I build an oasis in the northwest

Chapter 99: Planting trees is beside the point.

Ten minutes later...

Chen Mu threw away the pen, picked up the paper, and began to scrunch it up.

Is it necessary to settle this account?
Is it necessary to calculate an account that is all expenses and the income is only 120 earned from six buckets of chicken shit? !

The answer is of course no!
Chen Mu, who became more and more angry as he calculated, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of ice-cold Coke, and decided to drink something exciting to cheer himself up.

It's cloudy today, not too sunny.

Chen Mu drank Coke and sat leisurely on a chair at the entrance of the store, quietly watching the chickens flying and jumping opposite.

Not long after, Xu Gengyun came. Following his example, he also took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and sat down comfortably.

After casting a glance, Chen Mu stretched out his hand and said coolly: "Thank you for your patronage, two and a half dollars a bottle."

Xu Gengyun ignored him and slumped on the chair, eyes narrowed and listless, looking like he had not yet woken up.

Chen Mu looked at him for a while and saw that he was quiet for a rare time. He silently took his hand back, but he felt it was a loss if he didn't accept the money. He thought about it and said, "If you don't give it now, then I will deduct it from your salary?!"

"Whatever." Xu Gengyun said two words without emotion.

I don't know why, but at this moment, Chen Mu could feel the thick low pressure on Xu Gengyun's body, and even his usual non-stop talking stopped.

After sitting for a while, Chen Mu moved his butt uncomfortably, remembering that this person complained about the low salary this morning, coughed dryly, and said with conscience: "1500 is for the internship period, after becoming a full-timer, the salary will be 1700, keep at it. "

Nowadays, there are more and more employees in forest farms, and their salary levels are also different.

The male owners of the two families from the Guzang Autonomous Region and the southern mountainous area are both veterans. They only work the night shift and are responsible for the safety of the funds of tourists in the oasis at night to prevent anyone from stealing money at night when everyone is asleep. Entering other people's tents and stealing things, so their salary is 2200.

Xu Gengyun, Aunt Shuanzi, Duoji and Yerbolati are paid 1500 yuan.

Because Hadir has multiple jobs, he has to take tourists to play, help with barbecues in the evening, and make grass squares. He usually waters the trees next to the oasis and feeds the fry in the lake. These are all his jobs. , so the salary is the highest, 3000 a month.

Zhou Peng is a farm manager with good skills and his salary is 3000.

Lao He and Lao Yang were originally paid 80 per day, but this salary far exceeded the local wage level, but their working speed was really not worthy of this salary. So after the conversation, their salary was the same as that of the six new employees. Same, it became 1700.

Qian Wei is the same as Lao He and Lao Yang, but because he is responsible for all aspects of the forest farm, his salary is 2500.

Therefore, monthly salary expenses alone are quite a headache.

Fortunately, the Tibetan chickens had already laid eggs. A few days later, someone came to collect the eggs, and the saplings also started selling seedlings on consignment. If they persisted for a while, the forest farm would make money.

There are people who have money and income. Compared with when there was nothing at the beginning, only he and the young employee Duoji worked hard to plant trees. The money had to be spent wisely and no one dared to waste it. This is already very good. But Chen Mu always felt that something was wrong.

What's wrong?
Chen Mu thought carefully for a while, slapped his thigh suddenly, ignored Xu Gengyun's surprised look, and finally figured it out.

After working on it for a long time, he went off topic!

The land was originally contracted for the purpose of planting trees.

It was also because of poverty that he found a way to develop the tourism industry in order to pay for planting trees. He began to take tourists on tours, raise and sell seedlings, and engage in breeding.

By next year, Elaeagnus jujube, sea buckthorn and Mongolian almond will sprout and bear fruit, and the forest farm will enter the business stage.

The money scene is great, but what about the trees? !
It seems that because of the shortage of seedling manpower, most of the employees have devoted themselves to raising seedlings. Recently, fewer and fewer trees have been planted.

