Goldfinger is a bit strange
Chapter 198: Building a House (1/2)
"Qingshan, how about these objects?"
Uncle Lu followed Liu Qingshan out of the restaurant, got on the jeep, and opened the canvas bag.
There were some jade articles wrapped in newspapers inside. Liu Qingshan opened one and took a look. It was also a jade pig dragon.
Anyway, with his appreciation level and ability, it looked the same as the real thing, and he couldn't tell the difference.
He even took off the one he was wearing around his neck and compared them. They were exactly the same.
If one of them hadn't been tied with a red string, he would have been confused and couldn't tell which one was real and which one was fake.
"Uncle, your craftsmanship is simply amazing. It seems that I really have to call you Master Lu in the future!"
Liu Qingshan praised him.
Uncle Lu shook his head: "It's a trick, there's nothing to show off."
"Hehe, it depends on who is tricked. We only trick the Japanese with bad intentions, haha!"
Liu Qingshan felt happy just thinking about it and couldn't help laughing.
Uncle Lu was a little worried: "Will there be any trouble?"
"Don't worry, it's the little devil who is greedy. When the time comes, he will have to swallow his anger."
Liu Qingshan was not worried at all. Since this matter has been planned for so long, and now it is about to be closed, of course he can't let it go easily.
Liu Qingshan simply didn't look at the remaining dozen pieces of jade. Anyway, with his eyesight, it would be useless to look at them.
Driving to the market for a walk, he happened to come across a pork seller. No meat ticket was required, and the price per catty was 20 cents more expensive.
By 1984, the live pig market had gradually opened up.
Liu Qingshan immediately paid for several catties and sent two catties to Principal Xu's family, enough to satisfy their cravings.
Driving back to Jiapigou, Liu Qingshan, in a good mood, cooked several dishes, one of which was fried monkey legs with shredded pork, which tasted fragrant and smooth, and Master Lu praised it again and again.
Liu Qingshan also specially called Zhang Piezi to accompany Master Lu for a drink.
After dinner, he went to take a look at the Langmu, and Master Lu was amazed:
"This thing must be valuable. Qingshan, you must keep it well. It may be a valuable asset in the future!"
Liu Qingshan nodded in response, and also talked about Zhang Piezi to see if he could learn the craft from Master Lu.
Master Lu agreed, but he only knew about the antique business and was a layman in the art of carving.
Fortunately, he knew an old professor at the Chuncheng Academy of Fine Arts, and he could introduce Zhang Piezi to him when the time comes.
He also told Zhang Piezi that it would be best if he could make a Langmu carving as a stepping stone. Old professors of that level would not easily accept students.
Zhang Piezi was immediately excited. How could he, a rural child who had just graduated from elementary school, dare to think of such an opportunity?
The next day, Liu Qingshan carried a shovel and led Master Lu up the mountain. They worked hard for a whole day before returning.
Master Lu had business in Chuncheng, so he couldn't stay longer. Liu Qingshan sent him and Zhang Piezi to the county and took the train back to Chuncheng.
It was the first time for Zhang Piezi to leave home. He felt a little reluctant, but more excited.
He was holding a cloth bag in his arms, which contained a piece of wave wood carving he had figured out in the past two days. Liu Qingshan had also seen it, but didn't see anything special.
It seems that his artistic cells are just like this.
"Second brother, don't worry. When we get to Chuncheng, Brother Dalong will take care of us, as well as Brother Fei and Gangzi."
Liu Qingshan didn't forget to comfort Zhang Piezi.
Zhang Piezi nodded heavily: "Qingshan, I won't come back if I don't learn my skills well!"
Liu Qingshan waved goodbye to them. He knew that people like Zhang Piezi never lack confidence and fighting spirit. What they lack is opportunities.
After returning to Jiapigou, Liu Qingshan no longer had to go up the mountain every day. Only one group was left to pick wild vegetables. Now that the peak season had passed, it would be a waste to have more people.
So, the house building was put on the agenda.
The raw materials had been transported back a long time ago. If it hadn't been for the busy picking of wild vegetables during this period, I'm afraid the ground would have been broken long ago.
This was the first brick and tile house built in Jiapigou, which attracted much attention from the villagers. Everyone was ready to see how it went. If it was good, they were also ready to rebuild the house.
With some extra money in hand, everyone's mind became active, and the two things that farmers were most concerned about were: one was land, and the other was house.
According to the older generation: buying a house and land is always a serious matter.
But problems also arise. When it comes to building a mud and thatched house, everyone can help, but when it comes to building a brick house, they can only stare blankly.
They really don't know how to do bricklaying and carpentry.
Take brick wall construction for example. If the brick wall is crooked or collapsed, it will be a joke. So we have to find a professional team.
Forget about the construction companies in the county. Public institutions are all like big shots. It is impossible to hire them.
Finally, the boss introduced a small engineering team in the commune: a master named Wu, led by two sons, formed a family engineering team. It is said that they have good skills.
Liu Qingshan took the boss to the commune, and the two sides agreed on the price and officially started the construction.
In May and June, before the rainy season, the house can basically be built.
In addition to the three Wu family members who worked as bricklayers, Liu Qingshan also hired a lot of small workers, such as digging foundations and mixing sand and mud, which also required a lot of people.
This project is not small. There are five large houses in a row, and there are also three chicken coops. It is really busy with so few people.
Building a house is really a busy job for people. Either this thing or that thing is missing. Even if there are a few foreign nails missing, Liu Qingshan has to run.
He was so busy that his mouth almost burst into flames.
