Saturday, August 6th!

At the same time, it is also the traditional Qixi Festival on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

On this day, I don't know if the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met, but Cao Shujie's orchard welcomed many guests who came from other places to pick.

Early in the morning, Cao Shujie and his wife Cheng Xiaolin came to the orchard on the mountain to wait, from Monday to now, he believes that this Saturday is the time of rest, plus the summer vacation is not over, there will be many enlightened parents with their children to come to pick.

Similarly, there will be people who taste the quality of his kiwifruit, who don't care about the amount of money and come over to have a good time.

I just don't know how many people will come later.

There is still more than a month to go until the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, and he must be in time to sell all the kiwifruit in his orchard when a large number of kiwifruit is on the market around August 15, and then start preparing other products.

Just thinking about things, Cheng Xiaolin shouted to him: "Shujie, the bags, plastic buckets and cardboard boxes are ready, right?" ”

"Don't worry, you're all set." Cao Shujie is full of confidence.

Today, not only the two of them are here, but his father Cao Jianguo is also here to help.

"Shujie, I don't think there's a lot of grass in stock, and when I'm busy in the past two days, I'll have to find someone to cut out the grass on this side of the orchard." Cao Jianguo said to his son.

Cao Shujie knew about this, and he said: "Dad, don't worry, I have a plan in my heart." ”

In the past, his son said that 'he has a plan', but Cao Jianguo only treated his son as running the train with his mouth full of words, which was perfunctory.

But now he believed that what his son said was true.

This step by step has passed, his son has a comprehensive plan for everything he does, and Cao Jianguo is dazzled by every step of action.

He never thought that the kiwifruit he had grown for more than ten years could be sold for 28 yuan a catty, and he never thought that a few acres of kiwifruit could be sold for hundreds of thousands.

Before, he didn't dare to think about it, but now that it has happened, he feels like a dream.

"Shujie, do you say you can sell 1,000 catties today?" Cao Jianguo looked forward to it, but felt that it was unlikely.

But Cao Shujie didn't think about this problem, he said: "Dad, let's not think about this problem, when the time comes, we can sell as much as we want, I'm afraid we won't be busy today." ”

"It's just that after a while, how much is the settlement, why can't you be busy." Cao Jianguo said.

"What about packing?" Cao Shujie mentioned.

Who knew that his father said directly: "Shujie is stupid, give the cardboard box to the customer, they can load it as they want, even if it is to pack one pound into two cartons, do you need that carton money?" ”

There was nothing wrong with saying this, and it also choked Cao Shujie a lot.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't dare to speak when she saw her father-in-law training her husband, and her stomach hurt when she laughed.

The sun is rising higher and higher, and the temperature between heaven and earth is also rising rapidly, Cao Shujie muttered: "Take a moment to let Grandpa Zhenggang build a resting house on it, and then install air conditioning to provide the service in place." ”

Cao Jianguo said to him: "You just waste money!" ”

"Dad, you're wrong, this money should be spent." Cao Shujie was full of reasons, he said: "We have to make the guests who come from afar feel at home, otherwise people will come, and after picking, they will sweat in the heat again, do you think they are willing to come next time?" ”

Before Cao Jianguo could speak, Cao Shujie continued to chatter: "Even if they are willing to come, they will definitely hesitate in their hearts, we must avoid this situation in advance." ”

Cao Jianguo was finally persuaded by his son, so much so that he also felt that the money should be spent, and he had to let people build the house as soon as possible.

I don't feel anything about it, but when my son says it, he also feels hot and sweaty, and a little dizzy!

……

Zheng Huapeng picked 38 catties of kiwifruit from Cao Shujie a few days ago, and after returning home, he began to ripen some of them.

Three days later, the ripe kiwifruit softened with a pinch of the hand, and there was a feeling of juice flowing out, his wife She Wencui and daughter Zheng Mengfeng ate openly this time, and the family of three directly killed a small pot of kiwifruit, and the stomach was round, but it still felt that it was not enough.

Zheng Mengfeng said: "Dad, why don't I wait for Saturday to send some to grandpa and grandma." ”

"They are older, and they are not very chewy when they eat other fruits, I don't think there is a problem at all with eating kiwifruit, and they can also supplement vitamin C, what do you say?" Zheng Mengfeng asked her father.

