Niu male

One morning at the beginning of the first lunar month, Lao Zhou took a tricycle of buns and steamed buns to Shangshui Village. Although there are also special cooks in Shangshui Village, these buns, steamed buns, dried vegetables and pickled vegetables are basically transported from the courtyard. past.

Houwazi and Xiao Shulin didn't go, because it would take a long time to go, they went up to the mountain to feed the monkeys in the afternoon, and the food in Niuwang Village was good during the Chinese New Year, and the monkeys also enjoyed themselves. They all ate well, the monkeys were in a good mood, and the sheep were well taken care of. It's a pity that Lao Zhou bought lambs late this year, and it was far from the time to slaughter them, so this year's cattle The foodies in Wangzhuang were unable to eat mutton.

A few days ago, during the new year and the new year, Lao Zhou also had people transport a lot of chicken, duck and fish to Shangshui Village. Except for the original villagers of Shangshui Village, most of them saw the recruitment information on the Internet. Well, those who come here by car from a long distance must ask people to spend a good year here.

Some of these new year's goods are produced by Niuwangzhuang, and many of them are purchased by Hou Fatty and the glasses boy who went to Tongcheng. Luo Mengna must be very relieved, but worried that the price would not be controlled, so Lin Chunyu, the female accountant, followed.

Glasses boy and the others are now fully planning to take root in Niuwangzhuang. Glasses boy learned management from Chen Guanshi. His parents came to Niuwangzhuang a while ago and sat in the courtyard for a long time, talking to Chen Guanshi. said a lot.

With this said, they naturally knew that Guanshi Chen was a graduate of a famous school and a manager of a well-known foreign company. His background was quite remarkable in their area. Such a remarkable person, they all felt reasonable.Chen Guanshi said that this child is not bad, if he stays in Niuwangzhuang and learns from himself, he will not be too bad in the future. Of course, if their parents can find a better way, then he will not stop them.

What can this pair of parents do? In a small place and a small family, you have to rely on yourself for everything, so you just hope your son will be successful in the future, don't be like them.Seeing that people like Chen Jianhua have gone to work under Lao Zhou's subordinates now, and his son is taken by him personally, why would he be willing to get him back?Maybe it really has a bright future?Doesn't that mean that his life is ruined?

The older one is simpler, the family situation is not very good, after graduating from high school, he failed to pass the college entrance examination, and he actually couldn’t afford to go to college after graduating from high school. He came out to make a living by himself, and his parents also agreed by default, so naturally they would not stop him.

Seeing that my son is living well in Niuwangzhuang now, eating well and living well, he has jumped up a few centimeters, his body has become stronger, and his face has become rosy. Since he went to Shangshui Village , Salary and so on, Lao Zhou did not lose him.I stayed home for two days in the first month, and when I told my family about my work in Niuwangzhuang, my parents and relatives agreed to let him work hard in Niuwangzhuang. When he is capable in the future, he will help the two younger brothers. younger sister.

Fatty's matter is more troublesome. This guy has no ambitions. Before he came to Niuwangzhuang with the glasses boy and the others, a large part of it was caused by herd mentality. He had played well with the glasses boy and the big one. Everyone said they were going to come to Niuwangzhuang, so he followed.

This time, it’s incredible, the food is good, except for the hard work of building the reservoir, the later work is not very tiring, this guy is also in good health and has strength, after getting used to it, he feels that the days are quite nourishing. Cozy, mainly because when it’s time for meals, there is something to look forward to, and Lao Zhou has to pass through them first when he wants to get anything on the mountain. Sometimes he can eat for free, and sometimes he has to pay for it, so he doesn’t worry about having money at all. If you can't buy it, the fat man's money is basically filled to his stomach.

The situation in this fat man's house is not bad. Originally, his father planned to let him suffer a little bit in Niuwangzhuang to be lazy, and then gain experience with old Zhou Changchang. It would be even better if he could learn some skills when he came back. Looking at it for a few months, every day is either for work or for food, and the various specialties of Niuwangzhuang are often acquired at home.

