Chapter 457: Brewing Fruit Wine (7100/10,000)
After hanging up the phone, thinking that his daughter also said that she missed him on the phone just now, Cao Shujie couldn't wait for a pair of wings to fly over.
But he also has a lot of work to do.
"Hurry up and get busy, maybe the two of them will come back." Cao Shujie thought to himself.
When he went out, he said hello to his grandfather, Cao Shujie came to the orchard on the mountain, and as soon as he came in, he saw Zhuang Xuesong cleaning at the door.
Cao Shujie also shouted Master Zhuang.
"Boss, you're here."
Cao Shujie pointed to the new orchard and said to Zhuang Xuesong: "I'll come over to see how the kiwi and apples grow." ”
"It's good, there are very few pests and diseases." Zhuang Xuesong said to Cao Shujie.
The yellow-hearted kiwifruit and red-hearted kiwifruit planted the year before last are about to be harvested, and no one dares to take it lightly at this time.
Cao Shuchao arranged for people to go over to inspect every day.
Cao Shujie and Zhuang Xuesong separated and walked towards the orchard.
There are a total of 57 acres of land here, of which more than 30 acres are yellow and red kiwifruit, and the remaining 20 acres are planted apples.
When Cao Shujie came over, he saw that the kiwi fruit tree was full of fruit.
One after another kiwi hung on the branches and drooped down, looking very pleasing to the eye.
The more Cao Shujie looked at it, the more he liked it, and he couldn't wait for more fruit on the fruit tree.
After watching the edge of the orchard for a while, Cao Shujie walked towards the orchard again.
At this time, the size of the kiwi fruit was still growing rapidly, and Cao Shujie measured it with his hand, and it was still a little short of the standard of A-grade fruit, not to mention the special fruit.
However, there is still time, and according to the experience of previous years, the kiwifruit he planted generally does not ripen until the end of July and the beginning of August.
It's still a little over a month from now.
After taking a turn in the orchard, Cao Shujie came to the apple park again.
The fruit trees are not very tall, and there are small green apples hanging from the branches.
Like the previous apples, Cao Shujie did not choose to bag, he used scientific management methods and increased nutrient solutions to make these apples grow more evenly and receive light for a longer time.
So far, at least, there have been no infestations or uneven size of these trees.
And look at the epidermis is smooth, and it looks very attractive
Turning out of the orchard, the morning passed.
I saw that there were still people picking strawberries on the other side of the strawberry field, but there were not many strawberries left.
This batch of strawberry seedlings should be removed after fruiting and replanted with new ones.
For the benefits brought by strawberries, Cao Shujie is very satisfied.
I happened to meet Cao Shuchao who was busy here.
The two chatted for a while, and Cao Shuchao told Cao Shujie that these strawberries would be finished in half a month, and this year's fruiting period was longer than last year's.
"I'll taste it." Cao Shujie saw a half-red fruit hanging on the strawberry next to him, so he stretched out his hand and pulled it off and put it in his mouth to taste it slowly.
There is still a gap between the taste and the first fruit, and the taste is not as good as before.
After Cao Shujie finished eating this strawberry, he pondered for a while before saying to Cao Shuchao: "Brother Chao, inform me, after this week, the strawberries will not be picked here, let's finish picking the remaining strawberries and give a part to the villagers." ”
"Why? How much can you pick left? Cao Shuchao was a little anxious.
It's all money, is Shujie busy and dizzy?
But Cao Shujie said to him: "The taste is almost something, the worse the taste gets in the future, that kind of strawberry can't be sold, and we can't smash our own brand." ”
Hearing Cao Shujie say this, Cao Shuchao suddenly realized, he also picked a strawberry and threw it into his mouth, and the taste was much worse than before.
But when he thought that according to Cao Shujie, he would stop picking next week, so that he would earn tens of thousands of yuan less, Cao Shuchao still felt painful.
Cao Shujie looked at the remaining strawberry fruits in the strawberry field, and he suddenly asked Cao Shuchao: "Brother Chao, can you make fruit wine?" ”
"You mean to make wine from these strawberries?" Cao Shuchao asked him.
Seeing Cao Shujie nodding, Cao Shuchao said: "It should be possible to make wine, but I won't, I'll find someone to ask." ”
"Okay, if you can make sake, let's make all the strawberries that are left over into sake and store them." Cao Shujie still remembered that he promised those buddies during the Spring Festival this year that he would not drink any Moutai Wuliangye in the coming year, and he would personally make fruit wine to drink.
These strawberries taste a little worse, but the sake brewing is absolutely fine.
Including kiwis and apples from his orchard.
Cao Shujie was still wondering whether to make some kiwi juice and apple cider vinegar.
"That's all good stuff." Cao Shujie muttered to himself.
Cao Shuchao also heard it, and he asked Cao Shujie directly: "Shujie, do you want to open a separate workshop in the factory and specialize in making fruit wine." ”
Cao Shujie was stunned for a moment when he heard it, and pondered carefully, Cao Shuchao's idea was indeed constructive.
However, whether it is fruit wine or beverages, the investment in equipment in this area is not less than now.
He thinks that it is better to use this plan as a backup, first install the equipment that has been set at this stage, and then talk about mass production.
