July 2nd, cloudy.

Liu Xing got up early in the morning.

After washing and eating breakfast, he shouted the melon seeds.

As for why, it was definitely not to go to the market to play, but to ask her to help raise the black calves.

originally wanted to hand it over to Liu Ye and let the melon seeds help with pigweed at home, but after thinking about it, Liu Ye was unreliable, so he didn't put it into action.

It's just that to Liu Xing's surprise, as soon as he helped pull the black calf out of the bullpen, Liu Ye ran out and said that he wanted to release the black calf, and no one could compete with him.

Since this is the case, Liu Xing naturally couldn't win Liu Ye's kindness, and after a few more words, he rode a bicycle, carrying Xiaodoudou and Xiaobudian in the direction of Laowu Village.

There is no way, I asked Li Dawei for two days off, today is not a holiday, so naturally I can't rub it around at home.

When I came to the door of the shoe store in the market, it was just after eight o'clock.

Under the grapefruit tree, a white car was parked there, and Li Dawei in the passenger seat was smoking.

Seeing Liu Xing appear on a bicycle, he quickly pinched off the cigarette butt and greeted him.

"You're pretty early. Liu Xing smiled at Li Dawei, hugged the little dot and little Doudou on the bicycle, and walked into the kitchen after handing it over to Nai Xinru.

In the kitchen, Liu Dongju was lighting the fire, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned his head and looked over: "You are here! The fifth uncle and Uncle Shunde have been here before, and then they went to Hengshui Winery by bicycle with Gouzi and Zhao Gou, you arrange work for them, remember to call them at the door." ”

"Got it. Liu Xing nodded: "By the way, what about Zhou Shan?

"Get up early and chop wood with your brother-in-law in the backyard!" Liu Dongju smiled when he heard this: "He knows that you will take him to work at Hengshui Distillery today, so it is impossible to sleep lazy." ”

"That's okay, there's nothing else, I'll go first, the shoe store will be handed over to you and my cousin to take care of, if there is anything that can't be handled, you can go to the department store to find Sister Chen, ask him to call me, I left Sister Chen the phone number of Hengshui Distillery." Liu Xing saw that Zhou Shan and his uncle were waiting at the door of the shoe store, and after explaining a word, he even walked out of the kitchen.

He originally wanted to ask how the matter between Zhou Shan and Zhao Peony was going.

But when I thought that Li Dawei was still waiting outside, I thought about it in the end.

What he didn't expect was that he was just about to take Zhou Shan, Kang Fuchuan, and Nai Xinru into the car, but on the street, Zhao Peony appeared panting.

Zhou Shan was stunned for a moment, and after glancing at Liu Xing, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Who is this?" Li Dawei finally couldn't help but ask.

"My cousin Zhou Shan specially called over to help repair the wine filling equipment. Liu Xing replied.

"Oh. As soon as he heard that the wine filling equipment could be repaired, Li Dawei's eyes lit up.

Because Hengshui Distillery has lacked such talents recently, as long as he can repair the wine filling equipment, then he will naturally not refuse.

And looking at Zhou Shan's sturdy physique, I'm afraid he is still a good repairer.

Thinking of this, Li Dawei couldn't help but look at Zhou Shan twice.

This subtle move actually couldn't escape Liu Xing's eyes at all.

But he didn't say much, seeing that Zhou Shan and Zhao Peony were chatting hotly on the street, the two of them laughed, and they had a headache at the moment, in order to give Li Dawei face, he hurriedly walked over: "Cousin, if you don't want to go to Hengshui Winery today, then stay with Sister Peony, don't delay my time!"

"That's not good, how can you regret what you said was good! It's just that Peony also wants to go to work at Hengshui Distillery, do you think this can work?" Zhou Shan scratched his head with a smile, with anticipation in his eyes.

"It's just that she can't sit so many people in this car?" Liu Xing smiled a little bitterly when he heard this.

This Zhou Shan is also a good skill, and in less than a day, Zhao Peony was inseparable, so it seems that it won't be long before the second aunt will hold her grandson.

"This is easy to do, as long as you agree, Peony said, go to her house and ride a bicycle to Hengshui Winery, and you can come out and pick me up when the time comes." Zhou Shanlian said.

"Okay, okay!" Liu Xing reached out and patted Zhou Shan's shoulder, turned around and walked towards the white car under the grapefruit tree.

Li Dawei was impatient to wait, and hurriedly opened the car door, and after Liu Xing, Nai Xinru, and Kang Fuchuan got in, he sat in the co-pilot: "Lao Xiao drives." ”

"Good!" the car started slowly, and with a nice turn it disappeared into the streets of the market.

