"According to what Lishu said, if the company is established, the system will be different from before. It must be formalized. It will be impossible to go out to work. When the time comes to come back to farm, you will definitely have to sacrifice both ends."
"This..." Zhou Fugui's face froze. He still wanted his son to go with him. If that didn't work, his uncle could do it. But now that Zhang Changhe said this, why would he go out to farm if he couldn't?
Finally, the land is guaranteed to each household, and the land cannot be left unused. It belongs to the family.
Or else, outsource it? Wouldn’t it be possible to earn two shares of money this way?
Several other cadres were also hesitant like Zhou Fugui. They wanted to make money but had no one to take care of their family land. It was really a dilemma.
On the other side, Chen Lishu, Chen Mandun and Gu Shoufu went to the melon field early in the morning. According to Chen Mandun's observation, the melon field can be opened from today.
Melons are generally divided into two or three stages, namely the first crop, the second crop and the third crop. The best ones are the first batch of newly opened ones, and the price is higher. Chen Lishu priced the melons at 40 cents and waited for ten days.
After half a month, the price of the second crop will not be so high, and it may only be sold for 30 cents.
As the first melon to open in Shiliba Village, there was no need to publicize it at all. The news was released after eight o'clock, and by ten o'clock, two or three copies came to the door.
"Third sister-in-law, we agreed before that you would leave me two hundred catties first." In order to reserve the first portion, Gu Xingye specially brought the carriage.
There are few people growing melons, and they are even more scarce in the city. If you buy melons for 40 cents, you can sell them at the train station, and people will buy them for 60 to 70 cents.
Chen Lishu smiled: "Don't worry, fourth brother, if there is no one else, there will definitely be yours."
"Girl Lishu, I can't afford that much, can you buy fifty kilograms first?" An old man in the village held the money in his hand. The melons were of good quality. There was a big fair in the commune tomorrow, so he handed over the money first and paid for it tomorrow.
You can pick melons early in the morning.
There is another person behind who also wants to buy fifty kilograms. If he picks it now, he can pick it up and sell it in the town.
"Sister-in-law, I can help you collect the money." Seeing that everyone was about to start picking melons, Gu Xingping said with a smile.
Li Xiulan: "Stop collecting money because you are such a fussy person. Do something you can do, or go and help pick melons."
"Mom, I can't tell which one is cooked and which one is not. I can't help third sister-in-law and add some trouble to it."
Chen Lishu smiled: "Xingping will be responsible for collecting the money, and help me keep a simple record of the accounts." There are no counterfeit coins now, and the amount of money is not large, so basically there will be no problems.
"Hey." Gu Xingping responded, hurriedly took the pen and paper handed over by Chen Lishu, and asked everyone to go to her end to pay and order the weight.
On the other side, Hu Si, Chen Mandun and Gu Shoufu had already started picking melons in the fields.
"Lishu, do you want to sell these melons in bulk? It smells good. I want to buy one for my grandson to try." A watching lady held her child's hand and looked at the melon field eagerly.
"Auntie, go and pick one for your child to eat."
The auntie was a little embarrassed. It cost only 40 cents per catty. This melon was not small, and one might weigh half a catty. But spending 20 cents to buy a melon for my child was indeed a bit extravagant.
"I said to Mrs. Cai, why don't you just say you want one? People buy it for dozens of kilograms, so you just buy one. Can Dongzi's wife charge you two cents?"
A man watching the fun next to him said sarcastically.
When the woman heard this, her legs that had been moving suddenly stopped, and she hesitated to go or not.
Upon seeing this, Chen Lishu went straight to pick one and gave it to the child: "Take it."
The child was put into his mouth before he was washed. The woman quickly grabbed it and wiped it twice with the hem of her clothes before handing it to the child.
"You stay here and eat honestly, and I'll help pick the melons." After saying this, the woman smiled at Chen Lishu and entered the melon field.
Seeing that Chen Lishu was so talkative, the man who had just been sarcastic rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law Dongzi, your two nephews also want to taste these melons. I will pick two for them to try."
As the man spoke, he bent down and picked two melons.
"Xingping, go get your brother Dahui weighed. We all live in the same village. If there is any change, just wipe it off."
Hearing Chen Lishu's words, the man's hand holding the melon paused: "Children eat it, why do you treat me differently, Dongzi's wife?"
"Oh." Chen Lishu suddenly realized: "Brother Dahui, do you want two melons? Why didn't you make it clear just now? I thought you wanted to buy them."
The man had a look on his face, then he smiled and went to weigh Gu Xingping's head and pay the money.
Others who had some evil thoughts and wanted to ask for two, saw that Chen Lishu was not easy to fool, so they all stopped thinking.
Most of the villagers didn't know how to stand around and watch. They all lived in the same village, and there was nothing much to do anyway. Everyone was very enthusiastic about helping to pick melons.
It didn't take long to pick more than 600 kilograms.
"Thank you so much for today. When I left, everyone took two home to try."
"Hey, there's such a good thing. Lishu, we're not welcome." Several helpers took the melons and left happily.
After hearing the news, people came up the mountain one after another. Everyone picked thirty or fifty kilograms of melons. By the afternoon, they had picked more than six hundred kilograms of melons and almost sold them.
In the evening, the family had dinner and talked for a while, and then everyone went back to their homes.
"Look at the excitement of selling melons on the mountain today. More than 600 kilograms of melons were sold, and more than 200 yuan was collected in one day. I worked hard all day to make clothes, and only made more than 100 yuan a month. Even others
It's not as good as a day, why?" Liu Yuemin sat on the stool and said angrily.
Gu Xingmin raised his head: "Why do you want to plant melons? It's a little late. You have to wait until next year."
Liu Yuemin rolled her eyes at him: "What kind of melons should I grow? It won't taste good if I don't cook them well. Besides, do you know how to grow them?"
Gu Xingmin lay down on the kang and said truthfully: "I can't."
Liu Yuemin was a little angry when she saw his unmotivated look: "The fourth child still knows how to sell melons in the town. If you look at you again, you look like you have no bones every day. You can lie down without sitting down."
"It's not like we're busy with farming now. Besides, my brothers mentioned it first, so it's not good for me to grab business."
Liu Yuemin: "No, the third family is contracting the mountainous areas, and the fourth family is contracting the supply and marketing cooperatives. We can't fall behind, and we have to find a way to do something."
"Isn't it great now? Why are you messing around?"
"I think opening a restaurant is a good idea. I went to town two days ago. Liu Yong's restaurant has grown so big that he rented a front door. I think there are a lot of people there."
Gu Xingmin disapproved: "They have skills, but who of us can cook?"
He feels that he is living a good life now. He has no shortage of money. He can play cards during the slack period and is busy running a restaurant from morning to night without even having time to take a breath.
"Besides, what should I do with the land at home where I want to open a shop? I won't plant it anymore?"
