Early in the morning, Xiaomian's parents packed their luggage and loaded it into the car.
Ye Mo and Xiaomian's father walked ahead.
Lin Xiaomian drove the car, followed by her mother.
It was quite a distance from Xiaomian's house to Hongshan Town. When they came to the national highway, Ye Mo slowed down and followed Lin Xiaomian...
The whole journey is more than 70 kilometers, with many mountainous roads, and it takes nearly two hours to walk.
Lin Xiaomian drove the car to her eldest lady.
"Uncle, go directly to my place." Ye Mo said.
"Yeah." Lin Shan nodded.
When I got home, there were many guests at home.
Ye Mo's second uncle, brother-in-law, uncle and aunt, and old cousin all came over.
Tang Xun and his wife, Tang Xun’s parents...
Chen Chen’s family, Chen Chen’s uncle, second uncle, etc., and some people I don’t know...
In previous years, Ye Mo's parents would invite relatives over for a meal on their birthday, but there weren't many people.
There is almost no room left at home.
If I had known that so many people were coming, I should have gone to the farmhouse in town to take care of things.
"Dad, Mom." Ye Mo shouted.
Father Ye came out and said with a smile: "My father-in-law is here."
Lin Shan smiled coquettishly and took out the cigarettes and wine he had brought.
"We're not playing cards. Ye Mo and his uncles are making golden flowers upstairs, let's play together." Father Ye led Lin Shan upstairs.
Ye Mo's two cousins, two cousins, and Tang Xun... more than a dozen people were hiding in Ye Mo's room, blowing on the air conditioner, and tying gold flowers.
"Who won the money?" Ye Mo asked.
"Of course it's me." Cousin Zhang Feng said with a smile: "Where is my old cousin-in-law?"
"Come here in a moment." Ye Mo said, taking out cigarettes and passing one to each of them.
"No smoking is allowed." Ye Ran said, "It will cause smoke and dust..."
There are not only men in the room, but also women. Wang Yue and two old cousins are here.
"Ye Mo, you should consider building a big house. The area of this house is too small. With so many of us coming here, we don't even have a place to sit." Tang Xun said with a smile.
"I also want to build a big house, but I don't have the money." Ye Mo spread his hands.
Everyone laughed.
"I see you got a big white bucket on the top of the mountain. What is it used for?" Tang Xun asked.
"Make water and fertilizer." Ye Mo said: "The orchard needs water and fertilizer."
Look at the coconut trees that have been watered by Lingquan, especially the ones transplanted from my hometown. If they are managed well, they might bear fruit next year.
Work harder and get the orchard ready.
"Let me see that bucket. It's quite big. How much water can it hold?" Tang asked.
He now decided to concentrate on managing the orchard and the B&B, and would consider it later when he had money.
"30 tons." Ye Mo said.
"30 tons per barrel, or all of them?" Wang Yue said.
"Of course one barrel is 30 tons. If the whole bucket is only 30 tons, why should I get it?" Ye Mo said and went out to bring a stool in and sat next to Tang Xun: "You want to get it too?"
"A barrel is 30 tons, what kind of barrel?" Zhou Sheng, the eldest brother, asked.
"PE plastic water storage tank." Ye Mo said, "Didn't you see it when you came?"
"Did not notice."
The water tanks are placed on the tops of mountains on both sides of the valley.
The water tank is in the shape of a bucket, with a height of four meters and a diameter of 3.1 meters at the bottom of the bucket. It is a super large bucket made of thickened PE plastic... Ye Mo also built cement piers and a colored steel tile shed for the bucket.
"How much does a bucket like that cost?" Tang Xun asked.
"It's 25,000 yuan each. I'm looking for the manufacturer to ship it directly... If I buy it from JD.com, it's 26,800 yuan each." Ye Mo said. If he buys 10 pieces at a time, the price will definitely be cheaper.
"If I do it over there, I'll probably need a few."
"One, or two." Ye Mo said: "You can get one over there, it should be enough. You can also get two... By the way, do you have a well at your house?"
"Going to fight."
"If you want to dig an engine well, just get two. One is 30 tons, and the other is 20 tons. The 30-ton one can be used for water and fertilizer, and the 20-ton one can be used as a water storage tank. Later, in the dry season, the well water can be pumped in for irrigation.
.”
"Take me over after dinner to take a look." Tang Xun said.
"Um."
The 10 water storage tanks here in Ye Mo can store 300 tons of water at a time. In the future, two large water storage tanks will be dug on Niubei Mountain...
Then connect the water storage tanks to these water storage tanks to solve the problem of water shortage at once.
It's past eleven o'clock.
Lin Xiaomian and the others finally came.
There is Xiaomian’s mother, her eldest niece, and her eldest uncle.
Ye Mo introduced Lin Xiaomian to everyone, and then went out to help prepare lunch.
There is a back door to the kitchen.
Several temporary stoves were set up outside at the back, where white fungus soup, pig trotters, and duck soup were stewed.
It's noon.
There are 5 tables set up at home.
Four big tables, one small table...
Have a lively lunch. In the afternoon, Ye Mo takes everyone out to pick Jiabao fruits...
If managed well, Jiabao fruit can bloom all year round. Even flowers, green fruits and ripe fruits can exist on the same tree at the same time.
Those large Jiabao fruit trees have bloomed again, but due to transplantation problems, the coexistence of flowers and fruits has not appeared on the big trees.
On the contrary, the small fruit trees in the orchard have flowers and fruits coexisting.
There are 35 acres of small Jiabao trees with an average height of 1.5-2 meters. There are not many trees that bloom and bear fruit. But the number of fruits is not many.
Pick all the ripe fruits.
Ye Mo took Tang Xun and his wife to the mountain to see the big bucket.
Tang Xun knocked on the bucket. It was very thick and had a good texture.
"There's no water in it?"
"Not yet." The water-soluble fertilizer Ye Mo bought has not been delivered yet. The water-soluble fertilizer he bought this time is mainly for rooting and can promote root growth.
Only when the roots grow well will the fruit tree be good.
Ye Mo has a lot of trivial matters now. The fruits here are not expected to be sold until next year.
"How about selling fruits online in the future?" Ye Mo looked at Tang Xun and said.
"Okay." Tang Xun nodded: "Zhang Wei and the others opened a small store on Douyin, and the sales are very good."
They shoot videos and do live broadcasts.
But calling Ye Mo to sell goods on live broadcast would make him feel embarrassed.
According to the current momentum of the Jiabao fruit in the orchard, the output will not be low next year.
Other fruits are selling well, but Jiabao fruit is a very niche fruit...
Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo's expression, smiled, and said, "It's not shabby to make money. Besides, as long as you sell genuine things, there is no difference between selling them online and selling them in the market."
Ye Mo nodded.
"You only have some Jiabao fruits for sale here, as well as miracle fruits... I know a dealer here who specializes in wholesale of rare fruits. When you have more fruits here in the future, I will help you ask."
Tang Xun said.
"OK."
When Tang Xun makes cakes, he will purchase some fruits that are not common in their area.
Nowadays, not all fruit trees are blooming and bearing fruits.
I didn't take much care of these Jiabao fruits. When the fruits were ripe, the birds went over and ate them.
The Jiabao fruit we picked just now covers an area of 35 acres and weighs only five or six kilograms in total.
However, as time goes by, as the fruit trees grow larger, the yield will naturally increase.
Nowadays, these Jiabao fruit trees are growing very fast. In just two months since they came here, they have already grown a lot taller. The growth is noticeable.
