Chapter 45: The sky-high jujube

There is always a thin and thick fog in the morning in the middle of the mountain village. Today's fog is a thin layer. The green mountains behind the house are like noble ladies wearing gauze, everything looks faintly. The cheerful birds in the forest make the hanger scream loudly, too:

"Get up, get up!"

"Don't make a noise!" Wang Han, who was still dreaming, was very dissatisfied with the lord who disturbed his sleep.

"Get up quickly! We will go to the mountain to get dates in a while. Brother Wang Yong said that the person who collects dates will come this morning. After the dates are picked, we will go back to Beijing. Hurry up! But you are the only one left, and everyone else is ready to go up the mountain." Wang Qian said to Wang Han while combing her hair in front of the mirror.

"Ah! I haven't slept enough yet." Wang Han pouted and stuck his head out of the quilt reluctantly.

"You little lazy, hurry up! I'll go out for dinner first. Master, let's go for dinner." After saying that, Wang Qian stretched out her arm, and after the master flew up, she turned around and went out of the door.

At this time, Brother Wang Yong and others had already finished their breakfast and were about to go up the mountain. When Wang Qian saw that she stopped eating, she followed her up the mountain.

At this time, the sun jumping out of Dongshan Ding had dispersed the thin layer of morning mist. A few white clouds floated in the blue sky, constantly changing shapes. Wang Gang looked at it for a long time but couldn't see what these clouds were thinking? Could it be that the burning clouds written in this textbook were made up by the author? It shouldn't be! With doubts, Wang Gang followed the army and walked towards the orchard on the mountain.

The two lively guys, Xiao Hei and Xiaobai, couldn't stop for a moment, and kept running around in the crowd. From time to time, they would rush into the grass to drive out a piece of grasshoppers, but it was cheaper that the little pitiful person who followed their butts should be full and disdainful of these grasshoppers. The grasshoppers in autumn cannot grow, as the farm proverb says. When the weather is cold, these guys will become fewer and fewer.

The group slowly walked to the area of ​​the jujube trees in the orchard. The jujube trees full of red dates bent over by the heavy dates. Compared with ordinary jujube trees, the jujubes in Wang Yong's jujube garden are surprisingly consistent in the ripening period. There is no green date, and the whole tree is red and very pleasing to the eye.

"Do it! I can't wait." Wang Gang, who had never done this before, was very excited and suggested anxiously with a wooden pole in his hand.

"I have to wait a while. The buyer said he wanted to take a few photos of the jujube tree for promotion. Wait a minute, it should be almost here." After that, Wang Yong looked at his phone and showed that the time had reached 7:52. The agreed time was around 8:00, and it was almost there.

"Aunt, Auntie, I'm here!" Mingming broke free from the hand held by grandpa and ran quickly towards Wang Qian.

"Boy, have you eaten?" Wang Yong teased Xiao Ming.

"Eat, full."

Before Wang Yong could say anything, someone went up the mountain again. This time it was Gao Hui and the only young people left in the village. These guys are no worse than working outside. Every family bought a truck to carry, and it was easy to get together for more than 100,000 yuan a year. It is rare to get together like this today, probably because of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Brother, we're here to help. Hurry up and smoke one of your good cigarettes." Gao Hui never was polite to Wang Yong due to his brother Dawei and Wang Yong's close relationship.

Wang Yong glared at the boy, took out a pack of unopened jade stream from his pocket and threw it to him. Then he said:

"I have to wait a while. People say they want to take a few photos of the jujube tree for promotion." As soon as Wang Yong finished speaking, he saw a black sedan and two vans driving up the mountain from a distance.

"Here you come! Finally, it's here, but I'm so waiting!" Wang Gang complained. The man is now thinking about trying the fun of harvest. He keeps gesturing at the jujube tree in his hand.

"Here! Come!" The starling master shouted while flying, even this guy was anxious, which made everyone laugh.

Three cars parked near the greenhouse at the foot of the mountain, and the uncle who was in the greenhouse led seven or eight people to the mountain. When they walked into Wang Yong, they found that Li Jigang had also followed him, and chatted with his uncle. There was also a middle-aged man in his forties in his suit and lace, gold-rimmed glasses, and dressed as a successful person. Six people followed behind him were probably the driver and the worker.

"Wang Yong, let me introduce you to you. This is Mr. Zhang Chunhui and Mr. Zhang from Jingcheng Shenghe Trading Company. Lao Zhang, this is the mysterious supplier in our store." Li Jigang introduced.

"Hello! Mr. Zhang, welcome to Banshan Village!" Wang Yong and Mr. Zhang shook hands and said.

