The mango picking in Changzhu Village has already begun, and now they are all sold out.
Aunt Xiaomian planted nine acres of hillside mangoes, Kate mango... one and six dollars per catty.
The total output is less than 3,000 kilograms.
The price of Katemang is 1.6 yuan per catty. In terms of this year’s market, the price is slightly low. But compared with the overall market, it’s pretty good. It’s much worse than the previous one, but a little better than the lower one.
The roads in Changzhu Village are very good, and there is no problem of inconvenient transportation. There are two reasons for not selling at a high price. One is that the quality is not good, and the other is that fruit merchants are waiting to come to ask for prices and go it alone.
Chen Shan is now the deputy village chief of Changzhu Village. He originally contacted a large fruit merchant for the village.
Changzhu Village mainly grows pomegranates, and then mangoes.
The 10 production teams have planted a total of about 2,700 acres of mangoes, about 1,000 acres of Kate mangoes, and more than 3,000 acres of pomegranates...
There are many varieties of local mangoes, and the quality of the orchards varies widely. Some orchards are good and some are not. But they all have one characteristic: the yield of a single orchard is low.
It was already September when I contacted the fruit dealer, and the mangoes at the foot of the mountain were about to be picked.
It is too troublesome to quote each orchard individually.
The fruit merchant took a rough look and gave an overall price of two yuan per catty. For pomegranates, the price was 2.5 yuan per catty.
Poor orchards will naturally be very satisfied with this price. But good orchards will not be willing to pay if the price of poor orchards is the same as their own orchards.
In the end, bad orchards are willing to sell, but good orchards are not willing to sell.
Then, when the fruit merchant saw this, he naturally became unwilling.
This is not a large fruit-producing area. Moreover, the fruit output of each family is only 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms at most. The less is only a few thousand kilograms...
Negotiating prices door to door takes too much time.
In the past, in Huangtupo Village, fruit merchants were willing to negotiate prices door-to-door. That was because each household had a certain amount of output, and more importantly, the quality was good.
Then, the contract was not negotiated.
Madam Xiaomian's mangoes are relatively well managed. They didn't agree with the price of 2 yuan per catty before, but they also agreed. As a result, their mangoes are divided into large, medium and small and sold separately, and the average price is only 1.6 yuan per catty.
.
For other well-managed mango orchards, the average price does not exceed 2 yuan per catty.
As for those mango orchards with poor management, the price per catty is just over one yuan.
During the mango production season, if the mangoes on the trees are not signed in advance, the price will be one per day.
…
On Gaoshanping side, two reservoirs are in the final stage.
Ye Mo and the others started planting durian seedlings.
Second uncle's family, Chen Chen's family, and Tang Xun's family are all helping.
Women are responsible for planting and men are responsible for laying water pipes.
"The villages at the foot of the mountain have suffered a big loss. In the past, they were unwilling to sell pomegranates for two yuan and a half per catty, but now they are selling for two yuan and three per catty, and everyone is rushing to sign the contract," said the third uncle.
"I suffered a loss when selling mangoes before, and I still haven't learned my lesson," said Dad Ye.
More than three thousand acres of pomegranates are being picked and sold to the fruit dealer Chen Shan hired.
"What's the price from our production team?" Ye Mo asked.
"Each orchard negotiates individually." Dad Ye threw a drip irrigation head and said, "Our mangoes cost 2.4 yuan per catty."
Their output per mu is small, but the area is large. Fruit dealers used to go door-to-door to negotiate with the fruit farmers in their production team...
"Absolutely. Our family is the same..." Chen Chen said.
"Where's the pomegranate?" Ye Mo looked at Tang Xun and the others.
Tang Xun's father smiled and said, "The pomegranates over there are expensive, and we paid 2.7 yuan per catty."
"Pomegranates are more expensive than mangoes." Chen Chen felt heartbroken when he thought about exchanging 1.5 acres of pomegranate orchards for 1 acres of mango orchards.
