At eight o'clock the next morning, the car drove from Dongjiang County to Qianfu Town.
Usually at this time, the driver will be tactful enough to turn off the music so that the early-rising leaders can rest in the car.
It was the same today. He drove quietly while Secretary Huo closed his eyes and rested in the back seat.
These days, this calm and low-key driver always wonders why the gap between people is so big!
He is a few years older than Secretary Huo, but he is an unemployed driver in the town, while Secretary Huo is already a big shot in the county town so big that even a stomp of his foot can shake people.
Moreover, Secretary Huo is really different from his previous leaders. Those previous leaders wanted to treat him as a slave of the old society and did all kinds of inexplicable things every day. Now Secretary Huo speaks in a soft voice and smiles all day long. He is busy with work every day. When he drives a sports car, he feels a sense of satisfaction and pride in working for the people.
As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
"Old Chu."
Huo Qianli's sudden words startled him instantly, "Hey! Secretary Huo!"
“Does your family farm?”
"Yes!" the driver said with a smile, "My parents are farmers. They have been farming all their lives and they are still farming now."
Huo Qianli hummed, "So what do you grow at home, do you grow them to eat or to sell?"
The driver was a little confused, not really understanding what the question was trying to say, but he had come to understand one thing over the years: if he encountered something he didn't understand, he should just tell the truth, and he would definitely not be able to outwit these officials.
So he honestly said, "Millet, wheat, corn and the like are eaten or fed to chickens and pigs, and some of the vegetables are eaten, and the rest is sold."
Huo Qianli asked: "What if it can't be sold?"
"Of course there are some that can't be sold. It's almost time for the show to end, so we're selling them at a discount. There will always be people who want them." The driver replied with a smile. Perhaps he felt that his tone was a bit stiff, so he quickly added, "If you really can't sell them, just bring them back and eat them yourself."
Huo Qianli also laughed and said, "When certain vegetables are ripe, do you often vomit after eating them?"
"That's right!" The driver said with a smile, "Usually, when a dish is cooked, it will be on the table for a long time. Later on, we didn't even pick it up, but the old man would just pour it into our bowls. But ours is nothing. There's a tofu maker in our village, and tofu is a dish we have all year round at home, haha."
Huo Qianli also laughed, and suddenly recalled some vague memories of his childhood, "It's a kind of happy trouble!"
"These are all small problems for us." Feeling that Secretary Huo seemed very interested in this, the driver chatted a few more sentences. "Gradually, I figured out the situation. I started to think about how much to plant. I have experience in which vegetable garden to plant more and how to distribute it so that there is always food. I probably just plant a little more of each vegetable than I can eat. If I can't finish it, I sell it. Even if I can't sell it, I won't lose too much."
"A little more than enough to eat... a little more than the normal supply..."
Huo Qianli tapped his knees and muttered to himself, not saying anything more. Seeing this, the driver tactfully drove on in silence.
......
After returning to town, it was just time to go to work. Huo Qianli shook himself and walked towards the office.
The problem raised by Guo Haoran is a problem, but it is not a problem that needs to be solved immediately.
Although the growth cycle of vegetables is much shorter than that of salvia miltiorrhiza, it will take at least one or two months for the first batch to mature, including the land transfer procedures and various preparations, so there is still time to resolve it.
Of course, it would be best to think of a solution in advance.
When he arrived at the office, Wang Wei reported on his work and also mentioned that Deputy Mayor Xu Yuanzheng was on a business trip with his men.
Huo Qianli hummed, then looked at him with a smile, "Have you been handling the affairs of the Party and Government Office smoothly recently?"
Wang Wei nodded. "No problem. It's just repetitive work. I can handle it."
Huo Qianli smiled secretly in his heart, "Well, do your job well and leave a trace. If you get promoted one day, it will be easier for the person who takes over to get started."
Wang Wei nodded, "Secretary, rest assured, our work content is very complete."
Huo Qianli:.......
Forget about this focus. I won’t give him any riddles. Let him figure it out for himself after some time.
After Wang Wei left, Huo Qianli began to work hard for the day.
......
On the other side, an ordinary official vehicle of Qianfu Town drove to Qingsheng County of Meizhou and stopped in front of the tall archway of Bamboo Art City. The deputy mayor of Qianfu Town Xu Yuanzheng, the village chief of Zhuyang Village Gao Qiang and an old bamboo craftsman who was the most famous in Zhuyang Village got out of the car.
The old bamboo craftsman was holding a plastic bag filled with a lot of things, with a dejected look on his face.
Xu Yuanzheng took a look and said, "Let's find a place to stay first, let the old man take a break, and then talk about the investigation."
The old bamboo craftsman bent his waist and said, "No need, this is nothing... Ugh..."
Xu Yuanzheng looked at Gao Qiang who was supporting the old bamboo craftsman and waved his hand, "Let's go."
There are quite a few ordinary small B&Bs near Bamboo Art City. Xu Yuanzheng picked a relatively clean one at random and said to Gao Qiang, "Let's take this one. We have regulations for business trips now. I'm sorry to trouble Village Chief Gao."
Gao Qiang quickly said, "You're too polite, Mayor Xu."
There were four people in the group, sharing two standard rooms, and Xu Yuanzheng didn't make anything special, which made Gao Qiang secretly feel that Secretary Huo's return did make things a little different.
