1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 600 Xichang Vegetable Basket is about to face market challenges

Within a few days, the public discussion of Xichang suddenly disappeared.

There is intervention from above, and it has a lot to do with the Paralympic Games being held in Seoul on October [-]th.

This is the second time my country has sent athletes to the Paralympic Games (the first was in Stoke Mandeville and New York in 1984), and my country has sent 43 athletes, double the number of athletes sent in 1984.

He participated in four events: track and field, swimming, table tennis and shooting. He participated in very few events, but his results were very impressive.

It closes on October 24th.

We won a total of 44 medals, including 17 gold medals, 17 silver medals, and 10 bronze medals. 11 people broke the world record. We ranked 14th in total gold medals, but ranked first in medals per capita.

The athletes achieved such impressive results in the Paralympic Games, which is very inspiring. As for the topic of Xichang discussed a while ago, it was naturally overshadowed.

This result is what Luo Tao wants to see the most. He doesn't want himself or the Xichang Company to be under the spotlight all day long.

Without external interference, Xichang will continue to do whatever it is necessary to do. Another thing is that the end of the year is coming, and the company is very busy with various tasks.

Autumn is about to pass and winter is coming.

Xichang Vegetable Basket is also about to face its first challenge since its establishment. In previous years, it gave priority to Xichang Tower and other restaurants in the capital, but rarely went to the market to supply to the public.

In order to fight this battle successfully, Luo Tao, accompanied by Hou Ming and Tian Hao, once again inspected the Xichang Vegetable Base in Miyun in late October.

After leaving Miyun County and driving southeast, within a few minutes, you can see white vegetable greenhouses.

The sunlight shines on the greenhouse covered with white plastic sheeting, glowing with golden light, which is very dazzling.

Luo Tao, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, was surprised when he faced the thousands of acres of vegetable greenhouses for the first time. When the car was halfway along, he asked Xu Le to stop. He wanted to go down and have a look and experience it for himself.

The white vegetable greenhouses are neatly arranged and look spectacular.

After getting out of the car, he first unzipped his jacket and said to Hou Ming and Tian Hao with a smile: "Oh! This is more realistic than what you see in newspapers and TV."

The roadbed of the highway is about one meter higher than the field. Standing on the highway, looking at the vegetable greenhouses in the field still feels a bit condescending.

Pointing to both sides of the road, he asked Tian Hao: "Does this area have a thousand acres?"

Tian Hao smiled and replied: "This area covers more than 400 acres, and is planted with cabbage, celery, green onions, etc.

The remaining [-] acres are at the vegetable base, where some off-season vegetables of slightly higher value are grown.

Mr. Luo, would you like to go down and take a look? "

Tian Hao saw that Luo Tao was in a good mood and half of the stone in his heart had fallen, so he invited him to take a look in the fields.

He was listening with his ears, but his eyes were looking at such a spectacular vegetable greenhouse in the distance.

"Forget it now, let's go to Donggeqiao Vegetable Base early to see the situation there."

This place is almost a few miles away from the Donggeqiao Vegetable Base. The reason why these [-] acres of vegetable greenhouses are not put together is due to certain practical factors.

Donggeqiao is the Xichang vegetable base and the place where the Xichang Agricultural Research Institute will conduct experiments in the future. It will not be used for vegetable production, but is mostly used for visits and inspections.

With plans for future development, the vegetable production base will naturally need to be found elsewhere, but considering the convenience of management, we did not choose to go too far.

Luo Tao spoke, but no one in the group stood up to speak out.

In a short time, we arrived at the Xichang Vegetable Base. The village party secretary of Shuanggeqiao and Wan He, the person in charge here, had been waiting at the entrance of the village with a group of villagers...

Since Xichang has settled in Dongqiao Village and Xigeqiao Village, Wengxi Town has started preparing to merge the two villages since October last year.

This is beneficial to management and the development of the next vegetable basket project.

Miyun, including the city, attaches great importance to the merger of the two villages. They all want to build this into a national vegetable basket project demonstration base, rather than a pioneer demonstration base.

With the joint efforts of the upper and lower levels, the two villages merged in July this year and were officially renamed Shuanggeqiao Village.

Luo Tao didn't like it when he saw villagers coming to welcome him.

There was a trace of displeasure on the originally joyful face, and the smiles along the way disappeared at this moment.

