The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Chapter 107 Little Fame

Seeing the well-kept orchard in front of him, Lian Xuezhu really didn't expect that Caojiazhuang had such a good place.

His sister and brother-in-law live here, and he comes here at least two or three times a year, but he has never heard his sister and brother-in-law mention this place.

Then it's likely to have been made recently.

He thought again of the young man that his nephew took to find him, that time he was applying for a subsidy.

It's been a long time, and the matter is not big, and he can't remember the specific details.

Liu Wansong, director of the Pingyuan County Agricultural Bureau, also got out of the car.

It made him feel very happy to see the open mountain in front of him and the vitality emanating from the fruit tree seedlings planted in the mountain.

"What a great place!" Liu Wansong continued.

He stood in the same place and looked around again, then turned to look at Lian Xuezhu, and said with a smile: "Old Lian, how did you find such a good place."

"You may not believe it, but this is the place provided by my useless son. Come on, let's go in and have a look first." Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong walked towards the gate of the orchard together.

Cao Shujie and his wife were weighing the customers who had finished picking at the door, and they also saw Lian Xuezhu and his group.

After weighing the waiting customers, Cao Shujie told his wife to get busy first. His father Cao Jianguo also took care of him from the side. Cao Shujie walked towards Lian Xuezhu, Liu Wansong and the others.

On such a formal occasion, Cao Shujie didn't date any relatives anymore, and was thinking of calling out 'Director Lian'. Lian Xuezhu seemed to see through his thoughts, and waved his hand slightly: "Xiao Cao, as long as you are busy, we will see for ourselves."

"Hey!" Cao Shujie nodded in response.

Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong, together with a dozen people from the two units behind, walked in together.

When passing by the door, Lian Xuezhu looked at Cao Jianguo, recognized him, and asked with surprise, "Brother Jianguo, why are you here?"

"Oh, Brother Xuezhu, why is it you?" Cao Jianguo turned his head and noticed Lian Xuezhu.

Cao Shujie and Cao Zhen's family were close, and the two families had a good relationship. Every time Lian Xuezhu came to Cao's village to visit his sister and eat, as long as Cao Jianguo was at home, he would definitely ask him to have a drink together.

"This is my son's orchard. He has been busy these days, so I came here to help him," Cao Jianguo said.

Hearing what he said, Lian Xuezhu said "Oops": "Brother Jianguo, Xiao Cao is the boss of your family. I haven't met him much, and I haven't matched the number yet. Look at this."

Since Cao Shujie was in high school, he was hardly at home. Lian Xuezhu had no impression of him, and his nephew didn't tell him in detail, so that Lian Xuezhu didn't know that Cao Shujie was the son of his old friend.

When Cao Shujie saw this step, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion that his father looked broad.

But at the same time, I also think that there are many conveniences at home that are not available outside!
Just because of today's relationship, if he goes to apply for something in the policy later, can someone make things difficult?
Xu Yijiang, who came over yesterday, saw this scene and broke out in a cold sweat. He was also thankful: "Fortunately, I didn't talk nonsense yesterday."

Lian Xuezhu and Cao Jianguo, two old friends, exchanged pleasantries, and there was still business, Lian Xuezhu said: "Brother Jianguo, I'll have a drink with you when I'm not busy at noon."

"Okay, you go in." Cao Jianguo said, and handed over some plastic buckets and bags.

When the clerk Xu Yijiang saw it, he quickly took it and took it.

When Lian Xuezhu, Liu Wansong and the others went in, a young man who walked at the end shouted to Cao Shujie, "Brother Jie, I'm here again."

Cao Shujie was a little surprised when he saw him: "Qijian, why are you here?"

"Brother Jie, how's it going? I'll introduce you to a big business!" Lian Qijian pointed at his father and his party with a little pride, and said proudly.

Only when Cao Shujie heard what he said, did he understand that there was a reason for his feelings.

Inside the orchard, Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong walked in together, and there were kiwi trees full of fruits at the entrance. In the depths of the orchard, many people were holding small red buckets or carrying kiwis in plastic bags.

Looking at this harvest scene, Lian Xuezhu was very relieved, as if he saw his outstanding juniors making achievements.

Liu Wansong is not an ignorant person, on the contrary, he has some skills himself.

