The Most Dazzling National Style of Comprehension

It is common sense that the distribution of water resources in China is uneven. Even in L County, there are towns and towns that are extremely short of water, such as those places with limestone landforms, where white stone mountains stand on the flat ground.However, Guanjiang Village itself is not short of water.

The area of ​​l Township is full of mud hills. Although the thick loess layer is somewhat barren, there are lush trees growing there.The vast forest stretches for hundreds of kilometers, firmly locks the water, and breeds large and small rivers and mountain streams.After filtering through layers of rocks, soil layers, and tree roots, the water quality in Guanjiang Village is very good, so 20 years later, City L will build a reservoir here to supply water to the whole city.

However, since Guanjiang Village is so rich in water resources, why is it necessary to build water?

Because even if it is a very close river, water needs to be carried into the house.Zhou Man has been thinking about water barriers since he was reborn, but it was busy farming at that time, and everyone had no money, so it dragged on until now.

Zhou Man went to Wu Dong, chatted with the village committee first, and listed the items in the plan for the village committee to see.It is nothing more than where to build water, where to build a reservoir, the route of water pipes, how each household brings water home, what materials are needed, the budgeted funds and time for each item, etc.

"I will pay for the public part, but I have to pay for the water from the pool to go home." Zhou Man said, "Everyone has made a lot of money in the past six months, shouldn't this be missing?"

"No, no!" The village party secretary Tan Xiang hurriedly waved his hands, "Thanks to you collecting things this year, the villagers have made a lot of money. Zhou Man, you also paid for the water supply in the village. Really... really..."

A 50-year-old man who reads little is at a loss for words.

Zhou Man smiled slightly: "It's okay, I was also raised by everyone before."

But the people who raised you are only the people from the Guanjiang River, so what do you care about the other five villages?You are repairing the pool by five villages together!

In fact, the first nine points here are for the villagers, and one point is for myself.Zhou Man thought of the future he planned, and solving the water source was only part of it.But he couldn't say it now, he just asked the leaders of the village committee to go back to hold a meeting with the villagers.Two days later, the team leaders came to tell Zhou Man the result: all the villagers agreed with his plan and were willing to cooperate.

Zhou Man was very satisfied with this, and went out to order materials with Ying Feichi.The construction of water is nothing more than cement and a large number of hard hoses and joints, which have been carefully measured and calculated before Zhou Man.He ordered the things in L County, and the next day according to the agreed time, two tractors were dispatched from each village in the village to pull the materials back.

The settlements in the mountains are all distributed according to the small sandbars accumulated by the rivers, and some are concentrated—for example, Shangguanjiangtun, Changlingtun, Niuhetun, and Shimotun. These four villages only need to build a pool. , but the volume of the pool should be large.Some are very scattered—for example, Xiaguanjiangtun is divided into five places: Chashanping, Bajiaohe, Maozhushan, Menkouhe, and Dumenling. For scattered settlements, only separate pools can be built. Almost finished.

Chashanping got its name because it surrounds the largest piece of tea mountain. The reason why we chose this place as the beginning is because Chashanping is halfway up the mountain, and the river is at the bottom of the mountain, and the place where they usually carry water is between the middle of the mountain and the river.It is impractical to carry water from a low place to a high place, and it is not easy to get a water pump in this day and age.The mountain where Chashanping is located does not have any gullies, so it can only come back from another mountain that is four or five miles away.

Zhou Man had already explained to the people in Chashanping the steps to build water, and there were already more than a dozen men standing on the largest valley in Chashanping, including middle-aged and teenagers.Zhou Man carried the steel drill and shovel on the ground and said, "Come with me."

Ever since the villagers made a lot of money from Zhou Man, and someone vaguely discovered that the radio exercises taught by Zhou Man had the effect of strengthening the body, the villagers respected Zhou Man very much.With Zhou Man's words, everyone took action, resisting hoes and sickles, carrying cement pipes, etc., and set off.

The location of the water stand is on the side of the road out of the village, along a mountain stream about 500 meters up the mountain.Because the mountain is very steep, there are no roads that are more than two meters high, and it is very dangerous to carry things up the mountain.Fortunately, these men were all selected by Ying Feichi himself. Each of them has undergone spiritual energy training, and climbing this mountain is a piece of cake.

After climbing a certain slope, there is a small flat land in sight, and behind the flat land is a cliff nearly [-] meters high, which is completely impossible for ordinary people to climb.A waterfall as thick as an adult man's arm rushes down from the cliff, forming a pool on the flat ground. The water quality is cool and clear, and the fine sand at the bottom is clear and countable.

