Chapter 328: Semi-Mechanized Operations (Sixth Shift)
On a river beach north of Ruicheng, more than 300 walk-behind micro-cultivators are working simultaneously under a group of fruit farmers in dark blue uniforms.
This kind of micro-tiller, which can be operated by one person, looks no different from the previous small tractors, except that a row of winches as sharp as shark teeth are installed at the front end of the tractor.
Just turn on the gasoline engine at the back, and the winch will be like a hot wheel, easily clearing the hardened soil into a soft state.
Don't look at the lack of scientific and technological content, but the market price of this micro tiller is more than 2,500 yuan.
This suddenly appeared a lively scene of more than 300 tractors operating at the same time, which attracted the villagers of several villages near the river beach.
"This is the land of the [First Food] bag, right?"
"Isn't it, the area of this reed village is close to the river and extends to the Qian'an village below, and nearly 3,000 acres of river beach have been contracted by this company. ”
"My mother-in-law! Parcel more than 3,000 acres at once?
"It's just the land, look at these rippling machines. I didn't see it yesterday, but this morning I pulled more than 300 units at once. ”
"Look at this bright paint, it's basically brand new! How can an ordinary small business afford so much money on equipment. ”
"These tractors were bought by this [First Foods]?"
"I should have bought it, my second aunt's nephew was just recruited to be a fruit farmer. I heard that I went to the company for training a few days ago, and I came up to learn the operation of this kind of tractor. ”
"There are also many people in our village who have been recruited to be fruit farmers, and I heard that the treatment is quite good. Just working on this land for a month, you can get 4,000 for a lunch, not to mention being close to home, this company also gives insurance. ”
"What? 4,000 a month, and pay back the insurance? Is the boss of this company crazy? Those auto and motorcycle parts factories next door, recruiting ordinary workers, only give a red-headed bill a day. The onlookers were talking, with shock, envy, and jealousy on their faces.
You must know that in recent years, Ruicheng's economy has been sluggish, even if you work in the county, you will get a salary of about 3,500 a month.
After removing some daily expenses, you can't save much money in this month.
As for those villagers who don't have the ability to go to the city to find a way out, it will be even worse to mess up!
Either guarding the family's one-third of an acre of land, or working as a casual worker in those dusty forges in the suburbs, dirty and tired, not to mention, the salary is scary.
Only some skilled teachers who have worked on the production line for several years can get a monthly salary of 5 or 6,000 yuan.
Many of the villagers, who have idle labor at home, heard that this [First Food Company] recruited fruit farmers, and the treatment they gave was so outrageous. They all began to move, and the two war-fighting girls ran home, intending to call a few relatives to try their luck at the recruitment office that stood a recruitment sign not far away.
Naturally, this temporary recruitment site was specially set up by the personnel department of [First Food].
As for the location of the office, it was through the relationship of the Rui City Government that the villagers' activity center that had not been built long ago in Luwei Village was temporarily requisitioned.
In addition to [First Food] someone setting up a site in this village center, even the municipal government has sent several grassroots staff to help mediate.
There is no way, who wants half of the distant river beach to be developed into a wetland park?
This involves a large investment of about 1 billion yuan in the future, and if a few people are not sent over to do the local work well, the Ruicheng city government is also a little worried.
As for the half of the river beach allocated for the production of [First Food], it is because it has been idle for several years, and most of the soil has hardened and agglomerate.
In order to meet the planting requirements of apple trees, in addition to the need to use mechanized forces to reclaim the more than 3,000 acres of river beach, the recruitment of 1,500 planned fruit farmers naturally cannot be left behind.
So, this is the previous scene of the conversation between the villagers watching the land reclamation.
As for the growers in blue uniforms, most of them were recruited in the past week.
As of today, more than 500 people have been recruited from surrounding villages and towns. According to this recruitment schedule and the attractive salary package, it will take up to two weeks to recruit 1,500 growers.
It's just that because these fruit farmers are ordinary farmers who have left their homes halfway, most of them have a primary school and junior high school education level except for some brute force.
Although they were temporarily trained for a few days, as soon as they arrived on the river beach, these fruit farmers who had just changed from the traditional concept of farming to modern mechanical cultivation began to be a little intimidated.
Only a small number of young growers can take advantage of the instructions of the operation manual to run back and forth on the river beach with those micro-tillers painted with red paint.
Fortunately, this panicked scene only lasted for a few hours, and after the experience transfer and on-site observation among the growers, the operation of the micro-tiller itself was not too difficult.
In the afternoon, more than 300 micro-tillers lined up like a nine-tooth nail rake in Zhu Bajie's hand, plowing a series of soft, uneven ravines on this hot river beach.
......
The land reclamation lasted for 2 days, and with the help of agricultural equipment, more than 500 newly recruited fruit farmers finally reclaimed the river beach land contracted by Chen Hao into a cultivated land.
Although the soil doesn't look very fertile, if you grasp the ground with your hands, the brown mud with some moisture can be pinched out of some thick mud as far as you can see.
You must know that this area has been washed out by the Yunjiang River, and the nutrients in the soil layer have accumulated for many years.
Even if it is rated according to the existing cultivated land grade, it can at least be rated as a 2 or 3 grade.
Although it is not as good as the level 1 black soil in the three eastern provinces, it is not known how many times stronger than the level 10 mountain field in Chen Hao's hometown Chen Village.
As for the fruit growers who are busy with the loosening of the soil, they are not idle at the moment.
I saw that these blue-uniformed fruit farmers put down their micro-tillage machines, and began to unload apple seedlings that had just arrived from Xia City from more than 40 heavy trucks parked on the edge of the river beach with two people as a team.
"Is this the seed of the apple tree?"
"It looks no different from our bayberry tree!"
"It's all fruit trees, how much can it change? I just don't know if we can really grow apples in this piece of land in Ruicheng. The growers muttered quietly.
99% of them are farmers, so they naturally have a lot of opinions and experience in planting fruit trees.
In particular, most of the farmers in the Ruicheng area will pick a few bayberry, loquat, citrus trees, and tea trees in their own mountain fields when they are young, and when they are old, they can take their children and grandchildren up the mountain to pick them and enjoy the joy of family.
It's just that for the apple tree, everyone has seen it for the first time.
And this is a one-time planting of 200,000 plants, such a large-scale planting amount, naturally let these fruit farmers who measure firewood in a few meters on weekdays open their eyes.
This chapter is made up for yesterday, and the next thing is today's update. The data is too poor during the day in the past two days, and self-review is in progress~
