The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Peaches cost 18 cents per pound, which is 800 pounds per day, which is more than 140 yuan.

When the news came out, a whole team of people exploded.

Everyone was excited, and the members were even more excited. The members who were assigned tasks got up early every day to collect peaches. Even the bear parents began to restrain their children from going to the orchards to cause trouble.

When other teams received the news and saw the few dozen fruit trees in their teams, they felt nothing but envy and regret.

When the task was issued last year, not only did they not plant all the plants, but they also selected newly grown seedlings. It would take at least two years to wait for the results.

In such a warm atmosphere, the sunflowers at the base are also full of seeds.

Zhu Xiaomin and Xie Chengzhi immediately applied to the team.

Since there was still the task of planting trees, all members could not be transferred to the base, so the team adjusted the tasks after discussion.

Fruit groves and sunflowers have always been projects under the responsibility of the educated youth production team, so the educated youth production team is inevitable. In addition, there are more than 30 strong laborers from the Wangjiacun production team. They get up early in the morning to harvest peaches, and then transfer to the base to harvest sunflowers. , while picking the sunflowers to the threshing floor outside the village.

Since these two tasks are easier than digging and pulling mountains, but they take a long time, the same work points are recorded, and the team will have an extra breakfast.

At the threshing floor, women from the Liushu Village Production Team and the Xujiatun Production Team, who usually could not work or earn work points, sat on mats, peeled out sunflower seeds, and dried them directly on the threshing floor.

Because this job is easier, in addition to delivering a lunch, four work points are deducted a day.

It didn’t matter that Wangjia Village had strong laborers participating in picking peaches and sunflowers. When other villages heard that Liushu Village and Xujiatun had arranged such easy work for women who couldn’t usually earn work points, they immediately complained and came to the brigade. Ask for explanation.

Gu Mancang had no choice but to regroup and let the twenty natural villages sign up by themselves. The number of people was evenly divided into three groups and they took turns to work. This was to balance everyone.

These matters were arranged by the brigade. Zhu Xiaomin did not participate. He just waited until the first batch of sunflower seeds was dried, called Yang Aijun and He Wenhua, filled dozens of sacks of sunflower seeds and loaded them with peaches, and the four of them rushed to the county together. inside.

Seeing that more than half of a month had passed, the grain and oil still had not kept up. Yan Yimin urged Chen Xudong every time. Hearing that the sunflower seeds had finally arrived, he was overjoyed. He unloaded the peaches first, leaving Chen Xudong to settle the accounts with the staff, and then brought them himself. Then we went to the oil press.

There was no work left in the oil mill two months ago. After being notified by him, today everyone came to wait. When they saw the sunflower seeds being unloaded from the truck, they immediately weighed them and started a fire.

Today we need to weigh the sunflower seeds first, then wait until the oil comes out, then weigh the oil, calculate the oil rate, and then set the price of the sunflower seeds.

Therefore, after unloading the sunflower seeds, not only Zhu Xiaomin, Yang Aijun, and He Wenhua stayed, but even Yan Yimin and two staff members did not leave.

As the oil press worked step by step, both parties kept records.

Since the sunflower seeds have been dried on the threshing floor for two full days after being peeled off, all the remaining water in the sunflower seeds has been dried, and the amount of oil absorption will not be high, so there is no need to shell the sunflower seeds. Grind the flour, then put it into a basket, and turn the raw material into mature material.

There are ten large stoves in a row, with four layers of steamers on each stove. Each set of steamers contains a hundred pounds of sunflower seed powder.

The man I met before explained: "The cakes produced from each cage are exactly the amount of the oil press. When the first press is completed, the oil yield rate of the sunflower seeds can be known.

Therefore, they only need to wait for the oil squeezed from the first cage to come out and weigh it, and then they can price the sunflower seeds.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, asked about the time of release, and went out to help weigh the sunflower seeds behind.

Yan Yimin also came out and saw Chen Xudong and another staff member coming over. They signed the list for him and waved to him: "Zhu Zhiqing, Chen Zhiqing, don't worry, let's sit over there." He pointed. A broken table in the corner of the yard.

Zhu Xiaomin knew that he had something to talk about, so he asked Chen Xudong to come with him, pulled a bench and sat down opposite him.

Yan Yimin didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "How much more can you add to your peaches now?"

Can I increase the amount?

Zhu Xiaomin immediately said: "There is no statistics on this. Peaches are easy to spoil when picked. We pick as many as we give away. How come the 800 kilograms are not enough for the county to sell?"

Yan Yimin waved his hand: "There are only so many people in our county, and there are still people who are reluctant to eat. Eight hundred pounds plus won't add much. The day before yesterday, the county leaders went to the city for exchanges and brought some of your peaches. Several counties are interested in wanting them." .”

"How many counties?" Zhu Xiaomin was surprised, "Secretary, it is best to pick these peaches freshly. Those counties that are close to each other are fine, but those that are far away need to be transported."

Yan Yimin nodded: "Now I will ask you about your production volume first. If it is feasible, then we will study the transportation issue."

Zhu Xiaomin pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Xudong, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I can't say exactly how many kilograms will be picked, but two more eight hundred kilograms will be no problem."

Yan Yimin nodded: "There is nothing we can do about distant counties. The surrounding counties can be considered. Otherwise, let's try first?"

The more peaches sold, the better. Zhu Xiaomin naturally had no objection and nodded and said: "Sure, as for the transportation, they just have to inform us of the regulations. Anyway, Chen Xudong will come every day."

Yan Yimin was in a dilemma: "Do they mean the same as what we have here, that you will deliver the goods?"

"We deliver goods?" Zhu Xiaomin was stunned, and shook his head helplessly for a while, "Secretary, our brigade only has this tractor, and the others are mule carts and donkey carts. The peaches and sunflower seeds are already a full cart, so how can we go to other places?" Which county should I send it to?"

"Can't we borrow a tractor from another team?" Yan Yimin asked.

Chen Xudong also looked helpless: "Secretary, the speed of this tractor is here. It takes me a whole morning to go to the county seat, and then it takes a day to go to other counties. It requires more than just the tractor driver. We still need our people to follow.”

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "The important thing is that the forest farm also has the task of afforestation even in the leisure time. No production team does not use vehicles. It is okay to squeeze in for a day or two occasionally. I am afraid it will be difficult to borrow a vehicle every day."

Hearing what she said made sense, Yan Yimin nodded and sighed: "I originally thought that they have needs and you have things, which is a good thing. Looking at it this way, it is really not easy."

Zhu Xiaomin thought for a while and said: "Secretary, I think that although these peaches are freshly picked, they can't be stored for a day. If their county goes directly to us to pick up the goods, it should be OK to pick them up for two to three days at a time." ."
