Old Ma Dan asked in surprise: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Xiao Ping wanted to get the first batch of wine barrels before returning to China, so he used the grapes in the demon refining pot to make wine.

However, of course, this matter could not be told to Ma Dan and his son, so Xiao Ping smiled and said: "Just like the two of you said, these oaks are very good, and with your exquisite craftsmanship, you will definitely be able to make the best wine barrel in the world." Of course, I have to collect a few such barrels, otherwise it will be a great pity. ”

The so-called "thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn", Xiao Ping's words made Ma Dan's father and son all smile. Although the time to make four barrels in ten days was very tight, Old Ma Dan pondered for a while and nodded and said: "Okay, you will be at the winery in twenty days, and I will guarantee that the barrels will be delivered on time!"

"Thank you very much!" Xiao Ping sincerely thanked Ma Dan and his son, and then waved goodbye to them.

This time, Xiao Ping was very efficient after arriving at the winery, and he solved all the things he had to do the next day. Of course, just because there are no problems at the winery doesn't mean that there are no problems elsewhere, and since there is nothing going on at the winery, he plans to go to the farm to have a look. This was bought by Xiao Ping for 40 million euros, and he hasn't seen it yet.

Xiao Ping, who had made up his mind, said goodbye to Hao Chau and the others and drove directly to the Normandy area.

From Provence to Normandy, it's almost like crossing the whole of France. Fortunately, France is not very large compared to China, and the road conditions are very good, which is not much for Xiao Ping, who often drives from Suzhou to the capital.

On the contrary, Xiao Ping also had the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of France along the way. Whether it is a verdant and quiet countryside or a small town full of history, Xiao Ping admires it very much.

Take a look along the way. Xiao Ping spent a day in the Upper Normandy region. As Pierre said, this is a famous agricultural and pastoral region in France. Both sides of the road are either farmland or pasture. It's winter now, and there's no crops in sight in the fields. But the grass hasn't withered yet. The pasture is still lush, divided into small pieces by scrubs and hedgerows, full of French countryside.

Xiao Ping contacted Pierre before leaving, and the two said that they would meet at the gate of the farm. Although it was Xiao Ping's first time here, he easily found his new property in France, thanks to Pierre's telephone directions and the good road conditions in the French countryside.

Ever since Xiao Ping injected money into the French branch, Pierre has invested heavily in renovating the farm. After months of hard work, the farm has been renovated. The road in front of the gate is flat and wide, and the gate of the farm has been rebuilt. The name of the farm is written in English and French respectively - Holy Pot Farm.

In addition to the road and the farm gate, other facilities on the farm have also been completely renovated. Not only have the existing facilities such as vegetable greenhouses, irrigation systems, and cattle pens been renovated, but also garages and small but very elaborate buildings have been added. There are several brand new farm machines parked in the garage, all of which are used on the farm.

Xiao Ping looked around the farm with great interest, and soon found that although it was similar to Lillian's Ranch in the United States, with both farmland and pasture, the two gave people a completely different feeling.

American ranches are as grand and uninhibited as western cowboys, while French farms have a little more European sophistication and subtlety, especially the tranquil countryside scenery that always calms the mood.

"Okay, old skin. You've made this place very good!" Xiao Ping was very satisfied with the Holy Pot Farm, looked at the large green pasture in front of him and praised: "It was really a wise decision to invite you to be the manager of the French branch in the first place!"

"I don't have a surname ...... Pi," the Frenchman protested as usual, and then quickly entered his role and asked Xiao Ping, "Do you have any other opinions about the farm?" While the farm is not officially operational, we have a chance to improve. ”

To be honest, Xiao Ping still felt that there were some areas of the farm that needed to be improved, so he immediately said to Pierre: "That's it." Tomorrow we will have the workers turn over all the grass that has been planted by hand, and we will plant a new batch of grass. ”

Pierre asked, puzzled, "Huh." What is this for? If you also grow alfalfa and ryegrass, which are the most suitable for the local area, you don't need to do that!"

Xiao Ping wouldn't tell Pierre. The grass seeds to be sown were specially treated by the Demon Refining Pot, which was very beneficial for raising livestock, and he just smiled slightly: "Anyway, I won't joke about my own farm, you just do it." ”

Since Xiao Ping had talked about this, Pierre naturally couldn't ask anything more, so he assigned the task that night. Early the next morning, the farm workers drove tractors to work and began to dig deep into the pasture, burying the original grass deep into the soil.

