Chapter 60 Increasing Production
"Well," Yuan Ning nodded, his tone very determined, "However, I won't need to set up the stall in person next year." ”
Su Heting was stunned, "Why is this?" ”
"Because I've already made a name for myself!" Yuan Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, "Now many people know that I have auspicious fruits for sale here, and the profits are considerable, and there will definitely be merchants who will contact me in the coming year."
"After they get the fruit, they will sell it in secondary packaging, and the price is a little higher than what I set before, but because it is more high-end, they don't worry about sales.
"What's more, they can sell the fruit further afield, further increasing the price......
Su Heting was dumbfounded, he had never regarded Yuan Ning as a little girl who was a little more than ten years old, but after hearing these words, there was still a fluctuation in his heart, with such a mind, it was only a matter of time before he soared!
He quickly reined in his mind and said meaningfully: "If no one blocks you, you will naturally have a smooth ride in your work, and I'm afraid that someone won't be able to see you." ”
"You mean Zhu Jiugu?" Yuan Ning raised his eyebrows, and a hint of mockery appeared on his lips, "Or my clansmen?" ”
Su Heting shrugged, "It's good that you know it yourself." ”
Yuan Ning has never regarded those people as opponents, so naturally she didn't take them to heart, she planned very well, it only took a short period of time, and she took her younger brothers and sisters over after she gained a foothold in the county, except for Ji Xiu, who was too young, the remaining three were going to enter the academy!
It doesn't matter if the school doesn't accept female students, just let Zhong Ling pretend to be a boy.
As long as the family moves out of here, it is also far away from right and wrong.
Of course, knowing that they have a future, the clansmen will definitely come back to fight the autumn wind, and she, pushing two hundred and sixty-five, initially only said that she and others were funded by well-wishers, and when they are older, they naturally have other explanations.
Yuan Ning was not idle and began to prune the branches.
Su Heting said to her while working: "Do you know the way to let fruit trees set more fruits? ”
"Well," Yuan Ning thought for a moment, "Isn't it the result of more fruit set?" The fruit on the tree must be big and good to sell.
"You can take the method of artificial pollination, and then properly thin flowers and fruits, timely fertilization, hoeing and so on."
"What is hand pollination?" Su Heting humbly asked for advice.
"Fruit trees need bees to pollinate their fruits, otherwise how can they bear fruit?" Yuan Ning tried his best to narrate in a language he could understand, "But we don't seem to have beekeeping here, and wild bees alone are definitely not enough, so I thought of using artificial pollination to pollinate flowers, which is called artificial pollination." ”
Su Heting can understand by sparse flowers and fruits, "Then pick out some of the flowers that don't bloom well, or those that are too dense, and the fruits are the same, right?" ”
"Well," Yuan Ning smiled and nodded, this man is really smart, "Moreover, I heard the old man in the village say that if there is a lot of fruit this year and the fruit trees are affected, there will be very little fruit in the next year." ”
Su Heting bowed slightly, but he did have such a saying, "However, I heard that proper peeling of fruit trees can also increase yields." ”
"You mean that, right?" Yuan Ning picked up his axe and slashed more than half a circle in the trunk of a pear tree near the ground.
Su Heting touched his nose, "I just heard about it, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes." ”
Yuan Ning grinned, revealing a mouth full of snow-white teeth, "The old man in the village said that it was very useful to do this, and I also went to other people's houses to see it." However, I don't plan to treat all fruit trees like this, after all, rare things are expensive, and if there are too many fruits with auspicious meanings, they will not be able to sell for a good price.
"After all, my ultimate goal is to make money, so I feel like there's enough of it. There is no need to make any more extraneous branches. ”
Su Heting looked around, "But anyone can come to your fruit forest, aren't you afraid that others will follow suit?" ”
"They can learn if they want to!" Yuan Ning waved his hand, not caring, "Originally, I wasn't going to hang myself on a tree, they can learn if they want to, no matter what they do, they are one step behind." ”
Su Heting tilted his head, "You're open-minded." ”
"What's the best way to be open-minded?" Yuan Ning spread his hands, "You see that my fruit forest is so big, I can't patrol day and night, right?" Even if I'm willing to patrol day and night, how many people can I block with thin arms and legs?
"Just let them look at it generously! Peach, three apricots, four pears for five years, even if they learn my method, it doesn't take time to serve the fruit trees? When their fruit trees are ready, such fruits on the market are not uncommon! ”
"Oh?" Su Heting looked at her with interest, "You had other ways to make money at that time?" ”
Yuan Ning rolled his eyes, "Didn't I tell you before, my ultimate goal is to do weaving and dyeing?" Growing fruit trees is nothing more than a side hustle.
"At present, I am not satisfied with these kinds of fruit trees, and I will try to do a grafting in the future, if it is successful, then dare to be good, if it is not successful, I can make a few dollars, and even if I have a lot of money in the future, I can also outsource it to the village people who have a good relationship."
Su Heting asked her about the specific plan, but she refused to say, "This plan is all here!" She raised her hand and pointed to her head, "But don't say." ”
Su Heting laughed heartily, "Okay, if you don't say it, I won't ask." ”
The two of them were busy for a while, and there were already more than twenty bundles of firewood on the ground, and Yuan Ning asked curiously, "What does Su Gongzi do?" Why are you so idle all day long? Do you have spare time to chop wood for me? ”
"It's not very idle," Su Heting shook his head, "But it's just okay for the past two days." If a person is busy all the time, it is like a tight bowstring, which will break sooner or later. Therefore, the sage said that the way of civil and military affairs is one by one. I'm busy for a while, and I'm going to have to take a break from my busy schedule. ”
"Hehe," Yuan Ning tugged at the corners of his lips, "Your old man's way of leisure is different." ”
"I can only say that I have a unique vision," Su Heting did not mock in Yuan Ning's words, "If it weren't for the contact with Miss Zhu, how could I find such a way to make money?" What's more, I think Su was inspired a lot by talking to Miss Zhu. ”
"Ouch," Yuan Ning winked playfully, "Then I have to thank Master Su for the compliment." ”
Suddenly, there was a partridge cry in his ears, and Su Heting pinned his sickle to his waist, "Okay, the things that need to be done today have been done, and I want to go back." The next time Miss Zhu goes to the shop again, perhaps, the people who should be invited are already in place. ”
After that, he turned around and left, and his steps were not necessarily big, but he quickly disappeared into the orchard.
