Alpine Orchard - Chapter 133

[Chapter 133 The Importance of Tools]

When I got home, it was past half past six.

Ye Mo washed the rice and cooked the rice, cut a piece of bacon on the stove, washed it, and put it in the pot.

The bacon was delivered by Mrs. Xiaomian a few days ago.

Ms. Xiao Mian’s family has 9 acres of mangoes and more than 3 acres of pomegranates. She wants to install a drip irrigation water tank, so she asked Ye Mo to go over and take a look.

Ye Mo has a lot of things going on now, and it hasn’t passed yet.

It was getting late, Ye Mo took an electronic scale, checked the net, and headed for the large reservoir.

Going to the warehouse, he moved two bags of feed to the car, and when he came to the reservoir, Ye Mo fished out two crayfish and weighed them first. Crayfish with green shells weigh 15 grams and 17 grams respectively…

This is the 3 money shrimp.

Generally, lobsters have specifications. Judging from the specifications on the market, starting from 3 qian… Most medium lobsters are the mainstream in the market, which is 456 qian. Converted into grams, they are 20, 25, and 30 grams.

7 money up the price rises a lot.

For most farmers, about 25 grams of crayfish can be sold, which is more than ten yuan per catty. These are red prawns, the price of green prawns is more expensive.

The egg-bearing lobsters released on August 20th, and crayfish hatched in early September. Now, crayfish are less than two months old.

The crayfish in the reservoir mainly use extruded feed, and the crayfish fed with extruded feed grow very fast.

If the seedlings are good, they can grow faster…

According to Xiaomian’s father, if you put in 5cm-long shrimp seedlings, it only takes one month for some male shrimps to grow to more than 1 tael. This is feeding extruded pellet feed…

Ye Mo feeds the feed along the side of the reservoir, and fishes out some lobsters to weigh them from time to time.

The smallest crayfish weighs 13 grams…the largest crayfish weighs more than 20 grams.

There are a lot of crayfish in the big reservoir, on the leaves of aquatic plants, on the shore…you can see them everywhere.

From a small half bag of feed a day before, to now… two bags of feed a day.

“Are these feeds being eaten by crayfish, or are there fish coming to eat them?” Ye Mo feels distressed every time he comes out to feed.

Crayfish feed is expensive, 4,300 yuan per ton. I bought 6 tons before, and there are not many left.

Ye Mo didn’t know exactly how many crayfish there were in the reservoir. Anyway, only 100 catties of egg-embracing shrimp were thrown in…

With the current amount, it can only be said that the survival rate of shrimp seedlings is extremely high.

The two bags of feed were thrown in. Ye Mo returned home, and Lin Xiaomian just came back, looking at the meat cooked in the kitchen.

“Where did you go?”

“Feed the lobsters.” Ye Mo said, “Some of the lobsters in the reservoir have grown to 4 yuan.”

“They will be sold soon?” Lin Xiaomian put the lid back on the pot and said.

“It will be sold in the middle of next month.” Ye Mo said, “How much money do you have left?”

Lin Xiaomian’s mouth was pouting, “More than 18,000 yuan. Do you really have no money?”

“There is still 7,000 yuan A lot.”

Lin Xiaomian knew that it should be the feed…

the feed I bought before is probably almost finished.

“I’ll transfer the money to you later.” Lin Xiaomian said.

“Yeah.” Ye Mo lifted Lin Xiaomian’s face and kissed her.

Lin Xiaomian pushed Ye Mo away: “I just came back, I haven’t showered yet, I’m covered in sweat.”

“It smells delicious,” Ye Mo said.

Lin Xiaomian picked up her mobile phone, transferred 18,000 yuan to Ye Mo, and left a few hundred yuan, saying: “You have to watch out for the crayfish in the reservoir, don’t be surprised. Otherwise, the capital chain will be broken. ”

I know. I watched closely…”

“The meat in the pot is already cooked.” Lin Xiaomian said, “I’ll go upstairs and take a shower first.”

“Yeah.”

Ye Mo watched Lin Xiaomian go upstairs, called the owner of the feed store, and asked to send 5 tons of feed. Followed to the backyard and pulled out a Baoercai.

