Reborn to be rich

Chapter 128 A Different Temple Fair
On August [-]th, the tobacco leaves in Zhangjialing Village had already grown, and the largest tobacco leaves at the bottom began to turn yellow. It was time for flue-cured tobacco, and every household in Zhangjialing Village was very busy.

Uncle Wu went back to the second team and set fire to the flue-cured tobacco building in front of the house. Zhang Guodong's family broke off the mature tobacco leaves from the field and pulled them back to the door of the second team with a tractor to start smoking.

Tobacco racking also requires skills. If the tobacco leaf rack is not good, you can’t enter the flue-cured tobacco building. Even if the tobacco leaves are roasted, the quality of the tobacco leaves will not be good. Zhang Guodong’s family mobilized the children to assist the adults in the tobacco leaf racking. They have been busy from 4:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am. Three trucks of tobacco leaves This is the end of the set-up, and Zhang Guotao bought it at the Guanlukou for the supper at night.

Growing tobacco is hard work, but the good economic benefits of growing it are much better than growing rapeseed. The fifth uncle’s family collected tobacco leaves together with Zhang Guodong’s family today. By the time everyone sent all the tobacco leaves to the shelves of the flue-cured tobacco building, it was already past three o’clock.

How to roast the tobacco leaves determines the quality of the tobacco leaves handed in. The tobacco growers in the village have long kept the key points in mind.Zhang Guodong wanted to stay and bake with Uncle Wu and his father, but they drove him back to Guanlukou.

On the second day, Zhang Guodong entered the flue-cured tobacco building and felt the temperature inside. The temperature was 65°C, and his father and fifth uncle had to turn it over every four hours. Ordinary people couldn't bear it at all.

It wasn't until after six o'clock in the afternoon that the tobacco leaves were roasted. Zhang Guodong took the tobacco rack out of the flue-cured building. The originally white-green tobacco leaves were roasted golden, and they shattered when touched with hands. Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw this. up.

The first quality of flue-cured tobacco is the color. The color should be yellow and there should be no spots on it. Good-roasted tobacco leaves smell fragrant. Seeing that the tobacco in Zhang Guodong's house has been cured, several people in the village who are testing come over to check.

On the second day, people from the Xiongji Tobacco Company came. He mainly checked the quality of flue-cured tobacco in Zhangjialing Village. Zhangjialing has a total of more than 600 mu of flue-cured tobacco this year, which is quite a lot. For training, if he can produce more first-class tobacco leaves this year, he will also get a bonus in the company.

"Mr. Zhang, this year the tobacco company has become more and more strict on the evaluation of tobacco leaves, but it is a good thing for us tobacco growers. Now the company divides tobacco into 5 grades. The first special grade is for the color of flue-cured tobacco. , size, width, heat, etc. have strict requirements, so it can be said that it is one in a thousand! One side of special-class cigarettes is 9500, and how to calculate it is in the training materials. First-class tobacco is 1800 this year, second-class tobacco is 360, third-class tobacco is 45, and finally The difference is 5 yuan per party." The Tobacco Commissioner said.

It costs more than 100 yuan to buy seeds, plastic sheds, and fertilizers for an acre of tobacco planting, plus other labor costs are almost 150 yuan. On average, one and a half tobacco leaves are produced per acre of land. If tobacco leaves below the third grade are produced, it is equivalent to Lost.

"Can you help us see how the tobacco leaf is roasting?" Zhang Guodong pulled him to the tobacco leaf rack that had just come out of the building.

"This one looks pretty good. It should be waiting for the first time. But the specifics will not be known until the tobacco leaves are softened. Preserving the tobacco leaves is also very important. Wrap the wooden boards with plastic paper and squeeze them. By September, the tobacco leaves in your village will be finished. Our company will send professionals to rate it.”

Hearing that the other party gave a first-class preliminary estimate, Uncle Wu was very happy. He has been controlling the temperature of the flue-cured tobacco on this floor. He has not dared to sleep since last night.

Others in the village who have cured tobacco compared their own tobacco leaves with Zhang Guodong's tobacco leaves. Everyone discussed the method of curing tobacco, and the tobacco company specialist explained the key points to them.

The tobacco leaves on the tobacco rod are not matured at one time. After breaking off the bottom tobacco leaf, other tobacco leaves will also grow up.From the first time the tobacco leaves are broken, they have to be broken every ten days, and it will take more than a month for all the tobacco leaves to be broken.

