There is a lot of power, and a lot of old people have been called, and they have lived here all their lives, how can they pay attention to the camellia tree, and it is not that no one has squeezed oil before.

The survival rate is not a problem, the wild can survive, not to mention careful planting; The year of hanging fruit is about five years, the yield is based on the branches, the camellia tree can grow up to five or six meters, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the fruit is naturally more, as for how to prune the branches, we don't understand, but it doesn't matter, you can find a professional to do it.

In terms of cultivating seedlings, you can use seeds or cuttings, but because you don't understand technology, the success rate of cuttings is not high, so you don't have to worry about this for the time being.

In terms of lifespan, there is no problem with hundreds of years, because some tea trees on this mountain have been there since the childhood of these old people.

In addition, the number of 1,000 was given as to how many existing tea trees there were, and it was decided that tomorrow we would divide the work to count all the camellia trees within the flag planting area, and carefully look for any missing golden silk nanmu.

The cost of planting, this is almost no cost, the people of the whole commune are labor, there is no need to use machines, fertilizer can also be saved, everyone plans to raise more cattle, use cow dung instead of fertilizer.

Finally, the specific output and oil output are also crucial.

Wang Qinian gave a 10:1 number, that is, ten catties of fruit can produce one catty of pure crude oil, but it is still inaccurate. Because there was too little fruit just now, and it hadn't been exposed to the sun. In addition, the oil yield of the fruit produced when the sun is not sufficient is lower.

Fang Dajun gave a stupid way, he would pick the fruits tomorrow, and then calculate the area of each fruit and the height of the tea tree, and record how many fruits were picked.

This is really a stupid way, can only get a rough data, what he wants to think about is, what is the yield of an acre of fruit, the ratio of fruit and oil, so that he can calculate how many catties of total oil production per acre, calculate this, and naturally know how much money can be earned by planting an acre of camellia.

It has been discussed for a long time, and when the kitchen shouts that the meal must be opened, everyone then moves, and the first thing to taste is naturally the taste of camellia oil, and the fried cabbage, except for salt, there is no seasoning in the rest.

Fang Dajun tried it, the taste was really good, and Jin Chi also thought it was delicious, which was different from the taste of fried vegetable oil, with a special fragrance, but in the end, there was still a little bitter taste, this is because this is crude oil, and it has not been deeply processed, that is, the fragrance has been completely released, and the bitterness cannot be suppressed.

Some people think bitter gourd is delicious, and dishes with a bit of bitterness are also good, but some people feel that the bitterness is unpalatable at all, so there are a few people at the scene who think that this oil is not good, and it accounts for a very small part of this proportion.

Moreover, the main consumer group of this oil in later generations is the elderly, and the old people value health more than taste, which also covers up the shortcomings of camellia oil with a little bitterness, and the old people don't care about this at all, as long as they can maintain health and prevent diseases.

Fang Dajun's evaluation is that the oil for cooking vegetarian dishes is quite good, but if you cook meat dishes, it is better to use rapeseed oil, which will be more fragrant. But think about it, the old people can't eat big fish and meat, and this oil really has the advantage of competing for the elderly market.

"The gap between the rich and the poor is gradually widening." He sighed that after the reform and opening up, many rich people will be created, and this high-grade oil will not be sold.

If you want to do it, you can do a big vote, and strive to plant tens of thousands of acres of camellia, he estimates that one mu can produce more than ten or twenty catties of oil, even if it is sold as vegetable oil now, one mu can also have an income of seven or eight yuan, which is not a small amount. A family has 10 acres of tea land, which is 70 or 80 yuan a year, and if there is 100 acres, 7 or 800 yuan a year, what is the concept in 1983, which is equivalent to the annual salary of the township secretary.

It's like Beidou's district secretary Yang Mei has only been working for a year, and he can't stand up to others planting a hundred acres of camellia, so it's better to be an official than to plant tea, uh!

When night fell, no matter how excited he was, he had to sleep after all, because Jin Chi said that he was a little scared, so he was in an adjacent house, and the people of the commune also withdrew, and the row of houses where he was stayed, he and Jin Chi lived. Of course, this is the shape of a quadrangle, and there are people living on the opposite side and on the left and right, so there is really nothing to be afraid of, and it is not wild camping.

Although Jin Chi slept next door, he didn't have any bad intentions, his mind was full of planting tea trees, tomorrow is the 8th, the day when the district secretary takes office, indicating that Beidou is going to end the commune era and enter the township system.

Early the next morning, he didn't get up, which became a habit, as long as no one shouted, he usually slept until mid-morning before waking up naturally.

In the end, it was Jin Chi who woke him up, the time was already past nine o'clock, and the technician of the Agricultural Bureau had already arrived and was resting in the front office, but he had not gotten up yet.

Hurry up, don't care that Jin Chi is next to him, just pull the quilt and put it on, Jin Chi didn't avoid it unexpectedly, but he didn't give a good face, I don't know what to do.

There was a technician named Zhang Jun, who graduated from the agricultural university and was assigned to the county agricultural bureau, and he was more knowledgeable about plants and the characteristics of camellia trees.

As soon as we met, I told him what I knew, which was a little different from what I learned yesterday, for example, the year of bearing fruit was actually four years, not five years as previously guessed, and it was seven or eight years to the peak production period, and when it was about eighty years, the output would be reduced, and by one hundred and fifty years, it would basically be impossible to report hope.

