Song Tan's Notes

Chapter 1529. Discussion

Once the matter was made clear, everyone's resentment instantly dissipated, and was replaced by embarrassment.

We keep complaining about this and that every day, but when it’s our turn, we can’t bear to throw away the money when we see it... It’s all because we’re poor!

Now, Secretary Zhu went straight to the point: "April and May are the seasons for planting vegetables, so everyone should be more diligent. While the Song family has not yet hired workers, we should clean up the land and discuss what to plant privately. Hurry up."

"Otherwise, if they hire workers over there with high salaries, and we haven't even finished cleaning up the land at home, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

No!

The Song family is not ruthless when it comes to hiring workers. The food and wages are excellent, and they are very enthusiastic!

The captain looked at everyone's eager expressions and added slowly:

"Song Tan said that if any of the villagers need agricultural machinery, they will provide it this year, and the rent will be discussed later."

"I've already chewed this meal and fed it to you. If anyone doesn't work well and can't make money, don't come to me and cry at the end of the year. You can't even eat warm shit, how dare you cry?"

Rough words are not rough.

But the captain could say this, but Secretary Xiao Zhu was not convenient to say it. The two looked at each other, and there was a tacit understanding between them.

Yan Ran, who was standing by, looked at a separate portion of vegetable seedlings, and the three of them understood each other tacitly.

The people below didn't pay attention to the lawsuits at the top, but everyone knew that this year a big boss had brought two large trucks of farm machinery to the Song family. They were all small and could be done by the women and the elderly in the family with help.

Although its efficiency and tillage depth are not as good as those large ones, this is what they need for land like this!

Those who are more flexible have already started to quickly figure out how to plan.

Secretary Xiao Zhu is well aware of human nature. He exaggerated the efforts of other people and gave everyone a taste of the sweetness:

"Come on! Time waits for no one. Now that everyone understands, let's start drawing lots."

"All of these are put there with numbers, and they are divided according to the estimated income. But as we all know about farming, it is normal to get 10 kilograms from your family and 8 kilograms from his family. In order to prevent disputes, we draw lots, as we said before."

Our food depends on the weather, so who can guarantee how much we will have?

Everyone thought about the income of the past two days, and they were excited. They couldn't wait any longer:

"Catch him! Whoever regrets after being caught is a bastard!"

The captain remained silent, tearing up the paper balls, writing on the spot, and crumpling them, then found an empty wine box and put it there.

come on!

In a few seconds, everyone got their corresponding number. It was getting dark, and if they worked harder, they could open up another plot of land, so they asked impatiently, "Will the land be opened up? When it's finished, we can go back and plant the seedlings first."

Farming time is so precious in the spring. We cannot waste a night working in the fields with lights on.

Secretary Xiao Zhu then added: "Don't worry, there is one more thing."

"The water from the pond that the Song family dug on the mountain has very good quality. If the production volume wasn't so small, they could have opened a separate mineral water production line."

Everyone believes this. If it weren’t for the good soil and water, how could the vegetables in their family grow so well?

However, I heard that tens of millions of dollars were invested in building that mountain. They, as small families, cannot afford it. It is their destiny to earn this money and make a fortune.

"Let's use that water to irrigate the fields?" someone asked excitedly.

"You are so daring." The captain said with a sullen face, "It's just a small pond. You can't water yours but his. What? Why don't you fight first?"

"Why are you in such a hurry to have a meeting? It's a good thing!"

After saying this, the restless hearts in the crowd calmed down again. Secretary Zhu regained his position: "The water quality is good, but the amount is small. It is definitely impossible to supply everyone. But the old Song family is kind and said that there is no tofu grinder in our village now. Anyone who wants to do this tofu business can go there to fetch water."

"This water is only provided to one family. They don't charge for it. But whoever uses this water to make tofu has to give 500 yuan to the village every month after the business is successful."

"What is this money for? It's a special fund for a special purpose, to buy some rice, flour, grain, oil, clothes and other things for the lonely elderly people in our village."

"If any of you have this skill, you can go back and think about whether you can do this business."

This time, she didn't give everyone a chance to discuss and make a fuss, and said simply, "Okay, let's adjourn the meeting!"

There was a buzzing sound below, and the place became lively again.

The cost of making tofu itself is not much, so it is not a loss. But think about the expensive fruits and vegetables of the Song family, which are all grown with the good water. How good would the quality of the tofu made with this water be?

By then, could it be sold for 10 to 20 yuan per pound?

If that's the case, this small tofu business is enough to support the whole family, so why grow vegetables?

Yunyun, who had been silent in the crowd, said "Aiya" and turned to stare at her man: "Look at you! It would be great if you could do this skill!"

The honest man touched his head and grunted: "You, you want to sell earthworm manure, right? I have already prepared the land..."

After hearing this, Yunyun felt distressed again: "Are you stupid? Tell the Song family and rent their machines. It's not easier than digging alone!"

But there are only two people in their family, and she is determined not to work, so she can't have it all, right?

"Forget it." Yunyun was very resigned: "No matter how capable you are, you should take on a job that is within your means. I will just focus on my business."

But she chose her own way and refused to change, while other villagers discussed in groups:

"If that's the case, this tofu business is good! 500 a month is not much."

“Is that water really worth 500?”

"If it's not worth it, why would the Song family go through all this trouble? They don't want any money."

"Only people in our village can do it? I heard that my father-in-law's family can do it..."

"It must be someone from our village. The Song family is from our village. Any benefits are for us."

"First of all, there must be a place, right? If the house is too small, or the yard is too small, it can't be done."

“Making tofu is hard work, and it’s hard to do it if there are not enough people in the family.”

"The guy who used to make tofu in Shitoupo, I wonder if he's willing to teach me his craft..."

"By the time you learn it, maybe they've already ground their tofu..."

Some were talking, some were silent. Some were thinking, and some thought that growing vegetables was a great career.

Everyone had a lot of thoughts in their mind, and one thing led to another. The dim light of solar street lamps illuminated the mountain village, and even the night wind was noisy.
