This year's Tourism Expo to be held in Fengcheng will open on May 25 and last for six days. A variety of fruits for entertaining guests and providing tourists at the venue will be allocated from several surrounding fruit towns.
As the largest fruit producing area in Wen County, Xiangcheng is naturally listed among them.
But whether you can be selected depends on whether the fruit you take is worthy of the official's eyes.
"This is a notice issued by the Culture and Tourism Bureau. Application forms should be submitted and fruit samples sealed by May 5 at the latest, and the bidding results will be posted on the 8th."
After the village chief came back from the meeting, he went to Xu Yin's house first.
"The task given to our village by the street is cherries. Your grafted cherries are of good quality. In addition, I will choose a few more. This is related to the face of our village. We must choose the best ones and send them to them."
If you can choose it, then the fruits in Qianjin Village will become famous in the future, and they will be the officially designated fruits of the Tourism Expo!
Of course, Xu's father and Xu's mother were very happy when they heard this. If they could cooperate with the authorities, they wouldn't have to worry about sales.
"If selected, how many kilograms will be contributed to the Travel Expo?"
"Our village only needs to be responsible for the cherries. If selected, we will supply 2,000 kilograms to the venue every day starting from the 25th for a total of six days, which is 12,000 kilograms."
As the village chief said, he took out a stack of forms and sent one to Xu Yin's family: "You must fill in all the blanks on the application form, and you can't fill it in blindly. Fill it out truthfully."
Xu Yin took the form and read it carefully. There was quite a lot of content that needed to be filled in. In addition to the name of the fruit, the quantity that could be supplied, and the lowest acceptable price, there were also varieties, specifications, fertilizers applied during planting, and if it was chemical fertilizers, The brand and specific name of the fertilizer must be indicated.
In short, just like checking the household registration, the bidding fruit must be checked thoroughly.
According to her, if it’s such a hassle, it’s better not to participate. Wouldn’t it be cool to pick up tourist groups and sell them to fruit shops?
But Xu's father and Xu's mother felt that even if the price was set low, it would be a blessing to be able to choose one. Because with the title of "official designation", the road ahead will be much easier.
In other words, if this batch of cherries can be officially designated by the Tourism Expo, it will usher in its fruit winner.
Both parents want to participate, and the village chief feels that this year's cherry blossoms in the village, no one can compare with Xu Yin's family. If her family doesn't participate, the cards in Qianjin Village will instantly drop by several grades, and I'm afraid they may not be able to choose. superior.
"Okay, since you all want to participate, then participate! I don't care."
It’s not selling to anyone!
But as a result, the matter of receiving tourists will have to be moved back.
"Ah? Why?"
She posted a group announcement in the group, which immediately triggered a series of wails.
"I took annual leave specifically to pick cherries, but I was told that I can't pick cherries for the time being. Boss, you paid me wrong after all! Is the Tourism Expo important to us?"
"Boss, the Tourism Expo will only be open for 6 days. After those 6 days, can I still go to your house to pick cherries?"
"Speaking of the Tourism Expo, I suddenly thought that since the boss's cherries are supplied to the Tourism Expo, can we eat the boss's cherries when we go to the Tourism Expo?"
"Yes, but the price is hard to say."
"At least doubled."
"If the price increases two or three times, there will still be people buying it. There will always be an owner who is not short of money."
"Tsk! Forget it then."
Seeing that they were chatting animatedly, Xu Yin took the time to reply: "My family also planted watermelons this year, mountain watermelons. Believe me, they taste great!"
"watermelon!!!"
"Boss, I remember that you grew peaches, apricots, and pears in your yard, but they didn't taste very good. When did you grow watermelons?"
"I started planting this year."
She didn't say that all the peaches, apricots, and pears in her yard were grafted, and they tasted absolutely great. She was afraid that if she told these people, they would start picking fruits again at her house. There were only eighteen fruit trees in the side yard, and they would not be picked!
"Boss, can I reserve watermelon now?"
Xu Yin: "Okay."
Everyone simply accepted the call and made a reservation for Xu Yin’s mountain watermelon.
If you can't pick cherries, it's better to grab a watermelon to comfort your injured soul.
After appeasing the enthusiastic customers, Xu Yin immersed herself in filling out the form left by the village chief.
The tourism expo is such a gimmick that everyone who has contracted a cherry orchard is unwilling to participate, hoping that their cherries will be selected.
In the blink of an eye, it was May, the day before the deadline. The village chief collected the application forms. Attached to the form were photos of cherries. Nitrogen-filled crisper boxes contained the samples submitted by each company. After sending them up, they waited for the selection results to come out at the venue.
The villagers have been a little distracted from their work these days, hoping that their own cherries will win the bid. Even if they don't have a chance, it doesn't matter if someone from the same village wins the bid. When they introduce it to outsiders, they will say that it is Xiangcheng Qianjin Village, and everyone will be prosperous.
Wang Cuihua is very confident about her big cherries: “After receiving the notice, I asked Ming Fu to go to the city and buy a few bags of the most fertile organic fertilizer. This year’s cherries are bigger than in previous years. If you don’t, it would be unreasonable!”
Qi Hongbing's family was the same. He made a special trip to the fertilizer station and bought a few bags of the most expensive fertilizer.
If the top dressing is active, the cherries will grow well.
The more Qi's mother looked at it, the more curious she became. When Wang Cuihua said this, she nodded in agreement: "My family's appearance is not bad, I should be able to judge it."
While they were talking, a village cadre brought good news from the street first: "The cherries of our village have been selected! The official notice of the Tourism Expo has been issued. During the Tourism Expo, the cherries will be picked up from our village! The village chief will announce it shortly. Come back with a contract."
"Have you chosen all the cherries we sent?"
"That's not true. A total of five families have been cherry picked."
"Which five households are there? I don't know if there is one of ours."
"Give it! Give it!"
Wang Cuihua and Qi Mu struggled to squeeze into the crowd:
"Is there a wealthy Xu Ming family?"
"Is there any Qi Zhengjun family?"
"Xu Mingfu? Qi Zhengjun? No!" The village cadre shook his head, "The five households selected are Xu Mingkang, Xu Han, Sun Zhaobo, Ge Yitian, and Xu Weijun."
The crowd was in an uproar.
"The Mingkang family has been selected?"
"The village chief's family has also been selected?"
"My family has chosen it, hehe!"
"My family didn't choose, alas——"
The excitement of being chosen, the disappointment of not being chosen.
However, the disappointment was only for a short while. After thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel happy: "Then the fruits in our village will be able to bear the prefix of 'official designation of the Tourism Expo'?"
"Hahaha! There's a queue!"
Only Wang Cuihua and Qi’s mother cursed angrily:
"Is there something fishy? My cherries grow so well, how could I not have chosen them?"
"That's right! Why wasn't my family selected? I must give an explanation!"
The village cadre patted his forehead and said, "I remember! Did you two use the fertilizer they bought? Because there were too many bidders this time, the first screening criterion was fertilizer."
"What???" Qi's mother was shocked.
"Who stipulates it!" Wang Cuihua jumped up and down anxiously, "Although my family buys fertilizer, it is also organic fertilizer, which is much more expensive than ordinary fertilizer."
"Everyone uses organic fertilizer, but organic fertilizer can also be divided into good fertilizer and poor fertilizer. Fertilizer with strong fertility may not necessarily be good fertilizer! This is what the experts from Lu Heng Biology said." The village cadre frowned and said, "Experts also say that there are some A brand labeled organic fertilizer is actually mixed with chemical fertilizer. Is this the brand you two bought?"
"..."
"!!!"
