Chapter 382 - Disaster in the vegetable growing area

"After the Gulf War, the Ministry of Defense praised the capabilities of the Humvee, and all military cars were switched to this vehicle, which is presumably an improved model sent to Warren Air Base. ”

Gabriel shuddered, the muscles of his body could not resist the cold winter of nature, so he could only shovel snow to warm himself up.

Han's father finally realized that something was wrong, it was too new, and when he opened the engine cover, the stainless steel pipes were shiny, but the license plate was still the same as before.

"Why did they send this car to us?"

"It's definitely a gesture of goodwill, keep the old car for yourself, as long as the quantity is correct, no one will check if the car is new. ”

Han Xuan saw a letter pasted on the window glass of the car, and pulled the car door hard.

With a key in the keyhole, I picked up the envelope and looked at it, where Linden's name was written on it.

I tore open the envelope and said that the previous car had been sent to the original factory for repair, and that it would be replaced by this car first, that it was originally an officer car distributed by the base to him for his own purposes, and that he was going to the Middle East to carry out a mission recently, and that he could not use it now.

"Look, that's what I said. ”

The father took the letter handed by his son, and after reading the letter that asked George to come and burn the lighter, he couldn't make trouble for the other party, and laughed: "It's our family's old car, but it's a different color, let's go!"

Han Xuan stepped on the snow and entered the passenger seat.

The cowhide seat was cold, gasping, and the two bodyguards followed to the car.

Daddy lit the fire excitedly, the weather was too cold, and it took several times to start, and the cowboys gave way to the road, and the thick tires of the Hummer crushed the snow and entered the path that had been carved out.

The body is quite heavy, there is no slippage at all on icy ground, and the engine is more powerful than the previous one, and you can feel it by listening to the sound.

Seeing the fogging of the car window, Han Xuan wiped his sleeve. Surprised to find that the glass was very thick, he bent his fingers and tapped it, and the glove hit it almost without making a sound, and said, "Bulletproof?"

Jason turned his head and replied to him: "It is estimated that in actual combat, it was found that the defense of this kind of car is relatively weak." These body steel plates have also been thickened. ”

Han's father sped up a little faster, and the half-meter-high snow pressed directly over, easily, and the wipers swept away the snowflakes that fell on the car window, and said with a smile: "Everything else is fine, but the seat is too hard, I modified the car before, and I have time to send it to the Great Falls City, and I also add layers of cushions......"

Freshly shoveled snow in the morning. Now it is piled up thirty or forty centimeters high, and I met several vegetable trucks on the road, and it took a lot of effort to meet the trucks.

The old cowshed collapsed in a large area, and the big wild boar ran out again, and struggled through the snow, and when he turned around and found that it was too cold, he returned to the cowshed and hid

Soon when I came to the vegetable planting area, I saw that many vegetable sheds were damaged from a distance. Many workers are picking vegetables.

A three-hundred-watt yellow tungsten lamp is lit, and one hangs at a distance of six meters. The surrounding white fog is steaming.

Growing vegetables in winter especially consumes electricity, correspondingly, the price of vegetables will also increase, or you can make money, people who come to buy vegetables in the snow mountain pasture will generally not lack money. They focus on health.

The snow on the ground was crushed by the trucks and frozen, and the Humvee creaked as it moved.

Baskets of vegetables that have not yet been frozen are loaded onto trucks and transported to warehouses for storage, where they are sold when the snow melts and the roads are cleared.

Asked a few people. Find Lewis, who is personally in battle, busy in full swing.

In the middle of this vegetable greenhouse, there is more than four meters of plastic film collapsed, the temperature inside is the same as outside, the garlic is cold-resistant, and it has not been frozen yet.

Seeing the boss coming, he straightened up with difficulty, took off his mask, and the rough breath he gasped condensed into small droplets, which were blown away by the wind.

Lewis said: "Two days ago, I warned that there was a cold wave coming, but I didn't expect it to be so serious, careless.

If you had laid a straw mat on the vegetable shed in advance and called more people to clear the snow, it would not have become what it is now. ”

"It's none of your business, Mr. Lewis, no one expected that there would be such a heavy snowfall today, what about the damage?" Han Xuan asked him.

"One hundred and seventy-five greenhouses were broken. ”

As soon as the words fell, a bang sounded not far away, and Lewis said dejectedly: "One hundred and seventy-six."

There was a power outage for several hours in the morning, and water was sprinkled in the greenhouse yesterday, causing the ground to freeze, and it looks good on the outside, but in fact their roots are frozen and damaged.

Many fruits and vegetables can be marketed in half a month, and I originally wanted to wait for the harvest to plant some hardy vegetables, but now it is useless, so I can only pick the ones that can be sold and pick them to minimize the loss, at least a loss of about one million US dollars. ”

"It's only a million? That's good, it's a lot smaller than I thought. "Father Han is afraid to pat his chest, there are more than 5,000 greenhouses here, and the loss is less than 200, and the snow fell like this overnight, and only losing so much money is enough to satisfy him.

"I took 500 people from the orchard to come over, and when the road was opened, I helped to cover the straw mats and keep them warm, and the tungsten lamp did not stop, and these frozen vegetables were gone, and it was important to take care of the vegetables in the other greenhouses, so that people could sweep away the snow. ”

Hearing that the boss didn't blame, Lewis breathed a sigh of relief, "I know, I just planted those hazelnut saplings with truffle mycorrhizae yesterday morning, and I guess they're about to freeze to death now."

Coupled with this loss, as well as the money for reconstruction in the future, it may be around two million dollars, and one can only hope that other places will also be affected, and the price of vegetables will rise, which should make up for some of the losses. ”

Han Xuan squinted his eyes, this kind of thought is something that ordinary people can't think of, and said: "When the cold wave reaches the Mexican region, it will stop when it encounters a warm current, and it is estimated that most of the United States will be affected."

Prices are sure to go up, and the following Thanksgiving and Christmas are the peak sales periods, and organic vegetables are available in limited quantities to be sold in a few days. ”

Lewis nodded, looking at the half-ripe garlic, which was gradually freezing stiff in the wind and snow, and the corners of his eyes twitched in distress.

There was a noise in the distance, Han Xuan looked back, a large group of black-nosed sheep were walking in the snow, and a few lambs were stuck in the snow, screaming miserably, and the workers were rescuing.

Swiss black-nosed sheep love snow, but today's temperature is so low that I sheared them last month, which is a bad thing.

The strongest goat cleared the way, and the other black-nosed sheep followed its tracks, and when it was safe to arrive, the ram collapsed to the ground with all its strength.

An employee hurriedly called for help and moved it into the greenhouse to keep warm, and the little ones trembled and ran to Han Xuan en masse.

Han Xuan hugged the head of the little black-nosed sheep and rubbed it, the snowflakes fell all over the ground, and found that its muscles were twitching, and hurriedly opened a greenhouse to let them in.

The black-nosed sheep felt the warmth, and cleverly raised its legs to go inside, and the grass in the field was covered with snow, and it was hungry, and it ate the lettuce on the ground.

No one went to stop them, they lived together for several months, and the employees of the vegetable growing area loved them.

After arranging things, seeing that Lewis still had something to do, Han Xuan said: "Dad, let's go to the resort, it's not far from here, and we will walk over if there is no way." ”

"Okay, I didn't get through to call Jensen at home, go check it out" (To be continued.) )
