Dashan Makes a Living 1984 - Chapter 205

   “…If it is not affected, probably each family can make four or five tofu per day.” Mi Liang said.

  The tofu in Qingcheng is usually dosed with a seat. This is a special tool, and it just happens to be a seat.

  It’s about five catties a piece.

   In fact, tofu is made very quickly in later generations, but it is very slow in this era.

  The main reason is that there is a shortage of tools and labor, and it is all done by people.

  From buying and soaking beans, to grinding and peeling, finally boiling, covering, pointing water, filtering, molding, etc., all need to be done by people.

   It’s okay to build one, but if you build several in a row, you won’t be able to hold on. After all, people’s energy is limited, and every link of this job is hard work.

   Because of this, people who generally make tofu are as powerful and majestic as those who butcher pigs.

  The reason is that if the body is weak, it is impossible to make tofu at all, and people who make tofu often eat some tofu, bean dregs, and drink some things such as tofu brain when making tofu, and gradually the body will naturally become stronger.

  Wang Tianxiao roughly estimated that according to Miliang, a family can make three or four tofu every day. If all the supporting things are satisfied, excluding the cost, they can earn about ten yuan a day.

   Looks good.

   But only good.

  Each family earns 10 yuan a day, which is more than 300 yuan a month. This is one family.

   It’s not a person.

  Looking at it this way, it would be better to work in his Yangziling.

After thinking for a while, he said to Mi Liang: “Brother Mi, look, since you want to lead the people to get rich, you must get better every day. If you can only eat enough, you can’t be considered rich. Yes or no?”

   “Of course it is.”

   “Then even if everyone’s tofu can be sold, the money everyone earns is limited, and if it is distributed equally to everyone, it will be even less. Then why do you make money and get rich?”

“But…”

  When Mi Liang was said by Wang Tianxiao, he subconsciously wanted to refute, but he turned his head quickly, and immediately understood that Wang Tianxiao was right.

  The lower limit of this matter can be guaranteed, but the upper limit is very low.

   Can make money, but not big money.

  He was thinking, thinking, the steamed bun in his hand was almost cold in the air, but he still didn’t stuff it into his mouth.

   After thinking about it, he suddenly thought that since Wang Tianxiao said this, it must be him who has a suggestion, so he should just listen to what he has to say.

  Zi said, three of us must have my teacher.

  The young man in front of him looks like a cultured person in his speech and demeanor, and it is not ashamed to ask others for advice.

  As long as the common people live a good life, it is nothing shameful for him to do something to humbly ask for advice.

“Brother Xiao Wang, I understand what you mean, but I can’t think of any other way for the time being. You Mi Ge is a rural person and has never seen the world. I can think that this is the case for the time being. I listen to you and should have other ideas. Well, why don’t you tell me, how about I listen?”

   “I, actually, I don’t have a good idea, and I just think about it, Brother Mi, are you sure you want to listen?”

   “Listen, but you can speak.”

   “Well, then I’ll tell you the truth.”

Wang Tianxiao drank the mutton soup in the bowl in one gulp, took out a handkerchief to touch his mouth, and then continued: “Brother Mi, didn’t we say that tofu has its limitations as a food, so we Since we want to make it an industry, we must break its limitations, right?”

   “The truth is such a truth, but how to do it specifically?”

  Wang Tianxiao smiled, “Look, since tofu is not easy to store because it contains water, why don’t we make some water-free tofu?”

   “It doesn’t contain water, so how do you do it? Tofu is made from water. Even if you make it dry, it still contains a lot of water?”

“Think of a way. Think about it. If we can make tofu like dried vegetables, it is usually dried. If we want to eat it, we just need to soak it in water and it will immediately become tofu. In this way, it can be stored or eaten. Can it be stored?”

   “That’s it… sounds good, but is it really feasible?”

“I think it is feasible. To tell you the truth, I have actually seen this kind of product in the south, but people here haven’t eaten it yet. It seems that people call this kind of thing dried tofu. It tastes better than tofu, though It’s fresh and tender, but it has a fragrance that tofu doesn’t have.”

