official career

Not long after Xie Simin left, Zhou Liang knocked on the door and came in and said to Qin Feng: "County Magistrate, Comrade Lu Zian has arrived."

"Let him in." Qin Feng nodded.

Lu Zian walked into Qin Feng's office with a briefcase in one hand and a bamboo basket in the other.

"County Magistrate!" Lu Zian walked in with a smile and greeted Qin Feng respectfully.

"What are you carrying?" Qin Feng looked curiously at the bamboo basket in Lu Zian's hand.

"County Magistrate, the Qingshui River Bridge has restarted and is accelerating its progress. It is under construction in full swing. The people on the right bank of the Qingshui River know that this is all thanks to you, County Magistrate, so they asked me to give you a few gifts."

As Lu Zian spoke, he took out several things from the bamboo basket and placed them on Qin Feng's table one by one.

Qin Feng looked at these things with great curiosity and surprise.

Three things, an exquisite pen holder, an eight-horse ornament, and an exquisite ladies' satchel.

Qin Feng was curious about why Lu Zian gave him these three things, but Qin Feng was surprised that these three things, without exception, were all made of bamboo.

The pen holder is quite average. Although it is beautiful, it is not amazing enough.

What amazed Qin Feng was the exquisite bamboo women's shoulder bag. From a distance, you can't tell that it is made of bamboo. From the color, craftsmanship to style, it is very exquisite and very fashionable. For those who don't know I must have thought this was a product from a luxury brand.

What amazed Qin Feng the most was the eight-horse tabletop ornament. It was very large and equally exquisite. Each horse was so lifelike that people would never have imagined that it was actually a handicraft made of bamboo.

"Which master's work is this? Do you still have such a bamboo weaving master in Qingping Town?" Qin Feng asked after looking at it for a while.

"This is not the work of a master. It was made by a few old people on the right bank of Qingshui River. The picture was found online. This bag is a picture of an LV women's bag I found. This ornament is for them. "I saw the Eight Horses Picture," Lu Zian said.

"How many old people? They actually have this skill?"

"The county magistrate has been to the right bank of Qingshui River twice, and he should still have an impression of that place. As you can see, there is not much else in that place, except that there are a lot of bamboos. As long as there is soil, there will be bamboos. And you have cut down one this year. I will give you three or four next year. This has been the case since ancient times.”

"The so-called people in Qingping Town have been rich in bamboo since ancient times, and all daily necessities of the local people are made of bamboo. Because of this, Qingping Town has been famous for its bamboo since ancient times. In the hometown of bamboo, Qingping Town used to make a living by weaving and selling bamboo products, such as stools, tables, baskets, etc., and the old people in Qingping Town, especially on the right bank of the Qingshui River, are all masters of bamboo weaving. This is passed down from their bones. It’s said to be thousands of years old.”

"More than ten or twenty years ago, people on the right bank of the Qingshui River were still making a living from bamboo weaving. However, due to modernization, machine-produced goods became popular, and these bamboo products gradually declined and lost their market, so everyone just They all gave up bamboo weaving," Lu Zian introduced slowly.

Qin Feng leaned on the chair and lit a cigarette. After taking two puffs, he asked Lu Zian: "You gave me these things today and introduced these things to me. What do you want to say to me?"

Qin Feng saw through Lu Zian's thoughts. He felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "County Magistrate, this agricultural industry conference in the county was very successful. I heard that several towns have signed planting agreements with some companies. In the future, We will further expand agricultural industrialization.”

"Are you jealous? You can't blame me for this. The terrain and environment of your Qingping Town are not suitable for the cultivation of camellia oil. You were also present at the last survey, and your Qingping Town is not suitable for the cultivation of large-scale cash crops." Qin Feng road.

"Yes, the county plans to develop the tourism industry. Secretary Duan and I have approached County Magistrate Deng many times about this matter. As a result, many of the places we recommended were rejected by experts and Magistrate Deng, saying that our Qingping Town has tourism resources. It’s not rich and not suitable as a candidate for tourism development,” Lu Zian said dejectedly.

"What? Did you come to me today to complain about poverty? You can't blame me for this. Your Qingping Town is inherently deficient in agriculture and tourism. Even if the county wants to help, it can't do anything." Qin Feng said.

"Yes, our place in Qingping Town is indeed barren, but we always have to find ways to try our best to find a way for the people to get rich. For this matter, I have researched for a long time, and finally decided that if we rely on mountains and rivers, we still We can only find a way out on the bamboo." Lu Zian nodded.

"These are the solutions you want to find for Qingping Town?" Qin Feng finally realized Lu Zian's purpose.

"Actually, bamboo is of great value, starting with bamboo shoots. Bamboo shoots are divided into spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots. Both are edible, especially winter bamboo shoots. They are very good fried, eaten or stewed, and have high nutritional value. But the only disadvantage is that they cannot be stored for too long. , and selling them is troublesome. Spring bamboo shoots can also be dried and made into dried bamboo shoots, and now there are many snacks made from bamboo shoots..." Lu Zian introduced eloquently.
