Chapter One Hundred and Nine: Observation and Tour
"Boss, he's lost. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The boulder muffled.
"I'm not lost." Lin Zekai shouted: "I told him that he didn't get lost, but he just didn't listen!" ”
"You like to lie," said Boulder without hesitation, "I asked Little Tom if he wanted to help with the fruit that day, and he said no, and then he turned around and carried the basket, obviously he wanted it." ”
Lin Ze opened his breath!
He also discovered that this giant's brain was different from ordinary people.
Zhou Yu hurriedly said, "Okay, okay." Boulder, it's good to help people, but ask clearly. ”
"Oh." Boulder scratches its head.
As he was talking, Old Bell drove a sightseeing car to stop at the door, and then jumped out of the car with a few nets: "Hey, boss, boulder!" ”
"Old Bell." The boulder hurriedly said hello, wanted to pat Old Bell on the shoulder, and retracted his hand - he greeted people, at first, he could make people miserable, and now he has learned his lesson, even if he has been able to control his power at will.
Old Bell laughed: "It's okay, I know you can control it." ”
The boulder laughed.
Old Bell handed the net pocket to Zhou Yu, and nodded to Lin Zekai on the side, and then said to Zhou Yu: "One salmon, two lobsters." ”
Zhou Yu bowed.
This net pocket is not small, the salmon looks like that, I am afraid that there are not five or six kilograms or seven or eight pounds in size, as for the two lobsters, they are also in perfect condition, maybe four or five pounds!
Much bigger than it was a few months ago.
"Boss," said old Bell at this time, "I guess I can catch it once in the near future." Although the amount of catch this time is not too much, it should not be worse than last year. By August and September, the fishery will be in full swing. ”
Zhou Yu nodded: "You are a professional, what to do, you can do it." ”
After sending off Old Bell, Zhou Yu asked the boulder to deal with the lobster and kill the fish himself.
Lin Zekai was also in high spirits, washing the lobsters with the boulder, one for each of them, but they quickly became harmonious.
Dinner wasn't shabby, honey-glazed salmon, steamed lobster, a big pot of stewed beef, and a few side dishes. The main reason is that the belly of the boulder is very large, and a large pot of beef, I am afraid that it will not be seven or eight catties, and almost all of it will fall into his belly.
Except for the time when Zhou Yu was just brought out of the jade seal, the boulder didn't often eat here with Zhou Yu later. It is often three or two days before it is possible to have that once.
I also bumped into it today, seeing that this guy was eating so happily, Zhou Yu estimated that when he usually cooks by himself, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome.
After dinner, Jushi didn't like to watch TV, so when he went back, Zhou Yu chatted with Lin Zekai for a while, and saw that he was a little tired, knowing that it was because of jet lag on the plane, so he let Lin Zekai go to sleep.
Nothing was said all night.
When he got up in the morning, Zhou Yu unexpectedly found that Lin Zekai had already gotten up.
At this moment, the sky has just turned white.
"So early?"
Seeing Lin Zekai moving his hands and feet on the lawn outside the door, Zhou Yu smiled: "I thought that a rich man like you should sleep every day until he wakes up naturally." ”
"I woke up naturally." Lin Zekai laughed: "I woke up in the middle of the night, couldn't sleep, and played with my mobile phone for a while, and only came out after seeing that it was dawn." ”
So that's what happened.
"Do you still have a habit of recognizing the bed?" Zhou Yu couldn't help asking.
"Admit a fart." Lin Ze burst into foul language: "Do you think I'm a child?" I'm over forty, twice as big as you! It's just that I've slept on the plane, and I'm a little uncomfortable with the jet lag. ”
"Run?" Zhou Yu proposed.
"Together." Lin Ze laughed.
The two shuttled through the orchard side by side, and Lin Ze ran for about ten minutes before he was out of breath.
"How long has it been since you exercised?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but say.
"Exercise every day." Lin Zekai stopped and rested on a snake fruit tree on the side of the road: "People like us, rich and powerful, pay the most attention to their bodies. But you can't compare. Running so fast, my lungs are almost gasping out, your face is not red and you are not panting, it is really amazing! ”
"I'm young." Zhou Yu smiled: "Why don't you go back?" After breakfast, I'll take you around the farm. ”
"Okay. As long as it doesn't bother you to exercise. ”
"It's fine."
The two walked back slowly, and as they walked, Zhou Yu gave Lin Zekai a rough idea of the situation of the farm: "When I bought this farm earlier, it was only more than 8,000 acres. It is divided into four orchards, which are the four fruits on the market before. Snake fruit, red grapes, banana and pineapple. ”
"Snake fruit and red grapes are further east, away from the coast. Bananas and pineapples are to the west, near the coast. Snake fruit and pineapple in the north, banana and red grape in the south. Add to that the more than 1,000 acres of snake orchards that I later bought further north of the wooded area, which is exactly 10,000 acres. ”
"At the same time as buying the northern forest area, I also bought a 100-square-kilometer sea area as a fishing ground. In the middle of the year, the farm was expanded, and another 10,000 acres were purchased to the south, mainly to grow watermelons, lychees and hawthorns. In the case of lychees, they can be produced in May and June, and when the time comes, they can open on the Xiangjiang side. ”
"After I went to Xiangjiang to negotiate a joint venture with you a few years ago, I continued to expand, this time expanding 20,000 acres of land to the south and annexing nine small farms and pastures, which cost me a lot of money. But in the future, the fruit varieties will be more diversified... After breakfast, I'll show you them all. ”
After talking, he went back to the villa, had a simple breakfast, and took Lin Ze to get on the sightseeing car, first going north, starting from the snake orchard.
