The cream-colored golden retriever looks a little white, but it is better than the pure coat color.

Applying for a dog license, and also registering identity information, etc., it was already dark, Chen Mo bought some dog food by the way and picked up the little golden retriever.

The little guy is really as the shopkeeper said very smart, seems to know that he is leaving the pet store, the little guy looks at the other pets in the cage in the store, and seems to show a reluctant look......

Stephen also bought a dog, energetic husky.

Coming out of the store, Stephen's little erha kept calling. On the other hand, Chen Mo's golden retriever dog is quiet and quiet, and it is very comfortable and enjoyable to lie in Chen Mo's arms.

With the puppy, the two of them didn't go out to eat and went straight back to the house.

"Little Golden Retriever looks stupid ......" When he got home, Chen Mo pinched the Golden Retriever's ears and looked at the little Erha led by Stephen, full of energy.

"You may be afraid of life, and the golden retriever dog that is not an adult is the most lively and active, and you will be annoyed in the future. Stephen laughed and picked up the husky in the back seat.

"In our China, huskies have a title, demolition squad leader. When it grows up, I feel the need to live separately from you......"

The little golden retriever didn't need Chen Mo to hold it, as soon as it opened the door, it took the initiative to jump down, like a loyal guard, standing next to it and waiting silently.

After Chen Mo got out of the car, the little golden retriever followed behind, looking around with his little head and looking at the new environment.

……

This old house is spacious enough, but the sound insulation is too poor.

Stephen's husky screamed for most of the night, and the noise made Chen Mo depressed.

Told to get up early in the morning by Stephen, Chen Mo opened his squinting eyes: "What's the matter?"

"The tree farmer agent contacted by Elson has arrived, go over and take a look. Stephen yawned, and didn't seem to have slept well.

Downstairs, Xiao Erha, who called for most of the night, was sleeping. The little golden retriever crawled on the edge of the door of the living room, Chen Mo went over and opened the door, and the little guy ran out and soaked urine under the oak tree in the yard, and Chen Mo was stunned for a moment.

is such a smart dog, he has already been trained in a pet store, which also saves Chen Mo a lot of effort......

After peeing, the little golden retriever saw Chen Mo driving out, screaming with a milky voice, chasing the car.

Stephen picked it up with a smile and sat in the passenger seat: "The vine farmer broker I am looking for now is equivalent to your Chinese contractor, and Elson will take the idea of the salary later." ”

"Labor costs are expensive here?"

"A skilled vineyard worker earns around $19 to $27 an hour. But now that the farm is over, $17 should be enough to recruit people. ”

There were seven people who came, three white, three black, and one Asian.

Chen Mo and the others went over, and Elson was already talking to them.

Elson raised the wage to $24, the three whites and three blacks were still not satisfied, and the Asians watched and did not speak, but listened......

Chen Mo and the others didn't attract the attention of these people in the past, they just turned their heads to look......

"31 American knives, no one is missing. "A white man in a cowboy hat seemed to have the plan in his hands.

The others chimed in, and it seemed that they had agreed on it early in the morning......

The middle-aged Asian man looked at Chen Mo a few times and walked over: "Chinese?" The northeast accent Mandarin he spoke made Chen Mo feel cordial.

There are a lot of Chinese in the San Francisco Bay Area, but in this part of Napa, there are very few Chinese.

"You're from the Northeast?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Northeast HLJ. My name is Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng said and glanced at Stephen.

"Chen Mo. ”

"Is that the owner of the manor?" Zhang Feng whispered, his eyes long since he stopped looking at Stephen.

Chen Mo glanced at Stephen, this guy's height of 182, the aura of a barrister and the way he dressed, he really had a bit of a boss's style.

Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "You are the foreman of the contractor, how many people are under your hands?"

"What a contract foreman, it's just a mess to eat. Can you tell your boss that I can take over 200 acres of work for 23 yuan of ......wages here," Zhang Feng thought that the two foreign ghosts beside Chen Mo couldn't understand Chinese, and whispered.

Elson and several agents did not negotiate, their asking price was too high, and they refused to back down, as if they had settled on Elson.

Canyon Estate's 200 acres of vineyards had to be budded by the end of the month, requiring more than a hundred workers. Every extra $1 means that four or five thousand dollars more will be paid to complete the process of wiping buds......

