Ye Mo's workers are all from rural areas and are familiar with farm work.
There isn't much work in the melon fields.
For Ye Mo's work, I had previously invited my second uncle, third uncle, and Tang Xun's family to come over. But to do the work, it doesn't just require a large number of people, it has to be efficient.
Xiaomian's parents also helped work in the melon fields. They worked until after eleven in the morning, went out after two in the afternoon, and finished work after seven... dozens of acres of melon fields were completed.
These people work really fast.
If we call the second uncle, third uncle and Tang Xun, they will probably only be able to do three-fifths of the work in one day.
Lin Shan took a notebook to record the time everyone worked, and looked at Ye Mo: "Go over tomorrow to help Tang Ming and his family fertilize their orchard?"
"Yeah. Uncle Tang and the others have been here to help for a long time. They are busy over there, so go over and help." Ye Mo said, "You don't have to go all of them. Just send the male workers over."
Lin Shan nodded.
The next day, Lin Shan took the male workers to the production team.
Ye Mo leads a female worker to prune the Jiabao fruit tree.
Ye Mo read on the Internet how to prune a Jiabao fruit tree, which said it should be 'round on the outside and hollow on the inside'.
Jiabao fruit mainly bears fruit on large branches and trunks, and the fruiting parts require ventilation and light transmission.
These Jiabao fruit trees are not well managed and have many small branches. Because they are not well managed, the fruiting parts are mainly on the main trunk. There are not many fruits inside the dense branches...
The branches of fruit trees include weak twigs, cross branches, clustered branches, etc. These branches are basically useless to Jiabao fruit. Instead, they will consume the nutrients of the fruit tree and cause the inside of the fruit tree to be unventilated.
Ye Mo demonstrated and explained to everyone in the orchard.
Lin Xiaomian was playing with the birds next to her. There used to be one little bird, but now there are two.
Xiaobai still likes to get close to Lin Xiaomian. The other slightly smaller Xiaobai will occasionally fly to Lin Xiaomian's shoulder...
The two shrike's calls were quite pleasant. Lin Xiaomian was playing with the birds next to them, attracting everyone's attention.
Ye Mo then distributed electric pruning shears to everyone and cut out a few templates for everyone to follow.
Leave large branches and cut off small branches, weak branches, etc. Just prune off a quarter of the clustered branches in the crown. Then use bamboo poles to prop up the remaining main branches to leave enough space for the main branches.
Jiabao fruit trees also grow very quickly when irrigated by Lingquan. Some Jiabao fruit trees that grow well need to be pruned using a ladder.
The two shrike flew away.
Lin Xiaomian also came over to get pruning shears and pruned the fruit trees carefully.
Ye Mo looked at the fruit trees that everyone was pruning from time to time. Seeing that everyone was getting started, he gave Lin Xiaomian a wink.
Lin Xiaomian was a little confused, walked over, and whispered: "What are you doing?"
"Go to Tang Xun's place and have a look."
"Is there anything good to see over there?"
"Mom, Xiaomian and I went over to Tang Xun's place to have a look." Ye Mo said.
"Go ahead."
"I picked all the Jiabao fruits on the tree after pruning the branches," Ye Mo said.
"You also picked the immature ones?"
"Yes, picked them all. These fruit trees are in bloom one after another, so there is no use in keeping them. All the small flowers on the trees have also been removed, and they will bloom and bear fruit later." Ye Mo said. The Jiabao fruits here are grown every few days.
A batch can be picked every day, but each batch is very small...
Prune the branches first, then fertilize and water them. The next batch of flowers should bloom more. When they mature again and have more flowers, they can be sold.
Xiaomian's mother didn't ask why, she just nodded.
Ye Mo pulled Lin Xiaomian and left Jiabao Orchard: "What are you doing?" Lin Xiaomian said: "Go to Tang Xun's house to work. They are fertilizing there. Do you want to go over and help fertilize?"
"Come over and play." Ye Mo said, "We have hired workers, so let's take it easy and be lazy if we can."
"But my mother..."
"You should tell Mom when you have time. We are all bosses." Ye Mo said, "Except for the urgent work in the melon field, you can do other work slowly. You can also tell your parents not to work too hard.
, take a rest when you need to.”
"This is so bad." Lin Xiaomian pursed her lips.
Ye Mo looked at her little appearance and said, "Stop snickering. You wish you could sleep at home every day."
Lin Xiaomian's beautiful eyes glanced at Ye Mo, and she laughed: "Let's go to Tang Xun's house to play."
