Chapter 360: That Deng family is not repairing the village road, they are repairing the national highway!!!

Bobai County.

Master Kong instant noodles factory.

At this time, Deng Shirong was trying the spicy beef noodles that Master Chen had newly developed based on his suggestions.

In the instant noodle kingdom of Master Kong, the best-selling product is undoubtedly the epic classic, the braised beef noodles.

This product, which was born together with Master Kong, can be said to have taken up half of the Master Kong instant noodle kingdom and has been a best-seller for nearly three decades.

There is a reason why Master Kong's Braised Beef Noodles became the first hit product in the history of Chinese instant noodles. According to someone on Bihu, the prototype of Master Kong's Braised Beef Noodles actually came from Sichuan cuisine's red soup beef.

Before liberation, the party-state retreated to Taiwan, and this Sichuan dish was brought to Taiwan by Sichuan veterans.

There, the red beef soup was improved to become sweeter and softer to suit the taste of new Taiwanese from all over the mainland, and finally became Taiwanese beef noodles. It can be said that braised beef noodles, a moderate taste with Sichuan cuisine genes, is the greatest common denominator of the taste of Chinese people from all over the world.

In addition to this most classic braised beef noodles, there is another single product that has made great contributions to the development of Master Kong. This instant noodle product is none other than the spicy beef noodles that Deng Shirong is tasting now.

Thanks to its two trump cards, braised beef noodles and spicy beef noodles, Master Kong was invincible. In the era of explosive sales, its market share once exceeded 98%.

Before Uni-President entered the mainland market, Master Kong was truly lonely as snow.

After the noodles were soaked, Deng Shirong stirred them evenly and started eating the instant noodles under the watchful eyes of Master Chen and a group of managers from the instant noodle factory.

Master Chen was undoubtedly the most nervous one. He had developed several versions of the spicy beef noodles based on Uncle Jiu's suggestions, but had never received Uncle Jiu's approval.

After the success of this development, Master Chen had tasted it in advance and felt that it met the requirements mentioned by Uncle Jiu, so he invited Uncle Jiu to taste it again to see if this development was successful.

Deng Shirong took several mouthfuls of noodles and drank several sips of soup in a row. He stopped to savor the taste after each mouthful of noodles, and did the same after each sip of soup.

The whole tasting process lasted nearly a minute before Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Congratulations, Master Chen. Our second product, Master Kang's Spicy Beef Noodles, has been successfully developed!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the audience cheered instantly.

"Very good!"

"Finally it was developed successfully!"

"Our Master Kong instant noodles finally have a second flavor!"

“…”

Master Chen's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down. He said with a smile on his face, "Thank goodness for Uncle Jiu's guidance. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would take to develop such a flavor, or even if I could never develop such a flavor."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Master Chen, you don't have to be modest. You have a lot of knowledge in this area. I can only give you some suggestions. If you really let me develop it, it will be even more difficult."

Deng Changpei said excitedly: "Jiu Gong, now that the formula has been finalized, I will arrange the production line to prepare for the production of this product."

Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Go!"

The development of this spicy beef noodles began after the instant noodle factory in Wuhan was completed and put into production. The packaging and other aspects had already been designed. Now that the formula has been determined, production can start at any time.

Today, in addition to the instant noodles produced in Bobai County and the branch in Wuhan, a branch in Tianjin is also under construction.

It can be said that everything is progressing very smoothly.

After all, Master Kong instant noodles have now opened up a separate market, and there are currently no instant noodles with similar flavors on the market. This exclusive business, with its classic taste, will naturally quickly capture the domestic instant noodle market.

After solving the second product of the instant noodle factory, Deng Shirong accompanied Director Huang of the Nanning Architectural Design Institute and his team back to Naye Village, and then took them to walk along the section of the river that belonged to the Deng family of Naye.

They measured as they walked, and some people took photos. When they finished walking this section of the river, the length was also measured, which was a total of 3,684 meters.

