Chapter 132: One Person, Four Dogs (Monthly Ticket) 12,400
18138
One person led four dogs and walked along the North-South Street of Caojiazhuang to the mountain at the north end of the village. On the way, he met a few villagers. He originally wanted to say hello and say a few words to Cao Shujie, but he saw Daha and Erha holding their heads high.
The dog's head and dog's eyes looked at them, and there was a sense of danger. These villagers were so frightened that they took a few steps back and kept a safe distance from Cao Shujie.
"Oh!" Daha watched the 'enemy' retreat, and its iconic cry sounded, seeming to show off its pride.
Erha also followed the wolf howl of "Oh, oh, oh" several times. It stood up on its two hind legs, and its two front legs danced wildly in the air. Then its two hind legs jumped forward, as if
Dancing.
Two three-month-old German shepherds are not actually puppies anymore.
Dahei already weighs over 30 kilograms, while Xiaohei is a little less, but still weighs more than 28 kilograms. Both brothers are 40 centimeters tall, only one fist shorter than two huskies.
From a pure appearance point of view, the two German Shepherds look more fierce and majestic.
The two brothers couldn't learn the funny skills of Brother Daha and Brother Erha, but when they stood next to Cao Shujie, no one dared to approach him.
"Shujie, why do you have four such big dogs?" Lu Jiakun said to him.
Seeing all four dogs looking at him, Lu Jiakun was so frightened that he wanted to go home and close the door, but he still said forcefully: "You dogs, look at whatever you want. If you look again, I will kill you."
When Cao Shujie saw him, he didn't expose the fact that he was afraid, and even called him uncle with a smile.
In terms of relationship, Lu Jiakun is the biological uncle of Cao Shujie's younger brother Cao Shulun.
In Caojiazhuang, the relationship is so close.
Walking from south to north, I dare not say that you can be related to each other from house to house, but more than half of the people can indeed be regarded as "one of our own".
"Uncle, there is construction going on on the mountain. I'll go over and take a look first." Cao Shujie said.
Lu Jiakun quickly waved his hand, as if to chase him away, and said: "Shujie, go quickly. Don't hold the four of them next time you come out. They look weird."
"Okay." Cao Shujie agreed.
He did not say that these four dogs "don't bite". If they didn't bite, he wouldn't keep them.
Even Cao Shujie was not satisfied with raising these four dogs.
After all the 117 acres of mountainous land just contracted are cleared, pasture will be planted and pigs, cattle and sheep will be raised. The two areas add up to more than 200 acres of land. By then, a patrol will take a long time. Cao Shujie cannot guarantee that
There is nothing unusual in such a large place, and a few fierce dogs are his final safety guarantee.
He thought that if there was a chance, he would find a place to get more.
…
When Cao Shujie came to the mountain, he saw that Chen Lei's people were still installing a drip irrigation system in the first phase.
After this period of busy work, the renovation project is actually nearing completion.
Seeing Cao Shujie coming over, Lu Beihai, the technician responsible for tracking the project, nodded politely and greeted Cao Shujie.
"Boss Cao, you are here." Lu Beihai said with a smile.
Cao Shujie nodded and asked, "Gong Lu, how did you do?"
If it hadn't been delayed by the rain, this project would have been completed long ago.
Lu Beihai pointed to a part of the southwest corner and said, "That's all that's left. Once it's done, it's done."
"When the time comes, Boss Cao will turn on the machine and give it a try to see what the effect is."
"Okay, call me when you're done." Cao Shujie said.
Cao Shujie did not enter the orchard, but walked north along the path from outside the wire fence.
When passing by the old orchard, a stronger aroma of apples drifted over in the wind, and he couldn't help but swallow.
He also told himself: "Go and see the construction situation first, and then come back later to pick a few apples and take them home to eat."
Four dogs were pulling him in front. As soon as he got around the barbed wire guardrail, Cao Shujie saw a new row of barbed wire guardrails erected to the north.
Cao Zhenggang is leading his eight people to install these guardrails.
Seeing Cao Shujie coming, Cao Zhenggang let the others work first. He walked over and said to Cao Shujie, "Shujie, how about installing it like this?"
Cao Shujie looked along and saw that the guardrail completely followed the cement stone pier. Cao Zhenggang was an old contractor and he had no problem doing this job.
