Chapter 489: Fragrant Tree
The clouds in the sky are like white clothes, and the beard is like a dog.
Under the sky, the vegetables of Nishinobayashi Farm are finally ripe.
Chen Shangwu gathered more than 20 people under his command before dawn and stood at the door of the office upright.
After these ten days of training, these capable old people, with solemn expressions and not squinting, have a little "iron-blooded" demeanor.
In fact, this is also thanks to the vegetables that are all over the mountains.
They are all people who have lived for decades, no one has ever seen a vegetable seedling grow so fast, it looked like a tender seedling yesterday, and it was more than a foot tall when I saw it the next day, and it was already blooming after two days.
Not only did no one apply fertilizer and water, but no one even spit spit, let alone any oxytocin, hormones, pesticides and the like.
With things that science can't explain for the time being, this generation likes to put on a layer of mystery.
Some people say that the master is the descendant of the Taoist priest of Maoshan, some people say that he can recite mantras, in short, a few people say that they are miraculous in private.
It is precisely because of a kind of awe that they held back and didn't talk about the things on the farm, and this effect may not even be expected by Wu Jun.
Wu Jun and Su Haoran also came to the farm early, and of course there were many people who came with them.
Niu Shoutong took Dahei, Qin Xiaoyu took Jasmine, Zou Hai, Fan Peng, and Wei Donghai heard about it, and they also rushed over from the provincial capital early in the morning.
Picking vegetables is hard work.
The seedlings of the peppers are about one meter high, and they are covered with slender peppers, and they have to be bent down and cut off one by one with scissors.
Of all the vegetables, peppers are picked at the slowest rate.
Wu Jun felt that if he wanted to build a farm next time, he must plant peppers, which are relatively difficult to pick vegetables, on spacious flat land, and lay cement ground in the gaps.
In this way, you can bring a small bench to sit and pick, and the box for loading vegetables can also be placed on the scooter, which is estimated to be much easier.
After he finished picking the ripe peppers on a pepper tree, he asked Su Haoran to weigh it, and it was one and a half catties.
There are more than 620 pepper trees in one acre, a total of 20 acres, that is to say, more than 18,000 catties of peppers can be harvested every day in the future.
Spread evenly on the heads of less than 30 people, each person has to pick more than 600 catties on average, and it takes a whole day to be nimble with hands and feet.
Although the other vegetables are easy to pick, they are more numerous, so even if you add thirty more people, I am afraid it will not be enough.
Chen Shangwu looked at the slow progress, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious, the first day was like a turtle crawling.
It seems that we have to find a way to improve efficiency a little.
"Wang Fugui!"
"Yes!"
"You are in a group with Li Cuihua," Chen Shangwu began to redistribute the manpower, "she is responsible for cutting, you are responsible for picking up!"
Wang Fugui and Li Cuihua looked at each other in confusion at the same time: "Field director, aren't you talking nonsense?"
Chen Shangwu frowned: "The scissors I said are the scissors of scissors, his picking is picking up things, you cut him and picking him up, I said it so clearly, don't you understand?"
"I don't understand!"
Chen Shangwu: ......
After changing to the division of labor between the two, the efficiency has indeed improved a lot, and they soon surpassed Wu Jun and their group.
"Old Chen," Wu Jun called Chen Shangwu, who was sweating profusely, over, "We discussed it just now, and we will set the unit price for you first." ”
"Good. ”
Chen Shangwu rubbed his hands, everyone had already heard that it was going to be counted, and they were all waiting for it.
Only when you have money can you be motivated, and the more money you have, the more motivation you have, even if you are an old man and an old lady.
"Look at the thirty of you, it's almost enough to finish picking these chili peppers today," Wu Jun said, "I calculated, on average, each person has to pick more than 1,300 catties, and I will give you a piecework wage of 2 cents per catty, 1 cent for other vegetables that are easy to pick, and 5 cents a pound for fish, what do you think?"
Chen Shangwu quickly calculated the account in his heart.
It is more than 130 a day, and it is 3,34 for 26 days a month, plus the basic salary is more than 5,000 yuan.
And he also looked at it just now, as long as the division of labor and cooperation, the 20 acres of peppers are picked, it is estimated that it will not be more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and then he can pick others.
Cucumbers and tomatoes are easy to pick, and the amount is sufficient, if you dry until ten o'clock in the evening, it is estimated that it is not a problem for each person to come a thousand catties.
So as long as you are willing to work, you can get up to seven or eight thousand yuan per month!
If you work earlier in the morning, no rest at noon, and an extra hour in the evening, it is possible to exceed 10,000!
Thinking about being able to get such a thick stack of banknotes every month, Chen Shangwu felt his old heart beat wildly.
"Yes, enough is enough!"
When Wu Jun saw the light in his eyes, he knew what wishful thinking he was making.
However, this kind of thing must be full of motivation at first, but repeating the same thing every day will naturally feel boring and unbearable after a long time.
"Arrange your time reasonably, don't do it every day, no matter how good your body is after a long time, you can't bear it, so recruit more people. ”
"Got it, master. ”
Chen Shangwu returned to the team and told everyone about the newly released piecework wages and his method of calculating wages, and everyone's speed increased a lot again.
