"Zhou Jin, let's go. If some people want to follow, they can follow. If they don't want to follow, we won't force them.”
"Okay, wife."
Zhou Jin supported the cart and continued to push his wife along the road.
Zhou Yuanyuan stood on the spot for a while and chased after him hatefully.
B * tch! This pair of b * tches did it on purpose. B * tches.
When they were about to reach the county town, Zhou Jin took out a warm steamed bun from his pocket and broke it off to feed Cai Anan.""Wife, eat."
Cai Anan naturally ate it happily. After eating, she was fed another mouthful. The two of them finished the steamed bun one bite at a time.
Zhou Yuanyuan was completely treated as air. She stood at the side and chewed on the cold and hard steamed bun like a fool.
She was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger. She wished she could use a stick to pry open his useless brother's brain and see what was inside.
After eating the dry rations, they continued on their way. Because of the delay on the road, it was already eight o'clock when they arrived at the technical school.
Cai Anan went straight to the principal and told him her purpose of visit. Zhou Yuanyuan met the admission requirements and the principal agreed to let her enter the school immediately.
Cai Anan decided to choose a major in beauty and hairdressing for her. If she did well in this field, she would be very popular in the next few decades. With this skill, she could live a good life even if she did not have a degree.
After completing the admission procedures, Cai Anan and Zhou Jin left because she had agreed to meet at the canning factory at ten o'clock.
They finally arrived at the canning factory before ten o'clock. Cai Anan had bought a big front door for the factory manager before she came. The factory manager had no objections to the purchase contract and signed it readily.
Cai Anan heaved a sigh of relief. It was time for her to show off her skills.
However, she did not expect Zhou Yuanyuan to sneak out of the school not long after she left the technical school…
Cai An 'an and Zhou Jin had lunch in the county town and went straight to Xiaoma Village in the afternoon. The pears were ripe. The villagers were very happy when they heard that the pears could be sold for money this year.
Cai Anan told everyone that she had taken the sample and showed it to the manufacturer. The manufacturer was very satisfied.
She and Village Chief Liu had agreed to come to collect the pears tomorrow morning. On the first day, she would carry 4,000 catties, and in the future, she would increase it according to the situation.
Village Chief Liu and the villagers were anxious when they heard that. 4,000 catties was too little. The pear orchard produced 3,000 catties per mu, which meant that 200 mu would produce at least 600,000 catties. If they only produced 4,000 catties a day, it would take a long time to harvest all of them. If not, the pears might rot in the ground like last year!
Some villagers even said that since the pears could not be sold for money, it was better to cut down the pear trees.
Everyone's enthusiasm disappeared in an instant, and a cloud of gloom enveloped the entire village.
Village Chief Liu had watched the pear trees in the pear garden grow. It was now in the prime of its life, so it would be a pity to cut them down.
Cai Anan explained to everyone that it was only the first day's sale, but it would gradually increase in the future. However, the villagers did not believe it. They thought that the price was too high, so they secretly told the village chief that they would take the initiative to lower the price. As long as Cai Anan was willing to accept it, they would sell it for money!
Village Chief Liu conveyed the meaning of the villagers. Cai Anan was not someone who would take advantage of a burning house, but if someone was willing to give it to her at a lower price, why would she not agree?
The original agreement she signed with the village was 10 cents per catty of pears. She handed it over to the canning factory for 15 cents, and the profit per catty was 5 cents. She could earn 30,000 yuan from 600,000 catties.
But now that the villagers were crying and shouting for a price reduction, she had no choice but to adjust the price to five cents per catty of pears. This way, she could earn ten cents per catty and 600,000 yuan per catty.
Even so, the villagers could still earn 150 yuan per mu of pear tree land, which was much better than growing food. Some villagers had four or five acres of pear trees. Just this alone could reach 1,000 yuan. This was definitely a considerable income in 1980.
The villagers didn't know much, and they didn't know how much money Cai Anan had paid to the canning factory. They only hoped that the pears that had rotted in the field last year could be exchanged for money this year.
After renegotiating the price, Cai Anan was escorted out by the villagers like a savior. Now, the people of Pony Village treated her as their savior. The harvest for the year depended on her!
After leaving Pony Village, Cai Anan's first thought was to find a driver who could drive a tractor as soon as possible. 600,000 catties of pears were harvested in about 15 days. She had to transport all these pears to the canning factory within 15 days to turn them into money.
In other words, the daily transportation volume had to be at least 40,000 catties.
There was only one tractor in Pony Village, and it could transport 4,000 catties each time. It had to run ten times a day to ensure the transportation volume.
She calculated that it took half an hour for the tractor to enter the city once. Including loading and unloading, it would take at least two hours. Therefore, if this tractor wanted to pull 40,000 catties, it would have to stop 24 hours a day.
There were at least two drivers working in shifts. Village Chief Liu's son was one of them, but where could he find another one?
Nowadays, there were very few people who knew how to drive a tractor. Cai Anan did not want to use outsiders, for she was afraid that others would peep at her way of earning money. Village Chief Liu's son was an honest person. She trusted him more, but it was hard to say for others.
Zhou Jin went to deliver shoes to his uncle's house, while Cai Anan went back first.
It wasn't that she didn't want to go to Xue Guibao's house, but it was too urgent. She had to go home and ask Xue Guixiang if she had anyone reliable.
As she walked, she thought about finding a driver. She felt that if she really couldn't do it, she would do it herself. In her previous life, she had driven a lot. The principle of a tractor was similar to that of a car. It was just a steering wheel and a gear lever.
However, if that was the case, she would not have the energy to manage the overall situation.
She was concentrating on thinking about something when she was suddenly covered in a blindfold. Before she could struggle, she was dragged into a place that emitted a moldy smell.