Bao’er vegetables, they are called baby vegetables and green vegetables locally. This is a very strange vegetable…

The vegetables in the backyard grow very well. One baby vegetable is enough for Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian, and they can’t finish it.

Wash the baby cabbage, cut into pieces, and throw it into the pot.

The bacon in the pot is ready, take it out and put it on the cutting board to dry.

How long does it take for Lin Xiaomian to take a bath? When she comes down, the baby food has been cooked and the bacon has been sliced into thin slices.

Pork belly, fat and white.

Lin Xiaomian used to prefer to eat vegetables and seldom eat meat. But now that I work every day, I like to eat some oily meat.

“Are you a little tired?” Ye Mo asked.

“Yeah. But starting tomorrow, I will only work for nine hours a day. Start work at eight o’clock in the morning…from two o’clock in the afternoon to seven o’clock in the afternoon. I can sleep in in the morning.” Lin Xiaomian said, pouted.

Ye Ran, Ye Mo is not distressed. But she feels sorry for Lin Xiaomian…

Lin Xiaomian just graduated from university, and she didn’t work before, that is to say, she hasn’t been beaten by the society yet. Driving an excavator for ten hours a day is very tiring, but it is not easy for her to persevere.

Thinking back to the year Ye Mo first started working, he worked eight hours a day and felt tired.

“I’ve planted algae spores. Tomorrow, I’ll do drip irrigation for the aunt. After I’m done, I’ll go to work for you. You can rest for a few days.” Ye Mo said.

“No. Aren’t you going to grow watermelons, cantaloupe and cantaloupe? After you’re done, you have to build melon and fruit shelves… Ranran wants to go out to play, and I want to go out, too. After we finish our work, go out and play for a few days.” Lin Xiaomian acted coquettishly, looking at Ye Mo.

“Okay. Let’s go when we’re done…” Looking at Lin Xiaomian’s coquettish appearance, Ye Mo felt that his heart was soft.

the next day.

Ye Mo got up early to make breakfast, called Lin Xiaomian to come down and eat, and then went out together.

Lin Xiaomian went to the excavator, and Ye Mo went to Mrs. Xiaomian’s house.

They were doing drip irrigation yesterday and bought a vertical rotomoulding bucket with a volume of 15 tons. It ‘s the one that Ye Mo bought earlier…

This early in the morning, the eldest lady and the eldest son-in-law were already working on the mountain.

Ye Mo went over to look at the drip irrigation they made, and shouted: “Ms., Mr.   Uncle   .

” , where are you going to put it?” Ye Mo asked.   ”Put it on the top of the orchard.” The elder uncle pointed out the location to Ye Mo, which was above the mango orchard.   The hillside here is very steep, and manual excavation will take a lot of effort. Excavators, it seems that it is not very easy to go up.   Ye Mo looked around first, found the way for the excavator to go up, then called Lin Xiaomian: “Xiaomian.”   ”What are you doing?” .   ”Driving a micro-digger down the mountain at noon, Ma’am here needs to dig a piece of hillside.” Ye Mo said.   ”Okay.”   After hanging up the phone, Ye Mo went over to help.   ”Aren’t you very busy now, won’t your affairs be delayed?” said the lady.   ”I have nothing to do here, so I won’t delay anything.” Ye Mo said.   The lady smiled.   Ye Mo saw them sawing the water pipe with a small saw, and said, “I have a small chainsaw over there, I’ll get one when I go back.”   ”Okay.”

Ye Mo got off the car and brought the small chainsaw over. One-handed small chainsaw, can be used for orchard pruning (big branches), sawing bamboo, etc… Lithium battery, strong power, and long battery life. When working in an orchard, the choice of tools is very important. It takes a while to saw a water pipe with a small manual saw. With a small chainsaw, the water pipe was cut open at once.

There is a big steep slope on their side, so there is no need to bury the water pipes in the ground, just throw them on the ground in the open air, and it is very easy to get them up.

Burying water pipes in the ground can extend the life of the pipes. But the most important thing is to facilitate the opening of the orchard to traffic…

and the hillside orchard here is definitely not accessible to cars, so there is no need to bury the water pipes.
