Manor Romance

Chapter 54 The First Harvest

Shen Hong quickly adapted to work in Xiaolushan. Xu Lin was usually responsible for plowing, fertilizing, and irrigating. Xu Bo and Li Bo assisted him. The three of them worked together to take care of Xiaolushan. Organized.And Lu Ci still continued to take care of her eight acres of cherry tomatoes, as well as the flowers and plants in the courtyard of the bamboo building and Jifang Garden.

Afterwards, the hotel chain will send people to inspect. Yunli wants to enrich the types of crops in the manor, so he re-planned the experimental field, and even used the hilly land on the side of the bamboo building to squeeze out ten acres of land. , to plant all kinds of vegetables and fruits, and Shen Hong is in charge of this area.

Two people live in the same room, see each other every day, eat at the same table, and it is impossible not to talk all the time.But after Shen Hong came, she became the mouthpiece for Yunli and Lu Ci. If there was anything the two wanted to tell each other, the first thing they thought of was to ask Shen Hong to convey it, even though the other party was by her side at that time.

During this period of time, Shen Hong repeated the most words, either "Ah Ci asked me to tell you" or "the boss told you". She laughed and said that she was a human telephone, one end was connected to him, and the other end was connected to her , live voice translation, full signal, on call, free of charge, special offer from Xiaolu Mountain, you two are worth having.

The first harvest was the eight acres of cherry tomatoes.On this day, the five employees in Xiaolu Mountain, together with Shang Yunli, a total of six people, each holding a small pair of scissors and a small bamboo basket on their waist, shuttled through the fields to pick ripe cherry tomatoes.

Due to the hail disaster last time, the harvest of the first batch of cherry tomatoes was delayed for more than three months, and the wounds left by the disaster can still be seen on many plants.

Each cherry tomato is as tall as half a person, and the fruits are clustered in clusters, like bunches of grapes, but they are not so dense, hanging on the stems of the plants.Before the fruit is set, they have tied the fruit strings with ropes and fixed them on the trellis to reduce the load on the plants and prevent the fruits from falling to the ground and being damaged.On a bunch of red and green fruits that match, those red ones represent that they are ripe and ready to be picked and harvested.

"These little guys are cute to look at, and they are so delicious. They will definitely be popular in the market. I don't think the ones sold in supermarkets are as good as ours." Shen Hong picked a bright red one with scissors. , the cherry tomatoes, which are a lot bigger than the average ones, put them in front of them and looked at them again and again, as if they had found a treasure, they lifted them up and said.

Lu Ci on the side, and Yun Li on the opposite row were all attracted to her. Looking at the cherry tomatoes in her hand, a smile appeared on her face, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and then quickly moved away.

"It's too time-consuming to sell it by ourselves, and we don't have the manpower and energy, so we can only rely on the buying station for the time being." Yun Li explained with a sigh.

"Well, the buying station will definitely keep the price very low. After all, they are only the first supply chain, and there are layers of interest divisions on the top. They have worked hard to bring them up. In the end, the biggest profit still needs to be Let others take it." Shen Hong was very familiar with the operation of agricultural product suppliers, shaking her head and saying displeased.

Yunli continued to concentrate on searching for ripe fruits, and replied: "If things go well, we will be able to find another supplier after a while. By then, we will have much more autonomy and you will be busy."

Their batch of cherry tomatoes is round and well-proportioned, the skin is crispy and tender, sweet and juicy, it is definitely the top grade among the cherry tomatoes, it is indeed a pity to sell it to the purchasing station, but now Yunli has no change A good way, so we can only wait patiently for the opportunity to appear.

"It's better to be like this. I'm almost spoiled by wandering around in the fields every day. You can make a lot of money. No wonder every time you hire a part-time job, everyone in the village looks like a duck that has been hungry for a few days. Stretch your neck to squeeze here." Shen Hong said, while imitating stretching her neck once, it was so vivid that Lu Ci couldn't help laughing.

"You're still laughing. You don't care about your own money. When will you earn enough money to build a house, get married and have a baby? You two plan to open a charitable hall, right?" Seeing Lu Ci's smile, Shen Hong admonished, In addition to helping the two of them spread the word, making fun of them is also one of her daily tasks.

"Talk less, do more." Lu Ci stopped smiling and said in a cold voice.

"Yes, Madam Boss!" Shen Hong replied loudly, and then continued to wave the small scissors, swiftly picking cherry tomatoes, making Lu Ci flushed with anger, but she didn't know how to refute.

They were in a group of three, and Xu Ping and Xu Bo and Li Bo were in a group. It didn't take long for the cherry tomatoes on the eight acres of land to be harvested.It was Lao Luo and his wife who came back this time. They parked the truck beside the field and greeted Yunli with smiles on their faces.

"Mr. Yun, every time I come back to Xiaolu Mountain, I see different changes. It seems that the corn field is about to harvest, and Xiaolu Mountain is really a place of good geomantic omen." Lao Luo walked quickly to the Yun Li, who was beside him, patted him on the shoulder as a compliment.

"Uncle Luo, Sister Luo, business is booming." Seeing Lao Luo and his wife, Shen Hong came over and said hello.