They asked their son to go to Niuwangzhuang. They didn't want to eat these things. Although the food was really good, they still hoped that their son would be successful in the future. The same person was sent to Shangshui Village to work with Chen Gang, so it seemed like that, but what about him now?What is the future of farming and eating every day?

Fatty's father also went to Niuwangzhuang in the first month. Lao Zhou happened to be there at the time, so he sat down and chatted with him for a while. Fatty's father said that his son is still young, so he should learn more now. , Working so hard every day, what will happen in the future?

They are all fathers. When Lao Zhou heard this, he felt the same way, so he asked the fat man: "Then you should see first, what are you interested in? If I can arrange it, I will definitely try my best to arrange it for you."

The fat man sat on a pony in the yard with a big body like a hill. Hearing Lao Zhou's question, his eyes drifted and he drifted towards the cafeteria.

"This won't work, let me tell you, don't even think about it." His father immediately cut off the little flame of his hope.

"That's gone." The fat man put on an attitude that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"If there is no more, you can go home with me. Anyway, the property I own will definitely be yours in the future. It doesn't hurt to learn early." Fatty's father's attitude is quite tough.

"I won't go back." The fat man is still young at the moment, and he just graduated from high school. He still doesn't want to take on such a heavy burden, let alone Niuwangzhuang.

"Are you going back?"

"No return."

"If you're disobedient, I won't give you a dime in the future. We'll donate everything we have to the Red Cross."

"You donate, I will work here for the rest of my life, and I won't starve to death anyway."

"You bastard!"

"Is the family in business?" Seeing that the father and son were about to perform martial arts, Lao Zhou hurriedly interrupted.

"No, we started from nothing back then. We started from setting up a street stall. It was not easy. I gave birth to such a bastard. Alas, when I get into the soil, I guess I will lose everything in three to five years." Fatty's father shook his head and sighed.

"What business do you do?" Old Zhou asked again.

"To do trade is to sell things. From the earliest bananas and apples to the later steel and coal, there is nothing we have never sold. Twenty years ago, business was easy to make money and easy to earn. Now it is not easy, but fortunately. A few years ago, I was cruel and took out most of my belongings and put some land outside. Alas, we have no education anyway, and we don’t understand professional things. Playing is money. If you roll well, you will get bigger and bigger. If you don't roll well, then you will get smaller and smaller." Fatty's father is not a gentleman, and his words are very rough, but he is straightforward.

"Oh, our Niuwangzhuang also dumps things, you know?" Luo Meng said with a smile.

"You mean?"

"Slippers." Lao Zhou said, "These things are not produced by ourselves. They are all collected from the Midwest. They come to us to be paired with shoe boxes. Apart from selling some on the Internet, they are mainly exported to foreign countries. There is a foreign trader here, the little girl is quite capable, and a few days ago, she took over a cabinet business, after all, we are just starting out, and we don’t have any old customers, so it’s not bad.”

"Women are so powerful now, and those who are a little bit capable are much better than some men who don't know what to do. They also say that I have a son. Look at this kid. I have an old friend and only a daughter at home. Now that I can help his father, I am envious." The fat man's father talked about his son again.

"This kid is also good, and he does a good job. If he really doesn't want to go back with you, or else, I'll arrange for him to learn from the foreign trade staff in our village first. That girl can speak several foreign languages. Let him go with you first." For a while, I will first know what foreign trade is all about. If he wants to learn in the future, it would be good to learn two languages. Anyway, he is still young, so he can slowly find his own goals. Maybe he can develop your family’s industry in the future. Go abroad."

Tang Yuan has to take orders and ship goods with orders. There is a lot of work, and it is time to arrange a helper for her. This fat man is young, so he should really think about his future development and let him do it for him. Tang Yuan was the right one to start, and she more or less followed suit.

"If this kid can do this, I can rest in peace even if I die." Fatty's father is also very happy that Luo Meng can arrange this. After all, his son is still very young and just graduated from high school. Since he doesn't want to learn business from him, He also didn't want to push him into a hurry, after all, he was only such a son.

