Zhang Shengli originally thought that Huang Long would come to his door, but he didn't know that after waiting for so long, there was no news at all.
If the other party is not in a hurry, he will naturally not be in a hurry either.
The weather has turned cooler at this time, but Shanlong Villa is still as spring-like. Not only that, the fruits here have always been hanging brightly on the trees, with no sign of falling off.
Yuelong Villa is a bit lively today.
Unlike usual, a group of foreign media suddenly arrived, including chef Pierce.
"Hi, Boss Zhang!"
When Zhang Shengli heard the noise and came to the entrance of the village, Pierce's familiar voice suddenly came.
Zhang Shengli was dumbfounded. Looking at everything in front of him, he always felt a bit old-fashioned.
A banner was held by two people and hung directly on the fence at the entrance of the village. A banner was held by Pierce as he walked towards the fairy garden.
A group of reporters were following Pierce, who were constantly filming and interviewing.
Headache!
Zhang Shengli couldn't say he was opposed to Pierce's approach, but he felt an indescribable weirdness.
A foreigner pulled up a banner and sent out a banner. No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Zhang Shengli walking over, Pierce quickly stepped forward and held Zhang Shengli's hand.
"I won the first prize. According to the tradition of your country, I come here to express my gratitude."
Zhang Shengli was a little confused and said, "Then what's going on with these reporters?"
"Oh, they are here for an interview. You don't know that in the competition, the ingredients of Yuelong Villa stole the show. I won the first prize entirely because of you."
At this time, many tourists and villagers came over to watch.
"Hello, are you the owner of Yuelong Villa, Mr. Zhang Shengli? We would like to do an exclusive interview with you, but do you have time?"
"Can I ask about the specific planting details of Yuelong Villa? Is there any professional guidance?"
"Hello, we are reporters from Global Daily. Do you have any thoughts about Mr. Pierce's award?"
………
Zhang Shengli was annoyed when he saw all these reporters turning their cameras on him, but he couldn't get angry and could only smile.
One answer? Absolutely impossible.
There are so many questions. If I had to answer them one by one, I would probably not be able to answer them all tomorrow.
Fortunately, Xie Fugui came to the rescue for him at this time.
With Xie Fugui's social skills, it is quite natural to deal with this.
He first summoned these reporters to the village committee, and then directly held a press conference.
Zhang Shengli did not get relief from this, he was forced to participate by Xie Fugui.
Facing so many media cameras and listening to these people asking questions one by one, Zhang Shengli's head was as big as an ox.
"Actually, we can summarize everyone's problems. They are nothing more than problems with our vegetables and fruits."
"You must have noticed when you came in that our village has a special geographical environment, and the soil quality and water resources here are different from other places."
"So, the crops grown in our village are naturally better than others. Of course, this is not entirely the reason. We also have a professional team."
"You must have done some research before coming here. I graduated from an agricultural university and have some research on crops..."
Just like that, Zhang Shengli started a long speech.
Regardless of whether he is good or bad, let's talk nonsense first, and then directly leave the topic to Xie Fugui.
"This is the person in charge of our village. If you have any questions, you can ask him."
These were Zhang Shengli's exact words. After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving only Xie Fugui and Tang Rou on the stage with a wry smile.
"You, come here!"
When he walked out of the village committee and saw Pierce with a silly smile on his face, Zhang Shengli waved to him.
"Why are you still carrying this? Take it off and follow me to the fairy garden."
Looking at the red banner Pierce was wearing, Zhang Shengli felt dizzy and pulled it off.
"Let's make an agreement first. Show off your craftsmanship today. I'm going to hold a big banquet in the whole village to celebrate you. Is there any problem?"
"No, there is no problem!"
Pierce was very excited. For him, let alone celebrating himself, even if Zhang Shengli didn't say so, he would agree that this is the best way to be grateful.
"Okay, if there is a shortage of manpower, I will arrange it here. In addition, I will ask Boss Lin to help. Today we will have a Chinese and Western food gathering."
"Boss Lin is coming too?" Pierce was very excited.
But when the two of them arrived at the fairy garden, they were blocked by a reporter.
"Hello, Boss Zhang, can I do an exclusive interview for you?"
Zhang Shengli was dumbfounded.
Aren’t the reporters all dragged to the village committee? Where did this one come from?
Although I am confused in my heart, I still have to do my best on the surface.
"Of course, let's go in first and take a look around."
In this way, helpless Zhang Shengli led Pierce and reporters into the fairy garden.
"This is your research base? It doesn't look like it."
Zhang Shengli smiled bitterly and said, "That's right. Did you see that RV? It's where we usually study."
"Just this small place?"
"Don't underestimate this RV. It has all the tools you need. Okay, let's not talk about the research area. You can try our fruits first."
As he spoke, Zhang Shengli picked a bunch of grapes and handed them to the reporter.
"Oh my god, it's incredible. It's already autumn, and I can actually see grapes here."
As he said that, the reporter started taking pictures everywhere.
"Peach, this is my first time seeing such a big peach."
"And apples and pears, my God, and this, what is this called? These fruits actually grow in the same season, and they are all hanging on the trees."
Zhang Shengli looked at this reporter who was only taking pictures of the surrounding fruit trees and completely forgot about interviewing himself, and for a while he began to feel proud.
After making himself a cup of tea, Zhang Shengli did not forget to promote his own tea.
"Well, come here and have a cup of tea first. This is our unique tea at Yuelong Villa and cannot be bought elsewhere."
How could any reporter who heard this resist this temptation?
"You don't sell to outsiders?"
"It is only sold internally for the time being." Zhang Shengli laughed and explained: "There is only such a small area in the village, and there is only one hilltop where tea trees are grown. If we sell it to the outside world, we will not be able to supply it."
The reporter came to the stone table and sat down, holding the microphone in his hand. Pierce didn't understand tea, so he sat aside and kept smiling. The photographer kept pointing the camera at the three of them.
"Good tea! This tea must be expensive, right?"
"It's not very expensive. It's sold in our village on the street by the river. That's our only sales channel."
"Then I have to take some back with me when I leave."
The reporter is very talkative and shrewd, otherwise he would not have directly followed Zhang Shengli in this situation, instead of being tricked into attending a reception at the village committee.
"We are going to have a flowing banquet here in the afternoon. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay and taste it."
"Flowing water banquet?"
"It's just to celebrate Pierce winning the grand prize. When the time comes, we will invite the most famous chef here to have a cultural fusion of Chinese and Western food."
"So you know Mr. Pierce well?"
"This is our second meeting!" Zhang Shengli laughed.
