Chapter 240 236: The weather is cold and the heart is warm
Several salesmen recruited by Li Guanping and his wife broke their legs, but the effect was minimal.
No way, the two had no choice but to find Wang Tianxiao and ask him to think about it.
Wang Tianxiao just gave them a suggestion last time, but because he was busy with trivial matters, he didn’t have time to pay attention later.
I didn’t expect that after so long, it still stayed in place.
He just came to see the production of goat milk today, and then thought about a detailed and practical method.
Li Guanping is not Zhang Wenyuan.
He has no courage, no insight, and lacks the ability to draw inferences from one instance.
And there are no resources.
It is mainly due to Wang Tianxiao’s support and help that he can have a little achievement now.
Therefore, there is nothing strange about Wang Tianxiao not doing a good job with him, just cultivate and develop slowly.
Not everyone has a good background like Zhang Wenyuan.
After looking in the sheepfold for a long time, and wandering outside for a long time, Wang Tianxiao already had an idea in his mind.
Leaving his mother-in-law’s house, he went directly to the city, first to a packing factory.
I commissioned them to design fresh milk packaging some time ago, and it is probably about the same.
After arriving, the person in charge of the factory took out some designed boxes and bags. Wang Tianxiao thought the appearance was okay, but when he asked how to keep fresh, the people in the factory couldn’t help it.
They used to do all ready-fit and they sold out quickly.
When it comes to keeping fresh, it is really a blind spot.
Wang Tianxiao was a little disappointed. This is already the largest packaging factory in the city. If they can’t solve this problem, they can only go to those places that specialize in milk production to learn from it.
When he was in a difficult period, someone suddenly raised his mouth.
“Boss Wang, if you want to find that kind of craftsmanship that can keep fresh, why don’t you go to the vinegar factory to have a look?”
Huh.
Wang Tianxiao’s eyes lit up, and he wished he could hug that person and kiss him.
Why didn’t I think of this? It seems that people still have dead ends in their thinking.
The vinegar factory in Qingcheng has been around for 50 or 60 years. It is an authentic grain vinegar factory.
Later, it seemed that it closed down because of the high cost or some other reason.
Wang Tianxiao felt it was a pity.
Since the closure of this vinegar factory, Wang Tianxiao has never eaten such authentic vinegar. When eating vinegar from other places, he always feels that it is just pure sour, not sour with fragrance.
The cold dishes have lost the taste of the past.
The reason why Wang Tianxiao came here is because in this era, the vinegar factory sold a kind of vinegar in bags.
Since they can seal the vinegar in bags, it proves that they must have a way to keep it fresh.
Now I just want to find someone, Lala’s relationship with the vinegar factory.
There is no doubt that Zhang Wenyuan has this role.
With the help of Zhang Wenyuan, Wang Tianxiao got acquainted with the director of the vinegar factory, and then found out that they used a vacuum packaging process.
Let the air in the vinegar be sucked out, and then heat-seal. The whole process is automated and does not require much human effort.
Although no other preservatives are added, this kind of packaging will not last for a long time, but at least it can guarantee that the vinegar will not deteriorate within three months. Except for the deterioration caused by the lax sealing of the bag, there have been no complaints about other cases of deterioration.
instructions are totally doable.
Wang Tianxiao observed the equipment on the spot and found that fresh milk was very suitable for him.
Two bags can be made into the same size, and the material can be exactly the same.
This machine can be used completely.
After understanding, the machine was bought from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and a single set was said to cost 60,000 yuan. At that time, I thought that one set might not be able to meet the needs, so I bought two sets.
I’m using one set now, and another set is still in the warehouse.
Wang Tianxiao quickly said that he could transfer it to himself.
The director of the factory was very willing. After he bought two sets, he found that the daily production volume was less than two sets, and one set was enough.
Putting such a big thing in the warehouse not only takes up space but also takes up funds. Every time I see the inventory, I feel depressed.
Now there is a good opportunity to transfer, wish for it.
After discussion, Wang Tianxiao bought this all-in-one machine with box sealing and inkjet printing for 55,000 yuan.
The extra 5,000 yuan is for travel expenses and labor expenses for others.
If you buy one from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the price will definitely not be less than 60,000, plus shipping and tax, and the cost of manual tossing before and after, it will be far more than 55,000.
This is the convenience of being with others.
Because the cooperation with the factory manager is very pleasant, the factory manager also specially sent the equipment technicians in the factory to install and debug the equipment for Wang Tianxiao. Personnel, he will be invited back with a high salary to be responsible for future operation and maintenance.
The equipment is placed near the sheepfold of the mother-in-law’s house, and a large warehouse is newly built.
The surrounding area of the warehouse is not only painted very beautifully, but also specially wrapped the walls with hard plastic, and the top is covered with a roof and wrapped with plastic paper.
