589 General Mobilization
The next morning, Lao Liu also got up early. After eating breakfast, the family of three directly joined the front line of the anti-locust cause.
There's a lot of work to be done, like the shade cloths, which were bought in bundles, and now you have to cut them in advance and put them on the side of the tea tree and the coffee tree.
Now it was a general mobilization, and everyone on the farm, including the kitchen staff and the office clerks, had to come out and work together.
Xiao Miaomiao's usual life is to play, but after seeing this scene today, she must also participate. It's not a troublemaker, the little guy is really helping.
For example, on the side of the tea plantation, there is a ridge for the elderly, and it will be very laborious if you use people to walk. With the help of Xiao Miao Miao, this is semi-automated.
The critters bite a head and run around the ditch. The people here only need to cut with scissors, and that's it. They don't have a lot of effort to run around the ditch, and they can do it easily.
All you need to do is stuff some meat on them as a reward when they come back, and that's all it takes.
"Miao Miao, come on. Lao Liu shouted.
The little guy sitting on the elephant as an overseer took a bite of the mango, waved his little hand, and the second round began again.
"With the help of these animals, it seems to be a lot easier. Wang Shasha wiped the sweat from her head and said.
"It's easier to get some tea trees here, just like in the north of our country in winter. The point is that those coffee trees are a bit very tall, and it will be difficult to get rid of them in the future. Liu Wenrui said.
"Big brother is distributing people over there now. In teams of four, they are in charge of ten coffee trees. Let the monkeys help when the time comes, because they can easily go up the trees and pull the cloth up. Wang Shasha said.
"Hehe, you can also ask elephants and giraffes to help. Whether it's an elephant's trunk or a giraffe's neck, it can be of great help. Lao Liu said with a smile.
"It's really not easy to do the work of all-labor, now it's to use all the resources at hand, these guys are full of food, and now they can finally contribute some strength to the family. ”
Wang Shasha looked at him funny, this person really didn't let go of anything.
But it's precisely because of the participation of these animals that the work of the big guy is full of fun, but I don't feel too tired.
In fact, these preparations are not very tiring, but cumbersome. The whole farm is too large and there are too many places to take care of.
The number of workers on the farm is limited, and even if you recruit some temporary workers from the tribe, it is difficult to do everything.
It's not just the coffee trees here that need to be taken care of, but the coffee trees on the other side of the coffee plantation also need to be taken care of. It is still a cooperative project with the Ministry of Agriculture, and Lao Liu does not want to keep the Ministry of Agriculture unable to see the money back.
It can also be summed up in the same small group, and the results must be given. In this way, we can truly do hello, I am good, and everyone is good.
For many people who have never worked, even if it is just a busy day, it also makes them have back pain. But this spirit is so good, I haven't participated in such a big scene for a long time. It can be said that for many people, this is the first time in their lives.
Including the construction workers who are building the castle and the hotel, they are amazed.
They can also be regarded as "aerial work", and they can see the scene in the vicinity very clearly. Whether these people go out to work or eat together, it is spectacular to see from above.
Some people just sent out pictures taken from a high place, and then it caused a sensation. Because in terms of Kenya, it is really the first time that such a proactive response to this locust plague has so many participants.
The sensation caused was not small, and some media reporters came over. Not only because of the big movement made by Lao Liu's side, but also because there are many animals involved.
And it's also a very positive report, if the whole country or these affected countries do this, will it be possible to reduce more damage?
Of course, as soon as such a report comes out, the big guy just follows and watches the excitement and finishes it. Because everybody knows that if you want to do it, you have to be willing to spend money.
Even if an average coffee farm wants to take care of every coffee tree, it will cost at least a few thousand dollars to pay for the materials and labor.
Liu Wenrui can spend so little money on such a large area here, because he has a lot of workers here, and this part of the expenses is not counted. If these are all counted, where will the little money in Chen Cheng's budget be enough. If you double it, you have to turn a corner, and it's good to be able to use it.
But even so, Liu Wenrui has become a model unit here. In the entire circle of agricultural production enterprises, only Liu Wenrui is doing this.
