Chapter 547: Great Drought

Zheng Xudong's car drove into today's final destination - Lianyungang before 3 p.m.

Although I don't know why I want to rest so early, Tang Luoyong has such a very good point as a driver - he is strict and resolutely does not ask what he shouldn't ask!

"Boss, where are you resting tonight?" asked Tang Luoyong.

Zheng Xudong had already found a good place just now, Lianyungang Guoxin Yuntai Hotel, called up the Gaode map on the Apple tablet, entered the name of the hotel in the search bar, and then it showed No. 27 Cangwu Road, XP District, clicked "Navigation", and then put the tablet behind the windshield, Tang Luoyong followed the navigation prompts, and quickly found this hotel not far from Lianyungang Foreign Chinese School and Lianyungang Education Bureau.

After arriving at the hotel, Zheng Xudong showed his ID card and directly opened two rooms, one was a luxury business suite for himself, and the other was an executive standard room for Tang Luoyong.

After Zheng Xudong opened the room, he called Tang Luoyong to his room, "Brother Tang, do you still have the activity funds there?"

"Boss, there are quite a few, tell me, what do you want me to do?" Tang Luoyong asked.

"So, I'll have some food in my room in a while, and then I want to rest early, don't bother me, let's set off here at five o'clock tomorrow morning, drive on the road in the morning, and then find a place to rest at ten o'clock at noon. Depart at 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and stay at the hotel at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening. In this way, we avoided the hottest time at noon. ”

"Thank you, boss!" Anyway, Tang Luoyong thinks that this little boss is good, as a professional driver, you shouldn't be picky about what is cold and hot, but since someone cares, isn't it better!

"Brother Tang, give you a task, you go and inquire about what specialties Lianyungang has, buy some and put them in the car, we can take them, eat them, and use them, and then you can also go shopping here, buy some things for the children at home and send them back through logistics." Okay, go ahead, remember not to bother me, I'm going to study something, I'm going to leave tomorrow morning at five o'clock, buy it and eat it early and hit the road. ”

"Understood, boss, then I'll go. After speaking, Tang Luoyong left without much talk.

The reason why Zheng Xudong was in such a hurry to stay in the hotel and rest was because just after noon, he received an urgent call from Charlie Carson, the manager of the BROKEN O farm in the United States.

On the phone, Carson, the farm manager, said one thing, drought, big drought. This year's summer temperature in the United States is exceptionally high, with varying degrees of high temperatures above 42 degrees in various parts of the United States, and 45 degrees Celsius in some places, such as the Washington District of Washington, where hundreds of people have suffered from heat stroke. Not only is it hot but it also rains little, with the lowest rainfall in 50 years in August across the country, even in Montana, which has an abundance of water.

IT IS SAID THAT THERE IS A SUN RIVER RUNNING THROUGH THE BROKEN O FARM, AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A SHORTAGE OF WATER BEFORE, BUT THIS YEAR EVEN THE SUN RIVER HAS BEEN CUT OFF. Manager Carson said that the grass on the farm has begun to wilt, and if it is not solved in time, it will affect the feed of cattle and sheep.

Zheng Xudong asked on the phone if there was any solution? Manager Carson meant to reduce the number of cattle and sheep, and to put it bluntly, he began to slaughter a large number of people.

"Isn't it okay to dig a well or go to a distant place to get water?" Zheng Xudong asked an extremely layman's sentence.

Manager Carson said that it would be better to reduce the number of cattle and sheep, and now we can only ensure the water supply for people's daily life. On the phone, the manager also said that in fact, not only the BROKEN O farm has started to slaughter cattle and sheep, but other ranches have begun to slaughter in large quantities. As a result, the price of beef is now very low, but there is no way to do it without slaughtering.

Finally, Manager Carson said: "As long as we can survive this hurdle, in the autumn, the price of beef in the United States will definitely rise wildly this year, because in the summer, everyone will almost kill the cattle, and in the autumn the slaughter will definitely be insufficient." But now no one can do it. God, this is not for the farm, the pasture is alive!"

Zheng Xudong directly told Manager Carson, telling him not to slaughter cattle and sheep first, and giving him two days to think of a way. Although Carson didn't say, "What can you do, more than 10,000 kilometers away from the United States!" Carson still replied with a bit of frustration on the phone, "yes," and hung up the phone.

Zheng Xudong called his Allah Ranch again, and got the same answer as Manager Carson, it is also drought, but fortunately, it does not have many cattle and sheep there, and it can hold on for a while, unlike BROKEN O Farm, which has about 4,300 cows alone. There are also a lot of fattening bulls!

So that's why he wants to "rest" early, he has to go to Lake Baikal to get a lot of water, and then tomorrow at noon, it will be the middle of the night in the United States to go to rain, and by the way, he will plant grass in the national security zone of Nevada. He wants to make as many trips to the United States as possible during these three days on this road.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, took out the plane and immersed his mind in the plane, and then flew out directly from the balcony of the room, all the way north to Lake Baikal.

