Chapter 141 You didn't want to plant just now
The red banner read: Warmly welcome Director Lu of the Food Factory to Hongqi Commune.
There were two rows of people standing on both sides of the banner.
Two rows of people shared one gong, and the rest held basins and sticks.
Crude but effective.
"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."
The loud cheers made Director Lu get out of the car quickly.
The leaders of the Red Flag Commune immediately stepped forward and clasped their hands.
"Director Lu, welcome, welcome!"
Director Lu immediately entered the factory director mode and started to greet people.
Jiang Cheng and the two directors who came with him stood at the back.
A group of people were escorted in.
This kind of crowding is a kind of being watched and observed, like a new animal in a zoo.
Inside the room, Director Lu exchanged pleasantries for a while before saying, "President Ma, let's go check out the experimental field. Time is the mission."
"Director Lu cares deeply about production. I admire him!"
President Ma was flattering him.
Director Lu had only one thought in his mind: Jiang Cheng’s filming was still better and more comfortable to listen to.
Others’….are just a little more deliberate.
The group went there in a mule cart.
It is difficult to drive a car in the bumpy countryside.
It was Jiang Cheng’s first time riding in a mule cart and he felt very curious.
At first, I just swayed and admired the natural scenery. The breeze was blowing and everything was beautiful.
But half an hour later, Jiang Cheng had only one thought: When will it arrive?
My butt is going to break!
The road is so bumpy!
It is no exaggeration to say that she was thrown down once.
Another forty minutes passed before the mule cart finally entered the village.
"The mule cart is coming! The mule cart is coming!"
Several barefoot boys were climbing out of the ditch and running after the mule cart.
Several elderly people at the entrance of the village also stood up, stretched their necks and looked again and again.
I haven’t heard that there are any new educated youth coming?
President Ma called a child and asked him to find the team leader.
The child who was called did not move, but stared at President Ma and his group with curiosity.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng took out two pieces of fruit candy from his pocket and stuffed them into the boy's pocket.
The boy's eyes suddenly lit up and he ran away!
"I'm going right now! I can run really fast!"
The boy went to deliver the letter, and President Ma burst out laughing.
Soon, the team leader came over with a face full of dirt and a lot of corn leaves on his head.
"President Ma, why are you here?"
President Ma criticized with a serious look on his face: "Didn't I tell you at the last meeting that Director Lu of the food factory would come to inspect in the next few days? Why are you still acting like this?"
The captain said naively: "We are busy with the autumn harvest, how can I have time to relax?"
Seeing this, Director Lu interrupted and said, "The autumn harvest time is precious, let's talk business."
Let’s get to the point.
The team leader was somewhat reluctant when he knew that Director Lu wanted to use the land in their village.
There isn't even enough food to eat, so where is the spare space to grow useless crops?
In the eyes of the team leader, Director Lu was no different from those educated youth who ate but did not work, and who were all here to take over their village’s resources.
President Ma secretly glared at the captain several times, but unfortunately the captain was not good at acting.
Jiang Cheng took in the little actions of several people and thought that this village was pretty good.
At least they won't pretend to obey but actually go against it.
After walking around, Director Lu chose a flat piece of land on the edge of the area so as not to affect the farmers' large-scale planting.
The captain's face looked a little better.
But whether it will work or not will have to wait until the agricultural experts arrive tomorrow to find out.
Therefore, Director Lu and his companions decided to stay overnight in the village.
The team leader simply called the women's director to arrange accommodation for him, and he just threw his arms around and went to the fields to harvest the crops.
President Ma was so angry that his teeth were itching. If their village wasn't at the right distance, had the right terrain, and there wasn't a river nearby, he really wouldn't have chosen this place!
Compared with the captain's straightforwardness, the women's director is much more tactful.
The most interesting thing is that they are a couple.
The women's director arranged for Jiang Cheng and another female director to live in her home.
Director Lu, another production manager, a driver, and President Ma live in the home of an elderly widow in the village.
After the accommodation was arranged, the women's director, also known as Cheng Dasao, began to arrange dinner.
Jiang Cheng and Director Lu and others immediately took out their dry food. Both sides politely pushed and refused, and finally Sister Cheng accepted it with a smile.
After receiving it, Cheng Dasao went straight to the backyard to catch a chicken and kill it!
The aroma of local chicken stewed with potatoes wafted far away.
When the captain came back, his face was a little dark, although it was not obvious.
Why are you killing chickens?
Seeing the captain with a gloomy face, Cheng Dasao whispered, "They brought their own dry food and gave cloth coupons and sugar coupons. I can't even pay them back by killing a chicken. Put away your smirk!"
"He's the factory manager, what do you mean by that?"
! .
The team leader either doesn't understand or he feels sorry for the land.
"knew!"
The captain was reluctant, but after washing himself, he smiled somewhat and went back to the house to eat.
A large pancake made of two pieces of flour for dinner.
A pot of chicken stewed with potatoes and a large pot of fish stewed with tofu are two very important dishes.
The other dishes were made from whatever was available in the yard.
As they ate and drank, they naturally started chatting.
"Growing cucumbers?"
The captain's smile, which had finally shown a little more strength, fell again.
These city folks are really capable of making trouble.
Everyone has cucumbers in their garden, but who would buy them if they were grown?
"Captain, we don't grow these cucumbers for ourselves, we sell them to other countries."
"What?"
The captain was even more confused.
Jiang Cheng continued, "Captain, the foreigners really like these cucumbers! The ones they grow themselves are not as good as the ones we Chinese grow!"
"We have been farming for five thousand years. Let's not talk about others. Let's talk about you, Captain. If I give you this cucumber to grow, can you grow worse than the Eight-Nation Alliance?"
The captain shook his head violently!
That’s definitely not possible!
"Why is there still the Eight-Nation Alliance?"
Jiang Cheng nodded solemnly.
"Of course! They haven't eaten anything good either. If we grow this and sell it to them, they will have to pay us."
"Captain, guess how much we can sell this cucumber for?"
The captain was completely hooked by Jiang Cheng's words.
There's no way, farming is his destiny!
Besides, this has caused family hatred and national hatred, how can he not care!
"One cent per pound?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head.
"Two cents? Cucumbers are worthless."
Jiang Cheng shook his head again.
"Captain, how can we, the Chinese who are the best at farming, sell it so cheaply?"
"I'm talking about 50 cents... per pound."
"What!"
The captain stood up suddenly.
"50 cents a pound! Almost as expensive as pork!"
"impossible!"
Jiang Cheng didn't explain, but took out a rag doll from his backpack and placed it on the table.
"Nothing is impossible. This doll is sold to foreigners for thirteen dollars, which is nearly thirty-one Chinese yuan."
"Our cucumbers are made with the most advanced greenhouse technology, under the personal guidance of a team of experts, the first batch of off-season vegetables in China, a brand new canning production line, and a secret recipe passed down by our ancestors. With all these added up, is it too much for me to charge 50 cents?"
The power of cumulative titles cannot be underestimated.
When the captain heard this, he immediately slammed the table and shouted, "Too cheap!"
Director Lu tilted his head and said: Brother, you didn’t want to plant just now? ?
