Global Farm King

Chapter 273 Ten Thousand Goats
On this day, the weather in Qingxi Village was clear, and the sky was cloudless, which was a rare good weather in spring.

But even though it was only April, there was no wind in the air, and it seemed a little hot.

No, Gu Chen came to the farm after breakfast early in the morning, ready to inspect it.

The more than 300 mu of fruit in the second phase of the farm is distributed on several hillsides below Jiazigou. At the foot of the hill are several hundred mu of vegetable fields, and the valley is a reservoir for fish farming.

Walking along the winding main road of the farm for about 20 minutes, we arrived at a hillside.

Most of the orchards can be seen here, so Gu Bowen built a platform and a lookout here.And even after walking for more than ten or twenty minutes, Gu Chen's body was slightly sweating.

When he came to the platform, he saw that there were chairs for rest under the pavilion, so Gu Chen called everyone to go and rest for a while.

Gu Chen wiped the sweat off his face, looked at the bright sun, and said, "It's not May yet, and the weather is so hot. It looks like this summer might be a bit hot."

As the planting supervisor of the farm, Li Dajiang is also very concerned about the weather, so of course he also knows that this year is a bit hot.

Hearing Gu Chen's words, he smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, according to this trend, this year should be much hotter than previous years. I remember that at this time last year, everyone was still wearing coats. But at this time this year, we all Wearing short sleeves. And there was no wind at all today, so it was so hot after we climbed the mountain for a while.

But Mr. Gu, don't worry, our side has not been short of water in recent years.In addition to the reservoir in our valley, even if the precipitation is a little bit less, it should be fine.By the way, the reservoir in the col over there has been repaired and has a large capacity, enough for us to water all the fruit trees. "

On Gu Chen's side, he didn't worry much about the lack of water, after all, the rainwater on Rongzhou's side was sufficient after all.In spring, there is generally no drought. Except for a few years when I was a child, it was relatively dry, and the rest of the time was fine.

I probably remember when I was in elementary school, when the rice seedlings were planted in March and April, there was a particularly dry year.

Those paddy fields are okay, some of the dry fields are dry, so if we plant seedlings, we have to release water from the reservoir on the other side of the mountain.And because there are many people using water, there is also a need to queue up to release the water.

That year, in Gu Chen's impression, was the time when Qingxi Village was most short of water. At that time, the water in the wells was much less.

"That's good. In April and May, you must remember to replenish the water in the reservoir after use. After all, there will be a lot of water in the next three phases of the project."

Gu Chen thought for a while and said, "By the way, how are these fruit trees doing now?"

Looking at the wild fruit trees all over the mountains, Gu Chen thought of the harvest scene in the future, and his mood, which was a little stuffy, suddenly improved a lot.

Looking from the platform at this time, the peach, pear, and plum trees all over the mountains and plains are in bloom, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers, which makes people feel more comfortable.

Gu Chen came here this time to inspect the growth of fruit trees and the breeding of pheasants. In addition to planting supervisor Li Dajiang, general manager Kong Yi'an and engineering supervisor Gu Bowen accompanied him.

Li Dajiang looked at Gu Chen and reported: "Mr. Gu, the survival rate of 40 mu of fruit trees is very high, almost reaching 50%. From transplanting to now, these fruit trees have grown for [-] to [-] days Yes, the gains are very good.

From March, the pear trees started to bloom first, and I saw that the fruiting rate was very high.The flowering period of peach trees and plum trees also began in late March, and they all bloomed one after another.For citrus trees, the flowering period begins in April and is expected to bloom until May.

According to my observation, these fruit trees grow very vigorously, and there is no problem at all due to transplantation.It can be said that this year's production should not decrease in any way, but instead increased due to the use of the nutrient solution provided by Mr. Gu.As for how much it can be improved, we have to wait until the flowering period is completely over to see the fruit setting rate. "

In fact, Li Dajiang, who has been doing farm work in the village for decades, was also shocked by this situation.

Before, he did not expect the survival rate of fruit trees to be so high, let alone the fruit setting rate.

After all, generally speaking, it is not bad if the fruit setting rate of the transplanted fruit trees in the first year can reach seven layers in normal years. In some cases, the fruit setting rate is less than three layers, and it will take at least the second year to recover.

In the past, Li Dajiang actually didn't have much expectations for the first year's harvest.

