Chapter seven hundred and sixteen money can communicate
After hearing Mike's explanation, Liang Fei felt his head grow bigger, and his face became the same color as the trunk of a grapevine.
If there is no irrigation equipment or a reservoir, how should the water from Fairy Lake be treated? Do we need to water it one tree at a time?
Mike saw something wrong with Liang Fei's expression, and quickly asked: "Are you...are you okay? I see that you don't look well. Are you suffering from jet lag syndrome again? Do you want to go to the house and take a rest?"
"Yeah, I feel a little uncomfortable, and I feel so panicked... Mike, you really made an international joke on me this time!"
"What's wrong with me? How could I make an international joke with you?" Mike looked helpless and couldn't figure out what mistake he had made.
Naturally, Liang Fei couldn't explain to Mike about watering trees with Fairy Lake water, so he could only curse the hammer in his heart, then shook his head silently, and reconsidered how to use Fairy Lake water to water grapes.
The two came to a small wooden house in a vineyard. Liang Fei sat on a wooden chair and asked: "When do workers usually spray pesticides and insecticides? When do they spread fertilizers?"
When Mike heard this, he started talking to him.
It turns out that all the vineyards here are under the unified management of the local government. Farmers will not water the grapevines or spray pesticides and insecticides without receiving instructions from the government.
In fact, the local government's regulations on watering are not exactly what Mike said, and Mike only has a partial understanding of those regulations.
But now, what Mike said casually made Liang Fei anxious.
This is awesome!
Even if you spray pesticides to repel insects, using Fairy Lake water, the mission plants will not suffer from insect pests.
However, this watering... Watering requires government orders to be carried out? This is going to involve the Milky Way!
After all, I am abroad, and I have gained a lot of experience now.
Liang Fei's mood immediately became extremely heavy, and he had the urge to hit his head against the wall.
He finally resisted the urge, swallowed a sip of saliva, gasped, looked at Mike speechlessly and asked: "Brother, in this case, when does the local government usually order watering?"
Seeing that Liang Fei's expression was solemn, as if he was a different person, Mike hesitated for a moment. In order to avoid making any mistakes, he called a farmer and asked about the situation before he dared to answer Liang Fei's question.
The answer he got was that since the dry season has not yet entered, the next watering time, if nothing unexpected happens, should be in the middle of next month.
After hearing this, Liang Fei's face suddenly stretched like a bitter gourd, and he said listlessly to Mike: "Mr. Mike, I can't wait here for a month, and I really can't help you. Please buy me a ticket for tomorrow."
I have to go back to my country for a flight ticket back home.”
Hearing this, Mike was not happy: "Liang Fei, what nonsense are you talking about? Are you planning to quit? Can you explain it to me? Isn't this good? Look at these vines, grapes
It hasn’t grown yet. Look at the professional staff, all of them are experienced..."
Yes, those professionals were still suspecting that this young boss from the East was underage! Did he show up so soon?
Liang Fei continued to sigh, spread his hands, and said: "Let me tell you clearly, I can indeed grow good grapes. But you have to let me water it, otherwise, everything will be in vain! My secret is
In the water! Don’t ask about anything else.”
When Mike heard this, he immediately jumped up and yelled: "Then you water! Regardless of grandma's government order, we are the boss, let alone watering, we can pee on the grapevine! Whoever dares to report it, who will I follow?
urgent!"
"Hey, Mr. Mike, don't be so excited..."
Liang Fei was really frightened by Mike's actions, and quickly said: "Okay, I'm just going to tell you this, I'll think of a way to water the vines with so many vines. Just the vineyard.
We need more manpower, I’m afraid we won’t be able to do it all in a short time.”
"We're hiring! Temporary workers, the most indispensable thing here is temporary workers!"
Mike seemed to have a very good understanding of the humanities and customs of this area. Upon hearing this, he extemporaneously said: "The Australians here are notoriously lazy and like to make quick money by doing odd jobs. Give them more wages and I guarantee that they will be better than those in your country."
