Chapter 476 476. Add a cover to the back mountain
This summer is extremely hot. It’s just the first day of Xiaoshu and the temperature has already soared to 39 degrees.
Vegetarian Zhao drove to Song Tan's house. He drank two bowls of white fungus soup in the yard and then wiped his sweat:
"This The temperature is too high!”
Wu Lei, who was busy moving watermelons from the back mountain to the car, looked at him sadly——
The source of his daily labor pain was the thick-browed and big-eyed Lao Zhao in front of him!
Damn it! Either I go to the vegetable garden early in the morning to pick vegetables, or I pick watermelons under the sun in the afternoon...
I have only been working at Song Tan's house for half a month now, and my whole body is tanned. When I look in the mirror, I just I can show off my white teeth (the cavities cannot be seen inside)...
Even because she is getting darker and darker, Lili... Lili has refused to accept videos recently!
Wulei felt extremely uncomfortable.
But he gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and there was a tragic feeling of fighting for love in his heart——
Lili, wait for me! When I pay for our future down payment, we will never be separated again!
On the other hand, Zhang Yanping looked at his back and sighed in a superior yet sad tone:
“Fortunately, I have a better head... You said he was working here. It’s quite hard work. But with this kind of effort, if you can find the same job anywhere, your monthly salary would be at least two or three times what you get here, right?” A down payment, at least it is not a problem to save one or two hundred thousand for the family... Why did he——"
"Who knows?"
Song Tan also glanced at the increasingly majestic Wu Lei's back:
"Maybe he still loves his family at heart."
Zhang Yanping:... ...I'm afraid you are trying to say he is stupid.
At this moment, I heard Lao Zhao sigh again: "The weather is so hot this year, you will definitely be able to sell watermelons for a long time! Why didn't you plant more in the first place?"
Isn’t that much?
Song Tan couldn't help but be speechless - at that time, if she hadn't bought the mountain and ran out of money, she could have divided the watermelon field into dozens of portions and planted a little of each kind she wanted to eat.
Old Zhao is now also an important partner, and his treatment has been upgraded. She poured him a cup of old tea leaves. At this moment, the tea was in front of him, but he was still embarrassed:
"If it is ordinary I definitely don’t say this about watermelons, but your melons are so delicious—oh! You don’t know, we don’t sell them to other places, but now there are people driving their cars to buy them from my place every afternoon.”
“Melons costing 100 yuan apiece, I started asking for 100 yuan... People came to buy them on behalf of others!”
But there is no other way. He is also fighting a protracted war here, and there are not many watermelons every day. If he gives out these 100, his old customers will no longer be able to entertain them, so he has to give up.
Song Tan doesn't care whether it's a purchasing agent, a wholesaler, or a second-tier dealer...
After all, she only has so many watermelons. Even if a wholesaler comes to her door, she won't be able to give her a large amount at one time. .
Because there is no production, she hasn’t worried about finding wholesalers yet.
When word of mouth starts to ferment after this year, you don’t have to worry about it next year, people will find it on their own.
Lao Zhao has been working as a stall owner in the vegetable market for many years, and now he is quite experienced in business. At this moment, he was babbled:
“I’m telling you, Taolin is actually not suitable for growing watermelons. No matter how much space there is, it’s still blocking the way. Sunshine - watermelons can't be interplanted! "
"Next year, just plant soybeans and find a hill for watermelons - don't you have a hill? "
The place is big, so it can definitely be planned like this.
Song Tan responded: "Don't worry."
She turned around and received another call from logistics - her fruit box had arrived.
Old Zhao became excited:
"How many are in the first batch?"
"1,000. They are in the suburban logistics center. I will bring them back tomorrow."< br>
Old Zhao waved his hand: "What are you pulling? Isn't the logistics center just out of the city? There are people on duty there 24 hours a day. I will bring it to you when I pull the food tomorrow. "The driver is my nephew. It's okay to arrange for him to do some work - if you are willing, give him a watermelon!"
"Okay!"
Song Tan was very generous when it came to moving, "Two for you!"
Old Zhao suddenly smiled and narrowed his eyes: " Okay! Don’t worry! I’ll get it done for you!”
Then he looked at her expectantly: “When will the peaches on the mountain be sold?”
Song Tan thought for a while: "Tomorrow, we will arrange picking as soon as the packing boxes arrive here tomorrow morning, and bring the goods to the live broadcast room. Do you want them there? For convenience, this batch is sold by the box."
"How to sell it? What price?"
Old Zhao instantly became energetic.
Song Tan: "... I haven't decided on the price yet. You can taste it tonight before deciding."
At first, we planned to order 40 per pound, but everyone thought it was a bit expensive, after all, the mountain Each of the big peaches weighs half a catty. But that day I picked a few and took them home to try...
Okay!
Both Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun agreed.
No, I am thinking about trying the most ripe peaches again, and finally set a price.
"You are really..." There is no rush at all!
We will start picking tomorrow, and we will only start bringing the goods tomorrow. We haven’t decided on the price yet...Old Zhao couldn’t help but be speechless.
He sat in the air-conditioned room for a while and drank two bowls of iced white fungus soup. He felt dry all over. Seeing the sun setting, he simply slapped his butt and said, "I'll go to the mountains and have a look."
Song Tan thought for a moment, then followed with a basket: "Okay, let's pick some first and taste them, and I'll bring you a few later."
This moved Old Zhao——
“You are so generous now!”
What you said...won’t there be 6,000 fruit boxes in the future? Having someone to guide her along the way saved her from having to make a special trip to the city!
But there is no need to say this in such detail.
Waiting to climb up the back mountain, Lao Zhao opened his mouth and looked at the rope net set up high on the orchard. He couldn't help but be speechless at this moment:
"You are building a house, defensively" Isn’t it too strict?”
Song Tan also sighed: “You think I want it! The birds come to eat the fruit before it is ripe, and I can’t drive it away...”< br>
After all, there are 20 acres of land. Even if the king breaks his leg while running in the mountains, he can’t fully protect the 20 acres of land. He simply sets up a layer of netting, which is regarded as a 360-degree hollow cover, and is closely guarded.
The mesh should be as fine as possible to keep birds of all sizes out.
Old Zhao looked at it for a while, then looked at the groups of particularly bold birds standing on the net outside, and couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't there that kind of particularly thin wire mesh now? ? It seems lighter than this, your rope seems a bit heavy... Why don't you use that one?"
Song Tan sighed:
"The people from the Forestry Bureau said that there is a net like that. Many of them have bird-sticking properties. If you don’t pay attention, the bird’s talons can easily get stuck and it won’t be able to fly... If it’s one of the national first and second national standards, I’ll be in trouble.”
"So, just in case, I still use this thick line, just to add a cover to the back mountain."
The best-tasting hawkbill peaches are not the oversized ones, but the ones that weigh about four taels each. Crisp and sweet, the taste of peaches from childhood.
I really love it!
