"Don't forget about North City," Old Zheng said with a chuckle. "That's an important grain base for our country."
"My spouse is planning to go back to the Qiao Family Team at the end of autumn to build a winter vegetable greenhouse and experiment with off-season vegetables. If it's successful, the people of North City will also be able to have green vegetables during winter."
The trip wasn't in vain; Old Zheng was pleased and said to He Xiuyu, "Our winters in North City are long, and during that time, besides pickled cabbage, potatoes, and large radishes, if we can get some green leafy vegetables, that would be truly great!"
Next, Old Zheng left a phone number for He Xiuyu, belonging to an official responsible for agriculture.
"This person is practical. I'll give him a heads up when I get back. You can be sure that he'll be of help if you need anything."
He Xiuyu thanked the two men again.
