Baisha Township is backed by the endless Qingshi Mountains. At the foot of the mountain flows a clear river. Due to the year-round erosion of the river, large areas of snow-white sand have accumulated on the river banks.
These sands can be used as building materials, so the houses built by people here are stronger and more solid than those in other towns. They are also beautiful and warm in winter and cool in summer.
Unfortunately, such a good resource cannot be transported out due to inconvenient transportation and can only be discarded like garbage.
When the barefoot doctor looked at the white sand, he couldn't help but sigh: "Although there is a river in our village, why are there only pebbles but no sand?"
Zhao Wei nodded: "If we can use this sand properly, we might be able to grow sweet watermelons."
Old Zhou said without thinking: "Grow watermelons? Forget it!"
"Pumpkin and winter melon can be eaten as food, but I've only tasted this watermelon when I bought it at the market. It's as juicy as a raw egg and not tasty. Forget it."
Only then did Zhao Wei realize that delicious watermelons were cultivated through generation after generation of selection.
The weather and soil in their area are not suitable for growing this kind of fruit.
However, if it cannot be improved into sandy land, it can be used for other purposes, such as creating a garden landscape...
Forget it, forget it. People in the village have not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, and he is indeed thinking too much.
During this time, I thought that the flow of the river has become much smaller.
The river is very wide, two to three times as wide as the Yushudun River.
However, the water flow is only half of that in Elm Tree Dun.
This results in the white sand in the river being endless, and from time to time you can see dried fish bones, snails, etc.
"Alas...it has not rained for two months. It seems that drought is inevitable."
Zhao Wei's words sounded heavy.
They in Yushu have emergency plans, but what about other villages?
Baisha Township does not share the same river with them, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, so there is no point in being anxious.
The three of them were sweating profusely and finally arrived at the township government meeting room around 9:30.
At this time, there was still half an hour before the meeting started, and the conference room was already crowded.
There were too many people, it looked chaotic and hot.
Everyone was asking for water.
The township government did not prepare that much water, which made everyone a little annoyed. Some people ran around looking for water, making a mess.
After everyone finally sat together, when they called the roll, they found that President Huang was absent. The only one who attended the meeting was the one suffering from polio.
Zhao Wei raised his eyebrows. He shouldn't gloat over other people's misfortune, but he couldn't stop the corners of his mouth from rising. It was not his fault.
The man stood up with a heavy face and said to the people present: "Our President Huang was accidentally bitten by a snake when he came here. He is now receiving treatment in the health center. I'm afraid he can't attend this meeting."
Everyone hurriedly asked what kind of snake it was and whether it was poisonous.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that it was just a slightly poisonous pheasant neck.
The back of this snake is grass green with red markings on the nape of the neck. The fangs are located at the back of the mouth, making it relatively difficult to inject venom, and it usually does not easily cause serious harm to humans.
However, local swelling, pain and other reactions may still occur after being bitten.
It means that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped, and the person who is bitten will still suffer.
This incident happened in Baisha Township and was an accident while on official business, so the township head quickly sent an official to the health center to express his condolences.
As for the man driving the car, he had a sullen face and looked like he wanted to die.
There was a snake in the carriage and it hurt people. He was directly involved.
However, the man with polio still felt a little upset when he saw Zhao Wei and the other three acting as if nothing had happened.
"Today...if it weren't for our President Huang who saved you from the disaster, do you think you could still sit here leisurely?"
"It is reasonable for you all to be grateful and go visit and express your gratitude!"
Haha, you are thinking about their canned fruits and you even come to visit them. But you are just like this, you only deserve to eat shit.
Zhao Wei smiled coldly: "Have you heard of this saying? Those who do evil will eventually perish! This is the retribution you deserve for robbing the carriage."
"God is watching what we do, so who can escape the punishment?"
"I advise you to be more polite in your speech, otherwise when your tongue gets sore, don't blame others for it!"
After giving him a righteous lecture and cursing him at the same time, he couldn't bear this bad temper in vain.
Old Zhou and the barefoot doctor had long been fed up with their behavior, and they fought back without giving in.
"Stop talking nonsense here. Do you dare to say that you are not the one who made the mistake first?"
"Bah! You are responsible for all the sins you have committed, and yet you still want us to thank you. Check your stinking conscience and see if you are worthy!"
…
Zhao Wei and the other two were speechless because of polio and they could only open their mouths. They looked not very fluent and were left speechless. They could only swallow their anger.
"Just wait for me, humph!"
After saying the harsh words, the man didn't stop. He turned around and whispered something to the other people who were sitting close to him.
At this time, the meeting had not officially started yet, and there was a lot of noise. Zhao Wei and the others were also some distance away from this person, so they should not be able to hear what these people were saying.
But he is a man with sharp ears and eyes, and is always good at collecting information from clues.
Among these people, someone would look up and glance at them from time to time, and even a blind person could sense the ill intentions in their eyes.
Zhao Wei would not sit still and wait for death. He hurriedly asked the people around him to find out the origins of these people.
When everything was busy and lively, the meeting finally began.
At the beginning, I mainly conveyed the spirit of the above documents, and then talked about the current situation.
Then everyone shared their views and talked about the difficult problems encountered during breeding, and discussed on the spot how to solve them.
There are so many people with different opinions on these things, and it is impossible for everyone to have a chance to speak.
Zhao Wei came here mainly for the purpose of learning. It's no wonder that everyone shared their experiences without reservation, and he really learned a lot from them.
Of course, there is not only theory, but also practice.
The meeting lasted just over an hour, and the rest of the time was spent at the cattle market.
This is the breeding and trading base for livestock in the surrounding area.
At this time, healthy animals are separated from unhealthy ones.
Everyone looked at the healthy ones first.
The main purpose is to see if there are any suitable cubs that can be bought and brought back to the village to raise.
Yushudun was naturally short of livestock, mainly because there was not much spare money on the books, so Zhao Wei did not bring an accountant this time.
I never thought about buying this.
But people from other villages have already started picking and choosing among the animals, preparing to negotiate a deal.
As long as you negotiate a good price, you can buy it and then expand the scale of breeding.
Whoever buys more in the market will naturally attract praise, and people will say that the village is developing well and has a promising future.
People in Zhao Wei's village didn't buy any, so they were really rare and would stand out in the crowd.
