Alpine Orchard - Chapter 30

[Chapter 30]

first day of the new year, Ye Mo and the others had nowhere to go.

After visiting the temple with my parents and the others, I played cards in the village…

After the first day of the new year, I was about to leave relatives.

It’s the same every year, my uncle’s family in the second year of junior high school, my uncle’s family in the third year of junior high school, Ye Mo’s family in the fourth year of junior high school…

this year is no exception.

Chinese New Year is all about eating and drinking. If you don’t go out to play, there is nothing to talk about.

In a blink of an eye, the year is over.

Ye Mo’s big villa on the mountain started construction again. Only the third floor and the top floor are left…

Wall painting, floor tiles, wallpaper, furniture installation…

Busy to mid-March, the villa was finally completed.

Greenery is also planted around the villa.

In front of the house, outside the garage, there is a row of flower beds planted with a row of cycads. On the flower bed across the road, a row of coconut trees are planted… Below the coconut trees is a steep slope, almost like a cliff.

Around the house, Ye Mo planted some hedges.

The densely planted shrubs or small trees are planted in a single row or double row, and the regular planting form that is closely combined is called a hedge, also known as a hedge or a hedge.

The green belts on the roadside are common…

The top of the mountain has running water, electricity and ventilation.

Huangtupo realized the three links very early.

It’s just that the water bill here is more expensive. Many families dig their own wells…

Although it is in a mountainous area, there is no shortage of groundwater. The groundwater is only for drinking. If it is used for irrigation, it needs to dig a deep motorized well, which is unaffordable for most farmers.

There are many reservoirs on the mountain.

For example, on a high soil slope, if you drill a pond six or seven meters deep, there will be water. The water in it is drinkable, but if you want to use it for irrigation, the amount of water produced is too small, so it will definitely not work.

As for irrigation with tap water, it is too expensive.

Therefore, the orchard on the mountain still digs water holes everywhere to store water during the rainy season.

…

On the top of the mountain, it should be done, and it has basically been done.

The rest is some finishing work.

The small excavator was at the foot of the mountain, Ye Ran’s barren hill had been reclaimed, and Chen Chen’s barren land was being reclaimed.

Ye Mo drove the micro-digger, and repaired the pile of soil left when he opened up wasteland and built roads before repairing…

Ye Mo has a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

“I bid farewell to the southern hemisphere and head to Hokkaido, wishing to embrace you as a day and night bird, and wait until the sky and the waves rely on each other…” The power of the micro-digger was fully turned on, and Ye Mo, wearing a Bluetooth headset, listened to the song, and turned to the side of the road. The mound was cleared and leveled.

There are still several hills on the top of the mountain that have not been cultivated.

The slopes of those small hills were too steep. There are still native bushes on the hill…

Clean up the last small dirt bag that you don’t like, Ye Mo will dig it up and go back to the warehouse, connect the water from the faucet outside the warehouse, and rinse the excavator clean.

The water is taken from the deep pond in the backyard of the villa, and the entire orchard has been laid with water pipes to facilitate irrigation.

After the new year, the temperature rises.

There is no winter in Huacheng.

In terms of seasons, winter should be regarded as spring in Huacheng…

After the new year, the temperature directly soars and it enters summer.

After cleaning the excavator, Ye Mo took the pickup truck keys and went down the mountain: “Chen Chen.”

Chen Chen walked over…

“Come with me to the town,” Ye Mo said.

Chen Chen sat up and said, “What are you going to do in town?”

“I bought a dump truck online, and the car has been delivered, come with me to pick it up.” Ye Mo said.

“Buy dump trucks online?”

“Off-road dump truck…” Ye Mo shrugged.

Four-wheel drive, Zongshen’s brand, with a two-meter-long bucket, and the chassis of the car is that of a beach buggy.

Ye Mo saw this car on Douyin before, found it online, and bought it. The total price is less than 20,000…

Come to town.

Ye Mo’s car was placed outside the courier station, and he signed for the car in the past, and there were 6 packages left.

There are car wash water gun hoses in the package, one in each package, with a length of 40 meters.

It has not rained for a long time, and the fruit trees planted on the mountain will die if they are not watered.

Driving back in the car, Dad was waiting at the intersection, and saw Ye Mo waving: “Did you buy this car?”

“Ah?” Ye Mo nodded.

“You…” Dad took a deep breath, and said helplessly and angrily, “How much money do you have that you can’t spend?”

Ye Mo smiled: “This car is cheap.

” Taiwan micro digger, do you still need it?” Papa Ye asked.

“No need, what are you doing?”

“Your uncle’s orchard is going to install a small train. I’ll go over and level the path for him.” Papa Ye said.

At the top of the mountain, Ye Mo loaded the micro-excavator on the orchard transport vehicle. The orchard transport vehicle has a large horsepower, and it is no problem to load more than ten tons.

As soon as Father Ye left, Chen Chen drove Ye Mo’s pickup truck over.

Ye Mo was unpacking and connecting the water pipes with buttons and glue.

Connected into two 120-meter water pipes, and the two water pipes have interfaces that can be connected together to form a 240-meter water pipe.

“Is there anything, help me fix the water pipe.” Ye Mo said.

“It’s okay.” Chen Chen shook his head and helped Ye Mo with it.

Get the water pipes ready and put them on the car.

Chen Chen received a call, and Ye Mo drove him down. After returning, he started watering the orchard.

