Carrying a Jurassic on me-Chapter 1746 - 827: First Inspection_2

The convoy stopped for a while, and a few people got out. The news immediately reached Yan Fei — he had specially come back for this inspection.

However, upon hearing that the people getting out were walking along the roadside watching the excitement and chatting with the locals, Yan Fei calmly said, "No problem, they just want to see if our situation is real. Let them walk and ask around."

Zhou Dalian, who was responsible for gathering information, asked eagerly, "Brother Fei, should we go over and greet them?"

"No need." Yan Fei waved his hand. "We’ll just wait here and not disturb them."

...

Director Yu was happily watching two groups of people quarreling. Two lions tumbled up and down in the middle of the road, with people arguing on the side. After listening for a bit, Director Yu understood that it was about last time’s bridge groundbreaking ceremony, where the two villages had an issue with who got to stand in front and steal the spotlight...

"What was the situation with the bridge groundbreaking ceremony last time? Does anyone know?" Director Yu thought for a moment and quietly asked someone next to him.

Now that they had gotten off the car, more people were following behind the leaders. There were not only city officials accompanying them but also county officials. A young person immediately replied, "It was about the time when the cattle farm was about to start construction on a bridge and road. Almost all the dragon and lion dancers from the whole township came; it was even livelier than now. There were not only festivities on this road, but they extended all the way to the southern riverside. You see, the trampled wheat field hasn’t recovered yet!"

The county person speaking was not eloquent. When asked about the ceremony, why was he boasting about the excitement? There was a hint from the city officials accompanying them, and someone gestured...

Ironically, this county reception person was a bit dim-witted, only watching the leaders and not them: "The grandeur of that time was even turned into a program by the county and broadcasted on TV. It wasn’t an ordinary level of excitement. What they are talking about is probably everyone wanting to steal a good shot when filming the program. Actually, the performers were all inside the lion costumes, and outsiders couldn’t tell which village’s lions were which. It was the villagers themselves who insisted on it..."

"Cough, cough, cough..." At this point, even the county’s own people couldn’t stand it. Wasn’t this person supposed to be someone with a prestigious background? How come he’s so tongue-tied upon seeing a big leader?

"Comrade, if you have something to say, just say it!" Director Yu looked at the coughing person beside him, smiling and pointing.

Embarrassed by his botched effort, this person collapsed internally, feeling dragged down by that fool.

But at the moment, he could only brace himself and reply, "The bridge groundbreaking ceremony was something Boss Yan of Cow Flower Company wanted to repair. Currently, Sancha River Township wants to go out, and the road we’re using is the one they take; to go to the county town, they have to head west. There is a river to the south, and Boss Yan said the last time he returned that he wanted to build a road, constructing a bridge from that place to connect the road directly to the county town. After approval, they held a groundbreaking ceremony, and when the villagers heard about it, they came over to celebrate."

"Voluntarily?" Director Yu asked.

"Definitely voluntarily. This season, apart from the work in the vegetable greenhouses, there’s not much going on in the township. People are happy to find a reason to have some fun. Besides, isn’t it a chance to appear on TV?" The one answering was still that ’ineloquent’ young man.

Director Yu chuckled when he heard this: "On TV?"

"Yes!" The ’ineloquent’ one lit up upon seeing the leader happy, paying no mind to the scowls of those nearby, and spoke with enthusiasm. "There are now plenty of chances for Sancha River Township to appear on TV. Converting farmland to grassland, getting rich by growing in greenhouses, and making a fortune raising earthworms... Reporters often come here seeking news. Now people from the county TV station don’t even think much of it. It’s really awesome to get featured on the city station!"

"I’ve heard about converting farmland to grassland before. You guys are doing quite well here," Director Yu said with a smile. "Is that a greenhouse over there? What’s inside?"

"They’re raising earthworms over here now. Cow manure next to the field is free, so the costs are low. With the company’s technicians just a call away and convenient management, it’s easier than growing vegetables. You have to go a bit further to find vegetable cultivation; those nearby opt for convenience." The young man explained with a smile.