In addition, there are many varieties of camellia trees, even if they are wild, there will be differences in varieties, and it is best to mix planting, that is, a single variety cannot be planted in patches, otherwise it will affect pollination and lead to only flowering and not fruiting.

In addition, if you want to get more fruit, you must fertilize, a tree needs about ten catties of fertilizer, otherwise although the fruit bears more, but because it has to grow for a year, the fertilizer is not enough during this period, it will automatically drop the fruit, because the nutrition of the tree can not keep up. The month of fertilization is June, July or August, which is also the month when it is easiest to drop fruits.

Then there is the cultivation of seedlings, preferably around October, which is now a bit exceeded, but if the seedlings are cultivated now, the survival rate is also relatively high.

In addition, it is better to plant a little slope, not all gentle, and then you need water, which can be properly watered in too hot months.

As for how to prune the branches, this is not a problem, just fumble around. And also told him that in the rest of the places, there are camellia planting areas, but in the whole Renyi, including the whole city, there is no large area of camellia cultivation at present, and the rest of the tea varieties are there, and some people contract the mountain to plant tea, but the area is not large.

And the height of those tea trees is only about one meter, which cannot be compared with camellia, the leaves of camellia trees are almost useless, too old, large and rough, only this fruit has use value.

Also, this fruit can not only be used to squeeze oil, but also can be used to wash clothes and hair, if there are sores on the body, you can also use camellia oil saliva, which has a good therapeutic effect.

The best time to pick camellia fruits is around the time of the "frost fall", that is, in late October every year, when the fruit is already ripe.

And the camellia fruit has a very unique characteristic, that is, "flowers and fruits sit together", every year from October to October, until October of the next year, it is enough to go through a 12-month fruit setting period, the general plant, the fruit is OK to grow a few months.

The specific time of flowering is from October to early December, the white flowers, the flower buds are yellow, and there are plenty of bees in this month. Because the climate is relatively cold during the three months of flowering, the sudden low temperature or late frost will cause flower and fruit drop, which is no problem for the environment of this flag, which is also the key, the temperature changes too much in autumn and winter, and the fruit of the camellia tree will be tragic.

And when the fruit is ripe, there is a new camellia to give birth to and open, showing the peculiar phenomenon of flowers and fruits sitting together, so in the folk, Camellia oleifera also has the saying of "holding a child and conceiving a child".

Before, Fang Dajun saw that Chen Danian and the others had not finished picking the fruits, in fact, because the fruits on the tree had just borne fruit this year, and they would not mature until October next year, but by July next year, the fruits would already be very large, and they would only grow more mature in the next two or three months, and would not grow large.

It is also his luck that if he does not pick the fruit now, then these old fruits will be lost one after another and wasted. It is also for one reason that these wild tea trees do not bloom until the end of November, which leads to the relatively late ripening time of the fruit, which makes him catch up with the fruit picking.

Camellia oil is a real all-natural green edible oil. Camellia oil does not contain erucic acid, cholesterol, aflatoxin and other additives. Tested: the unsaturated fatty acids in tea oil are as high as 90 or more, oleic acid reaches 80-83, linoleic acid reaches 7-13, and is rich in protein and vitamins A, B, D, E, etc., especially the rich linolenic acid it contains is necessary for the human body and can not be synthesized. According to scientific identification, the content of oleic acid and linoleic acid in camellia oil is higher than that of olive oil.

Edible tea oil can be fired, beauty, bright eyes, black hair, inhibition of aging, for chronic pharyngitis and prevention of arteriosclerosis and arteriosclerosis complications, hypertension, heart disease, heart failure, kidney failure, cerebral hemorrhage, etc. For the elderly, this oil is equal to a truly effective health care product, and it is also pure natural, which can be lost in seconds, such as so-and-so partner, so-and-so platinum.

Pregnant women and babies can also eat it, because this is not a medicine, but a natural cooking oil, a powerful dietary therapy.

In terms of yield, technician Zhang Jun gave a promise that depending on the variety and the quality of management, an acre of land can pick about 200 to 300 catties of fruit yield, and the oil extraction also depends on the process, as well as the oil content of the fruit, the difference is very large, ranging from 20 to 1 to 5 to 1.

That is, one mu is relatively poor, and there are about 10 catties of camellia oil, but if it is well managed and the varieties are also suitable for the planting environment, it is also possible to produce 60 catties of oil per acre.

Zhang Jun's suggestion is to keep the camellia varieties that are now planted in the flag, and then find a way to introduce some of the remaining varieties from the outside and mix planting, which also makes him not too optimistic, 60 catties per mu without thinking, if an acre can produce 2 or 30 catties, it is already considered very successful.

Now the problem is, although it can hang fruit in four years, it is estimated that one mu in the early stage will only produce a few catties, and it will take seven or eight years to reach about 20 catties per mu. And then there's the final question of marketing.

Fang Dajun smiled, "You can take care of the technical aspects, and I will handle the personnel arrangement and sales." ”

PS: I wrote these chapters and checked a lot of information about Camellia oleifera, and it was only now that I knew that the price of camellia oil was so expensive, seventy or eighty-one catties, so that I wanted to contract the mountain to plant Camellia oleifera, squeeze seven or eight catties of camellia oil, and I wrote a full attendance for a month, uh!
