this man is not calm

Chapter 167
Jin Shang still can't adapt to the hot and humid climate in the south, and the local mosquitoes are nuisance, and the croaking of cicadas and frogs in summer makes people feel a little irritated.

Fortunately, after late at night, I still fell asleep in a daze. When I opened my eyes again, I was awakened by the chirping of sparrows outside the window.

Jin Shang, who is used to getting up early, went for a morning jog at the playground of a nearby primary school after taking a shower at Li Leping's suggestion.

Many families in the small town have dogs, and most of them are particularly fierce ones. Jin Shang, a foreigner, is running nearby, and he is afraid that there will be a large group of fierce dogs chasing and biting his buttocks.

There are not many open squares in this place. Generally speaking, elementary schools are not open to the public. Now that it is a holiday, there are many elderly grandparents nearby who are exercising.

Some people were still very curious about Jin Shang, an unfamiliar face, and from time to time someone came up to chat with him.

Listening to the half-familiar mandarin and the dialect mixed with strange slang, Jin Shang reluctantly coped with it.

People from the capital, friends of the granddaughter of the old Li family, came back from a trip, and visited family members by the way. Such keywords fell into the ears of the folks in the village, and I don’t know how many inexplicable rumors will be born.

By the time the sun was up, Li Leping had gone to a nearby vegetable market to buy breakfast when he got home.

The local breakfast tasted a bit heavy. The hot dry noodles with a strong sesame paste smell, the greasy bean curd, and the fishy eggnog were a bit embarrassing for Jin Shang.

However, after taking a few mouthfuls and slowly digesting it, the aftertaste revealed a strange flavor.

"How is it? Most outsiders can't get used to it for the first time. Try it a few more times. It's pretty good."

"I'm used to it, I think it's okay!"

"That's good. In fact, the flavor of Hubei cuisine is quite mixed. It is heavily influenced by Sichuan and Hunan. It has no outstanding characteristics and reputation. The locals don't care, as long as it is delicious!"

Li Leping patted Jin Shang's shoulder with a smile,

"Of course, it's not all special products. I'll cook you a pot of lotus seed soup, lotus root slices, and a few large crucian carp for lunch..."

The most famous local dish is the fish noodle, but it is a pity that this dish is not available all the time, and there is no time to make it in a while.

They are all local home-cooked dishes, and the taste is said to be very good. Li Xuan occasionally mentioned the taste of her hometown.

I don't feel like living here for a long time, but I miss it very much after being away from home for a long time.

"I see that your family has been rooted here for many years. Except that the house is a little bigger and the car is more luxurious. If you don't look at the owned fields outside, you really can't tell that you are a small local tyrant."

"Really? The economy has improved in the past few years, and everyone is actually doing well. It is definitely not enough to guard a few acres of land and rely on the sky. When you are young, a lot of people go out to work, earn money, and send it back to subsidize their families. The days are red." It's booming. Although my family is rich, others don't have any special demands on our family, so naturally there won't be so many quarrels..."

"The sea is open to all rivers, tolerance is greatness, a wall stands thousands of feet high, no desire is strong! People are as tall as others..."

"Yes, that's the truth! The folks in the village, counting up to 200 years, are all close relatives, so there is no need to care so much. What's more, our family is not the only family with relatively rich savings. Some young people who are more aggressive, go to Working hard in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Guangdong, and Guangxi, I opened a small factory and made a lot of money. Hard work is hard work, and the money I earn may not be less than our ten thousand mu of fertile land..."

"It is!"

Jin Shang nodded knowingly.

Jin Shang understands the difference caused by the difference between workers and peasants and scissors better than this happy little old man in front of him.

A small-scale family-owned workshop with stable workers, no worries about sales, and a lot of money.

Industry lays the foundation and can pass on the wealth of future generations.

Arita, Li Leping's family is already invincible.

The old and the young chatted for a long time, and Jin Shang asked curiously:
"Where's Aunt Cao? I haven't seen her today..."

"There is an agricultural product promotion meeting in the county, let's go see if we can open up some sales."

"Is it hard to sell?"

"It's not too difficult, but the price is not satisfactory. Don't sell it. It's even more difficult to sell if it gets moldy. You can't use so much grain, oil and non-staple food. In the end, you have to vacate warehouses to prepare for new grain..."