Xiao Ping went to the local farmers' market to buy grass seeds, soaked them overnight in the spring of the demon refining pot, and then gave them to the workers to sow seeds.

At first, even the farm workers were very puzzled by the boss's approach, which they saw as a complete futile work, a mere toss. Since no one understood Xiao Ping's approach, various rumors soon appeared. The most exaggerated statement is that because Xiao Ping is Chinese, out of a certain oriental tradition, he cannot tolerate the pasture grass planted by the previous owner on the farm, and he must grow it himself to count.

This absurd statement has actually been agreed by many people. So some people laughed at Xiao Ping behind his back, saying that this Chinese did not know how to run a farm at all, and the newly renamed Shengju farm would close down sooner or later, and everyone just had to wait to see a good show.

However, on the fifth day of Xiao Ping's arrival on the farm, the changes on the farm made these rumors disappear completely—the newly sown grass seeds sprouted.

"Xiao, Xiao, come out quickly!" Xiao Ping was still sleeping that morning, and was woken up by the excited Pierre.

Xiao Ping came out of the room sleepily and complained to the Frenchman dissatisfiedly: "I said Lao Pi, do you know that it is very rude to disturb people's dreams?"

At this time, Pierre was not in the mood to worry about his title with Xiao Ping, but said to him excitedly: "Do you know the way, the grass seeds sown on the first day have sprouted!"

This was originally expected by Xiao Ping, so he naturally wouldn't be surprised, and shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Of course the seeds sown will sprout, what's so strange about this?"

"But it's winter!" exclaimed, "The workers say it's a miracle that the grass seeds germinate this season! I finally understand why you insist on replanting the pasture, and that's why!

Xiao Ping said to the French: "Now I know why I did this, right? You tell everyone to hurry up and take care of all the pastures as soon as possible, so that you don't have to worry about the feed for those calves." ”

The calves in Xiao Ping and Pierre's mouths are those Wagyu calves that were shipped from American ranches and China, respectively. The calves had been loaded onto live animals and shipped to France very early on, having arrived at the port just a few days earlier. According to French law, imported animals must undergo a 10-day quarantine period before they can be released after it has been determined that they do not carry any disease. And the growth rate of these grasses is so gratifying that when the calves are transported to the farm after quarantine, they can eat the freshest grass.

Although Pierre was made a fuss about the grass, Xiao Ping seemed very calm, yawned and said to the Frenchman: "I woke up just for a few grasses, I really can't stand you!

"Wait a minute, Xiao!" Pierre stopped Xiao Ping, who was about to go back to the room, and asked him very seriously: "Why do these grasses grow so well? Shouldn't they be genetically modified grasses? If that's the case, even if the quality of the beef is more than one left, it won't be able to sell it at a good price!"

Xiao Ping was a little crying and laughing: "GMO? Don't be kidding. These grass seeds were bought only a few days ago, how can they become genetically modified after these few days, I don't have that much ability!"

Thinking that Xiao Ping was right, Pierre couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "It's not good, if you want to give cattle unapproved genetically modified pasture, our company will definitely suffer a huge fine, even if you have money, you can't support it, and I, the main person in charge of the French branch, may have to go to jail." ”

"Just put 10,000 hearts. Xiao Ping smiled and said to Pierre: "I promise that you will be more and more interesting as a manager, and you will never go to jail!"

"I'm relieved. Pierre breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "The EU is very tightly concerned about the issue of genetically modified organisms, and there must be no problems in this." ”

Knowing that the French are doing this for the good of the company, Xiao Ping also nodded seriously. Anyway, all these magical changes are created by the demon refining pot, and it has nothing to do with genetically modified or anything, so there is no need to worry about anything.

Over the next two days, the renovation of the pasture continued, and the seeds of the pasture that had been sown began to sprout, returning the pasture to a turquoise color. Word of the amazing growth of the grass at the Holy Pot Farm also spread, causing an uproar in the neighborhood and even attracting officials from the local agricultural department.

Officials from the Ministry of Agriculture came to the farm and offered to take some of the grass and grass seeds back for testing to make sure there were no genetically modified or any other violations.

Xiao Ping, of course, had no opinion on this, and allowed the two officials to take samples on the farm at will. The officials were very satisfied with Xiao Ping's cooperative attitude. They carefully took multiple samples and then decided to leave.

However, just as the officials were about to leave, Xiao Ping stopped them: "Please wait a minute, two of you!" (to be continued......
