It seems that the construction of this Xueling Canal is about to be completed, and the construction team has already arrived not far outside Changle County.
When Luo Yong was not busy in the past two days, he often went over to take a look.
He brought a lot of various kinds of food.
He also brought a lady from Chang'an City over to teach her cooking skills and cooked a lot of delicious food for the working folk.
The construction site was bustling with activity every day, as if it was a festival every day.
This year, there are a lot of people growing pumpkins in Changle County.
The price of pumpkins is very low.
People from Luo Yong's county government go to the streets to buy pumpkins by the truckload.
There is a popular way to eat pumpkin cakes in Chang'an City in the past two years.
Every year when pumpkins and young corns are ripe, they are steamed, mashed together, and then fried into golden, soft and waxy pumpkins.
The cake tastes very sweet and is loved by men, women, old and young.
This kind of pumpkin cake was first spread from my sister's restaurant.
Two years ago, pumpkins were expensive, and a small and thin pumpkin cake sold for a penny.
In the past two years, there are more pumpkins on the market, and the price has also come down. , the pumpkin cakes costing only a penny each are getting bigger and bigger.
On this construction site outside Changle County, this kind of pumpkin pancake has been being made for the past two days.
From the nearby villages, many children came here to find their own aye and eat some food.
On this day, Luo Yong, Du Gou and others were having dinner together at the construction site.
Children are running around on the construction site, so you need to be careful when working.
Not all of them are here to eat, there are also those who bring things over.
I heard that pumpkin corn cakes are being made at the construction site these two days.
There are farmers nearby carrying corn cobs, and there are also those who bring pumpkins.
The richer people, They are often delivered in truckloads.
The wealthy merchants in the county heard that they were also raising funds in the past two days, and said that they would hold a banquet by the canal outside the city on the day the canal was opened, and also give a farewell party to Magistrate Luo.
The water channel that has been awaited for so long is about to be opened.
Everyone in the city and outside the city is very happy.
At this moment, Wu You, who was in charge of the groceries in the North and South, had someone put up a notice saying that as long as anyone who had worked on this canal and whose name was recorded in the work book would be able to go to the North and South on the day when the canal was opened.
Come in for groceries and get a free cake.
As soon as this notice was posted, the city of Changle County immediately exploded, and excited people quickly spread the news to surrounding areas.
Some people also say that Wu Youmo is crazy.
The construction scale of Xueling Canal is so large and the construction time is quite long.
There are countless people who have worked on this canal.
Let alone one cake per person, even if it is One piece per person, that’s not a small amount.
Judging from the attitude of the groceries from the north and south, they don't seem to be fake at all.
In the past two days, they bought a lot of rice, flour and grain from the county and surrounding areas.
There were often dozens of oxcarts transporting goods, and sometimes the fleet They can line up from their shop all the way to the outside of the city.
Two days later, Wu You asked people to build a tall straw shed in the small square in front of the North and South Grocery Store, and asked people to pile the prepared cakes in the straw shed.
I saw that mountain-like pile of cakes, which grew as fast as the wind.
It looked the same every day, and every day it was taller and bigger than the previous day.
They also built stairs and corridors around this mountain of cakes, and every day they looked the same.
There are employees of North and South groceries carrying goods up and down.
The adults and children at the foot of the cake mountain look up at everything in front of them, as if they are dreaming.
"That bag of cakes must weigh at least one or two kilograms."
"It must be more than a pound."
"That oil paper bag is one and a half pounds, no more, no less."
"How do you know?"

"My niece said that she works in this shop and has been packing cakes every day for the past two days."
"It's the one who just gave birth to a baby earlier."
"Exactly." "" "I heard that there are several kinds of cakes there.
They are neatly stacked and carefully wrapped in oil paper.
The inside and outside must be wrapped twice, and the outside is tied with the colorful white folding thread.
It is done very carefully
.
"
"" Those gentlemen and gentlemen longed for good mountains, water and beautiful scenery, but for the people of Changle, there was probably no better scenery in the world than this cake mountain.
Nowadays, this small square is crowded with people every day.
Many people are attracted by this mountain of pastries and are reluctant to leave.
Some people come all the way in wooden carriages to join in the fun, and some people sit on the north and south grocery stores to buy snacks.
In the store, while eating various snacks, watching the lively scene downstairs, and chatting with relatives and friends around you, it is also a rare good time.
The whole Changle County has been very lively recently.
There are scholars, officials, monks, and Taoists who come here specifically to look at the water canals, there are traders who come here to do business, and there are also many idlers who come here for the excitement and food.
In order to develop Changle County's economy, Luo Yong has used many means to gain popularity in the past years, but it has never been as lively as this time.
Many children still don’t know the significance of this canal to Changle County, and they don’t know why the city suddenly became so lively these two days.
They just feel that these days are like celebrating New Year’s Eve, and Weng Boye is particularly kind.
Make new clothes with them and buy good food with them.
Groups of children were running around in the city, and then they ran in groups to the small square in front of the North and South Grocery Store.
They looked at the tall and big cake mountain and felt so beautiful in their hearts. .
This pastry mountain costs a lot of money.
Wu You, the store manager, had just taken office not long ago and could not make the decision himself.
He had to get Luo Yong's approval.
