Chapter 756 Local Snake

Author: Linjiangxian

Qiubei County is located in the karst mountainous and hilly area of ​​southeastern Yunnan. It not only has many mountains and forests but few flat lands, but also has serious rock erosion, making it difficult to build roads and making transportation very inconvenient.

When the convoy entered Qiubei County, it couldn't even find a decent parking place, so it had to park on the playground of the county government.

This place has just been electrified not long ago, and its ability to communicate with the outside world is basically better than nothing, so I had no way to get in touch with the relevant departments here before coming here. Now that so many buses are pouring into the county government compound at once, it can be difficult to control the size of this place.

The officials were frightened.

If they hadn't known that the world was peaceful now, they would have thought there was trouble somewhere.

Lu Yiming led Sheng Yongshi and Ni Cong out of the car. Looking at the county leaders who were waiting in front of them, Sheng Yongshi quickly explained to them the purpose of their visit in his hometown dialect.

After hearing that Lu Yiming and others were organized by Furi University to inspect poverty alleviation projects, these leaders put down their guard and warmly welcomed everyone.

"Ajia, Ajun, Azhen, bring out tables and stools for everyone to sit on. Xiao Liu goes to tell the kitchen to boil water for tea."

County Magistrate Li Baolong ordered the staff at the scene to move all the tables and chairs from the house and place them on the playground.

The houses here are cramped and small, and it would be difficult for ten people to turn around if they were crammed into them, so if they wanted to receive Lu Yiming and the others, they could only put them on the playground.

The veterans brought by Xu Tengyu also took action, carrying tables, chairs and benches, and soon they formed a circle in the open space.

Then, someone from the kitchen came out carrying two plastic buckets with a red background and white scratches, which contained dark red steaming tea.

This bucket is obviously a multi-purpose tool. It is not only used to hold tea, but also for daily meals.

It is very likely that it is also used for washing clothes and vegetables.

In rural areas, there are not so many things to pay attention to. A plastic bucket is a valuable property, and there is no way to distinguish whether it is functional or not. If it can be used, it is good.

The tea contains thick tea stalks and wide tea leaves. It smells bitter even if you don't drink it.

Li Baolong said apologetically: "I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for everyone. I'm not going to the fair today. We didn't even prepare some melon seeds and peanuts here, so we didn't provide good hospitality."

Lu Yiming quickly smiled and said: "County Magistrate Li, you don't have to be so polite. It's because we came unexpectedly. We came here today to talk to you about the export of Qiubei peppers. I brought food experts this time, and we also

There are people in the logistics field and e-commerce field. My goal is to build our Qiubei pepper brand so that our Qiubei peppers can go directly from the fields to consumers' tables, ensuring that there are no middlemen making the difference."

When Li Baolong heard what Lu Yiming said, he suddenly felt overjoyed.

In the geographical environment of Qiubei County, there are very few places to grow rice. Most of them are dryland crops, among which Qiubei pepper is a unique variety. However, the mountain roads are rugged and the transportation is inconvenient. Farmers alone cannot do this well.

Shipping things out.

In the past few years, the government came forward to negotiate cooperative purchasers. Unfortunately, in the past two years, the purchasers have figured out that there is no way out for Qiubei peppers. The purchase price is getting lower year by year. Now it is even lower to the point where farmers cannot even recoup their original investment.

, triggered strong protests from farmers, and farmers still come to report it from time to time.

"Mr. Lu, are you telling the truth?"

Lu Yiming nodded slightly and said, "I, Lu Yiming, never tell lies."

Ni Cong quickly said: "Mr. Lu is the richest man in Asia."

Hearing that Lu Yiming was the richest man in Asia, Li Baolong was immediately in awe.

Lu Yiming said: "County Magistrate Li, we won't stay here for too long. I plan to go to the fields to take a look, or visit farmers' homes to see how the quality of Qiubei peppers is this year."

Li Baolong said enthusiastically: "Okay, okay, I'll take you there."

Lu Yiming said: "No need, we have already contacted him. Let's go to Sheng Yongshi's house first and then inspect the pepper planting situation in the entire area."

Li Baolong said: "Then let me prepare the kitchen and come over for dinner together at noon. I will also arrange for you to go to the hotel."

Lu Yiming thought for a while and realized that with so many people there, there must be no way to eat at Sheng Yongshi's house, so he said: "Then I'll bother County Magistrate Li. We will contact you about the expenses then. I guess it's too late for lunch.

Let’s rush over in the evening.”

"That's okay."

After bidding farewell to Li Baolong, Lu Yiming and the others, led by Sheng Yongshi, climbed two mountains and hiked for more than two hours before entering the village.