By August [-]th, almost all the tobacco grown in Zhangjialing Village had been roasted once. The tobacco from my own home was blackened, had black spots, was too white and was not evenly roasted, and various problems appeared.Everyone began to invite some well-cured tobacco houses to help them adjust the temperature of the fire in the building. Some flue-cured tobacco buildings have unreasonable designs at this time, and they have to hurry up and repair them.

Ecological chickens from chicken farms sell well in Chang’an. The appearance of ecological chickens is quite different from ordinary chickens. There are also several big restaurants in Chang’an that have signed long-term contracts with the farms. More than 2000 chickens do not need to go to the farmers’ market every month. , transported to Chang'an and sent directly to the hotel.

Even with the input of pig farm feed, the entire farm is now earning positive income. Ecological chickens are fixed at more than 2 per week, eggs earn more than 4000 per day, and other income is nearly 30 per month.For other expenses such as feed, the farm has a net income of more than [-] yuan a month.

On the first day of September, Qingyun Temple in Zhangjialing suddenly became popular. There were still two days before the Qingyun Temple meeting, and many businessmen from other counties had already arrived in Zhangjialing Village.

Nowadays, the road near the entrance of Qingyun Temple has become a regular facade house, where suppliers and vendors set up stalls to do business. The stage for singing operas last year on the east side of Qingyun Temple is now set up again. This piece of land has been compacted by machinery, and there are many wide ones The wooden stools were placed neatly under the stage, and everything in Qingyun Temple had been arranged in an orderly manner under the early planning of Zhangjialing Village.

On September 9, Qingyun Temple held a meeting. Unexpectedly, on September 3, many hotels in the village were rented out. At night, the gate of Qingyun Temple was brightly lit, and many people wandered around the gate of Qingyun Temple at this time. This year’s Qingyun Temple The temple fair is more lively than usual.

In the afternoon of the next day, the members of the village brigade told Zhang Guodong that all the hotels in the village that could accommodate tourists were full. I don’t know why there are so many people at the temple fair in Zhangjialing Village this year. You must know that there are more than 500 guest rooms in the village. .

On the afternoon of the 90nd, the Provincial Theater Troupe came to Zhangjialing Village for the second time. This time they came directly with two buses, a stage makeup van, and a van. A total of more than 80 people arrived, thanks to Zhang Guodong who had prepared [-] for them. Otherwise, with the popularity of Zhangjialing Village this year, I wouldn't even be able to find a place to live.

"Leader Ren, I'm sorry to trouble you again this year!" Zhang Guodong saw Ren Zhezhong get off the van, and stepped forward to greet him.

"Mr. Zhang doesn't need to be that good! It's not the first time we've dealt with each other! We'll go straight to the test site after we put down our salutes. I've been hearing news about Qingyun Temple in Zhangjialing Village in the past few days in Chang'an. It looks like There are quite a few people here." Just for a while, several groups of passers-by at the Guanlu intersection walked towards Qingyun Temple. From the Guanlu intersection to Qingyun Temple, it was dark. Where is this village for temple fairs? Yongkang County Lantern Festival Not so lively.

"Leader Ren, I'm also wondering about this! Why are there so many people in our village temple fair this year?"

"Mr. Zhang, you really don't know?" Ren Zhezhong said in surprise.

"Our Xigou tourist attraction has been opened for use, could it be this..."

"There is one reason for this, and another reason is that your village was published in the Provincial People's Daily a week ago. Now many county and city leaders have called on all villages and towns to learn from your reform and development ideas. There will be a lot of leaders. Also, Wang Shaoqin has already said in a crowded place that you are holding a Qixi blind date event that she will participate in this blind date show, and several young people in our troupe also plan to participate this time."

Zhang Guodong finally understood the reason for the large number of people this time. It wasn't that he made eco-tourism popular all of a sudden, but that the provincial and city TV stations helped him a lot.

Wang Shaoqin is a well-known TV host in the city. She is 28 years old this year and is the dream lover of many young people. This time she is also one of the blind date hosts. She did not expect that she would also participate in the blind date.

"Xie Ren is getting old! Since you are like an audition now, let's discuss how to perform this year! The troupe has 58 actors this time, and more than 30 of them are children who have not graduated. Let everyone be together. This pair Their improvement will not be very effective. Our village now has two stages, and the stage at the gate of the village brigade has been used by the village self-music class. We can divide the team into two parts, and the young people with weaker abilities will be placed in the village brigade. ..."

Mr. Ren accepted Zhang Guodong's suggestion after thinking about it. Zhangjialing Village has trained a large number of professional opera actors for two consecutive years of self-music troupe performances. Their strength is not much worse than that of professional actors. Children who have not graduated are much worse than them. The Zhangjialing Village Self-music Class and the Provincial Theater Troupe performed together, which is a good thing for everyone.

