Alpine Orchard - Chapter 229

[Chapter 229]

a Long-term Worker Chen Chen was shocked, each mu of watermelon… actually cost 15,000.

The cost is a bit high.

If the price of watermelon does not go up, it will be a loss.

The watermelon grown in Yemo not only has excellent quality, but also has a very high yield.

For the watermelons, muskmelons, and netted melons that Ye Mo planted… I don’t think I invested too much money, but they grow well and have good quality.

But those melons and fruits put too much energy into it.

Chen Chen participated in the whole process of management, and knew how much effort Ye Mo put in. And the management of melons and fruits, every step, can be called a textbook level.

Hmm…

Those melons and fruits, Ye Mo is managing them like a textbook, and every step is meticulous.

However, it is incomprehensible to invest 15,000 per mu.

Ye Mo didn’t bother to explain to him: “Let’s talk about it later.”

“Okay.”

Ye Mo hung up the phone, checked the time, and got up from the bed.

If Chen Chen and the others plant watermelons, melons, etc., Ye Mo can provide the land.

After returning, Ye Mo will count how many durian trees died. The planting density of durian trees is already very small, only 8 trees per mu. If one tree dies, there will be a big gap.

The place under the dead durian tree can only be transplanted to the existing surviving durian tree.

In this way, a large open space can be freed up.

At worst, just follow the method of planting melons and fruits this year, and plant them between durian saplings.

However, the durian saplings have begun to grow, generally reaching a height of one meter. It is better to find a better area and transplant the durian trees in this area to fill in the gaps elsewhere.

Even the durian seedlings cultivated by Lingquan have a low survival rate. Ye Mo reckoned that more than one hundred acres of open space might be cleared.

At that time, whoever wants to plant watermelons can just plant them in that open space.

But for the watermelons that Chen Chen and the others planted, it was impossible for Ye Mo to water them with too many spiritual springs, at most he just took care of them along the way. So, if you want to grow watermelons well, especially early-maturing watermelons, you must build a greenhouse.

Without a greenhouse, we can’t do anything.

“Hello, where are you?” Ye Mo called Lin Xiaomian.

“At Wang Rong’s house, come over to play.”

“Yeah.”

“Bring some netted melons over here.”

“Okay.” Ye Mo found a pocket and put five netted melons in it.

They have just finished planting seedlings here, and there is nothing to do when they enter the slack season.

Xiao Mian’s parents didn’t receive work either.

In rural areas, because the procedures for building houses are becoming more and more difficult to handle, fewer and fewer new houses are being built in rural areas.

Maybe in a few years, the contractors in the village will become legends.

“Dad, Mom.” Coming to Wang Rong’s house, Ye Mo shouted: “Second Uncle, Second Aunt. Uncle, Aunt…”

“Yes.” Xiao Mian’s parents nodded.

Second Uncle and the others also nodded. They all knew that Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian had obtained their marriage certificates, but they hadn’t held a banquet yet.

Ye Mo handed the cantaloupe to Lin Xiaomian, and Lin Xiaomian took the cantaloupe and went to cut the melon.

“When will the banquet be held?” Second Uncle asked.

“At the end of the year.” Ye Mo said.

“Why do I have to wait until the end of the year? Second Uncle, I have long wanted to have a banquet.”

“You want to have a banquet, so please remind Xiao Lin and Wang Rong.” Lin Shan said with a smile.

“Hehe… Well, I want to hurry up.”

Ye Mo sat next to the old man, they were fighting the landlord.

Lin Xiaomian cut the netted melon, put it on a plate and took it out: “I’ve eaten the melon.” In the

evening, Lin Xiaolin and the others came back from work.

“Brother-in-law.” Lin Xiaolin shouted with a smile.

Ye Mo smiled and handed Lin Xiaolin a cigarette: “I got off work so early.”

“It’s the normal time to get off work.” Lin Xiaolin said.

“There are netted melons in the kitchen, cut some for us.” Lin Xiaomian and her aunt played mahjong, commanding.

