Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 213 Why I admire you

Li Muyang felt much warmer while eating the hot mutton steamed buns.

After the old lady brought the things to him, she returned to the shop and slowly cut the mutton.

I don’t know if it’s because of my age or because of my natural temperament.

Li Muyang looked up several times, but the old lady's movements didn't change much.

The knife is very stable and cuts the meat evenly.

"Auntie, I want to ask you something. Do you know how to get to Wuqiao Village?"

"I know. Why are you going to Wuqiao Village?"

"Oh, I'm going to do something."

"What are you going there for? Are you looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

"Auntie, I hear you tell me, are you familiar with Wutiao Village?"

"I'm not familiar with it. But someone is familiar with it. If you really don't know the road or the people, tell me and I'll point it out to you."

"That's a good relationship. Isn't there a non-staple food factory in Wuqiao? The director is Wu Zhongshi. Have you heard of it?"

The old lady stopped her hand, turned around and glanced at Li Muyang, her expression became not particularly good-looking.

Li Muyang just caught her eyes and wondered where he had offended this old lady. Could it be that Wu Zhongshi had no good reputation in this place.

The old lady's expression changed after hearing this.

If that was the case, then he had hit the muzzle of the gun.

"I've heard of it, Director Wu, who doesn't know about it?"

Li Muyang heard the sarcasm in the old lady's words, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just wanted to finish the mutton steamed buns quickly and then change places to ask questions.

Originally, this place wasn't too big, so some conflicts between people were inevitable. I could only blame him for his bad luck.

But after eating the mutton steamed buns, the rain outside became even heavier. He didn't have any rain gear, so he couldn't go out.

It was a stalemate here for a while.

Seeing her fidgeting, the old lady said casually: "If you really want to find Wu Zhongshi, just wait here."

"here?"

Li Muyang didn't know why and looked at the old lady in confusion.

"I told you to wait, why are you talking so much?
If you don't want to wait, you can go out now.

Anyway, the roads in this place are winding and rainy, so it is not easy for you as an outsider to find Wuqiao Village.

You young people, I always turn a deaf ear to what I say to you.Only when you suffer a loss will you realize that what we old guys say is for your own good. "

Well, Li Muyang was also helpless after being taught a lesson by a strange old lady for no reason.

However, he didn't think the old lady had a bad temper. He might have asked about Wu Zhongshi. She probably had some issues with Wu Zhongshi, and it was inevitable that she would project her dissatisfaction with Wu Zhongshi onto herself.

For the sake of him making steaming hot mutton steamed buns for himself and giving him a towel to wipe off the rainwater, be more tolerant and tolerant. Anyway, he will leave as soon as the rain stops.

He was determined that no matter what the old lady said, he just wanted to keep her smiling.

At this moment, the sound of car brakes and horns came from outside the door. Someone rushed into the store despite the wind and rain, bringing rainwater all over the place.

Li Muyang looked up and was stunned.

It turned out to be Wu Zhongshi.

It is really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

He didn't expect to meet Wu Zhongshi in such a small place.

When he was discussing Wu Zhongshi just now, he made the old lady dislike him. Now, it was good, Wu Zhongshi came directly to his door.

If the two of them had a fight, he really didn't know how to deal with it.

He doesn't know any deep grudges, grudges or grievances.

"Auntie, I'm here."

After Wu Zhongshi came in, he didn't see Li Muyang sitting at the table for the first time. Li Muyang was also very surprised when he heard Wu Zhongshi call his aunt.

The aunt here, I can’t say which one she is.

It may be the mother's sister, or the wife's mother.

Anyway, I call her aunt.

At this time, Wu Zhongshi also noticed Li Muyang, was slightly startled, and then strode to his table with a smile.

"Why are you here?"

"Haha, I just came here to see you. It's raining now. I thought I'd come in to have something to eat and wait for the rain to stop before looking for you. I didn't expect that we would meet you thousands of miles away, so we happened to meet you here. "

Li Muyang carefully told Wu Zhongshi this.

At the same time, precautions were taken.

Be prepared if the old lady suddenly gets mad and you'll fight again.

"Oh. You are looking for me, then wait a moment."

Wu Zhongshi said and walked directly into the kitchen, started making a bowl of mutton soup by himself, and walked out with a piece of pot helmet in his mouth.

Put the cakes and steamed buns on the table, take a sip of the soup first, then bite the pot helmet, eat a clove of garlic, chew it a few times with satisfaction and swallow it in your stomach, then ask: "What, what do you want from me?" Son?"

Seeing Wu Zhongshi being so casual, Li Muyang carefully looked at the old lady through his body and found that the old lady didn't make any big moves. He was suddenly even more uncertain about their relationship.

"Mr. Wu, this..." His eyes drifted straight to the old lady.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. This is my aunt's shop, my mother-in-law."

"Is that so?"

Li Muyang remembered that the old lady mentioned Wu Zhongshi just now, with an impatient, reluctant and disliked look on her face.

I thought that the mother-in-law and son-in-law were quite interesting.

