This time, the Liang family has accumulated nearly a hundred guitars, which are being loaded one by one into the 130 train carriage by the guitar factory's employees.
To reduce vibration, the floor of the carriage was lined with thick foam, and each guitar case was also separated by foam to prevent unnecessary damage caused by vibration and friction.
The guitar box caught Liang Liang's attention.
These packages are no longer the kind of ready-made guitar bags you buy, but rather guitar cases like those found on high-end guitars.
Of course, the guitar case wasn't made of leather or high-quality leather, but rather covered with a small canvas.
"Was this guitar case also bought from Xiliu Market?"
Liang Liang asked Liang Feng.
Liang Feng shook his head: "These were made by Xu Mei's family and Zhang Xue's family. I taught them how to make them. They processed the materials they brought back from Xiliu themselves. I give them a profit of five yuan per piece."
Liang Liang blinked a few times: "Who taught you to make violin cases?"
"I figured it out myself. The frame inside is made of plywood, and the outside is covered with canvas."
Oh no! The Liang family has already produced one monster, and it feels like another one is about to emerge.
Liang Liang touched the violin case.
There must have been a sponge padding under the canvas, it felt very soft to the touch, and below that was a plywood frame.
I wonder if this box made of plywood is sturdy?
If the outer layer were replaced with a waterproof fabric, it would look more upscale.
Although this violin case is a bit low-end, it's still better than the original bag.
Making such a box, including labor and other costs, doesn't seem cheap.
This can be considered as boosting the local economy and creating supporting industries.
Once it reaches a certain scale in the future, it will also drive economic projects in areas such as transportation and packaging. If more companies invest in processing and production, the scale of the industry will be even larger.
The small town featured in the movie "City of Rock" has a landmark building called the Big Guitar.
In the future, a large guitar should be erected at the intersection of the road leading from Gaobao Township to Pingshan Village as a road sign.
A larger guitar will be built in Liangshuiwan Village as a landmark.
It seems like a very interesting thing to think about.
"Do you only sell electric guitars, not acoustic guitars?"
"Yes, we sell them! Acoustic guitars sell more than electric guitars."
"I also have a wooden guitar production site in Lianwan City, producing low- to mid-range wooden guitars. Would you be interested in taking a look?"
"You also manufacture acoustic guitars?"
"I started producing acoustic guitars more than a month earlier than electric guitars."
"Leave your address and phone number, and we'll go check it out after we ship this batch of goods back."
Liang Liang left them her phone number and address.
After packing the guitar, Wang Xueshan and Zhang Hongyan waved goodbye to Liang Liang. They set off now and hoped to return to Xiliu before dark.
Liang Liang escorted the car all the way to the front gate, only turning back into the courtyard after the car disappeared around the corner.
Why don't I see Gao Xing?
"He was in charge of breaking up logs behind the house."
"Okay! I'll go check behind the house."
The timber that Liang Liang bought was piled up in the mountain valley behind the house. At the northernmost end, far from the houses, a band saw house was built. Gao Xing and two middle-aged men from Liangshuiwan Village were responsible for splitting the timber into wooden planks of various sizes and then stacking them neatly.
When Liang Liang arrived, Gao Xing and another person were splitting a foot-thick ash tree into planks on a band saw.
Upon seeing Liang Liang, Gao Xing stopped what he was doing and greeted her.
"Uncle Gao! You absolutely have to wear a mask! This is no joke!"
"When I get hot while working, I forget to wear it!"
"You have to wear it even if it's hot! You absolutely have to! You have to take responsibility for your health."
"Why are you back again?"
"There are some things that need to be taken care of."
Liang Liang called Gao Xing aside: "Uncle Gao! Haven't you started cleaning the house yet?"
“I haven’t even started harvesting my land yet. I’ll grab some work from your area these next couple of days, then go home to harvest the crops. I’ll try to finish all the work at home within a week.”
"Once you've finished your farm work, I'll take you to Lianwan City to record the album."
"Ah! We don't have to go south anymore?"
“I built my own recording studio, so I can record demos and master tapes right here in Lianwan.”
"That's great! I was worried because going to the south would mean suffering a lot, but this time I won't have to suffer."
What's so bad about going to the South? Just treat it as a vacation!
"It's better if you don't go! Otherwise, you'll probably be terrified when you see flying cockroaches."
His eyes widened with delight: "Cockroaches can fly?"
"They can not only fly! Do you believe me if I tell you that cockroaches in the south are about the same size as mice?"
His happy eyes flashed with fear.
Upon seeing this, Liang Liang immediately had the idea of scaring Gao Xing.
"In Guangdong Province, if you see a hair or two on the corner of a table, reaching out to pull it out will definitely give you a big surprise!"
"What surprise!"
"You might just pull a huge cockroach out of the corner!"
"A cockroach the size of a hanging bird? Is the hanging bird too small, or is the cockroach too big?"
"Of course, the cockroach was too big!"
"Oh no! I won't be able to eat tonight, and I probably won't sleep well either. If I dream about a cockroach that big, I'll help you stay single for life!"
Liang Liang laughed heartily.
"This is just a cockroach. If you saw a southern rat, you'd probably be ready to die. Imagine what it would be like to see a rat the size of a cat running like a galloping horse?"
"Get out of here right now!"
Gao Xing quickly chased Liang Liang away. If he didn't get rid of him, this guy might say something different later, and Gao Xing would really have nightmares tonight.
"I still have the giant centipede to tell you about. Don't you want to know?"
Liang Liang was still unwilling to be pushed along by Gao Xing.
"And there are giant earthworms that look like walking sticks—I bet you've never even heard of them!"
Gao Xing pushed Liang Liang faster than usual.
"Alright, alright! Let's not talk about animals anymore, let's talk about the album, okay?"
Hearing Liang Liang say this, she was so happy that she stopped pushing him away.
“You originally had four songs, and I’ve recently written four more. We only need to work on two more for this album.”
Liang Liang suddenly remembered a singer named Chen Xing.
He has quite a few songs with a strong local flavor.
Liang Liang didn't move on "The Wanderer's Song," since that's how the other person became famous; he had to give them a chance to become famous! But he didn't hold back on "Looking Towards My Hometown."
Let's just pick this one. His songs are always so melancholic; picking too many will make me feel uncomfortable.
That's pretty much it for the album; we can just add one more song.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the workers left for the day, and the mother cooked and fried food in the house. Liang Liang and Liang Feng sat at the door of the east wing.
The small workshop currently has 34 employees and can make an average of ten guitars a day. The parts used are still being shipped from the south for the time being.
