Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

When I arrived at Nanjiao Farm, I showed my introduction letter and work permit. The identity of the factory director was questioned. After all, no matter how small the factory is, it is still worthy of suspicion if the factory director is so young.

However, when they saw the motorcycle Chen Changan was riding, they let him go. They met Director Meng smoothly. Chen Changan quickly said, "Hello, Director Meng. I am Chen Changan from the Sijiucheng Honeycomb Coal Processing Factory."

Director Meng has received a call from Director Huang, who explained Chen Changan's identity and the purpose of his visit to him.

Director Meng also understood why Chen Changan came to see him. He didn't find anything. He said directly, "Director Huang told me everything about you. How much food do you plan to buy?"

Seeing Director Meng's businesslike expression, Chen Changan felt unsure.

After all, it was not easy to come here, and it was all thanks to Director Huang's relationship. If I come again next time, they may not give me face.

So Chen Changan was a little hesitant. If he said too much, he was afraid that people would refuse. Why did he buy so much food? Was he planning to resell it?

I bought too little. It was not easy for me to make such a trip, and I also had to rely on Director Huang's favor. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if the multi-tank in my cellar was not full?

I thought it would be better to ask for more than asking for too little, and then I could lower it if it doesn't work. If I ask for a hundred pounds and someone agrees right away, how would I feel comfortable asking for more?

Seeing Chen Changan's hesitant expression, Director Meng may have understood Chen Changan's concerns. In addition, Director Huang's relationship.

So he said, "I have some leftover grain, but not much. How about two thousand kilograms of corn flour and one thousand kilograms of white flour? What do you think?"

Chen Changan was so happy with just one sentence. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Director Meng, you have helped me a lot. Thank you so much."

Seeing Chen Changan's happy smile, Director Meng continued, "Director Huang also told me that it was thanks to your advice that he is now living a stable life.

You are so amazing. When I saw you today, I knew that you are a person who is willing to consider others. What I hate most is selfishness.

Just by looking at the way you hesitated when I asked you how much food you wanted to buy, I knew you were a good person.

If other people thought they had Director Huang’s connections, they would definitely ask for more.”

Chen Changan was also embarrassed, thinking to himself, I almost asked for a huge amount of money. Fortunately, I hesitated long enough, otherwise I would have become the person in Director Meng's mouth who asked for a huge amount of money by relying on his relationship with Director Huang.

Then Director Huang continued, "My Nanjiao Farm doesn't do anything else but grow some vegetables to supply the people in the city. Director Huang said you gave advice to many people. So, now that you've come to me and done your work, do you have any suggestions for my Ning Farm?"

Chen Changan felt embarrassed for a moment, as he had boasted too much in front of Uncle Xiao and Director Huang.

I know nothing about crops and can only distinguish a few types of vegetables.

In front of someone who has been like this all his life, he was exposed after just a few words.

People originally thought you were an expert, but after chatting with you for a few sentences, they realized that you don’t even have common sense. What would they think of you?

So Chen Changan said a little embarrassedly, "To be honest with you, Director Meng, I am only familiar with machinery and fishing. I don't know anything else.

Take this kind of land for example. I have lived in Beijing all my life and have never worked in the fields. There are many crops that I can’t even name in the vegetable market, and here in the fields, I am even more dumbfounded.

Isn't it embarrassing for me, a skilled swordsman, to give you advice? "

Hearing Chen Changan's compliments, Director Meng said proudly, "You are right. Not to mention someone like you who has never worked on the land, even an old farmer who has been farming for a lifetime may not be better than me.

But I heard that you claim to know 2,000 years in the past and 50 years in the future? If you don't have some real skills, you probably can't say such a thing, right?

Just treat me like Director Huang and give me some advice. I won’t say anything if you make a mistake, young people are allowed to make mistakes.”

Listening to Director Meng's words, thinking that this place supplies almost half of the vegetables in the city, thinking that we are about to enter the three-year natural disaster period.

Although Chen Changan knew that if he said too much, people would definitely become suspicious, he still felt that he needed to contribute something to the country.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Then I will show off my skills and say a few words in front of you?"

Director Meng looked at the cautious Chen Changan and did not expect Chen Changan to say anything constructive. He just thought Chen Changan was a nice person and chatted with him casually.

"Don't be afraid, just say whatever you think."

Chen Changan heard this and said, "Our north is incomparable to the south. The temperature there is high, the weather is warm, and they can easily have two harvests a year.

When winter comes in the north, it is really not easy to eat other vegetables except the cabbage stored in winter.

I make honeycomb coal. You should know that if I put a stove and a chimney in the room, the room will be warm.

So what if we build a house and a chimney for the vegetables in the field? If the temperature is higher, can we still grow vegetables? "

Director Meng was stunned by Chen Changan's words. What the hell is this? Building a house for vegetables? Am I stupid or are you stupid? How much does it cost to build a house? How much does it cost to buy vegetables?

Besides, who will build houses on hundreds of acres of land? What will they use?

Thinking about what he just said, Director Meng's mouth twitched and he said awkwardly, "Well, Changan, it's getting late, why don't we..."

Chen Changan knew that Director Meng had misunderstood him as soon as he saw his expression, so he continued, "Director Meng, you misunderstood me. I haven't finished yet. Please wait for me to finish. I won't let you build a house covering hundreds of acres of vegetable fields."

After hearing what Chen Changan said, Director Meng calmed down and listened carefully to what Chen Changan said next.

Chen Changan continued, "You know oil, right? It's the oil that can be made into gasoline when you drill a well underground."

Director Meng looked at Chen Changan as if he were a fool and said, "It's the new China now, and you still don't know?"

Chen Changan ignored Director Meng's attitude. Seeing that he knew, he continued, "In fact, petroleum can not only produce gasoline, but also a derivative product called plastic."

Seeing Director Meng listening carefully, Chen Changan continued, "This plastic can be made into almost any shape. When it is made as thin as paper, it is called plastic film.

It can be made into dozens or hundreds of meters long, with a film of the material, and pressed down on the ground with wooden stakes, or a frame made of wood or iron, and then covered with the film. Do you think this is considered building a house on the land?"
