Xianyuan Farm
Chapter 231: Picky Hall (Subscribe)
Near noon, Gu Hongyu, Bomangu and a group of others stood at the entrance of the village facing the cold wind, waiting for a group of foreign inspection groups that were about to arrive here.
According to Mr. Bomangu, this time his friend Hall brought a dozen agricultural professionals to Honghu Village to inspect Gu Hongyu’s agricultural projects. If nothing else goes wrong, they will work with Gu Hongyu. Hongyu cooperates in many aspects of agriculture.
However, the cold weather was unbearable for some people. Uncle Aza was wrapped like a rice dumpling and still shivering slightly.
"Uncle Aza, why don't you go back and we'll wait!" Gu Hongyu was very grateful to Uncle Aza who insisted on coming to greet the inspection team, but this was really not the time for the older man to show off.
Uncle Aza gritted his teeth and shook his head: "It's okay, the cold wind is far worse than before. We didn't have these cotton-padded jackets to wear at that time, so we still got through it the same way!"
"No, it was before, and now is now. If anything happens, I can't forgive myself. There will be other things for you to do in Honghu Village in the future. You can't be brave at this time!" Gu Hongyu's attitude was very firm.
After speaking, Uncle Aza turned to Bomangu on the other side and said: "Bomangu, you Americans just don't follow time when doing things. It's been more than an hour. If not, I plan to go home. Let's go home." If they come to my house by themselves, don’t say that I don’t respect this inspection team!”
"It should be soon. They agreed to set off at nine o'clock, but it's not yet 12 o'clock!" Bomangu was also very embarrassed to speak to Gu Hongyu because the inspection team had not arrived.
Facing Bomangu, who was also very young, Gu Hongyu couldn't say anything unpleasant. Just as he urged Uncle Aza to go back, he heard Bomangu shouting loudly: "Here he comes. Look, there is a car in the distance." The driving shadows, those cars must be the team led by Hall!"
Uncle Aza did not make it. When the convoy arrived, Gu Hongyu and Bomangu were dumbfounded. It turned out that this convoy exceeded everyone's imagination. This was not an inspection team of more than ten people. There were probably thirty people in the truck carrying the equipment.
"Didn't you say there were only about ten people?" Gu Hongyu asked Bomangu quietly.
Bomangu also had a wry smile on his face: "I really don't know this, how about I ask him later?"
Seeing Gu Hongyu and Bomangu standing on the side of the road, the convoy immediately stopped, and soon an old man with gray hair came down from the top. He had a round figure and looked very funny in a suit. He was wearing trousers. The buttons of his shirt were so tight that they looked as if they couldn't bear it and would pop off at any moment.
Although he is very fat, the old man is getting better and his voice is very loud. Seeing Bo Mangu standing next to him, he immediately said in English: "Oh, dear Mangu, it's so nice to see you here!"
Boss Boman greeted him enthusiastically and said exaggeratedly: "Hall, I am the same. I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to have gained weight again. This is not good!"
"I can't help it. Isn't there an old saying in China? Some people grow taller when they drink water!" Hall proudly spoke in Chinese here. It seemed that he had done a lot of homework before coming here.
But was there such a saying in ancient China? Gu Hongyu thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. In the end, he only remembered this sentence. It means drinking water to satisfy one's feelings, and it does not mean drinking water will make one healthy. Then Hall doesn't understand the profoundness of Chinese at all, so he just quoted it out of context!
"Old Hall. Come on, let me introduce you. The young man standing next to me is Gu Hongyu. I call him Gu. He grew the vegetables you inspected this time. You haven't tasted it. It tastes better than their vegetables, it's so delicious." Bomangu said everything with an exaggerated expression.
"Hello, Gu, young man from China!" Old Hall extended his right hand to Gu Hongyu.
Gu Hongyu dared to accept it and stretched out his right hand to hold it with Old Hall, and said in a deep voice: "Welcome to China as a guest, I think it will be a wonderful trip for you!"
"Oh, really, if that's the case, that would be perfect. China is a magical country. When Mangu talked about this place, he was full of praise. There are also such magical vegetables. For those of us who are engaged in agriculture, they can come here. It’s a great honor here.” From now on, Hall behaves like a gentleman.
"Okay, everyone, please stop standing here stupidly. When you get to Gu's home, there will be more surprises waiting for you!" Bomangu said. The surprise he said was also the surprise in Gu Hongyu's home. A spiritual animal!
Sure enough, after placing the large team of people in the former disaster relief tent, Gu Hongyu took Old Hall and several of his personal assistants towards the wooden house on the shore of Hong Lake. Before they could get close, a shadow stopped outside the door of the wooden house. In the air, he shouted crisply: "Welcome, welcome, welcome!"
This place was not arranged by Gu Hongyu, not only the foreigner but also him was surprised.
"Gu, this is your parrot. It's so smart. Did you teach it in advance? But it still gave us a big surprise!" Old Hall followed Bomangu and called Gu Hongyu "Gu" 'Character.