Although this activity costs money, it also has many benefits.
In addition to providing benefits to the people, it can also promote the lively atmosphere of the day when the canal is opened, increase the sense of ceremony, and let the locals have a good impression of this Xueling Canal and Duiluo Yong.
An even more profound impression is that even many years later, some people will still remember the grand and prosperous canal opening ceremony.
It has been passed down by word of mouth and has become a favorite in the local area.
In addition, there is a certain publicity purpose in this.
Although the North and South Grocery Store in Changle County mainly deals with the business of Hu merchants, the local market cannot be underestimated.
After this period of observation, Wu You found that most people in Changle County, even rural farmers, had some savings.
However, since the opening of this North-South grocery store, the villagers who came to their shop to buy cakes were very rare.
Perhaps due to the long-term frugal living habits, the concept of consumption is still unfamiliar to many rural people.
If you want them to establish a certain consumption habit, some guidance must be provided in the early stage, such as discount promotions, etc.
Or give it away for free.
After they have eaten the pastries from North and South Grocery a few times and find them so delicious that they cannot give them up, some people will slowly start to open their money bags, and then this kind of consumption gradually becomes a habit, buying pastries from North and South Grocery.
For local people, it will become a very common thing.
What Wu You and the others have to do now is to gradually cultivate a kind of consumption that is very high-end and distant in the eyes of the villagers into their daily consumption.
In fact, at present, at least 30% of the households in the villages and towns under Changle County have this kind of consumption ability.
With the continuous development of white folding flower cultivation and various industries, there will be more households in the future.
Be rich.
For those families who are currently relatively poor and cannot afford cakes, this free gift can at least plant a little thought in their hearts.
This thought is beautiful and can create value, whether it is for these poor people or for groceries from the north and south.
In a blink of an eye, the day of opening the canal came, and everything seemed like a dream.
Many people in the city got up before dawn.

I heard that someone went up the mountain yesterday and blocked several water outlets on the mountain, allowing the water to flow down the Xueling Canal.
In several villages that the Xueling Canal passes through, there are low dams several feet high.
These dams can intercept the flowing water and form a medium-sized pool in that section of the canal, making it convenient for local people to collect water.
Those people who went up the mountain yesterday to deal with the water outlet of the diversion, based on the current size of the water flow, after a night of accumulation, after filling several upstream pools one after another, it is expected that it should be able to flow outside Changle County today.
On this day, many people came to the canal early to wait, and the canal did not disappoint everyone's expectations.
First, some turbid water carrying mud and grass clippings soaked into the river bed little by little along the channel.
It also soaked into the hearts and eyes of many people on the shore.
Then gradually, the water became clearer and clearer, flowing slowly along the channel.
Under the autumn sunshine, the clear water was shining like light.
Some people couldn't help but walk to the edge of the water channel below and stretched out their hands to touch the clear water.
As soon as they put their hands down, they felt a refreshing coolness in their hearts.
When they drank a handful, it was very sweet.
This is the snow water flowing down from the big snow mountain.
After being so moved, there was a whole day of carnival.
Some people held a banquet by the canal, and some went to the city to get cakes.
With such a large number of people, they originally thought they would have to wait in line for a long time, but as a result, many people were dispatched for the north and south groceries, and in less than half a day, all the goods were collected.
The cakes have been distributed according to the list.
Many people were holding cakes and watching the excitement in the city.
In the past two days, many vendors came to Changle County.
Some people also invited the juggling troupe, singing and dancing singers and singers, various goods and goods, and various performances to watch.
It's dazzling.
The county government also posted an official document saying that in order to celebrate the completion of the Xueling Canal, the curfew was lifted for three consecutive days, allowing everyone to enjoy themselves and enjoy themselves, and also urged everyone to pay attention to their own and financial safety.
Not only was the curfew lifted, but many workshops in the city were also on holiday.
After that, they stopped working for the next three days and just played and wandered around all day.
For most Changle people, they have never experienced such a grand festival and such a lively scene in their lives.
After the celebration, it was time for Luo Yong and the others to leave.
At this time, the aftertaste of happiness in everyone's hearts had not faded away, and they did not appear particularly sad in the face of this separation.
The people reluctantly took Magistrate Luo to the wooden rail station.
Some people came up to say farewell, but those who couldn't speak stretched their necks and watched from a distance.
Watching a group of them get on the carriage, there were several cars in front of them, and they left before the sky was bright.
They were rushing to Chang'an City to take up their posts.
They have been delayed a lot for this Xueling Canal these days.
The horse's hooves clattered in the middle of the wooden track, and the car slid out along the wooden track.
Soon it went far away and disappeared into the gray sky and earth, without a trace.
It was not until this moment that someone wiped away tears without realizing it, which made others feel sad.
Wiping their tears, everyone dispersed one after another.
Later, those who were supposed to work continued to work, and those who were supposed to do business continued.
Also doing business.
On a hill outside Changle County, I heard that Magistrate Luo and his team were going to cross this wooden track early this morning.
Some villagers had been waiting here early.
After waiting for a long time, I first heard the sound of horse hooves, and then saw several carriages coming along the track from a distance between the Gobi desert and the fields.
The carriages were not far away from each other, and they Driving on the wooden track under this hill, one car after another gd1806102:
