Chapter 520 Building a Deer Park
Since the New Year’s Eve, the very festive atmosphere of the New Year has been accompanying the whole village, men, women and children.
The number of people coming to the village from outside has gradually increased since the first day of the new year. Many of them did not come to Changqing Village at first, because they only came to Hongyan Town to find a farm to relax. Leisure.
After all, Hongyan Town is in the nearby area, which has a beautiful environment and is not polluted by coal ash and dust.
The current leadership team of Hongyan Town is also quite creative. They found that they could not make a lot of money mining coal in this area, so they combined the regional characteristics and advantages of Hongyan Town to develop the entire town in an ingenious way. agricultural and rural tourism towns.
So in the past few years, many villages below Hongyan Town have begun to build rural features. Many people have even invested in the villages below to build villas or farms through the government.
Coupled with the comprehensive publicity by many investors and the government, the entire town has become famous locally.
However, most of the people who come here are residents of several neighboring cities nearby. If they are further away, very few people will come.
Because the transportation is really inconvenient, even though Hongyan Town has unique conditions, the passenger train has set up a station here.
But even this does not quench the thirst, after all, the current green train is really slow.
Moreover, Changqing Village is the only one among the many villages under Hongyan Town that has introduced investment from bosses. All aspects of construction are basically decided independently by the village.
But even so, Changqing Village has developed very rapidly in the past two years. For example, this village is ahead of other villages in road construction, environmental sanitation, dry toilet renovation, etc.
In addition, the village has a unique natural landscape like a big river, so the development progress is naturally ranked ahead of many village chiefs.
Taking advantage of all aspects, Changqing Village has made a name for itself in the town in the past two years.
Those tourists who didn’t know Changqing Village originally heard about such a place from other people’s mouths as soon as they arrived in the town.
When many people heard this, they immediately became interested. After all, they were all here to play, and they all came. There is such a place that everyone said they must visit.
Ever since, starting from the first day of the Lunar New Year, the number of tourists in Changqing Village has increased day by day, and people can be seen everywhere in the village.
The drying field, which was used for threshing and drying grain in the past, has been developed into a snack street and a place where people sell various handicrafts.
In addition, there are also newly repaired river embankments on both sides, which are also liked by everyone.
There are many families in the village who have started making preparations years ago and want to take advantage of the opportunity to do business that they are familiar with.
And some other people also took advantage of this time to have a good rest, go out to play when they should, and visit relatives when they should.
Zhang An also took his family to visit relatives in the past few days, visiting his grandmother in Longtoushan and Su Ying's grandparents. They spent two days together.
After returning, Zhang An heard Zhou Lan next to him saying that Zhou Yang had come to see him at noon, but they were not at home.
Zhang An originally wanted to go over and ask Zhou Yang what happened, but when he saw that almost everyone in their house was waiting for dinner, Zhou Yang and his family were already too busy to go around, so he gave up the idea. There was no past to disturb Zhou Yang who was busy.
It was not until evening that the tourists dispersed, those who lived in the town returned to the town, and those who lived in the village also took advantage of the dusk to go out for a walk along the river bank, and it became quiet at Zhou Yang's house.
After all, everything that should be eaten has been eaten by now, and their family must not be as busy as during the day.
"Yozi is here. I heard that you came to see me today for something? At that time, we took Xiao Siqi to the city to visit his maternal ancestors, so we were not at home."
Just. When Zhang An wanted to go to Zhou Yang's house to ask what happened, Zhou Yang came to the door himself.
"So that's it. I was also curious about where your family, Uncle An, went to play."
As soon as Zhang An said that he was Xiao Siqi's maternal ancestor, Zhou Yang knew This is Su Ying's grandfather.
Zhang An usually doesn't like to go out. Even if he goes out for something, there will still be people at home. Zhou Yang knows this, because Zhang An is usually there when he comes over.
"Actually, I don't have much to do here. I just came to discuss something with Uncle An. In the past two days, more and more people have come to the village. My family also has more and more people coming to our house because of the blessings of the village. There are more, so the dishes on the menu are no longer enough. Many guests come to order dishes that our family has not prepared, especially in terms of fish. Carp alone is no longer enough, so I want to tell you, Uncle An. Let’s discuss it and put all the fish you raise on the menu. If any guests need it, I’ll come and get it.”
