Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 143 Yu Sanyuan is not simple
Beijing.

Since when, a number of vegetable stores have emerged near various compounds and official residences.

Although these shops are small in size, they have everything they need.

Not only can it be used as a residence, it also has a TV and a radio, as well as refrigerated display cabinets like those in large supermarkets, as well as freezers, a small chopper, and a manual stuffing machine.

In addition, the products in the display cabinets are all placed in fresh-keeping boxes, marked with brand, retail price, production date, and expiration date, with the main focus on freshness, low price and completeness.

Most of the shop owners are old men and women who speak with a Luxi accent or a Southwestern Shandong accent.

They open the door at 5 a.m. every day and sit at the door waiting for the box truck to restock.

After the goods arrive, they don't need to do anything. The fat and strong driver first goes into the store to count the sales volume, then checks the payment, then personally replenishes the goods and drives to the next store.

After officially opening for business, they are only responsible for the cashier, including the goods ordered by phone, which are also picked up and delivered by professional deliverymen wearing yellow vests.

However, the old ladies don't just sit at the door and watch the store until the evening.

Some of them would weave some handicrafts and give them to disobedient babies for free.

Some will cut some paper products, frame them and give them away for free to customers who regularly buy groceries.

Some people would cook some tea eggs, make some dumplings, and pickle various pickles, and give them to their neighbors for free to try.

I have become so familiar with the cadres recently that I even help look after the children of ordinary cadres who finish school early.

In general, although the courtyards and official residences are deserted and lack a human touch, these shops are like a safe haven in the cold winter, making many customers feel warm.

As a result, the business of the "small shop" is becoming more and more popular, and there are more and more of them.

Then they expanded to include a fruit store, a grocery store, a meat store...

Of course, with more than 2,000 similar stores suddenly appearing in this city, the security agencies must conduct a thorough investigation.

As it turned out, the old men and women not only had no problem, they all put portraits of great men on their bedside tables and their membership cards on their cabinets.

And all of them come from the "Shili Nursing Home" and are overseas nursing home staff.

This evening.

The person in charge of the Oriental Town Planning System was driving past the "small shop" at the gate of the compound. He saw some more corn ears in the shop's trash basket and quickly asked the driver to stop.

"Sister Yu, you haven't closed down yet?"

"Hey, it's getting hot, let's postpone it for half an hour." Old Mrs. Yu put down the half bowl of mixed grain porridge she had not finished, and asked, "What does the leader plan to buy?"

"Well, what's the point of being a leader? Just call me Lao Lu. By the way, do you think we have corn?"

"You have a sharp eye. We just got the new Sany corn grown in our hometown. It comes in Sany original flavor and Sany fruit flavor."

"Give me a few of each."

"Do you want peanuts and edamame?"

"My goodness, are you shipping all the stuff from your hometown here?"

"Not only that, the turtles have grown up and will arrive tomorrow morning. There are also free-range broiler chickens. I heard that the top chef in the cafeteria has specially studied the seasoning package and cooking instructions of Farewell My Concubine."

"Then I'll ask my aunt to come over early in the morning, and you have to leave a copy for me."

"Okay!"

A little bit.

The driver of the person in charge of the town planning system pays, picks up the goods and takes the receipts.

Then he took the leader back home.

At this time, the cook had already prepared three dishes and a soup.

Including scallion tofu, stir-fried bean curd, stir-fried kidney beans with meat, and carrot soup.

And two taels of rice.

The person in charge of the town planning system sat down and called the cooking lady: "Tomorrow morning, steam some corn and cook some multi-grain porridge. Put the corn on the porridge steamer. The porridge will be flavorful and the corn will be fragrant too."

"Ok."

"By the way, tomorrow morning, go to the grocery store at the door and ask Sister Yu to get a turtle and a broiler chicken. Then come back and make Farewell My Concubine. I'll have a couple of drinks."

"Eh!"

At this time.

His wife came to the table complaining, "Those old colleagues of yours are really mean. They came to me instead of you to submit their opinions on staple food. As the director of the Women's Federation, isn't it crossing the line for me to interfere in agriculture?"

The head of the town planning system picked up the chopsticks, put the scallion-fried tofu in the rice bowl, and took a bite. "They want to influence my decision through you."

"How did you decide?"

"Me? I need to look at it. To be honest with you, this matter looks simple. It seems that the staple food production has decreased due to the flood, and the staple food planting area must be guaranteed this year. But in fact, it is very complicated..."

"How to say?"

"Sanyuan Agriculture has contracted 30 mu of arable land and is responsible for the grain supply that farmers should pay, but Sanyuan Agriculture is an enterprise and can be exempted from grain supply by virtue of being a tax-free enterprise, and then by virtue of being a new enterprise, it can be exempted from taxes and fees.

It can be said that you don’t have to pay anything. If you are a parasite in the food supply system, are you happy? "

"..."

