Xianyuan Farm
Chapter 435: The higher the virtue, the higher the evil
Uncle Azha is very efficient. He gathered some idle villagers in Honghu Village in just one meal.
Of course, the villagers cooperated so actively because of Gu Hongyu's face. Now the whole Honghu Village is almost developed by Gu Hongyu alone. Although the villagers are simple and even dull, they have many things in their hearts.
It's like a gentleman's friendship is as light as water, but when the other party is really in danger, they will help without hesitation.
That night, the orchard, which was previously only patrolled by patrol personnel, was bustling for a long time. They picked the fruits in the orchard with searchlights. Fortunately, everyone was familiar with the fruits, especially watermelons. Some villagers only needed to tap them twice to know the degree of their ripeness. Gu Hongyu admired this very much.
There is strength in numbers. In a short time, baskets of fruits were piled at the entrance of the orchard. According to the weight of the turnover boxes, the watermelons, pears, and apples must have exceeded 3,000 kilograms. It was not until Gu Hongyu called for a stop that everyone stopped their work.
"Xiao Gu, I think we should install street lights on both sides of the road in the orchard. Now the population in the village is large and mixed. You should strengthen the prevention of such a large orchard!" After finishing his work, Uncle Azha looked at the situation around the orchard and made suggestions with a smile.
Gu Hongyu distributed cigarettes to the villagers, and the women comrades took the fruits and ate them by themselves. Listening to Uncle Azha's words, Gu Hongyu turned around and replied: "It was too hasty when it was built. Now the weather temperature has risen. I will plan it carefully after the summer is over."
"Boss Xiao Gu, I think we should install fences on both sides of the road in the orchard. In this way, the fruits in the orchard will be kept from being stolen. Isn't it easy for you to manage them at ordinary times?" An auntie was chewing pears and making suggestions.
The orchard in the village is now a favorite place for tourists. Especially some young men and women who talk about love and come out to play in the name of love have a special liking for this large area of orchards that are rare in the desert. They can also do what they love in it. The orchard can be said to provide them with a good place.
But there are people who really want to fish in troubled waters when they enter the orchard at night. The high price of fruits in the orchard is the driving force for these people to go there at night. Secondly, the fruits in the orchard taste different. It is particularly delicious and many people can resist the temptation of unsuccessful fruits.
Not allowing tourists to enter the orchard at night seems inhumane and wastes such a good leisure time in the orchard, but wantonly allowing tourists to enter the orchard adds a burden to management.
Gu Hongyu also considered the idea of building fences on both sides of the road, but people who enter the orchard at night will not just walk along the road. If so, they might as well walk along the viewing corridor by the lake.
The construction there is about to come to an end. There are benches on both sides of the corridor every section of the road for tired tourists to rest. If fences are installed on both sides of the road in the orchard, wouldn’t it mean that tourists will go to the fruit trees to gather, chat and have many activities? For humane considerations, Gu Hongyu rejected this plan.
When the villager aunt talked about this, Gu Hongyu just smiled to express his gratitude, but immediately a light bulb flashed in his mind. There are still too few high-tech things in Honghu Village now. Cameras can be installed on both sides of the road in the orchard!
The cameras in the area where fruits are produced are used for all-round monitoring, while other places only monitor the connection between the orchard and the road. Usually, a notice is erected outside the orchard to explain which places in the orchard cannot be visited and where they can stay. If you do something illegal and disorderly in the orchard and are caught by the camera, you will be caught red-handed.
When Gu Hongyu said this idea, some people still didn't understand. Most of them didn't know what the cameras were used for, let alone that they could take pictures of people entering the orchard at night.
After a long explanation, everyone finally understood. Uncle Aza sighed repeatedly: "I really can't keep up with the times when I'm old!"
"Science is developing so fast now"
"Fortunately, our Honghu Village is also developing, otherwise we will be left behind by society and become a forgotten community in the new era."
""
Everyone was feeling sentimental and rejoicing that Honghu Village will not be left behind by society, and the people of Honghu Village will catch up with it with even higher enthusiasm.
