Chapter 324: Offended?
The villagers of Mangrove Village gathered in the barren mountain, no, this nameless barren mountain has been called Huaguo Mountain by them, this name entrusts the villagers with the expectations and dreams of the orchard on the mountain, of course, out of Mangrove Village, whether it is in the township or the county, no one has yet recognized this name, that is, in the Mangrove Village, in fact, there is also a person who is secretly unhappy with this name
Of course, this person is Ao Tang, although Huaguo Mountain is indeed a good name, it is easy to think of Sun Monkey, and Sun Monkey is obviously the enemy of the Dragon Clan, in "Journey to the West", he first ran to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to beg for treasures, and then called the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas on the way to learn the scriptures, and also enslaved the little white dragon, and even more ferociously wiped out the Bibotan Ten Thousand Saints Dragon King and his dragon sons and grandsons!
Ao Tang also knows that "Journey to the West" is just a novel, and there may not really be a Sun Monkey in ancient times, but no matter what, standing in the position of the Dragon Clan, he naturally has no good impression of Sun Monkey, even if Ao Tang liked this role before he became the Dragon King of the Well, but now his ass decides his head, and even the name "Huaguo Mountain" is slandered, but since it is the common opinion of all the villagers in the village except him, he can only reserve his opinion.
Dong County in Tiannan Province county and district level economy ranking is behind, as an underdeveloped area, there are undeveloped barren mountains and wasteland, the villagers of Mangrove Village under the leadership of the village chief Xia Dali, open up the barren mountains to plant fruit trees, this year the orchard has been expanded to 1,500 acres, plans to four years later, the entire barren mountain and the surrounding wasteland are all developed, forming a 10,000 acres of orchards, so that the whole village gets rid of poverty and becomes rich.
However, not all of this year's 1,500 acres have been produced, of which 500 acres have been planted for several years. Since there is no shortage of water in Mangrove Village, these 500 acres have been produced, and another 200 acres have been transplanted for a year. There is still growth to be done.
But the 700 acres produced were all bumper, which has surprised everyone, but there are even more surprises. Xia Dali asked people to pick dozens of pears and oranges, peel and peel them, and the villagers shared and tasted them.
"Sweet and juicy!"
"Crispy and refreshing!"
"It smells good!"
"Look at the flesh. Snow white and delicate! ”
"This orange is good, it's sweeter than sugar!"
"No slag, no seed, no ......"
The villagers were pleasantly surprised, the orchard of Huaguoshan is not a high-grade fruit, it is just a common variety in the province, not to mention the previous few years, it is the fruit that was produced last year, and it is only average to eat, although it can be sold, but the price is also ordinary.
But this year, why did it suddenly become so sweet and sweet? God forbid. We've come to Mangrove Village for transshipment? Most of the villagers haven't eaten much high-end fruits, and they just think it's good, but like Xia Dali, he is a village head, and the Xia family is not short of money. I have been wandering again, and I have seen a lot, and I vaguely feel that the taste of those high-end fruits is nothing more than that, and it may not even be as good as ours.
The villagers began to talk about it:
"It's so strange, why is this year's fruit so delicious?"
"yes, that's not all. It is said that the varieties of our orchard have been planted for several years before, and they should be harvested at the end of July, but now that the middle of September has passed, I was worried that there would be problems, but I did not expect that it was nearly two months late, and it was like changing varieties. ”
"I wonder too, of course, it's a good thing that the fruit is so sweet now."
"Also, the two hundred acres of transplanting over there, it is said that this kind of transplanting will hurt the vitality of the fruit tree, generally there is a recovery period of more than a year, even if the fruit is hanging this year, it should be small and thin, green and unpalatable, I didn't expect to grow a big and sweet fruit. The remaining 800 acres should be three to four years before they can bear fruit, but according to the current growth rate of this fruit seedling, maybe it will be able to bear fruit in two years. ”…,
"It's really strange, village chief, this fruit seedling is really just an ordinary variety?"
