"No, no, you can't let me make a mistake. I don't smoke."

"Well, come and eat a cucumber. It won't be a mistake."

Liu Jingwen took a cucumber and gave half to his assistant, and the two went to check the eggplant field next to them.

Different vegetables mature at different times, early, mid-day and late, but these are all high-yield, with an income of more than 2,000 yuan per mu, which is a very high income. At the same time, villagers from surrounding villages are also employed, and they also earn odd jobs.

When the income of one village increases, it will drive the surrounding villages. People from the surrounding villages also come to the vegetable cooperative one after another. The cooperative has promised to absorb appropriate members from the surrounding villages next year.

However, vegetables are not food after all and cannot be planted indefinitely. If they are allowed to be planted without restraint, there will be a risk of unsalability. According to the plan formulated by Liu Xia Lian, the upper limit for planting around Dahe Village is about 5,000 acres.

When autumn arrives, other villages are resting, but the agricultural cooperative drives an excavator and buys steel structures. There is one greenhouse per acre made of adobe and steel. It is cold outside, but warm inside. The harvest of green peppers, cucumbers, chili peppers and other vegetables begins again.

Liu Jingwen went to the cooperative to inspect the work. The person in charge was Zhao Zhi, a graduate of Jilin Agricultural University. He was 25 years old, a sunny and handsome boy, and he got along well with Liu Jingwen.

"President Zhao, I have some bad news. People in the surrounding villages have also started to grow vegetables on their own initiative. They will all grow cucumbers, green peppers, and beans next spring. They have no market and are blindly growing them, which is bound to have an impact on the cooperative. The government should not intervene too much, otherwise it will only backfire. After all, we are now in the reform and opening up era."

"Thank you Mayor Liu for reminding me. This news is very important. But don't worry too much. The cooperative has built a new cold storage of 50 mu. We have channels for storage, processing and export. In addition, the 2,000 mu greenhouses in Dahe Village will not plant green peppers, cucumbers, etc. in the spring. The repeated planting will cause a big drop in production. So we will plant potatoes instead."

"Potatoes? The price is so low. If the common people can't get the benefits from growing them, they will be very angry." Liu Jingwen expressed his concerns.

President Zhao smiled and said, "After the Chinese New Year, when the weather is cold, we will plant potatoes and harvest them before May Day. There are no new potatoes on the market at this time, and the purchase price is at least 20 cents. Don't worry, the income is very stable."

"Out-of-season potatoes? This is so novel."

"Yes, not all of them grow potatoes. Most farmers have average skills, and those with few hands and poor skills grow potatoes. Families with more hands, good skills, and a love of learning grow watermelons and melons, which are also put on the market before May Day. The purchase price is about 40 cents, which is a huge profit. Of course, it also costs a lot. Watermelons and melons have to be guarded in the greenhouse day and night, which is not as simple as potatoes."

Liu Jingwen only now understands that farming has different levels, different crops require different people, and it is impossible to grow vegetables well without some skills. Only units like cooperatives can teach farmers carefully.

In the twelfth lunar month, Changbai Mountain is freezing cold.

Liu Xia Lian, Zhao Hua, Zhao Yong, Daya, Erya and others came to Pengcheng by express train. Today's Pengcheng is changing with each passing day. Since the reform and opening up, it has emerged as a new force. All walks of life have developed like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, so fast that it is unbelievable.

This time I came here to attend the opening ceremony of Daqiang Heavy Industry's Pengcheng factory. It was quite a grand scene. Mayor Hu of Pengcheng and more than a dozen leaders attended the ceremony together.

Located on Mawan Avenue in Nanshan District, adjacent to the seaport, the factory covers an area of ​​1,000 acres and has modern agricultural machinery production, mainly producing agricultural machinery, agricultural transport vehicles, agricultural all-terrain vehicles, light trucks, and pickup trucks. The factory is equipped with a large supermarket, employee dormitory building, swimming and fitness center, library, etc. The salary of technicians and R&D personnel is 50% higher than that of the industry, and the salary of ordinary employees is 30% higher than that of the industry.

When fully staffed, the company will have more than 5,000 employees. Once it goes into production, it will have a huge impact on southern agriculture. Small, hand-pushed rice transplanters and harvesters will be suitable for small plots in the south, greatly improving the efficiency of agricultural production. At the same time, agricultural transport vehicles and agricultural land vehicles will be exported to Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia and other countries to earn foreign exchange.

Liu Daqiang, the once bald middle-aged man, now has black hair and cuts the ribbon with the leaders.

There were a huge crowd of reporters and guests below, and the leaders were chatting and laughing. Liu Daqiang was more or less nervous, but he was no longer nervous when he saw Liu Xia Lian in the crowd.

The infrastructure of this large factory, plus the machine tools and equipment, required a huge investment. Of the seven tons of gold Liu Xia Lian had, three tons were invested here. If it weren't for such a large scale, how could the city attach so much importance to it and give it so much face?

However, Liu Xia Lian did not show up, and Liu Daqiang was busy for several months before the heavy industry started.

Now, Baishan, Tengxian, and Pengcheng have formed a development line from north to south, focusing on the two ends and neglecting the middle. The electric tricycle manufacturer in Jianghe Town, Tengxian mainly produces freight tricycles and passenger tricycles, which are commonly known as three-wheeled vehicles or three-horse vehicles. It is a small factory with an investment of only a few million yuan, and its purpose is nothing more than to boost the performance of Liu Xialian's fourth brother.

The one in Pengcheng is different. The imported equipment from Germany alone cost more than a ton of gold. Even the technical experts in the factory couldn't figure out why a farm vehicle could be so good.

In fact, Liu Daqiang said long ago that if we do something, we should be the industry leader. The main agricultural vehicle is called the Ivy Four-wheel Drive Vehicle, with a 50-horsepower diesel engine. In mountainous areas, a single-cylinder engine is used if you are not afraid of loud noise, and a four-cylinder engine is used if you are afraid of loud noise. There are large-patterned off-road tires on the front and rear, and a larger and thicker anti-collision steel beam chassis, which can be equipped with chassis steel plates. The vehicle is only five meters long. There are single-row and double-row options.

The quality of this car is beyond reproach. It can be used for driving in mountainous areas, climbing hills and wading through water. It can also carry three tons of cargo. All you have to do is step on the accelerator and leave the rest to the creeper.

The four-cylinder car is different. It runs fast, up to 12.7 kilometers per hour, has low noise, and is suitable for roads, deserts, etc. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong. How can this agricultural vehicle look like a military all-terrain vehicle? The most important thing is that it is cheap. A mm dual-purpose heavy machine gun is installed in the car, which is a battlefield killer that can hit the sky, the ground, and the air in between.

The sales department is also very good, selling directly to the Middle East in bulk, shipping 1,000 units at a time. The price is only half of Toyota's, so the marketing is still very good.

It was very strange that Hu Gang from Liancheng Shipyard and Mayor Hu from Pengcheng invited Liu Xialian to lunch that day. If it was any one of them, it would be strange, but they both invited her together.

It was a private banquet, held in a quiet private restaurant. Hu Gang was the host and was very polite. Mayor Hu was also very polite, but the atmosphere always felt like a Hongmen Banquet.