It seems that not even a quarter of the [-] willow, poplar, salix and three kilograms of Mongolian almond seeds ordered three days ago have been planted yet.

It is completely different from the original purpose!
He is also waiting to save one million life points as soon as possible and open the system mall as soon as possible! !
Thinking of this, Chen Mu quickly opened the system interface.

Current vitality value: 695697
Seeing this number, Chen Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

The tree has been planted less recently, but because of the saplings cut every day, the fish, shrimp and crabs in the lake, the grass seeds sown every now and then when the wind blows, and the Tibetan chicken breeding grounds included in the map, the vitality is high. On the contrary, it has been rising steadily, with the vitality value increasing by about [-] every day.

Chen Mu was relieved and very happy.

"Next, as long as you stop exchanging vitality points, it will take more than half a month at most before the system mall can be opened."

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he decided to temporarily give up the habit he had developed recently of exchanging vitality every three or five times.

Not long after, Zhou Peng came over after his lunch break.

The other party took out a bottle of [-]-Up from the refrigerator without any hesitation, opened it with a click, and took a long gulp.

Chen Mu stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you for your patronage, two and a half dollars a bottle."

Zhou Peng didn't say anything. He took out two banknotes and a steel coin from his pocket and put them in Chen Mu's hand.

"Are you going to wait until the 21st to sell the eggs, or should we cultivate them on a large scale first?" Zhou Peng sat next to the two of them, watching the chickens flying and dancing in front of him, taking a sip of Qixi from time to time, and asked.

Chen Mu thought for a while and said, "You are the manager, and your salary depends on the performance of the farm, so Brother Zhou, you can do whatever you want."

Zhou Peng said "hmm", and after a while he suddenly said: "By the way, in the morning, Uncle Chen Wu came over and said that at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, the resident personnel of your village's poverty alleviation group will hold a meeting. You were named to attend and you cannot be absent, uncle. You can’t even go.”

Chen Mu had rested enough and was about to get up to plant a few trees. Hearing this, he said in surprise: "Huh?"

name?

Still can't be absent?
"Did Uncle Wu say what kind of meeting will be held?"

"No, I just told you that you have to attend. If you don't go, the next meeting will be held at the forest farm."

Chen Mu, who was about to say not to go, was choked.

He opened his mouth, but not knowing what to say, he closed it again and decided to plant a few trees to clear his mind.

I got up and was about to enter the store when I saw smoke and dust rising from the road in the distance. A few seconds later, more than ten mountain bikes rode quickly from a distance.

They are fully equipped with helmets, protection, tents, etc.

Chen Mu was not surprised at all.

Although the road in front of you is a branch road, in spring, summer and autumn every year, this road often passes by some cyclists who come to experience the Northwest long-distance cycling loop. They occasionally buy some supplies in the store.

The leader stopped in front of the store, picked up a book pinned to the beam, and flipped through it. The people behind him also stopped at the same time and asked, "Tong Dongdong, is that so?"

"Dongdong?"

Tong Dongdong nodded: "That's it!"

They cheered, stopped their vehicles one after another, and began to repair on the spot.

Those who buy water buy water, those who pump gas pump, and those who replace parts replace parts.

Chen Mu also started to get busy and told them how to fetch water so that they could wash their faces and hands happily.

The leader came over and said, "Boss, is this the place where you can stay overnight in the oasis tent mentioned on the Zhengtu Travel website?"

Zhengtu Travel Network?

A little familiar.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Mu remembered that the founder of Zhengtu Travel Network seemed to be Lu Zheng, one of the five people he received for the first time.

He nodded: "That should be it."

After all, the other party didn't say that they would include this place before they left, and there was some unpleasantness that time. Although the pictures in the introduction album were also sent by them, and the fisherman Zhao Kai also helped introduce a few tourists, but later he didn't Contact me, he hasn’t checked the website yet, so he’s really not sure whether it’s true or not.

