【Chapter 197】 Sowing Hope
The weather is gradually getting colder, and the pace of the Spring Festival is slowly approaching, but the cold air cannot extinguish the enthusiasm in the hearts of the villagers of Liang Village. Liu Rui's success story is like a huge monument erected in the minds of the villagers.
The villagers will not know that Liu Rui's success is more due to the support of Space Spring Water in addition to his personal efforts. The villagers just saw that Liu Rui had great success by planting small tomatoes and created an unimaginable fortune.
For farmers living in rural areas, they are usually very cautious without much knowledge, but once they have identified their goals, they will burst out with eye-catching passion and high efficiency. Many villagers have begun to think about where to plant tomatoes, where to start with the funds and fertilizers that need to be invested in the tomato fields.
Perhaps, people are always a complex contradiction.
It is precisely because of such different emotions that the world is so colorful, rather than a lifeless black and white world.
In order to cope with the endless stream of villagers who came to Liu's house for consultation, Liu Rui had to ask Zhou Guodong and Huang Xingye to come to Liang Village with staff in advance to do a good job of propaganda for the villagers.
Zhou Guodong, who used to work in the Agricultural Bureau, has a good network in the Agricultural Bureau, and he was able to obtain a title of 'new technology training in the countryside' from the Agricultural Bureau, and came to Liangcun justifiably.
Of course, before that, Zhou Guodong had to make a record in Qingyun Town, in order to obtain legal publicity and sales qualifications. The tiger skin of the agricultural bureau and the town government axe was only to enhance the persuasiveness of the 'rich peasant seed store' and gain more trust from the villagers.
This practice was very common in the rural areas at this time, and agricultural operators such as seed merchants and pesticide merchants often intentionally or unintentionally borrowed the names of many political axe departments to carry out various commercial activities in the rural areas. Everyone is also commonplace, and there is nothing strange about it.
However, with the passage of time, this kind of side-kicking behavior has been greatly curbed, and the political axe department will easily not intervene in commercial activities, so as not to affect the judgment of the masses. After all, in the minds of ordinary people, the credibility of the political axe department is still quite strong.
Before Liu Rui, Zhou Guodong had promoted the seeds of small tomatoes for more than half a year, but the high price and unknown prospects have always made Zhou Guodong's promotion work difficult. finally said that Liu Rui planted two acres of land, but Zhou Guodong was more nervous than Liu Rui. Zhou Guodong was afraid that Liu Rui's planting failure, on the one hand, would cause Liu Rui's investment in capital, manpower, and material losses, and on the other hand, it would bring more negative effects to his own seed promotion.
In the past few months, Zhou Guodong has come to Liangcun whenever he has time, in order to keep abreast of the growth of tomatoes and find a factual basis for future promotion. However, before the tomatoes were ripe, all the growth records were water duckweed, and there were no roots at all.
It wasn't until Liu Rui's small tomatoes ripened and sold that Zhou Guodong's heart that had been hanging in his heart finally fell into his stomach safely.
Liu Rui not only planted successfully and obtained a bumper harvest, but also sold it at a high price, all of which became a vivid example that could impress the hesitant and wandering villagers.
Now with Liu Rui's demonstration field, coupled with the shortage of tomatoes in the market, Zhou Guodong is confident that he will push the tomatoes to more farmers, increase the income of farmers, and create more profits for himself.
After all, Zhou Guodong is a businessman, and it is understandable to chase profits in business.
Therefore, when Liu Rui found Zhou Guodong and asked him to cooperate with Huang Xingye, Zhou Guodong agreed without hesitation. With Huang Xingye's guaranteed acquisition, the biggest concerns of the villagers can be dispelled, and I believe it will be easier to promote.
In this world, you can't just rely on yourself to win the world, and achieving a win-win situation with others is the highest state that every businessman pursues.
After that, Zhou Guodong began to contact the manufacturer of tomato seeds, a science and technology company under the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and asked them to quickly send technicians to conduct relevant training for farmers.