......

Hengshui Winery, gate.

There were a lot of people who came to apply.

The road in is blocked again, and it's serious.

This made Li Dawei very angry, and he hurriedly got out of the car and called someone to maintain order.

Liu Xing knew that the car would not be able to enter the Hengshui Distillery for a while, so he immediately walked out with Kang Fuchuan and Nai Xinru, glanced left and right, and saw that Liu Deqi and Liu Shunde were queuing up in a regular manner, and hurriedly walked over with a smile: "You two come out, come with me." ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Shunde and Liu Deqi were somewhat stunned.

Seeing that Liu Xing didn't seem to be joking, he quickly recovered from the queue and ran to Liu Xing's side.

"Do you want to do things on the assembly line, or do you want to go with me to repair the wine filling equipment?" Liu Xing scratched his head: "The assembly line can be done for a long time, a few years, and if you repair the wine filling equipment, it will only be one or two months." ”

It's not that he doesn't help Liu Deqi and Liu Shunde introduce better things, but the two of them are old, if it weren't for his relationship, I'm afraid that they wouldn't be able to enter Hengshui Winery at all, so some things must be made clear.

Of course, working on the assembly line of Hengshui Distillery is much easier than farming at home, and the salary is stable.

Liu Deshun saw Liu Xing asking, and immediately said, "Of course I am working in Hengshui Distillery for a longer time now! You also know that my family is now relying on me to make money to support my family!"

"Me too. Liu Deqi smiled and said.

"Then you come with me. Liu Xing took the lead and walked towards Li Dawei's location.

got closer, and directly told Liu Shunde and Liu Deqi that they wanted to work in Hengshui Distillery.

Li Dawei saw that Liu Deqi and Liu Deshun were burly, and he didn't talk much, so he walked towards the gate with him: "Recently, there have been two porters in the warehouse, since you are farming, you should have strength, so the position of porter should be competent." ”

"As for the salary, the first month is about 36 to 40 yuan, if you want to do it, you can directly register your personal information, and then go to the factory to do things. After a pause, Li Dawei added.

Liu Shunde and Liu Deqi saw that they had such a high salary in the first month, so they were happy, and hurriedly followed Li Dawei's pace.

In fact, what they don't know is that the wages of porters in the warehouse of Hengshui Distillery are originally higher than those of ordinary employees.

Liu Xing saw that Liu Deqi and Liu Shunde's affairs had been dealt with, and he did not stay at the gate at the moment, but walked into the Hengshui Distillery with Nai Xinru and Kang Fuchuan to start a day's maintenance work.

Repairs are actually a meticulous and hard job, and you can't cut corners.

Kang Fuchuan didn't think it at first, but after working by Liu Xing's side for half a month, he realized that it was sad and boring.

On the afternoon of July 17th, I finished eating.

He and Liu Xing sat on the workbench by the window to rest.

Seeing the crackling and heavy rain outside the window, Kang Fuchuan couldn't help frowning: "Xing Yanzi, it's raining every day in this ghost weather, and my family doesn't even have cabbage to eat now, all of them are rotting in the ground, which is not a good sign." ”

"If you don't have any food to eat, you can go to my dad, the lettuce he planted in the sand is almost ready for dinner now. Liu Xing replied teasingly.

Because the sand cannot store water, vegetables are planted on it, and it will not rot at all.

But there are also drawbacks, that is, if there is no rain irrigation, growing vegetables and crops on the sand is simply looking for death.

Of course, not this year.

Because of the heavy rain and the light rain, it never stopped.

It was Liu Xing who took advantage of this to allow the lettuce to survive on the sandy ground.

"Huh, you kid, don't say I've forgotten this stubble, dare you kid already knew that this heavy rain would last so long!" Kang Fuchuan stood up in shock: "I know, if you didn't know that it would rain heavily in the next month or two, you wouldn't have let your dad plant lettuce on the sand at all." ”

"Uncle, I seem to have reminded you of this before, didn't you understand?" asked Liu Xing with a smile.

"I thought you kid was joking! Hell knows you can really predict the weather. Kang Fuchuan laughed, and suddenly he gasped: "My God, then in this way, you let your father and other villagers from saltpeter village contract the mountain this time, and make a lot of money." ”

If he remembers correctly, in the past, the cabbage was only three cents a catty, and the Chinese cabbage was only about five cents a catty, even lettuce, and it would not be higher than a dime.

But now, because of the heavy rain in the bazaar of the old house village, the little cabbage can't be bought for two cents a catty, and the Chinese cabbage can't be seen, and as for the lettuce, it is even more outrageously high, reaching about two cents and a half cents a catty.

