Chapter 382 Disaster in the vegetable growing area

"After the Gulf War, the Ministry of Defense praised the Hummer's function, and all military cars were switched to this kind of car. This one was probably an improved model sent to Warren Air Force Base."

Gabriel shivered, his muscles could not resist the cold winter in nature, and could only shovel snow to warm himself up.

Han’s father finally found something was wrong. It was too new. He lifted the hood of the development motorcycle, and the stainless steel pipes were shiny, but the license plate was still the same as before.

Asked, "What did they give us this car?"

"It must be showing goodwill and keeping the old car for yourself. As long as the quantity is correct, no one will check if the car is new."

Han Xuan saw a letter posted on the window glass and pulled open the car door hard.

A key was inserted into the keyhole, and I picked up the envelope and looked at it, which read Linden's name.

He tore open the envelope and introduced that the car was sent to the original factory for repair. He used this car to replace it first. It was originally distributed to his own officers' car by the base, but recently he was going to the Middle East to perform a mission, but it is not available yet.

"Look, I just said that's it."

My father took the letter from his son, and after reading it, he asked George to burn the lighter, so he couldn't cause trouble for the other party. He laughed and said, "It's our previous car, but it's just a different color, let's go! Let's go to the vegetable plantation!"

Han Xuan stepped into the passenger seat on the snow.

The cowhide seat was cold and gasped, and the two bodyguards followed him into the car.

Dad was excited to ignite the fire. The weather was too cold and it started several times before starting. The cowboys gave up a road. Hummer's rough tires pressed over the snow and entered the opened road.

The body of the car is quite heavy, and it does not slip at all when driving on the frozen ground. The engine is stronger than the previous one, and you can feel it by listening to the sound.

Seeing the foggy window glass, Han Xuan wiped the sleeves with his sleeves. He was surprised to find that the glass was very thick. He bent his fingers and knocked it. The glove hit it on it almost made no sound. He said, "Bulnerable?"

Jason turned his head and glanced at him. He replied: "I guess it was found that this kind of car has weak defense in actual combat, and the steel plates of these car bodies have also been thickened."

Han’s father accelerated the speed, and the half-meter-high snow was pressed directly over. He was relaxed and free, and the wiper swept the snowflakes that fell on the car window and smiled and said, “Everything else is good, but the seats are too hard. I modified the one before. I had time to send it to the Great Falls City and add a layer of cushions…”

The snow that had just been shoveled in the morning is now piled up thirty or forty centimeters high. I encountered several vegetable transport trucks on the road, and it took a lot of effort to get the train.

A large area of ​​old cowshed collapsed, and the big wild boar ran out again, struggling forward in the snow, and wandered around and found it was too cold, so he returned to the cowshed to hide.

Soon I came to the vegetable planting area and saw many vegetable sheds being broken from afar. Many workers were scrambling to pick vegetables.

The three hundred-watt yellow tungsten wire lamp was lit up, and one was hung six meters away, with white mist evaporating around it.

Growing vegetables in winter is especially power-consuming. Correspondingly, the price of vegetables will also increase, and you can still make money. People who come to buy vegetables in the snow mountain ranch generally will not be short of money. They focus on health.

The snow on the ground was crushed by the truck and iced, and creaking sounds kept coming during the Hummer's driving.

Baskets of vegetables that have not yet been frozen are carried onto the truck and transported to the warehouse for storage. After the snow melts, the road is clear before transporting it out for sale.

I asked a few people and found Lewis. He was working on the battlefield himself, busy and enthusiastic.

In the middle of this vegetable greenhouse, there was a plastic film of more than four meters collapsed. The temperature inside was the same as that outside. The garlic was cold-resistant and had not been frozen yet. I didn't bother to clean the soil and quickly pulled up the mature ones and threw them into the vegetable basket.

Seeing the boss coming, he straightened his waist and took off his mask. The thick air he had breathed condensed into small drops of water, which was blown away by the wind.

Lewis said: "I reminded me two days ago that a cold wave was coming, but I didn't expect it to be so serious and I was careless.

If you lay straw mats on the vegetable shed in advance and call more people to sweep the snow, you won’t be like this now.”

"It's not your business, Mr. Lewis, no one expected that the snowfall would be so heavy today, how would the loss be?" Han Xuan asked him.

"One hundred and seventy-five greenhouses were broken."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang sounded not far away, and Lewis said disheartenedly: "One hundred and seventy-six seats are here.

There was a power outage for several hours in the morning, and water was sprinkled in the greenhouse yesterday, causing the ground to freeze. Although the appearance was good, their roots were actually frozen.

Many fruits and vegetables will be available in half a month. I originally wanted to wait until I harvested and plant some cold-resistant vegetables, but now it is useless. I can only pick the ones that can be sold and pick them down, and minimize the losses. I will lose at least one million US dollars."

"Only one million? That's good, it's much smaller than I thought." Han's father was afraid of patting his chest. There were more than 5,000 greenhouses here, and less than 200 were lost. The snow fell like this overnight, and it was only a loss of so much money to satisfy him.

"I took out five hundred people from the orchard and came over. When the road was opened, I helped to cover the straw mat and keep the heat in. Don't stop the tungsten wire lamp. Don't want these frozen vegetables. It's important to take care of the vegetables in other greenhouses and let people sweep the snow."

Hearing that the boss was not guilty, Lewis breathed a sigh of relief, "I know, I just planted the hazel seedlings with truffle mycorrhizal yesterday morning, and I guess they are almost frozen to death now.

With this loss and the money for future reconstruction, it may be around 2 million US dollars. We can only expect that other places will be affected as well. The price of vegetables will rise, which should make up for some losses."

Han Xuan squinted his eyes. This kind of idea is not something that ordinary people can imagine. He said: "The cold wave reaches Mexico and will stop only when it encounters a warm current. It is estimated that most of the United States will be affected.

Prices will definitely rise, and the next Thanksgiving and Christmas are the peak sales period, and the number of organic vegetables is limited, so wait a few days before selling them.”

Lewis nodded and looked at the half-ripe garlic, which gradually became stiff in the wind and snow, and his heartbroken eyes twitched.

There was a noise from afar. Han Xuan looked back and saw a large group of black-nosed sheep walking in the snow. Several lambs were trapped in the snow, screaming miserably, and the workers were rescued.

Swiss black-nosed sheep like snow, but the temperature today is too low. I cut them hair last month, but now it has become a bad thing.

The strongest head sheep opened the way, and other black-nosed sheep walked along its footsteps. After a safe arrival, the ram exhausted all his strength and collapsed to the ground.

An employee quickly asked someone to help and moved it into the greenhouse for heating. The little guys shivered and ran to Han Xuan together.

Han Xuan hugged the head of the little black-nosed sheep and rubbed it. The snowflakes fell all over the ground. He found that its muscles were twitching. He quickly opened a greenhouse and let them in.

The black-nosed sheep felt the warmth and wisely walked in. The grass outside was covered with snow, and she was hungry and ate the lettuce on the ground.

No one stopped them, and after living together for several months, the staff in the vegetable growing area loved them very much.

After arranging the matter, seeing that Lewis had something to do, Han Xuan said, "Dad, let's go to the resort area. It's not far away. If there is no road, we walk over."

"Okay, I didn't call Jensen at home, go and have a look" (To be continued.)