"Did you hear that?" Lao Zhou said to the fat man: "From now on, every morning when you go to work, you will visit our office first, ask Tang Yuan if there is anything you can do for her, and if you have work, help her with it. She taught, she is at home for the New Year, and when Tang Yuan comes over, I will also tell her. If there is no work for her, you can find a glasses guy to take the job. Now in our yard every day Isn't he doing the shift work, don't let me be lazy and play tricks just because you two have a good relationship."

"How can I? I am the most diligent." The fat man smiled.

"You're not so self-conscious, kid. You often go back to the yard to look for food before meal time. Do you pretend I don't know?" Old Zhou's eyes were sharp.

"Isn't it because we are more likely to be hungry than others?" The fat man didn't take it seriously. Everyone in Niuwangzhuang knew that Lao Zhou was very smart, and he couldn't hide anything behind his back, but generally as long as he didn't do it It was too much, and he always turned a blind eye.

"Then how many meals do you want to eat a day now? If you continue to eat like this, will you be able to marry a wife in the future?" Fatty's father scolded.If the son is too fat, the parents will have a heart disease. Don’t tell him to eat, feel bad, tell him to eat, and they are afraid of harming him. Don’t talk about the three highs, the shape of the big belly is not in line with the public aesthetics.

"If you can't get married, you have to eat." Daughters-in-law are all invisible things, so why start starving now because of those invisible things?

"You bastard!" Fatty's father scolded a few more words. Don't look at him sometimes scolding very happily, but he is actually proud of it. He thinks that his son has ideas, maverick, and chic personality, just like him, What the hell, anyway, just think about the best, go back in a while, and have to brag to his wife for a long time, what about this kid, he definitely talked about it with gusto.

Lao Zhou rode a tricycle into Shangshui Village. Now the village is well built. Although there are no new houses, everything is cleaned up. With more people, it will naturally become lively. Today The sun came out in the morning, and every family washed clothes and dried quilts, and now they are hanging on the balcony in the yard, which makes the whole village full of life.

In Shangshui Village, there was a three-day holiday from the first to the third day of junior high school, and then they started to go to work. Of course, some people have not come here for the New Year at home, or they want to rest for a few days, and they are not reluctant.It was the morning when I was thoughtful, and some people who were on the evening shift hadn’t started working yet. They were sitting in groups on the side of the road or in the yard basking in the sun, and some were digging the ground with hoes, and they went to the stream pit to wash their hands together. The clothes are full of leisure and fun.

"Hey, this is Lao Zhou, right?" Romon rode a tricycle into the village, and by the side of the stream pit at the entrance of the village, two laundry women looked at him. There were still many people in Shangshui Village. Those who don't know Luo Meng, but they all know that their boss has a nickname called Lao Zhou.

"That's not it." Another older man greeted Romon with a smile: "Old Zhou, why are you here today when you have time?"

"Bring food." Romon replied with a smile.

"What's there to eat? Is there any pork?" During the Chinese New Year, the old Zhous sent a lot of pork to Shangshui Village, and everyone's mouths were full of greasy food. Only two days later, I started thinking again.

"The year is over, how about returning the pork?" Luo Meng planned to kill another pig when it came to the Lantern Festival in two days, but killing a pig now would be a drop in the bucket for the huge Niuwangzhuang. I'm afraid there won't be much to share when the time comes.

I greeted people along the way, and soon arrived at the house allocated for cooking in the village. Now the person in charge of cooking in Shangshui Village has also changed. It is a northerner named Lu Jinshan. It turned out that the aunt who was in charge of cooking , and now I will give him a hand.

"Hey! Lao Zhou is here, what delicious food did you bring us this time?" Lu Jinshan has not been here for a long time, but because of the particularity of his job, he has dealt with Luo Meng twice, So get acquainted.

