[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

The queen invited Zhao Changqing and his heirs to have dinner at Buckingham Palace. As the granddaughter of Shen Tuisi, Shen Shanzeng naturally has no chance. Although she is also very curious about Buckingham Palace, she can only learn about Buckingham Palace through TV and those documentaries .Of course, the place where she watched these documentaries was not the cinema outside, but the private cinema in the mansion.The high-definition of the film photography tape guaranteed an excellent viewing experience, but the high price made Shen Shanzeng feel cowardly.

Once again, Shen Shan clearly felt the gap between himself and his uncle, aunt and aunt.

It was also this cowardice that made her curious about the two cousins' trip to Buckingham Palace - she couldn't believe that what the Duke and Queen said in Buckingham Palace, the British royal palace, turned out to be such an ordinary thing as farming!

Because of this, she couldn't hold back, and had a conflict with Shen Yong and Shen Fu, accusing Shen Yong and Shen Fu of lying.

My mother is far away in my hometown, and my father is working overtime every day these days. It seems that he is on official business, and there are people from the uncle's family in front of him, and from the uncle to the aunt to the sister-in-law, it is obvious that these grown-ups don't believe what I say, and Shen Shanzeng's eyes are faintly flickering. The joy of living made Shen Yong and Shen Fu feel so wronged that they wanted to cry.

After all, they are just children, far away in a foreign country, unfamiliar with the place of life, and they have been accused of lying for no reason, but they don't know how to explain it. How can they not feel wronged?

The butler, John Holden Jr., immediately noticed something was wrong. He appeared at the door silently with the excellent qualities of a British butler, and said to everyone in the living room: "In this case, Miss Mary and the young masters will go to ask the Duke Alright?" He has already asked the driver to prepare the car, ready to start at any time.

Mary is Shin Sunzeng's English name.

Before Mrs. Shen spoke, Yang Huiru couldn't help but speak first: "Ask the Duke? But, is it convenient? I mean, it's not convenient to go without being invited?"

In the UK, you can only go to other people's homes when you are invited, even between father and son. Yang Huiru already knows this kind of etiquette and tradition.

So, hearing what the housekeeper said, her first reaction was, this should be very bad, right?Shen Yong and Shen Fu are not the grandsons of the Duke of Great Britain.

Little John Holden said with a smile: "If Master Yong and Master Fu can visit Rose Manor, I think the Duke will be very happy no matter what time it is."

Shen Yong and Shen Fu immediately remembered, yes, they still have a witness!Although their father Shen Yannian is not around, they still have their grandfather.

Shen Yong and Shen Fu said: "Uncle John, can you help us prepare the car?"

"Of course. My pleasure, sir."

Shen Yong said to Shen Shan again: "Shan girl, do you want to come?"

Shen Shan raised his neck: "Of course."

After the three children had left, Mrs. Shen asked the housekeeper, "John, how likely is it that the Duke and Her Majesty the Queen talked about farming during the dinner?"

"Very tall. Ma'am." John said with the standard demeanor of an English butler, "England is the countryside, and the countryside is England."

The other half, Charlie Claude, the housekeeper of Rose Manor, notified Zhao Changqing immediately after receiving the call. Zhao Changqing immediately stopped the work in hand, and signaled to the secretarial assistants who were typing that today's work ended here, and then brought The butler came to the door to welcome the arrival of the two little grandchildren.

Shen Yong and Shen Fu threw themselves into Zhao Changqing's arms almost as soon as they got out of the car, and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, tell Shan Zeng that we didn't lie, what you told the Queen at the dinner party was that you are a farmer. thing."

Zhao Changqing smiled and said, "That's right, except for the queen expressing her thanks for helping Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret, the rest of the time we are discussing farming."

"How is it possible? Shouldn't the queen care about national affairs?"

"This is England." Seeing that Shen Shanzeng still looked unbelievable, Zhao Changqing said with a smile: "Didn't I say it? England is the countryside, and the countryside is England. You should have seen it in the documentary, in that beautiful palace. Behind it is a large garden covering an area of ​​[-] hectares, this garden is the queen's royal garden, known as another jewel in the queen's crown."

"So, you discuss farming..."

Because he couldn't believe it, Shen Shanzeng's voice became erratic.

