Chapter 236 Hiring Bamboo's Parents(1/2)

Driving the carriage to Zhu'er's house.

"Master Lu."

"Hello, Master Lu."

Zhu'er's parents were inevitably a little cautious when meeting Lu Fang.

They were out-and-out ordinary people, and they were at the lower levels of Ningyuan County. Lu Fang was already a huge figure to them.

Lu Fang just smiled and invited the couple to sit down in the carriage, and then asked Zhu'er to drive the carriage to the vegetable field.

In the carriage, he said straight to the point: "Uncle, aunt, Zhu'er, Zeng Yi has already told you about the situation in the vegetable field, right?"

Both husband and wife nodded, "I've said it, I've said it."

Lu Fangfang added: "For the time being, I can't guarantee whether my greenhouse cultivation will be successful, but even if it is not successful, I will definitely plant these fruits and vegetables imported from overseas according to the seasons. Because I am preparing for the exam now and have no time to spare.

It’s time, so I would like to ask you two to help me look after it.”

"No problem, no problem."

Zhu'er's father said repeatedly: "Master Lu, don't worry, we all come from farming backgrounds, we will definitely take good care of these vegetable plots for you."

They are now doing small business in Ningyuan County.

Set up a stall and sell the soles of your own shoes.

"hehe."

Lu Fang chuckled, "This is just a small matter. I asked uncle and aunt to take care of it personally. I also want you to be familiar with the methods of growing these fruits and vegetables. The main thing is that in the future, I plan to turn all the cultivated land of our Lu family into vegetable fields, and maybe some more

I’ll buy some more land. Then I’ll have to ask you two to help me teach and manage the tenants.”

"this……"

After saying these words, Zhu'er's father immediately looked cautious.

There was even a little panic on his dark face, "Master Lu, we, we have never taken care of anyone in our lives, I'm afraid I can't do it."

Zhu'er never told him about this.

At this time, Zhu'er, who was driving outside the car and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in the car, also looked shocked.

She only thought that Lu Fang wanted to ask her parents to help him take care of the experimental field. She did not expect that he would hand over the entire field to her parents for management.

Growing vegetables and managing them are two different things.

Lu Fang, however, looked disapproving and said with a smile: "It's not difficult, as long as you two are familiar with the planting method first, and then teach the tenants according to the method."

As he said this, he took out the planting method he wrote from his arms and said, "This is the planting method I wrote. Uncle and aunt, please take a look at it first."

Zhu'er's father looked stern and rubbed his dry hands in embarrassment, "We are illiterate."

Lu Fang was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "I'll let Zeng Yi teach you later."

I also have some feelings in my heart.

I am still very short of people under me now.

In fact, Zhu'er's parents are undoubtedly not the best choice to manage this kind of thing.

But you may not be able to trust just anyone.

Growing vegetables may seem simple, but in fact it requires a lot of effort. The amount of effort is often linked to the harvest.

Taking the planting method into his arms again, Lu Fang continued: "That's what I think for the time being. You don't need to worry about selling fruits and vegetables. You two only need to study the planting method thoroughly. Now, every month, I

Give uncle and aunt two taels of silver, and when we turn all the fields at home into vegetable fields, I will give you one-tenth of the harvest each season as compensation, how about that?"

Zhu'er's parents were confused.

The same is true for the bamboos outside.

They knew how extensive the Lu family's land was.

That’s a full five hundred acres!

Moreover, Lu Fang just said that he might purchase more.

How many will there be then?

One-tenth of the harvest...

This is something they don't even dare to think about.

It was like a leap to become a small landlord-level family in Ningyuan County.

Then Zhu'er's father hurriedly waved his hand and said: "You can't do it, you can't do it, Master Lu, two taels of silver is already a lot."

"That's what it is."

Lu Fang smiled and said: "As long as the harvest is good, I don't care about this reward. Uncle, aunt, don't refuse."

He naturally has his own considerations.

What can best motivate employees?

Of course it's divided into shares.

This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to give He Xuquan, He Zhigao and his son a high share of the profits.

As long as the business is booming, it really doesn't matter if you split some profits.

"this……"

Zhu'er's father wanted to say something else.

Lu Fang stopped him and said with a smile: "I don't know if it can be done in Chengdu now, so let's make a decision for now!"

Hearing what he said, Zhu'er's father had no choice but to swallow his words back.

The couple both felt their hearts pounding like deers.

After all, Master Lu is worthy of being the younger brother of the county magistrate. This open-mouthed business is the kind of wealth they have never dared to hope for in their lives.

At the same time, I felt deep gratitude to Lu Fang in my heart.

Although things might not work out, Lu Fang's intention already made them feel uneasy.

Zhu'er is outside, her eyes are like water.

When he arrived at the vegetable field, Lu Fang first inserted the labels into the ground. It was clear at a glance which piece was beef horn pepper and which piece was millet pepper.

Then he took out the planting method and explained it in detail to Zhu'er and her parents.

The quality of the seeds exchanged through the system will definitely be good, so the step of selecting seeds can be omitted.

The rest is to cultivate seedlings, transplant, fertilize, remove insects, control pests and diseases, etc.

Lu Fang doesn't know much about this himself, but the planting methods outlined in the search engine are quite detailed and quite scientific.

There is no doubt about this.

Zhu'er's parents are both old farmers. Listening to Lu Fang's detailed explanation, I couldn't help but be stunned for a while, as if I could see the sun through the clouds.

Only then did I realize that growing vegetables can be done so meticulously.

I was also very confused at the same time.

Lu Fang is a young man, how could he be so proficient in growing vegetables? Even the most skilled farmer in the county might not be as good as him.

Anyway, it is definitely impossible to tell him so many skills.

Zhu'er turned her head to look at Lu Fang from time to time, her eyes sparkling, and her pretty face had a hint of blush.

The young master looks so good when he is serious.

It was almost evening when the couple finally managed to memorize the planting and cultivation methods of several types of fruits and vegetables.

Lu Fang was also helpless.

After all, it is still a bit difficult for them to absorb this scientific planting method.

But fortunately, they all have experience, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

Lu Fang straightened up in the vegetable field and said, "By the way, there is one more thing. Uncle, do you want aunt to move outside the city? It will be convenient to take care of the vegetable soil this way."

They say people love their houses as much as they love birds, and he couldn't bear to let Zhu'er's parents get up early and walk from the county town to the countryside every day to take care of the vegetable fields.

The tenants in the family all live in nearby villages.

Zhu'er's parents were both slightly stunned.

Then her father waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no. We can just get up earlier."

Lu Fang looked at Zhu'er.

He noticed that Zhu'er was also looking at him with those big eyes.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Let's build a house in the suburbs. Just choose a place near here. I'll find a craftsman to come over then. It won't cost much anyway."

After saying this, he didn't give Zhu'er's parents a chance to refuse. He patted the mud on his hands and walked towards the carriage.

Zhu'er's parents looked on blankly.
