Chapter 222 Going down the mountain to the county seat
The news that Li Dazhuang was cutting down white pines on a steep slope and was almost crushed to death by a big log spread to several other work teams before noon.
When Zhang, the sawman of the Second Work Team, heard this, he was also frightened.
Logically, he should be there today, watching his apprentice cut down the few remaining trees, but he ended up running back to work.
If the leader investigates this, he will also be responsible.
But then I thought about it, it was a good thing that he was back. If he had been there at that time, he might have been rolled under the big tree together.
Zhang, who was surviving the disaster, was frightened and quickly inquired about the cause of the accident.
The forest farm arranged for people to inspect the site and reported it to the bureau. The bureau also arranged for people to come up the next day.
But the final result showed that all Li Dazhuang's operating procedures were in compliance with the regulations and there were no major mistakes.
The cause of the accident was similar to what Sheng Xiping thought. The cold weather, brittle wood, and the influence of the terrain all came together.
The inspection results were reported to the bureau, but the bureau had nothing to say and finally agreed not to cut down the remaining two trees but to keep them.
Nonsense, if you don't keep it, someone must dare to go up and cut the wood. Anyway, none of the sawmen in Qianchuan Forestry Farm dare to go up.
At this point, the educated youth team has completed most of its winter logging and production operations this year.
Next, lift the wood to the vicinity of the ice ditch slide and slide it to the Lengchang at the foot of the mountain.
Then all the branches and woods in the mountains are stacked and transported out, or they are burned cleanly, and this logging area is basically finished.
Wait until the snow melts in spring, then go up the mountain to Daqing again, and then the bureau will arrange for someone to check and accept it, and that's it.
On March 16, the educated youth team successfully completed this season's timber harvesting and transportation work and left the mountain ahead of schedule.
Other work teams still have some unfinished tasks, which are estimated to take another three to five days.
Zhou Qinglan was in Lengchang checking the rulers and collecting accounts. It would probably take a few days for the work to be completed.
Fortunately, she doesn't have to live in the mountains and commute every day. She can just go to work for a few more days and stand on the last shift.
Sheng Xiping and other young people took the car down the mountain. The first thing they did was to go to the bathhouse. They took a shower and tidied up, and then went home and slept comfortably.
On March 17th, there happened to be a small train going to Songjiang River.
Sheng Xiping and a few brothers discussed that they would go down there and sell the skins, musk and other things they had saved at home before and after the New Year.
"Uncle, are there any industrial coupons in the market? I want to buy a sewing machine. My family has been saving for a long time, but it's not even close.
If there is one in the field, we can borrow it in advance."
On the morning of the 17th, Sheng Xiping went to the field department to open a letter of introduction and asked Wang Jiachuan about it.
"Hey, you want to buy a sewing machine? The young man is quite serious."
Wang Jiachuan laughed when he heard this, opened his desk drawer, rummaged through it, found a stack of tickets and other things, and handed them to Sheng Xiping.
"Take these and see what's inside. Use what you can use. If you don't need it, see what others can change."
Sheng Xiping actually just asked casually and said, "What's the best?"
If you really want to buy it, as long as you have money, you can go to the black market to exchange for tickets. Anyway, there is always a way.
Unexpectedly, Wang Jiachuan actually took out a pile of coupons at once. Sheng Xiping took a quick look and saw that there were food stamps, meat stamps, cloth stamps, sugar stamps, and there seemed to be quite a few industrial stamps.
Just this stack of tickets can be exchanged for a lot of money on the black market.
"Oh, uncle, I don't need so much. A few industrial coupons are enough. You should keep the others."
I don’t know how long Wang Jiachuan has been saving these tickets. Why does Sheng Xiping have the nerve to ask for them?
Although these are indeed useful, for wedding banquets, tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea are not required. There are many things that require tickets, and you can't buy them without tickets.
"Tch, you boy, are you still being polite to me?
Our family doesn’t have much use for these. You have to buy everything for your wedding. Is it okay if you don’t have a ticket?
Take it, and when you get the chance, give me a pair of Black Blind Boleng Gaier.
The wine you gave me last year felt good, and my legs didn't hurt much this winter."
Not to mention that the relationship between Wang Jiachuan and the Sheng family was already very good, but how much did Wang Jiachuan get from Sheng Xiping this year?
Every time they go hunting, Sheng Xiping always gives some meat to the Wang family. This kind of human relationship comes and goes. What's the point of just getting in and out?
"Uncle, don't wait any longer. I'll bring you some leopard bones later.
That stuff is no worse than tiger bone for treating rheumatism or something like that, and better than Heixiazi Bolenggai'er."
Sheng Xiping suddenly remembered that he still had leopard bones at home. Isn't that thing better than Black Blind Boleng Gaier?
"Oh, that's a good thing, I thought you sold it all.
If you have some at home, just give me a little less, I will just throw it into the wine jar, continue to soak it, and drink it slowly."
When Wang Jiachuan heard this, he became happy.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should leave quickly, otherwise the train won't be able to catch up.
If something happens when you go down and it's inconvenient to call back, just go to Secretary Zhao of the Forestry Bureau.
He is now the top leader again, and with my reputation, he will definitely be able to help you."
Wang Jiachuan felt happy and pointed out the way to Sheng Xiping again.
"Hey, I got it, uncle. Then I won't be polite to you. These tickets are really useful."
Sheng Xiping smiled and put the tickets together with the letter of introduction. After saying something to Wang Jiachuan, he hurried out of the venue.
After coming out of the field, Sheng Xiping had an idea. He went home and dug out some things, and then hurried to the small train station.
Fortunately, the small train had just arrived at the station and had to add coal and water to marshal it, so it was time to make the trip.
After about half an hour, the carriage door finally opened and the group got on the train.
At 9:40, the small train set off from Qianchuan Forest Farm. After passing Shuangqiao Station, it took off the locomotive, hooked up the original trolley, and went to the branch line to pick up logs.
Two hours later, the small locomotive pulled the original trolley out, hooked it up again, and headed for the Songjiang River.
By the time Sheng Xiping and the others arrived at Songjiang River, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
After getting off the car, several people first went to find a place to eat and then find a hotel to stay.
Before coming out, Sheng Xiping had agreed with his brothers that they would not sell in Songjiang River this time, but that they would go to the county.
You must know that they have a leopard skin, a lynx skin, three deer skins, and two musk deer skins in their hands. These are all good things.
Songjianghe Purchasing Station has to deliver it to the county after it collects it. They must make a profit, so why don't they go directly to the county to sell it?
The trip down here only takes three days. Whether in Songjiang River or in the county, you have to have food and accommodation. The only thing is the fare to the county.
As long as those skins are sold for more money, the fare will be paid.
Several people came out together, and Sheng Xiping didn't mention going to Zhou's house.
They brought so many things with them that they were not full of things. They stayed in the hotel in the afternoon and did not go anywhere.
The next morning, after getting up to have something to eat, several people went straight to the bus station, bought tickets to the county, got on the bus, and headed straight to the county seat.
From Songjiang River to the county seat, it is a winding mountain road of seventy or eighty miles.
The weather is also not good at this critical time, everything is thawing, and the ground is slippery and slippery as it freezes during the day and at night.
On the way, we also passed a place called Airplane Ridge. The road was very narrow and there were rocks on one side. The driver drove forward cautiously, and everyone in the car was also nervous.