"Yes, Her Majesty and I are discussing what kind of fertilizer is better to use in the garden." Zhao Changqing took Shen Yong and Shen Fu's hand, then motioned for Shen Shan to follow, and said: "Of course, I suggest that the Queen should not use chemical fertilizer. "

Shen Shanzeng was taken aback, and immediately raised his head: "No fertilizer?"

The Shen family did not ignore Shin Sunzeng's education just because Shin Shanzeng was a daughter. Therefore, Shin Shanzeng, who is only 12 years old this year, is very aware of the role of chemical fertilizers in agriculture.

In Shen Shanzeng's mind, the use of chemical fertilizers is a necessity and a guarantee for a good harvest.

But, without fertilizer?

Zhao Changqing said with a smile: "Yes, this is different. Britain and other western countries have long since emerged from the shadow of the war, and have resumed production. In other words, for the current British, they have solved the problem of eating and drinking. The problem of being full, began to pay attention to how to eat well."

Shen Shan was shocked.

In China, the three-year difficult period has just passed, and the shadow of hunger still hangs over people's heads. All supplies are rationed. Even Shen Shanzeng still remembers those days vividly.

She remembers very clearly that during those days, her parents even sold her father's beloved pocket watch so that she could have a bowl of noodles on her birthday.

Shen Shan has always remembered that bowl of noodles, and she has always believed that the domestic media promotes the liberation of the working class exploited by capitalists in the Western world.

But now?

Since the days on the boat, Shen Shan has doubted his life more than once-the Chinese people are starving in this period, but what about the exploited working class that was promised abroad?Living in a garden house, eating bread, driving a car, every household, TV and telephone.

This is the West.

Zhao Changqing saw right away that this poor girl was suffering from the collapse of her world view, not to mention that she was only 12 years old, unlike Shen Yong and Shen Fu, her world view had not yet been fully established.

Sitting down on the couch in the large study room on the first floor, on the coffee table in the middle, there are all kinds of snacks. After Zhao Changqing and the three children took their favorite snacks, they said: "Actually, not only the United Kingdom, but also the United States. Also, of course, the United States became the number one power in the world after World War II, so they noticed this problem earlier."

After saying that, Zhao Changqing paused and frowned, which naturally attracted the attention of the three children.

Shen Shan once said, "Excuse me, what's the problem?"

Zhao Changqing said: "Yannian is not here, and I don't know whether the soilless cultivation techniques he brought back have been put into use."

Shen Shan once said in a low voice: "This, I think, I know."

"you know?"

"Yes, once, I heard my parents say in private that the country uses the soilless cultivation technology passed down from the Soviet Union, not my uncle's."

Zhao Changqing sighed and said, "So that's the case, then I know."

Shen Shanzeng immediately raised his head: "You know?"

Zhao Changqing said: "The one I asked Yannian to bring back to China is naturally the most comprehensive. And in that document, there is a special taboo chapter."

"Taboo?"

"Yes. It's just using various hormones to make fruits and vegetables produce larger fruits in a shorter period of time. Ordinary tomatoes, under normal circumstances, will only grow to the size of a woman's fist, but the tomatoes that use hormones , one can grow to half a catty."

Shen Shan once exclaimed: "One is half a catty?"

"Yes. This can be clearly seen in the American market. The tomatoes with hormones are big and beautiful, and the price is very cheap. But the organic fruits and vegetables on the other side are not only small in size, ugly in color, but also expensive. Even for a typical family of three, with the same diet, eating organic food means hundreds of dollars in extra expenses every month."

"how come?"

Shen Shan was stunned.

Although she was young, she still knew what hundreds of dollars meant.That may be thousands of |RMB|coins!How much money do Chinese workers earn every year now!The total income of their family may not be enough for one thousand a year!

Zhao Changqing nodded, and said: "Long-term consumption of foods ripened by hormones will damage people's health. Not only will people look obese, but it will also induce cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, in the United States, obesity has become synonymous with poverty. "

"Is obesity synonymous with poverty?"

Shen Shan was dumbfounded.

"That's right." Zhao Changqing said: "It is because of the widespread use of chemical fertilizers and hormones in agriculture that the organic concept is becoming more and more popular. Moreover, it has rapidly spread from the scope of food to planting. Naturally, manor management in the UK has also emerged. Organic mode. What I discussed with the Queen at the Buckingham Palace dinner before is the issue of fertilizers for organic farming. Compared with chemical fertilizers, the Queen prefers natural organic fertilizers after fermenting horse manure in her stables and fallen leaves and dead branches of plants , that would make her garden healthier."