After walking along this stretch of river, Dean Huang said with emotion: "Boss Deng, if it is built as you said, this project will be quite big!"

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "It's mainly because the low hills near the river are more difficult to deal with. If we want to dig 50 meters deep, it will be a big project."

This section of the river near the road was fine, with only a few sections of road close to the river and one or two low hills affected.

The situation on the other side is different. There are at least a dozen low mountains only 20 to 30 meters away from the river, and even one or two low mountains are right next to the river. If you want to make a depth of 50 meters, you have to flatten the mountains.

Dean Huang pondered and said, "Boss Deng, I have a suggestion. These low mountains have their own characteristics. I think there is no need to move them. Instead of digging the mountains, it is better to move the rivers."

“Instead of digging up the mountain, why not move the river?”

Deng Shirong repeated it and instantly understood the other party's idea. He nodded and said, "President Huang, your idea is very good. Moving the river is indeed easier than digging the mountain. Besides, leaving these low mountains is indeed a beautiful scenery."

Dean Huang said, "Boss Deng, please finalize this first. I will go back and make a preliminary design. Once you have completed the river renovation and reserved enough land on both sides, I will come back to take a look and then modify the design based on the actual situation. It should be almost done."

Deng Shirong asked: "President Huang, when we transform the river, should we also build water walls on both sides of the new river bank?"

Dean Huang said: "Don't build a water wall. It will look neat, but it will lose its natural beauty. If conditions permit, it is best to move some large stones weighing several tons or even more than ten tons from other places and place them on both sides of the river bank, leaving some gaps, and then plant willow trees and other ornamental plants. That will achieve the best effect."

Here is a concept map for your reference. Please see the picture below:

Although Deng Shirong couldn't imagine such a beautiful scene, he heard from the experts that it must be good, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will gather people to do this, and when it is done, I will ask Dean Huang to come and take a look."

"Okay, I'll come back when you guys are done."

Dean Huang and others did not stay in the village for long. They just stayed for one night and left by bus the next day.

After seeing off Dean Huang and others, Deng Shirong informed the old clan leader and then rode a motorcycle to the township government.

Deng Shirong is now in the township government, so he has a lot of face. Someone immediately informed the secretary and the mayor, and then the two leaders came out to greet him in person.

After the two sides greeted each other, Deng Shirong got straight to the point and said, "Two leaders, I came to you this time mainly because I have something to report to you."

Secretary Lin laughed and said, "Uncle Jiu, you are too polite. If you have anything to say, please tell us. We are listening."

Deng Shirong said: "We, the Deng family of Naye, are going to start building new houses next year. These new houses are going to be built on both sides of the river in our village, but some sections of the river are at the foot of the mountain. In order to facilitate our house construction, we plan to move these rivers.

At the same time, some sections of the village roads next to the river also need to be moved, so I came here to say hello to the two leaders, so that we don’t accidentally touch upon the policies when doing these things, which would be a bad ending. ”

Secretary Lin and the mayor were stunned. Building new houses on both sides of the river was already a big deal. Now, in order to build the houses, the river and village roads had to be moved. This was simply a bigger deal among big deals.

After coming back to his senses, Secretary Lin said with emotion: "Uncle Jiu, your Deng family is really bold and daring. As for the policy, there is no problem. You just need to coordinate the land in your village."

Nowadays, land management in the countryside is extremely relaxed. As long as it is your own land, you can build a house or use it for other purposes without asking for anyone's approval.

This situation continued until the beginning of the 21st century, and became more and more stringent year by year. New houses could only be built on the original residential land. It was impossible to build houses at will on the fields as before.

After getting the answer he wanted, Deng Shirong did not stay long. He chatted with the secretary and the mayor for a few words before saying goodbye and leaving.

…

The next day.

Deng Shirong convened a clan meeting again to discuss the issue of moving the river and changing its course.

