Chapter 844: Harvesting Pyrophilia Impatiens
A month before the opening of No. 90 East Street, in Yulin Village, Qinchuan Province, Li Qin ran outside the village in the field of fireworks and impatiens that could not be seen at a glance, commanding the villagers to collect the fruits of the fireworks and impatiens flowers.
The fireworks impatiens field in Yulin Village began more than a month ago, with beautiful flowers withering, green leaves withering and yellow, and plump fruits hanging on the branches.
The head of Yulin Village, Aunt Li Qin, who was called "Drinking Aunt" by the villagers, immediately called Lin Zeng and asked how to deal with it after discovering the fruit of the fireworks and impatiens.
With the exception of a few pyrotechnic impatiens, most of the pyrotechnic impatiens are annual. Lin Zeng directly asked the old lady to organize the villagers to pick the seeds of the pyrophila impatiens.
This work is not hard for the villagers of Yulin Village, who have been farming all year round. However, because of the large range of flower fields outside the village, they only rely on the old and weak living in the village, and there is a serious shortage of manpower.
The village chief Li Qin, the old aunt of wine, discussed with Lin Zeng, visited every household in the village, and asked them to recall some young people who were working outside.
Although Lin Zeng rarely went to Yulin Village, Boss Lin's prestige was not low among the villagers at all. The reason for this is that Lin Zeng hired them to engage in the cultivation of pyrotechnic impatiens, giving these people in Yulin Village, who can only survive on this thin field, a stable income. Lin once hired villagers from Yulin Village to manage the flower fields of the pyregnis impatiens, and the salary was calculated according to the level of a coastal city.
Since the beginning of planting fireworks impatiens, Yulin Village, a barren mountain village in the northwest desert, has become rich in the hands of every villager. A salary of more than 2,000 yuan a month can only be regarded as a basic guarantee in coastal cities, but in Yulin Village, a small village in the northwest where the consumption level is very low, it is enough to make the villagers who get it happy and full of gratitude.
Adults and young people can only earn a little money when they go to the county seat to work, and these fifty or sixty-year-old bones, who stay at home every day and take care of plants easily, can even have the same income.
Especially in the recent harvest season of pyrophilia seeds, Lin Zeng's salary is even higher than 50%, even some old people in the village who are sixty or seventy years old, with neat hands and feet, can receive a salary of 3,000 yuan this month.
As for a young man like Li Qin, if you work hard, according to the daily salary, it is appropriate to earn seven or eight thousand yuan this harvest season, which is enough to pay for your children's college tuition and living expenses for a year.
It is also for this reason that Boss Lin, who planted pyrophilia impatiens, is a figure praised by everyone in Yulin Village. A few months ago, during the flowering period of the pyrophila impatiens, in the face of the spectators who destroyed the flower fields, the villagers of Yulin Village would fiercely protect the flower fields from being destroyed as if they were guarding their own lives.
They were afraid in their hearts, afraid that such a kind and generous boss would be scared away, and their Yulin Village would return to the old way of being poor and white.
It was difficult to go out to work, and more than half of the young people were called back to the village.
The season of harvesting the fruits of the impatiens is a rare time when the village is full of life and bustle, except for the Chinese New Year.
In Qinghe City just in December, most people still only wear a thin coat or a long-sleeved sweatshirt, but Yulin Village, located in the northwest desert, has already had a howling north wind, cold and biting, everyone has put on a big jacket, wrapped tightly, in the fireworks impatiens field, in full swing picking the fruits that grow on each impatiens.
The villagers who are used to being diligent and thrifty don't want to waste every fruit.
You know, their income, but by weight, if they can have one more fruit, they can't waste it.
The fruit of the pyrannois impatiens is magnificent and bright red, slightly smaller than ordinary dried walnuts, and the texture is hard, so it is not difficult to pick. Each pyrophila impatiens can pick about forty or fifty fruits.
Lin Zeng told Li Qin about the precautions for picking, and Li Qin also strictly told the villagers who entered the planting field not to destroy any fireworks and impatiens. Although it looks like it has dried up and died, a small number of it will sprout new green shoots full of life the following spring.
The two-year-old fireworks impatiens are very precious and rare, and the three-year-old fireworks impatiens are even more rare. You don't know if the fireworks impatiens that you don't want to destroy will continue to grow the next year, or if you have a third year of life.
In the spring of next year, Li Qin will organize the villagers to transplant these two-year-old pyrophilas to another field for special management.
In short, the current working time in Yulin Village revolves around fireworks and impatiens.
This flower field has brought abundant food and clothing, wealth and joy to the people of Yulin Village.
When young people joined the ranks of harvesting the fruits of fireworks and impatiens, the harvest was much faster. Li Qin specially found someone to order a stiff plastic box to hold the fruits of the pyrotechnic impatiens.
Each plastic box, counting the quantity, five hundred fruits, no more, no less.
The rooms of the houses that Lin Zeng bought in Yulin Village were filled with such plastic boxes, except for one room for Lin Zeng to rest when he came to the village, the other rooms became warehouses for storing fireworks and impatiens fruits.
In the process of harvesting the fruit, it is impossible to make the slightest mistake without error.
The strangeness of the fruit of the fireworks impatiens will always be known to the people of Yulin Village, who are in contact with impatiens all day long.
The first person to discover that the fruit of the pyrotechnic impatiens can emit a charming light and shadow vocal effect was the grandson of the white beard.
The old man with the white beard was the first person to contact and entertain Lin Zeng when Lin Zeng came to the village, and now they are also responsible for helping Lin Zeng take care of the residence in Yulin Village. I don't know if this is the reason, he takes special care of the fireworks and impatiens planted outside the village, and completely protects them as if they were his own grain fields.
At the beginning of the harvest season, Bai Laobeard called back the sons and grandsons of the county helpers to participate in the harvesting work.
Lin Dongjun, the grandson of the white beard, is in his early twenties, with a strong body, tiger head, greater strength than the average peer, and a heroic personality, but he is impatient to sit and study, so as soon as he graduated from high school, he immediately followed his father's construction team to learn to work and make money.
Because of the strength, Lin Dongjun was responsible for carrying the plastic box full of pyrotechnic impatiens. The salary of this kind of manual work is high, and Lin Dongjun can earn at least 15,000 after this harvest season, which is equivalent to his income from working in the county construction team for half a year.
Thinking of this money, Lin Dongjun was a little distracted in his heart, moved the plastic box to the cart, and thought coldly of the girl introduced to him by Aunt Liu in the next village two weeks ago, with a white round face, sweet dimples when he smiled, black and shiny braids, and bright eyes like stars......
"Ouch!"
Thinking about it, Lin Dongjun forgot to pay attention to his feet, he didn't know what to trip, he fell a big heel, and the plastic box in his hand also smashed to the ground, and the fireworks and impatiens fruits in the plastic box fell and rolled out, and were squashed by Lin Dongjun, a big man.
