Working until almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Shujie felt that his arms and legs were no longer his own.
Seeing the tourists in the orchard walking down the mountain one after another, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
"After these days of hard work, everyone should have a good rest." Cao Shujie said to Cao Shuchao, the others and the people who came to help him.
It doesn't matter to Cao Shuchao and the others, they can be a little more tired if they feel like it. The boss really has not forgotten them.
According to regulations, wages should have been paid yesterday, but everyone was busy and wages were delayed for the first time.
Cao Shujie also told them that he would pay them their wages and bonuses after the three-day holiday, and would also subsidize the three-day late payment penalty.
This thing sounds very new, and there will be subsidies for the salary that is delayed for a few days.
The four of them, Cao Shuchao, Zhu Shengliang, Zhuang Xuesong and Cao Jianjun, were planning to ask Cao Shujie not to pay them wages at all. They would settle the accounts together at the end of the year, and then they would be able to pay more late fees!
It's a pity that they thought too beautifully!
Cheng Xiaolin came over and saw her husband Cao Shujie and said, "Shujie, let's go to dinner!"
She was also very tired, and her legs felt a little numb even when she was standing.
Cao Shujie handed her a chair and asked her to sit down and rub her arms and legs to relieve her fatigue first.
His wife's words reminded him, and Cao Shujie shouted to everyone present: "Uncles and aunts, everyone is working very hard today."
"Shujie, we also use money to do things, so don't say such polite words." Gao Fengting stood up and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cao Jianlong, the deputy secretary of Caojiazhuang who had not left, also said: "Yes, Shujie, if you feel sorry for yourself, just give your uncles and aunts an extra ten or eight yuan!"
"That's a must!" Cao Shujie responded with a smile.
He said: "Let's not talk about money for now. I will invite you all to have dinner at the farm restaurant down the mountain tonight."
"Shujie, no need, I just want to go home and eat." Cao Juan said.
Cao Jianfang followed behind and waved: "Shujie, you really don't need it!"
"Uncle Jianfang, don't say anything unnecessary. Just listen to my arrangement tonight. You guys will drink heavily and eat big chunks of meat."
Cao Shujie clasped his hands and said sincerely: "Tomorrow, I have to count on the big guys!"
"Hey, we like to hear this. Let's take a walk and go down the mountain to eat." Cao Jianfang led the way and extended his hand to greet these people to come down the mountain together.
Gao Fengting, Cao Juan and the others didn't say anything else, they all followed Cao Jianfang down the slope road from the north and went straight to the farm restaurant.
Cao Shujie didn't have time to go over, but he called Wang Leigang first and told him that he could just put the hard dishes on the table and make a bowl of mutton soup for each person, and he would settle the bill with Wang Leigang in the evening.
Hearing what Cao Shujie said, Wang Leigang said bluntly that it was not necessary, and also said that he was treating him tonight!
Cao Shujie didn't agree. How much money could Wang Leigang earn? How much money did he earn today?
There was too much money and there was no time to count it. Cao Shujie thought that when he got home in the evening, if he still had time, he would use the money printing machine to count it.
If you don’t have time, settle the payment another day.
Seeing his father Cao Jianguo standing next to him, Cao Shujie said to him: "Dad, you go there with my mother first. You order the food and eat first. I will be there right away."
"Okay, let's go there first." Cao Jianguo agreed.
After Cao Shujie and his wife cleaned up here, they closed the door.
They finally rode an electric tricycle down the mountain.
However, they went south and had to go home to pick up their grandfather and daughter Mengmeng.
About ten minutes later, Cao Shujie rode an electric tricycle with his grandfather, his daughter Mengmeng, and his wife to the farm restaurant.
At this time, the farm restaurant, which had been noisy all day, calmed down a little.
When Cao Shujie and the other four people came over, Cao Jianguo had already arranged the tables into a long strip. Nearly 40 people gathered together and sat down in a circle, waiting for Cao Shujie and the others to take their seats.
"Eat quickly. Didn't I tell you when I was on the mountain just now? You come here and eat first. We are not outsiders, so why are you so polite?" Cao Shujie muttered.
Cao Jianguo also said: "I just told your uncles and aunts to let them eat first, but they didn't eat and had to wait for you to come."
Cao Shujie was moved in his heart. He looked at the people in the circle. Except for Fu Feng and Du Wenwu who stayed to help, the rest were all fellow villagers of Caojiazhuang.
The younger ones are like Cao Tiemin, and the older ones are like Cao Zhengcun, Cao Jianlong and so on.
He thought about saying a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out.
"Let's eat. If you want to drink, just ask. You don't have to worry about the rest. Eat and drink enough and continue working tomorrow." Cao Shujie said at last.
Cao Jianlong looked at the table full of beef, chicken, ribs, fish, as well as meatball soup, elbows and vegetables.
In addition to these, there is also a bowl of beef soup in front of everyone. It is pure beef and does not contain blood clots!
There was so much beef that it popped out of the mouth of the bowl and became the top of a mountain.
He was filled with emotion.
I have to say that this guy Cao Shujie is really good at what he does, he does things with dignity, and he is not stingy at all.
The next moment, I saw Cao Shujie take out a wad of money, and 23 of them, Gao Fengting, Cao Jianfang, and Cao Juan, came to help, each with 50 yuan.
