Chapter 20 Fifteen days, let Zhang Hu do it with me
"Don't worry."
Wang Ailian showed a mysterious smile.
After walking far away and coming to a place with few people, Wang Ailian said with some hatred:
"Let me ask you, isn't Lu Tao going to harvest this grass? Let's take a look at what Lu Tao is used for. Is it really possible to make money, or is it fake, what if Lu Tao was also deceived by others? In these years, there are many liars. ”
"Besides, how could he have so much money. Anyway, didn't you ask Zhu Mazi to go to Lu Tao to ask for money? Could it be that Lu Tao has paid it back? ”
When Wang Jikun heard this, he immediately replied: "No, I went with me last time, Su Yuqing was so frightened that her face turned white, how could she be on it." ”
Wang Ailian clapped her hands, looked like a matter of course, and said in a deep voice: "Isn't that over!" Let me ask you, if Lu Tao didn't pay back the money, he would spend money here vigorously, who disagrees the most, is it Zhu Mazi? Isn't this equivalent to Lu Tao taking Zhu Mazi's money and collecting this weed? ”
At the same time, Wang Ailian also said smartly: "I guess Lu Tao deliberately collected this useless weed, so that the people in our village are grateful to him, so that we can unite the people in the village to deal with Zhu Mazi together." ”
"Oooh! Mom, what do you mean, I went to Zhu Mazi and asked Zhu Mazi to solve Lu Tao? Wang Jikun was able to react at this time.
"That's right! Clever! ”
Although Wang Jikun's reaction was a beat slower, Wang Ailian still praised her child for being smart.
"Then I'll go to Zhu Mazi again tomorrow morning!"
Wang Jikun nodded again and again, his heart blossomed, and he felt that he was a genius.
And at this time, at the door of Lu Tao's house.
After Lu Tao successfully used these anxious villagers to drive Wang Ailian away.
The rest went well, and he quickly finished all the gynostemma.
According to statistics, I collected nearly 400 catties in one night today.
Lu Tao began to clean up the gynostemma, because not all of the villagers collected were gynostemma, and some of them were five-leaf vines.
These two herbs look very similar, but the medicinal effects are very different, so Lu Tao needs to separate them, if he sends the five-leaf vine to Zhou Tieshu, it will definitely bring trouble to Zhou Tieshu.
However, Lu Tao did not teach the villagers how to distinguish between the two herbs.
First, because whether it is a five-leaf rattan or gynostemma, Lu Tao has a way to sell it, which is nothing more than gynostemma can be sold fresh, but the five-leaf vine needs to be dried and sold.
The second is that he also has some selfish motives: in the countryside, this kind of money-making business is in everyone's eyes, and there may be someone who secretly follows you and touches your commercial sales path. After all, this kind of thing is very transparent, as long as you have a little heart to investigate, you can't prevent it at all.
Once they know where they sell it and find Renhetang, even if Zhou Tieshu is grateful to himself and does not accept it.
What if they find the rest of the individuals, they will be forced to participate in a competitive situation of oversupply.
So in order to prevent them from disrupting their main market, Lu Tao decided not to teach the villagers to distinguish by themselves from the beginning.
In the yard.
Su Yuqing stood there with a complicated face at first, but looking at Lu Tao busy there, she thought of Lu Tao just now when she was angry with herself and made Wang Ailian angry, that was a bit majestic.
She also stood silently beside Lu Tao and reached out to help.
It's just that when I saw these gynostemma, I thought that Lu Tao had been taking out the money, and after using so much money, he exchanged it for so much grass, which was really distressing.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I muttered softly there: "What if people don't want to do so much for a while." ”
Coincidentally, Lu Tao happened to hear it, so he smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, don't talk about this, even if it is ten times more, I can sell it." ”
Su Yuqing just wanted to answer, but she thought of the scene where Zhu Mazi came yesterday, and her mood became depressed again, so she closed her mouth and didn't say anything more.
used silence to cover up the complexity and entanglement in his heart.
"Lu Tao!"
Just when Lu Tao wanted to continue to say something close to Su Yuqing, he heard someone calling him softly at the door.
When I looked up, I saw two people, one tall and one short, standing at the door.
Take a closer look, isn't it Jiang Xiuzhu and her son Zhang Hu?
"Aunt Xiuzhu, Zhang Hu, come in and sit!"
Lu Tao immediately got up, wiped his hands on his body, and invited them to come in and sit.
To be honest, if it weren't for Jiang Xiuzhu's help today, he wouldn't have been able to get so much gynostemma.
After all, no matter how much he goes to the village to talk about, he may not be as good as Jiang Xiuzhu to help him talk about it, different people, what they say, everyone's recognition is different.
"Sit, don't sit, I want to ask, do you still collect gynostemma?" Jiang Xiuzhu's face was a little embarrassed: "We, we also have some, we want to sell them to you and make some money." ”
Although Jiang Xiuzhu and their family are the team leaders in the village, to be honest, the conditions are really not good.
Her son Zhang Hu is now in his 20s, but when he was young, because of a fever, he couldn't see it in time, and as a result, his brain burned out, and now he has become a fool.
Over the years, they have spent a lot of money, and they want to take care of Zhang Hu's brain. The smell of Chinese medicine is also heard every day at home.
But the results are always unsatisfactory.
Not only did the money go in a lot, but there was no improvement, Zhang Hu, who was in his twenties, always had a lower intelligence than others.
