Chapter 152: That's it
After many days of hard work, the piers have passed the cement curing period and can be hoisted on the bridge deck. The more than 30-meter-long bridge deck was divided into two parts, which were to be hoisted onto the two spans of the bridge. Perhaps for those large construction companies, building a small bridge about 30 meters long is not a big project at all. But to Xiao Ping and Boss Wang of the engineering team, today is definitely a big day.
Xiao Ping got up early in the morning that day, he thought he was the most hardworking person, but he didn't expect that Boss Wang had already taken a few people to the river. A few people pointed to the pier where the bridge had been built and discussed something nervously, and they didn't even notice Xiao Ping behind them.
Xiao Ping didn't dare to disturb their discussion, so he listened quietly in the back. He soon realized that he really didn't know anything about architecture, and Boss Wang's conversation was like a book from heaven, and he didn't understand what they were talking about at all.
Boss Wang and his workers discussed the hoisting plan, and then found Xiao Ping standing behind him, and hurriedly greeted him: "Boss Xiao, you can get up so early today." ”
"Today is a big day, I can't sleep!" Xiao Ping did not hide the nervousness in his heart.
Boss Wang nodded thoughtfully, but he quickly comforted Xiao Ping: "I specially invited the hoisting team of Luqiao No. 2 Company to come, there will be no big problems, don't worry!"
Boss Wang's words are right, the professional construction team he invited is really reassuring. Two large cranes quickly drove into the construction site, and soon the two sections of the bridge deck were also transported. Under the command of an old worker of the No. 2 Road and Bridge Company, the crane quickly lifted a piece of the bridge deck and placed it firmly on the bridge pier.
In recent years, the No. 2 Road and Bridge Company has undertaken the construction of many viaducts. For these workers, it was no problem to lift such a small bridge deck, which can be seen from their relaxed expressions. After hoisting one of the bridge decks, the workers did not rest at all, and then hoisted the second one into place.
When the workers under Boss Wang fixed the bridge deck, several cranes and flatbed trucks had left quickly, and it was not even lunch time yet.
Xiao Ping originally thought that he would be busy all day, but he didn't expect it to end so soon. However, the most important thing is to be able to lift the bridge deck safely into place. His heart, which was hanging in mid-air, finally relaxed.
Boss Wang's workers were busy fixing the bridge deck, and some people began to build railings on the bridge deck. When the railing is completed, the bridge will be completed. From now on, you don't have to take a long detour. You can cross the river directly within the farmstead area. This made Wang Dacang and other farm workers very happy, after all, they were the ones who benefited the most after the bridge was built.
While the engineering team was building the railing of the bridge deck, good news came from the orchard. The drip irrigation system for the newly opened orchard was finally fully built. There are still two days left before the rainy season, and it is still too late to plant fruit trees. However, there are different opinions on what fruit to grow in the newly opened orchard.
Wang Dacang felt that citrus should be planted, and his reason was that the south of Baiyun Mountain was full of sunshine and moderate rainfall, which was suitable for the growth of citrus. Accountant Zhang Chao suggested planting bayberry, saying that the price of good bayberry is much more expensive than that of citrus, and the economic benefits are better. Some people say that they want to grow pears and apples, and the reasons are also strange, and one worker even said that because his little grandson loves to eat mangoes, it is better to plant mangoes and pull them down.
I was troubled by all kinds of arguments. Xiao Ping decided to stop the discussion, and it was better to decide this matter by himself. Anyway, it has already been democratic, and now it has reached the stage of centralization.
Deciding what to plant in the orchard is no small matter. After all, planting fruit trees is not like planting green leafy vegetables, which can be harvested and marketed in just a few weeks, and you can know whether the new varieties of vegetables planted by Langdao are popular. Fruit trees are planted in years. When the fruit is found to be unpopular, at least a year has been wasted. Therefore, Xiao Ping was very cautious when making a decision, and deliberately hid in the demon refining pot at night to consider this problem - the excellent environment in the demon refining pot is conducive to thinking, and it is easier to make the right decision.
"What should you plant?" Looking at the puppy chasing and playing in the demon refining pot, Xiao Ping fell into deep thought. However, after all, Xiao Ping was still a standard urban youth more than half a year ago, and he can be said to have no understanding of the fruit market at all. It was a bit of a struggle for him to make such a big decision.
Xiao Ping pondered for a long time, but he still couldn't come up with a sure result. He habitually picked two large peaches and sat on the shore of the lake to eat and think. It's a pity that although the peach in the demon refining pot is sweet and can make people feel uplifted, it is just a fruit after all, and it is impossible to help Xiao Ping make the right decision.
Xiao Ping finished nibbling on the last peach, threw the peach pit at his feet, hugged his head and said bitterly: "I still can't think of it!"
Just when Xiao Ping was worried, his gaze inadvertently fell on a small sapling in front of him. The sapling was not too tall, but it was already very robust, and the narrow leaves showed a vibrant dark green, lush and very lush, which was the peach sapling that was grown from the peach pits that Xiao Ping threw away.
