Alpine Orchard

Chapter 46 Let me tell you something

It was past five in the afternoon.

The more than 3000 coconut seedlings sent before have all been planted.

A new batch of coconut seedlings just arrived.

The villagers helped unload the coconut seedlings, and then got off work.

In the evening, the sky is covered with fish-like white clouds.

"Brother Liu." The workers packed up their things and were about to leave work, Ye Mo called to stop Liu Bin.

"what?"

"The weather forecast says that there will be heavy rain tomorrow. Rest for a few days first, and I still have some preparations to do." Ye Mo lit a cigarette for Liu Bin.

"Row."

Ye Mo settled the wages, watched Liu Bin and the others leave, got on the off-road dump truck, loaded two large barrels of diesel oil and sent it to Ye Ran.

More than 800 acres have been reclaimed.

The planting area of ​​coconut seedlings is 652 mu, with only 25 trees per mu.

I read on the Internet that 25-30 coconut trees can be planted per mu.Yemo only planted 25 trees, leaving more space.

When the work is over, Ye Mo will irrigate with Huilingquan.

Coconut seedlings irrigated with Lingquan grow very fast.

The coconut seedlings transplanted from the high soil slope and irrigated with Lingquan have all grown trunks.

There is also the coconut tree originally used for roadside greening, which is also a dwarf coconut tree. When I bought it, it was 2 meters high. Not long after planting, it bloomed with flower spikes.The coconuts on top are ready to eat before transplanting.

Up to now, the trunk part of the dwarf coconut tree has a height of nearly 2 meters, and the overall height is close to 3 meters.

Coconuts are divided into tall coconuts and dwarf coconuts. Among them, the tall coconut plant is 15-30 meters high, with a swollen base, cross-pollination, fruiting in 7-8 years, high oil content, and an economic life of 70-80 years.

Dwarf coconuts are divided into three categories according to fruit and leaf color: red dwarf, yellow dwarf and green dwarf.The plant is only 5-15 meters high, self-pollinated, and bears fruit in 3-4 years. The fruit is small and numerous, the coconut meat is thin and soft, and the oil content is low.The economic life is 30-40 years.

Now there are ultra-dwarf coconuts, which can bear fruit on their stomachs.This is a fragrant coconut introduced from Thailand...

Plants are more expensive.

Ye Mo introduced 1000 trees, which are in today's shipment.A plant, 110 yuan.

It’s okay to buy fruit trees at a higher price, the worst fear is to buy fake ones.

……

It's still early.

Ye Ran is also going to drive the excavator for a while.

A lot of bushes were cut down.But the cleaning speed of the excavator cannot keep up.

Dad Ye drove the micro-digger, and the bucket part of the micro-digger was replaced with a sharp pick and a flat pick, which is specially used for digging pipes and embedding wires.

It's just that occasionally big rocks will be dug out, which will delay some work.

The water pipe runs along the side of the road to a depth of about 40 cm.After the pipeline is erected, the soil will not be sealed until the gate is opened and tested.

It is not buried too deep, so as not to cause problems in the future, and it will be troublesome to replace.

Thickened water pipes, the car is directly pressed on the water pipes, it's all right.And it's thickened...

The irrigation system is still mainly manual.

I also thought about high-smart irrigation before, but the equipment needed is too complicated to understand.

Just use manual.

Main pipe, 63*5.8 [16 kg pressure], thickened 2-inch pipe.

Auxiliary pipe, 25*2.3 [16 kg pressure], thickened with 6 pipes.

The irrigation water from the Niujiaoling Reservoir is under sufficient pressure.It was tested when there was water before, and it can support 125 nozzles at the same time.

360-degree rotating nozzle, scattering + atomization.

There is one switch for every 25 nozzles.

The current more than 600 mu is all sprinkler irrigation.

The nozzle can be used to irrigate the grass in the orchard by the way.

The hundreds of acres of coconut groves are now near the gate, and the road planning is relatively good. After cultivation, it will be a tropical landscape coconut grove.If it is used as a villa or a resort in the future, the coconut grove can be used as the main attraction.Not only the coconut trees must be well maintained, but the green plants in the coconut forest must also be well maintained.

Afterwards, the coconut groves and durian groves will be drip-irrigated.Drip irrigation saves water more, and drip irrigation, a switch covers a larger area.

Sprinkler irrigation can only cover 20 mu at one time.But if drip irrigation is used, a switch can cover hundreds of acres.Drip irrigation requires less water...

Has been busy until dark, go home.

Ye Ma and Second Aunt cooked dinner at home and ate roast chicken with potatoes in the evening.

Ye Mo carried the frozen beer out: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt..." Opening the beer, Ye Mo handed it to Second Uncle and Second Aunt.

They have been here for several days and have been helping here.

"Have you calculated the cost of sprinkler irrigation?" Second Uncle asked.

"Forget it." Ye Mo said.

"How much does it cost to use sprinkler irrigation for an orchard of 1 mu? The Yumin Orchard should be completed soon. After I get the orchard, I will also prepare for sprinkler irrigation." The second uncle said with a smile.

