Chapter 34: Breaking

"Xiaomei, the peaches you ordered this time are really delicious, can you continue to arrange them tomorrow?"

"Why don't you work overtime and have dinner tonight? We'll all pay for the peaches. ”

The receptionist looked confused. She had never seen these colleagues treat her so well.

Usually, her colleagues treat her as a little sister at the front desk, in charge of picking up and dropping off courier guests. She has no status at all. Now she is praised and flattered by those people.

She came to her senses and was confused.

"Peaches? I didn't buy peaches. ”

Everyone said in unison, "Yes!" ”

"Go and see what you ordered. The peaches are so delicious.

If you buy it from the orchard, you can buy another one, just the peaches.

How much? Please reimburse me. “

This phrase was said by the project manager.

Other employees shouted, "The manager is fantastic!" ”

When the receptionist saw it, he respectfully said to the manager, "Okay, manager, I'll go and see what's going on." ”

She hurriedly walked to the front desk trash can, looked at the courier bag in the trash can, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, the cleaning aunt also confiscated the garbage.

She took out the Orchard Club bag from the trash can and saw a message posted on it that read: "Dear VIP customers, please give us the latest peaches from the Orchard Club with your order." Have a great day! ”

The receptionist suddenly realized.

"So it's a gift!"

Thinking of the above order, she quickly opened the takeaway platform, only to find that there were no peaches on it.

She dialed Hui Orchard.

"Hey, I'm your VIP client. I ordered a set of afternoon tea and fruit at your house today. The peaches you gave me were delicious. Our colleagues were raving about it.

There is no takeaway on the platform, can you order directly from your store? “

The orchard staff said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Miss, we only have free peach gifts, and they haven't been officially released yet."

In a few days, a new product will appear on the market that cuts the fruit into peaches. You can pay attention to the takeaway platform at any time, and you can also pay attention to our messages. “

"Okay."

The receptionist could only regretfully reply to the colleague who was waiting for him.

Colleagues are frustrated.

"Peaches are now my life-sustaining gift. Eating a piece is like beating chicken blood.

I feel like I could do more projects! “

"Yes, you can stay up for three days and three nights!"

The project manager smiled. He had never seen his colleagues so active before.

"Xiaomei, you must pay close attention to the information of Peaches and order for your colleagues as soon as possible, no matter what the price is."

This phenomenon is manifested not only in this company, but also in other companies in Yamashiro.

Everyone was full of praise after eating the peaches and fruit slices presented by Huiguo Orchard. Huiguo Orchard's phone is about to break.

Peaches, the protagonist of this story, are local peaches that Zhang Xu watered with aura.

Zhang Xu reads the script at home.

The script was given to him by Milan and she will soon star in the TV series.

Zhang Xu now has a good memory. After flipping through it, he wrote a thick script and straightened out the story.

In fact, it's just a big female script.

The female leader was born into an aristocratic family. When she grew up, she was destroyed by her family. After being rescued by her master, she threw herself into learning martial arts, and then killed all her enemies for revenge.

In the process of revenge, she meets the male owner of the cloth shop, and they get married overnight.

The man in the story is killed in the first few episodes, and the vengeful woman gives birth to the man's daughter, runs the cloth shop, becoming the richest woman of the generation.

"This story should look good when it comes out."

Zhang Xu will soon be able to replace the heroine with Milan's face.

It is beautiful, noble and elegant. It smells of royal sisterhood, and somehow, it has an atmosphere of beauty, strength, and pain.

"Unfortunately, there isn't much description of the costumes for these two plays in the script."

Zhang Xu's costume in Milan was worn on the day of the heroine's coming-of-age ceremony and the day of the heroine's revenge, which ran through the two main turning points of the two dramas.

Zhang Xu looked at the other materials in the bag that Milan had given him. Several thick books are devoted to costumes, as well as collections of excellent costumes over the years. Zhang Xuzhi shook his head.

"I couldn't read all of this material in a month. Milan really looked up to me. ”

I have to say that Milan's sincerity is enough. It takes a lot of time to gather these materials.

If Zhang Xu is, it is impossible.

