As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, time seems to speed up, and the breath of autumn quickly fills the air.
The most obvious thing is that the autumn tiger has finally retreated, and jackets are beginning to be needed at night and in the morning in the mountains.
At this moment, the Song Tan family started recruiting workers again in the brigade——
[It takes five or six people to cut golden cherry trees, including pruning and cutting, and requires quick hands and feet, waist and legs]
The group became lively again.
However, compared with the few people in the past, there are obviously a few more prime-age men and women recruiting workers this time. They all came back from work during the Mid-Autumn Festival and did not plan to go back again. In the past, everyone would not be willing to come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival just because they could still earn a few months' salary before the Chinese New Year.
But that was before.
Since the old Song family made a big move in the spring of this year, they have hired people to do work every now and then. Sometimes the salary is tens of dollars, sometimes it is hundreds. Counting it here and there, I hired people five or six days out of ten. And that’s not even counting the work on the mountain!
The elders in the village may not know a lot of words, but they are smarter than anyone else in calculating accounts!
Although the old Song family's important people are unstable, there are only so many people in the village, and they are the ones doing the work back and forth. Even if they don't work in a month, they can still earn two to three thousand yuan. Going out to work?
Six to seven thousand a month is a salary for young people. Just say that the able-bodied laborers in their village are basically over fifty. At this age, even high-paying factories won’t accept you now. For those factories that are willing to take over, a ten-hour day shift and night shift may only cost 4,000 yuan a month. In addition, there are various difficulties in adapting to food and accommodation in the factory...
In short, everyone is now proficient in using mobile phones, and they can also see the news about the recruitment of workers in the Old Song family. The old parents at home are settling accounts like this again... No, the excited person will come back just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
As soon as the recruitment information was posted in the group, an unprecedented 8 people signed up!
It can be seen that it was not easy to gather so many people to work in the past.
Ulan, on the other hand, held up his cell phone and smiled happily: "Hey, I was expecting that we wouldn't be able to find that many people for transplanting seedlings in the mountains in the next few days. Look, here we have three or four people coming back from work in the village!"
She is now a qualified rural HR, and she does not panic at all when there are too many applicants.
At this moment, I didn't hesitate to @several of the middle-aged villagers: "You have just come back, rest for two days, and I will dig tree holes on the mountain the day after tomorrow for you to come. This is a laborious job, 220 hours a day, and I will take care of the food on the mountain at noon."
As soon as he said this, the three gentlemen who had just been rejected were no longer anxious at all.
The salary was quite satisfying at first, but when he heard that he still had to take care of a meal, the three dependents who were still working were instantly relieved.
What do you say? We are all from the countryside, so it’s not like we can’t cook, but if we’re eating alone, or going to the mountains to eat cooked by a chef, it’s definitely better to eat cooked by others.
However, compared to the folks in the village, it was Princess Yingjun, the four of them, and two little border collies who were overly smart and lively - Xiao Ten and Xiao Eleven - who were employed earlier.
There was nothing I could do, Baoer had too many names, so I had to omit a few of their names when it was their turn.
There was no technical skill in growing the grass on the riverbank, so now it has several inches of green buds. According to Professor Song, the first crop of this thing can even be harvested by early November at the latest!
Their first job is to guard the river beach to avoid being damaged by other things.
In addition, I also watched several newly built houses here.
The river beach is not suitable for building houses, but building a few cowsheds to protect them from wind, rain and frost is still no problem. By the way, houses for several dogs have also been set up.
Now it is paved with red bricks and straw, not to mention how comfortable it is! And they have been recuperating for so long, and now they have finally returned to work. The dogs are in high spirits every day, not to mention how energetic they are!
The most painful thing about pruning golden cherry blossoms on the mountain is Guo Dong: "Why do we have to prune it now? Wait a little longer. Some of them can wait even longer!"
Song Tan laughed: "How much inventory have you accumulated? It's two different things to pay for everything you don't use this year. Why are you so reluctant to part with it?"
Guo Dong was heartbroken: "We may not all use it up this year, but it's not like the Golden Yingzi will be available after the New Year."
New? We have to wait until July or August at the earliest before production starts again, right? "
Like this year, she received it in May and June. She wished she could only get three taels of dry goods a day, and she had to get it every three to five. It was not until September that the harvest was finally carried out, and the stocks were full.
Now I see that Song Tan arranged for someone to hold a big tea scissor and push it all the way. What a pity that there are scattered pieces that are not fully mature!
Song Tan shook his head: "It's almost enough. It will take at least half a month to mature. I need cuttings all around the mountain. Now is the easiest time to take root. There is no time to delay."
It's not that they can't survive if they wait a little longer, but they basically stop growing when the weather gets cold. It will be difficult to grow to a large size by next spring, and there will be no way to build a simple defense line around the mountain.
Guo Dong thought about it and it was true.
And next year, the entire outer area of the mountain will be covered with golden cherry blossoms, so she can not only stock up on goods, but she can even become a second-tier dealer selling medicinal materials!
Although her golden cherry seeds are among the most expensive in the industry, the effect is completely different from ordinary ones! As long as you are discerning and have tried the medicinal properties, you will never miss it!
Thinking about it this way, the scattered fruits on the branches no longer attracted Guo Dong. She even asked:
"Is it enough to invite five people? Do you want more people to come and try to make the cuttings faster?"
Song Tan shook his head: "No, the weather has been very good during this period. The difference between one day earlier and one day later is not that big. These five aunts who often work are quick and not lazy, and the time of one week is almost the same."
But the branches of golden cherry trees are all covered with thorns, and ordinary anti-prick gloves are not immune to them at all. It's really not easy to do this job very quickly. How about a price of 120 a day?
For the aunts who often come to work, this job requires a little attention, but the salary is good and not tiring, which is already good!
No, they came here early in the morning, put on gloves, picked up scissors, and while chatting, they picked out the branches that were piled in the yard that were not that old, and just "clicked" them.
The golden cherry blossoms are full of vitality, and the weather is just right now. There is no need to do much processing at all. You only need to cut them section by section, then carry the basket up the mountain, and each person can separate a section for cutting at will.
Zhang Yanping doesn't have to make winter melons or wash beans for the time being. He rarely feels relaxed. Looking at the baskets of branches, he can't help but sigh:
"How beautiful it will be when it blooms next spring and summer! Do you want me to contact a few photography teams? Next spring and summer, even if you don't go into the mountains, just use the golden cherry blossoms as a wedding photo location on the outside, it will definitely be special popular."