This scene was naturally noticed by Hou Ming and Tian Hao. They both knew that Luo Tao didn't like others doing this.

In my heart, I secretly scolded Wan He, who was in charge here.

It's the blame, but they can't just let it go. The two of them naturally have to think of ways to explain it.

Hou laughed and said, "The folks here are very enthusiastic. Some of them were still working in the fields when they came last time. They all ran to welcome them after dropping their hoes."

"What Mr. Hou said is that every time I come, they will ask me: When will Mr. Luo come? Before, I said weakly: When Mr. Luo is not busy, I will come to see the big guy.

When I see them again this time, I can tell them confidently: I have invited your Mr. Luo. "Tian Hao is now not only a seductress, but also a flatterer, and the words in his mouth are always the same.

The conversation between the two of them did make Luo Tao slightly happy.

It's also because they really didn't have a welcoming ceremony other than a large crowd.

Before the car reached the village entrance, they greeted it.

Xu Le was also very discerning and stopped the car quickly without Luo Tao saying anything.

Luo Tao got out of the car and shook hands with fellow villagers who welcomed them.

"I haven't seen you in a few months, how are you all?"

Today's Luo Tao's clothes look simple, but in fact they are not cheap at all. Except for the handmade cloth shoes made by his mother Su Guilan, which he loves to wear, all his clothes are made of imported materials. Maple Leaf Manufacturing's latest research and development of spring and autumn outerwear.

This is the jacket that became very popular later. This type of clothing has no market in China. Jackets are very attractive to consumers abroad, but their designs are not in line with the current Chinese people's understanding of the beauty of clothing.

This jacket developed by Maple Leaf Garment is very in line with the Chinese people's aesthetic taste in clothing. Everyone who has seen this jacket likes it very much.

Nowadays, leaders still choose between suits and Chinese tunic suits, which shows that the market is still very large. In addition, this jacket has a special meaning.

As long as it is done well, there will naturally be fewer competitive competitors. If you can't kill Guozihao, you can at least kill 90.00% of private companies.

This is the first time that a jacket made by Maple Leaf has been worn by Luo Tao.

Of course, this own brand must be promoted by oneself. It is a waste of money to use celebrities for advertising.

Luo Tao had already made a plan. He would wear the young men's clothes by himself, Zhu Lin would wear the women's clothes, Xiao Shiten and his brother and sister would wear the children's clothes. As for the clothes for the elderly?If you need it, go directly to Renyi and find a few old artists to solve the problem.

This can also be regarded as increasing revenue and reducing expenditure.

"Hello Mr. Luo, we all have been looking forward to your coming again..."

"Thank you guys." After chatting with the fellow villagers for a while, they walked towards the greenhouse area with a smile.

The folks in Shuanggeqiao Village were also very down-to-earth, and they were reluctant to leave. Luo Tao walked in front, and they followed behind, maybe because they were reluctant to leave, or maybe they just wanted to watch the fun.

In this way, a group of people moved towards the greenhouse area.

At this time, all the greenhouses have not been fully sealed, there is no straw felt on top, and both ends are still ventilating each other.

"Is it okay to let the air flow like this now?"

A technician in charge of this area replied to Luo Tao: "The vegetables in the dozens of greenhouses here have reached the maturity stage. A little ventilation during the day will be fine. In the evening, after the picking is completed, we will organize people to seal them up and seal them up at night." The temperature is a little bit lower.”

"Oh." Luo Tao asked some questions of himself as he walked.

When he walked to the entrance of the shed, he could immediately feel a wave of heat hitting his cheeks.

At this time, his face was full of spring breeze, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "Hey! It's really not good if there is no wind at noon.

It’s really just for laymen to see the excitement, but for experts to see the secrets. "

Everyone laughed.

Asked: "Is this vegetable greenhouse bigger than the watermelon greenhouse in summer?"

I didn't feel this way outside, but I felt it very intuitively after entering the greenhouse.

"Yes, it is one meter wider on the left and right than the watermelon greenhouse, and five meters longer on the north and south. The materials used in the greenhouse are also different..." Wan He on the side made an introduction.

This year, Xichang Vegetable Basket has made significant progress in all aspects of work. In addition to cooperating with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to develop dozens of new vegetable varieties, it also reached cooperation with the city's iron and steel plant to develop a skeleton suitable for winter greenhouses.

