Although Switzerland is a food-importing country, because Switzerland is the only direct communication window between the East and the West during the Berlin crisis, countries from all over the world have set up delegations here.

Regardless of the countries in the East and the West, there is no commercial embargo against Switzerland, so although the prices in Switzerland are a bit high, there is no shortage of materials.

In the case of the Soviet Union, for example, they had two trains a week dedicated to transporting supplies to Switzerland, of which only a small part of it was eaten by their delegations, and most of the rest went to the market in exchange for foreign currency.

Although Italy does not have enough food at home, it is hinted by the United States that even if it is hungry, it will give priority to providing food to Switzerland.

It wasn't dawn yet, but the Jonas Farm was already bustling with activity. The potatoes that could be harvested at the beginning of the month were deliberately placed in the ground by Zhou Nan for a long time, and only then were they directly pushed out by a tractor.

The men followed the tractor's bucket and quickly transferred the potatoes to the sides of the tractor, while the women simply shook the potatoes off the soil and put them in bags.

Kelly sells vegetables this year, these potatoes have not been sold, and about two acres of potatoes have been planted, and this time more than three tons can be harvested.

Except for a few that are kept for their own food, most of the rest are transported by truck to France by land and then by boat to London.

When potatoes are dug up, they need to be protected from direct exposure to the sun, which will affect the shelf life. So in general, potatoes are dug in the morning or evening.

The joy of a good harvest is the same for anyone, because they are people who rarely work, and it is inevitable that they will make some low-level mistakes, which will cause bursts of happy smiles.

Because the potatoes in the two acres of land were dug up mechanically, it only took half an hour to dig out all the potatoes in the sandy land. It was mainly to remove the soil and bag it, which was more time-consuming, but it took less than two hours to load the potatoes into a truck compartment.

On top of the potatoes, they also loaded half a cart of all kinds of vegetables in the vegetable garden, and all the cloaks behind the truck were stuffed, and everyone stopped satisfied.

Although these fresh vegetables cannot be stored for a long time, they are also a good choice for gifts. Many of the vegetables grown in Zhou Nan's family are varieties from the East, and in terms of taste, they are more delicious than European vegetables.

Zhou Nan often works in the vegetable garden for a while in the morning, picking vegetables and weeding, so he doesn't feel tired doing this work.

But not for the others, and Etinny seldom did farm work, and just now he had been bending down to pick up potatoes, and he flashed to his waist, and now he couldn't straighten his waist.

The crowd laughed at Etinny as they washed their hands. It's summer vacation, and Ettynny's two children and his wife have come to play on the farm.

The two little ones are the elder brother and the younger sister are very cute. At this time, they didn't have the heart to laugh at Ettinney, which made Ettinney feel extremely shameless.

Zhou Nan attaches great importance to this capable assistant, and this time Stolko will not go out with him, and the general Etinny will not be injured.

He took Etinny to the main mansion and made him take off his shirt and lie on the couch. Zhou Nan massaged him for a while, screamed at him, and then put a piece of tiger bone paste on his injured area.

"This time you go to the UK, you have to rest for two days, and when you go out, let Si ...... Fayward would be fine with me. ”

Fayward and Slooney are also the targets of Zhou Nan's focus on training now, and their abilities are also good, but Fayward is tighter.

"What kind of ointment is this? Why do I feel like it's burning here, the heat goes straight into my body along the ointment? ”

"This is an ointment made from tiger bones, and it's precious." Zhou Nan handed him a few more pieces of ointment. "Put these away, I'm afraid one won't be able to heal your waist."

Etinny's youngest daughter wanted to pick it up, but was quickly stopped by Etinny. "Baby, this can't be played, you go play with your brother."

Audrey washed some tomatoes and cucumbers and brought them over. "Vinicia, come to Auntie's side to eat fruit."

Slooney walked in from outside. "Jonas, the vegetables are ready, we're ready to go, is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"I'm fine here, you guys should be safe on the road."

This time, the Swiss delegation also brought their own dry food to participate in the Olympic Games. Moreover, the number of athletes in Switzerland far exceeds that of athletes in South China and China, so the vegetables and flour that need to be transported to the UK are more than those prepared by Zhou Nan.

Clooney escorted the convoy to the Swiss convoy, which was much easier to get in and out of customs.

After they set off, Zhou Nan and his group of more than ten people, after lunch, went to the train station to take the train to Zurich.

On this trip, Kelly also followed. She hadn't seen her home in England yet, so she went to see it this time.