The purpose is to make the working environment as clean and tidy as possible.
After all, it is something to eat, and the environment is not good. He has no face to produce and sell it to others.
This kind of environment is certainly not comparable to the clean rooms of food production enterprises in later generations, but considering the restrictions and limitations of the times, it is already beyond the consideration of many people countless times.
Just look at the vinegar factory, and you will know that there is basically no sense of cleanliness in it.
If there were not many cats in the factory, it is estimated that the mice could run around.
Wang Tianxiao wants to make money, but he will not make black-hearted money. This is the bottom line and will never be lowered.
Wang Tianxiao’s behavior was completely incomprehensible to the family members of his mother-in-law. Everyone grew up in a very casual environment and lived without such awareness at all.
Wang Tianxiao repeatedly told them the principles of food safety and the possible impact on others.
They still didn’t know much about it, but because they had enough trust in Wang Tianxiao, they accepted it.
The bags used to pack fresh milk are those produced by the packaging factory. The vinegar factory has also used them for a long time, and the quality of the plastic bags is not bad. However, after Wang Tianxiao came back from the purchase, he had to check each bag carefully to ensure that there were no mistakes.
It is not easy to mix and run in. The temperature of the new machine is always unstable at the beginning, either the mouth of the bag is burned, or it is not sealed tightly.
After debugging for about a month, it was finally done and a product that met the requirements was produced.
After the finished product came out, Wang Tianxiao asked Li Guanping to arrange someone to sell it, and the effect really improved a lot.
When people saw the exquisite packaging of goat milk, their trust increased a lot, and Wang Tianxiao improved his marketing idea. First, he gave out a bag for free to those who were interested, so that they could try the taste and buy it if they felt the need.
Wang Tianxiao knows that this kind of offline promotion is actually limited in effect, but the current milk production is like this, as long as the output balance can be achieved, there is no need to expand larger sales channels.
When his sheep farm is up, he will try a more advanced marketing model with a wider coverage.
.
Before the house was built, Zhang Yufeng lived in the mountains.
At first, she planned to live in it, and then went down after the new house was built, but after living in it for more than a month, she told Wang Tianxiao that she felt that living in the mountains was much more comfortable than down here.
Wang Tianxiao said that’s fine, he can live in the mountains, and he doesn’t have to worry about eating and drinking anyway.
As a result, Zhang Yufeng said that Xiaozhu was still young and had no one to take care of her, so she must wait until she grew up.
Wang Tianxiao said that’s fine too. If you want to live, you can wait for the weekend to come, or you can move here when Xiaozhu gets older.
Zhang Yufeng’s entanglement is normal.
Just like in the previous life, Wang Tianxiao has always heard from his son Wang Peng that he would like to take a good trip when he is resting, but until Wang Tianxiao died, Wang Peng did not have such an opportunity.
It’s always work, endless work.
People are involuntary, and there is no way to get everything they want.
The station has become very lively now.
Nearly 200 people work in the field every day. Because there are too many people, the original kitchen obviously does not meet the requirements. Wang Tianxiao built a canteen on the west side and hired two cooks to cook for everyone.
He still pays meals.
Everyone can work hard only when they have a full stomach. If they don’t include meals, it will be inconvenient for them to go home at noon, so they will definitely bring some steamed buns and eat them with pickles and boiled water.
Wang Tianxiao was also equipped with this kind of equipment when he was working outside in his previous life.
The originally bad stomach was directly turned into chronic gastritis by him, and it hurt to death before it was cold and rainy.
If you can give everyone some good benefits, then give it.
Money, you can spend what you can earn, and it’s not a waste of money.
However, what he didn’t expect was that it was not human beings but water that affected his continuation of such almost charitable behavior.
Originally, there were only a few people at the station, so Liu Yuan and the others mainly relied on Liu Yuan and the others to lead the mules to the ditch for transportation.
But now that there are so many people, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on mules to meet the requirements without stopping by dozens of mules.
There was no other way, so he had to go to Liu Jiqing, the son of the village chief, and asked him to use a tractor to deliver water every day, but the tractor’s horsepower was limited, so it could only be delivered halfway each time, and many people still had to carry the water to the station and pour it into the water tower.
Such efficiency is too low.
Seeing that it is the end of September, if this problem cannot be solved, and the weather cools down, then nothing can be done.
After repeated thinking, Wang Tianxiao is still ready to implement a bold idea.
He is going to pump water from the mountain to the mountainside.
When he assumed the wires, he thought about this problem, so the voltage buried enough space.
I originally wanted to continue to be stable and stable, but now it looks like this, not only is it difficult for people to drink water, it has to be solved quickly, and many new medicinal seedlings prefer to be wet, and they need to be irrigated when they are planted in the ground, otherwise it is impossible Grow well.
No matter how you look at it, there must be a lot of water.
