slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 508 The Mayor Is Here
For two consecutive days, Cang Hai and the villagers were the same, busy harvesting watermelons in the field every day, and in the afternoon, he returned to the village to measure the standards of each watermelon with the factory staff, and then watched his own melons being harvested. Transport it to the truck and transport it to the processing factory in the county.

I was very tired every day, fell asleep as soon as I got home, and then slept until dawn and continued to work.

Now the only idler in the village is the new village secretary, who spends the whole day holding a cup of tea or hiding in the air-conditioned room of the village office to make phone calls. The villagers will just pretend that this person does not exist, and it is best to live in peace. of.

This state lasted for another two or three days. Today is the day when Lu Yanzhi brought people down. Cang Hai and the villagers followed Lu Yanzhi's request and did not hold any welcome party, except for Cang Hai and Wei Wenkui. Four people, Hu Shijie and the village secretary, and the others got up early in the morning and continued to do their own work.

"Are you here yet?"

Cang Hai stood under the old elm tree in the village, kept fanning himself, and asked Hu Shijie who was looking around under the bright sun.

Hu Shijie shook his head and walked back: "It hasn't arrived yet, but it should be here according to the time. Could something happen on the way?"

Wei Wenkui said: "What can happen on the road? Now the road is not the same as it was two years ago. There are concrete guardrails on the dangerous places on the roadside. Even if there is an accident, it is not a big deal. Can Lu Yanzhi still drive fast when he travels?"

Just as he was talking, Wei Wenkui opened his mouth and said, "Here we come!"

Cang Hai stood up and stretched his head to take a look. Sure enough, a convoy appeared in his line of sight. There were quite a few cars, about seven or eight cars. In front were two police cars clearing the way. , It looks like the Internet celebrity car imitated by Toyota, followed by an OB van, there are some things like antenna pots on the roof, and there are words printed on the body, and then there are two cars behind Small passenger car, the last one is an off-road vehicle.

When the convoy came into sight, everyone felt relieved. They went back to the village and waited for about 10 minutes. When they saw the head car coming into sight, they stood up one by one and put on a welcome posture.

When Lu Yanzhi's motorcade arrived at the entrance of the village, the village secretary led Hu Shijie and others to meet him, and Lu Yanzhi's car stopped safely in front of the village secretary.

When Lu Yanzhi got out of the car, the village secretary was the first to greet him: "Welcome Mayor Lu to Sijiaping Village for investigation and research! Today, the villagers are busy harvesting melons in the fields, so we are the only ones coming over." Welcome to you...".

This string of words is too beautiful. Although it was based on the script, Cang Hai still gave this village secretary a thumbs up. If you don’t know, you would think that this person has contributed a lot to the development of Sijiaping Village. It is impossible to guess that the village secretary hardly touches Sijiaping.

Lu Yanzhi also pretended to be confused. He also knew that the village secretary was a mascot in Sijiaping Village, but he still said a few words with a smile.

"Let's stop standing here and go into the village."

Soon Lu Yanzhi had the right to speak.

Now that Mayor Lu had spoken, everyone walked in. The people in the car had already got off at this time, and everyone followed Lu Yanzhi and entered the village one by one in front of the opened camera.

When they arrived at the village office, Cang Hai and Wei Wenkui, uncle and nephew, were busy pouring tea for the visitors, while Lu Yanzhi was listening to the village secretary's report in the village office.

At this time, several cameras directly surrounded the office into a small meeting place, and Cang Hai couldn't squeeze in, because besides Lu Yanzhi, there were also senior county officials and several county magistrates facing the camera, plus A small office for a village secretary who is reporting is half occupied, and the remaining half is for the entourage and reporters from several stations.

After all, the village secretary came from a veteran official, and he was not at all shy in front of Lu Yanzhi and the county leaders. He talked for more than half an hour, and answered a dozen questions. Jiapinglai seems to know better than Canghai, who hardly ever leaves the village.

This made Cang Hai have to admire this eloquence.

On Lu Yanzhi's side, he just pretended to be photographed. After waiting for half an hour, he obviously had no patience to continue listening.

Lu Yanzhi turned to the county official and asked, "Why don't we go down and have a look? What do you think of the busy farming in the village?"

"Then do as Secretary Lu said!" Of course, the county official had the head of Mayor Lu at this time, and immediately agreed to Lu Yanzhi's proposal.

Then there was a lot of busy work, Canghai was in charge of setting up the car, Wei Wenkui was distributing straw hats to everyone, Lu Yanzhi also changed into a light attire at this time, a white short-sleeved shirt, and a gray thin suit underneath. He was wearing trousers with rolled up trousers and a pair of sandals on his feet. He didn't look like a mayor.

After getting on the cart, the group headed towards the melon fields in the village. Cang Hai couldn't drive the cart for Lu Yanzhi, and the job of driving the cart was taken over by the village secretary. Holding the whip, Cang Hai thought that this guy would never do this kind of rough work.

Cang Hai pulled the staff of the TV station. After filming some material, these people got on Cang Hai's cart.

Compared with the previous car, Canghai's car is much more lively. They are all young people, and the oldest one seems to be in his early 30s.

"The vegetation here is very good. To be honest, you have the best and most abundant vegetation in the west I have traveled before," said the photographer from China TV.

Without waiting for Cang Hai to answer, the reporter from the provincial TV station smiled and said: "Senior brother, this is the only one in the whole province. Didn't you know that there will be a national-level protected area not far from here, and there are not only discoveries in it? Tigers and leopards, some people say that it is a rare ecological treasure house in the country, if you have time, I will take you to see it.”

Cang Hai was quite curious, and opened his mouth to ask, "Have you been here?"

"Well, I did a special issue, and I spent two days resting in your village."

