Super Orchard

Chapter 22 Golden Autumn October
Another month passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather gradually turned cooler to the beginning of October, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

During this period of time, Shen Yangguang spent a lot of money, including more than 5 yuan for two months' wages, 4 yuan for strawberry seedlings, and bought a batch of farm tools such as hoes and shovels. Ten custom-made trolleys in the county cost a total of more than 90 yuan. At this time, Shen Yangguang only had [-] yuan in his account. As for pesticides and fertilizers, he didn't buy them at all because he didn't need them.

This kind of trolley is similar to a shopping cart in a supermarket, but it is bigger. It is about half a meter wide, half a meter deep and one meter long. It can be pushed between wild grape ridges, and it is convenient for carrying farm tools or transporting weed fruits and so on.

In addition, the wheels of the trolley are much larger than the shopping carts, and the tires are also much wider, mainly because the orchard is full of mud, and the wide wheels can prevent the trolley from sinking.

Except for Liu Dihua, the gatekeeper, everyone in the orchard went to visit relatives and friends to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Shen Yangguang also distributed some mooncake gift boxes to everyone two days ago.

The migrant workers also returned to the village a few days ago, and usually they will not come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival, mainly because this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival is at the beginning of October, and in a few days it will be the busy harvest season, so they are simply a few days earlier Go back to the village and reunite with your family for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At Shen Yangguang's home, only Duan was with him. His parents didn't come back from Europe, but they called ahead of time to let Shen Yangguang go to reunite with him. Thinking that running back and forth would take a lot of time, Shen Yangguang didn't go.

Knowing that Shen Yangguang was at home alone, Zheng Hao wanted him to go home with him for dinner, but Shen Yangguang didn't go either, but instead cooked a few delicious dishes by himself, and enjoyed eating with Dumb alone.

When Shen Yangguang was young, his parents were very busy, so he often helped the family cook, and he could cook basic home-cooked dishes. In addition, he lived off-campus for four years in college and often cooked by himself, and his craftsmanship became more and more exquisite. He is a chef here, but he is also much better than ordinary people.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the village slowly became lively, not only because most of the migrant workers had returned, but also because the crops in the fields had matured and every household was busy.

Shen Yangguang's family's more than ten mu of land was planted with rice by his uncle's family. After the rice was harvested, Shen Yangguang came to his cousin's house again and formally informed the other party that starting from today, his farmland would be taken back. Don't worry about them.

After all the rice in the village is harvested, the land will remain empty for the next six months, and crops will not be planted again until the weather turns warmer at the turn of spring and summer next year.

In this way, although it has been abandoned for half a year, it can also ensure the fertility of the soil.

When the autumn harvest came to an end, Huang Weicheng started to get busy again. He signed the contract two months ago and contracted about [-] mu of land in the northernmost part of the country for ten years. when.

Many families in the village work outside, and they are willing to rent out their land, even though they don't make much money a year.

Huang Weicheng really wanted to do a big job. During this period of time, there was not much work in the orchard, and the employees had gone to the farm for the holidays. Shen Yangguang wandered around when he had nothing to do. After seeing Huang Weicheng's handwriting, he also admired Huang Weicheng's handwriting.

Shen Yangguang made a rough estimate in his heart, the contracted land cost hundreds of thousands of yuan for ten years, and the construction of an ordinary greenhouse in such a large place would cost more than 100 million yuan, plus the artificial labor of pesticides, fertilizers and seeds, it would cost an estimated 200 million yuan!
Although Shen Yangguang's orchard cost more, but because of the golden air flow, otherwise he would not be able to spend so much money if he was killed, let alone invest all the money easily.

Unknowingly, in late October, the farm work in the village has basically ended, and some people have left their hometown again to go to other places to work.

Huang Weicheng saw the right time, and before most people left, he ran to the village committee's yard and set up a table to start recruiting.

He also heard that Shen Yangguang had recruited a few people some time ago, but he didn't know the salary offered by Shen Yangguang. Instead, he offered a salary that he thought was very high according to the local salary level, which was much higher than Shen Yangguang's. It is 1000 yuan lower, and the vacation is also less.

The family members of Wang Chunmei and others knew about their salaries a long time ago, and it didn’t take long for relatives and friends to know about them. At this time, the migrant workers have been back to the village for more than half a month, and word of mouth spread more or less. know some.