   “Is that so…”

  Mi Liang was taken aback by what was said, only knowing to repeat meaningless words.

“It is also convenient to transport and increase the possibility of eating when made into dried tofu. Think about it, fresh and tender tofu will break when pressed, and it is easy to mold, so it is not convenient to transport to other places, but dried tofu is very easy. It is not afraid of squeezing at all, and because the moisture is almost completely removed, it will not be damp and moldy.

  More importantly, we all know that the way to eat tofu is very monotonous, but there are many ways to eat dried tofu. “

  Wang Tianxiao’s eyes widened when he saw Mi Liang, and he smiled and drew a circle in the air, “Look, isn’t it a perfect method?”

Mi Liang nodded and said in great surprise: “Brother Wang, what you said is very reasonable. I just trapped myself in a small circle, a dead end, and didn’t get out. I thought, there is only one road ahead. I can only think of ways to see how to get to the end, but I don’t know that all roads lead to Rome, I am really a frog watching the sky from a well.”

“Haha, Brother Mi, don’t underestimate yourself. I’m just making a suggestion. How to make tofu into dried tofu needs to be researched and explored in person. This is the most important thing. It’s easy to talk about it, but it’s hard to put it into practice. ah.”

“You can’t say that,” Mi Liang said with a smile, “According to what you said, there was no need for marshals and generals to command wars in ancient times, and there was no need for military advisers like Zhuge Liang to give advice. Everyone rushed to fight. Can’t you?

  It seems easy to use the brain, but it is actually more difficult. Why, because the use of the brain is to imagine things that have not appeared, and the hands are just to visualize the things that have been planned. “

  Wang Tianxiao heard Mi Liang talk about concretization, and he suddenly felt that his cultural level was too low, and he couldn’t keep up with Mi Liang’s ideas.

  Before, I just thought that people were educated, but I didn’t expect to be so educated.

  If he didn’t take advantage of the benefits of rebirth, if he wanted to compete with this kind of person in this era, it would be too far behind.

   It can be seen that there are capable people in every era.

   Don’t think that wisdom can overwhelm everything if you came decades ago

  True wisdom must be developed on the basis of knowledge or experience.

   “Brother Wang, thank you very much. The more I think about it, the more I feel that you have provided us with a very good idea. It stands to reason that this kind of idea is not complicated, but why didn’t we think of it before?”

  Wang Tianxiao smiled.

  Mi Liang was right, this matter was originally very simple.

  He just saw a lot in his previous life, so he knows that there are many kinds of soy products, which are far from being as simple as tofu.

  They don’t know about rice grains because they are still stuck in the basic mode of agricultural products.

   There is no shift to industrial thinking.

  Farmers are processors of nature. What they do all their lives is to produce the most primitive things, while industrialization is to reprocess raw resources through certain technical means to generate new things.

   Don’t look at the tofu skin and dried tofu that look simple, but they are already considered secondary processing.

“I just want to say that I hope to help Brother Mi a little bit. I admire your willingness to seek happiness for the villagers. There are village chiefs everywhere, but there are very few who are really willing to do things for the people. You are especially precious.”

  Wang Tianxiao recalled that when Mi Liang had a meeting last time, he had a strong smell of tofu on his body. He heard that when he was making tofu improvement crafts with everyone, he received a temporary meeting notice and didn’t have time to change his clothes.

   is really a person who knows how to do.

   “It must be useful, it must be useful. I will think of a way when I go back today, and study how to implement it. If there is something I don’t understand, I will ask Brother Wang to guide me.”

   “Haha, let’s study together.”

  Wang Tianxiao said, stood up and went to pay the bill, but was grabbed by Mi Liang, who refused to let him go, rushing to stuff the money into the boss’s arms.

“It’s agreed that I’ll treat you, what are you paying for? You gave me such a good idea, and you won’t let me invite you for a meal, so how can I feel at ease, don’t refuse, if you do, I will going to be angry.”

   “Okay then, let Brother Mi spend the money.”

  Wang Tianxiao didn’t insist anymore, the two walked out of the mutton shop, Wang Tianxiao looked at the sky, and then took out his watch, “It’s getting late, the power supply station should have gone to work, you can go and ask.”

