Chapter 248: Is the Brewer Enough?
The two sat outside for a while, and waited until Wangcai came back from the bonfire party, and then they came home and prepared for dinner!
After Lin Quan got this ancient jade, after he did research for several days, he finally determined that this ancient jade did improve the water quality, so that the water source was rich in things that were more conducive to plant growth, and this water did not seem to have the kind of situation he had encountered in the Hail tribe before, this kind of water he gave to a few small animals to drink, and after some experiments and observations, he found that this water actually did not kill these small animals, and the situation he encountered in the Hail tribe should have another reason. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, although these small animals are fine, Lin Quan is still more cautious, he puts the drinking water of the people in the farm in a relatively distant well, and makes a rule that drinking water can only be taken from a few wells.
After making these arrangements, Lin Quan began to improve the water quality in other wells step by step.
This job is not difficult, you only need to put this piece of ancient jade in the corresponding well!
However, this will take a little time, as there are many wells on the farm.
It took Lin Quan about four or five days to finally finish the job.
At this time, Lincoln found Lin Quan with an excited face.
"Boss, come and see!"
After Lincoln saw Lin Quan, he only said one word, and before Lin Quan could figure out what happened, he was dragged away.
"Boss, look, our grapes are growing very well, almost all of these newly planted grape seedlings have survived, and the growth momentum of each plant is very good, you see the new green leaves, dripping green and green, looking very fresh and very healthy!"
"Generally speaking, it takes four to five days for new seedlings to bud after they are planted, and the speed of budding of these grape seedlings on our side is really unexpected! This place is truly a treasure! It must be that the land is very nutritious, so the survival rate of the vines after planting is so high! ”
Lincoln didn't know that Lin owned two pieces of ancient jade, so until he could find a better reason, he could only attribute this credit to the land here, and also called it a treasure land!
Treasure? Lin Quan was a little amused in his heart, this is a wasteland, no different from other deserts, the reason why the survival rate of grapes here is so high after planting, and they grow so well, grow fast and healthy, the most fundamental reason is not because of his help, if there is no Lin Quan's two pieces of ancient jade to help, the growth of these grapes will not be like this.
Moreover, Lin Quan felt that the seedlings of these grapes had grown better than those grapes before this time, and the main credit was actually due to Shui Yu.
Previously, the water jade was used to divert water to irrigate this sandy land, so that the moisture of this piece is good, the groundwater content is relatively sufficient, and the water contains very graceful nutrients, which makes these grapes can not only quickly absorb water after planting, but also quickly replenish various nutrients.
Without the help of this piece of water jade, Lin Quan would not have been able to directly use a water pump to pump water to irrigate this piece of land, dozens of acres of sandy land, if you want to complete the irrigation, it will take a lot of water, and this is flood irrigation, not drip irrigation, it consumes more water, and it is impossible for one or two ordinary wells to support such irrigation, and the reason why he can do this is entirely because of the role of water jade.
And if it were not for this irrigation, it is really hard to say whether the survival rate of these grape seedlings would be so high.
"Well, it's really a treasure land!"
In any case, when Lin Quan saw these green grape seedlings that were growing happily, the joy in his heart could not be stopped.
He put the piece of ancient jade that accelerated the growth rate on the farm, and he was not going to take it away, so even after he went south, the growth rate of this piece of grape seedlings would not decrease, and when he came back, maybe a piece of seedlings here would have grown into a large row of grape groves, and in the second half of the year, these grapes would bloom and bear fruit, and that would not be a problem at all.
"Boss, I think since this land is so good, why don't we expand the scale of production and plant another 50 acres?"
Lincoln's joy was overflowing, he originally thought that after coming to the barren land of Africa, if his winery was to be established, it would take four or five years, but now he said, at the current rate, this time can be shortened to two or three years, this vineyard can bear fruit next year, and then they can make wine, and their wine can be sold to the outside world the year after next year or even next year!
And in this way, Lincoln suddenly felt that the grapes that were only planted on dozens of acres at present seemed to be not enough, and he wanted to plant more!
"Plant another fifty acres? Can it be managed? How many workers do you need to recruit? How many winemakers are needed? ”
Lin Quan actually doesn't know much about this industry, so at this time, Lincoln said that there are many kinds of fifty acres, and he has no concept, if fifty acres, how many people do you need to maintain?
After the grapes are planted, they are not completely ignored, but they must be taken care of often, such as pruning branches, building grape trellises, preventing insects and weeds, and patrolling to see if there is any imagination of lodging, after all, grapes are relatively brittle, and the wind in the desert is not small, if the grape trellis is blown down, then it is necessary to lift it up immediately, otherwise the heavy fruit on the branches will easily crush the main branches.
Once the grapes are ripe, harvesting is a time-consuming and laborious task.
The skin of the grape is relatively thin, the moisture is relatively large, so when picking, it should be handled gently, and the stacking is also more particular, these need to consume manpower and material resources, the most important thing is that after these grapes are picked, they still need to be brewed, and Lin Quan's brewers in the hands of only three people, among these three people, in addition to Lincoln himself, the remaining two people have a technical comparison of vegetables, they help the tourists in the farm, a little guidance, let them learn to make wine, this is not a big problem, They can do it.
But if they were to be in charge of the production of these high-quality grapes on the farm, it would be inappropriate, and it would feel a bit of a tyrannical thing.
"It can be managed, fifty acres only need to recruit ten more workers is enough, and the number of workers on our farm is enough, when the time comes, we only need to let them help a little, and when we are done, they will be busy with their own affairs, our busy time is actually not much, the main thing is that the grapes should be picked as soon as possible when they are ripe, otherwise the grapes will be easy to deteriorate and rot after they are ripe, so I need more manpower to help me complete the picking, in addition, Basically, I don't need too many people on my side, and the number of permanent workers at the winery is seven or eight is enough! ”
Seven or eight people manage seventy or eighty acres of vineyards, and one person manages more than ten acres, and the workload is still a bit large, so Lin Quan is still a little skeptical.
But Lincoln also made sense, they don't have only one vineyard here, and if they are really too busy, they can also divide people from other departments on the farm, and everyone can come and help out when the time comes, and get through the busiest time, and it is not a big problem.
But Lincoln didn't answer the winemaker's question, is the winemaker enough?