"In addition, this year Sanyuan Agriculture has implemented a guaranteed yield of 800 kilograms on 450 million mu of farmland in Jishui, which looks very good. The farmers are happy and the local people are happy.

But when the autumn harvest comes, after deducting the cost of grain supply, seeds, fertilizers, irrigation, etc., farmers may only get 20 to 30 yuan per mu of land.

If Sanyuan Agriculture raises the price of Sany bean seeds slightly, the fertilizer factories, pesticide companies, and irrigation agencies in the surrounding cities and counties that hope to have good relations with Sanyuan will raise their fees again.

I really don’t dare to imagine how much money the farmers actually received.

So until next year, no, after the autumn harvest this year, these 800 million acres of arable land will definitely be successfully contracted by Sanyuan Agriculture.

By then, won’t the parasites in the food supply system starve to death? "

"..."

"The most important thing is that Marubeni and ADM are all plotting against Sany soybeans, hoping that Sanyuan Agriculture will get into trouble. If the 800 million mu of arable land in Jishui is planted with soybeans, and Sanyuan Agriculture can harvest 450 kilograms, and then when the autumn harvest comes, they suddenly cause a sharp drop in soybean prices, who will save the situation then?"

The person in charge of the town planning system sighed, "So, this is a difficult matter."

His wife didn't have any good ideas after hearing this. Seeing that his bowl was empty, she stood up and said, "I'll help you get some rice."

"No, I'm full."

"You haven't been eating much lately."

"Have it?"

"Yes, I used to eat a bowl of rice, but now I only eat half a bowl."

"Have I lost weight recently?"

"I haven't lost weight, and my face looks much rounder."

The person in charge of the town planning system thought about it and said, "Auntie has made a lot of soy products recently."

"Yes, the night before, I made cold tofu skin, fried meat rolls, and steamed multi-grain steamed bread. Last night, I made fish stewed with tofu soup. You said you were full after two bowls. Today..."

"I'll have corn tomorrow morning, there'll be a banquet at noon, and I'll be back in the evening... What's Auntie going to do?"

"Boss, you just said, Farewell My Concubine, let's have a couple of drinks."

"So, apart from the half bowl of rice today, I seem to have not eaten staple food for a long time."

The person in charge of the town planning system closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Soybeans are for eating. If the price plummets, ordinary people can eat more.

At this time, Sanyuan Agriculture guarantees a harvest of 450 kilograms, which is equivalent to providing a safety net for Jishui farmers. The worst result is that Sanyuan Agriculture loses billions... So, Jishui can grow soybeans! " "The problem is that soybeans are not the staple food. Do your superiors believe you when you say you can fill your stomach?"

"If I tell you this, my superiors won't believe it, but these grocery stores will make them believe it."

The person in charge of the town planning system looked around the table full of food and suddenly realized a lot of things. "Are the dishes I want to eat really what I want to eat?"

"???"

"No, I can only eat what Yu Sanyuan wants me to eat."

"???"

"This week, Yu Sanyuan wanted me to eat soy products. He supplied a variety of soy products to the store, and then asked the aunt to bring the menu, and then let me find what I wanted to eat from it. In the end, he made me understand that soy products are also dry food... That's what he meant."

His lover also understood, "This Yu Sanyuan is really amazing, isn't he?"

"Yeah, I'm like this, and other leaders must be like this too... When did those food stores appear?"

"Years ago."

"Although the time was short, Sanyuan Agriculture was just a small township plastic greenhouse company at the time. Who would have thought that in just a few months, it would compete with Marubeni and compete with ADM... Yu Sanyuan is indeed worthy of his name."

The person in charge of the town planning system sighed, picked up the landline, called his direct superior, and said a few inexplicable words, "Leader, how long have you not eaten staple food?"

The other party was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "That boy is quite like Dong Zheng, amazing!"

"Then I'll approve the document for planting soybeans in Jishui?"

"it is good!"

……

the other side.

Dongshan Provincial Highway, Section 385.

Generally speaking, there are no street lights on highways.

But when Dongshan General Manager's convoy entered the 385 section, they felt what it meant to be as bright as day.

They were strange iron towers, about 30 meters high, 200 meters apart, with searchlights on top pointing in all directions.

And reflecting the light.

Under the iron tower in the west is an endless field of beans.

Under the iron tower on the east side are densely packed plastic greenhouses.

Under the iron tower on the south side is an intersection on the highway with traffic lights installed.

It was 9 o'clock at night.

The intersection was still crowded.

Some were shouting and hawking, some were fiddling with their drawing boards, and some were mixing inks...

Suddenly, a man in a traffic uniform signaled the convoy to go down the dirt slope.

The chief steward's secretary, worried about safety, rolled down the car window and leaned over to ask, "Hello, if we go down here, how will we get back up?"

"Go 10 miles ahead and someone will guide you to the highway."

"Will we be robbed if we go down there?"

"What do you mean? Are you insulting our boss?"