Zhou Yang’s house originally had fish, but they were all carp, after all. There are many people eating carp in this area, and most of them are collected from fishermen.
But now the river is closed to fishing, so they buy all their fish in the town.
He didn’t take fish from Zhang An’s house before because the fish from Zhang An’s house were much better than those sold outside. When he brought it back, he priced it too high and few people were willing to eat it. If he priced it too low, it wasn’t cost-effective.
It’s different now. Many people only care about whether the work is good or not, and don’t care much about the price, as long as it’s not outrageous.
So he thought of coming over to find Zhang An. After all, he knew all the fish raised in Zhang An’s house, and he basically knew how to do it.
If he had to get fish from Zhang An in advance every morning, he was not very confident because he didn’t know how many people would order it. After all, everyone eats different things every day.
And their restaurant is not a restaurant that specializes in fish. If you take too many fish back, they will be dead and no longer fresh.
Even if it is not cured to death, just turning its belly will make the guests feel uncomfortable.
Zhang An's family is in the village, and the two families are not far apart, so Zhou Yang wants to discuss it with Zhang An. If someone orders it, he will come over to catch fish. In this way, he can catch as many fish as he wants every day without having to worry about anything else. .
"What's the point here? Just come and get whatever you need over there. It's only a few steps away and it's not too far apart, so you need to prepare something when you go back."
Zhang An agreed without even thinking about it. Even if the two families were not far apart, he would not refuse based on their close relationship.
"Thank you, Uncle An. When the time comes, the price for the fish will be the same as that of Boss Lu. I can't let Uncle An and your family suffer."
Zhang An agreed so readily, Zhou Yang was not surprised at all. After all, they were so familiar with each other and he knew Zhang An relatively well.
But the price for the fish was his own initiative. After all, if Zhang An had spoken, he would have sold it to them at a low price.
That is not what he wants, because he takes these fish back just to make money. If Zhang An sells them to him at a low price and then he uses them to make money, this will definitely not work.
As for the price of the fish, Zhou Yang wanted to get it at the same price as Fatty Lu. He already knew this after coming to help catch fish several times.
"Why is it so expensive? You don't use much fish every day, so you don't need such a high price."
Even though Zhou Yang's family has a good business and many customers, Zhang An knows There won’t be many fish that can be used in a day,
They were all from inside and outside the village, and Zhang An didn't even think about making any money from him.
“No need, Uncle An, your fish is good and it’s totally worth the price. Besides, I will definitely make some money when I take it back, otherwise why would I be willing to work hard.”
Zhou Yangxiao He said with a smile, blocking Zhang An's words.
Actually, there is a reason why he is unwilling to get fish from Zhang An at a low price.
On the one hand, the fish is too good, so he will not lose money, and on the other hand, he does not want Zhang An to start this thing. After all, they are not the only ones running restaurants in the village, there are several others. If they open this restaurant now, other companies will know about it and they will definitely want to do the same.
Of course, Zhou Yang didn’t say it and Zhang An didn’t expect it either.
Otherwise, he would lament that Zhou Yang and Zhou Shuanglin, father and son, have completely the same temperament.
When Zhou's sister-in-law broke her leg in the mountains, Zhang An drove them to the hospital in a car.
At that time, Zhou Shuanglin would insist on giving the gas money to Zhang An, in order to prevent Zhang An from getting off to a bad start and to prevent those people in the village who like to take advantage of the situation from coming to Zhang An.
"That's up to you. Anyway, you can catch it yourself when you need it. If I'm not at home, just tell my parents or your aunt."
Seeing that Zhou Yang kept insisting, Zhang An didn't Persuade again.
Time passed slowly, and the village was still as lively as the previous few days.
Days like this lasted until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
As soon as the seventh day of the lunar month passed, and on the eighth day of the lunar month, big things began to happen in the village.
Starting on the morning of the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, truckloads of building materials began to be brought into the village. This was something Zhang Jianwen had already contacted years ago.
The first place to start is the deer park that has been decided before.
After the building materials arrived, Zhang Jianwen led the people in the village to start building the deer park.