Of course, Zheng Huapeng agreed to his daughter's proposal, but his parents sent it here, and his parents-in-law also sent it, so it was not okay to favor one over the other.

In this way, Zheng Huapeng felt that the kiwifruit he bought was not enough.

After thinking about it again and again, while his wife was resting again on Saturday, Zheng Huapeng took his wife and daughter to Cao Shujie's orchard again for the second time, and this time he was going to get more.

Kiwifruit, the old man eats it is good for his body, and he thinks that the kiwifruit grown in Cao Shujie's orchard tastes really good, and there is a long-lost fruity fragrance.

Driving up and parking the car on the parking platform, Zheng Huapeng and his family of three got out of the car and saw Cao Shujie and the two of them standing at the gate of the orchard.

There is also a large parasol on the ground, a table under the parasol, a few chairs, and two electronic scales.

"Boss Cao, I'm here again." After Zheng Huapeng came over, he first said hello to Cao Shujie.

"Mr. Zheng, are you done eating?" Cao Shujie thought it was incredible, he remembered very clearly that when Zheng Huapeng came last time, he took off more than 30 catties.

Then I heard Zheng Huapeng say: "I haven't finished eating yet, but I want to give some to the old people in the family, I didn't buy enough last time." ”

Cao Shujie thought in his heart that this is really a rich master, and last time he bought thousands of handfuls of fruits, he didn't take it seriously.

He didn't delay Zheng Huapeng's time, and said to him: "Mr. Zheng, while it's cool now, you finish picking first, and we'll talk later." ”

"Okay, let's go over and pick first, we'll talk later." Zheng Huapeng took his wife and children, each holding a red plastic bucket, into the depths of the orchard, and began to pick kiwifruit.

Cao Shujie continued to chat with his wife, and as he spoke, he heard the roar of a car slamming on the accelerator at the foot of the mountain.

At this time, Cao Shujie realized one thing: "Wife, our parking platform seems to be a little small." ”

"When it was first built, who knew it would be like this?" Cheng Xiaolin was also speechless.

She didn't even expect that one day the parking platform might not be enough!

Cao Shujie chattered: "Now there is no way, I can only wait for this batch of kiwifruit and apples to be sold out, and then find someone to continue the expansion." ”

"It's such a big place, where do you think you can expand?" Cheng Xiaolin pointed to the orchard and asked her husband.

"You can't pull out the fruit trees that have already been planted and harden the land, right?"

Cao Shujie thought about it for a while before he said: "When I'm done with this period of time, I'll go find Cao Jiangang, the village party secretary, and ask him to see how to build a parking lot nearby." ”

Cheng Xiaolin knew what her husband meant, but because of this, Cheng Xiaolin felt unlikely, and said to him: "Why is your face so big." ”

"I've got bigger ones, can you try them!" Cao Shujie replied to her wife.

Cheng Xiaolin raised her foot and wanted to kick her husband.

Cao Shujie thought in his heart, this girl is just indebted.

By 10 o'clock in the morning, the number of people who came gradually increased.

Most of these people responded through 'word of mouth', or the customers recruited by Cao Shujie when he went to various places to distribute kiwifruit for free, and the number of people added up to a lot.

He didn't expect to produce explosive sales figures today, he knew very well in his heart that he just needed to sell steadily.

After all, there are only more than 20,000 catties of kiwifruit in the orchard, and they are gone when they are sold out!

"Hello, is it Boss Cao?" When Cao Shujie was weighing people, a middle-aged man in his thirties came over.

Cao Shujie looked at his face and was sure that he didn't know him, so he asked, "I'm Cao Shujie, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Boss Cao, I am a clerk of the Forestry Bureau, my name is Xu Yijiang, and our director arranged for me to come over." Xu Yijiang introduced himself.

Hearing him say this, Cao Shujie temporarily kept his wife busy for a while, he and Xu Yijiang walked to the side and asked him, "Mr. Xu, if you need my help?" ”

"Boss Cao, what's going on?" Xu Yijiang explained the matter roughly.

After Cao Shujie listened to him, he never expected that his orchard could be selected as the location for the team building of the two units of forestry and agriculture.

"Mr. Cao, do we have anything else to eat here besides fruits?" Xu Yijiang asked.

Before he looked for Cao Shujie's 'showdown identity', he had actually walked through Caojiazhuang, but he found that there were no decent restaurants in this village, except for two comprehensive village supermarkets, there was no such configuration at all.

