The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

The next day, Cao Shujie called together the company's management staff again and asked them whether they had watched the evening news on the provincial TV station's satellite channel the previous night.

A bunch of people must have nodded and said they had seen it. Not only had they watched the news, they had watched it many times, and even recorded the video with their mobile phones and studied it repeatedly.

When Cao Shujie asked them to discuss their views on the content of the news, everyone expressed their opinions very actively.

Cao Shujie's assistant He Ruijia was taking careful notes next to him. She sorted out all the suggestions and would later study those suggestions that were truly beneficial to the development of Xuemeng Food Factory.

In addition to this, they now have to wait for the province to come up with specific policy plans. The main purpose of studying countermeasures at this time is to get the upper hand.

With the reopening of the children's theme park and Mengmeng Orchard in Caojiazhuang, Cao Jianlong and his colleagues also became busy.

The villagers were fully revived.

Some people set up stalls and some don't. Those who don't join Caojiazhuang Tourism Company at this time and become one of its members. Although they don't earn as much as those who set up stalls, they can still get wages and bonuses.

The key is that this is only a part of their income. They also receive dividends from two cooperatives. They live a happy life without any pressure at all.

There are a total of 67 natural villages in the entire Qingshi Town. The other 66 villages, including Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang, all envy the people of Caojiazhuang!
But there was no way. They understood from the beginning that there was no capable person like Cao Shujie in their village. It was already good enough that they could get rich together with Caojiazhuang, which had become rich first.

For example, the entire Qingshi Town grows kiwis and apples, and most of these fruits flow into the Xuemeng Food Factory.

However, Xuemeng Food Factory did not take the opportunity to lower the price, but instead gave the same price as the market price. In this regard, the people who grew orchards really benefited.

Although they do not earn as much as the three villages participating in the agricultural planting cooperatives, they are already doing well compared to fruit farmers in other places.

The first quarter of 2018 is about to end, and even ordinary people have realized that there is a problem in the market. When they go to buy fruits, they find that many fruits are not expensive.

In the past, if this situation occurred, these fruit farmers would start to get anxious, because the prices of fruits sold to the general public could not be raised. For those who grow fruits like them and sell them in bulk, they cannot expect the prices to be too high, and there may even be a situation where no one will buy them.

Now with Xuemeng Food Factory, they don’t have to worry about this problem at all.

Everyone also hopes that Xuemeng Food Factory will get better and better.

They did not realize that Xuemeng Food Factory's market sales have also been shrinking recently.

Seeing that Caojiazhuang's tourism industry has recovered, people from other villages envied it and started setting up stalls there as well. Although they could not set up stalls in the core tourist area of ​​Caojiazhuang, they could still take advantage of the situation by setting up stalls around Caojiazhuang.

I can earn one or two hundred yuan a day, and three or four hundred when business is good.

The amount can be more or less, but it is guaranteed that you can earn four or five thousand yuan a month.

We are already in the countryside, so we don't have any big purchases. We can usually eat steamed buns and grow our own vegetables at home, so there aren't many places to spend money. Earning four or five thousand in the countryside and earning four or five thousand by working in the city are two completely different concepts.

……

On this day, Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao and Cao Jianlong were discussing the integrated drip irrigation transformation of the orchard of Caojiazhuang Agricultural Planting Cooperative.

The orchard has been using the first generation of nutrient solution, and only after March did they become more aware of the value of the nutrient solution.

Looking at the obviously sturdy fruit trees, the leaves that are gradually turning dark green, the well-developed root systems, and the snow-white flowers, veteran fruit farmers like Cao Jianlong who often work with fruit trees understand that this is a sign of adequate nutrition.

Although they still don’t know what the fruits these trees will eventually bear will look like, their current performance has already made Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao and others excited.

They feel that the current method of manually spraying nutrient solution is too inefficient.

In addition, according to what Tong Jiayi from Xuemeng Food Factory told them, the first generation nutrient solution is best administered continuously via drip irrigation. The one-time dosage can be less, but it cannot be stopped.

They also took this into consideration. It is impossible to provide continuous supply by manual labor alone, so they considered installing drip irrigation equipment.

This matter must be discussed with Cao Shujie.

