80s Taoism

After the factory was built, the machine was debugged, and the training on how to use the machine went smoothly, Zhang Youping began to worry.

"Where does the money for the tea go? I thought I could get a loan, so I invested all the money in the construction. Who knows that the loan will not come down?" Zhang Youping smoked vigorously.

"What's the rush, isn't brother Luo thinking of a way?" Liu Qiaoye comforted.

"Brother Luo may not be able to count on it." Zhang Youping shook his head.

Luo Changjun is not the number one leader, and he has no real power in his hands when he just took office. Although he was in charge of the tea industry development plan, he couldn't make up his mind at all and had to ask for instructions on everything.

"Father and mother, don't worry about the money, I have a box of money hidden there." Zhang Jiaohua suddenly put down the pen in his hand.

"What?" Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye exclaimed in unison.

"Money. I hid a box of money." Zhang Jiaohua dragged a box out from under the bed.

"When did you hide a box under your bed?" Liu Qiaoye was extremely surprised. When she was cleaning, she had never seen anything hidden under Zai Zai's bed. With such a big box, she is not blind. How can I not see it?

"Mother, if you can casually find out what our sailor has hidden, then I, as a sailor, will be in vain." Zhang Jiaohua said proudly.

"Where did this box come from? Didn't you steal someone else's box back?" Liu Qiaoye glanced outside the door and lowered her voice.

"Others can't enter the garden. The leopards are guarding it." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Meow!" Fat Cat yelled suddenly, apparently dissatisfied with being ignored by Zhang Jiaohua.

"This guy likes to fight for credit the most." Liu Qiaoye couldn't help giggling.

Zhang Youping said seriously, "Don't be careless, beggar. Tell me quickly, where did this box come from?"

"Uncle Rob bought the box for me. But he didn't let me tell others." Zhang Jiaohua snapped open the zipper, and then lifted the cover.

"Ouch, my mother!" Zhang Youping gasped, it was the first time he saw so much money.

"W-Where did this money come from?" Liu Qiaoye quickly ran over to close the door, his voice trembling.

There are hundreds of thousands of cash alone, and there are stacks of hundred-yuan bills that are not usually seen here. There are also many valuables. It's possible to add up to millions.

"Tell me, where did this come from?" Zhang Youping's expression also became very serious.

"Don't worry. Once I helped Uncle Rob solve a case..." Zhang Jiaohua explained how he got the money.

"You are really brave, you dare to ask for this money?" Liu Qiaoye's fingers pointed to Zhang Jiaohua's forehead.

Zhang Youping also wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Brother Luo is the same, how can you let beggars take this kind of money?"

"Didn't our family have difficulties at that time? Didn't he want to help us?" Liu Qiaoye said.

"But, what should we do with the money now?" Zhang Youping didn't dare to take the money to collect tea.

"Of course I take some of it out to collect tea leaves." Zhang Jiaohua didn't take it seriously.

Zhang Youping said angrily, "I don't dare to use your money to collect tea, this is stolen money."

"It's not dirty. You don't need these old ones, you use new ones." Zhang Jiaohua took out stacks of new old heads and handed them to Zhang Youping.

Liu Qiaoye chuckled, "You brat, you're doing something funny on purpose. According to me, since this money is the hard-earned money of those corrupt officials and ordinary people, we'll borrow it first, and when the tea factory earns money, we'll use the money to build roads."

A penny beats a hero. According to Zhang Youping's temperament, he would definitely not spend this money. Now it is the season of picking tea leaves. If there is not enough working capital, the tea factory will not be able to start work. Now the salaries of more than a dozen people give Zhang Youping a headache. If when it comes time to purchase tea leaves, there is no funds and the tea leaves cannot be collected, and all the money invested will be wasted.

The next day, Luo Changjun brought another piece of good news. The higher-ups had agreed to change the manufacturer of bamboo-tube black tea to Meizi'ao Tea Factory. It is officially announced that the bamboo tube black tea will officially break away from the Zijiang Tea Factory. Meishan Maojian, a product of Zijiang Tea Factory, also won the opportunity to participate in the evaluation abroad.

Although Zijiang Tea Factory no longer purchases tea from Xintian County, Zijiang Tea Factory has expanded its production this year and ordered a large amount of tea from several counties in Wuxi City, a prefecture-level city adjacent to Zijiang City. Feizhenglu is from Shiqihe County, Wuxi City. Shiqihe County is also a big tea county, and its output is almost the same as that of Xintian County. However, the purchase price is indeed lower than last year. This is also where Fei Zhenglu is very proud.

"The city tea factory has already announced that it will not take a piece of tea from Xintian County this year. Several leaders in County Y are also filled with righteous indignation. They hope that the tea factory in this county can win the battle and sweep away the prestige of the city tea factory." Luo Changjun said.