Xia Dali was also full of doubts, this fruit seedling was purchased by him from the county agricultural bureau improved seed development company, considering the financial resources of most families in the village, he only bought low-grade ordinary fruit seedlings, could it be that the people of the improved seed development company were careless and sold high-quality fruit seedlings to them as ordinary fruit seedlings? But this can only explain the 800 acres of fruit seedlings, and can't explain the reason why the 700 acres of mature fruit trees suddenly become high-quality.
Not only Xia Dali, but most of the villagers also think in the direction of Xuanhu when they encounter things that cannot be explained.
"Could it be that the Dragon King Temple in Mangrove Village is really spiritual? As soon as this temple was rebuilt, our village immediately did not lack water, and in the middle, there was the Hong Kong master Hu who did more than half a year of rituals, which must have attracted the blessing of the dragon lord, maybe when we were not paying attention, it rained down, so that our orchard bore good fruits. ”
As soon as someone said this, many villagers immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, shouldn't we also go to the Dragon King Temple to worship, thank the Dragon King for his blessing." ”
Another villager muttered: "I also pondered that it must be the blessing of the Dragon King, you think, Ao Tang was lonely and miserable in the past, it must be because his family occupied the Dragon King Temple and offended the Dragon King, and later gave up the homestead and immediately developed." ”
Someone answered: "When you say this, it's really a bit like this, my kid works in the reservoir of Ao Tang, although Ao Tang has that secret tenfold high-yield technology, but my kid has never found ......"
"Ahem!" The man's wife suddenly coughed a few times, and the man thought about it, secretly glanced at the village chief, and stopped talking.
Ao Tang recruited 16 people in the village before and after, and the original four Zhang Xiaojun were recommended by Xia Dali, and they were all trustworthy, but the 12 people in the back were somewhat mixed, and it was impossible for the villagers to be simple. Some of them have worked hard to find the so-called tenfold technology, either preparing to open their own reservoir to replicate Ao Tang's success in the future, or they are secretly bought by Yunhao Group or other powerful people, that person's son is one of them, looking for it and not finding technology, so he wondered if there is no technology at all, just because Ao Tang got the blessing of the Jing Dragon King, Ao Tang gave up the homestead, so the Jing Dragon King is compensating him? What shit luck!
Xia Dali couldn't help but smile bitterly, he has knowledge and culture, believes in science and denies superstition, and does not believe in the Dragon King Temple, as for Master Hu, Xia Dali can see that it is purely a liar, and he has warned the villagers not to believe it before, but now that these things cannot be explained by science, it is no wonder that the villagers think in the direction of superstition. In particular, the emergence of whale disasters has caused a sharp increase in the number of superstitious people around the world.
In any case, a good harvest is a good thing, and it is even better to produce high-quality fruits, the villagers want to worship the dragon king, anyway, they have to continue to do things after worshipping, Xia vigorously arranged manpower, began to pick fruits, and contacted the market.
Three days later, the wholesaler who underwrote the fruits of Mangrove Village last year called Xia Dali: "Old Xia, I don't want it this year." He lowered his voice and asked, "Have you offended anyone?" ”
This headless and endless remark made Xia Dali scratch his head, but the wholesaler refused to say more when asked. If the wholesaler refuses to accept it, forget it, our fruit this year is so good, I am not afraid that it will not be sold!
But the next day, people from the quarantine station of the county agricultural bureau suddenly came.
"What? Quarantine? Xia Dali was dumbfounded, he had heard of fruit quarantine, but it was often imported and exported, for example, when the Philippine group of clowns came out to provoke our country, the country strengthened the import quarantine of Philippine bananas, which made Philippine banana farmers cry without tears.
Generally speaking, the fruits exported in China are also subject to strict quarantine, which is to prevent Europe and the United States and other countries from finding faults, but we have never thought of exporting them. Where do these troubles come from in the domestic market? And running so abruptly, it's obviously bullying, did you really offend someone?
Xia Dali was suddenly angry, the villagers are not easy to bully! (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
