Chapter 143: Safe Commune
Thinking of this, I suddenly slapped my thighs. I could open the cement factory on the 19th day of the lunar month to seek good luck. In addition, on the 9th day of the 9th day of the lunar month, it is called the "Old Man's Day". In other words, it is the 25th day of this month. There are still ten days left, so I can open the coal factory on the 20th day of the lunar month.
"Huh!" Fang Dajun suddenly exclaimed and found that the road surface under his feet was very special. The slope of this mountain road exceeded 70 degrees. It should have been very steep, but it is rare to mine the mountain road relatively wide, more than one meter wide. It would be good if the ordinary mountain road is half a meter wide.
"This is actually all soaked in sand and stones." Fang Dajun was surprised. Although he had the memory of his former master in his mind, it was not his personal experience after all. It was impossible to remember some details so clearly, such as the "soaked in sand and stones" under his feet now.
The so-called soaked sand stone is actually weathered sandstone. Sichuan is mud sandstone. Its grains are delicate and the texture is soft. It is very suitable for building decoration materials, especially for carving stones. In addition, river sand can be used as building materials.
The price of building sand is very cheap and there is not much profit. Although the price of carvings is high, they were later generations and cannot be sold even if they are mined now.
What surprised Fang Dajun was that this mountain range was almost full of sandstone. In this way, a large number of houses were built in the future. Even if most of the villagers in Beidou built buildings, they would be self-sufficient in the sand.
I shook my head. It was useless to think so far now. I kept stepping on an irregular stone staircase composed of sandstone and climbing up the mountain step by step. The surrounding greening was very good, and there was no way. The little soil on the sandstone could not grow food. Only plants with strong vitality could survive.
But it’s different when you reach the top of the mountain. The view becomes wider instantly, the terrain on the mountain is relatively flat, and of course there are higher mountains. Such terrain is very rare.
Generally, there are many rocks on the mountains and less available land. There are few trees on the mountain in Ping'an Commune and have vast land. Unfortunately, there is a characteristic on the top of the mountain, which is relatively less water, which leads to not much farmland and the harvest of rice cannot be compared with the foothills. On the other hand, there is more land than farmland, so it is better than the foothills in dryland crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, wheat, etc.
However, the vast land is only because the land at the foot of the mountain is too scattered. The real land area is not too large. Under the current environment, it is already the limit to feeding about 1,000 people, because now we have to obligately submit the purchase of grain.
Purchase, unified purchase, and over-purchase are different concepts. They represent different periods later, until the country abolishes various land taxes. This land has truly become the farmers' own. Unfortunately, by that time, the rural areas in many areas were already empty.
"Dajun, will we go to the commune first?" Qin Er's voice sounded.
Fang Dajun came to his senses and said, "Yeah, go directly to the commune."
Walking along the avenue, I soon met several villagers who were digging sweet potatoes. The soil was a little red, but it was not clay. The sweet potatoes dug out were also red. There are three varieties of sweet potatoes in the local area. One is white and yellow in color, small in size, with small leaves, but a string can be formed under one bead; the other is relatively large in breast diameter, which is the variety used for "roasted sweet potatoes" in the city, which is more suitable for people to eat; the last type of skin is completely red, and it is also slender, but it is larger in size and has larger leaves than the first type of thin-leafed potato.
The three sweet potatoes cannot really distinguish between good and bad, and the yields are not much different. However, for the needs of the planting environment, the production team will plant them in a set of ways and choose the appropriate environment to plant the corresponding varieties. The top of the mountain has sufficient light and long daily time. Red-skinned sweet potatoes are the most suitable.
Fang Dajun smiled because the starch content of red-skinned sweet potatoes was higher than that of the other two, and they were all white when cooked, and when the other two turned yellow and red after they were cooked.
Judging from the production of Jiaoshan vermicelli, I can’t say that I can go to Ping'an Commune to buy some sweet potatoes back.
I didn't stop at my feet and didn't ask the villagers to lead the way because I could already see the commune's buildings, so I could just walk over directly. The distance was not far, but it was not close.
On the way, I passed the gravel field and saw the houses of many villagers, both in three styles: earthen walls, stones and wooden.
It was not until he saw a super large pond that he was surprised. There were many people washing clothes by the pond. Looking at the traces on the side, it should be a concentrated place for domestic water.
Following the ridge of the pond to the opposite side, Ping'an Commune arrived in front of you. The foundation was more than ten meters higher than the pond below. It was called a commune, but it looked like a village with dozens of houses scattered, and the commune building was in the middle.
Qin Da had already come and took him directly to the top. There was a main road more than three meters wide, paved with irregular bluestone slabs. Both sides were villagers' houses. After a bend, he saw a wooden house. It was not an attic. It only had one floor, and there were tiles on the top, but the wall structure below was wood.
This is Ping'an Commune. So far, this building has been around for twenty years. The years have left traces on the wood. It has turned black, but it has not decayed.
At this time, he had the illusion of entering the scenic area. There was a wooden door in front of him, with large wooden pillars on both sides. Today's wooden buildings are made of solid wood and have no laminates and other processing products, so they are all strong and durable.
The wooden door was not closed, and the two walked straight in, which shocked him instantly, making him feel like he wanted to buy it here and live in it, because the style was a bit like the ancient buildings played in TV series, similar to garden courtyards.
But I saw a long corridor with solid wood floors on the ground. Next to the corridor are houses. Flowers and birds are carved on the wooden doors, as well as auspicious beasts such as lions.
Overall, it looks like a rectangle with rockery and strange rock carvings in the middle, some flowers and plants that are not expensive in his eyes, but are very pleasing to the eye, and a small fish hall. If a small pavilion is being built, it would be perfect.
I didn't see a person, and there was nothing that could be accurately expressed in the age, such as wooden barrels, stone mills, and wooden tables. There were also those in ancient times. Yes, his feeling at this time was that he had reached a more age, not the current 1980s.
But Qin Da's voice immediately pulled back his fantasy, "Da Jun, let's go there quickly, the cadres' offices are ahead." Qin Da has been here, and the outside can be played casually, but the front cannot go there, and those cadres are going to scold them.
"Yeah!" Fang Dajun nodded, tidying up his mood, it is important to do the important thing.