The uniformed man glanced at the license plate and emphasized, "In this Shiliying Street, whether you are robbed or mugged, you can point your finger at Lao Dong and Yu Sanyuan and curse them. Not only will they not be angry, they will also apologize to you and compensate you with 100 times the amount of your lost items in cash."

Upon hearing this, the chief steward's secretary didn't know how to respond and looked at the chief steward.

The latter shook his head and said, "Get off the highway and change the license plate."

After a while.

The general manager's motorcade, under the guidance of another group of uniformed personnel on the downhill road, completed the procedures for exiting the highway, and stopped at the Yujia Village parking lot at the signal of several disabled people waving reflective sticks.

At this time, the chief steward's Audi had already changed its license plate.

I also heard the loud speaker in the parking lot:
"Dear guests, I am very sorry. The provincial road in the main area of ​​Shiliying has been completely abandoned. The main road invested by Shiliying Street is also in the planning stage and is currently blocked."

"If you come to Shiliying Subdistrict to do business, we will provide free tickets. With this ticket, you can travel to and from Shiliying Station, Brick Kiln Office Area, Pingdong Lake Aquatic Area, Hangai Township, Jiuxian Township, Xiaoqinghe Animal Husbandry Area, Feishi North Soybean Industrial Park, Taishi West Suburb, Taishi Tianwai Bridge, Sanyuan Factory Rail Line 2 Starting Station. The ticket is valid for three days."

"If you pass by Shiliying and plan to go to Pingdong County, Pingyang County, Liang County, Puyang, Taiqian, and Liaoshi, we will provide free car transport tickets. About every 2 hours, a transport train will stop at the parking lot and help you move your car to the flatbed car of the train and send it out of Shiliying..."

"If you come to Shiliying Street for shopping, tourism, or painting, we will provide free food and accommodation on the first night..."

“If you want to report, sue, or turn yourself in, you can walk to the Sanyuan factory security department or the Shiliying police station.”

The chief steward got out of the car as the horn honked, and then saw the parking lot and dining area that looked like a busy city.

There are densely packed shops around and densely packed crowds of people in front of the door.

These people are wearing red T-shirts with the words "vegetable planting" printed on them, white shirts with the words "rail transit" printed on them, camouflage long-sleeved shirts with the words "construction" printed on them, blue windbreakers with the words "ten thousand cows" printed on them, or various kinds of clothing with the words "water conservancy", "electricity", "security", "bank" and so on printed on them.

There were also burly men with bare chests, or strange people with pennants behind them.

And, no matter who it was, seeing the pennant, they all felt a little uncomfortable, some lowered their voices, some put on clothes, some picked up the garbage around them, or stuffed the half-piece of cake thrown away from the tray directly into their mouths...

"Leader, this should be a patrol flag. The person in charge is the chairman of Taishi Road and Bridge. He has great power. It is said that he can fire contract workers on the spot and warn and prosecute regular workers."

The chief steward nodded, walked through the dining area and out of the parking lot.

He stood on the side of a 200-meter-wide dirt road, looked up into the distance, and saw the bright four characters "Shili Mall".

It was a three-story building that was about to be completed. It occupied a large area and lay dormant on the east side of the highway like a giant toad.

Suddenly.

A train came out of the bridge tunnel on the west side and roared away at a speed of at least 80 kilometers per hour.

Although the roof of the rear carriage was covered with plastic sheeting and it was unclear what was being pulled, there was a banner in the front area that read: Specially supplied for Beijing.

The chief steward looked at the two old men sitting at the door who were dismantling the Hanyang-made boat.

"Grandpa, what's on the cart?"

"What else could it be? Sanyuan's grandson picked some edamame for the officials in the capital, and specially planted some peanuts, corn, red beans, and mung beans. He said that during this period of time, if we boil or stew them, the officials will definitely like them, so the supply price is very low."

Upon hearing this, the chief steward didn't know how to comment on this matter.

However, when his secretary bought the soy products from Chao Yixing, he had already begun to suspect that Yu Sanyuan had already influenced his superiors' definition of "staple food" in various ways.

Hearing this now, I am not so surprised.

Just imagine if all the vegetable stores in the capital were opened in Shiliying, those vegetable vendors would regularly sell some food that could replace staple foods to the nannies or chefs in the leaders' homes.

In the long run, the battle between soybeans and staple foods will become more and more intense.

At this time, someone suddenly asked the superior: Leader, how long have you not eaten steamed buns or rice?

Wow, under the influence of the vegetable store, the leaders who were used to eating whole grains, after thinking about it carefully, realized that they had not eaten steamed buns and rice for a long time, and they lived healthier.

How do you think the leaders will decide?

At this time.

His secretary who stayed in the office called and said, "Boss, the document for planting soybeans in Jishui has been approved. The applications from Liaoshi, Puyang, and Heshi have also been noted as independent decisions."

"really!"

The chief steward sighed: "This Yu Sanyuan is not a simple person."
