Druid's Country Retirement

"welcome!"

Xu Xuedeng was smarter this time and didn't mention anything about the inspection work. Instead, it was like meeting old friends, chatting and introducing the old people in the village.

Facing the elders in the village.

Li Hongbing has always been low-key, humble and respectful, because these old people have gone through hard times. They are alive now, not because of how good their lives are, but because of their hard lives.

In those days, only by hard work could one survive.

They are like a living history book. Looking through the past, you can see thrilling stories. One of Li Hongbing's favorite things when he was a child was sitting under the persimmon tree in the evening and listening to the old people in the village reminiscing about the past.

There is envy, happiness, curiosity, and mostly fear.

When these old people left one by one, these past events disappeared, as if they had never happened.

Li Hongbing humbly met with the village elders.

Accompanied by Xu Xueli, Xu Haitao and Li Ming, we walked into Tea Tree Valley.

To put it bluntly, Li Hongbing has lived in the countryside since he was a child. Except for going to school in Shilipu, he has only heard of other villages but has never been to them.

Chashugou is located between a ravine, with rolling mountains on both sides. It is the same as Caoshugou Village before. The whole village looks decayed, dilapidated and twilight.

There is a small square and a main village lane at the entrance of the village. Villagers' houses are built on the hillsides on both sides, and there are patches of farmland in the middle.

However, there are many tea trees in the village, and patches of tea trees can be seen everywhere, some of which are hundreds of years old.

"Village Chief Xu, there are so many tea trees in your village, how about the tea?" Li Hongbing asked doubtfully. It stands to reason that tea sales are very hot now. Chashugou should develop local characteristics and sell some tea, so that the conditions of the village will not be so bad.

Xu Xueli smiled bitterly, "Back then, our ancestors didn't know where they got the bitter tea trees. We tried it, and the fried tea was very bitter, even harder to drink than big-leaf tea."

"Also, the land in our village is not good. There are rotten rocks on the ground, gravel soil in the middle, and loess below. It's okay to plant some potatoes and peanuts, but it's useless to plant anything else. But this bitter tea tree grows strong."

Is there a problem with the soil?

Li Hongbing turned to look at Li Ming, who adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "Mr. Li, our inspection team has conducted a soil analysis. The soil in Chashugou is highly acidic, with a pH value of less than 5. This kind of highly acidic soil is not suitable for Suitable for most crop seeds, tea tree is very suitable.”

After receiving the results from the city, Li Ming crossed out the name Chashugou from the planting base. If he hadn't received a call from Mr. Li, he would have taken the inspection team to the next village.

Hearing what Li Ming said, Xu Xuedeng became anxious. He finally found a project that was willing to invest in Chashugou. This was the only chance for Chashugou. If he failed, he would be a sinner of Chashugou, and he would be punished by his descendants when he died. People scolded.

"Village Chief Li, the land in our village is really poor. You can grow potatoes and peanuts, and the contracting fee is cheap. Don't worry, you can have as much land as you want. Haitao, don't just stand there and say something!"

Xu Haitao moved his mouth. Mr. Li was right. The soil in the village was indeed not good, otherwise he would not have gone to the city to work on the construction site. However, seeing the anxious and frightened face of the educated uncle, he felt uncomfortable.

"Doctor Li, our village spreads lime on the ground after the autumn harvest every year. The harvest next year will be good."

"Yes, yes, yes, we spread quicklime on the ground, burn weeds and wrap corn poles. Some agricultural experts have been to the city before and told our village that doing this can reduce acidity." Xu Xueliang's eyes lit up and he quickly followed the introduction.

Li Hongbing waved his hand.

Looking at the leafy tea trees in the fields and ditches in the mountains, an idea slowly came to my mind.

"Li Ming, what do you think?"

Li Ming looked at Xu Xueliang and Xu Haitao, and nodded quietly, "Mr. Li, the company's suggestion is to abandon Chashugou. The environment here is not suitable as an oak vegetable base, and the return on investment is very low. It's completely It’s not worth the loss.”

you!
Xu Xueliang suddenly became furious and stared at Li Ming.

This dog was brought to the village, and he provided him with delicious food and drinks. He cooked the bacon for him every time he was willing to take out the bacon during the Chinese New Year, and all the bacon was fed into the dog's belly.

Even if you don't help and speak, you can't tear things down.

White-eyed wolf.

Just when he was about to curse, Xu Haitao quickly stopped him and shook his head slightly.

Li Hongbing frowned and pointed at the tea tree forest, "You, the layout needs to be enlarged and adapted to local conditions. We can't abandon this place just because the soil is not good. Haven't you seen the highlight of Chashugou? The oak brand cannot always be focused on vegetables. Up here, we can’t grow vegetables, but we can grow tea trees!”

