Chapter 255: Bus 1
readx;?“ Construction?? The second monk Chen Xiaomao was puzzled, "Isn't it farming?" What's going on with construction? ”
At this time, Chen Xiaomao realized that he didn't know when the people had been divided into many pieces with lime powder in his field, and these people soon began to dig according to the dividing line of lime powder, and there were several small leaders among the people, who were directing these people to dig along the lime line. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was stunned on the spot, and after a while, he suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly ran forward to grab the technician and asked, "This master, what is this use of digging in the field?" Isn't it all messy when I dig this field? Saying that, he suddenly let go of his hand again, this person is a serious person, he can't be provoked, if he provokes others, why don't he kill his head on the spot? Anyway, there are a lot of bandits killed during this time, if you kill him and become a bandit, how can it be good?
"These are your Chen family's fields, not your Chen family's fields, we have already distinguished them in advance, and we won't be mistaken."
"But why is this excavation? Why dig? "Chen Xiaomao is a little incoherent, you must know that although this field belongs to the Chen family, it is still the family under his Chen family, and the field deed or something has been written.
"It's about building waterways, and it's about ensuring the supply of water." The technician took out a drawing from the map tube on his body, opened it and showed it to Chen Xiaomao, where could Chen Xiaomao understand the map? I only know that there are lines everywhere on it, and the eyes of those who circle and line are dizzy. "From here there is a main waterway that supplies the entire farm, and then the smaller waterways that branch off from the main waterway supply the crops. In addition, drainage ditches should be excavated to prevent excessive water accumulation that causes crops to soak and die. Yours and this piece of land are often harvested or even lost due to stagnant water, and this piece of land," the technician said, pointing to a block on the map, Chen Xiaomao slowly saw a little bit of the way from the map, and he obviously saw an area of almost twenty acres, which he bought for sixty taels from a Fu Lao who came to Anyun from another place to open up a new field. But since the new field was opened, there has not been much rice planted, and what is planted is either not alive, and the ears of rice that have finally survived are small and flat, which is no different from a dead harvest. "Because the plot of land is relatively low, there is no groundwater underneath, so it is somewhat salinized, and even if you plant rice, it will not grow."
Chen Xiaomao nodded, this is his most failed investment, and the land bought by these sixty taels is definitely a loss. But to his surprise, the technician did not stop, but continued to speak, "We have tested the pH value of this land, it is obviously high, or we need to mix acidic agents to neutralize it, but we do not have enough chemicals at this stage, so we can only dig up this piece of soil, improve drainage, and backfill it with normal soil." ”
"You ......" Chen Xiaomao couldn't help but stammer, "You mean that this land is still saved?" ”
"Of course, you see, several areas next to this land are very passable, but this one is the worst, mainly because the usual water is concentrated here, and the water evaporates after the sun, and minerals and salts are deposited in this land, so this situation will occur, and it is estimated that this has been the case for a long time before this land was opened."
Chen Xiaomao's heart was thundering at this time, he knew that this group of people were good at tricks and tricks, and all kinds of products were readily available, and now the bankers on his Zhuangzi could spend a not too high amount of money to buy good agricultural tools and daily necessities from the merchants from Dongfang Port who could not buy them with silver before, and during this time, the bandits suppressed by the aborigines of Anyun let them know that the military strength of these Chinese in Dongfang Port is far superior to that of the military households of the imperial court, even the strongest ones are not comparable. Now the childish man in front of him looks no more than ten ** years old, with a white face and no beard, and he is also a half-sized child, but people seem to know everything about farming. His hands and feet are not thick, and his complexion is fair-skinned, and he does not look like a person who works a lot, but how do people know so many things? And to draw on paper, to work according to what is on paper...... Isn't this just on paper? He suddenly remembered Ma Jian in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that he watched not long ago, if he didn't do it well, he wouldn't be able to get two hundred taels of silver, and how could he make up for it if the fields were dug up?