After hearing this, Cang Hai felt that he must not be there that day, otherwise he would not have forgotten that there was such a person, but this is also normal. If it is a helicopter in and out, Sijiaping is really the best choice now, because the following The square is flat, and landing two or three helicopters is not a problem.

"Look, there's a hare!"

A hostess saw a hare jumping out by the side of the road, and happily said that people don't care, but the hare shrank back into the grass after being frightened by her sound.

"There are not only wild rabbits here, but also wild boars and black bears. When you get to the field later, you will find that the folks here get along very well with the wild bears, but none of these can be photographed." This person who has been here Zhangkou said again.

Cang Hai also doesn't understand the rules, most of the time he just listens with his ears.In this way, I don't feel awkward all the way, and I have reached the end of the road after listening.

As soon as we arrived at the field, except for those who had been here, everyone was shocked by the scene they saw. In the field, the villagers took turns cutting the melon vines with knives. When the watermelon was cut down, black bears ran He rolled the watermelon in the past, rolled the watermelon to the watermelon pile by the field, then turned around and rolled another watermelon.The work is done more quickly than people.

In addition to bears, there are wild boars wandering around the field from time to time, and one or two wild wolves will appear near the herd of wild boars, and even some foxes will appear in the grass.

Of course, these are not the main points now. The main point is that Mayor Lu participated in the harvesting labor of the villages and had friendly conversations with the villagers.

At this time, Lu Yanzhi's performance is not that kind of show, he is really happy for the villagers of Sijiaping, and he is also proud of his decision at that time.

In any case, the development of Sijiaping Village lacked Lu Yanzhi's contribution. Not to mention the villagers, even Cang Hai recognized this. Without Lu Yanzhi's green light, the development of Sijiaping Village would definitely be It didn't go so smoothly, and without Lu Yanzhi's persistence, the county would not have such a large world-leading refinery.

That's it, at noon, Lu Yanzhi had a big pot meal with the villagers, and in the afternoon, he participated in some labor, and at night, Lu Yanzhi sat with the villagers. It was to be a guest at Hu Shijie's house.

Hu Shijie's house was very lively. It can be said that four generations lived under the same roof. Except for Lai'an who was away, Ping An and Wu Hui all returned home. There were ten members of the family, plus the leaders, a round table was full. , did not enter the house, and directly set the table on the platform in front of the kiln.

A table of people was eating, and there was a camera filming beside it, while Cang Hai and a group of villagers were curiously stretching their heads and brains to watch the excitement outside the lens of the camera.

After the meal was finished, the day's itinerary officially ended. The entourage lived in the guest house in the village under the arrangement of Hu Shijie. As for Lu Yanzhi, he lived in Cang Hai's house. The guest kiln of Cang Hai's family has only one secretary by his side.

"Hey, it's still comfortable when there is no one around!"

Lu Yansheng gulped down a piece of melon, threw the melon into the basket next to him, and then reached out to touch the other piece on the table.

Cang Hai was sitting opposite Lu Yanzhi at this moment, eating watermelon as well, and said with a smile, "I'm tired from watching it all day today."

"There is no way. There are rules for everything. I can't break the rules willfully. By the way, I heard that the harvest in the village is good today," Lu Yanzhi said.

Cang Hai hummed and said: "Well, the quality is still the same, but because of the weather, there is less rain this year, so the watermelons generally grow bigger. Judging from the collected ones now, it is about ten catties heavier than last year's average melon. If If it can be maintained until September and the collection is not finished, then it will be very impressive... ".

Lu Yanzhi said happily: "Well, well, by the way, several nearby villages have also imported melon seeds from your village. How is the effect?"

"The water and soil problems there, the melons produced are not like our village's. I don't know why they degenerate when they go to them, but even so, they are better than ordinary melons, and they are pollution-free. Most of them now They are sold to Japan, and the price is not bad, in short, the income is much higher than the original farming income." Cang Hai roughly mentioned the matter of growing melons in the neighboring village to Lu Yanzhi.

"Or Matsuda Akio?" Lu Yanzhi asked.

Seeing Cang Hai nod his head, Lu Yanzhi smiled and said: "He does all kinds of business. He already took the kiwi fruit business, but now he doesn't even let the watermelon go."

"They are a corporation, a conglomerate. I think there is nothing they don't want to do as long as it is a profitable business. It is not surprising that there are a few supermarkets. Besides, the prices offered by domestic dealers are not comparable to those offered by Teruo Matsuda. No The solution is that the domestic dealers are too hard on it, and a pound for a catty feels too high, and Akio Matsuda gives three and a half yuan for a catty!" Cang Hai said.

"You don't even look at the price of watermelons in the Japanese market," Lu Yanzhi laughed.

Doesn't it mean that he has a good impression of domestic melon dealers, but he just thinks Cang Hai's indignant behavior is funny.

"I can't afford the fart. There are more than 1000 people buying Japanese square watermelons in Shanghai Supermarket. We are also pollution-free. Isn't pollution-free watermelon worth five yuan a catty?" Cang Hai said.

"This matter did not come in a hurry. Everyone has to accumulate a little bit of knowledge and belief about domestic products. You can just think that we are paying off the debt now," Lu Yanzhi still laughed.

It doesn’t happen overnight that everyone has no confidence in domestic products. In the past, even the requirements for export were higher than those for domestic products. It is necessary to give the people time to change their minds. For example, the color TV industry is now reversed. In the past, Japanese color TV What kind of reputation is that in China? Now you go to the mall to see how many Japanese color TV brands are still alive.The same is true for other industries, and consumers must be given time to change their minds.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Yanzhi's secretary was stunned. He didn't know that someone talked to Lu Yanzhi like that, and he couldn't help but think highly of Cang Hai.
