Alpine Orchard

Chapter 237
It's sour, but it's really good to have a big brother like Ye Mo.

Ye Ran laughed and said, "You didn't call me here just to install a villa for me, did you?"

"Some of the durian seedlings and coconut trees have died, and I'm going to transplant the durian trees on the other side of the melon field to fill the gap." Ye Mo said, "I saw that Chen Chen, Ye Zhi, and Tang Xun all wanted to try planting watermelons. , melons, if you plant them, I will leave some land for you.”

Chen Chen had told her about this before.

Originally, I wanted to contract the land on the other side of the gravel slope. The gravel slope is a large area of ​​barren hills and shallow hills with sparse vegetation.If it can be contracted, there will be a lot of land that can be reclaimed.

"Forget about your side. You use the land here yourself. We used to contract the gravel slope and open up wasteland ourselves." Ye Ran said.

"Isn't it impossible to contract the gravel slope?" Ye Mo said.

As Chen Chen said before, the gravel slope cannot be contracted, and the local ecology must be protected.

"Only contract two small valleys and shallow hills and Pingba." Ye Ran said: "The hillside area cannot be contracted, but some land near the village can be contracted."

I asked about it before, and said that to protect the local ecology, that piece of land cannot be contracted out.

Uncle Chen Chen is the deputy village head of their production team, and by the end of the year... he should be the village head.Chen Shan asked someone to study it carefully. It is not that the land on the gravel slope cannot be developed, but the area that can be developed is only about [-] mu in total.

A large area of ​​barren hills and uninhabited land, the total area is estimated to be about [-] mu, not the [-] or [-] mu that Ye Mo had visually estimated before.

About [-] mu, it is not a big problem to find a flat area of ​​[-] mu to reclaim land.

There are villages under the gravel slope, and they also belong to Changzhu Village. There are 4 teams, 5 teams...

Most of the people in these two production teams were relocated out, and a large area of ​​the previously reclaimed mountain land was abandoned.

There are not one hundred acres of abandoned land, but seventy or eighty acres.However, the area of ​​the abandoned land over there is very small, with patches in the east and west.

"Chen Chen is still contracting the land on the gravel slope. If the contract can be won, we will go to the gravel slope to open up wasteland. If the contract can't be won, we will rent four or five teams of abandoned mountain land..." Ye Ran said: "You The land around you, you plant it yourself."

"Growing watermelons, melons...is not as simple as it seems." Ye Mo said: "Let's not talk about domestic, there are quite a few watermelons around Huacheng, but the watermelons and melons that can be sold at a high price are rare. .”

"After it's done, you can give us some guidance." Ye Ran said, "We didn't expect to become a big fat man just like you. It's just that... if we can make money, that's fine."

Ye Mo nodded: "No matter what kind of business you do, you can only make money if you are at the top. Planting watermelons and cantaloupe can make money, but they are all the top batch. Planting mangoes is the same... Tell Chen Chen , Don’t put the cart before the horse. Their 150-odd-acre mangoes, not to mention top-notch, as long as they have the average yield and quality of Dongmen Town, they will have an output value of more than 200 million yuan a year.”

"I know, the root is my own orchard. I came out to grow watermelons, melons, etc., mainly to take advantage of the gap in the management of the orchard."

"It's like the orchard of Chen Chen's family, how can there be so many vacancies in a year. Ye Zhi, Tang Xun's family is the same."

Not exactly.

The busy season of the orchard is October, which is the time after picking and picking.And after March of the next year, until May...

Fruit picking, fattening after fruit... These will definitely be hired in the future.

Flowering period management and fruit setting period management, things to do, it is actually good.

For example, for flower preservation, many people in the village purchased large sprayers.One sprayer can treat two to three hundred acres of orchards a day, and the sprayer can also spray pesticides and foliar fertilizers.

Tang Xun's family just bought one. If their orchard needs to be sprayed, it can be done in a day.After that, the sprayer can still be used to make money...

As far as the orchard is concerned, the real busy months are only a few months.For the rest of the time, pesticides, flower preservation, foliar fertilizers, etc., just invite someone to come.

"Everyone is stimulated by you. There are still many people in our village who want to grow watermelons and muskmelons." Ye Ran said.

"You can do whatever you want. It must be good to earn more money." Ye Mo said.

"Can you give us some of the melon seeds you left behind? There are also melon seeds." Ye Ran asked.

Ye Mo nodded: "The emerald melons I bought are hybrid varieties. Although I left some seeds, I don't know if they are good after they are planted. The relatively stable varieties now only have big watermelons." There are still no other seeds. Tried.

The netted melon leaf ink has left some seeds, and Ye Mo will be ready to take seeds after a while, so let's plant some and come out to see.The same goes for other seeds...

After chatting with Ye Ran for a while, Ye Mo went over to drive the excavator and dug out the durian trees around the melon field.

Carpenter Liu and the others are responsible for loading and transporting.

Carpenter Zhang and Master Li are digging a hole...

The planting density of durian trees is inherently low. If one tree dies, an area of ​​more than 100 square meters will be vacated.Such a large area must be filled...

……

In the afternoon, Ye Mo arranged for Master Li to drive the lawn mower.Among this group of people, only he has a driver's license...

Although you don't need a driver's license to drive a lawn mower, those who can drive can learn how to operate a lawn mower.

Song Damin trimmed the corners of the orchard with a straight mower, and Ji Zhicai also went to the coconut grove to pick up the fallen leaves of the coconut trees.

The leaves of the coconut tree are very large, and if they are thrown directly into the orchard, they will not rot easily.The leaves of these coconut trees are collected and put into a shredder. After smashing, they become natural organic fertilizer...

Liu Carpenter, Zhang Carpenter, Zhou Yue and Wang Long, they continued to transplant durian trees.

The female workers continued to prune the Jiabao fruit tree, and then the miracle fruit, and the durian tree also had to be pruned...

There are many things.

……

As for the melon fields.

At intervals of two to three days, gather everyone to enter the melon field. The work on the melon field cannot be delayed for a moment...

The work on Gaoshanping is not a heavy job now.But there is a lot of work that needs to be done.Arrange urgent work that cannot be delayed, such as pruning, which is not in a hurry.It is okay to wait until the end of the year to do things later, or even wait until the end of the year to prune.

However, these jobs now are unfamiliar jobs to everyone.Everyone feels that it is not easy, and it feels harder than being a plasterer...

In fact, it's normal. If you change jobs, you have to get used to it.Once you get used to it, it's fine.

This group of people worked very fast.Plus Xiaomian's parents, Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian... There are 19 people in Gaoshanping, which is about the same as when the second and third uncles came to help.

Before the second uncle, third uncle, Tang Xun's family, plus Ms. Xiao Mian and the others... total, and Xiao Mian's parents... most of the time, 20 people went to the field.

Now, Ye Mo has hired 15 workers, plus Xiao Mian's parents, Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian, that is 19 people, but the work efficiency is much faster.

I work eight hours a day, come out at 7 am and finish work at 11 am.Come out at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and finish work at 7 o'clock... Not to mention the work in Guatian, Gaoshanping has other jobs, and I can follow along.
