Chapter Twenty-Three: The Years Are Pig Feed
The Zhu family's Xicheng Flower Base is located in a village called Xicheng in the west of Taoli City.
Zhu Guozhong's grandfather was a native of Xicheng and had been beekeeping in the village all his life.
The air in Xicheng Village is fresh, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, because the altitude is 500 meters, so that entrepreneurs who may invest are discouraged, which makes this village not experience the pollution of industrialization, and has the original natural environment, which also makes the honey collected by the grandfather's bees particularly pure. Because of the good quality of honey, it has established a good reputation and opened up a good market, but my grandfather kept bees alone and couldn't cut too much honey, so beekeeping and selling honey could only be a small business.
Zhu Guozhong grew up drinking his grandfather's honey, and after studying in college, he found that it was difficult to drink a sip of pure honey in a big city. This touched Zhu Guozhong's heart and wanted to help his grandfather expand his beekeeping and honey business, so that more people could drink mellow honey.
After graduating from university and returning to Taoli City, Zhu Guozhong helped his grandfather with advice while teaching, after many years of careful management, when Zhu Guozhong met Zhu Xiaoyan, the Zhu family had already raised two or three hundred boxes of bees, with an annual output value of one million. After marrying Zhu Xiaoyan, the Zhu family's beekeeping business expanded to flower farming. At the suggestion of Zhu Xiaoyan, the Zhu family opened up the Xicheng flower base, planting nearly 100 acres of edible roses, which greatly expanded the business of the Zhu family.
Zhu Guozhong's car drove into the Xicheng Flower Base, Hua Jianmin got out of the car, and there was a sea of red roses coming into view, under the sun, in the breeze, the sea of flowers wave after wave, flushing red waves and green waves, bright and dazzling.
Seeing Hua Jianmin looking at the sea of flowers with a thoughtful expression, Zhu Guozhong smiled and said, "How about it, you haven't seen edible roses before, right?"
Indeed, there is a certain difference in appearance between this edible rose and the ornamental rose used to show love in the flower shop, which is more like a rose, and the edible rose planted in the Xicheng Flower Base of Zhu Guozhong is also called a Daemic rose. The Daejac rose is also the national flower of Bulgaria, which has a good meaning and symbolizes hard work and wisdom.
Hua Jianmin coughed, "You and I are classmates, why do you look at me so uninformed?" I'm just curious, the flowering period of edible roses is generally in spring and summer, even the longest-flowering four-season roses continue to bloom until mid-October at most, how do your roses last until this cold winter?"
Zhu Guozhong pointed to the sun in the sky, "Look at this posture this winter, the red sun is at the head, the temperature is relatively warm, and the roses will bloom for a long time." In the final analysis, the blooming of this rose is not for the season, but for the climate and temperature. ”
Speaking of warm winter, Hua Jianmin suddenly felt a little hot.
Zhu Guozhong said to Hua Jianmin while taking off his coat: "No matter how young you look at your skin, you are essentially middle-aged and elderly, look at you wrapping yourself so thickly." ”
"I'm afraid I'll take off my down jacket, and you'll be upset. ”
Hua Jianmin's words puzzled Zhu Guozhong.
And Hua Jianmin had already taken off his red down jacket, revealing his long standing figure, and said with a smile: "Time is a preservative for me, but it is pig feed for you." ”
The dignified director of education, there are such stinky and beautiful times!
Zhu Guozhong looked down at his beer belly and couldn't help but be indignant.
"Mr. Zhu, your winter roses are not as beautiful as summer roses. ”
A crisp female voice floated up from the sea of flowers.
Zhu Guozhong and Hua Jianmin both followed the prestige, only to see that in the sea of red and green flowers, a woman wearing a cheongsam and wearing long hair straightened her waist.
The cheongsam outlines a woman's plump figure well and makes her look mature.
She gracefully walked up from the sea of flowers, and in the time she walked over, Zhu Guozhong quickly introduced to Hua Jianmin: "Lin Miao, from the province next door, what do you guess she does?"
