Alpine Orchard

Chapter 170 New Year's Eve
In the next few days, it was basically a morning job.

After finishing the work in the morning, in the afternoon, the Landlords fight against the Landlords, and those who play mahjong play mahjong.

Ye Ran, Lin Xiaomian, Zhang Xia, Wang Yue... Four women sit at a mahjong table.

Ye Ma, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Wang Ma (sometimes Tang Ma), a table of mahjong.

The seven of them, dad and uncle, fight landlords every afternoon.

Ye Zhi wants to take care of the baby, and Tang Xun also takes care of the baby sometimes.In the afternoon, Ye Mo dragged Chen Chen to help him with work...

My brother-in-law, there is nothing embarrassing about calling her around.

The earliest grafted seedlings have to be moved to the small shed to start the process of hardening the seedlings, and then they can be transplanted.

"Brother Ye Mo." Chen Chen shouted while taking the grafting folder.

"What?"

"When you're done, can you teach me how to drive an excavator?" Chen Chen asked.

Ye Mo nodded and looked at him strangely.

Chen Chen said with some embarrassment: "When the production team needs an excavator, if I know how to drive an excavator, I can help Ye Ran open it."

"Well, okay... I'll teach you how to drive when I'm free." Ye Mo said with a smile, "It just so happens that Niubei Mountain needs to be leveled."

Niubei Mountain, where the reservoir is located.

Before the reservoir was dug, there were still many mounds of dirt on the mountain, and Ye Mo had long wanted to clear those mounds.

Ye Mo and the others quickly removed the seedling tray, placed it in the shed, and ventilated the sides of the shed. This is the hardening of seedlings...

All the melon seedlings have been grafted. Watching the time, the grafted melon seedlings are sent to the small shed for hardening.

A blink of an eye.

The first batch of melon seedlings can be planted.

But the temperature is still very low, but the melon seedlings wait for no one.

Ye Mo pushed back the time of planting as much as possible. According to the weather forecast, the temperature in the next few days will be suitable before planting.

The current melon seedlings have grown very large, and if they are not planted, these melon seedlings will be abolished.

It has been cloudy this month, and there have been several light rains.Sufficient moisture in the soil...

Spread a layer of plastic film, and then plant melon seedlings.

Next to the melon seedlings, give some cake fertilizer...

The roots of the newly planted watermelon seedlings are often damaged, and they cannot be watered immediately after planting. It is necessary to wait for a few days before watering the watermelon seedlings.

Soil moisture is sufficient now, no need to water immediately.

But for melons, you need to give some water after planting, even if there is moisture in the soil.

Melon is also cantaloupe, it is not the same as the cultivation of watermelon.

Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo and said, "After today's work, our family won't have time until the third day of the Lunar New Year?"

Ye Mo said: "Plant the slightly larger melon seedlings, and we can follow the ones behind."

Everyone has been here to help for a long time. To be honest, Ye Mo is very sorry.

Like Tang Xun's family, five people come here every day.According to the local wages for raising seedlings, it would be at least 200 yuan per person per day... for five people, it would be more than 1000 yuan a day.

Second uncle, third uncle's house...

There is also Xiaomian's aunt's family, at least one of them comes here every day, if counting the working days, there are 32 working days.

"Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and our family will have to leave relatives." Tang Xun said.

"There's no joy in working when you leave relatives. Don't leave relatives, I have a lot of things going on here." Ye Mo joked: "If my batch of watermelons makes money, I'll count the work days for you. It costs 300 yuan per construction day. Don’t you want to buy a Wuling mini, after the work is done, it’s equivalent to picking up a Wuling mini for nothing.”

"One working day is three hundred, that's fine." Tang Xun said with a smile, "What if you don't make any money?"

"I didn't make any money, so you must have done it for nothing." Ye Mo said.

Ye Mo talked with Tang Xun about this matter last night and asked him to help.

Tang Xun was unwilling at first, they didn't come to help with work to make money.But there are some things that people don't say, but Ye Mo must mention them...

It has been 25 days since the seedlings were raised.

