Seeing the well-organized orchard in front of him, Lian Xuezhu really didn't expect that Caojiazhuang would have such a good place.

His sister and brother-in-law's house were here, and he came here at least two or three times a year, but he had never heard his sister and brother-in-law mention this place.

Then it's likely that it was only recently built.

He thought of the young man his nephew had brought to him, and that time he was applying for a subsidy.

It's been a long time, it's not a big deal, and he can't remember the specific details.

Liu Wansong, director of the Pingyuan County Agricultural Bureau, also got off the bus.

Seeing the open mountain in front of him and the vitality of the fruit tree saplings planted in the mountain made him feel very happy.

"What a place!" Liu Wansong followed and said.

After standing in place and looking around, he turned his head to look at Lian Xuezhu, and said with a smile: "Lao Lian, how did you find such a good place." ”

"You may not believe it, but this is the place provided by my unsuccessful son, let's go and have a look." Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong walked towards the gate of the orchard together.

Cao Shujie and his wife were weighing the customers at the door after picking, and they also saw Lian Xuezhu and their party.

After weighing the waiting customers, Cao Shujie explained to his wife and asked her to be busy first, and his father Cao Jianguo also took care of him from the side, and Cao Shujie walked towards Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong.

On this kind of formal occasion, Cao Shujie didn't climb relatives anymore, and was thinking about shouting 'Director Lian', Lian Xuezhu seemed to see through his thoughts, and waved his hand slightly: "Xiao Cao, just be busy, let's see for ourselves." ”

"Huh!" Cao Shujie nodded in response.

Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong, plus more than a dozen people from the two units behind, walked in together.

When passing by the door, Lian Xuezhu looked at Cao Jianguo, recognized him, and asked with a look of surprise: "Brother Jianguo, why are you here?" ”

"Oh, Brother Xuezhu, why are you." Cao Jianguo turned his head and noticed Lian Xuezhu.

Cao Shujie and Cao Zhen's family are close, and the relationship between the two families is good, every time Lian Xuezhu comes to Caojiazhuang to see his sister, when eating, as long as Cao Jianguo is at home, he must ask him to go over and drink some together.

"This is my son's orchard, he's busy here these days, and I've come to help him." Cao Jianguo said.

Hearing him say this, Lian Xuezhu said 'oops': "Brother Jianguo, Xiao Cao is the boss of your family, I haven't seen it yet, and I haven't matched the number yet, you can see what happened to you." ”

Cao Shujie has hardly been at home since he was in high school, Lian Xuezhu has no impression of him, and his nephew didn't give him details, so that Lian Xuezhu didn't know that Cao Shujie was the son of his old friend.

When Cao Shujie saw this step, he had to sigh that his father had a broad look.

But at the same time, I also think that there are many conveniences that are not available outside at home!

Just for today's relationship, he will apply for things in the policy later, can anyone make it difficult?

Xu Yijiang, who came over yesterday, saw this scene and broke out in a cold sweat, and he was also glad: "Fortunately, I didn't talk nonsense yesterday." ”

Lian Xuezhu and Cao Jianguo, two old friends, exchanged pleasantries, and had business, Lian Xuezhu said: "Brother Jianguo, I'll have a drink with you when I'm not busy at noon." ”

"Okay, you go in." As Cao Jianguo spoke, he handed over some plastic buckets and bags.

When the clerk Xu Yijiang saw it, he hurriedly took it and took it.

Waiting for Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong and their group to enter, a young man who walked at the end shouted to Cao Shujie: "Brother Jie, I'm here again." ”

Cao Shujie was also a little surprised when he saw him: "Qijian, why are you here?" ”

"Brother Jie, how is it, the big deal I introduced to you!" Lian Qijian pointed to his father and his party with a little pride, and said proudly.

When Cao Shujie heard him say this, he finally understood that there was still this reason for his feelings.

Inside the orchard, Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong walked inward together, and everywhere they saw were kiwi trees full of fruits, and there were many people in the depths of the orchard holding small red buckets or carrying plastic bags for kiwifruit.

Looking at this bumper harvest scene, Lian Xuezhu was very pleased, as if he had seen his outstanding juniors make achievements.

Liu Wansong is not a person who does not learn and does not know how to learn, on the contrary, he has some ability.