   “Okay, I’ll go right away.”

Mi Liang got on the bicycle and said to Wang Tianxiao: “Brother Wang, I know you are in Wang’s Village, and you also know that I am in Mi’s Village. Anyway, come and play when you have time. You and I are very destined. We hit it off right away. If you come, I will I will give you the best tofu nao.”

   “Okay, I will definitely disturb you.”

   “Let’s go.”

  Mi Liang rode away.

  Wang Tianxiao watched his figure disappear, and his smile slowly faded away.

He was thinking, originally he wanted to let the treacherous stationmaster Li eat a pot, now that it involves rice and grain, he is willing to relax some requirements, as long as his transformer site is settled, he will not care anymore .

   It cannot be difficult for a person who is willing to do things.

  Besides, if Mi Liang finds out that it’s on his side after tossing for a long time, the two of them won’t be able to talk freely like just now.

  He came to this world, and there are not many people who can really talk to him, except Zhang Wenyuan who can talk to him almost without reservation. Today, he will be the second to meet Mi Liang.

  He has never looked down on uneducated people, and he takes care of them emotionally.

  But objectively speaking, he also needs that kind of equal communication, he can absorb nutrients from the wisdom of the other party, and the other party can accept his remarks and opinions.

  This is equal communication.

   If either side is severely disadvantaged, nothing is gained.

.

   It has been more than a week since I encountered rice grains on the street.

  The stationmaster Li didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem at first, and just wanted to negotiate with Wenyuan Prefab Factory, but he failed every time.

   After a long time, no matter how stupid people are, they finally understand what’s going on.

  He recalled that Wang Tianxiao seemed to have attended the last coordination meeting.

   From this point of view, Wang Tianxiao may have an unexplainable relationship with that prefabrication factory. His threat at the time was not a big talk, but a real reliance.

  Unfortunately, it was too serious to speak directly at that time.

On this day, he participated in the city’s power supply system meeting, and the city announced the progress of each township’s progress in connecting electricity to households. Qingquan Town, which was progressing quite smoothly, has now fallen to the bottom, and the city leaders are very dissatisfied. Directly question Li stationmaster what is going on.

  He wanted to argue that the prefabrication plant did not supply utility poles, but after thinking about it, he held back.

  Why do you say this.

  The prefabrication factory is not managed by the city’s power supply department. Besides, they are happy to supply to other towns and towns. If there is a problem with me, I can’t blame others because I didn’t handle it well.

  Finally, the leader stayed him and gave a special lecture, indicating that he must find a way to change the backward working situation and catch up. If the progress is still so slow next month, then he, the station master, will be considered as the head.

  After a lesson, the stationmaster Li’s back was soaked.

  He finally realized the seriousness of the problem.

  After returning, he hurried to Wangjia Village to inquire about Wang Tianxiao’s home, and learned that Wang Tianxiao lived in the mountains, and bumped all the way to the station.

  It happened that Wang Tianxiao went out to check the growth of the medicinal materials. He waited until the afternoon, when he was so hungry that he saw Wang Tianxiao come back.

  Wang Tianxiao didn’t act impolitely when he saw Station Master Li. He made tea and handed cigarettes to him, completely unlike the domineering attitude he had at the power station last time.

   This made stationmaster Li even more embarrassed.

   “Stationmaster Li, I kept you waiting for a long time. I don’t know that you will take time out of your busy schedule to come to our remote mountain?” Wang Tianxiao smiled and motioned to Stationmaster Li to drink tea, looking very enthusiastic and polite.

   “It didn’t take long, and I only arrived at noon. Brother Xiao Wang has a lot of things to do, so he must be busy.”

   “It’s okay,” Wang Tianxiao nodded, “I don’t know what orders Stationmaster Li has today?”

“I can’t talk about orders… No, how dare I have any orders,” the stationmaster Li smiled flatteringly: “Didn’t Brother Wang say that he wanted to build a transformer switching station here last time? I want to check with Brother Wang to find out where it is best to place it.”

   “Ah, isn’t this inconvenient?” Wang Tianxiao asked in “surprise”.

