Ye Mo rode his bike out for a spin. When he came back, he was about to go to bed. He took out his cell phone and sent Lin Xiaomian a text message: "What are you doing?"
Lin Xiaomian quickly replied to the text message: "Take a nap. How about you?"
"I just went out for a walk in the orchard and am ready to take a nap." Ye Mo sent a message.
"You are planting coconut trees there, are you sure they can survive?" Lin Xiaomian said.
"It should be possible. There are quite a lot of coconut trees planted in Huacheng." Ye Mo said, "It's not a big problem for planting."
"oh."
Chatted for a while and took a nap.
It's June.
The sun is already very strong during the day.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, we continued to work, continued to open up wasteland, planted coconut seedlings, and laid water pipes.
Previously, 652 acres of coconut palms were covered by sprinkler irrigation. The main coverage area was the valley and the small hills surrounding the valley.
Now a total of eight to nine hundred acres have been cleared.
The orchard behind uses drip irrigation...
Ye Mo tested drip irrigation.
Using drip irrigation, more than 100 acres can be irrigated at a time. For drip irrigation, a main switch is installed for an area of 100 acres.
It was busy until evening when the workers left.
Ye Ran and Ye Mo each have a battery car.
Ye Ran went to water the orchard...
For sprinkler irrigation, one main switch only covers an area of 20 acres. The water flow is still relatively large, and the soil can be soaked through sprinkler irrigation in just ten minutes.
In the local area, if it is a mature orchard, generally speaking, there is no need for irrigation in summer, natural rainfall is enough. But for newly planted seedlings, soil moisture must be maintained...
Ye Mo went to the warehouse, filled a small bucket of spiritual spring from the space, mixed it with water and put it into the sprayer.
The sprayer, used to apply pesticides, has a capacity of 500 liters and is installed on an electric tricycle. This is the equipment left by the previous orchard owner...
Ye Mo used a sprayer to water the durian seedlings.
Some of the cut durian seedlings have sprouted buds. When watered with spiritual springs, the effect is particularly obvious.
For two to three acres of seedlings, Ye Mo bought 6 boxes of water, each box containing 500 liters, which is a total of 3 tons.
Make sure the soil in the cup is soaked.
It was getting dark, and Ye Ran rode over on his bicycle: "Are you done?"
"Right away." And finally, a few minutes.
"Go back and eat."
"You go back first, I'll be right away."
After Ye Mo finished doing it, he came home. The food had been laid out and his parents were all eating.
"The money to buy Yumin Orchard has been collected. Tomorrow I will go to the town to pay the money, register, and then it will be about dividing the land." Dad Ye said.
"I can't manage such a large area here." Ye Mo said: "I don't know why you bought an orchard."
"What's yours is yours, what's ours is ours. Sooner or later you will get married, and you will have different families in the future..." Mother Ye said.
"What are you planting here? There are more than 2,000 acres of land. I don't know if I can support your family in the future." Dad Ye still has a lot of objections to Ye Mo's planting of coconut trees and durians.
After dinner, Ye Mo drove the pickup truck out and continued watering the orchard.
It takes ten minutes to water every 20 acres. During the watering time, Ye Mo returned to the car and took out his mobile phone and called Wang Yue: "Hi, brother and sister."
"ah?"
"The funds have been collected. Has Village Chief Chen Shan informed you?"
"I've informed you, let's go to the town government of Hongshan Town tomorrow to formally sign the contract and make the payment." Wang Yue said: "We just said we would give you a call."
"You all know the specific things, right?"
"clear."
"That's fine. Do you really want to replace all the mango orchards with pomegranate orchards?" Ye Mo said.
"For us, planting mangoes and pomegranates are almost the same. We hope it is a large continuous piece of land." Wang Yue pressed the speakerphone, and Tang Xun's voice came from inside: "I asked your brother,
He said he would help us ask and try to connect our orchards together."
"I asked him too. But 1 mu for 2 mu is a bit much."
Tang Xun said: "We want to make the area as large as possible and open B&Bs and farmhouses in the future. We have joined the group. We have talked about the land replacement in the group and someone is willing to exchange 1.3 acres. We will see the details when the time comes..."