After all, Zhou Guodong is just the owner of a seed shop, although he can treasure the products in the store, but it is still a little short for him to train the villagers. When he first said that Liu Rui planted small tomatoes, he threw the technical information to Liu Rui for Liu Rui's own reference.
However, now that more villagers are being fought, this extensive management method has long been out of line with the requirements of the situation. Not all farmers are high school graduates like Liu Rui, who have strong understanding and hands-on ability, and can find a set of effective management methods just by looking at the information.
In order to enable the villagers to master the detailed planting management techniques, Zhou Guodong had to invite the manufacturer's technicians to come to Liang Village to teach the villagers the planting techniques of small tomatoes through teaching videos and simple materials.
The arrival of the technicians has made the enthusiasm of the villagers of Liang Village to grow small tomatoes much higher, and almost every household has people flocked to the small hall in the village to listen to the lectures.
Before the technicians arrived in Liang Village, the villagers of Liang Village wanted to plant small tomatoes, but they had no bottom in their hearts. Although Liu Rui also wants to explain the detailed planting techniques to the villagers, Liu Rui is alone, and in the face of so many blind dates, he is really lacking in skills. After all, in addition to the tomato field, Liu Rui also has a large number of industries, and he is very busy every day.
Besides, not all the villagers will believe what Liu Rui said, even if Liu Rui gives him all his money, maybe some people will think that Liu Rui is hiding his secrets.
There are hundreds of people, and there are thousands of strange things!
Liu Rui could not ask all the villagers to believe his words, in order to avoid the villagers from being angry with him after the failure of planting small tomatoes in the future, Liu Rui still adhered to the attitude of saying less, and easily did not say some conclusive words. Even if the villagers ask too much, they will communicate with the villagers with the practice of technical information.
After all, compared with the planting conditions of ordinary villagers, the biggest difference between Liu Rui and the space spring water is that he has a space spring, which makes many of Liu Rui's management measures not necessarily suitable for the conditions of other villagers. To put it bluntly, even if Liu Rui doesn't manage it very well, as long as the tomatoes are moistened by the spring water in the space, they will definitely be able to grow the tomatoes well.
Technicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences split the various techniques of tomato cultivation and held classes in the small hall in turns, where villagers could choose the parts they had not heard of and then have a comprehensive understanding.
Fortunately, now that the Spring Festival is approaching, the villagers have a lot less farm work on hand, and they have a lot of free time. In this way, from morning to evening, the small hall was crowded with peasants and even villagers from other villages.
During this period of time, Liu Rui's deeds of harvesting 100,000 yuan of two acres of land have spread like wings, and instantly spread to every village in Qingyun Town. The villagers were surprised and envious, but they were also ready to move, Liu Rui planted it, why couldn't they plant it?
Liu Rui, who was in it, didn't know that the sensation he caused had rushed out of Liang Village and spread all over the country. In the past, the people in other villages did not know Liu Rui as a whole, at most they knew that the eldest son of Liu's winery had dropped out of school and returned home to farm, but the specific situation was not clear. After all, after Liu Rui went home, he shuttled through various towns and villages in Qingyun all day to deliver wine, and some people knew him.
Now it's different, Liu Rui has become a man of the year almost overnight, and the villagers will talk about tomato planting after dinner, so it is inevitable to talk about Liu Rui. It can be said that Liu Rui is now equal to the star idol in the minds of most villagers in Qingyun, if the Liu family goes out and says that Liu Rui is looking for a partner. What is certain is that the threshold of the Liu family must have been broken by the matchmakers in ten miles and eight towns.
However, Liu Rui is naturally not very clear about this, and he will not be able to understand, after all, he still has a lot of things on hand.
Zhou Guodong and Huang Xingye are responsible for the planting and promotion of small tomatoes, and Liu Rui just did a little bit of threading the needle in the early stage. As for the subsequent work and the signing of various agreements, there is nothing for him to do.
