Chapter 490 Time is not forgiving (Yesterday’s 4000)
Cao Shujie originally wanted to take his eldest brother and second brother to the farm restaurant for lunch, but when he thought about how many people were crowded together today, he couldn't even eat at the farm restaurant.
Before going out, he told his mother Wang Yuelan to prepare some food in advance. Cao Shujie would go to the farm restaurant later to pick up two dishes and bring back some fresh braised beef, so he could make do with it.
Uncle Cao Jianlin prefers to eat at home. He feels that only by cooking at home can he taste the taste of home.
If you go to a restaurant, it's actually the same as eating in Anyi. There's nothing different about it.
…
Brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin walked up the mountain with their cousin Cao Shujie.
Cheng Xiaolin took her two sisters-in-law and three children behind and introduced them to the situation in the orchard.
Smelling the strong fragrance of roses and osmanthus, and looking at the flowers blooming all over the mountains and plains, sisters-in-law Ren Jingjing and Zhang Yi didn't want to leave. They felt that it was much better here than in Anyi City.
What kind of building is this? It's really not as good as the two-story building my cousin built himself. It's not expensive and it's comfortable to live in.
The greening in the community is incomparable to this place. The environment in front of us is too different.
"Sister-in-law, look over there, the kiwis are fully ripe, and the apples will have to wait for another two months, almost until the National Day." Cheng Xiaolin pointed to the 57-acre orchard to the east to Zhang Yi and Ren Jingjing.
Ren Jingjing also asked her: "Is this the orchard you planted before? I remember it was planted more than two years ago, right?"
"Well, it was planted here in 2011, and this year is the third year." Cheng Xiaolin led them around the corner and entered the orchard first.
Cao Shujie took his two cousins and continued walking forward. They had no purpose, they just walked around the orchard.
While looking at the dense crowd of people in the kiwi fruit orchard, Cao Shubin thought that when he arrived here just now, his cousin Cao Shujie told him that there was no money in the orchard. He always felt that what his cousin said about "no money" was what he understood.
Not making money' may have a large information bias.
If nothing else, it is impossible for these people alone not to make money.
Unknowingly, they came to the strawberry garden. The brothers looked at the bare land and asked Cao Shujie why those strawberries were gone.
After hearing his cousin tell them that strawberries have basically reached their growth limit in two years, the yield will go downhill after that, and it will not be worthwhile to continue planting them, so Cao Shujie cleared all the strawberry seedlings in advance.
"I plan to wait until next month to plant new strawberry seedlings so that they can bear fruit again next year," Cao Shujie said.
Only then did brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin understand what was going on.
When he saw the sika deer in the deer park, Cao Shujie thought of something: "Brother, when I leave, I will bring you some velvet antler slices back. You can eat and play when you have nothing to do. It can nourish your body."
Brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin knew what deer antler slices were. When their cousin said it so lightly, they really didn't dare to ask for it: "You can keep it for yourself..."
"Why keep it? I originally wanted to sell it, but then I thought it was stupid to sell it. Unfortunately, I got kicked in the head by a donkey and sold 80% of the first crop of velvet antlers. I will not sell any of the next velvet antlers and keep them all for myself." Cao Shujie
Figured this out.
Unless the doe on his side gives birth to another fawn, and then the male deer accumulates more and more antlers, then he will consider selling the antlers to make money.
However, Cao Shujie has also thought about it. Even then, he will only sell low-quality velvet antler slices, and he will not sell velvet antler slices such as full wax flakes and half wax flakes.
Sell for money.
In Cao Shujie's view, people can be stupid once, but they cannot be stupid all the time!
Real sika deer antler slices, both full wax slices and half wax slices are good.
Even so, brothers Cao Shuxin and Cao Shubin did not want to take advantage of their cousin in vain.
They know very well that deer antler slices are very expensive to sell outside. The market price has reached several thousand yuan per catty. I heard that the better ones cost tens of thousands. And there is a price but no market. This thing is really as good as gold.
.
They wandered around the orchard for a long time before going down the mountain road from the north.
All the way to the farm restaurant, Cao Shujie did not forget to call his wife and tell him that he would come to the farm restaurant to pick up some vegetables and let them go home directly after picking the kiwis.
"Shujie, are you busy with other things besides the orchard now?" Cao Shubin asked him.