"It's nothing, I just brought some buns and steamed buns. Didn't you always complain to Manager Chen that there are not enough buns and steamed buns here every day? I just brought some over here today." There are also many pregnant women in Shangshui Village. Han, when Luo Meng set the standards for food, Chen Jianhua also set them high. I didn't expect that it wasn't enough. What if it wasn't enough? They are all workers, so they have to manage enough.

"That's a good relationship, you don't know, those little bastards from the city, look at the gentle ones, how good they taste." Lu Jinshan laughed, rubbed his hands and went to help Romon turn the back of the car. Move down those baskets.

Lu Jinshan is more than 50 years old. He is in good health and has little education. He has been to their city as a migrant worker as far away as possible. He ended his marriage that had dragged on for many years in name only. Unexpectedly, after the divorce, his mother-in-law went to find someone to cry and complain, making all relatives and friends say he was bad, and the children also stood by their mother. The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved the old man got, he packed up two pieces of clothes, and went south alone.

After going south, he worked as a doorman in a small factory. In December last year, a technician in their factory suddenly said that he would resign. Everyone had been working in the same place for a long time. Lu Jinshan and others invited him to go to the food stall to rub A meal can be regarded as practice.

During the dinner, everyone naturally asked him where he planned to go after quitting his job this time, and the technician said that he planned to go to Niuwangzhuang with his wife, and told them what happened to Niuwangzhuang. After hearing this, Jin Shan became overwhelmed, and the next day he packed his bags and followed the technician and his wife. The three of them took the car to Niuwangzhuang. They didn’t even receive their salary for the month, because the company stipulated that resignation should be made one month in advance. I have to leave immediately, and I can't get the money.

The main reason is that Lu Jinshan is aggrieved at this job now. It doesn’t matter if the salary is low. The problem is that he is not respected. He is old, and he is often ordered by their boss to do this or that. Now, the attitude is particularly bad, especially in front of others, Lu Jinshan can't stand it.

After he was on the road, Lu Jinshan was actually a little worried. He is a technician, and he is still young. What is wrong with him? He is old, and he is not as good as a young man even if he has to work hard.

Unexpectedly, things are unpredictable. When he first came to Shangshui Village, he was building Mushroom Peng, and Lu Jinshan followed suit. When it was time to eat, he sometimes couldn't help but tell the cooking aunt how to make this dish What should I do with that dish? It just so happened that the aunt was under a lot of pressure at the time. Everyone thought the food she cooked was not good. They were worried that they would lose their jobs in a short time, so they simply ran to tell Chen Gang and let Lu Jinshan be in charge. , she started.

Chen Gang was also worried about this matter at first. He planned to find a good one later. Now someone recommended him, and he took it seriously. He asked Lu Jinshan to cook two dishes for him. That's right, so the salted fish came back to life, and Lu Jinshan became the master of Shangshui Village.

Those who work, some state-owned enterprises and institutions have retired, and some are as professional as the technicians in their original factory, and there are also college students with good diplomas. At the moment, everyone is Lu Shulu, and he is called awesome. Make out, the beauty in Lu Jinshan's heart.

"What do you mean Feng Shui turns, what is karma cycle? I have lived a hard life because I married a lazy woman. Not to mention earning money to support the family, I have to cook by myself, and my children don't know it. Seeing their old lady drop two golden beans, they all blame me, I feel so aggrieved."

"It's good now. I've lived my whole life, and in the end I still rely on this technology to make a living. Do you think God is open? Hey, it's okay, he's watching."

"You really don't want to reconcile with your wife?" When nothing happened, these people in the village would gather around and gossip.

"What the hell! I've endured her for so many years just to wait for this day, oh my mother, I'm relieved now, why go back and jump into that fire pit?" Lu Jinshan was also speechless.

"Didn't your daughter still call two days ago?"

"It was a fight. I came here to educate me. She said that I was petty and held grudges. I was still noisy when I was old. Tsk, if she calls again next time, I will not answer it, little white-eyed wolf. In the past, her mother couldn't get up in the morning. Read When I was in elementary school, I even braided her hair for a few years."