"By the way, Lao Zhang and Wang Yong are the village chiefs." Li Jigang interrupted.

"Young and promising! It's not simple, it's really not simple!" Mr. Zhang said with emotion.

"Mr. Zhang has been awarded the award, I am just lucky."

"This is not something that is lucky. The weather, place, and people are indispensable. Just say that you are a greenhouse vegetable, now you are proud of eating vegetables in Lao Li and his hotel. It's not easy to eat it once!"

"Haha, if Mr. Zhang likes to eat, you can go to the greenhouse to pick some and take them back and eat them slowly."

"Then I'm not polite! I really can't get a list of this dish when I want to eat it as a person in Beijing. I have to try it well now." Mr. Zhang immediately added 20% of his first impression of Wang Yong. Vegetables that are priceless in Beijing are delivered as soon as they say they are given, which is very rare and generous!

Just as the few people were chatting, one of the people brought by Mr. Zhang had already started taking pictures with his camera. The others were also workers who picked jujubes specially found by Mr. Zhang. Several workers saw that the big wooden pole in Wang Gang was raised high and was about to fall on the jujube tree, so they rushed up and grabbed the pole.

Seeing that Wang Yong was very confused about this matter, Mr. Zhang hurriedly explained:

"Generally speaking, we use poles to harvest dates, but our dates are counted by one pound," he stretched out three fingers and continued: "If you hit such an expensive thing, you will always bump if you hit it with a pole. If you have scars, it will be worthless."

After hearing what Mr. Zhang said, Wang Yong understood. Indeed, this thing was too expensive. It seemed that he could only ask for more people to help. He turned around and looked at his uncle. He obviously thought about the matter clearly. Seeing Wang Yong asking about his opinion, he nodded and said, "I'll go down the mountain now and go to the village to broadcast it. Please help me pick dates and give my wages."

"Well, let's count on one person first, just one hundred, call more people, finish work early, let's go to Beijing early. What do you think?" Wang Yong discussed with his uncle.

"Sure, let's do it! You guys do it first, I'll go to the village to find someone." After that, the uncle hurried to the village.

Everyone has already started picking dates under the guidance of the workers brought by Mr. Zhang. There are eighteen jujube trees in total. The largest one is estimated to be about 300 kilograms, and the smallest one is estimated to be less than 100 kilograms. According to the people in Mr. Zhang's company, the total number is about kilograms. The jujube trees have thorns and will be pierced if they are not careful, so the speed seems quite slow.

These people at home are responsible for picking the dates one by one from the tree. The people brought by Mr. Zhang will choose the picks and divide them into three grades. They correspond to the first, second, third, first, and third, the second. The main thing is to consider the appearance, especially the size.

"Mr. Zhang, I really didn't say that these dates are all first-class. Most of them are grade ones. The rest can be ranked second-level, and there are basically no third-level ones. Look at the tree, there is no green date on it, all red." A worker reported to Mr. Zhang.

"Well, then don't put the third-level box, just put it in two packaging: first-level and second-level packages!" Mr. Zhang quickly made a decision. The dates were hung on the tree. The quality was obvious at a glance. What's more, what was sold this time was not the appearance, but the special substances it contained.

Seeing that Wang Yong was very interested in the packaging on the ground, Mr. Zhang introduced these packaging like Wang Yong.

It turns out that all agricultural products from General Manager Zhang will be divided into three levels for sale. There is no difference in the appearance of the packaging. The difference lies in the size of the packaging box. The first-level packaging box is the smallest, such as the ones that hold dates today, can only hold about one kilogram. The second-level packaging box can hold about three kilograms, while the third-level packaging box can hold about ten kilograms. What you bring today are all inner packaging, and after returning to Beijing, they will be packed with color printed cartons before they can be sold.

Li Jigang followed the two of them without saying a word. He held an apple named "Victory" picked from the tree and suddenly heard the sound of a tweeter coming from the village:

"Please be careful, villagers, please be careful! Today, Wang Yong's orchard needs a lot of people to help him pick dates. The wages are 100 per person, and he will give them after picking them. If you have free time, hurry up to the mountain to help pick dates. If you want to go, hurry up!"

Wang Dahai repeated it again in the loudspeaker. Then, the originally calm mid-mountain village seemed to be running. First, a group of children appeared on the way up the mountain. Then, some young and middle-aged people, riding motorcycles, electric bikes, bicycles, or walking, rolling all the way. In a short while, the few jujube trees were crowded with people. In an instant, the orchard became lively.