"That's it." Zhou Man said, everyone put down their tools and started to work.

The men first used the nearby yellow mud and branches to build a half-meter-high embankment in the middle of the pool.The embankment is fixed with tree branches, filled with yellow mud in the middle, and the innermost layer is padded with banana leaves to block the water flow to the greatest extent.

It took a lot of work to build the embankment, and by the time it was done it was lunch time.In this era, few people bring lunch boxes up the mountain, which takes up too much space.Each man holds a rice ball wrapped in banana leaves, with vegetables wrapped in the middle of the rice ball.The dishes used for lunch need to be very particular, especially at noon in this deep winter, they must not be oily and the taste will not be greatly affected when they are cold.

But everything is not difficult for the skillful Yao women. They will plant head vegetables in autumn-head vegetables are vegetables whose stems are as edible as their leaves.After harvesting, wash the head vegetables, and cut the fist-sized cylindrical stems of the head vegetables into moderately sized pieces with a knife, but the head vegetables cannot be cut off, and the stems and leaves must still be connected together.Next, put the head vegetables in the sun for three to five days, dry the head vegetables, and then prepare a large dustpan—the diameter is preferably about 1.5 meters to 2 meters.The head dish can be cut into pieces, or it can be made from the whole plant. In short, the right amount of salt should be applied in the sun, and the head dish should be rubbed vigorously to let the head dish fully absorb the salt.Then it still needs to be dried for a period of time to maximize the moisture of the head vegetables.

After that, you can install the altar.

L city is addicted to three flavors of spicy, sweet and sour. The representative of spicy is snail noodles and various cold dishes (definitely not the kind in a certain country in Northeast China), the representative of sweet is jelly and various desserts, and the representative of sour is all kinds of sour bamboo shoots and sauerkraut. Fruit and vegetable acid.There are two kinds of sauerkraut, one is soaked in the kind of water used to make pickled fish in later generations, and the other is dried pickled sauerkraut.

Because I like to eat sour, there are sour altars everywhere in the urban areas and towns of l city. Later generations will use glass acid altars to make fruit and vegetable acids, but the acid altars are mainly made of ceramics.The shape of the acid altar is a cone with a large top and a small bottom, with a circle of water tanks on the opening and a heavy ceramic cover.

When the materials are ready—for example, the head dish has been salted and dried, it can be put into the sour altar.The requirement for installing the altar is that the tighter the better, it must be filled to the brim.After closing the lid, pour water over the sink to keep air out as much as possible.Once the air is allowed to infiltrate, the sauerkraut may rot, and the whole pot of head vegetables will be ruined.

It takes at least a month to marinate the head dish, and it is completely ok to leave it for a long time. If the time is too long, the head dish is too sour, just wash it with water several times before cooking.However, the sauerkraut should be cooked within one or two months after opening, otherwise the taste will not be very good.

The stems of pickled cabbage are crisp and sour, more appetizing and appetizing than pickled radish, and its leaves are very oil-absorbing, comparable to dried bamboo shoots.The Yao people in Guanjiang Village like to stir-fry bacon with sour head vegetables, especially the kind of bacon that is evenly fat or thin.After being fried, the bacon is golden in color, with a layer of faint oil on the surface but not greasy, and the pickled cabbage will be very fragrant when it absorbs enough oil.Stir-fried bacon with sour head vegetables is of course best eaten while it is hot, but because the oil is absorbed by the sour head vegetables, it will not accumulate oil, so the flavor is also good after cooling. Therefore, this dish is also the most commonly used when working on Yaoren Mountain. side dishes for lunch.

At this moment, a dozen or so men were sitting cross-legged on the flat ground by the mountain stream, each holding a square parcel wrapped in banana leaves, and the sticks of Hanmang were broken off casually and cut with a knife to become chopsticks.When the banana leaves are removed, a scent of pickled cabbage wafts in the air.

The dam in the middle of the pool cut off the flowing water, and the second half without running water gradually dried up.After everyone finished lunch and took a break, they could start the next work again.

The author has something to say: This incident originated from the natural village where my family is located. Because there is no running water, the surrounding villages are more advanced with wells like water pumps, and those who are a little behind will fetch water from the village wells. Only we have it. As long as I remember, there is a tap.

Four or five years ago, my sister was in junior high school in the town, and everyone knew that she came from a very poor and mountainous place.One time when she came back to school from a holiday, her roommate said to her: "Did you know? My house has running water!" My sister replied: "Oh. Before I can speak, I knew that I would play with the faucet and get myself wet In the end, Tou was beaten by my father and sister."

Damn kid, you can blackmail me anytime, anywhere!