After explaining the situation to the tribesmen, Deng Shirong concluded, "This is the situation. I think the design experts' suggestion is very reasonable. Digging the mountain will be too much work. It would be better to just move the river and divert it. What do you think?"

Deng Yungui was the first to express his opinion: "I also support the river diversion. Digging a section of river and building a section of road is much easier than digging a few mountains."

Deng Changbao went on to say: "I also support the river diversion. The amount of work involved in digging the mountain is not important. The main thing is that the design experts said that it would be more beautiful if the mountain was left as it is. So it's right to listen to the design experts."

Deng Yunqiang said: "I also support the rerouting of the river."

Other members of the tribe also expressed their support. Rerouting the river was obviously much better than digging the mountain, so everyone naturally knew which choice to make.

Deng Shirong said, "Since everyone has no objection, then let's do this. We will measure the land tomorrow, leaving 50 meters from the hill, cross the entire river, put stakes there as marks, and count how much of each family's land has been occupied. All of this will be recorded so that we can deduct part of the funds later."

Upon hearing this, the tribesmen had no objection.

From this, we can also see that the Naye Deng family in this life is completely different from the Naye Deng family in the previous life. In the previous life, if someone’s land was occupied, it would take an unknown amount of time to argue about it. If they did not get enough benefits, they would definitely not agree.

After all, there have been cases in the village where people were accidentally killed in a fight for a piece of mountain.

But now, no one has any objection just from the clan leader's words. This kind of cohesion is really completely different from that in the previous life.

Deng Shirong was very satisfied with this, with a smile on his face, and continued: "We will build the road first after the land is measured. This is our village's own road. We will try to make the roadbed wider and try to complete it in one go to avoid trouble when it needs to be expanded in the future."

Deng Changxiong asked: "Jiu Gong, how many meters do you think is appropriate for this roadbed?"

Deng Shirong said: "The roadbed must be built at least 60 meters."

He didn't say this casually. In the future, every household in the Naye Deng family will definitely have a car, and not just one or two. If the roadbed is still a "narrow path" like in the previous life, there will be traffic jams just for the cars in the family, not to mention other passing cars.

Moreover, once the villas on both sides of the river are built, this will be the most beautiful rural building complex in the country. In the future, it will definitely attract many tourists to drive here for sightseeing. If the roadbed is not wide enough, the traffic jam will definitely be so severe that people will doubt their lives.

Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to reserve a sufficiently wide roadbed.

However, when the tribesmen heard this, they were all shocked.

They don't know how fast the country will develop in the next 20 to 30 years, and how high the penetration rate of cars will be. In their opinion, a roadbed of more than 60 meters is too exaggerated. Now there are only a few cars passing by this road in their village in a day. There is no need for such a large roadbed!

Deng Changxiong was shocked and said, "Jiu Gong, you are right, right? The roadbed needs to be built more than 60 meters?"

Deng Shirong said: "You are right. We do need to build more than 60 meters. We certainly can't use such a large roadbed now, but it will be useful in more than ten years. We can't just focus on the present, we must look to the future and try to think long-term."

Deng Changbao continued, "Jiu Gong, we all admire your vision. Since you said it will be useful in more than ten years, then it will definitely be useful. I agree that the roadbed should be built to more than 60 meters."

Although others found it unbelievable, the prestige of Deng Shirong, the clan leader, in the clan was really ridiculously high. Seeing Deng Changbao express his agreement, other clan members also expressed their agreement, and no one in the audience objected.

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Then it's settled. We'll measure first and then build the road. Once the road is built, we'll dig the river."

The tribesmen responded one after another and did not disperse until they had almost finished discussing the matter.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The next day, the entire Naye Deng family was in action.

Deng Shirong was the commander-in-chief. In just one morning, the locations of the new river and the new road were determined and wooden stakes were driven in to mark them.

Only one-third of the new highway can be expanded on the original route, and the other two-thirds need to be newly opened up. There are many farmlands on this section, and it is necessary to cross a low mountain. There are also more than a dozen houses of the tribesmen on the new highway.