Leaving the matter of the little tomato behind, Liu Rui began to cooperate with Jiang Tao to improve the landscape construction part of the grain station, strive to rectify the external environment of the grain station before the Spring Festival, and wait until the Chinese New Year to carry out the decoration of the exterior wall and interior.
Before dawn that day, Liu Rui quietly came out of his house and entered the valley behind the Liu family's compound by the bright moonlight in the sky. Here, there is the longan garden, which used to place a lot of hopes on the Liu family, and there are also various fruit tree seedlings that Liu Rui planted this autumn.
The clear moonlight poured down like mercury, coating each fruit tree with a silvery glow, which was intoxicating. The morning breeze blows slightly from the mountains, swaying the branches and making a rustling sound.
There wasn't much fog in the mountains this morning, only the green blue swirled between the valleys, creating the whole valley like a fairyland.
Liu Rui walked through the newly planted fruit trees, and then through the longan garden, and came to the place where he cultivated the saplings of the dove tree.
At the beginning, in order to test the growth of the dove tree under the action of the space spring, Liu Rui specially opened up several acres of land in the valley, and planted the seedlings transplanted from the depths of the small green mountain. However, Liu Rui only planted some dove seedlings sporadically on it, and most of the reclaimed land was still abandoned, and it was already overgrown with weeds.
Liu Rui came here this morning just to get rid of these weeds, and then dig some tree pits, so that this is the base for cultivating the seedlings of the dove tree. As for the real dove seedlings, most of Liu Rui had to be taken out of the space and then sent to the grain station.
In short, Liu Rui is here to cheat today. Not only today, since he told Jiang Tao about providing seedlings for dove tree, Liu Rui has begun to implement this somewhat unbelievable action. Whenever he had spare time, Liu Rui took advantage of the unpreparedness of people to quietly enter the hinterland of the valley and start his own vigorous fraud plan.
Anyway, to enter the valley, you need to pass through the Longyan Garden, as long as Liu Rui locks the door of the Longyan Garden, no one will notice Liu Rui's movements.
When I came to the land where the dove trees were planted, the only dozen or so dove trees in it had already been dug up by Liu Rui and placed in the space. In the Shennong space, hundreds of dove tree saplings are neatly arranged, waiting for Liu Rui to take them out and transplant them to the grain station.
What Liu Rui has to do is to make this plot look like he has just dug up hundreds of dove seedlings, and show others that it is really like that. Otherwise, he really had no way to explain where these hundreds of dove trees came from?
In the bright moonlight in the sky, Liu Rui hummed a song and brandished a hoe and shovel, and began to fake according to his plan. Liu Rui is also in a good mood, anyway, as long as the scene is done enough, no one will get to the bottom of it.
When the scene was almost done, Liu Rui called it a day and returned to the front yard, taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dawn, and placed the hundreds of dove trees in the space on the courtyard dam.
After dawn, Liu Rui's family, the workers who came to help the winery, and the villagers who visited the tomato field were a little surprised by the saplings that suddenly appeared on the courtyard dam.
Because of the scarcity of dove tree seedlings, most people do not know them, so the focus of discussion is only on the varieties and uses of these saplings. As for how they appeared here so quickly? It's not a concern for people.
Even the eccentric Xiao Tongtong was perfunctory by Liu Rui's reason of "moving out of the back mountain overnight".
This is also because these dove tree saplings have only been growing for a few months, and the trunk of the largest one is not as thick as a broom, which is very small and quite easy to carry. If it is replaced by the kind of saplings that have grown for two or three years, I am afraid that Liu Rui's excuse is that three-year-old children will not be able to accept it.
After dawn, Liu Rui called Jiang Tao and asked him to send a car and workers to receive the dove to the grain station and start planting today.
In the mobile phone, Jiang Tao was really a little surprised by Liu Rui's high efficiency, and he was busy bringing the workers and driving a car to receive it.