In addition, they all knew that Cao Shujie had installed drip irrigation equipment in the orchard a long time ago. From an objective point of view, they felt that Cao Shujie had rich experience in this area, and they came to him to discuss it and learn from him.

In addition, since more than 5000 acres of land are involved in the three villages of Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village, a meeting of all villagers must be held to explain to everyone what is going on and where the money will be spent.

But when they came to look for Cao Shujie, they found out that he was not at home.

Cao Jianguo was at home with his grandson. He didn't know when his son would be back, so he said to Cao Jianlong, "Brother Jianlong, if you have any urgent matters, just call Shujie."

"Then I'll give him a call and ask." Cao Jianlong really wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.

When Cao Jianlong called Cao Shujie, he found out that Cao Shujie was on his way back to Caojiazhuang.

Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao did not leave and waited at Cao Shujie's house.

Cao Jianguo brought in some chairs and a folding table and made some tea.

Before I finished drinking the pot of tea, Cao Shujie and Mengmeng came in together.

"Uncle Long, what's the urgent matter?" Cao Shujie came over and asked him.

Mengmeng also called grandpa obediently, and then ran into the house to do her homework.

Cao Jianlong and Liu Guoqiang looked at each other, and Liu Guoqiang said, "Brother Jianlong, go ahead."

"Shujie, this is what's going on. We want to install drip irrigation equipment in the orchard of the agricultural planting cooperative so that we can better spray the first-generation nutrient solution. What do you think?" Cao Jianlong expressed his idea.

He also told Cao Shujie about this matter, and told Cao Shujie that he had discussed it with Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao and a few others, but had not yet discussed it with the people from Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang, nor had he yet sought the opinions of the villagers.

It turned out to be this matter. He told the three people: "Uncle Long, this suggestion you made is very good. I personally agree with it."

Cao Jianlong and the others were relieved, but Cao Shujie continued to tell them: "I think this matter must be explained clearly to all the people, because this thing costs a lot of money." Hearing the tone of Cao Shujie's words, Cao Jianlong and the others also became cautious, and then they heard Cao Shujie continue to say: "Uncle Long, I don't know if you have thought about a problem. This is not just a matter of installing drip irrigation equipment. You also need water, and the drip irrigation equipment must be installed next to the waterway to ensure that it has continuous water all year round. For example, with more than 2000 acres of orchards in our village, I suggest that we divide it into areas and drill at least two wells in each area. In this case, we need to make a double-head sprinkler irrigation device, and the cost of this must also be taken into account."

He told Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao, "I spent about 30,000 or 40,000 yuan digging a well in the mountain. I forgot the exact amount."

"In addition, we need to build a house around the well, put the water tank and the pressure pump of the drip irrigation equipment inside, and take safety measures. This cost must also be taken into account."

Cao Jianlong nodded repeatedly and asked Cao Shujie how much the drip irrigation equipment cost.

"I forgot the exact amount, but I remember that the cost was about 4,000 yuan per acre of land," said Cao Shujie.

It's been so long, how can I remember it so clearly.

He also told Cao Jianlong and others: "I made this equipment in 2011, and the price is definitely different from now. If we really want to do it, I suggest bidding."

His equipment underwent a second modification, which cost a lot of money and was troublesome.

According to Cao Shujie's understanding, the latest drip irrigation equipment is very advanced, but the price is also higher, so it would be better to find a new supplier to bid.

When Cao Jianlong and his friends heard Cao Shujie talking about the price of modifying the drip irrigation equipment in his orchard, they had an idea of ​​the price.

In 2011, an acre of land cost more than yuan, and the price is definitely higher now.

"Uncle Long, I suggest that you first call the village committee leaders of Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang over and inform them. If they all agree, you can bid together. If they disagree, Caojiazhuang can hold a meeting of all villagers and do it ourselves." Cao Shujie was not entangled in this matter, and he said it straightforwardly.

Cao Jianlong and Liu Guoqiang nodded almost at the same time: "Okay, let's do it later."

Cao Shuchao sighed on the side that the gap between them and Cao Shujie was really huge.

They thought this was a big deal, but Cao Shujie filled in all the details for them in just a few words.

