80s Taoism

"Crazy! I can't see such a big character, so I'm blind? Am I the bus going to Zijiang?" These days, the driver is as pushy as the state officials, even more than the state officials. If they have a bad temper, they will scold Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye when they hear that they are not going in the same direction.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Zhang Youping was also very helpless, and could only watch the bus speeding away with a smile.

I did meet a few cars going to Zijiang, but they were all packed. These cars are for the sake of fellow villagers, so I kindly reminded Zhang Youping and his wife: "If you don't buy tickets at the station, it is impossible to get on the bus. It's not that I won't let you two get on the bus, but if the bus is crowded, I will let you get on. After all, no one wants to celebrate the New Year on the road. You might as well celebrate the New Year here. It's the same thing after the New Year."

It was getting dark gradually, but the couple still didn't get in the car. Just as he was about to walk back with his luggage, a large truck suddenly stopped.

"Where are you going?" The truck window opened, and the driver poked his head out and asked. Although he spoke Mandarin, he had a strong Zijiang accent.

"We are going to Zijiang. It's a pity that we can't get a car now." Zhang Youping felt a little surprise in his heart, feeling that there might be unexpected gains.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get a bus now. We are also going to Zijiang. If you two are not afraid of the cold, you can sit in our car. I think you have brought your own luggage, put on thicker clothes, and covered your body. It should be able to withstand it. Sit or not, it's up to you. We are all fellow villagers, and I will not charge you money." The master was very enthusiastic.

"Sit, sit." Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye were overjoyed. He hurriedly climbed into the compartment of the truck, where some woven bags were placed in a mess, Zhang Youping quickly piled these woven bags together, he knew that these woven bags were life-saving things for the couple along the way. Although GD is warmer than my hometown, it is also very cold in winter. Even though the compartment is slightly backed by the wind, it is still very cold. If there is no something to keep out the cold, the blowing all the way to Zijiang, I am afraid that the two of them will have to be blown into popsicles.

"Girl, don't be afraid of getting dirty. Cover it with this woven bag. The road is still long. Don't think it's not cold now, I don't know what it will be like at night." Seeing that Liu Qiaoye still felt a little dirty, Zhang Youping said hastily.

"As long as I can go home, I'm not afraid of any dirt." Liu Qiaoye said and squeezed into a nest piled up with woven bags with Zhang Youping. The couple huddled together, looking at the sky that was constantly receding, their hearts were like an arrow.

Meiziao Horticultural Field.

A lot of people came from the village, just like the production team held a meeting. The concrete floor of the gardening field was full of people, all of whom brought benches from their own homes. After the distribution of fields to households, it has been a long time since such a conference has been held. Now many people have TV sets at home, even if there are movies in the village, it is not possible to gather so many people.

"Biaohua, our village has a lot of empty land. Since you agreed to Dayun, if everyone wants to plant tea trees, you can't refuse."

"What does my promise to Dayun have anything to do with everyone planting tea trees? Whoever I want to promise to is my personal matter. The matter of this kind of tea is not 100% reliable. No one can guarantee that the tea will be the same as this year in the future. This tea is not harvested by me. Zijiang Tea Factory is a state-owned factory. Now that Uncle Zhao is the factory manager, he can guarantee to come to us to collect tea, but in the future, if the factory manager is changed, the emperor and courtiers will not come here to collect tea in the future. This tea is rotten on the street. You must blame me But Da Yun promised that planting tea is his own business. Zijiang City came to us to collect tea, and he would sell it. If other people don’t come here to collect tea, he will not blame me. Who can do it? This tea tree does not grow fast, and maybe the market will change when the tea tree grows. Now other places are planting fruit trees. Children, don't ask me to make decisions on such a big matter. I can't guarantee anything." Although Zhang Jiaohua is young, he also knows that he can't give guarantees to others casually.

Zhang Dechun also quickly said, "Jiao Hua is right about this matter. Although Jiao Hua is a capable person, he is a child after all. Everyone wants to grow tea, and I have no objection, and I encourage everyone to do so. But you have to be aware of the risks involved. Now there is no problem with planting tea trees in a swarm. Maybe the tea has formed a scale, which is also a good thing for our village. Experts in the province have said before that the climate in Meiziao is very suitable for growing tea. There are more than 100 mu of tea. But there are risks. We don’t have the technology to process tea, and we don’t have a stable market. Now the only way out is to sell to Zijiang Tea Factory. Zijiang Tea Factory is a city unit with strong strength. The demand for tea is also very large every year. However, there are so many counties in Zijiang. In Gezhuping Town alone, there are several gardening farms. The scale is larger than our village. Now the market for tea is good, we know how to expand planting, and others know it too. In the future, there will be so much tea that no one wants it. Therefore, you have to decide whether to grow tea or not.”

