Reborn Craftsman

Chapter 332 Going to Xiangxi
Li Dawei was full after eating and drinking.

I went back happily.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon.

He brought the drafted contract.

Liu Xing looked at it, corrected several terms that were not good for future cooperation, then reprinted two copies, and signed on them.

As for the money issue, there is not so much cash at home now, and it is stored in the bank, so Liu Xing and Li Dawei agreed to go to the bank on the eighth day.

If Liu Xing is not around, just look for his father Liu Dageng.

Don't underestimate this cooperation.

It is of great significance to Liu Xing's future development, at least it has taken the first step towards entering the national catering industry.

However, Liu Xing was not happy enough to come, he was going to entertain the guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, this time the guests were all from Dongyu Village, including Ahu, Wang Afu, Wang Jiabao, Yaya's parents, etc. A dozen or so came, and they sat down at a large table as soon as Hula greeted them.

Liu Xing had no choice but to go back into the kitchen and get busy.

Seeing that Liu Xing was a bit too busy, Ah Hu hurried forward to fight, but he soon became depressed. Only then did he realize that Liu Xing was not only very good at making bamboo strips, but also that his cooking skills were not so good. There are very few opportunities to reveal it in front of them.

This revelation, the sharp knife skills, and the skillful cooking movements made Ah Hu, who wanted to help, had to stand aside and watch as he helped serve the dishes.

Liu Xing saw Ah Hu's expression, but he didn't explain anything.Because the more you explain something, the less clear it is.

After taking care of these people, Liu Xing realized that their New Year greetings to him were secondary, and the most important thing was to transport the bamboo and fir logs that had been piled up in the grain drying field of Dongyu Village and put them into the greenhouse.

In other words, the villagers of Dongyu Village wished that this year would pass quickly so that they could earn more money.

Liu Xing had no choice but to give the key to the shed to Wang Jiabao for safekeeping and let them go.

After sending them off, their parents also came back.

Sikong Lei and Lin Putao also came over to eat with Sikong Maomao, Zhang Xiaoyu and Zhang Xiaoying also came. This time Liu Xing didn't become a chef, but let his mother show her skills.

Just as he was about to hide and find a quiet place to read, unexpectedly, Mr. Liu showed up at the gate of the preserved egg breakfast shop with Deng Qi.

Liu Xing was stunned and greeted him unexpectedly: "Happy New Year Liu Lao! Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes!"

The reason for the surprise is that today is only the fifth day of the fifth day, and there are still a few days before the eighth day of the agreed day!

"You boy!" Old Liu shook his head with a faint smile, and took out a red envelope that he had prepared a long time ago and handed it to Liu Xing.

Seeing this, Little Peanut, who was warming by the fire, hurriedly ran to Liu Xing's feet, raised his head and said to Liu Lao: "Grandpa, Gong Xi Fa Cai, here are the red envelopes!"

"Hahaha... Good! Good! Liu Xing, your little sister will definitely have great promise in the future, ha ha ha..." Little Peanut was called by his grandfather, but Mr. Liu was so happy, he stepped forward and squeezed the little peanut ball With a round face, he took out two red envelopes and put them in the pocket on Little Peanut's chest.

"Go and play!" Liu Xing waved to Little Peanut dotingly.

"Hmm, um!" Little Peanut bouncing away with a red envelope in his hand.

Zhu Meiling brought tea to Old Liu, but because she had never spoken, she just smiled and left in a hurry.

Elder Liu didn't care too much about it, but took Liu Xing to a seat by the window and sat down: "Your year is over?"

"No, but it's almost there!" Liu Xing replied.

"Then can you go to Xiangxi with me in advance?" Mr. Liu took a sip of tea and said seriously.

"Go to Xiangxi? Why?" Liu Xing was a little puzzled.

"You should have heard before that Deng Qi also gave you the relevant design drawings. I asked you today to build a bamboo bridge using Nanzhu!" Liu Lao said slowly, but his voice was full of helplessness.

If it weren't for the remoteness and poverty of Xiangxi, he wouldn't have come to Liu Xing at this time and used the bamboo to build a bamboo bridge leading to the outside.

In other words, do it without money.

If he had money, he would have sent some bridge-building experts to Xiangxi, instead of looking for Liu Xing.

As long as the bamboo bridge built by Liu Xing can be managed for three to five years and play a transitional role, then his trip will not be in vain.

Of course, the most important thing is that there are abundant bamboo resources in western Hunan. Once it is possible to use them to build a bridge, it can save a lot of money.

How could Liu Xing not know the meaning of Liu Lao's words, he thought for a while and said: "Building a bamboo bridge is not as simple as it is said, it is very difficult, I have to do a field investigation, there are many related The equipment must be prepared in advance!"

He had built the bamboo bridge before he was reborn, and the location was also in western Hunan. He had participated in the construction of hanging foot bridges, lifting dragon bridges, etc., so it was not difficult for him.

But it's a big project.

Really big project.