Several students in the literary club were almost paralyzed from exhaustion. When going uphill, they rolled over and over without caring about their appearance, panting.

The village is not big, with a total of about twenty families living in a ravine. The common surname here is Li. People like Sheng Yongshi and others all migrated here from outside in order to avoid wars in ancient times.

So many people came to the village at once, which alarmed the whole village. People from every household went out to watch the fun.

"Why are there so many people here?"

"Are those the People's Liberation Army?"

"There are adults and children, what are they doing here?"

Amid everyone's suspicious discussions, everyone arrived at the door of Sheng Yongshi's house. Dozens of people filled the originally spacious cement terrace.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Sheng Yongshi called out, and a woman with a wrinkled face and gray hair came out of the dim room carrying a dustpan. She was Sheng Yongshi's mother, Li Meiju. She was stunned when she saw so many people at the door, and then she saw

Sheng Yongshi then spoke: "Shishi, why are you back? Who are they?"

Sheng Yongshi introduced: "These are members of our Furi University Literary Club, these are people from Tengyu Logistics Company, these are doctors. This is Mr. Lu, the richest man in Asia. This is my boyfriend Ni Cong."

Despite her delicate appearance, she was unambiguous about the relationship between men and women and introduced her to Li Meiju openly.

What kind of logistics company, richest man, etc., Li Meiju didn't feel anything in her heart, but this doctor and her boyfriend couldn't help but make her take a second look.

Ni Cong was already prepared. He took out two gift bags, handed them to Li Meiju, and said very politely: "Auntie, I am the general manager of Fanzhenxiang Catering Company. I just graduated from Furi University. A little gift.

, I hope Auntie won’t dislike it.”

"Okay, okay, you have a lot of talent, not bad."

Li Meiju smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.

My daughter is getting older, so it would be nice to have a partner, and since Ni Cong was admitted to Furi University, he must be a good character.

According to the simple values ​​of rural people, a person who can get into a good university must be a reliable and good person.

Sheng Yongshi asked: "Where is my dad?"

Li Meiju sighed and said, "I'm lying in the back room and won't eat, eh."

Ni Cong asked in surprise: "Uncle is not well yet? Why don't you send him to the hospital?"

Lu Yiming cursed: "Look, there's no hospital here? Why do you think I brought medical experts here?"

He turned to a middle-aged man in his forties and said, "Dr. Wang, please go in with your colleagues and take a look."

"OK."

The disease of Sheng Yongshi's father, Sheng Xuehai, was ultimately caused by anxiety. First, he was so angry at the price given by the purchaser, and then he thought that if his peppers rotted in the field, he would have been working in vain for a year. He was so anxious that he fell ill.

, essentially there is no big problem.

Sheng Yongshi took Ni Cong into the house to meet Sheng Xuehai.

Sheng Xuehai heard that Ni Cong was also a student at Furi University. He had just graduated from university and became a company boss. He came here today to help sell chili peppers in the countryside. With the good news, Sheng Xuehai was more than half cured of his illness.

Sheng Yongshi was very happy to see Sheng Xuehai's improvement. Lu Yiming was outside urging the inspection, so Ni Cong put down all the medicines and supplements he had brought and said to Sheng Xuehai and Li Meiju: "Uncle, aunt, let's come over this time, firstly to take a look, and secondly to come."

We also want to sell all the chili peppers in our village. Now we plan to go out and visit to see how everyone’s chili peppers are doing.”

Sheng Xuehai volunteered and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there. I know everyone in the village."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "It would be great if my uncle leads the way."

Sheng Xuehai took everyone out and soon came to an acquaintance's house.

"Old Man Li, are you here?"

A man with gray hair and dark skin came out of the house, holding a dry pipe in his mouth. Before anyone could see him, the voice came: "Are you recovered?"

"Hey, why are there so many people?"

Sheng Xuehai smiled and said: "I'm fine. Come on, let me introduce you. This is my son-in-law, who is the big boss of Zhonghai. These are the other people."

Lu Yiming: "???"

Xu Tengyu: "???"

other people:"???"

Good guy, this introduction is really simple, straightforward and easy to understand.

Old Man Li didn't feel anything was wrong yet.

"What are they here for?"

"They said they were here to collect the peppers we had, and they wanted to build a pepper processing plant in the county. They said they would sign a contract with us directly. As long as their purchase standards are met, the peppers will be purchased directly at the market price."

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Of course, this is what my son-in-law said. Can he still lie to me?"

"Then the relationship is great. From now on we will just grow peppers?"

"Yes. Okay, stop talking nonsense, take out your chili peppers and show them to the experts. If the quality is up to standard, we will sign a contract and all the chili peppers will be taken away."

"good."
