588 It is not easy to fight locusts

"Why are you so sad? How many coffee berries have been confiscated?"

When they returned home, Chen Cheng asked curiously.

"Boss, I saw a handful of locusts crossing the border today. It's an exaggeration to say that there is no grass, but there is still something left behind. Liu Wenrui said with a wry smile.

"Are you looking at the locusts, are you still far from us?" Chen Cheng asked a little anxiously.

"Look, it's a long way off. But because it was so shocking, we forgot to take pictures with our phones at the time. Anyway, I feel like that, and I get goosebumps all over my body. Liu Wenrui grinned.

"Then how many days do you think it will take?" Chen Cheng frowned.

Lao Liu shook his head, "There is too much room for flexibility. From a week to a month, this is possible. And we only saw one group, and there were more than a dozen groups behind us. ”

"If these locusts come together and push forward together, I'm afraid it won't take a week. During this time, I didn't go out, so I was actively preparing for the competition at home. ”

"We have abundant water and grass here, and I am worried that the locusts will come and plan to stay for a long time, just like other animals. We can't play with them like that, we can't hold it. ”

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes, it's all at this time, are you still in the mood to joke?

"By the way, the old chief must be very happy to see so many chickens sent to them, right?" asked Lao Liu with a smile.

"I'm very happy, and I'm free-range now, but I don't know if I'll get lost in the future. Now the chickens on the farm are running around, there are too many. The old chief also asked me to bring you a message so that you don't have to worry. Chen Cheng nodded.

"Could it be that the old chief has a way?" Liu Wenrui suddenly came to his senses.

Chen Cheng glanced at him, "The old man said, you are a person who is favored by the gods, it doesn't matter." ”

This time it was Lao Liu's turn to roll his eyes, it was too confusing. Even those locusts have a headache when they look at the real gods of Xiao Miaomiao, let alone their own impostors.

looked at his baby girl again, and was already very happy with Simba Rou. Simba, who is so strong, is now like touching porcelain, and the little guy will fall down when he touches it.

Originally, the next regular procedure should have been a simple wash, and then gnawing on the pig's trotters. It's just that after seeing Miao Miao playing with Simba, Lao Liu also went directly to the battlefield.

The object of his attack is to snort, watching the excitement on the side, and there is some small expectation. It must not be let down, it must be brought down as well.

It's such an indecent person, do you think Miao Miao is possible if she is not naughty? You have to put it in the second priority to eat, and you have to have fun playing.

When they had fun, the father and daughter were covered in dust and blades of grass. For Wang Shasha's sweeping eyes, she was very weak and didn't see it.

"You said that Miao Miao likes to toss because she is still a child. What are you still doing with the fun?" Wang Shasha counted.

"Who isn't a baby yet. Lao Liu muttered.

didn't dare to stay, hugged Miao Miao and ran into the house. You have to wash up and eat. Sauce bones, sauce pig's trotters and chicken feet, this is also what I miss.

After playing with Simba at home, Xiao Miaomiao forgot about the locusts. Holding the pig's trotters in his right hand and the chicken paws in his left hand, he ate it so deliciously.

"Look at you, it's as if they have just come back from the escape, and they will be able to fly here tomorrow afternoon. Chen Cheng said with a smile.

"When the time comes, let these people have a good feel for the process of picking and processing coffee berries, and give them a small reward to play here for a few days. Liu Wenrui said.

"We've won the championship again this time, won't other baristas care about our coffee beans?

"Not yet. However, it is also because our coffee beans are sold more, and in this year's barista competition, a total of five contestants used our coffee beans. Chen Cheng said.

"But only Raymond made it to the final and won the championship. The rest of the people only reached the semi-finals, and their skills were still worse. ”

"Hey...... It takes a lot of processes for coffee beans to be brewed into coffee at the end. There is no big difference between us drinking, but when it comes to the mouths of those professionals, the difference is even bigger. Lao Liu sighed.

"It's also that they don't understand our coffee beans enough, and when they use it more in the future, they will still be able to get a good result. Have you tasted our black tea?

