Alpine Orchard - Chapter 170

[Chapter 170]

next few days are basically a morning’s work.

After finishing the work in the morning, in the afternoon, the Landlords fight against the Landlords, and those who play mahjong play mahjong.

Ye Ran, Lin Xiaomian, Zhang Xia, Wang Yue… Four women sit at a mahjong table.

Ye Ma, Second Aunt, Third Aunt, Wang Ma (sometimes Tang Ma), a table of mahjong.

The seven of them, dad and uncle, fight landlords every afternoon.

Ye Zhi wants to take care of the baby, and Tang Xun also takes care of the baby sometimes. In the afternoon, Ye Mo dragged Chen Chen to help him with work…

My brother-in-law, I don’t feel embarrassed about calling him around.

The earliest grafted seedlings have to be moved to the small shed to start the process of hardening the seedlings, and then they can be transplanted.

“Brother Ye Mo.” Chen Chen shouted while taking the grafting folder.

“What are you doing?”

“When you’re done, can you teach me how to drive an excavator?” Chen Chen asked.

Ye Mo nodded and looked at him strangely.

Chen Chen said with some embarrassment: “When the production team needs an excavator, if I know how to drive an excavator, I can help Ye Ran open it.

” “Ye Mo smiled and said: “It happens that Niubei Mountain needs to be leveled.”

Niubei Mountain is where the reservoir is located.

Before the reservoir was dug, there were still many mounds of dirt on the mountain, and Ye Mo had long wanted to clear those mounds.

Ye Mo and the others quickly removed the seedling trays, placed them in the shed, and ventilated both sides of the shed. This is hardening…

All the melon seedlings have been grafted, and they will send the grafted melon seedlings into the shed according to the time , hardening seedlings.

A blink of an eye.

The first batch of melon seedlings can be planted.

But the temperature is still very low, but the melon seedlings wait for no one.

Ye Mo pushed back the time of planting as much as possible. According to the weather forecast, the temperature in the next few days will be suitable before planting.

The current melon seedlings have grown very large, and if they are not planted, these melon seedlings will be abolished.

It has been cloudy this month, and there have been several light rains. There is enough moisture in the soil…

a layer of mulch is spread, and then the melon seedlings are planted.

Put some cake fertilizer next to the melon seedlings… The

roots of the newly planted watermelon seedlings are damaged, and they cannot be watered immediately after planting. The melon seedlings need to wait for a few days before watering.

Soil moisture is sufficient now, no need to water immediately.

But for melons, you need to give some water after planting, even if there is moisture in the soil.

Melon is also cantaloupe, it is not the same as the cultivation of watermelon.

Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo and said, “After today’s work, our family won’t have time until the third day of the Lunar New Year?”

Ye Mo said, “Plant the slightly larger melon seedlings, and we can follow behind.”

Everyone has been here to help for a long time. To be honest, Ye Mo is very sorry.

Like Tang Xun’s family, five people come here every day. According to the local wages for raising seedlings, it would cost at least two hundred yuan per person per day… five people would cost more than one thousand yuan per day.

Second uncle, third uncle’s house…

and Xiao Mian’s big lady’s house, at least one of them came here every day. If counting the working days, there are 32 working days.

“Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and our family will have to leave relatives.” Tang Xun said.

“There’s no joy in working when you leave relatives. Don’t leave relatives, I have a lot of things going on here.” Ye Mo joked: “If my batch of watermelons makes money, I’ll count the work days for you. Three hundred yuan per working day. Don’t you guys want to buy a Wuling mini, after the work is done, it’s equivalent to picking up a Wuling mini for nothing.”

“Three hundred yuan per working day, yes.” Tang Xun He smiled and said, “What if you didn’t make any money?”

“I didn’t make any money, so you must have done it for nothing.” Ye Mo said.

Ye Mo talked with Tang Xun about this matter last night and asked him to help.

Tang Xun was unwilling at first, they didn’t come to help with work to make money. But there are some things that people don’t talk about, but Ye Mo must mention them here…

It has been 25 days since the seedlings were raised.

If it’s just to help, there must be a limit. Ye Mo’s job is not small, judging by the current progress… it will take three or four days to complete the planting.

“Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you also need to support your nephew and son. When these watermelons are sold, you will make money, 350 yuan per day.” Ye Mo said with a smile.

“Whatever it is.” The second uncle smiled and shook his head.

“You calculate 300 yuan for me, and 350 yuan for the second uncle and the others. It’s a bit too much.” Tang Xun laughed.

“Can you work faster than your uncle and the others? Playing around every day…” Ye Mo said: “This melon field will have a lot of work in the future. It needs to pinch buds, pollinate, and comb the melons and fruits. I think I also made money, and I will count the work days for everyone. If I don’t make money, I won’t give it. They are all my elders. If I lose money, even if I take out the money, you must be embarrassed to ask for it. Hahaha…”

“Then I wish the boss a lot of money in advance.” Wang Yue said with a smile, when Ye Mo and Tang Xun talked about it yesterday, Wang Yue also heard: “When you make a lot of money, give us I bought a Wuling mini at home, our family will tie up the work for you.”

“It’s easy to say…” Ye Mo said with a smile.

Father Ye looked at the side and nodded. If Ye Mo didn’t bring up this matter, he still wanted to talk about Ye Mo.

There is so much work on his side. It has been almost a month since the start of seedling cultivation, and he has not finished his work yet. There is still a lot of work ahead, no matter how good the relationship is, you can’t keep asking for it.

“Forget about our side. When the orchard on our side needs to be fertilized, you can go over and help.” The third uncle said: “We are idle during this time anyway.”

“That’s right, what about money? It hurts feelings very much.” Tang Ming said.

“It really can’t be calculated like this. There are still many things behind me, pollination, bud pinching…all require labor. Planting watermelons is also very hard…” Ye Mo said: “Anyway, I want to make money to grow watermelons for everyone. Salary, if you don’t make any money, forget it. Besides, if I make money from my watermelons and cantaloupe, I will plant them in summer, and then… I will have to trouble everyone.”

Everyone’s work day, Ye Mo wrote it all down. After all, this is not a short job…

It’s New Year’s Eve today.

There was no rest in the afternoon, and I rushed to order all the melon seedlings that I was anxious to plant.

The temperature in the back is good. After the new year, the temperature will start to warm up, which is just the right climate for the growth of melon seedlings.

Customize it now, and it will bloom and bear fruit at the end of the month. The first batch of watermelons will be ripe at the end of March at the earliest…

Ye Mo is timing, the watermelons at the end of March and early April can be sold at a good price.

And in March, the temperature is high, and it can reach more than 30 degrees during the day. The lowest temperature at night is above 10 degrees…

There is no greenhouse, and the temperature difference between day and night during the fruit setting period is large, and the watermelon is easy to hollow. But Little Watermelon, these problems are not big.

After four o’clock in the afternoon, Ye Mo’s mother and a few aunts went home to prepare the reunion dinner.

Ye Mo and the others speeded up and kept busy until dark.

It’s time to call it a day.

Ye Mo went to the greenhouse, the big watermelon in the greenhouse, the melon vines had stopped growing.

One main vine and two secondary vines. The main vine grew to more than eight meters long before Ye Mo pinched off the top of the vine. Now, there are many flowers growing on the nodes of the melon vine, these flowers are still small bones, and it will take a few days to bloom.

Ye Mo went in to have a look, then returned home.

Ye Ran and the others called off work early and went to town, bought a lot of firecrackers, and came back with fireworks.

When I went back, I saw Lin Xiaomian and the others setting off fireworks outside, and there were three little guys outside. It was so lively.

Ye Mo took a firecracker, lit it, and the beautiful fireworks rushed out, exploding in the night sky.

Tang Xun and Chen Chen went over to look at the fireworks, found one and lit it.

“Are there any big firecrackers?” Tang Ming went over and asked.

“No.” Wang Yue said: “When we went there, there were only firecrackers, firecrackers and small firecrackers in the town.”

Tang Ming found a few small firecrackers and lit them…a kind of fireworks that can spin on the ground. “Bee”, with a sound of “woo~”, it flew into the sky with brilliant fireworks.
