The fruits in front of the house and behind the house were cleaned up, allowing Zhou Yu to make a small profit, but there were only so many fruits, just a one-time sale. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAs for the fruit trees planted on the small square plots of land separated by canals in the yellow eel breeding area, they are all half-studded.

Although under the influence of the jade seal, it grows faster and faster, but to bear fruit, it will be next year at the earliest.

At this stage, Zhou Yu's career still has to focus on the breeding of yellow eel, and as for fruit trading, it is just extra money and piggybacking.

After a month of sweeping, plus the original yellow eels in the canal, the total amount handled was one hundred and fifty or sixty catties. The amount is not large, and if it is sold in one go, even if it is a hundred yuan a catty, it is only more than 10,000 yuan.

It's not that Zhou Yu doesn't want to continue to expand the scale, it's mainly that wild yellow eels are not easy to catch.

The villages in the ten miles and eight townships near Rongshupo have all been touched by Zhou Yu, and the harvest should be there for the second time, but it is not big. As for the farther place, Zhou Yu didn't want to go.

If you go far away, your grandfather is alone at home, and it is impossible to trouble Aunt Zhang to take care of it every day.

Therefore, it can only be abandoned.

Don't look at only one hundred and fifty or sixty catties of yellow eels, but these guys have a growing appetite.

At the beginning, Zhou Yu only needed to feed them once a day, and three or five catties of earthworms could satisfy them. But now, one or twenty pounds can't be satisfied.

They can eat as much as they are fed.

It almost makes the earthworm pond green and yellow.

But I eat a lot, but I grow fast!

Zhou Yu carefully observed and found that those seedlings that hatched in June and July have only grown to the thickness of their fingers in only three months now!

Those who were originally three or two pounds also soared in size!

Therefore, the previous estimate of 150 or 60 catties should be wrong. To say the least, there are two hundred pounds!

You know, those finger-thick yellow eels are also sold in the market. If Zhou Yu is ruthless, such a yellow eel can still be sold.

But Zhou Yu won't.

These little guys are the seeds to stay!

Yellow eels are transgendered creatures, and generally speaking, young eels are females, while large eels are males. After the young eels lay eggs, they gradually become males!

So keep the seeds, unlike some other creatures, which are specially reserved for the big ones. Yellow eels should be specially kept small.

According to the current growth trend, as long as the bait is sufficient, wait until the eve of the New Year, the total weight of the yellow eel in the canal may have to rise to another level!

Of course, correspondingly, the bigger the eel, the higher the price!

Zhou Yu is looking forward to it.

September passed quickly, and during this time, Zhou Yu, in addition to serving his grandfather, used everything else on the barren slopes of the back mountain.

The barren slope area is not small, and it is a separation zone between the yard and the pine forest.

This barren slope belonging to Zhou Yu's family, the length is about more than 40 meters, which corresponds to the length of the yellow eel breeding area, and its width is more than 20 meters, and the total area is half smaller than the yellow eel breeding area.

But there is also a little more than an acre.

On the right side of the barren slope, near the stream. On the left, it belongs to Uncle Zhang's land. On the lower left, there is a bamboo forest.

Because of the big sale of fruits, Zhou Yu thought about it and decided to turn this barren slope into a fruit forest. This barren slope has no other purpose than to be used as a fruit forest.

However, because of the proximity to the bamboo forest, there are many bamboo roots entangled in the left part of the ground.

Zhou Yu spent most of the month on this.

The bamboo roots were dug up one by one, and a deep ditch was dug between the barren slope and the bamboo forest, and a barrier was set up to prevent the bamboo forest from continuing to extend to the barren slope.

On the 11th National Day, this bamboo root was finally cleaned up.

But that's not all, the next step is to clean up the weeds and shrubs on the barren slopes, which is another big project. It cannot be set on fire, it can only be removed manually.

Because of the proximity to the pine forest, it is late autumn and close to winter, the air is dry, and once the fire is set on fire, if it spreads, it will be a disaster!

So just in case, Zhou Yu could only do it himself.

In another half a month, by mid-to-late October, the barren slope was finally completely cleared out by Zhou Yu. And on the barren slope, every three meters, a pit was dug, and then, only the fruit seedlings were bought and planted.

The barren slope is forty-five meters long and twenty-one meters wide, and every three meters there is a seedling, which means that one hundred and five fruit seedlings are needed.

Zhou Yu also dug exactly one hundred and five pits.

The best season for planting trees, some people say that it is the wax moon in the deep winter, and some say that it is before and after the Qingming Festival after the beginning of the year, in fact, they are all the same, and it is estimated that because of the different varieties, the planting season is different. But for Zhou Yu, with the jade seal as the foundation, everything is not a problem.

Go to the seedling merchant right now.

Zhou Yu already had an experience in buying fruit seedlings, and the fruit seedlings in the yellow eel breeding area came from here.

Familiar with the way, I went directly to someone's house.

The nursery is at the other end of Qingshan Town, not far from the town, I took a car to the town, called a motorcycle, and went straight to the nursery.

