Siheyuan: Married Lou Xiao'e at the beginning

Chapter 157 The Main Problem of the Farm

Being rich means being willful. Looking at the delicacies on the table, they were stunned for a moment. How long have they not eaten this? You know, it is difficult for them to have enough food on the farm now, so how dare they eat like this?

"Eat, do you want some wine?"

The three men didn't say anything. Sun Xiaoshan directly took out a bottle of Erguotou from his bag, opened it and poured a glass for each of them.

"There's only this one bottle for the four of us. Drink it to warm us up."

Good food goes well with good wine, and at this point they couldn't help themselves.

After a glass of wine, the three of them stopped waiting and started drinking and eating meat. After a bowl of noodles came, they finished it all in less than three minutes.

The dumplings were just served. After Sun Xiaoshan ate some, the rest were eaten by the three of them. They were reluctant to eat any more of the four pancakes and just put them in their arms to eat in the evening.

There was still some mutton and beef offal left, which they had wrapped in oil paper.

"Let's eat on the way."

"Okay, are you full? If not, how about another serving of dumplings per person?"

"I'm full, really full. Manager, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. I've been in our farm for 5 years and this is the first time I've had a full meal."

Zhang Kaiqian became a little sad as he spoke. He had no resistance to delicious food. Their farm was too poor and their expenses were not enough to cover their income.

"Everything will be fine in the future. There's nothing to do on the road, so let's talk about the situation on the farm. Now that I'm here, I can't leave without a transfer order from above."

He said this to reassure them so that they could talk to him about the real situation of the farm.

But along the way, Sun Xiaoshan's first feeling was desolation, the second feeling was emptiness, and the third feeling was coldness.

As they walked, the sun went down and the weather became a little colder.

"Director Zhang, how far are we?"

Zhang Kaiqian took a quick look, then looked at the surrounding situation, and roughly determined the time based on the angle of the setting sun. Mainly because he didn't have a watch, he couldn't give an exact time.

"Almost. It will take more than three hours. I can't really say for sure."

Sun Xiaoshan raised the watch on his hand and asked him to check the time before he answered again.

"It's 5:30 now, so we should be able to get to the farm before 9 o'clock."

When he looked at the watch on Sun Xiaoshan's wrist, there was a little envy in his eyes. Sun Xiaoshan took out a second-hand watch from his bag. It was not that he didn't have a new one, nor that he was unwilling to take out an electronic watch, but this second-hand watch was more convincing.

"Director Zhang, you often go out and don't have a watch with you. How can you know the exact time? Anyway, this is something I didn't use before. If you don't mind, you can accept it so that you can determine the time in the future."

Zhang Kaiqian wanted to refuse, but Sun Xiaoshan directly grabbed his hand and brought him up. There was no chance to refuse. After the two of them exchanged greetings for a while, Zhang Kaiqian looked at the watch and rubbed it again and again, as if he was afraid that it would suddenly disappear.

This is a watch. Even if it is second-hand, not everyone can own it. He is a director, a farm director, and his monthly salary is only more than 30 yuan. After paying for food, clothing and other expenses for his family, he really doesn't have much money left.

"Captain, I'll take it with me first. Tell me when you need it."

I have already taken it with me, is it possible to take it back? Sun Xiaoshan never planned to take it back.

If I wasn't afraid that he couldn't accept it, I would have taken out an electronic watch.

"Come, drink some more wine to drive away the cold, but don't drink too much. Drive the carriage well. I don't want to make myself too embarrassed."

The three of them also knew that if they could drink a sip of wine at this time, it would help them restore body heat.

But they only had their own homemade liquor, which was no match for the Erguotou that Sun Xiaoshan brought out.

"Director Zhang, you mean that the drinking water problem on our farm can be solved, but there is still some shortage of water for irrigation. Then why not dig two more wells?"

According to his knowledge, the drilling rig was not too difficult. As long as it was simply designed, digging a well was simple.

It was just a well, which didn't seem too difficult for him. After he circulated his spiritual power, he was able to find the approximate location of the water source.

"There is no drilling team inside, and our own drilling equipment is badly damaged and has not been repaired, so it cannot be used now."

"We pumped water in more than 30 places on the farm, but only four of them produced water, which can barely provide drinking water and irrigation of some land."

It’s good to have a drilling rig, no matter if it is damaged or not, he can just repair it if it breaks. What he fears most is not having this thing.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then when we go back, take me to see the drilling equipment and I should be able to fix it."

It doesn't matter whether it is repaired or not. If it can't be repaired, he will go somewhere else and get a new one. How difficult can it be for him to get the well repair equipment? As long as he is willing, it is not a problem for him to get the world's most advanced well drilling equipment.

"You see, I almost forgot that the manager is a technical person, so this shouldn't be a problem."

Along the way they were talking about what the farm needed most. He only now realized that the places to live on the farm were all dugouts, with only a few cave dwellings.

It is either used to store main equipment or as an office, and everyone else lives in the dugout.

This dugout is okay to live in in the summer, but it's damp and cold in the winter. It seems they still have a lot to do.

He already had a rough plan in his mind. As for what to do next, the first thing was of course water, and then a place to live. As for the food problem, was it really a problem?

He has many ways to help the people on the farm find food, and he even has many ways to ensure that the farm no longer lacks food, so he must first give everyone a place to settle down.

Only after ensuring a living standard can we carry out large-scale construction.

The sky slowly darkened, and they were still walking in the mountains. That was why Zhang Kaiqian had to bring two bodyguards with him whenever he went out, and they were armed with real guns and bullets.

In such a big mountain and such an environment, it is really unsafe to walk alone. It turns out that it is so difficult to walk out of the mountains. It took eight or nine hours to reach the station.

"Captain, we are almost there. We will be there after we climb over this mountain and then another mountain."

Lin Dong and the others also saw what Sun Xiaoshan was thinking, so they reminded him carefully.

Just as they were walking forward, a sound suddenly came from the front.

"We will be there after we cross two more mountains. We can't stop because there are wolves here at night."

The sound was chattering and very chaotic, and it sounded like there were many voices, not just one or two.

"Sunan, be careful and go over to take a look."

After Zhang Kaiqian stopped the carriage, he asked Su Nan to get off to check. There were unknown dangers in the depths of the mountains.