"Collect! Of course! ”
Lu Tao invited them in with a smile, and at this time, he saw that on Zhang Hu's back, there was a huge basket on his back.
It's full of gynostemma.
"That, Lu Tao, we picked a little too much, because the two of us picked it together, if you don't need so much, it's okay for you to collect a little less."
Jiang Xiuzhu was afraid that there would be too many on her side, which would make Lu Tao embarrassed.
Lu Tao took a brief look and found that their quantity was indeed large, but the quality was much better than Wang Ailian's just now.
Among them are clean, all gynostemma and five-leaf vines.
There are no rest of the weeds and no excess mud.
At first glance, it has been carefully screened.
It seems that in this life, Jiang Xiuzhu is still as reliable as ever.
"These of yours are very good, I want them, I am lacking!" Lu Tao praised without hesitation.
At the same time, he said with a smile: "I also need Aunt Xiuzhu to continue to help me go to the village tomorrow to publicize it." ”
Hearing Lu Tao say that he would go to the village to publicize, Jiang Xiuzhu was relieved.
If you ask for yourself, you shouldn't dislike yourself.
As a result, Zhang Hu was carrying more than 120 pounds of gynostemma on his back.
The point is that he is still not blushing and panting.
"Zhang Hu's physical fitness is really good!" When Lu Tao counted the money for them, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Hehe, I don't have a good brain, but I have a good appetite." Zhang Hu scratched the back of his head and said with a smile.
Jiang Xiuzhu on the side took the money, first thanked Lu Tao for a while, and then sighed, took off the grass residue on his body for Zhang Hu, and sighed mournfully: "Even if you have this strength, there is no place for him." Doing muddy work for others, they still dislike him for mixing concrete well. Hey, I don't know what he's going to do in the future! ”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhang Hu didn't seem to know anything, just thinking about himself and smirking.
At this time, Lu Tao looked at the large pile of gynostemma in front of him, and removed the doped five-leaf vine and various impurities.
At least there are more than 300 catties, and it is really troublesome to pick it up alone tomorrow, and when I collect it, I want to come and go a few more times a day.
But after all, it will take more time, and it will take an hour to go from Dayuan Village to the county seat.
But I saw Zhang Hu in front of me. Lu Tao has a new idea, isn't this Zhang Hu a good help!
People are so strong, when the time comes, help yourself pick it, won't it be a lot easier for yourself.
Moreover, Zhang Hu's father Zhang Jiandong, according to the memory of Lu Tao's previous life, he will soon become the village chief of the village, that is, the captain, and he is still developing in the village, and he may have to stay here for a while, many things will be easier to operate if Zhang Jianjun can help.
So Lu Tao, who thought of this, did not hesitate, turned his head and said to Jiang Xiuzhu:
"Aunt Xiuzhu, who said that there is no place for Zhang Hu, I need a strong person like him here!"
"I think if this is not the case, I asked Zhang Hu to help me and give him 15 a day, and he dug this grass from me every day, and I also collected it for five cents a catty, what do you think?"
At the same time, Lu Tao was also worried that Jiang Xiuzhu would feel that 15 days was far less profitable than when they went to the mountains to dig gynostemma, and then explained:
"But I'll be honest, now it seems that digging this grass has to be profitable, but in the back, it is getting more and more difficult to dig, after all, the scale of the mountain is limited, and now that so many people are digging, there must be less and less digging."
"And if you follow me, I have a lot of other jobs in the future, you can find Zhang Hu to help me, this grass is just a temporary business for me."
In fact, 15 a day, to be honest, is really a high salary.
In this era, the salary of a plasterer or a carpenter master is generally 10 a day. In some places, it will be even lower.
Even teachers, who were later regarded as golden iron jobs by many female students, only paid a few hundred a month, which is a maximum of more than 20 yuan a day.
So 15 a day, more than eighty percent of the people in the village.
"What?!"
Jiang Xiuzhu was stunned on the spot after hearing this, she has a salary, and she can earn extra money the rest of the time, where can she find such a good job?
"I heard you right."
Jiang Xiuzhu plucked her ear with her little thumb and asked in some surprise.
"Aunt Xiuzhu, you heard me right, I just want Zhang Hu to help me." Lu Tao replied affirmatively.
"Then, will he do something bad and cause you trouble when the time comes?" Jiang Xiuzhu has no confidence in her son Zhang Hu.
"It's okay, Aunt Xiuzhu, I just need to have a person with a lot of strength to help me do some hard work, and I can find anyone. It's better to find your family Zhang Hu. Lu Tao said.
Jiang Xiuzhu patted her thigh and said gratefully: "It's really good, Zhang Hu, don't thank you Brother Lu Tao?" ”
"Hey, hey, thank you, Brother Lu Tao." Zhang Hu scratched his head.
"Lu Tao, if Zhang Hu doesn't do it right in the future, you can just beat him, this kid, sometimes his brain can't be turned." Jiang Xiuzhu said "not distressed" at all.
"How can you?" Lu Tao smiled awkwardly: "I'm not a school here, just move something, what else is wrong." ”
In this way, in Jiang Xiuzhu's thousand thanks, ten thousand thanks, Lu Tao asked Zhang Hu to come over to help from tomorrow morning.
All this fell in Su Yuqing's eyes, which was even more incomprehensible.
What the hell is going on? Lu Tao: Why is this getting bigger and bigger? Are they all hiring? What the hell happened to him?
