Chapter 243: Watering the Grapes
After staying in Xinxing Village for a while, Zhang Song returned to the city, and today the Qilin's body has not fully recovered, and Zhang Song did not stay to keep vigil.
It was already more than seven o'clock in the evening when they arrived in the city, and Zhang Song knew that Song Jia and the others had finished eating, so he didn't go back to disturb them, but found a restaurant and ate a bite of food casually.
By the time Zhang Song went home, Hou Bin had already returned, and he was still going out early and returning late, busy ordering wine-making equipment, wine-making materials, recruiting workers, and then conducting training.
Because before the construction of the sorghum distillery, there had been an agreement with Xinxing Village, and the workers recruited this time were all young people from Xinxing Village, all in their twenties and thirties, and most of them were people who used to work outside the village, and they only returned from various places after knowing the treatment of the sorghum distillery.
At the same time, Hou Bin dug up a few technicians who can make wine are also in place, and the workers recruited here in Xinxing Village are all trained by them, and when Zhang Song went to Xinxing Village, he also saw these technicians, all of whom were in their thirties and forties, and they were all attracted by Hou Bin's high salary.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Song sneaked into the Aoki Cave again, looked at the Qilin, today the Qilin has fully recovered, Zhang Song breathed a sigh of relief, he can let the Qilin water the grapes tomorrow night.
But now Zhang Song has no excuse to stay vigil in Xinxing Village, and if he makes up an excuse, not only Song Jia will suspect it, but even Li Peng will suspect it.
Zhang Song stood in the courtyard and thought for a while, and finally came up with a countermeasure, but this needs to be done tomorrow, Zhang Song came out of the Aoki Cave and went back to his room to sleep.
The next morning, Zhang Song and Hou Bin came to Xinxing Village together, today the fruit trees on Wuyu Mountain have been planted, Li Peng is also resting at home, Zhang Song brought Jiang Ying over. At Li Peng's house, he discussed with Jiang Ying the issue of the orchard on Wuyu Mountain.
There are now 5,000 acres of orchards on the entire Wuyu Mountain, and Jiang Ying can't take care of them himself, so he asked Zhang Song to hire more villagers to help.
After discussing for a while, the two decided to hire fifty villagers, with each villager responsible for an average of 100 acres of fruit trees. I bought some more machinery and equipment, so that I could take care of it, and the matter of hiring people was handed over to Li Peng.
Li Peng was also very happy that the Sorghum Distillery had only recruited 30 workers from Xinxing Village, and now Zhang Song had to recruit another 50 workers, and the wages were not low, 4,000 per person per month, which was about the same as the wages of the Sorghum Distillery.
Then Zhang Song and Jiang Ying discussed various rules and regulations, and talked about the evening. After eating at Li Peng's house, it was already dark at about seven o'clock, and Zhang Song asked Jiang Ying to go back.
Zhang Song said to Li Peng, saying that he wanted to go to Wuyu Mountain to have a look, and he drove to the foot of Wuyu Mountain, where he saw Li Heng who was keeping vigil.
Li Heng walked up to Zhang Song and said, "Mr. Zhang, you're here." ”
Although it is strange that Zhang Song has to come to the mountain so late. But Li Heng is very smart, and he knows these questions. Not for him to ask.
Zhang Song said: "I don't have anything to do, just come over and take a look, I'll go up the mountain and go around." ”
Li Heng hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, I'll accompany you." ”
"No, I'm just going to go around and I'll be back in a while." Zhang Song knew that Li Heng had good intentions. This black light is blinding, it would be bad if Zhang Song had an accident, but Zhang Song still shook his head and said.
He stayed so late in Xinxing Village today, and came to Wuyu Mountain again, just to release the Qilin. If Li Heng followed, Zhang Song would have no chance, and the things he did today would be in vain.
Zhang Song didn't give Li Heng a chance to speak, he walked quickly towards the mountain, Li Heng knew that Zhang Song didn't want him to follow, so he stopped following and turned around and went to another place to inspect.
Zhang Song came to Wuyu Mountain, and saw that there was no one behind him, and now that it was dark, he would not be seen, so he released the unicorn from the Qingmu Cave and explained some things to it, until the unicorn understood, Zhang Song touched its head and asked it to water the grapes, and then Zhang Song went down the mountain.
From going up the mountain to going down the mountain, Zhang Song took half an hour, and when he went down the mountain, Zhang Song met Li Heng again, and Li Heng was also relieved at this time, if Zhang Song didn't come back, he would go to the mountain to find him.
After chatting with Li Heng, Zhang Song drove home, and when he got home, it was almost nine o'clock, Hou Bin and his family had already gone back to the room to rest, and Song Jia was sitting in the living room waiting for Zhang Song.
Seeing Zhang Song coming back, Song Jia asked, "Why did you come back so late?" ”
Zhang Song apologized: "I discussed some things with Brother Li and Xiao Jiang, and now I am busy, I went back to my room to take a bath." ”
Zhang Song said these things to Song Jia, it was not a lie, he did stay at Li Peng's house until late, in addition to not saying anything about going to Wuyushan, Song Jia also knew that Zhang Song was very busy now, and he didn't ask too much.
After Zhang Song finished taking a bath, Song Jia also entered the house, lying on the bed and playing with his mobile phone, Zhang Song dried his hair, came to Song Jia's side, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”
Song Jia raised her head and said, "My mother is coming to see us tomorrow, will you go to Xinxing Village tomorrow?" ”
"When are you coming?" Zhang Song knew that Song Jia was asking him if he had time, and if he had time, he would go with Song Jia to pick up Song's mother tomorrow, but Zhang Song did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
Song Jia said: "I can arrive at ten o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
Zhang Song thought for a while before he said: "I still have some urgent matters tomorrow, I have to go to Xinxing Village again, I will go early and return early, and then go with you to pick up your mother, okay?" ”
Song Jia smiled and said, "No need, if you're busy, just go and get busy, I'll pick up my mother myself, you just need to be able to come back at noon." ”
"It's still Jiajia who is understanding, I will definitely come back early tomorrow and go with you to pick up your mother." Although Zhang Song is going to Xinxing Village tomorrow to send the Qilin back to Aoki Dongtian, it is also a big deal for the old mother-in-law to come, Zhang Song can't help but pick her up, otherwise even if the old mother-in-law has a good temper, she will be picky.
……
The next day, Zhang Song went to Xinxing Village with Hou Bin in the morning, he did not stay in the village, but went directly to Wuyu Mountain, at this time Li Heng and Song Zhongping had already handed over shifts, Li Heng did not tell Song Zhongping about yesterday's incident, Song Zhongping naturally did not know that Zhang Song had come last night, and he did not suspect anything, he thought that Zhang Song had come to see.
After chatting with Song Zhongping for a few words, Zhang Song went up the mountain, and he instructed the unicorn last night to find a place where no one was left after watering, so as not to be seen.
After a round in the vineyard on the mountain, Zhang Song found the Qilin in a remote place, and they were also waiting for Zhang Song's arrival, and after the Qilin saw Zhang Song, he rolled around him, obviously dissatisfied with why Zhang Song had not come over until now.
Zhang Song squatted down to appease the Qilin for a while, and scratched its chin again, Zhang Song knew that the Qilin liked to let him scratch his chin the most, sure enough, after scratching for a while, the Qilin was not angry, Zhang Song sent them into the Aoki Cave, he looked at his watch, and now it was almost nine o'clock, and he hurriedly went down the mountain.