If it's just to help, there must be a limit.Ye Mo's job is not small, judging by the current progress... it will take three or four days to complete the planting.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you also need to support your nephew and son. When these watermelons are sold, you will make money, 350 yuan per day." Ye Mo said with a smile.

"Whatever it is." The second uncle smiled and shook his head.

"You calculate 300 yuan for me, and 350 yuan for the second uncle and the others. It's a bit too much." Tang Xun laughed.

"Can you work faster than your uncle and the others? Playing around every day..." Ye Mo said: "This melon field will have a lot of work in the future. It needs to pinch buds, pollinate, and comb the melons and fruits. I think I also made money, and I will count the work days for everyone. If I don’t make money, I won’t give it. They are all my elders. If I lose money, even if I take out the money, you must be embarrassed to ask for it. Right. Hahaha..."

"Then I wish the boss a lot of money in advance." Wang Yue said with a smile, when Ye Mo and Tang Xun talked about this matter yesterday, Wang Yue also heard: "When you make a lot of money, buy a Wuling mini for our family. The job, our whole family will tie it up for you."

"It's easy to say..." Ye Mo said with a smile.

Father Ye looked at the side and nodded.If Ye Mo didn't bring up this matter, he still wanted to talk about Ye Mo.

There is so much work on his side. It has been almost a month since the start of seedling cultivation, and he has not finished his work yet.There is still a lot of work ahead, no matter how good the relationship is, you can't keep asking for it.

"Forget about our side. When the orchard on our side needs to be fertilized, you can go over and help." The third uncle said: "We are idle during this time anyway."

"That's right, what about money? It hurts feelings very much." Tang Ming said.

"It really can't be calculated like this. There are still many things behind me, pollination, bud pinching...all require labor. Planting watermelons is also very hard..." Ye Mo said: "Anyway, I want to make money to grow watermelons for everyone. Salary, if you don’t make money, forget it. Besides, if my watermelons and cantaloupe make money, I will plant them in summer, and then... I will have to trouble everyone again.”

Ye Mo wrote down everyone's construction days.It's not a short job after all...

It's New Year's Eve today.

There was no rest in the afternoon, and I rushed to order all the melon seedlings that I was anxious to plant.

The temperature in the back is good. After the new year, the temperature will start to warm up, which is just the right climate for the growth of melon seedlings.

Customize it now, and it will bloom and bear fruit at the end of the month.At the end of March at the earliest, the first batch of watermelons will be ripe...

Ye Mo is pinching the time, the watermelons at the end of March and the beginning of April can be sold at a good price.

And in March, the temperature is high, and it can reach more than [-] degrees during the day.The minimum temperature at night is also above ten degrees...

Without a greenhouse, the temperature difference between day and night during the fruit setting period is large, and watermelons tend to be hollow.But Little Watermelon, these problems are not big.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Mo's mother and a few aunts went home to prepare the reunion dinner.

Ye Mo and the others speeded up and kept busy until dark.

It's time to call it a day.

Ye Mo went to the greenhouse, the big watermelon in the greenhouse, the melon vines had stopped growing.

One main vine and two secondary vines.The main vine grew to more than eight meters long before Ye Mo pinched off the top of the vine.Now, there are many flowers growing on the nodes of the melon vine, these flowers are still small bones, and it will take a few days to bloom.

Ye Mo went in to have a look, then returned home.

Ye Ran and the others called off work early and went to town, bought a lot of firecrackers, and came back with fireworks.

When I went back, I saw Lin Xiaomian and the others setting off fireworks outside, and there were three little guys outside. It was so lively.

Ye Mo took a firecracker, lit it, and the beautiful fireworks rushed out, exploding in the night sky.

Tang Xun and Chen Chen went over to look at the fireworks, found one and lit it.

"Are there any big firecrackers?" Tang Ming went over and asked.

"No." Wang Yue said: "When we went there, there were only firecrackers, firecrackers and small firecrackers in the town."

Tang Ming found a few small firecrackers and lit them... a kind of firework 'little bee' that can spin on the ground, and with a sound of 'woo~', it flew into the sky with brilliant fireworks.