There is also one more player in the team, Rotentum, who has never liked to go out, and she is willing to go to London with her this time, not because she wants to go to London to see it, but because her brother, who is still in college, also participated in this year's Olympics.

Her brother is a talented kayaker who has won several national and European titles, but this is his first Olympic Games, so Rottentum's sister went to London to cheer him on.

Zhou Nan is also considering whether he will take out a bonus to sponsor athletes from Nanhua, China and Switzerland.

Swiss athletes do not have any state subsidies, most of them are amateurs, and only after a certain number of achievements will there be some meager subsidies, which is far lower than the current minimum income of 200 Swiss francs in Switzerland.

So most of the athletes just take sports as a hobby, like Rotentum's younger brother, who has won two domestic championships and one European championship, and now the monthly allowance is only about 150 Swiss francs, just enough to eat, and he needs the support of his family to live.

Later in life, Federer won the tennis championship and rewarded a cow, giving him the nickname Cow.

And the Olympic gold medalist was rewarded with a pig, and he was very happy.

This is a world of difference compared to winning a gold medal in China with a car, a house, a ticket, and a girl.

It's not that Switzerland doesn't value sports, they just don't value competitions. Big fat people are popular in Europe and the United States, but the Swiss are generally thin because they exercise almost universally.

They believe that sports are beneficial to them, and they do not need additional bonuses or special state funding support at all.

And Britain is similar, their Olympic gold medalists also don't have a penny of prize money, and the United States has very little prize money, and the more countries that don't pay attention to sports, the higher the prize money.

I boarded the plane from Zurich, and just over an hour later, the plane landed at Heathrow Airport.

The athletes' village is located in Richmond Park, not far south of the airport, which is the second largest city park in the world and four times the size of New York's Central Park.

London is getting more polluted now, and Kelly gets off the plane and can't stand the heat and pungent smell. "Oh my God, are we here for the garbage heap?"

Melissa had been to London once before, and now during the summer vacation, although Nord did not come, she was relieved to let Melissa come to London with them to play.

"Aunt Kelly, London is meant to be a garbage dump. Poor British, no wonder they love to travel so much. ”

Rotentum even complained: "It's a terrible place, I don't think I'll ever come here again." ”

Although they are disappointed in London, they are very satisfied with Zhou Nan's home in London.

This is a real ancient castle, which is also very consistent with Zhou Nan's current identity. Although the main house in Jonas Farm is not bad, it is at most the size of a country holiday house, and it is completely incomparable to this mansion.

When Zhou Nan settled down, he took Etinny to the villa next door, and this ancient castle was also bought by Zhou Nan, and was given to Nanhua by Zhou Nan, becoming the British Embassy in Nanhua.

When the embassy was first established, there were only ten staff members in total, including Ambassador Hou Cong. However, this is only the beginning, and now that South China and the UK have close economic and trade exchanges, more talents will be needed to join in the future.

There were ten of them, and they only took advantage of the two floors below, and the upper two floors were empty. However, at Zhou Nan's suggestion, they have already renovated the third and fourth floors, opening up the upper two floors into guest rooms.

In the future, government officials and economic and trade delegations from South China can live here, and they can also charge a certain fee to increase their office expenses.

Although this house was given to them by Zhou Nan, the property rights were still in their hands.

Whether it is Nanhua who buys it when he has money in the future, or sets up the embassy in other places, the value of this house will rise amazingly in the future, and there is no market.

Zhou Nan inquired about several major projects of cooperation between Nanhua and the United Kingdom, and Hou Cong certainly knew the importance of Zhou Nan, so he told him everything clearly without concealment.

When he came back from next door, he learned that he had come to London, and there was a lot of invitations from home. In addition to these invitations, there were also two guests in the house.

One is Marita, who has been looking forward to Audrey's arrival for a long time, and as soon as Audrey arrived, she couldn't wait to come over and play with Audrey.

The other is Zheng Tianxi, who is now the British ambassador, who came to discuss the arrangements for the athletes with Zhou Nan.

The impact of the civil war was not only at home, but also at these embassies abroad. Many embassies have been cancelled because there is no money to allocate funds.

Although the British embassy has not been abolished, it has not paid salaries for several months. Zhou Nan knew that they were in a bad situation now, but he did not expect such an embarrassment, and promised that he would leave some of the rice and vegetables from Switzerland from Nanhua this time, and wrote a cheque for 5,000 pounds to Ambassador Zheng.

If this money is saved a little, just by paying salaries, it will allow them to last until the end of next year.

At that time, the embassy will also have to change its name and surname, and they should also be laid off.