After receiving the reply, Tong Dongdong scratched his head, pointed at his group, and said half-embarrassed and half-serious: "We are all college students. We took advantage of the summer break to ride in the northwest. We saw you here on Zhengtu.com. , I was very yearning for it, so I rode over here directly. But we don’t have much money, so can we just pay for food and spend the night here in our own tent? "

Chen Mu looked the other person up and down. Although the other person's face was so dark that he could only see a pair of eyes and a set of big white teeth, he knew from the clear eyes of the other person that the other person was definitely not lying.The man chuckled. Although he was at least 1.8 meters tall and had muscles on his body, he looked like a long and thin dog. When he smiled again, he looked like a fool.

He was talking happily and didn't show off at all. He put his hand on Chen Mu's shoulder very familiarly: "If these are not enough, we can also use the work to deduct it." He patted his chest and made a strong gesture with great confidence. The classic sailor pose: "Look, it's all muscles."

After several other repairs were completed, the people who came to collect water from the well also came over after hearing this. They took water in their hands and nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, we can live with work. Don't worry, boss, we are all very capable." of!"

"If it's possible, we can work for a few more days..." Before he could finish his words, he was elbowed by the brother next to him.

He whispered: "What are you talking about!"

Chen Mu looked at the thirteen people riding in this group one by one. They all looked like mature social people, but their eyes were as clear as college dogs.

In the distance, several people who were replacing parts on the car gathered together. One of them had her hair tied up, but from the shiny top of her head, she could see that this must be a girl who had not showered for at least four days.

She scratched her head and said carelessly: "Can Dongdong do it?"

"It should be OK. The reviews on the website about this boss are that he is a nice person and easy to talk to. He just doesn't like being photographed, so it should be OK."

"Oh! I hope it works." The speaker touched his belly and looked at the supplies in the car: "Otherwise we will not be able to reach our destination."

A girl with a pale face and looking a little wilted and a boy with black eye circles. Although he was trying hard to stay energetic, he could still tell that the other person was a little uncomfortable and said embarrassedly.

"If it hadn't been for the two of us getting sick, we wouldn't have..."

"What are you talking about? Don't say these depressing words."

"That's right, if you want to blame it, you have to blame Meng Fei, who is still the accountant in charge of our entire team. I don't know how to include emergency funds in advance..."

Chen Mu, who was on the other side, listened to the few words coming from the wind. He was still a little hesitant at first, but when he heard the word accountant, his eyes immediately lit up and he nodded in agreement.

"can!"

"But you have to help me make grass squares and plant trees. I heard that there is an accountant in your team. He has to help me settle the accounts. In exchange, I don't charge for food, bathing, and accommodation."

After hearing this, several people around him stopped fighting for conditional treatment and nodded in agreement.

One of them looked smart and ran directly to the crowd and told them the good news.

"thank you boss!"

"The boss is so handsome!"

"Boss atmosphere!"

Chen Mu smiled after listening to the other party's compliments, and then divided them into groups according to their wishes. Those who didn't want to plant trees went to plant grass squares next to the oasis, and the others followed Qian Wei to plant Mongolian almond seeds.

Although the land has been cultivated, it is still a bit troublesome to dig holes, bury the seeds and water them. There will be free labor, of course, we must use it quickly.

Generally speaking, most people who enjoy cycling are wild-tempered and can chat with anyone.

But this group of people was obviously extraordinary. The shy ones actually accounted for the majority. After hearing the allocation, they didn't argue or protest, and just started to work obediently.

The obedient Chen Mu felt a little guilty.

Guilty be damned, but things must be done.

He took the accountant away. When he heard that the other person was an accounting major, Chen Mu's eyes lit up and he directly brought him the bill list that he had kept from the day the contract was contracted.

A good citizen of the country should start by paying taxes.

ten minutes later.

Meng Fei opened the purchase receipts one by one.

