Cold chain for 20 years

Chapter 65
"The expert group from the city came to our village to support the cold storage project. Please send representatives to the village for a meeting!"

"The expert group from the city came to our village to support the cold storage project. Please send representatives to the village for a meeting!"

The loudspeakers in the village shouted over and over again.

After shouting for more than half an hour and more than an hour later, only a few people watched outside the village with their sleeves wrapped.

On the contrary, in other places in the village, small meetings were held under the lush trees and beside the empty stage.

"Mr. Weng, isn't the cold storage just a cellar on the ground, why can't it be built?"

Weng Huzi sat on a wooden chair under a big tree, with a wooden shelf in front of it, and a groove was dug out to support a two-foot-long bong. He first lowered his head and smoked slowly, and then a The appearance of seeing through the secrets.

"You watch TV at home and watch two episodes of The Mansion Gate a day, and you have to turn off the commercials in the middle. If it's not dark, you don't turn on the lights. What kind of account is it? Isn't it just to save some electricity bills! But do you know how much electricity is consumed by the cold storage? , that big machine turns, and one day catches up with you watching TV for a month, this is not a cellar, this is an ancestor who spent money!"

These words only made people gasp, and then Weng Huzi tapped the pipe pot again, "What is a subsidy? The subsidy means that you spend a lot of money first, and then I will stuff you with some seams later. In order to build such a cold storage, Put your savings first, and then wait for it to burn money, you should think about it yourself!"

After saying this, Weng Huzi leaned back, covered his face with a straw hat, and ignored people no longer.

Liang Dafeng started a small stove on the other side of the village.

An older person asked, "Dafeng, what's the village department's opinion on the cold storage?"

"Uncle Si, it's not clear! This expert group has been here for more than half a month. If the village department really thought about it, they would have called everyone together. If it's so exhausting, the sensible ones would have moved away!"

"Why can't we discuss this matter?"

"Discussion? No matter how much we discuss, we still have to pay you in the end. Why didn't this kind of thing happen a few years ago, because we all knew that we would have no spare money, so why didn't we mention subsidies at that time? How can we make up for you if we don't have money! I learned about it in the village department first, if you don’t get together, you won’t give those guys a chance to stir up trouble! Another orange is about to come down, and you can’t delay this if you delay anything!”

People nodded repeatedly, praising Liang Dafeng for his practical work, and having such a backbone reassures everyone.

"Uncle Si, I see that you are a little interested in this matter, why don't you take some money out of your pocket to build one for everyone?"

"Go, go! I won't do it!"

The fourth uncle subconsciously covered and patted his pocket. There was no money in his pocket but three eggs. He patted hard, and the egg yolk and egg white flowed out of his hand, causing loud laughter.

People's wishes are the most irresistible.The matter was completely stuck at this point, the old village head seemed powerless, he couldn't go door-to-door to ask for it, everyone could see this situation clearly, even if he came to the door, he was deaf and lame.

During the conversation, it was almost December in the Gregorian calendar, and the oranges in Lianghuzhuang came down.

Every time a big car comes, there are always a few familiar faces who have a good chat with the big car buyers. When the price cannot be negotiated, these people appear very useful, handing over cigarettes and making a few jokes. up.

At the same time, Hu Shutong also saw many surprising things in the transaction. The ones that were a little smaller and had a little spot on their skin were rejected by others, and the ones who got on the bus were all big, round and full of water. goods.

Oranges are a fruit that looks very solid, but in fact the skin is easy to wilt.It is not the same as citrus. Many citrus are soft-skinned oranges. The difference is not particularly obvious after a period of time at room temperature, but once the water on the skin of the orange is lost, it is easy to see that it is not fresh.

Therefore, for the remaining ones, the fruit growers put their own carts one after another, and went to the villages and county roads to sell as much as they could. As for the withered and broken ones, it was not a pity, because they had already picked the leftovers. , The bulk of the money is still in hand.

As time passed, Hu Shutong felt more and more hostility. Somehow, the villagers became more and more unfriendly towards Hu Shutong and his group, as if they were trying to cheat them out of money.

The cold storage incident made people feel that the village was lifeless, like a stubborn old man who couldn't listen to anything.

One thing can be changed, and people immediately find that the actions here are full of spirituality.

Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, a "banyan tree prayer" is being held once a season.

A circle of tables was set up under the banyan tree, and various fruits were placed on tall plates on the table.Every household, regardless of adults or children, has ribbons wrapped around their wrists, most of which are red and gold. After praying in front of the big banyan tree for a few minutes, they hang the ribbons on the hanging branches.

Seeing this scene at first glance makes people feel unreal, giving people a feeling of being dormant in a cave, and the spring thunder is coming out in unison.This is a rare opportunity, Hu Shutong picked up the big horn hanging on his waist, and yelled out after praying.

"Folks! I am a student of Ming University. Cold storage is not something that burns money, but something that can actually make us money! With cold storage, if you can't sell it today, you can put it in half a month, a month later. Finally. And this time we can get agricultural machinery subsidies, the state subsidy gives us 20%, and the construction of a warehouse can be used for [-] years!"

"It's all gone, it's all gone!" someone in the crowd shouted.

Hu Shutong saw that it was the perpetrators who did the wrong things in the first place, so he couldn't help but speak louder, "Folks, with the cold storage, the fruits at home won't be wilted, and we don't have to wait for the cart. It costs a few cents." Look at people's winks! The big and small ones are all good fruits outside! Folks, these are all harvests! We sell them cheaply in the peak season, but with cold storage we can stagger the peak season. We all know that watermelons in summer Mao Er, the watermelon in winter is fourty-five cents, it’s worth everything, it’s better to have a bigger money bag!”

"Go away!"

"Folks! How can you get rich without investment! Everyone knows that three-row grape trellises can be converted into nine ridges to sell more money, and high-power water pumps have better seedling growth. This is the same reason, and there are national policy subsidies. What else do you want?" Relieved!"

Hu Shutong's words were not ineffective, especially when it came to money bags, many people slowed down.But no matter how loud the words are, people who can’t be urged, fruit farmers are all small houses and small temples, let the leader of the car stare at them and say a few words to the driver of the cart, and they may not receive their own fruits for several months .

When I looked again after a while, it was like the wind blowing the direction of the reeds in front of my eyes, and only the back was left.
