Chapter 672: Buying Navel Orange Seedlings

When Gao Mingcheng left his eldest brother-in-law's house, there were two more baskets of vegetables in the car, both of which were picked by the eldest brother-in-law from the ground, including gourds, corn, loofahs and red cowpeas.

Because the eldest brother-in-law is too sincere, Gao Mingcheng is a little embarrassed, in terms of value, these things are indeed not very valuable, but farmers are also very hard to grow vegetables, to plough the ground, sow seeds, cultivate soil, build shelves, hoe grass and water and fertilize, after a series of manual management, can there be a harvest.

Before leaving, Gao Mingcheng took another boar's head from the car and got down.

He also gave the wild boar's head to his eldest brother-in-law's house, this wild boar's head is still hairy, and he originally wanted to bring it back to the county to eat it himself, but now he simply gave it away.

"Auntie, goodbye, brother-in-law!" The two little nephews stood on the side of the road, enthusiastically waving goodbye to Gao Mingcheng and many beauties, and watched them leave.

As the car slowly drove away from Shangfeng Village, the two little children hurried home, staring at a lot of gold and begging for another piece of candy.

It's a pity that the candy snacks and malt milk essence are all locked in the cupboard!

A lot of gold was burning the fire, ready to burn the hair on the pig's head and feet, and when she heard her two sons say that they wanted to eat candy, she ruthlessly refused: "No, you have already eaten a piece today!" Eat the rest later! Boss, go and bring me half a bucket of water; Second, you go to the house and watch your brother! ”

Not only did the two sons not get anything to eat, but they were also arranged to do a lot of things.

But they weren't angry, because there must be meat to eat at night!

Children's happiness is as simple as that!

Many Jin families have meat to eat, and Gao Mingcheng's family naturally also has meat to eat.

When he returned to the county, he first put most of the pork and vegetables in the kindergarten for preservation, and then sent two catties of meat and a pig's feet to Grandma Xi's family.

Gao Zhuang learned that Gao Mingcheng and the others had returned to the village today, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Mingcheng, take me with you next time you go back to Gaojia Village!" There are also vegetables planted in the field, and I want to go back and see it. ”

Gao Mingcheng went back to the village this time, he really didn't think of taking Gao Zhuang back with him, but since Gao Zhuang said so, he naturally agreed.

Gao Mingcheng said: "Next time I go back, it should be my dad who has done the house wine, and you will also go to dinner together at that time." ”

"Okay!" Gao Zhuang smiled and agreed.

The whole village of Gaojia Village is related to each other, and Gao Zhuang is also in the same vein as the upper house, so it is also appropriate to go to have a meal with a gift.

When he returned to the clothing store, Gao Mingcheng told Gao Mingli and Gao Shufang about it again.

When they heard that the house had been built, they were both very happy, and although they would definitely live in the prefecture in the future, it was still very happy to have a room of their own in the village.

Gao Shufang was more careful, and had already begun to plan what to buy to decorate the new house.

The rooms in the village were made of wooden beds and wooden cabinets, but apart from that, there was nothing left, only the old quilts and old clothes they used before.

Those things have been used for many years. Warmth and style, needless to say, the point is, they definitely don't match the new house!

Gotta buy, gotta get a new one!

Gao Shufang pulled Zhang Jinling, and the two began to discuss what to buy, where to buy it, and so on.

Many beauties don't have this trouble, because she and Gao Mingcheng have long been separated, and when Gao Yuanjian built the house, although Gao Mingcheng contributed a sum of money, the room was not Gao Mingcheng's.

The money was purely to help his parents.

This night, everyone ate stewed pig's feet and fried meat with chili peppers, and Xiao Xuxu also ate pork belly soup bibimbap, which tasted very delicious.

However, Gao Mingcheng's favorite dish is the fried September red pepper. This old variety of red cowpea is really good to eat.

A pleasant weekend flies by, and the next day is a new week.

The teachers and students of the kindergarten, after a week of running-in, the second week is very good, and now all the children will no longer cry their noses to find their parents, one by one in the kindergarten to eat well, play well.

There are two freezers and a refrigerator in the kindergarten, and there is no need to put so many dishes, but Gao Mingcheng did not cut off the power, but used one of the freezers to put popsicles, and the popsicles were made by themselves, and a popsicle was sent to the children every day to ensure that the children smiled.

After the kindergarten got on the right track, Gao Mingcheng was ready to find time to go to Gannan because he was going to buy a batch of navel orange seedlings.