Just say it directly when people ask.

It didn't seem to matter, and he said a bunch of incomprehensible things.

Fortunately, the rain outside stopped at this time.

The old lady took off her apron and threw it on the stool next to her, and said casually. "I'm going out to buy some coriander. I'll be back soon."

"Okay, I'll leave when you come back."

The old lady opened the door and went out.

"It turns out that Mr. Wu is already married."

"Is it weird to get married at my age? It's worth your fuss."

"That's not the case. It's just that I remember hearing your mother say in the hospital that none of you are married. Did you get married so soon?"

Wu Zhongshi was slightly shocked.

He knocked on the table gently and said helplessly:

"This is a long story. The short version of the story is that the girls I was dating were all engaged, but they passed away due to accidents. The old lady is my mother-in-law.

From then on, I didn't look for anyone else, so I stayed single.

So from my mother's perspective, isn't it true that I'm not married? "

"So that's it. Since we're not married, then you are..."

"Even if it doesn't come to the end. But in name we are engaged, then we are husband and wife.

Now that it's gone and left her mother behind, I can't just ignore it, right? "

"Oh."

Li Muyang couldn't comment on this kind of thing.

He couldn't tell whether this was affection or stubbornness?
I just feel that there is nothing wrong with this anyway. If he gets married later and still takes care of the mother of the girl who was engaged before, then there would be something wrong.

But he has never been married, so it can only be said that he is indeed a very good person.

How many people are not so kind to their mothers!
"Of course, don't think about saying that I am the only one who is filial.

In fact, it is also very good to me. It is not so cold on the surface.

Just because there was an accident and I lost my only girl, I must still feel a little bit resentful towards me, so let’s just complain.

Compared to losing a girl, what's the point of complaining?

I come here to eat every day.

I said it was to eat, but actually I just came to see it.

Anyway, the girl is gone and she has such a fate with me, so I will take her with me for retirement. "

"Mr. Wu, I didn't expect you to be such a kind-hearted person? You deserve my admiration for doing such a kind deed."

"Haha, let's not talk about this, this is actually what we should do.

People, sometimes you don’t know what the use of what you do is?Anyway, just think about it and do it this way.

Anyway, no matter what you do, some people will think it’s right and some people will think it’s wrong. Isn’t this the truth? "

"That's true."

"Tell me about your business. You came so far to see me in the rain. You must have something important. What, have you figured it out? You want to come here to see me?

Then I welcome you. You are welcome to come at any time. "

"Ha, thank you Mr. Wu for that, but I have no plans yet.

Didn't I tell you last time that I contracted some orchards, and now there are about [-] pounds of peaches that may need to be shipped.

I just want to talk to you to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation.

I guarantee that my peaches are not poisoned and are picked fresh from the tree.It's not the yellowish kind, and the quality is absolutely fine. "

"Oh, you mean peaches?

Yes, you told me before, I remembered it.

But I heard you say at that time, did you just contract the Taoyuan?Isn't it just a few months ago that you already have peaches? "

“Well, I re-grafted a large part of it, but there was still a small part that retained the fruit, which I plan to use to buffer me this year.

Otherwise, the investment would be too big and I wouldn’t be able to turn around my funds.

I'm not as generous as you. I can mobilize a lot of funds to do whatever I want. I need to do it bit by bit. "

"So that's it. It seems that you still want to start a career on your own, and you don't want to shelter from the rain under my little eaves."

"Haha, I'm used to being free, and I can't be restrained in your company. On the contrary, it causes inconvenience to your management.

I think this is good. We each do our own things. We are both partners and friends for communication. Isn’t it great? "

"It's really good. You can tell me about the peaches. My current canning factory assembly line has been renovated and I just need a batch of test products.

You only have [-] jins of peaches, which is not a big quantity. I just came to try out the equipment. "

"That's the best. Don't worry, you have the final say on the price. I will definitely lower it much lower than the market price.

To be serious, I still want to cooperate with you for a long time in the future.

I have now contracted the entire 300 acres of peach orchard across from us. If we cultivate it well, I estimate that there may be 20 kilograms of peaches every year in the future, which can effectively support your canning raw materials. "

"That's really good. Well, we know the basics anyway. If the quality of your peaches is indeed good, of course I'm willing to cooperate with you."

"Don't worry about this. If nothing else, the quality is absolutely top-notch. You can't joke about what you eat. I won't cheat you."

"That's good……"

Wu Zhongshi thought for a while, then swallowed the last piece of Guokui, "Let me ask you, you said your peaches will be ripe soon, when exactly will it be?"

“When I looked at it yesterday, it was estimated to be less than a week away.

The peaches should not be too ripe, otherwise they will be inconvenient to store and easily damaged unless they are picked, transported, and stored.

I think it would be best to pick the peaches within three days. "

"That's it, that's fine. Tomorrow...the day after tomorrow. I'll arrange for someone to come over to inspect the goods and pick them up together.

But...Brother Shepherd, let’s keep the same code. I admire you as a person and think we can maintain a good relationship in private.

