Alpine Orchard

Chapter 15 Gaotupo【For collection, recommendation】

have eaten.

The afternoon sun was shining brightly.

Ye Mo's uncle had something to do in the afternoon, so after dinner, he went to the orchard to pick mangoes.

Some golden mangoes were deliberately left on the tree.

Dongmen Town mainly grows two kinds of mangoes, Jinhuang mango and Kate mango.

The amount of mangoes planted in Jinhuang Mango is relatively small, and they are sold very well after they hit the market.Ye Mo's family started picking Jinhuang mangoes in early July, and kept some on purpose. Until now...the mangoes still on the trees have matured naturally.Pick it up and eat it.

Kate's mangoes are still in the early stage of ripening.

They sell fruits here, and the fruit buyers will come to see them in advance and negotiate the price in advance.

Once the price is negotiated, the price cannot be changed.When it comes time to pick, whether the price of Kate mangoes rises or falls, it has nothing to do with the fruit growers.It is equivalent to selling in advance...

Selling in advance is of great benefit to fruit growers.

In the fruit market, the price of fruit varies greatly.In the past, the purchasers came to see the fruit after the fruit was ripe, and offered quotations...negotiate the purchase according to the market price.

Fruit merchants do little preparation in advance, and as long as the output is more, it will lead to a series of problems.In the early years, that is, three or four years ago... the local mangoes with slightly lower quality were cheaper than Chinese cabbage.There are also mangoes in the orchard that cannot be sold and are rotten on the trees.

Negotiate the purchase price in advance and estimate the approximate output. The fruit merchants are prepared, and the fruit growers are also prepared.

The quality of the mangoes in Huacheng is absolutely undeniable.

But the geographical location of Huacheng is surrounded by mountains.In their local area, all kinds of tropical fruits are quite cheap.When shipped out, the transportation cost will account for the bulk.

When Ye Mo was in Shenzhen, he went to the supermarket to buy Kate mangoes from Huacheng. The extra-large fruit cost 30 yuan per catty.Ordinary catties, that is, about 1 catty of mangoes, cost more than ten yuan per catty.

But that's the final price.

Like the mangoes from Ye Mo’s family, the mangoes are combed three times, and the preserved mangoes are big and good-looking... The wholesale price is 3.5 yuan per catty.The quality is even worse, more than two yuan per catty, and there are cheaper ones.

……

Chen Chen is going back.

Ye Mo rode a battery car and sent him back.

Some fruit buyers are negotiating the price of mangoes in their area...

Chen Chen's father had inconvenient legs and was sitting on the steps under the shade of the trees by the courtyard.

"Third Uncle." Seeing Father Chen, Ye Mo shouted.

"Hey." Father Chen smiled and stood up: "The two pieces of land on Gaotupo, I discussed with Chen Chen's mother and sold them."

"Thank you third uncle."

Father Chen took out a cigarette and lit one for Ye Mo: "Thank you, thank you, the price you gave is too high, and our family took advantage."

"I don't understand the process of land transfer very well. Do I need a certificate from Murakami?" Ye Mo asked.

"No need. There is a young man Huang in the town who works as a real estate agent and also handles land transfers. When you have time, we can ask him to help draft a contract, and he will take us to the town to go through the formalities." Father Chen Say.Land transfers are not new on their side. As a mountainous area where tropical fruits can be grown, land contracting and transfers are relatively frequent here.

Chen Chen's second uncle used to have more than 15 mu of orchard, but he transferred [-] mu of it.

You have to manage the orchard to get a harvest, and you have to manage it well.no pain no gain……

It takes a lot of sweat to reap good fruit.

The wages of local farmers are very high, especially during busy farming hours.One day, almost more than 300 yuan.

With the labor force of a family, it is very difficult to carefully manage a mango orchard of about [-] acres.

Planting fruits is similar to planting food and vegetables...there are busy and slack seasons.When the farming season is busy, it is really hard.

"Okay, I will drive over to pick you up tomorrow morning and go to the town to sign the contract." Ye Mo said.

"it is good."

"See you tomorrow morning..." Ye Mo said and waved his hands, looked at the towering mountains in the distance, and was about to go to the mountains to have a look.

……

"Dad, are you really going to sell the two pieces of land over there?" Chen Chen watched Ye Mo leave, turned to look at his father, and said.

"Sell it. It's useless to keep it..." Chen Chen's father said that it would take a lot of money to reclaim those lands to grow mangoes.They have no money...

Chen Chen himself was somewhat reluctant to part with the land over there.

Father Chen smiled, pulled him to sit next to him, and said, "Ye Mo paid 66 yuan, which is not cheap. It is 16 more than the previous boss Kuang. The boss gave 50 yuan before, and I actually wanted to It was sold. We have no ability to reclaim that piece of land, and in exchange for 66, we can buy you a house in the city and marry a wife."

