Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 181 Chapter 180: OK OK
Li Muyang didn't expect that when he returned home in a few days, the most troublesome thing would be Little Happiness.

He originally put the puppy he brought back in a small basket, thinking that he would make arrangements after dawn, but when it was still dark, Xiao Xingfu, who was doing daily inspections, discovered that he had returned.So I came to his room.

As a result, I found the little puppy.

Immediately not happy.

It’s not that one mountain cannot accommodate two dogs.But Coyotito clearly had the aura of a wild animal, which made Xiao Xingfu very uncomfortable.

Li Muyang didn't know when he came in.

He was woken up by Little Happy's sharp scream, and he fumbled to light the kerosene lamp, and saw that Little Happy's eyes actually glowed blue under the dim light.

It still looks scary.

But the puppy in the basket didn't feel the crisis at all. He just lay back and forth on the edge of the basket, observing the surrounding environment.

The shouts here also woke up Li Xiangqin.

She hurried to Li Muyang's room.When he opened the door, he realized that Li Muyang was back.

"Brother, you didn't tell me when you were coming back. Wake me up!"

Where is this old dog? "

"I came back late at night. I saw that you were all asleep, so I didn't disturb you. I picked up this dog in the mountains. I saw how pitiful he was, so I brought him back. However, our little happiness doesn't seem to welcome him."

"Oh. Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with it. After all, someone of the same kind suddenly came to the house, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it. But our dog has a bad temper. It would be weird if you don't bark when something like this suddenly comes to you."

Li Muyang smiled.

Li Xiangqin's little happiness rushed to the door and stood at the door and asked Li Muyang.

"Brother, did you eat last night? Do you want to help you make something to eat?"

"No, you go to sleep. It's almost dawn and you can still sleep for a while."

"Okay, I'll squint a little longer."

Li Xiangqin went back to her room, but Xiao Xingfu was still guarding the door. She wanted to come in but was afraid that Li Muyang would tell her about it.

The main character is timid and unconvinced.

Li Muyang looked at the time and saw that it was already past four o'clock. It dawns early in summer and it would be bright in less than half an hour. He did not continue to sleep and got up directly, closed the door and came to Taoshan.

I haven't come here for five or six days, but the work here has not been lost.

The original thirty acres have been grafted.

As for the initial grafted test products, most of them have already sprouted buds, so the survival rate seems to be good.

I counted more than 30 trees, and 23 survived, a survival rate of close to 70.00%.

As long as it exceeds 60.00%, it is considered qualified, which proves that this grafting technology and the grafted saplings can meet the requirements.

If the subsequent grafting can ensure this level, then after three rounds, there will basically be very few surviving saplings left.

Totally acceptable.

Only then did Li Muyang feel relieved.

He turned to the other side and saw the remaining peach trees that had been artificially pollinated. The pollen had fallen and there were some peaches hanging on the treetops.

When he first saw these peach trees, Li Muyang was prepared to use the dead horse as a living horse doctor. Anyway, according to the season, it was impossible to graft all the peach trees.

Moreover, it will take three to five years for all grafts to be harvested. This cycle of money recovery is really too long.

He couldn't wait that long.

Cultivating peach trees is not just manual work, it also involves fertilizers, watering and other aspects.

Let’s talk about labor.

If he hires one person for 2 yuan a day, that would be 60 a month. If he maintains the standard of employing five people, it would be 300 yuan a month and close to 4000 yuan a year.These are all costs.

Don't look at it now that he is digging herbs and making a little money, but he is sitting on nothing. If he continues like this, he won't be able to last long.

His idea is simple, as long as the remaining peach trees can temporarily ensure a small fruit-bearing rate.Well, just sell it and get some of the money back, so you can maintain the previous expenses.

As for whether you can make money from it.That's the next best thing.

Li Muyang looked at dozens of trees one by one, made a rough estimate, and found that his fruit-bearing rate was only 50.00% at most.

A tree is considered good if it can produce 150 kilograms of peaches.

In total, it can produce about 5 pounds.

The wholesale price of a pound of peaches is 5 cents...just 3 cents, so 5 catties is 15000 yuan.

