Chapter 302 A Warm Welcome to Eunuch Qiao

After driving for a while, Qiao Luohan felt a little strange. The road was not as bumpy as he expected, but it was smoother than the official road he took before.

He opened the curtain and asked He Luo, who was riding a horse outside, "How far is your Zhuangzi, and why are you still on the official road?"

When He Luo outside heard Qiao Luohan's question, he didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands, holding the whip and said to Qiao Luohan: "If you go back to Eunuch Qiao, this road is the shortcut to our Wang's manor. The road is not an official road, but paved by our Wang family."

Hearing this, Qiao Luohan couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then poked his head out of the window of his carriage and looked at the road his car was driving on.

When he saw the flat road paved with fine sand and loess, he was stunned. There was a straight, flat gravel road with almost no end in sight, which was much wider and flatter than the pipeline. times.

"Is this the road paved by the Wang family?" Qiao Luohan could hardly believe his ears.

"How much does it cost to pave these roads?"

Hearing this, He Luo couldn't help showing pride, and said with a smile, "This is the road paved by our Wang family. It is more convenient to use it to run business."

"Are you running merchants to pass military vehicles? Pave such a wide road..." Just as he was speaking, a Qiang man behind him said to He Luo in Qiang language: "There is a merchant's carriage passing right in front of the team."

He La responded, and quickly said to Qiao Luohan in Chinese: "Eunuch Qiao, we have to move aside. There is a carriage coming."

"Let the carriage pass by, if you are afraid of bumping into it, how fast it is..." Qiao Luohan murmured, but at this time the driver in front had already been guided by He La and the others to drive the carriage to the side of the road.

The next moment, Qiao Luohan heard the sound of the wheels of the rumbling carriage rolling from far to near behind him. Qiao Luohan was stunned for a moment, opened the curtain on the other side, and saw a carriage drawn by two horses passing by his side quickly. Passing by, the whole car was rumbling, but at such a speed, the occupants sat smoothly.The horses under the driver's control neighed in fright as the fast passing carriage passed his vehicle.

But on this road connecting Shanzhou City and Wangjia Farm, such fast traffic is something that everyone is used to. usual look.

Qiao Luohan stared at it for a long time. It is difficult to see a carriage of this speed even when soldiers march and need to quickly transport food and grass.

Qiao Luohan was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but ask He Luo: "Is this the carriage that runs to your farm?"

He Luo nodded and smiled: "For cars like this, if we ship them quickly, there will be dozens of them a day."

"Dozens of cars..." Qiao Luohan was able to quietly suppress his ignorant expression and put down the car curtain, but in his heart he silently raised the level of the business partner he wanted to connect with.

Soon, the carriage passed through the tobacco fields, beet fields and tobacco leaf fields. At this time, the harvest season of tobacco leaves had passed, and the new crop of tobacco leaves was being planted quickly, while the beet fields were busy harvesting .

Qiao Luohan looked curiously at all kinds of simple agricultural machines that Wang Dong rebuilt from later generations of modern American large-scale farm machinery, controlled by those slaves, and planed beet heads one by one on the vast land.I couldn't help being shocked by the extensive planting in front of me.

Even though Guanzhong is still sparsely populated at this time, in order to feed a large population, intensive farming is common, and all planting in Wangdong Farm is industrial, just replacing the real mechanized planting in the future with manpower. It's just large-scale machinery, so the harvesting scenes of the entire farm show a kind of orderly and extensive.

Let's say he is extensive, it is naturally very extensive, but it is surprisingly neat and consistent.

Qiao Luohan looked curiously at the farm workers wearing uniform clothes, skillfully planing out beet heads one by one, pointing to those purple round things and said: "What is this? Carrots?"

He Luo glanced at those beets and said with a smile, "Return to the eunuch, these are beets, which are used to make sugar."

"Can this thing make sugar?" Qiao Luohan was rather curious.

Remembering Wang Dong's instructions to serve Eunuch Qiao well, He Luo quickly sent a Qiang army to the field and brought back a cleaned beet head, and took out his pocket knife to cut open the beet.