“Well, you sheep, let’s command your second sister-in-law.” Wang Rong smiled and threw herself on Lin Xiaomian.

“May 1st is coming soon, are you on holiday?” Lin Xiaomian asked.

“Holiday.”

“How many days?”

“Five days.” Wang Rong said, “Lin Xiaolin and I also talked about going to Lijiang to play. Are you free? Let’s play together?”

“No time.” Lin Xiaomian said.

The watermelons in Gaoshanping must follow the management.

“May 1 Labor Day, if you are free, go to my side to work.” Ye Mo smiled.

“Your work over there has come out again?” Lin Shan asked.

“Well. The second crop of melons will start pruning the vines, and we need to do a good job of drainage.” Ye Mo said. In May, the rainy season is about to enter… In the rainy season, heavy rain is inevitable. After returning, drainage must be done well, otherwise the melon fields will easily accumulate water when the heavy rain comes.

Lin Shan hesitated to speak, and said, “Isn’t there a lot of work?”

“It’s quite a lot.” Ye Mo said.

Ye Mo was wondering whether to find a group of permanent workers, or to find an orchard manager in advance.

When looking for an orchard manager, you must be looking for a professional, but I am afraid that the professional will come and see the subsequent changes in Gaoshanping, and I will have doubts in my heart.

The fruit trees in Gaoshanping grow…obviously too fast.

Therefore, for the position of pastoral manager, I will look for it after Gao Shanping stabilizes.

Wang Rong and Lin Xiaolin went to cook dinner, and said, “After eating here, I’m going to cook.”

“Okay.” Lin Xiaomian said with a smile.

Seeing what the old man was going to say, Ye Mo looked at him.

Lin Shan smiled embarrassingly, and said: “Do you want to hire some permanent workers? Your second and third uncles come to help every day. In the long run, it is not very good.”

Ye Mo nodded: “I am also Think about it. But it’s not easy to find reliable workers.”

“The plasterers who work with me, hurry up and work hard, and can endure hardships. There is no work this year, and everyone is playing at home. If you need permanent workers , I will let them go to your place… the wages are cheaper than you going out to find temporary workers.”

Ye Mo thought for a while: “How many people are there?”

“I have a good relationship with me, there are more than a dozen people. If you need more Manpower can be found too…” Lin Shan said with a smile.

“Then find someone who has a better relationship with you first.”

“There are 14 people, you have met them all, and they have worked with you before…”

“Okay.” Ye Mo nodded: “When we are free, we Let’s meet and discuss the treatment first.”

“Tomorrow, I’ll contact them later.” Lin Shan smiled and said, “Are you planning to hire people for short-term or long-term?”

“One month as a probationary period. I don’t know if they can Get used to the work over there… If they can get used to it, they can sign a one-year contract.” Ye Mo said: “Specifically, let’s talk about it later.”

“Yeah.”

The words of rural contractors and plasterers… are getting less and less It’s easy to find.

Their group of plasterers has received two jobs to build courtyard walls this year, and the total amount is only a few days. Then, those who farm at home, those who can go out to find small odd jobs, go out to find small odd jobs.

A few days ago, Li Baogong called Lin Shan and asked Lin Shan to ask Ye Mo if he could introduce them to Boss Li’s company.

Last year, the 11th team was under construction. Ye Mo took them to Xinxiang Construction Company. After finishing the work, Boss Gao saw that their work was beautiful and poached them. At that time, Carpenter Zhang received another job, so he refused Boss Gao’s solicitation. But this year, there are no people building houses in the surrounding towns…the construction of houses in

rural areas requires procedures. It is too difficult to go through the procedure now.

There are actually quite a lot of people in the countryside who want to build houses, but they can’t get the house building procedures…

If they can’t apply for the house building procedures, they, the rural plasterers, have no work to do.

Ye Mo thought about hiring a group of plasterers to work in his orchard, it seemed…not bad. Afterwards, the orchard roads will harden, so you don’t need to find other people, you can do it yourself. Another example is that if you want to do some small construction in the future, you don’t need to hire people…