Why does it have to be on the eighth day of the lunar month? Because in everyone’s eyes, the first to the first day of the lunar new year are still the New Year period.
It is said that when Nuwa created all things, the animals she created on the first day were chickens; the animals she created on the second day were dogs; the animals she created on the third day were pigs; and the animals she created on the fourth day were sheep. The cow was created on the fifth day; the horse was created on the sixth day; and man was created on the seventh day.
Therefore, the first day of the lunar calendar has always been a chicken, the second day is a dog, the third day is a pig, the fourth day is a sheep, the fifth day is an ox, and the sixth day is a horse.
Until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, it is life, and this life is the life of your birthday.
Therefore, in everyone's eyes, the period from the 30th to the 7th day of the Lunar New Year is the Chinese New Year period.
I have been busy for a whole year on weekdays, so I naturally have to take a good rest these days, and eat and drink much better than usual, so that I can be worthy of my busy work all year round.
Only when the seventh day of the Lunar New Year is over can the new year be considered complete.
It turns out that the New Year is not celebrated until after the fifteenth Lantern Festival, but that is a time when there is nothing to be busy with, so everyone naturally wants to rest for a few more days.
But things are different now. There are so many big moves in the village waiting for everyone to take action.
So on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, even if it is the last day of the New Year, everyone starts to get busy on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Another reason is that everyone thinks the eighth day of the lunar month is a good day, because the word "eight" has a homophonic pronunciation in everyone's mouth, which means getting rich.
I think Zhang Jianwen put a lot of effort into the construction of Deer Park.
The land alone is several acres, because the deer park is divided into two parts.
Part of it is a deer pen dedicated to raising deer. This part is built with brick walls and the roof must be covered tightly.
The other part is an open-air dam where deer can be let out to bask in the sun during the day. Although it is not as free as Zhang An’s herd of deer, it definitely exceeds 90% of artificial breeding. field.
And the dam site needs to be surrounded by a fence, so that people can see the deer inside from the outside.
This is the biggest difference between a deer park and an ordinary deer shed.
Because the construction area of Deer Park is very large and there are many craftsmen working on it, the movement is relatively loud, so much so that many people are very curious about what is going on and don’t go to other places to play. They just gather around here to watch. Let Zhang Jianjun and the others work.
“Fellow fellows, what are you preparing to do here? It doesn’t look like building a house to me.”
Because it is near the grain drying field, there are not many people watching. , many of whom are very curious.
They originally thought that villagers were going to build a house here, but after looking at it for a long time, they found that it was not a house at all, because a house for people to live in would never be that big.
So some talkative people started asking the people working inside.
"Haha, we are indeed not building a house here, but we are planning to build a deer park dedicated to raising deer, so we built it wider. When you come in two months, you will be able to see the deer raised in our village here. Deer.”
The person who answered was Zhang Jianjun, because many people in the village are not very good at talking to people in the city.
Zhang Jianjun is different because he has been a contractor for a long time, so talking to people is no longer a problem.
When someone asked about this, Zhang Jianjun didn’t hide anything and told everyone directly.
Because Zhang Jianwen told them before that whenever anyone asked, they would tell the truth.
In this way, others will know that the village is planning to build a deer park to raise deer, and they will also know that they can see deer in the village in the future. This is more direct than deliberately publicizing it.
"Oh? Raise deer? Are they sika deer?"
When many people heard that they could see deer in the village, their eyes immediately lit up, and they asked Zhang Jianjun if he was raising deer. Sika deer.
“Yes, they are sika deer, but we call them grass deer here, and my nephew’s family has a group of them.”
Many people in the village are unfamiliar with sika deer, because they have always known them shouted Cao Deer.
Zhang Jianjun used to do the same, but after hearing his son talk about it later, he knew that grass deer and sika deer were also called sika deer.
“It’s great. You can see sika deer without going to the zoo. By the way, when will your place be built? After it is built, I will take my son here to see sika deer.”
It was confirmed that it was a sika deer, and many people were very happy, because they were not from the mountains, and they had to go to the zoo to see this thing.
And the zoo is only found in provincial cities, so few people go all the way there.
But now you don’t have to go too far to see it. Of course they are happy, especially the children, whose eyes are full of anticipation.
After all, the sika deer is so elegant, no child will dislike it.
