"Xiang Jin, you must come at noon tomorrow?" After self-study on Saturday night, Xiang Jin and his group were walking on the corridor going downstairs. When Liu Xiaobei from their class passed by them, he said to them again
She reminded with enthusiasm.
But when she saw Yan Fei and Yan Chen on the side, she also greeted, "Of course, if Yan Chen and Yan Fei are free then, they can come together, right?"
Both Yan Fei and Yan Chen were confused. Although Yan Chen didn't know what it was about, he wasn't interested in knowing. Instead, he refused bluntly, "Sorry, I'm not free!" At this point,
Then he turned his head and looked at Xiang Jin, "Aren't you scheduled to go to the county town to pick up a package at noon tomorrow?"
"Ah, yes," Xiang Jin naturally knew that he was looking for a reason for her to refuse, so she nodded in agreement, and then she said a little apologetically to Liu Xiaobei, "I'm sorry, tomorrow
I also had something to do at noon. A primary school student who was working outside mailed something to me, but she mailed it to another primary school of ours in the county, so I made an agreement with the other primary school to go to her place tomorrow weekend.
Pick."
After hearing this, Liu Xiaobei immediately felt embarrassed, but she couldn't show it in front of so many people, so she had to try hard to maintain a generous appearance, grinning as if she was embarrassed.
He waved his hand with concern, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Since you have something to do, you must be busy with your own affairs. I understand, I understand, I understand!"
Xiang Jin and the others nodded to her, then everyone gave up and walked away separately, quickly putting some distance between themselves and each other.
Xiang Jin and the others could not see what the other party's face would be like, but Lei Jia's face was full of contempt, "She is crazy about money and wants to invite everyone!"
After Yan Fei heard this, he immediately followed her words and asked, "Wait a minute, what's going on? She invited us but didn't explain clearly?"
Lei Jia said, "What do you mean? She has her birthday tomorrow, and she invites you to give her a gift. She informed Xiang Jin, and you are friends with Xiang Jin, so what does it matter if I tell you or not?"
” There was still a strong sense of sarcasm in his tone.
Yan Fei nodded, "That makes sense!" Then he said with a surprised look on his face, "She's celebrating her birthday tomorrow and she still wants to give her a gift?"
Lei Jia looked very angry and said, "No, several people in our dormitory said they wanted to give her gifts and some money to share with her. At first, we only invited a few people who were close to her.
, but then somehow she invited everyone in our entire dormitory, and then everyone in the two dormitories next to us."
Xiang Jin was a little surprised, "People from the two dormitories next door have also been invited. How many tables does she plan to set up?"
"Ah, isn't that it? Many people are complaining privately, saying that they are not in the same dormitory as her, and they don't know each other very well, but she has invited them all for her birthday. They are better
It was a bit embarrassing. It was neither a matter of saying that I wanted to go, nor a matter of not going. After all, we were all classmates in the same class, so we could not see each other without looking up. However, some people made it clear that they would not go.
At first, I thought it was okay for her to invite three or two friends for a meal to have fun on her birthday, but then she invited so many people, and I suddenly felt that her nature and thoughts were not that simple.
Money?"
Xiang Jin suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, "Even if she invites twenty people and each person gives her twenty yuan as a share, how many gifts can she receive and how much money can she make?"
Lei Jia said, "Twenty yuan for twenty people, that's four hundred yuan, which is quite a lot. If she invites others to eat in Teacher Chen's small restaurant, it only costs a hundred yuan at most."
The cost is 1 yuan, so she still has to earn two to three hundred yuan."
Xiang Jin smiled and said, "It's not necessarily that everyone will give her random money. Some people may give her gifts, so she won't make so much money."
Lei Jia said, "But she received a gift."
Xiang Jin thought to himself: The gifts they received and sent did not have much substantial value. At most, they were dolls such as rag dolls and woolen bears, or some that looked like a certain celebrity.
A poster, an armful of plastic or fabric flowers, something flashy like that.
Xiang Jin said, "Since you don't go to celebrate other people's birthdays, why do you have to look so indignant?"
