Chapter 235: More than 60 tons of longan

The 27th day of the sixth lunar month, Monday.

At six o'clock in the morning, Deng Shirong got up, washed up, and rode his bicycle to Baiping Farm without even having time to make breakfast.

Of course, he doesn't make breakfast at home, but he still has to eat breakfast. He has stored a lot of food in the system space, which he can take out and eat at any time, so he won't go hungry.

Half an hour later, Deng Shirong arrived at Baiping Farm.

At this time, in the open space of the farm, more than a dozen workers were busy. They were all women. Their task was to simply trim the branches and leaves of the longans that were piled like a mountain in front of them to make the longans look more beautiful, and then put them into bamboo baskets.

Next to them, there were already twenty or thirty baskets of trimmed and packed longan.

Seeing Deng Shirong coming, the farm manager greeted him, "Comrade Deng, you're here!"

Deng Shirong parked his bike, looked at the scene in front of him, and said with emotion: "Captain, you guys are really fast!"

The farm manager smiled and said, "We don't have much on our farm, but we have a lot of people. As the great leader said, there is strength in numbers, and everything will be done faster."

Deng Shirong saw that many workers were still transporting longans down from the mountain, so he asked, "Manager, can we load the longans now?"

The manager nodded and said, "Yes, we can load the truck anytime."

Deng Shirong said: "Then start loading the truck!"

The manager responded and told other employees to start helping load the truck.

As an agricultural reclamation farm run by the autonomous region, Baiping Farm has fixed assets exceeding 10 million yuan, so it naturally has no shortage of medium-sized tractors, walk-behind tractors and cars.

Because the longan only needs to be pulled to the vicinity of the Tanlian loading and unloading station, there is no need to use a car. Just use a medium-sized tractor or a walk-behind tractor to pull it there.

With many people helping out, the truck was loaded quickly and the scale was also moved onto the truck.

Then, Deng Shirong greeted the manager and rode his bicycle in front to lead the way.

It was only a few hundred meters from here to the Tanlian pick-up and drop-off station. In less than five minutes, Deng Shirong brought the farm's tractor to the two mud brick houses he had rented a few days ago.

Next, the door was opened, and the farm workers first took down the scale, then those who were unloading the goods unloaded the goods, those who were weighing longans weighed longans, those who were keeping accounts kept accounts, and other workers helped to move the weighed longans into the mud brick house and put them away.

Everyone does their job and the efficiency is very high.

Deng Shirong watched from the side and only needed to check the scale and the accounts.

One hundred catties, one thousand catties, ten thousand catties... thirty thousand catties...

Starting at less than seven in the morning and ending at around ten in the morning, the farm delivered a total of 31,264 kilograms of Shixia longan.

With the farm's capabilities, if it works at full capacity, it would naturally be able to pick more than this many longans.

This is also in response to Deng Shirong's request. Only about 30,000 kilograms are picked a day. If more is picked, these two mud brick houses will not be able to store it, which would be a bit troublesome.

After all, if Deng Shirong wanted to put Longan into the system space, he had to find a time when no one was around. It was impossible to do this in public.

After checking the accounts, the farm worker in charge of bookkeeping said hello to Deng Shirong, then asked someone to take the scale and rode the tractor back to the farm.

When the longans were just transported over from the farm in the morning, the villagers living nearby came over to take a look out of curiosity, but there was nothing interesting to see in this kind of excitement, so the villagers just stayed here to watch for a while and then dispersed.

Now, there was no one around, and Deng Shirong had an idea, so he put all the longans that were piled up in the two mud brick houses into the system space.

After doing all this, Deng Shirong did not go home immediately, but stayed nearby and observed for almost two hours. After making sure that no one approached the two mud brick houses he rented, he rode away on his bicycle with peace of mind.

Unless someone is watching all the time, no one will pay attention to how the longan is transported away.

The next three days were all done by repeating the first day's operation.

Over the course of four days, Baiping Farm delivered a total of 126,837 kilograms of Shixia longan to Deng Shirong.

At this time, all the longans on the farm had been picked. According to the purchase agreement signed by both parties, the price of longans was 0.29 yuan per catty, and 126,837 catties came to 36,782.73 yuan.

Because Deng Shirong bought the more than 1,200 bamboo baskets on the farm, he had to add 1,000 yuan, which came to 37,782.73 yuan.

After Deng Shirong checked the total account with the farm's financial officer, he took out a bunch of bundled big unity notes from a sack he carried with him, counted out 35,782.7 yuan from them, handed them to the farm's financial officer and said, "I've already paid a deposit of 2,000 yuan. Here's 35,782.7 yuan. Can you count the money and see if it's correct?"

Although the farm finance staff was counting the money beside Deng Shirong just now, when it comes to money transactions, it must be counted several times. Especially for the financial staff, they must not be careless when it comes to money.

Therefore, the finance department took the money and counted it twice to confirm that the amount was correct. Then he smiled and said, "Comrade Deng, the amount is correct. I will take the money back to the farm first. I wish you a prosperous business."

