Wujiayuzi is a mountain valley with an area of more than 300 acres, and the southernmost side is a cliff dozens of meters high, which is commonly known as the nose of the king of Hades by the locals. In the hinterland of Wujiayuzi, it is a depression of about 300 acres, and Wujiayuzi is located at the exit of the north, and the straight-line distance between the foothills on the east and west sides is only about 100 meters. After the reservoir is built, the 200 acres of mountainous land at the foot of the mountains on both sides will immediately have convenient conditions for the development of mountain forest orchards.

Wang Shaodong asked the people of the design institute to draw the maximum water storage level after the construction of the entire reservoir in the entire mountain valley, and then Wang Shaodong took Wu Laoer and Zhao Shihai to Yuzi, and then began to point tree pits on the foothills on both sides of Yuzi.

Because a reservoir is being built here, there is lime on the site.

Wang Shaodong carried a plastic bag of lime and walked in the middle of the foothills, and then Wu Lao Er and Zhao Shihai shoveled a shovel by themselves, Wu Lao Er went to the west, and Zhao Shihai walked to the east.

Although the foothills are not steep, they are also somewhat steep, high and low, and the soil is not thick in many places, so it takes some experience to choose the right place to grow large cherries. At the very least, you need to be familiar with the land.

Zhao Shihai has been eating in the mountains since he was a child, and he is familiar with all the surrounding mountains. And Wu Lao Er, who drives sheep up the mountain to herd sheep all day long, is also very familiar with Wujiayuzi.

The two foothills on both sides of Yuzi require 5,500 cherry trees, and if you don't make some preparations in advance, the saplings will not be planted in the ground in a week's time, and the survival rate of those saplings will become a problem.

Cherry seedlings are like willows, they are cuttings, and the survival rate of seedlings is more than 90 percent, and if the seedlings are alive, then they are basically alive when planted in the ground.

In the past, it was said that "cherries are delicious and difficult to plant", referring to traditional small cherries, and like the large Rabins cherries imported from abroad, the survival rate is still quite high, and the management is relatively easy.

The most important thing is that large cherries are expensive, and the yield is okay, so growing large cherries in 2003 is very promising.

Wang Shaodong took Wu Laoer and Zhao Shihai all the way up the foothills east of Wujiayuzi, and painted a cross with lime on the terraces suitable for planting large cherries on the foothills. In just over an hour, they had already drawn more than 1,500 tree pit locations.

At this time, Wang Fumin came to the foot of the mountain with about 20 laborers from the labor market. And each laborer carries a shovel.

"Dongzi, are these forks the place where the pit is dug?"

"Yes, Dad, all the places where the forks are drawn, dig tree pits that are 30 centimeters long, wide and high."

Wang Shaodong turned around and shouted at Wang Fumin at the foot of the mountain.

Then, Wang Shaodong, who was standing halfway up the mountain, saw his father directing his husband to start digging a pit.

Wang Shaodong asked his father to go to the labor market to find someone to dig a pit, and he paid a dime for digging a pit, and if he could dig 200 pits a day and harvest 20 yuan, these labor workers would be very satisfied.

In fact, this kind of tree pit with a length of 30 centimeters is not a problem for these people, you can get one in two or three minutes, and it is normal to dig 30 pits in an hour, and then dig 2 or 300 pits a day.

Twenty people went into battle together, and the entire foothills were lively.

The speed of the pits was about 1,500 per hour, and then Wang Shaodong deliberately looked at the speed of the people digging the pits under their feet, about 20 people, and after an hour, about 700 pits were dug, with an average of more than 30 pits per person an hour.

The gang had come at ten o'clock and started digging, and by twelve o'clock they had already dug more than 1,500 tree pits.

It was already time for dinner, Wang Shaodong found Wang Fumin and said, "Dad, let's invite this group of people to have a meal at noon." ”

Wang Fumin was stunned for a moment, then looked at his son and asked, "Why are we inviting them to dinner?" These people all bring their own food, and we will give the money. You didn't see them doing it so fast, I think everyone can make twenty or thirty dollars today. ”

In the afternoon, they can work for four or five hours, and at the rate of making three dollars per hour for thirty tree pits, they earn an average of seven yuan each in the morning, and then they can earn an average of sixteen or seven yuan each in the afternoon, so that they can earn more than 20 yuan a day.

"Dad, think about it, in the next step, our cherries need to be hired to pick, the fish in the reservoir need to be caught by hand, and the lotus roots planted in the reservoir also need to be dug by hired workers, and then we will inevitably deal with people in the labor market, and their group will come to our house for the first time to work, let's invite them to have a meal, and the next time we look for labor, it won't be troublesome."

"Yes, son, what you said makes a lot of sense. So, where are we going to treat them to a meal? ”

"I see that these people are also the people of our township, many of them are acquaintances, since we want to have a treat, don't be cold, I see that the Zhuanghu restaurant is quite close, over this hill, I will now go over to book two tables, you see that at half past twelve take them directly to eat."

Wang Shaodong looked up at Wu Lao Er and his brother-in-law, who were about to climb to the last terrace on the mountain, and planned to climb up and call the two of them to wait in the hotel.

"Okay, then you can go."

Seeing Wang Shaodong walk to the top of the mountain and take Wu Lao Er and Zhao Shihai away, Wang Fumin shouted at everyone: "Hey, brothers, let's work for another twenty minutes, and at half past twelve, let's all go to the Zhuanghu Hotel in Qingquanling, and I, Lao Wang, please go down to the restaurant to drink!" ”

The group of laborers was led by a man named Zhang Baifeng in Dazhai Village, in his thirties, with a scar on his forehead, which made people look very vicious.

When Zhang Baifeng heard that the boss who hired everyone to work today actually invited everyone to drink, he stared at Wang Fumin in surprise.

"Oh, Boss Wang, your boss is really righteous, I've been in the labor market for five or six years, and it's the first time I've seen you like this."

When the others saw what the laborers said, they also echoed it.

"Boss Wang, let's do a good job, don't cut corners."

"Brothers, let's not be unscrupulous in the afternoon, after drinking Boss Wang's wine, we have to work until dark."

"Boss Wang, what do you have to do in the future, give me a call to Baifeng, and we will come immediately."

Hearing everyone say this, Wang Fumin was also happy and happy.

Everyone worked for a while, and there was a lot of work for a while, and then they followed Wang Fumin to the Zhuanghu Hotel in Qingquanling.

The characteristics of the Zhuanghu restaurant are farmhouse dishes, big fish, big meat, big pots, large quantities, affordable and cheap.

The labor workers are all peasants, and there is absolutely no ambiguity in their hard work, and they are also unambiguous when they eat and drink, and they pour a pound and a half of wine into each person, and they work hard for a while in the afternoon, sweating, and there is nothing to do.

At noon, they drank the wine of the Wang family, and in the afternoon, this group of people did it very quickly. In one afternoon, the pits of large cherry saplings on the terraces at the eastern foot of the mountain were dug up, and more than 1,000 saplings were dug up at the western foothills.

In this way, they dug up a total of 6,600 saplings today, and each of them earned an average of more than 30 yuan, and then everyone went home in the afternoon.