"Grandpa Zhenggang, I think it's pretty good. By the way, I have something else to do." Cao Shujie took Cao Zhenggang and walked in together. He pointed to an area and said, "The area over there has been hardened. Build a cowshed."
"You want to harden such a big piece?" Cao Zhenggang felt that it was not necessary. He said, "You can make the place smaller and give the cow a place to rest temporarily."
Cao Shujie did not listen to Cao Zhenggang's suggestion, he still followed his own ideas.
In fact, according to his plan, the area there is not very big.
Xia Changhong also arranged for people to stay here to watch the construction for a long time. Cao Shujie is now his big customer, and Xia Changhong doesn't want to lose this customer.
After Cao Shujie led four dogs around the mountain, he came down from the other side along the slope where the foundation had just been compacted.
This was done by Tian Xinhua, who specializes in road and bridge projects. He first compacted the ground and then laid the road.
It has almost the same layout as the one in the south. A slope road runs from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain. A huge turning platform is planned on the mountainside for vehicles to turn around.
In addition, the road to the north is more than one meter wider than the road to the south, reaching a width of 4.5 meters, which is enough for two cars to meet on the road.
When Tian Xinhua saw Cao Shujie, he subconsciously threw a cigarette at him. Then he remembered that Cao Shujie didn't smoke now. When he thought about taking the cigarette back, he noticed that Cao Shujie had smoothly put the cigarette in his ear.
on, which means he has put away the cigarette.
Tian Xinhua stepped hard on the paved road under his feet and said, "Boss Cao, look at the quality of this road?"
"Can I drive a sports car now?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Tian Xinhua shook his head on the spot and said: "It's okay to ride an electric bike or an electric tricycle, but it's definitely not possible to drive a car now."
"How long will it take to drive a sports car?" Cao Shujie pointed to the scene of more than 20 people plowing the land and said: "I want to replace the people as soon as possible and let the bulldozers drive up. It will be faster."
"It will take a week." Tian Xinhua said.
When Cao Shujie heard this time, he nodded and said, "That's okay, it's not very long."
However, there is not much ground left to be tidied up now. Cao Shujie doubts that the 117 acres of mountainous land will have been tidied up in a week. If the efficiency is faster, the ground can be processed in less than a week, and it will be used by then.
No more construction trucks.
After Cao Shujie took his four dogs around in the mountains, he started to return home.
Passing by the old orchard area, he went in and picked a few apples to take with him.
I am still thinking about whether I should call those customers who came to pick kiwi fruits before?
But there seems to be not enough apples in these two acres of land.
Who to call? Who not to call? This has become a science again.
While the various thoughts in his mind were colliding, Cao Jie had already returned home with the apple.
As soon as he entered the door, he shouted: "Mom, I'm back."
"Come back as soon as you come back. Why are you babbling?" Wang Yuelan didn't bother to talk about her son. When her eyes fell on her son's hands, she was a little confused: "What are you doing with the apples?"
"Mom, these are the apples I just picked in the orchard. They are ripe this time. Bring them back and let you taste them. I think they are quite delicious."
"Real or false? That's all I remember." Wang Yuelan didn't believe it.
After Cao Shujie washed all the apples, he gave one to his mother and one to his wife.
When it was Mengmeng's turn, the little one also stretched out her hands to hold the apple and chew it, but Cao Shujie knew that she couldn't eat it at all, and could even get stuck on the apple peel, so he smiled and said: "Mengmeng, daddy gives it to you.
Squeeze it into apple juice, will you drink it?"
"Drink." Mengmeng said simply.
Hearing what his daughter said, Cao Shujie went to find a knife, peeled the apples, and cut them into small cubes. Then he asked his wife where they put the juicer they brought back from the capital.
"It should be under the cupboard. Go over and have a look." Cheng Xiaolin wasn't sure whether it was placed there.
After they came back, the three of them were not as particular about eating as they were in the capital. For example, they almost didn’t juice all kinds of fruits and just ate them wholeheartedly, which gave them a different feeling.
Wang Yuelan originally didn't take the apple her son gave her seriously, but when she came back from getting the things, her eyes changed when she saw her son removing the skin and cutting the apple into pieces.
"Shujie, are these really apples from the orchard on our mountain?" Wang Yuelan asked.
Cao Shujie nodded: "This can still be false."