I heard that the frame is well built and can bear the weight of an adult.

It looked pretty solid, so he didn't ask the question.

"Hehehe!"

His eyes focused on the red tomatoes.

Wanhe also picked a few big red tomatoes with quick eyesight and hands. The technician was very cooperative and he didn't know when he had the bucket ready.

I took them off and quickly gave them a bath.

The first one was handed to Luo Tao. He smiled and said, "Give these to them and tell me what is ripe. I will pick it myself."

For most of my life, I have never enjoyed the pleasure of picking vegetables in a greenhouse.

Although his family had a small vegetable garden and had grown tomatoes, Luo Tao had never experienced the joy of harvesting.

The melons and fruits grown in the vegetable garden at home were targeted by Xiao Shiyue and his brother and sister early on when they were still green fruits, so there was no need to wait for them to ripen.

They didn't expect the boss to have such a preference, so they hesitated for a while, and then hurriedly laughed together, "Mr. Luo, there are three points to judge whether the tomatoes are ripe or not, one is the shape, the other is the color, and the third is the tomato. Feel..."

After listening to his explanation, Luo Tao discovered the New World again. It turned out that there were so many teachings in it.

Look at the appearance: Naturally ripe tomatoes are smooth and flat in shape, with a round bottom and a slight depression.

Look at the color: Naturally ripe tomatoes start to turn red from the flower pedicle, and then gradually turn red to the tomato stem.

Look at the feel: Naturally ripe tomatoes feel soft to the touch. Even if the handle is a bit green, the blush is still very soft.

Under Wanhe's guidance, Luo Tao picked a tomato that he was very satisfied with, held it in his hand for a while, and weighed it.

"This tomato must weigh more than 100 grams, right?"

"This is about the same."

Luo Tao wiped the tomatoes with his hands and asked him: "Is this heavy or small?"

He is still very concerned about the yield of vegetables. The most important thing is that people now do not have much requirements for the taste of winter vegetables. As long as they are not poisonous, they will not consider this.

Based on the actual situation, they will not consider this now. What they have to do now is to let the people eat fresh fruits and vegetables in winter.

Then let’s talk about whether the taste is good or bad.

The biggest task now is to have more "quantity" than "taste".

"This is a normal fruit. We did a test at the beginning of picking. The largest fruit of greenhouse tomatoes in winter weighs about 140 grams, the smallest fruit weighs more than [-] grams, and the average fruit weighs [-] grams..."

"Oh, how different is it from Summer Fruit?"

It was also the first time that Luo Tao cared about the weight of this fruit, and he usually cared about eating it, so he still cared about it.

There happened to be an expert here today, so I had a clear idea after asking myself clearly.

Wan He didn't hesitate at all. These data had already been printed in his mind, and he blurted out: "There is a difference of tens of grams in the average weight of fruits produced in winter and summer."

One difference is just a few dozen grams. How much money will be lost over hundreds of acres?Luo Tao thought about it in his mind.

He didn't have time to eat the tomatoes that had been wiped clean in his hands, so he asked: "Can you think of a way to change this?"

"Theoretically, it can be the same as Xiaguoer, but due to various technical reasons, I'm afraid it won't be possible for the time being."

"Don't tell me I can't do it." He looked at Tian Hao again, "Have you done any targeted research on this issue?"

Tian Hao is calm and calm, which means he has no ghosts in his heart and he is calm.

"After the problem came out, we immediately discussed the issue with various groups of experts... We studied the seed problem with Professor Cui from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and we also teamed up with several teachers from the Municipal Plastics Industry School to overcome the problem of greenhouse plastic sheets... We are still here researching."

What he said was very comprehensive, and he also explained the reasons for the low fruit production in winter. One is the problem of the seeds themselves, and the other is the problem of low temperature.

This has a lot to do with plastic sheeting. Whether plastic sheeting can keep heat or not... they also came up with a set of solutions.

Luo Tao hadn't had time to understand what they had done.

Knowing that they were concerned about this matter, Luo Tao did not delve into this issue any further.

However, I still entrusted: "Find the problem in time, solve the problem in time, don't procrastinate, and you can't ignore it."

Then he pointed at Hou Ming and said: "You go back to the meeting and increase investment in seed research and development and other facilities in the greenhouse.

It requires both output and quality. "
