Recommended votes
Cao Shujie first went to the old orchard area. After late March, the leaves on the kiwi fruit trees became more dense, one after another, giving him hope of a good harvest.
And in addition to the changes in the leaves, the kiwi fruit trees have also begun to bloom.
This is a small, bell-shaped white flower that looks particularly beautiful hanging on the branches.
When Cao Shujie saw the flowers, he knew that the busiest time of the year was coming.
Fruit trees are pollinated, pruned, and watered to continuously increase nutrients.
After looking at several trees in a row, Cao Shujie walked in again and observed carefully for a while. He then went around to the apple tree to check the situation.
After finishing the tour, he turned to the new orchard area of more than 50 acres and looked at the fruit trees that were planted last year. The branches have grown very strong now. The vines climbed up the wire ropes along the cement pillars. The green kiwi leaves were slightly green.
It turned yellow, and after looking over the leaves, there was no sign of insect damage. He realized that he needed to water again and use drip irrigation.
If necessary, some organic fertilizer must be provided.
While walking, Cao Shujie saw Cao Shuchao holding a pair of pruning scissors in his hand and removing excess branches from the fruit trees. He did this job very carefully, for fear that if one branch was cut incorrectly, he would lose a few branches.
fruit.
Seeing Cao Shujie coming, Cao Shuchao stopped what he was doing and greeted him: "Shujie, why did you come here so early today?"
"Isn't this Cao Zhen getting married? He's going to hold a wedding and a wedding banquet on the platform south of our orchard. The master who made the wedding banquet arranged for someone to come over and set up the stove today. I'm thinking about coming over and watching, but I don't understand. Then
The master also disliked me being in the way, so he came to hang out in the orchard."
After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh.
Cao Shuchao didn't expect that there would be such a twisty story. What's more important was that Cao Shujie was disliked, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.
He already knew that Cao Zhen was getting married.
"That brother from Uncle Jianzong's family is probably about the same age as you. You have children. He is not married yet, so he should indeed be married." Cao Shuchao said.
28 years old is considered a very late age to get married these days in the countryside.
Cao Shujie shook his head and said: "Brother Chao, Cao Zhen is different from me. He is used to being alone, and he is busy with work, so he has never considered getting married."
But he also sighed: "Who knew that Cao Zhen would go to Xinjiang Changji to take care of cotton planting this time, and hey, he would actually find a match there."
"I just don't know whether he will come back to Yiling City to develop in the future? Or will he stay in Xinjiang to develop?"
Cao Shuchao had already seen through these things. He said: "Shujie, there is no need to think about that. I have been hanging out for many years and have been to many cities. I can't persuade those who want to leave to come back, and I can't persuade those who want to come back. I
If so, I still think our hometown is better."
There is nothing wrong with this, and Cao Shujie also agrees with it, otherwise he would not have had a "great enlightenment", finally bought a house in the capital, and finally returned to his hometown to develop.
"Brother Chao, what do you think of our new fruit trees?" Cao Shujie asked him.
Cao Shuchao held out a thumb, with a somewhat puzzled expression on his face: "Shujie, logically these new fruit saplings shouldn't grow so fast this year. Why do I think they grow half as fast as ordinary fruit saplings?"
."
"Normally, it should take three years to bear fruit, but I think they will bear fruit next autumn." Cao Shuchao said.
Cao Shujie thought that your intuition was quite accurate, so he asked: "Brother Chao, do you want to know the secret?"
Cao Shuchao really wanted to know, but he said: "I am a stupid person. Even if you explain it to me, I can't understand it."
"But my wife and I have agreed that when my son goes to college, he will also go to the University of Agricultural Science and Technology." Cao Shuchao said with a smile.
He felt that his son would definitely gain something from that school if he couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, after Cao Shujie graduated from Agricultural University, he returned to his hometown to develop his career. His ability was visible to others, and he really made money.
Cao Shujie gestured with his thumb at him: "Brother Chao, you and your sister-in-law are very discerning. To be honest, I learned the tricks there."
"Really, you people who have studied in college are still more powerful." Cao Shuchao sighed.
Cao Shujie thought to himself that Cao Shuchao was right to think so, but his nutrient solution was not just researched in the university, but also the result of his hard work for more than ten years after he started working.
.
In a sense, the knowledge he learned in school is the foundation, and then an application is developed from this foundation in the process of work.
"Shujie, to be honest, I think you are the most capable person in our Caojiazhuang." Cao Shuchao looked at Cao Shujie with an expression of admiration on his face.
Cao Shujie smiled but said nothing.
