Song Sancheng’s pride is so obvious, but the leading director of a small 18th-tier city is actually not too...
But he didn’t know much about agriculture. When he checked [Hou Ji Selection] online, he couldn’t help but fell silent.
Song Sancheng said that this award is like cabbage, but it is actually an event that countless agricultural companies across the country are trying to enter, and everyone is vying to win the heavyweight award.
If it were any other agricultural research institute or farm, the flowing water mats would have been set up for three days, or the award certificate would have been framed high and publicized at every step.
but…
The Song family is really insensitive.
Professor Song originally asked them to participate in the selection because it would be more convenient for future rural development.
Houji's selection actually focused more on the continuity of seedlings, but after squatting on the mountain for more than half a year, he has discovered that this quality cannot be replicated.
As for the continuation of the optimization of seedlings, the results are still in Yanran’s strawberry fields on the mountain.
But this output cannot be supplied to the whole country, and there is no hope for the whole world. He didn't care about money or fame. Song Tan was not willing to go abroad to run for elections, so he didn't persuade him.
Now in Song Sancheng's place, it's probably just ordinary to just go and get an award so casually.
Under the illumination of the street lamp, there was a sincere and clear question on his face.
Director: “…”
Anyway, the director was silent on this question, and he was speechless for a long time. Song Sancheng was pleased with it:
“When are you coming to shoot? Can I come and see you during the shooting?”
That was filming, something he had never seen before!
“If there are a lot of people, we don’t want to litter. Our pigs, cattle and sheep are very expensive, so it’s hard to pay for them.”
“I heard that you are going to fry water splashes in the water, Lao Gao. Can I make a trill when you fry them?”
“Where are you guys going to stay? My nephew and son-in-law’s B&B will be built in April. Can you stay there?”
Director:…
“Yeah, yeah, yeah.”
“Okay, okay.”
“Don’t worry.”
“Easy to talk about.”
When they finally returned to the dormitory, even if they were assigned bunk beds, the three old men heaved a sigh of relief.
At Lao Song's house, Party Secretary Xiao Zhu was wandering around to eat while calling the owners of the land that the director had taken a liking to today:
"Hello, Zhao Mingxia's family? Are you going to plant the two-thirds of land at the east end of your village this year? If not, will you rent it out?"
“It’s a three-month lease, and the price hasn’t been negotiated yet. Of course, the price of two to three hundred per acre will definitely be stable..."
“What do you mean it’s unnecessary and not worth it? You don’t plant it there, so 600 yuan is not money?”
“Do you want to rent? If you don’t want to rent, I will ask someone else. If you want to rent, come back tomorrow and sign a contract...”
"Is it from Zhang Youliang's family? At the east end of the village, I estimate that the three abandoned fields of your family are a little more than an acre. Can you rent them out?"
“The price is not much, but it’s still worth it…”
"Chen Yun's home, right? The land at the east end..."
The land the director was looking for was not very big, about twenty or thirty acres. But scattered in the village, in their hilly area, it must not be owned by one person to be able to scrape together such a large flat field.
Xiao Zhu’s branch secretary has to communicate with each other. Fortunately, she has been in the village for more than a year and has done a lot of practical things. Whether it is electrical renovation or road construction, she is always there, so most of the villagers are still convinced.
Even though many people now live in the city, this is my hometown after all, and at least it has a reputation.
These 10 or so phone calls ranged from soft to hard, and each family had a different temper and attitude.
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Zhu, the party secretary, also asked:
“Only our family knows about the director coming to see the scene. Song Tan, please tell your staff and don’t tell anyone.”
“If you tell me, it will be difficult to talk about it.”
Song Tan nodded, understanding in his heart.
There are still some small households that have been demolished. Although the rent for the land is only three melons and two dates, there are still some people who want to make more money.
But it happened that the crew wanted an entire place for filming, and if they couldn't negotiate it together, they had no choice but to give it up.
Of course, Xiaozhu’s talk about secretary fees is not because of the rent, but because once the land is rented out, someone has to dig it out, and if there is talent, someone has to maintain it.
Every household in the village is now working for the old Song family, but once the busy farming season is over, the work is not available every day. Why not find ways to generate income for them?
So, even though Song Tan thought the crew was troublesome, she didn't mind it at all.
She has to successfully rent out these twenty or thirty acres of land!
Besides, people are really willing to rent it for three months to grow grass. Normally, this land costs two to three hundred yuan an acre, but no one wants to rent it for a year!
There is no village in front and no store in the back, and irrigation is inconvenient. Moreover, it’s very difficult to deal with your boss’s and mine’s with the west’s.
Obviously it is in the village, but seeing that the Song Tan family never picks these lands, we know that it is really difficult to manage.
Now that it can be used for a purpose, even if it can only bring you a thousand yuan in income, Party Secretary Xiao Zhu will not let it go.
Moreover, this is not the only thing she has to be busy with.
"How are your vegetable seedlings growing? When will the busy schedule at home end?"
Song Tan thought for a while: "There are thirty acres of land on the mountain dedicated to cultivating vegetable seedlings. Once this crop of vegetables is harvested, it will be replenished immediately. It happened to be more than enough for what we promised to sell to the villagers."
“As for when the busyness will end...the fruit trees on the mountain have been planted, fertilization and weeding have been done, and the tea trees, sunflowers, mugwort and wild chrysanthemums on the stone slopes have also sprouted..."
She did the math: "When the vegetables are harvested and the vegetable seedlings are replanted, it will basically be over - but these are slow jobs that flow slowly every day. The large-scale work will be completed in three days at the latest."
This spring should be the richest spring for the villagers of Yunqiao Village.
There is work to do every day and wages to be earned every day, especially since it is not an easy job. You can earn at least 100 to 200 a day, so everyone is very happy.
The branch secretary Xiaozhu also became happy:
“Can you help me find out how many people from this crew will come tomorrow? How long will they stay?”
She clicked her abacus: "If there are a lot of people, eating and buying groceries will be a big problem, right?"
“I will mobilize the people in our village in advance to plant more vegetables. You don’t need too many good vegetable seedlings, but ordinary vegetables are always indispensable.”
“They won’t work anyway in the spring. They will do some odd jobs at your house and tidy up their own vegetable plots—it’s best if everyone grows different varieties separately.”
“When the crew comes, there will be so many people eating and drinking, eating, picking and selling every day, it will be another income.”
