The Sweetness of the Seventies

418

He Jingyu cleared his throat and said: "This peach bears fruit for three years. It has sweet juice, tender meat and high yield. When it first bears fruit, each tree is estimated to be able to produce forty kilograms, which is sixty or seventy peaches. It is expected to be available next year. Doubled, at the peak of maturity, it can reach 200 to 300 pounds, or even more.”

"These peaches taste good. They are the best peaches we have ever tasted. But as you know, peaches are not easy to preserve. If you pick them before they are ripe, it will affect the taste. But when they are ripe, the peaches will become soft and taste great. But it’s not easy to preserve!” Ma Zijian hit the nail on the head when he pointed out the key issue of peaches being difficult to preserve.

No matter how good the thing is, it’s useless if it can’t be transported!

He Jingyu smiled and said: "The hard peaches you just ate were just picked from the trees. Those soft peaches have been picked for ten days and will slowly become soft. It is roughly estimated that in a The peaches will not become soft within a week. As long as the roads are good and the packaging is done well to prevent the peaches from colliding with each other, there will be no problem in transporting them to all parts of the country. "

When everyone heard it, it could indeed be shipped to all parts of the country in just one week.

"Okay, okay, okay!" Ma Zijian said repeatedly, "What's the situation in Taoyuan now? Can you take us to see it?"

"Secretary Ma, it's time to eat now. Taoyuan is halfway up the mountain, a bit far away." Qi Dazhu said, "Let's go after dinner."

I was on the road early in the morning and I was really hungry.

"Okay, let's eat first and then go." Secretary Ma said, and then asked the office director to do the follow-up work.

The office director gave each of the city leaders half a catty of meal stamps and 50 cents on a per capita basis as cooking money.

Qi Dazhu declined, but after the director's repeated persuasion, he accepted.

At least with this money, I can make up for what I consumed at noon.

When Qi Shuliang saw Brother Dazhu talking to the leaders, he pulled He Jingyu to sit aside.

"Hello, foster brother, thank you for helping me take care of my mother." Qi Shuliang thanked him in a low voice. When he was chatting with his mother in the United States, he could often hear his mother talking about He Jingyu, and he knew that this person was a good person.

Qi Shuliang is very grateful to anyone who is kind to his mother.

He Jingyu smiled and said, "You're welcome, step brother. My step mother is also good to our family."

"There are so many people now, it's not convenient to talk. When we go back in the evening, we brothers can have a nice talk." Qi Shuliang said, there were so many people around, it was hard for them to keep talking quietly.

"Yes, let's talk about it when we get home." He Jingyu said, this step-brother is also a cheerful person, and the step-mother will have many happy days in the future!

The village branch only had one big table, and Zhao Dajiao received two tables from the villagers, which could accommodate three tables and more than twenty people.

At this time, although you can't entertain leaders casually, you don't have to pay much attention to it.

Rural people have come up with the best things, and everyone is very satisfied.

Two white-flour steamed buns per person, two meat and two vegetarian.

Because Secretary Ma was always thinking about Taoyuan, he ate quickly.

The leader was in such a hurry, but the others were not indifferent and hurriedly ate.

When Ma Zijian finished eating, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks.

After dinner, Ma Zijian looked at Qi Shuliang and said: "Mr. Qi, you have worked hard all the way, so go back and rest first. Comrade Qi will let us know when you have set a date for ancestor worship. At that time, we will remember Mr. Qi together. What do you think, sir?”

Secretary Ma said it tactfully, and everyone understood the implication.

Worshiping ancestors is not something you can just do casually. You have to choose a day. But now that the four old traditions have been broken, it can only be changed to a fixed day.

"Thank you for your hard work." Qi Shuliang said, "I'm okay, not very tired. I'll go with you to see what kind of environment can grow such delicious peaches."

This is not a secret. Ma Zijian readily agreed and said, "If Mr. Qi is not tired, then come with us to have a look. Mr. Qi has seen the world and will give us some advice."

"Don't dare, don't dare, ask me to do it!" Qi Shuliang said modestly. He grew up in China and did not go abroad until he was an adult, so he knows a little about domestic bureaucratic habits.

Although today's staff are cleaner than before, some of the thousands-year-old habits have not changed.

Although he was a distinguished guest of the authorities, he did not want to offend these officials arrogantly.

These people can't do anything to him, but there are still many folks here!

The group went to Taoyuan under the leadership of Qi Dazhu and He Jingyu.

Today's leaders are in good physical condition. Even if they climb halfway up the mountain, there will at most be a few who are short of breath and unable to walk or climb up.

Large, tender yellow peaches with pink blushes hang on the trees.

A fence has been erected around the peach orchard. The peaches are very energetic, and you can tell at a glance that they are well cared for.

A wooden house on the edge is integrated with the entire Taoyuan.

"Okay, in this way, you can increase your income a lot by using the mountainous land without occupying farmland." Ma Zijian said, looking at Niu Peng, Qi Dazhu was very pleased, "This time you Taoyuan County and Qijia Village have made contributions. "

"I don't dare to take it. It's all in response to the call of the city leaders." Niu Peng said, "We in Taoyuan County have many mountains and little land. We should change our thinking, accept the instructions of the leaders, and make some achievements to benefit the people."

"That's good." Secretary Ma said, "We have little land and the grain output is not high, so we can grow other crops and exchange them with the nearby grain-growing provinces. In this way, we can get a lot of grain!"

Everyone thought so in their hearts. Those who supported this work at the beginning all had a share of credit.

Looking around the peach orchard, Secretary Ma was very pleased.

Ma Niupeng is not an ordinary official. He thinks more about problems. Huai City has many mountains and little land, and the average grain yield is not high, so some people above hope that Huai City, Anhui Province, will make some changes.

Huai City accepted the task from the province and made achievements, which is his work achievement!

"Niu Zijian, Village Chief Qi, you will pick the peaches tomorrow and send them to the purchasing station in the county. Expert He, thank you for your hard work. Write a summary report so that we can send it to the province together."

"Yes, Leader Ma." Niu Peng said happily. He wanted to fight for a good price for Qijia Village and mention the road construction by the way.

He Jingyu also said: "I have written most of the report. I will send it with the peaches after it is finished today."

After writing the report, his work is mostly completed, and he can plant in large quantities next year.

Fortunately, he had foresight last year and had already raised seedlings. So far, they have become one-year-old peach seedlings.

"Thank you for your hard work, Expert He." Ma Zijian said, excited. Taking advantage of the popularity of Qi Shuliang's case, he could make another contribution and maybe he could go a step further.

"It's not hard. This is what I should do." He Jingyu said modestly.

The leaders walked around Taoyuan. It was already 2:30 in the afternoon. It was time to go down the mountain. They had to go back.

After sending these leaders away, only the people of Qijia Village were left.