"Okay. Come over for lunch tomorrow."
"Yes." Tang Xun said with a smile: "By the way, if you buy the orchard, do you have to manage it? The fruit trees over there are all bearing fruit..."
"At this time, if there are no problems in the orchard, there is no need to manage it. Just wait for the fruits to mature. But it is best to leave people to watch over there. The pomegranates here should be ripe in September. Leave people to watch and prevent the fruit trees from growing.
Pests and diseases." Ye Mo said.
"Yeah, okay. I'll ask my father-in-law to go over and watch..." Tang Xun chuckled and said, "It's a good time to buy the orchard, and it also comes with a season's harvest."
"Those fruits are not many."
"No matter what, it's still a harvest, right?"
Ye Mo watered area after area. It was after 12 o'clock in the evening that more than 600 acres of coconut forest were all watered.
The purchase of Yumin Orchard and the relocation of the village have made rapid progress.
the next morning.
Ye Mo's father went to the town government and gave him a contract to sign and pay.
After 11 o'clock in the morning, with the assistance of the town government, the land delivery of Yumin Orchard was completed.
This kind of thing cannot be delayed because it involves many investors. If you delay for time, problems will easily occur. You need to cut through the mess quickly, the sooner the better.
There are 89 investors in total, that is, 89 households...
There are 78 households in Huangtupo Village, and there are 11 more households. The situation is similar to that of Tang Xun's family, who came to form a partnership.
Noon.
Uncle Ye Mo's family, Chen Shan's family, Chen Chen's family, and former neighbors of Ye Mo's family came over to play.
Including the people working on Ye Mo's side, three tables were set up at noon.
Yumin Orchard has changed its name, and the relocated villagers will be merged into Changzhu Village and become Changzhu Village Group 11.
In this way, Changzhu Village has become the largest village in Hongshan Town.
The former village chief became the deputy village chief and captain of the production team.
Behind it is the divided orchard.
Ye Mo's family bought 36 acres of mango orchards and was allocated 27 acres of pomegranate orchards.
Everyone wants the full-length orchard.
Whether you manage mangoes or pomegranates, the most important thing is to make money. For fruit farmers, it doesn’t matter what they grow.
It's just that the people in their original village have always grown mangoes and don't know how to manage pomegranate orchards, so they prefer to have mango orchards.
There are also 11 outdoor villagers, and they don’t have much requirements as to whether they want a mango or pomegranate orchard.
After discussion, the mango orchard was exchanged for a pomegranate orchard... One acre of mango orchard can be exchanged for 1.5 acres of pomegranate orchard. This made some families who had always grown mangoes become interested.
The entire land allocation process is very complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few words.
Mango orchards and pomegranate orchards are mainly orchards that are three to six years old. Some orchards have already produced fruit, but some orchards have not yet produced fruit.
How to allocate these orchards is a headache.
Moreover, each family’s orchard area is different.
This also involves regional issues. Some areas have convenient transportation. Some orchards are more remote.
Ye Mo was busy with land reclamation and didn't look at how to allocate the orchards. In the end, he decided to allocate them by drawing lots...
The smaller the lottery number, the priority will be given to the location of the orchard.
After the lottery is drawn, everyone can also exchange or trade lottery numbers.
The principle of land allocation is to try to allow everyone to have a complete large-area orchard. After the allocation is completed, the road will be expanded according to the actual situation. When the time comes, land will be needed...
By exchanging lottery numbers, we try our best to get everyone a satisfactory piece of land.
Tang Xun exchanged the mango orchard, exchanged it with Ye Mo's parents, and exchanged it with Chen Chen and the others... He got a total of 135 acres of pomegranate orchard. The pomegranate orchard was at the southernmost part of the mountain, which is on the right hand side of the gate.
Next to the mountain, the reservoir is on the far left and Tang Xun's orchard is on the far right.
The slope on that side is relatively steep, but it is close to the big hillside and the scenery is very good. On the top of a mountain, you can see the rolling mountains in the distance...
If you build a B&B, the location is very good.
Father Ye, Uncle Second, and Chen Chen are a large family. Their orchards are in the central area. Several families have orchards next to each other and plan to become neighbors in the future.