In the past few days, Wang Tianxiao personally took Wu Wenhua to the valley to check the terrain, trying to find a place with a higher water level and easier access to water.
It is about 100 meters from the valley to the station, and the groundwater level on the Loess Plateau is already low, making it even more difficult to get water.
People here in the early years… that is, now, every household has a well, and the shallowest one has to be drilled to 40 meters away to get water.
Unlike many places in the south, if you shovel it down with a shovel, water will come out.
So the farmers in Qingcheng never watered the land, and they all depended on the harvest.
If it rains, the harvest will be better. If it does not rain, the harvest will be poor.
But no matter how bad it is, it is much better than watering, because the cost of watering may be higher than the entire harvest.
Because of this, when many places began to get rich and become well-off, people in Qingcheng were still worrying about food and clothing.
Wang Tianxiao was still worrying about eating until around 1998 in his last life.
There is no food growing in the field, and the three children in the family, the two young men may have eaten it.
I have to work hard to sell eggs to earn some money, and I have to pay school fees for my children. I can only save some money to buy some food every time. I can’t buy too much, otherwise I will have to spend my limited money. If I spend all of it, I will have nothing to do. capital.
There is no water on the mountain. If you want water, you need to get it from the bottom of the mountain.
Combining the depth of groundwater, the length of the water to be sent from the bottom of the mountain to the station must be close to 200 meters.
He also visited the agricultural machinery market in the city, and found that the water pump with the largest lift was only about 50 meters.
If the water is to be sent up, it needs to be raised twice in the middle.
Wang Tianxiao didn’t know much about this industry, so he asked his elder brother-in-law to find out in the provincial capital, and found a water pump with a lift of 100 meters, but the price was a bit expensive.
But Wang Tianxiao is not short of money now.
The business of the prefabrication factory and brick and tile factory is unprecedentedly busy. According to marketing and profits, he can distribute hundreds of thousands of dividends in just one month.
No panic at all.
Although he is still riding a motorcycle, eating and drinking water with the workers, it seems very ordinary, but in fact, he is already one of the wealthiest people in Wangjia Village, and even in Qingquan Town.
And after he has money, he doesn’t want to invest in the financial field and make a lot of money.
Those money, even after earning it, he has no sense of achievement and gain.
He is not even interested in real estate, let alone the profit model of the virtual world.
He just wants to do something practical.
The results visible to the naked eye can not only gain wealth, but also allow relatives, friends, and neighbors to get an income and live a happy life.
The warehouse is full and knows the etiquette.
After getting rich, everyone’s conflicts are much less.
In the early years, almost every day you could hear people arguing and even fighting over disputes over a few centimeters of the land boundary.
Now since everyone is working at the station and working with the construction team, there are many ways to earn money, so I don’t have the heart to toss about trivial things, it’s not enough trouble.
Moreover, through collaboration at work, everyone gradually has a sense of the whole team, no longer sticking to the one-acre-three-point land at home.
The efficiency of doing things is also much better, and the relationship between people is obviously much more harmonious than before.
Therefore, investing in two water pumps is not a problem for Wang Tianxiao now.
.
The sky is slowly cooling down.
Unknowingly, the leaves on the mountain began to turn yellow slowly.
Yangziling is mainly broad-leaved forest, which is very sensitive to seasonal changes.
Every time a gust of wind blows, the leaves will fall a layer.
Standing on the platform of the station, you can often see flying leaves all over the mountains, as beautiful as dancing butterflies.
The medicinal materials that should be planted in autumn have basically been planted, and the remaining open space is some medicinal herb fields planted in winter and spring.
For this planting, Wang Tianxiao specially invited Mi Qingsong to see it many times, to ensure that there is no problem with his method of planting medicinal materials.
Including some relatively expensive medicinal materials.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wang Tianxiao asked everyone to go home early for the festival.
He is going to hold a more grand party at the station.
Originally, it was planned to wait until the row houses in the village were built, but it was too late to decorate after the completion of the construction, so the place was put in the station.
On the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, the temperature difference between day and night in Qingcheng is quite large.
And this time is also the season when most fruits are ripe.
Yangziling also has a lot of fruits, many of which are in large patches, directly covering half of the mountain.
Such as fire pear, hawthorn, mountain apple, mountain date, mountain pear, mountain apricot, mountain plum, mountain peach, mountain cherry and so on.
Although these things are available on flat ground, as long as the word ‘mountain’ is added, it will immediately become another kind of fruit.
Because the fruits in the mountains have not been grafted and cultivated by people, they all maintain the original simple taste of the fruits, and they are not as good-looking as the fruits after screening.
Take mountain peaches for example.
There are many kinds of mountain peaches in the mountains, but they all have a common feature, that is, the hair is very thick, and the flesh of the mountain peach itself is very firm, and it is impossible to bite it before it is ripe.