It should be no problem to cover all expenses.

But the premise is that it can be wholesaled. After all, it is a rural area. It is not said that every family has as many fruit trees as Li Muyang, but there are still one, two or three trees.
So, want to sell peaches at a nearby market.It's still quite difficult.

He had gone to the market before and found that a pound of peaches retailed for about [-] or [-] cents, and they could be sold wholesale at half the price.

But the wholesale quantity is limited.

Those small businessmen and hawkers would be fine if they asked for a few hundred kilograms at a time. Tens of thousands of kilograms of peaches would definitely not be consumed if they were in towns and villages. He should at least take them to the market.

He had thought about this in advance. After the peaches were stable, he would go to the city to find fruit shops or markets to try to sell them based on the quality of the peaches.

If sales aren't great, keep lowering prices.Doing business, to put it bluntly, is nothing more than a matter of whether product quality and price match.

He has reason to believe that even if the quality of the peaches is not good this year, making it difficult to wholesale, and if they are not easy to sell, they will become better after adjustments next year.

Cultivating fruit trees is actually the same as raising people. If you take good care of them, the harvest will be good.If you leave it to fend for itself, what will grow will basically be crooked melons and cracked dates, which will be useless at all.

Of course, that’s not to say that the crooked melon and cracked jujube is not delicious, it’s just that it doesn’t look good.

If you eat it at home, the more crooked the fruit is, the better it tastes. Everyone knows this.

But if you take it to the market to sell, people will subconsciously leave those weird-looking things behind and select the good-looking ones.

This is human nature, there is no way around it.

Peaches are a fruit that is very susceptible to bugs, or bugs.

Generally speaking, if you choose peaches and see insect holes, there must be insects inside the peach.

There are even lots of eggs.

But the more bug-eyed a peach is, the sweeter and more delicious it is.

Just break it open and dig out the eggs inside. These are all very clean and will not cause any harm to people.

On the contrary, it looks particularly smooth.Well, peaches with very good color are generally not very sweet, and even insects don’t want to eat them. You can imagine how delicious they are!

You know, these bugs all particularly like sweets, and the ones that attract them must be the ones with the highest sweetness.

Of course, peaches are actually the same as apricots. They are also divided into two categories. One category is soft peaches such as peaches. The requirement for this kind is that they must be very ripe, taste sweet and soft, and have a lot of water. delicious.

There is also a kind of peach that is like a yellow peach.

It can't be too cooked. If it's very rotten and soft to the touch, it won't have any flavor.Instead, start eating it when it is about to mature. The sweet and crunchy texture is the best.Well, there is also the fact that different people have different taste requirements when eating fruits. Some people particularly like to eat sweet fruits, and some people do not want them to be particularly sweet. This depends on each person’s taste.

In order to make these peach trees bear peaches.Li Muyang and the others also spent some effort to obtain lime some time ago.I have spread some, but I don’t know how the soil condition has improved?

He knew that the soil here was too acidic and needed to be neutralized a little.But how is the neutralization going?He doesn't know how to judge?
I vaguely remember that there was a way to detect it before. I might go to the nursery to ask about it some other time, or ask Wang Tianxiao, he should know.

In his previous life, he had no scientific concept of planting land and trees, and relied on experience for everything.But after some things, he now believes that everything should be done according to science.

The experience passed down from generation to generation is important, but it is not pioneering, so development is relatively slow.

Take grain growing for example. From ancient times to the present, the yield of grain has not changed significantly.

In just a few decades, with scientific advancement, food production has become much higher.

Fruit tree care is actually the same.

In the past, fruit trees were basically harvested from the sky.

When the weather is good, there will be a good harvest of fruits. If there is a natural disaster, the production will be reduced or even no harvest.

You cannot control your destiny in your own hands at all.

Li Muyang didn't want this.

If he had relied on the gods to harvest his dozens of acres of land, he would probably lose less than half a hair.

After Li Muyang finished walking around the land here, he wanted to see the fifty acres in the middle.

The fifty acres of land were acquired too late and there was no time for artificial pollination, but grafting was still possible.And it can adjust the pH of the soil, which can be regarded as a sharpening tool for chopping firewood.