Elson understands Mandarin, and naturally he also heard Zhang Feng's hourly wage of only $23......

"The hourly wage of 31 yuan is too high, sorry......" Elson directly began to chase people, and the few guys in front of him were simply lions' mouths.

By the end of April, the vineyard season is over, and there is plenty to say about the idle vine farmers in Napa Valley.

Watching the six tree farmer agents leave, Elson turned his head, glanced at Zhang Feng, and looked at Chen Mo: "These people discussed it early in the morning. It's the end of the farming season, and it stands to reason that there are a lot of tree farmers in the Napa Valley who are idle and ready to work elsewhere, maybe I'm not doing it the right way...... I'll take a look at the trailer housing park later. ”

Napa Valley has a large number of migrant workers during busy farming hours, as well as a large influx of migrant laborers, who often live in Yuning's trailer housing park, where rents are cheap.

"Don't worry, it's not like there's another person who can take over the whole vineyard. ”

"Okay. ”

Zhang Feng looked embarrassed, not only because Elson spoke fluent Mandarin, but also because he had defaulted on Chen as an ordinary worker here. If he had paid a little attention to the stone monument standing outside the gate when he came, he should have known that the owner of Canyon Manor was a Chinese......

"How much do you think you can get workers?"

“18。 Elson shrugged his shoulders: "I heard someone at the agency yesterday talking about the salary of temporary vineyard workers, who are only paid $17 an hour. ”

Chen Mo touched his chin, took out a cigarette and handed it to Zhang Feng, then to Elson and Stephen......

Zhang Feng smiled bitterly: "Okay, 17 yuan is no problem." ”

Stephen frowned, "How many people can you find?"

"I have a regular team of 43 people. As this gentleman said, the farming season in Napa Valley is over, and it couldn't be easier to recruit workers. ”

Stephen lit his cigarette and took a puff and nodded: "In this way, the vines on the estate need to finish budding and pruning by the end of the month, and there are seven days." How about packing 100,000 for you?"

"100,000?" Zhang Feng calculated in his heart, and after a while: "I'll go to the vineyard to have a look." ”

“OK。 ”

Hiring temporary workers is calculated according to the hourly wage, which is how much money is per day. But different people work at different speeds.

The 100,000 yuan was packed out, which saved Stephen worry and effort, and also saved money.

Zhang Feng walked into the vineyard and shook his head, the garden had not been tended for a long time, and the buds were pruned by the way, according to the speed of a skilled worker, it would take at least 3 to 4 days for an acre.

It was eventually packaged at $610 per acre, for a total of $122,000.

Stephen is the CEO of the estate and a barrister, and the contract is finalized in minutes.

After returning from breakfast, Zhang Feng came over with the first batch of people, and then returned to Napa Valley to continue recruiting.

More than 99 percent of Napa Valley's plantations are mechanical, and only some wineries and less than one percent of plantations use traditional methods.

But even with mechanical work, many tasks in the vineyard still have to be done manually, such as wiping buds, selecting buds, and tying branches.

Most of the people who came were Chinese, and Chen Mo went to the vineyard to see the quality of the work, and it was done very well. Behind Chen Mo, the little golden retriever who followed the same path suddenly barked......

"It's a rabbit. ”

After working in the vineyard for a long time, it is not strange to see rabbits in the vineyard, Elson ran quickly: "Boss, I have to get out, this is the warehouse key." ”

"Recruit regular employees who are experienced and know how to repair machines. Chen Mo took the key and admonished.

"Yes. ”

As soon as Elson's words fell, the Chinese tree farmer not far from Chen Mo raised his head: "Is this here to recruit long-term workers?"

"Are you interested in coming and working?"

"Who doesn't want to find a stable and regular job. ”

Hearing the conversation here, more than a dozen other tree farmers put down their work and walked over: "Is there food and accommodation here, and how much is the salary?"

"The basic monthly salary is 3,500 US dollars, before tax, accommodation is provided, and meals are not included......"

Stephen interjected: "Must go through a formal interview session, provided that you have at least 3 years of vineyard experience." If you are interested, you will have a table to see in the afternoon. ”