"Li always has a vision, why didn't I think of that?" Li Ming immediately looked like he had a sudden realization and hurriedly flattered him.

"As the vice president of Oak Technology, you must have a sense of pioneering. You cannot guard your own land and turn a deaf ear to what is happening outside the window."

Li Hongbing suddenly reacted halfway through his words of words and deeds.

With Li Ming's perspective, how could he not think of changing vegetable cultivation to tea cultivation?

This guy is probably waiting for me!

His heart is sinister and his heart can be killed! ! !
Suddenly, he looked at everyone angrily and said Youyuan.

"Are you all playing me in the co-writing?"

"No, absolutely not. It was Mr. Li and Gao Zhan who had the foresight to discover the highlight of Chashugou."

Li Ming waved his hands repeatedly. Playing the role of boss is a taboo in the workplace. Even if he does, he cannot admit it.

After coming to Chashugou to investigate and get the soil analysis results, I knew that things at the vegetable planting base were going to be bad, so I approached Xu Haitao to discuss this. After all, he had a close relationship with Mr. Da Li, and he should be notified of the results.
After the two discussed it, they remembered the Orchid Longjing tea they drank at the Li family's old house. Mr. Li boasted proudly that he had improved this tea himself. If Mr. Li could improve the Orchid Longjing tea, then the bitter taste of Chashugou would be over. Can tea also be improved?

Neither of them could guarantee this, so they performed a sad drama for Mr. Li together.

As for the actor, it was none other than the village chief Xu with a high degree of education. In order to let him show his true feelings, the content was naturally not told to him.

The results were as expected.

Mr. Li focused his attention on the bitter tea tree.

"You guys!!" Li Hongbing shook his head and laughed. Although he was tricked by his subordinates, the flattery felt particularly comfortable, "Let's just settle it. I will dig up a bitter tea tree and put it in the car later. I will go back and study it, and you can follow The village chief Xu is discussing renting land."

Xu Xuedeng is still confused. He said before that the soil was not good and gave up the contract, but why did he agree again in the blink of an eye?

"By the way, I have one more thing to do when I come to Chashugou this time. Please help me." Li Hongbing remembered another purpose of this trip.

Ah!
Xu Haitao found that Uncle Xuedeng was still in a daze, and quickly poked him with his hand. Xu Xuedong responded, "Village Chief Li, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"Wanda, come here." Li Hongbing waved to Wanda and introduced Xu Xueliang, "Village Chief Xu, this is Fang Wanda, our village's deputy chief for operations. Our village currently has insufficient manpower for tourism logistics services. This time, I want to start from the tea tree. Recruit some people." Service

hiring!

Xu Xueli looked troubled.

"Village Chief Li, if it had been left in the past, you could have as many people as you wanted, but this would be too much. All the men in the village would go to build roads, and there would be no manpower available for a while."

Build the road!

Li Hongbing immediately realized that he had proposed the road construction for Qinglong Village. Unexpectedly, construction had already begun.

"Village Chief Xu, the workload of our logistics department is very light, that is, washing clothes, cleaning, and tidying up the house. If you are good at cooking, you can also cook. No strong labor is required. Women can do it. The salary is set at 3000 a month. Social security." Fang Wanda explained quickly.

No need for hard labor, just a mother-in-law.

Xu Xueliang looked at Li Hongbing suspiciously.

Every year during the Chinese New Year, some women who go to the city come back, all dressed up like vixens in gold and silver. They also encourage the women who stay in the village to go out to work together, saying that they can buy a car in one year and a house in three years.

As for what to do when we go out, everyone has an idea.As the old saying goes, laugh at the poor but don't laugh at prostitution, and don't help the poor when they are in need.

The family is poor, so who has the right to laugh at others? There is indeed a mother-in-law who secretly left the village.

The villagers all pretended to be blind and unable to see.

As the richest man in the forest, Village Chief Li would definitely not do such an immoral thing.

The salary is 3000 a month, and social security is also paid.

Such a high salary is no worse than working in the city, and you can work right in front of your home, making it convenient to go home.

Hesitate for a moment.

Xu Xueliang said, "Let's do this. I'll say it over the radio later and I won't stop anyone who wants to go."

Chashugou small square.

The conditions here are not as good as Caogou Village. It is just a slightly larger mud field without even a stage.

Several broken tables were placed in the small square.

Xu Xuedeng connected to the village radio and shouted with the microphone.

"Women in the village, listen up. The Caogou Village Logistics Service Department has come to our village to recruit workers. They are responsible for washing clothes, cleaning, tidying up the house, and cooking. The salary is 3000 a month. Those who are willing to come can sign up at the village entrance square. The age is set at Under 50.”