But he didn't expect Gu Chen to give him such a big surprise. In Li Dajiang's view, Gu Chen's skills are really amazing.

Thinking of this, Li Dajiang thought of the fruit tree nutrient solution that was watered when the fruit trees were transplanted.

At that time, it was the first time Li Dajiang heard of this fruit tree business liquid, but he did not expect the effect to be so good.

Therefore, Li Dajiang admired Gu Chen more and more.

Hearing the situation of the fruit trees, Gu Chen also laughed: "That's good, the fruit setting rate is so high, then in June, peaches and plums should be on the market. Also, about the pest control of fruit trees, birds If the sparrows bite, you have to take care of it and don't let the fruit go to waste. There are too many sparrows in the mountains here, and they like to eat fruits, so be careful."

Of course, Gu Chen, who has been living in the countryside, knows about this, because there were several fruit trees in his house before, and when the fruits were ripe, many sparrows would bite the fruits, resulting in many rotten fruits.

So now many fruits are covered with bags during the growth process, and this is used to prevent bird bites.

But this kind of behavior still has some influence on the fruit, for example, the light is not enough.

Gu Chen naturally does not want the fruit to be ruined, but he also hopes that the fruit will enjoy sufficient light so that the quality of the fruit can be the best.

Li Dajiang listened, and nodded with a smile: "Mr. Gu, don't worry. We have plans and measures in this regard, and we promise to minimize such losses as much as possible."

Gu Chen nodded, and continued to ask: "By the way, what's going on with the pheasant plan now?"

Li Dajiang thought for a while and said: "According to the plan, we divided the mountain forest of about [-] mu into five parts. Ten chicken coops were built in each part, which provided the running pheasants to rest at night. In addition, the corresponding The pool has also been repaired, and all the running water is introduced, which is very clean to ensure that these chickens will not get sick and polluted. We have also invested some manpower here to ensure that these chickens have enough exercise every day to make their meat more delicious. .

Up to now, we have put in a total of [-] chickens, and the mountain forest area occupies one third of them.In the future, another [-] units will be invested in two phases, and it is expected to be completed by the end of the month.We estimated that [-] chickens should be put into this thousand-acre mountain forest. If there are more, it will have a little impact on the ecology of the fruit forest. "

Gu Chen thought for a while, and said: "For a thousand-acre fruit forest, I feel that these [-] chickens are a bit small. Calculated based on the fact that the farm chickens are slaughtered every three to four months, the entire farm only slaughters [-] pheasants in a year. .And from now on, until August, only [-] chickens can be slaughtered every month. And because of the capacity here, only [-] chickens can be sold, and [-] chickens can continue to be invested. And these [-] chickens , not enough for the daily consumption of Chenxiang Roasted Chicken Chain Store in several southwestern provinces."

Hearing this, Li Dajiang smiled wryly and said: "Mr. Gu, if we want to ensure the quality, [-] chickens is the limit. After all, we are breeding pheasants, not using chicken farms to raise chickens. Chickens have a lot of exercise, so the breeding place must be large. If the breeding density is too high, it is not conducive to the growth of chickens. But after the third phase of the farm is developed, we can expand the area. If we can If it reaches [-] mu of mountain forest, it will be no problem to produce more than [-] per month."

Of course Gu Chen knew that it was impossible to improve the quality of chicken and increase the output.

However, I am still a little dissatisfied with this output, but now that the area of ​​the farm is so large, I can only wait for the third phase of the farm.

Therefore, there is not too much entanglement about this, and the output can be increased as much as possible.

"If this is the case, then we should try our best to arrange the third phase of the farm project, and Gu Bowen will also try to speed up the progress. In the future, we should increase the monthly output to [-] as soon as possible. In this way, we can basically meet the requirements of Chenxiang Roast Chicken By the way, how is the breeding of goats?"

Thinking of the main farming task, Gu Chen asked again.

The main task of breeding requires Gu Chen to complete the production of [-] chickens and [-] sheep within a year. According to the current situation, there is no problem with native chickens at all, and the next step is goats.

Li Dajiang said: "Mr. Gu, you also know that the breeding conditions for goats are higher, and our side is basically a mountain forest, and there is not much grassland. I took a look, and in the second and third phases of the farm, the combined grassland is It is less than 100 mu. Moreover, these pastures are divided into many parts, which is really not suitable for large-scale breeding. So until now, we have only introduced more than [-] goats."

