Chapter 845 845. Indifferent little thoughts
Late in the middle of October, the temperature had dropped. Mrs. Zhou was sitting on the edge of the woods, and her two layers of gown could not block the gradually rising chill.
She is older and sleeps a lot. She was very tired when she was carrying a **** to dig sweet potatoes. Now the more she sits, the colder she becomes, and the colder and sleepier she becomes.
In front, not only were the lights brightly lit, but the two drivers were still chatting and laughing, holding a bowl of warm loofah and egg drop soup in their hands.
The loofah is smooth and tender, and the eggs are fragrant. You can smell the oily aroma from a distance. Mrs. Zhou looked indignant and very uncomfortable.
This old Song family! Why are you so rich that there are people collecting food late at night?
Looking at the baskets of vegetables again, they were neatly packed and clean, especially attractive in the white plastic baskets. Mrs. Zhou instantly forgot about the sweet potatoes.
How much are sweet potatoes worth?
It has to be these vegetables. Huh, the old Song family secretly sells these vegetables in the vegetable market. The wholesale price is estimated to be one or two yuan per catty!
Her heart was about to move. She saw that the baskets of the car in front were piled high and the driver was sitting there smoking and chatting. She couldn't help but move over there with a hoe...
Unexpectedly, as soon as she touched the car door, her scalp felt numb for some reason. Mrs. Zhou turned around subconsciously and saw in the dark shadows, the three local dogs responsible for guarding the factory, grinning and staring at her fiercely!
“Woo…”
It is the five, six, and seven treasures!
They have been guarding the factory for a month or two, but have not made any progress, and they are feeling very unhappy!
Now in the middle of the night, there is an old lady Zhou. A dog can tell by sniffing that she is not a good person. At this moment, she is imitating the other treasures to intimidate her, and her behavior is particularly terrifying!
“Mom!”
The shadow of the king is still lingering in Mrs. Zhou's heart. How did she know that Song Tan's dogs are everywhere now!
At this moment, as soon as the **** was thrown away, the little old lady ran away down the mountain with a graceful posture that was not like that of an elderly person!
There was a noise among the people on the mountain, but Xin Jun held his notebook and looked at the shadows at the bottom of the mountain, but he smiled and said nothing.
He knelt down and patted the heads of the three treasures one after another as rewards: "Well done!"
Then he meant something: "Let Qiaoqiao come and bring you delicious food tomorrow. Every leaf and pole of the vegetables on our mountain are wanted by people, and you have to keep an eye on them!"
“After all, these are high-priced dishes that have been contracted, and the contract requirements are very strict, so there is no room for mistakes.”
“If you find someone stealing food again, regardless of whether you recognize him or not, or are familiar with him or not, go ahead and bite him! After you bite him, we will pay for the medical expenses, and he will have to pay liquidated damages for lost wages and food compensation.”
These treasures are very smart. Although they can’t understand what they are saying, they still understand the general meaning. At this moment, he shouted with great force:
“Woof woof woof!”
As if echoing his words.
They are now seven or eight months old, with shiny hair and strong bodies. Normally he would just be silly and playful, but now he showed his fierce look in conjunction with Xin Jun's words. A pair of ferocious teeth shone coldly under the light, as if they could bite off a person's arms and legs with just one mouthful!
In the vegetable field, someone moved a bench uncomfortably, causing Li Lanhua next to him to take a curious look.
…
This matter was just a minor incident. Xin Jun told Song Tan the next morning. Before she could react, she heard Zhang Yanping next to her look furious:
As he spoke, he geared up: "No, I have to tell everyone about the surveillance on the mountain!"
Xin Jun smiled: "Actually, she came by chance." The vegetables on the mountain are monopolized by Boss Chang, and they can be sold at a high price of 40 yuan per pound. It takes seven hours to drive because there is neither cold storage nor pre-cooling on the mountain. Equipment, he also needs to specially arrange cold chain transport vehicles, which shows the scarcity and importance of it.
But...people in the village don’t recognize it!
It is human nature to take advantage. Everyone picks fresh vegetables every day. At first, they didn’t dare to move when they heard about the high price. However, there is an endless supply of vegetables in this vegetable field. Today’s field will be tomorrow’s.
I just finished cutting a bunch of leeks, and after three days they have grown again...
In this familiar vegetable field situation, some people soon came up with a little thought.
I don’t have any other intention, I just want to take a handful of vegetables with me! You can even cook some noodles in the morning.
To be fair, this kind of behavior is nothing serious in the village. Sometimes they pass by other people's vegetable fields to see how well the vegetables are growing, and they can pull a few roots back with a shout.
But Song Tan's family can't.
Xin Jun is as meticulous as a hair. From the beginning when someone half-jokingly asked them to pick two kilograms back to taste, he was on guard.
However, this matter was left to himself and Zhang Yanping. It happened that he was working the night shift for the past two weeks, so he did not disturb Song Tan first.
But I am still troubled in my heart: What if a few treasures smell that vegetables are hidden on other people's bodies, what should I do to not hurt people's feelings and to shock everyone?
In this case, Mrs. Zhou is simply a magic weapon sent from heaven!
It has shocked everyone without spending a single soldier. I dare not say in the long run, but in the short term, everyone will take this job seriously.
Sigh, this is the difficulty of starting a business in the village.
But having said that, everything has advantages and disadvantages. If outsiders are not doing business in full swing in their own village, and people in the same village join forces to mess around, that would be even worse!
In just a few moments, Xin Jun had already gone through the matter from beginning to end, while Zhang Yanping was still gearing up—
“We can’t get used to everyone’s mentality.”
“Our wages are not low, and the food is never lacking! A few days ago I was thinking about how to increase wages after the temperature cools down. If someone opens this hole, people in the same village will not dare to ask for help in the future.”
After all, it would be fine if they were ordinary crops, but who could control it after tasting the fruits and vegetables of the Tantan family?
This risk cannot be taken.
Song Tan was extremely satisfied: Teacher Xin Jun was so thoughtful when using it for multiple people. In comparison, the night shift fee of only 1,000 yuan was really worth it!
Be sure to give out more year-end bonuses during the New Year.
As for the issues he was worried about, Song Tan was actually not too afraid.
—Catch it and just don’t use it!
And don’t forget, every household in the village is still waiting for grafting cuttings of their fruit trees and radish seedlings planted in the ground.
Without her as a matchmaker, even if their radish tastes better than before, who in business might not be a human being? Who can offer a high price for nothing?
Giving it to Miaozi was out of consideration for the friendship between fellow villagers, and it was also to let them taste the sweetness first, and then to restrain themselves.
But it’s too cold to say this. So I’d better hide it from my parents first.
Update 2, good night. Mrs. Zhou is a fun-loving person and is only used to pave the way for the plot that will happen a long time later. There is no need to worry at all.