He La handed Qiao Luohan a small piece of beetroot, and eunuch Qiao picked up the purple-red vegetable head and looked at it, only to see that the thing was as black as a purple radish, and when it was grasped, crimson juice dripped out. It didn't look very tasty, so he took a small piece of beet and chewed it in his mouth according to He Luo's intention. Well, there was a very unattractive raw fishy smell in the mouth, like eating a mouthful of dirt. Generally, the taste of sugar beets is not very good, not very crisp and full of scum, but Qiao Luohan still clearly tasted a hint of sweetness in the juice of sugar beets.

In fact, even though the sugar beet varieties that Wang Dong grows here are all mature sugar beets, the sugar content of the beets is still so high, and they taste just a little sweeter than raw sweet potatoes.But this kind of sweetness made Qiao Luohan quite happy in the mouth of Qiao Luohan, who didn't even have to eat sweet potatoes, "This thing is really sweet. I haven't seen this kind of dish in Guanzhong."

He Luo smiled and said, "This is a new species that Wangbie will introduce from Waifan, and it is suitable for planting in a cold place like Shanzhou."

"Can this thing be made into sugar?" He Luo smiled and said, "The sugar used in all kinds of sugar water cans in our farm is made from this beet."

Qiao Luohan nodded, thinking about the canned food that Wang Dong gave to Li Chengqian. He also tasted it secretly. The juice in that canned food was really sweet, but the juice in those canned food was clear and transparent. The thick black and purple beets can produce white sugar without any variegation, and I thought that General Wang Bie really had some tricks.

After bumping for a while, Qiao Luohan's car arrived in front of Wang Dong's farm. He got off the carriage at the invitation of He Luo, and when he looked up, he saw the large wall stretching for hundreds of meters and the villages and towns with a strong sense of descendants. The factory-style farm iron gate, shocked again.

"This is your farm?" The farm in Qiao Luohan's impression should also be a scene of small bridges and flowing water connecting people's fields and fields. Unexpectedly, the buildings in front of him are wide and straight, and each house is straight as if drawn with a ruler. No matter how you look at it, it is difficult to match the image of the farm in his impression.

Qiao Luohan hadn't been given much time to be shocked, "Oh, oh, eunuch Qiao, isn't this!"

Qiao Luohan heard a person running over from a distance shouting exaggeratedly.

Dazed for a moment, the next moment that person used some kind of movement method to quickly come to him, and held his weak little hand with great enthusiasm. "This is Eunuch Qiao, right?"

"Uh uh... I'm..."

"At the Xiawanghui, at the Xiawanghui! I have admired your name for a long time, I have admired your name for a long time!"

Mrs. Qiao was taken aback by Wang Dong's enthusiastic performance like the local leaders when they saw the investor, and walked in with Wang Dong in a daze. A thick red carpet had been laid at the gate of the farm. Ji and the others lined up on both sides, applauding and welcoming with smiles on their faces, which made Qiao Luohan feel a little embarrassed.

"Come, this way, Eunuch Qiao, who...bring a big red flower to the eunuch."

Qiao Luohan was put on the big red flower in a daze.

"Eunuch Qiao, oh, it's so beautiful! Come here, yes, face everyone...Let's shake hands, yes, laugh!"

"Crack."

Liang Shu manipulated the spotlight with extremely immature technology. At the moment when the two smiled, the magnesium powder in the spotlight was ignited, releasing a flash of light, which blinded Qiao Luohan, and then he was dumbfounded. Leng Leng was led by Wang Dong and turned around.

Stepping on the soft red carpet, before stepping into the door, "Crackling, crackling, crackling..."

Qiao Luohan was taken aback, and turned around only to find that He Luo had already run to the side and set off a set of firecrackers. At the same time, the drum bands on both sides began to beat gongs and drums vigorously as if they wanted to send him away.

Faced with such a scene, Qiao Luohan only felt... so happy.

"General Wang Bie is so enthusiastic, Qiao really deserves it!" Eunuch Qiao, who was treated by a foreign businessman for the first time, was overjoyed.

Wang Dong waved his hands and smiled: "What is this? Please invite eunuch Qiao to invite you. We have already prepared a banquet. There is nothing good to eat in the countryside."

Eunuch Qiao nodded happily and followed the welcoming team led by Wang Dong into the farm.
