Chapter 46: Seedlings
The motorcade that picked up Lao Yu drove directly into Yujia Village.
Yu Laoliu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the AMG running away. He called his two sons to light firecrackers, took his wife with him, and rushed up with runny noses and tears.
"My second brother, you are finally back."
"Yeah, I'm back."
For Lao Yu and Yu's mother, half a year has passed and Yujia Village has become extremely unfamiliar.
Not only the things in front of me, but also the villagers who had no contact with each other in the past, but now greeted them warmly.
If it weren't for the highway in the distance and the evil bridge opening, the couple would have thought they had gone to the wrong place and recognized the wrong person.
"Wow, blow it!" (Suona)
"There's someone walking on stilts, come on!"
"Yangzi, let's fight!"
I don’t know whether it’s because we are too poor or because the folk customs are different in different places.
During major festivals, grand celebrations, or weddings and funerals in Shiliying, lion and dragon dances are not popular at all.
Instead, they played the suona, walked on stilts, and planted rice seedlings.
There is no need to say much about the first two.
The word "yang" is used in the word "yang", but it is completely different from Yangge.
It probably means that the most burly and majestic men in the village are gathered together, put on golden clothes, put on golden headscarves, tighten their trouser legs and cuffs, each has two drums and hammers, and one gong is added to the waist. drum.
Starting from the horse stance, the left and right feet take turns to step on the ground. The rest is all about cropping, or digging the ground, or weeding, or pulling out seedlings, or holding the plow, shaking the columbine, driving, building stacks, stepping on them, and setting them aside. Lift the top...
All the movements are rough and powerful, the steps are simple and steady, and the chants of "hahahaha" in the mouth are majestic, passionate and unrestrained from a distance, with a strong sense of rhythm.
The hard work and heroic spirit of Luxi people are demonstrated everywhere.
But it is like the Shuibo culture in the south, with a little bit of cottage style and banditry.
It is said that this folk dance originated from the Shang and Zhou witchcraft ceremonies and was often used to pray for blessings, drive away evil spirits, demonstrate, and celebrate harvests.
When he was a child, Yu Yang had seen a scene of thousands of people. The sound of stampeding feet could drown out the noise of gongs and drums, and he could feel the earth trembling from a distance.
Later, the commune was disbanded, and people's hearts were not so unified. In addition, every household had its own affairs, and fewer and fewer people were willing to cooperate with the training.
Starting from the temple fair on February 2, 1996, Shiliying has never held a rice plowing event again.
Now let the 156 strong men of our family show off their uniform movements and deep and deep roars. The whole scene is far more shocking than before.
So much so that the ceremonial performances have become the focus of people's stop and appreciation.
There were also people watching, including on the highway.
“It looks so exciting!”
"Are they practicing martial arts?"
"It's too early to shoot Water Margin."
Just when more and more people are gathering on the highway.
The director of the Investment Promotion Office rushed up with a wooden cart, "Bean sprouts, fresh bean sprouts, local specialties. If you miss it, you won't be able to buy it..."
"How to sell it?"
"15 yuan a box."
"So expensive?!"
"Look at the brand, export to Russia!"
Onlookers picked it up and took a look.

“Shouldn’t the export be in English?”
The director of the Investment Promotion Office took out the Russian label on the spot and said, "I put it on for you, but you can't understand it."
"It seems to be true, give me 2 boxes!" The child care worker from the countryside shouted loudly while opening the trunk of Santana.
The investment promotion was a great success, and the 80% new car rewarded by the county finally came into use.
Immediately afterwards, three Santanas that had just returned from the county town also pulled over one after another.
Immediately, a Hutouben with license plate 66666 came to a sudden stop. The mayor lowered the cab glass and said, "Hey, old man, give me 10 boxes!"
Driven by the many sitters, people on the highway suddenly couldn't bear the price anymore and snatched up all the wooden carts.
far away.
The deputy mayor also pulled a wooden cart and sent the remaining dozens of boxes of hot pot vegetable bags onto the highway.
"cucumber!"
"Chrysanthemum!"
“The hotpot gift package is cheap!”
I have to say that car owners these days are indeed rich.
As long as you stop and ask the price, there is no one who won’t buy it.
…
…
Lao Yu’s dust-cleaning banquet was held in the Lao No. 2 plastic greenhouse.
This site covering an area of 2.25 acres has once again undergone tremendous changes after my sister-in-law’s careful decoration.
The ground is paved with tiled paths and surrounded by bamboo fences.
Gourd vines, cucumber vines, and loofah vines hang in the distance, and patches of eggplants, tomatoes, green and red peppers are planted nearby...
There are also donkey-pulled mills, hand-pulled mills, stone mills, tofu workshops, tofu skin drying areas, dry noodle drying areas...
If the people on the north side of Shiliying had not allowed canals and river excavations to prevent the Yellow River from bursting its banks, there might still be small bridges and flowing water for people to live in.
The stools and square tables are set on both sides of the three tiled paths. When the whole village arrived, the second sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law, the fourth sister-in-law, etc. who came from the brick kiln to help, opened the earthen stoves they were responsible for, filled up the plates of delicious food, and then asked the village boys to bring them to the banquet.
Yu Laizi, who was in charge of counting people, roughly counted the heads, picked up the trumpet and said, "Let's have dinner!"
156 strong men took the lead in picking up a large bowl of wine and said, "Welcome the old village leader back home!"