Huang Weicheng didn't know these things. He was wondering that there were many people who came to the village committee to inquire every day, but none of them agreed to stay and work!
Comparing the two, on the contrary, many people came to Shen Yangguang's house these days, without exception, they all came to ask if Jinquan Orchard still wanted to recruit people, but they all heard that working here is not much cheaper than going abroad salary, and a lot of vacations to take care of the family, if they can join in, they don't want to go out all year round.

It's just that the orchard is not busy right now, and Shen Yangguang doesn't want to recruit people. He plans to wait until the winter when the strawberries are ripe to recruit a few employees, but he won't recruit too many people at once. He will recruit more when the orchard grows gradually. people.

After embarrassingly rejecting one villager after another, he simply locked the gate and hid in the orchard.

Several employees in the orchard also know their boss's troubles these days. Although some relatives and friends asked them to help them talk about it, they are not ashamed to speak up. After all, the boss really has no shortage of people for the time being. It's not too late to mention.

Wang Chunmei's elder brother, Wang Chunshu, saw that others were rejected, so he came to his sister's house every day to make a fuss, and wanted Wang Chunmei to introduce him to work in the orchard. Wang Chunmei knew that her elder brother was usually lazy, so he didn't want to help him. Because of the difficulties, he never agreed.

Early this morning, Wang Chunshu came to his sister's house as usual, and when he learned that she was going to work on the mountain, he came to the gate of the orchard. The gatekeeper Liu Dihua had already been greeted, and he lay lazily on the rattan chair and did not open the door.

Wang Chunshu shouted anxiously: "Master, I am Wang Chunmei's elder brother. I have something to do with her. You open the door and let me in!"

Liu Dihua pretended not to hear clearly, and asked loudly, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Wang Chunmei!"

"Wang what plum?"

"Wang Chunmei!"

"What Chunmei?"

"Wang Chunmei!!!"

"Oh, are you looking for Li Qiuhua? We don't have Li Qiuhua here!"

"..."

Shen Yangguang also knew that he was a little unreasonable. After all, the villagers in the village were also afraid that his employees would be difficult to do, so he said to a few people: "The orchard really doesn't need people now, and we will recruit a few in winter. Anyone of you who wants to be introduced can mention it. After next spring, I will expand the scale and slowly recruit more people. You go back and tell your relatives and friends."

As the weather gets colder, the weeds in the orchard no longer grow, and there is no need to fertilize and spray pesticides. It is really not much work, just take care of the seedlings and prune the apple trees.

After three months of growth, the wild grapes grew luxuriantly under the blessing of the golden airflow. Seeing the thick and unusual branches and vines, Shen Yangguang was very worried that it would block the sunlight of the strawberries.

Fortunately, wild grapes are deciduous plants. Even if the growing conditions are much better, the leaves will still turn yellow and fall when autumn comes.

Since the fallen leaves will cover the strawberries below and affect the growth, Shen Yangguang and several employees push the trolley to pick up the fallen leaves and put them in the car. After they are transported to the apple grove outside, they can also be turned into nutrients after they rot .

Shen Yangguang plans to build a few large ponds outside the shed after the spring of next year, when there will be more employees. At that time, weeds, fallen leaves and cut branches will be put in. After closing, it will become pure natural green after fermentation. Organic fertilizers will be used to fertilize fruit trees at that time to form a circular ecological chain.

Although now with the golden air flow, the fruit trees and seedlings are growing very well and do not need any fertilizer, but with the green organic fertilizer, the fruit trees can grow better and produce more fruits. Why not do it?

As for pesticides, there is no need for them. It may be because of the effect of the golden airflow, mildew and leaf rot common on wild grapes and strawberries, etc., which were not seen in the whole orchard, which made several employees feel very uncomfortable. surprise.

However, the golden airflow can kill germs, but it can’t do anything to all kinds of insects. Perhaps the essence of airflow is that it can enhance the vitality of animals, plants, and insects. After eating the branches and leaves, the insects in the orchard are even more tenacious than ordinary insects outside. .

Shen Yangguang was very troubled by this, and he didn't want to spray pesticides, so he could only use the most primitive method of catching bugs with his hands to reduce pest damage.
