Chapter 24: Pipa Town's Plans
When Wang, the deputy mayor of Pipa Town, who was in charge of agriculture, heard that Maoye Company, a leading enterprise in Jiangcheng City, was purchasing vegetables in the town, and with the hope of revitalizing the agricultural industry in Pipa Town, he decided to go to the countryside to see it himself.
More than ten years ago, Pipa Town was a famous grain-producing town and vegetable town in Qingxia County, and even the number one vegetable base in Jiangcheng City.
With the rise of industrial and technological industries in Jiangcheng City, the prices of grain and vegetables have continued to fall, and most of the young and strong labor force in Pipa Town have gone to work in the city or further away after graduating from junior high school, and farming has become the most unlikely option for young people.
Without the support of agriculture, the economy of Pipa Town (a subordinate town of Qingxia County) has also changed from one of the top 100 towns in Jiangyang Province (Jiangcheng City is the capital of Jiangyang Province) to the current economically backward town of Qingxia County (a subordinate county of Jiangcheng City). Every year when the county meets, the leaders of Pipa Town can't hold their heads up. Today's Pipa Town is like a seriously ill old man, without a little vitality, waiting for death.
At the bottom of the county for five consecutive years, the current leaders of Pipa Town have issued a military order to their superiors to revitalize the economy of Pipa Town.
Most of the farmland in the countryside of Pipa Town is deserted and uncultivated, and now there are people who have come to buy vegetables, which is strange for thousands of years.
Mayor Wang sat on the only bus in the town, and the old Jetta, which was more than 15 years old and drove 160,000 kilometers, to Jinghui Village, where Jiang Wei was located. The Jetta car is a symbol of the glory of Pipa Town, and now it is also old, and it often rings everywhere except for the engine that does not ring. The town had long wanted to replace the car, but the funds were insufficient, so he had to be overaged.
It was Jiang Wei who received Mayor Wang, who specially changed into a suit and put on leather shoes, straightened his chest and waited for the arrival of the Jetta car.
Mayor Wang's trip to the countryside this time is not known to the outside world, so there is also a grand welcome, and the establishment of Jinghui Village has been withdrawn, except for an old village party secretary, who else has nothing to do to join in the fun?
"Old Jiang, long time no see!"
"Mayor Wang, hello, welcome to Jinghui Village!"
After the two shook hands, they exchanged pleasantries and got to the point.
"I heard that your village has started a test field, and Fang Mao Company also sent someone to buy it?"
Unexpectedly, such a little thing reached the ears of the deputy mayor, and Jiang Wei's sense of accomplishment arose. couldn't hide his smug expression, and Lao Jiang began to brag: "This little thing is still for Mayor Wang to come in person, you call, I will go to the mayor to report to you." ”
Jiang Wei instantly found the feeling of being the village party secretary, "I reported to Mayor Wang, the situation is like this, the experimental field is now twenty acres, and the experimental fish pond is three acres. These are rented from the villagers at market rates. At present, we only choose to grow Chinese cabbage and radish, but with the demand of the market, we will definitely expand the scale, and strive to be able to reach 100 acres within two years and 10,000 acres within ten years. In addition to common vegetables and grains, we are also ready to try fruits, medicinal herbs, etc. ”
Planting fruits and medicinal herbs was what Jiang Wei heard from Shen Xiangcheng, anyway, they were all empty words such as 'plan' and 'preparation', and Lao Jiang first moved it out and then talked about it. To do things, the thunder must be loud, the movement must be loud, as for whether it rains or not, it is God's final say, and his old Jiang does not count.
Listening to Jiang Wei's report, Mayor Wang nodded from time to time, "It's not a big scale now, but a spark can start a prairie fire." Let's go, take me to see your test field. ”
The cabbage has been harvested, but the neat ridges and drainage ditches show that the twenty acres of land are not empty talk. And the white radish is still rooted in the field, and it will not be harvested until tomorrow, a green patch.
Mayor Wang's heart was touched at once, this scene was only seen more than ten years ago, when the whole town of Pipa was green, and every household grew vegetables and grain, hoping for a good harvest every year. And now? The farmland is barren, the irrigation canals are blocked, and it is desolate except for some vegetables for self-consumption in the self-reserved fields.
Mayor Wang laboriously plucked a radish from the ground, good fellow! The white radish is as thick as a big arm, and it is white and tender like a girl, so you can't help but peck at it.
It was not too dirty, and wiped the soil on the radish with the corner of his clothes, and Mayor Wang took a bite.
Crispy, crispy.
The fresh white radish comes out of the water, and if the mouth is sweet and moist, it will make people feel refreshed and cool in the hot summer.
"Good turnips!" As Mayor Wang, who is in charge of agriculture, he still has two brushes. Radish, one is to look at the shape, the second is to look at the moisture, and the third is to look at the taste.
The shape is perfectly rounded, indicating that the soil is fluffy and the radish grows evenly without pressure. Sufficient moisture and sweet taste indicate that the radish variety is good and the soil is fertile, and all three are indispensable.
Click, click.
Mayor Wang actually ate all the white radishes in three bites.
"It's been a long time since it's smelled like this!" Mayor Wang sighed.
In the end, he raised the question in his heart, "You made this experimental field yourself, how much money did you invest?" ”
Jiang Wei smiled and said, "Where do I have this ability, which is to work hard to earn some hard money." ”
Mayor Wang's heart suddenly sudden, "Could it be the boss from outside?" ”
Jiang Wei explained: "No, no, our village is poor and remote, and the roads are not good, where will there be a boss to invest here." It is a female college student in our village who returned to her hometown after graduating from college to start her own business. The seeds of these vegetables were all obtained by her from her classmates abroad, and they could not be bought in ordinary places. ”
Mayor Wang sensitively grasped three points of information, female college students, self-employment, and experimental fields.
He thought, can he take this as an opportunity to attract others to start their own businesses in the farmland, or maybe sell the high-quality vegetables in Pipa Town, attract outside funds to invest in Pipa Town, and revitalize the old vegetable base?
"Xiaohu." Mayor Wang shouted to the staff around him, "In a while, you will record the matter of the Jinghui Village Experimental Field in detail, and I will go back and make a special report to report to the county in detail." ”
Mayor Wang looked at the endless but mostly barren farmland and sighed: "Our Pipa Town is not a coward, let alone a soft egg!" Let's make a career and let other towns take a good look. The honor of the grain producing town and vegetable base is the legacy given to us by the older generation, and it cannot be destroyed in our hands! ”
At the end of the half-day inspection, Jiang Wei stuffed the cabbage that he was going to keep for himself into the Jetta car, and he pulled more than a dozen catties of fresh radishes from the ground for Mayor Wang to taste.
Mayor Wang is also not polite, his original intention is to take these high-quality vegetables out to promote and promote, so that a few farmhouses and restaurants with good relations in the county can taste what is a good vegetable pipa!
