()Human traffickers are very arrogant these days, and they even dare to follow young parents to snatch their children. Many people's relatives were abducted just because they were not paying attention.
In fact, Wang Xianming was not so stupid since he was a child. At that time, he had a little sister whom he loved very much.
When he was in junior high school, Wang Xianming took his little sister to play in Nanlong County. As a result, the little girl was abducted by human traffickers without paying attention.
After that, Wang Xianming became seriously ill, and his personality changed to what he is now, naive and silly.
After listening to Wei Zhiwu's low-pitched explanation, Lu Yang sighed and looked at Wang Xianming, who was stunned and seemed to be thinking about something. He secretly hated the human trafficker and deserved death for violating his conscience.
Lu Yang turned on the VCR. The battle had ended and there was no conversation.
Wei Zhiwu drove the minivan for more than an hour, and it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the mountain road was too narrow and the minivan could no longer drive through it, so it had to stop here.
However, a few people have already seen that the hillside opposite is full of fruit trees, and there is a faint fruity fragrance in the air.
"It is indeed Huang Guanli, fifth brother," Lu Yang cheered up and said to Wei Zhiwen: "Just do everything as I say. I will monitor here. You can take Brother Xianming over."
"good!"
Wei Zhiwu nodded and dragged Wang Xianming towards the opposite hillside. Several farmhouses in the distance could be faintly seen in the orchard. The farmers inside seemed to be awakened by the sound of small trucks. Many people came out of several farmhouses and stood there.
Look here outside the yard.
Looking at the hillside and walking away, it took Wei Zhiwu and Wang Xianming half an hour to get close. Six or seven people came forward. At first, a thin old man in his fifties had a majestic face, and he could tell at a glance that he was used to giving orders.
The skinny old man came closer. He didn't look like a cadre, so he asked first, "Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
"Oh, hello!"
Wei Zhiwu stepped forward, looked at the skinny old man, took the initiative to hand over the cigarette, and said: "My surname is Wei, I am the fifth in the family. Call me Wei Wu or Xiao Wu. We are in the fruit business. I heard that fish
There is a delicious fragrant pineapple here in Taiwan. I plan to take some out to try. May I ask what your last name is?"
"No need for your surname to be Xu!"
The skinny old man surnamed Xu took the cigarette and lit it on Wei Zhiwu's fire. When he saw that the cigarette case in his hand was full of pinyin letters, he was stunned and asked involuntarily: "What brand is this cigarette?"
"Haha, sanwuha, American devil's cigarette," Wei Zhiwu replied with a smile, and then said to several people around him: "Come on, let's all smoke one!"
A group of people, both men and women, took cigarettes and lit them, and the scene suddenly became more lively.
"Wei Wu," a middle-aged man in his forties asked in a low voice while lighting a cigarette: "Are you really here to sell fragrant pineapples?"
"What is it? The cars are already here, is there any more fake stuff?" Wei Zhiwu chuckled.
"That's great," the middle-aged man said excitedly, "Come to my house!"
"Li San, why are you here? Come on, come to my house!" A woman in her thirties suddenly refused.
"Second daughter-in-law Xu," the middle-aged man named Li San said with a displeased look on his face: "Didn't you sell to that boss Wang last time? It's my family this time!"
Seeing that Xu Zhishu could not suppress the situation, several family members began to make noises and accuse him, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
The fragrant pineapple saplings were first bought by relatives of Li San's family. They said that if they could be sold at a good price, they would graft 100 acres of them to Li San's family.
Xu Zhishu was greedy at that time, so he sent people to spread the word that it was not good to eat alone, and he was careful that Li San's family would be isolated by the villagers.
The Xu surname had an absolute advantage in Yutai Village, and relatives of Li San's family were also worried, so they had to take the initiative to graft ten acres of orchards to Xu Zhishu's family. Every other family in the village also had two or three acres, and Li San's family only had fifty acres left.
Three years later, the pear trees began to bear fruit, and the fruits were delicious and fragrant. However, Yutai Village was located on a remote road and it was difficult to get there. Only some small vendors nearby would come to sell the fruits. Only a few could be sold every year, because each family was worried about their own family.
If they can't sell, they lower the price to each other. Not only will they not make much money, but they will also become more and more quarrelsome with each other.
"Everyone, be quiet!"
The people in his village were making more and more noise in front of outsiders. Xu Zhishu's face was very ugly. He yelled and said, "You want others to laugh?"
Xu Zhishu had been well-known in the village for a long time. When he showed his power at this time, everyone immediately did not dare to cause trouble again.
Looking at the people in the village who had been calmed down, Xu Zhishu smiled silently and said to Wei Zhiwu: "The country has launched a market economy, so we should let the fifth brother Wei choose a family."
After saying this, Party Secretary Xu stood at the front, staring at Wei Zhiwu with twinkling eyes. Although the other party was young, he should have known the consequences of offending the village Party Secretary.
"this……"
Wei Zhiwu didn't expect to encounter this situation. He frowned and had an idea, and said: "It's fate that we met today. Everyone who meets us has a share. Let's buy some from each house here to see which one is better. Next time we come, we will buy from his house.
.”
"ah?"
Xu Zhishu did not expect that the young fruit seller in front of him made a strange move, frowned and said: "It seems there is no such rule."
"Xu Zhishu," Li San stood behind and said angrily: "You have to control what other people want to buy?"
The pear seedlings were brought by relatives of Li San's family, who also had the most pear trees. According to his relatives, it was not difficult to earn tens of thousands a year from fifty acres.
