Chapter 207 Hail is coming

  In the early morning of April 2 of the Gregorian calendar, strong winds, heavy rain and hail suddenly hit Bobai County.

 In later generations, for some unknown reason, it was rare to see hail in Bobai County.

  But in this day and age, it is normal to have a hailstorm every few years, not just every year.

 Leave it alone, Bobai County has experienced several hail disasters in the past decade or so.

According to county records, hail fell in Songshan Commune between 6:50 and 6:50 a.m. on April 9, 1974. Large hailstones were 10-20 centimeters in diameter. In Sheguangzhang team, hailstones accumulated into piles as big as a weighing shed.

Many birds and animals on the mountains were killed by hail, and many frogs and fish in rivers and ditches were frozen to death. The leaves of crops in the fields, such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and flue-cured tobacco, were all smashed. The tiles of 6,247 private houses were damaged by hail. Six people were injured.

This is the largest hail disaster in Bobai County's history.

 Hail has occurred for three consecutive years, which is also a rare scene in the history of Bobai.

 …

But don’t worry, Uncle Jiu, my brother’s character is definitely good, and his cooking skills are fast and good. If he comes to work in your restaurant, you won’t have to worry about the kitchen. "

Deng Yunzhen said: "Dad, how about I go up with you? If the tile surface is hit by hail, I can also help clean it up."

 Although these days are not like later generations, once something happens in the circle of friends, it can spread all over the country in an instant.

Knowing that Bobai Town was also affected by the disaster, Deng Shirong couldn't sit still and said: "Yuntai, hurry up and take me to the Tanlian intersection by bike. I want to go to Bobai to see the two-story building I rented." I don’t know if it was hit by the hail, or if the hotel under construction was affected by the hail.”

The hailstones this time were as small as fingers and as big as fists. A total of 20 brigades were seriously affected in Bobai Town and seven communes including Chengxiang, Santan, Yashan, Fengshan, Nabu and Jiangning, and many houses were damaged. More than 40,000 acres of crops were damaged or damaged by ice.

Deng Yunzhen thought about it, so she didn't follow him.

Deng Shirong rushed to the county town and saw that all the buildings around him were intact. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Deng Shirong finally felt relieved when he returned to the street and saw that his two-story building was in good condition and not damaged at all.

 Zhang Guoan nodded and said: "This treatment is already very good. It is equivalent to eating and drinking for free every day, and you will get extra money for eating and drinking for a month. This kind of treatment, let alone others, even me wants to change jobs."

“I want eight. Each person will be given a red envelope of five yuan, and all they have to do is walk up and down Bobai Street a few times holding our hotel’s billboard.”

Deng Yuntai frowned and said while pushing the bicycle out: "If the tile surface is hit by hail, there will be strong winds and floods, and the quilts in the room will definitely be ruined."

Deng Shirong burned several pipes of cigarettes, put the pipe next to him, and said: "Brother Zhang, the person you introduced must be fine. I don't have to worry about the second master anymore. When my hotel opens, I will probably have more Temporarily invite a few good-looking girls and wives to help hold a billboard up and down the street several times to let everyone know that a restaurant has opened here. "

Deng Shirong took the chimney and said with a smile: "There must be wages, but we don't know yet whether the hotel can make money, so the wages may not be high. In addition to being able to manage the food and wine, we will get the same salary as the waiters every month." "Brother Zhang, do you think this salary is acceptable?"

Deng Shirong waved his hand and said: "I can do it alone. It would be best if the house is not hit by hail. If it is hit, I will still have a place to stay if I go up alone. If you follow me up there, you won't even have a place to stay." , It’s not clean to stay in a guest house, so there is no need to go there and suffer this.”

  Two o'clock in the afternoon.

 In short, if there is no change, then their Naye Village will suffer a lot of losses this year.

However, natural disasters like hail spread very quickly. News of what happened in the early morning had reached Naye Village by around 9 a.m.

On the evening of April 13, 1975, there was strong wind and heavy rain. Hail fell with the heavy rain, which lasted for 7-10 minutes. It was mainly distributed in some brigades of Nabu, Xintang, Songshan, Dongping, Shahe and other communes. 7.38 million pieces of roof tiles were broken, and a large number of crops such as seedlings, sweet potatoes, and peanuts were damaged.

On April 3, 1976, due to a sudden hailstorm due to the influence of a strong cold air, 591 production teams were affected and more than 10,000 acres of flue-cured tobacco, corn, peanuts, melons, beans and other crops were frozen to death. .

It seems that we need to find an opportunity to remind the nephews and grandnephews in the village.

Deng Shirong put tobacco into the mouth of the chimney and said with a smile: "As long as your cousin is satisfied."

As long as Deng Shirong was in the county town, he would definitely come to the gate of the court to find Zhang Guoan to rub the chimney.

Zhang Guoan said: "I have also said hello about the chef. He is a brother of mine. He was originally the chef of the state-owned hotel in Shuangfeng Commune. Because of some things, he offended the person in charge of the hotel, and the person in charge kept making things difficult for him. My brother couldn't stand this anger, so he beat him up, and then lost his job.

Seeing Deng Shirong coming over, Zhang Guoan handed the chimney and said: "Uncle Jiu, I have already told my cousin about coming to the hotel as the security manager. He likes to drink some wine. I told him that as long as you come to If you work in a restaurant, you must be responsible for the food and drinks. After hearing this, he agreed, saying that he would be willing to do such a job even if he didn't get paid. "

However, the hail this time also reminded him that this year's frost occurred very early and lasted for a long time. From the beginning of winter until next spring, the weather was not warm even a day. .

Deng Shirong smiled and added: "In addition, please ask a young man to hold a gong to clear the way, and the young lady holding the billboard will follow behind."

 Now, after six years, there has been another hailstorm, and it has been concentrated in April of the solar calendar.

Deng Shirong vaguely remembered that this year, more than 2,500 cattle froze to death in the county. Several cattle also froze to death in Naye Village, including two from Deng Changdong's family. In addition, the entire county also froze to death. Do you know how many acres of sweet potatoes and flue-cured tobacco there are?

Zhang Guoan gave a thumbs up and said: "Uncle Jiu, your idea is really brilliant. I will be responsible for finding the candidates for you. How many young ladies and daughters-in-law do you think you need to hold up the billboard?"

Zhang Guoan immediately had a picture in his mind, and couldn't help but admired: "Uncle Jiu, you are very good at publicity. If you let those big girls and young wives walk up and down the street holding your hotel's billboard several times, it is estimated that the entire county Everyone knows that your restaurant is open."

"There is such a big red envelope. If I let this matter out, I guess the big girls and young wives in our village will have to compete for it. I will find good candidates in advance. Uncle Jiu, just let me know when you want to hire someone. I It will be arranged for you.”

“Well, I’ll let you know when I set the opening time of the hotel.”