He didn't know this at first, but his son mentioned that his third uncle was in the news. Cao Shubin checked the relevant news on his mobile phone, and then he saw from the news that his cousin seemed to have built a factory in the town.
Cao Shujie neatly told them about the factories in the town.
"Brother Bin, let's eat first. If you have time in the afternoon, I will take you to see the town." Cao Shujie said this.
"You're still so busy here, so forget it."
Cao Shubin saw that there were so many people on his cousin's side, and thought that his cousin would be unable to get away, so he would be embarrassed to let him take him around the town.
But Cao Shujie waved to him and said: "Brother, you are wrong. I have quite a lot of projects now. There is also a breeding farm in this orchard here, and there is a breeding farm of more than 100 acres in the south. There are also many projects in the town.
If there is a factory, if it remains the same as before and I have to do everything myself, then I will be too busy with this job and can't live my life?"
"Speaking of it, I only realized this truth last year. Sometimes I have to properly delegate power and delegate some of the power. Only those who work for me are under pressure, and only when they are under pressure can they find ways to do their jobs well."
"If I do everything, they will be lazy and perfunctory. Anyway, if something goes wrong, it will still be my problem."
"So after I figured this out, I just focused on the core. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had time to take my grandpa and my parents out for fun last year. It would have been almost a month since I left."
Having said this, Cao Shujie looked at his two cousins and said: "Actually, you are the same. A department or a company is all the same. You can try to delegate some of your power. The effect will be better than before."
"In my opinion, the leader should only do what the leader should do, and don't get caught in all kinds of miscellaneous things. After all, human energy is limited."
While he was talking, Cao Shujie had already stepped into the farm restaurant. When brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin heard what their cousin said, they felt like they were suddenly awakened.
After careful consideration, what my cousin said is true.
I want to think about it, but this thing is not easy to do.
Especially like Cao Shubin, although he is a department manager, in the end he still works for others. How can he be like his cousin?
"Lao Gao, cut me 5 pounds of beef and take it away." Cao Shujie came to the stall and shouted inside.
The man holding the knife inside was also called Gao Fei. When he saw that the second boss was here, he didn't waste any time and asked Cao Shujie if he wanted to cut it into small pieces.
"No, you are so busy, I can just take it back and cut it myself." Cao Shujie said.
Lao Gao was not polite, cut a large piece of beef into a bag, and weighed it. This piece of braised beef was close to 6 kilograms.
"Boss, what other dishes do you need?" Lao Gao asked him.
He knew that there must be guests at Cao Shujie's house.
Cao Shujie originally thought about asking Lao Gao to arrange some cooking for him, but seeing so many people in the restaurant, he decided not to do it after thinking about it.
"That's it, you guys are busy, I'll go home and cook first." After Cao Shujie paid the money, he took his eldest brother and second brother and walked home again.
On the way, he met another group of people who called him Director Cao. At this time, Cao Shujie would stop and say hello to them, shake hands, and say a few words with a smile.
Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin saw that their cousin was now chatting with so many people from all over the country, and they couldn't help feeling that his cousin was indeed different now than in the past.
When she returned home, Cheng Xiaolin had already returned with her two sisters-in-law and three little ones. They also picked several baskets of kiwi fruits.
Seeing the little ones excitedly circling around the kiwi fruit they had picked, Cao Yixin even asked his mother to take a photo of him and send it to the class group.
"Third uncle, you are back."
Cao Yixin pointed to the kiwi fruit in the basket and said to Cao Shujie: "Third uncle, look at it, we picked these."
"Yeah, then you have to take them all back to eat, and you can't leave any of them for me, okay?" Cao Shujie looked at him with a smile.
The little guy shouted loudly: "Okay, Third Uncle, let me tell you, after I take it back, I will give some to my good friends."
"I told them that Mengmeng Orchard belongs to Uncle San, but they still didn't believe me and said that I lied to them. It's really funny. What's the point of lying to them?" Cao Yixin is still aggrieved.
Cao Shujie didn't know about this. Hearing what his nephew said, Cao Shujie went on to say: "If that's the case, you can pick some in the afternoon and give two to each of your classmates, and I will put the logo on you.
You must convince your classmates, Yixin, what do you think?"
