"I also grow apples at home, but they have already been picked at this time. How do you get them to mature here?"
Walking in the orchard, Tang Rou relaxed completely. Smelling the unique fragrance in the orchard, her body and mind felt relaxed.
"The varieties are different." Zhang Shengli used the trick he used to deceive Xie Fugui again.
"It's better to live in rural areas. There is simply no such good air in the city."
Tang Rou stretched out, and her curvy figure was revealed in front of Zhang Shengli.
Looking at this impressive figure, Zhang Shengli subconsciously turned his head to one side.
Perhaps noticing Zhang Shengli's little move, Tang Rou smiled slightly and changed the subject: "Can you eat the apples here?"
"Okay, I'll pick one for you to try."
Zhang Shengli looked around and picked one that was in good condition, then washed it in clean water and handed it to Tang Rou.
"My apples are different from other people's apples."
"What's the difference?" Tang Rou didn't care, took the apple and took a bite.
Just after taking this bite, she was stunned and couldn't believe it.
"It's so sweet!" He said and took another bite.
"You... can't do it. Go back and pick more for me later. I'll go back and give it to my mother to try."
"Eat slowly!" Seeing Tang Rou's exaggerated look, Zhang Shengli said with a smile, "There are so many here, I'm afraid it might run away."
In this way, an apple was quickly digested by Tang Rou.
The two of them came to Zhang Shengli's temporary shed and sat down.
"How's it going? How do you feel?" Seeing Tang Rou looking around like a curious baby, Zhang Shengli asked with a smile.
"It's beautiful here, and there's a very comfortable feeling here. I can't say what it is, but it can make people forget all the worries."
Tang Rou couldn't understand. She was also a child who grew up in the countryside, so she naturally knew the comfort of the countryside, but she had never stood on this land like today, not thinking about anything, just breathing and enjoying to the fullest.
"I mean, what do you think of my place?" Zhang Shengli was a little funny, so he could only say: "After I sell all these fruits in a few days, and I have the first amount of funds, I will sell the remaining hills.
Contract it."
"Will it cost a lot of money?" Tang Rou's eyes widened.
"You also know that our village is poor. It is impossible to develop just by relying on this orchard. There must be other ways out." Zhang Shengli turned his eyes to the mountains in the distance.
"Nowadays, all rural people want to go to the city, where they can get money quickly and earn more, so there are fewer and fewer rural people. If this continues, it will form an endless cycle. So if you want to change everything, you can only start from scratch and change
A way to think about it.”
Listening to Zhang Shengli's words, Tang Rou fell into deep thought, "I don't have the same thoughts as you. In my opinion, everyone has their own life trajectory, and there is no need to force changes."
"My situation is different from yours!" Zhang Shengli smiled and didn't think too much about Tang Rou's different opinions.
"The money for my schooling was raised by our village chief. I understand his thinking. This is why I was able to successfully contract this hilltop. This is also why my parents didn't want me to stay at home but didn't persuade them.
s reason."
"All young people go out to work, leaving the elderly and children in the village. Let's not talk about this view. At least in my opinion, this is a drawback of the countryside."
"Take my fourth aunt as an example. She has a son who is two years younger than me, but he has been looking for a job for two years and did not come home during the Chinese New Year last year. My fourth uncle has inconvenient legs and feet, and all farm work has to be done.
My fourth aunt takes care of it all by herself."
Zhang Shengli spoke calmly and Tang Rou listened quietly.
"Do you know how my fourth uncle's leg was injured? He was doing a small job on a construction site. Because he couldn't get paid, he went to argue with someone and was interrupted."
Speaking of this, Zhang Shengli became a little excited, "That's it. When I was in college, my fourth uncle and his family also chipped in two hundred yuan. I still remember what my fourth uncle said at that time."
"So after graduation, you gave up your high-paying job at Tianyuan Group?"
"You know?" Zhang Shengli stared at Tang Rou in surprise.
Tang Rou knew that she had slipped up, so she quickly explained: "I didn't ask specifically, I just heard about it."
Zhang Shengli didn't care about her evasive gaze and said with a smile: "Yes, the conditions provided by Tianyuan Group are very good. For a newly graduated college student, the monthly salary of 50,000 yuan is a huge number. But
Not what I want."
Zhang Shengli recalled the earnest persuasion his three roommates gave him after rejecting Tianyuan Group's invitation, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
"People must not forget their roots. This is my bottom line. I believe that within three years, I will be able to bring about earth-shaking changes in our village."
"I believe you!" Tang Rou stood up, looked at Zhang Shengli, and said, "Who are you selling these fruits to? How much does it cost?"
Tang Rou also has a certain understanding of the situation here. Their family has grown it before, but because the roads are not good, the sales are not good. Sometimes one or two yuan per pound is a high price.
"I have contacted the salesperson and will be here tomorrow."
Zhang Shengli continued with a smile: "As for how much it sells for, how much do you think is appropriate per pound?"
"Three pieces?" Tang Rou was a little unsure because she had just eaten an apple and had never eaten such a delicious apple before, so she was a little unsure for a while.
Shaking his head, Zhang Shengli stretched out a palm and said, "Five yuan, this is the price that the other party has temporarily given."
"Five dollars? How is that possible!" Tang Rou opened her mouth in surprise.
"If it costs five yuan a pound, then you have at least tens of thousands of pounds here, right?"
He only spent 30,000 yuan to contract dozens of acres of hills, including these fruit trees.
In about half a month, all the fruit trees were filled with fruits, and apples alone accounted for more than half of them. After all, this amount should be worth at least several hundred thousand.
"If you only count apples, it's about the same. So this first pot of gold is enough for me to take over all the hills in this area."
"I just don't understand. If this place is so good, why could you contract it for only 30,000 yuan?"
This is what Tang Rou is most curious about.
"Because when I contracted the contract, the place was completely deserted and there were no fruits growing on the trees. Plus the village chief wanted to keep me, so everything was convenient." Zhang Shengli laughed.
"Impossible!" Tang Rou simply didn't believe that there was no technology that could allow an abandoned orchard to grow so well and produce so many fruits within a dozen days.
"Why else would Tianyuan Group want to hire me with a high salary before I graduate?" Zhang Shengli suddenly thought of something and asked, "How did you know I was contracted for 30,000 yuan?"
"You said so yourself."
"Did I say that?"
"You said it yourself, why are there so many problems!" Tang Rou changed the subject and said, "The salesperson you are talking about is not the fat man who went to my house with you some time ago, right?"
"That's him. I called him yesterday and he'll be here tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll come over tomorrow too."
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm your girlfriend now, why do you want me to come over?"
Seeing Tang Rou's questioning tone, Zhang Shengli was defeated.
