Chapter 339 The Real Volume
Guangfu County is 400 kilometers north of Haicheng.
There is no airport in this small place, and it would take more time to transfer to the city, so Cheng Ming drove directly there.
Cheng Ming hadn't driven his old Maybach for a long time. This time, he drove this luxury car, which was several years old, on the road and came to Guangfu County.
After having a quick lunch in the county town, he navigated non-stop to Niuma Village, Dangma Town.
Niuma Village Niuma Village, the name of this village is quite interesting.
I wonder if people from this village are all working as slaves in big cities?
When he arrived here, it was actually around one o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as Cheng Ming arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw several electric vehicles or motorcycles driving out of the village one after another. The villagers were all wearing helmets and old, dirty-looking clothes, and were leaving in the direction of the town.
The villagers all looked at Cheng Ming's luxury car curiously, but they didn't stop for long and sped away.
Cheng Ming didn't care either.
Continue walking into the village.
But he soon discovered that there were almost no people in the village.
After walking around, I only saw a few old people.
However, these elderly people could not speak Mandarin, and Cheng Ming tried but was unable to communicate.
The doors of the houses in the village were basically closed, and it looked like no one was at home.
Are they all doing farm work?
This thought came to Cheng Ming.
But something is not right.
It's the twelfth lunar month now. Farmers shouldn't have much work to do in the fields at this time, right?
With doubts, Cheng Ming continued to look in the village, and finally saw the not-so-old owner of a small store at the entrance of the village.
The owner of the small shop is a middle-aged man around fifty years old.
Cheng Ming tried to communicate with him, and thankfully, he could speak Mandarin.
That’s right, how can a high-end store be run without knowing Mandarin?
"Boss, why are there no one in the village?" Cheng Ming handed over a cigarette.
The boss saw Cheng Ming's luxury car parked at the door, and glanced at the cigarette in Cheng Ming's hand. He immediately became very friendly and smiled kindly.
"Normal! Most people in the village work in the industrial park on the outskirts of the county. Everyone is out working at this time!"
start?
One o'clock in the afternoon?
At this time, the urban middle class have just finished lunch and are preparing to take a nap, but the villagers here are actually going to the factory to work again?
The lower class people still have a hard time.
“All the villagers go to work?”
"of course."
said the boss.
Knowing that the person he was looking for might not be at home, Cheng Ming was not in a hurry. He simply sat down on a chair in the small shop and chatted with the boss.
There were not many people here, and the boss seemed to rarely meet people who wanted to chat with him, so he was very willing to chat with Cheng Ming.
After this conversation, Cheng Ming realized that this village was very close to the industrial park on the outskirts of the county.
Most of the villagers work in the industrial park while growing crops. Almost all of them live like this.
Seeing that the conversation was almost over, Cheng Ming asked about Yu Yuhuang Jiang.
"Boss, are there any villagers in the village who grow and sell vegetables?"
The boss was stunned: "Little brother, are you a merchant who collects vegetables?"
Cheng Ming nodded.
Jade Emperor Ginger is also ginger, and harvesting Jade Emperor Ginger is like harvesting vegetables, there is nothing wrong with that.
The boss was a little surprised. He looked at the Maybach parked at the door and fell into deep thought.
Are vegetable buyers doing so well these days?
Do you want to change career?
"Most villagers' main income comes from working in the industrial park. Even if they grow crops, they only grow some vegetables for their own consumption. The only person in the village who grows and sells vegetables is He Eryou."
"Boss, which building is He Eryou's home?"
"It's right there, turn left and go to the third building."
"Okay, thanks, boss!"
"fine."
Cheng Ming finally got what he wanted to know. He thanked his boss.
But the boss told him: "But He Eryou is definitely not at home right now."
"Why?" Cheng Ming asked.
"He also goes to work in the industrial park." said the boss.
Cheng Ming was stunned: "Boss, didn't you say he specializes in growing and selling vegetables?"
"Yes, he does two jobs."
".That must be very hard, right?"
"Isn't that right? They both work in the industrial park. They work during the day and come home at six in the evening. Then they have to water the vegetables and apply fertilizers."
Cheng understood clearly.
It seems that this He Er has a family, but it seems that their family is not very well off.
"It's already the middle of the twelfth lunar month. Aren't the factories in the industrial park closed for holiday yet?" Cheng Ming asked.
"How can it be that fast! Those factories work in shifts, and they wish the workers would work every day, and not have a holiday during the Chinese New Year!" The boss took a puff of Chinese cigarette and complained, "Usually they don't have a holiday until the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month."
Cheng Ming didn't know what to say.
The factories in this place are quite competitive, much more competitive than those in Haicheng.
The villagers are also very enthusiastic.
They work without rest all year round and until the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, so the name of Niuma Village is truly true.
But this also shows that the people in this village should all be honest and decent people. It should be easy to do business with such people?
Cheng Ming felt relieved.
This Jade Emperor Ginger is the last ingredient in the elixir of life. There shouldn't be any surprises, right?
"Boss, since He Eryou hasn't come back from get off work yet, I'll wait here. Do you mind?"
"No, no."
The boss smiled.
There are usually few people here during the day, so it's rare for someone to come and chat with him, so of course he doesn't mind.
In this way, Cheng Ming sat in the small shop, occasionally chatting with the boss.
The simple middle-aged boss never expected that one day in December, the young man he chatted with in the store for an afternoon turned out to be the boss of the world's number one pharmaceutical company.
Cheng Ming was not arrogant and talked with his boss about everything from astronomy and geography to the international situation.
Time flies by pretty fast.
Soon it was six o'clock in the evening.
Sure enough, many people came back from get off work on motorcycles and electric scooters.
"Over there! He Er and his wife are back!"
The kind shop owner reminded Cheng Ming.
Cheng Ming looked and saw a man and a woman riding a motorcycle into the village.
He stood up and said, "Boss, thank you very much. I'll go first."
"fine!"
The boss watched the young man leave and said to himself in confusion: "Is this young man really here to collect vegetables? Can a boss who collects vegetables sit here for an entire afternoon?"
He Eryou and his wife returned home.
At this time, it was already past six o'clock, and the couple was exhausted after a day's work in the factory.
I thought I would be able to have a hot meal when I got home, but when I got back, the kitchen was ice cold and it was obvious that the stove was not on.
His wife looked at him and complained in a low voice: "No one cooked again. We are so tired, why can't these two old people cook a meal?"
The "two old people" his wife mentioned were naturally He Eryou's father and mother.
The two elders are 59 and 57 respectively, neither of them is yet 60, but they have already announced to the public that they are "retired" and will just "enjoy their lives" at home and do nothing.
Although they are in good health, even agile, the two old men do nothing.
He doesn't even do things that are within his ability, like sweeping the floor and cooking.
He Eryou's wife was quite resentful.