Without enough people, and enough time, there is no way to get it done.

"I'm looking for you now just to go on a field trip. I'll talk about other things later. After all, we still have a pig shed in Xiangbei Province that hasn't been settled yet!" Old Liu said with a wry smile.

"That's true!" Liu Xing nodded.

Everything has to be first-come-first-serve. Since Mr. Liu said so, it is a good choice to go to Xiangxi for a field trip first, and it is the Spring Festival period, not the school period, so there is nothing to worry about.It is estimated that Liu Lao also made this decision out of such considerations.

"Then do you have time now?" Elder Liu asked after looking at the time.

"Go to Xiangxi now?" Liu Xing was a little surprised.

To be honest, he was really not prepared at all.

"Then when are you going to go? The pig shed is about to start working!" Old Liu laughed.

"Okay then!" Liu Xing got up and talked to his parents. Seeing that his parents had no objections, he immediately took Si Konglei, followed Liu Lao, got into the off-road vehicle, and headed for Xiangxi.

The reason why he brought Sikong Lei with him was firstly for the sake of safety. As for the second, Sikong Lei had told Liu Xing before that he had two comrades in arms in western Hunan. If he went together, if something happened, You can also say hello and help.

……

Xiangxi is in the territory of southern Hunan Province, and it is more than 300 miles away from Qingshi Village, which means that it is actually not far by car.

But in 93, the road leading to Xiangxi was only a country road paved with river sand, and the road was full of potholes and it was very difficult to walk.

Even if it was an off-road vehicle this time, Liu Xing and Sikong Lei almost vomited out the food in their stomachs.

This is when Deng Qi only drove the off-road vehicle to a speed of forty yards. If it reached seventy or eighty yards, no one would be able to bear it.

But the strange thing is that Liu Lao who was sitting in the back was very calm, and nothing happened when he closed his eyes.

But when it got dark and approached the border of Xiangxi, Liu Xing knew that everything Liu Lao did was pretending, because the moment Deng Qi stopped the off-road vehicle, Liu Lao opened it impatiently. door, and then paled and vomited.

"The off-road vehicle in front can't get through, so we can only park here!" Deng Qi seemed to be very familiar with Xiangxi, and after waiting for Mr. Liu to rest for a while, he went straight to the nearest farmhouse with lights on.

Sikong Lei knew that Liu Lao was not in good health, so he shook his head and squatted down, carried Liu Lao on his back, and followed behind Deng Qi.

Liu Xing looked around at the environment, and followed closely behind in surprise.

If he remembered correctly.

This place seems to be a crucian carp village.

That is, the village where he got his wife.

The farm where Deng Qi went seemed to be somewhat related to Jiefa's wife.

It seems to be called Tang Huasong, but this Tang Huasong is not a good guy.

When he fell in love with his wife, Tang Huasong tried his best to stop him in the middle, and even said a lot of bad things about him in front of his wife's parents, but in the end he failed.

Because his wife believed him, not Tang Huasong.

Later, when he had children with his wife, he found out that this Tang Huasong wanted to introduce his wife to his son as his daughter-in-law, so he made things difficult for him in every possible way.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing laughed at himself. Seeing Deng Qi knock on Tang Huasong's door, he immediately waited quietly with Sikong Lei.

There was a crunch.

The door opened, and a slightly hunchbacked middle-aged man came out in surprise. When he saw Liu Xing and his group, he asked, "What are you guys doing here for Chinese New Year?"

This hunchbacked middle-aged man was Tang Huasong. Liu Xing glanced at him, and he was only a little younger than the Tang Huasong he remembered decades later.

"Old man, we want to stay with you for one night. Is the money enough?" Deng Qi took out 200 yuan and put it in Tang Huasong's hand, and said with a smile.

"You are an old man, I am 41 years old, don't talk nonsense!" Tang Huasong glared at Deng Qi, but still took the 200 yuan in his hand: "You can stay, but there are only two beds in my house. The four of you are afraid that you will have to squeeze into a bed to sleep together, and my family doesn’t have any extra food, so if you want it, you must pay for it!”

"Good! Good!" Deng Qi agreed with a headache.

There was no other way, and it was also because of his poor eyesight that he couldn't see Tang Huasong's real age in the dark night, that's why he made such a joke.

In fact, Tang Huasong's temper is quite good.

If you call a person who is only 41 years old an old man in a big city, you are afraid that if his temper comes up, he will beat him up.

Liu Xing watched from the side and suppressed a smile, but didn't say much.

Sikong Lei did the same, immediately put Liu Lao on the ground.

Watching Deng Qi choose the terrain, he drove the off-road vehicle around and stopped at the grain drying field at the gate of Tang Huasong's house.

To be on the safe side, Deng Qi followed Tang Huasong into the adobe brick house to check the environment, but soon came out with a dark face, and he walked up to Mr. Liu: "That...the conditions of this family are really bad Now, there are really only two beds, and they are all made of straw, do you want to stay overnight? And four people are squeezed into one bed?"