The kind of long hair is very thin, if it gets stuck on a person, it can make people feel uncomfortable all over.
Especially in this season, the weather is not yet safe and cold, so at noon they will wear single clothes or even short-sleeves. If they eat mountain peaches, the hair will inevitably fall on people.
That itch is really unbearable.
Around August 15th, the mountain peaches are basically ripe.
When Liu Yuan went out to see wild animals, he would pick some back. People brushed the hairs with a brush first, and then wiped them with a cloth before they could be eaten.
Most mountain peaches can be opened directly from the middle, the inside is red, and the peach core will be separated directly, a bit like a yellow peach.
It tastes very sweet.
For the fruit to be delicious, it must meet two conditions, the place of origin does not rain much, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.
Qingcheng is completely satisfied here.
And the situation will be even worse in the mountains.
But don’t look at the benefits of this kind of fruit, but in the past, they could only be left to fend for themselves. The main reason is that no one picks them. After picking them, they can’t be transported. If they carry baskets down the mountain, they can be sold in the market , It can’t be sold for a few dollars at all.
If you want to make money, you need to solve the road problem.
The only thing that can be exchanged for some money here is Shanzao.
The jujube tree basically grows on both sides of the hillside, because of the gravity, the jujube tree will hang down.
In later years, people discovered this rule. After the mountain road was repaired, they directly drove up the agricultural vehicle and hit the jujube tree with the rear of the car, and the jujube would just fall into the truck.
Save labor.
As for other fruits that are not close to the sides of the mountain road, they basically bloom and bear fruit year after year, mature and fall, turn into spring mud, and then continue the next cycle.
When the tree is old, the tree will die naturally, and then a new sapling will grow next to the tree.
After a few years, the saplings began to bloom and bear fruit slowly…
The plants in the mountains, without human beings deliberately screening or intervening, still maintain their original life.
Complete one cycle after another.
After Wang Tianxiao contracted the mountain, he actually thought about collecting the fruits in the mountain to make canned food or jam, but for the time being, there is no road in the mountain, and there is no related craft.
Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important festivals in Qingcheng.
People give special meaning to this festival because of the round moon.
Reunion.
On this day, no matter what people are busy with, they will temporarily put aside things and reunite with their families.
Eat moon cakes, eat various fruits and enjoy the moon.
When Wang Tianxiao was a child, his expectations for the Mid-Autumn Festival were no less than that of the Chinese New Year.
You can eat meat during the Chinese New Year, and you can eat candy during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Every Mid-Autumn Festival, mother Zhang Yufeng would make mooncakes by herself, steamed or baked.
Various fillings can be placed inside.
Sesame, various fruits, walnuts, dates, etc.
If it is dried fruit, it will be chopped, if it is fruit, it will be sliced, and sugar will be sprinkled inside.
Whether it is steamed or baked, it tastes very sweet and delicious.
Later he got married, and this kind of thing was transferred from the mother to the wife.
Every year when this day comes, the wife will pick a lot of fruits early, wash and dry them, and knead a lot of noodles to ferment in advance.
Around noon, I start making stuffing, usually steamed first and then baked.
For steaming, it is to directly make a large cake with a diameter of 30 to 40 centimeters, put slices of various fruits in the middle, sprinkle sugar and sesame seeds, etc., then cover it with a cake, and press the surroundings slowly with a comb. Form a very beautiful pattern.
But such a big cake is difficult to put on the steamer. Every time, Wang Tianxiao is required to help. The two carefully pick up the cake and slowly move it to the steamer.
Baking mooncakes is even more troublesome.
Li Yali can make moon cakes of many different shapes.
There are round, square, triangle, semicircle, sugar corner and so on.
The mooncakes baked with firewood are very beautiful, and the color is a beautiful golden yellow. When they first come out, there is a faint scent of wheat mixed with the fruity aroma of fruits. It smells delicious and tastes sweet.
Wang Tianxiao can eat a lot every time, and he must eat until his stomach is full.
Later, his wife passed away, and his children would buy him a lot of mooncakes every year, but no matter how exquisite the outer packaging was, he didn’t like to eat them, and he couldn’t experience the joy of eating mooncakes at all.
On the contrary, when he had to eat those mooncakes for fear of breaking, he felt very painful.
After all, eating snacks depends on your mood. Sometimes it doesn’t matter what you eat, but who you eat with.
Tonight, Wang Tianxiao was extremely excited.
He can eat mooncakes made by Li Yali again.
Since the afternoon, he has been walking around Li Yali like a child. When Li Yali is kneading dough, he will help chop the stuffing. If Li Yali makes cakes, he will light the fire.
Li Yali didn’t understand why he was like this, and said that if he was tired, he could go to rest instead of helping here.
She naturally didn’t understand Wang Tianxiao’s inner joy.
Compared with anything else, being able to be with his wife again after rebirth is his greatest happiness.