By the way, the branch in Tanzania also followed the fire for a small round. It's also being done over there, but not on the same scale as here.
It can be said that it is through this report that Liu Wenrui's company really shines in the circle of friends in Africa. In the past, people only focused on the self-produced coffee beans, but now people are focusing on this company.
It seems that before you know it, this small company has become a very powerful company, and what it can do is beyond the scope of many companies.
And what about Lao Liu, who has been talked about all day today? They had a happy dinner and warmly welcomed the visit of Comrade Raymond, the champion of this year's pour-over coffee competition.
Don't look at them as they just came here today, at most give them a night's rest, and tomorrow they must also join the front line of the fight against locusts.
"That's it this time, we can only do our best. You'll have to work harder and take away your vacation. Lao Liu said with a smile.
"Expected to be a five-day holiday, wasted a day in Melbourne. There was some delay on the plane, and I couldn't stay here for long. Zhou Xianhao said with a smile.
"But we can also help, we also live on these coffee beans. I signed three baristas on the spot, and when they arranged and got a work visa, they could go to our café. ”
"It's not a small move, and I can get three of them at once. Lao Liu said with a smile.
"I have to open a branch, the current plan is to open one, otherwise I can sign a few more. Zhou Xianhao said.
"But I also asked for the contact information of the baristas I liked, after all, it is difficult for many people to work in our country. ”
"Let's stock it up first, if we open a café abroad in the future, these people will be able to use it. The craftsmanship is really good, and these children in our café are so excited to see it. ”
Lao Liu nodded, "These people can also be called their goals, even if they can't get the top three, they can enter the semi-finals and finals, which is already a great skill." ”
"Third child, now that you have made so many preparations, there should be nothing wrong when the locusts come, right?" asked Sun Baofeng.
"At the time of the competition, people talked about the locust plague in Africa the most. We all know that the next harvest season or the whole year next year will affect the quality of the coffee beans. ”
"It's hard to say. Although we have also made preparations, how effective can we be? Anyway, looking at the current route of the locusts, I am saying that I can't hide from anything. Liu Wenrui said with a wry smile.
"Now I'm hoping they go slower and give me more time to prepare. That is, the boss is back, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of such an arrangement. ”
"Haha, you just want to eat Yoda chicken, and then raise hundreds of thousands on the farm. Sun Baofeng said with a smile.
"Don't say it, the taste of the chicken is good. The next time you come over, they'll be able to grow up and eat. Liu Wenrui said.
"These are the equivalent of what Crane gave you?" Zhou Xianhao asked with a smile.
Lao Liu nodded, "Sort of, we only gave some hard-earned money." Now that the actual number of chickens on my farm has exceeded one million, it is unclear how much I can save. ”
"I can't really take care of them, and they're running around. Sometimes they are scared when they see Simba, and then they will trample their companions to death. ”
"It's already pretty good. Isn't it often reported that chickens have a very strong stress response, and sometimes they die in a shed. Sun Baofeng said.
"Miao Miao will be busy in the future, so many chickens, how many eggs have to be laid, and the little guy can't pick them up with a basket." I have to tire her out. ”
"Tired of her? How can it be, the little one is smart. Chen Cheng said with a smile.
"So many animals came to help today, and it was the little guy who took the initiative. Those animals are also really obedient, which saves a lot of labor. ”
"I used to underestimate these animals, but with them, their work efficiency has improved a lot. Although we humans are more dexterous, we also take a lot of time. ”
"We're going to have to hold out for a few more days to get all the preparations done. Money, I can't help but spend it, and now the price of that shade cloth has risen a lot. Liu Wenrui said with emotion.
"After all, some people still think they can save it, and not everyone is so lazy. Chen Cheng said with a smile.
"But we have enough reserves on the farm. In fact, at first, I just thought about building a shed for these chickens, and then I thought of using it like this. ”
"If you want to say thank you, you have to thank Crane. Who would have thought of buying so many shade cloths without him bringing him so many chickens? ”
Hearing Chen Cheng's words, the big guys were all happy. That's not bad, Crane is really a good person.