In such a situation, not to mention that farmers cannot afford to eat vegetables.

I'm afraid that even those workers in the city who get a fixed salary don't dare to buy vegetables recklessly.

Because it is too expensive, the wages of workers are only a few dozen yuan a month.

This is very different from the past, in the past, if you wanted to eat vegetables, to say something unpleasant, walked through the vegetable field, and the thick-skinned people could be fought.

Liu Xing smiled when he heard this, in fact, he already knew the inside story, because in the past ten days, he secretly asked Sister Chen to observe the changes in the price of vegetables in the market, but for him, the price of vegetables is still very stable now, and it has not reached the point where he can't afford to eat it at all.

Wait until the first half of the month, at the end of this month, or the beginning of August, when this continuous heavy rain triggers flooding, and that's when vegetable prices go up on a rocket.

Of course, these things can't be told to Kang Fuchuan, because he can predict the weather conditions in the last month or two, which is enough for ordinary people.

So, some things are still rotten in the stomach.

Anyway, in a word, the villagers of saltpeter village who listened to his words this time and contracted to plant vegetables and crops on the mountain, are waiting to get rich!

Seeing that today's wine filling equipment would be completed earlier, Liu Xing said to Kang Fuchuan and walked towards the No. 12 workshop.

At present, the wine filling equipment in workshop 12 is being dismantled, and the person in charge is Zhao Gou, Gouzi, and Zhao Liang.

At the gate of workshop No. 12, although it is a break time.

But it was closed, and Liu Xing, who walked to the door, didn't pay attention to these at first, thinking that it was a dog that they did to prevent others from disturbing their rest.

It was only when he was about to knock on the door and call that he realized that it was not like this at all.

Inside, Gouzi, Zhao Gou, Zhao Liang and other villagers from more than a dozen old housing villages actually took advantage of the rest time to get together to play cards and gamble, looking at the denomination of the banknotes on the workbench, they were afraid that the gambling would be quite large.

In the east window position, Zhou Shan sat on the ground and rested against the wall alone.

Liu Xing clearly saw that Zhou Shan wanted to come out several times, but he was blocked by the two young men from the old housing village, and he also scolded him.

It seems that as long as Zhou Shan dares to go out, or go out to report the news, he will definitely be beaten by fat.

Liu Xing, who saw this scene, to be honest, the first feeling in his heart was disappointment.

I thought that these young guys from the old housing village were working quite hard one by one.

Who knows that knowing people, faces, and hearts is this virtue.

He originally wanted to rush in and scold the three responsible persons of Gouzi, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Liang as soon as possible.

But soon, he found out the clue.

Among the people gathered on the workbench to play cards and gamble, there were actually several young men who were not from the old housing village, but employees of Hengshui Distillery, which could be heard from their ruffian foreign accents.

In other words, these employees of Hengshui Distillery are not good people, and they are premeditated to win the money of more than a dozen villagers in old housing villages such as Gouzi, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Liang.

Although he didn't know how to do it, Liu Xing knew that these employees of Hengshui Distillery were afraid that they would rely on this 'craft' to pit a lot of people in Hengshui Distillery.

Just as he turned around and was about to call Li Dawei to come and clean up a few of them, suddenly he changed his mind, pushed open the door of workshop 12 with a smile, and then closed it.

It was quiet at first, and then it was lively again.

Obviously, Liu Xing got along with 'them'.

But half an hour later, the employees of Hengshui Distillery who relied on thousands of dollars to win money slipped out of workshop 123 in frustration, as for why, it must be because Liu Xing relied on decades later to win back their money, and they owed dozens of yuan.

Zhao Gou, Gouzi, Zhao Liang and more than a dozen other old housing villages were still giggling at first, praising Liu Xing Liu Xing's good luck today, but soon they couldn't laugh, because Liu Xing began to curse, and after scolding, he asked the three responsible persons of Gouzi, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Liang to get out.

As for why, the three of them must be very clear.

Because Hengshui Distillery has a clear rule that gambling is prohibited during work.

Violators......

Outright dismissal!!

Even if someone takes a cage, it must not be tolerated.

But the job of working in Hengshui Distillery is not easy to come by, how can the three of Gouzi, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Liang get out, under the entanglement, they all pretended not to hear and lowered their heads.

Liu Xing saw that he couldn't move them, and after reaching out and patting Zhou Shan's shoulder, he walked out of the No. 12 workshop.

In the next half a month, Liu Xing didn't care about Gouzi, Zhao Gou, Zhao Liang and others, because he felt that they were hopeless.