The owner of the nursery is surnamed Li, a thin man in his thirties, wearing eyes, looking polite, and everyone calls him glasses Li. I heard that I graduated from an agricultural university, so I started my own nursery when I came back.

His wife was born well, very plump, but not fat.

I have a little daughter, who is only three years old.

"Brother Li!"

Before Zhou Yu stepped forward, the barking of dogs in the yard came out.

Glasses Li has a big wolf dog at home, which is very scary. Even though Zhou Yu is now strong and terrifying, he is still vigilant against the wolf dog.

When I first came here to buy fruit seedlings, I was almost bitten by that dog!

"Who?"

A woman's voice came out, and then the door opened, and Glasses Lee's wife walked out.

She took a closer look at Zhou Yu and felt familiar, but she didn't recognize it.

Zhou Yu smiled: "Hello sister-in-law, I'll come to Brother Li to buy some fruit seedlings." ”

As soon as she heard that it was business, Glasses Li's wife smiled, and then said, "Come in, my husband is in the house." ”

drove away the wolf dog and let Zhou Yu enter the house.

Glasses Li also came out, but he recognized Zhou Yu, and remembered that more than half a year ago, Zhou Yu came to him to buy fruit seedlings. At that time, Zhou Yu was still wearing a school uniform, which made a deep impression.

"It turned out to be you," glasses Li Hehe smiled: "Do you want to buy fruit seedlings again?" ”

Zhou Yu nodded: "I want one hundred and ten seedlings, and some of them are all kind." "I want more in case I need them, and if I take them back and a few of them are broken, I can use the extra ones.

"Okay." Glasses Lee nodded.

One hundred and ten, not a lot of them, he didn't really care.

But since it's business, it's going to be done.

took Zhou Yu from the backyard into the nursery, and directly let Zhou Yu choose by himself, and soon, he pulled out one hundred and ten fruit seedlings, all of which were two-year-old half-piles. There were peaches, plums, pears, and apricots, and when I saw the grape seedlings, I thought about it, and I bought 20 of them, as well as strawberries, and I also bought some seeds.

In total, it cost less than two thousand.

I borrowed three wheels from Glasses Li, transported these seedlings home, and then drove back and returned the car to others.

Once the seedlings are bought, of course they must be planted.

Zhou Yu was non-stop, busy and dizzy.

More than 100 seedlings were planted, and it only took one day. Then he planted grapes in front of the house and behind the house, and planted strawberries in the orchard on the barren slope.

At this point, the orchard took on a shape.

...

Since Zhou Yu gave up going to college, there has been no shortage of topics about him. The villagers were first surprised and regretted that he did not go to university because of his good grades, and later saw him catching yellow eels everywhere and felt that he was not doing his job. Then I heard that he was selling fruit and making some money, and then I saw him working on an orchard, and he seemed to be busy with it.

However, people don't believe that a hairy boy like Zhou Yu can really do anything.

Orchards and so on, it's not like they haven't sprung up before.

In those years, because of the popularity of the fruit market, many villagers pondered to build orchards, but in the end, they basically lost money. Now those orchards are history, and everything that should be cut down has been cut down and turned into agricultural land.

So they have reason to believe that so many of them can't succeed, and Zhou Yu will definitely not succeed if they push themselves and others.

only regarded it as a conversation after dinner, but it made Zhou Yu's fame more vigorous. Of course, as for whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, it is difficult to say.

Many people in the surrounding villages have heard of the existence of such a person as Zhou Yu, and they don't say that they can't go to university but engage in agriculture, which is really brainless!

Zhou Yu also heard about these gossips, but he didn't care.

What he is thinking about now is how to expand the scale of yellow eel farming next year!

The problem still includes the bait - the earthworm pond, which can meet the demand at this stage, but once it is scaled up, it will be difficult to meet.

So, this is something to take into account. Zhou Yu estimated that around the beginning of the year, he would make another earthworm pond.

Secondly, there is the earth.

Zhou Yu's family's land, that's all, has almost been used up now. To expand, more land is needed, and it needs to be close to the stream.

In this way, it is possible to ensure that the canal is always alive water.

Therefore, it is necessary to contract either with the villagers or from the village.

Zhou Yu considered that it was very troublesome to contract with the villagers, how to say it, next to the yellow eel breeding area, along the terraced fields down the stream, each family is different. If there are many contracts, it is very troublesome to deal with multiple households.

So he decided to contract with Murakami, and the location of the contract was across the stream from his own yellow eel breeding area. It was also a wasteland, near the stream, and it didn't belong to any household, but it belonged to the village.

However, the area of that land is not small, I am afraid that there are not seven or eight acres, if it is contracted, according to Zhou Yu's idea, once and for all, it will take 30 years.

Thirty years, seven or eight acres, one acre is a few hundred yuan a year, in general, nearly 100,000 yuan!

And now, Zhou Yu can barely get 10,000 yuan.

The gap is very large.

Even if the yellow eels in the breeding area are converted into money, it is not enough.

This made him a little scratchy.

If you don't have enough things to do, you can't rush them, and it's never too late to do them when you have money.
