Alpine Orchard - Chapter 311

[Chapter 311 Eating Coconuts]

Lin Xiaomian took Ye Ran’s car and went back first.

Ye Mo helped put the durians on, and said, “Let’s sit at home for a while and have a cup of tea.”

“I want to eat coconuts, so go pick some coconuts and eat them.” Li Xuebin said with a smile.

“Is there a coconut tree over there?” Boss Nie said.

“Ah?” Ye Mo nodded. Such an obvious coconut tree…

“I thought it was a palm tree just now.” Boss Nie smiled and said, “Let’s go, pick coconuts and eat them. The coconut water at this point is the sweetest.”

“Let’s go.” Ye Mo smiled and got into the car and came to the big warehouse.

There is also an off-road dump truck at the big warehouse. Ye Mo changed the truck and took a ladder and a hatchet.

“Boss Ye is a particular person. Look at these coconut groves, they are neat and tidy, and they are all green lawns…beautiful.” Boss Wei was very happy when he got a super-large durian fruit.

“There are five to six hundred acres of coconut trees as green lawns. There are also alfalfa plants…” Li Xuebin said.

The cement road leads directly to Niubei Mountain.

At the foot of Niubei Mountain, there is a large coconut tree.

Ye Mo arrived first, and was already building the ladder. He picked up the hatchet and climbed up, and with two knives…he chopped the coconut.

A bunch of coconuts, seven or eight.

This bunch of coconuts is not big, about two to three catties each.

“Chop more, I’ll take it back and eat.” Li Xuebin said.

“Do you want something sweeter, or something sweeter?” Ye Mo said.

“Sweet.” Li Xuebin said: “Don’t be too sweet.”

Generally speaking, the coconut meat of old coconuts is more fibrous, but coconut water will be sweeter. Tender coconut coconut meat will taste much better, but coconut water will feel a bit astringent.

In addition, coconuts from different origins have different tastes.

There are also coconuts grown in Huacheng. After Li Xuebin tasted the coconuts from Ye Mo, he deliberately went to find coconuts produced locally in Huacheng. How should I put it, not to mention the small size, the taste is a bit sour…or it is astringent, and the astringency is obvious.

The best coconut producing area in China is in Hainan, where the coconuts are sweet and delicious.

Ye Mo’s coconuts are similar to Hainan coconuts, and even better. Coconut water has a light coconut fragrance, which is very special.

There are flower spikes growing on the big trees here, almost every tree has flower spikes. All coconuts can be eaten too… some coconuts are tender and some have hard flesh inside.

Ye Mo chopped five bunches of coconuts, thirty or forty of them. There are old ones and some tender ones.

“Old coconut water is better to drink, especially sweet. The pulp inside is also very fragrant. After beating in a soybean milk machine, there is no need to add sugar…it is super sweet.” Ye Mo said that he chopped an older coconut for Li Xuebin, and said : “Try it.”

“Yeah.” Li Xuebin took the coconut and took a sip of coconut water. The coconut water inside was a little whitish, with obvious sweetness and coconut fragrance: “Top.”

Ye Mo thought about chopping off a few more, and handed them to Boss Wei and the others.

Boss Nie likes coconut very much and eats it almost every day. Holding the coconut in his arms, Boss Nie took a sip…it was so comfortable.

It’s hotter here in Huacheng than in Guangzhou. I was sweating a lot just now when I was looking for durians in the durian garden. Now sit down, blowing the wind on the side of the mountain again, and take a sip of the still cool coconut water… This coconut water is sweet, with a distinct sweetness.

It’s sweet and refreshing, with the smell of coconut meat…

Boss Nie is so comfortable that he almost groans.

This leaf looks big, but there is not much coconut water in it. A coconut, I drank it in a few sips, got up and opened one myself.

The leaves are green and tender.

Li Xuebin also hugged a green coconut, and after waiting for Boss Nie to open the coconut, he took the hatchet and did it himself.