Even if they dismantled everyone's drinking equipment, and were arranged by Li Dawei to work in the maintenance class, he didn't talk to them.

Time in a flash to the beginning of August in the solar calendar, this month, logically speaking, should be the hottest season, but because of two consecutive months of heavy rain, the temperature is only about 25 degrees, many employees working in Hengshui Distillery jokingly said that there is no summer in 82.

But Liu Xing knows that in a few days, God will definitely let everyone know what summer is and what is called hot summer.

On August 3rd, as usual, he took Kang Fuchuan, Zhou Shan, and Naixin to the cafeteria for dinner at half past eleven.

It was only when he walked to the second floor that he found that Wang Zhongyu, who was usually diligent, was packing up the kitchen utensils and preparing to leave, and he didn't even cook lunch for them.

This made Liu Xing very surprised, and he was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Lao Wang, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, well done, why did you suddenly pack your baggage?" Kang Fuchuan was also puzzled.

"I was fired by Lao Li, hehe......" Wang Zhongyu replied with a wry smile.

Out of politeness, he still ran into the kitchen and brought tea to Liu Xing, Kang Fuchuan, Nai Xinru, and Zhou Shan, and poured it.

"Lao Wang, don't be busy entertaining us at this time, a few of us are used to eating the food you cooked, if you leave, then what will we do in the future?" Kang Fuchuan pulled Wang Zhongyu to sit down, with regret in his voice.

It is said that working in Hengshui Distillery is an iron rice bowl, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Nai Xinru was also a little worried about Wang Zhongyu, but couldn't help asking: "Lao Wang, why did Lao Li fire you?"

"Because now the whole HY City, no! The whole Shonan Province, all the large and small vegetable markets, can't buy a single cabbage, and as for other vegetables, you can't even see a shadow. Wang Zhongyu cried and mourned: "This is God rectifying me! If it weren't for the heavy rain for two consecutive months, many reservoirs and dams in the upper reaches of Hunan Province collapsed, causing a large-scale flood and submerging all the vegetables in the countryside, how could such a phenomenon occur!"

As soon as these words came out, Nai Xinru and Kang Fuchuan were silent.

Because they have also experienced the great power of this flood during this time, they can't buy vegetables, and this is only one of them.

Liu Xing smiled when he heard this: "Lao Wang, you are really, don't you know how to ask me for help if you don't have vegetables?"

"Are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Wang Zhongyu looked at Liu Xing with wide eyes.

Kang Fuchuan and Nai Xinru glanced at each other, and then couldn't help but smile.

Because for them, Liu Xing really didn't joke this time.

"Absolutely. Liu Xing sat on the chair next to him casually: "My dad has more than a dozen acres of lettuce in his hand, as well as more than a dozen acres of broad beans, leeks, oily wheat vegetables, cabbage and Chinese cabbage, it depends on how much money you can pay." ”

Originally, he and his father were also planning to sell all the crops planted on the mountain of Saltpeter Village in the next week, but now that Wang Zhongyu has encountered practical difficulties, he naturally can't stand by and watch, and he has to advance the plan.

Of course, look at the situation encountered by Hengshui Distillery.

I'm afraid I can't do it in advance.

Because the saltpeter village has a lot of vegetables, as long as the word spreads.

All the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods in the whole HY city will gather in Saltpeter Village, and then use their skills to buy vegetables.

"I can afford to buy as much as a pound. Wang Zhongyu stepped forward and grabbed Liu Xing's arm tightly, with a look of excitement: "Don't say anything, hurry up and take me to see these vegetables, otherwise I will lose my job." ”

He is responsible for the procurement and cooking of ingredients in Hengshui Distillery, and if you can find vegetables at this time, it is undoubtedly a big reliance, so you must grasp it.

Of course, the most important thing is that he also knows that this kid Liu Xing won't lie to him.

Because many miracles appeared from Liu Xing's hands.

He believed that he would be able to do so this time.

"I haven't eaten lunch yet!" Liu Xing teased.

"Yes, who would dare to help you solve this practical problem without eating!" Kang Fuchuan said with a light smile.

"Personally, can't I go to the small restaurant opposite the Hengshui Distillery and invite you to eat?" Wang Zhongyulian said.

"That's okay, you go and inform Lao Li and ask him to prepare more money, and now at this time, you can't buy and sell vegetables on credit. Liu Xing looked at the time and said his opinion.

"Okay, let's meet at the gate. After Wang Zhongyu said this, he ran away in a hurry.

"Let's go too. Liu Xing took the lead and walked out of the second floor of the cafeteria.
