Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 79 Fish Pond Supervisor
Zhao Lei is also considering this issue.After all, his career is getting bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to do everything in person.The chicken farm has been handed over to Feng Bin and Chen Lan for management, and Hu Qiang and the others will be in charge of the vegetable plot and orchard. This fish pond must be managed by a trustworthy person, otherwise Zhao Lei is really too busy.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Lei asked Hu Qiang: "Uncle Hu, do you have a suitable candidate?"

Hu Qiang rubbed his chin and asked Zhao Lei, "Do you know Xing Wenming from the neighboring village?"

Zhao Lei shook his head honestly and said, "I don't know. I'm not like you. I know this area well and have a good relationship with everyone!"

Hu Qiang laughed, accepted Zhao Lei's compliment with peace of mind, and then said seriously: "Xing Wenming is a good fish farmer. He built two fish ponds near his village more than ten years ago. I heard that he can make a good profit every year. Tens of thousands!"

Zhao Lei asked suspiciously, "Since he can earn so much by himself, why is he willing to help me?"

"Oh, don't mention it!" Hu Qiang sighed: "Last year Xing Wenming planned to expand the scale and invested all his savings in it. As a result, all five fish ponds were wiped out. Not only did he not make money, but he also owed a whole lot of debt."

Zhao Lei laughed and said: "According to what you said, Xing Wenming's fish farming skills are not very good. How can I feel relieved?"

Hu Qiang whispered: "This matter has nothing to do with the breeding technology, it is because someone poisoned his fish pond!"

Zhao Lei said in surprise: "There really are such wicked people, did you catch them later?"

Hu Qiang shook his head, glanced around and said in a low voice: "I heard from Lao Xing that the biggest suspects are Wang Chenggang and his nephew Wang Tao. They once came to the door and wanted to participate in Lao Xing's fish pond. He refused straight away. A few days later, there was a poisoning incident, which almost drove Lao Xing to his death."

Zhao Lei gasped and said, "If this is the case, then Wang Chenggang and the others are too wicked!"

Hu Qiang nodded approvingly, and reminded Zhao Lei earnestly: "So you must not get into trouble with Wang Chenggang, who knows what that immoral guy will do. Last time you confronted Wang Chenggang face to face, I was really shocked .”

Now Zhao Leicai is not afraid of Wang Chenggang at all, but he also knows that Hu Qiang is thinking of himself, so he nodded with a smile and said: "I know, as long as Wang Chenggang doesn't go too far, I won't provoke him. Then please help I will ask Xing Wenming, if he is willing to manage the fish pond, I will give him a salary of [-] per month, and if the fish pond is profitable, there will be a bonus at the end of the year."

Hu Qiang said cheerfully: "Okay, I'll go find him right away. Lao Xing has been pressed by his creditors recently. If there is such a good thing, he will definitely agree!"

Facts proved that Hu Qiang was right. Xing Wenming immediately followed him after learning the news.

Xing Wenming was tall and thin, with a dark face, and asked Zhao Lei expectantly: "Boss Zhao, are all the old nonsense true?"

Hu Qiang frowned and said: "I said Lao Xing, we have known each other for more than ten years, how could I make fun of you like this?"

Zhao Lei also smiled and said, "Old Xing, Uncle Hu did not lie to you, so I asked you if you would like to help me."

"Of course I would!" Xing Wenming agreed without hesitation, and said expectantly: "With this income, I will soon be able to pay back the debt I owe."

Zhao Lei laughed and said, "Then we'll make a deal, and I'll leave the matter of the fish pond to you. There are two hundred and twelve soft-shelled turtles in the turtle pond, and [-] mandarin fish fry in the other three fish ponds. You have to worry a lot."

Xing Wenming said confidently: "Don't worry about looking for the boss, as long as no one intentionally makes trouble, I will be able to take good care of the fish pond!"

Zhao Lei nodded and said, "It's fine with your words. As long as the fishpond is profitable, there will be a large bonus at the end of the year. Maybe you can pay off the thousand debts this year."

Happy Xing Wenming rubbed his hands and muttered to himself: "That's good, that's good!"

But at this moment, Xing Wenming suddenly remembered something, and hesitantly asked Zhao Lei: "Look for the boss, it's okay to let me take care of the fish pond during the day, but... I have to go home at night, I'm afraid I can't work the night shift."

Anyone who raises fish in this area knows that whenever the fish fry grow up and are about to be caught, some shameless people will come to steal the fish.At this time, fish ponds need someone on duty 24 hours a day, otherwise those fish thieves will cause huge losses.

Xing Wenming also felt that his request was a little too much, so he explained to Zhao Lei uneasily: "It's not that I want to be lazy, it's just that the old woman at home has a sudden illness, and it's especially prone to attacks at night. I'm really worried that I won't be with her at night."

Hu Qiang also nodded and said: "Lao Xing didn't talk nonsense about this, he does have practical difficulties."

Zhao Lei said bluntly: "Since this is the case, Lao Xing doesn't have to be on duty at night. I will find another way. Don't worry, your salary and bonus will remain the same."

Xing Wenming said gratefully: "This is really great, I won't talk about other nonsense, I must take care of the fish pond for you!"

After Xing Wenming said this, he took the initiative to inspect the fish pond to see what areas needed improvement.It is a good thing for his subordinates to have such a positive working attitude, and Zhao Lei will certainly not stop him.

After the others dispersed, Li Jianguo found Zhao Lei and asked him hesitantly, "Xiao Lei, that, can you leave it to me to be on duty at the fish pond at night?"

Zhao Lei said unexpectedly: "Uncle Li, do you want to do this job?"

Li Jianguo nodded and said, "Yes, anyway, Xiaoqian usually lives in the school, so it doesn't matter where I sleep. The small building is next to the fish pond. You only need to get up a few times at night to check it out. I can do this job!"

Speaking of this, Li Jianguo said with some embarrassment: "I hope Xiaoqian can be admitted to university, and if she does one more job, I can save more tuition for her."

"Poor parents in the world." Zhao Lei couldn't help sighing, and then said to Li Jianguo, "After that, you will be on duty at the fish pond at night. I will decorate the small building recently, and you can move in then Yes. As for the salary on duty... let’s start with [-] per month, and if the fish pond is profitable, a bonus will be given to you at the end of the year.”

Li Jianguo shook his head quickly and said, "This salary is too high, I can't take it!"

For today's Zhao Lei, spending an extra 2000 yuan a month is nothing at all, he just smiled and said: "Uncle Li, we are all old neighbors for decades, so don't refuse, Xiaoqian will go to college in the future , but it costs a lot of tuition!"

Thinking of his daughter's future, Li Jianguo no longer refused, nodded vigorously to Zhao Lei and said, "Xiao Lei, I will keep this in my heart, thank you!"

After a week of busy work, the fish pond is gradually on the right track, and at the same time, the vegetable greenhouse has finally been built.
