Sheng Liancheng was an impatient man and was afraid of delaying farming.
When cooking corn porridge, adding some white beans and red beans makes it incredibly fragrant.
Farming is physically tiring, but after a day's work, you feel relaxed. In the evening, you can cook something delicious and drink a couple of cups of tiger bone wine to relax your muscles and improve blood circulation. You'll sleep exceptionally well that night and wake up the next day feeling energetic and refreshed.
Sheng Xiping put the phone down, covered it with a cloth, and then came out of the inner room to find a stool and start picking out vegetables together.
"Don't delay if you have important business to attend to."
"Honey, hurry up and get some food for our eldest. I'll pick out the vegetables and have him take them all this afternoon; we can share them with the neighbors when we get home."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Liancheng quickly replied.
Zhang Shuzhen responded and got up to start a fire and cook.
The father and son sorted the wild vegetables, picking out the grass, leaves, branches, and so on. They cleaned them up, tied them up again, and put them into woven bags, which Sheng Xiping would take away later.
The forest farm is close to the mountains, so there are plenty of these things. You can gather a lot in a short time if you go into the mountains. If Sheng Liancheng and the others want to eat, they can just go into the mountains and gather them.
After lunch, Sheng Xiping drove back to Songjianghe. Once home, he sorted out some of the wild vegetables and delivered them to Zhou Mingyuan.
There are few forests and wild vegetables around Songjiang River. Zhou Mingyuan and his wife used to work and never went up the mountain to pick vegetables.
They went into the mountains, and probably didn't even know where celery grows.
These days, nobody considers wild vegetables a delicacy, and nobody picks them to sell at the market, so you can't buy them even if you want to.
Most of the time, whoever went into the mountains to pluck the most would give some to their relatives and friends.
Zhou Mingyuan has been away for five or six years and rarely comes back, so many relationships have become distant.
In addition, Zhou Mingyuan has retired, and no one can rely on him anymore, so naturally there are not many people who want to give him gifts.
Seeing that their son-in-law had brought so many wild vegetables, Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were very happy. They insisted on making celery dumplings for dinner and invited Sheng Xiping and the others to come over for dinner.
Sheng Xiping had already promised Guo Shouye and couldn't break his promise, so he declined his mother-in-law's offer.
He chatted with Zhou Mingyuan for a while, and when he saw that it was almost time, he left the Zhou family to go find Guo Shouye.
Sheng Xiping, Guo Shouye, Xu Shiyan and others gathered together. They hadn't seen each other for several years, and they were all very friendly when they met.
Everyone was
There was an unspoken understanding between them, and no one bothered to find out what Sheng Xiping had been up to for the past two years; as long as he could come back, that was all that mattered.
Everyone has done quite well in the past two years.
Guo Shouye and his son now manage Fenglin Timber Industry and two mineral water plants in Quanyang and Songshan, which are very profitable. They are definitely big shots in the Forestry Bureau, and everyone, from top to bottom, treats them with utmost respect.
Needless to say, Xu Shiyan's business is also quite successful. Despite the less-than-ideal ginseng market, Dongfang Ginseng Industry Company has expanded into many areas, and its annual profits are quite considerable.
These people are quite well-known in the area. The manager of the VIP building personally came to receive them and was exceptionally courteous.
While the waiter was serving the food, Sheng Xiping chatted with Guo Shouye and the others, and casually asked about the production of cola concentrate.
Previously, in order to pay for fleet and aircraft orders, the higher-ups instructed that two beverage factories be converted to produce cola concentrate.
After the order was delivered, the relevant technical personnel withdrew directly from those two factories.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was left with more than 90 billion in debt, its economy collapsed, and prices soared.
Life is tough for ordinary people, and many are selling their unused items.
In this situation, the demand for non-essential goods decreases, which will also affect the sales of Coca-Cola, as can be seen from recent orders.
Therefore, closing two factories won't have any impact. The factories in Wudalianchi can fully supply the orders from Russia.
"Brother, let's not talk about the cola concentrate yet. We only produced that stuff because of you."
In reality, it doesn't earn much money, and it's quite time-consuming. To put it bluntly, it's not even as profitable as directly bottling mineral water.
Guo Shouye poured Sheng Xiping a drink and said with a smile.
"I called you here to discuss some serious business."
Didn't Fenglin Wood Industry earn over ten million US dollars in foreign exchange this time? Nowadays, many wood product factories and forestry bureaus want to send people over to learn the technology.
We don't have the technology patents for this, so we can't restrict others from producing it.
Although we have taken some measures, we feel that the effect is not significant. At most, it can only last for two or three years, and there will definitely be many more people following suit after that.
My idea, as Xu and I thought, is that instead of letting others follow suit, we should join forces and set up a private factory to produce engineered wood flooring.
We have the technology, we have the sales channels, so why not make the money ourselves instead of letting others do it, right?
When Guo Shouye said this, he glanced at Xu Shiyan next to him.
"Of course, given our special status, it's not appropriate for us to stand out in public."
"So this matter will have to be taken care of by you, little brother. What do you think?" Guo Shouye stared at Sheng Xiping and asked him.
At this point, Sheng Xiping finally understood why Guo Shouye had summoned him in such a hurry—it was all about this matter.
Indeed, this type of three-layer solid wood composite flooring is not technically demanding, and Huayang Factory can produce it with slight modifications to its equipment.
When the Forestry Bureau and the First Ginseng Farm were discussing cooperation, Sheng Xiping had considered it, but at that time Tengyue Company was too large to handle.
Now that the management rights of Huayang Factory belong to Sheng Xiping, he doesn't need to worry about anything else, so setting up another factory isn't a big deal.
