Chapter 308: The Banana That Soared in Wealth
Chapter 308 The Banana with Soaring Net Worth
Fujian is mostly mountainous and hilly, and the topography of Kukeng Village is no exception.
Kukeng Village is located between two mountains, is a mountain recess, whenever the mountain and water erupt, there will always be a large amount of rainwater in the middle, so in the past, Kukeng Village will often be flooded. Later, the people of Kukeng Village also learned wisely, dug a big lake in the middle, built the embankment high, and dug a ditch to drain the rainwater to the outside stream, and the houses were built on both sides of the big lake, and some even built houses on the mountains next to them. Now Kukeng Village basically no longer has to worry about being flooded.
Lelang walked across the big lake, climbed the hill behind the village, and came to the banana orchard of Zhenxin's home.
Zhenxin's banana orchard is also on a mountain, imitating the terraced model of Lelang's family, there is a ditch behind each layer of bananas, and there are fish in the ditch, but there is no spring water on this mountain, so Zhenxin dug a big pool on it, and then pumped water up from the deep well below, and released water from above, so as to avoid the trouble of watering bananas, and you can also raise fish, killing multiple birds with one stone. At that time, it cost a lot of money to ask someone to drill the deep well, but Le Lang lent it to him first, and asked him to sell the bananas and then pay it back. His family is poor and has no money at all, even the pumps and pipes are Lelang's money.
There are many insects and ants on the mountain, in order to prevent insect pests, Lelang also specially asked him to buy a solar insecticidal lamp, although this solar insecticidal lamp costs a little more expensive for the first time, but at least it does not consume electricity, it is more affordable, these are also the money that Lelang advanced to him.
Another benefit of this solar insecticidal lamp is that the insects killed with the insecticidal lamp can also be put into the water to feed the fish. Every summer, a large bag of insects will be harvested under the insecticidal lamp, and these insects will be thrown into the ditch to feed the fish, and the fish in the ditch will no longer need to be fed, so that the fish will taste better than the wild fish.
When I came to the place, I looked up and saw that there were patches of bananas, but the top one on the hill was not planted, and the original forest was still maintained, and some fruit trees were occasionally planted in the banana forest, which was also to prevent soil erosion and landslides.
A few years ago, there was a torrential rain for several days, and a landslide almost buried the entire mountain village in a neighboring county, and only some people escaped. This is also what Lelang wants to prevent, banana roots are shallow, and they are some tender roots, a little touch will break, can not catch the soil at all, if it rains heavily, the rain soaks into the soil too deep will cause mudslides or landslides and other unfortunate things to happen. In order to avoid this kind of thing, Lelang taught them to plant some fruit trees in the place where the bananas are planted, which can be harvested and prevent soil erosion when they grow up, which can be said to be a win-win result.
Le Lang saw that Zhenxin and his son were using bamboo to fence the banana orchard, so he walked over.
In the past, everyone didn't know about this Thai heterogeneous banana, so no one bought it at all, and even the banana dealers didn't accept it. However, since Lelang made banana wine, the value of this Thai heterogeneous banana has also risen, and now if this banana is sold in other cities, it can be sold for four or five yuan, six or seven yuan per catty, but the amount is very small. After all, bananas are also common things in southern Fujian, the price is so expensive, one is almost a catty, you can buy it to try it, and it is unlikely to buy it often, unless it is transported to those big cities to sell it.
Just because the price of this banana is good, some people are worried about the bananas in this banana orchard, and the bananas planted by someone in the village have been cut, so Zhenxin father and son want to surround the banana garden, and then plant some thorn fences next to it, and the father and son take turns to live here at night. After all, now this banana plantation has become the main source of income for the family, and one less bow is less money.
"Abo, Zhenxin."
Le Lang came to Zheng Xingguo's father and son and greeted them.
"Here we are."
"Ah Lang is here."
Zheng Xingguo's father and son were busy sweating profusely, and when they saw Le Lang say hello to him, they didn't stop the work in their hands, and continued to insert the bamboo in their hands into the holes they had dug.
"Take a break, such a big piece of the film will not be busy for a day or two." Le Lang saw their hard work and persuaded the two fathers and sons, Zhenxin's family are honest and honest people, and they forget to rest as soon as they do things.
"Okay, just take a break."
After listening to Le Lang's words, the two fathers and sons stopped to rest after inserting the bamboo in their hands.
The two picked up the kettle and drank, and picked up the towel they brought to wipe their faces.