Some children saw that there was no place on the ground, so they simply climbed onto the trees, picked the dates and stuffed them into their mouths while putting them in a bag hanging on the tree branches. So the adults below laughed and scolded, reminded "beware of safety", and the jokes of the older girls and wives, the screams of some naughty children chasing the little squirrels, and the shouts of the "shanger, hanger" like the host joins in the fun... mixed together to form a picture of extremely vivid labor. The technician who took photos of the jujube tree kept pressing the shutter, recording the cheerful and harvest scene. A few years later, these photos immediately caused a huge response after being published, bringing him unexpected and huge gains.

The elderly in the village are very familiar with this scene. This was how they did it back then. Before the rural area implemented the family contract responsibility system, the situation of working in one piece of land and eating in the same pot was so similar to the scene in front of them! In that passionate era, people fought with the sky, the earth, and the people with their passion, working hard for a common goal - building a strong motherland. The blood and sweat they had left behind in the mountains and fields. Now, they are old and the country is really strong, and every family has some spare money. The brick and stone house they live in is spacious, bright and sturdy. No one thinks it is fresh in the electric lights and telephones, and many people even bought cars. This has never been thought about it before! Seeing these next generations getting better and better, they feel that their hardships were worth it, and it is worth it!

Otherwise, there are so many people and great power! Before noon, eighteen jujube trees were picked. Occasionally, there were a few left alone on the tops of the tree.

"One Hundred and Eighty Five, One Hundred and One Hundred and Eight"...

"There are a total of 1,520 kilograms of first-class dates. 1,380 kilograms of second-class dates, and a fraction of them will be wiped." The uncle reported the heavy result.

"The first-level dates are 361 pounds, a total of 547,200, and the second-level dates are 311 pounds, a total of 414,000 yuan. Together, it is 969,200 yuan. Let's make up an integer and count as one million!" Mr. Zhang was very generous, and he gave him 30,000 yuan more in this sentence!

"Don't, like this, there are a few scattered date trees in the orchard. I'll pick another 100 kilograms for you." After saying that, before Mr. Zhang refused, he led a few young people from the village into the depths of the orchard. In less than half an hour, he picked a full bag and came back. One hundred kilograms would definitely be more than that.

One million yuan of cash was put in a large travel bag and Mr. Zhang took it out of the trunk of the car. Unzipped the zipper and shocked the villagers present. This was one million yuan of cash, and the red old people were neatly scribbled in the bag.

"I heard from Lao Li that cash transactions are all important in rural areas, so I went to the bank yesterday to withdraw a million yuan. It was all new money that had just been printed, and it was still a number. Please click it." Mr. Zhang said to Wang Yong.

Wang Yong smiled helplessly. Li Jigang made me suffer. The more I thought about it, the more angry I couldn't help but glared at him fiercely. When he saw him wink at himself and let him look around him. I didn't understand what he meant, so I had to look up.

This look made Wang Yong admire Li Jigang from the bottom of his heart, and this person studied people's hearts thoroughly. It turned out that the villagers around him were staring at the travel bags containing one million on the ground, with envy, jealousy and thought in his eyes. After looking at Wang Yong, there was a sense of admiration in his eyes. Li Jigang and Mr. Zhang jointly used one million cash to conquer the villagers of Banshan Village, and even the entire Liuzhuang Township.

There are many people in Liuzhuang Township who are worth one million yuan, but most of them are all the assets added together. However, this time Wang Yong earned one million after selling more than 2,000 kilograms of dates. This is one million in cash! So many people on the scene saw with their own eyes, full of a large number of travel bags of 100 yuan bills.

From then on, the people in the Banshan Village began to shake in the village. When they met someone who was not convinced, they immediately said: I don’t agree! Then your village also produced a national leader, and also produced a capable person who could sell vegetables to twenty or thirty-one pounds, an egg to one hundred, and a date to more than 300 pounds.

In order to thank these two for their painstaking design, Wang Yong helped him establish his prestige. He secretly picked some dishes from the small world and told them that this was a special selection of fine dishes, which was much better than the previous dishes. The two of them said they had made a profit!

After seeing off the two of them, Wang Yong unzipped the zipper of the bag in front of the big guys. No matter how big it was, one was counted as one, and each person sent a red ticket. Even the second master, second uncle and the others did not pull it down, each person was one.

Since my uncle and his family were going back to Beijing in the afternoon, Wang Yong and Yuanyuan also wanted to go to Beijing together. The old saying goes, "Donuts for farewell and noodles for the house." So at noon, everyone had a lively meal of dumplings together.
