22, National Day to
When making lunch on this day, Wang Juhua buried a few fresh red lotus in the stove, which she specially dug when she went to the ground to cut the vine today, and what surprised her was that this year's red lotus generally grew larger than last year, and the surface was smooth, without a bit of weirdness.
"Changfeng, I roasted a few red buds in the stove, you go get them out and taste them." After lunch, Wang Juhua remembered this and said to her son.
"I haven't eaten the roasted red lotus at home for many years, so I have to try it." Mo Changfeng smiled, and then went to get out a few red lotus in the stove, and found that the surface of the red lotus was already a little mushy.
However, when the red lotus had cooled down a little, he picked one up and patted the ash on it, and then tore open the toasted skin, revealing the golden red heart inside, exuding the fragrance of ripeness.
"Come on, Dad, you taste it first." Mo Changfeng first got one for his father, then one for his mother, and finally took one himself.
"Well, it tastes good, it's delicious." Mo Shifu tasted it first and found that this year's red lotus was sweet and fragrant, without any greasy taste, just like eating fruit.
"That's right, it's really delicious." Mo Changfeng also tasted it.
"You say, our red lotus is so delicious, do you want to get an oven, let's sell roasted red lettuce?" After Wang Juhua tasted it, she suddenly said to her husband and son.
Now, she also has an economic mind, and she knows that all kinds of things she produces have become delicious, so she naturally thinks of selling them for money.
"Yes, and there are a lot of red vetches at home, at least a few thousand catties can be dug up, even if a catty of roasted red vetches is sold for ten yuan, it is still tens of thousands of yuan of income." Mo Shifu nodded first, and also settled the score.
"It's just this time when I have to start digging red roots, and I have to be busy for several days, and if I go to sell roasted red roots, I'm afraid my family will be too busy." Wang Juhua said worriedly.
"Mom, you don't have to worry, everything is with me. By the way, I'll go to the city tomorrow and buy the oven. Mo Changfeng said with a smile.
The next day, Mo Changfeng went to the Yulong Lake intersection early in the morning to take a car to the city, and in the car, he should buy a car after thinking about making money, no matter how much he went to see Zhou Wanrong in the future, or where to go, it would be more convenient.
After arriving in the city, Mo Changfeng's mind first swept through it and found many places that sold baked things, such as roasted red roots, roasted corn, roasted potatoes, roasted yams, etc., and they all used similar ovens.
Mo Changfeng went to a closer place to observe and found that the ovens used by these hawkers were all for burning liquefied gas, and there was no such oven for burning honeycomb coal.
Moreover, he also found that the roasted things sold by these vendors were basically half-cooked first and then put in to roast, so that the time was much faster.
However, the space in the oven is not very large, and it can only bake twenty or thirty red potatoes at the same time, but you can add new ones while selling, as long as you don't sell too much at once, you don't have to worry about not being able to pick it up.
After inquiry, Mo Changfeng asked about the place where the oven was sold, and spent 1,500 yuan to sell an oven, but he still needed to go back to prepare liquefied gas, and he could use it after connecting it.
The size of the oven is not particularly large, it can probably take up half the space of the small tricycle, plus the liquefied gas tank and some red lettuce, basically a small tricycle is enough to do business.
"Well, now you can sell roasted red potatoes, and in winter, you can also sell baked potatoes, but I don't have to worry about my parents having nothing to do." When buying the oven, Mo Changfeng thought.
From this day on, Wang Juhua went to the intersection of Yulonghu Road every day to sell roasted red roots, but the selling price was three yuan a red root, which was not too expensive, but it was still higher than those two yuan a piece in the urban area.
"Old Motou's family is selling roasted red lotus again."
"Their red lotus is very delicious, and the roasted taste is even more fragrant."
"Three yuan a roasted red vetch, it's too expensive."
"I don't know if we can sell our red roots?"
Soon, the people in the village began to talk about the affairs of the old Mo family again, but for a period of time, especially after Mo Changfeng returned home, there were too many shocking things about the old Mo family.
"That's the luck of the old Mo family."
"Well, if only we could get a little light."
"It's still the luck of Mo Lao Er and Mo Lao Jiu's family, they are close to Lao Mo's family, I heard that they have begun to get naked."
"Yes, Mo Lao Er is the brother of Lao Mo, needless to say. Because Mo Laojiu has always been close to the old Mo family, he has been helping the old Mo family for a few years, and now it has finally paid off. ”
"Both of them called the baby back, and they both contracted the barren slope land, it must be the old Mo family who promised to help them."