It was late at night, and the orchard fell into darkness again. But some places in Honghu Village were still very lively ⊥ like the Folk Customs Street, where a night market has spontaneously formed, and even at one or two o'clock in the morning, there were bright lights and people.
The grassland near the old Gu Hongyu wooden house has now become a place for camping, and there are many bonfire parties there. Taking advantage of this bonfire party, many people who know each other and don't know each other are closer. There are also several couples among them, which is the charm of traveling.
All opportunities are there, just look at whether you are ready!
However, these have nothing to do with Gu Hongyu for the time being. After returning home from the orchard, he served Mei Ning diligently, and then entered the space to enjoy the peace there. He read some medical books and the memories were particularly deep in his head.
Every time Gu Hongyu went to bed, he would fall asleep as soon as he felt sleepy. Every time he woke up, it was a natural reaction of his biological clock. He looked at the hazy sky outside the house, stretched his body and started a new day.
After walking the dog and having breakfast, Gu Hongyu walked towards the orchard. Today, he wanted to go to the orchard to see with his own eyes whether there were still those "scalpers". He wanted to see how those people cracked this trick.
At 8:30 in the morning, there were already many tourists in the orchard.
In fact, many smart tourists thought that they could enter the orchard without queuing early in the morning, and they could also pick the freshest fruits. Why not?
Unexpectedly, many smart people thought so, so the orchard was already crowded early in the morning.
When Gu Hongyu arrived at the entrance of the orchard, fortunately, no one started queuing. Many tourists saw the fruits piled on the other side of the entrance and hurried forward to inquire. When they learned that this was specially prepared by the orchard for tourists in a hurry, they immediately praised this behavior.
Some people checked the fruits and found that the quality of the picked fruits was quite good, so they simply did not enter the orchard to pick them, and bought ready-made fruits at the entrance.
The employees of the orchard immediately became busy, weighing the fruits selected by tourists while calculating the amount. The scene was lively. The voices of conversations and inquiries between buyers and sellers have set off the atmosphere here.
"Xiao Gu, this shouldn't give people a chance to take advantage of us, right?" Uncle Azha, who was also thinking about things here, came to the orchard and asked Gu Hongyu as he approached him.
"Uncle is here too. I just arrived too. From now on, there is no problem. I don't know any of those people yesterday." Gu Hongyu replied indifferently.
"Haha. It would be a waste of time to ask them to come again." Uncle Azha said affirmatively: "You see, the tourists are in urgent need of something, which is nothing more than the lack of ready-made fruits. We picked so many fruits last night, and it still takes a lot of tourists to digest them."
"I hope so. Those scalpers had better not fall into my hands. I will make him look bad then!" Gu Hongyu was angry when he thought of those people tarnishing the image of Honghu Village. Although this matter was actually the fault of the orchard, their behavior was too bad.
These new "scalpers" are now in a state of disrepair in Honghu Village, and there are so many employment issues. As long as they are willing to work hard and can't make money, they have to take such crooked ways. Anyone who thinks of it would want to give them a beating.
After waiting for half an hour, the situation in the orchard was normal. Gu Hongyu and Uncle Azha were also very satisfied with the situation here, but they were a little puzzled. Are these scalpers really well-informed? Did they not come today after knowing the village's countermeasures, or did they quietly retreat when they saw the pile of fruits next to the entrance of the orchard?
I'm too lazy to think about it. Anyway, the problem of these guys not coming to the orchard is equivalent to being solved, so let's let them go for now!
I was thinking this way. When Gu Hongyu and Uncle Azha were about to return together, several people went to the entrance of the orchard, three men, two of whom were wearing T-shirts and casual pants, and the other man looked much more wretched. He was wearing a shirt with almost all buttons unbuttoned, his hair was greasy and messy like a chicken coop, he had a frown on his face, and he was wearing a pair of flip-flops, he looked sloppy and not serious.
There was also a middle-aged woman with them. The wretched man was talking to the woman, "Xu's eldest sister, you made the most money yesterday, what's the point of making so much money, there's only one girl in the family, she will be someone else's when she grows up, why do you have to work so hard!"