"Pomegranates are more expensive than mangoes, it's normal." Tang Xun chuckled.
The quality of the mangoes on the top of the mountain is very average. After all, they are fruit trees in a large park with the same management...
"The yield of a single pomegranate plant is lower than that of mango. The management cost of a pomegranate orchard is higher than that of a mango orchard." Tang Xun's father-in-law said.
One acre of pomegranate orchard, 75 trees.
One acre of mango orchard, 45 trees.
Regardless of the amount of fertilizer applied or workload... there are more pomegranate orchards than mango orchards.
"Isn't it too wasteful for you to plant 8 durian trees per acre?" Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo and asked.
"Don't waste it. Just wait until these durians grow up." Ye Mo said: "In the past few years, durian orchards could also be planted with watermelons."
Ye Mo plans to plant watermelons on a large scale next year to make a fortune.
Referring to this year's watermelon planting experience, one melon seedling grew to a huge size without much management after applying twenty or thirty kilograms of organic fertilizer.
Ye Mo didn't manage the watermelons very much, but he watered the watermelons with spiritual springs many times.
The spiritual springs in Lingquanjing were all used up by Ye Mo, who used them to water coconut seedlings and cultivate durian seedlings.
Start accumulating spiritual liquid now.
After Ye Mo's calculations, about 15 liters of spiritual spring can be restored every day.
And there is no need to enter the space, just a thought and inject the Qi in the body into the beads.
For this year's watermelon, Ye Mo used 25 barrels of Lingquan. The amount used was relatively large, so the effect was so good.
A 20-liter bucket is about 500 liters. Each melon seedling contains 6 liters.
Ye Mo wanted to see the effect of Lingquan on melons and fruits, so he used so much watermelon. The watermelons were ripe, and the largest one weighed more than two hundred kilograms... and the overall effect was particularly good. This also proved that Lingquan can indeed
It promotes plant growth and has a particularly good effect on fruits and melons.
From now to March next year, there will be 2,700 liters of spiritual springs. Ye Mo plans to use these spiritual springs to cultivate watermelons.
If the technology is not enough, Lingquan will help.
The spiritual spring is in my hand, and the world is in my hand.
Ye Mo is quite arrogant now, thinking about how to use these spiritual springs to get rich overnight and build a big villa.
If you want to get rich overnight, you can't just grow watermelons.
"Hey, how are the lobsters in your reservoir doing?" asked the second uncle.
"fine."
"How many are reproduced?"
"A lot." Dad Ye said, "We need to feed more than three hundred kilograms of feed every day. We can hardly keep those crayfish."
"More than three hundred kilograms of feed a day is okay." Tang Xun said with a smile: "Doesn't that mean that the crayfish in the reservoir now weighs five to six thousand kilograms?"
"I don't know the exact number. Anyway, it's a lot..." Ye Mo said.
It was getting late in the evening, and when work was over, Ye Mo and the others went to the reservoir. They could see crayfish everywhere on the water plants and on the water plants on the shore.
It has only been more than a month since the crayfish hatched, and they are already as big as a thumb. There are a lot of them...
You can see crayfish everywhere along the reservoir.
Occasionally, you can see larger female lobsters.
"How long will it take for these lobsters to be sold?" Chen Chen asked.
"It will be sold in just over a month."
"So fast." Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo.
"Lobsters fed with feed can be sold in three to four months," Ye Mo said.
The number of egg-bearing shrimps released before was high, and the survival rate after hatching was also high. You need to buy a batch next month, otherwise there will be too many and the aquatic plants will be eaten up, which will be bad.
The aquatic plant planted in the reservoir is called Hydrilla verticillata. Later, Ye Mo brought back some Eichhornia crassipes, giant duckweed, and Elodea.
The area with aquatic plants in the entire reservoir exceeds fifteen acres.
But there are too many lobsters. When I came in the evening, I saw crayfish everywhere.
Next month, that is, November, a large amount of crayfish will be sold. A small amount will be left to enter the free-range stage.