"Currently, earthworm farming here has formed a certain scale. The fertilizer factory directly buys the earthworm castings to produce fertilizer. Organic fertilizer has already been sold to the provincial city. Plus, there are clients actively contacting to buy both dried and live earthworms. Villagers are eager to raise them. Although it’s dirty work, the money earned is clean."

Director Yu listened and understood: "Are you from Sancha River Township?"

"Yes, yes, I’m working here." The young man grinned foolishly. "The local customs are good now, and work is very worry-free. The crime rate is the lowest in the entire district. With better living conditions, people live peacefully and happily. It’s really great."

That explains why you answer three questions for one. So you are from here!

Those who were unaware finally understood. It wasn’t that this person was off-topic or inarticulate. He was attracting the leaders’ attention and promoting the area’s benefits!

As they spoke, Xiao Liu, who was sent to gather information by Director Yu, arrived, quietly reporting back, "Director, they all came voluntarily to join in. Except for a meal at noon, they don’t receive any payment."

Director Yu finally felt truly happy and nodded towards the people around him.

Immediately, some people began arranging the accompanying reporters and camera crew to start capturing the lively scenes around them. This added to the fun. The dragon and lion dancers began to push toward the cameras. The initially lazy people were all energized, grinning at the camera as if they were at a concert.

Those around feared that the leader would be displeased; unexpectedly, Director Yu found it amusing: "They’re genuinely not here to specially welcome us. Nobody is even coming our way!" ƒгeewebnovёl_com

If this scene were arranged by the enterprise and local officials on purpose, it would be a negative stereotype of wasting resources to impress superiors; but if everyone participated voluntarily, it only goes to show public sentiment—a positive stereotype if ever there was one.

With such a scene, being able to happen upon it made Director Yu happier than anything. Why would he be upset?

"The villagers are inexperienced; they weren’t informed about which leaders were coming to inspect. With all these people, regulations fell apart. Sorry about that, Director Yu." The prestigious young man speaking nearby said.

"No need to be so formal. This is a good thing." Director Yu waved his hand, walking more briskly. "Seeing this has made me quite expectant of the township’s situation. Let’s change the schedule a bit. After finishing the morning’s visit to the enterprises, we should take a look at the new rural area in the afternoon."

"..." The group following along was a bit dumbfounded. This wasn’t part of the plan?

However, the young man who kept speaking was very happy: "Rest assured, Director Yu. We will certainly make all the necessary preparations."

"Oh no, please don’t. If you make preparations, then I won’t come." Director Yu laughed, half-joking and half-serious. "No need to notify, let’s just casually take a look tomorrow."

The words ’preparations’ were emphasized, causing some embarrassment for the young man. Others either secretly chuckled or bore awkward expressions.

Nobody was foolish; who couldn’t hear the implied meaning in those words?

"Are all those buildings over there Cow Flower’s factories?" After walking a bit, they passed the greenhouses near the roadside and saw the factories to the south along the river. Although the distance was great, the open land made them visible.

"Yes, yes, all of those are," the young man explained. "This road will be widened and connected to the bridge under construction, leading directly to the county town in the future, saving more than twenty li compared to the western road."

"All funded by the enterprise?" Director Yu asked.

"Yes, yes, the township’s funds are being used to repair village roads. This area wasn’t originally planned. Boss Yan couldn’t wait and moved ahead of our local work," the young man replied.

"Building bridges and roads is a good thing! As long as it’s voluntary by the enterprise, we should encourage and support it," Director Yu smiled and said. "Weren’t there several factory sites? Where should we visit first?"

"The fertilizer factory, the leather factory, and a small feed processing plant are over there. There’s also a higher number of cattle farms there. The distance is quite far, with the factories stretching to the riverside. Why don’t we take a car over there?" the young man suggested.

"Alright, let’s get in the car. I can’t wait to see what the inside of the enterprise is like!" Director Yu said as he waved to the car moving slowly behind them and led the way in.
