The first snow of 2012 was a few days later than usual.

At this time, it is already the end of November, and the year is still coming to an end.

may be very busy this year, or it may be approaching the threshold of 30 years old, Cao Shujie feels that time is not as solid as before, and the water is too much.

Cao Shujie got up early today, originally thinking of going to walk the dog first, and then go to the orchard on the mountain to see the situation.

I got dressed, came out of my bedroom, stood at the window, and looked out, as far as the naked eye could see, everywhere was covered in snow.

The leaves on the tree had fallen clean, and only the bare branches remained, but at this time, the branches were covered with thick white snow, as if they were white flowers in full bloom, which looked particularly beautiful and moving.

Cao Shujie looked south, and the roof of the neighbor's house in front of him was also covered with thick snow, and when he stepped on it, he could submerge his calves, and under the snow, he couldn't find a little variegation.

The goose feathers and snow in the sky are still falling, and I don't know when it will stop.

Cao Shujie came to the courtyard, and the snowflakes fell one after another.

After a while, white flowers were hung on his head, shoulders, and arms, a thin layer, but the snow was increasing, and if he stood there still, I believe that it would not be long before Cao Shujie would be buried as a snowman.

"Shujie, what are you doing standing there, come in quickly, don't catch a cold." Grandpa Cao Zhenghu called him.

"Grandpa, why do you get up so early?"

"I can't sleep, and I still want to get up and walk, but the snow is too big to go out." Cao Zhenghu said.

With such a heavy snowfall, he didn't go out. lest you fall to the ground and cause other trouble, and then cause trouble to your son and grandson.

Cao Shujie heard his grandfather say that he wanted to come out and go around, so he said at that time: "Grandpa. You wait for me to clear the snow, and the snow on the ground will melt before it comes out. ”

"The snow hasn't stopped yet, what's the use of you sweeping it now, it's covered again in a while, come in." Cao Zhenghu shouted to him: "Wait for the snow to stop and then sweep." ”

"Okay, you rest at home, I'll go to the farmhouse to get some beef soup and come back." Cao Shujie said.

His wife and daughter hadn't gotten up yet, Cao Shujie opened the door and went out, originally wanted to walk over, but he almost slipped after walking a few steps, Cao Shujie finally dispelled this idea and drove the LaCrosse over.

When he came to the farmhouse restaurant, looking at the gate open, someone was talking inside, Cao Shujie pulled the car over to the side of the road and walked inside.

When the people from the farmhouse saw the second boss coming, they immediately greeted with a smile.

"Help me weigh three catties of whole beef, add more soup, add less salt, and wrap coriander and chopped green onions in bags separately." Cao Shujie said what he wanted.

"Okay, boss, wait a minute, it'll be right away." Said the worker.

He also asked Cao Shujie if he wanted oil cakes to burn.

"The fire of the sesame grains helped me pack six." Cao Shujie thought about it and asked for something.

Carrying a bag full of whole beef, a bag of beef soup, 6 sesame seeds, plus a small bag of coriander and minced green onions, Cao Shujie paid the money and turned around and walked out.

When driving, Cao Shujie obviously felt that the tires were slipping, and he was not in a hurry, and drove back slowly.

When he got home, his wife had already gotten up and shoveled snow in the yard with a shovel.

When I saw him come in, he said, "Our grandfather just said that you went out to buy beef soup, and I didn't make breakfast." ”

"Oh, wife, look, it's still steaming, it's a little hot, let's eat it while it's hot." Cao Shujie called his wife to eat.

Cao Shujie entered the house and didn't find his daughter, so he asked, "Mengmeng hasn't gotten up yet?" ”

"No, she slept at 10 o'clock last night, and she can't sleep until about 9 o'clock today." Cheng Xiaolin said.

"Leave her alone for now, just give her a small bowl and heat it up later." Cheng Xiaolin said.

Cao Shujie called his grandfather to eat, and went to get the dishes and chopsticks.

He asked for a lot this time, and it was still early, so Cao Shujie called his parents again and asked them to come over for dinner.

When his mother Wang Yuelan and father Cao Jianguo came over, his father saw a pot full of beef soup and said to him: "What do you want to do so much, you can't eat it at all." ”

"Dad, eat slowly, on a snowy day, drink a beef soup, it's warm and comfortable." Cao Shujie said with a smile.

……

After eating, Cao Shujie went to the field, stood on the top of the field and looked into the distance, there was a white expanse everywhere, and he felt a little dazzling after looking at it for a long time.

