Chapter 693 Three Aunts Offer Suggestions 3
At the same time, on this sunny day, Liu Ping'an, the head of the purchasing department, shouldered important responsibilities and brought a group of purchasers to Qinjia Village, which has been transformed into a farm. They came with a serious and earnest attitude to inspect the progress of the farm construction on the spot. After all, this is related to the development of many subsequent tasks and whether the farm can operate smoothly in the future.
They first came to the reservoir area, which is of vital importance in the village. When everyone stood on the wide and majestic dam of the reservoir, the gentle breeze was like a gentle hand, gently brushing against their faces. The cool feeling instantly dispelled the heat that everyone had felt along the way, making everyone feel refreshed. Liu Ping'an stood there, scanning every corner of the reservoir with a focused and meticulous gaze, not missing any details, as if he wanted to deeply imprint the appearance of the reservoir at this moment in his mind.
Look, the surface of the reservoir is like a huge mirror. Under the sunshine, it sparkles and glitters with brilliant golden light, as if countless tiny pieces of gold are sprinkled on the water. It is so beautiful that people can't help but be intoxicated. Look at the dam of the reservoir. After professional reinforcement, it looks more solid and reliable. The stones of different sizes but just right are tightly stacked together. They fit together tightly, like close comrades-in-arms, relying on each other tightly without even the slightest sign of looseness, like an indestructible line of defense, guarding the safety of the reservoir.
Liu Ping'an walked slowly along the embankment with steady steps, and his serious look seemed to be exploring some precious treasure. As he walked, he squatted down from time to time, bent down, and put his head closer to carefully check the slope protection of the embankment. The protective grass grew very lushly, and each blade of grass was full of vitality. Their roots were deeply rooted in the soil, like countless pairs of strong little hands, firmly grasping the soil, regardless of wind and rain, they were unwavering, effectively preventing soil erosion and adding another guarantee to the stability of the embankment.
"The dam is well reinforced, but it still needs regular inspections, especially before the rainy season, to ensure that there are no mistakes." Liu Ping'an inspected it attentively and said to the buyers around him with a serious expression, his words were full of rigor and responsibility for work. The buyers nodded in response to the section chief's instructions, not daring to slack off, and hurriedly took out the notebooks they carried with them, carefully recording every key point Liu Ping'an said, and every stroke showed their serious attitude towards work.
Then, they went to the spillway of the reservoir in an orderly manner to check. The spillway was spacious and unobstructed, like a wide road, without any debris piled up in it, and looked clean and neat. Seeing such a good situation, Liu Pingan smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly. He had more recognition of the construction of this part of the farm and more confidence in the subsequent work.
After bidding farewell to the sparkling reservoir with solid dams, Liu Ping'an led the buyers along the country road and slowly walked towards the farmland. Along the way, everyone was looking forward to finding out more about the construction of the farm, but also felt cautious as a responsible person.
Soon, the group arrived at the vast farmland. As soon as they approached, the vibrant scene came into view. Looking around, the green crops were like a vast green ocean. In the breeze, they swayed gently, and layers of green waves appeared, as if nature used its magical brush to paint a beautiful picture, which made people feel endless joy and admiration.
Liu Ping'an took the lead and walked into the farmland with steady steps. He took every step very carefully, fearing that he would disturb the crops that were growing vigorously. After reaching a suitable position, he slowly squatted down, with a look of concern and concentration, gently stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the tender green wheat seedlings. Look, the leaves of the wheat seedlings are broad and green, and each leaf is like a carefully carved jade, revealing a healthy and energetic luster. Under the reflection of the sun, it seems that you can see the flowing life juice in the leaves. Look at the stems again, standing there thick and upright, like a group of agile guards, guarding the vitality and hope of this farmland.
Liu Ping'an never took his eyes off the wheat seedlings. He carefully observed the growth of the wheat seedlings, not missing any details. Suddenly, his brows slightly frowned, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. It turned out that he found some yellow spots on the leaves of several wheat seedlings. Those yellow spots were like flaws on a beautiful jade, which were particularly dazzling and destroyed the original perfect posture of the wheat seedlings.
"The wheat seedlings may have been infected with pests and diseases. We need to contact agricultural experts to take a look. At the same time, our purchasing department must also purchase some pesticides to prevent and control pests and diseases as soon as possible." Liu Ping'an frowned, his tone full of anxiety and worry. He knew that once the pests and diseases spread, it would have a great impact on the harvest of this crop field and even the entire farm, so he did not dare to delay for a moment.
