Grandma You looked at the blue-grey sky and then at Jiang Wenmei:
"Director Jiang, are you going to pick tomatoes now? Can you clearly see which one is Hongdiman?"
"Grandma You, I brought a flashlight! You can help me bag the tomatoes on the field, and I can pick them myself!"
The lightweight sponge cover does not weigh heavily, so you can weigh it after putting it on.
"The ground is wet now, and the water on the tomatoes is not dry. It's difficult to pick them and store them!"
Grandma You’s conscientious advice: “It’s best to pick tomatoes in the afternoon or evening.”
Jiang Wenmei touched her nose. After so many years of purchasing, didn’t she know?
"Grandma You, dozens of kilograms of tomatoes were used up in just one meal at noon. How could we spend the night?"
She guarantees that it will take no more than six hours from picking it in the field to delivering it to the diners' tables.
The old lady couldn't stop her, so she could only drag Jiang Wenmei to the ground...
There was no air conditioning, and it was another hot day that made You Yu want to shave the curly hair on his head.
I woke up in a daze, freshened up, and brushed my teeth.
I took a good friend with me and was about to go to have breakfast next door when I saw a small truck parked in the courtyard of her house.
"Good morning, sister!"
Jiang Wenmei greeted You Yu happily, saying that the early bird catches the worm!
Under her fiery eyes, she plucked all the tomatoes that were nearly ripe.
One hundred and six pounds!
Looking at the two vegetable baskets, You Yu's face turned green: "Sister Jiang, my tomatoes are different from those grown in the greenhouse. The main ones are: naturally red and very ripe. Picking them too early affects the quality of my tomatoes! "
Jiang Wenmei said with a smile: "Actually, the eight-ripe ones I've tried are all delicious, not sour at all! It's just the right amount of sweet, and the flesh is still crispy, so it's just right for salads."
"Excuse me, pretend I didn't say anything!" You Yu clasped his fists.
Yes, 78-80% ripe tomatoes are just right to eat at night if they are exposed to the sun during the day.
On a morning when there were no tomatoes to eat, she earned 424 yuan in soft girl coins. For the first time, she felt that making money no longer tasted good.
"Hey!" The older children sighed in unison.
After sending away Supervisor Locust Jiang, the aunt and nephew drank porridge listlessly with salted duck eggs.
Thinking that he still had tasks to do today, Pangpang reluctantly cheered up.
After eating breakfast and sweating all over, the energetic baby just wiped his mouth and slipped out of the house.
It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and the sun had already begun to shine. A group of half-year-old children gathered in the canteen of Big Buck Tooth's house.
Crack melon seeds and listen to the bragging of the little kid coming down from the mountain.
"Do you know? There is a new restaurant opened by a beautiful Chinese in the county, called Dai Kai Shi! The buns sold there are called Han Bao Gou'er, and the fried chicken Feifei..."
"You just said you have eaten Mo De? Is it expensive?" The villagers have never heard of this restaurant opened by a beautiful Chinese. This cow is a bit fresh.
"I must have eaten it!..."
The above omitted one hour is the detailed description of Pangpang’s classmate eating dai kai shi for the first time, and he expressed his love for fried chicken legs several times.
The nine boys, the oldest twelve years old and the youngest seven years old, were all fascinated.
The child’s final summary of the topic: “I don’t know if it’s expensive or not, but it’s my wife who’s treating me anyway! She’s so generous, I can order whatever I want and eat whatever I want.”
Children: I really want to beat him!
"Do you want to eat dai kai shi?" I cast such a bait, I don't believe that my friends won't take the bait.
"I want to!" The youngest one was so greedy that he was drooling. He also wanted to eat the fragrant chicken legs.
"Pangpang, do you want to treat me?" The oldest child, twelve years old, was still clear-headed.
"When will we go?" This is the question that everyone is most concerned about.
The little kid put his hands on his hips and bulged his eyes: "For no reason, why should I treat you to dai kai shi?"
Aren't you asking?
The one with itchy hands had already moved to Pangpang.
The extremely perceptive Pangpang quickly spoke loudly: "My mother-in-law said that she wants to ask someone to help her look after the tomato patch, four hours a day, and she will pay two yuan. Anyone who wants to help her look after the tomato patch before school starts, she will ask Have a meal of dai kai shi.”
After the words fell, some of the children felt slightly uncomfortable on their faces, and their thin-skinned ears were slightly red.
The kid who had never stolen a tomato was very excited: "I want to go, do you really want to pay two yuan?"
There are still more than forty days before school starts on September 1st. Primary school students can earn two yuan a day.
Eighty or ninety yuan, that's a lot of pocket money.
"Ma'am, I keep my word. I will pay you once a week. Do you want to come?"
"Count me in!"
"Me, me, me!"
The nine boys responded very positively. Anyway, they had nothing to do and they had not made any money of their own yet.
Pangpang was very satisfied and cleared his throat: "You can't go home while working. If the tomatoes are stolen by others, you won't get any wages, and you won't be invited to eat dai kai shi!"
"..."
Before lunch, Pangpang led a group of children from the sixth, seventh and eighth production teams to find You Yu.
You Yu took out a stack of written, very formal summer employment agreements.
In words that elementary school students can understand, each other's rights and obligations are marked on the agreement.
Passed unanimously!
You Yu divided the children into three groups, and each group was matched according to their age: older, middle and younger.
The morning shift is from 8:00-12:00, the afternoon shift is from 12:00-16:00, and the evening shift is from 16:00-20:00.
Three shifts take turns.
If you report or catch someone stealing a tomato, you will be rewarded five yuan.
On the last day of August, when wages were due, the boss treated everyone to a delicious meal of Dicos.
Finally, let the little ones sign their names on the agreement, and it was a full sense of ceremony!
There was that anxious little guy who patted his chest on the spot and said he could go to work today.
It's a pity that You Yu disagrees!
The weather was too hot, and she was afraid of exposing the little ones.
This afternoon I asked Grandpa You to invite a few people to build a shed next to the tomato field for them to take shelter in the shade.
"It starts tomorrow. You Jindong and your group will have the morning shift tomorrow. You can't be late at eight o'clock!"
"Auntie, if you say eight o'clock, it's eight o'clock. If you're late, you'll deduct my wages!" The baby's father calls You Yu a nanny, and there's nothing wrong with the baby calling her great aunt.
"Pangpang classmate, I will leave the on-site guidance to you, and you will also be paid."
"It's an order!" After all, he has been a first-grade monitor for a year, so he still has some organizational skills.
The old lady couldn't help but laugh when she saw how busy her little granddaughter was, and how she let the children shout neat slogans.
The old man was not happy to give others twenty yuan a day, couldn't he earn the money himself?
You Yu brainwashed the old man over and over again: "How many hours can you stand under the sun when the weather is more than 30 degrees? If your pillar falls down, won't it be my mother who is tired? Twenty yuan is five pounds. Tomato!"
If I had to replace it with five kilograms of tomatoes, it wouldn’t be so heartbreaking to think about it...