A few days later, Mo Shifu and Uncle Jiu's family also went to buy an oven and came back, and it was Mo Changfeng who introduced them, because the two of them also found that this year's red lotus was better than in previous years, so they also wanted to sell roasted red lotus.
However, of course, they would not compete with the old Mo family's business, so after the three families discussed, Mo Shifu rode a tricycle to Luchuan Town every day to sell roasted red roots, while Uncle Nine went to Yulong Town next door every day to sell roasted red roots.
And the price of their roasted red lotus is also cheaper, the same as that in the city, it is two yuan a piece, but because their red lotus tastes good, so the business is okay.
"We can sell more than 100 red lotus every day, and we can earn about 200 yuan after removing the cost."
"I'm pretty much the same, I really didn't expect that one day I would be able to sell red lotus for so much money."
Soon after, Mo Changfeng learned that the daily income of the second uncle and the ninth uncle, although there was a huge gap between his mother's daily income of 500 yuan, but it was much easier than working outside, and the income was also a lot.
Every day, his mother Wang Juhua goes to sell roasted red roots, and Mo Changfeng and his father dig red roots at home, but he is responsible for digging, and his father is responsible for cleaning up the soil on the red roots, and then loading them in baskets and pulling them back with a tricycle.
The reason why Mo Changfeng is responsible for digging the red lotus is because he can accurately judge where there is the red lotus and will not dig up the red lotus, because the rotten red lotus can't be sold.
The red vetch can be stored for more than half a year, so in the old society it was the main ration of people's families, and even relied on it to feed the family all year round.
This year, all the red vetches of Lao Motou's house are big and long, the surface is smooth and clean, there are about three taels of one, a total of about 4,000 kilograms have been dug, and half of the utility room is piled up.
After digging up the red roots, the land was leveled, and September was almost over. And this year's Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are the same day, Mo Changfeng took a seven-day holiday and came back with Zhou Wanrong.
"Brother, I heard from my mother that our stove red is selling very well, so what should I do if I feed the pigs in the future?" The girl was worried about things at home.
"There are still many vines, and when these vines are fed, they can almost kill the pigs." Mo Shifu took over and said that now the red lotus at home can be sold for money, and he is reluctant to use it to feed the pigs.
"Girl, you came back just in time, our citrus can be eaten. I have advertised in the WeChat group, maybe there will be a lot of repeat customers to pick during this National Day, and you will be responsible for receiving and collecting money. Mo Changfeng arranged his sister's vacation to the full.
"Okay, if I'm too busy, I'll call my sister-in-law to help." Mo Changfeng said with a grin.
Since one day Mo Changfeng went to school to give his sister and Zhou Wanrong something, and asked his sister to go to Zhou Wanrong's dormitory for dinner at noon, when she bumped into two people kissing, she changed her name to Zhou Wanrong's sister-in-law.
"Girl, don't go out and shout, I don't know if the people in the village like to call the root of the tongue?" Mo Changfeng immediately reminded her.
"Brother, I see. Didn't my sister-in-law say that you were going to get married at the end of the year? It's not going to be long, so I don't have to shout to get used to it sooner. Mo Changfeng said with a smile.
Lao Motou's citrus trees are the most, there are more than 100 trees, and they are also more than ten years old, some have grown to three or four meters high, but most of them are only about two meters high.
After Mo Changfeng came home, he gave all the citrus trees branches, so this year's citrus trees are also very good, and there are still sixty or seventy catties per tree on average.
In recent days, Mo Changfeng has been paying attention to the citrus trees in the forest, because this is also a large amount of income for the Mo family this year, and it is initially expected to sell for 1670,000 yuan.
"Brother Mo, tomorrow I will bring a few friends down to pick citrus, can I make a living with you?" That night, Daniel Zhang called to inquire.
"Brother Zhang, two or three tables can still be had, no matter how much you are busy, you can't be busy." Mo Changfeng said with a smile.
"One table is enough. You can look at the dishes and arrange them, preferably your home-cooked food. Daniel Zhang said reassuringly.
"No problem, the chickens and ducks that I fed at home, the vegetables I grew at home, and then I arranged a bean curd for you, it's all right." Mo Changfeng said.
"Okay."
At about ten o'clock the next morning, Daniel Zhang and Liu Yanping both came, and drove a total of three cars with friends, all of which were luxury off-road and small cars, and brought friends including men and women, as well as two elderly people and two children.
"Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, you're early." Mo Changfeng came out to greet him.
"Brother Mo, I'm really bothering you. Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Tian Xiangjun and his family, and this is Director Liu Mingyuan and his family of the city organ. Mr. Tian, Bureau Liu, this is Brother Mo that I often mention to you. Daniel Zhang introduced each other.
"Mo Changfeng, welcome Mr. Tian and Director Liu to bring their families to play. Please go to the gazebo and sit for a while to have a cup of tea, and the children can go and pick citrus and taste it casually. Mo Changfeng smiled and shook hands with the two and beckoned everyone to the pavilion.
"I've heard Mr. Zhang talk about Brother Mo for a long time, but I didn't have the opportunity to get to know him, but today I saw that Brother Mo is really the dragon and phoenix among people." Tian Xiangjun said with a smile.
"Brother Mo is extraordinary, and at first glance, he is a person who does great things, and he came to disturb him today." Liu Mingyuan also nodded with a smile and said, he originally thought that Mo Changfeng was just an ordinary farmer, but after seeing him, he found that he had an outstanding temperament, and he didn't dare to slack off.
"Good tea. Lao Zhang, isn't this the tea you invited me to drink last time? It turned out that I got it from Brother Mo. ”
After the group sat down, the women took the children to pick citrus, Mo Changfeng went to the kitchen to work, the three big men began to drink tea and chat, Tian Xiangjun tasted a sip of tea and his eyes lit up and said.
"I'll taste it. Wow, wow, this tea is indeed very special, the taste is very mellow and fragrant, more refreshing than the tea I usually drink, especially there is a refreshing feeling. Liu Mingyuan also nodded and said.
"Hahaha, finally let you find out. But I also have to admire Brother Mo, not only the fruits he grows are delicious, the peach blossom wine he brews is also delicious, and the tea he makes is not ordinary. Daniel Zhang said with a proud smile.
On the table in the gazebo, there were more than a dozen fresh citrus, with tender green leaves on them, and the three of them peeled the citrus and tasted it while chatting.
"Wow." Tian Xiangjun couldn't help but exclaim, there are too many surprises today, I didn't expect the Mo family's citrus to be so delicious.
"This taste, it's just too good." Liu Mingyuan couldn't help but scream, he had eaten countless kinds of fruits, but the taste could be compared to very few.
"Yes, after eating the fruits of Brother Mo's house, I feel that the fruits I ate before have been eaten in vain, and the other fruits are not fragrant." Daniel Zhang also sighed.
"I don't know how the Mo family's fruits are grown? There must be a secret in this. Tian Xiangjun asked.
"I heard that Brother Mo had been abroad for 10 years and had learned management methods from outside. But it's a trade secret, I haven't asked, and it's not easy to ask. Daniel Zhang shook his head and said.
"It's true, with such a means, plus this mountain full of fruits, you can't make a fortune if you don't want to." Liu Mingyuan nodded.
"Well, Brother Mo's family now has loquats, peaches, plums, pears and citrus, and he has also contracted dozens of acres of sloping land over there, planted cherries and some Chinese medicinal herbs, and will have cherries to eat next year." Daniel Zhang introduced the situation of the Mo family.
"I see that there are also two large plots of land next to here, and some fruits and peppercorns have just been planted, which should also be contracted by the villagers, right? If the Mo brothers' management methods can be promoted, their village will definitely become a well-known fruit village and a wealthy village in the future. Liu Mingyuan said.
"I think the geographical location of this village is quite good, surrounded by Wuxian Mountain, next to Yulong Lake, and the Jiuqu River passing through the village, which can be said to be close to the mountains and rivers.
If the fruit economy in the village develops, there will be no problem in turning it into a rural tourist spot in the future. Tian Xiangjun is more familiar with tourism, so he thought about it.
Time passed quickly, and soon Mo Changfeng took the children to carry baskets of citrus to the yard, and packed them in fruit boxes and placed them in the corner next to them.
At the same time, two tables were also set up in the courtyard of the Mo family, one table for guests and one table for the host, and Mo Shifu also invited Zhou Caifu and Liu Yuehua over.
Because Zhou Wanrong knew that the Mo family was going to receive guests today, she came over early to help, and seeing her daughter so towards the Mo family, Zhou Caifu and his family also acquiesced, compared to being reluctant to talk about the object, they were willing to marry their daughter to Mo Changfeng.
