The Pentium Era - South to North

The next day, Zhang Xiangbei, Xiaowu, Guo Chenglai, and Xiang Yiyun drove to Pingluo County below Shizuishan City.

When Zhang Xiangbei and Xiao Wu went downstairs, they saw Xiang Yiyun standing at the front desk, chatting with the waiter at the front desk. Guo Chenglai was still sitting on the sofa, leaning sideways, watching Xiang Yiyun chatting with the waiter. He also Unknown to him, this little girl standing at the front desk chatting is already his colleague.

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiao Wu saw that Xiang Yiyun was dressed completely differently today. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail. She was wearing a pair of jeans underneath and a blue plaid cotton and linen shirt on top. It's a pair of canvas sneakers, a straw hat and a backpack in his hand. He is ready to go to the countryside.

Zhang Xiangbei and the others will go downstairs for a few days starting from today and will not return to the hotel at night. When Xiang Yiyun saw them, he asked if they wanted to check out?

Zhang Xiangbei said yes.

Xiang Yiyun took the room card from Zhang Xiangbei and Xiao Wu, turned around and said to the front desk clerk: "My boss, help me cancel it."

The waiter at the front desk didn't even call the waiter upstairs to inform the waiter upstairs to check the room, but just checked out their room. It seemed that although Xiang Yiyun had no longer been the supervisor here, his prestige and popularity were still there.

Guo Chenglai saw Zhang Xiangbei and the others coming downstairs and came over. Xiao Wu helped them introduce each other. Only then did Guo Chenglai realize that the girl he had been staring at for so long was his new colleague. Naturally, he felt extremely sad. Happy.

The four of them walked to the parking lot, and Zhang Xiangbei asked, "Which of you can drive?"

Guo Chenglai shook his head and said to Evian: "I can."

"Then you drive." Zhang Xiangbei said, saying yes to Evian.

Xiao Wu gave the car keys to Xiang Yiyun and went to the back row to sit with Guo Chenglai.

Xiang Evian started the car, left the Kempinski parking lot, and drove towards Pingluo County.

Pingluo County is bounded by the Yellow River to the east and Helan Mountain to the west. After climbing over Helan Mountain, you will reach Alxa Left Banner in Inner Mongolia.

Guo Chenglai was very familiar with Pingluo. As soon as the car drove out of the gate of Kempinski and turned onto Ping'an Street, he told Zhang Xiangbei and Xiaowu that there was a state-owned Qianjin Farm in Pingluo, where there was a large area of ​​vegetable cultivation. But we don't have to go.

"Why?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"The vegetable base in Ningxia cannot be compared with Shandong and Henan. The area is not as large as theirs, but the vegetables in Ningxia are of high quality and are very popular in the market. The vegetables produced by the larger vegetable cooperatives in Ningxia are all supplied to the Hong Kong market. The entire Ningxia , there seem to be nearly fifty vegetable bases supplying Hong Kong.

"The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has awarded the title of 'Reputable Farm' to 37 vegetable bases supplying Hong Kong vegetables across the country, of which 10 are in Ningxia alone, and this is the Qianjin Farm." Guo Chenglai told them.

Zhang Xiangbei and the others have known that Ningxia's vegetables are of good quality, but they did not expect that there are so many vegetable companies supplying Hong Kong vegetables here. It seems that there will be competition in procurement.

"Mr. Zhang, I have a suggestion." Guo Cheng said.

Zhang Xiangbei said yes, you say.

"One advantage of Ningxia is that it has a relatively small population, so there is more arable land per capita. One person seems to have more than three acres..."

"so much?"

Xiao Wu interrupted Guo Chenglai's words. In their hometown, when the land was allocated to households, he and his younger brothers and sisters still had their household registrations at home. Together with his parents, the family of five was allocated more than three acres of land. There are so many for one person here.

"Yes, so one advantage here in Ningxia is that there are a lot of family farms. Some of these family farms are the land owned by brothers and sisters in the family. Some go out to work, some stay at home to grow vegetables, and some are from the same village. For those who work and sublease their land, we will contact these family farms. If there are dozens of family farms connected, it will be the same."

Zhang Xiangbei thought Guo Chenglai's idea was a good one, and he said yes, we will do as you say.

Guo Chenglai told Xiang Yiyun the address and said we should go here first.

The road from Yinchuan to Pingluo County is not far, only more than an hour. At noon, they arrived at the small town where Guo Chenglai came. Zhang Xiangbei and Xiang Yiyun said, let’s find a place to stay first, and go here in the afternoon. Stroll around several family farms nearby.

The town is not big, with only one main street. Guo Cheng said, go to the Holiday Inn. The best hotel here is the Holiday Inn on the street.

Xiang Eyun drove the car to the entrance of the Holiday Inn. This was a four-story house facing the street. It should have been renovated from the original house of some unit. The hotel's foyer was very small, and the main entrance was the street.

Zhang Xiangbei and the others asked for four rooms on the third floor, which cost fifty yuan each. Zhang Xiangbei asked the landlady at the cashier:

"Is there a restaurant?"

The landlady looked at him and said, "There is a restaurant, but no one is eating here. If you want to eat with our family, you can also eat out. There are restaurants on the streets, and there is food available in the middle of the night."

Zhang Xiangbei laughed and said okay, let's go out to eat.

There was no elevator in the hotel, so they took the stairs to the third floor and entered the room. The furnishings in the room were very simple, but fortunately, it looked relatively clean.