Nowadays, Gannan navel oranges are very famous, but they are mainly exported, not sold in China, it is estimated that the vast majority of people in China have never eaten navel oranges.

However, as the production increases, there are more navel oranges on the market.

Navel oranges taste good and are easier to preserve than oranges, so Gao Mingcheng plans to plant hundreds of trees.

The farthest hillside of Kotoyama from my home is still empty, and when I first planted fruit trees, I arranged the planting area according to the growth habits of the seedlings, and also planted them from near to far.

The location far from home is naturally more difficult to take care of.

The land had been deserted for two years, and now it was overgrown with weeds.

However, after Gao Mingcheng was ready to plant navel oranges, he asked Chen Dasong to call a few people from the village to go to the mountains to clean up the land during the slack time.

Some of the bushes that grow behind it naturally have to be uprooted, and then a pit is dug at intervals and filled with fertilizer.

In the evening of that day, Gao Mingcheng looked at the map he bought, pondered which way to go, and then told Duo Mei about his preparation to go out.

Many beauties heard that Gao Mingcheng was preparing to plant navel oranges, and they also agreed.

She has bought navel oranges to eat, but the price is very expensive, and the best navel oranges in southern Gannan have already been shipped to Xiangjiang to sell, and people on their side can't buy good ones if they want to!

So if you want to eat delicious navel oranges, you still have to grow them yourself!

Gao Mingcheng said: "I plan to drive over early tomorrow morning, if it goes well, I will be able to come back in the afternoon after tomorrow, and then I will go back to Gaojia Village directly, and I will not come here." ”

Many beauties said very understandingly: "The seedlings you bought should have been planted early." Mingcheng, when the time comes, you invite a few more people to plant all the fruit seedlings before dark. ”

Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "This is nature!" The pit has been dug in advance, and as soon as the seedlings arrive, they can be buried in the soil and planted, and then watered. Hurry up and plant it before my dad has done the house wine, and when the house wine is finished, the people in the village will have to go to the fields to do farm work, afraid that they will not be able to do things for me. ”

In this regard, Gao Mingcheng knows more than many beauties, and arranges more beautifully, so she did not point fingers, only expressed that she would support Gao Mingcheng in all decisions, and when Gao Mingcheng went out to do errands, she took care of the clothing store and kindergarten.

Now that Xiao Xuxu stays in kindergarten all day, Duomei is a lot more relaxed and can free up more energy to do things.

For example, on this day, Xiao Xuxu wants to stay in the kindergarten and sleep with Xiao Yuanyuan, Gao Mingcheng...... Gao Mingcheng must have agreed, so that night, there was no small light bulb to disturb, enough for Gao Mingcheng to play to his heart's content!

Early the next morning, Gao Mingcheng went out in good spirits, and on the messy big bed, only the exhausted Duomei was still asleep.

Gao Mingcheng only plans to buy 100 navel orange seedlings, so there is no need to rent a truck, driving his own double-row light truck, it is enough.

First go to the gas station to fill up the fuel tank, and Gao Mingcheng drove towards Gannan.

Going out on the road alone, Gao Mingcheng has a kind of comfortable ride, the weather in mid-September, although it is still a little hot, but in the morning and evening in the village, there is already a slight coolness.

There are two time periods for planting navel oranges, one is naturally spring, in February, as the temperature gradually rises, you can plant fruit seedlings, at this time due to the increase in precipitation, there is no need for manual watering, and the survival rate is also good.

But Gao Mingcheng can choose to plant in September, at this time the temperature has not become cold, planted in September, after taking root and surviving in October, you can spend the winter peacefully.

The only downside is that there is plenty of moisture in the soil!

Due to the topography, there is not a single stream in the entire Xiaofu Mountain!

Although there are no streams, there is a lot of water in the soil, and in the process of natural growth without a contract, except for the drought years, the vegetation in the mountains has always been lush and green, and the growth is excellent, and there are ditches flowing through the foothills, so it is not too difficult to get water.

Gao Mingcheng plans to continue to hire people to water the navel oranges once a day for several days until the navel oranges take root.

He went all the way to Gannan, the closer he got to Gannan, the more different the geography and landforms, and the barren Gaojia Village is different, there are big rivers here, and the resources and scenery here are better than Gaojia Village!

Gannan is located in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River, the southern part of Jiangxi, and in ancient times, it was more famous. But Gao Mingcheng, a half-hung tomb robber in his previous life, when he stepped into this city, the first thought in his mind was that there were many ancient tombs here!

Yes, there are a lot of tombs, but most of them are worthless, at least for tomb robbers.

