Super Orchard

Chapter 31 Roof Snow Removal
Just when Shen Yangguang was pulling a new line, Wei Long's eyes suddenly lit up, and said: "There is another way to get it done once and for all, without having to pull the line back and forth, that is to lay photovoltaic power generation panels. Shop more."

Hearing this method, Shen Yangguang immediately put aside the plan of re-powering, and laid solar photovoltaic power generation by himself. In addition to saving a large amount of electricity bills for long-term use, there is another reason why he is considering the power supply for the orchard. A shed roof is built on the road, so that no matter how much snow falls, vehicles can easily enter and exit, and manpower is no longer needed to clear the snow to open the road.

At that time, it is only necessary to lay photovoltaic power generation panels on the roof of the road, and the space can be used in a three-dimensional manner without wasting any land at all.

Shen Yangguang quickly asked: "How much will it cost to erect a roof on the road and then spread photovoltaic panels on the roof?"

Wei Long only had a general understanding of this, and said uncertainly: "Generally speaking, photovoltaic power generation panels per square meter, plus cable capacitor inverters cost more than 1000 yuan. Your road is 100 meters wide, and you need to lay [-] meters of it. If it is long, it will cost more than one million yuan. As for the cost of the roof, as long as it is strong, there is no need to pursue heat preservation and transparency, and the price is much cheaper.”

Hearing the cost of more than 100 million yuan, Shen Yangguang immediately hesitated again. He only has about 80 yuan now, which is not even enough for photovoltaic power generation panels, let alone other series of expenses.

Seeing Shen Yangguang's frown, Wei Long went on to say: "There is another more primitive method, which is to manually sweep the snow on the roof. Our fiberglass roof has a strong weighing capacity, and the master is no problem at all, but the shed The material of the roof is very smooth in order to facilitate the sliding of rain and snow, and you need specific work shoes to stand on it, and as for snow removal, you must have professional personnel to be competent."

Shen Yangguang thought about it again, photovoltaic power generation can be done once and for all, but he can't afford that much money at once. Although manual snow removal is troublesome, it must be much cheaper, so he asked: "My [-]-acre greenhouse, how about one time to remove snow? How much?"

"About 2000 yuan."

More than 2000 yuan is not expensive. Although it needs to be removed every time it snows, this is the only way to do it for now. I will install solar power panels when I have money in the future.

After thinking about it, Shen Yangguang was about to nod, when Wei Long continued: "This time, it was because I didn't think carefully, which caused the line to be overloaded, so I paid for the artificial snow removal here, Boss Shen. Every time it snows, I will arrange for someone to come over to remove the snow, what do you think?"

Shen Yangguang didn't refuse either, thinking that this year should be the first, and he should have made a lot of money next year. It would be no problem to spend more than 100 million yuan to lay photovoltaic power generation equipment, so he agreed.

Wei Long contacted professional snow removal workers before leaving. Shen Yangguang had nothing to do, so he returned home and began to sweep snow.

First, a one-meter-wide road was cleared in the yard connecting the door and the gate, which is convenient for daily walking, and then a large area was cleared outside the gate.

Dumb watched as Shen Yangguang took a shovel to shovel the snow and then cleaned it with a broom. He also used his two front paws to paw and pull on the snow.

Shen Yangguang's house is at the westernmost part of the village, and to the west is a large piece of wasteland at the foot of the valley. The snow continues to be swept along the courtyard wall, and a road connecting the gate and the end of the concrete road behind the house is cleared. The middle of the newly built road has been swept by Liu Dihua.

After a busy day, another car drove into the orchard, and the professional snowplow hired by Weilong came.

The workers wore special rubber boots and walked on the roof of the shed as if walking on the ground, but because the snow was too wet and slippery, for the sake of safety, everyone was tied with a safety rope, which was connected to the lock on the highest point of the shed to prevent A person falls unexpectedly.

Their snow removal method is also different from what Shen Yangguang imagined. Instead of picking up a shovel, broom, etc. to shovel snow and sweep snow directly, they use a long rope, and every two people grab one end each, from the top of the shed to the top. Pressed into the snow, the two held their bodies and walked down against the roof, and a large amount of snow slid down with the rope.

