Chapter 874
After resting in the compound of the Furong branch, the melon farmers settled the payment with Lu Weiwei, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

If selling melons is compared to a commercial competition, then this wave of operations is obviously ahead of most melon farmers in Jiangnan City.

Selling by unit is different from selling by sack, but selling by car is a higher level.

In the past, it took two or three days to sell out a car of watermelons, but now 20 cars can be sold out in one morning.

In the eyes of most melon farmers, this seems to be daydreaming.

If the buyer hadn't been a policeman and had a professional endorsement as a guarantee, Dong Fang would probably laugh at him for meeting a liar when he said that when he went back.

But now that the money is in hand, everyone feels, should we go to the lottery station next door to buy some lottery tickets?
After all, luck like this does not mean that you can get it by accumulating virtue.

From this point of view, in fact, everyone is more willing to believe that luck is in it.

Especially through the coordinated purchase of watermelons for poverty alleviation in Dongjia Village this time, most melon farmers are aware of it.

The handsome policeman in front of him still has a certain status in the Furong branch. Although the police rank does not seem to be high, his position is not low.

Especially the director's attitude towards him can tell a lot of knowledge.

Melon farmers have no other skills, and they still have some insight into a person's status in the unit.

The young man is in full bloom, and he is also a celebrity in the eyes of the director of the Furong branch. Naturally, the melon farmers dare not neglect.

After all, the next watermelon sales will have to rely on this young policeman to help.

But the problem is that Gu Chen doesn't seem to be interested in these flattery, and he sternly refuses the cigarettes and red envelopes that the melon farmers secretly pulled him aside.

This makes everyone a little embarrassed...

After all, Gu Chen has done everyone a great favor, so if you don't express it, everyone feels a little sorry.

So everyone turned their attention to the cheerful Lu Weiwei.

"Officer Lu, go to our Dongjia Village, you can eat any watermelon in the field, and I will kill you an old hen to make up for it."

said a portly melon farmer.

Lu Weiwei blushed: "There's no need for the old hen, we just went to have a look, mainly to help you promote it on the TV station."

Glancing at Bai Xiaolan, Lu Weiwei said again: "Xiaolan needs to make up, I feel that you have lost a lot of weight than before."

"That's slender. Reporter Bai is in good shape." A melon farmer wearing a straw hat smiled and showed his big white teeth.

Bai Xiaolan covered her face and said shyly, "I'm so embarrassed to say that."

"Don't tell me, Bai Xiaolan is practicing yoga recently, can she not be in good shape?" Photographer Wu Jun couldn't help complaining while eating watermelon.

Lu Weiwei was stunned: "I invited you to go to the gym together before, but you didn't agree. Did you sneak away to practice yoga?"

Do you think Bai Xiaolan has changed?

No matter how Lu Weiwei invited her before, Bai Xiaolan refused to go to the gym, but now that she hasn't seen her for a long time, Bai Xiaolan's figure is close to that of Lu Weiwei.

The whole figure is graceful in lines and well-proportioned.

It feels like this is the result of private practice?

It's like Xueba is the first in the class every time he takes an exam. On the surface, he tells everyone that he never revises, but he often works hard until late at night in private.

There is a reason...

Bai Xiaolan was a little embarrassed, but said truthfully: "I feel that going to the gym with you will make it easier to train myself into a Vajra Barbie. Think about it, it's better to practice yoga with my sister."

"Besides, your physique, Lu Weiwei, is a bit perverted. It doesn't matter if you eat too much and don't get fat, but your figure is perverted. I can't compare with you, so I can only practice secretly."

"What are you talking about?" Gu Chen handed over the follow-up distribution of watermelons to He Junchao, and then walked in front of everyone and asked.

Bai Xiaolan waved her hand: "It's nothing, are you ready here? We're ready, let's go now."

"Okay, I'm going to pick up the car now, so Uncle Dong will lead the way?" Gu Chen said.

Dong Fang nodded fiercely, and said: "Then you all follow me and go to our Dongjia Village together."

