Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Chapter 629 Fifth Uncle's Bonus

"It's okay. We've already deducted one pound of sand from every 100 pounds of goods. Doing business must follow rules. I'll arrange for inspectors to come next year. We won't accept moldy or spoiled goods. We'll clean up the dusty goods before selling them. The villagers don't have a sense of right or wrong. Don't worry about these minor problems. Now it's time to give you a bonus."

Liu Xia Lian used an abacus to calculate and found that there was a shortfall of 1,000 kilograms to 180,000 kilograms. Her fifth uncle and eldest uncle had done the publicity, promotion, and planting, and now it was time to divide the money.

"Uncle Wu, this is nine thousand yuan in total, six thousand for you and three thousand for uncle. Your bonus is three cents per pound, and uncle's is two cents. If things go well next year, your bonus will be fifteen or sixteen thousand."

Uncle Wu only felt stars in his eyes, dry mouth, and quickened heartbeat. This was the first time he had earned 6,000 yuan in his 40s. This was really exciting.

"Xia Lian, this is a bit too much. I know we are a family, but I still feel that you gave a bit too much."

"It's not much. I know it. I've been busy for a year and a half. I deserve this bonus. There will be more next year. Take it. You can give uncle's money to him. Although it's a normal salary, he is the village chief, so he must keep a low profile."

"Don't worry, your uncle is an old hand, he knows everything."

Uncle Wu took the nine thousand yuan and ran back home, with his big belly as if he was pregnant.

Aunt Wu was waiting there and asked quickly, "How much did you get paid?"

"I've already been paid, 45 yuan a month. Now this is called a bonus, 3 cents per pound."

Aunt Wu said anxiously: "You know I can't settle the bill, so tell me quickly."

"A total of nine thousand was given, six thousand to me and three thousand to the boss."

"My god, there are really six thousand?"

"Really? Hide it in the locker. I'll go tell the boss. Xia Lian is not convenient to show up."

Uncle Wu handed over six thousand yuan as he spoke. A brand new Great Unity banknote cost one thousand yuan at a time. Six thousand yuan was too rare.

"It's not that she is inconvenient to come forward, she just wants you to know that you get paid more. After all, you do most of the work. The boss is the village chief and has put a lot of effort into publicity."

"Stop talking nonsense. Keep the money and help with the cooking later."

The uncle was willing to spend money, killing a few chickens, buying half a pig, and dried and fresh vegetables. The things were bought by the uncle, and the money was paid by Liu Xialian.

Although there were only seven people who came, Daya, Erya, Li Daniu and Dian Yan were all big eaters. The food they cooked was not enough and they finished all the food on the table.

Uncle Six limped over and rolled a cigarette for Zhao Yong.

Compared with the past few years, my uncle's family has improved very quickly. Now they have an ox, four donkeys, and a new big-two-eight horse, as well as a donkey-pulled cart.

"Uncle Six, what have you been doing in such a cold weather? Your face is red from the cold."

"I'm going to the market with your sixth aunt to sell couplets and New Year pictures."

"How's business?"

"I sold more than 60 yuan today, but it depends on whether I can sell them all before the New Year. If I sell them all, I can make about 700 to 800 yuan. Doing business is much better than working. I plan to continue selling clothes and shoes after the New Year."

"Okay, anyway, my family only has a few acres of land, so I can plant it in my spare time when I'm setting up the stall."

Uncle Six looked around but couldn't find his daughter Yingzi.

"Well, Yingzi didn't come back?"

"No, I asked her, but she won't come back. The third year of junior high school has a lot of courses, and good grades will allow her to go to a good high school."

"Hey, she originally agreed to work, but you're bothering to let her go to school. I'll pay for next year's tuition, so you don't have to worry about it. Your sixth aunt and I have a higher income now."

Liu Xia Lian smiled and said, "No, Yingzi is older now. She will work in the factory during the two-month summer vacation, which is enough to pay for her tuition. She will come to my house for the New Year holiday in a few days. You don't have to worry about her. My mother is alone at home and it's quite boring. She can help feed the chickens when the time comes. It's nothing else to do."

There were dozens of people in the family, and four tables were set up. Some children did not sit at the table and ate in the kitchen.

After dinner, everyone else went out to play, leaving only Liu Xia Lian, uncle, and fifth uncle in the room.

Uncle Wu was still immersed in the joy of receiving a huge sum of money, and asked, "Xia Lian, next year we have 500 acres of honeysuckle and 500 acres of salvia miltiorrhiza, can you harvest them all?"

"Yes, don't worry. Now is just the beginning. Wild Chinese medicinal materials are far from enough, and planting is the mainstream. There is still a bonus period of 20 to 30 years, so don't worry about it."

"Uncle, the canning factory has been basically finalized. It will be built in the spring. The demand for yellow peaches is huge. I will send another great fortune to our village. The land on the west ridge of the village is about 300 acres, right?"

"Three hundred acres is more than that, about three hundred and seventy or eighty acres. Do you mean to bring water up the hill and plant all the yellow peaches?"

"Yes, peach trees grow fast. If you plant them in a Y-shaped pattern, they will bear fruit in two years and produce abundant yields in three years. The yield per mu is 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms. If you buy them at 10 cents per kilogram, the yield per mu is 700 to 800 yuan, which is comparable to the income from ten mu of corn."

"Should we also plant crops in the irrigated land south of the village? The soil there is more fertile and the yield will be higher."

Liu Xialian shook her head: "The hundreds of acres of Xiling are ordinary farmland, and planting fruit trees is in line with the policy. The land south of the village is grain land, and planting fruit is a bit against the rules."

The uncle laughed and said, "Why should we be afraid? In our mountainous area, the county magistrate has never been here in history. As long as the township doesn't say anything, no one will know."

"The area on the west ridge of the village was collectively planned by the village. As for the areas in other places, they are all planted by ourselves and have nothing to do with the village."

"Yes, they saw that yellow peaches can make money and planted them themselves. It has nothing to do with the village. I understand."

My uncle promoted the idea first and worked with the villagers. After the villagers had made arrangements, Liu Xia Lian provided yellow peach saplings, paid for a water pump, and bought steel pipes to bring drinking water up the mountain in the spring.

The next morning, Zhao Yong drove with Liu Xialian, uncle, and village chief Wang to see the land approved by the village. The location was good. It was about 50 acres of ephedra stone land, one kilometer away from the village, on the side of the road. It was difficult to lay the foundation for building a house in this place. It was too hard and needed to be dug bit by bit with a pickaxe.

There is enough space for warehouses, workshops, cold storage, canteen, employee rest area and activity venues.

"Village Chief Wang is very sincere. This piece of land is well chosen. It is close to the township and convenient for employees to go to work."

"Of course, Director Liu, don't worry. After the factory is built, street lights will be installed on both sides of the road, and employees won't have any problems working overtime."

"Okay, construction will start in March and be completed in the fall. Let's go to Zhangzhuang Village. Now that the source of goods has been finalized, I will feel relieved."

The group got on the bus and arrived at Zhangzhuang Village in just over ten minutes. It was about fifteen or sixteen miles away from Liu Xialian's hometown, Liujiazhuang.