"Let's get your leg healed first. We still owe uncles and them 11... We should pay the money first." Chen Chen said, "It's not worth buying a house in the city, so it's better to build a small villa at home. "

"This……"

"Dad, listen to me. Let's pay back the money first, and then heal your leg... and then build a villa at home. After your leg is cured, our family's life will definitely get better and better."

"Yeah. Okay, I'll listen to you. After the villa is built, if there is any money left, I will buy you a car." Dad Chen said with a smile: "I think Ye Mo's car looks very good, how much does it cost?" Money?"

"Brother Ye Mo's car is Hongqi, a large SUV... That car is very expensive, estimated to be around 60."

Father Chen took a deep breath: "It's so expensive."

"In the future, we will manage the 26-acre orchard at home, and we can earn more than a dozen or two 10,000+ a year. When we have money, we can also buy a good car."

"Hahaha...Okay."

……

Follow the country road to the end.

Ye Mo rode on the dirt road, and after walking for a while, he arrived at the foot of Gaotupo Mountain.

The dirt road of Gaotupo was opened up by the Ye family and the Chen family together, and the gentle hillside on the side of the dirt road spirals up.That's 80 meters high...

After going up, a large piece of flat land is similar to those in the orchards at the bottom of the mountain. In most areas, fruit trees can be planted directly without reclamation of terraced fields.

Generally speaking, the top of the mountain is a small hill, plus a large prominent bump.

The area of ​​the big soil bag is just over [-] mu, which is about the size of two standard football fields.

Two standard football fields are not too small.

The mountains are desolate.

All the formerly large shrubs and trees were cut down.But there are new little shrubs growing up...

Weeds are not particularly lush, and bare rocks and soil can be seen in many places.

Chen Chen and his family had planted mangoes on the top of the mountain before, but due to limited manpower and funds, the mango orchard here was abandoned.The mango trees that have not been managed much, the trees that are still alive, have grown into shrubs.A tree, covered with vines.

There are not many mango trees on the mountain, and it is estimated that they are only a few hundred, less than a thousand.Growth is poor.

The total is 150 mu, which is the registered area.The actual area should be somewhat larger.

Undulating gentle slope.

Follow the dirt road to the durian garden...

The durian trees here were planted by Ye Modu in his first year of high school.Ye Mo even came over to help dig the soil.

In that year, 750 durian trees were planted, and many seedlings were replanted later.

Durian saplings were very expensive at the time, 750 trees, plus later replanting...a total of 10,000 trees, it is said that it cost [-]+.Grandpa Ye Mo borrowed that money from Second Master, but he never paid it back.

The second master is rich and runs a pig feed business in Dongmen Town.The second master was never married... After he passed away, the house in the town was given to grandpa.After the grandfather passed away, the house in the town belonged to Uncle Ye Mo...

It's true that they have a dry and hot valley climate. Many types of tropical fruits can be grown, the typical... pineapple.

However, jackfruit can also be grown at lower altitudes.

The altitude on their side is close to 1500 meters, which belongs to the top of the dry hot valley...

If the altitude exceeds 1500 meters, it is not easy to grow tropical fruits.For durian, the temperature required to grow is higher.

Everyone said that Grandpa Ye Mo had been cheated, but he had a twisted temper and would not listen to persuasion.

Others say that durians cannot be grown here, hey, he just doesn't listen.

When grandpa was still there, this durian garden was always under management.Every year, Grandpa would call Dad Ye, Second Uncle and Younger Uncle to fertilize and water the durian trees.

After grandpa left, the durian tree was not managed much.

At least 700 durian trees survived that year.Because of lack of management, some trees that have been entangled by vines in recent years have died.

Ye Mo came to the side of the durian garden and looked up.

The tallest of these trees is six or seven meters.It should be higher than a two-story building...

Short tree, about five meters.

I don't know if there are five hundred trees that are still alive.

The durian tree has grown for more than ten years, and the climate here is not bad.These durian trees are alive.

In recent years, there have also been flowering and fruiting...

Ye Mo looked carefully at the tree, looked around, and saw two durians on the tree.A large forest, two durians... The durians are not big, with long stalks and the shape of a football.

"It turned out?" Ye Mo was amazed, and took out his phone to take two photos.

More than [-] acres of durian, with two fruits...

However, it proves that durians can be grown here.The durian tree can be planted alive, and it can also bloom and bear fruit... It is the fruit on the tree, which does not grow big.

But now there are two durians on the tree, if Ye Mo lets all the durian trees bear fruit in the future, it won't be surprising.
