In the afternoon, Li He and the four of them went one by one to transport the lotus canopy back to the top of the mountain.

The four of them rushed directly to the kitchen and walked out of the kitchen again, refreshed, and the tiredness just now was swept away.

"Dao Chief, when is the meal going to begin?"

Stacked with lotus canopies, four people holding blades in their hands, skillfully peeling the lotus seeds, look like veterans. For those who grew up by the lake, it is indeed not difficult to peel lotus flowers. After a day's picking, the hearts of four hungry people were close to their backs.

Under the old peach tree, Zhang Daoran put down the Taoist scripture in his hand: "Twenty yuan per person for a meal......"

"Dao Chief, you don't care about food?"

Wang Bao raised his head and shouted: "People hire people to work, at least one meal a day." ”

"First of all, you are not hired by the poor road, you are just serving your sentence here in disguise. Poor Dao has no obligation to take care of your food, and when you are locked up in a cage, don't you also pay for your own food?"

Zhang Daoran stood up, looked at the sky, and walked towards the kitchen: "Twenty meals for one person, two meals a day, Poor Dao will give you a discount, thirty-five a day." Eat as much as you like. You can also go home and eat by yourself, but you must ensure that you give five catties of lotus seeds to the poor every day. ”

Li He and the four of them looked at each other, thinking for a while. Removing the fifty or sixty miles of waterway, it takes four hours to go back and forth, and the four of them need sixty or seventy yuan to eat on the shore, and five catties of lotus seeds may not be completed by then.

Thinking of cooperating with Zhang Daoran, if I don't make this master happy, the cooperation is likely to be unnegotiable.

The four of them were one hundred and forty yuan a day, and one thousand four hundred yuan for ten days, gritting their teeth, Li He responded: "Dao Chief, if we don't go back to eat, we will eat here, and the money will be given to you later." ”

Zhang Daoran did not respond and went directly into the kitchen.

After a while, there was a burst of food from the kitchen, and about half an hour, Zhang Daoran first carried a large pot of carp stewed noodles, entered the kitchen, and brought out a spicy carp again.

In an instant, the four of them forgot the work in their hands, and one by one they almost drooled. I don't know if it's because I'm hungry, but a few people feel that Zhang Daoran's food is better than the restaurant.

Zhang Daoran took out a pot of lotus seed porridge again and shouted, "...... to eat"

Li He and the four of them were like hungry wolves, they pounced directly on the stone table, picked up the chopsticks and ate nonsense.

Zhang Daoran left silently: "Fortunately, Poor Dao left food in the kitchen......"

This meal, Li He and Wang Bao, the four of them, feel that it is the best meal they have eaten in their lives. Standing up with a full gap, Li He instructed: "Zhang Ming, be responsible for cleaning the dishes and chopsticks......

Zhang Ming cried with a sad face and didn't dare to refute, Li He and the others saw Zhang Daoran walking out of the kitchen, and Li He immediately greeted him: "Dao Chief, I will discuss something for you......"

Glancing at Li He lightly, Zhang Daoran walked under the old peach tree, picked up the Taoist scriptures, and ignored Li He.

Li He squeezed out a smile on his face, licked his face and walked over: "Dao Chief, don't worry, the matter we want to discuss with you is a good thing, a big deal to make money!"

Zhang Daoran still did not answer, as if the Taoist scripture had a fatal attraction.

"Dao Chief, there are lotus flowers and lotus pods on three sides of Huxin Island, isn't it a pity that this large lotus pod is broken like this? I know a lotus seed seller in the county seat, and I thought, if we find some idle people in the nearby villages, pick all the lotus pods, and process them into lotus seeds, we can make a lot of money." ”

Speaking of making money, Li He's eyes lit up, and he didn't care whether Zhang Daoran heard it or not, and continued: "Even if the average is 20 square meters and two catties of lotus seeds, the lotus canopy on three sides of the island in the middle of the lake can produce more than 6,000 catties of lotus seeds. In terms of price, the market price of lotus seeds generally ranges from 25 yuan to 45 yuan, and if we convert it into 30 yuan a catty, these lotus seeds can be sold for 180,000 to 200,000 yuan! This is still the lowest estimate, if the harvest is more and the price is higher, it is very likely to be sold for 300,000 yuan. ”

"Dao Chief......" Li He was talking energetically, and suddenly found that Zhang Daoran's face was still calm, and he didn't know if he had listened to it, so he had to go directly to the topic and said: "Dao Chief, these lotus canopies are all yours, we are responsible for sales, transportation, and processing, how about we divide them fifty or fifty.....?"

"Why does Poor Dao cooperate with you?" Zhang Daoran put down the Taoist scripture: "Poor Dao can find a lot of helpers with a phone call, as for sales, Poor Dao himself has a doorway, why let you share the general profits?"

"Uh......"

Li He was choked, what Zhang Daoran said was very reasonable, Li He's face turned red: "Dao Chief, it's easy to find someone, it's not easy to manage, in terms of sales, the county seat is likely to not be able to swallow so many goods, and he still needs to run errands." The Taoist is a master of the world, so he can't talk about business. In this way, we don't split the account in five or five, divide the account in six or four, you six and we four... You just have to wait for the money, and our brother will take care of the rest......"

Zhang Daoran continued to pick up the Taoist scripture and did not respond.

Li Heyi gritted his teeth: "Thirty-seven accounts, we are three, we can't lower the Dao Chief, no matter how low we are, we will help you work in vain......"

"What do you think about workers' wages?"

Zhang Daoran said lightly, as Li He said, he is a Taoist priest, if he goes out to talk about business, it will not match his image. In addition, he is not a business material. Although he still has some losses and no motivation, how can Li He actively help himself?

Li He was overjoyed, knowing that the deal was completed, and said with a smile: "We are responsible for finding people, and one person will earn a hundred yuan a day......"

"This is not appropriate, it is indeed tempting to offer a price according to the day, but it is inevitable that some people will not be able to contribute. It is better to give the price according to the catty, whoever peels out more lotus seeds will earn more, so that the workers also have enthusiasm. ”

Li He's eyes lit up: "Dao Chief's method is good, they are all people by the lake, most of them have boats, and they can also peel lotus seeds." A person can peel at least 20 to 30 catties a day, or even more, five yuan a catty, which is 100 to 150 yuan......"

"These will be counted later, first take the lotus pods you picked, peel out the lotus seeds, and then talk. ”

Zhang Daoran stood up and went back to his room.

"Come on......" Li He's face was full of excitement, if the lotus seeds could really produce six or seven thousand catties, thirty yuan minus the workers' wages of one catty and five yuan, they could also divide more than 100,000 yuan!

"It's a ...... to get rich" Li He squatted in front of the lotus pile: "I'll contact Zhao Gang tomorrow, and the three of you will go in to publicize the recruitment and explain the matter, and the wages will be opened every day, and there will be no arrears." ”

Li He is still self-aware, they have a bad reputation, and no one will dare to come if they don't make this condition.
