Chapter 8 Mango Orchard
Last year, due to the lack of rain, the yield of mangoes was generally reduced, and the fruiting rate in many places even fell below 30% of the previous level, resulting in high mango prices.
Originally, mango forests were not usually fenced, and even on the side of the road, no one was so idle to steal them.
However, with the rise in prices, after all, some people will lose their public morality, and only interests will be left in the eyes of that part.
The red and bright mangoes on the roadside were picked cleanly.
Someone came in a big truck, cut down the trunk with an electric saw, and carried it to the car. I didn't bother to pick them one by one.
Saw a tree trunk, to say nothing there were thirty or forty mangoes. It's easy to get your money.
Even for the fourth-grade Avenues mango, the price has risen to more than 100 yuan a catty (600 grams).
At this time, it is useless to rely on police patrols. Mango orchards have erected fences and installed monitors.
Only the iron fence is left to enter and exit.
After buying the Wanping mango forest, Lin Musen walked around the fence to determine the land boundary.
After that, he was able to spend some money to apply to the land administration to draw the land boundary.
But the fence has basically demarcated the land boundary, and there will not be much dispute with the next door.
The purpose of going south this time is to worship my parents, and I have to go back to class, so I can't stay too long.
He only retired from the army in early April and is currently a substitute teacher at Sakurashiba Junior High School in Shintenryu City.
The teacher asked for leave and couldn't miss the student's lesson, so he transferred classes with many people, so he had so many days off to take.
Perhaps because he is a substitute teacher, the matter of taking leave to transfer classes made their teaching team leader Lu Wanyi very unhappy.
Time is very urgent, wait for the next time I come back, it is estimated that it will be the weekend.
The contract for substitute teaching is until the end of June, and the students will have more than a month to go on vacation, which is not long. But May and June are the harvest time for mangoes. Later, there may be a typhoon, which will cause fruit drop and the taste of the mango will deteriorate.
If he didn't find anyone to help, he had to quit his substitute teaching and concentrate on picking mangoes.
But even if you resign, labor regulations stipulate that you must resign one month in advance.
You can only take one step at a time, and the key is the attitude of the school.
In fact, the most important thing in the school's attitude is the attitude of the teaching team leader and the academic director. It's not that hard to find a substitute teacher.
Instead of rushing to check the irrigation well, Lin Musen posted a job announcement on the fence on the side of the road. There are not many cars passing by, and this is not on the main road of Dayuan No. 20, so he estimates that no one will see it.
But he wants to recruit people nearby, so he still has to give it a try. Later, go to Yujing District to apply for an advertising slot.
He found a car rental agency on Yujing Street, rented a car, and drove onto Dayuan No. 20 Provincial Road, through the Nanhua Reservoir, to Yushan National Park.
In the beautiful places along the way, he stopped and increased his horsepower to absorb the white aura, and then when he saw that the white aura around him was reduced to a little thin, he accelerated the horsepower and slipped away. The verdant mountains seem to have faded in color, and in early summer they become a little yellow.
Inhale the white aura and flow into the aura kettle, causing the red aura of the aura kettle to increase rapidly.
He let the red aura emanate into his body, and he immediately felt refreshed, until he found that the white aura had turned around and returned to the aura bottle. His body holds the aura on the upper line, just like the stomach will eat when it eats. Excessive absorption of aura made him uncomfortable.
A good environment seems to have a more vigorous white aura and is also easier to absorb.
After observing for the past few days, he can only absorb the aura around his body about fifty meters now.
Dayuan No. 20 Highway, although you can go to Yushan National Park, but you can't go to the highest peak of Yushan, to go up, you have to rely on walking.
Although Yushan is the highest peak on Dayuan Island, with an altitude of nearly 4,000 meters, climbing Yushan is a beginner mountaineering route.
Lin Musen hadn't been here for a long time.
The main peak of Jade Mountain was the first peak he climbed.
The vast and beautiful sea of clouds made him fall in love with mountaineering from then on.
Back and forth, he spent six hours, stopping in the middle to have lunch at Xiaoqi.
No matter how remote it is, as long as it is famous enough, there will be a 24-hour convenience store. Xiaoqi is the largest 24-hour convenience store chain on Dayuan Island.
