In the early morning of March, the breeze often kneades and blows the face, warm and refreshing, and a beam of sunlight falls on the body, which is mild and not dry, making people feel comfortable through the heart and spleen.

In the spring, the villagers of Zhangjiazhai have to be busy, and the fields are full of human figures and the sound of various agricultural machinery roaring and just working, which is very lively.

Since Zhang Fan introduced Manager Liang's acquisition station and Chen Baoli to Zhangjiazhai, both vegetables and fruits produced in the field have been sold very hot. Zhang Liye, Li Quan, Ye Tiansheng, and the village chiefs, who are not afraid of discounting their capital, have tasted the sweetness of growing vegetables and strawberries last year, and this year they have further expanded the planting scale.

And those villagers who had watched them get rich and lagged behind no longer hesitated, and took out ninety percent of their arable land to grow vegetables or strawberries, leaving only a small part to grow rice.

To this end, the village chief also responded to what Manager Liang said before, mobilizing the villagers to plant a variety of vegetables and fruits on the premise of ensuring the scale, that is, each family grows different varieties, forming a differentiated planting situation, and avoiding everyone hanging on one vegetable.

As a result, fast-growing vegetables with a short cycle such as rape, mustard greens, and sprouts, carrots, lettuce, eggplants, peas, and okra with a long harvest period, bitter gourd, cabbage, beans, and heartworms that are easy to grow, and leeks, onions, and sweet potato leaves that are not easy to grow insects have all become the planting directions of the villagers.

At the same time, the old village chief also ventilated this practice with Qingtian Village, asking the two villages to grow different things as much as possible, ensuring that more varieties were provided for Manager Liang's purchasing station.

For a time, the business volume of turning over the soil, ridge formation, breeding, manure, planting, and watering in Zhangjiazhai and Qingtian villages doubled, and the manpower was completely busy, and they lined up to ask for agricultural machinery to work.

After appreciating the horror of everyone's expansion of the planting scale, Liu Wei, who opened agricultural machinery, of course, did not flow into other people's fields, so he simply took out all the money he earned to supplement the equipment, and called his Lao Tzu, cousin, and cousin to come over to help, and properly held the heavy farm work in the two villages in his hands.

Going back and forth between the two villages, the income is at least 1,000 a day, so much so that Liu Wei suspects that they are driving agricultural machinery not to cultivate land and grow vegetables, but to make money.

After breakfast, Zhang Fan took the saplings and shovels taken out of the net bottle space in advance to the yard to dig a pit and plant fruit trees. When the villa was first built, a large area of open space was left in order to plant as many fruit trees as possible so that they could bear fruit all year round.

Therefore, he also specially asked his uncle, aunt, cousin, and future wife for their opinions, and specially cultivated a few fruits they wanted to grow, such as grapefruit, pearl mango, custard, jackfruit, apple, peach, star fruit, loquat, and dragon fruit, and planted them in the yard.

In addition, I also got a few avocados, ginseng fruits, pistachios, etc., which I used to eat when I worked in the city and wanted to eat in the moonlight.

Digging pits, putting saplings, burying soil, and watering, Zhang Fan tossed for most of the morning to finish planting, and did not forget to pour two scoops of spiritual water on each fruit tree.

Of course, these were all done secretly while the uncle and aunt were not at home, closing the door. And in order to hide people's eyes, Zhang Fan told his family early in the morning that he asked a friend to get some big fruit saplings from abroad to come back and plant them.

As long as they don't use spiritual water to turn them into big fruit trees for thirty or forty years overnight, they won't be exposed for fear of being discovered.

Looking at his masterpiece with satisfaction, Zhang Fan couldn't help but feel that the embellishment of fruit trees made the yard a little more idyllic.

After finishing all this, Zhang Fan took out the blueberries and cherry saplings and carried them to the cart and transported them to the other side of the valley.

Seeing Zhang Fan's figure from a distance, Ayu put down the work in his hand and ran past Lai and greeted with a smile: "Brother Fan, what are the new instructions?"

After the New Year, Ayu listened to her sister's words and came to Zhangjiazhai to learn to manage the orchard in Zhang Fan's strawberry farm.

"I brought some fruit tree saplings. Are you still used to doing it here, haven't you been here for a month?" Zhang Fan said.

"Three more days will be a month, thank you Brother Fan for giving me such a good job opportunity, I will work hard to do a good job. Ayu said gratefully.

Here in Huangshi Town, jobs with a salary of 5,000 a month are already rare, not to mention that Zhang Fan planned to make her the leader of the strawberry field planting team from the beginning, and she naturally cherishes this job opportunity that can change her destiny at any time.

"Well, call a few people over and unload the seedlings and carry them near the vineyard. ”

For his girlfriend's sister, Zhang Fan has heard Chen Baoli praise her more than three times for her explanation, strong learning ability, and good attitude, and he is also very satisfied with her performance.

"Okay, I'll be there soon. ”

Later, Ayu called five people from the greenhouse to help carry the saplings to the vineyard.

"Wei Shun, in the past two days, I will transfer people over and plant these blueberry and cherry saplings on the two newly cultivated fields next to the vineyard. Coming to the vineyard, Zhang Fan said to Wei Shun.

Blueberries prefer sandy, humus, and red loam soils that are sunny, well-drained, and high in organic matter. If you don't have these readily available land, you can plant them in woodlands where the red rhododendrons are growing well, and avoid growing blueberries in rice fields.

However, the soil on this side of the valley is not the most suitable for growing blueberries, so Zhang Fan improved the soil by sprinkling sulfur powder to adjust acid, using animal-derived fertilizer and plant-derived fertilizer according to a certain proportion of mulching, fermenting and rotting, and mixing with the original soil to improve the soil.

"Okay, boss, we'll do it right away. ”

After listening to Zhang Fan's instructions, Wei Shun called all the people in the vineyard to help move blueberry seedlings to plant.

"Before planting, first use a knife cross to cut the bottom of the root system of the sapling, straighten out the root system, and then put the blueberry seedling into the ** right cover soil, and then gently lift the sapling upwards and then cover the soil to be level with the ground, step on the soil, cofferdam.

Be careful not to bury too deep, no more than 2 to 3 cm of the original nutrient bowl surface. Remember to cover the roots with organic matter such as pine needles, leaves, rice husks, etc. Immediately after setting, pull the dropper over and water until it is thoroughly watered. After Zhang Fan explained, he also planted a few trees with the past demonstration.

"Brother Fan, what kind of new things are you planting?" Chen Baoli, who came to the vineyard to stroll, saw Zhang Fan planting trees and asked curiously.

When he has nothing to do, he likes to go to Zhangjiazhai to patrol the mountains, and from time to time he bewitches Zhang Fan to order a variety of high-end fruits. However, I can't stand that Zhang Fan is a lazy master, and nine times out of ten bewitchments are failures.

"I'm teaching the staff to grow blueberries, do you want to come over and help?" Zhang Fan said jokingly when he saw Chen Baoli who came to walk around.

"Brother, you should do this when you finally get the hang of it! What are you waiting for? Plant early and get an income. ”