It turned out that Xu Zhishu was too evil-minded. A big businessman like Wang Shoutian only introduced it to his family and relatives first, and they monopolized it. Li Sanjia's pear trees dropped the most in the village every year, so he was naturally very resentful.
"That's it for the time being," Wei Zhiwu laughed and greeted, "Everyone, go to my car to get the cartons, go to your house to load the pears, just bring them here."
Carton?
A group of people were puzzled. They followed Wei Zhiwu and Wang Xianming down the mountain and walked to the pickup truck. When they saw a child in the cab, they didn't take it seriously.
Wei Zhiwu asked Wang Xianming to climb into the car and lift the tarp. More than two hundred cardboard boxes appeared in front of everyone. He took one and folded the cardboard box.
This is the first time for most people to see this kind of packaging carton, and they are immediately surprised.
Wei Zhiwu actually didn't know much about this thing, but Lu Yang had said before that the weather is hot in summer, and using this kind of corrugated carton to pack easily damaged goods like fruits can avoid wind, sun, rain and rain, and keep the fruits as fresh as possible.
It can also reduce rotting during transportation.
Of course, this carton is very expensive. It costs four yuan a piece, which is equivalent to a dime investment per pound. It is a good deal for Huangguan pears with a wholesale price of more than two yuan, but it is too luxurious for many fruits that currently retail for only a few cents.
.
Therefore, there are still a few dealers who are willing to use cartons to transport fruits these days. For example, Wang Shoutian transports fruit in bulk. Lu Yang said that at least 30% to 40% of the fruit will be damaged during transportation.
At this time, Wei Zhiwu had already moved the scale out of the car. He raised his voice and said: "I, Wei Wu, will not take advantage of everyone. This box weighs two kilograms. Even if the box is more than forty-two kilograms, it is eight yuan per box, but each pear is worth
The skin is not allowed to be broken. If one is broken, the box will not be collected, and everyone will lose eight yuan, so everyone must pick and handle it with care!"
Later, when he asked about the four families here, Wei Zhiwu said that each family could get sixty boxes, and Xu Zhishu's family naturally got ten more boxes.
Wei Zhiwu directed Wang Xianming to give ten cartons to each family, and asked them to take them back and ask their family members to pick pears carefully, and then come back to pick the pears while holding the boxes.
This acquisition method is novel. Usually everyone weighs the items in bulk, but when they heard Wei Zhiwu’s acquisition price, everyone was pleasantly surprised and didn’t care about so many requirements.
This box of forty kilograms is equivalent to a purchase price of two cents per kilogram. Usually, small dealers usually charge only about ten cents. Some people have sold it for a few cents, but if they can't be sold, it will be a waste.
Not many people go out to work these days. For local farmers in Yutai Village whose per capita annual income is less than 1,000 yuan, sixty boxes per family is just half the annual income.
Li San couldn't hold himself back at first, and immediately walked home carrying the cardboard box, and the other three family members also carried the cardboard boxes.
Xu Zhishu originally planned to go back. He was a cadre and he was too old to do such strenuous work.
"Xu Zhishu, I'm sorry," Wei Zhiwu pulled him, handed over two packages of unopened Sanwu, and said with a smile: "It's my first time here and I don't understand the rules. Please bear with me and take care of me in the future."
"Easy to say!"
After taking two packs of cigarettes, Xu Zhishu felt better. He nodded and did not leave. He chatted with Wei Zhiwu and asked why he came only in the afternoon. He smiled and explained that the road was too bad and it was not easy to find.
With such a high purchase price, the four families quickly took action. The one with a small family also asked his children to find acquaintances nearby to help.
Although there are more people and more strength, because the round trip plus the time to pick pears takes more than an hour, it takes more than fifty people to move twice before it gets dark.
Xu Zhishu asked if he could reload it tomorrow. Wei Zhiwu apologized and said he had to rush back in the evening. He said he would add one yuan per box and asked for your patience. He also took out fifty yuan and asked Xu Zhishu to find someone to cook a pot of noodles and put the car in the car.
The dry food such as ham and sausage was shared with everyone.
At night, more than 200 cartons were piled on the car. Wei Zhiwu personally weighed and marked each box. After calculating the price, each family was allowed to load it into the car. Of course, he was also told to handle it with care, otherwise the money would be deducted.
.
It was getting late at this time, and Lu Yang did not continue to monitor. He got out of the car and worked with Wang Xianming to secure the awning with ropes.
Wei Zhiwu started to settle the accounts and distribute the money. Everyone was careful with the high purchase price. Although there were still a dozen rotten pears picked out from the cartons, they begged and begged. Wei Zhiwu had no choice but to pick out the rotten pears and give him six yuan. Although the other party muttered,
Had to accept it.
"Wei Wu," Xu Zhishu said cheerfully after receiving the money: "It's so late, why don't you go to my house and sleep one night?"
Wei Zhiwu laughed and said, "Thank you very much, Secretary Xu. We have to travel all night. Besides, it will be cooler in the summer!"
Xu Zhishu shook his head and said nothing more. At this time, other companies also got the money, and they all left tired and sleepy and went back.
Wei Zhiwu greeted Wang Xianming to get in the car, but was shocked to find Lu Yang sitting in the cab.
"Fifth brother, you drive tomorrow and get some sleep first. I will drive this section of the road."
Lu Yang took the key from Wei Zhiwu, and with his surprised eyes, he skillfully started the pickup truck and drove away in reverse.
It was already two o'clock at night when we arrived at Yuping Township. The moonlight was bright and the visibility was pretty good.
Lu Yang shook Wei Zhiwu awake. He looked at Wang Xianming, who was still very energetic, and whispered.
