City People [Rebirth]

Zhuangjiagou Village is on the edge of the national road.Before there was a national road, this was a mountain top, and the villagers lived behind the mountain. If they wanted to build a village, they had to climb over the mountain. The mountain is not big, and it takes half an hour to travel, but this determines that vehicles cannot enter and leave the village. Whether the villagers go out to work , or shopping, a lot of time is wasted on the road, and because the mountains are all hills, it is inconvenient to plant large areas, and it is also not convenient to promote agricultural mechanization.

When Lanzhou City reset the traffic routes, Zhuangjiagou Village was given priority for development because it was a poor village, and was included in the national highway plan. After the terraced fields and convenient transportation, the villagers started the development of ecological agriculture under the guidance of the poverty alleviation team. They also contracted a barren hill behind the village and planted fruit trees.

The bumpy van stopped outside the village. Lu Jia's face remained motionless, but Shang Weidong's face was pale. He barely held the door of the car as he got out of the car, so disgusted that he couldn't speak.

The driver was a man in his 40s, with the simplicity and honesty that men in crop fields often have. Seeing this, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment, and said to Shang Weidong: "This car belongs to our collective, and there is a better sedan chair. Something went wrong for a few days and I dare not go on the road, are you okay?"

Shang Weidong waved his hands, took a few deep breaths, and stood up straight: "I'm fine, the air here is pretty good, I'll be fine after a while."

Shang Weidong found a rock to sit on, while Lu Jia looked at the village.Although it is located near the national highway, the village is still some distance away from the national highway, so it will not be affected by noise and exhaust.The air here is very fresh, and the ground is already glowing with greenery. Lu Jia suddenly realized that spring is here.

Looking at the entrance of the village, you can see rows of traditional green brick and tile houses, which are half-new and not old, and you don't see the multi-storey small buildings that usually appear in rich rural areas, which is not in line with the status quo of poverty alleviation.Now the first thing many rural people do to get rich is to build a house first, which is also the result of traditional thinking.

Although the driver is simple and honest, his observation skills are really good. Perhaps this is why he can come out to pick up people.When he saw Lu Jia looking at those houses, he sighed: "Mr. Lu, you are strange about our house. Our village is different from other villages. We rely on the government to help the poverty alleviation group get rich. Oh, that day The people in the first batch of working groups are all amazing, they are all cultural people, all of them are polite, hey, Mr. Lu, is that an adjective?"

Lu Jia hummed.

The driver chuckled: "Don't laugh at me, I learned this word from my son. Anyway, although they seem to be educated people, they have really good hands-on skills. We didn't accept it at first. We thought We have spent most of our lives in the crops, and they can understand better than us, but they guide and guide us, as long as we listen, we can see the real harvest, which is really amazing.

I heard from them that they all went to university, and there is no master's or doctor's degree.Although the houses in our village are not good, in fact they were even worse before. Many houses are made of mud tiles, but our village has become rich little by little under the leadership of others. We really understand that knowledge is destiny, so we Some people in the village have saved money, no matter boys or girls, it is used for them to study and go to college. "

Compared with their feelings, Lu Jia couldn't help feeling ashamed.I didn't go to university in my previous life, but in this life it seems like I didn't go to university.Although Lu Jia has already completed all the courses of the university by himself, and usually covers a wide range of subjects, but in the eyes of people who don't know, he may be a guy who doesn't know much.Lu Jia selectively forgot the fact that he was No.1 in every exam in school.

Thinking about it this way, the slap in the face of an ignorant dandy who has created a large foundation is even more interesting. Lu Jia slapped his mouth, and really wanted to act in a counterattack scene.

Shang Weidong came over to take a rest, the white color faded from his face, and the group continued to move forward, going directly to the farmer's cooperative in the village.

The cooperative is in the center of the village.This is a row of bungalows. Although they are not small buildings, they have red bricks and white walls and a big iron gate. They are not small buildings, but they are also the most magnificent houses in the village.

"The one-story house next to it is our village committee, haha, because the cooperative has given us enough to eat and have spare money, so the village has unanimously decided to repair the house of the cooperative better, so that customers can come to us. nice."

The driver introduced, leading Lu Jia and Shang Weidong into the office, and then backed out.The young man wearing glasses in the office quickly stood up and walked towards Lu Jia, shaking hands with him enthusiastically.

This young man is Zhuang Yan, who was the stall owner at the promotion meeting. Don't look at him as a young man who has only graduated from an agricultural university for three years, but he is very capable. After the poverty alleviation team quit Zhuangjiagou Village, it was him. Temporary management position, so that the brother cooperatives can pass through the handover smoothly.

Zhuang Yan and Lu Jia only chatted for a while, and then took Lu Jia to their production base to see.