He simply ate something on the plane, he had a hamburger in the space, which was the last time he ordered 50,000 burgers at a fan meeting in New York, USA, and the remaining 200 hamburgers were really uneatable. Because I didn't eat at noon, I took out four super burgers and two bottles of beer and "simply" took a bite on the plane. When he finished eating and changed into a diving suit, he had already reached the top of Lake Baikal, and when he was about to descend into the water, he found that there was a small boat on the lake, Zheng Xudong was 5,000 meters above the lake at this time, and the small boat was enlarged through the big screen on the plane, and it turned out to be two old men whispering and laughing on the lake.

Zheng Xudong's first two times were either late at night or early in the morning, so no one came to disturb him every time, but it was just three o'clock in the afternoon today, although the sun had begun to turn west, but it still couldn't stop the fishing enthusiasts, so he had no choice but to say to Xiao Ai: "Xiao Ai, find another place, a little farther away from this time." so as not to disturb them. Zheng Xudong could only let Xiao Ai find another place to get water.

"Five hundred meters to the west, the bottom of the lake is also at the right depth, and the bottom is relatively flat, so you can get water. When Zheng Xudong heard Xiao Ai's words, he drove the plane west for another 500 meters, and sure enough, there were no outsiders around except for the two old men fishing in the distance.

Zheng Xudong looked for a place with his back to the old man fishing, put away the plane and jumped into the lake, "plop", although the sound was not loud, but an old man fishing in the distance looked back at this side, and then stabbed the old friend next to him with his arm, "Hey!

"What do you hear?"

"I seem to hear the sound of someone falling into the water behind me, don't you hear?"

"You can still hear the sound of someone falling into the water with your ears so back, no way, I didn't hear it, you must have heard it wrong, don't think about it. Hurry, hurry, hurry, your rod has moved, and a fish has bitten! Hurry up and close the rod! Silly!?"

"Oh... Yes, retract the rod, close the rod. ”

Zheng Xudong dived to the bottom of the lake, found a relatively flat place and sat cross-legged, and quickly entered a meditative state like an old monk in meditation, and a large amount of Baikal water poured into his space.

"Finally caught you little naughty!" said an old man, turning to a large, one-foot-long fish in his hand.

"Huh, old man, look, the lake over there. The other old man pointed with his hand to the place where Zheng Xudong had gone into the water just now.

"What's the matter?" the old man who caught the fish put the fish into the basket containing the fish, and then followed the old man's hand to look into the distance, "Mom, that's a whirlpool, oh my God, a two-hundred-meter whirlpool! Hurry up!" The old man looked at the whirlpool in the distance and turned pale with fright, and shouted to the old man next to him with a trembling voice.

"Yes, start the boat. Another old man hurriedly ran to the stern of the boat, kicked down the basket containing the fish, and the fish caught in it seemed to feel the danger, and desperately fought on the board, once, twice... After a few clicks, he jumped back into the lake, and was so frightened that he swam straight to the bottom of the lake.

At this time, the boat on the lake had begun to be attracted by the whirlpool, and slowly approached the whirlpool, and the speed became faster and faster, and the old man kneeling in the bow of the boat shouted anxiously: "Old thing, what are you waiting for!? Start the boat quickly! If you don't start it, it's too late." ”

"The old guy hurried over and took the handle, but the boat couldn't start. The old man kneeling at the bow of the boat saw that the old man at the stern of the boat was desperately pulling the rope on the engine, but every time the engine was "thud, thud" twice and the fire was extinguished.

Seeing this, the old man at the bow of the boat hurriedly ran over, and the two of them pulled the rope head together, "I shouted one, two, three, let's work together, pull hard, do you hear?" Seeing the old man nodding, the old man shouted: "One, two, three, pull!"

The two old sweaters pulled the rope desperately together and pulled behind them, "Suddenly, suddenly." The engine first smacked twice, and then "suddenly... "Get started. At this time, the boat was only fifty meters away from the whirlpool, and was rushing towards the whirlpool at a speed of forty kilometers per hour.

"Hurry up and turn the engine to maximum power!"

"It's already the biggest!"

The boat desperately tried to break free from the attraction of the whirlpool, the engine emitted billowing black smoke, and the boat at this time was like an old man carrying a huge burden on his back, slowly, laboriously moving forward, fortunately, although slow, it never stopped, and finally the speed became faster and faster, until it was almost a hundred meters away from the whirlpool, the boat seemed to break free from the chains tied to it by the whirlpool, and rushed towards the distant shore.

"Let's go fishing somewhere else next time!"

"yes, I haven't heard of such a big whirlpool here in hundreds of years!

"Whatever he has! I'm not here anyway!"

After speaking, the two old men looked at each other "affectionately", nodded together, and drove the boat into the distance.

Zheng Xudong entered a meditative state while sucking water at the bottom of the lake, but he didn't know anything about the things on the lake, every time he came to "steal water" late at night, he didn't know that there would be such a big reaction on the lake at the bottom of the lake, if he knew, he would definitely let Xiao Ai stay away from the two old men just now. Nearly an hour later, Zheng Xudong slowly surfaced and began to breathe.