Sprinkler irrigation, waste of water, but the effect is good.

"One mu is about 1 yuan."

A switch connects 25 nozzles to form a set.Covering an area of ​​exactly 1 mu...

The density of coconut trees here in Yemo is 5.2 meters by 5.1 meters

This set of sprinkler irrigation has a main pipe of 5.2 meters and an auxiliary pipe of 127 meters.The coverage area is exactly 1 mu.

Large orchard, easy to plan.This account is easy to calculate.

A nozzle with a support costs 27 yuan.

Supervisor 950 yuan, 100 meters.

Auxiliary pipe 370 yuan, 200 meters.

Then the area of ​​1 mu is about 1000 yuan.Adding in the cost of diesel... excluding labor, the actual cost of 1 mu of land is about 1000 yuan, or a little more.But it won't exceed [-] or two hundred yuan...

In actual operation, there are some discrepancies in the use of materials.But the difference is not that big.

There are 1 coconut trees in 25 mu. In practice, only 20 sprinklers need to be installed.But to enlarge the area...the other is the laying of the main pipeline...

The cost of this piece is 1000 to 1200 yuan per mu.

"One mu in the early 3150s is not expensive. What about drip irrigation?" The second uncle said, "I wanted to do drip irrigation in my hometown before, and the price was [-] yuan per mu."

"Drip irrigation, the most important thing is to look at the drip irrigation head. A better drip irrigation head costs more than 1 yuan a piece, and a cheap drip irrigation head costs two or three yuan each. A drip irrigation head, one drip irrigation head per tree..." Ye Mo said: " Then there is the water pipe. The cost is about the same."

"If I buy an orchard in the future, you can help me get it." The second uncle said with a smile.

"On call." Ye Mo said with a smile, and touched the bowl with his second uncle.Bucket bowls with beer...

They like to use bucket bowls for drinking, which is enjoyable to drink.

To be honest, if it is just an orchard that is not open for operation, drip irrigation equipment is more cost-effective, can save a lot of water, and the effect is better.

After dinner, it was dark.

Ye Mo took Xiao Mu for a walk after dinner.

Now Xiaomu has grown up, well-behaved and obedient.Just followed Ye Mo, wagging his tail.

"Brother." Ye Ran chased him out.

"What are you doing?"

"Tell you something." Ye Ran said.

"What's the matter."

"You really don't want to fall in love?" Ye Ran said.

"I'm so busy now, how can I have time to fall in love." Ye Mo shook his head.

"You don't have social phobia, or fear of marriage?" Ye Ran looked at him.

"Nothing."

"When I was working today, an aunt asked me if you have a girlfriend. She said that she has a very beautiful niece. If you are interested, I will introduce you to each other." Ye Ran said.She wanted to introduce her classmate to Ye Mo before, but Ye Mo refused. Not long after, Ye Ran's classmate was called a friend.

"What's the name of that aunt?"

"My surname is Yun. I don't know my first name."

Knowing the surname Yun, Ye Mo knew who it was.

Yun surname, a very rare surname.Ye Mo only knew one aunt surnamed Yun, who lived on the other side of the valley towards Yumin Orchard.

Aunt Yun and Ye Mo's parents are about the same age, but Aunt Yun has an aura, which is not like a person living in the mountains, but more like a young lady from a scholarly family.And indeed, Aunt Yun used to be a teacher at Changzhu Village Primary School.

Aunt Yun makes people feel very comfortable, and she speaks softly.

"Forget it." Ye Mo shook his head: "It would be embarrassing if it didn't happen."

"I've seen a picture of her niece." Ye Ran said as he took out his phone and clicked on the photo. On it was a girl holding flowers, with a particularly bright smile: "Well, she's much prettier than your previous blind date."

The girls in the photo are really pretty.

Her delicate face, especially her smile, gave people a very comfortable feeling.

"She's so pretty, doesn't she have a boyfriend and needs to go on a blind date?" Ye Mo was a little moved.

Ye Ranbai glanced at Ye Mo, and said, "Aunt Yun told me that she hasn't had a boyfriend yet, and she just graduated from university..."

"I've never been in love, who would believe me?"

"What's the matter with being in love?" Ye Ran said angrily, "Isn't it good enough for you? Don't be too picky, you're both 30 years old, just an old man."

The girls in the photo are beautiful.

Blind date, in fact, nothing.

Ye Mo often goes on blind dates.

But every time he goes on a blind date, Ye Mo gets nervous.Not social phobia, but blind date phobia.

At Ye Mo's age, if you really want to say that you don't want to start a family, there shouldn't be too many people.However, Ye Mo felt that he really suffered from blind date phobia.

"Aunt Yun's birthday is the day after tomorrow. If you want, I'll tell Aunt Yun that you go to have dinner on her birthday. If you don't want to, forget it." Ye Ran made an angry expression: "Everyone is for you Don’t be in a hurry, you are not in a hurry.”
