Chapter 246 (2/2)
Knowing Gu Zheng's identity, old man Hu is relieved. In his opinion, Gu Zheng, as a professional top chef, must be knowledgeable and take him with him. Maybe he can really know why people only buy crops but not land.
In his eyes, the person who can get the first place in the Hangzhou food competition is already the top professional level and the existence he looks up to.
”Let's take my tractor together. It's hard to walk in the field, but the tractor is faster.”
Let the Zhao Pingchuan brothers and Gu Zheng get on their own tractor. Old man Hu no longer wastes time and drives towards his more than ten mu of land.
Old man Hu's home is on the edge of Qisong County, close to Qisong mountain. You can see more than ten mu of land within two or three miles north of his shop.
In fact, their land is easy to recognize, because the edge of this land is an inland river, and the river channel of the inland river happens to be a ”U” bend, which is his family's more than ten mu of land.
When they arrived, a dozen people were surrounded by long lines on the edge of the field. Most of them were wearing gray robes, pointing at the crops in the field, and their faces were also very excited.
Behind this group, there was only a middle-aged man in a black suit, probably in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked very energetic.
He didn't care much about the crops in the field. Instead, he kept staring at this side of the road until he saw old man Hu's tractor.
The roaring tractor sounded all the way. Old man Hu drove in front of them before he stopped.
After getting off the bus, old man Hu didn't pay attention to those people in gray robes. When he got off the tractor, he hurried to the man in suit, habitually rubbed his hands and said hello with embarrassment: ”I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting so long.”
The suit man waved his hand and didn't care about these small things. His eyes stayed on Gu Zheng.
As soon as Gu Zheng got off the bus, no one paid any attention. He went to the ridge and squatted down to look at the wheat planted in the field.
The light wind blew and rustled the ears of wheat, and a faint smell of rice came with the breeze.
”Tool spirit, what is this wheat?”
Gu Zheng couldn't tell what kind of wheat it was, so he simply handed over the identification to Qi Ling.
Soon, the sound of the spirit sounded in his heart.
”Ancient Zhancheng wheat, a crop comparable to alpine wheat, has now disappeared.”
”You lied to me? I know where Zhancheng wheat disappeared.” Gu Zheng certainly knew that Zhancheng wheat, also known as Zhenla wheat, originated in Zhancheng in central and southern Vietnam, so it was named Zhancheng. This kind of wheat is characterized by high yield, early maturity, drought resistance, strong adaptability and short production cycle. Since the Song Dynasty was introduced into China, it was quickly popularized in many areas.
Zhancheng is a special place. Although it is located in the subtropical zone, rice and wheat can be planted, and both are good. Zhancheng rice is also a famous variety.
”I'm talking about ancient Zhancheng wheat, not the kind of Zhancheng wheat you know now. Now Zhancheng wheat is a new kind of rice bred by hybridization the day after tomorrow. It can't be called Zhancheng wheat.”
Seeing that Gu Zheng didn't believe his words, Qi Ling carefully explained to him the difference between current Zhancheng Mai and ancient Zhancheng Mai.
Now Zhancheng wheat, after long-term development, people have constantly improved and planted, making it more able to display its advantages of high yield, early maturity, drought resistance, strong adaptability, short production cycle and so on. But at the same time, such improvement also makes Zhancheng wheat no different from ordinary wheat varieties.
The real ancient Zhancheng wheat not only has the characteristics of soft and waxy wheat in Jiangbei, but also has the characteristics of strong and sweet wheat in Northeast China. It is ground into flour with yellow color, which is precisely because it contains a large number of vitamin B and other nutritional elements, and the food material grade is comparable to alpine wheat.
As for whether Gaoshan wheat, known as the gold in rice, is more suitable for food raw materials or ancient Zhancheng wheat, there is no final conclusion.
Because now the ancient Zhancheng wheat has disappeared, only a small amount of Alpine wheat is still planted.
After hearing the explanation of Qi Ling, Gu Zheng was stunned for a few seconds, followed by shock.
It turns out that there is such a big difference. No wonder someone will spend the price of buying land to buy this piece of rice.
As long as these ten mu of ancient city wheat are transplanted properly, they can be inexhaustible like immortal rice in the ancient flood and wasteland space.
The man made a lot of money in this business, to be exact.
Finally understand the reason, Gu Zheng couldn't help raising his head and looking at the man in suit who was facing old man Hu.
Just then, the man in the suit was also looking at Gu Zheng. The two looked at each other. Gu Zheng nodded at him friendly.
In my heart, Gu Zheng still admires each other. The reason why he could see that the wheat seedlings planted in old man Hu's field were ancient Zhancheng wheat was also based on the identification ability of the instrument spirit, but the other party obviously found it by accident and bought all the ancient Zhancheng wheat in the field without saying a word.