Generally speaking, the flowers of snake fruit do not begin to bloom until April and May, and the formation of flower buds does not begin until April.
However, Zhou Yu's snake orchard, on the lush snake fruit trees, has begun to bulge flower buds. It is estimated that this flowering period is one month earlier than that of ordinary snake fruits.
If you push it on, you can see that the ripening time of the snake fruit on the farm is also earlier than that of ordinary snake fruit.
This year's snake fruit tree has an earlier flowering period than last year, and last year was also the end of March, which is not long earlier than ordinary snake fruit. But now, a full month ahead!
"That's the advantage." Lin Zekai was surprised: "Could it be because the climate here in California is better?" ”
To do this business, it is natural to have an understanding of some relevant information. The fruit of the Jade Seal Farm, the snake fruit is very famous, he has studied it, and knows when the snake fruit blooms.
Therefore, it is even more surprising.
Of course, what he said was just a joke.
It must not be just the climate - otherwise, the snake fruit from the Jade Seal Farm would not be so expensive.
"We started at the Snake Orchard, went all the way south, passed the Red Grape Garden, then got out of the farm, went to the new Zone 1, the new Zone 2, and finally back along the coast."
The sightseeing bus shuttles through the orchard, and the faint smell of fruit fills the surroundings - even if there is no fruit now, the smell of fruit is still there!
Looking at the dense buds on the snake fruit tree, Zhou Yu smiled. These not only represent a large amount of Franklin, but also represent more warm jade honey.
Passing through the snake orchard, you will enter the red grape garden to the south.
The flowering period of red grapes is about a month later than that of snake fruit, and at this time, there are no flower buds in sight. However, the lush leaves, together with the artificially built support, reveal a different landscape.
"Under the vine leaves, it should be a good choice to put a table, make a pot of tea, and play mahjong with others." Lin Zekai put forward his opinion.
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes: "Playing mahjong? Not interested. ”
"You're just too boring, how can you be similar to my father?" Lin Zekai rolled his eyes: "Even my dad will play golf and ride a horse when he has time." What about you? ”
"Me?" Zhou Yu said with a smile: "It's okay to read a book, or go to sea to play." ”
"Where's the body?" Lin Zekai said: "This is the United States, this is close to Los Angeles, how can you ignore the wonderful life of the body?" ”
"This isn't the first time you've told me." Zhou Yu laughed: "I think, Joel and you should be able to get along." ”
"Joel? Who is it? Lin Ze said curiously.
"Joel Lockheed." Zhou Yu is up to the point.
"Lockheed... Oh! Lin Zekai pondered for a long time, and suddenly realized: "Lockheed, I know, the world's largest arms company!" It's really a character, Zhou Sheng, I must introduce you when you have time. ”
"Hehe, it must be." Zhou Yu smiled.
As he spoke, the sightseeing car passed through the red ti garden, nodded and greeted the passing workers, and then left the old farm area, crossed the road outside the farm, and entered the new first area.
"There are only three kinds of output in the new first district, watermelon, lychee and hawthorn."
"Watermelons are only 1,000 acres, and in the first season of winter last year, they created a wealth of nearly two billion yuan for me. The output of the first season of this year is about the same time as that of lychees, and it will be in April and May. As for hawthorns, it will take until August and September. ”
Although the growth cycle of various fruits has been shortened a lot because of the jade seal, there is a limit. For example, hawthorn can be harvested in October and November, but now Zhou Yu has shortened the time by a month at most.
"These lychee trees were all planted last year," Zhou Yu said to Lin Ze with one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand pointing to those lychee trees: "They are all hanging green lychees, the best varieties, and the seedlings that took a lot of effort to introduce." ”
said that it was a seedling, but in fact, when I bought it, it was half a pile for two or three years. Lychee trees can grow up to ten meters tall, and the lychee trees in Zhou Yu's farm are now about three or four meters.
Through the lush, cascading leaves, clusters of little finger-sized fruits loom between the branches and leaves.
"Hanging green lychees?" Lin Zekai smiled when he heard this: "This kind of lychee itself is very valuable..."
Zhou Yu nodded: "It is because the price of this variety of lychee is high enough that I have divided such a large piece of land for planting." However, lychees in the United States do not seem to sell well, of course, the lychees I produce here, whether they are lychees, or others, the sales are not a problem. But come to think of it, it should be more popular in Great Xia. ”
Lin Zekai thought so. (To be continued.) )
