Chapter 512: An Unrecognizable Old Place

"Before going back to school, stay with us for a few days, don't worry, I won't let you help us meet," the uncle said to Feng Yiping with a smile at the entrance of the village.

The distinguished guests came and went quickly, and the leaders at the city, county and town levels were seen off along the road, and uncle and grandfather were also going back.

These days the sun is very hot and the sun is very hot. There is not even a shower that can cool down the temperature. But for the noodle workshop, it is a good weather that can produce high yields.

In the past, for such a big event, grandpa would have stayed at least a few days longer, but now it is different, the roads are open, and there are cars, so it is very convenient to get up and down.

"I'm not afraid of work, as long as you don't think I'm making trouble." Holding noodles is also a technical job.

The meeting at home was still going on. Although the guests had left, the people in the yard were still there. Xiao Zhijie suggested, "Go, go to the place where you fought. I heard that you are good at herding cattle."

"Well, let's go to the mountains. Speaking of which, I haven't been to the mountains for several years,"

"Look, forget your roots," Wang Changning said.

Immediately, he was refuted, "You are not the same,"

It was only after this walk that I realized that the changes were really great.

The hill behind the old house is covered with thatch, wormwood, and shrubs. This is a scene Feng Yiping has never seen since he was a child. As far as I can remember, when has this hill not been bare? Those weeds have just sprouted, and they were either pushed by pigs or pecked by chickens. How could they grow so tall?

The mountain road that Feng Yiping used to take to go to his grandfather's house and junior high school was now covered by weeds because few people walked it. Standing on the hill and looking at it, the road is now only a thin line.

When they reached the small river, they all held a stick in their hands, which was pulled out from the fence of a family's vegetable garden. There are many insects.

"The changes are too great," Feng Yiping said standing by the river, holding a stick.

The small river in front of me and the small river in my impression have changed too much, how should I put it? He also seemed to be rejuvenated.

For example, wild celery is now flooding the narrow river beach, growing very well, with white stalks and green leaves, and a height of 50 to 60 centimeters.

Can celery be picked by this small river? How could this be possible a few years ago?

Not to mention wild vegetables, weeds didn’t even grow deep here before. When they grew a little, they were either eaten by cattle and sheep, or cut by people. Now the thatch grows lushly on the bank, with an average height of more than one meter. Xiao Zhijie hid it inside, so he wouldn't be able to see it easily.

Standing by the river for a while, you can see small shrimps and small fish with long thumbs swimming in it. This was impossible a few years ago. , along the small river back and forth, the fish and shrimp are basically extinct in the river, and even the small crabs walking sideways rarely escape.

After resting their feet by the shady river, they continued to walk up the mountain.

Although they haven't come to this mountain for several years, they still have basic skills. When they walked to the stone slope where Feng Yiping and his sister rolled down the pine trees, Xiao Zhijie, who sweated the most, picked up the cool mountain spring to wash his face, "It's comfortable! "

"Just by looking at it, you can see that you guys are really rich now," Wang Changning said.

The life in the village has gradually become richer, and the most direct change is that no one is willing to plant the fields on the nearby mountains, no matter whether they were reclaimed by themselves or distributed to households in the village. Return to the forest.

He looked around, and there was no trace of the few pieces of land that his family had worked so hard to open up. Back then, not only were the fields full of crops, but sorghum was also planted in the ditches. There is a piece of gourd planted, and when my mother returns home from the mountain at noon every day, she will pick a suitable one, cut it into small pieces and cook it, and then bake a wheat cake, which is the lunch of the whole family.

Xiao Zhijie threw the water on the two of them, "So those who clamor to protect the ecology and prevent soil erosion are all in the wrong direction. We only need to make farmers rich and stop them from asking these mountains for benefits, or I feel that it is not cost-effective to ask these mountains and these lands for benefits, and the ecology will naturally recover."

This makes sense. In fact, Feng Yiping watched some foreign scenery films, such as the British ones, and he couldn't figure it out. Such a large piece of land on both sides of the road should be left unused and long grass, what a waste! Can't it be opened to grow food, or fenced in to raise livestock?

Apart from their relatively small population, what Xiao Zhijie said should be the main reason.

For example, people working in the factory now earn a month's wages higher than those who worked hard to tend the crops for half a year in the fields on these mountains, so how could they spend so much energy on it? To plant these lands?

If it wasn't for the fact that the food he grew himself was safe to eat, and if the food factory didn't need raw materials, it is estimated that many of the fields near the village would be abandoned.

Feng Yuxuan was sweeping the ground in front of the door with a big broom, and fell in love with the celery they were holding in their hands, "Who grew this? It's so energetic, much better than the ones I bought at the farmer's market. "She ate a small piece of celery stalks raw, "It tastes so good, Mom, fry celery for me at night, did our family grow this?"

Mei Qiuping knew immediately at a glance, "Is this seed still used? It should be picked by the river."