"Sounds like extravagant troubles!"

The problem mentioned by Li Leping is not that the output has been oversupplied, but that it is caused by local imbalances. The current infrastructure construction has not reached that stage, and the cost of intermediate links is too high, which makes the phenomenon of supply and demand dislocation more serious.

Whoever can solve this problem with lower cost and higher efficiency will be able to dominate the economic order in the next 30 to [-] years.

"Internet!What a love-hate thing! 』

If you hitch a ride, it will be a fast-moving and unfavorable result.

If he fails to catch up and is abandoned by the times, the ending will be miserable.

After talking about some anecdotes nearby, Li Leping looked upstairs and said with some displeasure:
"It's so late, Xuanxuan hasn't woken up yet. When I get home, I feel relaxed and sleep late until noon."

"In the capital, it's the same when I'm not working. I'm used to it."

"That's not good! I'm young, and I don't know why I sleep so much. Xiao Jin is very good. She goes to bed early and gets up early, and knows how to control her life."

"You've started your own business! If you don't set an example, the grassroots team will collapse long ago!"

Jinxi Culture has been able to make it to where it is today, thanks to the help of Lao Jin and a relatively rich family background, and the blessing of "Gold Finger" cannot be ignored.

These days, there are really not many who can spend millions of dollars to let half-year-olds who have just graduated practice their own businesses.

With Mei Yingnian's abundant capital, she was also so cautious in raising her eldest son, so she didn't dare to let him carry too heavy a burden.

"I don't understand what you young people are playing. It's just that you have to keep in mind that no matter how high you fly, if you can't implement it, it will be a dream and it won't last long."

"Thank you for the warning!"

"Xiao Jin is not bad, he knows how to choose."

Li Leping doesn't have too many faults of being a good teacher. After a few words, he doesn't go deeper.

"It's not too hot in the morning, so you can go around the neighborhood. I'll wake up Xuanxuan and ask her to take you around. There are no great places of interest in the area, except for one that has been restored many times. According to legend The palace of a certain king of Chu and the Weishui Wetland Park are also quite cool, and the museum should be open today."

Li Leping went upstairs while talking, and ten minutes later, under the scolding of the old man, Li Xuan went downstairs wearing slippers and sleepy.

"It's only a little past nine o'clock, and today is Saturday!"

It's clear that I'm home, but I still can't sleep in comfortably. My girlfriend wakes up very angry.

"Blame me, go wash up, wake up, take advantage of the time, go shopping nearby, I haven't seen what a serious farm looks like before?"

Li Xuan's farm and aunt's ranch do similar things, but it's not quite big.

Not long after, Jin Shang chose a less aggressive car in the basement of Li's house, and drove Li Xuan on the cement road in the countryside.

I also visited the place Li Leping mentioned. The so-called Chu Palace is almost a relic, and there is nothing to explore. The wetland park has not undergone much development, and there are not many tourists. The cool breeze is a bit pleasant; as for the local museum, it is only at the county level, and one can imagine how many collections it can have.

"Developing tourism resources is a long way to go!"

On the way, Jin Shang said to Li Xuan,

"There are actually a lot of good mountains and rivers here. It's not that they don't have potential, but that they don't have fame and investment..."

To be honest, Jin Shang feels that the natural scenery here is better than that in the west of Beijing, and the artificial gardens are after all inferior to the uncanny workmanship of nature.

However, if there is no money to develop, it is also flawed.

It can't even attract people from the province, let alone the popularity of other provinces.

"After all, it is a relatively poor agricultural county."

Li Xuan responded very naturally,

"What good mountains and rivers are, that is something that everyone considers after they are rich. This is already considered good. It is more difficult to go west. We have just seen the west of Hubei. Apart from developing tourism resources, there is really no way to think about it." There's nothing to focus on."

One side raises one person.

At least, the land under his feet has a relatively good agricultural foundation, convenient transportation, and going out to work is also very smooth.

"You know these years, when the villagers have money, what is the first thing they do?"

"Tell me?"

"The primary and secondary schools in the village were rebuilt! Everyone is not stupid. Education should be done first, and the children will be knowledgeable, so as to ensure the prosperity of future generations. If not, how can I be admitted to Beijing Normal University? High school is also ranked first in the province..."

Farming, studying and inheriting the family, and developing a business and learning are both correct. If these two are stable, then consider other things.