   “No, no, it’s definitely convenient. It’s not convenient for others. Brother Wang, you are from the forestry farm. This is a public matter. Of course it’s convenient.”

   “I remember that the stationmaster Li said that all the positions are fixed, how can it be added or changed at any time, is it difficult to do?”

   “There is no difficulty, it is not difficult at all, isn’t it just to build a transformer site, after I researched it later, it is completely feasible. As long as Brother Wang chooses a good place, we will definitely settle it, and we will definitely not let our site be blacked out.”

   “Is it really convenient?”

   “Really, absolutely true.”

   “Isn’t it because of my face?”

   “Totally in line with the rules.”

   “Okay then,” Wang Tianxiao nodded, took out a map of Qingquan Town, and pointed to the intersection between the forest farm and Mijia Village, “If I want to put the transformer site at this location, I don’t know if it’s convenient.”

  Stationmaster Li just glanced at the map from the corner of his eyes, and immediately understood the location.

   “Convenient, this place is very good. When the electricity from Mijia Village passes through, it will be connected to the station, which is regarded as a secondary power transformation. We will arrange for the problem of the line.”

   “That’s fine.”

  Wang Tianxiao nodded, looked at Station Master Li’s fat head, and asked suddenly: “Then, should we sign a special agreement this time?”

  Stationmaster Li smiled awkwardly, “No, no, don’t worry about me.”

   “Don’t worry…well?” Wang Tianxiao smiled.

   “Absolutely rest assured.”

  The two looked at each other, and they both smiled.

   After a long time, Wang Tianxiao nodded: “That’s it, I will trust you again.”

“Thank you.”

  Stationmaster Li just completely relaxed his heart, and he also relaxed a lot.

   Now he has realized that the young man in front of him is not an ordinary person.

  As a forest ranger, he can influence many things, and even decide the sales of such a large-scale prefabrication factory. What a power this is.

  Who knows what other intricate relationships are behind it.

“Stationmaster Li, I won’t say anything superfluous. I hope to have a happy cooperation this time. I will still pay the electricity bill that should be paid. I won’t lose a penny. But I have a request. The main line of the circuit here should not be too thin. , I may need to use high-power and high-power electrical equipment in the future.”

   “Approximately how much?”

   “About twenty…oh, about fifty kilowatts.”

   “So much power?!”

  When professional issues were mentioned, Stationmaster Li became a little more confident again. He was originally from a professional background.

   “Fifty kilowatts, this is already the scale of industrial electricity consumption, but here you…”

   “Yes, it’s better if you know about industrial power. I may need industrial power in the future. If the main line is too weak, it may affect my use. Please trouble the station master Li about this matter.”

  Wang Tianxiao nodded, and added: “Of course, I will pay for industrial electricity according to the electricity fee for industrial electricity. You don’t need to worry too much about this. I am an ordinary user, not that kind of rascal.”

Stationmaster Li lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and bit his teeth and said: “Okay, I will reserve power at that time, because the industrial power consumption is greater, so the electricity bill is more expensive, you have to understand this at that time. “

   “Understand, fully understand, that’s why I said, don’t worry about the electricity bill, if it doesn’t exist, I will definitely pay it on time, if not on time, you will come and cut off my electricity, what do you think?”

   “Haha,” Stationmaster Li laughed dryly, “You said it was serious, but it’s not, it’s not.”

“Okay, that’s it for today. Let’s go to our own things. It’s getting late, so I won’t let you eat here. There are many wolves in the mountains. You should go down the mountain early before it’s completely dark.” .”

  Hearing the jackal, Stationmaster Li’s expression froze for a moment.

  He left the station almost like running away.

  Wang Tianxiao didn’t send him off, watching Station Manager Li leave in a panic, he couldn’t help but sneer.

  He will have to deal with this person a lot in the future.

  Since he is not a person of integrity, he cannot use the most authentic communication mode. He must let Stationmaster Li understand that he is not a very simple person.

  So, don’t make any fools in front of him.

   If things are willing to do well, everyone is good.

  If you want to play some tricks because of this, it’s best to give up the idea as soon as possible.