The better ones were typed by machine, the average ones were handwritten, and the most disgusting thing was that I wrote a few words at random, which almost drove Meng Fei, an accounting student, crazy.

Especially when he heard that only 120 yuan could be paid out and the money received was only [-], he almost scratched his head like a henhouse.

Is it okay to run away now?

It can only be said that that afternoon, Chen Mu had a very fulfilling life, while Meng Feiguo was very devastated.

……

That night, Chen Mu smiled very happily when he looked at his hand-written account books and computer version of the account books, each of which was clearly written.

"The account is finally sorted out!"

And when the white workers finished their work after a busy day and sat by the fire, they were all paralyzed with exhaustion.

Father Chen felt particularly distressed when he saw these children who were one or two years younger than his own son. One of them made a nest for them to hide eggs in ostrich milk.

This method is somewhat similar to the method of making soup. Add sun-dried, fried and ground wheat seeds or highland barley to the milk. After boiling the milk, pour it directly into a bowl with beaten eggs, and use hot milk to rinse the eggs.

If you like sweet food, add some milk residue or sugar.

If you like salty food, add sesame oil, light soy sauce, sesame oil and chopped green onion.

When drinking, you can still chew the highland barley grains. You can chew and drink at the same time. At the end, there will still be a layer of highland barley left in the bowl, but at this time the highland barley has been soaked with milk. You can clearly feel it when chewing. The wonderful feeling of milk squirting into your mouth.

Especially the salty one. Add sesame oil and light soy sauce to the camel milk. After stirring evenly, it will have an extremely thick yogurt texture. It tastes different from the smooth taste of camel milk. When you drink it, it will be in your mouth. The foreign body sensation is very strong.

But this kind of salty taste is just for drinking milk, and the taste of wheat seeds or highland barley grains inside is not that amazing.

The smell of camel milk nest eggs is very good, the fragrance is rich and long-lasting, and the children of tourists want it after smelling it.

If children want to eat, adults will naturally want to eat too.

So even if I heard that a hidden egg costs [-] yuan, and that the camel milk was [-] yuan, I would just pay for it without changing my expression, which made Father Chen, who was in charge of collecting the money, very happy for most of the night.

It was just dawn the next morning, and the group of children riding bicycles were preparing to set off in order to catch up with the progress.

Before leaving, Chen Mu gave each of them fifty. The young man, who had rested well, ate well, and had a good bath, was very excited after receiving the money, and repeatedly said that he would help him with more sales when he returned. , you must come and experience it completely if you have the opportunity in the future.

After leaving QQ messages one by one, Chen Mu watched them go away with a smile.

From yesterday’s chat, I learned that these children are all members of a school cycling club. The president, Tong Dongdong, is particularly business-minded and would occasionally take on some business activities.

Members also earn some money from commercial activities.

So when Zhengtu Travel announced that there was going to be a northwest parade, he also received a commercial event for mountain biking in the northwest. It was just a holiday, and they started riding.

Young people have a certain spirit.

Especially young people like them who can afford their own living expenses and make money before they graduate are even more enthusiastic.

So a group of more than a dozen people each raised two thousand, determined not to give up no matter how hard it was, and not to be like asking for money from home no matter how hard it was, so they started their own cycling journey.

It's a pity that with only ambition, many things have been ignored, and there is a huge difference between the northwest and their riding on the road and in the city.

First of all, the northwest wind is strong and the resistance is high, which consumes more energy than in the plains; secondly, the further you go northwest, the higher the altitude, and cycling will increase the burden on the heart and lungs again, so not long after arriving here, A few people developed high blood pressure and had to undergo oxygen inhalation and repair. After they recovered, two more people fell ill.

In this way, the money is almost spent before the destination is reached.

However, each one of them still gritted his teeth and refused to quit, insisting on reaching the destination.

"Alas!" Shaking his head and wishing their next trip a smooth journey, Chen Mu turned around and entered the store and began to catch up on his sleep.
