He directly shut down the camera function, but Liu Yifeng felt it was better to dismantle it completely, leaving no potential hidden danger, just in case.
He busied himself for more than half an hour before finally removing the camera, then locked it in his office drawer.
If nothing unexpected happened, he probably wouldn’t use this camera again.
By the time he finished, it was almost half past three. He then went to the freight department and found ten movers to have his pomelos unloaded from the truck overnight.
Moreover, to evenly spray them with the Rejuvenation Powder and nutrient solution, he instructed them to empty all the pomelos from the bags and spread them out evenly on the ground, not in piles.
Later, when Su Wanru sold them, each pomelo would also need to be individually packaged.
After all, most people bought pomelos as gifts, and only attractive packaging made them appear high-class.
He also calculated that the approximately 110,000 catties of pomelos comprised just over a thousand bags.
A bag of pomelos weighed about a hundred catties, so ten bags made a thousand catties.
By extension, a thousand bags would be a hundred thousand catties.
With ten movers, each responsible for about a hundred bags, this was a major undertaking for others, something that couldn’t be finished quickly.
But for movers who had been doing this for over ten or twenty years, it was nothing.
They could complete it in about six hours.
However, this was all manual labor, so the wages couldn’t be low, otherwise, no one would be willing to work overtime.
Thus, Liu Yifeng gave them each 300 yuan in wages, asking them to unload these two truckloads without rest.
Seeing such high pay, the idle movers scrambled to take the job!
After all, working here for more than ten hours a day, doing strenuous work, only earned them 120 yuan.
This 300 yuan was equivalent to two and a half days’ wages, so where could they find such a good opportunity?
Since many wanted to take the job, Liu Yifeng selected ten movers who appeared relatively strong and younger.
He dared not hire those in their fifties or sixties, fearing that if anything happened during the unloading, he might be extorted, which would be too unlucky.
After finalizing his choices, Liu Yifeng gave them a phone number and told them to wait for his call.
By the time he finished, it was already past four o'clock, and Tongtong was about to get off school, so Liu Yifeng went directly to the kindergarten.
On the way home with Tongtong, he received a call from the truck driver, who said the pomelos had all been loaded and asked where to deliver them.
Liu Yifeng told him to wait at the orchard, and he would be there soon.
Just as he hung up the driver's call, Liu Xincheng's phone rang.
Without even guessing, he knew why he was calling.
As expected, as soon as the call was answered, he got straight to the point: "Yifeng, all the pomelos have been picked and weighed, and they're loaded onto the truck. Your father is currently calculating the weight. You need to settle the remaining payment with me today!"
Liu Yifeng replied, "I'm on my way to your orchard now. When the amount is calculated, I'll pay you every cent!"
"Alright, drive slowly on the road. No rush!" Liu Xincheng said with a smile.
At a little past five-twenty, Liu Yifeng drove to the orchard.
The rear door of the truck was still open, revealing piles of snake-skin bags filled with pomelos.
Liu Xincheng was waiting outside and hurried to greet Liu Yifeng when he saw him.
"You're here. The weights have all been tallied. Your father personally tallied them, and I’ve also checked them, and there are no issues. Do you want to check them yourself?" He handed Liu Yifeng the notebook in his hand.
Liu Yifeng took the notebook and flipped through it casually, finally focusing his gaze on the final weight.
The two truckloads of pomelos weighed exactly 116,320 catties. At six mao per catty, the total was 69,792 yuan.
Liu Yifeng had previously paid a deposit of 20,000 yuan. Deducting this amount, the remaining balance was 49,792 yuan.
"Yifeng, I'm not that petty. Just give me 49,000 yuan, and we can forget about the remaining odd change."
But Liu Yifeng was not one to take advantage of anyone, and he certainly wouldn't take advantage of him. He said, "That won't do. I said before that I would pay the remaining money in full. How can I not pay this more than seven hundred yuan? Give me your account number, and I'll transfer it to you on my phone right now!"
Liu Xincheng hadn't intended to accept it, but seeing Liu Yifeng's persistence, why would he refuse more money? So, he didn't insist further and gave him his account number.
At this moment, Liu Chunsheng walked out of the orchard: "Yifeng, I've calculated the money for you. You just need to pay Liu Xincheng 49,792 yuan!"
"I've already told Yifeng. Don't worry, I won't take a cent more from you," Liu Xincheng said from the side.
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Yifeng transferred the money, and a large sum of funds in his account decreased.
However, he was confident that he would earn it back with interest soon.
It shouldn’t be difficult to cultivate these 110,000 catties of pomelos into 300,000 catties!
Soon, Liu Xincheng received Liu Yifeng's transfer notification.
Looking at the increased balance, he was overjoyed, as if the money had been picked up for free.
"Yifeng, I've received the money, and you've loaded all the pomelos onto the trucks. I'll say it again, these pomelos have nothing to do with me anymore. If you can't sell them, you can't blame me or ask me to solve it for you!"
Liu Yifeng smiled slightly: "I know. We've already signed a contract, and everything will be done according to the contract."
"Alright then, I'll take them home first and pay them their wages for the past two days. If you have nothing else, I'll change the orchard gate," Liu Xincheng said, pointing at the gate.
"You can lock it. I have no problem with that," Liu Yifeng nodded in response.
At this moment, the two truck drivers had also securely closed the truck doors.
"Boss Liu, we can set off now," one of the truck drivers said to Liu Yifeng from the front of the vehicle.
Liu Yifeng looked at Tongtong and his father. Thinking that he wouldn't be able to return for a while if he led the way, he said, "You two first drive the trucks to the village entrance and wait for me. I'll take my son and father home, and then I'll come to lead the way for you."
"Okay, we'll wait for you where you met us this morning," the truck driver said, then both got into their trucks, started the engines, and drove towards the village entrance.
Fortunately, the area was spacious enough, but it was difficult for such large trucks to turn around.
After the trucks drove away, Liu Xincheng, with his entourage, also left, some driving cars, others riding electric bikes.
Finally, only Liu Yifeng and the grandfather and grandson remained: "Dad, let's go too!"
"You open the trunk first. I'll put the electronic scale in it!" Liu Chunsheng carried the electronic scale with both hands and walked towards the trunk of the minivan.
Liu Yifeng quickly opened the trunk and helped him place the electronic scale inside.
After dropping them off at home, Liu Yifeng gave Tongtong a task: to train Dabai's stamina and not let it just eat and sleep.
"Daddy, why do we need to train Dabai?" Tongtong asked curiously.
"Of course, it's to have it guard the house. What if someone breaks into our house to steal things when we're not home?" Liu Yifeng explained.
He had heard that Liu Xincheng's family had been robbed, and thousands of yuan in cash were stolen.
It was only after that incident that they started keeping dogs.
And once their villa was built, who knew how many people would be envious. After all, a tall tree attracts the wind.
Thieves naturally would target families they perceived as wealthy. Therefore, he needed to be prepared for such an eventuality.
"Daddy, I understand. You can rest assured and leave this task to me. I promise to make Dabai full of combat power!" Tongtong said, her gaze as determined as a soldier accepting a mission.