The farmland problem is easy to solve. It doesn't take much effort to flatten the low hill. After all, there is no need for manual digging. Mechanical tools such as excavators and bulldozers can be used. The more troublesome part is the dozen or so households of the tribe. Their houses are right in the middle of the new road and will definitely be demolished.

But if their house is demolished, where will they live until the new house is built?

Deng Shirong personally talked to these dozen or so clansmen and asked them to live in the Naye Deng community in the county town for a period of time, or to temporarily stay in other brothers' homes, and then move in after the new houses were built.

As for their house, it will definitely not be demolished in vain. It will be converted into money, and when the time comes to raise funds to build a house, the money can be deducted.

The dozen or so families in the clan had no objection to this. When the whole clan was doing something big together, no one would hold back.

After solving the housing problems of these dozen households, there was no suspense about the subsequent construction of the new roadbed. All the tribesmen brought their own tools and began to actively build the road.

Deng Shirong originally intended to just level the road surface, without any plans to pave it with asphalt residue oil or cement. These plans would be made later. However, after careful calculation, he found that even if the roadbed was paved with cement, the cost would not be too high.

The construction cost of a highway mainly includes land acquisition costs, project costs, labor costs, equipment costs, etc.

In later generations, considerable expenses were required in all aspects, and the cost of road construction was naturally high.

However, in this day and age, land is collective assets or fields owned by the tribe members. All you need to do is give the tribe members a certain amount of compensation, and it doesn't cost much money at all.

As for the project cost, sand and stone are free, you just need to pay for cement, and the rest are not too expensive.

There are also labor costs, which accounted for a large proportion in later generations. But now the tribesmen bring their own food to work, so this cost can be ignored.

Finally, there is the cost of equipment. This requires hiring excavators, bulldozers, mixers, etc., which does cost some money.

To sum up, the main expenditure is actually the cost of cement and equipment. If we spend one or two million, it can be said that it is more than enough.

What is one or two million to the current Deng family? Thinking of this, Deng Shirong changed his mind and planned to pave the cement road now, and then plant ginkgo trees on both sides of the road and in the middle of the road.

The fruit of the ginkgo tree is commonly known as ginkgo nut, so ginkgo is also known as the ginkgo tree.

Ginkgo trees grow slowly and have a very long lifespan. Under natural conditions, it takes more than 20 years from planting to bearing ginkgo fruit, and forty years to bear fruit in large quantities. Therefore, some people call it the "Gongsun Tree", which means "Gong plants and grandson eats". It is the oldest tree among trees and has ornamental, economic and medicinal value.

Here is a concept map for everyone:

Plant the ginkgo trees, and after ten or twenty years, when they have grown up, their village road will probably become a popular internet highway in the future.

With this Ginkgo Avenue, the villas on both sides of the river, and the most beautiful ancestral hall in the country, and if some other attractions are built in the future, their village can be transformed into the truly most beautiful village.

The more Deng Shirong thought about it, the happier he became. However, he still held back from expressing his idea. For now, he decided to focus on building the roadbed first. As for paving the cement road, he would have to wait until the food company's dividends were distributed at the end of the year. It would not be too late to raise funds then.

Anyway, there are only two or three months left until the end of the year, so no matter how urgent it is, this little time won’t matter.

All the men, women, young and old in the clan went out together to build the road. Such a large action naturally attracted the attention of other surnames.

Moreover, of this 3,684-meter village road, 1,911 meters belong to the township (Shuangwang-Shabei) road. There are relatively many vehicles passing through here, especially the shuttle bus from Shabei Town to Bobai County, which also has to pass through this section of road.

Therefore, the news caused by the Ye Deng family not only spread quickly throughout Shuangwang, but even the neighboring Shabei Town knew about it.

Originally everyone thought that Naye Deng had simply widened the roadbed a little bit, but as time passed, people who often passed by here felt that something was wrong.

As the new roadbed gradually took shape, those passing by were stunned.