"Xiao Rui, your movements are really fast, I said earlier that I would find workers to help you." While the workers were carrying the saplings to the truck, Jiang Tao said with some emotion.
"Hehe, anyway, I'm used to farm work, and these hundreds of small saplings can't stop me!" Liu Rui scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Anyway, the tree pits over there at the grain station have been dug, so you can take advantage of today's cloudy day to plant them all!" ”
"There's no problem with this!" Jiang Tao nodded and said, "After you told me that day, I had already asked the workers to dig a tree pit at the designated location, and purchased enough farm fertilizer at the villagers' homes!" ”
Jiang Tao is also a doer, after Liu Rui mentioned the matter of dove planting to him, he did not slack off, and his actions were quite fast.
In the landscape planning and design of the entire grain station, there are quite strict regulations on the location and shape of roads, buildings, lawns and landscape trees. As a top designer, Jiang Tao hopes to use his imagination and inspiration to perfectly integrate the various landscapes in the grain station with the surrounding natural environment through organic combination. For this reason, the beautiful and generous and scarce number of dove trees has become the most important finishing touch in the whole design.
At the beginning, Jiang Tao wanted to use the osmanthus tree as the main landscape tree of the grain station, after all, the osmanthus tree is also an excellent landscape tree species. In Jiang Tao's imagination, the grain station can be turned into a 'osmanthus garden', which can be filled with an elegant and warm fragrance of osmanthus in autumn, which is also a good choice.
However, when the dove appeared, Jiang Tao's design concept changed, and the landscape tree species were mainly placed on the dove tree, supplemented by osmanthus trees, camphor trees, pine and cypress, magnolia trees and other tree species, ready to create a green world dominated by dove tree.
"Brother Jiang, I am naturally relieved that you are doing things!" Liu Rui has no objection to this.
Liu Rui is not good at landscape design, and he is self-aware and will not criticize Jiang Tao's design plan because he is the major shareholder of 'Ruilan Company'. All Liu Rui can do is to create a better creative environment and relaxed conditions for Jiang Tao as much as possible, and do his best to meet various requirements in design and construction.
Taking out the dove tree that he cultivated in the space and transplanting it into the grain station is also a manifestation of Liu Rui's support for Jiang Tao's work.
After a while, the workers quickly loaded the saplings into the pickup truck and drove in the direction of the grain station. Liu Rui rode a motorcycle with Jiang Tao to follow behind, and they exchanged views on some situations at the grain station along the way.
As for Liu Zhi and Tongtong, after waking up in the morning, they had already consciously ridden their bicycles to the vegetable field of the pig farm to help. In Liu Rui's view, no matter how intense the study is, you should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, so that there is movement and quiet.
Letting the two of them help out at the vegetable patch every morning is a great way to relax their nerves that have been tense at school and to exercise. In addition, as a child of a peasant family, you must at least go through the baptism of labor in order to have a strong surname quality, and you can have more bearing capacity in school and society in the future.
Liu Rui was trained by his parents in this way before, and now every time he looks back on the past, Liu Rui feels very happy. Therefore, Liu Rui will not be too pampered for the management of his two younger siblings, he has to do what he has to do, and it will always be beneficial for people to exercise more.
Liu Zhi's surname is quieter than Liu Rui, and he naturally has no opinion on such exercise; Don't look at Tongtong is usually very naughty, but in the face of Liu Rui's arrangement, she will also complete it to the letter. In the past few months, Liu Jiahong has gradually let go of Liu Rui's family affairs, and in the hearts of Liu Zhi and Tongtong, the eldest brother Ruo's father feels more and more serious, and he naturally respects Liu Rui.
In the early morning of Liang Village, everyone has their own thing to do, and the cold wind cannot extinguish people's enthusiasm. Winter is already at its coldest moment, so, is it far from spring?
Liu Rui's planting of the dove tree in the grain station today also represents the hope of planting the coming year!