This is similar to the heating and snow removal method adopted in the shed. It also removes the snow layer on the surface of the shed and reduces the adhesion of the upper layer of snow, so that the thick snow will easily slide down. The only difference is that they use the power of the rope to push the snow to slide down, while the equipment of the greenhouse itself uses the power of the flow of snow water.

It only took half a day to clear all the snow on the entire greenhouse, and the sun also shone into the greenhouse through the fiberglass, continuously raising the internal temperature.

It was still mid-afternoon when the snow was removed, and Shen Yangguang returned home and remembered the scene of making snowmen when he was a child, and began to pile up outside the gate.

His method of building a snowman is very simple. He does not need to shovel the snow into a bucket to compact it for later use, nor does he need to rub snowballs. Instead, he grabs two handfuls of snow and rolls it on the ground. When rolling on the snow, more snow will stick to it, and it will become the size of a basketball in a short while.

Next, the big snowball would not be easy to roll. The person stood behind and pushed forward, and Duan also supported the snowball with his head, and his four short legs swung vigorously on the snow, helping Shen Yangguang to roll the snowball together.

The snowball gets bigger and bigger until it rolls into a large cylinder with the thickness of an adult, and when it stands up, it becomes the body of a snowman.

Then roll out a smaller snowball and put it on the big circle as the head of the snowman, so that the snowman is basically formed.

Shen Yangguang took out a small shovel and patted the snowman's body to make the overall shape of the snowman look better. Then he went to the kitchen and took out two tomatoes and a carrot, and stuck them on the snowman's head to make eyes and noses. .

As for the mouth, Shen Guangguang didn't find anything suitable, so he manually drew a big crescent-shaped mouth in the snowman's mouth, stuffed a few stones into it as teeth, and went to the back of the house and folded two branches to make the snowman's arms. The snowman as tall as half a person is completely made.

Shen Yangguang also wanted to wrap a scarf around the snowman, but he couldn't find it after searching at home, so he had to give up for the time being.

When making the snowman, Dui couldn’t help, he just squatted beside him and tilted his head to watch. After the snowman was piled up, Dui immediately became excited, wagging his tail and circling around the snowman. Bird this ADHD patient.

Time passed day by day, and the weather became colder and colder. The snowman was not deliberately disturbed by others, and it always looked like it had just been piled up. Before I knew it, it was the end of December, and New Year's Day was coming soon.

It snowed several times during this period, and each time Weilong would send professional snow removers to clean up the snow on the greenhouse.

As for the greenhouse, it is always as warm as spring. Even though the coldest time outside is more than ten degrees below zero, the temperature in the greenhouse is always above ten degrees with the help of the second-stage warm light, because strawberries also have a certain resistance. It is cold, so the warm light in the greenhouse is not turned on all the time, it is only turned on for a few hours at sunset to provide light and temperature.

But even so, the temperature of Shen Yangguang's greenhouse is much higher than that of ordinary greenhouses. Like Huang Weicheng's plastic greenhouse, because there is no double-layer insulation system, it can only be kept at around zero at night, and it can barely reach it after burning coal to increase the temperature. Ten degrees of temperature.

The high temperature of Shen Yangguang's greenhouse is also a disadvantage, that is, the weeds that are almost invisible in winter grow well in the greenhouse. Because spraying pesticides is prohibited, Shen Yangguang can only take the staff to weed by hand, and everything can be seen The weeds are pulled out by their roots, without giving them a chance to spread their branches and leaves.

Another point made Shen Yangguang angry and funny. As the weather changed, the insects should have gone underground, but there were still many insects in his greenhouse. As for the sparrows, there were enough grains to use them. All of them are fat and strong, and they don't bother to look at the bugs.

Shen Guangguang had to slightly reduce the supply of some grains according to the number of pests, and let the sparrows catch the bugs.

The orchard is not too busy either. The employees help clear the roads when it snows, and pull weeds when it doesn’t snow.

The strawberries in the greenhouse have already blossomed and bear fruit, and it will not take long for them to mature. Shen Yangguang is looking forward to this. He owes a lot of debt now, and he has always wanted to buy a car for transportation. able to resolve the immediate predicament.
