On this day, for the first time since the opening of the "Wenjun Hotel", all farmhouses were occupied by personnel from agricultural products-related companies.
Many of these people know each other, but because they are competing peers, they usually dislike each other.
But now that they have a common enemy in Li Wenjun, they suddenly become familiar with each other.
Because "Northern Agriculture" is the key project of "Northern Group" for at least the next ten years, Chi Zhanwang attaches great importance to it, so he came this time.
Also coming with him was Xu Zhan, who had been severely punished by Li Wenjun.
They checked in, and after dinner, they planned to talk to the guy from the "Zhongyuan Farm Reclamation" next door.
Calculate that apart from Li Wenjun, this family is the only one that can rival them.
When they came out of their farmhouse, they happened to meet a large group of ducks returning to their nests, quacking and swaying past them.
The slow-tempered ones will take a few steps and look around, while the impatient ones will flap their wings and fly forward to "overtake".
It’s exactly the same scene as 20 years ago when workers poured out of steel mills, textile factories and other major factories on bicycles when they got off work.
Although Xu Zhan and Chi Zhanwang were both from good backgrounds, their parents sent them to the countryside to exercise when they were young. At that time, they only felt dirty and tired.
After so many years, seeing this scene again suddenly felt like my heart was hit, and I stood there stunned.
After all the ducks had passed and the duck driver passed by with his hands behind his back, smiling, the two of them came back to their senses.
Chi Wang smiled: "Has Comrade Xu Zhan ever gone to the mountains or countryside?"
Xu Zhan: "Well, I went to northern Shaanxi and helped fellow villagers herd sheep every day. I herded all the sheep in a village. There were hundreds of them. Every mountain top was covered with sheep."
Chi Zhanwang: "I also herd sheep, but I went to Xinjiang. That grassland is really beautiful..."
It sounds like it's right in front of you, but also as far away as if you've seen it in a dream.
They continued walking that way as they spoke.
I thought the road in front of the farmhouse would be dirty, but it turned out that it was hardened and made of specially selected materials with good water permeability.
Even the bottom of the irrigation ditch next to it is paved with cement cobblestones. The roads, fields and ditches are filled with lavender, galsang, sunflowers, various colorful flowers, as well as mint, lemongrass and other flowers that will emit fragrance. plant.
Xu Zhan said: "When I went to the countryside of Neon Country before, I thought it was strange why their countryside could be so clean and why we couldn't do it. Now that I'm here, I discovered that we can actually do it too."
Chi Zhanwang said: "Yeah. I think so. So, what are we missing? Is it that we are missing such a large piece of good land?"
I heard that in order to develop this place, Li Wenjun even took huge risks to build highways and railways. It's a bit crazy.
Xu Zhan smiled bitterly: "Mr. Dissatisfaction Chi said that I have been here when it was still a ravine where birds did not lay eggs. There is really nothing special about this land."
At that time, he and Lu Weiguo had been studying for a long time, and they also wanted to understand the reason why Li Wenjun had to spend so much energy to transform this small mine and the impoverished county next to it.
Is it because there are jade mines?
But someone as smart as Li Wenjun would not be unaware of the uncertainty and unsustainability of jade veins.
So if it's just for the jade mine, it's not worth the effort to transform this place.
Is that for the people here?
But with Li Wenjun's ability, it would not be a problem to move his whole family, and even his close friends, to any economically developed area in the country, even to a port city.
So why?
There is also the matter of "transformation".
They thought that Li Wenjun would expand the "Wenjun New City" infinitely, annexing the surrounding countryside to demolish and build factories.
However, Li Wenjun took great pains to retain the basic appearance and vegetation of the mountains, rivers and farmland. Even the factory buildings and sewage treatment stations strived to integrate into the environment. This is far more expensive and time-consuming than simply pushing them all away. Building a factory requires much more cost and time.
Chi Zhanwang said: "Yes, I also think that it would be better to build a modern city like this in the northern plains than in this mountain ravine."
With that said, he had already arrived at the building next door.
Chi Zhanzhan saw the sweet-scented osmanthus planted in the yard of the building where they lived.
Mandarin oranges are planted in this yard.
Orange fruits were hanging all over the branches, making the whole tree bend down.
Sitting on a wicker chair under the tree, you can reach out and pick oranges without getting up.
Chi Zhanwang smiled: "Li Wenjun is quite good at pulling off stunts."
Planting a fruit tree in the yard makes a huge difference to people's feelings.
One is a home and the other is just a hotel.
People from other farmhouses had already come over and sat in the courtyard, eating oranges and throwing orange peels all over the floor while talking.
Seeing Chi Zhanzhan and the others coming, they all stood up to say hello.
"Hey, Mr. Chi, Mr. Xu, come and sit down."
"This orange is so sweet and juicy. Come and try one."
Chi Zhanwang curled his lips secretly: Generally speaking, fruit trees used for landscaping are good-looking but taste very bad.
Besides, it’s still a rotten and cheap orange.
You are all engaged in agriculture, are you so excited?
People who have never seen the world.
Give it a try and see what excites you.
After he sat down, he raised his head and picked one. While peeling it, he asked the others: "What do you think we should do tomorrow?"
Someone said, "I'm going to focus on their fruit trees."
Another said: "I want to see the chicken pen. I just want to know what the chickens he raises that are not sick look like."
Another said: "I want to see a pig farm. It's impossible to raise pigs without smelling bad!!"
Chi Zhanwang smiled: "Okay, then let's specialize in each other's professions. We must hit his weaknesses."
He peeled the orange and stuffed a segment into his mouth, then froze.
It's juicy and full of fruity flavor. It's nine percent sweet and one percent sour, but it's more refreshing and real than pure sweetness.
There are no seeds yet, it melts in your mouth, and the skin is easy to peel.
This unscientific! !
He looked at the orange in his hand.
All citrus fruits such as oranges and pomeloes are derived from the crosses of three Rutaceae plants: pomelo, orange and citron.
A cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine creates the orange.
Then the grapefruit and orange were crossed to create the grapefruit. The lemon was born from the cross of orange and citron. Oranges and tangerines were crossed to get tangerines.
Because the plants obtained after crossing can only be biased towards this parent plant or that parent, although it can have one or two advantages, it will inevitably have the disadvantages of the parents.
If there is a special variety, it is the navel orange, a special citrus variety produced by genetic mutation.
But even so, navel oranges still have the disadvantage of being difficult to peel.
So, how did Li Wenjun manage to have such advantages in an ordinary-looking orange tree?