"Oh, there you have it!" Xiao Ping, who saw the sapling, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately thought of what kind of fruit to plant.
Xiao Ping, who was excited, didn't care about anything else, and found the shovel that had been placed in the demon refining pot and started to get busy. He carefully dug up all the peach saplings he could find, whether they had grown to more than half a foot tall or those that had just sprouted with only a few leaves.
Xiao Ping dug up all the peach trees and counted them, and found that there were nearly 300 saplings. This number made Xiao Ping a little surprised, looked up at the big peach tree that bore fruit and muttered to himself: "It turns out that I have eaten so many peaches?
The next day, Xiao Ping announced his decision to plant peaches in the newly opened orchard. No one raised any objections to this, after all, peaches are abundant in cities not far from Su City, and Lao Zhou's son-in-law also got a few peach saplings a while ago, and several families have planted them. As long as you can get good tree species, the quality of the peaches grown in the orchard will definitely not be bad.
However, when Xiao Ping took out the more than 200 saplings and told everyone that these were peach trees to be planted in the orchard, some people immediately disagreed.
"Boss, do you really plan to plant these saplings?" Looking at the nearly three hundred saplings of different sizes, Wang Dacang first objected: "The size of these saplings is so different, it is very difficult to manage after planting!"
"These saplings are of a good breed, and they will soon grow to the same size. Xiao Ping replied confidently.
Another worker carefully looked at all the saplings and then objected: "These are real seedlings, they have not been grafted, and they will take many years to bear fruit." Why don't you buy some grafted seedlings and plant them?"
Xiao Ping said with full certainty: "These saplings are of good variety, and they will definitely bear fruit in advance!"
"There are a lot of pests and diseases in peach trees, and we haven't planted them before, so I'm afraid there will be problems." "There is another worker who is worried.
Xiao Ping replied with the same answer: "These saplings are of good varieties and will not have pests and diseases." ”
Seeing that the boss was determined to plant these saplings, Wang Dacang and the others naturally had no choice but to do so. Fortunately, the newly opened orchard is very large, even if two or three acres of land are taken out to plant peaches, there are still a lot of places to plant other fruit trees.
However, it soon became clear that everyone was overly optimistic. Xiao Ping not only wanted to plant peach trees, but also reduced the planting density to an outrageous degree - it was clear that he could plant 150 peach trees per mu without pressure, but Xiao Ping asked to plant only 30 per acre!
They are not happy with the king's cannon now. For the peasant, the field is the root of everything, and wasting the field is even more unacceptable than wasting anything else. Wang Dacang has always been straight-tempered, and directly found Xiao Ping and said: "Boss, you spend your wallet every year to bring this land down, you ...... Isn't that just a waste of your own money?"
Because the other workers reminded Wang Dacang and asked him to pay attention to his attitude when looking for Xiao Ping's theory, it was already polite for him to say this. If it was according to Wang Dacang's original idea, he would almost scold Xiao Ping for being a loser in doing this.
Xiao Ping knew that the Dao Wang Cannon was for his own sake, and he didn't care too much about his attitude, but said with a smile: "Lao Wang, you don't know the Dao, the varieties of peach trees I got this time are very good, each one can grow to the height of a two-story building, and can bear hundreds of big peaches weighing three or two! Such a big peach tree, planting too densely will affect the yield!"
After listening to Xiao Ping's explanation, Wang Dacang turned from worry to joy, and nodded again and again: "So that's the case, then it's no problem, I'll call everyone to plant trees now!"
Xiao Ping is very confident in these peach saplings. The peach tree in the demon refining pot is as tall as a three-story building, and there are still more than a hundred large peaches hanging on the tree. These peach saplings are all descendants of that peach tree, and they all grew and sprouted in the demon refining pot, and after planting outside, they will often be watered with spiritual liquid, and their future growth will definitely be very amazing.
The facts also proved Xiao Ping's speculation. Half a month after planting the peach sapling, the original saplings of different sizes grew almost large. Even when they saw the king cannon who planted the saplings at the beginning, they couldn't tell which seedling was bigger and which was smaller. The miraculous performance of these peach saplings also made everyone feel relieved, and they praised Xiao Ping for his ability to get such a good variety of peach trees.
After working hard for so long, Boss Wang's construction team finally completed the last project in the farm - the expansion of the chicken farm. The size of the chicken farm has increased fivefold, and the number of chickens that can accommodate it has naturally increased fivefold. Now Zhao Quanke was happy, and he was busy transferring all the chickens. Only a batch of freshly hatched chicks are still kept in the original chicken coop and will not be moved until they are a little older.
After the completion of the new chicken farm, it also marked the completion of the expansion of the farm, and Xiao Ping's career reached a new level. Just two days after Boss Wang's engineering team left, the first batch of green leafy vegetables after the expansion of the farm was harvested.
