The two-lane asphalt road turns into a cement road. The cement road is more than 20 meters long. The house has a front and back yard, surrounded by their orchard. There is also a cement road connecting the warehouse from the front yard, which is more than 30 meters away from the house.
The layout of my parents' house is also very comfortable.
On the first floor, there is a bedroom with a dressing room, a large living room, a dining room and a kitchen.
On the second floor, there are two bedrooms with dressing rooms and bathrooms, a small living room, and a balcony.
The two bedrooms on the second floor were reserved for Ye Mo and Ye Ran, and their parents chose the first floor. Parents want the best for their children, no matter how old they are...
When I got home, my second aunt, third aunt, and Wang Yue also came over.
There is a long table in the restaurant that can accommodate eight chairs.
There were many people today, so everyone sat on plastic individual stools.
"Drink some wine." Dad came out with a beer.
"There's white fungus soup, forget it, don't drink," said the second uncle.
The third uncle also waved his hand: "After dinner, go over early and move the furniture, and go fishing in the reservoir. No more drinking."
No one drinks.
Moreover, there is also a pot of white fungus soup.
Ye Mo filled a bowl of white fungus, which contained red dates, wolfberry, fermented glutinous rice... The white fungus soup was already mild, and the sweetness and consistency were just right.
"How much furniture is left?" Wang Yue asked.
"Dad and his house have been installed. We just moved the furniture over there... After eating and taking a rest, we should be able to finish installing it by three or four o'clock." Tang Xun said.
Installing furniture is quick, but moving things takes time.
"We'll go over and help move it together later. It should be done soon," Ye Ran said.
"This white fungus soup is good." Ye Mo said.
"I stewed it." Wang Yue smiled and said, "Is it just right?"
Ye Mo gave Wang Yue a thumbs up: "You can even set up a stall to sell your Tremella Soup."
"We used to set up a stall selling white fungus and ice powder." Tang Xun said with a smile: "Would you like to learn? I will teach you for free."
"You have to learn how to stew white fungus. You look down on others."
"Hahaha……"
“There are also techniques to stew white fungus.”
This white fungus will definitely taste better if it is chilled in the refrigerator.
Ye Mo even drank two bowls of white fungus and got up to make some food.
Dad Tang asked about fruit picking.
Tang Xun and his family have 130 acres of pomegranates, and the yield per acre should be more than 300 kilograms, which is more than 20 tons.
"There aren't many fruits this year. I feel like we don't need to hire anyone. Our family will help pick them together and we can finish them in a few days." Dad Ye said, "It won't be a big problem if we pick a few days earlier or a few days later."
"Yeah." The second uncle and the others nodded and said, "We used to pick dozens of acres of mangoes ourselves."
Today's mango orchards are larger in area, but the yield is not high. Moreover, the orchards are flat, and the picked fruits can be loaded directly into the truck and taken away without having to carry them on your back.
"When will your mangoes be picked?" Dad Tang asked.
"It depends on the weather and the requirements of the fruit merchants." Dad Ye said, "The fastest is five to six days, and the latest is ten days."
"It's almost the same."
"Some of the pomegranates we have over there are already ripe," Father Tang said.
"What did the fruit merchant say?"
"We will start collecting in five days," Tang's father said.
"Let us know when it's time to pick. We'll go over and help you pick. We'll finish picking your pomegranates in two or three days." Yemu's father said with a smile.
That's more than twenty tons of pomegranates. With a large group of people here, they should be able to pick them all in less than a day.
In the past, in my hometown, Ye Mo and his family picked more than ten tons of mangoes a day. You must know that the mangoes there are on a steep slope, so it is very difficult to pick them.
"I'll go too." The second uncle said, "Anyway, your pomegranates should be picked first."
Tang Ming and Wang Hao said gratefully: "Thank you very much."
"Thank you. Ye Mo is clearing up wasteland, and you guys haven't gone over to help with it for a long time." Father Ye said.
"That's right, what are you thanking for."
"And for the subsequent pruning, do we have to invite someone over?"
"After the fruits are picked, Chen Shan will ask technicians who know durian management to come over. The technicians will explain to you how to prune and manage the branches. If we finish it first, we will go over and help." 2
The uncle said: "You can prune the branches later. Just prune the branches in December."
"Orchard management, to put it bluntly, is just that." Uncle San (Chen Chen's father) said: "Pruning branches, fertilizing, preserving flowers, preserving fruits... At the end of the year, the really busy time is only a few months. Normally, it's just a few months.
Walk around the orchard and pay attention to pests and diseases.”
"That's what I say, but you can't be sloppy in orchard management. You should often go to the orchard to take a look when you are free. Apply heavy fertilizer this year and prune the fruit trees well. The output will double or even triple next year. The orchard area is large.
If the output can be doubled or tripled, it will be a big income." Ye Mo's father said.
"Indeed... if we can achieve a yield of three to four thousand kilograms per mu, and dozens or hundreds of acres of orchards, it would be a bit fierce." The second uncle said: "The investment here can be repaid in one or two years."
With longing for a better future, Dad Ye suggested a drink: "Tremella fungus instead of wine, the more you drink, the better."
"Hahaha……"
After dinner, everyone sat and played cowhide for a while, and then continued to install furniture.
By four o'clock, it's all done.
Ye Mo visited Tang Xun's house and said, "In your backyard, it would be beautiful if you built a pavilion next to the swimming pool with grapes growing on it."
"I have this idea. In what month can grapes be cut?"
"I sold a few grape vines with roots online. I will build the pavilion this year and the grape vines will climb up next year." Ye Mo said: "Big grape vines with roots cost a few hundred yuan each, and you can buy them for three or four dollars."
One tree is enough."
"A few hundred yuan per tree is not money."
"You, Tang Fugui, are short of this little money."
"I, Tang Fugui, am good at everything." Tang Xun smiled and pressed Ye Mo's shoulder: "Let's go, let's go fishing."
Wang Yue, Ye Ran, Lin Xiaomian, Ye Ma and several aunts were sitting in the living room drinking tea and chatting.
"Where are dad and the others?" Ye Mo asked.
"Run away early."
"We also went fishing, shall we go together?" Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian.
Lin Xiaomian shook her head and said, "No, we will go out to buy groceries and prepare dinner later. What time will we have dinner?"
"Let's go later. At half past seven..." Ye Mo said.
It's past four o'clock now. If you go fishing, you can't just fish for an hour or two and then come back.
I went out and drove and walked straight...
The two-lane asphalt road in the large orchard in the countryside is "comfortable" when driving on it. There are pomegranates on both sides of the road, some of which are still white and blue, but some of the pomegranates have already turned red.
The pomegranate they have here is TNS.
These pomegranates have not been managed well. It seems that they are not combed. They are as small as three or four ounces, and there are even smaller ones, with the big ones weighing more than a pound.
The average fruit weight is six to seven liang per fruit.
The fruit market is very good this year. In the summer, the cheapest price is more than one yuan per catty. Better watermelons cost two to three yuan per catty.
The pomegranates here are really not that good. Compared with those in the main pomegranate-producing areas in Spring City, they are not even the slightest bit worse.
The pomegranates in the main production area of Chuncheng generally weigh about 1 catty. This year, the pomegranates in Chuncheng have made money. It is said that the slightly better ones cost more than seven yuan per catty.
The price of fruit changes every year, which is like a roller coaster ride.
Spring City's pomegranates are very famous...
The most famous thing in Huacheng is mango, and the most famous thing in Spring City is pomegranate.
