In the early morning, three trucks drove into Xiahewan. The first truck stopped at the intersection, the door opened, and a young man jumped out and handed a cigarette to an old man who was walking towards the cow.
"Uncle, I want to ask you something, where does Ye Ming's family live?"
The old man took the cigarette and smelled it in his nose, then refused the young man to light it and clamped it to his ear.
"Are you talking about the boy from the Jinxian family? Walk forward three streets and turn north, which is the third door from the bottom."
"Thank you, uncle!"
Just as the young man was about to get in the car, the old man asked: "Are you going to his house to collect peaches? Which fresh food wholesale market do you belong to?"
The young man smiled and said: "We are not selling fresh goods, we are from the cannery in the county. Sir, you are busy, I will leave first!"
The three trucks raised a cloud of dust and headed for Ye Ming's house in the direction pointed by the old man.
The old man looked at the truck's taillights thoughtfully, and then led the old scalper to the fields outside the village.
A few idle old men gathered under the trees on the roadside chatting. The old man untied the cow rope and let it graze freely, and then made jokes with the old men.
"What are those cars that passed by just now?" an old man asked the old man who was herding cattle.
"I went to pick peaches from Jinxian's house. They seem to be from a cannery."
"The boy from the Jinxian family is really capable. The college student village official couldn't handle so many peaches, but he actually contacted the cannery. This time he has to make a fortune again!"
"Who says it's not the case? A few months ago, the boy from the Xian family was still a fool. Who knew that in a blink of an eye, not only was he no longer a fool, but he also became the most profitable person in Xiahewan. He grew herbs, rented greenhouses, and even
Li Hu's thorny head works for him honestly and earns a lot of money. Among the younger generation in Xiahewan, he is the most powerful!"
Another well-dressed old man couldn't stand listening any more and said with a disdainful expression: "What's the point of making money? After all, you're just a villager. No matter how much money you make, you can't be on the stage!"
The other old people looked at each other for a moment, then laughed.
"That is, no matter how rich the boy from the Jinxian family is, he is not as powerful as your grandson. Your grandson is a government official. In ancient times, he would be a superior person. Business is the lowest profession for the boy from the Jinxian family.
!”
Everyone was flattering, and the well-dressed old man was very impressed, with a look of arrogance on his face.
"If any of you have something to do with your family in the future, you don't need to look for other connections. Just tell me and I will ask my good grandson to handle it for you. It will definitely be handled properly!"
The other old people were overjoyed and flattered him again.
While these old men were bragging and chatting, more than 100,000 kilograms of peaches from Ye Ming's yard were already loaded onto the car.
"Mr. Ye, let's go then. If you have any questions, you can contact our boss directly!"
The young man shook hands with Ye Ming, then got in the car and led the other two trucks out of Xiahewan.
Not long after the truck left, Ye Ming's phone rang. He took out his phone and took a look at it. He noted that it was for repairing the greenhouse.
Ye Ming answered the phone, and a rough voice came from inside.
"Is this Boss Ye? We are responsible for maintaining greenhouses. Where are you?"
Ye Ming said: "You go directly to the south of the village, I will be there right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ming took out his car keys and got into the Ford Raptor. After starting the car, he first went to Zhao Suozhu's house, picked him up and went straight to the south of the village.
After Ye Ming arrived, a double-cab and a van were already waiting near the greenhouse.
I saw a Ford Raptor approaching, and a man got out of the van.
The man was short in stature, had a tanned complexion, wore a camouflage labor protection uniform, spoke in a loud voice, and his mouth smelled of cigarette smoke.
"Is this Boss Ye? Hello, hello!"
The man shook hands with Ye Ming enthusiastically.
Ye Ming asked: "What do you call eldest brother?"
"Just call me Lao Chen! Let's take a look at the greenhouse first! After reading, we will formulate the following maintenance plan!"
The three greenhouses have been abandoned for many years. They are overgrown with weeds. The plastic sheets and insulation layers on them are in tatters. The rolling shutter machines are also rusty and unusable. Fortunately, the frames are still intact. If they are all replaced, it is better to build them again.
convenient.
Several people walked around the three greenhouses and returned to the car. Old Chen took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote and drew in it.
"Boss Ye, the plastic sheeting on your greenhouse needs to be replaced, and the insulation layer is no longer working. If you can repair those rolling shutter machines, I will repair them for you. If you can't repair them, you have to replace them..."
"How many days will it take to get it all done?"
Ye Ming doesn't care how many things need to be replaced, he cares about how long it takes to repair the greenhouse.
Lao Chen thought for a while and said: "We have three people now, and two more will come tomorrow. It will take about ten days to build the three greenhouses."
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "It takes too long, I will give you three days."
Lao Chen shook his head: "The time is too short. It is impossible for the few of us to finish it. Even if we work overtime, it will take at least a week."
Ye Ming said in a non-negotiable tone: "No, I will give you three days. If you can do it, do it. If you can't do it, I will replace it with someone else!"
The salary Ye Ming paid was much higher than the market price. If Lao Chen couldn't do it, then he would find someone else. If you have money, you don't have to worry about finding someone else.
"No! I'll take over this job, and I'll guarantee you a brand new greenhouse within three days!"
Just now, Lao Chen has already calculated the cost in his mind. According to the price given by Ye Ming, it is very profitable. Even if he hires five more workers, he will make a lot of money!
After the negotiation was completed, Lao Chen and three workers got busy.
They often build and repair greenhouses. They are familiar with the work procedures. They first dismantle the rolling shutter machine, and then pull off the insulation layer and plastic sheeting.
The clean-up work is a tedious and long-term task. Ye Ming does not have time to watch here. He brought Zhao Suozhu here to supervise the work.
Ye Ming told him a few words and then drove away in the Ford Raptor.
Ye Ming did not go home, but went to the cannery in Yuncheng County. He wanted to see the quality of the first batch of canned peaches.
When Ye Ming arrived at the cannery, he saw the loaders transporting the peaches to the factory.
After receiving the call, Lu Feng came out to greet him and shook hands with Ye Ming warmly.
"Mr. Ye, your peaches have started to be produced, but it will still take some time before the first batch of finished products is produced. Let's go to my office and wait for a while. Once that's done, I'll ask the production director to deliver them!"
The process of producing canned peaches is not complicated. The peaches are washed and peeled, then cored and cut into pieces. They are then steamed at high temperature and then canned and labeled.
Lu Feng led Ye Ming to his office. The secretary brought the tea that had been brewed in advance. The two of them sat down and chatted.
More than an hour later, there was a knock on the office door, and a middle-aged man in work clothes walked in holding two bottles of cans.
"Mr. Lu, these are the freshly made canned peaches!"
The freshly made canned peaches were still warm. Lu Feng opened the caps and poured them into two plastic bowls, handing one to Ye Ming and one to himself.
"Try it, our canning technology is one of the best in Yuncheng County!"
Ye Ming picked up the canned peach, picked up a piece with a fork, put it in his mouth and chewed it, feeling the taste.
"How is the taste?"
Lu Feng looked at Ye Ming expectantly and asked, Ye Ming nodded and said: "The taste is not bad, it has met my expectations!"
Hearing Ye Ming's approval, Lu Feng also smiled. He also picked up the bowl, picked up a piece of peach meat with a fork and put it into his mouth.
Just after chewing a few times, Lu Feng's expression changed instantly.
