voles with other vegetables. There is also another way to eat voles. It's direct grilling.

Until more and more people put rat cages behind them, and fewer and fewer voles were caught, everyone’s harvest gradually became less and less. It was common for the rat cages to be empty.

Because the nutritional value of voles is very high, there is even a saying in some places that eating one vole is as good as three chickens.

Mother Lu glanced at her son and asked, "What hit you?"

 No matter what it is, as long as there are people eating it, there will naturally be a market.

Deng Yungui laughed and said, "Uncle Jiu, you are the only one who has such leisure."

 Bobai County.

Then Lu Wei and Gu Caixiao told each other the details of this trip to Guangxi one by one.

Also, when the food company was established, he also tried his best and invested a lot of money into it, and finally reaped sweet fruits.

 The passenger transport company and the food company have brought huge benefits to Deng Changbiao. If ordinary people had such a large income, they would definitely not be a vat master anymore. After all, vat masters make money, but they are also very hardworking.

However, Deng Changbiao is still working on his big vats in the cylinder tile factory.

 The only change is that the size of the large tank is about one-third less than before, and it is not as hard-working as before.

Just when Deng Changbiao was about to burn the smoke, Deng Yungui came over.

Deng Changbiao then greeted: "Uncle Yungui."

Deng Yungui sat opposite him and said, "Ah Biao, our cylinder tile factory will be disbanded after finishing this batch of goods."

When Deng Changbiao heard this, he couldn't help but pause for a moment while stuffing his cigarette, and asked: "Uncle Yungui, is it true that the cylinder tile factory can't survive?" The recent business of the cylinder tile factory is not good. This is something everyone knows, and everyone knows that. Sooner or later the cylinder tile factory would be unable to open at this rate, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

Deng Yungui said: "You also know how the business of the cylinder tile factory is going recently. It is indeed becoming more and more difficult. Anyway, I am too lazy to bother."

Deng Changbiao put the tobacco into the mouth of the chimney and asked, "Uncle Yungui, does my master know about this?"

Deng Yungui said: "I have told Uncle Jiu about this a few days ago. Uncle Jiu also wants to disband it, but he will contract the cylinder tile factory by himself again and stop working on it, just like that. Just think about it, after all, Uncle Jiu has been dealing with the cylinder tile factory for decades, and he still has a deep affection for the cylinder tile factory. "

Deng Changbiao lit the tobacco with a lighter, took a few puffs of cigarette, and then said after a while: "Then load the last batch of goods into the kiln, so that I can have a good rest and don't have to work so hard every day. "

That's what he said, but at this moment, he actually felt a little empty in his heart.

He started here as a small apprentice and then became a vat master that everyone in the village envied. He has been here for a full fifteen years. How many fifteen years can there be in this life? It's impossible to say that you don't have feelings when you work in one place for a long time.

Deng Yungui understood his mood, reached out and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "Although the cylinder tile factory has been disbanded, the cylinder tile factory still exists. When Master Qi takes over the contract, you can come over and play when your hands are itchy.

Moreover, now that you are not short of money, there is really no need to work so hard anymore. You can just relax and have fun. If you want to do any business, go to your master and ask him to give you some advice. "

"I know Uncle Yungui, after working for so many years, he is indeed tired. Let's go back and have a good rest for a while. Let's talk about business later!"

"Well, go back. Remember to come and help when you install the kiln." "Okay."

 …

After returning to the village, Deng Shirong would go to both sides of the newly dug river every night and quietly release a few boulders.

He did not place the boulders randomly, but used his space ability to collectively move the boulders on both sides of the river in one direction, and then inserted new boulders in the middle. In this way, the tribesmen would not notice the changes in these boulders.

The main reason is that this boulder project is too huge. Although the tribesmen work hard to carry boulders on the stone mountain every day, so far, only about one-third of the boulders on both sides of the river have been filled. At this rate, it will not be until next year at least. Only then can both sides of the river be filled in.

Deng Shirong didn’t want to waste so much manpower filling it in, so he adopted this method to quietly speed up the filling process.

Now, the base layer and cushion layer of the 60-meter-wide village road have been completed, and only the cement on the road surface needs to be hardened.

 As for the construction of the villa complex, the foundations are currently being dug. Once all the foundations are dug, the brickwork will be laid out uniformly.