Everyone sat in a row and drank the coconuts.

Ye Mo took out a cigarette and handed it to everyone: “Smok a cigarette, sit and rest for a while.”

Boss Wang lit the cigarette and said, “The scenery here is really beautiful.”

“The scenery is good, but it’s a bit remote.” Li Xuebin said: “By the way, this village also has a very good fruit producing area, with several thousand acres of mangoes and thousands of acres of pomegranates.”

“What kind of mango is it?”

“Kate mango.” The quality of Kate mangoes is not bad. In addition, compared with those in major producing areas, the price of mangoes here is also cheaper.”

“Then go and have a look later.”

“When are the Kate mangoes here ripe?”

“This year’s The weather means picking at the end of September or early October.” Li Xuebin said: “If we can determine the market in advance, I can arrange a good time here, and try to pick the ripest ones in batches. This year’s temperature is high, and most of the mangoes are ahead of schedule. It’s ripe.”

“What’s the approximate price when it’s delivered to us?”

“It’s hard to say. This year’s mango prices are generally high…Kate mangoes that ripen late in high-altitude areas are also the most expensive in the region.” Li Xuebin said : “The altitude of the production area I’m talking about is 1500 meters – 1550 meters. This is Gaoshanping, the highest altitude of Gaoshanping, it should be 1370 meters.”

“Almost.” Ye Mo said.

“Mangoes with an altitude of more than 1,500 meters…” Boss Wang looked at Li Xuebin: “Is there really such a high altitude?

” road.

In the production area at the beginning of 1500 meters, if the fruit growers know how to manage it, they can postpone the ripening of Kate mango until November.

Today’s temperature is too high.

Early spring, the end of May and June… until now, there have been many times of extreme high temperature weather.

The Kate mangoes of Team 11 in Changzhu Village must be picked at the end of September.

Picking period is not equal to maturity.

Most of the mangoes for export are picked before they are ripe. If it ripens naturally on the tree… the mangoes that ripen naturally on the tree will definitely taste better, but it is not convenient to transport.

“Let’s wait and see. If it’s really good and the price is right, we’ll take it.” Boss Wei said.

“It’s really good…” Li Xuebin said with a smile: “Chinese people don’t lie to Chinese people   .

”

It’s not too far away. The environment over there is also very beautiful, I’ll go there later and take a look as a sightseeing tour.” Li Xuebin said.

“Okay.” Boss Wei opened another green coconut. Compared with coconuts with yellowed skin, green coconuts are not so sweet and not so fragrant, but Boss Wei just likes the fragrance and light fragrance of green coconuts.

“I heard from Boss Li that you use organic fertilizer here?” Boss Wang looked at Ye Mo and said.

Li Xuebin waved his hands and said, “I didn’t say that pure organic fertilizers are used here, but that a lot of organic fertilizers are used here.”

Ye Mo said: “We mainly use organic fertilizers, and the amount of other fertilizers is relatively small. A lot of organic fertilizers are used. It is easier to use fertilizers with very few other fertilizers. Just like watermelon and cantaloupe, it is very troublesome to use pure organic fertilizers in management. A large amount of organic fertilizers, used together with other fertilizers, is mainly to supplement the fertilizer elements of the soil. ”

If all pure organic fertilizers are used, the super big watermelon will grow to more than two hundred catties, and I don’t know how much Lingquan will be used.

There are also watermelons, cantaloupe…the industry will not be so high. Moreover, it is too difficult to awaken the growth of second-crop melons with pure organic fertilizer.

“Many organic fertilizers also contain nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, but it’s just a matter of content.” Boss Wei said, “It’s fine if the data of the fruit produced does not exceed the standard. The most important thing is to use less pesticides, and the pesticide indicators cannot exceed the standard…”

I really didn’t go fishing today.

I don’t know what’s going on today, and I cut off the electricity from time to time… I’m very irritable.