To be honest, Gu Chen really didn't want to do this kind of propaganda work with the TV station, it felt too easy.

Unfortunately, there are only a handful of police officers in the Furong sub-bureau with good looks online, and the programs with Gu Chen's participation generally have guaranteed ratings.

Therefore, Bai Xiaolan especially likes to invite Gu Chen to do the show.

Everyone continued to search for Dong Aiping nearby for a while, but after no results, they ignored it and drove out of the compound of the Furong branch directly with the three-wheeled motorcycle team under the leadership of Dong Fang.

Immediately, a convoy of 20 three-wheeled motorcycles once again became the focus of downtown Jiangnan.

Everyone left the urban area, drove on the Huancheng Road, and drove in the direction of Dongjia Village.

Dongjia Village is located in the west of Jiangnan City, which belongs to a relatively remote area of ​​Panhe Town.

To everyone's surprise, Dongjia Village has beautiful scenery with singing birds and fragrant flowers. Except for its relatively remote location, this place meets all people's fantasies about a beautiful countryside.

Especially near Dongjia Village, there is a large lake with willow trees lining the shore, giving people a very comfortable and intuitive experience.

After getting off the car, the photographer Wu Jun couldn't help but picked up the camera and began to shoot the beautiful scenery of Dongjia Village.

"Sure, this place is simply a fairyland on earth." Police officer Wang looked at the ancestral hall of Dongjia Village in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder: "I feel that if this place is further developed, it might become a resort."

"If the road is repaired again, we will publicize it more in the city, and Internet celebrities will check in properly."

"I don't want it." Lu Weiwei walked to Police Officer Wang, and couldn't help complaining: "The scenery in Dongjia Village is all natural. Once it is developed, it will definitely destroy the ecology."

"I agree with Senior Sister Lu's opinion." Gu Chen came to the lake, looked at many egrets living with the cattle on the shore, and said involuntarily: "This place should be the habitat of these migratory birds, and the ecology is relatively fragile."

"If large-scale development is carried out, the ecological balance here will definitely be destroyed, and these migratory birds will leave by then."

"Officer Gu deserves to take a long-term view." After Dong Fang parked his three-wheeled motorcycle, he walked up to Gu Chen and said:
"This place has been inspected by many real estate bosses before, and they said they wanted to build a resort, but they were all rejected by the old village head."

"This place, the old village chief is very clear. Once it is developed, the original ecology will be destroyed. When the number of tourists increases, it will bring many problems, because this lake is a habitat for birds."

"And according to incomplete statistics, there are no less than dozens of rare varieties in our Dongjia Village alone."

"No wonder." Listening to Dong Fang's introduction, Bai Xiaolan said with regret, "If it had been developed into a tourist resort earlier, the people of your Dongjia Village would have been rich long ago, but your old village chief is quite courageous."

Gu Chen suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked Dong Fang: "By the way, isn't your village chief Dong Aiping?"

"It wasn't him before." Dong Fang waved his hand, and then explained: "The old village chief died of illness at the end of last year, and Dong Aiping was after that."

"Our village has been accompanied by migratory birds here for hundreds of years. Now you don't see only egrets, but you have seen swans before."

"Swan?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but excitedly said, thinking that there is such a rare species here, "Does that mean the ecology here is okay?"

"That's right, so what the old village chief meant was that large-scale development must not be carried out here, and this last habitat of migratory birds must be protected. Therefore, the development direction planned for our Dongjia Village is to develop characteristic agriculture."

When Dong Fang talked about the old village chief's confession before his death, he was also eloquent.

But a villager in Dongjia Village said helplessly: "So we are poor. If you ask me, the old village chief's thinking is the same old way, but Dong Aiping is different. Just do it."

"Like before, he went to other places to investigate the planting of watermelons, and when he came back, he made an agreement with us to build a watermelon planting base and grow our local unicorn melons."

Looking up at the weather, the villagers shook their heads: "If it weren't for this year's terrible weather, which caused frequent natural disasters and disrupted our sales plan, buyers would not cancel their orders. "

"If it weren't for this, our local unicorn melons would still be very popular."

