Hearing Lian Qijian say this, Cao Shujie instantly felt that the fruits of his hard work were recognized.

This recognition is based on the fact that the research results he has paid too much in his previous life for more than ten years are indeed useful, and Lian Qijian does not know this complicated feeling.

"Qijian, no matter how much you pick later, I will give you two catties per person." Cao Shujie took the initiative to say.

They are all acquaintances, and it was his cousin who brought people over, so it was also appropriate to let some profits.

But Lian Qijian waved his hand: "Brother Jie, don't let me, it's hard for you to plant fruit trees, I also heard my Brother Zhen say that Brother Jie, you invested almost one million in it, right?" ”

The four young people brought by Lian Qijian are also rich or powerful, and they don't dare to say how powerful they are outside, but they all feel good about themselves in Pingyuan County.

They didn't take Cao Shujie in their eyes at first, but when they heard Lian Qijian say that Cao Shujie planted an orchard with an initial investment of more than one million, the contempt for Cao Shujie in their hearts immediately disappeared.

In the final analysis, this is an era of fighting for strength.

Several of them also shouted after Lian Qijian: "Brother Jie." ”

"Well, you'll all go to my house for dinner later."

"One thing is one thing, you are my first guests today, and you have to send it again!" Cao Shujie said with a smile.

Lian Qijian was very smart and didn't argue about this issue anymore. He asked, "Brother Jie, where is your orchard?" Get in the car and I'll take you there. ”

At this time, Cao Shujie pointed to the uphill road not far away and said: "There, you go up along that road, there is a parking platform on it, just park the car there." ”

"You go up first, I'll take the dog here, and we'll meet up there." After Cao Shujie finished speaking, he went to lead the dog in the rough room next to him.

When Lian Qijian heard Cao Shujie say this, he was not polite, and drove directly with 4 friends and stepped on the accelerator.

In less than ten minutes, Cao Shujie also came up with four dogs.

Lian Qijian and the five of them were waiting on the parking platform at this moment, looking around.

I was very curious about the inside of the barbed wire fence, and I always felt that there was something magical over there that could attract them.

After Cao Shujie led the dog up, several of them wanted to come around to talk to Cao Shujie, but when they saw Daha and Erha, they were scared.

After more than 4 months of growth, these two dogs have been fed well, weighing more than 20 pounds, and their height is more than 40 centimeters, although they are not fully mature, but their dog faces have become indifferent and arrogant in front of outsiders, and their eyes are glaring, a bit similar to a wolf.

I was really a little scared when I saw it.

"Brother Jie, why do you have so many dogs." After relieving himself, Lian Qijian was three meters away from Cao Shujie, and he was afraid that Daha and Erha would make a surprise attack and bite him.

Cao Shujie opened the gate on the barbed wire fence, let them in, and said, "Keep it up and play, and you don't have anything to do at home, so you have to find something for yourself." ”

"......" Lian Qijian looked at his four friends, and then at Cao Shujie and the large orchard around him, thinking to himself, are you doing nothing?

Cao Shujie led the four dogs in front of him, took them to the old orchard, pointed to the kiwi fruit tree full of fruits, and said to them: "Oh, that's it, I'll get you a few bags, you can pick whatever you want." ”

Cao Shujie thought that when he went to pick kiwifruit in his previous life, the main family isolated each tree separately, and only let the next tree be picked after picking a tree, for fear that some customers would pick the good and big ones first, and leave the secondary fruits on the tree and not be able to sell them.

But Cao Shujie doesn't have this concern, the kiwi fruits on his tree are about the same size, even if there are some remaining fruits that look small now, they won't be too bad, it's a big deal to pick them and eat them yourself, anyway, they won't waste it.

Lian Qijian took the bag and looked at the vines full of kiwifruit, he was a little excited to see this kind of scene for the first time, but he didn't forget to ask: "Brother Jie, how is the price calculated?" ”

Cao Shujie heard Lian Qijian ask for the price, he looked at the old orchard in front of him, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, before he said: "You are the first batch of guests to come, I won't lie to you, 28 yuan a catty, no matter how much you buy, I will give you two catties each." ”

“28？” That's a lot of money.

But Lian Qijian and the five of them glanced at each other and felt that it was acceptable.

In addition to Lian Qijian, the other 4 people also asked for a kiwi from Lian Qijian and tasted it, knowing that it tasted really good, so they followed Lian Qijian to pick it.

Even on the way here, they guessed the price.