"Brother! Uncle and aunt! Sister Ping'er..."

Zhang Guodong was chatting with Ren Zhezhong. Tian Ailing walked into Zhang Guodong's house with a few girls. These girls were all classmates with Tian Ailing. There were nearly ten people in their class this time.

"Ailing is here, and your house is reserved for you! Guotao will entrust you with the entertainment of the troupe these days, take care of everyone!" Zhang Guodong saw Tian Ailing said, the second brother was carrying a big box, it seemed that Tian Ailing This time I will be staying at home for a while.

After the troupe actors were packed, the head of the troupe had already divided the troupe into two parts. A team of more than 20 people, including actors and accompanists, was arranged to perform in the village brigade, and the people who were arranged to come could be seen I feel a little lost in my heart.

Even Zhang Guodong did not expect the Qin Opera team in Zhangjialing Village. After the temple fair in Zhangjialing Village last year, everyone’s strength has grown rapidly for a long time. Later, because there were too many participants and too many accompanists, the self-music group was divided into two groups. Four teams.

One of them is the team led by Uncle Wu. There are 12 accompanists in the self-music class, all of whom are very strong, and there are less than 30 actors who sing operas, and they are all very strong. They will be arranged to Qingyun Temple The door performed with the provincial troupe.

The Zhangjialing Second Team is a relatively good team. Compared with the professional team and the first team, they are not small. If you pull out one or two casually, you can count on the top of the first team. This team has nearly 30 accompanists and more than 50 actors. It is a self-music class with the largest number of people.

The third self-music class is composed of people from other villages. They are all lovers of Qin Opera. In the end, because they often come to the brigade headquarters of Zhangjialing Village to learn, they can also play and sing. So I formed a team myself.

The last four teams are beginners' self-play classes. They can only entertain themselves. The instrument group and singing group often make mistakes. When they are free, they will practice together.

I came to the entrance of Qingyun Temple with the provincial troupe. Although there are more people in Qingyun Temple this year than before, the 13-meter road has been expanded to make pedestrians less crowded. There is a new road from the back of the cattle and sheep market to the farm. There is also a newly built mountain road from the temple to Xigou, which makes this year's temple fair look more lively, but it looks very orderly.

The small stall display area is concentrated by Zhang Guodong in the south of the stage. There are already hundreds of stalls on this flat land of more than ten acres. There are all kinds of casseroles, and he also found that someone in the village was buying barbecue.

The provincial theater troupe came to the audition today, and some young actors came to the audition. Zhang Guodong saw that they also arranged a Wudan play, which was very exciting!The actors from Zhangjialing Village will not be on stage today, and they are still getting acquainted with the feeling of wearing costumes. They used to just sing, but now they have to act, and everyone is actually a little nervous.

Zhang Guodong saw Zhang Guotao following the Qin Opera Troupe all afternoon, running around for Tian Ailing foolishly, everyone's love is different, he was happy for his younger brother.

After watching the play outside Qingyun Temple for a while, the young actors worked hard, but compared with the old actors, they were still far behind.He walked to the interior of Qingyun Temple. After several months of reconstruction, more than half of Qingyun Temple has been completed. Compared with last year, the entire Qingyun Temple is several times larger. There are pavilions, rockery and lotus ponds, and various main Buddha statues and pictures tell stories that attract people to be kind. It's just that the paint of many Buddha statues outside the pavilions has not been painted, which is a bit regrettable.

After walking around Qingyun Temple, Zhang Guodong walked up the steps to Xigou. There were a lot of tourists on the road. When we arrived at the tourist attractions in the future, there would be more people here.

On a platform on one side of the fish pond, there are various barbecue materials. Uncle Liu drove all his sheep over. Some tourists picked live chickens from the farm, and they could directly bring them over and roast them in their hearts. Eat it, or buy marinated beef, pork, and mutton directly here. You can also eat more roasted whole lamb.

Zhang Guodong saw that there are many tourists watching, fewer people eating, and even fewer people wanting to grill by themselves. There are hundreds of tourists standing on the entire barbecue platform to rest and enjoy the scenery, and there are only 5 tables in the restaurant. Today is the first time this place has opened. As long as the service facilities here are well-known, there is no fear that there will be no more tourists coming.

Following the pace of tourists, Zhang Guodong walked around the scenic spot in Xigou, and the tourists beside him gave positive comments on all the construction of Xigou, but Zhang Guodong didn’t see any fishers beside the lotus pond, so he fished in his heart You can catch it by yourself and take it away. Now everyone may not be used to this way of consumption. Most rural people just go away when they see this place.
