Ye Mo built the sunshade net at a height of about two meters to provide sunshade and cooling.
Then use spiritual spring water to water...
I feel like I haven’t done much and it’s already noon.
I read online that durian seedlings can be grown from cuttings. I don’t know what the survival rate is.
Ye Mo washed his hands and drove down the mountain.
The nearest neighbor to Ye Mo is a Sanheyuan tile-roofed house, which raises native chickens.
Ye Mo passed by before and saw the host feeding native chickens with corn and millet. When he came to the other party's door, Ye Mo honked the horn a few times...
After a while, a middle-aged woman walked out: "Who are you?"
"Hello, I am a neighbor who lives in the mountains and has just moved here." Ye Mo said, "I saw that your family has chickens. Do you want to sell them? I want to buy one."
"Sell." The woman nodded.
"How much does it cost per pound?"
"This is an authentic native chicken. I grew up eating millet and corn. I sell it in town for 40 yuan per catty. If you come over and buy it, it's 38 yuan."
"Okay. Help me pick a fat one..."
The man in the room came over: "Who is it?"
"Neighbors who go up the mountain." The woman pointed to Gaoshanping and said.
"Hello, brother, my name is Ye Mo. I just moved here and I will live here from now on." Ye Mo said, taking out cigarettes and lighting one for his brother.
"Hello. My name is Liu Bin, and my wife's name is Zheng Xiaomei."
"Brother Liu..." Ye Mo shouted with a smile: "By the way, are you busy during this time?"
"Just some work in the fields."
"I need to plant some seedlings over there. If my eldest brother and sister-in-law are not busy, they can go to my place to help. The price is negotiable," Ye Mo said.
"What exactly do you do when cutting seedlings?"
"Prune the branches of the branches. Cut the branches to 15 centimeters, and bevel the bottom... Then make a soil cup with organic fertilizer. Work in the warehouse and you will not be exposed to the sun."
"That's it, it's pretty easy. We have time... I'll give you the wages as you see fit."
"I just came here and I don't know much about the wages here. Do you think this will work? From 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., it will cost 260 yuan per person per day. It's not a heavy job. It's not necessary.
Labor," Ye Mo said. In his hometown, hiring people to do work basically starts at three hundred yuan. But the work is all heavy work...
Just planting seedlings in a cup is an easy job.
"Okay." Liu Bin nodded: "Just two people, right?"
"The work of cutting seedlings is a bit urgent and we still need some manpower. I will look for them later."
"How many people do you want? I'll call for you."
"10 people."
"Okay, I'll call for you and come over tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, brother." Ye Mo clasped his hands and said with a smile.
"This is a slack time for farming, so we have no other work except watering the orchards," Liu Bin said with a smile.
"I still have to thank you. I just came here and am not familiar with the place. I will have to trouble Brother Liu with some things in the future."
Zheng Xiaomei caught the native chicken and weighed it. It was 3 kilograms and 3 taels.
These are just free-range chickens, silky chickens... Liu Bin settled the bill for Ye Mo and only charged him 100 yuan.
Zheng Xiaomei just said 40 yuan per catty, but in fact it was not sold at that high price. The price in town was between 35 yuan and 40 yuan.
Ye Mo's family also raised chickens before, and the chickens they raised were wood-fired chickens, which cost more than 20 yuan per catty.
Chai chickens are also free-range chickens, but they are not considered native chickens.
Native chickens are breeds, not breeding methods. Except for a few native chicken varieties, most native chickens can grow to about three pounds, and larger ones can grow to four pounds.
Ye Mo transferred the money using WeChat, took the chicken and left.
Back on the mountain, Ye Mo threw the native chicken into the cage and made lunch.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, so Ye Mo went back upstairs to turn on the air conditioner and lay on the bed to scroll through Douyin.
I brushed and brushed and fell asleep.
Wake up after three o'clock, take the seeds of paradise grass and go out.
Before the grass seeds I bought were sown, news of land acquisition came.
Drive to the durian tree.
There were more than 30 durian trees that were transported intact. They were all big trees bearing fruit, so the branches were cut and kept intact.
The remaining durian tree is only 2 meters tall, a stump with large branches grafted on it.
Durian is relatively heavy, and the branches that bear fruit need to be relatively strong.
After transplanting, the density of durian trees is 8X8 meters, leaving a lot of space for growth.
There have been several thunderstorms this year, but the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light.
It never rained heavily.
Calculating the time, it should rain heavily.
The weather forecast also said there would be heavy rain...
Ye Mo mixed grass seeds with organic fertilizer and sprinkled it on the ground, waiting for a heavy rain.
After four o'clock, the car came down the mountain.
Ye Ran drove her Dolphin and stopped when she saw Ye Mo: "Brother."
Ye Mo put down what he was doing and walked over: "Where are the things?"
"later."
A truck and a pickup truck came from behind.
"Brother." Chen Chen got out of the pickup truck and shouted.
"I bought a new car." Ye Mo smiled and nodded.
"A car worth hundreds of thousands..." Chen Chen said with a smile.
Went to the warehouse and unloaded the things.
These are the water pipes Ye Mo bought online.
The inner diameter of the water pipe is 25X2.3 mm, and the national standard is thickened. The length of a pipe is 200 meters... 370 yuan per piece.
Ye Mo bought a total of 60 sticks and loaded them into a large cart.
There are also connectors, nozzles, glue, etc. on the car.
Ye Mo had asked someone about the price of drip irrigation for an orchard before. One acre of drip irrigation would cost around 5,000 if it was done well.
Then Ye Mo searched for water pipes and other things on the Internet, and decided to make his own sprinkler irrigation.
If you do it yourself, you can finish it for less than two thousand yuan per acre. The quality is not bad compared to orchard irrigation. It is even better...
If you can do it yourself, try to do it yourself.
After unloading the things, Ye Mo pulled Ye Ran and Chen Chen to help him with the work.
Durian trees are planted less densely and occupy a larger area.
There are 571 durian trees covering an area of 55 acres.
"You are so rich, why can't you find an easy job?" Ye Ran complained under the bright sun.
"Do you understand the principle of first bitterness and then sweetness?" Ye Mo rolled his eyes at her.
"In this place where nothing matters, I think... there's really no need to invest so much." Ye Ran said, "You said you were going to Hainan earlier, and I felt pretty good about it, but suddenly I changed my mind."
Ye Mo has thought about going to Hainan. It is a tropical area with abundant rainfall every year... it should be a good place.
But when going to Hainan, all Ye Mo can grow is durian.
As for other fruit trees, they are all there.
Ye Mo doesn't know how long it will take for durians to bear fruit again in the future.
After comprehensive consideration, Ye Mo still chose to stay.
Here, Ye Mo can plant coconut trees. If the cultivation is successful, the price of coconuts in their local area will definitely be more expensive than those in Hainan.
An adult coconut tree is said to be able to bear about 50 trees.
Plant 25 coconut trees on 1 acre of land.
The coconuts produced here are sold locally...
It shouldn't be difficult to sell them for 15 yuan or 20 yuan each.
As long as coconuts can be produced in a large area, it will be built into a leisure and sightseeing orchard, which will definitely attract many tourists.
Coconut trees are not uncommon, but in Huacheng, the large area of coconut grove is very interesting.
To be honest, it’s not easy to be a fruit farmer.
Except for some fruit farmers who can make money by taking advantage of the advantages of production areas, most fruit farmers can't make more money than working part-time.
If you want to make money as an orchard, you must have your own characteristics.