In Bobai, when building a house, the brickwork is very particular. You have to ask a master to calculate the good and auspicious days, and invite relatives and friends to come and participate.

The villas are being built together to invite all the relatives and friends of the Nayedeng family. The scene is definitely bigger than the previous ancestral halls for raising seats and worshiping ancestors.

After all, whether it is to raise a throne in the ancestral hall or to worship ancestors, we only invite the eldest sister and the clan members from all over the country. How can the number of people be compared with the relatives and friends of the whole clan?

 …

As the sixth month of the lunar calendar comes to an end, the tile factory officially announces its dissolution after selling the last batch of goods and settling the wages of the workers.

This tile factory was contracted by Deng Shirong and Deng Yungui in partnership in May 1980. It is now June 1989, a total of more than nine years.

Over the past nine years, the Cylinder Tile Factory has made great contributions, bringing an income of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan to Deng Shirong and Deng Yungui.

After the cylinder tile factory was disbanded, Deng Shirong signed a new contract with the village for a period of 40 years.

He is now building Bangjie Village according to his ideas. The villa complex is a major attraction, the village road is also a major attraction, the exquisite and luxurious ancestral hall is also a major attraction, and the Litchi Mountain of the tribe is also a very important attraction. More attractive attractions will be created in the future.

As for the vat tile factory, he plans to keep it until their village becomes a nationally renowned tourist attraction in the future. Showing the vat technology in front of tourists will not only open their eyes, but also make the vat tile factory a The scenery in the village is also very good.

Not only the cylinder tile factory, but also the bowl factory in the village. When it can no longer operate, he plans to contract it out as well.

These things are naturally not worth mentioning in this era, but in later generations, it will be difficult to see such small rural factories across the country. If they are preserved, these traditional arts can be displayed to tourists and even allow tourists to get started. operate.

 In this way, it will definitely attract many tourists who are interested in this aspect.

The more attractions there are in the village, the stronger the competitiveness will naturally be.

With more people coming to visit, not only the Yedeng family will benefit, but the entire Bangjie village and even Shuangwang will benefit from this.

Think about Bangjie Village in the previous life. It was a completely sterile place. When those tribesmen who worked and lived in the city brought their wives and children back during the holidays, they were often disliked by their wives and children. Many of them even grew up in the city. The tribesmen would not be willing to return to their hometown if their grandfather or father hadn't urged them to do so.

In this life, if Deng Shirong can turn Bangjie Village and several surrounding villages into a tourist attraction, then not only the tribesmen who work and live outside will want to come back during the holidays, but tourists from all over the country will also be eager to come and visit.

If such a day really comes, it would be exciting just to think about it.

 …

 When the cylinder tile factory was disbanded, the village road also began to undergo the final hardening of the cement pavement.

Because of the help of machines and the large number of people working in the tribe, it only took five days to harden five-sixths of the road, and the remaining one-sixth had to wait until the cement road could be opened to traffic. , do it again.

This is indeed not as good as the asphalt of later generations. People just laid it and waited for the asphalt to cool down slightly before it could be opened to traffic, which was faster.

On both sides of the village road and in the middle, tree pits have been dug according to Deng Shirong's requirements. When the time is right, the ginkgo trees can be transplanted slowly.

 In a blink of an eye, it’s July 14th again, and this festival is still very important to Bobai people.

In Bobai, people have to make offerings to Grandpa during every year and festival. Unless they really can’t get away, the tribesmen will try their best to come back for the festival.

Deng Shirong was in his hometown, so naturally his sons, daughters-in-law also rushed back to their hometown to celebrate the festival.

Killing ducks to celebrate the festival on July 14th is a long-standing custom of Bobai people. However, in the past, people's conditions were not very good. Many families were reluctant to kill ducks, but instead made more economical and affordable ducks. Slowly in July It has also become a custom to eat Gaizhen on the fourteenth day.

Nowadays, no family in Naye Village is short of money. Naturally, every household kills ducks to celebrate the festival. Some families don't mind the trouble and will also steam and eat wild ducks.

Deng Shirong was too lazy to make a cover this year. After he killed a native duck, he put it whole in a pot and cooked it.

