Chen Mo had successfully cultivated giant morels before and brought back a large number of honeycombs. It seemed that he was very familiar with the cultivation again...
After staying in the living room for more than an hour, Chen Mo took off his thick protective clothing full of needle holes and entered the space.
The ferocious bees dispersed, and the glutinous rice dumplings flew over and landed on Chen Mo's shoulders with a 'chirp' sound...
"You're such a heartless guy." Chen Mo reached out and flicked the little guy.
Although the glutinous rice dumplings are small, they are very easy to toss. After all, they are magical species that can fly close to the speed of sound...
Returning to the orchard in the middle of the space, Chen Mo cultivated the morels here before. To cultivate morels, the first step is to cultivate mycelium, and the important point of mycelial growth is these amber translucent honeycombs.
…
The color of the honeycomb is somewhat similar to the color of the stipe.
A mysterious substance will be separated from the soaking water of the honeycomb in the space, and then the spores of the morel are poured in, stirred, and poured into the culture tank. After a few months, the morel will grow...
But this is too troublesome. Once mushrooms grow once or twice, you have to re-cultivate the mushroom tank.
Wild gallinopsis fungi have gallinopsis nests, which are termite nests and are the main reason for supporting the growth of gallinopsis fungi.
Chen Mo used honeycombs to make large morel nests. Once cultivated, they should be able to grow for a long time.
The first step is to cultivate mycelium...
The second step is to disinfect the greenhouse, dig a deep ditch about one meter deep, enter the space to collect a large amount of rotten wood, leaves, the unique white rock weathered soil, humus soil in the space... and then throw it away about ten meters away
A piece of honeycomb…
Wait for the mycelium to fully grow, and then use the mycelium to make a bacterial mass...
In one step, the bacterial clumps are transplanted and buried in the glass greenhouse...
Some bacterial clumps are left to be cultivated in the space.
Morels grow slowly. Under suitable growth conditions, it takes dozens of days for the hyphae to grow into large morels.
After more than ten days of busy work, the flower greenhouse has finally been planted with morel clumps. If everything goes well, the morel clumps will be grown in four or five days after being cultivated in space...
In order to get this fungus, Chen Mo worked so hard that it delayed the business of the manor.
Chen Mo was preparing to plant peach trees on both sides of the road in the manor.
Some peach trees have been in space for more than ten years and have grown into big trees...
From the gate of the manor, every ten to twenty meters on both sides of the road, Chen Mo used an excavator to dig a big hole, threw in organic fertilizer, and with a thought, moved the peach trees out of the space with a little mud...
These tasks can only be done by Chen Mo alone, and it is impossible to hire others.
Every day's work is to plant trees and water the transplanted fruit trees...
Working secretly alone, River Valley Manor changed its appearance unknowingly.
More than a thousand peach trees and more than 800 Garbo fruit trees have been planted in the manor, 36 of which are nearly 60-year-old trees, covering an area of 10 acres...
There are more than 500 fig trees covering an area of 21 acres.
Several acres of miracle fruits, 4 acres of cherries...
Peach trees are planted on both sides of the road and can be seen wherever you go.
Chen Mo planted all the rest of the grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
All grapes have been space grafted, 130 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 60 acres of Viognier, and the rest are other grapes.
The planting area is large, but the density...
The grapes in the space adopt a tree-shaped pruning method, with a spacing of 7 meters and a horizontal distance of 10 meters.
Because one person is busy, according to the standard planting density, there will definitely not be enough grape seedlings, and it will be a waste of time. So I will quickly cut the mess and plant it first...
"Finally finished."
There are only two peach trees left in the space, a few small flowerless fruit trees, two Garbo fruits, a small mysterious orchard, and dozens of grapes reserved for grafting and pruning.
It just rained yesterday, so I don't have to water the orchards and vineyards today, but I have some free time.
It’s September, and it’s the grape harvest season. In fact, some early-ripening grapes have been harvested.
Napa Valley has entered the busy farming season, and many grapes will be picked this month. Cabernet Sauvignon is a late-ripening grape, especially the Cabernet Sauvignon used for winemaking. It does not start picking until October, and it may even be completed by mid-November...
Living a busy life alone, Chen Mo is used to getting up early.
I didn't have any work to do today, so I took a nap until after 11 o'clock. Bright woke him up with a call: "Hi, boss."
"Huh?" Chen Mo was sleepy and confused: "What's the matter?"
"Do you need to pay back the $2 million loan you took from Wells Fargo?" Bright asked.
In the past few months, the pasture has been operating well, with more than 4,000 lambs being born one after another. The main output is goat milk, and the lambs are weaned at three months. There are already more than 2,000 ewes in the dairy.
only, and can expand to 3,400 in a short period of time.
"Go ahead." Chen Mo turned on the speakerphone, rubbed his sleepy cheeks, and woke up: "I see there are more than seven million US dollars in the ranch account. How much is the disposable amount?"
"The profitability of the ranch is stable, just keep 1 million. The solid organic fertilizer (powder and granular) produced by the ranch already exceeds 6,000 tons. We only use liquid organic fertilizer here on the ranch. Solid organic fertilizer has already been produced.
The winery contacted us and offered us a price of US$65 per ton. Do you want to see if we can sell it?”
Vineyards in Napa Valley use organic fertilizers, which cost more than 100 US dollars per ton. There are expensive ones, more than 500 US dollars per ton, and there are even more expensive organic fertilizers. This is the retail price, 100 US dollars for organic fertilizers.
Fertilizer, transportation alone accounts for a large part of the cost...
Vineyards have a huge demand for organic fertilizers. If all 1 acre of vineyards uses organic fertilizers, the annual fertilizer consumption will be at least 2 tons.
As far as the price of Napa Valley grapes is concerned, even 500 US dollars per ton of organic fertilizer is not too expensive. Americans all believe in the saying that the wool comes from the sheep, and the output of high input will eventually be transferred to consumers.
.
"Is 65 US dollars the market price? It doesn't include shipping costs..." Chen Mo said.
"Of course. The other party will transport it themselves."
"It's up to you, just don't lose money." Organic fertilizers from pastures will pollute the environment if piled up too much. This is an additional product of pasture farming, and it doesn't matter if the price is cheaper. Some pastures will also pay companies that specialize in cleaning up manure.
...$65 per ton is not bad, although the ranch has invested in equipment and manpower.
After getting up, taking a shower, and shaving cleanly, Chen Mo went downstairs to make breakfast...lunch, and called Bai Xiaoou.
Brothers Automobile Shop invested hundreds of thousands of dollars to renovate the sales showroom, which was completed at the end of July. Bai Xiaoou’s Porsche 918 was also bought a long time ago, and the transaction price seemed to be US$1.68 million.
Bai Xiaoou bought that car for 1.6 million, fully insured it for a year, and sold it for 1.68 million. All the money earned was given to the car dealer (commission). It was equivalent to playing with the car for free for several months...
"Are you busy?" Bai Xiaoou said.
"Let's find out more about Lamborghini Reventon." Chen Mo said with a smile.