"This is only a theoretical possibility." Dong Fang was a little dissatisfied with the villagers complaining about the dead old village chief, and directly refuted it back.

Then he said to Gu Chen: "Actually, I think the village chief did the right thing. This piece of land is a precious wealth left by our ancestors. If it is handed over to some bad developers and developed wantonly, the ecology here will be very easy. destroyed."

"And our place is also very particular about feng shui. If feng shui is damaged, it will be punished by heaven."

"God's punishment? Isn't it so exaggerated?" Lu Weiwei felt that Dong Fang had exaggerated?

Dongjia Village is very beautiful and primitive.

It is precisely because of this situation that Dongjia Village has very limited use of surrounding resources.

Coupled with the remote location, the income of the villagers is far less than that of several surrounding villages.

But even so, the old village head still rejected the investment intentions of several developers, insisted on developing characteristic agriculture, and protected the local ecological balance.

From this point of view, Gu Chen still admires it.

"Maybe the old village chief did the right thing." Gu Chen said.

Dong Fang nodded silently: "Although I also support the old village chief's approach, and other people also respect this decision on the surface, but driven by interests, there have always been proposals to introduce developers to develop tourist resorts. Anyway, everyone is not of one mind. "

Looking up at the ancestral hall, Dong Fang also said helplessly: "It's a pity that when the old village chief was here, everyone still didn't dare to mention it. If it weren't for the existence of the curse, these people would have already lured wolves into the house. A developer is not a good thing at all.”

"Dong Fang, stop talking." Seeing that Dong Fang was mentioning the matter of divine punishment again, a middle-aged melon farmer hurriedly reminded him.

Dong Fang said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, why don't you go to my house for a drink first? Then go to the Qilin melon planting base?"

"No need, let's go directly to the planting base." Gu Chen said.

Dong Fang nodded silently: "That's fine, then you can take my tricycle there, the place is a bit far away, I'll move the car."

After waiting for a while in front of the Dong family ancestral hall, everyone boarded the tricycle that Dong Fang was pulling watermelons just now, and the group drove away from the village along the path.

After driving about two or three kilometers, we came to an open field.

At this moment, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.

Maybe everyone has eaten melons for many years, but they have never seen such a large-scale watermelon planting base.

Dong Fang parked the car, pointed to a melon field and said, "This 50-acre watermelon planting base is planted by 23 of our households, and the profits are shared."

"These watermelons are also our main source of income this year. If it weren't for your help, these melons might all rot in the ground."

"It's a pretty good melon, why did it rot in the field?" After getting out of the car, Gu Chen held the camera in his hand for Wu Jun, then walked to the edge of the melon patch, squatted down and patted a ripe watermelon.

Gu Chen turned to look at Dong Fang: "I have eaten these unicorn melons, they are delicious, sweet and delicious, they should be bestsellers."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei also jumped off the tricycle, walked to Gu Chen's side and said, "How come such a good watermelon has become a slow-selling item? Is it really because of the weather that you missed the purchaser's order?"

Dong Fang sighed and shook his head: "I'm not very clear about this. After all, it was Dong Aiping who suggested planting melons, and it was Dong Aiping who reached a purchase agreement with the buyer."

"We are all honest farmers, so we just earn some hard money. We will grow whatever he Dong Aiping said, as long as we can make money anyway."

"But your Village Chief Dong seems to be a dragon who never sees the end." Bai Xiaolan also looked for Dong Aiping for a long time today.

After all, Dong Aiping is the head of the village, and I have to ask him for advice in many interviews.

But the village head was not there, so he could only interview Dong Fang.

Therefore, Bai Xiaolan also couldn't understand why Dong Aiping, the village chief, disappeared out of thin air when he came to Dongjia Village for an interview?

Dong Fang waved his hand: "I don't care about him, you can talk about it, how to interview, how to shoot, I will actively cooperate with you, as long as we can promote the unicorn melon in our Dongjia Village."

"That's okay, I'll take some close-ups first, and you stand outside the camera first." Photographer Wu Jun took the camera from Gu Chen, adjusted it, and began to take pictures of the melon fields on the spot.