But when it comes to business, we have to follow the rules.

You promised that the quality of the peaches is guaranteed. If my people find out in the past that they are not what you said, we will not want them, and I will also doubt your integrity because of this. "

"That's for sure, I want to have a long-term cooperation with you, and of course I won't make mistakes in this important part of our first cooperation.

Don't worry, if there is a problem, can you just smash the bad peach in my face? "

"Haha~, it won't happen, it won't~
You can't blame me for this. You will have to go through these things in the future. This person, once interests are involved, there will be no human kindness.

As the saying goes, a soldier never tires of deceit. So where are the most cunning people in peaceful times? They are not all in the shopping malls.

Used to it. "

"Haha, Mr. Wu is still well-informed. We are ordinary people and we don't even dare to think about such things.

I just want to make the Taoyuan have a good harvest through our good management, and then get some income, which can improve our own lives and make the people who work with us gradually become rich.

As for how much money you can make, this is not something you can just talk about, but it must be done in actual actions.

There is no point in dreaming about spring and autumn dreams all day long if you don't do practical things.

If you can make money just by dreaming, then why should you work hard? You can just lie on the kang and dream. "

"Haha~, that makes sense. Look at you. You keep saying that you haven't seen much of the world. From my perspective, you don't have ordinary knowledge.

I find it very interesting every time I chat with you.

Even though you are looking for business from me, I can learn a lot from you, so it’s not a loss. "

"Mr. Wu has such a big business and is still so polite. He is really an example for me to follow..."

"you are my role model……"

Both of them suddenly stopped and laughed.

"Then this matter is settled. I will gather people when I go back today. If you come to inspect the goods and there are no problems, you can pick them as you go to ensure the freshest state.

At the same time, you can also make an estimate of the taste and sugar content of our peaches. If the requirements need to be improved, we will make appropriate adjustments in the subsequent grafting and cultivation, and intentionally cultivate them.

The life span of a fruit tree is only a few decades, but it takes several years to cultivate. "

"Yes, that's why planting fruit trees is obviously more profitable than food, but there are not many people who can take care of the fruit trees. It's just that the cycle is too long.

Many times, people are poor because they cannot wait for a long period of time.

However, all investments with big benefits in the world require a long time of waiting. It is basically impossible to pursue short-term profits and will eventually fail. "

"Well, I think so too. Look at why gamblers gamble. In fact, they want to pursue returns in a very short period of time, so the possibility of failure is greater."

"That's right, so the quality assurance I just talked about with Brother Muyang is to hope that each other will not kill the goose that lays the goose to lay eggs. Only with long-term stability can we all gain more benefits."

"I understand that Mr. Wu actually has many choices. As far as I know, Ning County has many mountains and is rich in fruits. You can definitely find the source of fruits here. If you are willing to accept my things, you must be giving me face."

"Haha~, you are right, but face is something you earn by yourself and is not given by others.

I admire you as a person, so I give you face.

You may not know much about me, Wu Zhongshi, but everyone around me knows my character. If I, Wu Zhongshi, want to give someone face, then that person must first be worthy of me.

I'm not a philanthropist, nor am I a fool who can be easily deceived. I have nothing worthy of my appreciation and respect. Even if someone is attracted to me, I won't bother to pay attention to it. "

"Haha~ What should I do if the more Mr. Wu talks about me, the more I swell?"

"Brother Shepherd, you are actually too humble.

People often don't see themselves clearly, and some people take themselves too seriously and too powerfully.

But some people take themselves very lightly and are completely unaware of their own shining points.

You are undoubtedly the latter.

Do you sometimes wonder why I would like you, a person whose strength is obviously very different from mine... at least now, you are very different. Do you think I am confused?
Actually not.

My investigation of you is multifaceted...

Oh, the inspection I am talking about is not to actively ask you to do something, but to observe from the sidelines how you deal with various sudden events. "

"It turns out that there is still this link, so please tell me what is worthy of your attention. I will continue to carry it forward in the future and strive to do better."

“There are a lot of specifics, but I can say a few things.

Remember the first time we met on the road, right? "

"Of course, we were at loggerheads and almost had a dispute."

"That's your opinion. As for me, through that chance encounter, I actually saw several bright spots in you."

"Oh really?"

"of course it's true.

First of all, I think you are a filial person.

It is said that filial piety comes first. If a person is not filial to his own mother, who can he expect to be kind to.

I have always respected filial sons and hope that I can be a filial child.

Our parents brought us into this world and worked hard to raise us. It is really difficult to repay how much effort we put into this. "

Li Muyang nodded and said: "Okay, this counts as one, I really don't dare to admit the other things you want to say, but when it comes to filial piety, I can't refuse.

Mr. Wu and I have the same view. "

“The second point is courage.

At that time, because my mother suddenly became seriously ill, we brothers were in a hurry, so we had a conflict with you.

Strictly speaking, it must have been our fault first.

But at that time, my two brothers were so anxious that they couldn't help but want to take action. But you were alone, but you were not afraid at all. This kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have. "
