Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
At this time, the first strawberries planted in the greenhouse in the planting base have been ripe, the ones are huge and full, the color is bright red, and the taste is even more sweet and delicious.
In addition, the two early-maturing fruits in the orchard, the long-fruited mulberry and the large cherry, can also be picked.
Cherries were originally northern fruits, Nanling Province has never been planted, in fact, Yequan's orchard, in addition to large cherries, there are apples, bananas, mangoes, pineapples and wine grapes and other real fruits, these fruits have many differences in the climate of the planting place, and there are many differences with the Nanyueling area, and Yequan has a spiritual space, which is full of confidence and is not afraid of failure at all.
The orchard fruit begins to ripen, not only makes people drool, but also attracts many omnivorous birds, these birds are pickier than humans, as long as the fruit pecked by the birds must be ripe, sometimes a fruit on a peck or two, the bird will find another beak, the waste is great.
Ye Mingju, the person in charge of the orchard, was very troubled by this, and the barbed wire around the orchard could only guard against thieves and beasts, but it could not do anything against the sky.
You must know that with the action of surrendering guns in the first ten years and the publicity of bird protection in the nature reserve, the number of birds in Taoyuan Village is increasing, and places such as Weitang and Wolong Lake are known as "bird paradise" and "bird watching resort".
In the end, Ye Quan had an idea, in order to prevent birds from pecking, he brought out four pine sparrow hawks and two owls from the space, and then built a tall tower in the center of the orchard as their nest. Guarding the orchard day and night, driving away birds, etc.
These six eagles did not evolve into spirit birds, though. But because it is incubated in the space, it has inhabited Shennong Mountain since childhood, it is blessed, and it has been warmed by the aura for a long time, and it is extremely handsome when it grows up, not only the body size is much larger than that of the same kind, but also the physique, intelligence, flight and other aspects are outstanding.
Ye Quan used his telekinesis to communicate and recuperate again, and it was only a few days later. The entire orchard was guarded to the core, and even some birds that wanted to fly over the orchard were driven away by the sparrow hawk.
Cherry trees and mulberry trees are space-optimized, and they are often watered with space springs and bioactive fluids, so each one is full of fruit, and even makes people feel a little exaggerated, looking at it from afar. I saw the fruit but not the leaves.
The long-fruited mulberry tree is a small tree, but there are many hanging fruits, and the long-fruited mulberry hangs down from the branches, densely packed, and on the same tree, some of the fruit mulberry is purple. Some are red, some are yellow, some are still unripe blue, and of course there are some long-fruited mulberries that are red in the upper part and yellow in the middle section. The bottom half is cyan and particularly beautiful. Each long-fruited mulberry has an index finger thick, more than 1o centimeters long, and the longest is more than 2o centimeters.
The big cherry tree only hung fruit for the first time this year, the crown was just higher than the human head, there should not be many fruits, but now it seems that a cluster of cherries bent each branch, almost dyeing the fruit tree red, cherries are small fruits, even if they are large cherries, the average weight is only about 11 grams, but the big cherries planted in Yequan are at least 15 grams each, the largest is over 2o grams, the color is red, people have an appetite at a glance.
Ye Quan is not surprised by this, the fruit trees planted in the space, especially the fruit trees near Shennong Mountain, compared with the same variety in the outside world, most of the fruits have some variations, such as larger body size, thinner peel, stronger sweetness or fragrance, and smaller or even seedless fruits, etc., which are basically in a benign direction.
The fruit trees planted in the orchard are spatially optimised and basically maintain this characteristic, but not as prominently as in the space.
Yequan's orchard did not engage in any activities such as "fruit tree rental" and "tourist self-picking tour", one is that this output is not marketable at all, and it has been booked by several five-star hotels early, and these hotels are customers who have purchased green vegetables from Taoyuan planting base, and they are full of confidence in the products labeled with the "Taoyuan" brand, and they have not seen the products before they have placed an order.
The second is because the price is too high, the price of big cherries is 3oo yuan a catty, and the price of long fruit mulberry is 25o yuan a catty.
However, the more than 3oo acres of orchards owned by the village collective will be changed to peaches, pears, lychees, sugar oranges, mulberries, grapes, strawberries and watermelons and other fruits this year, among which strawberries, watermelons and grapes can be harvested after a period of time.
By next year, the fruit trees in the orchard will basically bear fruit, and other villagers will also plant them after seeing the economic benefits, so tourists who come to Taoyuan Village are not afraid of no fruit to eat.
Early this morning, Ye Quan took his family and Han Yueying's three daughters to the orchard to pick, followed by twenty or thirty half-grown children in the village who had taken a holiday, Ye Quan told them that they came to the orchard to pick fruits as work-study, and they would be given ten yuan if they picked a full box, and it would not be a problem to earn more than 100 yuan a day.
When the starling "Ugly" and the gray parrot "Little Handsome" flew into the orchard with their masters, they immediately attracted the attention of the four pine sparrowhawks hovering over the orchard, and two of them cried loudly and pounced.
"Ugly" and "little handsome guy" naturally did not show weakness, and also rushed forward, don't look at the small size of the starling, and the gray parrot is not good at flying, but these two birds are evolved alien species, which cannot be judged by common sense.
