Super Orchard

Chapter 60 Daily Work
After returning home, the sun has turned to the west, and the weather is slightly cooler.

When he came to the orchard, Shen Yangguang first went to the chicken pen to have a look. After about two months of growth, the native chickens already weighed one catty. This growth rate is slow for a farm. After all, some broiler chickens are two or three The moon is fully grown.

But for native chickens, this speed is not slow, because normally native chickens need to be fed for a year to fully grow.

At this time, the fence of the chicken coop has been removed. During the day, the native chickens are scattered in the apple grove, pecking at the grass and insects. They will only come back at night and spend the night in the chicken coop.

Xiong San will scatter a little grain in the evening to maintain the habit of chickens returning home at night. Only after autumn, when there are fewer food such as weeds and bugs, will they increase the amount of grain.

However, Shen Yangguang felt that he might never need to increase the input of supplementary food in the future. After all, in autumn and winter, the weeds in his greenhouse also grew luxuriantly, and there were even a lot of bugs, so he didn't have to worry about the food problem of the native chickens.

Seeing the flock of native chickens scattered around, Ah-Dai immediately wanted to pounce on them to play with them. Shen Yangguang saw it eager to try, and quickly grabbed the hair on Ah-Dai's neck to stop this ADHD kid, oh no, teenager ADHD run amok.

As for the sparrows on the tree, although they are much smaller than the native chickens, they are not afraid of Ah-Dai, the great devil in the world, and fly to Ah-Dai's back from time to time to peck a few times. Being able to spin around on his own seems to have a worrying IQ.

After watching the native chickens, Shen Yangguang began to observe the surrounding apple trees again. As time passed, the apples grew bigger and bigger, and it was estimated that they would be fully ripe in another month.

As far as the eye can see, they are all covered with plump apples, and the sunny side of a few of them has turned red, and the fruit fragrance in the entire apple grove is getting stronger and stronger.

Recalling last year when the supermarket regarded his own apples as some kind of martian fruit and fairy fruit Atlantis fruit, Shen Yangguang has learned a lesson and has customized a large number of small labels, which will be pasted on the apples, clearly indicating that they are produced by Jinquan Orchard Jinquan brand apples cannot be messed with by others.

After getting the labels, Shen Yangguang wanted to order a batch of boxes for apples. He had ordered them last winter, but they were strawberry boxes with bright red strawberries painted on them, so it was obviously not suitable for apples.

Shen Yangguang's temperament is to do whatever he thinks, and he took out his mobile phone to contact the manufacturer of the cartons last year. After communicating the specific size, Shen Yangguang explained the patterns and words on the outside of the box in detail, and asked the other party to make a rendering first. Send it to yourself to have a look.

Then Shen Yangguang went to the wild vineyards and mango orchards for a tour. On the way, he also took a look at the small fish ponds. A while ago, he went fishing again, and put them all, big and small, into the fish ponds. Now there are more than ten fish ponds there. Many crucian melon seeds, a few other fish, and dozens of crayfish.

Shen Yangguang is very satisfied with the status quo of the small fish pond. After he put the fish and shrimp in it, the fish and shrimp tasted even more delicious with the golden airflow.

Looking at the fish and shrimps in the fish pond full of vitality, Shen Yangguang suddenly thought that the weather would gradually get colder in a few months time, and the outdoors would reach minus 20 degrees, or even minus 30 degrees, and the water surface of the small fish pond would definitely form Thick layers of ice.

Since this small fish pond is only two meters deep and the water surface is very small, with a radius of only ten meters, the fish and shrimp in the pond are likely to die due to lack of oxygen in winter.

After thinking about this, Shen Yangguang decided to wait until autumn to find Weilong and build a greenhouse on top of the small fish pond to ensure that it would not freeze in winter. With the capabilities of Weilong and his company, this Isn't it easy to plant a greenhouse with a radius of ten meters?

In the two greenhouses, due to the hot weather, the ventilation windows are open 24 hours a day to prevent the temperature in the shed from being too high. Not only the employees can't bear it, but even the fruit trees can't adapt.

