Super Orchard

Chapter 312 Carambola Ripe
After finishing the recruitment work of the Zixia Branch Garden, Shen Yangguang and his team returned to the Western Orchard.

Jinquan Valley is full of more than 20 kinds of fruits. At this time, most of the fruits have entered the fruit-suspending period. Only strawberries and Bufona are still growing vigorously and have already blossomed and bear fruit.

In addition, there is another fruit that has already produced fruit, that is carambola. As the last fruit planted besides passion fruit and miracle fruit, carambola is also the first to bloom and bear fruit this year.

Generally, carambola will bloom and bear fruit continuously within a year. Basically, there will be four or five large-scale blooms between May and December each year. It matures successively from the end of July to the end of February of the following year, and the fruit period lasts for half a year.

Jinquan Orchard is planting a new variety of carambola. The flowering and fruiting periods are greatly shortened. This specially cultivated carambola will only start to bloom every autumn, and the fruit will not mature until the end of December and last until the next year. In February, the fruit period and flowering period were directly reduced by half.

Because there is more time for the fruit rest period, the carambola can absorb nutrients and recuperate, so the fruit produced by this carambola per unit time is greatly improved, and each time the fruit is three times that of ordinary carambola. Therefore, The fruit produced during these three months every year is half the output of carambola that usually bears fruit for half a year.

Like a general carambola plantation, the yield per mu is about [-] catties, while the carambola planted in Jinquan Orchard is estimated to have a yield of nearly [-] catties per mu. Coupled with the effect of the golden air current, it is not difficult for the yield to exceed [-] catties per mu. .

The skin of the newly ripe carambola is very similar to the lotus mist. It looks more crystal clear, and the color is yellow or yellow-green, which makes people very appetizing when they see it.

Moreover, the beautiful skin of carambola is also rich in nutrition, so when eating, you only need to peel off some yellow or black lines on the corners, and you don’t need to peel off all the skin.

Carambola is not only delicious when eaten raw, but also can be made into fruit salad, because the fruit slices are very beautiful, and it can make the taste better with salad dressing.

In addition, you can also make star fruit stewed with custard, or cook with star fruit, whether it is soup or fried, it is a healthy and delicious delicacy.

But carambola is a cold food, so some people can't eat more, but Shen Yangguang is in good health, no matter how much he eats, he went into the carambola garden to pick some, took it back to the office and cut the carambola into pentagrams Fruit slices, let's enjoy it.

While eating the delicious carambola, Shen Yangguang began to price this fruit in his heart, because this garden full of carambola will soon be available to consumers.

The price of carambola on the market is basically more than ten yuan per catty. After thinking about it, Shen Yangguang finally set the price of this self-produced super star fruit at one hundred yuan per catty.

Next, Shen Yangguang is not in a hurry to arrange for employees to pick carambolas and transport them to fruit shops for sale, because the New Year's Day is coming soon, and these carambolas will be added as a new variety this year, together with strawberries and Bufona in the orchard, Provided to tourists for sightseeing and picking.

As for the picking effect, Shen Yangguang is not worried. Even if these carambolas cannot be picked in time, he still has more than 700 fruit shops for sale.

When the garden opened once a year, this carambola, which had only experienced a small amount of publicity, suddenly attracted a large number of tourists, which was unexpected by Shen Yangguang.

However, star fruit trees are relatively tall, unlike strawberry and Bufona, which are relatively short. It is difficult for ordinary people to pick them without tools. Therefore, each tourist team needs to be equipped with an employee of Jinquan Orchard as a guide to help them pick star fruit.

Of course, there are still many people who want to experience picking by themselves, but considering personal safety issues, all these proposals were rejected by Shen Yangguang.

Seeing the overcrowded scene of the carambola orchard, and many tourists eager to try it, Shen Yangguang couldn't help but feel a little headache. After thinking and thinking, he finally decided not to open the carambola orchard picking business from next year.

This is mainly from the perspective of tourist safety, because many tourists come to the orchard to experience picking fruits by themselves. When they see the bright yellow carambola hanging on the fruit trees, Nanmian will feel itchy and want to try it.

But they are not employees in the orchard, and they don't know much about the rules of picking operations. If they fall off or get hit on the forehead by the angular carambola, it will be bad.

Therefore, the lively carambola picking business has only been promoted for a few days, and Shen Yangguang has withdrawn all the promotional advertisements about carambola picking. When next year, these advertisements will be revised, and the sightseeing picking work will no longer be open, but will be Ship to all the fruit shops for customers to buy.

The strawberry orchard is as busy as ever. As the veteran of Jinquan Orchard for sightseeing and picking, these super strawberries made great contributions in those years, directly increasing the income of Jinquan Orchard and bringing sufficient funds for the development of the orchard.

The Bufona Garden not far away is also crowded with people. Because this kind of fruit is relatively rare in the market, many people want to come and pick it with curiosity. Therefore, the daily sales of Bufona should not be underestimated.

In addition to these three greenhouses, the only thing that is still blooming and bearing fruit in Jinquan Orchard in this severe winter is the ordinary strawberry orchard in the Eastern Orchard.

This is bought by Shen Yangguang from Huang Weicheng at a high price. After the low price last year, the price of strawberries this year has really started to pick up. Now it has basically remained in the range of 20 yuan per catty, which is almost the market price in previous years. up.

In addition, every time the strawberries are watered this year, Shen Yangguang will pass some golden airflow in the past, so the fruits produced by these strawberries are also extremely delicious. Compared with the strawberries sold at the same price in the market, no matter Both taste and taste are much better, so more and more tourists are picking and tasting strawberries in this thousand-acre strawberry garden.

However, no matter how many tourists there are, it is impossible to pick all the strawberries of a thousand acres. Therefore, most of the strawberries are still picked by employees, and then shipped to fruit shops in various places for sale. Now the number of Jinquan fruit shops has expanded to 720, so many stores can sell these strawberries quickly.

In addition to the main business of various fruits, other auxiliary businesses of Jinquan Orchard are also in full swing. Whether it is the guest room department or the catering department, it is full of people every day, and the cider brewed in the orchard is also available. In the hot sale, if the supply is not limited every day, I am afraid that these ciders will be snatched up by those second-hand dealers within a day.
