Xianyuan Farm

Early the next morning, the transportation company that had been cooperating with Gu Hongyu for more than half a year sent away the vegetables that Old Hall wanted.

This company has benefited from the long-term cooperation with Gu Hongyu and has been developing smoothly. Now it is one of the top transportation companies even in Shan County. Sometimes Gu Hongyu secretly wonders whether he should also set up a transportation company. Specializing in delivering vegetables and fruits produced on our own farm.

But in the end, I think it’s better to finish the various projects in Honghu Village first. Setting up a transportation company will come later.

Ma Zhishu of Ma'aozi Village stayed at Gu Hongyu's house last night. He ate the vegetables produced in the greenhouse and couldn't stop praising them. Why didn't he know this morning that these vegetables would be picked and transported to the airport, so he also followed Gu Hongyu. Take a stroll in the vegetable greenhouse.

"Little old man, how much can I buy per kilogram of vegetables from the greenhouse when shipped overseas?" Party Secretary Ma finally couldn't help asking as he watched the villagers loading baskets of vegetables onto trucks.

Gu Hongyu smiled: "The price of ordinary vegetables shipped to the United States ranges from a few cents to a few yuan, but these vegetables are top-quality products. I don't know the final price very well. They can probably be sold for ten yuan a pound." Bar!"

"It only costs ten yuan per catty after it has been transported so far. I heard from Lao Aza that the vegetables in other greenhouses are sold for dozens of yuan per catty when they are shipped to Xiangjiang. Will this be a loss?" Party Secretary Ma was talking. Uncle Zha and some nearby farm workers also listened with their ears pricked up.

The current average price of vegetables sold in Xiangjiang is about 65 yuan per pound. Gu Hongyu believes that even in the summer when vegetables have the largest variety and are the cheapest, the price of vegetables will not drop, because these high-end vegetables cannot be replaced by others. Now the supply is still in short supply. As long as someone finds it expensive, someone will come in right away.

According to Party Secretary Ma's question, not only is the cost of selling this batch of vegetables to the United States high, but the sales price in U.S. dollars is not as expensive as that of Xiangjiang. Overall, it is not cost-effective.

However, Gu Hongyu's perspective is different. For the long-term benefit in the future, it doesn't matter if he earns less now, as long as these vegetables are on the market in the United States. The unique quality alone cannot conquer the Americans. Why worry about these rich people not bleeding when they raise the price after they have eaten it?

By that time, Old Hall will not be able to cultivate vegetables like Gu Hongyu. They will definitely lose a lot of money and bring Gu Hongyu's vegetables into the American market. Even if Gu Hongyu continues to give them the distribution rights, the share of the dividends is not up to Gu Hongyu. Will Old Hall's company still have a say at that time? Just think about it and you know the result.

Thinking of this, Gu Hongyu smiled lightly and said: "Uncle Ma, the vegetables shipped out today are making foreigners money. Just now, each kilogram of vegetables was calculated in US dollars. I will raise the price after they taste these vegetables. Come on." Let’s take a long shot to catch the big fish!”

"Haha, the little old boss has a way of doing business. We just follow behind and just go to work, and then we get the salary that others are envious of!" A farm worker who had finished loading and unloading said with a smile.

Gu Hongyu waved his hand: "I will never treat employees who work hard and complain hard. Come on, everyone. The bonus will be doubled this month."

"Oh, long live the old board!"

"I knew that following Guban would definitely lead to success."

"The boss is loyal..."

"I calculated, the salary is 2,500 yuan. The bonus is 700 to 800 yuan. If it is doubled, it will be 1,560 yuan. Plus perfect attendance, my salary can exceed 5,000 yuan this month. I... …, I’m not dreaming, am I?”

"Exactly. I'm so happy for only 5,000 yuan a month. If you add the bonus at the end of the year and be rated as an outstanding employee, boy, the monthly salary in one year will be 6,000 or 7,000 yuan."

"If you ask me, the salary of our vegetable management people is not high. Last year, none of the people who worked on fertilization did not earn more than 50,000 yuan in half a year. According to the old trend of being generous and generous, I think the salary of 150,000 yuan for the whole year this year will not exceed 50,000 yuan." No problem."

"..."

