Back home, he explained the matter to Cai Yazhi in detail.

Cai Yazhi asked with a blushing face, did she pay too much?Because she used to occasionally work for some families in Fengyukou, a large village outside, during non-farm busy hours, and the most she paid was 30 yuan.

"Not much. A day's wages outside are at least 80 to [-] yuan. We only pay [-] yuan here, which is not too much. It's better not to do things too badly in the village."

Cai Yazhi nodded and said nothing.

Early the next morning, the big speakers in the village began to publicize that Zhang Taiping recruited people to plant bamboo. When the name of the village heard 51 days, it immediately moved my heart. I climbed out of the warm nest at 07:30 in Zhang Taiping There were 13 people gathered in front of the house, including five men and eight women.

After eight o'clock, Zhang Taiping saw that no one came again, so he started to do the work this time.

"Today I mainly dig bamboo and plant bamboo, and dig thorn trees and plant thorn trees. I pay 50 yuan a day, and now I give [-] yuan to each person first, and then [-] yuan to each person at night."

Hearing this, those who were still hesitating whether it was right or wrong to come here today immediately knew they were right.Thinking about it, this handsome man really changed his sex as people said these days.

Cai Yazhi gave everyone a twenty or two ten-yuan bills, and a dozen or so people smiled immediately after taking the money in their hands, gearing up with great energy.This is what Zhang Taiping asked Cai Yazhi to do. I know what kind of person I was before. Those who come to help may not be able to do anything even if they help. Verbal promises do not mean anything, but actual money can be mobilized people's enthusiasm.Send the money to the villagers first, and then no one will be embarrassed to contribute, which will greatly improve efficiency.

Together with Zhang Taiping and Wang Peng, there were fifteen people in total. Zhang Taiping divided them into two teams, seven people went to dig bamboo, and the remaining eight people dug thorn trees.When leaving, Zhang Taiping put a few sticks of cigarettes he bought in advance last night into the space, and said to Cai Yazhi, "Don't go today, just boil some water at home and make some tea and send it over. Find someone to help put the tube on at noon .”

Cai Yazhi nodded and asked: What kind of tea should I make?

"Just soak in honeysuckle."

Zhang Taiping and Wang Peng were with the man who dug the thorn tree.Bring people to a mountain not far away that is covered with thorn trees, first use a stick to beat in the dense grass or thorn bushes, which is called "beating the grass to scare the snake", so that if the snake hides in the grass, it will be surprised. Walk away to avoid the possibility of people not noticing being bitten by a snake.

It is more difficult to dig a thorn tree than bamboo, because this tree is really impossible to use, so it can only be used from a distance?Dig out the roots.In the end, Zhang Taiping felt that digging the big ones was too slow, so he asked only to dig the small ones. Anyway, he had a way to make them grow enough to block people and things before the fruits ripen next year.Moreover, Zhang Taiping also picked up many wild jujube pits on the ground, which can be cultivated into small saplings in the space and then planted.

The thorn tree can't be carried on its back, so it can only be lifted with a long pole, and this job is left to Zhang Taiping himself.Pick the thorn trees to the bottom of the mountain and put them on several rack carts, pull them back down to the place where they will be planted, and then pull the carts back to the foot of the mountain, so that the people on the mountain will dig up another pile of thorn trees.Zhang Taiping spent the whole morning digging between the mountain where the thorn tree was dug and the valley behind the backyard. He did not dig on the mountain. It is not necessarily more efficient than these old-fashioned farm work.

During this period, Ah Huang was fighting for his strength. He was shocked by the chubby wild rabbit. Ah Huang immediately chased after him, and ran back with the hare after a while.Then he sprang at two pheasants intermittently, and Zhang Taiping sent these prey to his home on the way back to transport the thorn tree.

When Zhang Taiping returned home, he didn't know that Cai Yazhi was alone at home, and there were two other women.One is Wang Peng's mother, and the other is Han Miaomiao, the daughter-in-law from another village who was told away by Zhang Taiping by the river a few days ago.Han Miaomiao and Cai Yazhi were elementary school classmates a long time ago, and now they are married to a young man named Wang Zhousheng in the village.

Let the three prey be dealt with at noon and make them together for those who come to help.

Zhang Taiping had enough pipes, served tea frequently, everyone was full of energy, and the efficiency in the morning was good. More than 300 bamboos were dug, and the number of thorn trees was even more difficult.

For a lunch, I eat steamed buns and vegetables.There are six dishes, one stewed with pork vermicelli, one stewed pork with radish, boiled a rabbit, stewed two pheasants with mushrooms, plus one lotus dish, and one fried pork with dried beans, a total of six dishes.The steamed buns are freshly steamed fist-sized big white soft buns, and there is also a pot of steamed sweet potatoes.Since I had to work in the afternoon, I didn't drink white wine, but some rice wine made by Wang Pengniang.

The amount of dishes is sufficient, almost all of them have meat, and the meat is sufficient.Women in the mountains are not as reserved as those in the city. They let go of their chopsticks to eat and drink like men, and some drink more than men.

At the end of the meal, the woman who had talked with Zhang Taiping in the river that day asked, "Marshal, are you going to make fruit trees?"

"Yes, since it is planted, we must manage it well."