Zhang Xu, whose physical fitness has greatly improved, can see through and digest these materials in an hour or two.

"Well, it's better to use royal blue as a base color, plus gold trim and orchid embroidery.

The straight-leg jacket shows the nobility and firmness of the heroine, and the sleeves are necessary. The heroine's revenge weapon came out of her sleeve.

The skirt must be long enough to touch the floor, and an elegant layer of skirt should be added. The wind blows the skirt, which is a beautiful picture. “

Zhang Xu closed his eyes in contemplation, sketching the outline of the garment.

He took out a pen and paper and drew his thoughts on the paper.

"Something seems to be missing."

Zhang Xu bit the pen and drew Milan's face. Milan painted the make-up of war damage, which immediately brought the painting to life.

Lively and aromatic.

"That's basically it. I would like to add others. ”

For Zhang Xu, the mature concept is far more cautious than the production process.

The production process is assisted by the magic needle, so it does not take much time.

"Sapphire blue satin cloth and gold embroidery thread should be purchased at some point."

There were no suitable materials in the tailor shop left by Grandpa.

"Holy needle, come!"

Zhang Xu sacrificed the needle to test the embroidery effect on a piece of cloth.

Recently, he made a pair of red underwear for Lao Zhang, and found that Shen Needle can do more than simple sewing.

The embroidery area of this garment will be very large, and he will need a magic needle to help him finish.

"Embroidered Peony"

Zhang Xu took the photo he found on his mobile phone, looked at it carefully, and the picture of peony embroidery came to mind.

"Go ahead, needle."

After threading, the magic needle silently flies to the top of the fabric, and then it goes in and out of the fabric. It's as fast as a shadow.

When the magic needle stops, there is an embroidered peony flower on the cloth.

Zhang Xu looked at the embroidery carefully and was pleasantly surprised.

"It's amazing. The needle step was perfect. Lines of the same color are made into different colors by it to create a shadow effect. Looks lifelike! ”

The effect that is difficult to achieve with high-end embroidery machines is achieved through the magic needle.

When Zhang Xu was happy, his phone rang. It's Li Chao.

"Zhang Xu!"

Li Chao's tone was vaguely excited, and Zhang Xu guessed that it was about Mao Tao.

Two days ago, he picked hundreds of catties of peaches and transported them to Li Chao in a trolley. He got two thousand dollars.

"Li Chao."

Sure enough, Li Chao reported the peach to Zhang Xu.

"I tried the market for the peaches you shipped to me recently and the response was really good!

I gave peaches as a gift to VIP group buying customers and they were full of praise. The number of orders for our orchards is almost overwhelming.

Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot and really get into the sales process. How many of your trees are ripe? “

The corners of Zhang Xu's mouth smiled slightly. No one can resist the temptation of top-notch delicious fruits watered with blood.

As of now, there are about 4,500 catties of peaches left, and Zhang Xu's cronies have an average of two or three hundred catties of orders per day.

When there is an order, we speed up maturation. This season, we can sell for about ten to twenty days.

Zhang Xu goes to the mountains every two days to speed up ripening and picking fruits, making his job easier.

It's a piecemeal job, but it's different from the peach that Li Chao collaborates with. It is better to speed up ripening, pick and deliver in batches.

It's a bit tiring to pick peaches by yourself.

Zhang Xu would rather ask someone for help.

He already has a ready-made person to help, and that is Zhang Lan.

"Li Chao, the fruit has matured a lot in the past two days, and it is estimated that it will not be a problem to pick one or two hundred catties the next day.

I'll start picking tomorrow and hand it over to you at the same time every day. “

Li Chao's voice was very excited.

"Excellent! I'll send you the warehouse address as soon as possible! ”

After hanging up Li Chao's phone, Zhang Xu sent a message to Zhang Lan.

"Zhang Lan, are you free for the past two days? The task of picking peaches is here. ”

Zhang Lan quickly replied to his message.

"The day after you sent me back last time, Li Xu announced that he was the new director of multimodal transport, and everyone was very happy.