Cao Jianfang took the money and asked, "Shujie, this is wrong. Why did you pay more?"
"The extra reward will be considered as a bonus!" Cao Shujie said cheerfully.
Cao Jianlong and Cao Zhengcun watched this scene silently, feeling increasingly satisfied with Cao Shujie.
Cao Shujie walked around the big table, settled today's wages to everyone, and then took a bottle of beer from the table next to him.
With a 'bang' sound, he opened the cap of the beer bottle and said, "Uncles and aunts, we will be busy tomorrow, so I won't drink liquor today. I'd like to toast you all a glass of wine, and do it first as a token of respect!"
After finishing speaking, Cao Shujie raised his neck and pointed the mouth of the wine bottle at his mouth. He made a sound of "gudong, gudong". He could only see that Cao Shujie's Adam's apple had been squirming, and he drank the entire bottle of beer in just a few gulps.
.
The others haven’t drank their wine yet!
When Cao Zhengcun saw Cao Shujie like this, he admired Cao Shujie in his heart: "Shujie, you don't keep a low profile when you drink. I haven't started drinking here yet!"
"Grandpa Zhengcun, please drink slowly, we are not in a hurry." Cao Shujie advised him.
As for wine, just drink it slowly.
We came over for dinner at around five o'clock, thinking that we would continue to be busy tomorrow. Cao Shujie and the others were not sticky. After eating and drinking, they dispersed before eight o'clock.
When Cao Shu approached Wang Leigang to settle the bill, Wang Leigang said nothing.
Cao Shujie didn't take advantage of him, so he finally put down a thousand yuan and rode an electric tricycle with his grandfather and daughter towards home.
"Boss Cao, what are you doing?" When Wang Lei just kicked him out, Cao Shujie had already disappeared.
He wanted to hand the money to Cao Jianguo who was walking behind, but Cao Jianguo didn't want it either: "Boss Wang, there are so many of us, we can't all eat and drink for free."
For Cao Shujie, this is really the case. They definitely can't eat and drink for free. If that's the case, where can he put his face!
…
"Shujie, how are you? How much money did you make?" In the evening, Cheng Xiaolin came over with some anticipation and asked.
Cao Shujie looked at his daughter who had just put him to sleep. He felt that his mental state was very poor: "I am too tired today. The money can't escape even if it is locked in the safe. Let's wait until we have been busy for the past few days."
"That's okay, go to bed early!" Cheng Xiaolin lay on the bed and fell asleep soon.
Cao Shujie also breathed evenly, and after a while, it turned into heavy snoring again. The snoring was very loud. Cheng Xiaolin frowned vaguely, but she never opened her eyes. It didn't take long for her frown to relax again.
At around 3 a.m. on the second day, before dawn, Cao Shujie got up.
He first went to the dam to walk his dog for more than an hour.
After coming down from the dam, Cao Shujie didn't bother to eat, so he gnawed a piece of steamed bun and walked towards the orchard on the mountain.
After entering the orchard, Cao Shujie went directly to the strawberry garden and felt relieved when he saw that the strawberries in the orchard were still red.
I'm afraid that there were so many people picking all the ripe strawberries yesterday, and if the ripe strawberries were picked clean, they would be blinded today.
Fortunately, although the red strawberries today are much less than yesterday, they are still enough to satisfy everyone today.
For Cao Shujie, as long as he can survive these three days, it will be fine.
Unknowingly, the sun rose higher and higher, and Cao Shujie's orchard also had the first batch of customers today.
And this also heralds the beginning of another busy day for Cao Shujie.
What surprised Cao Shujie the most was that Cui Jingguo brought his family of four here today.
Cao Shujie was quite surprised when he saw him.
"Boss Cui, why are you here?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Cui Jingguo said: "Brother Cao, I haven't asked you yet!"
"The strawberries in your orchard took so long to ripen and you didn't even call me to tell me. Are you afraid that I won't pay you for picking them?"
Cui Jingguo came up and talked to Cao Shujie. Cao Shujie didn't say a word, she just listened carefully.
"If I hadn't heard them talking about the ripe strawberries in your orchard, I wouldn't have known about it."
"Brother Cui, it's my responsibility." Cao Shujie is also a bachelor.
He said: "Brother Cui, this is a coincidence, I was just thinking about finding you!"
"Looking to buy cattle from me?" Cui Jingguo asked him.
Seeing Cao Shujie nodding, Cui Jingguo was puzzled: "Have you sold out all your cattle?"
"Sales have just started, and there are still 47 large cattle that have not been sold out, but it will only happen sooner or later. I have to buy some calves in advance to supplement."
"Brother Cui, do you have many calves over there?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Cui Jingguo nodded: "No problem. Others come to buy cows and they don't have any. I will find a way to get you as many cows as your boss Cao wants."
These words touched Cao Shujie's heart, and he felt comfortable listening to them.
"Brother Cui, can you help me get some good breed cows?" Cao Shujie asked.
He thought Cui Jing would refuse, but he didn't know that he didn't take it seriously at all and asked him on the spot: "Boss Cao, how many cows do you want?"
"I don't think it's too much if I have ten or eight heads." Cao Shujie thought for a while and said.