"Thanks!"

After watching the people from the farm leave, Deng Shirong still implemented the previous strategy. After putting the longan into the system space, he stayed nearby and observed for an hour or two. When he found that no one was paying attention to this place, he rode away on his bicycle with peace of mind.

…

When I got home, it was already past one in the afternoon.

While Deng Shirong was sitting under the longan tree burning cigarettes, he asked his second son, "Yunheng, school is about to start for you, right? When are you going to go back to school?"

Deng Yunheng said, "School will start in more than ten days. I plan to go to Bobai in the next two days and then leave with Sister Song."

Deng Shirong also wanted to go to Beijing to sell longan, but he didn't plan to go with his second son.

On the one hand, if he travels with his second son and his friends, his system space will not be usable, which will cause him a lot of trouble on the road.

On the other hand, he didn't want his presence to ruin the atmosphere of his second son's outing. Without him as a parent, it didn't matter what they talked about or played, they just did whatever they wanted. But if he was the parent, they would definitely have some reservations when chatting.

Deng Shirong took a few puffs of his cigarette, put the pipe aside, and took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "This is your living expenses for the year. This year, you should stay in Beijing for the New Year like last year. Don't go back and forth during the Spring Festival."

Deng Yunheng took the money and said, "I see. I have made an appointment with those fellow Guangxi people in the school before. We will all stay in the school together for the Spring Festival this year."

Deng Shirong nodded and said, "It's good that you have made arrangements. It seems that your sister-in-law's younger sister Afang is about to give birth. I will go over and ask her. If she wants to go to the county town to give birth, then you can take them up there in a few days."

Deng Yunheng: "Okay."

…

Yangdipo Village.

Deng Changdong's home.

Ou Guofang sat under the pomelo tree at the door with her big belly, chatting with her cousin Ou Guohua who came to visit with her child in her arms.

Although the sun was at its hottest at this time, my parents-in-law and her husband did not rest. After coming back and having lunch, they went up the mountain to continue cultivating the orchard, planning to plant lychee trees and watermelons next year.

This is also what Naye Village and two or three nearby villages are busy with.

Ever since Jiugong's family had a bumper harvest of lychees and watermelons this year, nine out of ten people who knew the news wanted to follow suit. After all, that was several thousand dollars a year in profit. Which family in the countryside could resist such a great temptation?

As for my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, they all went to herd cattle.

Their family’s biggest income currently comes from raising cattle, so they must take good care of the cattle first.

At this time, Ou Guohua's daughter is almost three months old. Children of this month are easy to take care of and fun to play with.

Ou Guofang teased the child, then touched her big belly and said, "I don't know if the baby in my belly is a son or a daughter."

Ou Guohua smiled and said, "For the first child, it doesn't matter whether it's a son or a daughter. Look at Sister Ping, she also gave birth to a daughter, but her daughter Xiao Dong'er is now the little princess of their family. No matter whether it's grandpa or aunts and uncles, they all treat Xiao Dong'er like the apple of their eye."

Ou Guofang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Ping is a special case. Who in this area can compare to Jiugong? Jiugong doesn't have the concept of favoring boys over girls, and his children don't have this concept either. As the only third generation in their family, it's normal for Xiaodong'er to be favored."

"That's true."

Ou Guohua smiled and said, "However, I have a hunch that the baby in your belly should be a son. After all, among the three of us sisters, Sister Ping and I both gave birth to daughters, so the probability of you giving birth to another daughter is relatively low."

Ou Guofang touched her belly and said, "To be honest, I hope the first child I give birth to is also a daughter, so that the daughters of the three of us sisters can grow up playing together like us, how wonderful it would be!"

Just as the two sisters were chatting, a familiar voice came over: "What are you two sisters talking about? You look so happy!"

Ou Guofang and Ou Guohua looked in the direction of the voice and greeted him at the same time: "Jiu Gong!"

Deng Shirong looked at Ou Guofang, whose belly was frighteningly big, and asked, "Afang, are you about to give birth?"

Ou Guofang smiled and replied, "It's indeed coming soon. According to my mother-in-law's guess, the baby should be born in about ten days."

Deng Shirong said, "When I came back, your sister Ping asked me to ask you if you wanted to go to the county town to give birth to your child?"

Ou Guofang nodded and said, "Yes, my parents-in-law agree!"

After the three sisters got married, Pingjie and Ahua went to the county town to give birth to their children. They brought back a lot of common sense about childbirth from the professional midwives in the county town, which made her understand how great the risks of giving birth at home were. Naturally, she would go to the county town to give birth if she had the chance.

Deng Shirong hummed and said, "Okay, my Yunheng will go to school in a few days and will go to Bobai first. You can go with him then. Don't worry about food and accommodation, your sister Ping has arranged it for you!"

Ou Guofang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, thank you, Master Jiu. Then we will go up with Uncle Yunheng in two days."
