Chapter 30 A sudden turn of events
Yu Yang left the plastic greenhouse and took a walk around the village
In Yujia Village today, after removing the abandoned houses and a group of old houses classified as public rental housing, about half of the remaining farmers have completed the renovation of their fire pits and planted bean sprouts.
among these farmers.
In order to save trouble, some people leave sales to their sixth uncle. The laborers go to the construction site and the female workers go to the greenhouses, achieving three incomes.
In order to make more money, some people personally contact the vegetable vendors waiting in line and sell them wholesale at an additional price of 5 yuan per basket.
Some took out all their savings and borrowed private loans through connections, or bought a second-hand medium-sized transport truck 'Bapingchai' (Dongfeng eight-ton flat-head diesel truck), or rented a second-hand Steyr semi-trailer from Quanpu, and started running Transportation of bean sprouts.
Some rely on their experience and skills to start bearing V-belt and automobile repair businesses.
Income has increased, spending power has improved, and with the addition of outside vegetable vendors, even the village’s canteen has been expanded with five rooms.
Three snack department stores.
One sells instant noodles and provides hot water.
Five landline phones are installed in one room to provide telephone service.
In addition, a windshield was erected at the door and numerous benches were placed for resting and eating.
Maybe it won’t be too long before the canteen will sell clothes and bedding.
"Such a big change shows that I still have something to offer."
Yu Yang walked around and quickly came to the main road of the village.
That is, the dirt road leading to the provincial highway.
It happened to be evening, when the construction site got off work and the greenhouse was finished, and the villagers coming and going greeted each other one after another.
"The boss..."
"Call me the village chief!"
"Hello, village chief!"
"Hey~~"
As the village chief, Yu Yang's prestige in the village has reached its peak.
Unexpectedly, even the respected old branch secretary has gone bankrupt.
Therefore, some people came to him to discuss matters.
"Village chief, my third aunt's son is also named Yu."
"Don't fool me. His father's surname is Xu. When my third aunt got married, I carried the curtain rod."
"I changed my surname yesterday. Sui Mom, do you think we can let him move back to our village?"
"What? Get rid of the double side and stop being a human being? Then our village cannot accept it."
"Village chief, smoke a cigarette."
"Hey, I've made a lot of money recently, Softbox China."
"Help me, I will definitely vote for you in the new term. The whole family will vote."
"It's no problem to change the household registration, but the land will definitely not be divided. We don't have enough in our own village. Let alone the houses. Old houses with fire pits are now being competed for. Look at the old village chief's uncle and his cousin. We used to sleep on the same bed together, but yesterday we were fighting over their grandfather's house, and they were beaten until their stubble was exposed. "
"Then my third aunt's son is here. He can't have nothing, right? At least he has to have a place to live."
"Well, for 5,000 yuan, I will level the ditch on our dirt road so that he can build two small bungalows on the side of the road."
"Why do you still need money?"
"The urban household registration requires 10,000 yuan to buy a job. He has no job and no skills. Coming to our village is a waste of resources."
"5,000 is too much."
"Then there's no need to talk."
"No, village chief... Now that he's here, can he plant bean sprouts?"
"What can we do with two bungalows? Selling gasoline, diesel, engine oil, and lubricants, what a great business."
"Any more?"
"Your consultation fee of 5,000 yuan is just for this discussion. If you want to know more, you have to pay more."
"Then I asked my third aunt's son to come over?"
"Before tonight, send 5,000 yuan to Yu Laoliu."
"I'm going to find Lao Liu now."
Just after we finished chatting, someone else came over.
"Village chief, the people who sell steamed buns and steamed buns from the countryside come to our village every day. Their stall is right outside my courtyard wall. The smoke makes me unable to sleep every day. What should I do?"
"Are you stupid? Knock down the wall of your house, tidy up the yard, and rent a place to them. This way, you can collect the money without worrying about the fumes." "That makes sense!"
Then he asked, "What if they don't rent?"
"Don't rent? If they don't rent, they will definitely set up a stall on the road in our village. I will fine them 100 yuan a day."
"The village chief still has a solution!"
Yu Yang solved a lot of problems in a few words. Although his mouth was dry, he was still a little unfinished.
No wonder they all want to be the village chief, it’s so cool!
…
The next day.
Shiliying Brick Kiln.
After a snowstorm, it's still the same here.
It's just that the weather is colder, the snow has not yet melted, and everything is white everywhere.
While chatting with his second brother, Yu Yang got into the cave and looked around.
The so-called tunnel kiln, as the name suggests, must have a tunnel.
And there are steel rails and flatbed rail cars.
Its working principle is roughly as follows:
When making bricks, shale, coal gangue and a small amount of coal powder are mixed into the clay.
After the bricks are dry, use the many cave dwellings on both sides of the brick kiln to place the bricks on the rail car in an orderly manner, sprinkle some coal powder, and then seal the cave dwellings.
Then.
When the pulverized coal in the head of the rail car is ignited, the burning coal pulverized will ignite the coal pulverized in the bricks, which will cause the bricks in the first carriage to burn violently under the action of the blower.
When the combustion reaches a certain level, it means that the red bricks are fired. At this time, the rail car will move forward, so that the second car that has been ignited will be aligned with the blower and continue to burn violently.
Then comes the third carriage, the fourth carriage... and so on.
When the first car is burned, it enters the cooling period while the second car is burning; when the third car is burning, it continues to cool; when the Nth car is burning, it reaches the designated cave entrance and the workers come in , remove the red bricks, and then load the adobe bricks.
In this way, the rail car rotates in circles inside the brick kiln, burning at the position of the blower, and then uses the chimney to discharge the smoke high into the sky.
This model has a far greater output than traditional brick kilns. The disadvantage is that the life of the track bearings is limited and maintenance is quite troublesome, otherwise it will not shut down for many years.
Of course, it's history now.
The only remaining value is to remove the refractory bricks and use them to lay the fire pit.
Otherwise, if it burns and encounters a heavy rain, it will be like a red-hot stone poured with water, boom...
"Wait a minute, second brother, if we don't use brick kilns to bake red bricks, won't foundation collapse occur when there is heavy rain?"
"That's for sure. If the stone doesn't heat up, no matter how much water you pour on it, it won't explode."
"Sure enough, someone as smart as me discovered the key to the problem."
People built brick kilns to bake red bricks.
If bricks cannot be fired, a brick kiln must be of little value.
But for your own family, you can grow vegetables without burning bricks.
For example, using the characteristics of farmland to package the brick kiln, its output is surprisingly large and its income is surprisingly high.
At that time, it becomes a ‘high-value fixed asset’.
It can be classified into Sanyuan Agricultural Company, increase paid-in capital, expand its own scale, and facilitate future business operations.
You can also take out a mortgage to get some emergency cash for your home.
As for what vegetables to plant...
Growing soybeans on improved farmland requires sunlight.
The interior of the brick kiln was so black that it was obvious that no bean sprouts could be grown.
And you can’t make a lot of money by soaking bean sprouts…
"Are you growing fungi? Pleurotus ostreatus, shiitake mushrooms, and fungus?"
"It seems like harvesting these things is very troublesome, and they might be poisonous if they don't taste good."
Yu Yang thought over and over again and decided to go to Shiliying Market to have a look.
But in any case, being able to make the brick kiln reflect the residual value is a turn of events for the family.