Hua Jianmin was not interested in the cheongsam girl, so he didn't ask, Zhu Guozhong said himself: "The industry she does matches her name very well, she is in the seedling business." ”
Lin Miao had already walked up to the two, Hua Jianmin smiled politely at her, but Lin Miao smiled brightly. Because he knew that today's meeting was a blind date arranged by Zhu Guozhong, Lin Miao also stood generously and waited for Hua Jianmin to come to see him, and his eyes also looked at Hua Jianmin from top to bottom a few times.
Hua Jianmin is a talent, Mo said that there is a position of director of education, even if he is carrying sandbags on the construction site, he will not worry about being disliked if he rushes to this face.
Compared with Lin Miao's obvious purpose, Hua Jianmin is much more perfunctory. He looks at the sky, the earth, the flowers, and the trees, but he doesn't look at the forest seedlings. His eyes looked around, and he asked Zhu Guozhong: "Didn't you say that Xicheng Flower has recently expanded the Ya Honey project?" Take me to see it." ”
"Okay, okay!" Lin Miao's innocent expression and tone were very incongruous with her mature appearance.
The three of them walked to the edge of a cliff, and a good protective railing had been erected on the edge of the cliff. Zhu Guozhong put one hand on the railing and pointed to the cliff below the cliff with the other, but he saw that dozens of beehives were nailed to the cliff wall, and looking down from a distance, it was like many exquisite small houses, which was very interesting.
"Build a wild nest honey on the cliff, provide a place for bees in the oldest way, without any human intervention, and restore the most natural scene for bees to make honey, in order to brew the best honey. This is the idea of the Yami project. When Zhu Guozhong introduced, his eyes were shining, and the whole person was full of energy.
Lin Miao had already clapped his hands and praised: "Mr. Zhu, you really have an unknown number of golden ideas in your head." ”
If Zhu Guozhong is not married, I am afraid that Lin Miao should be the one who is in love today. What a beer belly, obviously it is a thousand dollars.
"The Yami project is not my idea, it is a project developed by my wife Zhu Xiaoyan after participating in the training course for new professional farmers of the Provincial Department of Agriculture last year," Zhu Guozhong mentioned that Zhu Xiaoyan was full of flowers, he raised his eyebrows at Hua Jianmin, and said proudly, "You see, my 'mother Zhu' still has great advantages." ”
Hua Jianmin coughed and looked up at the sky.
Speak of the devil.
"What are you saying bad things about me behind your back?" Zhu Xiaoyan's voice came, and everyone looked up, Zhu Xiaoyan was walking over with a man and a woman, all three of them were wearing clothes to go down the cliff, wearing hard hats on their heads, and safety ropes were tied around their thighs and waists.
Zhu Guozhong has already recognized that the man brought by Zhu Xiaoyan is a well-known "beggar cadre" in Taoli City, and Peng Zhichong, who has been on the list of good people in China. The young girl who followed Peng and the others was very eye-catching, but her appearance was eye-catching.
"Guozhong, who do you see coming?" Zhu Xiaoyan asked with a smile while holding Peng Waitao's arm.
Without waiting for Zhu Guozhong to speak, Peng and other Chong had already greeted with a smile: "Brother Guozhong, long time no see." ”
Zhu Guozhong hurriedly greeted him: "Brother Peng, what kind of wind blew you here." ”
"A spring breeze in winter. Peng and the others wrote a poem, and looked at Hua Jianmin happily.
"Jianmin, this is the ...... who has been on the list of good people" Before Zhu Guozhong finished his introduction, Peng and Hua Jianmin had already warmly shook hands, hugged and patted their shoulders, like a pair of old friends who had been reunited after a long absence.
"Have you two known each other for a long time?" Zhu Guozhong asked unexpectedly.
"Director Hua and I are old friends, but Mr. Shen and I are meeting for the first time today. Peng and others looked at Shen Wenxue as he spoke, and everyone's eyes fell on the girl who was dressed as a cliff outfit.
