Chapter 133 Buying Fruit Seedlings

It could have been said that Wei Jingze had little to do with children's education, because Wei Jingze had no children himself.It’s just that Wei Jingze felt that childhood education and life experience are very important to a person from his own experience and the many people he saw. Moreover, Wei Jingze himself likes children, so it is inevitable that he will be concerned about this kind of thing. Be careful.

On the other hand, Wei Jingze, as the deputy village chief, was obliged to find a way to solve the village's affairs.

Pan Qiuyang had accidentally worshiped the right temple gate, and Wei Jingze was really helping him find a way.

But what Wei Jingze has to do right now is to take over the Mavericks.More than 20 of his calves had arrived by this time.After Wei Jingze checked the cows one by one, he found that the cows were still very healthy, but winter is tough for any animal, so Wei Jingze needs to spend more energy on the calves to ensure that they can survive safely winter.

Therefore, Wei Jingze had a hard time thinking about the rations for the cattle. In addition to rice straw, he also bought some leftover bean dregs and soy milk from Pan Wang's house for the cattle to eat and drink.

The cowshed is relatively large, but now there are only twenty calves, so it looks a bit empty, but when he sees the calves eating straw with a strong appetite, his heart is full of hope. It will grow to hundreds, thousands of heads!

Wei Jingze was busy taking care of the Mavericks, and hoped that the Mavericks could adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, so that he would have no time to worry about the house decoration. Jiang Yanzong took the initiative to take care of this matter and helped Wei Jingze with the decoration. Dealing with the engineering team, purchasing decoration materials and furniture, etc., did share a lot of pressure for Wei Jingze.

The decoration does not need to be designed separately. The original architect contracted the overall design. A series of daily necessities such as the house's sewage, water, electricity and gas are all scientifically designed. The old man is also very satisfied with this. Whether it looks good or not is the second time What is needed is to be easy to use. For example, there are so many toilets in the whole house, and the final sewage pipes are all connected to the biogas digester, which can save a lot of trouble.

Wei Jingze was so busy that he didn't even spend as much time with Jiang Yanzong as he used to. So he decided to wait until the new year was over before recruiting workers. Now he took care of the cows himself. During the Chinese New Year, no one can be recruited, and the other is that the calves are handed over to others. Wei Jingze himself is not at ease, so he simply takes care of the calves through this period of time, and after the calves get used to it, handing over to others Take it easy.

Under Wei Jingze's careful care, the calves have indeed adapted to the new environment and new feed smoothly, and rarely have diarrhea or the like.It's just that Wei Jingze's hardest job every day is shoveling cow dung.

Cow dung is also a good fodder. When chemical fertilizers were not abused to the extent that they are today, rural people valued agricultural manure very much. They would even pick up a piece of cow dung on the road. For rural people, that is baby.

On this day, Wei Jingze had been busy for a whole day, adding enough fodder and water to the calves before returning home.

After taking a shower and lying comfortably on the bed, Jiang Yanzong came over with some materials: "Here! This is the most important thing this month!"

Wei Jingze stretched out his head and saw that it turned out to be the number and year of various fruit tree seedlings planned to be planted, as well as the price list.

"You go to contact these vendors, talk about the price, and buy the fruit tree back! Anyway, you want to buy me the variety I specified, and you can't just buy it randomly, you know?"

Wei Jingze took a look. There are seven or eight kinds of fruit trees, such as sweet oranges and ghost oranges produced locally. There are also other fruits such as loquats, grapes, cherries, etc. The planting areas are also different. For example, there are fewer cherries.

So Wei Jingze asked: "Don't you like eating cherries? Why do you only grow so few?"

Jiang Yanzong said: "I have inquired with Shan Zeyuan. If cherries are grown locally, the preservation and transportation of cherries are a big problem. The freshness period of cherries is only about one day. If they cannot be sold within one day, there will be many cherries. It sucks. After thinking about it, I decided to reduce the planting area. Isn’t ten acres enough for us to eat? If others want it, it’s okay. We can pick it ourselves, and we won’t sell it to the outside world anyway.”

