Chapter 749 749. The labor force is increasing
Once the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, time seems to speed up and the breath of autumn quickly fills the air.
The most obvious thing is that the autumn tigers have finally retreated, and jackets are needed at night and in the morning in the mountains.
At this moment, the Song Tan family was in the brigade and started recruiting workers again—
【It takes five or six people to cut golden cherry blossoms, including pruning and cutting, and requires quick hands and feet, and agile waist and legs】
The group became lively again.
However, compared to the few people in the past, there are obviously a few more prime-age men and women recruiting workers this time. They all came back from work during the Mid-Autumn Festival and did not plan to go back again. In the past, everyone would not be willing to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival just because they could still earn a few months' salary before the Chinese New Year.
But that was before.
Ever since the old Song family launched a big operation in the spring of this year, they have hired people to do work every now and then. Sometimes the salary is tens of dollars, sometimes it is hundreds. Counting it here and there, I hired people five or six days out of ten. And that’s not even counting the work on the mountain!
The elderly in the village may not know a lot of words, but they are smarter than anyone else in calculating accounts!
Even though the old Song family is unstable, there are only so many people in the village, and they are the ones working back and forth. Even if they don't work in a month, they can still earn two to three thousand yuan. Going out to work?
Six thousand or seven thousand a month is the salary given to young people. Just say that the able-bodied laborers in their village are basically over fifty. At this age, even high-paying factories won’t accept you now. For those factories that are willing to take over, a ten-hour day shift and night shift may only cost 4,000 yuan a month. Coupled with the various discomforts with food and accommodation in the factory...
In short, everyone is now proficient in using mobile phones, and they can also see the news about the recruitment of workers by the old Song family. The old parents at home are settling accounts like this again... No, the excited person will come back just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
So much so that as soon as the job recruitment information was posted in the group, an unprecedented 8 people signed up!
This shows that it was not easy to gather so many people to work in the past.
Ulan, on the other hand, held up his mobile phone and smiled happily: "Hey, I was expecting that we wouldn't be able to find that many people for transplanting seedlings in the mountains in the next few days. This time, let's see, three or four people from our village have returned from work!"
She is now a qualified rural HR, and she does not panic at all when there are more applicants.
At this moment, he called several middle-aged villagers without hesitation: "You have just come back, rest for two days, and the day after tomorrow I will dig tree holes on the mountain and you can come. This is a laborious job, 220 a day, and I will take care of the food on the mountain at noon."
After saying this, the three gentlemen who had just been rejected were no longer anxious at all.
The salary was quite satisfying to begin with, but when he heard that he still had to pay for a meal, the man with three dependents who were still working was instantly relieved.
How to say it? We are all from the countryside, so it’s not like we can’t cook, but if we’re eating alone, or going to the mountains to eat cooked by a chef, it’s definitely better to eat cooked by others.
However, compared to the villagers, it was Princess Yingjun, the four of them, and two little border collies who were overly smart and lively—Xiao Shi and Xiao Eleven—who were employed earlier.
There is nothing we can do, Bao'er has too many names, so we have to omit a few of their names when it's their turn.
The grass on the river bank was grown without any technology, so now it has several inches of green shoots. According to Professor Song, the first crop of this thing can even be harvested by early November at the latest!
And their first job is to guard the river beach to avoid being damaged by other things. In addition, I also watched several new houses being built here.
Now it is paved with red bricks and straw, not to mention how comfortable it is! And they have been recuperating for so long, and now they have finally returned to work. The dogs are in high spirits every day, not to mention how energetic they are!
As for pruning golden cherry blossoms on the mountain, the most painful thing is Guo Dong: "Why do we have to prune it now? Just wait, some of them can wait even longer!"
Song Tan laughed: "How much inventory have you accumulated? It's two different things to pay back what you don't use this year. Why are you so reluctant to part with it?"
Guo Dong was heartbroken: "We may not all use it up this year, but won't there be new golden cherry blossoms after the New Year? We have to wait until July or August at the earliest before they can be produced again, right?"
Like this year, she received it in May and June. She wished she could only get three taels of dry goods a day, and she had to get it every three to five days. It was not until September that the harvest was finally carried out, and the stocks were full.
Now I see Song Tan arrange for people to hold big tea scissors and push them all the way. What a pity that there are scattered pieces that are not fully mature!
Song Tan shook his head: "It's almost enough. It will take at least half a month to mature. I need cuttings all around the mountain. Now is the easiest time to take root. There is no time to delay."
It's not that it won't survive if we wait any longer, but it will basically stop growing when the weather gets cold. It will be difficult to grow to a large size by next spring, and there will be no way to build a simple defense line around the mountain.
It is true when Guo Dong thinks about it.
And next year the entire outside of the mountain will be covered with golden cherry blossoms, so she can not only stock up on goods, she can even become a second-tier dealer selling medicinal materials!
Although her golden cherry seeds are among the most expensive in the industry, the effect is vastly different from ordinary ones! As long as you are discerning and have tried the medicinal properties, you will never miss it!
Thinking about it this way, the scattered fruits on the branches were no longer attractive to Guo Dong. She even asked:
"Is it enough to invite five people? Do you want more people to come and try to make cuttings as soon as possible?"
Song Tan shook his head: "No, the weather has been very good during this period. The difference between one day earlier and one day later is not that big. These five aunts who often work are quick and not lazy, and the time of one week is almost the same."
Moreover, the branches of golden cherry trees are all covered with thorns, and ordinary anti-prick gloves are not immune to them at all. It's really not easy to do this job very quickly. How about a price of 120 a day?
For the aunts who often come to work, this job requires a little attention, but the salary is good and not tiring, which is already good!
No, they came here early in the morning, put on their gloves, picked up the scissors, and while chatting, they picked out the branches that were piled up in the yard that were not that old.
The golden cherry trees are full of vitality, and the weather is just right now. There is no need to do much processing at all. You only need to cut them section by section, then carry the basket up the mountain, and separate a section for each person to cut at will.
Zhang Yanping doesn’t have to make winter melons or wash beans for the time being. He rarely feels relaxed. Looking at the baskets of branches, he can’t help but sigh:
"How beautiful it will be when it blooms next spring and summer! Do you want me to contact a few photography teams? Next spring and summer, even if you don't go into the mountains, just use the golden cherry blossoms as a wedding photo location on the outside, it will definitely be special Popular.”
It’s Chinese Valentine’s Day today! Goodbye Kuixing, everyone. May your fortune be prosperous. Regardless of whether it’s exams or work, writing and submitting reports... career is much more important than love!
The opportunity for the male protagonist to come into contact with Tantan for a long time was the filming crew (don’t worry, Tantan’s place will not be damaged)
This story is really long. It’s my first time driving it. I’ve forgotten some data recently and I often have to look back... Thank you all for your active catching of bugs and constant pointers.
Thank you, let’s grow together!