The kiwi fruit sapling, which had just been planted for two months, was also covered by heavy snow, and I don't know what the situation was.

Cao Shujie squatted down and followed the roots of the kiwi fruit saplings with his hands, ready to pick a few times to see the rooting situation, but the ground was frozen and couldn't move at all.

"Director Cao, what are you busy with?" Someone behind him suddenly greeted him.

Cao Shujie looked back and saw that the person who came was Cao Lei, who was also one of the 14 fruit farmers who had planted kiwifruit in Caojiazhuang before.

"I'm thinking about seeing how well fruit saplings take root, and if the snow is so heavy, if the roots are shallow, these fruit saplings will freeze to death."

Cao Shujie knocked on the ground and said: "The soil is frozen, and I can't move at all." ”

"Director Cao and I want to go together, and I'll come over to have a look." Cao Lei carried a pointed pout, and he said: "Director Cao, let me, I'll dig twice and see the situation below." ”

Cao Shujie pointed to a fruit tree sapling to get out of the way, watched Cao Lei wave his pout, and dug up the soil in two clicks.

The two of them squatted on the ground together, close to the roots of the fruit saplings and looked closely.

Seeing that the fruit tree saplings were still digging under the pit, Cao Shujie was relieved.

He hurriedly smashed the soil he had just dug up and buried it back.

"It's good, when the snow clears, these fruit saplings will grow better next year." Cao Shujie's face was full of joy from the heart.

Cao Lei was in a similar mood to him, he was worried that these fruit tree seedlings might not be frost-resistant, but now he is relieved.

didn't bother to go into his field again, took out a cigarette from his body, tore a square hole on the top of the cigarette box, flicked the other side of the cigarette box with his fingers, and popped a few cigarettes.

He handed the cigarette to Cao Shujie: "Director Cao, it's not a good cigarette, don't dislike it." ”

"What a good cigarette, thank you." Cao Shujie took the cigarette, and Cao Lei helped him light it slipperyly.

The two of them were in the ice and snow, facing the snowflakes falling from the sky, smoking cigarettes, and began to chat.

Cao Lei didn't really have much contact with Cao Shujie, he always thought that a young and successful person like Cao Shujie must have his arrogance, and he couldn't talk to ordinary people like them.

But chatting today, Cao Lei knew that his idea was very wrong, this village director who was one round younger than him was very good at chatting, and it seemed that he could talk to anyone.

Cao Shujie also shared with him a lot of his own experience and ideas, as well as his plans for the future of Caojiazhuang.

Cao Lei, an authentic fruit farmer, never thought of planting an orchard and so many ways.

As Director Cao just said, scientific planting, scientific management, and even in the near future, there will be intelligent management and intelligent irrigation.

From the management of people to the management of robots.

Including fruit sales in the later stage, diversified channel sales and so on.

and even the deep processing of fruit products in the future.

Cao Shujie said: "If we can do the steps I just said step by step in the next 10 years, then no problem will become a problem, you just need to plant orchards boldly and boldly, plant more orchards, I am afraid that our shelves will be set up at that time, but the raw materials will not be enough." ”

"It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice!" Cao Shujie looked into the distance, and his tone was preoccupied.

Cao Lei never thought about it so long-term, and when he heard Cao Shujie's words, it was like a magical key with magic power, which suddenly opened Cao Lei's vision and made him have an epiphany in an instant.

After Cao Lei returned from the field, he said that they were just growing fruits now, but they also had a more brilliant future.

also said that Cao Shujie's four stages are the Tao.

After listening to it, some people said that he was whimsical, saying that they were just a kiwi grower, what scientific management, robot planting, etc., isn't this all fantasy?

But Cao Lei said that these were all thought up by Director Cao, and Director Cao told him personally, and those who refuted Cao Lei's 'daydreaming' before were smart not to speak.

Some people even complained that Cao Lei didn't say it was Director Cao's plan at the beginning, if they had known that this was Director Cao's plan, they would definitely not think it was unrealistic!

After all, Director Cao has already done a lot of things that they find incredible.

After Cao Shujie and Cao Lei separated, he went to other places and didn't find any problems, so he returned to the village.

At the foot of the mountain, walk slowly up the road up the mountain.

A road had been swept out of the middle of the road, and Cao Shujie thought that it should be Cao Shuchao and a few of them who did the work.

