Alpine Orchard - Chapter 259

[Chapter 259 I’m Playing With Birds]

The air-conditioned room finally became quiet.

Ye Mo was sweating, and Lin Xiaomian’s fair skin was slightly rosy…

Ye Mo picked up the quilt and hugged Lin Xiaomian in his arms.

In the afternoon, I slept until three o’clock.

When Ye Mo woke up, Lin Xiaomian was playing a game with his mobile phone: “It’s past three o’clock.” Lin Xiaomian reminded.

Ye Mo rubbed his face: “I’ll go out and take a look.”

“Do you want me to go with you?”

Ye Mo looked at the curtains outside, which were a little bright, and said, “You should stay at home, the sun is so bright outside.”

Lin Xiaomian turned around She leaned over and kissed Ye Mo’s face: ”

Whatever you want to eat tonight, I’ll cook.” “Anything is fine.” Ye Mo got up and changed his clothes, turned around and saw Lin Xiaomian’s long legs showing off the quilt, Said : “Don’t turn on the air conditioner so high, be careful of catching a cold.”

“Yeah.”

Ye Mo went downstairs, took the car key of Baojun KiWi, and turned on the air conditioner…

It was very hot inside the car.

This small car has a small air conditioner, and the temperature of the car only dropped a little when we got to the melon field.

The workers are all in the melon fields, wearing sun hats that fully cover their faces and long sleeves.

The sun is too poisonous.

Although it didn’t come out until three o’clock in the afternoon, even people who had been working outdoors for a long time would not be able to stand the sun on their skin.

The sun protection works well, but it is a bit hot.

Qilin watermelons, very few are already ripe.

Ye Mo knocked on them one by one, and picked six out: “Come and eat watermelon, take a rest.”

“We just came out, let’s rest.” Zhou Yue said with a smile.

“Take a break.” Ye Mo said, “There is never enough work to be done.”

It was too hot and a bit stuffy.

A group of people have only been out for an hour, and they are all sweating profusely.

There is also an awning next to the melon field, and the awning is particularly stuffy.

Ye Mo carried the watermelon into the coconut grove, took a knife, and cut each watermelon into three pieces.

These watermelons are not particularly ripe yet, but they are edible.

“Eat watermelon.” Ye Mo said.

“The watermelons are all ripe.”

“There are not many ripe watermelons. Let’s guess, the first batch will be picked the day after tomorrow.” Ye Mo said and tasted the taste. Although it was the second crop, it tasted quite sweet.

Everyone came over to get the watermelon, and sat under the shade of the tree in twos and threes.

Ye Mo said: “Go pick thorns and bubbles around five o’clock. Don’t worry about the work here in the melon field. It’s too hot this afternoon.”

Everyone nodded.

Master Liu said: “Why don’t we come out later. It’s getting dark now, so we can work more time.

” It’s enough to work for eight hours…” Ye Mo said: “Also,   the vines on the cantaloupe side are almost tidied up, right?

”

There are 800 big watermelons on the melon shelf that need to be managed.” Ye Mo said: “After these watermelons are harvested, I will also build a greenhouse here. Master Li, Master Liu, accompany me to purchase materials when the time comes Ha.”

“Okay.” The two nodded with a smile.

Seeing that everyone ate the watermelon, Ye Mo said, “Watch the time, let’s pick the thorns later.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t worry.”

“Everyone rest a little longer, the work in the field is not in a hurry.” Ye Mo got up and went back to the car, and drove to the previously laid concrete road.

The exposed part of the cement road is only a little higher than the ground.

Ye Mo turned around, and then drove to the town.

To pay workers wages.

It costs more than 100,000 per post…

Last month had 31 days, and everyone officially went to work on the 4th, which is 27 days. Plus the second uncle Xiaomian…

27 days, no one asked for leave.

For the three captains, this month, Ye Mo plans to give each of them 7,800 yuan, including food subsidies.

It’s summer, and it’s really not easy to work in the fields, it’s too hot. A few hundred yuan more per person is regarded as a high temperature subsidy.

As for Uncle Xiao Mian, according to the number of days, an extra 300 yuan will do.

After going to the bank to withdraw 200,000 yuan, Ye Mo bought some beer and Huoxiangzhengqi water by the way, and returned to Gaoshanping, first went to the raspberry orchard to have a look.

The raspberries on the main branch are gone, and the rest are on the lower secondary branches. These prickly bubbles are not easy to pick, and the number…doesn’t look like a lot.

The weather has been extremely hot these days.

Like today, it is estimated to be close to 40 degrees Celsius, which is a high temperature that can kill people.

Ye Mo asked the workers to rest, because he was afraid that someone would cause problems due to the heat.

There are many thorn bubbles falling on the ground.

The higher the temperature, the faster the thorn bubbles will mature.

It was said before that it would take three or four days to pick, but now it seems that after today, there will be some picking tomorrow… After that, there will be some scattered ones.

Ye Mo picked a few ripe raspberries and was eating them.

Master Liu and the others came over, dragging a box containing raspberries.

Ye Mo squatted in a cool place next to the orchard for a while, got up and caught a few bugs, came to the warehouse, and climbed up with a ladder.

Xiaobai should fly out to look for food.

In the bird’s nest is Xiaobai, and a group of their cubs.

The weather is getting worse now, and Ye Mo specially installed sun visors for them. That’s it, the little guys are still very hot, and they are all listless.

Ye Mo took out a bowl of Lingquan, and Xiao Xiaobai jumped over when he saw it, gulping down the water.

Ye Mo touched Xiao Xiaobai’s head. This little guy couldn’t resist Ye Mo anymore, but…it was hard to make it fly to him.

Lin Xiaomian is very close to these birds, whether it is Xiaobai or Xiaobai, they will take the initiative to get close to her, and especially listen to her.

Xiaobai drank the cool spring, happily, and yelled at Ye Mo a few times.

Ye Mo scratched its chin with a smile, Xiao Xiaobai enjoyed it very much, and narrowed his eyes. After a while, Ye Mo took out the worm, and Xiao Xiaobai was not polite when he saw it, and started to eat it.

Ye Mo then grabbed the other little shrikes and fed them the spirit spring.

The little guys were chirping, but their mouths were next to the Lingquan, and after drinking a little, they took the initiative. Even, a little guy wanted to jump into the bowl to take a bath… Ye Mo held him down.

8 little ones, all very cute.

If these little shrikes all settled in Gaoshanping, they would not be afraid of birds coming to harm them in the future.

Shrike, despite his small stature, he has a fierce personality.

Xiao Xiaobai ate two locusts, and for the rest, Xiao Xiaobai divided them into two pieces, the head and the tail, and waited for Ye Mo to feed water to his cubs, then he took the small pieces of meat in his mouth and fed them piece by piece. For the cubs.

Ye Mo is still very detailed about these small things. The shrike is ferocious and likes to eat small animals, birds, lizards and other insects, but its appearance is really cute.

“Boss Ye.” Li Xuebin’s voice came from below: “I’m playing with birds.”

Ye Mo was fascinated, looked down, and shouted with a smile: “Boss Li, Boss Zhou…”