Chen Cheng shook his head, "I won't taste it, I think it's okay to drink it." It's the same as I drink coffee, which is the difference between being able to drink monkey coffee. ”

"These professional things should be left to professional people. Anyway, Liu Gong has been busy these days, and he is worried about waiting for the locusts to come and eat the tea trees. ”

"I also purchased a batch of shade nets, which are the black ones. When the time comes, let's cover the tea trees and coffee trees in advance, not a lot. ”

Liu Wenrui nodded, "There will be a lot of people needed, and you can still recruit some temporary workers from those five tribes? ”

"It's fine, but if you think about it, we don't have that much corn. Chen Cheng said.

"What's the solution, we signed an agreement with them. If the locusts do come, and they don't have anything to eat or drink, we can't just watch. Lao Liu said with a wry smile.

"At least they can play some role now, it's better than eating and drinking for nothing. Later, you will have to pay attention to the movement of locusts, and it will take at least three days to cover such a large area. ”

"The crops in the field really can't be managed, so it's up to you to see if your chickens can really scare the locusts." ”

"Hehe, although it is much worse than locusts in terms of numbers, it must not lose in terms of momentum. Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Buy some protective clothing or something, and get some nets. We also have to join the front line of the fight against locusts and work together to reduce the losses. ”

"You have to find some brave people, otherwise the locusts will be really scary when they fly over. I really want to leave the second brother and the fourth brother behind, and let them catch grasshoppers with us. ”

"You tried to torture them, and they won't give you this chance. Wang Shasha said with a smile.

"By the way, there's one more thing. You also saw it when you bought coffee berries? Because of the weather this year, the harvest has entered early. But the harvesting time of these coffee berries will be much longer, and it will take at least another ten days or so for us to harvest them all here on the farm. Chen Cheng continued.

"Thanks to these monkeys, the ones who go up and down the trees are very quick. Otherwise, picking a little bit of coffee berries from a tree, the worker's time would be wasted on carrying ladders. ”

"The whole environment is pretty much the same. It's the same in Tanzania, and Masika is worried. Liu Wenrui nodded and took a big bite of meat.

"I remember this, and I have to give Masika a heads-up. We will also cover the newly planted coffee trees over there as much as possible, so that we can reduce the loss of points. ”

"Then you say that other farmers, can they do the same as us?" Wang Shasha asked curiously.

Lao Liu shook his head, "It's one thing to know, it's another thing to do it or not." It is necessary to purchase materials and labor, and for many people, even if they have this mind, they may not be willing to spend this money. ”

"Just like field care, we all know that these crops should be tended well, but they are still so rough and grown. The bottom line that many people stick to in their hearts, no matter what kind of disaster they suffer, there will be people to help them when the time comes, and they are not afraid. ”

"Just this time, those chickens don't count, I'm afraid we will have to spend more than 100,000 dollars on purchasing materials and labor here, right?"

"No, I'm rushing for $300,000. And that's not even counting the food distribution after the locust plague, and it will definitely have to be sent to those five tribes at that time. ”

"If Sunshine doesn't do anything better, Kalai Town will have to take care of it. After all, we can't let people starve to death, and the right is to publicize our company. ”

Wang Shasha was stunned for a long time, then nodded.

In her opinion, the locust plague is so severe that if every household is well protected, at least those who plant coffee trees can reduce the damage as much as possible.

But she ignores this, because the people here are a little lazy and don't want to spend money. What if the locusts didn't go to their own coffee plantation?

It seems that it has become a habit for people here to suffer disasters, droughts, floods, insect plagues, and plagues...... It's just because this year's locust plague is more serious that it has attracted attention.

"Let's do as the locals do, what we can do now is to take care of our own territory as much as possible. Lao Liu said with a smile.

"Even if we want to take care of it, we can't take care of it, and the farmers who have signed contracts with us will have to depend on their fate for the next year's output. ”

"At least the damage of this locust plague is not particularly great, and like that kind of drought, people's lives are in question. Although this will also cause a food crisis, it is better to prepare in advance. ”

"I have to take a good rest today, and tomorrow I will join in the vigorous anti-locust cause. Regardless of others, let's take care of ourselves. ”

This sounds very hard, but in fact, it is also a little helpless. How is it possible to ignore others?

Just like what Chen Cheng said just now, the five tribes, the Kalai tribe, and the people in Kalai Town will also have to be taken care of when the time comes. Because the company is here, it has to have corresponding responsibilities. Otherwise, the good reputation established in the past two years will be in vain.

No one will understand how difficult you are, how capable you are, or what you used to do. You have done a hundred good deeds, and when you don't do it well one hundred and one times, someone will say that you have changed your mind.
