Chapter 215: Tea Garden

"Xiao Li, it's not okay to do this!" Chen Wenchuan was the one with the most resolute attitude, and said to Li Yuan seriously: "Now the weather is too hot, it will take at least a week to plant so many tea trees on the mountain, I am afraid that in the summer, there will be less than half of the tea trees that can survive!" ”

Chen Zugang, who was honest, also agreed with the old village chief's opinion, and said to Li Yuan seriously: "Yes, boss, it's too risky." ”

Even Liu Yucheng, a villager introduced by Chen Wenchuan to manage the tea plantation, did not agree with Li Yuan's decision. said that he would rather come to work a year late and get tens of thousands of yuan less in salary, and he didn't want Li Yuan to act so rashly.

Although everyone was against his decision, Li Yuan was very happy. Because he knew that Chen Wenchuan and the others didn't mean to go against him, they did it completely for the sake of the farm.

But even if everyone else was against it, Li Yuan insisted on planting all the tea trees this year. Because he has a secret weapon in hand, even if he transplants tea trees in the big Futian, he doesn't have to worry about the survival rate.

So even though everyone strongly objected, in the end Li Yuan still said seriously: "I know that everyone is for the good of the farm, but this matter is still done according to my decision." ”

Although everyone thinks that transplanting tea trees will fail now, Li Yuan is the boss after all, and since he has said so, Chen Wenchuan and others are not good at objecting anymore.

Even if he still didn't agree with Li Yuan's decision, Chen Wenchuan still said to the others: "Yu Cheng, Zu Gang, you stay and sum up with me, how can you try to increase the survival rate a little!" ”

Satisfied with everyone's attitude of thinking about the farm, Li Yuan said with a smile: "Cheng, then you discuss first, and I will contact the nursery to buy tea seedlings." ”

Last time Li Yuan bought oak trees, he had dealt with many nurseries, so it was not difficult for him to contact the nurseries to buy tea tree seedlings.

The climate in the Jiangnan region is still more suitable for growing green tea. Moreover, there are also many famous tea varieties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, such as Longjing, Biluochun, etc., which are very famous varieties of green tea.

In fact, for Li Yuan, it doesn't matter what variety he plants, as long as he grows it with gold beads, it will definitely be a fine product. So he almost didn't think much about it, so he decided to plant a dragon well in the tea plantation. There is no special reason for this decision, just because Li Yuan remembers that Lao Liao likes to drink Longjing.

Once you've decided on the tea variety you want to plant, the rest is much easier. Li Yuan contacted several nurseries in the vicinity, three of which had the Longjing tea seedlings he needed.

Li Yuan personally went to the nursery to see the situation of the seedlings, and there were two families with only two-year-old tea seedlings, and it would take several years for these seedlings to grow to the size of tea leaves. The tea seedlings in the last nursery were very much in line with Li Yuan's requirements -- they had a batch of four-year-old tea seedlings.

The tea saplings that have been growing for four years are almost up to the waist of a person, and the tree shape is also well built. Li Yuan was very satisfied after taking a look, and brought Liu Yucheng, the future director of the tea garden, to see it again, and the latter was also satisfied with the situation of these tea seedlings.

Liu Yucheng told Li Yuan that these tea saplings have been basically formed. After transplanting to the farm's tea plantation, as long as all aspects of management keep up, a small amount of tea can be produced next year.

Li Yuan hopes that the tea garden can produce as soon as possible, so he insists on transplanting tea trees in this season. Since Liu Yucheng had already said so, he did not hesitate at all, and immediately ordered 7,000 tea trees from the nursery.

Although Li Yuan contracted the hill belonging to Ningxia Village, the tea trees were only suitable for planting on the gentle slopes facing the sun. Therefore, the area that can be used to grow tea on the mountain is only a little more than five acres when it is full. According to the density of 1,300 tea trees planted per mu, 7,000 tea trees are just enough.

In fact, according to Liu Yucheng's idea, he was built by Li Yuan to adopt the method of high-density planting. Planting more than 3,000 tea trees per acre of hillside can improve land utilization and increase the yield of tea gardens.

However, Li Yuan will water the tea trees with gold beads, and the growth rate of the tea trees must be very fast. In addition, Xiantao agricultural products have always taken the high-quality route, and the low planting density is conducive to improving the quality of tea. Therefore, Li Yuan still decided to plant only 1,300 tea trees per mu of hillside according to the lowest planting density.

Of course, the price of four-year-old tea trees is not cheap, and the price of each tree is 35 yuan. This is still because the other party saw that the quantity bought by Li Yuan was enough, and offered a wholesale price.

But even so, the price of 7,000 tea seedlings is as high as more than 240,000 yuan. If it weren't for the recent good income of the farm, if Li Yuan had to come up with so much money at once, he would really feel a little struggling.

Hearing that this batch of tea seedlings costs so much money, Liu Yucheng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. He still thinks that the survival rate of transplanting tea trees in this season will definitely not be high. Of the more than 200,000 yuan, I am afraid that more than half of it will be wasted.

Of course, Li Yuan was not worried about this problem, and agreed with the nursery that they would raise 1,000 tea seedlings every day and send them to the farm for planting, and strive to plant all the 7,000 tea seedlings within a week.

The news that Li Yuan had bought tea seedlings soon spread back to the farm. Although Chen Wenchuan and the others did not agree with his approach, they immediately got busy.

In order to allow the tea seedlings to be planted as soon as they arrived, Chen Wenchuan organized people to dig pits in the tea garden in advance. With 7,000 tea saplings to be planted in a short period of time, Chen Wenchuan found temporary help from many villagers in the village, promising them handsome rewards.

Li Yuan has no opinion on this, and promises that all temporary workers will have a salary of 300 yuan per day, but the requirement is not to be lazy. Whoever is passive and slacking off like Zhong Shengmin and others in the past will definitely be fired on the spot.

In fact, everyone saw the fate of Zhong Shengbin and others, and naturally no one dared to do such a thing again. In addition, the people found by the old village chief are very reliable, so after the tea tree arrived, everyone worked very hard, and no one was lazy. With the efforts of everyone, 7,000 tea seedlings were planted a day ahead of schedule.

And Li Yuan himself was not as lazy as usual during this time, but was responsible for watering the tea trees. To do this, he uses a cistern in the vegetable field, which is filled with water and then pumped to the hillside of the tea plantation by a guò pump to water the newly planted tea trees.

Of course, in this process, Li Yuan did not forget to add gold beads to the reservoir. It is precisely because of this that all the tea trees planted are very spiritual, and none of them have withered and died.

Everyone didn't expect this, and everyone was very surprised. And Li Yuan, the only one who knows the inside story, is, of course, tight-lipped and will never tell the truth.

In the accident of Chen Wenchuan and others, the tea garden is also beginning to take shape. Li Yuan believes that as long as he waits until the beginning of spring next year, he will be able to find another way to make money.

Wang Qiaoyang also soon came to the farm and officially took over the management of the fish pond. Just when several departments of the farm were on the right track, Li Yuan unexpectedly received a call from Chen Junkun. (To be continued.) )