At that time, several people still guessed with certainty that this thing couldn't be beaten for thirty or forty-one pounds.

How do you know that it's only 28 yuan, and they still feel that they have taken advantage.

Not to mention 28 pounds of kiwifruit, I have also eaten more than 100 yuan a pound of fruit, but I don't think there is anything strange.

"Let's go, my brothers hurry up and pick it up, I still have to pick some more, and take it to the school to eat for Dandan."

"Lian Qijian, you can show off, be careful to show affection, die quickly!"

"you, believe it or not, I'm burying you here as fertilizer!"

The five people laughed, took the bag given to them by Cao Shujie and entered the orchard, and looked around, the kiwi fruit was about the same size, so they didn't pick it this time, and reached out and began to pick.

……

On the other side, Wang Shiye, an old man with a good face, drove an old Jetta, took his wife Gan Jiaqing and two grandsons to Qingshi Town, and after inquiring about the location of Caojiazhuang, they drove directly to their destination.

Because the road was unfamiliar, I asked someone twice on the road, and I arrived at the place after more than 20 minutes.

All the way to the north of Caojiazhuang Village, they thought about where to go.

Seeing that there were two middle-aged women chatting on the road leading to Caojiazhuang, Wang Shiye got out of the car and asked, "Two big sisters, hello, this is Caojiazhuang, right?" ”

"Yes, big brother, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for a young man named Cao Shujie, he's planting an orchard here, right?" Wang Shiye asked again.

Hearing that Wang Shiye was looking for Cao Shujie, one of the middle-aged women pointed to the mountain to the east and said, "Big brother, have you seen that mountain?" ”

Wang Shiye nodded, the place was too big, the goal was obvious, and then he heard the middle-aged woman say: "After you pass, you can see a road up the mountain, and if you go up the road, it will be Cao Shujie's orchard." ”

Wang Shiye thanked them, returned to the parking place, drove the car up the hill along the road guided by the other party, and finally parked the car on the side of the orchard parking platform.

Seeing that there was a Passat with a local license plate on it, and then looking at the orchard inside the barbed wire fence, Wang Shiye knew that he had found the right place this time.

"Old man, you're here!" His wife Gan Jiaqing asked.

Their two grandsons, Wang Yuliang and Wang Yuyang, also looked out expectantly in the car, regardless of whether they were in the place or not, they all felt that this side looked different.

"It's time to arrive!" Wang Shiye said.

Gan Jiaqing got out of the car with his two grandsons and looked inside the barbed wire fence, and before they could enter, they heard a few 'oh, oh' howls from inside the barbed wire fence, which was similar to a wolf howl.

Gan Jiaqing heard the voice and was startled: "Is it a wolf howl?" ”

"Grandma, look, it's a husky." The eldest grandson, Wang Yuliang, pointed to Daha and Erha inside the barbed wire fence and said.

Then I heard someone shouting from inside: "Daha, Erha, come here." ”

When Wang Shiye heard this voice, he smiled and said to his wife: "This is Xiao Cao's voice." ”

The next moment, he shouted, "Is it Boss Cao?" ”

"Hey, uncle, why are you here?" Cao Shujie also saw this kind-faced old man through the barbed wire fence, and he was very happy.

This was the first time he took a free kiwi when he went to Pingyuan County Youth Square to give away free kiwifruit.

The two chatted for a while, and he was very impressed by the old man.

"Who called your kiwifruit delicious, my two grandsons can't eat enough, I think it's okay, so I'll come to your side to pick some and take it back." Wang Shiye said.

Subsequently, the old man Wang Shiye also introduced his wife and two grandsons.

Cao Shujie opened the door of the orchard for Wang Shiye and them, and after taking them in, he went straight to the old orchard.

"Uncle Wang, there is so much on my side now, you can watch and pick it, I don't want you to pay a high price, 28 yuan a catty, no matter how much you pick, I will give you a catty for free." Cao Shujie said.

When Wang Shiye listened to Cao Shujie's introduction of the price, he didn't ask a word.

After tasting the taste of this kiwifruit last night, he knew that this variety was not cheap, and he could accept the price of 28 yuan a catty.

Like they have taken their grandson to other places to pick strawberries before, they are all thirty or fifty yuan a catty, and even more expensive.

"Grandpa, look!" Wang Yuyang pointed to the vines full of kiwi fruit hanging in front of him, he was very happy, he thought that after he went back this time, he would be able to enjoy it.

