Chapter 120 Knowledge is Productivity
Wu Laowai had just left with half a wolf meat when Hong Ye arrived at the educated youth settlement right on time.
When Sun Changkui was injured, all five of his six sons, except for the youngest who didn't come, would have a meal at the educated youth settlement before going home.
Knowing that Chen Tuo was busy with his creative work, Hong Ye would come over on time every day after school for the past two weeks.
After feeding the five boys from the Sun family, Chen Tuo also had Hong Ye feed the two mountain dogs in the repair room.
These two have become more and more familiar with each other lately. With Chen Tuo around, the Sun family's boys can also pet them without being threatened by their bared teeth.
After taking care of the mountain dog and the puppy, Chen Tuo still had to give Hong Ye a literature lesson, which was a necessary means for him to consolidate his knowledge of Chinese literature.
With the thought of going up and down the mountain in mind, Chen Tuo was not in a hurry to take down Hong Ye.
These days, it's not just about RVs or how much money you have anymore.
Although people are moving away from simplicity, the basic public order and good customs still exist, and their binding force is much stronger than it will be in the future.
Between Bailong and Hongye.
The White Dragon is more conducive to the development of one's career.
Chen Tuo would like to have a passionate and exciting relationship, but there is no one around him who he likes.
In his view, both Hong Ye and Bai Long were pretty much the same; their needs for profit outweighed their needs for emotion.
And this is how most people have interacted in the past, present, and future.
Most people are bound by public order and good morals, so whether or not the interests are achieved has little impact on the continuation of the marriage.
The next morning, Wu Laowai, along with Guan Dunzi and his son, met Xiao Kai and Zhang Taibao, who were driving a horse-drawn sled, at the entrance of the educated youth settlement.
Upon seeing Guan Tianpeng, Xiao Kai, who was sitting on the sled, frowned deeply.
Zhang Taibao, driving the sled, greeted the father and son with a "humph."
Xiao Kai had suffered at Guan Tianpeng's hands more than once, while Zhang Taibao, out of consideration for their cousin relationship, couldn't get too close to the father and son.
As a leading figure among the younger generation in the Songling Forest Area, Xiao Kai originally intended to keep the Guan family father and son out of the educated youth settlement.
But thinking of Chen Tuo in the educated youth settlement, Xiao Kai could only swallow his resentment.
I started making calls yesterday afternoon and continued until night, and I received several more calls this morning.
Xiao Kai had already contacted Song Ling's father and kept him busy all night, finally managing to get some inside information out.
Chen Tuo's few words, though seemingly insignificant, pointed Xiao Kai towards a golden path, highlighting a cultural and tourism sector outside of Heilongjiang Province.
No one in Xiao's family or friends could clearly explain which path to take, but Xiao Kai had one person by his side who understood.
Following the advice of relatives and friends in Beijing, Xiao Kai made a decision early in the morning to firmly support Chen Tuo's general direction.
"Uncle Wu, Uncle Guan... Tianpeng..."
After spending half a day on the sled, the tactful Xiao Kai decided to temporarily set aside his grudge against Guan Tianpeng.
"Hmm! You're here pretty early! Guan Dunzi and Tianpeng, Chen called them over because he's worried about them encountering wolves on the mountain..."
The Guan brothers remained silent, and Wu Laowai, knowing that their argument was just a young man's squabble, stepped in to smooth things over for the sake of the hunters' treatment.
The Guan family's official wrestling skills have been passed down through generations. Guan Dunzi was able to make a name for himself in the wrestling arena and even fled to Songling after injuring someone, so his skills must have been quite good.
Guan Dunzi was quite skilled, and Guan Tianpeng, who inherited the family's ancestral craft, was naturally no less capable.
Young people are always eager to fight. None of the young men from Songling who went up against Guan Tianpeng had any advantage.
If you get beaten up, you'll definitely hold a grudge.
After being beaten too many times, the grudges of young people are not easy to resolve.
Wu Laowai believed that Xiao Kai's ability to greet people with difficulty was also due to Chen Tuo, who lived in the educated youth settlement.