Gu Hongyu waved his hands and replied in English: "No, no, no, I didn't teach this parrot. It's completely unexpected to come out to greet you this time!"
Bo Mangu, who was afraid that Hall wouldn't believe it, also said: "Old Hall, I can testify to this matter. This parrot has never been taught before. It is the smartest parrot I have ever found!"
"Ah..." Hall was obviously particularly interested in this parrot. He stared at the Coke with shining eyes and asked nonchalantly: "Gu, I like this parrot very much. Tell me." How much do I want to buy it for?”
With this sentence, Gu Hongyu's impression of Hall changed drastically. If Gu Hongyu had a good impression of Hall at first because he maintained a gentlemanly demeanor, after this sentence, Gu Hongyu only felt that he was a bit like him recently. The nouveau riche from China should not be called tycoons now!
I think that having money means that I am the king of heaven. I don’t take others seriously, and I don’t ask for other people’s opinions. I just talk about how much money I want. I really think that having money can solve all problems.
But he didn't know if Gu Hongyu was still short of money. Even the high-quality gems placed in the space are piled up like a hill. Not to mention these windfalls, the current industries in Honghu Village are also money-attracting monsters that create wealth.
As soon as Hall mentioned the money, Bomangu looked at Gu Hongyu with a wrong expression. He had stayed in Honghu Village for a while and it was not for nothing. He knew Gu Hongyu's strength more or less, but he was not giving Old Hall's overseas help. I didn't describe it in such detail on the phone.
"Hall. These animals are Gu's treasures. He won't sell them, so don't make any plans!" Bomangu said quickly.
"Oh, then should I offer 500,000 US dollars to sell this parrot?" Old Hall said to Gu Hongyu nonchalantly. He understood that there was nothing he couldn't buy, but he just didn't give the other party satisfaction. price point.
Gu Hongyu thought that there would be an inspection next. If he drove people away directly, it would only mean that the Chinese people had no grace. He held his breath for the time being and said in a deep voice: "Sorry, don't say 500,000. I don't know how to pay even 5 million." Sell!"
"That's 500,000 US dollars, not RMB. Is there really no room for negotiation?" It seemed that he was asking Gu Hongyu, but Old Hall acted condescending.
"That can only disappoint you. I'm sorry, this parrot is not for sale!" Gu Hongyu replied coldly.
Looking at the scene a little coldly, Gu Hongyu answered firmly. Old Hall smiled faintly: "Haha. Just kidding, since Gu doesn't want to sell his pets, naturally we can't force him. But you can contact me at any time if you change your mind. "
"This joke is not funny at all. I hope I won't make such a joke next time!" Gu Hongyu showed no mercy at all.
It was Bomangu who eased the atmosphere at the scene and said: "Hall, aren't you here to inspect agriculture this time? Let's taste the food first. Today at noon, Gu has specially prepared a wealth of ingredients, which will definitely satisfy you. This fat guy can't stop."
The meal prepared by Gu Hongyu's house at noon was not rich. Since Hall and the others came here for vegetables, of course he prepared all kinds of vegetables and made them into different dishes.
Tomato scrambled eggs, tomato and meat slice soup, cold cucumber, fried meat with cucumber strips, minced eggplant, fish-flavored eggplant, amber green pepper, dry stir-fried beans...the whole table was filled.
"Have a try, Gu is good at cooking, but he learned it from his mother. Being able to eat the dishes cooked by Gu's mother today is not a treat for ordinary people!" Bomangu said to himself while talking. He pierced the stir-fried beans with his fork. He was still not used to using chopsticks and could only eat the delicacies on the table like this.
"Well, it's really good!" Old Hall said in a slow and gentle tone, putting the cold cucumber into his mouth with a fork and chewing it.
After trying the dishes on the table, Old Hall looked very calm, but inside he was already in a state of shock.
As someone who is engaged in agricultural production and is also a gourmet, he can tell whether there are food additives in these vegetable dishes in one bite. Old Hall, a Chinese vegetable farmer, still knows a lot about it. Many places are contaminated and cannot grow high-quality vegetables. Quality vegetables, but the vegetables Gu Hongyu put on the table today shocked him.
Hall made up his mind to cooperate with Gu Hongyu when he took his first bite of vegetables. However, as a businessman, if he wanted to strive for more profits during cooperation, Hall could not act too surprised and could only face it. Not a bad thing to say without expression!
The assistants who followed Hall to the table also slowly tasted all the vegetables on the table, but did not say anything. They just understood something after hearing Hall's words. This kind of thing is also Not once or twice, their performance is about to begin.
A scene with one red face and one black face!
Gu Hongyu paid full attention to the reactions of Hall and the others. Although several of the assistants showed expressions of enjoyment when they tasted the dishes, it was still clearly noticed by Gu Hongyu, even though it only lasted for a few seconds. Hall controlled it very well, but the subtle changes on his face could not escape his eyes.
"I'm afraid these people are a little too young to sing in front of me." Gu Hongyu secretly smiled!