Shen Yangguang installed simple awnings for several sparrow nests in the two sheds to prevent direct sunlight. It would be bad if the sparrows were all heatstroke.

In the wild grape strawberry garden, the strawberries are still dark green as always, hiding under the shade of the wild grape trees. As for the rows of wild grapes with a height of more than half a meter, they have stopped growing. It is presumably that the leaves will fall soon, reducing their own The water and nutrients are lost, so that they can survive the winter until the next spring grows buds again.

Strawberries are completely opposite to wild grapes. After the leaves of wild grapes fall in autumn, strawberries will grow new leaves, greedily absorbing water and sunlight carbon dioxide, etc., to prepare for winter flowering and fruiting.

Now employees spend most of their working time in the apple orchard, so there are many weeds growing in the shed, but the situation is not serious. Wang Chunmei will also arrange employees to weed here every once in a while to ensure that the weeds cannot affect the growth of fruit trees.

The situation in the mango orchard is similar to that in the wild vineyard. The only difference is that the mango trees are still growing desperately, sprouting branches and sprouting, and large canopy-like canopies have been formed on the fruit trees. Looking at the growth, they will bloom in the coming year The result should be fine.

Walking out of the greenhouse and at the foot of the South Ridge, Niu Neng was digging pits with several employees. A few days ago, when Wang Chunmei said that the several compost ponds he had built before were almost full, Niu Neng continued to carry out the composting process in the scorching heat without saying a word. put up.

According to the calculation of time, the fertilizer in the first composting pool should be almost fermented, and it is estimated that it can be used in autumn. At that time, when the strawberry grows vigorously and needs nutrients urgently, these green fertilizers can come in handy.

Patrolling around in the orchard is something Shen Yangguang must do every day, and he is happy to do it.

After walking around the whole orchard, Shen Guangguang saw that it was still dark, so he walked to the south ridge and looked around. The slope here is gentle, and the highest point is only tens of meters high. You can have a panoramic view of the fruit trees and greenhouses in the orchard .

Shen Yangguang planned to build a greenhouse after the apples were ripe and sold, so he silently calculated in his heart while looking at the terrain of the orchard.

The entire orchard is located in a small valley, 300 meters wide from north to south and six kilometers long from east to west.The gate of the orchard is on the easternmost side, and inside is a row of houses, which are used as office areas, garages for two tractors, and storage areas for various agricultural tools.

A ten-meter-wide road connects the inside and outside of the orchard, but it is not in the middle of the valley, but to the south. The road is only more than 60 meters away from the south ridge, but 200 meters away from the north ridge.

Within 300 meters to the west of the gate is an almost square apple orchard with about 130 mu of apple trees planted. The road passes through the apple grove and extends westward.

Through the apple orchard, there are two large sheds on the south side of the road, and of course, a small fish pond.The north side of the road is deserted.

Shen Yangguang's plan this time is to build a new greenhouse on the north side of the road, because the greenhouse on the south side of the road has already exceeded the end of the road, if another greenhouse is built, the road must be repaired, and it will cost a lot of money.

However, the north side of the road also has a disadvantage, that is, it is 200 meters wide. If the strawberry garden is also built with a width of 50 meters, the more than 100 meters on the north side will be completely wasted.

As for putting the greenhouse upright and taking the width as the length, it will affect the lighting effect of the greenhouse.

If a road is built in the middle of the open space in the north, and greenhouses are built on both sides, Shen Yangguang is a little unwilling. He wants to build a super greenhouse. If another road is built, the 200-meter-wide open space will be full again Divided into two, it will be too late to regret later.

As for building the 200-meter-wide super greenhouse in his mind, Shen Yangguang became distressed again. He remembered talking about this with Wei Long from the greenhouse factory last year. When he proposed to build a 300-meter-wide greenhouse, Wei Long almost Didn't get a heart attack.

The construction difficulty of a 200-meter-wide greenhouse is probably not much lower than that of a 300-meter-wide greenhouse. I am afraid that Weilong will still not be able to build it.

Standing on the ridge and thinking for a while, the sky gradually darkened, Shen Yangguang sighed softly, put aside thinking about it for the time being, and took Dumb home to cook.