This isn't just widening the roadbed a little bit, it's directly widening the original roadbed by at least 10 times!

The Deng family is not repairing the village road, they are repairing the national highway!!!

The news soon reached the township government. The secretary and the mayor could no longer sit still. They both rode their bicycles to the construction site and found that the newly built village road of Naye Deng was indeed more than 10 times larger than the original one. The two leaders couldn't help but look at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The mayor couldn't help but ask, "Secretary, how about we go ask Uncle Jiu?"

Secretary Lin's curiosity also reached its peak, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go ask Uncle Jiu together."

So, Secretary Lin and the mayor came to Deng Shirong's house as if they were familiar with the place.

At this time, Deng Shirong was sitting at the door smoking a cigarette. When he saw the two leaders coming, he couldn't help but put his cigarette aside, stood up and greeted them with a smile: "Two leaders, what brings you here today?"

Secretary Lin laughed and said, "Uncle Jiu, you are doing something big without making any noise. If others hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known that you guys actually expanded the roadbed of the original village road by more than 10 times. Others said that your Deng family is not building a village road, but a national highway!"

Deng Shirong asked the two leaders to sit down, and then answered: "Two leaders, to be honest, I plan to make our village road the most beautiful village road in the country. Now our Naye Deng's ancestral hall has also been built. This should be the most beautiful ancestral hall in the country so far. In addition, the building complex to be built next year, do you two leaders know what this means?"

The mayor asked subconsciously: "What does it mean?"

Deng Shirong said: "This means that our Bangjie Village has the opportunity to become one of the most beautiful villages in the country. Once the reputation spreads, it will definitely attract many tourists to visit our village in the future. If the number of tourists increases, their consumption here can drive the development of our local economy, which is a good thing."

Secretary Lin and the mayor were shocked when they heard this.

Guilin, Guangxi, became one of the first tourist cities in China to open to the outside world in 1973. As grassroots leaders, they naturally knew this.

If there were tourism resources locally, they would also think about this aspect. Unfortunately, Shuangwang is a deserted place, and it is a foolish dream to develop tourism.

But now, according to Uncle Jiu, he wants to build Bangjie Village into one of the most beautiful villages in the country. Once he succeeds in this and can attract tourists to visit, it will naturally be a good thing for Shuangwang.

Secretary Lin immediately asked, "Uncle Jiu, where is your ancestral hall built? Can you take us there to have a look?"

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Of course, leaders, please follow me."

Having said that, Deng Shirong took the two leaders to the new ancestral hall.

Seeing this majestic and extremely beautiful ancestral hall, Secretary Lin and the mayor were naturally shocked again. No wonder Uncle Jiu said that this ancestral hall should be the most beautiful one in the country. Before seeing the ancestral hall, the two leaders were a little skeptical.

After all, is it so easy to get the title of the most beautiful person in the country?

But after seeing this ancestral hall, Secretary Lin and the mayor were convinced and agreed with Uncle Jiu's statement from the bottom of their hearts. This is definitely the most beautiful ancestral hall in the country, no doubt about it.

After looking around the ancestral hall, Secretary Lin asked seriously, "Uncle Jiu, you said you wanted to make the village road the most beautiful in the country. That must not be as simple as expanding the roadbed. What are your plans, Uncle Jiu?"

Deng Shirong told the two leaders his idea truthfully, and finally said: "After ten or twenty years, when all these ginkgo trees have grown up, this village road will be really beautiful."

Secretary Lin and the mayor couldn't help but look at each other. They both sincerely admired Uncle Jiu. He was already thinking about what would happen twenty years later. His vision was much better than theirs.

Secretary Lin stated, "Uncle Jiu, you can do it according to your ideas. If you need support from me and the mayor, just tell us. We will never refuse to do anything we can."

Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Thank you both leaders first. I will let you know if I need any help."

After that, the two sides chatted for a few more words before the two leaders rode away on their bicycles.