"Don't worry! Mr. Chen! You know the policy of our Senate," the technician patted Chen Xiaomao on the shoulder, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "We will not deceive the people, we will not cause losses to the people, we will definitely be responsible." ”
How could Chen Xiaomao rest assured? But he didn't dare to argue with the young man in front of him, so he nodded hastily, said goodbye to the man, and hurriedly walked to the other side of the road, and had to hurry to catch the bus to the port of the East. He didn't know what the people were playing, the road was wide, it was not allowed to walk casually, the driving vehicle had to walk on the right side of the road, and whoever went to the left side would be impounded by the "traffic police" wearing a black uniform and a white hat on his head, and the driver would also be sent to a labor camp to participate in a day's work as a punishment. This initiative made people panic at the beginning, and they all thought that the people were going to play some kind of moths, although the old saying is that the road leads to the sky and goes to one side, and how people go is up to them. Now you have to manage how to drive, and these people are really wide.
Behind him was a big wooden sign, with many small characters written on it, and a big strange word on it, and someone had told him that it was the one of the people, but wasn't the one horizontal? This vertical one is also one? There is also a "road bus" written next to it, and there are many small characters densely written below, all of which are place names, Wu'an Village is written on the far right, and Dongfang Port Transfer Station is written on the far left. In the middle, there is a black character written on a white background "Chenjiazhai" three words are particularly obvious, this he is clear, said that the name of this bus station is Chenjiazhai Station, every day there are many peddlers and pawns to take the bus to his Zhuangzi to sell the products of the Oriental Port or buy the local products in the Zhuangzi to the Oriental Port to sell.
Now there was a peddler behind him with a piglet in his arms, and a large basket on his back, and two piglets in it, and his front feet were on the frame of the basket and he was looking around. The satisfied humming of pigs from time to time, accompanied by the smell of pig feces wafting from time to time, made Chen Xiaomao feel a little uncomfortable, and muttered in his heart that he would wait to go with this person and the three pigs in the same car?
At this moment, the human technician came over again, but it was obvious that his target was not Chen Xiaomao, but this small trader. Approaching, the technician nodded to the vendor and asked, "How did you sell this pig?" ”
The peddler was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Chen Xiaomao with some hesitation, this is the pig that was collected at a low price in his Zhuangzi not long ago, if the price is high, I am afraid that Chen Xiaomao will intervene and break, and the price will be low and his profit will be impacted, and he stammered for a while and didn't know what to say.
The technician glanced at Chen Xiaomao, turned his head to look at Chen Jiazhai, and suddenly realized "oh", took out a notebook from the small satchel he carried, wrote a few words on it with a pencil, and then carefully tore it off and handed it to the vendor. The peddler obviously didn't know how to read, and before he could hesitate, the technician was already talking, "That's right, I think your pigs are good, and you are waiting for the bus on this side of the road, you should be going to the Chengxi Farmers' Market to sell them, right?" If you want, send it to the farm of the Committee of Agriculture, let them test it, and if the pig breed is good, they will give you a good price. ”
"You still have pigs?" Chen Xiaomao almost blurted out and asked, "What are you raising pigs for?" ”
"Eat." The technician looked at Chen Xiaomao with a look of surprise, "Of course we raise pigs to fatten and eat, and we have been waiting for braised pork for several months, and now we are waiting for the pigs to grow up, and I really miss the pigs growing up." You're busy first, I'll have to check the construction status, and if I dig it wrong, it's going to be troublesome. As he spoke, the technician waved his hand at him, turned around and walked back to the direction of Chenjiazhai.
"What's the pig growing?" The peddler muttered, his eyes looked at Chen Xiaomao, Chen Xiaomao couldn't help but shrug his shoulders, he had dealt with the beard man a lot, and unconsciously learned some of the movements of the beard, "I don't know, it's probably something that makes pigs grow faster, right?" Saying that, a look of longing appeared on Chen Xiaomao's face, "If only there was that thing, if there could really be pigs slaughtered in a year, just thinking about it would make me a little excited......