Lei Jia said, "Yeah, I don't have any friendship with them, and I don't get along well with them in the dormitory. Why should I stick my hot face to someone else's cold ass? I don't have it."
What about losing your share?
Besides, my restaurant is so busy, how can I have time to celebrate someone else’s birthday? I have to go home and help! I just can’t stand it!”
Xiang Jin said, "You are a typical mediocre person!"
Lei Jia muttered, "I think so too!"
Then Yan Fei suddenly looked at Xiang Jindao, "Are you really going to the county town tomorrow?"
Xiang Jin said, "Of course," of course not, how could she go to the county town? She had nothing real to pick up in the county town, so it was just an excuse and excuse for her not to attend someone else's birthday.
Everyone went downstairs, walked together for a while, and then went their separate ways. Yan Fei's dormitory was on the other side, close to the boys' dormitory, so he went back directly, Lei Jia went back to the girls' dormitory, and Yan Fei went back to the girls' dormitory.
Chen sent Xiang Jin back first before going back to his dormitory as usual.
As the two of them were walking on the road, Yan Chen asked Xiang Jin, "Are you really planning to attend someone else's birthday tomorrow?"
Xiang Jin said, "How is that possible? My relationship with the girls in the dormitory is about the same as that between Lei Jia and them. No, it might be even worse. They don't like Lei Jia.
In fact, a large part of the reason is because Lei Jia and I have a good relationship. Strictly speaking, it was me who caused Lei Jia's problems.
Even Lei Jia thinks it's disrespectful to attend the other party's birthday, so how could I go? I won't go, but her invitation is her business, and whether I go or not is my business, so
I was too lazy to say no."
Yan Chen immediately smiled helplessly, "You are really lazy, you don't even want to talk to anyone."
Xiang Jin said, "It's cold, and talking consumes energy, not to mention I'm not familiar with them."
The subtext is that there is no need to talk to them.
"Then why did you explain so much to others just now?" Yan Chen asked again.
Xiang Jin said, "Isn't that just to cooperate with you? Besides, although I won't go to the other party's birthday, there is no need to reject the other party so harshly. I will always be happy to give others a chance.
It's down the steps, okay, I'm here, go back quickly."
"good!"
"Xiao Chen, can your grandparents' greenhouse vegetable growing techniques be taught to outsiders?" It was another weekend, Xiang Jin's parents and her aunt came to visit them, during which Xiang Jin's aunt suddenly asked
Yan Chen said.
Yan Chen replied without thinking, "Yes, many people who grow greenhouse vegetables in our yard learned from them."
Xiang Jin also added, "The two of us started growing vegetables in greenhouses in the provincial capital by having people come and learn from Grandpa Zeng."
"Oh, speaking of this, I admire you two little guys very much. You said you are so old, but you actually have such strategic vision and new thinking, as well as courage and courage, and you are actually in the provincial capital.
We also started growing vegetables in greenhouses. At first, when we heard about this from your grandparents, Xiaojin, your parents and I were absolutely shocked."
Xiang Jin said, "It doesn't matter. Since it can be grown in the countryside, why can't it be grown in the city? Food is the most important thing for the people. Everyone needs to eat vegetables even in winter. We are just one step ahead of others."
Xiang Jin and her parents were extremely satisfied after hearing her humble answer. They were not proud or complacent. Well, that's good! There were happy smiles on their faces.
Xiang Jin's aunt immediately winked at her father and said, "Brother, look what I'm saying. Uncle Zeng and Aunt Mo are not stingy, right?"
Xiang Jin's father didn't say a word, he just smiled with gentle eyes and a gentle and elegant look on his face.
Xiang Jin looked at her father and her aunt, "What do you mean? Who wants to quit their job to grow vegetables in the greenhouse?"
The smiles on Xiang Jin's parents' faces became even thicker, and her aunt burst into laughter. Then her aunt explained to them, "That's right, your dad wants to promote the cultivation of greenhouses throughout our city."
Vegetables, in order to boost the income level of our city’s people and improve their quality of life.”
Xiang Jin nodded and said, "Okay, this is a good thing!"
Her dad said, "Yes, this is just a preliminary idea, and the specific implementation needs to be discussed."