Cao Yixin just thought about agreeing, but when he thought about dividing it among all the students in the class, how many would he have to pick?
"No, no, that's too much. If you don't have a good relationship with me, you don't need to give it to me." This kid knew the difference quite clearly.
The adults were all amused by these words of clear grudges.
But Cao Shujie said: "Yixin, you can't think like that. You must have a good relationship with all the students in your class. This is your ability."
"Ah..." Cao Yixin was stunned.
Looking at the confused little guy, Cao Shujie didn't explain it and let him slowly understand the truth. He carried the beef he brought back into the kitchen, cut all the braised beef he brought back into slices, and smashed some minced garlic.
Divide into two plates and serve out.
Looking at the other dishes prepared by his mother, Cao Shujie directly took the spoon and cooked them.
When the dishes were cooked and ready for dinner, Cao Shujie brought out all the good wine at home.
He said: "We are open to drink today. If we can't go to the factory in the afternoon, we will go early tomorrow morning, just in time to avoid the peak crowd period."
Cao Shubin and others agreed with Cao Shujie's statement.
With the amount of people outside, cars can't get out at all, even riding an electric bike would be difficult.
They really drank freely during this meal.
…
On the morning of the second day, I saw that there were not many people outside. After having breakfast at home, a large family drove two GL8s towards the town.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at Cao Shujie's factory in the town.
"Shujie, your factory is quite big!" Second sister-in-law Ren Jingjing said as she looked at the factory.
Being praised by his sister-in-law, Cao Shujie felt a little embarrassed: "Sister-in-law, there are only about 60 employees in the factory, which is not big."
"Hey, more than 60 people are not a small number. Shujie, how much money did you invest in total?"
Cao Shuxin asked him, and he said: "I saw in the news that you invested more than 30 million yuan here?"
"Are there really that many?"
Cao Shujie was embarrassed when he heard this number: "Second brother, don't listen to what the news says. If you count them all, it's over 20 million!"
Cao Shuxin didn't ask any more questions.
What is the difference between these more than 20 million and 30 million to him?
Cao Shuxin felt that what was said in the news was quite true.
He also invested his own money and did it himself. He knew very well that the investment plan was more than 20 million, and if he continued to work, he might exceed this expectation, and there would be a lot more in the future.
Walking in together, Cao Shulin saw them coming and said hello to Cao Shujie first.
When he turned to look at Cao Shubin, Cao Shuxin, and Cao Jianlin who came in behind, he suddenly felt that these three people looked familiar.
He thought hard for a while, and then asked: "Oh, isn't this Uncle Jianlin, and also Brother Bin and Brother Xin?"
Seeing them nodding, Cao Shulin was even more happy: "Uncle, Brother Bin, Brother Xin, when did you come back? Hey, we need a drink at noon."
"Brother Shulin, we can't do it today. We came back yesterday morning and have to go back this afternoon. The children still have to go to school."
"Next time, we will definitely call you for a drink when we come back next time."
After hearing what Cao Shubin said, Cao Shulin didn't force himself anymore. He said, "That's right. Nowadays, aren't we all going to school for the sake of our children?"
Cao Jianlin looked at Cao Shulin and asked him how long he had been working here and how he was doing.
"Uncle, it's good for me to work here at Shujie. It's much better than working outside before." Cao Shulin said sincerely.
He looked at the two brothers Cao Yichuan and Cao Yixin behind him and asked Cao Shubin and the others: "Is this his nephew? It doesn't feel like it took long for him to be so old?"
"Isn't that right, Brother Shulin, look at the white hair on my head. Time is not forgiving!" Cao Shubin touched his hair with his hand, revealing the white hair underneath.
In addition to Cao Shulin, several people from Caojiazhuang behind saw Cao Jianlin, Cao Shubin, and Cao Shuxin coming, and they all came to say hello.
They are all from the same village, they are all elderly, and they all know Cao Jianlin and his father.
After chatting lively for a while, Cao Shujie led his entire family into the workshop.
Looking at the workshop that was still under construction, brothers Cao Shubin and Cao Shuxin finally understood the concept of investing more than 20 million yuan that their cousin had just mentioned.
Yesterday morning, I ran more than 400 kilometers on the highway, and there was a traffic jam. After I came back, I was really tired. I fell asleep while writing at night -_-||
