As soon as Ouyang Meihua came back, she came to see Tian Jing.
Tian Jing asked her to taste the melons from Wang's family and Niu's family. If the taste was similar, mix a small amount into it.
Ouyang Meihua was surprised, "Fake?"
Did she need to lie? She was telling the truth.
The watermelons from their two companies have such a uniform taste. How can a watermelon field be all of high quality and have the same sweetness? There must be some flaws for it to be true.
"No, if we lose a dime, we have to make up for it elsewhere."
Ouyang Meihua didn't believe it, but she had no choice but to do what her brother and sister Tian Daxia said.
The Niu family and the Wang family both planted two acres of watermelons and sold some for eight cents. Now they were told that they could sell them for nine cents, which shocked both families.
"Our melons taste better to you?"
"Yes, I haven't tasted it before, so I only charged eight points. I'm sorry for you."
"It's okay, it's okay."
Before, they were expected to earn 800 yuan, but now it has doubled, so why are they dissatisfied?
Ouyang Meihua told them to shut up and not leak the price.
For more than half a month, melons from not only the two families but also the Niu family and the Wang family were sent to the national highway.
Even Li Jianguo's twenty acres of watermelons and the team leader's and party secretary's melons were sent to the national highway.
Because the melon people said that they can collect some melons with poor taste and sell them in different grades.
After Tian Daxia agreed, he gave away the melons from those three families at 13 cents per catty.
Ouyang Meihua counted the money and scolded Xiaohu for making shady money last year without sweating a drop, but he actually made as much as they did.
Tian Jing glanced at her, "Last year, Xiaohu didn't go to the provincial capital to sell goods in bulk. He went to the surrounding counties and cities. Don't you know how much he could earn? He also had to feed a group of younger brothers who were left behind by your younger brother. He didn't
easy."
"Okay, okay, I won't scold him anymore. This year, we have to hide our income."
Her family has 1,780,000, and her siblings' family has 25,600,000, and they only plant 200 seedlings under one acre of apple trees.
That Li Jianguo, the newly opened land, the watermelon is a bit small, but he still earns about 10,000, what debt can't be paid off?
Tian Jing nodded, "Of course, let's just say it's about the same as last year. Let them guess, how much difference did you make?"
Speaking of this, Ouyang Meihua was very happy, "I earned five to six thousand yuan. No wonder many people are willing to drive long distances with large trucks and bring some goods in the middle, so that they can make a lot of money. Li Guo did not accept the watermelon money he received."
I’m happy with the price difference.”
"You want to run a long distance?"
"I don't want to run. I'm exhausted. I'm not short of money. The big truck is to facilitate the team's own production and sales. There are two ways to get vegetables. I'm very busy."
"I'm free for now. You can take Chen Suozhu with you."
"Okay, take him out to see some things."
…
It was no longer busy on the hill, so Li Zhengguo took the workers to the vegetable shed to work because the seedlings needed to be replaced in the vegetable shed.
Li Weikang followed the work and saw a lot and learned a lot.
Although he didn't know how to calculate large sums, he could not calculate the exact amount of money Li Zhengguo earned even if he calculated a hundred and a hundred.
Because if it exceeds one hundred, he will not be considered good. He knows that Li Zhengguo has earned more than one hundred, which is more than he can count.
When he was lying on the bed at night, resting his back after a long day of fatigue, he couldn't help but recall his uncle's words.
He also couldn't figure out what his father and grandfather had planned?
Li Shengguo and Li Jianguo also made a lot of money, and the entire production team was making money.
But his father can only wait in jail to show his performance and wait for the sentence to be commuted. His grandfather has already gone there.
At this moment, he finished working on the watermelons on the hill, and then went to work on the vegetable shed. The melons and fruits in the vegetable shed were fragrant, and the fruits were crowded on the vines.
His family once had the opportunity to do this, but Li Zhengguo knew what his grandfather did in his early years, and his grandfather was not qualified to buy Tian Jingyu’s seedlings...
"Weikang." Seeing Li Weikang staring at the melons and vines in mid-air without moving, Li Zhengguo called him.
"Huh?" Li Weikang turned his head.
"If you want to eat it, you can pick one or two to try. These are not too big like watermelons."
"You can eat it yourself, or you can take it back to Weiwei. I said I would provide lunch for you, but if you don't do it, just consider it as compensation for lunch."
Li Weikang swallowed. He really couldn't resist such a temptation. "Then, when work is over, you can send me a few and I'll take them back."
Li Zhengguo nodded with satisfaction. Li Weikang was deliberately avoiding taking it personally, and was also deliberately suppressing himself from developing an insatiable temper. That's good, at least he has a decent temper.
"I will send it to you at noon every day."
"Um."
At noon, Li Weikang got two cucumbers, four small tomatoes, and a cabbage.
He picked it up with the corner of his clothes and ran home happily. There is no need to cook these, just wash them and eat them.
A few days later, Li Zhengguo discovered that his steps were a little sloppy and he didn't have the strength to work as before.
"Weikang, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"I'm fine. Maybe I have a heat stroke and I don't feel like eating."
Li Zhengguo hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, "Let's go and see Dr. Yang."
"I'm not going!" Li Weikang wanted to throw away his hand, but couldn't.
Li Zhengguo knew that this boy was worried about spending money, "If your heatstroke is caused by working for me, then it is a work-related injury, and I will cover the medical expenses."
"Then I won't go either!"
"no!"
Li Zhengguo stared at his yellowed face, not allowing him to struggle any more, and picked him up directly.
vomit……
Li Weikang was already feeling uncomfortable, and when he was treated so rudely again, he immediately vomited.
Li Zhengguo ignored the vomit on his body and hurriedly patted him on the back.
After he finished vomiting and took a breath, he held up his arm and said, "Go see the doctor. If you fall down, what will Weiwei do?"
Li Weikang no longer resisted and allowed Li Zhengguo to drag him to Dr. Yang's house.
Doctor Yang felt his pulse, turned around and told his apprentice, "Yuan Man, get a bowl of salt and sugar water."
A bowl of water was quickly placed in front of Li Weikang, "Drink first."
Li Weikang just finished it, "Huh? My stomach feels much better."
Li Zhengguo asked Dr. Yang, "Is he suffering from heatstroke?"
"no."
Doctor Yang shook his head and looked at the boy in front of him who was darker and thinner than before, "How many days have you not eaten salt?"
"Eat salt? I haven't cooked for a few days."
After hearing how Li Weikang managed three meals, even Dr. Yang sighed, "Silly boy, you have to eat salt. It's understandable that you don't want to cook, but you still have to work hard."
"The sweat you produce also contains salt. If you don't eat salt, the reason why you didn't faint is because your uncle Zhengguotang is careful and enthusiastic."
Li Weikang corrected Doctor Yang, "He is not my cousin."
"Well, even if he is not. Your body needs to be recuperated for two days. Go back and rest, and cook well."
"Thank you, Doctor Yang." Li Weikang raised his legs and ran out of Doctor Yang's house.
Doctor Yang sighed, "You got his father in, and you worry about him again. It's surprising that he can remember your feelings."
"I don't intend to live in peace with him. Since I don't want to take the medicine, I will leave."
"Wait a minute, where's the consultation fee?"
"How much."
"Five dollars."
"You robbed?"
"Yes, you are the richest in Kushan."
"Don't you just want to build a new house? I'll buy you the materials."
Dr. Yang stroked his newly grown beard and smiled with wrinkles on his face, "Thank you very much."