The truck carrying vegetables drove away, and the remaining farm employees whispered to each other. Uncle Aza was smiling from ear to ear for a year, and next to him was Party Secretary Ma, who was also shocked from ear to ear. He responded to the invitation Gu Hongyu's desire to go to Ma'aozi Village became even more urgent.

In the afternoon, the geologist introduced by Chen Luofeng finally arrived. An old man in his fifties with gray hair, wearing a gray jacket, a pair of trousers, and a pair of high-upper leather boots, carrying a A hiking bag.

Although he looked dusty, he still looked energetic and ready to climb mountains and wade in rivers.

Gu Hongyu originally wanted to let Expert Xu sleep overnight and go to Ma'aozi Village early tomorrow morning, but Ma Zhishu was not willing to waste time for a moment, so he left Expert Xu alone and begged in Gu Hongyu's ear: "Little old boss" , you see our whole village is looking forward to you coming over, it’s still early, why not go to our village and start the inspection directly tomorrow morning.”

After thinking for a while, Gu Hongyu asked expert Xu for his opinion. As a result, the few of them loaded up the necessary inspection apartments, camping tents, etc., and sat on Gu Hongyu's Grand Cherokee.

The road from Honghu Village to Ma'aozi Village is still under construction, but now it has been leveled and blasted in many places. The whole project has come to an end. A two-way 5.5-meter-wide road is only There is still cement that has not been laid.

Just after leaving the boundary of Honghu Village, the terrain began to change suddenly.

The wasteland, which has always been relatively flat, now has gullies and ravines, and the car has also driven onto the rugged and winding mountain roads.

Fortunately, these roads are carved out along the mountain. This time, the road renovation has not changed much. The width is only about 4 meters, and some of the narrowest places are only a little more than 2 meters, which is just enough for a car to pass. If the driver's skills and courage are not good, I am afraid he can only turn around.

In the middle of the cliff, some places have relatively wide roads. Generally, these places have built places for passing cars. Gu Hongyu, who was driving, also reminded Secretary Ma to suggest to the town to put more warning signs. So that tourists who are not familiar with the road conditions can drive in.

In general, the distance between Ma'aozi Village and Honghu Village is not far, but there are these cliffs blocking it. Gu Hongyu calculated that it is a full 15 kilometers along the road. However, many villagers in the two villages only take 1 hour to climb the mountain and walk, which is not much more than the time taken by car.

The scenery along the way is really nice. The snow on many cliffs has not melted completely. In addition to the snow scenery, you can also see the red rocks that are very obvious in the sun. Maybe because of the steepness, there is very little vegetation on that side, and basically the rocks are bare and exposed outside.

In many places at the bottom of these mountain valleys, only large pieces of gravel can be seen. Now is the season of melting ice and snow, and you can still hear the sound of gurgling water between the cracks of the rocks. Occasionally, one or two canyons with flat terrain grow green grass, and you can see herdsmen holding long whips and shouting constantly.

"I've come this time. These places are obvious Danxia landforms. I can't believe it..." Expert Xu sighed as he looked at the scenery outside the car.

People like Gu Hongyu. In order to make the people in the car feel safe, the speed of driving the car is also very slow.

We arrived at Ma'aozi Village around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The situation here does look much better than Haojiawan. At least there are no empty houses with no one living here. If you are timid, you will be scared.

Gu Hongyu and the experts came, and all the villagers of Ma'aozi Village welcomed them.

This must be the arrangement of Secretary Ma. When he came back, he borrowed Uncle Azha's mobile phone to use.

"Uncle Ma, why are you doing this? Quickly dismiss all the villagers. Let them do their own things." Gu Hongyu said helplessly to Secretary Ma.

But now Secretary Ma said with a smile: "Xiao Gu and Expert Xu, our whole village has been looking forward to your coming, and today everyone has got what they wanted. You can't spoil everyone's fun!"

"The younger one is Boss Gu, he looks really young."

"This time he finally came to our village, then our village will definitely be like Honghu Village."

"He really brought an expert here. I heard that the development of our village must listen to the opinions of the older expert."

"I hope we can all see the day when Ma'aozi Village changes."

"..."

In fact, those who stayed in the village were all old and young, women and children. The strong villagers either found a job in Honghu Village or volunteered to build the road from Honghu Village.