"Let's go, go pick it!" Wang Shiye was very happy, he asked Cao Shujie for two bags, and the old couple also went into the orchard with their two grandsons.

There are a total of seven acres of fruit in the old orchard, of which 5 acres are kiwifruit and the other two acres are apples.

Speaking of which, the total output of kiwifruit is not high, only 25,000 or 6 catties.

Seeing that the five of them and Wang Shiye and the four of them were all picking kiwifruit in the orchard, Cao Shujie felt much more at ease.

His efforts were not in vain, and although there were only two groups of guests, he was already very satisfied.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and with this beginning, Cao Shujie feels that the next step is not a problem.

Suddenly remembering something, Cao Shujie hurriedly called his wife, and after Cheng Xiaolin answered the phone, Cao Shujie said to her: "Wife, you bring the electronic scale and the cardboard box containing kiwifruit at home." ”

"Come on a tricycle, the sooner the better." Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin's reaction was not slow, she immediately figured out the reason: "Did anyone come to buy fruit?" ”

"Yes, there are two groups of guests who come to pick kiwifruit." Cao Shujie said: "Hurry up and bring things over, I have to take care of them first." ”

At home, as soon as Cheng Xiaolin told her mother-in-law Wang Yuelan about the situation, Wang Yuelan took out all the remaining cardboard boxes that were specially used to hold kiwifruit at home, and loaded the electronic scale on the tricycle. ”

"Mom, it's okay, you watch Meng Meng at home first, I'll go and come back quickly." Cheng Xiaolin said.

When the words fell, the person was already out on an electric tricycle.

She rode so fast that she didn't bother to greet the villagers on the road, and after a few minutes, she rushed to the parking platform.

"Shujie, where are you?" Cheng Xiaolin shouted loudly.

Cao Shujie, who was in the orchard, heard his wife's shout and hurriedly greeted him.

Together with his wife, he took the cardboard box and electronic scale off the tricycle.

"Shujie, where are you a guest?" Cheng Xiaolin was both excited and puzzled.

Their orchard has finally ushered in a buyer, but I wonder if there is anyone else?

While the two were talking, the sound of a car came from the foot of the mountain, and a dilapidated Santana drove up in a few moments.

Cao Shujie and Cheng Xiaolin were stunned, what is going on today?

Before they could figure it out, they saw Cui Jingguo and another middle-aged woman getting out of the car with their two children.

"Boss Cui, why are you here?" Cao Shujie thought to himself what was going on today, and they all came together?

"Boss Cao, who made your kiwifruit so delicious, the two boxes you gave, let our family eat them all this morning, I don't have to eat it, what do you say?" Cui Jingguo said teasingly.

Hearing him say this, Cao Shujie laughed: "It's not easy to eat kiwifruit? Boss Cui goes in and picks it casually, let's have a relationship, don't want money. ”

The more he said this, Cui Jingguo was really hard to answer, and even his shrewd wife Zou Chun'e was embarrassed to say it for nothing.

took Cui Jingguo and his family of four into the old orchard, and met the old man Wang Shiye coming out with two bags full of kiwifruit, and his wife Gan Jiaqing followed with two grandsons.

After seeing Cao Shujie, he also complained: "Boss Cao, do you still have a large bag here?" The bag you gave is too small to hold much kiwifruit! ”

Gan Jiaqing also said: "Boss Cao, don't you prepare to order a big bag, it's hard to come once, you can't buy this and go back." ”

"......" Cao Shujie looked at the old man Wang Shiye carrying two bags of kiwifruit, each bag full of at least ten catties, is he not enough?

"That's how much you want to buy!" Cao Shujie couldn't understand: "Sure enough, it's rich people who are capricious!" ”

He suddenly remembered that Lian Qijian, who went in first, and the five of them were still in the orchard and didn't come out.

"Uncle Wang, I still have two acres of apples over there, which are also improved varieties, and the taste is very good, can you try it?" Cao Shujie asked him.

Wang Shiye looked at the two bags of kiwifruit in his hand and said, "Our old couple has bad teeth and can't eat apples." ”

"That's okay, I'll give you the next name, if you don't think it's enough, Uncle Wang will pick some more."

As Cao Shujie spoke, he lifted the electronic scale, and after turning on the switch, he also let Wang Shiye glance at the number, which was displayed as zero.

Only then did he weigh the two bags of kiwifruit: "Uncle Wang, look, a total of 21.4 catties, the fraction is counted as the one I gave you, a total of 20 catties, 560 yuan, can you pick it?" ”