But he continued: "But I am different from the planting method you have figured out based on experience before. I now use a more scientific and optimized planting management plan. I do not use paper bags or plastic bags to cover the apples, which will be exposed to sunlight for a long time.
More sugar."
It seems like this, Wang Yuelan thought about it carefully. In previous years, when they planted apples, the harvest started at the end of August.
But now it's October, and the batch of apples my son planted is two months later than the normal apples.
During these two months, the apples hung on the tree, continuing to absorb nutrients and enjoying longer hours of sunlight.
As a result, the sweetness of this batch of apples has been improved by at least two levels.
Wang Yuelan asked him: "Shujie, the apples in the orchard should have a good harvest this year. When are you going to sell them?"
"Mom, I haven't thought about it yet." Cao Shujie shook his head and went to find the juicer.
Not long after, Cao Shujie came back with a juicer.
This is a juicer with a dark green base. Compared with ordinary juicers, it looks more substantial.
After turning on the power, Cao Shujie scalded the cup with hot water, then put the diced apples into the cup, placed it upside down on the base of the juicer, pressed the switch with his hand, and the buzzing motor made a high-speed rotation sound.
It rang.
When Mengmeng saw this scene, she was looking forward to it.
Mengmeng was even happier when she saw that the fruit pulp in the cup was smashed to pieces and a lot of it was stuck to the wall of the cup.
She jumped up and shouted: "Oh, you can drink apple juice, I'm so happy."
My daughter is happy, and Cao Shujie is also very happy.
That night, when Cao Jianguo came back, Cao Shujie handed him another uneaten apple: "Dad, you should also try the apples in the orchard."
Cao Jianguo chuckled and said with some pride: "I've already eaten several in the orchard. You guys can eat."
"You old man, you don't know what's good or bad. You haven't sold it for money yet, so you started eating it secretly. Why are you so worthless?" Wang Yuelan said to him.
Cao Jianguo didn't even bother to talk to his wife.
After putting Mengmeng to sleep at night, Cao Shujie and his wife sat on the bed, discussing the sales of Apple.
Cao Shujie expressed his thoughts, but Cheng Xiaolin asked him: "Is it possible? If you call those who pick kiwi fruits, will they come?"
"It should be about the same." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin rolled her eyes at him: "This is a very serious matter, can you please stop being so uncertain?"
Hearing what his wife said, Cao Shujie slapped her directly: "Forget it that you are fierce during the day, I can't deal with you when others are around, but you are so capable at night, who gives you the confidence?"
"Ouch!"
Cheng Xiaolin was suddenly attacked. She was completely unprepared. Her buttocks were a little throbbing, which was okay. She immediately pounced on him to take revenge.
It's a pity that this action is undoubtedly a sheep in the wolf's pen, and it will be delivered to your door.
How can Cao Shujie be polite? He must let her know how powerful he is, otherwise the status of this family will become lower and lower in the future.
This night, the murderous spirit overflowed, and in the end, both people suffered losses.
…
On the morning of the second day, Cao Shujie was about to go out to walk his dog when he received a strange phone call.
Looking at the unfamiliar number, which was not local, Cao Shujie was very puzzled, who is this?
He hung up the phone, but then the other party called again, with the same mobile number.
"A bit interesting?" Cao Shujie thought to himself.
He was holding four dogs on leashes with one hand, and was still answering the phone with the other hand.
Then I heard the other party introduce himself: "Hello, Mr. Cao, I was introduced by Mr. Cao Zhen."
"Cao Zhen?" Cao Shujie just felt like his teeth hurt. This trick was too simple. You couldn't find anyone, but him.
Cao Shujie said: "I'm so sorry. I do have a friend named Cao Zhen, but he has already gone to Xinjiang. Next time you want to make a phone call to defraud money, please find out more about it."
The person on the other side of the phone was Zuo Le. When he heard what Cao Shujie said, he quickly made his identity clear.
Cao Shujie never expected that he would have such an experience on a train when he was a child?
What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that this man named Zuo Le got off the train early just so that he could come over in time to meet and chat with him.
This left Cao Shujie speechless.
He finally said: "Come to Caojiazhuang, I'll be waiting for you on the north side of Caojiazhuang."
"Okay, Mr. Cao, I'll be there in a moment." Zuo Le said to Cao Shujie on the phone.
