Alpine Orchard

Chapter 45 Orchard Irrigation Systems
Ye Mo hired more than a dozen helpers.

Parents also came, as well as my second uncle and second aunt.

Two excavators worked from morning to night, clearing more than 100 mu of land a day.

Just clear the bushes and weeds, no special leveling of the land is required.The hired helpers were mainly to help clean up the weeds and shrubs removed by the excavator, and to lay the pipeline with Ye Mo.And plant coconut trees...

In the middle and late May, the temperature is getting higher and higher day by day.

There were two light rains in a row, which only served to moisten the land.The rain in the evening, the sun the next day, the water evaporates to dryness.

The two reservoirs on the mountain are not filled with water.

The freshly planted coconut seedlings are irrigated with irrigation water.

Daybreak.

Ye Ran went out to drive the excavator...

Ye Mo drove the micro-digger, digging the route for laying the pipeline.

"Ye Mo." Dad shouted.

"What are you doing?" Ye Mo turned his head when he heard the voice.

"The water pipe for irrigation is out of water." Papa Ye shouted.

"how come……"

"See for yourself."

Ye Mo stopped the machine and called Qian Peng, the captain of the production team: "Hello, Captain Qian."

"what?"

"The water pipes for irrigation on your side, is there any water?"

"There is no water. The water level of the Niujiaoling Reservoir has dropped severely, and the water was cut off yesterday." Qian Peng said: "However, the weather forecast says that there will be heavy rain tomorrow, and the water supply should be restored after tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm sorry."

"No trouble."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Mo spread his hands: "There is no water in the reservoir."

"What should I do?"

"The weather forecast says heavy rain tomorrow."

"One rain can solve the problem?" Papa Ye said.

"Niujiaoling is a mountain reservoir. As long as it rains, a large area of ​​water will flow into the reservoir, and the reservoir will be filled with water soon," Ye Mo said.I can only think so.

It is also possible for a heavy rainstorm to reach hundreds of milliliters.

The weather this year is particularly dry. It was only in mid-May that there were two consecutive rains that were not bad.

After the rain, the hot and dry valley is full of vitality.In just a few days, the world came alive.

The family is shouting for dinner.

When I got home, the food was already on the table.

"Second Uncle, how did your talk go yesterday?" Ye Mo filled a bowl of tomato and egg soup, looked at Second Uncle, and asked.

After Chen Chen visited the Yumin Orchard and went back, he told his uncle Chen Shan, who then contacted some people who were interested in continuing to plant fruit trees, and came here to see the orchard.

There are quite a lot of people who are willing to continue to operate the orchard.

There were 287 households in the original Huangtupo Village. According to statistics, there are 131 households who are willing to operate orchards.This also includes Ye Mo's parents, second uncle and his family, and Ye Zhi and his wife are also willing to continue to manage the orchard.

Chen Shan has talked about it several times in the past, and I heard that the price was mentioned at 1.7 million.

"Basically, it's settled. The entire Yumin Orchard is transferred for 1.68 million...the rest is up to the government." The second uncle said with a smile.

They jointly bought the orchard and moved Huangtupo Village here.The relocation of the village requires the consent of the local government.Among them, the most important one is to plan homesteads for them.

Without a homestead, buy an orchard alone and manage it in the form of a company?Probably not too many people would.

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Chen Shan has approached the Huacheng government before, and the Huacheng government will send people here to negotiate." Ye Pa said.

More than 100 households have settled here. It is not an easy thing to feel.

The current homestead quota is not easy to deal with, and as a demolition village, everyone has a house in the city again.

However, as a demolition village, the entire village will enter the city, and everyone's future work and livelihood will also be a difficult problem.There are a certain number of families who are willing to go to the countryside to continue farming, and the government should support it.

After all, in their village, most people have no skills other than managing orchards.

"The coconut seedlings in the warehouse are only enough for planting today. When will the coconut seedlings in the back be delivered?" Ye Ran asked.

"I'll be there in the afternoon."

I bought 1.3 coconut seedlings online before, and the merchant gave away more than 300 coconut seedlings.

Those coconut seedlings look good.

Ye Mo contacted the merchant again and asked him to help purchase another batch, this time 1 trees.All are dwarf golden coconuts...

There are many coconut planters in Leizhou, and there are also many coconut seedlings.

Not all nurseries will sell online.The coconut seedlings Ye Mo purchased this time cost 2 cents more each than last time.

1300 mu, planting 25 trees per mu requires more than 3 trees.

However, Ye Mo does not plan to plant coconuts in all flat areas.

have eaten.

Liu Bin brought a group of helpers to the mountain, along with many old people and some people who were not helpers.

"Boss Ye." Liu Bin shouted.

Ye Mo responded.

"I asked everyone to pack the shrubs on the mountain and go back to make firewood." Liu Bin said.

"Yeah." Ye Mo nodded: "Okay."

In Dashan Village, although the transportation is convenient, many families still maintain the habit of burning firewood.Especially some old people...

Every time it's cooking time, you can still see the smoke curling up in the mountain, floating halfway up the mountain.

Cooking smoke is already a difficult sight to see.

The leaf ink of these shrubs on the mountain cannot be used, and they cannot be sold for money if they are kept, and it is troublesome to dispose of them.It's a good thing when someone wants firewood.

Started to work.

There are two orchard scarifiers, scarifying the soil.

Just loosen the surface soil, crush the surface soil, and smooth it out.

The scarifier is a scarifier used in orchards. Ye Mo originally wanted to rent it from nearby villagers. The owner of the scarifier gave it to Ye Mo for free.

During this time, Ye Mo and the villagers of Team 7 of Changzhu Village have become acquainted.

Gaoshanping has irrigation water pipes, and when there is water, the water pressure is very high.

In this orchard, Ye Mo only plans to plant two kinds of fruits on a large scale, coconut and durian.These planted, do not know how long it will bear fruit.

Ye Mo cut down the existing mango orchard on the mountain.Fruit trees transplanted from the high soil slope are planted, including gerbera, mango, pomegranate, and coconut trees.

Ye Mo has already completed the later planning of Gaoshanping.

After the busy period, Ye Mo will level the road in the orchard.But not ready to repair concrete roads...

The main reason is lack of money.

When the orchard is finished, see how much money is left on hand.If there is more funds, build several hilltop cisterns.

There is Niubei Mountain in Gaoshanping, which is the highest hillside in Gaoshanping.There is a drop of 60-[-] meters between the top of the mountain and the valley, and a drop of more than ten meters from the second highest hillside.

Build several reservoirs on Niubei Mountain and connect them to the irrigation system...

As long as the condensation talisman is made, the problem of water shortage should be solved in the future.

Ye Mo's main energy now is to design the irrigation system of the entire orchard. In the early stage, Ye Mo is not going to hire workers.At most, when people need to be hired, the villagers are asked to come up to help.In this way, the irrigation system is particularly important...

To be honest, Ye Mo didn't want to make himself too tired.
