Chapter 119 Pulling Sawdust
The greenhouse was built, but it was not possible to plant mushrooms immediately. Li Shaoan first used quicklime to thoroughly disinfect the inside and outside of the greenhouse. The next thing to do was prepare the bacteria bag.
The importance of mushroom bags to mushrooms is self-evident. Without mushroom bags, there is no way to talk about mushrooms. The best material for filling mushroom bags is sawdust. The nutrients are included in a certain proportion, and a little lime is added. This is a good mushroom bag.
But where should I get the sawdust? There is a sawmill in the village, but not long ago, Li Shaoan had a conflict with Huang Feilong of the sawmill due to the little carpenter.
Li Shaoan is a very arrogant person. No matter whether the conflict can be resolved in the future, he will never ask Huang Feilong again. In short, it will not work to find a sawmill in the village to pull wood chips.
Everyone in the family was giving advice to Li Shaoan. Later, Li Shaomin reminded Li Shaoan why he had to stay in the village sawmill? Isn’t there a sawmill in the town? Moreover, the scale of the sawmill in the town is much larger than that in the village. People don’t bother to care about you if they pull some sawmills.
The most important thing is that Li Shaoan now has a tricycle, which is convenient to enter and exit Tieshan Bay. There is no problem with pulling more than a thousand pounds in one trip.
"Third brother, why didn't I think it was that you had a way." Li Shaoan couldn't help but praise Li Shaomin.
Li Shaomin smiled embarrassedly and said, "I have a big idea. I just gambled money with the people from the sawmill in the town. I knew there was such a sawmill in the town."
When Li Shaoan learned that tug of sawdust from the sawmill in the town was a way, he drove a tricycle out of Tieshan Bay with anticipation.
After about half an hour's drive, I arrived at Yangqiao Town and asked the people in the town about the address of the sawmill. I drove over without stopping.
As soon as he arrived outside the sawmill, Li Shaoan was shocked by this scale. Compared to this, it was indeed much larger than the small sawmill in the village.
It is said to be a factory, but it is actually an open-air place, covering an area of nearly one hectare, and is full of piles of unprocessed trees. Among these trees, the most common one is Metasequoia. This kind of tree is commonly planted locally, with white circles and red circles, which is a good raw material for wood.
In the middle of the trees piled all over the ground, there was a small wooden shed with a sawmill inside. Two workers worked together to carry a metasequoia tree, and slowly passed by the flywheel of the sawmill, and a log was cut open.
The worker continued to repeat the operation just now, and the cut tree trunk was processed into wood chips, strips, and wooden boards.
As the flywheel of the saw machine flew, under the flywheel, fine wood chips fell like snowflakes, and a thick layer had been piled up.
The sawmill workers will regularly clean the sawdust and stack them in designated locations.
When the two workers stopped to rest, Li Shaoan came over with a smile.
"Master, I'm busy. Can I pull some sawdust here? I don't give it to you for money."
A slightly fat worker between the two pointed to the place where wood chips were piled up in the distance and said, "Just go and pull it, what else does this thing cost?"
There are often people who come to tug the sawdust. The workers don’t care about this at all. They can’t pull much by one person. Instead of not letting others offend others, it’s better to do a favor.
"Then I'll thank you."
Li Shaoan happily came to the pile of sawdust. Sure enough, the sawmills in this town are different. They are not only much larger than those in the village, but even the sawmills are much more generous.
After taking out the prepared woven bags, Li Shaoan began to put the sawdust into the bag, and then he put several bags, which attracted the attention of the two workers just now.
"Hey, wait, what are you doing?" The slightly fat worker came over to stop Li Shaoan.
"Master, didn't you just say that you asked me to pull it casually?" Li Shaoan said in confusion.
The worker was anxious and said, "I just pulled it casually, that's just a little bit. Are you trying to emptiate all the sawdust here?"
Li Shaoan was embarrassed and said, "I think so... If you think it's not possible, didn't I say it? It's useless for me to give money."
"No, no, I can't let you take it away even if you give it money." The worker said.
"Why is this? Could it be that I will not allow it to be paid for it?" Li Shaoan was a little unhappy.
The worker explained: "Young man, it's not that I refuse to sell you, but that the sawmill's wood chips had been booked by the middle school in the town. The school cafeteria needs to cook, so I come to us to take away the sawed wood chips. I don't have to say this, you have to discuss with Principal Li of the school."
Principal Li, whose full name is Li Changgen, is the vice principal of No. 4 Middle School. He is in charge of campus construction, life and logistics, so he is naturally the canteen.
Before Li Shaoan went to school at No. 4 Middle School, Li Changgen was the vice principal in charge of this area. He is still in charge of this area now. He has worked as the vice principal for at least ten years.
When he was the vice principal, Li Changgen had just reached his forties and is now an old man over fifty years old.
Li Shaoan was worried about where to find Li Changgen, but someone happened to come to the sawmill again. When he looked back, he saw that the man had a gray-white head, a pair of black-circle glasses, and an old-fashioned Zhongshan outfit. He was tall and thin, as if he had no full meal.
If you look closely at the person who came, who can it be if it is not Li Changgen?
Li Shaoan was overjoyed. He was really happy. He was just thinking about going to Li Changgen to discuss it, but Li Changgen came uninvited.
Li Changgen came to the sawmill and found the slightly fat worker, asking: "How is the waste in the past two days? Should I send someone to drag it away?"
"It's all piled up there, Principal Li will drag it away now." The worker pointed to the place where the waste was piled up.
"This money will be settled together after the end of the month." Li Changgen said.
"It's easy to say, Principal Li will take it away first." The worker was very polite to Li Changgen.
Seeing that Li Changgen turned around and was about to leave, Li Shaoan hurriedly chased after him.
"Principal Li, wait."
"Who are you, what are you doing?"
Li Changgen looked at the young man in front of him in confusion. He didn't remember knowing someone like this, but there were many people who came to Li Changgen to do things on their own, so it was no wonder.
Li Shaoan smiled and said, "Principal Li, my name is Li Shaoan. I used to be a student of No. 4 Middle School. Today I want to pull some wood chips. I hope you can help and make things more comfortable."
Li Changgen asked, "How much do you want to pull?"
"It's almost a thousand pounds." Li Shaoan replied.
Li Changgen shook his head immediately and refused, "This is not possible. You have to take it away. How can I open the fire to cook in the school cafeteria?"
In fact, a thousand kilograms of wood chips are nothing to do with the daily consumption of the school canteen. Not to mention that there is enough wood chip waste pulled from the sawmill to the school, the school also purchases firewood every month, so this thousand kilograms of wood chips will definitely not be missing, which will lead to the inability to open fire.
The reason why Li Changgen firmly disagrees with his attitude is ultimately related to his own interests.
The school pays for purchasing firewood every month. The price of buying firewood with the villagers on the street is definitely more expensive than pulling scraps from sawmills. Although there are not many things you can make here, it will be quite a lot after ten years.
Seeing Li Changgen leaving, Li Shaoan shook his head helplessly. It seemed that pulling wood was not as simple as he thought.