The two of them washed their hands on the roadside, went home, changed their clothes, and drove to the mountains.
In the mango orchard next to the production team, mangoes have just begun to hang on the trees. Small mangoes as big as tiny are densely packed.
Their management here is better, preserving both flowers and fruits. Perhaps... plus Ye Mo's credit for pouring more than a thousand liters of spiritual spring into the reservoir, there are particularly many fruits on the trees.
On May Day, many people think of taking a vacation and traveling.
But in most rural areas, the May Day period is a busy farming time.
Some places are busy harvesting rapeseed, and some places are busy transplanting rice seedlings...
Over here, they are busy fertilizing the fruit trees and combing the fruits.
The mangoes on the tree are basically solid.
Regardless of habit or other fruit trees, after the flowers begin to wither, it is the fruit setting period. The fruits at this time are not firm, and if not managed well, these small fruits will easily fall off.
Only after a period of time, the melons and fruits that are still hanging and have not fallen off are the losers.
Fruits that are firmly planted will not fall off easily under normal circumstances.
But there are too many mangoes on the trees here, and the root system of the mango tree is not developed enough. There are too many fruits. If the fruits are not combed in time, the nutrients behind them will not be able to keep up, and the fruits will still fall off.
The people in the production team are busy sorting the fruits and applying fertilizer.
For fruit farmers, who doesn’t like the high yield of their fruit trees? But compared with high yield, quality... is actually more important.
The price of good-looking mangoes can vary several times.
Last year, the yield of mangoes here was about 400 jins per acre. This year... everyone is expecting a yield of more than 1,000 jins.
There are a lot of fruits on the tree, more than one thousand kilograms, which seems to be very easy now. But to ensure the quality, many people are still struggling with how many fruits should be left.
In the pomegranate garden here in Tangxun, you can still see sparse pomegranate flowers on the trees. There are more small pomegranates on the trees.
Ye Mo's parents, second uncle and third uncle are all here.
Lin Shan brought seven more strong laborers over...
Ye Ran and Chen Chen were driving an excavator in the orchard, digging fertilization pits. They just dug, not buried...
No matter how many holes you dig, fertilizer will come over later. Once the fertilizer is given, the holes will be filled in, which is very fast.
There are too many people and not enough life.
Zhang Xia and Wang Yue were sitting next to the orchard, drinking tea, chatting and raising their children.
"Zhang Xia, Sister Yue." Lin Xiaomian shouted.
Tang Tian saw Lin Xiaomian and stretched out her hand: "Ma'am, give me a hug."
Lin Xiaomian went over and hugged Tang Tian with a smile: "Xiao Tiantian, have you missed me?"
"think."
"You came just in time. I'm going to make lunch. Help me make lunch." Wang Yue looked at Lin Xiaomian and said.
"Look at what I'm wearing, how beautiful it is... I'm here to play and ask Zhang Xia to help you cook."
"Then help me take care of the baby."
"This is okay."
Tang Xun came over, carrying several large watermelons in the car and placing them next to the orchard: "Why are you here?"
"Come and take a look." Ye Mo said.
There were a lot of people here, so Wang Yue and the others went back to prepare lunch.
Tang Xun threw a cigarette to Ye Mo and said with a smile: "Look at the pomegranates here, there are a lot of them."
"What's the use of having too many knots? Your ability is to manage them." Ye Mo said.
"I heard Chen Chen say that they have to pick half of the mango trees there and throw them away, and then they have to select the fruits." Tang Xun said, "I feel that these pomegranate trees are quite big. Can I keep some more pomegranates?"
"I don't know." Ye Mo shrugged.
The management of pomegranates is different from that of mangoes.
If the mango is firmly planted, it will not fall off easily.
But pomegranate…
Pomegranates bloom a lot and drop a lot of flowers. The fruit setting period is relatively long...
The small pomegranates on the tree now should be in the fruit-setting stage. During the fruit-setting stage, the fruits are unstable and can easily fall off.
Ye Mo said: "When the technician comes back from vacation, you can ask."
"I read on the Internet that pomegranates are very easy to lose fruit. I'm afraid that after combing the fruit, the top fruit will start to fall again." Tang Xun said.
The pomegranate trees here are growing very well and have luxuriant branches. However, there are not many big branches, they are all small branches. I am afraid that if there are too many fruits, the tree will not be nutritious enough.
My cold didn't go away, so I went to get a shot today. I'm so annoyed.