   Don’t make everyone ugly when the time comes.

  Li Yali came in with a thermos bottle and found that the person had already left, so she asked curiously what was going on.

  Wang Tianxiao smiled and told her the whole story.

  Li Yali frowned when she heard this, and said helplessly: “Although this kind of person is more difficult to deal with, but you should try to do as little as possible. I always feel that this is not very moral, what do you think?”

Wang Tianxiao smiled and pulled his wife over to sit on his lap, teasing her gentle little face, and said softly: “It’s actually okay, think about it, didn’t it say in Journey to the West that one can eat scriptures and chant Buddha, and one must also have the ability to cast down demons?” Means. Of course we have to be nice to good people, and naturally we can’t be polite to these people who are not quite right. Conventional methods can’t solve this kind of people at all.”

He looked into his wife’s eyes, eyes full of pampering, “Look, why is it that good people in this world always have a hard time living, while evils last for thousands of years? Isn’t it because good people do things, always thinking that not only the law must comply with the requirements, And we have to stand on the basis of morality, but those bad people, or those who don’t have much sense of morality, do they really care about this?”

   Sigh, “No, their only purpose is to win, or to infringe on the legal rights of others. As for hurting many people in the process, it is not something they care about.

  So, the better the person, the easier it is to be eliminated because the method is too single, and those who survive are often those who have problems. “

   “Although we say this, we can’t be a person with problems because of this, right?” Li Yali gently rubbed her husband’s chest.

   “Of course not. We use some special means to deal with those people, and there is a bottom line. Just like this time, I just cleverly adjusted the sales direction of the prefab factory. This is also a normal thing and does not violate ethics and laws.

   It is only because there is a special need here, so it seems very passive. This is to use a kind way to solve the unkind behavior. In the end, we are satisfied, he also got what he wanted, no one suffers, and the matter is half completed. Isn’t it everyone’s satisfaction? “

Speaking of this, Wang Tianxiao couldn’t help but sigh: “On the contrary, if it wasn’t like this, if we were just ordinary people, think about it, Lili, can we handle this kind of thing, I’m afraid we can’t, maybe I’ll ask grandpa to sue grandma , it may not be successful for a year and a half, or even never at all. The stationmaster Li said last time that it is impossible to set up the site at the foot of our mountain. It is obviously set here, which is more convenient for our site. Use electricity.”

  Li Yali saw the helplessness in her husband’s eyes, so she didn’t say anything.

   Leaning gently in the man’s arms.

  The husband explained clearly enough, she is not that kind of silly and sweet, she still understands what should be understood.

   “Tianxiao…”

  She softly called her husband’s name.

   “Huh?” Wang Tianxiao was also a little surprised, his wife usually wouldn’t call him by his name.

“Promise me, no matter what you do, don’t do bad things. We can have less, but don’t have a little bit of malice. I heard people say that once people’s bad thoughts come out, they will quickly take root and germinate, and never again. It’s hard to be a good person.”

   “Are you worried that your husband will become a bad person?”

   “I know you won’t, but I’m just worried. Isn’t it like this in Qin opera? Many men become rich, and they don’t recognize their relatives, and they do some very excessive things. I don’t want you to be like that in the future?”

   “You don’t have confidence in me?”

“I… I don’t know, I’m just worried, I’d rather you have nothing, we just live the simplest life, and it’s better than one day, you are no longer by my side, even if I guard the golden mountains and silver mountains, has no meaning?”

   Li Yali’s voice was a little low.

Wang Tianxiao noticed that his wife’s mood had changed, and knew that he could not continue joking, so he said softly, “Don’t worry, Lili, no matter what happens in the future, I will not do evil things, even if I die. I will It will always be the same as you just met, it won’t change, I swear.”

Li Yali looked up at her husband, gently touched her husband’s eyes to his chin with her gentle but calloused hands, and nodded with a smile, “Well, I actually believe you, I’m just a little worried, as for why, I can’t say .”

   “Could it be… because I’m so happy recently?”

“ah?”

  Li Yali was slightly taken aback, and after a long time, she smiled.

   “It seems…it really is.”