All buffaloes must be diligent!"
After hearing this, Liang Fei felt dumbfounded. He could only agree with Mike's approach and decided to start watering the water tomorrow.
At this point, if there is no watering equipment, we can only use the most primitive watering method.
Before the farmers got off work, Liang Fei ordered them to prepare dozens of buckets of water. The buckets in the vineyard were not enough, so they had to buy them temporarily.
The farmers didn't understand what Liang Fei was doing and complained one after another, thinking that Liang Fei was just looking for trouble and was simply causing trouble.
Of course, this is a translated and processed statement. If their original words were used, the content would be too dirty and unpalatable.
However, money can bring magic, no matter what country you are in. As long as you have money and it is not illegal, you can say anything. After Liang Fei asked Mike to give an "extra bonus" to each of the Australian guys, they became honest.
Afterwards, the farmers were unambiguous and got off work on time after finishing their work. They did not ask you what you used the water you brought.
Early the next morning, Liang Fei took advantage of the fact that no one was around, poured out the water in each bucket, and replaced it all with Fairy Lake water.
When the farmers came to work on time, he asked Mike to convey the message for him, instructing the farmers to start watering the vines.
The farmers complained again. They refused to water the grapes on the grounds that based on their past experience, the current grapevines did not need water. They would not accept this stupid planting method.
Facing this group of difficult workers, Liang Fei didn't plan to hand out red envelopes this time, and just started yelling.
Unfortunately, except for Mike, none of the foreigners present could understand what Liang Fei meant.
So Mike continued his translation work and said to the farmers: "If you like it, go ahead, if you don't, get out!"
He turned around and said to Liang Fei: "To be honest, they don't want to do this. If you tell them to get out, they won't be able to do it even after they have paid their wages. You will have to pay extra."
Liang Fei was speechless on the spot after hearing this. It seems that only after becoming a boss did he realize that it must be easier to develop a career in China...
After some persuasion from Mike, the farmers reluctantly started watering.
After the watering work was completed, they sent a representative to bargain with Mike, demanding a fifty percent increase in this month's salary.
They are not stupid. They know that they cannot water all the vines in one day, and they will definitely continue to work like this in the next few days, so they thought of asking for a wage increase.
Liang Fei had no time to waste with them, so he had to agree to the request first and observe the future growth of the vines.
After several days of hard work, the farmers finally watered all the grape vines. Taking advantage of his free time, Liang Fei also went online to learn about the characteristics of wine grapes.
There are obvious differences between wine grapes and food grapes. Food grapes generally have thin skins, fleshy and sweet fruits. Wine grapes have thick skins, are sour and a bit astringent.
As for why we strictly control the amount of watering, there is no other reason. We are just worried that too much water will affect the acidity of the grapes.
When they squeeze the grape juice, in order to ensure the taste of the juice, they don't even wash the grapes with water. Instead, they squeeze the juice directly after collecting it, so as to avoid the excess water in the grape water from diluting the taste of the grape itself.
Liang Fei is not worried that water from the Fairy Lake will have a negative impact on the grapevines. He is convinced that the grapevines produced after absorbing the water from the Fairy Lake will only highlight their own characteristics.
In other words, the grapes produced in the future can only be of high quality and will never become defective products.
After feeling that everything was in order, Liang Fei proposed to Mike that he would return to China first and then come back to water the vines during the dry season.
Mike looked at Liang Fei in such a hurry to return home, and felt that he had not made any special contribution to the vines, so he asked doubtfully: "Is this done? Your method...is to spend more money to let farmers water the grapes?"
"Okay, okay, you will see the effect in just a few days. The premise is that you must trust me. By the way, you must notify me in advance during the dry season. I can't make you have to make another trip to apply for the visa.
"
Mike stopped questioning. Since the other party was confident, he could only do what the other party said. The most important thing was to see the results. In the harvest season, he would be able to see whether what Liang Fei said was true or false.
