Chapter 1104: Fruit Picking Season
The next day.
A gentle wind blows from the northeast.
Many forage harvesters start working early in the morning, and the wind is mixed with a strong smell of grass, which is stronger than ever.
The remaining stumps of about 10 centimetres tall will soon have new leaves again, and by September they will be able to harvest another crop, even before the snow falls.
It's no wonder alfalfa grass is called the "king of forage," and most pastures in northwestern Montana are now growing it, learning from snow-capped mountain pastures.
On the shores of Lake Rota, there are five more chicken coops made of wood.
They were busy until nightfall yesterday, and now there are hens, squatting in the hay coop, and crying "Cluck! ”
After Han Xuan got up, he came to the balcony of the attic.
As far as the eye can see, half is green and half is purple.
The green is the meadow, and the purple is a large lavender field.
Lavender is in full bloom this season, with a rich floral scent that is refreshing, and a deep purple color that makes people feel calm and comfortable.
Lying on the grass and rolling on the grass, surrounded by freshly cut bamboo, he was so happy that he would never get tired of eating it.
Mini donkey McDull, try to learn from the giant panda to eat bamboo leaves, take a bite and quickly spit it out, it doesn't like that taste, not as good as apples and bananas.
A heavy brown bear sits in a specially made oversized wooden basin.
Ava and Joanna were bathing it, and Winnie looked down and fiddled with the yellow rubber ducklings in the tub, like a big baby.
A couple of macaws were walking around on the lawn, and BBQ was on the head of a beige hairy cow that had just been tended and looked more cute than a doll.
Obama and the liger beast Xiaobai chased a colorful pheasant around, and the chicken ran well, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, its claws still hanging in the air and twitching.
The two guys sniffed at them, and then they got bored and let the colorful pheasant go.
It opened its eyes and saw the curtain quickly slip away.
It's very lively......
When Han Xuan went downstairs, breakfast had already been placed on the table.
The fried egg is topped with a small bowl of rice, and the soup plate can also see Cordyceps, which is stewed with the hen, and the soup is very white.
When eating, I didn't see my father, mother and old man, and found Gabriel standing outside the window, Han Xuan walked over with a bowl, knocked on the window with his fingers, opened the gap, and asked him, "Where are my parents?" ”
"I went to the orchard to pick fruit, and I was going to ask you to go with me in the morning, but you couldn't get up."
Looking at the time, I found that it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning.
I thought no wonder the sun was climbing so fast today, and said, "Go and prepare the car, and we'll go over and help ...... too."
The orchards of the Snow Mountain Ranch cover an area of 10,000 acres, which may not sound like a large number, but when you convert it to 40 million square meters, it will seem intimidating.
Before that, Montana had never had such a large orchard, and the number of employees recruited to take care of the orchard alone reached 1,500, which was impossible to manage without it.
They are different from pastures, the seeds can take root and sprout when they are sown, and it is still the busy season for orchard farming, and more than 100,000 dollars a day are paid out in wages alone.
Fortunately, the fruits of the Snow Mountain Ranch are also very expensive, which brought more than 13 million US dollars of net profit to Han Xuan's father last year, and the products are exported to various countries around the world along with the logistics channels of SOS Group.
This year, the trees are almost at the age of flowering and fruiting, which means that this year's production is even higher......
My own ranch is so big that I have to drive everywhere.
With the annexation of several nearby small ranches, it now has a total area of 220,000 acres, or 260,000 acres including the wasteland to the north.
Head north.
After a while, I came to the orchard planting area full of fruit trees.
It's the ripening season for cherries, blueberries, and cranberries, and the cherry trees on the roadside are full of red fruits.
If you want to pick them all by hand, it is estimated that they are hanging on the treetops and rotting, and they have not been picked yet.
How could the Yankees waste their precious lives on such a thing and make machines specifically for picking cherries and other fruits.
After clamping a section of the thick iron rod with a clamp-like thing to the trunk, the staff member stepped aside and shouted to the driver, "OK! ”
After starting the engine, the iron rod kept shaking, and even the cherry tree was shaking.
The fruit fell like raindrops on the tarpaulin laid on the ground, and it only took more than ten seconds for a tree to be picked.
Han Xuan got out of the car, and after the driver turned off the engine, he walked over and grabbed a handful of cherries on the tarpaulin, and said to Shen Yutong, "Bring a bottle of water to wash it for me." ”
Then he asked the employees, "Gentlemen, how is the orchard yielding this year?" ”
"Good morning, little boss.
The others don't know yet, but the cherry yield is pretty good.
Look at these big cherries, they are larger than the rest of the world, and they taste good.
I think when they hit the market, they will cause a frenzy of grabbing, and no other orchard can grow such amazing cherries......"
The cherries that fell from the trees were larger than the one-yuan coins in the renminbi.
The largest is the size of Yuan Datou's silver dollar, but this volume is rare, which is a cherry, and some people believe that it is a plum.
It is no wonder that the Chinese people call the locally produced cherries cherries, and the foreign ones are called cherries, and the volume cannot be compared at all.
The cherries in the United States and Canada are already very large, but the snowy mountain pastures are even bigger!
There were no pesticides, insecticides, etc., Han Xuan rinsed it with water, threw it and put it in the water, which was not only sweet, but also a little sour, and the taste was just right.
"It's delicious, you can get some of it."
After Han Xuan finished speaking to the bodyguards, he stepped on the oilcloth and picked up the largest of these cherries.
I opened my mouth and tried it, but I guess I couldn't stuff it in one bite, and I had to bite and eat it like a peach, which was terrifying.
"Keep picking, gentlemen."
I just saw a lot of transport companies coming, and I finished it while it was fresh.
Also, have you met my parents? ”
"You go west, you should be on the cranberry plantation, it's been watering since the day before yesterday, it should be almost ready to be fished, they're there."
Han Xuan was confused when he heard that person's words, and he didn't know what the relationship between cranberries and irrigation was.
When they came to the place they were talking about, a small pond appeared in sight.
Han Xuan stretched out his head to look over there, only to see dense red objects floating on the water, and when he got out of the car and approached, he found that they were all red berries.
I was immediately happy......
