"You don't plan to run this orchard?"

Gu Zhou looked at Tan Cheng seriously and asked.

"Well, it's not that I don't plan to, it's that I can't run it at all. Tan Cheng took two deep puffs of cigarette, twisted the cigarette butt on the ground, and knocked up a small mound of dirt with his toes.

"I've asked someone before, this land has no fertility and it is impossible to grow delicious oranges, and the fertilizer will not be able to make up for a while, but I can't bear the money for that land. Tan Cheng looked very worried.

"I can't try like this anymore, the girl at home is in high school, and she has a lot of hope for the university entrance examination, so she will go to the construction site to find a job in a few days and work for a few years to save her tuition. ”

"Then this orchard, you plan to take it out?"

"Wrap it up, how to wrap it?" Tan Cheng lit another cigarette, and it seemed that his heart was even more blocked when he talked about this topic. "This kind of land can no longer be contracted to the villagers to pit people. ”

Gu Zhou nodded with satisfaction, "How much money do you plan to outsource that package?"

"Uh......" Tan Cheng was stunned.

"Huzi ......" Gu Changping wanted to speak and stopped, Tan Cheng had a good relationship with him, and Gu Zhou really wanted to wrap him up, so he really didn't want to stir up yellow from the middle.

"You are Changping's nephew, I can't pit you, it's useless for you to cover this land, you can't do anything. Tan Cheng was honest, and he didn't feel that Gu Changping was not enough friends or anything, but took the initiative to say.

"I know. Gu Zhou gave the second uncle a reassuring look, looking at his appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, he knew that he also cared about himself, but he really couldn't say it clearly.

"Then you still want to pack?"

"Hmm. ”

"This ......" Tan Cheng looked at Gu Changping, and saw that he nodded helplessly, before looking at Gu Zhou again.

"Then I won't pit you, I would have to leave this land and let it be barren, since you want to pack, when I contract this land, I will pack 41 acres, and you can give 10,000 acres of 50 acres of land. ”

"Ten thousand. Gu Zhou thought about the deposit of more than 10,000 yuan in his card, this price was acceptable, and looked at Tan Cheng to confirm that he didn't say it casually, before he said, "In this way, I will take care of the orchard, and you and I will hire it, how about it?"

"Hire me, what for?" Not only did Gu Changping be stunned when he said this, but Tan Cheng also looked at Gu Zhou with a puzzled face.

"Grow oranges. Gu Zhou said lightly.

"It's useless, I've tried almost all the oranges......"

"I just want this orange. ”

"But this kind of orange can't be sold at all. Tan Cheng was even more puzzled.

"I can, you don't care. If you go to the construction site, it will be 3,000 yuan a month, and here, I will also give you 3,000 a month for the time being, because I don't have much money in my hand now, and I am a little nervous about using it, but I will definitely increase my salary in the future. ”

“……”

Hearing Gu Zhou's words, Tan Cheng hesitated a little.

Although Gu Zhou gave him the same salary as going out to work, one was to leave his hometown away from his wife and children, and the other was to be able to warm his wife and children every day at the door of his home, and he had been familiar with the cultivation of oranges for so many years, so he was definitely not so tired to do it, and of course he was willing to stay.

It's just that he couldn't understand how this young man, who was a generation younger than himself, obviously didn't look like a wealthy family, could he open his mouth and hire himself? Is it reliable to follow him to grow this kind of orange? How could he be so sure that he would raise his salary in the future, in case he lost it......

Tan Cheng felt that he couldn't make up his mind for a while, frowning tightly, and didn't even notice that the cigarette in his hand was about to burn out.

"On the first day of business, my fruit shop made a net profit of 7,000 yuan. Gu Zhou himself studied business administration, and looking at Tan Cheng's expression, he probably guessed his thoughts, so he knew that he needed to say something to prove his strength.

"Seven thousand!" Gu Changping and Tan Cheng both looked at Gu Zhou in disbelief. Although Gu Changping knew the price of Gu Zhou's fruits, and he also knew that there were many people who went to buy them, he felt that many people must rely on Gu Zhou's interpersonal relationships to get over for a long time, plus Gu Zhou had to take apples from himself at the market price, so at the end of the day, he would not make much more money than going to the market himself, but now at first glance, when he heard Gu Zhou personally say the amount of his profit, Gu Changping realized that he was wrong, and it was a big mistake.

This is not only more than the income of oneself, but also the income of half an orchard in a year! This is only one day's net profit!

"That's right, it's just apples, and when the oranges are on the shelves, I think there will be more. Gu Zhou added another dose of fierce medicine.

"This ......" Tan Cheng felt that his brain had been short-circuited.

His thoughts were completely stuck on the words "one day", "apple", and "seven thousand", and he couldn't figure out the connection.

And Gu Zhou didn't urge him, just quietly watched him frown, put the cigarette butt on his mouth, took a puff, and took another puff,

And the cigarette butt has long been extinguished.

At this moment, Tan Cheng was completely thinking about whether to follow Gu Zhou, and for him, agreeing to it meant that before Gu Zhou stopped, even if he lost money, he would continue to do it. He didn't want to doubt whether Gu Zhou's words were true, on the one hand, Gu Zhou was brought over by Gu Changping, and the neighboring village knew the roots.

On the other hand

Although it is said that the heart of harming others is indispensable and the heart of defending people is indispensable, but if a person does not harm people's hearts in the slightest, how can he know how to prevent people?

Tan Cheng himself is honest and honest, although he knows that there are many people who cheat people, but he will not consider that aspect at all when interacting with people, he is frank in his heart, he will not think of these things at all, let alone use this kind of mind to speculate on others, otherwise he will not be trapped by others to take this land.

was silent for a long time, and finally, Tan Cheng's hands trembled, and he realized that his cigarette had long been extinguished, and he couldn't help but blush.

"Boss Gu...... I promise. Tan Cheng seemed to have made a lot of determination, looked at Gu Zhou and said seriously.

"Hmm. Gu Zhou was not surprised by this result, he couldn't think of any reason for his rejection: "I'll come over again later to bring the contract." ”

"Besides, just call me Gu Zhou. ”

……

Since signing the orange orchard, Gu Zhou has been a lot idle in the next few days, Gu Zhou is still open for four hours every morning, and in the afternoon, he ponders the platter, carving and matching.

As he got to know more and more about it, the more familiar Gu Zhou became with Wooden Wahls's artistic inspiration, the more he felt that his previous knowledge was too narrow, and there was a big gap in his heart in comparison. Therefore, he began to gradually find some aesthetic and philosophical books at home and abroad to read, such as Kant and Nietzsche, who were read badly, such as the relatively unpopular aesthetic master Zhu Guangqian's "On Beauty and Books" and so on.

That afternoon, Gu Zhouzheng's reader Epicurus's "Pleasure is not a sin in itself, but what can bring a certain amount of pleasure will also leave many times more trouble than pleasure itself", the lion crouched beside him and stared at the ants on the ground, and coldly heard someone knocking on the door outside the fruit shop.

Thinking about the sign that he confirmed that he had closed down in the morning, Gu Zhou was a little puzzled:

"The people who buy the fruit know their opening hours, and the neighbors knock on the door of the orchard in the south and don't knock on the door of the fruit shop, who will it be?"

Curiously put down the book and walked over to take a look, Gu Zhou was stunned.

Bai Caichen?