Seeing that the kiwi tree in front of him was full of fruits, and they were plump, uniform in size, clean and fresh, and full of fruit fragrance, he was very moved: "This place is of a high level."

"Old Liu, what do you think?" Lian Xuezhu was a pure layman to this, he couldn't see the way in it.

Liu Wansong pointed to this orchard and said: "According to common sense, kiwifruit is not yet ready for large-scale fruiting, but this orchard is growing very well, and most of them have reached the standard of first-class fruit."

"Old Lian, based on these two points alone, this person who has planted gardens is not easy!" Liu Wansong sincerely praised.

Lian Xuezhu could see that he wasn't deliberately pretending, so he was even happier.

The son of an old friend is capable, which makes him feel that his face is also radiant.

He turned around and looked at the crowd behind him, and said, "Xiao Wu, go and call Xiao Cao over, and just say that I have something to call on him."

"Yes!" The young man called 'Xiao Wu' hurried towards the gate.

When Lian Xuezhu saw that other people were standing behind them, he didn't move. He waved his hand and said, "They're all here, go and pick them. Don't stand together. You think we're doing something to influence others." Business."

When more than a dozen people heard Lian Xuezhu's words, they dispersed immediately, each carrying a plastic bucket or plastic bag, and entered the old orchard area to start picking.

Anyway, today is the unit to pay the bill, a rare opportunity, so I just took the opportunity to pick more.

After Cao Shujie followed 'Xiao Wu', he shouted, "Director Lian, are you looking for me?"

"Don't be Director Lian, Xiao Cao, I have to tell you a few words, why didn't you tell me that your father is brother Jianguo, and then just follow Zhenzhen and call me uncle." Lian Xuezhu said proactively.

"Well, uncle." Cao Shujie was also happy.

Lian Xuezhu also treats capable juniors with special respect.

Seeing this scene, Liu Wansong did not interrupt them.

After Lian Xuezhu and Cao Shujie finished talking, he asked, "Xiao Cao, what did you do before? Did you just grow fruit trees?"

Cao Shujie didn't know him, so it was Lian Xuezhu who introduced Liu Wansong, and said to Cao Shujie, "Just call him Uncle Liu, and you won't suffer."

Knowing that the other party is the head of the Pingyuan County Agricultural Bureau, needless to say, Cao Shujie knew it in his heart: "Uncle Liu."

Liu Wansong didn't care about these details, and he acquiesced.

He kept looking at Cao Shujie, as if he was more interested in his experience.

Cao Shujie continued: "I used to work at the Beijing Institute of Agricultural Sciences. I just quit my job there earlier this year and came back to contract the mountainous land and plant this orchard."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the fruit saplings on the east side and said: "Look, you two, there are new fruit saplings just planted this year. The old orchard that bears fruit here was planted by my parents before, and I am taking over now." .”

"You worked at the Beijing Institute of Agricultural Sciences before?" Liu Wansong seemed to know this place, and he was particularly interested: "Then why did you quit your job there?"

"As far as I know, the working conditions and benefits there are still very good."

"Uncle Liu, to tell you the truth, I used to work in a subsidiary of the Beijing Institute of Agricultural Sciences. I was mainly engaged in promoting the growth of agricultural crops. My parents are getting older, I want to spend more time with them..."

Following his narration, Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong had a clearer outline in their minds, and they also thought that Cao Shujie was still a dutiful son.

It's even better for his senses.

"Are you improving the fruit trees here?" Liu Wansong was very interested in this.

Cao Shujie nodded: "I spent a lot of money to improve it, the cost is there, otherwise it wouldn't be so expensive."

"Then can your technology be promoted?" Liu Wansong asked him.

Cao Shujie said regretfully: "Uncle Liu, it's not that I treasure myself, it's that I'm still in the initial stage of research, and many things are immature. I'm also researching and implementing at the same time. It’s hard to say, but it will take 5 to 10 years if we want to promote it on a large scale.”

"Hey!" Liu Wansong sighed, and he said, "It's the same as I thought. The key is to look at the person. Xiao Cao, you must continue to study. This is a great thing that will benefit the present and benefit the future."

"..." Cao Shujie didn't answer, the hat was too big for him to bear.

He just wanted to grow old with his parents, watch his daughter grow up, and watch the sunrise and sunset with his wife.No romance, just normal life!

