Chapter 49 Drip Irrigation Facilities

In fact, from Xiao Ping's point of view, he provided jade vegetables for free for the provincial government canteen in order to have an advertising effect, and he really didn't think about other aspects. Xiao Ping's ambition is not limited to the provincial capital and Su City, but in the future, he wants to open up the provincial and even national markets. When the time comes, you have to face so many customers, and you can't just rely on word of mouth to do business. And the name of "provincial government canteen vegetable supplier" is enough to reassure the vast majority of customers who are skeptical.

Xiao Ping didn't know that he had become an object to be wooed in Liu Yunting's eyes, and he was still concentrating on building his own farm. After selling the newly harvested vegetables, Xiao Ping had some spare money in his hands and began to think about new toys again. This time, what he wanted to improve was the facilities in the orchard on the mountain.

The 1,000 blueberry trees planted on the hill are growing well, and each tree is lush and green, and not a single tree in the whole orchard is pests or diseases. The reason why these blueberry trees can grow so well, in addition to the careful care of the farm workers, the most important factor is, of course, the reason why Xiao Ping will water it with spiritual liquid every few days.

However, although this is very helpful for the growth of blueberry trees, it is too labor-intensive. Every time we water, the farm workers had to carry buckets of water up the mountain, and this work alone required everyone to work hard for half a day. And Xiao Ping also had to take advantage of the opportunity of others not paying attention to the opportunity to pour spiritual liquid into the bucket, and the danger of doing so was too great. Rao is Xiao Ping is now very agile, but there is still danger in doing the same thing too much, and he has almost been discovered by others several times, so it is not a long-term solution to go on like this.

Xiao Ping had long wanted to install drip irrigation facilities in the orchard, which could reduce the intensity of labor, and secondly, he would not have to worry about being discovered when he mixed spiritual liquid into the water that watered the fruit trees. However, due to financial constraints, it has not been implemented, and now it can finally be put on the agenda.

However, what Xiao Ping didn't expect was that when he discussed his idea with others, Wang Dacang and other workers in the farm were unanimously opposed.

"What are you spending that money for?" Wang Dacang waved his hand and said: "Isn't it just to carry water up the mountain every few days, the mountain is not high, and the road is easy to walk, what is such a little work?" No, no, no! ”

Other workers also echoed Wang Dacang's words, and told Xiao Ping that they were not afraid of such hardship, and they didn't want drip irrigation devices.

Since Xiao Ping started running the farm, he has been really good to the workers. Not only did he say that Haolu's monthly salary was paid on time, but he also gave everyone a bonus from the second month. According to the different work that each person is responsible for, Wang Dacang, who gets the most, has a monthly income of more than 4,000 yuan, and there are more than 3,000 yuan, and Xiao Ping also personally promised everyone that a lot of year-end bonuses will be issued before the Spring Festival.

With such a good boss, the big guys are full of energy, although the work of carrying water up the mountain is indeed hard, but no one has any complaints. Now I heard Xiao Ping say that he wanted to build a drip irrigation system, but everyone persuaded him to help him save this money.

"Well, that's what I think." I didn't expect that the changes that could reduce everyone's burden would be opposed, Xiao Ping said with a wry smile: "At the moment, we don't plant many fruit trees, and we can still carry water uphill, but the farm will always develop in the future, what if the orchard is expanded to twenty acres and thirty acres, or even fifty acres and one hundred acres?" Is it also watered by manpower? Now that everyone is not very old, this kind of work is naturally nothing, and after a few years of age, do you still want to carry water up the mountain? ”

Xiao Ping's words were very reasonable, and Wang Dacang and the others also showed thoughtful expressions. Seeing that his words were effective, Xiao Ping hurriedly continued: "I came to Xiaozhou Village to engage in agriculture, but I didn't just leave after a year or two, so I have to think about everything in the long run." It may seem like a drip irrigation system is not necessarily necessary at the moment, but we have to plan for the future, right? ”…,

Xiao Ping said this, and Wang Cannon and others were not good at objecting. And they could hear that the boss was planning to do a big job in Xiaozhou Village, which made everyone very excited. Wang Cannon glanced at the others, and he was the first to say: "Cheng, since you said so, boss, what else can we say, let's start working tomorrow!" ”

Drip irrigation may sound like high-tech, but it's just a plumbing system. The pipes pass under each tree in the orchard, with a few small holes near the roots. When it is used, the entire orchard can be watered by simply filling the pipes with water.

There are many mountainous areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and there are many orchards that use drip irrigation devices, which is not a new thing for ordinary farmers, and it is not difficult to find someone to do this kind of facility. The next day, Xiao Ping approached the company that had built a vegetable greenhouse for the farm and asked them to build a drip irrigation system for the orchard.

Of course, the people who came to the door with business were happy, and immediately sent two technicians to the farm with Xiao Ping, looked at the size of the orchard, the slope of the mountain and the number of fruit trees, and quickly gave a plan for the layout system.

Because the farm is very close to the Xiaozhou River, the technician suggested pumping water from the Xiaozhou River for irrigation. Although the initial investment may be larger because of the need to buy a water pump or something, it is still very cost-effective in the long run.

Xiao Ping had no problem with this, but he had only one request, and that was to build a reservoir on the highest part of the mountain, and the water pumped from the Xiaozhou River should be put into the reservoir before it could be piped to water the fruit trees.

Xiao Ping's request, of course, was to facilitate his own use of spiritual liquid to add spiritual liquid, if the water drawn up directly watered the fruit trees, then he would not have a chance to add spiritual liquid. However, of course, he couldn't say that to anyone else, and only told the technician that his blueberry tree was very sensitive to water temperature, and that the water had to be stored for a while before it could be used.

Although the two technicians were a little skeptical of Xiao Ping's statement, after all, they were the bosses, and it was normal for them to make demands. Anyway, Xiao Ping said that the cost would be calculated, so they naturally would not object, and quickly modified the design and then entered the site for construction.

Except for the reservoir that Xiao Ping proposed to build on the mountain, the other parts of the drip irrigation system were not large, and the entire facility was completed after more than ten days. As soon as the pumping machine is activated by the river on the small island, the river water is pumped to the mountain reservoir for storage, and when needed, the entire orchard can be automatically irrigated by opening the valve to the irrigation pipe.

For the farm workers, this means that they work much less. As for Xiao Ping, it means that he doesn't need to secretly add spiritual liquid to the water that watered the fruit trees. Now, as long as Xiao Ping is free, he can go up the mountain at any time to add the spiritual liquid to the reservoir, and when he is watered next time, he can let every blueberry tree be nourished by the spiritual liquid.

In order to build drip irrigation facilities, Xiao Ping has been busy enough for more than ten days. In addition, he still has to care about the renovation project of Xiaolou, and every day he feels that there is not enough time, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to enter the demon refining pot to take a good look. Now that the drip irrigation facility is finally completed, Xiao Ping finally has time to care about the situation in the demon refining pot.
