The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

After the rare holiday, Chef Bao and Zhou Quan, who returned to the village, returned to their busy lives.

Compared with the past that was just busy because of being busy, the two people who had a direction began to work together to reach the goal.

The two people who have clarified their future goals feel more motivated in life, and the two energetic people are working hard towards the future they both expect.

In the flower shed in the west mountain of the two surname villages early in the morning, he thoroughly and carefully inspected each two-color rose in the shed, and after confirming that they had fully met the picking standards specified in the contract, he turned around and waved his hand, signaling to the waiting uncles and aunts that they could Start cutting flowers.

The flower farmers who had been preparing for a long time put on masks and gloves, and walked into the rose flowers with flower scissors.

Now the roses in the flower sheds of Liangxing Village have long been different from the past. Because of intelligent control and scientific planting, as long as the flower farmers are willing, they can change the ratio of water and fertilizer at an early stage, or adjust the temperature and humidity in the shed. The time to market of roses in the shed due to human intervention.

As long as the flower growers want, they can advance the budding time of the rose flowers in the shed by one week, or delay it by about half a month, so as to avoid the embarrassment of being listed together with other roses of the same variety, or to choose better time to market.

It is now the beginning of December, and Zhouquan has used temperature control and changing the ratio of water and fertilizer to speed up the time to market for those two-color roses in his flower shed.

As the technical director of the village, as the only person in the village who participated in the flower company's contract throughout the whole process, he felt that he had the obligation to be No.1 in the village to complete the contract.

Therefore, in December, when the supply of fresh-cut flowers on the market began to decrease due to the temperature, Zhou Quan did not hesitate to choose to speed up the budding speed of the two-color flower seeds in the shed, and strive to make the fresh-cut flowers in the shed as soon as possible. Chinese rose listed.

Yesterday, he took the flower company's staff in charge of the flower garden to visit his two-color rose shed. After earning the consent of the other party, he decided to start picking today.

This is the first flower shed in the village to fulfill the contract to provide flowers to the flower company. As long as there are people in the village who have signed the contract, there is no one who does not pay attention.

I heard that he was going to pick flowers today, and people with the skills and ability in the village basically came to help early in the morning.

Zhouquan is not afraid of crowds, they work faster, anyway, he now knows that no matter how much he wants to give money, none of the old folks in the village will ask for it. Don't you think of yourself as an outsider?

After making amends to the angry elders many times, Zhou Quan has also learned to be smart. He welcomes all those who are willing to come to help, but after the work is done, no one is allowed to leave, and everyone has to stay for breakfast.

Like other agricultural and sideline products, fresh-cut flowers have to be delivered to the end before the flower shop opens to welcome customers. Therefore, despite the enthusiasm of everyone in the flower shed, the genius outside the flower shed has just lighted up.

As a village with fresh-cut rose as its pillar industry for more than [-] years, the flower farmers in the village are all good at work.

Although there are many people in the flower shed, it is in good order. Some are in charge of cutting flowers, some are in charge of picking up flowers, and some are in charge of fresh-keeping, packaging and transportation.

In the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, in addition to freshness preservation, the transportation of roses also needs to consider antifreeze. The purchase price of these cut two-color roses is more than ten yuan each. If something goes wrong, it will be a big loss. They are all cheered up, and they dare not be negligent at all.

In the morning, the cold-chain fresh-keeping vehicle from Qiqi Flower Company, which was in charge of picking up and delivering Jinpin flowers, drove into Liangxing Village on time. The village chief Chen who saw the transport vehicle on the top of the hill told everyone to get ready for the handover.

As the first batch of high-quality roses produced by Fenghuang City Flower Garden, it is not only Liangxing Village who attaches great importance to this batch of flowers, but also the flower company.

Ms. Tong, who has been promoted to be a manager and is responsible for all the flower shops in the province to arrange and export flowers, also came here in person this time.

Before the flowers are loaded into the car, according to the regulations, the quality personnel of the flower company need to randomly check the quality of the flowers in the boxes, and they are very confident in their own flowers. They are very confident in giving up their positions thoughtfully and generously, and let the staff check the quality at will.

Seeing an acquaintance coming over, Zhouquan was in a good mood and jokingly said, "Sister Tong, would you like to open the box and check?"

Manager Tong, who was being teased by others, said dumbfoundedly: "Dare to make fun of your sister, be careful that I really open the box, and then say it is unqualified without even looking at it."

"Sister, you are not that kind of person. I understand you. You have always acted impartially."

"Poor mouth, how come you have learned to be slippery too?"

While joking, the staff in charge of quality inspection came back one after another. The four of them each opened five or six boxes, carefully inspected and evaluated the grade of the flowers inside.

After glancing at the list handed over by the quality inspectors, Ms. Tong waved her hand and said, "No problem, let's check and load the truck."

"Sister Tong, do you really not take a look?"

"Come on, I don't come to your flower shed very often? I saw it yesterday, and I know the quality of the flowers inside. Why do you spend so much time. Come, let's talk about the price."

Manager Tong is telling the truth. As a benchmark in the village, the flower shed in the first row has always been the most visited flower shed.

Not long after becoming a manager, Ms. Tong, who is determined to do a good job, drives over every three days to take a look. She knows no less about the flower sheds in Liangxing Village than the villagers.