There is also a way to go to the production base.The road in the field was difficult, Zhuang Yan took them on a tractor with a big bucket, and it started rumbling. Lu Jia felt that it was strange, so he couldn't help standing up and looking around.Now this kind of tractor can't be used on the road for a long time, that is to say, it can be driven in the countryside. It is really bumpy on the uneven road. To Lu Jia, it is like an amusement park.

This made Shang Weidong suffer.Shang Weidong stayed in the kitchen all day and seldom went out. The most strenuous exercise he did every day was when he swung a knife in the kitchen, and he basically didn't go out. At this moment, his complexion became pale again, and his hands tightly held the car railing , closed his eyes tightly, for fear that he would spit it out in the next moment.

Zhuang Yan knew that Lu Jia was a straightforward person, so he didn't gossip, and what he said was full of plain and objective data, so that people like Lu Jia and Shang Weidong who didn't understand agriculture could understand.

After bumping like this for a while, Lu Jia saw a field with green plants that he couldn't recognize, and the breeze was blowing, which was very comfortable.

After the group got off the tractor, Zhuang Yan led them around.

"The land of our production base is really good. When the Xiuguo Road blew up the mountain blocking the entrance of our village, the poverty alleviation team got in touch and asked the construction party to blow up the land behind us. After the bombing, it was much flatter. , we plowed it again, and fertilized the land with plant ash, so that we can grow it easily, and the land is also fertile. Now this season we mainly focus on raising seedlings and sowing, and most of the vegetables and fruits are still in the greenhouse Here, let’s go to the shed later to have a look.”

The fields are ridge after ridge, and different vegetables are interplanted.Zhuang Yan was familiar with the number of treasures and introduced these vegetables to them.

"This is lettuce. They bought it back and said that it is the best for salads. The celery is cooked in batches, and the celery leaves are also delicious when fried. The tomatoes are still a bit astringent, but they are still quite sweet."

With that said, Zhuang Yan picked three tomatoes, took out a wet towel and wiped them, and handed them over.

Lu Jia took it and looked at it in his hand.These tomatoes are still small, not as red as they are in the ripe season, but half red and half green. The juice flowed into the mouth together, Lu Jia almost choked, and the taste was obviously not too sour, but after chewing a few mouthfuls, there was a sweetness, not strong, faintly visible in the sourness, but tempting to pursue.

Zhuang Yan led them to identify several kinds of vegetables, many of which had just sprouted from the ground, and they didn't often mess around in the ground, so they really knew how to recognize jokes.

Next, Zhuang Yan took the two of them to the greenhouse.The greenhouses are built on terraced fields, which is why there are too many terraced fields here, and it has to follow the terrain.Lu Jia looked at them one by one, and felt that the most rare thing was that even the out-of-season vegetables in the shed were juicy. Lu Jia also saw early-batch strawberries, some of which were early ripening, really big and sweet.

Lu Jia was very satisfied with this family, but he didn't nod hastily. Afterwards, he went to several agricultural and sideline product bases, but in the end, he still felt that the Brother Farmers' Cooperative was the best.

The quality of the products of this cooperative is indeed high, and it is indeed dedicated to high-end supermarkets. Even though the poverty alleviation group has retreated, the government background behind it is still there, but Lu Jia thinks that the most important thing is that the attitude of the villagers in Zhuangjiagou was deeply moved. He, they don't squander money when they have money, but continue to pursue knowledge, and there will be better development in the future.

Lu Jia went to Zhuangjiagou Village again and signed a contract with the cooperative, agreeing on the quantity and types of catering that the Brother Farmers Cooperative would supply to Jijia, and signed a pre-agreement on large quantities of food when the hungry eaters opened branches in batches.

In two days, people from Shanghe Cold Chain Logistics will also come to sign a transportation contract with the cooperative, and all the goods that Lu Jia needs will be transported by Shanghe.

After Lu Jia and Shang Weidong returned to the hotel, Shang Weidong asked: "Boss, when did we cooperate with that cold chain transportation? I heard from them that Shanghe Cold Chain is very famous here."

"I need you to see what I do."

Lu Jia dodged lightly.This Shang Weidong is just too curious.

Shang Weidong immediately understood that he asked too many questions, he was just a chef.

In the agricultural and sideline product base, Lu Jia not only signed contracts with the Brother Farmers Cooperative, but also signed other types of contracts with another base.There is no way to divide the ingredients in the supply store into mid-range and high-end. Of course, Lu Jia wants to be good in everything, but he has to think more.

After that, Lu Jia and Shang Weidong went to several fungus breeding bases and livestock breeding bases, compared them one by one, and signed the contract with the satisfactory ones. Similarly, Lu Jia also signed a pre-agreement and also entrusted Shanghe Cold Chain for transport.Sure enough, the first government-organized promotion meeting for high-quality farm products with purchasing advantages was strictly censored. It’s hard to say what will happen in the future, but the people who can come in this time are all worthy of the name.