These people from the village came to the garden just to get a guarantee from Zhang Jiaohua. No one wants to take this risk. Who can be like Zhang Dayun who only needs Zhang Jiaohua to agree to give him a technical guidance.

"You can't say that. This garden is the collective property of our village, and now the beggar alone makes money. The beggar eats meat alone, so why can't the villagers have some soup?" Ma Youshan, a young man from the horse stall, immediately squeezed into the crowd and yelled.

"Who said that? Do you dare to speak up? Does anyone remember what it was like when Jiaohua took over the gardening field? It has been contracted out for more than ten years, and the village has not received a penny of the contracting fee. The two hundred acres of tea trees are almost dead. Yes, Jiaohua took over the gardening field. Ma Youshan, this garden is for you, do you dare to contract it?" Zhang Dechun pointed to Ma Youshan who was in the crowd.

"Why don't I dare? If you ask Zhang Jiaohua to let me out, I dare to take over, and I will double the contract fee!" Ma Youshan really stood up.

"You dare to think about it. If someone else has made money, you dare to take over. Let me tell you, even if the caller agrees, I will not agree. This garden is in your hands, and it will be defeated in less than a year. You can see what the garden looked like before and what it looks like now when others make money. Although there is only such a garden in our village, there are many barren land and hills. If you have the ability to contract a mountain yourself, within ten years, I will not charge you a penny Who wouldn’t pick up ready-made ones? Zhang Dayun dares to plant tea trees in barren hills. Do you dare?” Zhang Dechun pointed to Ma Youshan’s nose and said.

These people came together, there must be capable people joining forces, Zhang Dayun is just a pawn, how could Zhang Dechun not see such an obvious situation?

Ma Youshan didn't dare to speak anymore, he couldn't take the trick.

Zhang Dechun already knew this was the result, "I know some people are jealous when they see beggars making money, but let me put it aside, no one in this gardening farm or pig farm can get money from it during the contract period. Don't forget, beggars are not just for everyone!"

Zhang Dechun snorted.

"Secretary Dechun, from what you said, you didn't come here to grab the beggar's gardening field. You just wanted the beggar to lead the whole village out of poverty and become rich. Is there something wrong with this?" Liu Baoyi, the contractor of the consignment point, stood up.

"Liu Baoyi, I knew that the one who could bring the whole village here must be a capable person. Sure enough, you are a capable person. But you also contracted the gardening farm and pig farm before. Why did the gardening farm turn into a barren hill in your hands, and the pigsty of the pig farm is rotten? It's good that the village didn't ask you for money, and you're here to come up with a trick!" Zhang Dechun said, pointing to Liu Baoyi's nose.

Liu Baoyi showed embarrassment on his face, but he was not afraid of Zhang Dechun's anger, "It's all in the past. This time, I sincerely hope that Jiaohua can lead our whole village to become rich. Didn't Comrade Xiaoping say that some people get rich first, and then lead the people to take the road of common prosperity. Now that the Jiaohua family has become rich, should we also lead the whole village to common prosperity? Everyone said, right?"

"That's right, let's get rich together!" Someone immediately stood up and echoed.

"Liu Baoyi, if you use your cleverness in the right place, do you still need to think hard about calculating others? Beggars are just starting up now, and all the money they earn is invested in gardening and pig farms. And he is still a child. How can he lead the whole village to become rich? You are capable, why don't you lead the whole village to become rich? Come on, tell me, if you are right. I will also follow Beggars to help the whole village." Zhang Dechun sneered.

"Don't beggars have the skill of making black tea in bamboo tubes? If he passes on this skill to everyone, won't he be able to lead everyone to get rich together?" Liu Baoyi finally showed his fox tail.

"You have a good idea! Liu Baoyi, don't think that I don't know what you're thinking? If the beggars pass on this craft to the villagers, the villagers are guaranteed not to get a penny. If this craft is spread, you think the Zijiang City Tea Factory will come to our Meiziao to collect tea. You bastard, Liu Baoyi, will 100% sell this craft to the Zijiang Tea Factory. There are many people who have ideas for this craft. Back then, even the county and the town came up with ideas. But there are no doors!"