However, Gu Zheng's friendly gesture did not let the man in the suit relax his vigilance. His eyes looking at Gu Zheng were still full of vigilance.
”Master Gu Zheng, have you found out the reason why those people only buy the crops in this field instead of the land?”
Zhao Pingchuan looked for a long time and didn't find any difference between the wheat in the field and ordinary wheat. He just saw that Gu Zheng seemed to have eyebrows and eyes and asked curiously.
”Well, I probably know why they did this.” Gu Zheng also withdrew his eyes from old man Hu and the man in suit and nodded.
”Really, master Gu Zheng, you can see!”
Without waiting for Zhao Pingchuan to speak, Zhao Pingshan, who squatted on the ridge and carefully observed the wheat seedlings in the field, suddenly stood up, looked at Gu Zheng and said, ”what magical place is this wheat that can compare with the value of this land?”
”I don't know if you've heard of ancient Zhancheng Mai?”
Gu Zheng smiled and asked.
Zhao Pingchuan and his Brothers shook their heads. If they found a car and asked their brothers to distinguish what brand and price it was, they would have to ask them about the crops in the field.
Gu Zheng didn't sell off. Seeing them shaking their heads, he repeated the appraisal results of Qiling about ancient Zhancheng wheat just now.
”No, even the Zhancheng wheat handed down in ancient times would not be sold so expensive? Qisong county is not a developed county, or the land in the county is worthless. The price of 30000 or 40000 yuan per mu is equal to that of 30000 or 40000 yuan per mu?”
”This is wheat seedling, which is clearly gold!”
Even planting some cash crops, there is no such high price for an acre of land. Unless the garlic in the hype period is cruel, it is not so expensive, so the Zhao Pingchuan brothers immediately shouted after listening, and they both couldn't believe it.
”Otherwise, what do you think is the price of a good restaurant, such as the Michelin 3-star hotel? Why is the price of a dish so expensive? The most important cost is in the invisible place, such as the choice of the ingredients.” Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and shrugged his shoulders.
Even if they don't believe it anymore, that's the truth.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the more delicious ingredients are, the more difficult it is to obtain, the price will continue to rise. It is the so-called thing that rarity is more expensive. In the earliest days, alpine wheat was also very cheap, only a little more expensive than ordinary rice. But because Alpine wheat is not easy to grow and has strict requirements on the growth environment and climate conditions, the output decreases year by year, the price is fried step by step, and finally got the title of gold in rice.
Take the current ten mu of ancient Zhancheng wheat as an example. If there are only ten mu of ancient Zhancheng wheat in the world, once its value is found, the price will be copied up immediately. At that time, let alone the price of one mu of land, even ten mu of land may not be able to change the material for one mu of ancient Zhancheng wheat seed.
However, the ancient Zhancheng wheat, after all, is not as delicate as the alpine wheat, with the characteristics of high yield, drought tolerance and strong adaptability, which is destined to be easily popularized.
As long as we are willing to invest in human and financial resources and have a suitable place, after a period of time, these more than ten mu of ancient Zhancheng wheat is likely to become 100 mu, or even thousands of mu. However, it is difficult to take care of more. Second-class ingredients are not so easy to take care of. No matter how much, it is likely that we will not be able to manage. Moreover, too many wheat varieties together may reduce the quality of ingredients under the influence of various factors.
”That's also...”
Zhao Pingchuan and Zhao Pingshan looked at each other and soon figured out the truth. Only then did they put away the expression they couldn't believe before. Zhao Pingshan also looked at old man Hu with envy. A trace of jealousy rose in his heart and muttered, ”Hey, old man Hu, this is really good luck. He has been guarding their land and finally got a baby.”
”It can't be said that the ancient Zhancheng wheat is in the hands of old man Hu. It's just ordinary wheat. It's not worth a lot of money. But it's worth thousands of gold in the eyes of people who know goods like master Gu Zheng.”
Zhao Pingchuan and his brother have different ideas. Although they envy old man Hu's luck, they are not jealous.
”Brother Zhao is right. A good thing like this can only be put into the hands of people who understand it. Gu Zheng smiled and said to Zhao Pingshan:” in fact, for ordinary people, the biggest role of wheat is to serve as food, that is, we all live well now and have a higher pursuit of food, which will make these ingredients expensive. ”
Gu Zheng is talking with brother Zhao Pingchuan here. On the other side, old man Hu and man in suit discuss the land sale. It seems that something is wrong.
Old man Hu, who was just smiling and waiting to sign the sales contract, hesitated. He looked hesitant and couldn't make up his mind. He didn't know what he was embarrassed.