Seeing the kiwi tree in front of him full of fruits, and they were plump, uniform in size, clean and refreshing in the skin, and full of fruity fragrance, he sighed: "This place has a level." ”

"Lao Liu, what do you think?" Lian Xuezhu is a pure layman for this, and he can't see the doorway.

Liu Wansong pointed to this orchard and said: "According to common sense, kiwifruit is not yet the time for large-scale fruiting to be marketed, but this orchard grows very well, and most of them meet the standard of first-class fruits." ”

"Lao Lian, with these two points, this person who has planted a garden is not simple!" Liu Wansong praised sincerely.

Lian Xuezhu could see that he was not deliberately pretentious, and he was even happier in his heart.

The son of an old friend has the ability, which makes him feel that his face also shines.

He turned to look at the crowd behind him and said, "Xiao Wu, you go and call Xiao Cao over, just say that I have something to look for him." ”

"Yes!" The young man known as 'Xiao Wu' hurriedly ran towards the gate.

Lian Xuezhu saw that everyone else was standing behind them, and he didn't move, waved his hand and said: "It's all here, you go and pick it, don't all stand together, you still think what we are doing, and then affect other people's business." ”

When more than a dozen people heard Lian Xuezhu's words, they immediately dispersed, each holding a plastic bucket or a plastic bag, and entered the old orchard to start picking.

Anyway, today is the unit to pay, the opportunity is rare, just take the opportunity to pick more.

After Cao Shujie followed 'Xiao Wu' over, he shouted: "Director Lian, are you looking for me?" ”

"Don't be Director Lian, Xiao Cao, I have to say a few words to you, why didn't you tell me earlier that your father is Brother Jianguo, and then follow Zhenzhen to call my uncle." Lian Xuezhu took the initiative to say.

"Yes, uncle." Cao Shujie was also happy.

Lian Xuezhu also looks at the capable juniors differently.

Liu Wansong saw this scene and did not interrupt them.

After Lian Xuezhu and Cao Shujie finished talking, he asked, "Xiao Cao, what did you do before?" Is it the one who has always planted fruit trees? ”

Cao Shujie didn't know him, but Lian Xuezhu introduced Liu Wansong and said to Cao Shujie: "You just call him Uncle Liu, you can't suffer a loss." ”

Knowing that the other party was the head of the Pingyuan County Agricultural Bureau, needless to say, Cao Shujie understood in his heart: "Uncle Liu." ”

Liu Wansong didn't care about these details, and he acquiesced.

He kept looking at Cao Shujie, as if he was more interested in his experience.

Cao Shujie continued: "I used to work at the Beijing Institute of Agricultural Sciences, and I just quit my job there at the beginning of this year and came back to contract the mountains and plant this orchard. ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the fruit saplings on the east side and said: "You two, there are new fruit saplings just planted this year, and the old orchard that bears fruit here used to be planted by my parents, and I am now taking over." ”

"You used to work at the Beijing Institute of Agricultural Sciences?" Liu Wansong seemed to know this place, and he was particularly interested: "Then why did you quit your job there?" ”

"As far as I know, the work treatment and benefits over there are still very good."

"Uncle Liu, I won't tell you, I used to work in a subsidiary of the Beijing Institute of Agricultural Sciences, mainly engaged in the promotion of the growth of agricultural crops, I was too tired over there, there was no white or black, and my parents were old, I wanted to accompany them more......"

With his narration, Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong had a clearer outline in their minds, and they also thought that Cao Shujie was still a dutiful son.

It's even better for his senses.

"You made all the improvements to the fruit trees here?" Liu Wansong is very interested in this.

Cao Shujie nodded: "I spent a lot of money to improve it, and the cost is there, otherwise it wouldn't be so expensive." ”

"Can you promote this technology?" Liu Wansong asked him.

Cao Shujie said regretfully: "Uncle Liu, it's not that I'm sweeping myself, it's that I'm in the initial stage of research now, many things are immature, I'm also researching and implementing at the same time, and I can't say what the final result is, if you want to promote it on a large scale, it will take 5 to 10 years." ”

"Alas!" Liu Wansong sighed, he said: "As I thought, the key is to look at the person, Xiao Cao, you must continue to study, this is a great thing for the present and the future." ”

"......" Cao Shujie didn't answer, this hat was too big, he couldn't bear it.

