Chapter 195 Village
This longan forest is quite huge. It is scattered around the village. The trees are very old. If you look at the size of the trees carefully, they are not as big as those you can see from the balcony of Miss Liujie’s house in Manzhou. The famous Zhangba Longan Forest Film.
The Zhangba Longan Forest is a flat dam along the river due to years of siltation and stone accumulation caused by the intersection of the Tuojiang River and the Yangtze River. There are more than 10,000 longan trees that are more than a century old growing there.
Although the number of longan trees in Zhongba is much smaller, only more than 200, but judging from the height of the tree, the spread width of the crown, and the thickness of the trunk, it is not as old as the Zhangba longan forest. The trees are young.
A small village spreads out in an orderly manner among the wild Guilin.
Most of the farmers' households in the village have yellow mud walls and green tile roofs, and the mud walls are painted with a thick layer of chalk.
Basically, it is the standard layout of southwest residential buildings with one front and two sides and one open dam in the middle.
The land around the farmhouse is used very efficiently. There are mostly thorny trees and shrubs around the back of the house, usually citrus, and Bashu's famous crop-Panthoxylum bungeanum.
Both plants have sharp thorns, which can provide some protection, and underneath are chicken pens, duck houses, and goose sheds.
Jiangxin Island is the favorite place for birds of prey in the sky to visit. These are the valuable experiences summed up by the island residents who have been fighting against nature for thousands of years.
Along the way, two kinds of fragrant scents gradually floated in the air.
One is flue-cured tobacco and the other is flue-cured wine.
Although it is the slack season for farming, there is really no time for farmers to relax all year round.
Smelling these two smells, Zhou Zhi suddenly reacted: "Yes, this county is also famous for its liquor and moist soil. As long as the climate is suitable, the best crops are probably not vegetables, but ..."
"Tobacco. "Among the cash crops, tobacco is unique. As long as the quality is excellent and you know how to bake it, even if you don't take it out, you can still save a lot for your own consumption.
The expected barking of dogs has not happened yet. The environment here is extremely peaceful, with only one characteristic - silence.
No one seems willing to break the tranquility. Apart from the chirping of birds in the forest, the only sound left is the clicking sound of bamboo sticks on the stone slabs.
Finally, after passing through several more farmhouses and farmland, the friends came to a relatively "prosperous" area and finally saw people.
Zhou Zhi heard the barking of dogs in the distance.
This is a relatively concentrated group of buildings. In the center of the building complex is an antique and extraordinary large manor.
There are many rooms in the manor, which can accommodate dozens of families, but it has a courtyard layout that is rare in southern Sichuan.
On the lintel of the stone door under the eaves at the entrance of the manor, five upright Chinese characters "福" are engraved. Traces of gold paint can also be seen in a few strokes.
Outside the manor is a small square. At one end of the square there are millstones, rollers and other slightly larger agricultural tools, as well as an old longan tree. Under the tree is a well with a stone fence.
Surrounded by houses with blue bricks and tiles.
The arrival of the stranger quickly alarmed the residents in the surrounding houses, and many people came out of their houses to watch.
There was a long wooden sign with black letters on a white background hanging on the side door next to the manor. Someone heard the noise and came out. It was a man wearing a military uniform without epaulets and a military cap without an insignia. : "Hey, where did you come from? What are you doing here?"
"Hello, Uncle." When encountering this kind of situation, it's time for Zhou Zhi to show up: "We are students from Jiachuan Middle School. We heard that there is a Zhongba under Rongshan Mountain which is very beautiful, so we came here specially for a trip."
< br>"Travel...travel?" The man seemed not very familiar with this word.
"It's just fun, just play around!" Zhou Zhi had to explain in another way. "Ouch!" said the man: "Is there anything fun on Zhongba Island?!"
"Yes, if nothing else, uncle, the big courtyard behind you is very interesting!"
"Hehehehe..." The man was actually very proud of the courtyard behind him, Zhou Zhi said The words simply scratched the itch: "Wufu Manor, there are few things that we in Zhongba Village can use!"
"Uncle, please don't bully us for not understanding. Zhongba sugar cane, we have Jiachuan People grow up from snacks; and Sesame sugar, brown sugar and white sugar; there are also sesame poles made of sesame sugar, and rice krispie treats made of white sugar;"
"There are also pepper forests and longan trees on the island. These longan trees are at least hundreds of years old. Trees are old from root to root The pillar of wealth left by our ancestors!"
"Hahaha..." The man was very happy: "You have to be a thief, you are a poisonous person!"
"Uncle, what's your surname? He should be the branch secretary of Zhongba Village, right?"
"Come in first and sit down, and all the classmates will come in and sit down." The man greeted warmly, and then turned to the side room that should be the kitchen. Shout: "Housekeeper! There's a visitor at home!"
"Yeah, I got it!" A female voice inside agreed, then wiped her hands and walked out of the wing: "Oh, it's very cool!"
It's not very cool, I guarantee one. He had never seen any of them before. Zhou Zhi smiled secretly and lamented the simplicity of today's folk customs.
After entering the main room, everyone sat down and chatted. Only then did Zhou Zhi realize that the person in front of him was the village party secretary of Zhongba Village. He was also the director of the supply and marketing station of Zhongba Village, Shiba Town, Jiangjin County, the militia platoon leader, and Jiangjin The director of the Zhongba Village Purchasing and Sales Station of the County Agricultural Materials Company, and even the non-staff director of the post office...
In short, there are thousands of threads at the top and a needle at the bottom. For anything in Zhongba, just go to him.
By the way, this person’s surname is Jiang, Party Secretary Jiang Hongxing.
"Hey, Party Secretary, your surname is Jiang too?" Zhou Zhi couldn't help but be a little surprised: "We also have a surname Jiang here!"
Jiang Hongxing had already glanced at Jiang Shuyi a few times. Yes, big hand Wei: "Don't say it yet! Let me guess!"
After saying that, he pointed his hand at Jiang Shuyi: "Such a girl! She belongs to Jiangqiao of Rongshan Agricultural Machinery Station and Du Yufen's family of Supply and Marketing Cooperative! Isn't that right? ?”
"Enemies!" Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "That's it, she is the daughter of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Du, Jiang Shuyi."
Jiang Shuyi quickly nodded to Jiang Hongxing: "Hello, Uncle Jiang, you know me My parents?"
Zhou Zhi couldn't help feeling that Jiachuan was too small, and it was still a matter of relationship even though they were out of the county, so he smiled and said, "If they both have the surname Jiang, they should be relatives, right? Don't be too busy shouting, it's more serious to talk about seniority."
Jiang Hongxing slapped her thigh: "It's really hard to talk about relatives, but they are more intimate than ordinary relatives. "One lost."
"The ancestor of our Laojiang family was the Zhuxi Tuesou, who served as Ding'an Gong Jiang Yuanjiang. In the Ming Dynasty, he served as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion."< br>
"Ding'an Gong is from Jiulongpu, Jiangjin County, Chongqing Prefecture. Our clan is passed down from him."
"Shu Yi's father is from the Sihe Township, Neijiang, and we Not to mention relatives.”
“Then why does Uncle Jiang say that relatives are better than relatives?”
"This girl still looks like her father, and her eyes are like her mother's!" Jiang Hongxing looked at Jiang Shuyi cheerfully, commented first, and then said: "Hey! Let's talk about this, then It’s really a big dragon gate formation!”
