The leisurely life of a reborn dad

The next day, Cao Shujie called the company's management staff together again and asked them if they had watched the evening news on the provincial TV station's satellite channel last night.

A bunch of people nodded and said they had. Not only had they watched the news, they had watched it many times, and even recorded the video with their mobile phones and studied it repeatedly.

When Cao Shujie asked them to discuss their views on the content of the news, everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and they were particularly active.

Cao Shujie's assistant He Ruijia was carefully taking notes next to him. She sorted out all the suggestions and then studied the suggestions that were really beneficial to the development of Xuemeng Food Factory.

In addition to this, they also have to wait for the province to issue specific policy plans. At this time, studying countermeasures is mainly to have a head start.

With the reopening of the Children's Theme Park and Mengmeng Orchard in Caojiazhuang, Cao Jianlong and others also got busy.

The villagers in the whole village have been revived.

Some set up stalls, and some do not. Those who do not set up stalls join the Caojiazhuang Tourism Company at this time and become one of them. Although they do not earn as much as those who set up stalls, these people can also get wages and bonuses.

The key is that this is only part of their income. They also have dividends from two cooperatives. They live a happy life without any pressure.

There are 67 natural villages in Qingshi Town, including Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang. The other 66 villages envy the people of Caojiazhuang!

But there is no way. They knew from the beginning that there was no capable person like Cao Shujie in their village. Now they can get rich together with Caojiazhuang, which has become rich first. It is already very good.

For example, most of the kiwis and apples in Qingshi Town flow into Xuemeng Food Factory.

However, Xuemeng Food Factory did not take the opportunity to lower the price, but gave as much as the market price, which also benefited the people who planted orchards.

Although they did not earn as much as the three villages participating in the agricultural planting cooperative, they were already very good compared with fruit farmers in other places.

The first quarter of 2018 was about to pass, and even these people realized that there was a problem in the market. When they went to buy fruits, they found that the prices of many fruits were not expensive.

In the past, if this happened, these fruit farmers would start to worry, because the price of fruits sold to the general public could not go up. For those who grow fruits like them, they should not expect the price to be too high when selling in bulk, and there might even be a situation where no one would buy them.

Now with Xuemeng Food Factory, they don’t have to worry about this problem at all.

Everyone also hopes that Xuemeng Food Factory can get better and better.

They didn’t realize that the market sales of Xuemeng Food Factory have also been shrinking recently.

Seeing that the tourism industry in Caojiazhuang has recovered, the people in other villages envied them, and they also went to set up stalls. Although they could not set up stalls in the core area of ​​Caojiazhuang tourism, they could set up stalls around Caojiazhuang to get a bargain.

They could earn one or two hundred yuan a day, and three or four hundred yuan when business was good.

It was guaranteed to earn four or five thousand yuan a month, no matter how much.

In the countryside, there is no big consumption. The steamed buns and vegetables grown by themselves can be solved at home. There is not much to spend money. Earning 4,000 or 5,000 yuan in the countryside is completely different from earning 4,000 or 5,000 yuan in the city.

…

On this day, Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao, Cao Jianlong and the other three discussed the integrated drip irrigation transformation of the orchard of Caojiazhuang Agricultural Planting Cooperative.

The orchard has been using the first generation of nutrient solution. After entering March, they have become more aware of the value of nutrient solution.

Looking at the obviously sturdy fruit trees, the leaves that gradually turn dark green, the developed root system, and the snow-white flowers, Cao Jianlong and other old fruit farmers who often work with fruit trees understand that this is a sign of sufficient nutrition.

Although it is not known what the fruits of these fruit trees will look like, this performance has already made Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang, Cao Shuchao and others excited.

They think that the efficiency of spraying nutrient solution manually is too low.

In addition, according to what Tong Jiayi of Xuemeng Food Factory said, the first generation of nutrient solution is best to be continuously supplied in the form of drip irrigation. The one-time supply can be less, but it cannot be stopped.

They also took this into consideration. It is impossible to continuously supply the amount by manual labor alone, so they are thinking about installing drip irrigation equipment.

This matter must be discussed with Cao Shujie.

In addition, they all know that Cao Shujie's orchard has installed drip irrigation equipment a long time ago. From an objective point of view, they think Cao Shujie has rich experience in this area, and they come to him to discuss it and learn from him.

