Chapter 845 845 Cold and Thoughtful

Chapter 845 845. Cold and thoughtful

It was late at night in October, and the temperature had dropped. Old Mrs. Zhou sat by the woods, and her two layers of coat could not stop the gradually seeping chill.

She was old and sleepy. It was tiring to carry a hoe to dig sweet potatoes. Now she was getting colder and colder. The colder she sat, the more sleepy she felt.

In front, not only were the lights on, but the two drivers were still talking and laughing, holding a bowl of hot loofah and egg drop soup in their hands.

The loofah was smooth and tender, and the eggs were fresh and fragrant. You could smell the oily aroma from a distance. Old Mrs. Zhou was indignant and very uncomfortable.

This old Song family! Why are they so rich that there are people picking vegetables in the middle of the night?

Looking at the baskets of vegetables, they were neatly packed and clean, and they were particularly tempting in the white plastic baskets. Old Mrs. Zhou instantly forgot about the sweet potatoes.

How much can sweet potatoes be worth!

It has to be these vegetables. Humph, the old Song family secretly sells these vegetables in the vegetable market. The wholesale price is estimated to be one or two yuan per pound!

She was eager to move. Seeing that the basket of a car in front was piled high and full, and the driver was sitting there smoking and chatting, she couldn't help but move over there with a hoe...

But who knew that as soon as she touched the car door, her scalp felt numb for some reason. Old Mrs. Zhou subconsciously turned her head and saw that in the dark shadow, the three local dogs responsible for guarding the factory were grinning and staring at her fiercely!

"Woo..."

It was the five, six, and seven treasures!

They have been guarding the factory for a month or two, but they have not made any progress. They are not happy in their hearts!

Now that Old Mrs. Zhou appeared in the middle of the night, the dog's nose knew that she was not a good person. At this moment, she learned to intimidate like the other treasures, and she was particularly terrible!

"Oh my God!"

The shadow of the king was still in Old Mrs. Zhou's heart. How could she know that the dogs of Song Tan's family were everywhere now!

At this moment, the hoe was thrown away, and the old lady ran down the mountain with an agile posture that was not like that of an elderly person!

There was a commotion on the mountain, and Xin Jun looked at the shadows below the mountain with a notebook in his arms, but smiled and said nothing.

He squatted down and patted the heads of the three treasures in turn as rewards: "Well done!"

Then he said meaningfully: "Let Qiao Qiao bring you delicious food tomorrow. There are people who want every stem and leaf of the vegetables on our mountain, and you have to keep an eye on them!"

"After all, they are all high-priced vegetables that have been signed. The requirements in the contract are strict and there is no room for any mistakes."

"If you find someone stealing vegetables again, no matter whether you know them or not, just bite them! After biting them, we will pay for the medical expenses, and the other party will have to pay for the loss of work, liquidated damages, and compensation for the dishes."

The few treasures were smart and clever. Although they didn't understand, they knew the general meaning. At this moment, they shouted particularly vigorously:

"Woof woof woof!"

As if they were responding to his words.

They are now seven or eight months old, with shiny hair and strong bodies. Normally, he was just foolish and playful, but now he showed his fierceness in response to Xin Jun's words. His ferocious teeth flashed coldly under the light, as if he could bite off a person's arms and legs with just one mouthful!

So fierce!

In the vegetable garden, someone moved the bench uncomfortably, which attracted Li Lanhua next to him to take a curious look.

…

This was just a minor incident. Xin Jun told Song Tan about it the next morning. Before she could react, she heard Zhang Yanping next to her look irritable:

"This old woman, who steals and robs people in the village every day, wants to touch our vegetables? No way!"

He rubbed his hands and said, "No, I have to tell everyone about the surveillance on the mountain again!"

Xin Jun smiled, "Actually, she came at a good time."

The vegetables on the mountain are monopolized by Boss Chang. They can be sold at a high price of 40 yuan per catty. It takes seven hours to drive there. Because there is no cold storage or pre-cooling equipment on the mountain, he needs to arrange a cold chain transport vehicle. It can be seen that the vegetables are scarce and important.

But... the villagers don't recognize it!

It is human nature to take advantage. Everyone picks the juicy vegetables every day. At first, they dare not touch them when they heard the high price, but the vegetables in the vegetable field are endless, today this field, tomorrow that field.

Just after cutting the leek, it grew another inch after three days...

In this familiar state of the vegetable field, someone soon had a little idea.

There was no other meaning, just pick a handful of green vegetables to take home! You can cook noodles in the morning.

To be fair, this behavior is really not a big deal in the village. Sometimes they pass by other people's vegetable fields and see that the green vegetables are growing well, and they can pull a few back with a shout.

But Song Tan's family is not like that.

Xin Jun is very careful. From the beginning, someone half-jokingly asked them to pick two kilograms to taste it, and he was alert in his heart.

However, this matter was handed over to himself and Zhang Yanping. It happened that he was on night shift for the past half month, so he didn't disturb Song Tan first.

But he was still worried in his heart: What if a few of the children smelled that someone else had hidden vegetables on him? They were fellow villagers, how could they not hurt their feelings and shock everyone?

In this case, Old Lady Zhou was simply a god sent from heaven!

Without any effort, everyone was shocked. I can't say in the long run, but in the short term, everyone will take this job seriously.

Alas, this is the difficulty of doing business in the village.

But then again, everything has its pros and cons. If outsiders are doing business in full swing in their own village, and people from the same village unite to mess around, that would be a worse thing!

In just a few moments, Xin Jun had already gone through the matter from beginning to end, while Zhang Yanping was still gearing up——

"We can't get used to everyone's mentality."

"Our wages are not low, and the food has never been bad! A few days ago, I was thinking about how to increase wages after the temperature cools down. If someone opens this hole, people in the same village will not dare to ask for help in the future."

After all, it would be fine if they were ordinary crops, but who could control it after tasting the fruits and vegetables of Tantan's family?

This risk cannot be taken.

Song Tan was extremely satisfied: Teacher Xin Jun was so thoughtful when using it for more than one person. In comparison, the night shift fee of only 1,000 yuan was really worth it!

You must give out more year-end bonuses during the New Year.

As for the issues he was worried about, Song Tan was actually not too afraid.

——Once you catch it, just don’t use it!

And don’t forget, every household in the village is still waiting for grafting cuttings of their fruit trees and radish seedlings planted in the ground.

Without her to connect the dots, even if their radish tastes better than before, who in business might not be a human being? Who can offer a high price for nothing?

The reason why I gave it to Miaozi was because of the friendship between my fellow villagers, and I also wanted to let them taste the sweetness first, and then restrain myself.

But it was too cold to say this. So I’d better hide it from my parents first.

Update two, good night. Mrs. Zhou is a fun-loving person and is only used to pave the way for the plot that will happen a long time later. There is no need to worry at all.
