From then on, the big dogs and puppies in Niuwangzhuang looked around for those mature pao'er thorns to eat. When Lao Zhou found out that their pao'er thorns were ripe, these dogs had eaten them countless times.

Old Zhou’s Pao’er thorns are good to eat, but it’s not easy to pick them. Not to mention the small fruit, there are thorns on the branches and leaves, and the Pao’er thorns are still berries. If you don’t pay attention to preservation, Within a few hours of picking it back, it was all soup. If it doesn't look good, naturally don't sell it for a good price.

This storage problem is not impossible to solve. They have two cold storages in their courtyard. Usually, when there are not many things, only one is opened. It is spring at the moment, and last year’s things are almost consumed. There is not much output, only a cold storage room is opened, and it is also empty, except for the large buckets of loofah water that take up a little space, and there are only a few sparsely placed on the surrounding shelves.

There are freezers in each of these two cold storages. If the Pao'er thorns from the village are picked this time, they will be frozen in the freezer immediately. It will not take long, and it will definitely not be a problem for three to five days.

The most troublesome thing for Lao Zhou is the manpower problem. Originally, it seems that the spring has been very good recently, and he even tried to ask the little kids in the town to come to the spring outing a few more times, but then he thought, those little kids are worth every penny. If some of them can eat, if they are asked to pick the fruit, isn’t that putting the rats out of the rice barn?

Think about it or forget it, those little bastards really want to come, we can only put them on the mountain, and then tell them to pick flower buds, anyway, they did it last year, and they did a good job, let's continue this year.

But at the beginning, it was okay. The number of ripe fruits is limited every day. When the people here in the courtyard are free, they can go out to pick a few times together. When there are more ripe fruits in the future, they will definitely have to ask for help. .

How can we make the people who help pick the fruit eat less of their own fruit?Lao Zhou pondered over this matter for two days, but in the end he couldn't come up with any solution.

The most abominable thing is the birds in the sky, they wake up at dawn every day, just pick the biggest and reddest fruits and peck them, and eat them one by one, which is very satisfying. Lao Zhou now looks at those bugs that don’t like to eat insects, and they like to eat vegetarian The birds are not very pleasing to the eye.

At the beginning of this period, there were not many fruits picked every day, except for a small amount that was consumed in the courtyard, they were basically sold to Jiweilou.

At the breakfast shop in the town, Luo Hongfeng thought about it, and finally decided not to. The strawberries will be ripe soon, and she should just sell cheap strawberry juice. Paoer thorns are not at all here. Rare, there are wild ones on the mountain, and it is impossible to sell them for a high price, so it is better to keep them and sell them to those in the city.

When the fruit was just ripe, Romon and the others squeezed the juice themselves, and the taste was undeniable. It was much better than the bottled fruit he drank in the restaurant, but unfortunately, if you want to squeeze the original juice, a glass of juice A lot of pulp is needed, and it takes a half a day for one person to pick enough materials for a glass of juice, and a glass of juice can be drunk in a few mouthfuls, which is really extravagant.

They don't know what other people are like, anyway, Lao Zhou himself is not willing to part with it. Their monkey boy usually just folds one or two skewers and asks him to pick and eat by himself. Luo Meihui and Luo Meiling are similar, and when they want to eat Most of them are picked by themselves, and the ready-made fruits in the yard are rarely touched, let alone squeezed. I just tasted it at the beginning, and then there are no more.

The children in their family, although the adults are in pain, they are not very spoiled, except that the food is better than the average family in the village, and they have two more pocket money than other children, nothing else special too.

It's not that Lao Zhou is stingy and reluctant to give the children good food, it's just that they are allowed to pick and eat the fruits all over the mountain, so why go to other people to pick them back?The little bastards have good legs and feet, what's wrong with running two extra steps?

This afternoon, when the bean curd was being cooked in the yard, Fatty Hou made another small pot of marinade. Luo Meng and Xiao Shulin heard about it at their hut, so they also dropped their work and went here to eat hot bean curd.

In fact, the two of them didn't have much work to do these days. The work of extracting essential oils was taken over by the old Liu and his wife. It was so easy for Luo Meng to take a breather. Naturally, he wanted to give himself a few days off. When I came to the courtyard, I would watch Xiao Shulin make walnut carvings in his hut, help his son make walnut chess pieces, or help his parents make some biscuits. It was very leisurely.

"It's been a while since I ate hot bean curd, why did I suddenly think about it again today?" Lao Zhou asked, and made a big plate for him and Xiao Shulin each, and they finished eating in a while, and they went up the mountain to feed the monkeys.

"Hey, it doesn't matter if anyone thinks about it, we have to be the one who thinks about eating hot tofu curd, so we can enjoy it." Bian Dajun squatted by the ditch under the corridor with a sea bowl in his hand, jokingly.