He just wanted to accompany his parents to grow old, watch his daughter grow up, and then accompany his wife to watch the sunrise and sunset. It's not romantic, it's just ordinary life!

Lian Xuezhu interjected and asked, "Xiao Cao, from your point of view, what do you think is the most lacking in agricultural economic development?" ”

"Agricultural development?" Cao Shujie was stunned for a moment, and saw that Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong were both staring at him, and then said: "It's hard to say, but my personal understanding is to simply classify three aspects." ”

"Lack of money, lack of technology, lack of market."

"First, most farmers don't have money, so they can't form a scale of planting, and it's useless to plant a star."

"Second, most farmers do not have systematic planting technology, only with years of planting experience, theoretically speaking, it is able to cope with most normal situations, but it is difficult to seek breakthroughs and development on this basis."

For what he said, Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong have a deep understanding.

If nothing else, there is a living example in front of me.

Why did Cao Shujie run the orchard so prosperously?

He has technical reserves, also has the ability to operate, he has the idea and ability to make breakthroughs in research, and he also has relatively perfect ideas, but most ordinary farmers do not have this condition!

"What about the third one you just mentioned?" Liu Wansong asked urgently.

Cao Shujie thought for a moment before saying: "After hard work to grow fruits, we have to face the variability of the market, and in the end it is very likely that we will not be able to sell at a price......

Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong were silent after listening to him, their hearts were very heavy, and they knew very well that the last point that Cao Shujie said was the most deadly.

Obviously, last year's purchase price was one or two yuan, or even two or three yuan, but this year, due to market factors, it immediately became a few cents, and the majority of planting farmers can't even recover the cost, who can stand this blow!

Lian Xuezhu asked him: "Xiao Cao, do you have any solution?" ”

Cao Shujie shook his head, he was very sincere: "I don't have either." ”

The market is a huge machine, an invisible crocodile, which small miscellaneous fish is he, this is a matter at the national level, he just needs to do his best.

Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong chatted with Cao Shujie, and each took a small bucket into the orchard to pick kiwifruit.

Really picked the fruit in their hands, put it under their noses and smelled the fragrance, and the two of them had a deeper understanding.

Liu Wansong took a deep breath and said with emotion: "Lao Lian, you know, this is the taste of fruit I ate when I was a child, it is so fragrant." ”

When it was almost noon, they went to Cao Shujie's house to eat boiled whole sheep.

A large pot of whole lamb is tumbling in the boiling soup pot, and the aroma is blowing in the face.

There is also a small pot of watery coriander, chopped green onions, salt, pepper noodles, chili peppers, cumin, five-spice noodles and other seasonings.

The most delicious food often has the simplest food.

Lian Xuezhu didn't forget to pull Cao Jianguo for a drink in the end.

After sending them away, Cao Shujie returned to the mountain.

When Cheng Xiaolin saw him, she also asked him: "Shujie, are they all gone?" ”

"Gone, how's it going, how many did they pick? Did you give money? Cao Shujie asked.

He values these tangible things more than ethereal promises.

Who knows when those so-called policies will come down?

Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "You are really interesting, the person surnamed Xu will give money when he leaves." ”

"How many did they pick in total?" Cao Shujie was quite curious.

Cheng Xiaolin showed him the account book and said: "They picked a lot, a total of 411 catties, plus the sheep, I collected a total of 13,000 yuan, and I didn't ask for a fraction." ”

"Okay, it's all cost price." Cao Shujie said so.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't bother to take care of him, and there were still people coming over in the afternoon, and they continued to be busy.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, no one came, Cao Shujie and the two of them began to settle accounts, in addition to Lian Xuezhu and them, they also sold 1132 catties, achieving the biggest breakthrough since the opening of the park.

On this day, their gross income was 43,204 yuan.

When he saw this number, Cao Jianguo was feeling that he was really old.

The son's sales on this day can catch up with half of his gross income in the previous season.

Cao Jianguo had a feeling of being quite old in his heart.

But when he thought that this was the result of his son's completion, he was happy and proud!

For the next two weeks, some scattered guests came to pick kiwifruit every day, and Cao Shujie's orchard also spread in a small area.

In addition to Lian Xuezhu and them coming over for team building, even the town's rural commercial banks also came over to engage in team building.

At that moment, Cao Shujie was full of pride and felt that the prospects were broad.
