I Run a Gas Station in the Northwest

During the Lunar New Year, Xia is a national holiday, which is a public holiday for everyone, and Uighurs will also have a holiday

But in fact, Uighurs also have their own traditional spring festival. When this festival comes, they will have holidays to celebrate, so they have more holidays than Xia people.

This Spring Festival for Uighurs is Nowruz.

Nowruz Festival is held when everything is resurrected and the earth rejuvenates. It is also about every year at the spring equinox on March 20th and lasts until the end of Qingming Festival.

Of course, modern society only takes three days off, and it is impossible to do two weeks like in ancient times.

The Uighurs divide the time of this day into six segments, and each segment is called a watch, including sunrise watch, noon watch, sunset watch, star appearance watch, midnight watch and dawn watch.

They will start from the dawn of that day, men, women and children will wear national costumes and hold festivals.

For example, the most respected people in the village will use wheat grains to cultivate young crops, and then give them to the people in the village as a blessing;

For example, everyone will do a lot of food celebrations. The most famous one is the "Norruz rice" from the first day. After eating the nowruz rice and five-grain porridge, they will go out for New Year greetings at noon when they come. Kind of activity

For another example, everyone will burn the pine branches in the middle of the house, turn the smoking branches around everyone's head, let the animals pass through at the door of the stables, and pray for a strong body and rapid reproduction...

Chen Mu is not a Uighur, but it is rare for the old man to come to the gas station with Aunt Gu Li. The pine branches they lighted up dignified the pine branches around Chen Mu's head.

Chen Mu tensed his body and allowed the two old men to fiddle, his eyes circled with the pine branches, for fear that the burning place of the pine branches would fall on his head, causing his hair to burn.

The two elders paid great attention to this ceremony. When it was finished, Aunt Gu Li said, "Your parents are gone. I have to worry about this kind of thing for them. You should find a girl to get married. Any girl is fine. Continuing offspring for your Chen family."

Any girl is good...

This is so casual...

Although Chen Mu felt funny in his heart, on the surface, he quickly agreed without hesitation.

At this time, there can be no hesitation, otherwise the Uyghur aunt can nag you for a day until midnight.

After the two elders finished this, they were about to leave, saying that they must rush back to the village as soon as possible. There are still many things there.

Today is the first day of Nowruz. There are many ceremonies to be done in the village. The two elders are so embarrassed: "Since you have so many things to do, don’t come today. It’s the same if you come back tomorrow."

Aunt Gulistan shook her head: "Some things have to be done today. It will be bad after a while."

Dare to love them because they really came here to use the burning pine branches to circle their heads...

Suddenly realizing this, Chen Mu felt a little warm in his heart, but at the same time he couldn't help muttering: Is this to pray for a strong body or to breed quickly?

Chen Mu thought for a while, and decided to send the two old men back to Yakash Village.

He had heard that on Nowruz Day, the village would make many delicious foods, but because he was afraid that there would be too much noise, and he was such an outsider, it was tiring to participate in so many ceremonies, so he didn't go.

Now that the two elders are here, he thinks he can follow along and have a look.

I just changed my clothes and was about to go out. Unexpectedly, a black Audi a6 drove directly into the gas station and stopped in front of the business room.

From the car, an acquaintance walked out of the car, and he was actually the Huang private chief who was a high-tech privateer who had previously met in Muqi City.

Behind Huang's private manager, there was a young girl who looked like a secretary, who looked very beautiful.

Chen Mu looked at Mr. Huang in surprise: "Why are you here? This... I didn't even call me beforehand, I didn't prepare."

Huang Zichang smiled and said: "What are you going to prepare? I just want to give you a surprise check to see the real situation of your research institute."

Chen Mu was dumbfounded for a while, and everyone came without him, so he couldn't help but receive him.

He thought for a while, turned his head and said apologetically to the Uyghur elderly couple: "Uncle and aunt, it seems that you have to go by yourself first. I have something to do here, and I can't go today."

The Uyghur elderly couple had never thought that Chen Mu would go together, and it was nothing. The old man glanced at Huang Zichang and asked in a low voice, "Should I help?"

Chen Mu shook his head: "No, uncle, you can go home with your aunt quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to catch up with your party."

Chen Mu had just heard from the old man that there would be a dinner in the village at lunch. All the villagers would gather for a meal and sing and dance to celebrate Nowruz.

I wanted to join in the fun, but now it looks like it's not working.

The Uighur old man and Aunt Gu Li both hugged Chen Mu before leaving the gas station.

When Aunt Gu Li was leaving, she touched Chen Mu's face and said a few New Year blessings in Uighur, very solemnly.

Chen Mu sent the two elders out with a smile. Except for the few people who are really related to him in this world, they are also his relatives.

Private Chief Huang and the female secretary behind him have been watching the interaction between Chen Mu and the Uighur elderly couple with great interest. After the two elderly people left, private Chief Huang smiled and said: "I heard that you are here and local. The common people of China act like a family, and now it seems that it is not exaggerated at all."

Chen Mu smiled and asked, "Private Chief Huang, which part of the surprise inspection do you want to inspect?"

