Chapter 123: The Guest (1)
Although Chen Yan wrapped all the cherries in the cherry orchard, he also had words in advance, he still had to eat them at home, and relatives and friends also had to give them, so in the end, he left fifty cherry trees in the middle, and all the others belonged to Chen Yan.
This is still Luo Tong and Chen Yan fought for a long time to leave these fifty trees, or Chen Yan would have to pluck the goose, and all the ground would be round.
Since the cherries began to ripen one after another, Chen Yan came to Qingshui Village every day to report for duty, and every time he settled the accounts with Luo Tong in person. He intended to receive the freshest cherries first-hand, so every time Chen Yan came with the truck, and then went with the truck.
Although it was only the first year of fruit, Luo Tong had not used his abilities to nourish these fruit tree saplings before. After a few days of picking, the average of these cherry trees is about fifty or sixty catties.
This is also because this is the first year of results, and the production is not yet high. By next year, it is estimated to double. Even if each tree only produces fifty or sixty catties, it is enough for Luo Tong to make a lot of money. According to 50 catties per tree and 16 yuan per catty, a tree is 800 yuan, and 350 cherry trees are 280,000.
Just by picking cherries, Luo Tong has recovered more than half of the cost of investing in the orchard. Not to mention that this is still the first year, and the coming year will only be more, no less. This is just the cherry, and there are fruits such as bayberry in the back, so it can be said that the orchard will produce all year round.
Luo Tong had left the address of Qingshui Village in Luo Tong before, and she originally thought that no one would come. Who knew that not long after she arrived at the orchard that day, Lao Chen came to look for her, saying that the other party was from a forum and came here to find a cherry orchard.
As soon as Lao Chen heard about the cherry orchard, he thought of Luo Tong, so he simply came to the orchard to find her. He knew that since he started picking cherries, Luo Tong came early every day, after all, the cherries picked in the morning were fresher and tasted better.
Luo Tong followed Lao Chen to the village committee office, there were about a dozen private cars parked in the open space in front of the village committee office, and when he saw Luo Tong coming, a middle-aged man in his forties led by him took the lead in getting up.
Luo Tong was puzzled, and the middle-aged man smiled: "You are Green Gardening, right? I am Qiu Xin, the moderator of the forum." I saw the photos of the cherry orchard you shared on the forum before, and I really want to see it on the spot, I don't know if it's convenient for you?"
In this way, Luo Tong understands that others are coming to her cherries for a long time, and maybe others will also regard her cherry orchard as the kind of orchard where people can pick freely. However, the visitor is a guest, and there is nothing inconvenient about it, so Luo Tong readily agreed.
Qiu Xin is the moderator of the forum, and his real name is Zhang Haotian. He usually likes to go to some farmhouses or something to play, and the beautiful name is close to nature. Seeing the pictures shared by Luo Tong this time, he naturally couldn't sit still, and organized more than a dozen like-minded friends to come over to explore the way.
Seeing that Luo Tong agreed simply, several of them were also happy. A group of about a dozen people stopped driving, and all walked to the orchard at the end of the village. They usually go to the countryside a lot, but they still feel a little surprised when they come to Qingshui Village, because the environment here is very good?
To say that this Qingshui Village is not convenient except for the transportation, there is really nothing bad about it. The air is fresh, the scenery is beautiful, and the neighborhood is harmonious, anyway, Luo Tong has been in Qingshui Village for so long, and he has hardly encountered anything bad.
A few people talked and laughed, and several people in the same company kept taking pictures with their cameras. Luo Tong listened to Zhang Haotian talk about some of the things he saw outside along the way, although she didn't like to talk much, but she liked to listen to others. Zhang Haotian saw that Luo Tong was interested in listening, and what he said was even more energetic.
The group talked and laughed, and as soon as they arrived at the gate of the orchard, a big orange cat came out of it and went straight to Luotong. Luo Xiaocheng has been like a fish in water recently, and like Da Qing, he also likes to eat cherries.
What it likes most is to find a cherry tree, lie on it comfortably, and eat a full meal every time before coming down, and at the same time from time to time use its paws to pat a few big green trees that stretch their necks under the tree, and a cat and a rooster get along quite harmoniously.
When Luo Tong went to the village committee just now, he talked to Luo Xiaocheng. Luo Xiaocheng was too lazy to walk so much, so he simply waited for Luo Tong to come over in the orchard, anyway, he knew that the shovel officer would come to the orchard every day, so it was not as tight as Luo Tong was at the beginning.
Seeing that the big orange cat went straight to Luo Tong, Zhang Haotian exclaimed: "Be careful!" and wanted to reach out to stop Luo Xiaotang. Luo Xiaocheng briskly crossed Zhang Haotian and jumped directly onto Luo Tong's shoulder.
Luo Tong took it off his shoulders with both hands and touched its round belly: "Luo Xiaotang, you eat so much again! Don't be afraid of diarrhea!" Luo Xiaocheng looked back with an ignorant look, Luo Tong had no resistance to its eyes, so he could only give up.
It happened very quickly, from Zhang Haotian reaching out to Luo Tong catching the cat, it was just a few seconds. Seeing that the orange cat was quite obedient in Luo Tong's arms, everyone was relieved. Everyone who relaxed was all trying to come up, looking at this big orange cat, you said a word to me.
A woman dressed as a white-collar worker reached out and touched Luo Xiaotang's ears, her eyes lit up. "It's an orange cat, isn't it? It's so cute!"
A few people in the same group reported that they were so cute, are you blind Luo Xiaocheng seemed to understand her words and rubbed her hand a few times. She was so happy that she touched Luo Xiaotang's fleshy paws and pinched it for a long time, calling it cute.
Luo Tong also admires her, Luo Xiaocheng is so fat, how can she see that she is cute? But she has raised Luo Xiaocheng for a long time, so she naturally sees that Luo Xiaocheng is good anywhere, this may mean that her own children are always the best?
A few people were introduced to the cherry orchard, and everyone felt that their eyes were not enough. At first, they all thought that Luo Tong's photo was posed, and the real cherry was definitely not so big, but after really seeing it in person, they realized that they were really wrong.
Chen Yan had been guarding the cherry orchard, and when he saw Luo Tong coming over with more than a dozen people, he hurriedly came over to ask about the situation, and only after learning that others had come to play, he was relieved. He was worried that Luo Tong would find another fruit wholesaler to come over at that time, and he would be tragic at that time.
At the beginning, when she said that she wanted to sign a contract with Luo Tong, Luo Tong didn't agree to anything. The cherry is hers, if you want to buy it, just come and buy it, what does it mean to sign a contract, can't you trust her?
Chen Yan had nothing to do with her, so he could only come over and stare at her every day, for fear that something would go wrong here. A few people here entered the cherry orchard and there was another burst of hard beating, and some people had disappeared to pick cherries from the trees to eat. Luo Tong looked at this scene, and didn't stop it, just a few cherries, no big deal, and let others think they were stingy.
