It's sour, but having a wealthy brother like Ye Mo is really good.
Ye Ran laughed and said, "You called me here, didn't you just want to decorate the villa for me?"
"Some of the durian seedlings and coconut trees have died. I am going to transplant the durian trees in the melon field to fill the gaps." Ye Mo said: "I saw that Chen Chen, Ye Zhi and Tang Xun all wanted to try planting watermelons.
, if you plant melons and these, I will leave some land for you."
Chen Chen had told her about this before.
Originally, I wanted to contract the land on the gravel slope. The gravel slope is a large area of barren hills and shallow hills with sparse vegetation. If we could contract it, there would be a lot of land that could be reclaimed.
"Forget it here. You can use the land here yourself. We will contract the gravel slope and reclaim the wasteland ourselves," Ye Ran said.
"Isn't it true that we can't contract the gravel slope?" Ye Mo said.
As Chen Chen said before, the gravel slope cannot be contracted because the local ecology must be protected.
"Only two small valleys and shallow hills and flat dams are contracted." Ye Ran said: "The hillside area cannot be contracted, but some land close to the village can be contracted."
I asked before and was told that to protect the local ecology, that land cannot be contracted out.
Uncle Chen Chen is the deputy village chief of their production team, and by the end of the year... he should be the village chief. Chen Shan found someone to study carefully. It is not that the land on the gravel slope cannot be developed, but the total area that can be developed is only one hundred.
About acres.
A large area of barren mountainous and uninhabited land, the total area is estimated to be about one thousand acres, not the five or six hundred acres that Ye Mo had visually estimated before.
It is not a big problem to find a flat area of about 100 acres to cultivate land.
There are villages below the gravel slope, and they belong to Changzhu Village. They are Team 4, Team 5...
Most of the people in these two production teams have moved out, and large areas of previously cultivated mountainous land have been abandoned.
The abandoned land ranges from 100 acres to 70 to 80 acres. However, the areas of abandoned land are very small, scattered here and there.
"Chen Chen is still running to contract the land on the gravel slope. If we can get the contract, we will go to the gravel slope to open up wasteland. If we can't get the contract, we will rent the mountainous land that the fourth and fifth teams have abandoned..." Ye Ran said: "You are so stupid
You can plant the land on the side yourself."
"Growing watermelons and muskmelons... is not as simple as it seems." Ye Mo said: "Not only in China, but also around Huacheng, there are many watermelons growing. However, the watermelons and muskmelons grown can be sold at high prices, which is rare.
."
"You can give us some guidance after we get it done." Ye Ran said, "We have never thought about becoming a big fat man like you, just... we can make money, that will be fine."
Ye Mo nodded: "No matter what business you are in, you can only make money by being at the top. Planting watermelons and cantaloupes can make money, but they are all top-notch. The same goes for growing mangoes... Tell Chen Chen
, Don’t put the cart before the horse. They have more than 150 acres of mangoes, not to mention top-notch mangoes. As long as they have the average yield and quality of Dongmen Town, they will have an output value of more than 2 million yuan a year."
"You know, the fundamental thing is your own orchard. Planting watermelons, cantaloupes, etc., mainly takes advantage of the time spent managing the orchard."
"Like Chen Chen's orchard, how much time is there in a year? The same goes for Ye Zhi and Tang Xun's family."
Not exactly.
The busy time of farming in the orchard is in October, which is the time after picking and harvesting. And after March of the following year, until May...
Fruit picking, fruit fertilization... I will definitely need to hire someone for these in the future.
Flowering period management and fruit setting period management are things to do, and they are actually pretty good.
For example, in Baohua, many people in the village purchased large sprayers. One sprayer can treat two to three hundred acres of orchards a day. The sprayer can also spray pesticides, foliar fertilizers, etc.
Tang Xun’s family bought one. If their orchard needs spraying, it can be done in one day. After that, the sprayer can be used to make money...
As far as orchards are concerned, the really busy months are only a few months. During the rest of the time, you can just ask people to come in for pesticides, flower protection, foliar fertilizers, etc.
"Everyone is stimulated by you. There are still many people in our village who want to grow watermelons, cantaloupes, etc." Ye Ran said.
"It's up to you. If you can make more money, it will definitely be good." Ye Mo said.
"Can you give us some of the reticulated melon seeds you left? There are also cantaloupe seeds." Ye Ran asked.
Ye Mo nodded: "The emerald melons I bought are hybrid varieties. Although some seeds were left, I don't know if they will be good after they are planted. The only relatively stable varieties now are large watermelons." There are still no other seeds.
Tried.
I have left some seeds in Netted Melon Leaf Mo. Ye Mo will be ready to take the seeds in a while. I will plant some first and take a look. The same goes for other seeds...
After chatting with Ye Ran for a long time, Ye Mo went over to drive an excavator and dig out the durian trees around the melon fields.
Carpenter Liu and others are responsible for loading and transportation.
Carpenter Zhang and Master Li are digging a hole...
The planting density of durian trees is inherently low. If one tree dies, an area of more than 100 square meters will be vacant. Such a large area must be filled...
…
In the afternoon, Ye Mo arranged for Master Li to drive a lawn mower. Among this group of people, he was the only one with a driver's license...
Although you don't need a driver's license to drive a lawn mower, those who know how to drive can learn how to operate a lawn mower.
Song Damin used a straight lawn mower to mow the corners of the orchard, and Ji Zhicai also went to the coconut grove to collect fallen leaves from the coconut trees.
The leaves of coconut trees are very large. If they are thrown directly in the orchard, they will not rot easily. The leaves of these coconut trees are collected and put into a grinder. After being crushed, they become natural organic fertilizer...
Carpenter Liu, Carpenter Zhang, Zhou Yue and Wang Long continue to transplant durian trees.
The female workers continued to prune the Jiabao fruit tree, and later the miracle fruit, and the durian tree also had to be pruned...
There are many things.
…
As for the melon fields.
After an interval of two to three days, gather everyone into the melon field. The work in the melon field cannot be delayed for a moment...
The work here in Gaoshanping is not heavy work now. But there is a lot of work that needs to be done. Arrange the urgent work that cannot be postponed in the front, such as pruning, which is not urgent. Do it later.
It’s okay to do things first, or even wait until the end of the year to prune.
However, these current jobs are all unfamiliar to everyone. None of them find it easy, and they feel even harder than being a plasterer...
In fact, it's normal. When you change jobs, you have to adapt. Once you get used to it, you'll be fine.
This group of people works very quickly. Plus Xiaomian's parents, Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian... there are 19 people in Gaoshanping, which is about the same as when the second uncle and the third uncle came to help.
Before, the second uncle, the third uncle, the Tang Xun family, plus Xiaomian and the others... in total, as well as Xiaomian's parents... at most, there were 20 people going to the fields.
Now, Ye Mo hired 15 workers, plus Xiaomian's parents, Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian, that is, 19 people, but the work efficiency is much faster.
I work eight hours a day, leaving at 7 a.m. and finishing work at 11 o'clock. I leave at 3 o'clock in the afternoon and finishing work at 7 o'clock... Not to mention the work in the melon field, there are other jobs in Gaoshanping, so I can follow suit.