"Other people heard the conversation between the two, and they all slowed down their movements, and listened with their ears.

The woman asked again: "I see that you have invested a lot in the field, can you make money?"

"As long as you manage it well, at least you won't be able to spend money. As for whether you can make a lot of money, it depends on whether you have management skills."

"Then if the fruit produced next year is not good, or if it cannot be sold, the money will be left in the field for nothing, and people will be wasted for such a long time."

This is also what other people in the village are generally worried about when planting fruit trees. Cai Yazhi would have had the same idea in the past. Under the book of managing fruit trees, I also understand some market conditions, and I believe in the blueprint drawn by Zhang Taiping at the beginning, and now I am full of confidence in fruit trees.Unknowingly, she is full of confidence in Zhang Taiping, and like Yaya, she also has a kind of blind faith in him, thinking that as long as it is what he says, it will definitely come true.

"As long as the management is good, the fruit will definitely not go bad. As for the issue of selling at that time, there is no need to worry about it. The good fruits in the outer cities are never worried about selling. A catty of grapes can be sold for six yuan. Cherries are It’s even more expensive, almost ten or twenty yuan a catty. Worst of all, it can be sold at a slightly lower price in supermarkets or fruit shops.”

Sisi, there was a sound of inhalation.

"Grapes can be sold for six yuan a catty? Most of the ones I've seen in the town cost one yuan a catty, and the most expensive ones are only two yuan a catty. There are also cherries that cost 20 yuan a catty. Anyone want it?"

Zhang Taiping explained: "There are more rich people in this world. People who eat well will always spend money to buy good fruits to eat, and they don't have to worry about selling them. If you don't believe me, go to the city and have a look. One or two yuan of grapes are in the market. In the fruit shops in the city, no one really wants them, but the supply of good quality and high priced ones is in short supply.”

A few people were a little moved by what Zhang Taiping said, but some people were still skeptical.

One person said: "No matter how good the fruit is, there must be a way to sell it. Marshal, you have friends in the city to help you, of course you can sell it, but the people in the village have no one to help."

The people in the mountains still think too highly of the people in the city, thinking that Zhang Taiping can sell fruit in the city must be because of the help of a few city people who came to Zhang Taiping’s family last time. I am still not optimistic about myself, and now I am still holding a wait-and-see attitude towards the fruit trees. I can only make a decision after the harvest of Zhang Taiping's orchard next year.

Zhang Taiping understood that the villagers were mainly scared by the apple and pear trees in the past few years: "The main thing is the quality of the fruit. If the quality of the fruit is good, I can find a way to sell it for you."

The others all fell silent, obviously still not optimistic about the fruit tree and had to wait until next year to make a decision.The woman who talked to Zhang Taiping just now hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak out.Han Miaomiao, who was sitting next to Cai Yazhi, opened her mouth but did not speak.

After eating, take a short rest, and prepare to plant in the afternoon.

It is much easier to plant. Two people work in groups, one digs a hole and the other puts the saplings and fills them with soil.Zhang Taiping was only responsible for carrying water up the slope.There are many people and strength, talking and laughing, time passes quickly, and the bamboo and thorn trees dug in the morning are planted before dark.The hillside where the bamboo is planted is full of bamboo, and the side where the thorn tree is planted has not yet been planted, but there are not many, less than one-tenth, and Zhang Taiping and Cai Yazhi can finish planting in one day. There is no need to hire people to plant.

Back in the yard, after washing his hands, Zhang Taiping asked Cai Yazhi to distribute the remaining 30 yuan to everyone.After getting the money, the others greeted Zhang Taiping a few words, saying that they would come to help if they had jobs, and then they all left.

Only the woman who talked to Zhang Taiping the most did not leave.Her name is Song Lan, she is in her 30s, and her husband is Wang Min, who works outside.She has two children at home. The eldest is a promising daughter who is currently in high school and is likely to be admitted to university; the youngest is a son who is in junior high school. As for how he is studying, it is still unclear.To provide for the two children to go to school, the family's living conditions are also very poor.

She said that she didn't want the remaining 30 yuan.

Zhang Taiping saw that there might be something wrong, so he asked: "Is there something wrong?"

Song Lan hesitated for a while before saying: "Could you help me build fruit trees for my family, of course you won't let you cut them for nothing, and I'll give you wages. How about seventy per day?" After looking at Zhang Taiping, he said nothing. Gritting his teeth, "One hundred a day!"

Zhang Taiping asked with a smile: "Sister Song believes that fruit trees can make money?"

"I don't know, anyway, where the fruit trees are abandoned, manage and manage, so it will be like this."

"Then what kind of fruit trees are there in your house? How many are there?"

"At that time, there were peach trees and black plum trees all over the place, and there were all of them on a hillside, about seven or eight acres."

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll trim it for you in a few days. As for the wages, forget it, I'm just idle."

Only then did Song Lan leave happily, but in the end she didn't want the remaining 30 yuan.

After Song Lan left, Cai Yazhi and the other two left after washing the pots, stoves and dishes.In the house, Cai Yazhi said to Zhang Taiping: Han Miaomiao also wants her to help prune the four acres of cherry trees at home.After hearing this, Zhang Taiping agreed, helping one is helping, and helping two is also helping.