In addition, it involves more than 5,000 acres of land in the three villages of Caojiazhuang, Zhujiazhuang and Taodong Village. It is certain that a meeting of all villagers must be held to explain to everyone what is going on and where the money should be spent.

But when they came to find Cao Shujie, they found that he was not at home.

Cao Jianguo was at home with his grandson. He didn't know when his son would be back, so he said to Cao Jianlong: "Brother Jianlong, if you have any urgent matters, just call Shujie."

"Then I'll call him and ask." Cao Jianlong really wanted to settle this matter as soon as possible.

When Cao Jianlong called Cao Shujie, he found out that Cao Shujie was on his way back to Caojiazhuang.

Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao didn't leave either, and waited at Cao Shujie's house.

Cao Jianguo brought some chairs and a folding table and made tea.

Before finishing the bottle, Cao Shujie and Mengmeng came in together.

"Uncle Long, what's the emergency?" Cao Shujie came over and asked him.

Mengmeng also called grandpa obediently, and then ran into the house to do her homework.

Cao Jianlong and Liu Guoqiang looked at each other, and Liu Guoqiang said: "Brother Jianlong, please tell me."

"Shujie, what's going on? We want to install drip irrigation equipment in the orchards of the agricultural planting cooperative to better spray the first-generation nutrient solution. What do you think?" Cao Jianlong expressed his idea.

He also told Cao Shujie about this matter and what he was currently discussing with Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao. He had not yet discussed it with the people in Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang, and he had not yet solicited the opinions of the people in the village.

It turned out that this was the case. He told the three of them: "Uncle Long, this suggestion you made is very good. I personally agree with it."

Cao Jianlong and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but Cao Shujie continued to tell them: "I think this matter must be made clear to all the people, because this thing costs a lot of money."

Hearing the tone of Cao Shujie's words, Cao Jianlong and the others also became cautious, and then heard Cao Shujie continue: "Uncle Long, I don't know if you have thought about a problem. This is not just about installing drip irrigation equipment, but also about water. That's fine, and the drip irrigation equipment must be installed next to the waterway to ensure that it has continuous water all year round. Taking the orchard of more than 2,000 acres of land in our village as an example, I suggest that we divide the area well and drill at least two wells in each area, so that If so, you need to install a double-head sprinkler system, and this cost must also be taken into account.”

He told Cao Jianlong, Liu Guoqiang and Cao Shuchao: "I must have spent thirty or forty thousand to dig a well in the mountain. I forgot the specific details."

"In addition, a house must be built around the well, and the water tank and pump of the drip irrigation equipment must be placed inside, and safety measures must be taken. This cost must also be taken into account."

Cao Jianlong nodded repeatedly. He asked Cao Shujie how much the drip irrigation equipment cost.

"I forgot the specific details. I remember that the cost for one acre of land was more than 4,000 yuan." Cao Shujie said this.

It's been so long that I can't remember it so clearly.

He also told Cao Jianlong and others: "I made this set of equipment in 2011, and the price is definitely different from the current price. If we really want to do it, I suggest inviting bids."

His equipment had been remodeled twice, and the remodeling cost a lot of money and was troublesome.

According to Cao Shujie's understanding, the latest drip irrigation equipment is already very advanced, but the price is also higher. It is better to find a new supplier for bidding.

Cao Jianlong and the others heard Cao Shujie talk about the price of modifying the drip irrigation equipment in his orchard, and they knew it well.

In 2011, one acre of land cost more than 4,000 yuan, and now the price is definitely higher.

"Uncle Long, I suggest you call over the leaders of the village committees of Taodong Village and Zhujiazhuang first and give them some advice. If they all agree, you can invite bids together. If they don't agree, Caojiazhuang will hold a village meeting of its own, and we will Do it." Cao Shujie was not entangled in this matter, and he said it simply.

Cao Jianlong and Liu Guoqiang nodded almost at the same time: "Okay, then we will do this later."

Cao Shuchao sighed from the side that the gap between them and Cao Shujie was really big.

They thought this was a big deal, but Cao Shujie filled in all the details for them in a few words.

Cao Shujie still wanted to keep them at home to have some food, but Cao Jianlong and the other three wanted to get this done quickly and told Cao Shujie that they would call Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian now to discuss what to do next.