As he spoke, the jingle of bells rang in the distance. A huge ox cart pulled by three buffaloes is heading here. This is the "bus" that the people made now, and it should be called a bus ox cart. The buffalo-pulled vehicle has a steel skeleton and a covered semi-enclosed compartment that gets on and off the rear door. The carriage is seven meters long and two meters wide, with 20 seats, and the aisle can also stand people, generally up to 30 people up and down. There are also sturdy iron hooks on the outer walls of the carriages, and items can be placed on the roof, and in general, a bus bullock cart can carry a weight of four to four and a half tons. Moreover, the wheels of the vehicle use bearings, and the ox-drawn cart is far less laborious than those vehicles in this time and space, and three oxen can pull the cart at a speed of six kilometers per hour.
The vehicle slowly approached the side of the road, and the driver pulled the reins of the ox, and the ox stopped honestly, looking left and right. The driver jumped out of the car, took some water from the tank under the car, fed all three cows, and touched the cow's head again. Chen Xiaomao only saw at this time that the person driving the car only had one hand, and his left hand was suddenly gone from his forearm. Although he didn't know what this man used to do, he could guess from the blue sign with a star on his right chest that he must have eaten public meals before.
got on the bus, there were a few empty seats in front of the car, Chen Xiaomao looked inside the car a little, and the vendor holding the pig found a place near the back door of the car to sit down, he hurriedly took a few steps forward and sat directly behind the seat of the car. However, the smell of cow dung wafted in front of the car, and when I looked down, I saw that the driver was struggling to shovel the cow dung with a shovel in one hand and throw it into the weeds on the side of the road.
When the driver had done this, he skillfully climbed up to the position of the driver with one hand and raised the reins. He didn't raise his whip or anything, and the ox began to walk on its own, and the vehicle slowly began to move forward.
"Master, it's been a long time since you got in the car, right?" Chen Xiaomao felt that being idle was also idle, so it was better to chat with the master who was driving the car.
The driver nodded, "It's been a month." This answer made Chen Xiaomao stunned, he was so proficient in only a month? It seems that the tacit understanding with the cow can be cultivated in a month?
He felt that this topic might not be able to continue, so he changed the topic, "Master, what's the matter with your hand?" ”
"My hand?" The driver raised his broken left hand and smiled and said, "A few months ago, I was a soldier in the army, and on the night of the defense of Dongfang Port, I came face to face with a Medeno sailor in the five-star square, and he hit me with a mace. ”
He said it lightly, but Chen Xiaomao was terrified when he heard it, "I beat it all night that night, and I heard that there were many dead and injured people." ”
"Yes, there are six dead and three disabled in our class, but there is one person who didn't even hurt his skin, it's really lucky." He laughed and shook his head.
"What about the Mederor sailor?"
"Which one?" Confused by the car, "Which Medeno sailor?" ”
"It's the one who smashed your hand." Chen Xiaomao decided to break the casserole and ask to the end.
"He...... Right in the back, he collected the money when you bought the ticket just now. The driver smiled and shouted to the back, "Da Qiao, how many tickets are there today?" ”
"Sixty-five, we earned three cents and six today." The man called Da Qiao replied loudly, his voice filled with Mandarin. Chen Xiaomao was stunned, and it turned out to be a blue-eyed Medeno man with a shaved head. This sailor, who was similar to the charioteer, had a broken right hand, which was probably also wounded in battle.
"Then ......" Chen Xiaomao was stunned, "Shouldn't you two be mortal enemies?" How to ......"
"You should be beaten to death, right?" The driver laughed, "Da Qiao, I'm afraid the two of us can't do it, haha." ”
Da Qiao also laughed, "This good life has come on, why are you still fighting to death?" Can't you live a good life? ”
"Big brother," the driver turned his head to look at Chen Xiaomao and said with a smile, "It's a politician's business to fight, what is the enmity between a soldier and a soldier?" I contracted this car with him, and I didn't have to pay management fees or deposits for the status of disabled soldiers, just pay the vehicle usage fee once a month, and make a lot of money in a month, so why do you have to fight to death? Living well is more effective than avenging anything. ”