After he left here, he went to the strawberry field and found that there were more and more strawberries transitioning from green to white, and then from white to red.
This means that the first crop will mature soon.
He thought about contacting Zuo Le first and asking him to take a batch of goods to the market to test the waters.
Just as he was thinking about it, Cao Shujie's cell phone rang. He took it out and looked at it. He noted the words "pot wholesale" and immediately remembered a wholesale plastic pot supplier he had found online in mid-March.
We made an agreement with the other party to make 40,000 small pots weighing two kilograms and 10,000 small pots weighing three kilograms each.
A two-pound pot costs 1.2 yuan a piece, and a three-pound pot costs 1.5 yuan.
This batch of goods cost Cao Shujie a total of 63,000 yuan, and he also paid 1,300 yuan for shipping.
After answering the phone and chatting with the other party, Cao Shujie realized that the truck delivering pots to him would arrive today and asked him to pay attention to receiving the 50,000 pots.
Cao Shujie didn't expect the other party to come over so quickly.
After asking for the driver's phone number, Cao Shujie immediately contacted the delivery driver and found out that the driver had just arrived in Pingyuan County and was running to Caojiazhuang, Qingshi Town.
40 minutes later, a driver named Xia Changlai drove a red 11-meter truck and delivered the basin to him.
Seeing that his pots only occupied a small part of the truck, Cao Shujie knew that there must be other goods on the truck, but that had nothing to do with him.
Asking Xia Changlai to drive the truck to the mountain, Cao Shujie called Cao Shuchao, Zhu Shengliang, and Zhuang Xuesong to unload all the basins and place them next to the hut, leaning against the wall.
Cover it with tarpaulin and it's perfect.
Cao Shujie had already paid the freight required for this trip to the supplier. After Xia Changlai watched the pots being unloaded, he drank a glass of water at Cao Shujie's place and looked at Cao Shujie's orchard.
He has other things to do, and Cao Shujie is not familiar with him. Besides, the truck does not come from this province at first glance. Even if Cao Shujie wants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with him, it will not be of much use.
After sending the other party away, Cao Shujie returned to the hut and took a sip of water.
Cao Shuchao asked him: "Shujie, what do you want to put these pots in?"
When they were unloading the truck, Cao Shuchao was filled with doubts.
At this moment, seeing the delivery driver leaving, Cao Shuchao could no longer bear it and asked this question.
Unlike ordinary basins, these basins have many small holes. They are more like basins for draining water after washing vegetables. But even if they drain water, they don't use so many basins.
Zhu Shengliang's mind was very lively. He asked: "Boss, do you want to use these pots to hold strawberries?"
"Master Zhu is still right." Cao Shujie gave Zhu Shengliang a thumbs-up thumbs up.
Cao Shuchao was a little confused. He said, "In this case, this basin will be disposable?"
"Of course, what else do you think?" Cao Shujie did not explain too much.
Replacing it with packaging boxes is not cheap either.
Besides, the money was included in the strawberries, so he definitely couldn't suffer a loss.
Two days later, the plastic wrap was delivered. Cao Shujie told Cao Shuchao that if he was not around, Cao Shuchao would just take it.
After finishing his work, Cao Shujie remembered that Tian Mao's Mansion was still setting up the stove there. He quickly went over and took a look, only to find that the other party had already finished three of them. He was building the fourth one. When he saw Cao Shujie coming over, Tian Mao's Mansion
Even said hello to him.
"Master Tian, how long will it take to finish?" Cao Shujie asked.
Tian Maofu said: "After finishing this one, get two more ones to boil water and that's it."
Just think about it, there were so many people that day, how much food do you have to cook in a short time?
Without a stove, it will definitely not be enough.
"Are we burning charcoal or wood?" Cao Shujie asked a very layman's question.
Tian Maofu looked at him with a surprised expression, and then said: "Light it with wood and burn charcoal behind."
This is just like Cao Shujie's impression that lighting the stove in their home is the same operation.
In the meantime, Cao Shujie received another call from Cao Zhen. Cao Zhen mainly asked about the progress of the stove base.
Cao Shujie told him the progress truthfully.
Hearing that Cao Shujie had been watching here, Cao Zhen was very moved, and there were some things he kept in his heart that didn't need to be said.
Unconsciously, it was noon. When Cao Shujie was preparing to go home for dinner from the orchard on the mountain, several other people also closed the door and went home for dinner.
When passing by Tian Maofu, Cao Shujie asked him to go home to have something to eat with him, but Tian Maofu refused.
