Chapter Eighty-Nine: Longevity Village
"Master Cheng, you're not kidding?"
Zhou Dong always felt that Shen Cheng was fooling himself.
The growing conditions of lotus root are obvious, the water temperature must not be lower than 15 degrees Celsius to survive, and more than 20 degrees Celsius can ensure rapid growth, so it is generally grown in summer and harvested in autumn. Now Chudu will come to a few inverted spring colds at every turn, but where to find the fresh lotus root in season?
Don't say go to the south, in fact, the temperature difference between the north and the south will not be too big this season, and if you want the water temperature to rise to the standard that the lotus root needs, it is estimated that you have to go to the vicinity of the Flaming Mountain.
"Of course it's not a joke, Master Xiao Zhou, you know that I often go out 'private'.
However, I am a very principled person, and occasionally take on some charity-related business with little pay.
Half a year ago, I went to a nursing home deep in Fengqi Mountain...... They are all from Chudu, Master Xiao Zhou of the Fengqi Mountain Development Project has always heard of it, right?"
Zhou Dong nodded, this matter was in a uproar a few years ago, not to mention the outside, even in the mental hospital.
Chudu is mountainous, Fengqi Mountain is the general name of the mountain range in the western suburbs of Chudu, it is a strange scenery to be developed area, only because of the complex mountain topography and lack of historical and cultural support, Chudu will always be undecided.
Later, it was discovered that there were very rare natural hot springs hidden under the surface of Fengqi Mountain, and Chudu City moved its mind and was ready to use a large amount of money to build Fengqi Mountain into a tourist resort; at that time, newspapers and radio stations reported that there were natural hot springs in Chudu since then, which could fill the gap in the tourist market or something.
It's a pity that the boiling Fengqi Mountain development project has died down after a round, because the underground hot springs are too far from the surface and too scattered to have much commercial development value.
"Master Cheng, didn't you mean the hot springs in Fengqi Mountain, right? The development has been suspended, not to mention that there are no hot springs on the surface, and even if there are, the hot spring water is not suitable for the growth of lotus roots. ”
"I'm not talking about lotus roots growing in hot springs.
When I went to Fengqi Mountain, it was already late autumn, but it felt like it was in early summer and late summer. Master Xiao Zhou, think about it, if such a temperature environment is ......"
"If there is an ordinary water source in Fengqi Mountain, it can be allowed to grow out of season in such a temperature environment. ”
Zhou Dong's eyes lit up, Shen Cheng made a meritorious contribution this time, according to him, this is a good place.
Whether you can find the out-of-season fresh lotus root is actually secondary, maybe this time you can go to Fengqi Mountain to find an ideal place to live for your parents.
My father and mother are also people who are running to fifty, and the first half of their lives are diligent and diligent, which can not be compared to some pampered occupations; my father has a philosopher with a waist disease, and my mother also has a problem with cold legs, and the two old people are indifferent by nature, and what they love most is mountains and rivers.
What my parents envy most is this kind of life of returning to the countryside, but I have long planned to do so.
If it is really as Shen Cheng said, isn't Fengqi Mountain a 'blessed land' made in heaven? The warm climate is of great benefit to the condition of the second elder.
In addition, according to Shen Cheng's introduction, although the Fengqi Mountain project was abandoned halfway, the mountain road was built to a great extent, and the life in Fengqi Village, which used to live in seclusion deep in the mountains, was much more convenient; two years ago, a Hong Kong businessman returned to Fengqi Village to pay respects to his ancestors, and he also built a nursing home in the village to accommodate some lonely nest elderly people whose children went out to work.
There is a road that is popular, and my parents will not be lonely in the future, so I should go to the front station, and if I feel satisfied, I will take the time to take the second elder to Fengqi Mountain to see.
The more Zhou Dong thought about it, the more enthusiastic he became, and nodded: "Master Cheng, if it's convenient, take me to Fengqi Mountain today." ”
"Master Xiao Zhou, look at what you said, what's so inconvenient about this?
The last time I went to Fengqi Mountain, it was to celebrate the 100th birthday of a dozen centenarians in the nursing home, and I lived in the village for two or three days, and I became good friends with the village chief.
This time, when we went over, we went to the village chief's house to eat, and he kept it for us. ”
Don't underestimate the village chief, even if he lives in the mountains, he is the brightest person in the village, can he leave a good chef in the village, let alone a master chef like Shen Cheng from a five-star hotel, he will naturally make friends deliberately. Zhou Dong may not understand this truth, but Shen Cheng is very bright, otherwise he would not dare to pack the ticket in front of Zhou Dong.
"That's great, let's go. ”
When Zhou Dong heard that Fengqi Village was still a longevity village, his heart was even more happy. One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, and his parents can feel at ease when they live in this kind of place.
Shen Cheng has a Kyoto jeep, it is just right to walk the mountain road, and the old men have nothing to prepare when they go out, and one person grabs a bottle of mineral water and goes out of the Lu kitchen. As soon as he walked to the elevator, he saw Huai Liangren walking out of the elevator, looking at Shen Cheng with suspicious eyes and saying, "Where do you want to take Zhou Dong to?"
"I didn't bring your daughter-in-law again, you don't care where I take Master Xiao Zhou, I'm sick, right?"
Shen Cheng scolded secretly in his stomach, and said with a smile on his face: "Master Xiao Zhou and I are going to Fengqi Mountain, Master Huai, you will not be interested." ”
His eyes have seen countless people, and he can see at a glance that Huailiang is definitely the kind of person who is extremely picky and has high requirements for the quality of life. Reporting the name of Fengqi Mountain is to make him retreat.
"Fengqi Mountain, it's very good to hear the name, it must be a beautiful place. Zhou Dong, I'll go with you!"
"But I don't welcome you. ”
"It's okay if you're not welcome, this ...... Master Shen, aren't you welcome me either?"
"Oh, Master Huai, you are too polite, I don't dare to call me master in front of you.
You see, this time I mainly accompanied Master Xiao Zhou, he is the master, and I am a helper. Since Master Xiao Zhou doesn't welcome you to go with you, why don't you go another day?
Besides, Master Huai is a person who has seen the world, what is there to go to in the countryside, and if he doesn't say it, he will get a dirty face and a foot of shit, so why bother?"
Shen Cheng can also be regarded as a lotus with a tongue, obviously refusing people, but he has to make people feel comfortable listening to it, and by the way, he didn't forget to shoot two sycophants, after all, he didn't wear sycophants for thousands of years.
"Hehe, what's wrong with the countryside?"
Huai Liangren's answer surprised the two: "In my eyes, the farmer's dark hands are cleaner and more noble than the sheets of a five-star hotel!"
In my eyes, the country roads are much purer than the red carpet at the White House.
So, I'm going to Fengqi Mountain!"
"Oh?"
Zhou Dong raised his eyes and looked at Huai Liangren, he didn't expect him to be able to say such a thing, this person is not useless.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you something.
I had a phone call with President Dong of the Sioux Provincial Culinary Association, and I suddenly found that it seemed to be a very interesting thing to be a judge of the Star Hotel Evaluation Committee...... Chairman Dong was very happy, and the matter was finalized on the phone. ”
Shen Cheng shuddered when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Master Xiao Zhou, the judges of the Star Hotel Evaluation Committee really can't be messed with......"
Zhou Dongchong nodded at Shen Cheng and glanced at Huai Liangdao: "Okay, you can go if you want, let's go together." ”
"Haha, that's right, I'll just say we're going to be good friends......"