Otherwise, this mountain looks at that mountain and looks high, and in the end nothing can be done.
Seeing that Cao Shujie didn't respond, Cao Shuchao didn't say anything more.
The two of them walked north together and saw the sika deer in the deer park that became lively again.
The heads of the stags that had been cut off their antlers began to show small antlers again.
Cao Shujie calculated that he could cut the second stubble again in late August, and this time he said that he would not be in a hurry to sell the antler velvet, and after dealing with it, he would hoard it for the family to eat.
Cao Shujie even thought that there would be new deer in the coming year, and when the antlers were cut, all the antlers with stubble and two bars should be left behind and not sold at all.
……
Coming down from the mountain, Cao Shujie circled around the orchards on the outskirts of Caojiazhuang.
It has been more than half a year since I planted it last fall.
Coupled with adequate water and basal fertilizer, these fruit tree seedlings are growing well.
Cao Shujie entered the orchard, saw someone cutting some bad branches with scissors, said hello to the other party, and watched him operate for a while to make sure there was no problem, and then left and continued to look at other places.
When many people saw Cao Shujie, they all called Director Cao and greeted him.
The day was spent in a busy one.
Cao Shujie didn't go home to eat at noon, and when he came home in the evening, he was hungry and uncomfortable.
As soon as he entered the door and saw his mother, he asked if there was anything else to eat.
"Call you at noon, you said you wouldn't come back to eat, you kid!" Wang Yuelan saw his son and muttered a few words.
For Wang Yuelan, Cao Shujie is a child in her eyes, no matter how old she is.
She went back to the kitchen and found two cucumbers: "You eat it first, kill a chicken, and then it will be stewed." ”
"Mom, is my sister about to go on summer vacation?" Cao Shujie asked.
Wang Yuelan nodded, and she said, "Your sister is indeed about to have a summer vacation, but she said that she will not come back this summer, and she will go out for a walk after the holiday." ”
"Where is she going?" Cao Shujie asked casually.
But Wang Yuelan didn't know: "Anyway, your sister said that she might not have time to go out after work, so take a look in advance." ”
"I'll give her another 5,000 yuan."
Cao Shujie didn't care, he felt that the 5,000 yuan might not be enough.
"I'll take the time to go to the city and send her some money when the time comes." That's what Cao Shujie said.
Wang Yuelan said: "No need, your sister still has some money, enough for her to spend." ”
Regarding his mother's statement, Cao Shujie felt that it was not advisable.
Even if his sister had no money in her pocket, she didn't open her mouth to ask him for it now, as she used to.
When I'm older, I know that I want to be faced.
……
Thinking that yesterday I had set a time with Wang Jianhua, the general manager of the county construction company, and met in the factory tomorrow to talk about the construction.
After Cao Shujie got up early in the morning on the second day and walked the dog, he didn't even eat breakfast, so he drove to the town.
When he came over, Cao Shulin was cleaning with 4 people, and Wang Jianhua's people hadn't arrived yet.
Cao Shujie was not in a hurry, and waited slowly in the factory.
Cao Shulin saw Cao Shujie coming over again, and he knew that this time it was really going to be constructed.
"Shujie, are we going to build?" He asked.
Cao Shujie nodded: "I contacted the county construction company, and they sent someone to take a look at the workshop site today, and started construction after determining the direction according to the drawings." ”
Cao Shulin was full of joy.
A few people next to him were also very happy.
Cleaning in the factory every day, at first it was nothing, and the longer it went on, the more uncertain they became.
Now, the boss personally said that he would immediately construct the workshop, which also means that mass production is not far away, and they will be more at ease if they have work to do.
People from the county construction company came over at 9:40 a.m.
What Cao Shujie didn't expect was that the person who led the team turned out to be Wang Jianhua, the general manager.
He came over in person, making Cao Shujie's impression of him suddenly take a 180-degree turn.
"Mr. Wang, why do you still run in person." Cao Shujie went over and shook his hand.
Wang Jianhua also held Cao Shujie's hand and said with a smile: "I came over in advance to recognize the door, I am still waiting for Boss Cao to expand the scale of business, and we must not forget our Pingyuan County Construction Company when the time comes." ”
"Mr. Wang, don't worry, if there is any more construction, it will be you." Cao Shujie also expressed his position.
To put it bluntly, this thing is to compare hearts with hearts.
Although people mainly sell the face of Lian Xuezhu, Cao Shujie also knows that the relationship is all dealt with.
Is it impossible for Lian Xuezhu to retire in a few years, and these relationships will be gone?
From the very beginning, Cao Shujie has been deliberately managing these relationships.
Including those people he knew through him when he just came back from the capital, Cao Zhen has not cut off contact with them in the past two years, and he will make a phone call every New Year's holiday.
When the fruits in the orchard are ripe, Cao Shujie will send them some.
"Boss Cao, take the drawings, let's take a look at the construction in combination with the workshop site." Wang Jianhua is quite crisp.
Cao Shujie brought the drawings rolled into bundles from his car.
Wang Jianhua took it and handed it to a middle-aged man beside him who looked forty or fifty years old: "Li Gong, take a look at what to do." ”
"Okay." This middle-aged man named Li Mingbo simply agreed neatly.