After hearing what the section chief said, the buyers immediately took action, just like well-trained soldiers who had received an urgent mission. Some of them quickly took out their mobile phones from their pockets, found the right angle, and took photos of the sick wheat seedlings to record their symptoms. Their focused expressions seemed to be photographing extremely precious works of art. They carefully checked every photo to see if it was clear and if the symptoms were fully presented. Some of them had already started looking through their address books for relevant suppliers they had contacted on a daily basis. While making calls, they were also quickly recording something in their notebooks. Their anxious words and busy movements showed how much they valued this matter.
After dealing with the wheat seedlings in the fields, they followed the winding path and came to the quiet and charming pond in the farm. As soon as they approached the pond, the clear water caught everyone's eyes. The water was really clear, like a huge transparent mirror spread on the ground. At a glance, you can clearly see groups of small fish swimming freely in the water. Those small fish are colorful, red, white, black... Sometimes they happily shuttled among the water plants, and sometimes they playfully jumped out of the water, splashing a string of crystal water, as if showing people their carefree life, adding endless vitality and agile beauty to the pond.
Liu Pingan walked slowly around the pond, carefully checking the water quality and surrounding environment. His focused eyes did not miss any corner, from the shore of the pond to the water surface, and then to the place where it connects with the surrounding land, he examined them one by one. As he walked, his eyes suddenly fixed on one place, and a trace of worry appeared on his face again. It turned out that he found that the fence beside the pond was a little shabby. The originally sturdy fence had several gaps after a long period of wind, sun and rain, just like holes in a sturdy armor. It not only affected the overall appearance, but more importantly, there were certain safety hazards.
"This fence needs to be repaired quickly. Think about it, there are a lot of people coming and going in this farm every day. If a child is playing here and doesn't notice that the fence is old and has gaps, it would be dangerous if he accidentally falls in. The consequences would be disastrous. Since we are responsible for inspecting the situation of this farm, we have to take all these safety hazards into consideration. In addition, we can also consider adding some oxygenating equipment. You see, although the fish in the pond look quite comfortable now, if there is a lack of oxygen, it will be bad for their growth. Adding oxygenating equipment can increase the survival rate of the fish in the pond, which is also very beneficial for the subsequent development of fisheries in our farm." Liu Ping'an said to the buyers with a serious face and a concerned tone.
The buyers were all focused, listening carefully to Liu Ping'an's every word, their eyes never leaving the figure of the section chief, holding the pen tightly in their hands, quickly recording in the notebook, recording every task in detail, and writing every stroke very carefully, as if what they recorded was not just simple words, but an important code for the future development of the farm. They knew that they had a heavy responsibility, and whether these tasks were implemented well would directly affect all aspects of the farm.
Finally, they followed the winding or straight paths in the farm and came to the greenhouse area full of hope and vitality. As soon as they entered the greenhouse, a warm and moist breath hit them in the face. It felt like they had suddenly walked from the slightly cool world outside into a warm embrace, making them feel comfortable all over, and every pore seemed to be relaxed in this pleasant breath.
In the greenhouse, it is really a lively and prosperous scene, full of various vegetables and fruits. Look, there are red tomatoes hanging on the shelves, each one is like a carefully carved ruby, round and plump, shining with an attractive luster under the sunlight, as if telling people about their sweetness and juiciness; over there are green cucumbers, they are slender and straight hanging on the vines, with some tiny spikes on their bodies, like little guards wearing armor, showing their freshness and crispness; look at the shiny purple eggplants, like mysterious amethysts, low-key but revealing a different charm, making people want to reach out and touch them; and there are those delicate strawberries and other fruits, they are like rubies inlaid in the green leaves, exuding an attractive fruity fragrance, which makes people salivate just by looking at them.
Liu Ping'an walked slowly in the greenhouse, carefully checking the growth of each crop. He would go to the tomatoes to observe their color and shape, and then bend down to check whether the cucumber vines were strong and growing well. He would stop from time to time to ask the greenhouse manager about the temperature, humidity and fertilizer application. His eyes were full of concern for the growth of these crops. He asked every question in great detail, not missing any key factors that might affect the growth of the crops.