As the saying goes, the busier it gets, the more chaos it adds. The village also started to get busy. The reserved plastic greenhouse materials were also shipped one after another, and a new round of greenhouse construction began in Jiapigou.
Fortunately, this time it was replaced with a steel frame, and the plastic films did not need to be spliced one by one, which saved a lot of manpower.
The plastic film used is still transparent, and only those sheds where black fungus are to be cultivated are covered with a layer of black plastic gauze to block most of the sunlight.
By the time the shed is up, Professor Wang has already cultivated the bacterial strains, and the fungus sections are almost drying, so they can be officially moved into the greenhouse.
For the cooperative in Jiapigou, this is the biggest project of the year, so it is highly valued.
Even Liu Qingshan temporarily took a break from his busy house-building business to devote his energy to the cultivation of fungus.
Most of the people in the village also gathered around the courtyard.
The racks of fungus segments were all smoked black. This was not caused by a fire, but deliberately smoked with hay under the guidance of Professor Wang.
The purpose of this is mainly to remove some pests hidden in the wood sections, as well as the undesirable bacteria that come with them.
With all preparations in place, everyone began to inoculate the bacteria under the guidance of Professor Wang and the students.
First, use an electric drill to drill holes in the wood section with appropriate horizontal and vertical spacing, basically forming a plum blossom pile shape.
Then stuff the prepared fungus block into the hole, plug the hole with corn pulp, and the agaric fungus in one hole will be planted.
The corn cobs are also soaked in water beforehand and stuffed more tightly.
From now on, this work will mainly be done by women in the village. Firstly, the labor intensity is not high, and secondly, women are more careful and are suitable for this work.
A group of old men were watching nearby, and of course they couldn't stop talking.
Zhang Ganzi also took the time to come over to watch the fun. When he saw his wife stuffing bacteria into the holes, he said with concern:
"Daughter-in-law, the corn cob must be plugged tightly."
"Don't worry, the stuffing is tight, there won't be any gaps at all."
Wang Cuihua promised with her hands quite deftly.
Da Zhangluo, who was next to him, chuckled: "Don't worry about the pole. Your wife has a good background and will definitely not get lost."
Everyone burst into laughter. The story about Zhang Gangzi getting lost on his wedding night will probably be passed down from generation to generation in Jiapigou.
Zhang Zangzi is not someone to be trifled with. If he picks up a corn cob, he will stuff it into Da Zhangluo too.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense here and build a greenhouse!"
Captain Zhang roared when he saw this, and everyone went to work.
After planting the fungus in a fungus segment, it is moved into the greenhouse and set up in rows of herringbone wooden frames, waiting for the fungus to slowly grow.
The rest is post-management, controlling temperature and humidity, and regular ventilation, which are also important.
In fact, these tasks are not difficult. Old people and children in the village can learn it. Old men and old ladies can still stuff bacteria into the fungus segments while sitting on small benches.
After several days of busy work, all the newly built greenhouses were moved into the fungus section. This work was finally concluded for the time being.
There were just too many pieces of wood cut down, and part of them was left in the end.
Of course, these cannot be wasted. They are also inserted into the bacteria and then transported directly to the mountain. Two patches of miscellaneous woods were selected and built directly into one frame after another.
The quality of fungus grown in this purely natural environment is basically the same as that of wild fungus.
After learning the whole process, the two villagers sent by Hai Dagui went back in a hurry.
They also took two of Professor Wang’s students to conduct bacterial culture and provide guidance throughout the process.
Professor Wang is preparing to take the remaining students back to school. After all, it has been almost two months since they left.
"Grandpa Wang, you can't leave. After the research on black fungus, it's time to start a new project. This time, we are going to artificially cultivate Hericium fungus."
Liu Qingshan had already planned it, how could he let him go so easily?
"You're such a small mountain boy, together we will become your long-term workers in Jiapigou, right?"
Professor Wang is really used to living here, so he happily accepted this task.
Wei Tiezhu and several other students couldn't help but feel refreshed: If the Hericium project is completed, their level and ability will continue to improve, and their future will be bright.
Liu Qingshan has tasted the artificially cultivated Hericium a few times. How to describe it: Anyway, it must be Hericium, and it cannot be said to be another species. wWw.seven
But it tastes just like chewing gum. It doesn't have the umami taste of wild Hericium at all.
Without the unique environment of nature, it loses its spirituality. Liu Qingshan really doesn't bother to grow this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, the number of wild Hericium erinaceus is too rare and cannot be scaled, so the benefits are very limited.
His idea is: artificial inoculation and natural growth in the wild environment.
In fact, it is to artificially implant bacterial strains on suitable trees in the forest, and then let Hericium erinaceus grow completely in the wild.
This is a bit more difficult and more challenging. Professor Wang led his students to focus on this new research project.
In the midst of his busy schedule, Liu Qingshan finally received a phone call from the county.
Foreign businessman Fujita Masakazu led an inspection team to Bishui County and specifically asked to go to Doubao Mountain in Jiapigou for an inspection, hoping that the village would do a good job of receiving them.
After hanging up the phone, Liu Qingshan also clenched his fist and waved it vigorously: I'm finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!
March, early spring.

The bustling streets in the past are now bleak.
The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.
Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remains, which is indistinguishable and shocking.
Not far away, a broken carriage is deeply stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.
The white fluff has long been soaked into wet red, full of gloomy weirdness.
The turbid eyes seem to have some resentment, looking at the mottled stones in front alone.
There, a figure is lying.
This is a 13 or 14-year-old boy, with tattered clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.
The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his tattered coat from all directions, attacked his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.
