After Black Lotus became a reborn person, he went completely crazy

"Xia Ran, are you serious?"

Secretary Wang was so happy that she didn't know what to say. She had been to some villages in the mountains. People lived on the top of the mountain, but had to fetch water from the bottom of the ditch.

The paths are all steep and winding, and some sections are almost 60 or 70 degrees. Carrying a load of water takes nearly 40 to 50 minutes round trip, and that's for a strong laborer who doesn't stop.

Anyone who raises livestock at home will need several loads of water a day, and just getting water every day is a big project.

The key point is that there is not much water in the ditches in many places. We can only scoop up the muddy water and wait for it to settle overnight before using it. There are also many small insects in the water.

My scalp tingles whenever I think of Secretary Wang.

She had just come here and it was her first time to go to the countryside. She couldn't eat for many days because she couldn't help thinking about the little insects swimming around and the fishy taste of the water.

"Of course it's true, otherwise how could I lie to you? I just don't know if we can dig a well in winter. The ground is frozen now."

"Yes, yes, yes, let's dig now. Only the surface is frozen. The ground below one meter is fine. Now is the best time to dig a well. Everyone is hibernating and has nothing to do. All the strong laborers who went out to work have returned. The village has no shortage of laborers. Let's dig now."

Secretary Wang was afraid that Xia Ran would suddenly change her mind. Although she felt that it was a bit immoral to take advantage of Xia Ran alone, the wool was too fragrant and she could not resist the temptation.

It had to be implemented immediately, so he said directly: "You just need to be responsible for providing cement and bricks. I will find two people who can look at the site, and then we can start the work. If the common people don't know how to dig a well, don't let them dig it themselves. They have nothing to do anyway."

Xia Ran: "Okay, let's send the Buddha to the west. I will be responsible for providing the windlass and well ropes, and leave the rest to them."

"Xia Ran, this is already very, very good. You have already paid for all the expenses. What's left is just some physical work. We are digging a well for their own village. Don't worry, this is a great thing. They are running away more anxiously than anyone else."

"Well, let me know once you've finalized the budget, and I'll have someone send the money to you."

Finally, Secretary Wang mentioned, "Starting next year, our township will select several villages as apple planting demonstration sites. It is not possible to promote it to the whole township at present. The risk is too great. The higher-ups do not agree. Your village is on the list. So, how are the apples you brought there selling?"

"This is a good thing. It's okay. Take your time. One or two steps won't do. The apples I brought here are selling very well. However, Secretary Wang, I sell red and yellow bananas at a higher price than Red Fuji. So, don't just plant Red Fuji. Plant more of these two kinds of apples, red and yellow bananas. Moreover, the feedback here is also good. They are very popular among the elderly and children.

Speaking of this, I should call Director Niu. I have ordered the apples from their township for next year. I almost forgot, Secretary Wang, how is your relationship with the secretary of Chengchuan Township? Are you familiar with them? I want to order peaches from their township in advance.

I want both early-ripening peaches and autumn peaches, as well as the crisp pears from their village. I remember that the newly planted pears on the mountain in their village have also started to bear fruit this year. If possible, please ask for me in advance. As for the price, it can be based on the market price next year. Don't worry, I won't deliberately lower the price of agricultural products."

Secretary Wang immediately replied: "I know the secretary of their township well. Don't worry, we are colleagues. I will contact him for you." Such a good thing would be something she would know well even if she was not familiar with him, and what's more, she was really familiar with him.

Last time, because of the carpet collection incident, she gained special credibility in front of other secretaries. Some people from other townships later heard the news and called her, asking her to act as a middleman.

Last time, Xia Ran collected a lot of blankets, enough to sell for a long time. This time, Xia Ran didn’t even mention it. She probably didn’t mention it because they weren’t sold out yet.

After Xia Ran hung up the phone, she called Gui Niang again and asked her to take some time out in the next two days to send some money to Secretary Wang.

After Xia Ran finished talking with Gui Niang, the phone came to Director Min, who said vaguely that he agreed and agreed to work with Xia Ran.

But it will take some time, he will try to find a way to get a medical retirement. If you get a medical retirement now, there will be little pension, but it is better than nothing.

Xia Ran then called Director Niu, who was naturally very happy after hearing the news. As a small director of a carpet factory, who would have thought that he could earn extra money.

His main business of carpets has almost become a side business.

As they talked, they came to the topic of the taste of apples. Xia Ran suddenly remembered and suggested, "I almost forgot. Some people here put bags on apples. Putting apples in bags when they are still small can prevent pests and diseases, fruit rust, and hail. When the apples are ripe, take off the bags, and they will be easy to color. Not to mention the beautiful color, the key is that the skin is thin, so it tastes better and has a better taste."

"What does this fruit bag you're talking about look like?"

Xia Ran described it again. Director Niu on the other end of the phone listened very carefully and promised that he would contact someone to try to make a part of it first.

If it is really as Xia Ran described, it is indeed a very good idea. What do fruit farmers fear the most, besides various diseases and insect pests, is hail. If hail comes, all the work of the year will be in vain.

The most feared thing before fruiting is late spring cold, and the most feared thing after fruiting is hail.

"Okay, I will take it seriously, don't worry." Director Niu repeatedly assured that he must get the matter done. He would be the first person to try this, and the benefits would be huge.

What's more, the township where Xia Ran lives will also promote the planting of fruit trees starting next year. The fruit seedlings will be provided by their township for a fee, but the planting technology will be provided free of charge, and they promise to teach everyone step by step.

The two townships provide one-on-one support.

If this fruit bag thing is really useful, there will be no worries about sales.

As for Xia Ran teasing him or lying to him, Director Niu never thought about it that way, because the other party had no need to lie to him and there was no need to lie to him.

The fact that she can verbally place an order for next year's apples now means that the apples they took away must have been sold at a high price and she made money, otherwise she wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

It is better to sell them at a good price, which is a virtuous cycle. What fruit farmers fear most is that they cannot sell them at a good price and all the fruits will rot in the fields.

You can't really feed apples to pigs. It's acceptable to feed fallen apples to pigs, but you'll be punished by God if you feed good apples to pigs.

Afterwards, Xia Ran sent another batch of chicken and eggs to her own store, and also brought a few rabbits with her to test the waters first, but the quantities were not large.

Taking advantage of the fact that today was not too busy, Xia Ran called Director Liao and arranged a meeting time after get off work.

This time, Xia Ran prepared two old hens weighing four or five kilograms, two plates of eggs, two rabbits, two sheep heads, and a piece of particularly fat meat weighing about five kilograms.