Cao Shujie still wanted to keep them at home for dinner, but Cao Jianlong and the other three wanted to get this done quickly, so they told Cao Shujie that they would call Zhu Hongwei, Zhuang Xuejian and others to discuss what to do next.

"Okay, call me when the meeting starts," said Cao Shujie.

Cao Shujie would definitely attend this kind of meeting which involves the interests of all villagers.

Cao Jianlong also knew this. He nodded in response to Cao Shujie and left Cao Shujie's house.

As soon as he came out, Cao Jianlong called Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei and asked them to bring all the village committee members to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee Office Building to discuss important matters.

When they heard that Cao Shujie was also going to attend the meeting, Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei did not hesitate at all. Even though it was already past 4 o'clock, they still hurried towards Caojiazhuang.

Half an hour later, Cao Jianlong called Cao Shujie and told him that the leaders of the two villages had arrived. It was almost 5 o'clock at this time. Cao Shujie did not hesitate. He told his father and grandfather to have dinner in the evening and not to wait for him. He rode his electric bike to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee office building.

At this time, the leaders of the village committees of the three villages were already waiting in the meeting room. More than a dozen people gathered together talking and laughing, and some were smoking.

But when they saw Cao Shujie come in, several people who were smoking subconsciously put their cigarettes in the ashtray next to them and poured some water on them to put out the cigarettes.

Cao Shujie felt like laughing when he saw this scene: "It's okay, just smoke it."

"Ahem!" Zhuang Xuejian, the old smoker, coughed a few times and said, "I don't know what's going on. My throat hurts whenever I smoke recently. I'd better not smoke anymore."

When Cao Jianlong saw this from the side, he wondered how shameless this old man was to be able to say such words.

He smoked more heavily than anyone else just now.

But the heavy smokers were smart enough not to respond at this time.

After Cao Shujie sat down, the meeting basically began.

Cao Jianlong had just told them the purpose of today's meeting. After Cao Shujie sat down, he explained the matter again in detail.

"We discussed this with Tong Jiayi, the leader of Xuemeng Food Factory who makes a bag of nutrient solution. He suggested that we install drip irrigation equipment, which will allow us to more accurately control the amount of nutrient solution, maximize its effect, and save on the use of nutrient solution," said Cao Jianlong.

In addition, Cao Jianlong also told everyone the advantages of using integrated drip irrigation equipment.

But he also gave an approximate cost.

"If we install integrated drip irrigation equipment, we also have to dig wells and build huts, which is not cheap," said Cao Jianlong.

Zhu Hongwei asked him: "Lao Cao, just tell me how much it will cost?"

But Cao Jianlong couldn't say for sure, so he looked at Cao Shujie and said, "Secretary Cao's orchard was equipped with integrated drip irrigation equipment in 2011. Why don't we listen to Secretary Cao's suggestions?"

More than a dozen people looked at Cao Shujie.

After Cao Jianlong and his friends left, Cao Shujie actually checked the account books for that year and looked at the price of the drip irrigation equipment at that time. When Cao Jianlong mentioned this again, Cao Shujie took out a piece of paper and told them: "I asked Xia Changhong, the owner of Changhong Building Materials Hardware Store in the county, to install the automatic sprinkler equipment for me. I spent a total of 57 yuan on 2011 mu of land in 21, an average of 3684 yuan per mu."

"Later, I asked Chen Lei to do the drip irrigation integrated renovation for me. The renovation cost 57 yuan for 3 mu of land. According to this price, I spent more than 4300 yuan per mu of land at that time."

"But later I contracted land for integrated sprinkler and drip irrigation. The cost of installing a complete set of drip irrigation equipment was 4000 yuan per mu, which was lower than the cost of my first installation and renovation. Of course, it has been too long, so this number is just for your reference."

"In addition, I asked Han Dingping to dig the well. I think some of you should know him. I spent a total of 32000 yuan on digging the well. I asked Grandpa Cao Zhenggang to build a house for the well and drip irrigation equipment. The cost was not much." Cao Shujie said.

After Cao Shujie's explanation, the costs became very clear.

Cao Jianlong and the others nodded repeatedly. Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian also kept recording. They would also study it after returning and report the data to the villagers. (End of this chapter)