According to the custom here, you cannot offer raw meat to Grandpa. It must be cooked at home, and a pinch of salt should be put on the duck (the same goes for other chickens or pork) and served in a small bowl. Six bowls of rice, chopsticks, tea and wine.

Finally, take the gold and silver incense paper and go to offer it to Grandpa.

 Because Deng Shirong killed native ducks that had been raised for a long time, the cooking time had to be a little longer, otherwise they would not be able to bite when they were cooked and eaten.

While Deng Shirong was busy in the kitchen, Deng Yuntai boasted to his brothers and sisters under the longan tree: "I have been in Liuzhou for such a long time this time. Do you know what impressed me most about Liuzhou?"

Deng Yunzhu blinked and joked: "Brother, aren't the girls in Liuzhou pretty?"

Deng Yuntai glared at her and said to his wife quickly: "Mei Ping, don't listen to this girl's nonsense. You know who I am."

Zhang Xiuping pursed her lips and smiled. She knew exactly who her husband was. She couldn't help but smile and asked, "What is the deepest impression on you in Liuzhou?"

Deng Yuntai clicked his tongue and said: "It's a bowl of noodles called snail noodles. The taste of this noodles is really amazing. The more I eat it, the more addictive it becomes. After staying in Liuzhou for such a long time, I have to eat a bowl of snail noodles almost every day." ”

In this era, snail noodles were not as famous as they would be in later generations. In Liuzhou, the birthplace of the dish, it had only just emerged a few years ago. You could not eat snail noodles in other cities.

Zhang Xiuping said in surprise: "Snail noodles? Why is the name of this powder so strange?"

Deng Yuntai smiled and said: "This snail is the field snail here. Over there in Liuzhou, the field snail is called snail, so that's why this snail noodle got its name."

Deng Yunzhu asked doubtfully: "Brother, how delicious is the rice noodles cooked with snails?"

Deng Yuntai smiled and said: "I don't know the specific method, but the snails are just a condiment in the snail noodle soup. I don't know how to describe the taste of this snail noodle to you. Anyway, this should be the most special taste I have ever tasted." Planted powder."

Deng Yunhua asked: "Brother, how do you compare with your old friends and fans in Nanning?"

 “Each has its own merits.”

Deng Yuntai thought for a while and added: "However, compared to Laoyou noodles, the taste of this snail noodles is more unique. In addition to rice noodles, there are also sour bamboo shoots, shredded fungus, peanuts, fried yuba, day lily, etc." The side dishes are really delicious. ”

Deng Yunzhu couldn't help but swallowed her saliva, and said depressedly: "When we had never been to Nanning before, the second brother and the third brother played hard to be fans of the old friends, which made us greedy. Now that the fans of the old friends are eaten, brother, you are here again Let’s start talking about this snail rice noodle, but the key is that we can’t eat it, it’s really terrible!”

Zhang Xiuping echoed: "That's right, it's really annoying to know that we can't eat and still brag as hard as we can!"

Deng Yuntai smiled and said: "It's not that far from Nanning to Liuzhou, and our home has a supermarket there. Isn't it easy to go there?"

Deng Shirong just walked out and asked: "Who wants to go to Liuzhou?"

Deng Yunzhu smiled and said: "Dad, brother is telling us how delicious the snail noodles are. When the time is right, we will go to Liuzhou. Anyway, I already have experience in running a hot pot restaurant, and it is time to open a branch."

Deng Shirong said: "Snail rice noodles are indeed unique. This should be the most unique rice noodles in Guangxi. Its taste is polarizing. People who like it like it very much, and people who don't like it can't stand the smell."

Deng Yunzhu said in surprise: "Dad, have you ever eaten this snail rice noodle?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said: "Of course I have eaten it. There is no rice noodle in Guangxi that I haven't eaten before."

Speaking of this snail noodle, when Deng Shirong founded the food company, he once thought about promoting it nationwide, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up. Later generations of snail noodle became popular all over the country and the world, mainly due to the short-term The dissemination of videos and the convenience of online ordering.

 But now we obviously do not have such conditions. Let’s not talk about how difficult it is to mass-produce snail noodles. Let’s talk about how to make people accept this snail noodles. It is a big problem.

 There are so many products available, there is no need to choose this snail noodle.