Tian Maofu said: "I have dry food and pickles in the car. You don't need to worry about me. I will eat after I finish my work."
This left Cao Shujie speechless. He thought to himself that these people worked really hard to make money.
"Master Tian, don't be in a hurry to eat. After I go down and cook, I will bring you a plate of food." After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he hurried down the mountain.
Tian Maofu raised his hand, still wanting to reject Cao Shujie's kindness, but he could no longer be found.
He didn't think much about it and continued working, thinking that he would finish it early and have to go to the next place.
Tian Maofu and the master who specializes in wedding banquets cooperate with each other. This is what he does and he earns this money.
But what Tian Maofu didn't expect was that within half an hour, Cao Shujie served a large soup bowl with a full bowl of vegetables.
In addition to this bowl of food, Cao Shujie also put 4 steamed buns in a plastic bag and brought them to him.
When he handed the bowl to Tian Maofu, the mouth of the bowl was still steaming.
"Boss Cao, why are you so polite? I really brought pickles." Tian Maofu was very moved.
Cao Shujie didn't care about that, he said: "Master Tian, hurry up and eat it while it's hot."
"If you give me a small job, I can't let you not even have a hot meal to eat."
"Master Tian, please eat first. I'll go inside and get you some water. Do you want some tea?" Cao Shujie kept talking. Without waiting for Tian Maofu to answer him, he opened the door of the orchard and entered the hut, and drank some tea.
Bring a cup of tea to Tian Maofu.
"Hurry up and eat it while it's hot!" Cao Shujie said.
Tian Maofu looked at Cao Shujie's young face and was speechless.
Looking at a bowl full of winter melon stewed pork ribs, still steaming, hot steamed buns and freshly brewed tea, Tian Maofu was stunned for a while, and he suddenly said something: "Boss Cao, to tell you the truth
, since I started this job, except for my relatives and friends, this is the first hot meal you have eaten here."
When Cao Shujie heard what he said, he paused in raising his hand. At that moment, Cao Shujie felt bad.
He just thought that he should do this, so he did it according to his own ideas.
"Master Tian, do you specialize in cooking the stove? Do you also do other tasks? I think you do it very neatly. If you know other things, I will see you next time and treat you to a meal." Cao Shujie didn't care about what was going on behind him.
Whether he really did that or not, the words coming out of his mouth made people feel very comfortable.
When Tian Maofu heard Cao Shujie ask this, he smiled and said, "As long as it's a mason's job, I can do anything."
"Okay, Master Tian, please leave me a phone number. I'll call you when I have work here." Cao Shujie said this.
Tian Maofu handed him a business card. Cao Shujie took it and saw that on the back of the card were written all the technical trades that Tian Maofu knew.
Tian Maofu ate very quickly, taking chopsticks to eat the food he had just cooked, regardless of how hot it was.
There were four steamed buns in a bowl of food, and he finished them in a short time. He even burped at the end.
He drank the tea in the cup again, expressed his gratitude to Cao Shujie, and then continued working with the masonry knife.
When Cao Shuchao, Zhu Shengliang and Zhuang Xuesong came to the orchard on the mountain after lunch at home, they saw that all six stoves had been set, and Tian Maofu was using some wood he brought to start a fire.
I reached into the small hole under the stove, and soon there was smoke coming out of the stove.
Tian Maofu said that he wanted to use this method to dry the stove as quickly as possible.
Normally, the owner would do this job himself, but Tian Mao's house had Cao Shujie's lunch today, and he was too embarrassed to mention it, so he took over the job himself.
When he finally left, the sky was already dark, and the second job in Tian Mao Mansion was not completed. Even he couldn't tell whether he made a profit or a loss today, but he knew that he felt very comfortable doing so.
…
At Cao Shujie's house, Cheng Xiaolin edited the video of her husband and Mengmeng playing by the Yellow River yesterday, added text and copy, and uploaded it to three platforms.
The editor of Youku did not expect Cheng Xiaolin to be so productive.
The style of this video is different from the two videos Cheng Xiaolin made before. There is nothing funny in it, but he can see the harmony of the family from this video.
On the other side, Zhu Zheng, the content editor of Xinku 6, is also thinking about contacting Cheng Xiaolin again and wanting to discuss signing a contract with her.
Regarding copyright, Zhu Zheng could not agree to the other party's request, but he felt that he could persuade Cheng Xiaolin to agree to the terms of the contract.
But the message was sent and no one responded.
There are a few typos, which have been corrected. I am not in good spirits at night, and I have been busy with work recently, which is a very contradictory time combination.
