An hour later, Lin Shan and Zhang Zijun arrived at Linshui Town.
After returning to the compound, I picked up the mule and set foot on the mountain road back to the village.
The compound that Linshan rented was right on the edge of the town, so it didn't take long before we started walking into the mountain.
Lin Shan pulled Zhang Zijun and stopped halfway up the slope. He pointed at the winding path ahead and said, "Zijun, this is the way to our Xiaowa Village."
Zhang Zijun nodded and said, "Let's go."
"How about you ride a mule for a while first?" Lin Shan asked with concern.
Zhang Zijun said: "I'm not tired yet, let's walk for a while."
In this way, the two of them surveyed the terrain while walking, and learned about the geology along the way.
By the time we returned to Xiaowa Village, it was already dark.
Jian Ruoqing was standing at the entrance of the village looking forward to it. When she saw Lin Shan and Zhang Zijun, she immediately ran over excitedly: "Zijun!"
"Qing Qing!" Zhang Zijun also walked towards Jian Ruoqing, but she was very tired from walking all the way, but she couldn't run anymore.
The next moment, the two women hugged each other excitedly: "Zijun, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did it take you so long to arrive?"
Lin Shan said: "We surveyed the terrain and geology along the way, and took some unnecessary detours in order to choose a suitable route."
"Thank you so much for your hard work. I started working as soon as I came here. Come on, let's go home first. I'll prepare delicious food for you to catch the wind and wash away the dust for you." After hearing this, Suga Ruoqing pulled Zhang Zijun towards the mountainside.
Walk to the small villa.
Lin Shan, on the other hand, picked up a few bottles of wine and drinks from the canteen, called Mr. Gen, Uncle Cai, Uncle Pao and several other elders before returning home together.
In order to welcome Zhang Zijun, Jian Ruoqing prepared another whole-sheep feast. She has been talking about that taste since she last ate it, and today she can finally eat meat again.
"Zijun, are you exhausted? Sit down and rest for a while." Jian Ruoqing led Zhang Zijun to sit at the dining table.
Zhang Zijun shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I'm not too tired. Qingqing, I really didn't expect you to come to this small mountain village to do business. I admire your courage."
"Just don't laugh at me for being stupid." Suga Ruoqing smiled and said, "Want something to drink?"
"Don't drink anymore. We have to survey the route tomorrow. Drinking can easily delay things. You know how much I drink. I'll get drunk after drinking a little." Zhang Zijun waved his hand.
Suga Ruoqing nodded without forcing it: "Then drink some freshly squeezed juice. This is fried juice made from fruits we grow ourselves. You have never tasted such a delicious drink outside."
"Really or not?" Zhang Zijun pursed his lips and smiled.
"You'll know after you try it." Jian Ruoqing said, pouring a glass of juice for Zhang Zijun.
Zhang Zijun curiously took the cup and took a small sip. Then, she raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Why does it taste so good?" Zhang Zijun licked his lips, looking a little aftertasteful.
Suga Ruoqing smiled, poured another glass for Zhang Zijun, and said: "It tastes good. From now on, our Qingshan Farm will exclusively introduce this kind of pure green, pollution-free green fruits to the market. In addition, there will also be vegetables, grains
, all focusing on high-end products. We also have our pasture, which raises chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and can provide a variety of green meat and egg products, which will be launched before the Spring Festival. So now you know how eager we are to build roads.
Bar?"
"Qingqing said it well. We are extremely eager to build this road now, so we need Zijun to worry about it for us." Lin Shan happened to come in at this time and took over the conversation.
"Master Gen, Uncle Cai, and Uncle Pao, please take a seat." Jian Ruoqing saw the three elders and quickly stood up politely to give up his seat. Zhang Zijun also stood up.
Everyone was polite, and after the distinguished guests sat down, Lin Shan made an introduction, and then continued: "Zijun, I invited three elders to come over today just to discuss the matter of road construction. The three elders have lived for most of their lives.
, is most familiar with the surrounding mountains and rivers, and can provide us with some valuable reference opinions.”
"Then I would like to thank the three elders first." Zhang Zijun said.
Mr. Gen and the other three immediately waved their hands and said: "Girl, it's us who should thank you. We have lived in Xiaowa Village all our lives. We have been looking forward to the day when we were young that we would be able to connect to the outside world by road. But now, we are almost
It has been buried, but it still has not been realized. Now we just hope that we will be satisfied if we can see this road completed in our lifetime."
"Master Gen, your old wish will definitely come true. Okay, let's eat first and talk about the business tomorrow." Lin Shan opened the wine, filled it up for the three elders, and started eating and drinking.
Although no serious business was mentioned, the meal still revolved around the topic of road construction.
Zhang Zijun is an expert in this field, while Mr. Gen, Lao Cai Shu and Lao Pao Shu are local experts. During the period, they talked about their interests and even took out a map to study it.
"By the way, Lao Cai Lao Pao, do you remember that our village used to have an ancient road leading to the county seat?" Mr. Gen suddenly slapped the table and said.
"The ancient road? Directly leads to the county seat?" Lin Shan looked at the three elders in surprise.
He had never heard of this before and didn't know what the condition of this ancient road was.
After hearing this, Uncle Cai and Uncle Pao pondered for a moment, then nodded suddenly and said, "Remember, isn't this road already broken? No one has walked on it for decades, and I'm afraid I can't find it now."
"I can find it. And that ancient road is better than the road we are taking now. There are not so many mountain ridges and deep gorges, and it can bypass Linshui Town and go straight to the county seat. The only obstacle is the landslide.
Now it has become a barrier lake." Mr. Gen said.
"Directly connected to the county seat? What's the distance?" Zhang Zijun asked immediately.
Mr. Gen thought for a while and said: "Because we bypassed the town, the distance can be shortened by almost one-third compared to the old road. But the only regret is that there are no other villages along this way."
"It doesn't matter. The main reason we build roads is to facilitate ourselves. And shortening one-third of the distance can save one-third of the cost. More importantly, our products are mainly sold to counties and surrounding areas.
For counties and cities, bypassing the town will not have much impact. I think this ancient road can be used." Lin Shan said excitedly.
Zhang Zijun thought for a moment, then looked at Linshan and said, "But this is contrary to your idea of building a sightseeing road. Although the mountain ridges and deep streams are obstacles to road construction, they are excellent tourism resources.
"
"That's okay! We can build this ancient road first and solve the transportation problem. Wouldn't it be better to build a sightseeing highway when we have sufficient funds?" Lin Shan said.
Suga Ruoqing also nodded and said in agreement: "Two roads, one is mainly used for transportation, and the other is used for sightseeing. The division of labor is clear and does not affect each other. It is a very good idea."
"Then we will survey this ancient road tomorrow. If it is feasible, we will follow this plan." Zhang Zijun thought for a while and then agreed.