It is true that the town asked the bank for loans to build these two roads. But many of the people who really participated in the construction were villagers from the two villages, and Ma'aozi Village still had a lot of strong laborers. Some elderly women in Haojiawan took the initiative to petition for the construction of the road. This was known to the county. There was a special news report on this. Many government agencies and institutions in the county also donated money and invited these elderly women back.

However, many villagers still insisted. If they could not do heavy physical work, they would help the masters on the construction site. Whenever they shouted, took tools, cooked, or washed, the people in Haojiawan rushed to do it. In their own words, this time the road was built for them and they could not let others do everything. The whole village was grateful.

Since the villagers all looked at him with hopeful eyes, Gu Hongyu, at the invitation of Secretary Ma, conveyed to the villagers the purpose of coming to Ma'aozi Village again and explained the significance of this visit. In short, after his personal speech, the whole village was in high spirits. The worries and suspicions before were all turned into ashes.

Taking advantage of the afternoon before it got dark, Gu Hongyu dismissed the crowd early, and Secretary Ma took them around the village.

The location of Ma'aozi Village is actually more remote than Haojiawan Village. The whole village is built at the angle between two cliffs. There is also a cliff opposite, but the slope is much flatter. The entrance and exit of the whole village depends on this place. The whole terrain seems to be surrounded by mountains.

The whole village takes advantage of the situation. A small number of houses are built in flat areas, and more houses are built on slopes. Those houses look like stilt houses in the south. They make Gu Hongyu feel a little refreshed here.

Just for this, Gu Hongyu's eyes are bright. This kind of characteristic architectural form is very rare in the northwest of China. If it is well planned and developed, and combined with appropriate publicity, these buildings can attract many tourists.

However, this is not the main point. Ma'aozi Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, forming a peculiar geographical environment. There is also flowing water on another side. It is a small river that flows all year round. According to Secretary Ma, the reason why their village was chosen here is because of the water source.

But what surprised Gu Hongyu even more was that the so-called river in Ma'aozi Village was only a few hundred meters long. This river came out of the underground river, and after a short distance, it flowed back underground and exited Ma'aozi. There are no rivers anywhere else in the village.

Seeing the surprised expressions of Gu Hongyu and Expert Xu, Party Secretary Ma said proudly: "Xiao Gu, Expert Xu, the origin of the name of our Ma'aozi Village is also related to the shape of this mountain village!"

"Oh, tell me."

Ma Zhishu pointed his fingers in all directions: "Have you noticed that our current village is located in a place surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side? If you stand on a high place and overlook this place, it will look like the footprints of a horse. Yes, that’s why it’s called Ma’aozi Village.”

Gu Hongyu looked at the surrounding terrain conditions and realized that the reminder from Jing Ma Zhishu was indeed true. He really fulfilled that sentence that the heaven is so big that there is nothing strange about it.

"Actually, the transportation here is inconvenient, and we lack business-savvy people like old bosses. Otherwise, our place would be no worse than Honghu Village." Ma Zhishu was bragging about selling his own melons and trying his best to promote Ma'aozi Village. I'm afraid Gu Hongyu won't want to see him.

In fact, Gu Hongyu had some ideas when he saw the situation here. This place was really different from the ordinary wasteland. Not only did it have steep cliffs and cliffs, but there were also streams and rivers. On the way here, he also saw several plains where the vegetation was relatively lush. It's a good place for grazing. If it wasn't too far away from the outside world, it would be a natural treasure.

Because there was not much time in the afternoon, Gu Hongyu and Expert Xu followed Ma Zhishu and walked around the village. Walking on the edge of the village, Gu Hongyu unexpectedly discovered that because of the water source, the trees in the village There are actually quite a few, and the trees are lush and lush. Coming here does not feel like you are still in the desert of the northwest.

After an hour of walking, not only Gu Hongyu, but Expert Xu also felt that he still had unfinished business.

There were so many novelties in Ma'aozi Village that surprised them. Gu Hongyu, who had never been used to taking photos with a digital camera, actually took out his mobile phone and took a lot of beautiful pictures. He must take these photos when he returns to Honghu Village this time. Upload to Xianyuan.com.