As soon as he reached the end of the field, he saw the big horse on the mountain road charging towards him like a crazy buffalo.

Rushing to his side in one breath.

"Come back, come back!!"

Li Muyang saw that because he was in a hurry to go out, the buttons of his coat were buttoned out of place, so he helped him tie them with a wry smile.

Midama stood honestly, looking like she was enjoying herself.

"Da Ma, when I was not at home. Did you work well and behave well?"

"Okay, okay, let's take a look..."

Mi Dama took Li Muyang's arm and pulled him back.Walk the same ground again.

"Okay? Hehe."

Mi Dama was obviously very satisfied with his performance and looked like he was waiting for Li Muyang's praise.

"Not bad, it's worth rewarding you with two candied haws!"

"Candied haws, candied haws..."

Midama clapped his hands happily, and suddenly he ran back home like a whirlwind.

"Da Ma, why are you going?"

Midama didn't answer and ran quickly.

His legs are very long, so he has the advantage of running. His key frequency is very fast, and he can run far away after turning.

Just when Li Muyang was confused and wondering what this guy was going to do, he saw Mi Dama running back with another bag on his back.

This bag was prepared for him by Li Muyang, and it contained some, um, tools for grafting saplings.

"It's work, it's work!"

After Mi Dama came over, he directly put the bag on the ground and hung it on the book branch next to him. He took out the tools and started working.

The original thirty acres, except for the rest that usually bear peaches directly, have all been grafted, and now we are starting to gradually move towards the middle fifty acres.

"Da Ma, don't be in such a hurry, just take your time."

Midama completely ignored his suggestion, and instead of slowing down, he became even faster.

His walking, running, eating and doing things are completely different from his talking style.

It seems that only his brain is slower, and his speed is all compensated for by his movements.

Li Muyang stood aside and observed for a while.I found that compared to Malaysia's grafting ability, he was completely like a primary school student, not even a scumbag was left behind.

There is no other way, no matter how slow it is, you still have to do it, do it a little bit.

Just like that, he also took out a set of tools.Let's do it with Midama.

He just observed that lime can be spread here.But today he has to go to the market to sell red qi, and he also wants to go to the hospital to see his mother, so he doesn't have time to concentrate on spreading lime. He might as well wait until tomorrow.

The two of them chatted and worked at a very fast pace. They also worked on dozens of trees in the morning.

Of course, when it comes to chatting, in fact, most of the time it is Li Muyang who talks, and Mi Dama mostly uses very monotonous words.

However, he especially liked to laugh and could basically understand everything Li Muyang said.

Hearing the happy news, he danced with scissors and knives, as happy as a child.

To hear when you are unhappy.He would feel sad and bow his head in silence. He would not laugh until Li Muyang mentioned the next happy thing.

But even though he looks like this, he doesn't show that violent tendency. When he hears something that makes him angry, he just gets sad.

Like an eggplant beaten by frost, or like a puppy that has just been slapped with a stick, very pitiful.The more Li Muyang saw this situation, the more sad he became.

He didn't feel too childish in getting along with Mi Dama, but felt very relaxed.

People say that when dealing with people, they should be careful with each other.

Be more mature.

It's best not to be particularly honest, otherwise you will definitely be bullied or tripped up by others.

In fact, this is indeed how Li Muyang interacts with many people.

But perhaps because there were so many things like that, he seemed more relaxed and comfortable when he was with Midama.

At around ten o'clock, the weather gradually got hotter.

The two went home for dinner.Li Muyang planned to take Hongqi to Mi Qingsong after eating. He would first get the money back, and then pay it to Wang Tianxiao. It was not a big deal for him to be worried about so many things.

While eating, Nuan Nuan hadn't seen her uncle for a long time and kept pestering him.

He had no choice but to put Nuannuan on his lap and tease her while eating.

In fact, Nuan Nuan has already known how to eat by herself, but if she deliberately tries to eat from Li Muyang's bowl, her mother won't let her go.

Li Muyang was not angry, but found it very funny. He liked children so much.

I was thinking about when will their little girl Li Jing come into this world?