Hearing this progress, Gu Chen felt dissatisfied.

Gu Chen frowned, and asked loudly: "Why didn't you report this matter to me earlier?"

Hearing Gu Chen's harsh tone, Li Dajiang immediately became a little anxious: "That's right, Mr. Gu. What you said before was to get some goats and try them out to see how the breeding is going. So I didn't pay much attention to this. Later, I thought that I had raised more than 100 cats, which should be enough, so I didn’t report the situation to you. I’m sorry, Mr. Gu, this is all my mistake.”

"Mr. Gu, I also made a mistake in this regard." Kong Yi'an, who was on the side, also said at this time.

After listening to Li Dajiang's justification, Gu Chen thought for a while and forgot exactly what he ordered.

So I didn't continue to get angry, and said: "Perhaps I didn't make it clear when I explained it before. But what I want to say now is that for goats, I require more than [-] goats to be slaughtered by the end of this year. Can you Can't complete this task?"

When Li Dajiang heard Gu Chen's words, the first half of the sentence made him feel relieved, but the latter sentence made him a little depressed.

It is not an easy task to raise [-] goats.Even if you choose a good breed of goats, it will take at least six months before they can be slaughtered.And now there are more than eight months until the end of the year, that is to say, by the end of June, at least [-] sheep must be raised on the farm.

The key is that there is not enough pasture on the farm now. Where can I get pasture for [-] sheep?

According to estimates, if there are [-] sheep, at least [-] to [-] acres of fences will be needed, and sheep houses will also be built.If it is a pasture, it needs at least one thousand acres of area.

Thinking of this, Li Dajiang thought about the situation of raising goats on the farm, and then said: "Huaxi Village is very suitable for raising goats. After all, there are more grasslands there. It can be seen from the fact that they raised cattle before. Mr. Gu, should we go over there to rent some grassland and raise goats?"

Hearing this, Gu Chen frowned, and said: "If you breed over there now, the project will be a bit heavy. So I still hope to breed on this side of the farm. This way, on the one hand, it will be easier to manage, and on the other hand, it will be easier to farm here." It’s also convenient for farming. By the way, isn’t there some wasteland on the side of the farm? Reclaim these wastelands to plant pastures, it’s fine.”

Hearing Gu Chen's proposal, Li Dajiang calculated in his mind, and then said: "There are still more than 1000 mu of wasteland on the second and third phases of the project. If it is reclaimed to plant grass, it should not be a big problem. If you add The area of ​​some original grasslands is estimated to be more than 700 to [-] mu. If this is the case, it should not be a big problem to divide these grasslands into several and raise [-] goats."

"Since that's the case, then it's settled like this. You, Lao Kong, are mainly responsible for this aspect. You, Li Dajiang and Gu Bowen, will implement the specific implementation. You must breed more than [-] sheep before the end of June. I'll just say a few, then breed Just [-]." Gu Chen finally said directly.

"Okay, no problem. I will definitely get this matter right, don't worry." Kong Yi'an nodded.

Gu Bowen also said: "I have no problem here."

Naturally, there is no problem with Li Dajiang, after all, Gu Chen cannot be disappointed this time.

At this moment, Gu Chen's phone rang.

"What! The village chief Lu is here?" Gu Chen saw that it was the old party secretary's call, and Gu Chen cried out in surprise after answering the call.

Gu Chen didn't expect that the mayor Lu would come at this time, it was indeed a bit sudden.

Gu Xing'an, the old branch secretary over there, said: "I just received a call from the head of Lu Township, and I guess they are almost here now. Gu Chen, where are you, are you free?"

Gu Chen thought for a while and said, "I'm dealing with things here at the farm, but the things here are not over yet, and it will probably take half an hour to pass. Why don't you talk to the village head Lu, the old party secretary, and I will When it's over here, go."

Hearing this, the old branch secretary could only say: "Okay, but you have to come here early, you can't make the village chief Lu wait too long."

Gu Chen nodded and said, "Don't worry, it will be an hour at most. I don't believe that the village head Lu will come here and leave after less than an hour."

"Hehe, only you can make the people above wait like this. You brat." The old branch secretary immediately laughed when he heard Gu Chen's words.

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
