The wooden pillars were placed on both sides of the firewood pile, and those who came took their seats, warming themselves by the fire while brushing the roasted chicken with the condiments and sesame oil prepared by Lu Lu.
They have all been to Lu Lu's place. Several of them have eaten Lu Lu's barbecue and have seen how Lu Lu makes it. They have learned how to do it one by one, and they can't look at the people next to them.
You can also get a rough idea.
Although it is cat winter, the real cats at home are mainly the elderly, children and women. Many men have their own things to do, and there are not many opportunities to really chat together like today.
A group of old men gathered together, talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
Not long after chatting, someone asked: "Brother, why did you gather everyone together?"
"It's nothing. In the blink of an eye, it will be a year since I settled in Xiushan Village. During these days, thanks to everyone's care, I just thought of inviting everyone here to have a good time.
!”
Lu Lu said with a smile.
Yesterday, he did not directly explain to people that he called people to his meadow to talk about setting up a family farm.
He knew very well that if he had told them on the spot, even if they were very real men in his opinion, they would not accept it easily. I am afraid that not many people would come here today.
Therefore, in the form of chatting, I listen to everyone’s thoughts and at the same time give my own opinions to complement each other and explain things more clearly.
When there are many people gathered together, there will naturally be a mutual infection effect.
Lu Lu wanted to do a lot of things, which required a lot of manpower, and he wanted to get as many people as possible.
Of course, he also knew that despite the reform and opening up, he had not yet let go. It was simply impossible to convince all these people.
He doesn't expect to be able to convince everyone. After all, everyone has their own concerns, and their cognition and mentality are also limited. For most people, what they want more in their hearts is stability.
Therefore, Lu Lu was not in a hurry. Quan thought it was a gathering together to gain some popularity for himself, so he half-jokingly said: "I'm here with you today. I really have something to tell you."
Said... Let's talk slowly after we have eaten and drank. Otherwise, I'm afraid that everyone will be scared away as soon as I open my mouth. I have prepared so many things, and Xiuyu and I can finish them in half an hour.
!”
Among those present, Lu Lu only spoke to four people: Liang Kangbo, Zhang Shaofeng, Wang Demin and Chen Xiuqing.
Wang Demin didn't express too many thoughts on this matter. In his opinion, this matter was very high stakes. After living for most of his life, he didn't have the heart to participate, so he just wanted to do his job well.
Son, he is reluctant to give up his profession as a barefoot doctor.
I came here today mainly to join in the fun.
Needless to say, Chen Xiuqing, after Lu Lu briefly told him, just one sentence, he would do whatever Lu Lu said to do, and he had already made up his mind to follow Lu Lu.
Zhang Shaofeng is relatively courageous. He himself can't say whether this thing can be done, but he chooses to believe in Lu Lu's ability and vision and decides to follow suit.
Only Liang Kangbo made it clear yesterday that he was not optimistic about it.
Just these few people already have their own ideas, let alone the others.
The chicken placed on the firewood is sizzling while roasting. With the blessing of seasonings, it exudes an alluring smell. Coupled with Laolongkou wine, the more you eat, the more moist it becomes.
It was noisy for more than two hours, and everyone felt comfortable.
Finally, someone asked Lu Lu again: "Brother, what do you want to say today? Now that we have had enough wine and food, if you don't say anything, I will be ready to run away."
Lu Lu took a deep breath and stood up.
Seeing this, everyone calmed down and looked at Lu Lu.
Lu Lu coughed lightly and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Yesterday, the director of Xiangshuixi Forestry Farm went to Xiushantun to gather everyone and talked about encouraging the hosting of family farms. Actually, I mainly wanted to
I’d like to ask everyone what they think.”
"This thing sounds good, but it can't be done at all. As far as my own manpower is concerned, it's good if I can plant my own three-thirds of an acre of land. I don't have much energy to plant more. I'm too busy.
Come!" Someone immediately expressed his position: "I don't dare to do it anyway."
"If we have more land, we can use machines!" Lu Lu said with a smile.
"The machines can only do planting and purchasing, and we have to rely on manual labor to weed and fertilize. The area is so large that we can't even hoe the grass."
"Yes, there is also fertilizer, which also costs money to buy, but there is not that much money. If there is a disaster, you will lose everything."
"There is a machine, but we are so stupid that we don't know how to use it."
"If the policy changes, it will be bad!"
"You are responsible for your own profits and losses. You can't do anything just because of this. Once you lose money, you will be desperately poor. If you lose your entire family, how can you live?"
"It's still reliable to just stick to this one-third of an acre of land, and still find time to find a place to work. No matter how unstable it is, there is always one thing that is stable."
…
Everyone talked for more than ten minutes, giving various reasons, but no one showed any idea.
This far exceeded Lu Lu's expectations.
Things are difficult!
Seeing that the discussion was almost finished, Lu Lu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I want to give it a try myself. I originally wanted to ask everyone if anyone is willing to do it with me. Looking at it, I'm afraid no one is willing.
Already."
"Brother, please listen to everyone's advice, this matter is not safe!" someone advised.
"You can give it a try. In just one year, everyone can see the wealth you have saved. Even if you lose money, with your ability, you can recover quickly. But we can't do it, so where can you be?"
That's what I am capable of. If I had your confidence, I would dare!" Another person said.
…
Lu Lu listened to everyone's persuasion, thought for a while, and nodded slightly: "I understand what everyone means, and thank you for your persuasion, but I still want to give it a try."