"Gan Lao Er, what are you talking about, just put away your bad heart, my family's affairs have nothing to do with you, you don't have to worry about it!" The woman called Xu's eldest sister responded sharply.
The wretched man smiled indifferently and looked even more wretched: "Xu's eldest sister, I, Gan Laoer, am single now. We are also making money outside. How about you give me your daughter and I will raise her?"
"Gan Laoer, keep your mouth shut. What's wrong with me making money with you? You want to take advantage of me. I tell you again that there is no way. There is no window!" Widow Xu still responded firmly.
Gan Laoer and Widow Xu are actually from Qingzhen. Their village is worse than the former Honghu Village. Especially the man of Widow Xu's family died. Not only did she have children, but she also had an old man. In fact, it was easy for a woman in her thirties to find someone to marry, but many men only agreed to take their daughters with them. The old people would never accept it. Some even disliked her daughter as long as Widow Xu was alone.
Although poor, Widow Xu lived with integrity. She thought her family was OK, and by chance she went to school for a few years, and learned some basic ethics. In her heart, she could not abandon her daughter and the elderly in her husband's family.
When she had a husband, she was gentle and virtuous, but after her husband died unexpectedly, her whole personality became particularly fierce. It was this kind of character that protected her family from being bullied like a protective film, and it was this kind of character that supported a family without heavy labor.
However, the harsh living environment was about to crush Widow Xu. This time she came to Honghu Village because she heard Gan Laoer from the same village say that there was a way to make money here, so she took the risk to come with them. But after coming here and knowing what Gan Laoer and his people were doing, Widow Xu regretted it a little.
However, thinking of her children and the elderly at home, Widow Xu gritted her teeth and persevered. In her heart, there was no need to do such a shameful thing, but life had taught her to bow to reality. Although she was looked down upon by others, when she earned more than 2,000 yuan in the past two days, Widow Xu cried loudly in her quilt in the middle of the night.
However, this good thing didn't last long. Today, when Widow Xu followed the ruffians from the village of Gan Laoer and his third brother to the orchard, she found something wrong. The entrance of the orchard was filled with several thousand kilograms of various fruits. There was no loophole for them to exploit.
According to Widow Xu's thoughts, she should be able to ease the family's financial situation with the two thousand yuan she earned, but Gan Laoer didn't know that after discussing with the other two ruffians from the same village, he went to Widow Xu for money.
Widow Xu was forced to resist. She looked around and kept three hundred yuan and gave the remaining sixteen thousand to Gan Laoer. However, she always felt something was wrong in her heart. She was annoyed and quarreled after Gan Laoer teased her.
"Brother Gan, Widow Xu, stop quarreling now. If you have anything to say, go back and talk!" One of the two people in front persuaded.
This was very effective. Seeing the tourists coming and going in the orchard, the two immediately stopped quarreling.
The two people in front walked to the fruit vendor, and one of them asked, "Are the fruits you picked the same price?"
"Yes, the fruits picked by yourself and those we picked are all the same price. Do you want to buy them?" asked the orchard staff.
Gan Laoer looked at the fruits in front of him and wrinkled his nose: "Brother, how many kilograms of fruits are there?"
"There are about more than a thousand kilograms!" Three thousand kilograms of fruits were enough for Gu Hongyu, but they never expected the enthusiasm of tourists. You bought a few kilograms and I bought a few kilograms. The fruits disappeared at this speed.
More than a thousand kilograms of fruits Gan Laoer and his friends still didn't have so much money. Several people pulled Xu Gufu together and continued to discuss: "We dead people only have 7,000 or 8,000 yuan in our hands. At most, we can buy 800 kilograms of fruits. What do you think?"
It turned out that they had made up their minds to eat all the ready-picked fruits and resell them at a high price. This is also a profitable business, but now the lack of funds makes them headache.
Xu Gufu was forced to join the gang, and now they can only think together. Her brain turned faster than several grown men and she immediately came up with a plan: "Why don't we just sell apples and pears? That way we'll have enough money. And even if the orchard wants to pick more fruits, it will take more time than watermelons. We can definitely sell them at a high price!"
"This is a good idea!"
"Ms. Xu is smart"