Wherever there is a road, there are water pipes along the side of the road, including dirt roads.

The mountain where the villa is located is the highest point on the top of the mountain, receiving water from the mountain to irrigate the entire orchard.

There is a faucet fifty meters from the roadside, and water can be collected everywhere.

In the deep pond on the mountain, Ye Mo poured a few buckets of spiritual spring into it yesterday morning…

It hasn’t rained for a long time.

The soil on the mountain is dry, and dust can be kicked up with a kick.

The winter in Huacheng is not completely rainless, but there is less rain. If it hadn’t rained, the fruit trees Ye Mo planted would have dried up long ago.

With nothing to do, Ye Mo manually watering is also a pleasure.

The pressure of the water is so high that it can be sprayed out six or seven meters.

According to the weather forecast, there will be no rain for the next few days, so Ye Mo thinks about going out to water…

3,000 coconut saplings in the gentle slope area.

These seedlings were all about half a meter long, and some of them were transplanted with shells.

On the side of the road, the big coconut trees planted by Ye Mo are all about two meters long, and those are all dwarf coconut trees. When it was transplanted, Ye Mo had watered the Lingquan, and recently found that several coconut trees had grown flower spikes.

Ye Mo is looking forward to the fruit tree growing up quickly and bearing fruit.

The alpine orchard area is quite large.

But watering with a high-pressure hose is very fast. It was dark, and the 100 or so coconut groves were all watered.

After packing up my things, I drove to the top of the mountain and pressed the water switch.

I have used up a lot of water today, pumping water to fill the pond.

The pond on the top of the mountain is 4 acres, with a round mouth, small at the bottom and large at the top, with a maximum depth of 3.4 meters. Small steel bars were laid around, and cement was poured…

More than 200 tons of cement were used for this pond.

There are heat-insulating color steel tiles on the pond to prevent the sun from drying out and evaporate quickly.

However, when it rains, the rainwater from the top of the mountain will be poured into the pond.

There is a pumping station next to the pumping well, and the pumping time can be set, and when the time is up, it will stop by itself. In addition, if the water level of the machine well is lower than a certain height, the machine will automatically stop. There is no need to worry about pumping too much water and it will be wasted…

If the water in the pond on the mountain is full, it will flow to the pond below the mountain through the pipeline.

In addition, if the pond under the mountain is full, it will flow into the large pond next to the durian garden.

The large pond can hold 21,000 tons when it is full of water. The largest water surface area is about 7 mu.

Alpine Orchard has three ponds, one is 4 mu, the other is 2.7 mu, and the other is 7 mu. There are 47 reservoirs…

Pack up your things and go down the mountain. It will be dark, and Ye Ran is still driving the excavator there.

Ye Mo slammed the horn twice.

Chen Chen and his parents are here, planting fruit trees…

“Third Uncle, Third Aunt, don’t go home yet.” Ye Mo got out of the car and shouted.

“Soon, there are still a few seedlings left. I’ll go back after planting.” The third uncle said.

“Brother Ye Mo.” Chen Chen put down his work, shouted, and came up to light a cigarette for Ye Mo.

Ye Mo nodded and asked, “Do you want water for irrigation?”

“There is a tap water valve here, so there is water,” Chen Chen said. He applied for a fruit shed construction permit. When Ye Mo installed the water and electricity, he also installed the connectors in advance.

“Brother.” Ye Ran stopped the machine and trotted to the top of the mountain.

Ye Mo responded, and said: “Uncle, Aunt, I’ll go back first.”

Aunt replied: “Go to my house for dinner.” “No. Go to eat

at noon tomorrow…” Ye Ran said with a smile : “Chen Chen, I’m going back.”

“Okay.”

Sitting in the car, Ye Mo said, “How many days can we finish the work here?”

“Tomorrow…the day after tomorrow. Hurry up, we can finish it tomorrow. Slow down, the day after tomorrow at the latest… What, there is work?” “Ye Ran asked with sparkling eyes.

“Auntie took over a job for you to clean the stumps in the orchard. There are more than 100 acres of fruit trees. The other party quoted 145 yuan per hour.” Ye Mo said with a smile, “Are you interested?”

“Cleaning the stumps in the orchard, Just to dig out the stump?” Ye Ran asked.

“Yeah.”

“Where is it, the stump of a tree.”

“Xiatang Town, the stump of an orange tree.” Ye Mo said.

Ye Mo’s work here is basically done, and Ye Ran has nothing to do here.

The two excavators at home can go out to make money.

Ye Ran nodded vigorously: “Okay, I’ll finish the work at hand quickly. Well, brother… I go out to drive an excavator, how much will you pay me?”

“You go out to drive, and all the income will be yours. You settle the score.” Ye Mo said with a smile.

“Hee hee… Thank you, my dear brother.”

Ye Ran helped Chen Chen open up wasteland during this time, charging 70 yuan per hour.

Ye Mo’s Kubota excavator is used to open up wasteland, and its fuel consumption is four to five liters per hour… This is only the main fuel, and the auxiliary fuel is not counted.

According to the current oil price, the fuel consumption is about 35 yuan per hour.

He is from the same village, and he is the godson of his parents. Going out to work, Ye Mo’s small excavator charges at least 135 yuan.

When the excavator starts work, the wear and tear and depreciation must be calculated. It costs 135 yuan an hour, which is not expensive. Although the excavator is small, its working efficiency is really not slow.
