Chapter 24: Bees
When he woke up in the afternoon, Zhou Yu's mind was still a little dazed - he didn't know how much wine he drank at night, although it was beer. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but I drank too much beer, and it was no different from liquor.
If you want to say that you drink too much, it's a few weeks of Yu.
Last night, when I got to the back, most of the people on the farm arrived, and Zhou Yu's brain was hot, and he announced the dividend in public.
It was like adding fuel to the fire, which further stimulated the warm atmosphere of the party.
Adults and children, men and women, came up with big cups and clinked glasses to toast. Zhou Yu did not refuse.
If you really want to count it, Zhou Yu drank wine alone, at least twenty people!
It's literally turned into a wine barrel!
It's a shame that his body is not human, otherwise I am afraid that he will not be able to get up today.
Getting up from the bed, Zhou Yu opened the curtains, only to see that it was already sunny outside! The wind is gone, the rain is gone, and only a clean world has been cleansed by nature.
I wiped my face, washed up, changed my clothes, and went downstairs to see no one.
When I walked out of the villa, I saw that in addition to the cement road, the other ground was still very wet. In the lawn in front of the door, there are still many leaves and miscellaneous branches, which looks like a mess.
Zhou Yu turned around and entered the house, took the tools, and began to tidy up.
It took more than half an hour to clean up the area around the villa and push away three trucks of garbage with a small cart!
After finishing the hygiene, Zhou Yu officially went out.
Walking around the farm, I saw workers cleaning up the garbage from the orchard, or straightening some sloping fruit trees and putting them on the shelves. Most of the garbage is leaves and branches, and some fruits that have been blown off by the wind.
In the accommodation area, the families of the workers, like Zhou Yu before, are also tidying up.
It looks like it's busy.
"Boss."
Lin Quan held an Epaid in his hand - he had always used a notebook before, but now, he could be regarded as following the rhythm of society, anytime, anywhere, with a tablet in his hand.
"What to do?" Zhou Yu stepped forward.
"Count the losses." Lin Quan said: "I just came from the pineapple forest and banana forest. ”
"How's it going?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but cheer up.
"Not too good, but not too bad either." Lin Quan handed the tablet to Zhou Yu and said, "The banana forest has suffered the biggest loss, and the forest near the sea has been blown down by the strong wind, and hundreds of banana trees have been blown over. There are also twenty or thirty other scattered ones that have been blown away. The pineapple grove was in a better situation, but there were fifty or sixty trees that were damaged. ”
"In addition to the mature plants, many of the fruits that are about to ripen have also been scraped off. In this regard, bananas and pineapples suffered minimal losses. The snake fruit has suffered the greatest loss, and it is estimated that at least one hundred and twenty or thirty tons have been lost! As for the red grapes, more than thirty pergolas were blown down by the wind. ”
"Oh..."Zhou Yu nodded slightly: "Bananas and pineapples are indeed difficult to be blown off the trees by the wind... The stalk should be much firmer and thicker. So, how much did you lose in detail, and did you measure it with a knife? ”
He clicked on the tablet, and the result was already on the back page - 300,000 US dollars.
"Only 300,000 US dollars in losses?" Zhou Yu smiled: "It's not much." ”
"That's right, the boss is a rich man." Lin Quan laughed.
At this moment, Li Jing came over.
As a lawyer, he may be a calm personality by nature, and Li Jing did not participate in the party last night.
She was still dressed like that - glasses, a small suit, low heels.
"Boss, Manager Lin."
Li Jing came up to say hello and said, "Have you counted the losses?" If the statistics are out, report them as soon as possible. ”
"Escalate?" Zhou Yu was stunned: "What to report?" ”
"Escalate to the Department of Agriculture." Li Jing put on her glasses: "For the losses caused by natural disasters, the state will give corresponding compensation and tax discounts." ”
"Is this tax-exempt too?" Zhou Yu was surprised.
"Of course." Li Jing nodded affirmatively, but said, "Boss, I don't think you have insured the farm, right?" ”
"Insured?" Zhou Yu was even more dazed.
"Of course, in the United States, whatever you want, as long as you feel it's valuable, you can get insurance." Li Jing said: "Those celebrities even took their faces, eyes, legs, and ears to insure. Why can't farms. If you have been insured, then you can also find an insurance company to compensate. ”
"Uh..."Zhou Yu opened his mouth.
Then he stuffed the tablet directly to Li Jing, hid his face and walked away - in front of Li Jing, he felt that he seemed to be too ignorant!
...
On the same day, Li Jing reported the loss of the farm to the agricultural department of Santa Maria, and the next day, personnel from the agricultural department came down to verify the situation.
It's impossible for you to report it and people will admit it.
If the lion opens his mouth and reports 1.8 billion, will the Ministry of Agriculture also give exemption and reimbursement? Of course not.
Therefore, it is inevitable to verify this procedure.
Of course, the loss of 300,000 US dollars that Zhou Yu was originally going to report was real, and it was slightly discounted. reported 350,000 yuan, but no one could say anything - so Li Jing directly reported 350,000 yuan.
Of course, although the 350,000 Zhou Yu doesn't care, but he can save a little, although he makes money, he doesn't feel distressed about spending money, but after all, he has to use it in a useful place.
After the storm, it was a sunny day.