"Ugly" flies extremely fast, like a black lightning bolt, which is impossible for people's eyes to catch; The "little handsome guy" has an iron mouth and copper claws, which can leave traces on the steel, and has a hard feather.
Han Yueying and Ye Ni saw two fierce "eagles" pounce on them, worried that their pets would be injured, and hurriedly summoned them back.
However, Ye Quan was worried that the two pine sparrow hawks would be injured, so he quickly let out a long howl, let the four birds separate, and explained the purpose of the pine sparrow hawks.
In the past six months, "Ugly" and "Little Handsome Guy" have brought countless surprises to everyone, and they have long admired Ye Quan's ability to domesticate birds, but they are not too surprised.
The joy of a good harvest is intoxicating if you put aside the heavy physical labor, and you don't have to climb trees to pick cherries and mulberries. It was easy and enjoyable to pick, and everyone was busy.
Of course. In the process of picking fruits, everyone inevitably took the time to stuff one into their mouths and taste the deliciousness of fresh fruits.
There are delicious fruits to eat and make money, Ye Wenqi and the others are naturally happy, and Han Yueying's three daughters are also very happy, they all grew up in the city, and they know what the fruits look like. I don't know what the fruit trees look like, I used to pick strawberries in the suburbs, and now there is no comparison, the mountains are full of fruit trees, and the front and back are bright fruits, and the mood is like flying, forgetting all the troubles.
Liao Xiaolei usually loves to eat fruits. Now she is chewing non-stop, Han Yueying said: "Eat less, no one will rob you, be careful to eat too much and lose your teeth." ”
Liao Xiaolei threw another cherry in her mouth, and said disappreciatively: "This cherry and long-fruited mulberry are sweeter than honey, not sour at all." Afraid of what? Besides, such a delicious fruit, even if you have a tooth, you are willing to do it. ”
Ye Ni, who was following them, has been very diligent since she was a child, and her work is no worse than that of adults, Liao Xiaolei grabbed a handful of cherries with fruit stalks in her hand and shook them, and asked curiously, "Yaya." Why don't you eat it? Don't like it? ”
Ye Ni blinked wide, not knowing how to answer. Other children love to eat biscuits, candy, chocolate and ice cream, she doesn't like it, she takes fruit as a snack every day, and can always conjure up all kinds of fruits in her schoolbag and pocket, and it is an authentic space product, and the taste is better than the fruit in front of her, so she naturally doesn't want to eat it much.
Yuan Hui looked at the fruit trees in other areas of the orchard and sighed: "This orchard has planted so many varieties of fruit trees, I want to come to Taoyuan Village to work after graduation, so that I can eat fresh fruits all year round." ”
The large cherries and long-fruited mulberries in the orchard only occupy a few acres, and the others include peaches, black gem plums, pears, fragrant pears, lychees and watermelons, etc., at this time the fruits are not small, and they will gradually ripen after a while.
Han Yueying said with a smile: "Okay, I heard Ye Quan say that there are already three hundred outsiders who come to work in Taoyuan Village, and there must be suitable jobs." ”
Yequan's orchard is not far from the village, the red fruit hangs on the branches, you can see it from afar, it can be described as "the scenery is unique here", it will naturally attract the attention of some tourists, if it is not separated by more than three meters of barbed wire, I am afraid that someone can't help but run to the orchard to try it.
Seeing someone picking in the orchard, three tourists who had just passed by and seemed to be a family of three ran over.
The two adults looked to be in their thirties, dressed casually, the little boy was slightly older than Ye Ni, about six or seven years old, carrying a small backpack, running in front, and from time to time turning back to urge his parents: "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to pick cherries." ”
It happened that Ye Quan came over with a few foam boxes, so he waited at the gate of the orchard for a while.
The little boy was tiger-headed and said to Ye Quan very politely: "This uncle, are these fruit trees yours?" Can I go in and pick fruit to eat? ”
The little boy's mother hurriedly stepped forward when she heard this, and some said embarrassedly: "This little brother, can you let us pick some of the fruits from your orchard, and weigh them when the time comes, how much should be counted, do you think it's okay?" ”
Ye Quan smiled heartily and said, "I don't plan to open this orchard, but if I encounter it, it's fate, you can come in, eat it if you want, and take a few catties back when you leave." ”
The little boy's father said: "What's so embarrassing, let's pick the fruit and weigh it, even if it's thirty yuan a catty, do you think it's okay?" ”
Seeing that they insisted, it was not easy to refuse again, so Ye Quan nodded and said, "Okay, then that's it." ”
The driver who was loading the car was an old employee of Taoyuan Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., although he didn't know that Ye Quan in front of him was his big boss, but he was very familiar with the market of things produced in Taoyuan Village, and couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said: "Thirty yuan a catty? Do you know how much it costs to sell these cherries in the city? Three hundred! Don't sell for a penny less. ”
Ye Quan glared at the talkative driver, pulled the little boy into the orchard, and said, "Come in, don't listen to his nonsense, this fruit can be sold at a high price when it enters the city, but it will be at this price when it grows on a tree." ”
The couple listened to the driver's words and became a little embarrassed, but they didn't believe it in their hearts, so they just thought they were talking big.
However, after they entered the orchard and tasted a few big cherries and long-fruited mulberries, they finally believed it, and said that three hundred yuan a pound would really be bought for three hundred yuan a catty.