A 24-hour convenience store with oden, bread and a variety of microwave foods for passers-by. You can even buy instant noodles to soak in the shop, which provides hot water.
Lin Musen bought some oden and a carton of soy milk at a roadside convenience store, and after eating it in the store, he set off again.
This convenience store is surrounded by mountains, and in it Lin Musen does not stop absorbing the white aura.
When I returned to the mango orchard, the sun had not yet set, and the sky was a little dark.
The kitten was left in the mango grove, and it was accompanied by a bottle full of fresh milk with aura. At this point, the bottle was empty.
Zhuang Zhuang was very angry, so angry that he grabbed Lin Musen's pants and bit them all the time, as if he had a grudge against Lin Musen's pants.
Those watery eyes were filled with the despair of abandonment. Lin Musen's heart was a little tangled.
"Stop biting!"
Lin Musen wanted to pick up Zhuangzhuang, but it was very difficult. Zhuang Zhuang bit the corner of Lin Musen's pants and didn't let go.
He was afraid that if he pulled hard, the kitten's strong teeth would be torn out by it.
Since it refused to be picked up, Lin Musen had to give up his plan to pick it up.
Drag the kitten Zhuang Zhuang to find the well, open the wooden lid on it, and look into the depths of the well.
He didn't come to check whether the water source was clean or not, Yujing was already quite inland, far from the industrial area, and was a purely agricultural area, so the groundwater was relatively clean.
There are Zeng Cultural Reservoir and Nanhua Reservoir nearby, so polluting industries will be subject to relatively large controls.
His purpose is to send in Reiki. The well with the addition of aura, it seems to become clearer.
After doing this, he turned on the pumping motor of the well, began to pump water to the pool outside, opened the planks that blocked the water, and let the water flow.
The previous generation of owners had already dug a shallow reservoir that extended in all directions, and when there was no water to pass through, it was only a slightly concave depression.
With the help of the slope of the ground, the water will water the entire mango grove. It then flows into the gutter.
In order not to waste water, the pumping motor does not start all the time and will be turned off in about two hours.
Mangoes don't need to be watered from time to time, just keep the soil moderately moist. If the temperature is too high, it is easy for mangoes to get sick.
Maybe he was interested in the water flow, or maybe the kitten Zhuang Zhuang noticed the aura in the water, Zhuang Zhuang was no longer interested in Lin Musen's trouser tube, and after a few sips of water, he began to jump around in the middle of the new water flow, and had a lot of fun.
Lin Musen was beside him, and he seemed to feel much more relieved and lively again.
Lin Musen didn't care about being strong, and began to add energy to the mango trees one by one.
In the rainy season, he can't irrigate, so I'm afraid he will have to come to help the mango trees add aura from time to time.
Considering the amount of red aura in the aura pot, Lin Musen didn't add too much to each tree.
More than 1,000 mango trees are planted on more than 10,000 square meters of land.
The ground was not bare, but overgrown with weeds.
There is no shortage of five-section mango, dog tail grass, and salty grass. He even saw some cats.
Lin Musen's trousers, covered with thorns, became a weed spreader.
By the time it was finished, the sun had already set. He turned off the pumping motor and picked some cats and went home.
Early the next morning, after feeding the kitten Zhuangzhuang and buying sandwiches outside to eat, he came to the mango grove to see the situation.
He saw a white mist rising from the mango grove, and he knew it was watering well. I was a little excited. Such mangoes are not worried about not being able to sell.
But he knows that these mangoes will be delicious, and others don't know?
If it is sold to the fruit and vegetable wholesale market, he is a little unwilling.
He picked some mangoes, he had to go back to class today, give some mangoes as gifts, thank the teacher who helped him transfer the substitute class, and advertise his orchard by the way.
Teachers are a group with very strong purchasing power.
When I got home, packed up, took my luggage, and was about to go north, someone suddenly knocked on the door:
"Is anyone home?"
Lin Musen recognized this voice, and people praised his family's delicious fruits a few days ago.
Opening the door, he asked, "I was about to go out, what was the matter?"
The person outside the door handed over a piece of paper and said: "I heard that you live here, your fruit is so delicious, and there is a delicious mango competition held by the Yujing District Farmers' Association recently, and I have the opportunity to participate in it." ”