Seeing Lu Lu's insistence, everyone looked at each other. Even Wang Demin couldn't help but persuade him again: "Xiao Lu, you have to think carefully. The risk is too great. If you are not careful, you will really lose everything."
"I know……"
Lu Lu said this, but in his heart he was thinking: How could he lose money?
After thinking about it, he still said firmly: "I have decided to contract a piece of land and a few hills! When the time comes, when manpower is needed, I will have to ask everyone to help. Of course, I will pay for the work."
"If you really want to do it, don't mention the salary. If I can help you, I will definitely help you."
"These days you have been in Xiushantun, you have taken good care of our family. If you need anything, just call me. As long as I am free, I will definitely go and help."
…
Several militiamen who had received a lot of care from Lu Lu expressed their opinions one after another.
"Thank you for your kindness, money still has to be given, everyone has to live, and strength cannot be achieved without eating and drinking..."
Lu Lu originally planned to recruit people to join him and make money with them, but looking at the current situation, he couldn't convince them with just his mouth.
It still takes time for them to change!
He sighed slightly and silently made a decision in his heart. He still had to make money to show them.
As for manpower, we originally considered paying year-end dividends if anyone was willing to join, but now it seems that it is more practical to spend money on workers.
But Lu Lu can’t wait!
The current conditions are undoubtedly the most favorable. Once more people are willing to contract, it will not be that easy to obtain such favorable conditions again.
Someone else asked: "Brother, you can still figure out if you contract the land and it can be used to grow food, but what's the use of contracting the barren hills? You can't do anything!"
"I haven't thought about this yet, but the contracting fee is cheap, so let's take a look first!"
His answer made many people shake their heads, thinking that he had too much money and no place to spend it.
In addition to raising deer, deer, etc., things like barren mountains that have little value in the eyes of everyone, are actually a real treasure land in Lu Lu's eyes.
It can be cultivated into ginseng fields and fungus cultivation. If it is used in a few years to build a hazelnut garden or cultivate blueberries and other things, it will be quite valuable.
Lu Lu has many ways to turn barren mountains into treasure mountains.
After calling everyone together for a trip, Lu Lu was given such a cruel result. Lu Lu felt a small shock in his heart.
Next, he said nothing more.
I just chatted briefly with everyone, and then watched them leave one by one.
In the end, only Zhang Shaofeng, Liang Kangbo and Chen Xiuqing were left on Caodianzi.
"Brother, you see, everyone is not optimistic about it. I think you should take a look before talking about it. You are great at making money, but you can't stand such a torment!"
Liang Kangbo persuaded again.
"Brother Liang, please stop trying to persuade me. I am determined to do this. After I have spent all the money, I can earn more. If I miss the opportunity, I will really miss it. I am still young and I will not take advantage of the opportunity to make a breakthrough now."
, how boring that would be, the worst case scenario would be to start all over again!”
Lu Lu smiled slightly.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, and his eyes turned to approval.
"Brother, I was a little hesitant before, but now after listening to your words, I have figured out something. Just like you said, it really doesn't make much sense if you don't take the opportunity to make a breakthrough now. I also believe that this policy
I didn't come down here to harm us ordinary people.
Since such a policy is issued, there must be considerations from above.
The worst case scenario is that you have to start over again. I'll swim with you in this water.
Anyway, I can't do much now, I can only take care of my dad at home. I am idle, and guarding that three-quarter acre of land every day is no big deal."
Zhang Shaofeng himself, with his background, is actually the one with the least worries.
Lu Lu was very happy to see that his current attitude had changed from blind obedience to support.
"I will follow Brother Lu anyway!" Chen Xiuqing still said the same thing.
Now, it was Liang Kangbo who hesitated. He looked at Lu Lu and took a deep breath: "We have been brothers for so long. In my heart, I really don't understand this policy. But when Fengzi said this, I
It seems to make some sense. Why don't you take me with you? Your family's wealth will be lost and you can make more money. In this wilderness, I didn't go hungry in the early years, let alone now. Brother, count me in, follow.
You take a gamble!"
At this moment, Zhao Yongke and Zhao Tuanqing walked down the ridge of Mukoleng Mountain one after another.
"I'm walking around the nearby mountains. I hear the commotion on your side. Xiao Lu, what are you doing?"
Zhao Tuanqing asked aloud as he entered the fence gate. He looked at the chicken bones and pork bones on the ground, and then at the wine bottle on the table beside him: "I'm late, I'm late, I missed a good meal!
"
Lu Lu smiled: "Dad, it's not easy to eat, I'll get it for you now!"
"Forget the barbecue, I want you to drink some wine...what are you doing here today?" Zhao Tuanqing casually took a wine bowl from the table, and regardless of whether it had been used by others, he picked up the wine jug and poured it for himself.
I had a full bowl and drank half of it in one go.
Zhao Yongke did the same. He found a relatively clean bowl and poured himself some wine to drink.
Lu Lu immediately told them about the family farm.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Tuanqing spoke: "Let Yongke come with you!"
Lu Lu couldn't help but laugh: "Dad, aren't you afraid that I will lose money and implicate you?"
"What are you afraid of? If you don't make any more money, I will lead my family back to the mountains again!" Zhao Tuanqing said nonchalantly: "Our family has stayed in the mountains for a long time and we don't understand these messy things. However,
I believe your boy has this ability."
"Dad! Why do I think you are looking for an excuse to live in the mountains?" Lu Lu said with a grin.
