Super Orchard

Chapter 16 Recruiting Employees
Early the next morning, after jogging around the mountain with Dumb as usual, he returned home, had breakfast, and walked out of the house again. At this time, the construction team had already started work, and the sound of machines roaring everywhere.

Fortunately, there were hundreds of meters of apple groves blocking the way. When they came to the wild grape field, the noise of the construction team was not too harsh. Shen Guangyang waved the crank to start the tractor and continued to plow the land.

In the past few days, there were members of the construction team living in the shed every night to guard the construction site. Shen Yang simply parked the tractor in the field, and someone was watching at the mouth of the valley. There was no need to worry about anyone coming to steal the tractor in the middle of the night.

Fifteen acres of land is neither big nor small, and Shen Yangguang drove a tractor to plow for a full week before he plowed all the land.

The next step is to dig out the furrows and divide the land into ridges and furrows. Generally, if a single fence is used to plant grapes, the distance between the furrows is about [-] meters. Shen Guangguang decided to increase the distance to two meters. Although it will reduce the number of wild grapes planted, it can leave enough space for strawberry planting.

The reason for adopting the single trellis method is also to consider the reason for planting strawberries in the future. If trellises are used, the vines of wild grapes will completely block the sunlight from above, making it impossible for strawberries with low plants to grow.

If a single fence is used, wild grapes are planted in the middle of the ridge, and strawberries are planted on both sides. When the strawberries grow in autumn and bear fruit in winter, the wild grapes have already lost their leaves, and the bare vines will not affect the absorption of sunlight by the strawberries.

Now Shen Yangguang does not have large-scale agricultural machinery in his hands, this work can only be done manually, digging ditches and ridges is a physical job, Shen Yangguang began to worry about such a large piece of land, if he counted on himself, even if his waist was tired Impossible to complete in a short time.

Seeing that the time for the installation of the greenhouse is getting closer and closer, and the wild grapes and strawberries need to be planted as soon as possible, Shen Yangguang decided to go to the village to recruit some experts in farming to help.

When we walked to the intersection in the center of the village, outside the house of village chief Wei Liangping, Jiang Xiaoxi happened to pass by with a bucket of newly bought soybean oil. Seeing Shen Yangguang hurrying, he asked with a smile, "Brother Yangguang, why are you in such a hurry?" ?”

Hearing Huang Weicheng's elder brother coming and going every day, Shen Yangguang hurriedly said: "Don't talk about Brother Yangguang, you are only a few months younger than me, so just call me Yangguang. Wei Wenwen, recruiting a few folks to help my orchard for a long time, it is more troublesome to find temporary ones every time."

"That's fine. From now on, I'll simply call you brother. Anyway, in my heart, you are like my own brother. It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now. Let's go and see with you."

Wei Liangping was squatting in the shade under the corridor, smoking a pipe, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he beckoned and said, "Come on, sit down."

After sitting down on the small wooden bench, Shen Yangguang said straight to the point: "I'm starting an orchard. I definitely can't handle such a big place by myself, so I want to find some people. Uncle Wei, look who grows in the village Land is a good player, and there are free ones recently, I want to recruit long-term ones."

Wei Liangping, who has received a lot of cigarettes and alcohol these days, is also willing to help: "This is a good thing. Is it the busy farming season? The villagers have nothing to do. It's just that the young people and laborers in the village have all gone out to work. The few remaining The young and the strong also have things to do at hand, and now the village has the most old and weak women and children, and I am afraid that it will not be able to recruit many people."

Shen Yangguang also knew that there were not many young people in the village now, so he was already mentally prepared. He followed Wei Liangping to the village committee, and the loudspeaker in the village rang after a while.

The village committee is also in the center of the village, just across the road from Wei Liangping's house. It was rebuilt from a few simple houses with a large yard.

In less than half an hour, several people came to the village committee one after another. As expected, none of the people who came were young and strong, all of them were women, and there was an old man in his 50s.

Fortunately, the women in the countryside are not as delicate as those in the city. Each of them can hold up half the sky, and they are also good farmers. In Shen Yangguang's hometown, many women are even stronger than men. This is because generations have worked in the fields honed out.

After waiting for a while, when no one came, Shen Yangguang looked at the six women and an old man in front of him and got up to explain the general situation, and then talked about the treatment: "3000 yuan per month, in addition Different bonuses are given out for performance, and each person has eight days of rest per month, which can be freely deployed. Of course, an application must be made in advance, otherwise there will be no one in the orchard after everyone rests together."