"Brother Luo, Meizi'ao Tea Factory is a private enterprise, while Xintian County Tea Factory is a state-owned enterprise. When the time comes to buy tea, don't let some unpleasant things happen." Zhang Youping was a little worried.

"Don't worry about that. The county is still counting on Jiaohua to renovate the tea farms in the county. And all the tea farms that have been transformed by Jiaohua, Jiaohua also owns shares. For the same price, Jiaohua naturally has the priority. You can also sign order contracts with each tea farm before the tea is picked. The county will vigorously protect the interests of the tea factories. As long as the order contract is signed, the tea farm must perform the contract under any circumstances. The county does not want two tea factories to compete viciously." Luo Changjun conveyed the spirit of the county.

The gardening field has villagers working in the gardening field every day. Some of the packages of Meiziao tea factory are made of pottery, some of them are made of wood, and the black tea in bamboo tubes is naturally made of bamboo tubes. Some of these materials need to be purchased, while the wooden and bamboo tubes are handmade by the villagers. As a result, a lot of labor is required. It doesn't take much effort to do these handicrafts, and all the old and young in the village can do it with a little practice. If you are stupid, there are simpler things to do. Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye are busy counting the number of pieces every day, and everyone's salary is calculated by piece.

In the past, during the slack season, many people liked to gather at Liu Baoyi's consignment point to play cards. Now Liu Baoyi's consignment point is not the time to buy things, no one goes there. They all went to the tea factory to do some work.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course, go to the tea factory to earn work points!"

...

Such conversations can be heard everywhere on the road.

It is not easy to earn some money in the countryside. There will be a lot of people rushing to do the work for five yuan a day. Those with slow hands and feet can only earn five or six yuan a day in the tea factory. The hands and feet are nimble, and it costs more than ten yuan at most. But in the countryside, people who don’t get sun or rain can earn more than 100 yuan a month, and there is nowhere to look for them with lanterns. Before Zhang Shunlin became a full-time employee, it was less than a hundred yuan a month, and he was like a dog in the village, and he was extremely arrogant.

Now Zhang Jiwang, an old man in his fifties and sixties, can earn two to three hundred a month. Zhang Jiwang is a high-income class in the village. Because he has a craft. Not only carpentry, but also carving. There are at least 200 yuan in January that can be carved on bamboo tubes. With this connection, Zhang Jiwang stopped smoking loose cigarettes and bought branded cigarettes.

Zhang Jiwang’s recent mood is full of joy, and he has to sing songs when he is doing his work: beside the ivory red table, ten bowls of sea vegetables are placed in the middle; sister invites you with chopsticks, Lang uses chopsticks to count, last year will lead you to this year...

"Uncle Jiwang, if we continue to do this, our Meizi'ao family will become ten thousand yuan." Zhang Shicai lost one eye and couldn't find a job in the factory, so he could only work as a cleaner in the factory. Hearing that tea is very popular, I plan to plant tea trees in a garden at home. His wife Ma Yinxiu didn't go out today either. The couple made some money last year, so they planned to do some farming at home.

"That's for sure. There are at least more than one hundred a month. If you are quicker, you can't beat two hundred. If you have craftsmanship, three or five hundred is nothing. It is not a problem to save one or two thousand yuan a year. In three to five years, there will be tens of thousands of households in the village." Zhang Jiwang said.

Although ten thousand yuan households are not uncommon these days, in Meiziao, ten thousand yuan households are still hard to find even with lanterns.

"Do you know? Now people in other villages are envious of us in Meizi'ao. Many people ask us if there are any young girls in Meizi'ao. I will tell you that I don't care about young people. I just care about Zhang Dayun. Zhang Dayun's family is so poor that mice are biting the wall. When his garden of hundreds of acres comes out, he must be a wealthy household in Meizi'ao." Although Zhang Jiwang was joking, he was telling the truth. As long as tea is still in the current situation in a few years, what Zhang Jiwang said is really possible. However, Meizi'ao Village alone may increase thousands of acres of tea farms this year. The entire Xintian County does not know how much area will be increased. By that time, will the tea market still be so good?

Zhang Benrui is also doing odd jobs in the tea factory now, "Uncle Ji Wang, do you still have apprentices?"

"What? You still want to learn carpentry from me when you're old? Don't even think about it, people with bad conduct will not be accepted." Zhang Jiwang also spoke very directly.

Zhang Benrui was very embarrassed. He really wanted to learn, but he couldn't do it when he was too old. "I want the dumb to follow you to learn carpentry."

"Isn't the dumb still in school? Why don't you go to school to learn carpentry from me? No, no, no, the dumb is so good with the beggar. If I take the dumb as an apprentice and don't let him go to school, the beggar won't scold me to death." Zhang Jiwang shook his head quickly.

"This, this. Really." Zhang Benrui was very annoyed. He really wanted the mute to learn the craft and earn money earlier.