"Isn't this Ah Hong from the old Shen's family? I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your mother's leg feeling better?" Sister Luo recognized Shen Hong and greeted her with a smile.The couple used to be from Shanglu Village, not far from Shen Hong's house, so they were no strangers.

"It's still the same, but it hasn't changed, thank you for your concern." Shen Hong replied with a smile.

"By the way, last week, did you call up the owner of the Fortune Hotel in the next town? Let me tell you, you guys are so easy to mess with. Why did you mess with this kind of person? He has a lot of connections. Both black and white have something to do with each other, I heard that you are still lying down and can’t get off the ground, if you really want to take revenge, you have to be careful.” Luo Sao changed the subject to that matter, her voice was very loud, but when talking about this However, he deliberately lowered his voice, which shows that the fat boss's influence is indeed not small.

"It's just a clown, thank you for your concern." Yun Li smiled, and replied casually, judging from his expression, he really doesn't care much about this matter, and after speaking, he glanced at Lu Ci to give her a reassurance eyes.

"Haha, young people need to have this momentum, let's not talk about this, let's go and see how these batches of cherry tomatoes are doing." Lao Luo said with a haha.In his job, he has been dealing with different people for a long time, so his eyesight for seeing people is naturally not weak. From the expression Yunli showed just now, he can tell that he is really not afraid.

Whether he has something to rely on or has a special background is not important to Lao Luo. He only cares about whether the products produced here in Xiaolushan will be affected by it.Seeing that Yunli was full of confidence, he was relieved a lot. After all, Yunli was a big customer for him. The crops produced here in Xiaolu Mountain were much better than those in other places. They were very popular and made huge profits. He didn't want any accident to happen to Yunli and cut off this source of income.

The skin of the cherry tomatoes is fragile and can't bear too much gravity, and friction must be reduced as much as possible, so Yunli and the others spread out a large canvas on the edge of the field, and put all the picked cherry tomatoes on it.

Except for some professional farms, there are few individual farmers who grow cherry tomatoes in the nearby areas. First, the cost of planting this fruit is high, and it requires a lot of investment in the early stage, especially in terms of fertilizers. It is necessary to provide a variety of mixed fertilizers in order to produce fruit. produce delicious fruit.The second is that cherry tomato plants are difficult to take care of, and there are many pest problems. Sometimes the plants will wither for no reason after harvesting less than a few times. It turns out that they have been eaten by insects or bitten by ants, and the risk is relatively high.

But these are not a problem here. With the special green fertilizer and the existence of the wooden magnetic array, the vitality of the cherry tomato plants is extremely tenacious, and Yunli can also adjust the effectiveness of the wooden magnetic array to achieve the effect of repelling insects and sterilizing bacteria. The effect, although the effect is not very obvious now, but it is much better than other places.

How many times has Lao Luo confiscated agricultural products such as cherry tomatoes, but there are still enough in his eyes. Yunli's batch of cherry tomatoes has reached the top-grade level in terms of appearance and taste. Come to eat, I already have a rough judgment in my heart.

"It's better than expected. Let's see, according to this year's market price, the price in nearby areas is three yuan per catty. We agreed on three yuan and two yuan. I'll raise thirty cents, so it's three yuan and five yuan." , how?" After the inspection, Lao Luo turned around and suggested to Yunli.

"No problem, let's make it so, let's weigh it first." Yun Li nodded in agreement.

After that, Lao Luo and his wife moved the weighing scale and baskets out of the truck, and called everyone to put cherry tomatoes into the baskets, and then weighed them one by one.

Temporarily raised [-] cents for Yunli, Lao Luo was still flattered in his heart, not to mention [-] yuan, even if it was [-] yuan, there are still a lot of people who came to collect it, especially when there was a serious hail disaster before, which made everyone The prices of some crops have risen to varying degrees.At the same time, he also admired Yunli very much in his heart. This young man is good at whatever he grows. Looking at the cornfield, it is a scene of fruitful harvests. It really has to be amazed.

Lao Luo is willing to raise the price, and Yunli will naturally not refuse. In fact, in his opinion, let alone a big supermarket or a big hotel, put these cherry tomatoes in the small supermarket of his school, and they can sell them for ten yuan. One catty.But here, he can only sell it at such a low price, which will make him a little uncomfortable, and at the same time, he is more eager and looking forward to the future cooperation with the hotel.

Carefully put the cherry tomatoes into the baskets. Each basket should not be filled too much, about one-third of it is enough, and then weighed one by one, subtracting the weight of the basket from the total weight. The total amount of female fruit came out.Less than eight thousand catties, seven thousand seven hundred catties, the average yield per mu is less than one thousand catties, the results are very unsatisfactory.

You know, Lu Ci devoted all his heart and soul to taking care of the cherry tomatoes in the eight acres of land from seedlings to harvesting. If it weren't for the damn hail disaster, the first batch of harvests would have been harvested. It will not drag on until today.Originally, Yunli estimated that it would not be a problem for the first harvest of this batch of cherry tomatoes to exceed [-] jin per mu, but the current results have not even reached half of the expectation, which is really a misfortune.