It is precisely because she knows what she knows that Ms. Tong dares to wave her hand to let people load the car. You must know that this is the first batch of high-quality roses since she took office. If something goes wrong, it will be a joke.

It is also because of understanding that Store Manager Tong is so relieved about the flowers in Zhouquan's flower shed. She knows that all the flowers in this shed are of high quality, and there is nothing wrong with it.

This variety with one flower and two colors has relatively high requirements on planting conditions and technology, and the supply of goods on the market has always been very tight.

Once this batch of high-quality two-color roses appears, it will definitely attract people to loot them.

The only regret is that Zhou Quan signed a premium contract with them, which made their income much worse than the guaranteed contract.

With the help of everyone, more than 5000 two-color roses in two flower sheds were quickly loaded onto the transport vehicle. Manager Tong gave cash on the spot according to the price she had just negotiated with Zhou Quan.

It doesn't matter if it's a show or something else, in short, Manager Tong still hopes that the money can be handed over to Zhou Quan directly in front of everyone, and also let other flower farmers in the village who signed the contract see that as long as they grow flowers well, they can earn money. Into a lot of RMB.

Knowing in his heart why Manager Tong was going to do it, Zhou Quan smiled and cooperated, as long as the other party received money according to the contract, Zhou Quan didn't mind being treated as an exhibition object.

The flower seller got the money, and the flower collector got the good flowers. After everyone was happy, the people from the flower company drove away, leaving behind the villagers who saw the cash and whispered, making their own plans in their hearts.

Zhou Quan doesn't care what they think, anyway, the flowers in the flower shed are there, how and when they want to sell them, the couple can discuss it when they go home.

Holding the thick stack of banknotes that he just got, Zhou Quan stopped the big guy and said: "Everyone, uncles, aunts, aunts, and sister-in-laws, don't go to the hotel. Breakfast is ready, let's go eat something warm. "

It is a tradition in Phoenix to take care of the food for the helper, so everyone was not too polite, and a group of people went to the B&B happily and jokingly.

The B&B knew early in the morning that the flowers would be harvested today. Chef Bao had already prepared breakfast for many people who would come to eat after work.

It just so happens that there are no guests on the side of the four entrances, so I cleaned up the main house and used it to entertain guests.

Anticipating that there should be a lot of people coming back to eat, and the helpers are not at work yet, Chef Bao thought about it and decided to make some simple dishes.

But this simplicity is not perfunctory, and things have to be done well.

The two rooms on the west side of the main house are opened, and the iron pot on one side is used to boil noodles, while the other side is prepared to make brine.

By the time Zhouquan brings people back, the food here has already been prepared, a large pot of hand-rolled noodles, pickled vegetables and roasted pork stew, a platter of brine, a platter of salted eggs, salted duck eggs, and a platter of salted goose eggs. Mixed cauliflower, there are meat and vegetables, hot and warm, a group of people are happy to eat around the table on and off the kang.

Chen Youcai was eating the noodles in the bowl with a grunt, and from time to time he raised his head to pick up the brine platter in front of the chopsticks, lowered his head to eat a few mouthfuls, raised his head to scoop up a spoonful of pickled vegetables and roasted pork brine and sprinkled it in his bowl.

The noodles were hot and fragrant, and Chen Youcai was sweating on his brow, but he still couldn't bear to put down the bowl. After eating one bowl, he picked a second bowl of noodles, and said with a smile while eating, "Ah Huang's craftsmanship is just fine." , the cooking is delicious and the noodles are also delicious.”

Zhou Quan, who was also holding a large bowl, picked up a half-cut salted egg for the other party and said, "Uncle Cai, if it tastes good, eat more."

While eating, the village chief Chen Youde cleared his throat and said: "Seeing that the village and the small rivers and streams outside the village are about to freeze, our village's winter ice play and farmhouse activities will start soon. Recently, the village committee The meeting has contacted the manufacturer for everyone, and if anyone needs skates, skates and protective gear, come with me to the village committee to sign up after dinner.”

Most of the families present mainly operate flower sheds, and there are only a few that also take care of farmhouses, and the homestay is the largest one.

So after breakfast, these few wandered around and went to the village committee with village head Chen.

I ordered a bunch of ice supplies from the village committee. When I came back with the list, I planned to discuss it with Chef Bao to see what else needed to be added. After taking it to the B&B, I saw that people actually not here.

I asked Xiao Bao who was running the hall, and the boy said that his cousin seemed to have gone back to the second floor.

When Zhou Quan returned to his home, he found that Chef Bao found out the trolley case he used to go to school when he entered the house, and now he was wiping it with a rag.

"Brother Baoyan, what are you doing rubbing it?"

"I'm going to go out in a few days and go to Suizhou to pay respects to my master's birthday. Will you go with me?"

"Hey, can I go?"

"Why can't you go? The old man's birthday is nothing else. Of course, the more lively people are, the better."

"Then can we all leave at the homestay?"

"It's okay, I've already thought about it. If you go with me, the hotel can take a break for a while. There are not too many guests, and there are no reservations. After sending these people away, I will let everyone go. Days of paid vacation. From summer to now, everyone has been busy for such a long time, so it’s good to take a break.”

"You go with me, I want to introduce you to my master, master, and my brothers."

Now that the other party had already said that, Zhou Quan didn't hold back, and immediately squatted down and started to pack things together with Chef Bao, intending to unpack the luggage in advance.