Lian Xuezhu interjected and asked, "Xiao Cao, from your point of view, what do you think is most lacking in the development of the agricultural economy?"

"Agricultural development?" Cao Shujie was stunned for a moment, seeing Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong staring at him, and then said: "It's hard to say, but my personal understanding can be simply classified into three aspects."

"Lack of money, lack of technology, lack of market."

"First, most farmers don't have money, so the planting can't be scaled up, and it's useless to plant even a little bit."

"Secondly, most of the farmers do not have systematic planting techniques. Theoretically speaking, they can cope with most normal situations based on years of planting experience. However, if they want to seek breakthroughs and development on this basis, they must It’s as hard as climbing the sky.”

Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong have a deep understanding of what he said.

If nothing else, there is a living example in front of you.

Why does Cao Shujie manage the orchard so well?
He has technical reserves and operational ability. He has the idea and ability of research and breakthrough in his heart, and he also has relatively perfect ideas, but most ordinary farmers do not have this condition!

"What about the third one you just mentioned?" Liu Wansong asked urgently.

Cao Shujie thought for a moment, then said: "Growing fruit with hard work, but also face the variability of the market, and it is very likely that the price will not be sold in the end. At that time, the fruit growers have worked hard for a year, and finally found out. Because of the market, not only did they not make money, but even the fruits they grew could not be transported to the fields..."

Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong fell silent after hearing what he said. Their hearts were very heavy, and they knew very well that the last point Cao Shujie said was the most fatal.

Obviously last year, the purchase price was still one or two yuan, or even two or three yuan. This year, due to market factors, it immediately became a few cents. The majority of farmers can’t even recover the cost. Who can bear this blow!
Lian Xuezhu asked him: "Xiao Cao, do you have any solution?"

Cao Shujie shook his head, he was very honest: "Me neither."

The market is a huge machine and an invisible crocodile. Whoever he is is a matter at the national level. He just needs to be himself.

While chatting with Cao Shujie, Lian Xuezhu and Liu Wansong also entered the orchard with a small bucket to pick kiwis.

When they actually picked the fruit in their hands and put it under their noses to smell the fragrance, the two of them had a deeper understanding.

Liu Wansong took a deep breath, and said with some emotion: "Lao Lian, you know, this is the taste of fruit I ate when I was a child. It's really delicious."

When it was almost noon, they went to Cao Shujie's house to eat boiled whole lamb.

A large pot of whole mutton is rolling in the boiling soup pot, and the aroma is blowing to the face.

Next to it is a small pot of juicy coriander, chopped green onion, salt, pepper noodles, chili, cumin, spiced noodles and other seasonings.

The most delicious food is often the simplest food.

Lian Xuezhu didn't forget to take Cao Jianguo for a drink.

After sending them away, Cao Shujie returned to the mountain.

When Cheng Xiaolin saw him, she asked him, "Shujie, are they all gone?"

"Let's go, how is it, how much did they pick? Did you pay?" Cao Shujie asked.

Compared with illusory promises, he values ​​these real things more.

Who knows when those so-called policies will come down?

Cheng Xiaolin said to him: "You are really interesting, that Xu gave money when he left."

"How much did they pick in total?" Cao Shujie was quite curious.

Cheng Xiaolin showed him the account book and said, "They picked quite a lot, a total of 411 catties. Including the sheep, I collected a total of 13000 yuan, and I didn't want any change."

"Okay, it's all cost price." Cao Shujie said.

Cheng Xiaolin didn't even bother to talk to him, and people came over one after another in the afternoon, and they continued to be busy.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, no one came. Cao Shujie and his wife began to settle accounts. Besides Lian Xuezhu and the others, they also sold 1132 catties, which was the biggest breakthrough since the park opened.

On this day, their gross income was 43204 yuan.

When seeing this number, Cao Jianguo felt that he was really old.

The son's sales this day can catch up to half of his gross income in the previous season.

In Cao Jianguo's heart, there was a kind of feeling that Lian Po was old.

But when he thought that this was the result of his son's completion, he felt happy and proud!

In the following two weeks, some scattered customers came to pick kiwis every day, and Cao Shujie's orchard also spread in a small area.

In addition to Lian Xuezhu and the others who came to build the group, even the rural commercial banks in the town also came to do the group building.

At that moment, Cao Shujie became very passionate and felt that the future was bright.