At this point, Guan Tianpeng couldn't remain silent.
Wu Laowai kicked Guan Tianpeng, which earned him a greeting of "Section Chief Xiao" and "Second Brother Zhang," thus resolving most of the feud between the young men.
"Chen Zhiqing, I've found you a sewing machine, a shoe-pressing machine, and even a garment factory's process manual. Would you like to take a look?"
After the two groups finished talking, Chen Tuo, who had just come out of the repair room at the back, appeared at the entrance of the educated youth settlement after hearing the horse snort.
"Section Chief Xiao, can the hunters in the mountains understand the manual? Could we invite a mentor up the mountain to give them some pointers?"
To say that the hunters who settled in the mountains, without their modern rifles, medicine, and tools, are still living in the late Qing Dynasty is not an insult.
It's not far off to say that they are still living the way they did thousands of years ago.
According to Chen Tuo's own understanding, the daily lives of the three Solon tribes, who were suppressed by the Qing Dynasty, should be similar to those during the Liao and Song Dynasties.
Although there were merchants like Su Dao and Morigen who traveled between grasslands, forests, and river borders, the overall way of life remained semi-primitive.
This should also be the main reason why they were asked to move down the mountain and settle down in the 1950s.
"Chen Zhiqing, I thought of that too. The ones I found were all process manuals published in the 1950s, which had illustrations..."
Now, the saying isn't "knowledge is power," but rather "knowledge is productivity."
Besides the clothing manufacturing manual, there are many other types of manuals as well.
These manuals are largely similar to militia training manuals, with many illustrations, designed to be easy to understand at a glance.
"Kid, no need to look for anyone. He knows how to use a sewing machine and a shoe-making machine. He specializes in making leather boots; he's a craftsman!"
Wu Laowai's words made Guan Dunzi smile shyly. His family's tradition was wrestling in the Shanpu Camp, not making leather boots.
Why did I make leather boots? It was out of necessity to make a living.
Once you arrive in the Songling Forest Area, you can't make a living by using your ancestral skills without a wrestling arena.
He could only follow the style of wrestling boots and refer to the appearance of cowhide boots, and thus became a shoemaker in a daze.
With no family-inherited skills, Guan Dunzi made a living as a shoemaker by cheating his customers.
Otherwise, if you have the skills to make shoes, who the hell would be willing to brave the wind and snow to go hunting in the mountains?
He had cheated too many customers and couldn't earn enough money to buy leather, so he had no choice but to go up the mountain, and ended up becoming a mountain runner in Songling.
With the means to make a living from hunting and the pelts he acquired to test his skills, he gradually rose to become a shoemaker in Songling with a less-than-stellar reputation.
"Alright! Let me pack up, then we can go up the mountain together? Section Chief Xiao, if it's inconvenient for you, just have Brother Zhang go. You stay home and wait for news..."
"Alright, I won't go then. Chen Zhiqing, can you tell me about yesterday again?"
Although he had received guidance from relatives and friends, Xiao Kai knew that the only obstacle to his advancement lay with Chen Tuo.
What the hunters in the mountains think or want is none of his business.
Chen Tuo said that what the hunters in the mountains think and want is what he should do.
If the hunters want anything outside Chen Tuo's territory, they'll have to rely on their own abilities to get it; he has no intention of being a pushover.
"Alright! Let Uncle Wu tidy up the hides, and I'll tell you all about it."
Xiao Kai's reaction was both within Chen Tuo's expectations and the reaction he wanted.
While packing, I briefly explained to Xiao Kai the significance of preserving the fishing and hunting culture and the shamanic tradition.
Chen Tuo still focused his efforts on small items like hunting knives, hunting boots, and hunting clothing.
After all, words are not enough; only real heirlooms placed in front of you can be convincing.
Before leaving, Chen Tuo also gave Xiao Kai a task: to find a few sets of Manchu shaman attire.
This wasn't a problem for Xiao Kai. He could make a few phone calls and ask his forestry colleagues in different places; perhaps he could find it in someone's warehouse...