Immediately after that, the farm's ordinary fruits also quickly entered the ripening and picking period.
Although these fruits are worthless, and even a temporary worker will pay a lot of wages to pick them, after all, they must not be allowed to rot in the ground.
These ordinary fruits were also packaged and sold to St. Mary's.
Although St. Mary's Company is now relying on Zhou Yu's high-grade fruits, it has gradually opened up a new high-end market. But the quantity of that kind of high-end fruit is really small, and the market is not big because of the limited supply. The business of ordinary fruits, they are still doing it, and with the wind of high-end fruits, they are getting bigger and bigger.
Therefore, those who come do not refuse.
In the autumn, all the fruits were picked, and the profit was only more than 5 million US dollars. Coupled with the first 370 million and the second 40 million, it is just over 420 million.
After that, the orchard enters the winter break. The work in the orchard shifted to the replacement and maintenance of various facilities, the replanting of plants, pruning, fertilizing, etc.
...
After that storm, Zhou Yu didn't call Wang Xiaoyi until a week later.
It's been almost ten days since they last got in touch.
This time on the phone, the two of them suddenly seemed to have nothing to say. After a few hurried conversations, he hung up.
Zhou Yu only felt a little sad.
He already knew clearly that his first love, the woman he thought he could spend his life with, was getting farther and farther away from him.
I can't say what I feel specifically, it's just very uncomfortable, it's very uncomfortable.
Recalling the relationship with Wang Xiaoyi, it officially started when I graduated from high school last year. So far, it's only a little over a year.
Between the two, there are few times when you and I snuggle up to each other. Because Wang Xiaoyi was going to Beijing to study, the two could only contact their relationship by phone.
I thought there was nothing wrong with that.
But now that Zhou Yu thinks about it, it is a mistake in itself.
Telephone contact, what's the point? If you don't get together often and can't experience each other's life with your other half, you will gradually lose your understanding of your other half.
Then it will gradually become strange and produce a rift - if Zhou Yu said, distance is the biggest tumor of love.
He often sighed, and rarely even went to Krestina's.
Although this woman is beautiful and not a few years older than herself, Zhou Yu has not been able to have a deeper affection for her.
Coupled with the damage that Wang Xiaoyi brought him, he seemed a little depressed for a long time.
And Wang Xiaohu, one day, even told Zhou Yu that he wanted to move out. was scolded by Zhou Yu, so he was a little calmer.
Even if he is really stranger to Wang Xiaoyi in the end, it is not Wang Xiaohu's business.
It was between the two of them, and it had nothing to do with others, even Wang Xiaoyi's younger brother.
And Wang Xiaohu was called by him, and he must fulfill his previous promise and be responsible to the end.
In fact, Wang Xiaohu also didn't understand his sister very much.
He wondered if there was something wrong with this person's thinking. It's a good day, but he has to make trouble and make him unhappy.
Every time I talk to my parents on the phone, I can't hear my parents' tangled sighs.
He recognized Zhou Yu's brother-in-law from the bottom of his heart - although, maybe now it has become a joke.
...
The scope of influence of the jade seal has been fixed at two hundred and eighty acres and has not moved, but during this period of time, Zhou Yu has not been able to get other benefits.
After grabbing the two Bodhi snakes from the jade seal that time, in the following months, Zhou Yu would be urged by the ball on that day every month to get a chance to grab something from the jade seal.
Unfortunately, it wasn't until December, on Christmas Eve, that he could catch only one useful thing.
Swarm.
Yes, a very special nest of bees.
Milky white, the same color as jade. And it's much larger than a normal bee.
The vague information given by the jade seal indicates that the name of this bee is Nuan Yu. Warm jade bees.
This kind of warm jade bee, like the Bodhi snake, has a special effect - the honey they produce has the ability to nourish yin and nourish the skin and resist aging!
Zhou Yu was overjoyed, and even the low mood brought to him by Wang Xiaoyi was much better all of a sudden, and even gradually dissipated.
Then he hurriedly made a beehive and placed this nest of warm jade bees under the eaves of the villa.
Although it is also difficult to explain the origin of this warm jade bee, it is always more acceptable than the Bodhi snake, but it is suddenly encountered when I was hunting in the mountains to the north.
Zhou Yu became obsessed with hunting during this time.
He asked Li Jing to help him get a gun license, and then went to the gun shop in the town and bought a lot of guns, of course, all of them were long guns. Short guns, such as pistols and revolvers, are not allowed to be possessed by ordinary people.
Zhou Yu estimated that maybe the short gun could be hidden on his body, and he could take it out to commit a crime at any time, which made it impossible to prevent it. Spears, on the other hand, are not. It can't be hidden in the pocket, if you hold it in your hand, others can see it at a glance, and you will lose the effect of being unguardable, making the crime more likely to fail.
If you have a gun, you naturally have to play with it. Shooting only in the shooting range of the gun shop is not enjoyable at all. Fortunately, to the north of the farm, there is a mountain forest.
On the American side, it's not the same as Great Xia. The wild animals over there in Great Xia are almost extinct. But on the American side, there are many wild things in the wild.
It can even lead to disasters in some cases.
It's like in the mountains and forests north of the farm, there are even herds of wild boars and reindeer!
As soon as the food in the mountains is reduced, these animals will rush out and attack the surrounding population. It is the natural enemy of farms and pastures!