As soon as everyone heard about the salary, they chattered immediately: "4000 yuan a month, that's a lot, and it's almost the same as working in the south!"

"That's right, I thought it was 2000 yuan, but I didn't expect it to be so much!"

"That's right, I can't go home several times a year when I work outside. Now that I'm fine, I can take care of my family and earn so much money. Sunshine, my aunt did it to you!"

When the discussion died down, a woman under 30 years old asked: "This treatment is really good, but when we are busy with farming, eight days of rest a month is not enough at all. Can all the rest of the year be put together and deployed? Otherwise, there will be no time to take care of the land at home."

Shen Yangguang also knew this woman. She was her neighbor Wang Chunmei. Her husband worked outside the home all year round, and she took care of the elderly and children at home.

Just as Wang Chunmei raised a question, the rest of the people joined in, asking what to do when the farming season was busy.

Shen Yangguang had thought about this a long time ago, and immediately smiled and said, "I haven't finished talking yet? You guys are in a hurry to discuss it. During the busy farming season in May and October, everyone will have an extra ten days of rest. Eight days should have almost finished the work in the field, right? Of course, everyone can rest together during the busy farming months, after all, the crops in the field will not wait for everyone to take turns to mature."

When everyone applauded, Shen Yang said: "In addition, the Spring Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and other solar terms will arrange holidays for everyone according to the actual situation! And when the orchard is busy, everyone can also voluntarily work overtime. overtime pay."

The reason why so much rest time is given is because Shen Yangguang knows that these people have family members who work outside, and they have to take care of the length of the family. Let alone farming and farming, who can have nothing to do every day?

After giving so much rest, Shen Yangguang didn't care too much. If there were not enough manpower, he would just recruit more people. Anyway, he had the golden air flow in his hand, and the fruits he sold were all at sky-high prices. It's just a little drizzle.

Wang Chunmei was young and quick-witted, and after doing the calculation silently, she said pleasantly: "In this way, we have four months of rest every year, and we can also get twelve months' salary. In this way, it is comparable to working outside. Those who work part-time are much more cost-effective, and they can take care of the family at any time without delay, Sunshine, my sister-in-law has decided, and now I will go to work with you."

Several other women were older, all in their 40s and [-]s, and their brains were slower. After listening to Wang Chunmei's words, they were all happy to go to work immediately.

The old man who stayed silent all the time also said excitedly: "Although I am over 50 years old, I still have a lot of strength. Farm work is very simple!"

Shen Yangguang also recognized this person, his name was Liu Dihua. His son and daughter-in-law both worked in the county, and his grandson also went to school there. Usually, the old couple stayed at home as companions. Big, so a little anxious.

Shen Yangguang originally wanted to recruit people under the age of 40, but suddenly thought that after the construction team left, the orchard still needed a personal guard, so he said, "Uncle Liu, why don't you help me guard the orchard? The salary is also the same. 3000 yuan, although I don’t need to do physical work, but the working hours are longer, I live in the orchard at night, and I can go home to eat or do other things during the day, and just go to the garden when I have nothing to do.”

After listening to this, Liu Dihua seemed to be afraid of Shen Yangguang's repentance, so he quickly got up and held Shen Yangguang's hand and said, "Okay, okay! From today onwards, I will hand over my old bones to you!"

Shen Yangguang didn't dare to take his old bones, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Liu, don't get excited, just look at an orchard, it's not that serious, the orchard is now surrounded by walls, and there are people living there, so there won't be any thieves at night Xiao Mo went to make up his mind."

Shen Yangguang's orchard is in a remote village with tall walls. There will not be any robbers and bandits coming. At most, when the fruit is ripe, some petty thieves in the nearby village will steal some fruit to eat. If they see There are guards living at the gate, so he will definitely not take risks for a little appetite, so Liu Dihua only needs to live there at night with the lights on, and there will be no danger.

At the same time, the orchard has built a new gate with a width of [-] meters. Shen Yangguang will have more and more things to do in the future. It is impossible to open the gate early in the morning and close it at night. He is in charge.

As for the growing orchard in the future, it is really possible that some criminals will be attracted. At that time, it is enough to recruit some professional security guards. Liu Dihua only needs to be in charge of guarding the gate.