"Master," Fan Peng walked over at this time, pointed to a feng shui stone in the ground and asked, "I think this feng shui stone seems to be a lot more advanced." ”
"Yes, it's level three. Wu Jun smiled, "But you don't have to think about buying it, this feng shui stone has to be picked by yourself, and ordinary people may not be able to bear it." ”
Fan Peng nodded, inevitably feeling a little regretful in his heart.
If only he could buy a piece and go back and look at it, it would be worth it even if he sold those four villas.
"Xiaolei, you come to see this feng shui stone, it will be of great help to you. ”
Seeing that the two of them began to be in a daze in front of a statue, Wu Jun couldn't help but shake his head.
Sure enough, what kind of master is it, and what kind of apprentice is it bringing.
"This young man is good," Niu Shoutong slowly and leisurely took the scissors, clicking and cutting the chili peppers, "Do you have a girlfriend......"
"Old cow!"
Wu Jun hurriedly interrupted, in front of Fan Xiaolei, he must not mention the word girlfriend.
As a result, Fan Xiaolei heard it, and his face became not very good-looking.
Fan Peng sighed in his heart when he saw it, his nephew, what should he do in the future.
At this time, he saw a few figures, pointing at this side from a distance, and said to Fan Xiaolei: "Go and see, what are those people doing." ”
"Good. ”
After Fan Xiaolei left, Niu Shoutong asked a little puzzled: "What's wrong with this young man, is it just out of love?"
"It's a bit hard to say, anyway, in the future, don't have a girlfriend or something in front of him. ”
Wu Jun also saw those people in the distance, but since Fan Xiaolei had gone, and it was still outside the farm, he didn't care much.
After picking the chili peppers for a while, Wu Jun saw that Zou Hai and Wei Donghai were already a little overwhelmed, so he asked everyone to go back and rest.
As soon as he arrived at the office, Fan Xiaolei came back.
"Master, Master, those people just now were looking at the ground. ”
"What are you seeing?"
"I heard them say a few words, it should be to see the cemetery," Fan Xiaolei said, "but it doesn't seem to take a fancy to it, so he left." ”
Fan Peng nodded: "From the outside, there is indeed no good cemetery here. ”
Even if he doesn't know much about feng shui, Wu Jun knows that this place nearby is not very good, and those who look at feng shui will find it here, and it is estimated that there is no level.
In that case, don't even worry about it.
"Master," Su Haoran asked, "Now we can't use so many dishes every day, what should we do with the rest?"
"It's okay if you don't use it," Wu Jun said, "pick as much as you want, if you don't pick these vegetables when they're ripe, they can stay on the tree for several days, and new ones won't grow, but you have to move quickly, otherwise you can only use them to make pickles." ”
"Got it. ”
After eating a hearty meal of vegetables in the cafeteria at noon, Wu Jun saw that there was nothing wrong and went straight home.
Chen Shangwu led a group of people until it was dark, and then he happily called it a day.
Today, everyone's harvest is not small, everyone is a hundred or dozens, this is still not very skilled, and at noon with the boss to eat, the result of a delay of two hours.
After the workers had all gone home happily, Chen Shangwu and a few young old men stayed.
The security has not been officially arranged, so a few people have been temporarily assigned to be responsible for the security work in the past few days.
After a few people had dinner, they took a bright flashlight and took a few dogs from their home and began to patrol the farm.
There are a few small hills in the middle of the farm that are covered with lush pine forests, which belong to the protected forest, except for the trees, which are dense weeds, but at night it is dark and still looks a little seeping.
When passing by a protected forest, several dogs suddenly became excited, yelled a few times and rushed in, unable to stop barking.
"I guess there are hares. An old man said.
"That's not going to work," Chen Shangwu said, "what if you have to find a way to get the rabbits away, or else they'll come and steal the vegetables?"
"But how? We couldn't run, and we didn't shoot. ”
Chen Shangwu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, let's go and see it first, it's really not good, I'll buy some medicine tomorrow." ”
A few people burrowed into the thick woods, and a few dogs whined and barked not far away.
Chen Shangwu shone the flashlight and found that they were not chasing rabbits, but barking at a small tree, and two of them were trying to climb the tree.
However, because the tree was too small, I didn't climb it for a long time.
Several old men felt strange, and several flashlights shone at the same time.
In a snowy light, they saw the tree for what it really was.
It is just over two meters high, covered with blood-red leaves, the shape of the leaves is perfectly round, and the petiole is in the middle of the leaf, like a miniature version of the lotus leaf.
"What kind of tree is this? I've never seen it before. ”
The blood-red leaves were too dazzling for several old men to dare not act rashly.
Chen Shangwu had the courage to try to pick a leaf and tear it open, take it to his nose and smell it.
"It smells so good. ”
The leaves give off a very enticing fragrance and are very intense.
Chen Shangwu just sniffed it lightly, and he had a feeling of drunkenness, which was very comfortable.
When several dogs smelled this, they were even more excited, looking directly at the leaves, and long saliva hung on the corners of their mouths.
