Chapter 32: Give Me a Kiss
The order volume of Muyeyuan tomorrow is 30 catties, and there are not many in the past few days.
Lu Dongye felt that now he could definitely complete such a small amount of work by himself alone.
However, he did the math and found that he didn't have much time to pick wild fruits.
Du Liyuan told him that she would bring people to the foot of the mountain at 8 o'clock in the morning, and let the back kitchen urgently deal with the wild fruits in the past two days, and the back kitchen was almost unable to hold on, so she had to ensure that the wild fruits could reach the town before noon.
It takes more than half an hour to drive from the village to the foot of the mountain.
This decided that Lu Dongye needed to leave at 7:20.
Extrapolating the time further, even if he can pick ten catties in 20 minutes, it will take an hour to finish thirty catties.
In this way, it seems that getting up at 6 o'clock is enough.
However, there are many kinds of wild fruits needed in Muye Garden, which are divided into different areas of the mountain, unlike today's ten catties, Du Liyuan only needs two kinds of wild fruits.
Counting the trip in between, I'm afraid it's not enough to get up at 5 o'clock.
At that time, it was not yet dawn, so could it be possible to use a flashlight to identify the quality of wild fruits?
Not to mention that the efficiency is even lower, and when the wasted time is converted, I am afraid that I will have to get up at four o'clock.
This is clearly unrealistic.
Lu Dongye was indeed busy running up and down all day, and after this whole day, he just went back and forth over the mountain four times, one of which was carrying Li Xiaoyu on his back, but Lu Dongye found that he didn't feel tired.
Now he wasn't sure if +1 strength + 1 agility was working, or if his body was secreting adrenal hormones and was overdrafting.
If it was the latter, not only would he need plenty of rest, but he would probably not be able to get up early tomorrow morning.
Of course, Lu Dongye had to take these concerns into account.
The first business that was on the right track, he didn't want to make any mistakes.
Moreover, in the long run, when Mu Yeyuan's demand is increasing, it is completely impossible for him to be busy by himself.
Therefore, Lu Dongye must find manpower!!
To be honest, at night, even if you use a flashlight to collect 30 catties of wild fruits, it is the most ideal state, and you don't need to worry too much.
But the problem is that the wild fruit will definitely not be fresh if left overnight.
Lu Dongye didn't want to cheat Du Liyuan, he knew that he was also cheating himself.
The contract, after the two parties are completely separated, is just a few pieces of waste paper, and business cannot be maintained by the contract.
Therefore, Lu Dongye took advantage of the children's dinner in the cafeteria to tell them that if there was nothing important at home, he would return to the classroom after eating, and he had something to say.
So, all the children, none of them sat back in the classroom.
Chen Muqian stood under the stage, and even Li Xiaoyu arrived on crutches.
Lu Dongye stood on the podium, looking at the innocent eyes staring at him, his eyes skimming the children's shabby clothes and rough hands, and a strange emotion was growing in his heart.
"Students, I'm sure you have also seen it today, I brought people from outside the village to the school, they are merchants who came to collect the wild fruits in our village, and I and the village chief also signed a contract with them. ”
Lu Dongye tried his best to calm his voice, but emotionally, it was difficult to hide the intensifying excitement: "From now on, if it goes well, I guarantee that everyone can eat meat every day!"
The children's eyes lit up in an instant.
Lu Dongye saw it in his eyes and struck while the iron was hot: "When we gradually sell more wild fruits in the future, you can all change into new clothes! Put on new books! New stationery! Even new desks and chairs!"
The whole classroom was boiling in an instant.
The children looked excitedly at their companions, and suddenly they couldn't control their excitement and chattered about it.
For most of them, the clothes they wear are donated old clothes, and they have been sewn and mended many times, and some have never even seen new clothes!
The textbooks used are also from donations, desks and chairs, etc., which are already very old when Lu Dongye was a child.