Because there are many village ruins of the Baiyue ethnic group in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, a large number of pottery shards and stone tools have been unearthed, and complete pottery pots, pottery pots, pottery cooks, pottery spinning wheels, etc. have been unearthed.

These are of course of great historical value, but unfortunately, for ordinary tomb robbers, they are worthless things.

Gao Mingcheng still remembers hearing a tomb robber complain, saying that he worked hard to step on the point and dig the grave, and as a result, he caught a pile of broken pottery!

Gao Mingcheng thought of this and couldn't help laughing, when passing through a town, Gao Mingcheng got out of the car to buy a pack of cigarettes, and then asked the boss about buying navel orange seedlings.

Soon, Gao Mingcheng learned that the place where he could buy navel orange seedlings was still an hour away.

After the boss pointed the way, Gao Mingcheng thanked him and continued to drive.

In the co-pilot's seat, there are already several packs of cigarettes, all of which he bought when he got out of the car to ask for directions, and when he met a store, he bought cigarettes and asked for directions, and if he didn't meet a store, then he took cigarettes to ask for directions, in short, when he was out of the house, cigarettes were hard currency!

After another hour of driving, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Mingcheng finally found a place.

After arriving at the place, Gao Mingcheng first found a restaurant in the town to eat, and the taste of the food here was similar to that of Gaojia Village, so Gao Mingcheng was very accustomed to eating.

It is said that it is a navel orange in southern Gansu, but in fact, navel orange is not a native fruit tree, but the first hybrid variety bred in the beautiful country, which only landed in Xinfeng County in the 70s and gradually spread in nearby counties and cities.

Because of the high price of navel oranges, most counties and cities in southern Gannan have already planted navel oranges, and even squeezed out the living space of the peaches, nai plums, and sanhua plums planted before.

In the 90s, people in other places gradually saw that planting navel oranges could make a lot of money, so they came here to purchase fruit seedlings.

But most of those people come in early spring to buy fruit seedlings.

It can be said that there are very few fruit seedlings like Gao Mingcheng who purchase fruit seedlings in September.

But Gao Mingcheng's luck is good, the owner of a restaurant in the town planted navel oranges at home and did a fruit seedling business.

The boss saw that Gao Mingcheng ordered a lot of good dishes and asked for wine, and he came by car, knowing that he had some family background, so he was willing to do this business.

The boss's surname is Liang, and Boss Liang said with a smile: "Boss Gao, you have found the right person, you eat first, and after eating, I will take you to the village to see the fruit seedlings!" My fruit seedlings are the best in these ten miles and eight towns! ”

This last sentence, nine times out of ten, is boastful and negligible, but Gao Mingcheng still promised to take a look first.

He ate quickly, but he didn't drink the wine he ordered, but stayed in the restaurant, saying that he would drink with Boss Liang in the evening.

Boss Liang knew that he was going to eat in his own store at night, so he naturally agreed happily, and even said that he would let Gao Mingcheng live in his own house at night, and give Gao Mingcheng a cheaper room rate.

It's not easy to find a restaurant, let alone a hotel, in a town like this, and if you want to stay overnight, you'll have to stay in a local's home.

"Okay." Gao Mingcheng agreed, and under the guidance of Boss Liang, he drove for half an hour and arrived at a village.

This village is full of small hills, there are no big mountains, and every hill is basically full of navel oranges!

In the 90s, navel oranges were very expensive! After being exported to Xiangjiang, the high price can make people in the mainland staggering, even the secondary fruits that are sold in nearby cities are much more expensive than fruits such as apples and grapes!

However, there is a saying that in the nineties, navel oranges could be sold for more than three yuan and a catty, but thirty years later, navel oranges can still be sold for more than three yuan and a catty!

This seems to be the same price for 30 years, but it also shows that after 30 years, navel oranges are no longer the darlings of the market, and at that time, more newer varieties have come out.

However, Gao Mingcheng feels that there is still a lot to be done in planting navel oranges now. Not to mention the high price of navel oranges, even if they are resistant to storage and transportation, they are also worth planting.

If the navel oranges are preserved, they can still be eaten in May of the following year.

And now planting navel orange fruit trees, as long as there is no disease in the future, after growing into a big tree in 30 years, the yield can be as high as 1,000 catties!

Of course, there were two major diseases of navel oranges in later generations, one was huanglongbing disease and the other was recession disease.

If the navel orange has these two diseases, it will be incurable, so quickly cut it down and replant it! (End of chapter)