Private Chief Huang pointed to the forest farm and research institute behind the gas station: "Of course I want to visit your forest farm and research institute."

Chen Mu said, "Private Huang, visiting the forest farm is okay, but you really didn’t come at the right time this time. Today is the Nowruz Festival for Uyghurs. The head of our research institute Anal Guli is not here. It’s a good way to introduce our research institute to you."

Mr. Huang nodded helplessly: "I know that today was a coincidence, but there is no way. I received a notice from the capital that there is a very urgent matter that needs me to go back to deal with, so I will leave tomorrow. I came to you in a hurry today to have a look, and then I can go back and report to others."

Chen Mu didn't know who the person Huang Shi was talking about was, but he had already expressed the attitude of looking at it no matter what. He didn't twitch, and led the person directly into it.

As he walked, he tentatively asked: "Private Huang, after our patent application is approved, is there any policy or support plan here to help us promote this technology?"

Of course, Mr. Huang understood what Chen Mu meant, smiled slightly, did not answer, and asked, "Then tell me, what promotion plan do you have? What kind of policy or support plan do you need us to give you to help you promote?"

Chen Mu smiled embarrassedly, knowing that his question was a bit convincing, and hurriedly hit the spot by haha: "Sir Huang, our forestry company has just been established for half a year, and we don’t have money, and we don’t have many people. This The condition...well, it’s very limited. If you don’t help us with your so much energy, I’m worried that our technology won’t be promoted for a while. I’m afraid it will waste a lot of time.”

"What you said makes sense."

The private chief Huang groaned for a while before he said again: "Chen Mu, although we have only met twice and we don’t know much about each other, I still want to talk to you if we have a shallow conversation. Said."

"You say."

"Technology patents are yours. If you promote it, you will get great benefits and benefits. This should be clear? So, of course, promotion also depends on you. Your company itself should promote technology. Main force."

The words are a bit convoluted, but to put it bluntly, the technology belongs to your Muya Forestry. It is you who promote it to make money, so of course you should promote it yourself.

Chen Mu originally wanted to take the high-speed train to see if there was a chance to take a ride, but now it seems that his principle is very clear: if you want to make money, do it by yourself, don't think about things.

Private Chief Huang glanced at Chen Mu and continued: "However, given the particularity of your patented technology, the state is not unable to give some help, but this can only be done if permitted by the law."

Please, don't pant so much when you speak, it's really anxious.

Chen Mu was overjoyed, although from the bottom of his heart he couldn't help but secretly slander the other party in official language, but after all, he was relieved, which is very surprising.

Mr. Huang said: "Don't think too much about it now. When your patent application is approved, we will discuss it with the Ministry of Agriculture. As long as the conditions are met, we will definitely support you."

"Thank you, Mr. Huang."

Although it was only a verbal promise from other leaders, Chen Mu felt that he had got what he wanted, and felt that he was not at a loss today, so he quickly thanked him.

Mr. Huang pointed to the nursery area in front of him: "You can give us a good introduction to your seedlings now, right?"

Unconsciously, the three people have walked into Chang and came to the nursery.

Mr. Huang looked around, looked at the forest outside the nursery area, and asked: "Are these trees planted by you for half a year?"

Chen Mu nodded: "Yes, at the beginning I thought it was too barren and deserted, so I wanted to plant some trees to make it look greener, so I planted some trees."

Mr. Huang nodded and praised: "It's amazing, you can plant so many trees, even if you don't have this forestry company, you can be regarded as contributing to the country."

Chen Mu was embarrassed: "It's not a contribution, anyway, I'm idle, it's purely for myself."

"These are the seedlings you raised?"

"Yes."

"I heard that the seedlings raised here are very viable. They are all rushing to buy them in the market, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Mu acted as an instructor to explain the advantages of his own saplings to the leaders: "It is mainly through our cultivation technology that the roots of the saplings can grow more developed. Compared with ordinary saplings, its roots can last for five days. within……"

After listening to Chen Mu’s introduction, Mr. Huang thought for a while and said: “It looks very good. I hope you can continue to expand production capacity in the future. Tree planting and sand control are not only in the northwest. The Three North Project requires a lot of good Saplings, I can ask the relevant department for you later, if they need it, I will ask them to come to you directly."

This is to help grow business...

Chen Mu hurriedly thanked him repeatedly, and after seeing the forest farm, he continued to lead the leaders to the research institute diligently.

In the academy, except for the female dean Anal Guli, who returned home for Nowruz, everyone was working as usual.

Chen Mu is actually not familiar with the research institute. The key is that there are a lot of instruments and equipment. He can't even call him a name, so he can't introduce him to the leader.

I was thinking about finding someone to help me. I didn’t expect to see Yang Xiaoqi as soon as he entered the door. His eyes were bright and he immediately reached out and said, "Yang Xiaoqi, come here, today there are two guests visiting our research institute, you Lead the way and introduce it."

He didn't ask Yang Xiaoqi if he was free, so he grabbed Ding directly, so that Yang Xiaoqi had no room to refuse.