Yan Chen nodded, "Indeed, if it is only a small-scale planting, it will be fine, but if it is to be promoted throughout the city, then it should be carefully planned."
Xiang Jin's father looked at Yan Chen and nodded appreciatively, "Yes, if we want to boost the city's GDP and improve the economic and material level of the people in the city, then the variety of this product must first be richer and not too single.
, and it must also be divided into regional species
Planting to form large-scale planting, but to divide regional planting, we must first determine the acid-base neutralization of the soil in each region, so as to determine which soil is suitable for planting which agricultural products, and our government must also form a team
Dedicated external sales department.”
Xiang Jin and her grandparents all nodded, and Yan Chen suggested, "We can also plant fruits in some places and build some breeding bases for animal husbandry and fishery."
Xiang Jin said, "Yes, yes, the fruits in our place are too simple. In summer, there are only plums and pears, and some individual families only plant two peach trees. In autumn and winter, there are only a few."
Oranges and mandarins
There are also grapefruits, fruits like big cherries, grapes, apples, etc., let alone fruits like kiwis. The fruits I have eaten before are all from Yancheng Province
The city brought it to me."
Yan Chen said, "There are no kiwis or grapes in the provincial capital. They all come from other provinces."
Xiang Jin said, "Look, that's right, as well as the fish. All the things sold in the market here are grass carp and crucian carp. Otherwise, there are a few eels for sale in the summer.
Sometimes I can still encounter a few of those black fishes
, shrimps like that, and other types of freshwater fish we don’t have here. I was still discussing with Yan Chen that day that when we go on winter vacation, we will go to Miyun Reservoir again and buy some other fish there.
Come back to eat the fish and shrimp.”
Xiang Jin and her grandfather said, "Well, that's true. The variety of products here is indeed too single. If we really want to develop it, there is still a lot of potential development value. The less it is, the worse it will be.
It can be created."
Xiang Jin's father also nodded, "Well, since the fresh fruits and vegetables we brought back from here last time, I took them to the municipal government cafeteria and invited my colleagues to eat them, our municipal party committee leadership team has
We are starting to discuss this matter."
Speaking of this, there was some excitement in his eyes, "But the proposal made by the two children just now was very good. We only discussed the planting of vegetables before, but it did not involve fruits, animal husbandry and fishery.
Regarding the planting and breeding of the three industrial chains of animal husbandry, you have given us a good suggestion for expanding the industrial chain?"
Xiang Jin and her aunt Ouyang Xue looked at the two of them with eager eyes, "Oh, why are you two so smart? Brother, these two children are much more comprehensive and thoughtful than your leadership team.
Yes, I
Let me tell you that if you really develop in this direction, our city will definitely take on a completely new look, and people's living standards will definitely rise to several levels, and then our city's per capita GDP will rank high in the country."
Xiang Jin's father nodded with a smile on his face and said, "Well, I will convene a meeting with everyone when I get back, and then focus on discussing this matter."
Then he looked at Yan Chen and said, "When the results of the discussion are reached, we may go to your grandfather and the others to discuss it for a while. We may need their help in some technical matters."
Yan Chen nodded, "They may be good at growing vegetables, but they may not be good at breeding and planting fruit trees. You have to find someone else, because they are not good at this."
Xiang Jin's father nodded, "Understood!"
Following Xiang Jin, her mother asked, "I heard that you also grow fruits in greenhouses in the provincial capital?"
Xiang Jinjiu said, "We plant a few relatively simple things, such as strawberries, watermelons, and melons. As for the others, we don't plant them. Moreover, our watermelons and melons are mainly supplied to hot pot restaurants and some well-known restaurants."
Hotels and restaurants, as well as some government departments and military units, such as ordinary markets outside, do not supply it, because ordinary families are not allowed to eat cold watermelon after eating in the winter."
Of course, there is no need to tell them about things like selling outside the province. After all, what she told them was that they only rented a few acres of land in the provincial capital to grow vegetables in greenhouses. How much of her share,
Yan Chen occupies just a few acres of land. He grows fruits and vegetables, and sells them throughout the provincial capital. It is simply too high-yielding. To say too much is to raise suspicion.