How can the children not be excited if everything is completely new?!
Even Granny Wang, who was standing outside the classroom door and looking around, couldn't help but show a smiling face, revealing her bright red gums that had almost lost all her teeth.
Just when the children's discussion was at its most lively, Lu Dongye spoke again: "Quiet!"
As soon as he said this, the children immediately shut their mouths.
The teaching environment in the mountain village is indeed a little poor, but the children are very obedient and sensible, which is the most gratifying place for Lu Dongye.
"But there's one thing I have to make clear. ”
Lu Dongye's expression became serious, and the children also held their breath one by one when they saw him like this.
"Right now, the school doesn't have the money to hire people to go up to the mountains to pick wild fruits, so we need everyone to get up early and work hard like they did yesterday. ”
Lu Dongye saw that some children had already shown doubts, or looked at Li Xiaoyu in horror, so he hurriedly said: "You can rest assured, I have asked a professional to clean up an area, as long as you pick wild fruits in that area, you don't have to worry about encountering poisonous snakes again...... No, there are no snakes left in that area. ”
As soon as these words came out, the children's faces showed smiles again.
Lu Dongye saw it in his eyes, and tried his best to make it easy to accept: "Starting tomorrow, everyone will get up at 6 o'clock, and you must gather at the school at 6:30, this kind of day may last for a while, but I also promise you that as soon as there is enough money in the school, I will immediately spend money to hire someone to pick wild fruits and share it for everyone." ”
As soon as he said this, a child suddenly shouted, "Headmaster, don't! We can just do it ourselves! Leave the money for the hire and do something else!"
It was the squad leader Wang Erqiang who spoke, and before the words fell, other children immediately nodded.
Lu Dongye couldn't help laughing: "Wang Erqiang, your heart is good, and everyone's intentions are also good, but the amount of wild fruits that need to be picked in the future will be larger and larger, and relying on us alone is far from enough." ”
The children immediately fell silent.
"Okay, I'll stop here first, tomorrow morning at half past six, everyone remember to come to the school on time to gather, understand?"
The children shouted in unison, "Understood!"
Lu Dongye slapped the podium: "Get out of school!"
The children flocked out, almost every child with a different degree of smile on their faces, and Lu Dongye could imagine that these children must be eager to go home and share the joy of the future with their relatives.
"Teacher Xiaoyu, don't go tomorrow, wait until your feet are well. ”
Lu Dongye looked at the two teachers on the field: "Teacher Chen Muqian, can you work hard for another day?"
Before Chen Muqian could speak, Li Xiaoyu shook her head frantically: "Principal Lu, don't, let Teacher Chen Muqian take a break, she is too tired in the past two days, and she will get sick if she continues like this! I can! Although I can't walk, I can lead the team!"
Chen Muqian waved her hand with a big grin: "Okay, Teacher Xiaoyu, I'm not bad this morning, you can recuperate, the mountain road is so difficult to walk, don't go, you can help me substitute tomorrow, I will have a good rest in the morning after I am busy." ”
Li Xiaoyu was speechless for a moment.
"Well, just do what Teacher Chen Muqian said. Lu Dongye agreed.
Li Xiaoyu glanced at Chen Muqian distressedly, but nodded, bit her lip and went out, the two days that Chen Muqian helped her share were always a lot of pressure in her heart.
In the classroom, there were only two left, Lu Dongye and Chen Muqian.
"It's been a really hard time for you these two days. Lu Dongye looked at her seriously.
Chen Muqian said with a hippie smile: "Yes, it's so hard, Principal Lu should give me a kiss to soothe my tired soul!"
With that, she pressed her body up.
Lu Dongye could only hurriedly support her with his hand, and said helplessly: "Don't make trouble, be serious, didn't you say that you had something to report to me at noon? It's about the children, right?"
Chen Muqian stood up straight a little unhappily, but still nodded, and her expression became positive: "Yes." ”