"Yo, you can also braid your hair, you are so versatile, Uncle Lu!"

"That's right, it's very good. Shall I give you a peek?"

"..."

Probably because the mood is relaxed and there is no pressure. No matter how these people were before they came here, in short, the relationship between everyone in Shangshui Village is relatively good now. Except for Chen Gang, this guy is unpopular.

"Boss, I heard that Master Hou over there in our courtyard is good at cooking. How about making arrangements for me to study there?" Lu Jinshan fought with Lao Zhou while carrying the steamed bun basket. Discussed.

"At your level, do you still need to study?" Romon laughed.

"Tsk, what's my level? Just those two times, I guess everyone will get tired of it in a while, and you still have to improve." Lu Jinshan likes his current job very much, and he likes this place too.

"That's okay, one day you finish cooking the meals for the day, ride a tricycle to the courtyard, and tell Fatty Hou that I asked him to teach." The employees under him love their work and know that they want to make progress, which is a good thing , Lao Zhou must be encouraged.

"It's not time to cook at that time, would he be willing to teach?" Lu Jinshan asked.

"No problem, you just need to tell him that the owner will be responsible for whatever material you use, and he will be happy to specify it."

Fatty Hou works all day long, not only busy with the food at Niuwangzhuang, but sometimes he also cooks small stoves for himself, but sometimes it involves things that are strictly controlled by Lao Zhou and cannot be taken casually. At this time, he would have to pay for the ingredients he used.

This really can't be blamed on Lao Zhou's stinginess, there are so many people in their Niuwangzhuang, if they don't control it a little bit, how can there be any leftovers?

After handing the buns and steamed buns to Lu Jinshan, Luo Meng went to the mushroom shed to watch the progress. Although Chen Gang was in charge of these tasks, Lao Zhou couldn't help but come over to take a look at them sometimes. After all, it was a big project. Well done, I can add a lot of income to Niuwangzhuang every day in the future.

The work on the mushroom shed is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Because Chen Gang learned the semi-clinker planting of edible mushrooms before, he is mainly promoting this technology in Shangshui Village this time. For semi-clinker planting, the preliminary work is more troublesome. , Strain cultivation, mixing materials, disinfection, bagging, etc. require a lot of manpower, and the later management is relatively easy, and the requirements for the mushroom shed are not high.

"How is it? Can the mushrooms be produced on the [-]th day of the first lunar month?" Lao Zhou was quite impatient. Recently, he has invested a lot in Shangshui Village, and there is no output yet. The real mushrooms will grow. Come on, I don't know if the quality is really as good as he expected.

"It should be no problem." When Chen Gang accompanied Lao Zhou to look at the mushroom shed, he would take a mushroom bag from the shelf from time to time to observe the growth of the mycelium inside.Although he had learned the cultivation techniques of edible mushrooms before, he had no actual combat experience. This time he was very careful, for fear that if he was negligent, the batch of mushrooms would fall into his hands.

"Okay, don't be too stressed, it's really not good, and then we will invite a technician back." Lao Zhou reassured him, he was impatient, and if something went wrong, he, the boss, would still Don't worry, even if Chen Gang has no skills, he is still good at management.

"En." Chen Gang nodded. Even if Lao Zhou said so, he was not really relieved. The first batch of mushrooms had to be delivered smoothly.

I went to see the mushroom shed with Chen Gang, and Lao Zhou moved a small horse to pack bags with the workers. We worked for about an hour. While working, we also chatted with these people and learned about everyone in Shangshui Village. working and living conditions.

"For work and life, everything is good, but I just want to eat pork." The wishes of the masses are highly unified.

"Then you have to work hard. Pork money is not so easy to earn. You know how much the pork in our village sells for a catty? The richest man in Buffalo Town knows, Hu Qunfeng, just like him , I’m only willing to buy two catties of pork belly.” Lao Zhou’s words are of course a lie, Hu Qunfeng also wants to eat their pork now, but it’s a pity that he has no money and no place to buy it.