It's not time for them to milk the cows yet, so just leave someone to watch over the cows. He, Luo Quangui, Na Maocheng, and Zheng Bolun are all easy to talk to, and they have been taking care of the cows together for a long time. , Naturally, there is friendship. Usually in the courtyard, the few of them get closer.

Just now Niu Hongxia called her man and said that this afternoon the courtyard was eating hot bean curd again, and asked them if they would like to eat it. The appetites of these big men are better than the other. Zheng Bolun and Bian Dajun came over, and when they finished eating, it was Na Maocheng and Luo Quangui's turn.

"Sister Hua, what do you want to eat tomorrow?" Four Eyed Boy asked loudly with a smile.

"What's the point of eating every day?" Before Liu Ruhua could say anything, Lao Zhou protested first. "Do you know how much less tofu money we will earn in the supermarket tomorrow if we eat like this this afternoon?" With so many mouths open, I can't blame Lao Zhou for his pain.

"Lao Zhou can be considered a respectable person in our town now, how can he care about that little tofu money?"

"Why don't you care? You brat, if you are not in charge of the family, you don't know how expensive rice is. They say it's easy to start a business but hard to maintain it. If we don't save a little, this little broken villa might have to close down someday."

"Close the door? Are you willing?"

"Why don't you close the door if you don't make money? In fact, you don't have to be afraid of closing it. We still have a building in the town. We can live with rent and rent."

"Come on, it's really going to close, who will help you take care of the crop fields full of mountains?"

"Crop land? How much money do you earn all year round with just this little crop land? Labor costs are so expensive these days. To tell you the truth, it's actually a guarantee..."

"Accountant Lin, is what our boss said true?"

"Ahem, accountant Lin, isn't it time to pay wages again? Bring me the payroll and have a look."

Lin Chunyu responded, finished her bowl of hot bean curd in two or three bites, and went back to the office to stay. As for the salary statement, Lao Zhou had already seen it yesterday, so there is no need to take it again now.Every time Lao Zhou cried poorly with others, she wished she could stay away from him, for fear that her acting skills would be bad, and Lao Zhou would be vented if she was not careful.

The financial situation of Niuwangzhuang, the daily income and expenditure of the supermarket in the town and the online shop, no one knows better than him, an accountant. Although the stall is not big, the income is really good, but their owner He never admits it to the outside world, and his acting skills are really good. Those who were beaten to death and didn't believe that Niuwangzhuang didn't make a lot of money, but were fooled by him left and right, often couldn't help but believe him for two or three points in the end. So few die-hards who are not influenced by his acting skills at all, and because of the lack of various reference data, it is difficult to guess exactly how much this guy can earn throughout the year.

Here, Luo Meng was talking to others, while Xiao Shulin was eating his hot tofu curd quietly, without even raising his eyelids. There are not many people who like to cry about being poor these days, and Luo Meng is one of them. He also cried with great relish and enjoyed it. Xiao Shulin had heard it a few times and was already used to it.

This guy not only cried poor outside, he also said to Houwazi a few days ago: "Son, you have been doing this business without money for a while, Dad, it is not easy for me to support a whole family, you see, we will still be relatives in the future." How about father and son settle accounts?"

Houwazi nodded in confusion, and then he changed from taking things directly from home to the kindergarten to sell things in the past, to selling things wholesale from his father to the kindergarten. He accidentally sold at a loss on the first day, and counted the money after returning home. I counted and counted incorrectly, and lost two golden beans...

"Boss, we will have more vegetables on the mountain after a while, and this year there will be more people growing vegetables in the village, and many of them will enter our supermarket. I'm worried that I won't be able to digest them by then. Look, should I contact some of them as soon as possible?" Restaurants and restaurants?"

The things produced by Niuwangzhuang are currently mainly retail. The long-term major customers are Jiweilou and a club in Hong Kong. According to Chen Jianhua, the sales should be expanded early. Not very caring.

"How many more dishes can be served?" Romon asked.

"There are quite a lot, and there are many varieties. The pickled vegetables will definitely not be able to digest them. If they are sold in the supermarket, they will definitely be sold out. But you said before, if you can avoid it, try not to compete with those vegetables in the village. "For Lao Zhou's statement, Chen Guanshi still agrees. He only came to Niuwangzhuang to know that farming is also a high-risk industry. From sowing to selling, there must be no mistakes at all. If one is not careful, it will take a lot of hard work. It will be useless for a month, and it will not be easy for farmers.

"Didn't you say you wanted to buy a freeze dryer? It just so happens that the pau'er thorns are ripe." Xiao Shulin raised his head and said at this moment.

"Buy it, I'll call there later." Lao Zhou nodded. He had discussed this matter with Xiao Shulin before. The freeze-drying equipment came back, processed the fruits and vegetables produced in Niuwangzhuang, and sold them on the Internet.

"Freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are very good, healthy and fashionable." Now that the boss has already made up his mind, Manager Chen didn't say any more.

"Hey, it's just that the electricity bill is too expensive." Lao Zhou couldn't help but sighed.