For this reason, he had to identify himself and ask Cao Shujie about the specific situation.

"Mr. Xu, I'm really sorry about this, we don't have a restaurant in Caojiazhuang yet, if you have a demand, you can order food from the town." Cao Shujie said to him.

But Xu Yijiang shook his head: "That's not good, it's inconvenient, and it's not very distinctive." ”

Hearing Xu Yijiang mention the word 'special', Cao Shujie said: "If you want to say that the characteristics are also easy to get, how about I find someone to get a tin bucket stove, burn a big pot here, and cook some whole mutton for you?" ”

"Oops, this is good!" Xu Yijiang never expected to get this bite, he can come up with that picture now, and he is especially looking forward to taking a bite quickly.

"How many of you came?" Cao Shujie asked him.

He can also determine how much mutton and haggis to buy according to the population, or simply ask the boss of Li Jiagen Li in the town to get a whole sheep like the last time he entertained him.

Xu Yijiang thinks it's okay, but they can't just dine on this mountain, won't they be watched by many people at that time, and it will not be good if they cause any bad impact.

This is simple, Cao Shujie said: "It's too hot here, if it doesn't work, go to my house, it's not far anyway." ”

"That's okay, Mr. Cao, let's settle it, I'll go back and reply to Director Lian." Xu Yijiang was about to leave after speaking.

But the problem is that after all that has been said, the most critical thing has not yet been decided.

Cao Shujie took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Xu, how to pay for this payment?" ”

"Payment?" Xu Yijiang slapped himself with his backhand, he 'oops', and said: "Look at my brain, the older I get, the more confused I become, how can I forget such an important thing." ”

Cao Shujie kept looking at him with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, this is not a big deal, in terms of seniority, I have to call you Director Lian an uncle......

Without waiting for Cao Shujie to finish speaking, Xu Yijiang looked at Cao Shujie in a daze, and he asked, "Mr. Cao, do you know our director?" ”

Cao Shujie nodded and said: "If you talk about it from my friend's side, it can be regarded as a bit of kinship, I have to call him uncle, and the eldest son of his family, Lian Qijian, has to call me 'brother'." ”

Xu Yijiang never expected that there would be such a tortuous family relationship, he also put away his little thoughts, and hurriedly said with a smile: "As for the payment, Mr. Cao, just rest assured, we have special funds and cash settlement." ”

"That's fine." Cao Shujie agreed.

Seeing Xu Yijiang walk away, Cao Shujie pondered that if he hadn't shown his 'relationship' just now, today's payment order would really be difficult to discuss.

"It's still not enough, but if I have some strength, why is it like this!" Cao Shujie thought to himself.

On Saturday, I felt that time passed quickly in the busyness, Cao Shujie, Cheng Xiaolin, and Cao Jianguo were busy from morning to afternoon, feeling scorched by the sun, and their bodies were tired and collapsed.

After finishing the work, sorting out the remaining plastic buckets, plastic bags and kiwifruit packaging boxes, Cheng Xiaolin finished the account and found that 724 catties were sold in one day today, and more than 20,000 yuan was recovered.

There is still a big gap from the 1,000 catties that her father-in-law Cao Jianguo said at the beginning, but Cheng Xiaolin also believes that sooner or later she will be able to reach this number.

When he returned home in the evening, Cao Shujie told his wife and parents that the Forestry Bureau and the Agriculture Bureau were going to come to his orchard to carry out team building activities.

"Mom, they will use our place to eat tomorrow, I will call Boss Li in a while and ask him to send a sheep over early tomorrow morning."

"Dad, early tomorrow morning, I have to trouble you to borrow the stove from the tin bucket last time."

As soon as Cao Jianguo heard this, he immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll call and ask later, if it's useless, I'll go and get it early tomorrow morning." ”

Hearing his father say this, Cao Shujie then called Li Jiagen and said that he wanted another whole sheep that had been handled.

This time, Cao Shujie didn't plan to do it himself, he asked Li Jiagen to send the processed sheep directly.

This time, the price naturally could not be calculated according to the price of wool sheep, and Li Jiagen finally told Cao Shujie that according to the settlement of 21 yuan per catty, Li Jiagen earned very little.

On weekend morning, a minibus drove directly to the parking platform of the orchard, and not long after, Lian Xuezhu got out of the car with people.