It has to be said that although the villagers are simple, it does not mean that they are without wisdom.

but……

"Here, it's still not very representative. In most places in the country, it can't be compared. Let alone universities, it would be good to ensure that a few children can successfully complete junior high school."

Jin Shang still has a clear understanding of this point, and will not regard this place as a typical rural village.

Near noon, the two went home to have lunch, and went to Li Xuan's family's farm to have a look.

It is completely different from the imagined prairie pastoral. This is a place located in a small ravine. The chickens and ducks are kept in cages, the cattle and sheep are tied up, and the pigs are fed in the cubicles of the four-story building. .

"That's it? Once the epidemic breaks out, wouldn't a lot of people die?"

"This is a farm, not a ranch!"

Li Xuan said naturally,
"If it's really stocking, how big is the place? It may not be enough to use all the land in the county."

"You can only feed with silage, that's what a farm is like!"

Just in time, when it was time for feeding, Jin Shang saw a row of strange machines feeding in front of chicken and duck cages, and the pig farm began to flush water and clean the cubicles.

Suddenly, an unpleasant smell spread.

When they came in, Jin Shang and Li Xuan went through two or three disinfection procedures at the gate, and cooperated with the inspection by the breeding workers in white coats inside.

In the huge septic tank and composting plant, Jin Shang also saw a huge machine moving slowly, injecting water or strange liquids into it.

The fermentation temperature inside is very high, and the additional water vapor is lingering in the clouds, throwing all kinds of unpleasant smells into the air.

"Understood? This thing should not be placed near the place where human beings live. It is simply a biochemical weapon to kill off children and grandchildren."

Jin Shang, who was wearing a filter mask, felt so smoked that he burst into tears. If he really approached so unsuspectingly, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would be stinked to death.

In the breeding farm of Li Xuan's family, Jin Shang has already seen a variety of strange semi-automatic machines, and various monitoring and laboratory are busy, constantly monitoring the changes of various data inside.

Not only farms, plantations and orchards, non-staple food processing, but also many machines involved in automation operations.

It is not uncommon for industry to feed back agriculture and animal husbandry.

"The degree of automation is quite high?"

"Of course, now relying on pure human cultivation, I'm afraid it's not even the money for fertilizers, seeds and pesticides. A percentage change in the oil output in the soybean workshop is the difference between loss and profit, the quality of silage, and the fluctuation of feed prices , If the control is not good, the market that originally made a lot of money can also lose a lot.”

This is just a county-level farm and ranch. I dare not imagine the exaggerated scale of a real giant in the industry.

"This thing, use it well, it is a strategic weapon!"

Jin Shang said with emotion, and finally came to the milk factory and fresh milk processing center.

According to what Li Xuan said, mechanized milking and automatic processing devices can already be used here. However, out of practical considerations, a certain scale of manpower is still maintained.

Machines are not as flexible as humans.

Cows are too delicate, and if something goes wrong, the loss will be huge.

I looked at the surrounding industries, only the winery on the edge of the county town was far away, but I didn't go to see it.

According to Li Xuan, wine making is not a high-tech thing, but mainly depends on raw materials, water, temperature and craftsmanship, and the control of experienced master chefs.

There are pros and cons to this thing, but overall there is nothing to say.

After finishing the visit and satisfying Jin Shang's thirst for knowledge, the two returned home, and it was almost dinner time.

After a busy day, Cao Heng returned home and bought some local specialties, including the fish noodles that Jin Shang hadn't eaten yet.

"The local fish is indeed... very delicious, and it is also very delicious when made into pastries."

Jin Shang said in admiration,
"There are many chefs in the capital, but I don't know why the local fish can't cook the taste here. And, how should I put it, the coastal areas, especially Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Bohai Rim area may be caused by water quality problems. I always feel that there is a strange smell The greasy smell..."

"Is it caused by industrial pollution!"

Li Leping guessed,

"Some people have done similar research before. The more developed the economy, the more industrial the place, the more serious the damage to water and land resources. Some things are inevitable. In the process of economic development, there is always a price to pay."

"So, there will still be a market for authentic delicacies in the future."

Now the domestic economy is not yet developed, and it is not time to pay attention to it. When everyone has some spare money, it is natural to consider improving the quality of life. Consumption upgrades are inevitable.
