"Of course, we will continue to grow various fruits and vegetables."
"Keep planting," Gao Tian nodded as if he understood, said goodbye again, walked two meters forward, and then turned back once more.
"What's wrong?" Xu An happened to see Gao Tian turn around again and asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"
"Well, I have another question for you, Mr. Xu." This time, Gao Tian asked directly, "Mr. Xu, what are your plans for dealing with those cauliflowers? Are you planning to pick them and take them to the shop, or do you have other plans? No, I meant to ask, if you plan to pick them, do you need any help?"
"We do plan to organize people to pick the fruit tomorrow." Xu An nodded and then asked, "Do you want to come and work as a temporary worker?"
"Is that alright?" Gao Tian added, "It's not just me, others have the same idea. Many people have farmed for half their lives, and now that they've suddenly stopped, they're idle and don't know what to do. If you need manpower, Mr. Xu, we can all come and work."
oh.!
Xu An was taken aback at first, then his eyes lit up.
Now I own all these greenhouses; I have to harvest the produce, cultivate the land, plant the crops, water and fertilize, and regularly deworm them.
With so much work to do, it's impossible for me to roll up my sleeves and work myself to the bone; I'll definitely need to hire experienced farmers to do the work.
Speaking of skilled workers, how many people are more familiar with farming than the previous owners of these greenhouses? Every single one of them has more than four or five years of experience!
Seeing that Xu An hadn't replied for a while, Gao Tian realized that his question had been a bit too abrupt, and quickly tried to save face for both of them: "Ah, it's okay if it's inconvenient. I took the liberty of asking on their behalf. We don't know their specific thoughts yet."
"I think Xiao Gao's suggestion is good. Anzi, if you need more manpower, you can consider them," Aunt Hong said, giving Gao Tian a helping hand.
“I also think this is a good suggestion. Xiao Gao, could you help me count how many people are willing to continue doing this job? It’s just that this time it’s not for themselves, but for the monthly salary.” Xu An nodded to Gao Tian and smiled, “Can you do me this favor?”
"Sure, no problem! Can I send a message to Mr. Xu after I've checked the situation?"
"sure."
After exchanging contact information, Gao Tian bid farewell to Xu An and the other person once again, this time leaving without looking back.
Watching Gao Tian's departing figure, Aunt Hong chattered on and on to Xu An about Gao Tian: "This kid is actually quite good. He's educated, hardworking, and has been working with his uncle for over three years. He's just as good at tending the crops as we are."
"That's definitely a promising young man. He not only knows how to manage crops, but he also gets along well with other growers and is considerate of others. Let's give him a try leading the cauliflower harvest this time and see if he can handle it."
Xu An also looked in the direction Gao Tian had left, a hint of expectation rising in his eyes.

"Come on, come over here. Everyone, don't rush, line up! Choose one of the three, you can only check one!"
Staff members stood behind a long table made up of two square tables, patiently maintaining order and instructing residents on how to vote.
In the middle of the line, an older woman quickly peeked out, glanced at the person at the front of the line, then withdrew, patted the person in front of her on the shoulder, and started chatting with them familiarly.
"Old Zheng, which supplier are you planning to choose? Harvest Farm is a large enterprise in Haishi, Jinxiu Hotel is an established brand, and Xu's Catering is currently very popular. They're all quite good, it's really giving me a headache."
"What's there to worry about? I've already made up my mind, I'll choose Xu's Catering!" The old man calmly gave his answer.
"You're so decisive! Tell me what you're thinking, so I can take a look!" the older woman asked quickly.
"Hey, didn't you see the news on the local TV station in Shanghai the other day?"
"I've seen it, what does that have to do with this?"
"How can it not be related? It's very related!" The old man smiled smugly and began to explain to the old woman, "Xu's Catering has partnered with the Shanghai Disabled Persons' Federation and recruited more than ten members from the Federation."
If more people choose Xu's Catering, the business of Xu's Catering will grow, and then we'll recruit more and more people. Choosing Xu's Catering is doing good deeds!
“That makes sense, but Xu’s Catering has only been established for less than half a year. Compared with the other two, it’s not reassuring.” The woman was still troubled and had doubts.
"Although it's been established for a short time, the business is quite large, and branches have been opened in surrounding cities."
"And didn't you hear what the three pilot communities in the south said? Of the three companies, Xu's Catering's boxed meals have the largest portions, the most balanced nutrition, and the taste is comparable to the other two."
"What you said seems to make some sense. Let me think about it some more," the woman muttered a couple of times before falling into deep thought.
The line quickly reached the two people. At the staff's invitation, the old man in front of them picked up a pen without hesitation and drew a big checkmark on the ballot, then turned and left. The old woman became the person at the very front of the line.
Finally, the woman's hand, holding the pen, put a checkmark after the four characters "Xu's Catering".