"The temperature and humidity in this greenhouse are well controlled. It can be seen that you have really put in a lot of effort in this regard. However, we can't take it lightly and we still have to pay attention to ventilation. This greenhouse is relatively closed. If the air does not circulate, it will easily breed pests and diseases. Once pests and diseases spread, these crops that have been grown with great effort will suffer, and our previous efforts will be in vain. In addition, our purchasing department must ensure the supply of fertilizers and agricultural films needed for the greenhouse. Fertilizers are like food for crops. Without sufficient fertilizers, how can they grow so vigorously? If the agricultural films are damaged, it will also affect the environment in the greenhouse, so we have to keep an eye on it to ensure that the crops can grow normally." Liu Ping'an said seriously.
After hearing this, the manager nodded repeatedly, with a sincere look on his face, and said, "Don't worry, Chief Liu, we will strengthen management as you said, and we will make sure all the work in this greenhouse is done well to ensure that these crops can grow healthily and contribute to the harvest of our farm." As he spoke, he was silently thinking about the various management measures that would be implemented next, and he was determined to manage this greenhouse more meticulously and better.
After carefully inspecting the reservoir, farmland, pond and greenhouse area, Liu Ping'an and the buyers came to the spacious and bright meeting room of Qinjia Village Committee with all the situations and problems they had collected along the way. There were neatly arranged tables and chairs in the meeting room, and the sun shone through the window onto the table, reflecting a warm atmosphere. However, everyone's expression was serious. After all, they had to make a comprehensive and detailed summary of the inspection, which was related to the subsequent development of the farm and could not be sloppy.
After everyone took their seats, Liu Ping'an cleared his throat first and said solemnly, "Through this inspection, we have indeed found that the farm transformation in Qinjia Village has achieved certain results. Take the reservoir for example. The embankment is very solid after reinforcement, and the spillway is also kept wide and unobstructed. Looking at the crops, most of the wheat seedlings are growing vigorously, and the various crops in the vegetable greenhouse are also full of vitality. The temperature, humidity and other aspects are also well controlled. These are the results of everyone's joint efforts and deserve recognition."
At this point, Liu Ping'an paused slightly, his expression became more serious, and then he said: "However, we can't just see the good side. There are also some problems in this process that cannot be ignored. For example, there are signs of wheat seedling diseases and pests in the fields, and the fence beside the pond is damaged. These seem to be small problems, but if they are not solved in time, then over time, the impact on the farm will be huge. Therefore, our purchasing department must formulate complete and practical solutions to these problems as soon as possible, and we must ensure that the development of the farm is not affected by these problems. This is our top priority at the moment." Every word of Liu Ping'an was loud and clear, and his tone was full of seriousness and responsibility for his work.
At this time, the village chief couldn't help but frown, and took over the conversation with a worried look on his face and said: "Chief Liu, your coming this time is really timely and great. Although the overall progress of our farm transformation is relatively smooth, we have indeed encountered some troublesome problems. For example, with the continuous expansion of the scale of planting here, the demand for high-quality seeds and fertilizers has increased significantly. The stocks that were previously reserved are now a bit tight, which makes us very worried. After all, the quality of seeds is related to whether crops can thrive. If fertilizers are not supplied, the yield of crops will definitely be affected. These are all key factors related to the future harvest of our farm, so this matter has been on my mind, and I am very anxious." As the village chief spoke, he sighed helplessly, and his frown never relaxed, which shows that this problem really brought him a lot of pressure.
After listening to the village chief's words, Liu Pingan quickly picked up a pen and carefully recorded it in the notebook. He looked so focused as if he was recording extremely important confidential information. After recording, he raised his head, looked at the village chief firmly, and said sincerely and confidently: "Don't worry, village chief, our purchasing department will definitely solve the problem of seeds and fertilizers as soon as possible.
After I go back, I will contact all the major suppliers immediately and tell them in detail about our farm's current needs. I will try to have a good talk with them and allocate enough materials to you at the most favorable price. I will definitely not let the shortage of seeds and fertilizers affect the normal planting and subsequent development of our farm. You can rest assured, we will do our best to do this well. "
Liu Ping'an's words were like a reassurance to the village chief, and a hint of relief appeared on his face, which was originally full of worry.
Then, another villager said, "Chief Liu, we also want to introduce some new breeding species, such as special poultry and rare fish, but we don't know where to purchase suitable seedlings."
Liu Pingan thought for a moment and said, "Our purchasing department will also help to inquire about this matter. We have connections with many agricultural research institutions. Let's see if we can find a reliable source of seedlings through them."
After the symposium, Liu Pingan and his buyers returned to the city without stopping. As soon as he arrived at the unit, he immediately called everyone to a meeting to deploy the next procurement task.