Yang Xiaoqi was walking, looking down at the document. Hearing what Chen Mu said, he could not help but raised his head in a bit of astonishment. He looked this way and pushed his glasses subconsciously. The nerd breath was particularly heavy.

"Come here now!"

After Chen Mu called Yang Xiaoqi over, he introduced to Mr. Huang, "Prince Huang, this is Yang Xiaoqi, our senior R&D engineer, let him take us to the research institute next."

He especially added the word "senior" in front of "R&D engineer" to make Yang Xiaoqi look more advanced, and his reception has become more advanced.

The private chief Huang smiled and did not speak. Chen Mu said to Yang Xiaoqi: "Yang Xiaoqi, come on, let's get started, take us around the research institute, you will introduce it."

Yang Xiaoqi appeared reluctant. Under Chen Mu's eyes, he could only act as a tour guide: "Well, now on the left side of the door, there is our main laboratory, which is equipped with an ultra-clean workbench and a microbiological laboratory. Mass spectrometer, colony counter, pipette, fluorescence polarization scanner...Although there is still a little gap with the world-class agricultural and forestry laboratory, the equipment we currently need is basically all equipped...The architecture of our laboratory mainly……"

Listening to Yang Xiaoqi's introduction, Chen Mu secretly wiped his sweat. If he was asked to do this, I am afraid that he would not be able to say anything, let alone the introduction, so he would probably have nothing to do with it.

In addition to a heavier foundation, Yang Xiaoqi still looks very good in terms of professionalism. He knows everything in the research institute and feels really like a scientist.

Anyway, Chen Mu, as the boss, is very satisfied with Yang Xiaoqi's performance.

As for Mr. Huang and his female secretary, they should also be satisfied.

They listened very carefully. While listening, Mr. Huang asked one or two questions from time to time, and they all came to the point. He was obviously an expert.

When Yang Xiaoqi explained and introduced the guests, the expression on his face was serious and a little nervous, and his expression and temperament were very in line with his own personality.

But in his heart, he was extremely calm, turning his mind, analyzing the origin of the "Huang private chief" in front of him.

Just now when Chen Mu was leading Huang's private chief to wander around the forest farm, Yang Xiaoqi had noticed it for the first time, and stood behind the curtains upstairs to observe for a long time.

Although it was far away, Yang Xiaoqi was able to recognize people. He quickly learned from Huang's private chief's gestures that the person with Chen Mu should be an official, and he was an official with a low position.

Therefore, when he saw Chen Mu leading Huang's private chief wandering around in the forest farm, he walked toward the research institute, his mind turned sharply, and immediately left his office, pretending that something went through the gate of the research institute, and Chen Mu "coincidentally met" them.

And Chen Mu also very "cooperatively" stopped him and asked him to help as a tour guide.

Yang Xiaoqi took a close look at the two guests that Chen Mu brought in. The middle-aged man should indeed be an official, and the style and temperament that radiated from him should be an official in a high position.

Then, Chen Mu's "Huang private chief" really proved Yang Xiaoqi's guess.

"Private Huang? Is it from the capital? Which department's private manager? Why come here? Is this Chen Mu's unknown background? Or maybe he is because of other..."

A lot of questions popped up in Yang Xiaoqi's heart for an instant, all of which were waiting for him to find out.

Leading people around the research institute, although Chen Mu and Huang's private manager did not have many conversations, most of the time it was his tour guide who was talking, but Yang Xiaoqi still learned from the only few conversations between Chen Mu and Huang private manager In, found that the relationship between the two is not so "familiar."

Or it should be said that the relationship between them is not the kind of "backstage" relationship.

In other words, this is Chen Mu's normal reception of this private head from Beijing.

So why did this private manager come to visit a small forestry company?

Yang Xiaoqi was even more puzzled. His mind turned very fast. Although there were many kinds of guesses, there was no way to analyze a more reliable answer from these guesses.

"Behind this is our motor room. In order to ensure the stability of the power supply in the laboratory, when we were building this research institute, we purchased two sets of generator sets, one for common use and one for standby..."

When the research institute was built, the power unit was almost the place where the investment was the largest. When Chen Mu watched the delivery, his heart was bleeding for a long time, so he didn’t let Yang Xiaoqi say that he took the initiative in the motor room. The introduction was very emotional: "Private Minister Huang, we don’t have electricity here. It’s really not easy to use electricity. It's all on our own to generate electricity. It's not funny to say that the building of the motherland depends on our own love... Also, we can't get online here, there is no signal, and the environment is really unfriendly to us..."

After complaining about bitterness, Chen Mu smoothly turned the topic to support: "Prince Huang, after our patent application is approved, you must support us more. We are really a small business. Small, there is no way to promote it quickly..."

When Chen Mu Balabara spoke to Huang's private chief, Yang Xiaoqi heard the keywords in it all at once, and couldn't help but move slightly: "Patent application? What patent application? Could it be that they applied for a patent?"

Suddenly, Yang Xiaoqi felt a little panicked inexplicably. He only felt that something unfavorable to him was already happening.