"Old creditor?"
Lao Yu's expression changed and he was particularly flustered.
He turned to look at his only Miaomiao, "Why are there so many?"
“There will be more to come.”
"???"
Yu Yang just thought that Lao Yu was asking about the number of strong men, so he replied casually and continued to look at the gift list.
Township secretary 200
Township chief 100.
Deputy mayor 100.
Director of Investment Promotion Office 100.
"Strange, why is the village suddenly rich?"
"You don't know?" Uncle Six came to his side, "A rural enterprise has been set up in the countryside. It mainly targets high-quality customers on the highway. Just like bean sprouts in a thermos box, the wholesale price is 2 yuan. Even if it is brought to the capital, The price is 5 yuan at most, but on the expressway, it starts at 15 yuan.”
"Isn't this too dark?"
Uncle Six raised his eyebrows, "Have you never eaten the box lunch on the train?"
"..."
…
Eat and drink until 9pm.
The dust-washing banquet finally came to an end.
Yu Yang took Lao Yu, Yu's mother, and housekeeping teacher Zhang to the east side of the parking lot.
The houses here are used to accommodate strong men. They have four rooms, two living rooms and a kitchen, with a small courtyard of 50 square meters and a dry toilet.
Although there are no sewage pipes laid and no collective heating, the conditions are definitely far better than those in the previous house.
Come to the living room.
Chairs, stools, beds and cabinets are all made of welded steel pipes and steel plates, and then covered with wooden boards or plywood.
"This is a collective supply from the company. If you don't like it, just return it and buy something you like."
Yu Yang held a cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes, took out a specially prepared wallet, counted out a stack of specially prepared blue banknotes, and handed it to Lao Yu, "Er, I don't have enough money. Call me later. We are not short now." money."
"???"
"Oh, why did you tell the truth while drunk?"
"I've put up with you for one day!"
…
Early the next morning.
News came from the convoy heading to the Northeast that it had passed Shanhaiguan.
The road was relatively safe and we only encountered two robbers.
Yu Yang hung up the phone, got up and washed up, and walked to the window on the second floor of the small foreign-style building to take a look at Lao Yu's courtyard.
Mom is cleaning the yard.
Lao Yu has signed in for work and is currently sitting in the reception room at the south gate of the parking lot, reading the newspapers distributed in the township compound today.
"That's right."
"Men become bad when they have money. I don't want a few more half-brothers and sisters to compete with me for billions of dollars in wealth."
After Yu Yang washed up, he wrapped himself in a military cotton coat, put on a locomotive hat, and walked to Yujia Village in high cashmere rubber boots.
All the strong men from the brick kiln have been withdrawn.
Including the main force staying in Yujiacun, the total number is 156.
Each person holds one point of land, and his family also has a real plastic greenhouse that can grow 15.6 acres.
According to the standards for building a heated kang at home, a plastic greenhouse covers an area of 2.25 acres.
15.6 divided by 2.25 is about 7 seats.
If flowing water planting is not used.
A single plastic greenhouse produces 750 baskets of bean sprouts in the morning, 750 baskets in the afternoon, and 1,500 baskets throughout the day.
1500x7 seats, total 10500 baskets.
If you use flowing water planting.
That is to say, 7 plastic greenhouses are divided into zones so that the number of farmers per unit area reaches saturation. The farmers plant and the female workers harvest, and the female workers harvest and the male workers load the trucks. Then the laborers loosen the soil and the old men spread manure...
Yu Yang calculated it N times and was shocked to find that the yield of flow-type planting was not as high as that of conventional planting.
The output of a single seat is 2,500. In the morning, the east, middle and west districts of shed No. 1 are planted. At noon, the east, middle and west districts of shed No. 2 are planted. At 3pm, the east, middle and west districts of shed No. 3 are planted.
Then in the evening, plastic greenhouses No. 4, 5, 6, and 7 could no longer be planted.
Final production was only 7,500.
Yu Yang thought for a moment and understood.
If there are not enough people, the assembly line cannot turn around.
He thought for a moment and immediately changed the planting method to the original method.
A plastic greenhouse is 2.25 acres, one farmer is responsible for one piece of land, and 23 people are responsible for it.
Seven plastic greenhouses require 161 people.
There are 156 farmers in the family, and 5 more peasant women will be added.
In this way, men and women can work together without getting tired.
A single seat can produce 1,500 baskets per day, and there are 7 seats in total, with a daily production of 10,500 baskets.
The wholesale price of a single basket is 90 yuan, and the daily income is 945,000 yuan.
However, some of our products are packaged in crisper boxes, which are smaller in size. Even if the packaging fee is removed, we still make more money than the bean sprouts in baskets.
In this way, you can earn at least one million per day.
"A millionaire a day..."
Yu Yang thought about it and looked at the plastic greenhouse plan again.
In addition to 7 real plastic greenhouses, the company currently has 23 fake plastic greenhouses.
If you spend money on these things, you can't keep them idle.
No matter how much you plant, you can stop the loss.
"Since your own bean sprouts taste better, why not take out a real plastic greenhouse, let the bean sprouts fully mature, then plant the seeds into the fake plastic greenhouse, wait until they mature again, and calculate the soybean yield per mu."
"In this way, the 30,000-acre factory area can be used rationally, and at the same time, it can add a new seed business to the company."
