Super Orchard

Chapter 100

In the orchard, Shen Yangguang was talking about the specifications of the fence to be built. Dumb and Agua were still thinking about the deliciousness of jerky, biting Shen Yangguang's trouser legs and going to the valley to the west, and it seemed that they were going to catch hares .

Shen Yangguang calmed down the two foodies who had finally become diligent. He didn't want to continue to catch hares now, otherwise there would be no place to put them. Everything will be discussed after the fence is built.

Considering that the hares might dig holes to escape, the foundation depth of this fence was set at two meters. Generally, even if the hares dig holes, they are tens of centimeters deep. One meter is the limit, and it is impossible to dig to a depth of two meters.

The height of the fence is also slightly higher, mainly because of the hare’s excellent jumping ability. It’s no problem to jump more than one meter high at ordinary times, and you can jump over a height of two meters if you don’t pay attention, so the height of the fence is set at three meters.

The next step is to calculate the cost of materials. The masonry and cement required for the seemingly simple wall are also a considerable expense.

The overall building is a circle around the future apple orchard, with a total length of 60 kilometers. After calculating a series of expenses, the total cost has reached [-] yuan!
Shen Yangguang originally had three million yuan in his account, but during this period of time, staff salaries, Huanglong fruit seedling costs, and the cost of building the fence dropped to 200 million yuan in an instant. Flowing water!

After the discussion was completed, Niu Neng immediately led his staff to start digging the foundation. Fortunately, the fence simply enclosed the hares, so the foundation did not need to be dug too wide.

Even so, Shen Yangguang temporarily dispatched male employees from the Security Department and other departments to help dig it together. Otherwise, the foundation would be more than two meters long for one kilometer, and the ten employees of the engineering department would have to work until the year of the monkey.

Although the employees of other departments may not be good at building walls, basically everyone can dig soil. Anyway, the two sides of the foundation are looped out with long ropes, and they just need to dig down.

Zhang Xueyou led ten employees from the security department to dig hard. They temporarily replaced the daily training with the work of digging the foundation. Doing this work can also strengthen the body.

Xiong San is also busy with a few people. He knows that after the fence here is built, the matter of raising wild rabbits will be the business of his own department, so he is extremely serious in his work.

After all the foundations have been dug, all kinds of masonry, cement and other materials required for construction have been in place, and other departments will not be able to do the next wall-building work, so they will all be transferred to logistics, such as transporting masonry, mixing cement and so on.

The employees of the engineering department are all familiar with the road, using a shovel to spread the cement on the surface of the bricks, and then spread the turning heads horizontally and vertically into a layer, and then stagger the tiles on top, layer by layer.

In the past few days, Shen Yangguang was very worried that the hares in the pigsty would fight each other. After all, the place there was really small. After several days of continuous observation, he realized that he was completely overthinking.

It may be because I passed some golden air currents to the hares, and at the same time provided enough food such as wild vegetables and greens every day, these hares have always only cared about eating, and have no intention of competing for territory at all.

Day by day, the work of building the fence of the farm in the orchard is still going on. Fortunately, there is no busy work during this time. Even though the employees take turns to rest, there are still enough people on the construction site to start work.

The apple trees and wild grapes in the orchard have entered the blooming period. Although the flowering time of wild grapes is much later than that of apples, the speed of flowering and fruiting is much faster.

Wild grapes are similar to ordinary grapes. The inflorescences are long bunches, like larger green caterpillars, very similar to the previous mango inflorescences.

On the long inflorescences, young flower buds bloom one by one, yellowish in color, smaller than rice grains. As the flower buds grow, the excess flowers will fall off, and the remaining ones will eventually grow into clusters of wild grapes .

While a group of male employees were busy with construction, Wang Chunmei was leading female employees busy pruning flower branches in the wild vineyard, because wild grapes do not mean that the more flowers bloom, the better. It grows well, so the number of flower branches should be kept within a reasonable range.

This is also an important measure to reasonably control the yield and keep the ears even and tidy.

In the apple orchard, the flowers that bloom are different. The apple blossom is much larger than a single wild grape flower. It has five petals, each petal is white and red, and the middle is wrapped with a yellow stamen. , very nice.

During the flowering period of the apple, it is also necessary to thin the flowers and fruits, because the apple trees bloom too many flowers, some places are sparse, some places are dense, and each flower is also good or bad.

In order to ensure that the final fruit is of a suitable size and round shape, the flowers that are too dense must be removed in time. In places where some flowers are clustered together, the flowers on the edge should be removed as much as possible, and the flowers in the center should be kept.

When the flowers fall and bear fruit in the future, appropriate fruit thinning must be carried out, so as to ensure that the fruits that grow in the future are guaranteed in terms of size, shape and quality, and produce relatively perfect fruits.

At the same time, it is necessary to prune the overly dense and long branches, cut off the excess branches, and leave the most important part, so as to ensure that the main flowers and fruits of the apple flowering period have enough space and nutrients to grow. grow.

In addition, there are some tasks of topdressing and pollination during the fruit flowering period, because there is enough fertile soil and leaf compost to ensure fertility, and there are a large number of sparrows pollinating, these tasks are much easier.

In general, apart from being extremely busy when the fruits are fruiting, the orchard still has a lot of things to do in normal times. This is also an important reason why Shen Yangguang recruited so many employees.

The sun is in the sky, and the temperature is still rising day by day. In the future apple orchard, a high wall has been completely erected.

Shen Yangguang put a few hares in the pigsty into it, and in the blink of an eye, the hares disappeared without a trace, completely different from the laziness of eating and sleeping in the pigsty before.

Dui and Agua, the two rabbit-catching artifacts, came out of the mountain again. After a few days, they caught dozens of hares, large and small. Bring in some extra, and put all the hares inside the enclosure.

A few days later, the number of hares caught daily decreased linearly, and then a dog and an eagle worked in the valley for a long time without even finding a single piece of rabbit droppings.

Shen Yangguang reckoned that almost all the hares here had been caught, or some of them ran close to the virgin woods on the west side of the valley, so it might be difficult to catch them again.

At this time, there were about a hundred hares in the fence. Although these hares disappeared in an instant in this 100-acre area, with their strong reproductive ability, they must wait until autumn. There are hundreds of them.

The completion of the hare farm has made Xiong San even more busy. In addition to looking after the orchard, he is studying with the hare breeding manual. Now he has to manage nearly 100 native chickens, a hare farm of more than [-] mu, and a small fish pond.

Fortunately, the weeds and shrubs in the hare farm have not been cleaned up, so it can be used as a natural habitat for hares, and there is plenty of food in it, so it takes almost no trouble to raise them. In addition, a few new breeders were recruited some time ago The staff of the department, otherwise Xiong San will definitely be exhausted.