"Okay, just call me during the meeting." Cao Shujie said.

Cao Shujie will definitely participate in this kind of meeting that involves the interests of all villagers.

Cao Jianlong also knew this, nodded in response to Cao Shujie, and left Cao Shujie's house.

As soon as he came out, Cao Jianlong called Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei and asked them to bring all the village committee members to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee Office Building to discuss important matters.

Hearing that Cao Shujie also wanted to attend this meeting, Zhuang Xuejian and Zhu Hongwei did not hesitate at all. Even though it was already past 4 o'clock, they hurried to Caojiazhuang.

Half an hour later, Cao Jianlong called Cao Shujie and told him that the village committee leaders of the two villages had arrived. It was almost 5 o'clock. Cao Shujie did not hesitate and told his father and grandfather to let them have dinner in the evening. Without waiting for him, he rode his electric bike to the Caojiazhuang Village Committee Office Building.

At this time, the village committee leaders of the three villages were already waiting in the conference room. More than a dozen people gathered together to talk and laugh, and some were puffing away.

But when they saw Cao Shujie coming in, several people who were smoking subconsciously put their cigarettes in the ashtray nearby and poured some water to put them out.

Cao Shujie felt like laughing when he saw this scene: "It's okay, just suck it."

"Ahem!" Zhuang Xuejian, a long-time smoker, coughed a few times and said, "I don't know what's going on, but my throat hurts when I smoke recently, so I stopped smoking."

After Cao Jianlong saw it from the side, he thought to himself how thick-skinned this old guy was, that he could actually say such things.

He was smoking harder than anyone just now.

But the old smokers were smart enough not to answer the question at this time.

After Cao Shujie sat down, the meeting basically started.

Cao Jianlong had just told them the purpose of today's meeting. After Cao Shujie sat down, he explained the matter in detail again.

"We discussed with the leader Tong Jiayi of Xuemeng Food Factory who makes a bag of nutrient solution. He suggested that we install drip irrigation equipment so that we can more accurately control the amount of nutrient solution and maximize the nutrient solution. The effect is great and the amount of nutrient solution can be saved,” said Cao Jianlong.

In addition, Cao Jianlong also told everyone about the advantages of using integrated drip irrigation equipment.

But he also gave an approximate cost.

"If we install integrated drip irrigation equipment, we will have to dig wells and build huts, which will cost a lot," Cao Jianlong said.

Zhu Hongwei asked him: "Old Cao, can you tell me how much it will cost?"

But Cao Jianlong couldn't tell, so he still looked at Cao Shujie: "Secretary Cao's orchard was equipped with integrated drip irrigation equipment in 2011. Why don't we listen to Secretary Cao's suggestions."

More than a dozen people looked at Cao Shujie.

After Cao Jianlong and the others left, Cao Shujie actually checked the account records of that year, and also specifically looked at the price of installing drip irrigation equipment at that time. When Cao Jianlong mentioned this matter again, Cao Shujie took out a piece of paper and told them: "I At that time, I asked Xia Changhong, the owner of Changhong Building Materials and Hardware Store in the county, to install automatic sprinkler irrigation equipment for me. The total cost of 57 acres of land in 2011 was 210,000 yuan, an average of 3,684 yuan per acre. "

"Later, I asked Chen Lei to do an integrated drip irrigation renovation for me. The renovation cost 30,000 yuan for 57 acres of land. Calculated at this price, I spent more than 4,300 yuan per acre of land at that time."

"However, the land I contracted later was integrated with sprinkler irrigation and drip irrigation, and the complete installation of drip irrigation equipment cost 4,000 yuan per acre, which was lower than the cost of my first installation and renovation. Of course, it took too long. , you only use this number as a reference.”

"In addition, I hired Han Dingping when I dug the well. I think some of you may know him. I spent a total of 32,000 yuan on digging the well. I hired Grandpa Cao Zhenggang to build the house for the well and drip irrigation equipment. This amount does not count. "More." Cao Shujie said.

When Cao Shujie said this, the cost became very clear.

Cao Jianlong and the others nodded repeatedly. Zhu Hongwei and Zhuang Xuejian have been recording. They will also study it after they return and report the data to the people in the village. (End of chapter)