After shouting three times in a row, Xu Xueliang dropped the microphone and asked Xu Haitao to follow and take care of him. He took Li Ming to the village committee to discuss land contracting.

After a while.

A woman in a floral gown walked into the small square and saw four or five gentlemen sitting at the table. She looked a little guilty and turned around to leave.

"Second sister-in-law, you're already here, come here and let it go!" Xu Haitao shouted quickly.

When the village woman heard the cry, she stopped and walked to the table nervously, "Haitao, is it true what the academic uncle said? He has a salary of 3000 a month."

Regarding the village woman's suspicion, Xu Haitao naturally stood up for Li Hongbing unswervingly.

"It must be true. This is Village Chief Li of Caogou Village. He personally came to our village to recruit people."

"Sister-in-law, please sit down and chat slowly. This is the operation of our village. Deputy village chief Fang Wanda wants you to tell you about the work situation."

Li Hongbing smiled, paused when introducing Fang Wanda, and said that the villagers might not understand the operation, and it was far less direct than the deputy village chief.

There can be only one village chief, and there can be as many deputy village chiefs as you want.

After the village woman sat down, Fang Wanda immediately got into work mode.

Let me briefly introduce the work content of the Caogou Village Logistics Service Department, focusing on the salary. After all, most rural people are not well-educated. They come to work to make money. You may not understand a lot of big talk, so it is better to talk about salary directly.

The monthly salary is 3000, including food and accommodation, working 5 days a week, plus overtime pay for overtime work, and bonuses during holidays.

This kind of treatment, let alone in rural areas, not even urban workers can enjoy this kind of treatment. Just work 5 days a week, which can basically beat 90% of companies in an instant, not to mention overtime pay and holiday bonuses.

"Can you cook?" After the introduction, Fang Wanda added another question.

The village woman nodded quickly, "I know how to cook. I'll help cook for everyone in the village's weddings and weddings."

"That's right. My second sister-in-law's skills are definitely good." Xu Haitao intervened to help testify.

Fang Wanda nodded. Being able to cook is a bonus. If future customers of the B&B do not use the canteen, they will need to come to the home to cook. Compared with big fish and meat, pure farm food is more popular with tourists.

"That's OK. If you can cook, you can get an additional 500 RMB from the basic salary, but you have to pass the review by the service department canteen chef and know when you can start work."

That's it!

The village woman hurriedly stood up and said, "We have a baby at home, and the man goes to work in the city. I can go to work after I put the baby away."

And kids?

Li Hongbing, who was listening, frowned. The village woman's heart skipped a beat when she saw this. She was afraid that she would lose such a good job because of her child, so she hurriedly said.

"When the baby is old, I can just send it to my husband's house. It won't waste any time."

"No need to send them away." Li Hongbing smiled and waved, turning to look at Jianjun, "Register, and staff with children can send their children to Caogou Village Primary School for free."

Jianjun nodded and wrote it down.

The village woman was confused.

What kind of job is this!

Not only was the salary high and the benefits good, but the children could also go to school for free, and the last worry in my mind disappeared immediately.

He immediately smiled like a flower.

"I can go to work today and do whatever I want."

Fang Wanda registered the village woman's name on the paper and smiled.

"Don't worry, settle down at home first, and go through training before starting work. I will call your village to inform you when you have set a time."

With the first person to eat crabs.

Village women came to consult one after another, and Fang Wanda and Jianjun started busy work.

I looked around and saw nothing wrong with me.

Li Hongbing pulled Shan Xing and started wandering around the village accompanied by Xu Haitao.

Compared with Caogou Village, Chashugou has a different scenery. Looking around, the lush tea trees suddenly come into view, and its refreshing fragrance cannot be enjoyed without even entering.

It was noon in a flash.

Xiaowuzi jumped up and found the three of them, "Master, little daddy, the food at home is ready. I asked you to go back for dinner."

When we arrived at Xu Haitao's house, there were a few tables in the bustling courtyard and a group of village elders. There were also people busy killing pigs and sheep by the courtyard wall.

"My master is here!" Xiaowuzi ran to the door of the yard and shouted.

Everyone in the yard cast glances.

An old man with gray hair on his temples and a hunchbacked face and a wrinkled face walked out of the crowd tremblingly, his hands cramped and nowhere to rest.

"Doctor Li, this is my father." Xu Haitao whispered.

Li Hongbing hurriedly stepped forward and took the initiative to hold the old man's hands.

"Uncle Xu, excuse me!"

The old man was so excited that he couldn't describe it, "No, no, it's our old Xu family who has climbed high. We have climbed high. Hurry up and sit in the house and drink water."