I talked to Li Xu. He said that if you need it, you can always ask me to ask for leave from the workshop, and he will approve it. “

"Well, tomorrow morning at seven o'clock you can get off at the bus stop near my house. I'll take you up the hill to pick fruit, bring sunscreen and other equipment. ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

When Zhang Lan was invited to pick fruit, Zhang Xu paid the price of one yuan.

He sells peaches for 20 yuan a catty, an average of 67 yuan per catty.

This price is high. Zhang Xu gave Zhang Lan this price, not because he sympathized with her, but because he liked Zhang Lan's work ability.

In the factory, Zhang Lan is the fastest worker in the workshop. She is very careful and has a low error rate.

If there is a Guinness Book of Records for a lathe worker, Zhang Lan may still have a world record.

If she doesn't just want to make money by piecework and doesn't want to be a manager, then she will be a workshop manager for a long time.

Zhang Xu stayed in the workshop for half a year, and he was convinced of Zhang Lan's performance in that half a year.

Moreover, Zhang Lan is a simple person. Her mouth was not interrupted by the other female workers, and she was not so diligent. She was someone he could trust.

Zhang Xu asked her to try picking fruits. He wanted her to be a good helper.

This dollar of fruit, of course, is not only fruit picking, but also packaging and sorting.

Zhang Xu is recruiting for himself, paving the way for him to worry more about it in the future.

If someone else is invited, his price will not be so high.

He is not a philanthropist.

Zhang Xu arrived at the bus stop at the appointed time and saw Zhang Lan waiting for him.

Zhang Lan was dressed professionally, wearing a long coat and trousers, quick-drying fabric, sunscreen sleeves, cloth shoes, a hat with a large brim and a large backpack.

Looks like I'm going to do farm work.

Zhang Xu jokingly said: "Zhang Lan, you dress very professionally, did you do it yourself?" ”

Obviously, these clothes and fabrics are not the usual styles and fabrics in the market.

When they were in the workshop, they used some scrap cloth from the factory to find a pattern maker to make patterns for them and cut the fabric to make clothes.

This is an intangible benefit for the employees of the garment factory.

Zhang Lan smiled embarrassedly. When she's not wearing heavy makeup, she's a pretty little girl next door.

Her appearance can be ranked in the top three of the factory.

"Yes, I do farm work in my hometown. When I went up the hill in search of herbs, I dressed like this.

I had water and bread in my bag so I could continue working at noon. “

She saw that Zhang Xu was dressed very daily, just wearing long clothes and trousers, and he didn't even have a straw hat.

In contrast, she felt that she was too pompous.

She asked weakly, "I don't look strange here, do I?" ”

Zhang Xu led the way in front and said, "No."

In fact, you don't need to bring water and bread. Our work today is estimated to be completed in two or three hours. We will invite you to my house for lunch. “

Zhang Lan looked serious.

"I think since I'm going up the mountain, I should do more work and work hard."

Zhang Xuxiao said: "There are not so many ripe fruits.

You want to work from morning till night. You haven't done that much.

In the cool afternoon, do the packing work in the shade of the trees. “

"Oh yes."

The two of them walked up the hill. Zhang Lan thought for a while and said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, I have already considered the salary.

I don't think it should be so much.

You may have just started an orchard and don't know the market price.

I asked about the current wages in our hometown. From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., I took a two-hour break at noon and paid 100 yuan a day.

You can pay me this price. “

Zhang Xu smiled slightly.

Zhang Lan is really simple.

"Don't worry. I'll give you a dollar. It's not just about you picking fruit, it's also about doing some of the menial packing work. ”

Zhang Lan still shook her head and insisted: "This price is still not authentic, one dollar and one fruit, the price is too high." ”

Zhang Xu cautiously explained to her: "This is not ordinary fruit picking, my fruit is not cheap and cannot be lost."

I'm going to ask someone who works hard to help me. Fruits should be handled with care. Nothing can damage the fruit.

This dollar is not easy to earn.

I say a dollar is a dollar. This is the price of picking peaches and peaches.

If you pick longan and lychee later, it won't be this price. “

Zhang Lan scratched her head, and then said, "Okay." ”

Zhang Xu led her to the direction of the peach forest.