Zhang Xiangbei put his luggage away and went to the bathroom to wash his face. There was a knock on the door. Zhang Xiangbei opened the door. Guo Chenglai and Xiang Yiyun were standing at the door.

"Mr. Zhang, take all your valuables with you and don't leave them in the room." Guo Cheng said.

"What?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"There are many gentlemen in the hotels here." Guo Cheng said.

"No, I don't have any valuables." Zhang Xiangbei smiled.

Guo Chenglai asked curiously: "You are such a big boss, but you don't have any valuables?"

"There really isn't anything. Apart from bank cards and mobile phones, there's nothing valuable." Zhang Xiangbei said, "I don't usually have anything, and since we've been running around outside this time, there's even less."

Xiang Yiyun walked into Zhang Xiangbei's room and walked around. She patted Zhang Xiangbei's trolley box and said, "This box costs more than 8,000 yuan."

Then he looked at Zhang Xiangbei's T-shirt spread out on the bed and said, "This piece of clothing costs more than 4,000 yuan."

He turned to look at Zhang Xiangbei's backpack on the table and said, "This bag costs more than sixteen thousand."

Guo Chenglai was dumbfounded and shouted: "Mr. Zhang, you still said there are no valuables, but your room is full of valuables."

Xiang Yiyun rolled her eyes at him and said, "Childish, our money is different from other people's money."

Guo Chenglai nodded repeatedly: "That makes sense."

Zhang Xiangbei spread his hands: "What should I do? I can't go to someone else's farm with my trolley suitcase, right?"

"Let's go, let's go, it's okay, the gentlemen here are ignorant, they won't want your things." Xiang Yiyun said.

Walking in front of Zhang Xiangbei, she reached out and patted Zhang Xiangbei's wrist, and said to him, "I noticed this yesterday. Your watch costs 860,000 yuan."

Guo Chenglai said "Ah", and Zhang Xiangbei scratched his head and said, "So expensive? I don't even know it. My aunt gave it to me."

Xiang Yiyun looked at Guo Chenglai: "Goodbye, we don't have such an aunt."

The three people walked out of the room, and Xiao Wu also walked out of his room. The four of them went downstairs and walked to the street. Zhang Xiangbei said to go to the mutton restaurant next door, and pointed to the noodle restaurant diagonally opposite to Eyun and said:

"Let's have noodles for lunch, and then we can go do some errands. If you want to eat mutton, we can eat it when we come back in the evening. Pingluo's hand-caught mutton is good."

The four of them walked into the noodle shop across the street and ordered four bowls of noodles. The owner of the noodle shop was very honest, and the noodles had already piled up with minced meat.

After eating the noodles, they set off. They visited several family farms in the afternoon. Everywhere they went, Zhang Xiangbei and Xiao Wu deliberately avoided it, letting Xiang Yiyun and Guo Cheng come and talk to them while the two of them observed from the side. , it can also be regarded as an assessment.

Soon, it became Xiang Evian who was in charge of the conversation, with Guo Chenglai assisting on the side. Although Guo Chenglai used to be a keel collector, and it was commonplace to discuss business with people, he was still a foreigner after all. It was not as good as Xiang Evian, who could talk to Evian in just a few words. She hooked up with the other party and started a routine.

Even more so when she was in the vegetable field or greenhouse. She was very familiar with the farm work in the vegetable field. When others were busy, she would work with them and chat while working. The relationship between the two parties soon became closer. At the beginning, At that time, Xiang Yiyun also wanted to help with the work, and even shocked the other party. They couldn't believe that this fair and beautiful city girl could do farm work.

Everyone watched her with fun and curiosity. Unexpectedly, once she got started, she turned out to be an expert. Everyone was surprised, and then they started to like her.

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiao Wu didn't expect that this girl was really surprising in every way. It seemed that what she told them yesterday didn't add any fuel to the fire. She couldn't pretend whether she was good at work or not.

She was really a hard-working child who had to help grow vegetables at home since she was a child, and had to carry a load of vegetables to sell when she went to school. She was not as delicate as she seemed on the surface.

He told Evian and these family farms that he wanted to establish a relationship with them. From now on, all their dishes would be underwritten by their company. They all agreed, but they were a little hesitant, as if they had something they couldn't say. Zhang Xiangbei and Xiao Wu Xin thought, maybe people are dissatisfied with them, and the checks they are issuing now are all empty promises, so they should be suspicious of them.

It gets dark late in Ningxia. It was around eight o'clock in the evening and it was still not dark outside. On the way back, they saw a farmer cutting vegetables on the roadside. Xiang Evian parked the car on the roadside. , and said to them:

"You guys wait for me here, I'll ask them for a phone number and talk to them."

As she said this, she got out of the car and walked into the vegetable field. While they were cutting vegetables, she was helping to tie the vegetables into bundles. Zhang Xiangbei knew that tying vegetables was not a simple job. , the straws used to tie the vegetables are all tied with slip knots. If they are not tied well, they will fall apart. If they are tied too tightly, the vegetables will be damaged. Looking at Evian's deftness, she is well versed in this.

After helping with the work for more than ten minutes, Xiang Yiyun came back. She was soaked with sweat. When she got back to the car, she immediately took out the notebook in her bag and wrote down the name of the other party, the area of ​​the farm, and the vegetables. She already knew the varieties, contact numbers, etc.