"The bananas are growing well these days, and they look a lot darker." Le Lang said as he looked at the thick green banana leaves on the banana tree next to him.
"In the spring, I picked some pig fat to bury it, and after the rain, the banana absorbed the pig fat, and it grew up, and the bananas that produced were very large." Zhenxin said next to him.
"Now I have a few pigs at home."
"Fifteen, there are two sows, and a few are about to be sold."
In order to fertilize bananas, Lelang asked Zhenxin's family to try to raise pigs, originally they were people who planted bananas to buy cow dung and mushroom soil to fertilize bananas, and he didn't feel very good when he saw it. It also costs money to buy cow dung and mushroom soil, which is also a lot of money, so Lelang let them try to raise pigs, and if he has no money, he can lend them first, and now the price of pork is expensive, no matter how much he raises it, he will not lose money. Moreover, if you raise pigs, you will have fertilizer, and you can also dig a biogas digester to make firewood, boil water for cooking, and you will not lose anything.
"You can go to the houses of the people who make wine and see if they want sake lees, and if you don't, you can pull them back and feed them to the pigs, or you can give them a little money, and feeding the pigs with sake lees is not as expensive as feeding corn and wheat husks." Next time I will get you some seeds of wolftail grass, and you can plant some for pigs, and then you can mix them in corn, oatmeal, or distiller's grains to feed the pigs, and you can also save some money. Don't plant thorns after you fence this bamboo, plant some lemons, lemons also have thorns, and the lemons you grow can be bought at that time, and I will collect them when the time comes. There is also an open space under the banana where you can also grow some vegetables, which can be sold or fed to pigs, how nice. Lelang told them one by one, thinking of helping them find a money-saving, green and sustainable development path that suits them.
What Le Lang said, every word was for their sake, which moved Zhenxin's father and son inexplicably. Zheng Xingguo didn't say anything, just sat there silently, didn't say anything, and it was enough to keep some things in his heart.
"Ah Lang, if it weren't for your help, we don't know what would have happened, and we don't know how to thank you." Zhenxin said gratefully that if it weren't for Lelang's help, his home wouldn't be called home at all, and without his help, maybe he would still be lying on the bed.
"What are you talking about, everyone is helping each other, you are providing raw materials for my winery, you are our boss, do you know." Le Lang said to Zhenxin with a smile.
Of course, Zhenxin won't take his words seriously, some things are enough to keep in his heart, and there is no need to say them.
"By the way, there are still some people in the village who want to grow bananas, you see......"
Recently, some people want to plant bananas, knowing that Zhenxin's family is better with Lelang, they all came over to ask him to help talk to Lelang, they are all villagers, and he can't refuse, so he has to talk to Lelang.
"I have to go back to see this to find out, but now the banana growers have to help me take a look, you must not use chemical fertilizers, pesticides and all kinds of drugs that can make bananas grow quickly, otherwise the factory inspection will not be harvested, and it will be white when the time comes."
"Everyone knows this, and they will not do such a thing, you can rest assured."
Zhenxin patted his chest and assured Le Lang that the people in the mountains are simple and generally don't play these tricks, but Le Lang still has to warn him.
"Well, then you can help me take a look at it more."
"Don't worry."
"Then I'm leaving, Abel, I'm leaving."
Le Lang just came over to take a look, and there was nothing wrong, he greeted their father and son at the moment, patted his ass and was about to leave.
"Be careful." Zheng Xingguo said to him.
"Got it."
After saying that, he walked down the mountain.
Along the way, the grass was green, and sparrows flew and chased the insects on the grass.
The forests in Kukeng Village are not cut down and protected in a controlled manner like in Xiaoxi Village, and the surrounding hills are bare, and there is not a single decent tree. There are many varieties of longan and lychee on the hillside, but most of them are planted casually, and the varieties are not very good, and when the harvest comes, they cannot be sold at a good price.
Now everyone in the village knows that they have gone out to work to earn money, and they have all run out, most of the land is barren, some fruit trees are not taken care of, and the weeds under the trees are more than one person high. However, there are still some people who don't want to leave their hometown to go out to work for others, so they grow vegetables and raise pigs at home.
Growing vegetables and selling them in the countryside is actually not worth a few dollars, but if you go to Xiaoxi Village or go to the town to sell, there are people there who are collecting vegetables, and the price will be very good.
There is also pig raising, if you raise more, there will be a special pig dealer to collect, the price is a little more than selling locally, but not much, now the pork in the countryside is almost the same price as the pork in the city, it is estimated that only the vegetables are cheaper.! ~!
