After solving the packaging problem, Xu Erlong began to think about the issue of receiving the red oranges.
Due to regional reasons, every household here grows citrus, just like jujube and persimmon trees are common in other areas.
Xu Erlong handed over the issue of purchasing red tangerines for their commune to Huang Zhengnong's office.
"Captain Huang, just hurry up and collect it. You can collect as much as you can in three days. I'll calculate it for you based on five yuan a day's wages. Do you think it's okay?" Xu Erlong planned to use money to let people do things.
.
The salary of five yuan a day is really high.
What's more, it's right at your doorstep, so you don't have to go out or delay things.
Huang Zhengnong readily agreed.
Xu Erlong once again stated the criteria for receiving the goods. They were big, sweet, and ripe enough. Those that were green and yellow would definitely not be accepted.
Two cents per pound, how much is there, how much is charged.
Huang Xiaogang, Yu Ping, Qian Ya and others were a little surprised when they heard that this matter was actually handed over to Huang Zhengnong.
Second brother won’t take them to play now?
Xu Erlong had his own plan in mind.
To produce ten tons in three days, we must find more manpower.
Xu Erlong rushed to several other towns with a few people without stopping.
Taking his cigarettes with him, he went to find some prestigious people in these towns and villages, and continued to purchase red tangerines according to these requirements.
The reason why people with some prestige in these towns are allowed to collect the goods is because they are locals, have prestige, and are familiar with the roads, so they can more easily collect the goods, and there is less chance of accidents.
If Xu Erlong took his own people there and collected them slowly, he would easily run into some local gangsters, local gangsters and the like.
Be careful when sailing the ship that lasts ten thousand years.
He would rather make less money than have an accident.
Time is money.
If you delay for a while, there will be nothing left.
And Xu Erlong told Qian Ya, Yu Ping, Luo Bao'er and others to be responsible for gathering these red oranges in one place so that it would be convenient for trucks to load them.

During recess, Xu Xiaoling stayed in the classroom and read books.
All the classmates in the class are children of chemical factory workers.
These children have basically grown up together in the factory since they were born, went to daycare together, went to kindergarten together, went to elementary school together, and now go to middle school together.
For Xiaoling, a student who suddenly appeared, everyone did not accept her enthusiastically. Even her classmates did not want to talk to her.
She has no presence in the class.
As the class bell rang, the head teacher, Duan Hongmei, came in holding a stack of textbooks.
In her hand is a roster, which she asked her classmates to fill in and submit yesterday.
On it, the specific information of each child is registered, including who the father is, who the mother is, what they do for a living, and where they live.
Duan Hongmei found a high-sounding reason to rearrange the seats for the students.
In her words, this is for everyone's better development.
Each and every classmate was changed by her.
Xiaoling was assigned to the back of the classroom, near the hygiene corner.
In those days, students had a consensus.
The hygiene corner is a garbage dump and a free fly massage area.
Anyone sitting in these seats is either a repeater or a troublemaker.
"Classmate Xu Xiaoling, you are relatively tall. If you sit in front, it is easy to block them." Duan Hongmei's reason was quite satisfactory, and it was hard for anyone to find fault with her.
In the roster in her hand, Xu Xiaoling's family situation was written simply and clearly.
My parents are divorced, I live in a rural area, work as a farmer, and now I rent a house...
Duan Hongmei has already taught a class, and she clearly knows that she can only climb up by pleasing those with family connections.
Now, the first three rows are people with family backgrounds and connections.
An alternative like Xu Xiaoling only deserves to sit next to a garbage dump.
When school was over in the afternoon, Xiaoling went home alone with her schoolbag on her back.
When she was about to walk to the door of the guest house, she tried to cheer up.
Zhang Jinfang cooked dinner and saw Xiaoling coming back. She was very happy: "Xiaoling, are you back? How was school today?"
"It's pretty good." Xiaoling smiled and said, "The teachers and classmates are all very good."
"That's good." Zhang Jinfang said: "It's not easy for your second brother to get this opportunity to continue studying. You must study hard."
This is what parents always say.
Xiaoling nodded: "Mom, I know."
She has dropped out of school for more than a year, and she knows exactly what a rare opportunity it is to go back to school, and she will cherish it.
Zhang Jinfang steamed a bowl of egg custard and a pickled crucian carp for her.
This is Xu Erlong's special explanation. You must ensure sufficient protein every day to ensure long body.
Zhang Jinfang doesn't know what protein is. She only knows that it is right to make delicious food for her children.
When Xu Damin was studying, the whole family tightened their belts and had to provide Xu Damin with eggs every day.
Now that she has money, of course she is willing to cook eggs, meat, and fish in various ways.
After dinner, Zhang Jinfang went to wash the dishes, while Xiaoling lay on the desk doing homework.
The light was on, and Xiaoling's slender body was reflected on the window glass.
She faced the reflection and looked at her two braids.
Then she untied her braids and tied her hair up with her hands, like the girls in the city, like a high tail.
Hearing Zhang Jinfang's footsteps approaching, she quickly put down her hands, her hair was messed up and draped over her shoulders.
"Xiaoling, what are you doing? Your hair is disheveled." Zhang Jinfang asked.
Xiaoling was a little embarrassed.
Just like those little girls who secretly wear adults' high-heeled shoes, they quickly blushed: "No, my hair is just itchy, please scratch it."
"There won't be any lice, right?" Zhang Jinfang asked, "Can I give you grates with grates?"
"No, no." Xiaoling shook her head anxiously.
In fact, she just wanted to follow the example of other female classmates and wear a high ponytail without having to tie her hair in two pigtails. She looked like a country girl.
Xu Erlong came back very late. He was very tired after traveling so many places today.
When he came back, he went up to the second floor of the guest house to see his mother and sister.
Xiaoling was washing her face carefully, washing her face again and again, and then applying cream on it carefully.
She is aware of everyone's rejection of her, and she is eager to transform quickly.
"How was school today? Anything special?" Xu Erlong asked with concern.
