I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 76 He Just Wants to Plant a Tree

After sending away several interviewers, Chen Mu looked at the fly that had been squatting on the side of the road, watching the workers who built the chicken shed finishing their work, and just wanted to give himself a two-punch for collecting the money five days ago.

Fly, no, the solo tourist stood up: "Guide Chen, I'm here to apply for a tour guide."

"The tour guide requires a tour guide certificate." Chen Mu's face was expressionless.

"Guide card, I have it!" The single tourist nodded repeatedly.

"Brother, let's be honest, you are amazing, you are constantly acting out, your brain circuits are incomprehensible to ordinary people, and you can offend people with just one mouth." Chen Mu was very helpless.

"I'm not afraid that something will happen to you after you lead the group, but I'm afraid that the tourists will be kicked out in the middle of the night because of your mouth." So why don't you go and harm other people?

"I don't need commission!"

"No, instead of hiring you, I would rather lose money and avoid disaster and increase other people's commissions by one point."

"I, I can be free!"

"Yes, free is the most expensive, I can't afford it."

"I, I..." Single Fly was at a loss for words, scratching his head for a long time and unable to speak.

Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the over 30 off-road vehicle that the man was driving, with complicated eyes: "Brother, I get a headache just looking at you, why don't you stay cool, don't hang around here!"

Just at this moment, a shopper came from a distance.

"Xiao Mu, bring me a pack of cigarettes."

"okay."

When Chen Mu entered the store, he did not take the cigarettes on the counter, but took out a long pack of long sticks wrapped in yellow waterproof paper. The kind of loose smoke that is sucked into the pipe.

After taking it out, while waiting for the other party to pay, Chen Mu habitually promoted: "Uncle Zhao, do you want to bring a cigarette stick, and now you buy a cigarette stick and get a free cigarette pouch, the price is not expensive, and the cigarettes only cost 38. "

Uncle Zhao thought for a while, and looked at the blackened cigarette in his hand. After a few puffs, he had to use a cigarette rod with thick wires, tied with the cigarette rod, and used a cigarette bag that was already black. He nodded, Take out 40 directly.

"Okay, then add another cigarette stick, and the rest candy that costs me two yuan and three cents."

"okay."

At this time, another aunt walked into the store. Her fingertips smelled of chili peppers, and her eyes were a little red. It seemed that she was smoked by chili peppers.

"Xiao Mu, get me the wrapping needle and the coiled thread... Hey, don't want the boxed one. The needles inside are soft and crooked..."

"Okay, do you want a needle size [-] or a size [-] needle?"

"I want to continue to sew the quilt, the fourth needle is enough... The thread does not need this coiled thread, this is machine thread, it is uncomfortable to use, bring me the bundle of cotton thread..."

"Do you want to bring a coil..."

"Oops! You don't have to push this coil for me. It costs more. I can get a water bottle and wrap it around it when I go back to make a coil."

The No. [-] needle and the No. [-] needle are two kinds of needles commonly used in rural areas. The No. [-] needle is thick and short, and it is especially handy when sewing quilts and sewing winter clothes.The No. [-] needle is long and thin, and it is also a sewing machine needle. This kind of needle is easy to recognize because of its large needle eye, so most of the elderly in rural areas use this kind of needle.

Cotton thread is said to be strong and strong, but it can break easily if you stretch out your hand. Therefore, cotton thread is used when sewing quilts to make it easier to renew the quilt next year.

Now is the time when the cotton is mature, and it is a good time to remove the quilt and continue to sew the quilt. Therefore, at this time of the year, the needle and thread in the store sell very fast.

And of course, the soles.

This is the time when every household buys and prepares food. Vegetables are in the growth stage and it is a good time to pickle vegetables.

So once Chen Mu entered the store, he couldn't get out.

Especially when the aunts and aunts from several villages come together to pick out shoe soles, it almost drives him crazy.

"This one with a foam bottom can't stand when the wind blows! It can't be used. I want the one with a cowhide bottom."

"I want flat tires."

"I want this foam-soled one to keep me warm when wearing cotton shoes in winter."

"Oh, why is there no size 44?"

"Xiao Mu, is this size a normal size or something? The uppers I made don't match."

"Bring me two shoe cones, and the nylon thread to measure five meters..."

Anyway, when the group of people were chatting and laughing about what kind of tricks look good, who is so strong, and who is going to learn, etc., Chen Mu's eyes have turned into circles when they go out.

Rural stores are like this. They have everything from needlework and seeds to food and farm tools, and everything is complete.

But when the next question was asked when he would start pressing dough and making handmade spicy strips, Chen Mu was really stunned.

He just wanted to plant a tree!

Selling seeds, needlework, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, etc. was fine, but he couldn't stand making spicy strips.

Although every summer in the past, my mother would add cucumbers and soy sauce and vinegar to make a bowl of cold dishes with homemade noodles. He also likes to eat them, but he just wants to eat, not pressed!

Chen Mu refused sternly: "Auntie, I won't show off my face this year."

By the time the last customer was sent away, it was already past five o'clock.

After leaving the store, the workers building the chicken sheds opposite had already begun to finish their work and go home, but the fly was still squatting on the side of the road without even moving.

Looking at the time, Chen Mu sighed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, there are wild animals in the northwest at night, for safety, you should hurry to the town."

The single eldest brother shook his head and pointed to the chicken shed in front: "Guide Chen, if you don't let me be a tour guide, then I will raise chickens for you!"

"Let's not talk about chicken. We should be civilized." Chen Mu said a dry joke.

But after seeing that the other person didn't seem to be joking, he collapsed a little. He pointed at the car and said helplessly: "Brother, you only cost more than 30 for this car. You are not poor at first sight. Do you need to stay like this?"

The solo eldest brother nodded seriously: "Yes! You are so lively!"

Knowing that this person couldn't be driven away, Chen Mu, who just happened to be short of people, sighed again, and said weakly: "The salary..."

"It's fine if you can live with the basic salary."

"The job content..."

"It's up to you."

"Then your food and drink..."

"I pay."

"The accommodation here..."

"It's okay, I can make a living, just live in a tent."

After listening, Chen Mu suddenly showed a puzzled smile: "The salary is 1500, and besides raising chickens, he also planted trees, weeded and sprinkled fertilizer..."

"Of course you can." The single man who was used to answering conversations just calmed down immediately.

A few seconds after he finished speaking, he reacted.

"Keeping chickens?"

"Correct!"

"Plant a tree?"

"Correct!"

"weeding?"

"Correct!"

"And fertilizer?"

"Correct!"

"Only 1500?"

"Correct!"

The single brother stopped laughing: "Don't you think there is something wrong with this salary?"

"No ah!"

"What's your minimum wage here?"

Chen Mu didn't blush, and replied solemnly: "1500, I now have two salaries of 1500..." It's just that one is a child of fourteen, and the other is an aunt who is missing an arm.

After a long time, Chen Mu brought his single elder brother who had changed into another suit, carrying a shovel and saplings, and prepared to start planting trees.

From the chat, Chen Mu learned that the single eldest brother was from Jin City and his name was Xu Gengyun. He sounded like a name that was very good at planting trees.

"Xu Gengyun, you have to agree before you work here. There are Xia people, Tibetans, a few Baoan people who moved here because of the forest farm, and Tu people who later moved from other remote places. , there are some Hui people, and there are Uyghur people who work here."

Because he was no longer a customer but an employee, Chen Mu was no longer polite when he spoke.

"If you can't talk like you were at the Bosen's house, then leave quickly, otherwise you will be beaten three times a day here, and you can only choose noon when you go out."