Everyone came together under a big tree.

After a lot of trouble, Bai Xiaolan, Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha and Police Officer Wang also appeared on camera to promote the local unicorn melon.

The police brought the goods on site, and there was an on-site interview by Bai Xiaolan, and the shooting effect was very smooth.

Gu Chen stood on the hillside, under a lonely big tree, looking at a cemetery in front of the forest.

At this time, several crows were staying on the big tree, croaking non-stop, giving people a strange feeling.

Crows have always been regarded as an unlucky symbol, and they often appear near some cemeteries.

People seem to prefer magpies to crows.

Minutes passed by...

Gu Chen sat under the big tree to rest for a while, preparing to think of some copywriting to help Dongjia Village sell watermelons.

But at this moment, those crows that had been screaming non-stop suddenly flapped their wings and flew directly into the distance.

"Junior Brother Gu, the filming is almost done, why don't you come over and record a scene?" Lu Weiwei wiped the sweat from her forehead and walked all the way to Gu Chen's side.

But Gu Chen didn't respond, but leaned against the tree and listened quietly.

Lu Weiwei suddenly felt a little weird, so she asked Gu Chen, "What are you listening to?"

"Wind." Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei was stunned: "Wind? What does wind sound like?"

Because it is an open area, the surrounding area is very quiet, but the movement made by the strong wind here is extremely strange.

Gu Chen didn't know how to explain it, so he could only smile and said, "Don't talk about it, call Xiao Yuan over for me."

"Xiao Yuan, come here quickly." Lu Weiwei turned her head and said to Yuan Shasha in the melon field.

Yuan Shasha trotted all the way over and asked, "What's the matter, Senior Brother Gu?"

"Can these watermelons be settled?" Gu Chen asked.

Yuan Shasha looked around and couldn't help but smiled and said, "It shouldn't be a big problem to order a few thousand."

"Then..."

Before Gu Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by a group of crows flying from a distance.

Dong Fang walked over slowly, looked at the crows in the sky, and couldn't help wondering: "Recently, there are more and more crows here, and it feels quite unlucky. The environment by the lake in our Dongjia Village is better. Sometimes there are crows everywhere in the lake. Swans are much nobler than these crows."

"Haha, it seems that these birds are also classified into different classes." Bai Xiaolan was amused by Dong Fang's words, so she couldn't help but said with a smile.

At this moment, Dong Fang's cell phone rang again.

Without even thinking about it, Dong Fang took out his mobile phone to answer the call.

It was only after a brief communication that Dong Fang hung up the phone with a smile, and couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised: "Another person came to order watermelons, it seems that there are quite a lot of watermelons ordered this time, publicity is really important. "

"I'll make you happy." Seeing Dong Fang's excitement, Police Officer Wang joked, "We've seen the scene as well, and it's considered a field trip, so we know something about this melon patch."

"Afterwards, we will complete the recording of "Positive Energy in Action" together with the white reporter of the TV station. You just wait to count the money at home."

"Oh, if that's the case, on behalf of all the villagers in Dongjia Village, I would like to thank you Furong Branch and Jiangnan TV Station."

After several people finished their work, everyone took some time to go to the lake to take a group photo.

After staying in Dongjia Village for lunch, Bai Xiaolan returned to the urban area with satisfactory material.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Chen, who returned to the Furong branch, also received an assignment from He Junchao.

He Junchao threw a booklet in front of Gu Chen and said, "All the watermelons ordered in the morning have already been received by my brothers, do you feel that these melons are not enough to sell?"

"It doesn't matter, there will be another batch of melons delivered around 4 pm tomorrow, remember to sign for receipt." Gu Chen said.

He Junchao nodded silently: "It feels like our Furong sub-bureau compound is almost becoming a watermelon wholesale market. If we continue to develop like this, it is estimated that we can set up a dedicated watermelon sales point for poverty alleviation at the gate of the Furong sub-bureau."

"In these days, with some gimmicks such as 'poverty alleviation' and 'love', things sell quickly."