, as the saying goes, the more you say, the more you will make mistakes.
Their family members all nodded, and then Xiang Jin's father asked, "Are you the only one growing vegetables in the greenhouse in the provincial capital?"
Xiang Jin looked at Yan Chen, "Is anyone else planting?"
Yan Chen said, "I haven't heard Uncle Tao say it, so he probably doesn't."
Xiang Jin nodded, and then her father added, "In that case, I have eaten the watermelons and melons grown by your family."
Xiang Jin and Yan Chen knew that he was referring to the time last year when he went to the provincial capital for a meeting and then asked a few people to go to a hot pot restaurant to eat hot pot. Then Xiang Jin smiled and asked, "How does it taste?"
?”
Her dad said, "It's very good, very sweet, and very crispy! It feels quite refreshing especially after eating hot pot!"
At that time, we were all surprised that we could still eat watermelon during this season, and then the waiter at the hot pot restaurant said that it was grown in their own land."
When he said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and then his mother-in-law looked at Yan Chen in surprise and said, "Xiao Chen, could it be that your family also opened a hot pot restaurant?"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room was surprised, and then the eyes of several elders all looked at him.
Yan Chen didn't hide anything, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's open!"
Then Xiang Jin's father reported the name of a hot pot restaurant, and Yan Chen nodded again, "Well, it belongs to our family!"
Then Xiang Jin's father said excitedly, "Oh, I didn't expect that the hot pot restaurant we entered before was actually owned by your family?"
Xiang Jin and her grandma nodded and said, "Yes, how big a fate do you think this is?"
Xiang Jin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and Yan Chen said, "When you go to the provincial capital in the future, you can go directly to our store to eat hot pot for free. You just need to report that you are Xiang Jin's family!"
Everyone was surprised again, and then they all looked at Xiang Jin. Xiang Jin was also surprised. He didn't expect that he would tell him, so he quickly said, "Oh, he means that hot pot restaurant."
The main person in charge is Uncle Tao, and Uncle Tao is very familiar with me. If you go, he will give you a free bill!"
Her explanation was reasonable and reasonable, and the family members did not have any doubts. They all understood and nodded. Then her father said, "That's not necessary. It's just that after we have settled the matter, can we?"
Send people to your greenhouse vegetable field to inspect and observe for a while, and then ask them to come back and learn some planting techniques?"
Yan Chen said, "Of course, you are welcome at any time!"
Then Xiang Jin's father was so excited, "Oh, that's great," he barely reached out to shake Yan Chen's hand. Xiang Jin's grandparents, her mother, and her aunts also
They are all so happy for her father and the city government!
After all, if this thing is done well, it will not only benefit the people, but also be a major political achievement for them, right? Yan Chen can support them, which will reduce their difficulties in future work.
It is not an exaggeration to say that we have taken many detours.
Yan Chen said, "It's okay, don't rush. Moreover, this is also a major trend in the development of agriculture in the future. It's just a matter of time."
Xiang Jin's father nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes! If the society wants to progress, the people want to be rich, and the country's economy needs to be developed, then the country must implement a diversified economic system. This is indeed an inevitable product.
Therefore, our city must hurry up, otherwise we will lose a lot of opportunities if we let others go to the front. To tell you the truth, I have thought about establishing special projects in several districts and counties near our urban area.
The door is used to grow agricultural products that are not suitable for preservation, such as mushrooms, green leaf vegetables, etc., because these products cannot be kept overnight at room temperature and without freezing. The transportation in the urban area is extensive, and you can go there by land.
It can also be transported by train, truck, or ship by waterway, and can also be transported to provincial capitals at the fastest speed and transported by air to provincial capital cities across the country."
Yan Chen said, "Very good!"
Xiang Jin also said jokingly, "Then your sales team must find those social elites to take charge, and it must be done quickly, otherwise when the common people grow things, the sales department will not be able to keep up.
When the agricultural products are unsaleable, you leaders will be the first to be scolded!"
Xiang Jin's father nodded and sighed, "That's right, so the next work will be more arduous and cumbersome, and every step must not be careless."
