In the past, when he was in college to play "Warcraft" online battle, Wang Shaodong liked multi-line operation, but now that he has been reborn and rooted in the countryside to engage in development, Wang Shaodong has started multi-line operation again.

The farm is counted as a line, a line on Songbai Mountain, a line for building a reservoir, and then the busiest now is the fourth line of big cherry orchards.

In two days, Wang Shaodong and his son found about 20 people from the labor market in Dazhai Village, dug more than 11,000 tree pits on the mountain, and waited for the saplings to come and plant them.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, not to mention that the four things started within a month, and now Wang Shaodong's four production lines are only left with cherry orchards.

Once the pit is dug, the next thing is the water.

The reservoir has not yet been built, and it is certainly impossible to count on it.

Wang Shaodong plans to plant more than 11,000 cherry trees, even if a sapling uses ten catties of water, it will need 55 tons of water.

In the end, Wang Shaodong discussed with his father Wang Fumin, and decided to hire a tractor with a large tin bucket in the village to pull water.

In mountainous areas such as Taohualing Village, there is very little watered land suitable for growing wheat, and most of the land is mountainous land that depends on the weather for food. The mountainous area is not suitable for growing wheat and corn, and there is nine droughts in ten years in the Taohualing area, and when there is no water on the mountain in the dry season, the farmer can only watch it die. The best crop to grow in the mountains is sweet potatoes, which have a well-developed root system that can even take their roots several meters into the ground. There are many mountains, and there is a shortage of water in the mountains when planting sweet potatoes, so there will be several tractors in each village that pull water to the mountains during the sweet potato planting season.

When the time comes, two cents will be sold for a load of fifty catties of water, so that a tractor can pull one and a half water, which can be sold for 12 yuan, and it is very good. Then sell it four or five times a day, so that you can make forty or fifty dollars a day.

There are two tractors with tin buckets in Taohualing Village, one can pull 7.5 tons of water five times a day, and two are 15 tons. The pits are dug and the saplings can be planted in two days, and the Wang family needs a total of 55 tons of water to plant the trees, so that they need about 30 tons of water alone a day, so they have to find two more tractors to pull water.

Fortunately, there are these things in every village, so Wang Shaodong called Zhao Shihai and asked him to find two such tractors from their village, and finally got four tractors.

With four tractors pulling water on wheels, it is estimated that they will be able to keep up with the pace of planting trees.

The tractor that contacted the water puller was delayed for another day, and then there was only one last day left before it went to Jiaodong to pull the saplings.

On the last day, Wang Shaodong managed the chickens with Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao on Songbai Mountain during the day, and then returned to his home on the farm at the bottom of the mountain at night and went to bed early.

Wang Fumin also went to sleep early.

The Wang family is still full of confidence in planting big cherries.

In 2003, the big cherries had begun to be sold at the turntable in the eastern district of Gangcheng County, and the price was very expensive, twenty yuan a catty, ordinary people couldn't afford to eat at all, so they were bought by the workers in Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant.

Big cherries can be high-yielding, and if they are well managed, two or three thousand catties per acre of real estate is not a problem. Even if it is calculated according to 1,000 catties, it is very common to earn 15,000 yuan per mu of land after removing the costs of manual management and so on. It is not impossible for the Wang family to earn 3 million a year in the future with 200 acres of cherry orchards.

Even if the price of big cherries fell later, the wholesale price reached seven yuan a catty, and one mu earned 10,000 yuan, so there were two million to earn.

When he woke up, it was already dawn, and after breakfast, Wang Shaodong called Zhao Shihai and asked him to drive his tricycle and set off at the bridgehead of Dazhai Village.

The place where they are going to pull the saplings today is located on the Jiaodong Peninsula, which belongs to Yantai City, 483 kilometers away from Dazhai Township.

At such a long distance, Wang Shaodong and his uncle's small farm firewood can run to 80 at the earliest, and set off at half past seven in the morning, even if it is the highest speed throughout the whole process, it will take 6 hours, and it will be afternoon when they arrive at the nursery farm. In fact, they can't run so fast all the time, so it's good that they get to their destination before 3 p.m. Then, when the saplings are loaded into the car, it's almost time for dinner.

It seemed that he couldn't come back that day, so he could only stay there for one night and leave early the next morning.

Moreover, along the way, there is a lot of money.

The fuel consumption of light trucks in Wang Shaodong's era is about seven per 100 kilometers, while Zhao Shihai's fuel consumption is about eight. In this way, they need more than 130 liters of diesel fuel alone to run back and forth. At this time, the price of diesel was two yuan, so if you calculate it, the fuel cost is about 260 yuan.

In addition, you have to stay there, eat, etc., and if you calculate it, in addition to the sapling money, this trip will cost another four or five hundred.

Wang Shaodong and Zhao Shihai met at the bridge head of Dazhai Village, and then went on the road one after the other.

In Wang Shaodong's car, Wang Shaodong drove the car, and then Wang Fumin sat in the co-pilot; In Zhao Shihai's car, Zhao Shihai was driving, and his friend An Gang was sitting in the co-pilot.

When you go far away, it's safer to have more people, and if you really get into trouble, you can take care of each other.

They didn't get on the highway, but took the provincial road.

In 2003, many of our highways were still under construction, far from being as smooth as the provincial highways. And. In 2003, there were not many cars on the provincial road, and it was more comfortable to run than at the high speed in the future.

Dazhai Village went east on National Highway 205, and then ran south for more than 20 miles on Provincial Highway 327, and then along the way, Wang Shaodong relied on the memory of his previous life, led the way in front, followed by Zhao Shihai, and went to the direction of Jiaodong.

The journey was quite smooth, and then at twelve o'clock in the afternoon, they came to Pingdu City and stopped.

There are still 177 kilometers away from the destination, and there are still three or four hours to run, so Wang Shaodong decided to have a meal here before leaving.

They found a small restaurant, and when they were about to eat, they saw a farmer pushing a small cart selling grapes at the door, Wang Shaodong stepped forward and asked them if they were Dazeshan grapes, and the other party said yes, Wang Shaodong happily bought a box of ten catties.

After lunch, everyone took a short rest, and then continued on the road at half past twelve.

At half past four in the afternoon, when Wang Shaodong and the others found the Far Eastern International Nursery Farm, they saw someone waiting anxiously at the gate.

Wang Shaodong picked up his mobile phone and made a call, and the person waiting at the door answered the phone, and this person turned out to be Zhao Bingfeng, the cherry orchard manager of the seedling farm.

The whole nursery is very large, and thousands of acres of land belong to this nursery farm.

Just when the workers loaded the saplings on Wang Shaodong and Zhao Shihai's car, Wang Shaodong talked to Zhao Bingfeng that he couldn't leave today, and when he wanted to find a place to live at night, Zhao Bingfeng told him that there was a free guest house in the nursery farm, and immediately called Wang Shaodong to contact the room.

Compared with the prosperity of Jiaodong in the previous life, in 2003, the gap between Jiaodong and Luzhong was not too big.

Wang Shaodong stayed in the guest house of the nursery for one night, and the next morning they did not eat breakfast and left on the road.