Sure enough, after coming to the mountain, Cao Shuchao and the others continued to clear the snow, and when they saw Cao Shujie coming, they all greeted him one by one.

"Brother Chao, how is it over here?" Cao Shujie asked him.

"Shujie, don't worry, there's nothing going on here." Cao Shuchao said with great confidence.

After two years of continuous transformation and upgrading, this orchard is already very mature, whether it is planted or raised.

In terms of infrastructure construction, we have also done a very thorough job, and we don't worry about problems at all.

Cao Shujie went to the orchard for a turn.

In the original old orchard, all the old kiwi trees and apple trees were cut down and sold to the farmer's rice to be used as fruit wood barbecue, 100% pure fruit wood.

Now they are all newly planted kiwifruit and apple saplings, which are actually growing better than those planted by farmers because they have been watered with nutrient solution.

After reading this, Cao Shujie went to the 50-acre orchard in the east to take a look, and then went to see the growth of strawberries.

The temperature has plummeted, but the strawberry plants are still thriving.

Cao Shujie thought that by the end of March next year, these strawberries would give him a bumper harvest again, and there was a bright smile on his face that could not be concealed.

It's all money.

Cao Shujie is a layman, and in this regard, he is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and he also hopes that his pocket is bulging.

Thinking about the strawberry harvest next year, Cao Shujie unconsciously came to the deer park, looking at the sika deer jumping more happily in the snow, Cao Shujie's heart also became happy.

When he bought them, these deer were very small, but after half a year of reasonable feeding, these deer grew very fast, and Cao Shujie pondered that starting next year, they would be able to bring benefits to themselves.

Whether it's a doe giving birth to a fawn, or a male deer's antler harvest, or deer blood, it's all good and can generate great economic value.

It's just that Cao Shujie has just started to do it here, and maybe the manager doesn't realize it so quickly.

"Moo!"

"Moo, moo!"

In the breeding area to the north, the sound of cattle is heard one after another.

Cao Shujie stood in place, staring at the situation over there.

The 136 cattle bought at the beginning of the year are now grown up and close to the standard of slaughtered cattle.

The 100 calves bought after Labor Day in May are not small now.

The 10 cows were fed by Cao Shuchao and they were very well-proportioned, and Cao Shujie was preparing to contact the bulls for breeding.

Everything is moving in a good direction.

Not surprisingly, next year will be better than this year, and more revenue will be made.

I was thinking about going to the farm in the south to see what was going on over there when the mobile phone in my down jacket rang.

Cao Shujie was still puzzled who called him at this time, and when he took it out, he saw that it was his wife calling.

Thinking that something was wrong at home, Cao Shujie answered the phone in a hurry.

"Wife, what's wrong?" Cao Shujie asked her.

Cheng Xiaolin's anxious voice came: "Husband, something is wrong, come back quickly." ”

"What?" Cao Shujie was so frightened that he almost jumped up.

His grandfather fell?

Or did Meng Meng fall?

"Come back quickly, I just uploaded the edited video to Youku, and I accidentally saw a news report saying that Bitcoin production will be halved today." Cheng Xiaolin said anxiously.

"Oh, that's starting to halve." Cao Shujie said: "I'll go back in a while." ”

November 28, 12, was a memorable day for many people who played Bitcoin, and it was the first time that Bitcoin production has been reduced since its inception.

Some professionals have done data analysis, before this time the production reduction, about 7,500 to 8,000 new BTC appeared every day, but when new blocks appear after today, the daily output is only half of the previous one.

The current price of a single coin is $13, which has slowly fallen from the previous few months and rebounded again after hitting the bottom.

There are many people who predict on the Internet that this production cut will allow the price of a single coin of Bitcoin to break through the previous high and create a new high again.

But some people say that this kind of thinking is a fool's dream, and the yin and yang are weird to say that the reason why Bitcoin has reduced production is that it is already over, and the people who put forward this argument want to get rich and want to go crazy.

When Cao Shujie came down from the mountain and walked home, he was also thinking about the intention of reducing the production of Bitcoin, but he was not a professional, he was purely playing soy sauce, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

After coming to the house, Cao Shujie found that his wife was standing on the second floor, and when he saw him come in, Cheng Xiaolin beckoned to him and motioned him to hurry upstairs.

When Cao Shujie was about to go upstairs, he saw his grandfather and Mengmeng playing there on the first floor, and he also said hello to them, but no one paid attention to him, whether it was grandpa or Mengmeng, which made Cao Shujie very frustrated.