"Ah? Really! Hehe, let's cut it tomorrow. Such a good celery can definitely be sold at a good price when used as a side dish in a noodle shop,"

"Sister Yuxuan, don't you know that the fields by the river are rarely planted now, and there will be no pesticide or chemical fertilizer residue in the river water. This is absolutely pollution-free, pure organic wild celery, you must take it It sells meat for a price," Xiao Zhijie said.

There was a lot of noise at lunch, and there was actually a lot of dinner, but Mei Qiuping was not very happy.

"Look at you, the fish and the meat don't move, but you just grab that one. Haven't you had enough after eating it for several years? What's so delicious about it?" Mei Qiuping looked at the three of them and picked up the meat A plate of fried pickled cowpeas with pickled peppers was grilled, and he laughed and cursed.

"Aunt, it's still the same for dinner," Xiao Zhijie said.

"You can't just eat that." Mei Qiuping gave him fish and meat with serving chopsticks, "It's still your parents who are capable. Your family lived well when you were young, so you look so good, you Look at Changning and Yiping, they still haven't gained weight."

Xiao Zhijie looked at Feng Yiping and Wang Changning, those two guys immediately straightened their waists flirtatiously, like a jade tree facing the wind, he said with a bitter face, "Auntie, I really want to be as thin as the two of them,"

"You still have to eat less, this is too much salt," Feng Zhenchang was still drinking his cup of small wine slowly, looking at the three young men with a smile.

"That's right, experts have said that eating too much pickled vegetables can cause cancer," Feng Yuxuan echoed, but she didn't touch the fish and meat on the table, and only ate wild celery picked by the river.

However, my sister sometimes talks, but she doesn't use her head too much. Sure enough, Dad immediately educated her.

"You, you, why are you still ignorant?" Hearing what his daughter said, Feng Zhenchang was a little unhappy. The current food factory sells all kinds of small pickles very well, and they have all gone abroad. Can he make it through?

"Is the pickle that the experts said is our kind?"

"Yes, Dad, we eat this kind of food very well, especially when we sweat a lot in summer and need to add salt, don't be angry, I'm just following what Mom said, Mom, you led me into the ditch again went,"

Feng Yiping secretly laughed, my sister's ability to adapt has grown!

It was Wang Changning who was kind enough to help change the subject, "Uncle, this new house is really well built,"

These words hit Feng Zhenchang's itchy spot, "Well, you have been to the villa in Yiping's capital too, it's not worse than his place, right?"

"Better than him," said the two at once.

"It's more lively than his," Xiao Zhijie said.

"It has a more lively atmosphere than his," Wang Changning said.

"In short, it's better than his. We saw it and wanted to remodel our house into something like this,"

The words of the two sycophants made Feng Zhenchang come to talk, "This matter is really not that simple. It can't be built if you have money. Our house type is designed by experts from the province. There are also these roads next to it, and The various pipelines below have been scientifically planned by experts. If the village cadres are not effective, these things are really difficult to handle. To put it bluntly, our village should be the first in the rural areas of the province to have water and sewage. "

Feng Zhenchang couldn't talk more about his feelings quietly. The people from Sato Trading Co., Ltd. will come tomorrow, and the two directors of the food factory and the tea factory are a little worried. Now come to the house to confirm tomorrow's reception arrangements.

"Hasn't the preparations for the reception already been in place? Don't be too nervous, just treat it as an ordinary customer." Feng Zhenchang now also has a sense of self-discipline.

"We need to have confidence in our products. Our current output sometimes can't even be supplied to our own convenience stores, so they should be nervous,"

Feng Yiping could tell that it was the first time for the two of them to deal with foreigners, and they had no idea.

"Relax, food factories and tea factories usually have high requirements in all aspects. As long as they are the same as usual, there will be no problems. You have to think about it. If our products are not good and attractive to them, they will Traveling all the way for a field trip?"

"Yes, but this is the first time the factory has received foreign businessmen, and they are earning dollars. We are afraid that something will go wrong tomorrow,"

"Whether foreign or domestic, our product quality, our production requirements, who is as good as you? Who has higher requirements than you? You all think it's no problem, how can there be any problems?" Two thirty or forty This year-old guy actually wants Feng Yiping, a young man, to give them confidence repeatedly.

"Also, regarding the living arrangements, we thought, can we arrange that room into a Japanese-style tatami mat?"

Since Sato came here, of course, he couldn't just take a quick look and leave. He had to stay at least one night. There were no hotels in the town. If he went back to the county, it would take four or five hours to go back and forth, which was unrealistic.

So Feng Zhenchang arranged for someone to tidy up a few rooms in the office building and furnish them as bedrooms. The furniture is new, the bedding is new, and the electrical appliances are also new. If the price given to Sato was not bad, he would not have bought it. So much effort.

"No need, that's fine. If we went to Japan for inspection, they wouldn't change the tatami into a bed. Well, don't think about it," Feng Yiping sent them out, "Nothing will happen, Go back and have a good rest, and wait for them to investigate before placing a big order!"