Before Zhang Lan came this morning, he used blood to ripen some peaches.

When Zhang Lan saw beautiful peaches growing on the tree, her eyes lit up.

"Zhang Xu, your peaches are really good. No wonder the price is high. No wonder you have to leave the factory and go home to plant fruit trees. ”

Zhang Xu smiled and didn't say anything.

"I started picking fruit, I started with two or three peach trees, which had a lot of ripe fruit on them.

There are cloth bags, bamboo poles and sickles. You should know how to pick them, right? “

Zhang Lan said confidently: "I'm good at this.

I used to help others pick fruit in the orchard to earn money for my brother's tuition. “

As she spoke, she quickly packed up the bamboo pole and sickle and put on the cloth bag.

After loading, she looked up at the peach on the tree and found a ripe peach. With a flick of the scythe, the peach fell into the bag.

Seeing her skillful appearance, Zhang Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Be careful not to damage the fruit. Be gentle. Don't put too much fruit in the bag at once. ”

After the two-word suggestion, they each picked up their tools and picked peaches together.

When picking peaches, Zhang Xu was also observing Zhang Lan.

His physical fitness has improved a lot, and he is not slow to pick fruits.

However, Zhang Lan is not slower than him.

He nodded lightly and asked Zhang Lan for help. She is very serious about her work.

Towards the end of the observation, he said to Zhang Lan, "You can continue to pick." I'll go to Peachtree and let you go later. ”

Zhang Lan worked hard and said without raising her head: "Okay." ”

Zhang Xu picked up the spray and walked towards the peach forest.

He sprayed blood on the spot and waited for the fruit to ripen before picking it.

Zhang Lan didn't know blood.

Just when Zhang Xu came to Mao Taolin to spurt blood, he suddenly heard a scream from Taozilin.

"What's wrong with Zhang Lan?"

This is Zhang Lan's voice.

Zhang Xu put down his things and ran over.

It didn't take long for him to get there.

There, he saw Zhang Lan fall to the ground, her face still shocked.

"What happened? Are you okay? ”

Zhang Lan stared intently in a certain direction. She seemed to have lost half of her soul and said, "Just now, I saw a snake swallowing peaches on a tree under my nose, which frightened me......"

Zhang Xu followed her eyes and saw no trace of the snake.

He looked up at the branches above his head, but there was no harvest.

"I can't see where the snake is."

Zhang Lan swallowed her saliva, withdrew her eyes, and looked at Zhang Xu.

The snake swallowed the peach and crawled away. Very fast......"

After saying this, she felt guilty, "Do you think I'm lying?"

In fact, I also think I'm dreaming. How could a snake with a thick thumb swallow a peach and then quickly slip away?

Snakes seem to eat only meat.

I'm not usually afraid of snakes. I saw all kinds of snakes when I went up the mountain to collect medicine.

But this snake is so weird. I've never seen a snake so fast before, so it screams. “

Speaking of this, Zhang Lan felt very embarrassed.

Zhang Xu narrowed his eyes.

He also found that recently, this peach forest is very strange.

Every time he watered the peaches with blood, many birds flew by.

So, he made scarecrows to drive away the birds in the forest.

This phenomenon has been rare since we became scarecrows.

That's why he irrigates the fruit with his blood before picking it to prevent some creatures from being attracted to the taste of the fruit.

However, he didn't know what would happen to these creatures after they ate the spirit fruit.

Zhang Lan finally regained consciousness. She felt embarrassed and explained to Zhang Xu, "I didn't pretend to be weak to attract your attention. Don't get me wrong......"

Zhang Xu smiled slightly.

"No need to explain. I know who you are. Let me help you up. ”

Zhang Lan walked into a pit and fell to the ground. Hearing Zhang Xu say that she wanted to help her, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No, I can stand up by myself." ”

She tried to stand up with her hands supporting her body, but she breathed a cold breath and immediately withdrew her hands, unable to get up.

"Hurt?"

Zhang Lan reluctantly piled up a smiling face and put her hand behind her.