The cherries grown in this area are indeed different from American cherries and Shandong cherries. They are small and crystal clear, almost translucent, with a sweet and sour taste. They are very popular fruits in early summer. , but the price is not cheap, so many orchards are in the form of farmhouse entertainment, and some do direct sales, that is, they can pick as much as the people around them order, so as not to rot and waste if no one wants it.

Wei Jingze thought for a while, and felt that what Jiang Yanzong said was very reasonable, more than ten acres was indeed enough to feed his family and friends.If Jiang Yanzong's friends want to eat, it's fine to come by themselves. Anyway, for them, it's just a matter of going out.

"It feels like you want to develop farmhouse entertainment!" Wei Jingze said with a smile.

Jiang Yanzong shook his head: "When we grow fruits, we sell them seriously. Let's forget about the farmhouse and so on. Many people come here, like locusts. They buy them, but they waste a lot. It's a waste."

This is indeed the case, because unprofessional farmers are doing some field work and picking, which will ruin a lot of crops. They played for a while and left, but it has no effect. I can't get it back either.

What surprised Wei Jingze was that Jiang Yanzong actually talked about saving money. A person who has never done farm work is not because others instilled in him a concept of saving money, but because of his own personal experience, which is very rare. up.

Wei Jingze couldn't help but hugged Jiang Yanzong for a kiss. Jiang Yanzong was not squeamish at all, and he adapted to life in the countryside.But Wei Jingze wanted to give him better things, hoped that he could live the life he wanted, without so many things to worry about.

In addition, other fruits are mostly tens of acres of land. The overall area of ​​this mountain is several hundred acres. Except for the shady side which is dominated by orange fruits, several kinds of fruits are planted on the sunny side, and some wild fruit trees are also grown. It needs to take up some growing space, so each fruit can be allocated dozens of acres of land, which is already very good.

The distribution of fruit trees was suggested by Shan Zeyuan and his colleagues. The planting of orchards was planned according to factors such as the distribution of sunlight in different areas of the mountain in different seasons, the availability of rainwater, and water sources.Even if it is the sunny side of a mountain, it can be divided into situations where there is more sunlight in the morning and more sunlight in the afternoon. Planting is scientifically and rationally arranged according to natural conditions to obtain high yields as much as possible.

Wei Jingze listened to Jiang Yanzong's explanation and nodded frequently. There are some things that farmers know to do, but they don't know why, but these people who specialize in research can explain the truth clearly. Smart people can use the same scientific laws in other situations to achieve the purpose of inferring other cases from one instance.

"We owe him another favor." Wei Jingze said.

Jiang Yanzong didn't worry about this at all: "There is always a way to repay the debt of favor. When our orchard is finished in the future, if you invite someone to bring your family to play for a few days, won't this favor be easily repaid?"

Shan Zeyuan is very fond of his major, and he should be very happy to live in Chashui Village, because there are many things in Chashui Village that he can't study.

Wei Jingze nodded, anyway, Jiang Yanzong is much more professional than him in this kind of sophistication, "But let's pack up some things and send them over, as it happens that Chinese New Year is almost here, and it's time to send chickens and ducks. "

Of course Jiang Yanzong had no objection.

So besides taking care of the calf, Wei Jingze has one more thing to do every day, which is to order various fruit tree seedlings, which will be planted during January and February.

The old man is also busy with one thing, which is making bacon.

Many people in the imperial capital have ordered bacon for the Chinese New Year, so the old man started making arrangements.

Several pigs in the pigsty were killed, and after they were chopped into pieces, the old man first salted the meat, dried it outside, and then hung it in a corner of the house. Pile sawdust, chaff, grains and the like into a fire, keep the fire unidentified, and keep it in a state of smoking, so that after more than a month of smoking, it can be smoked into bacon.

The old man also knows that those people in the imperial capital are particular, so when making bacon, they pay more attention than usual.

Master Yingqi was also helping the old man with his work, expressing his opinions on everything from the amount of salt to the things used for bacon, but it was up to the old man whether he would listen or not.

What's more, Master Yingqi also developed a new market for Wei Jingze—his former brothers all like the things in Chashui Village now, and they have dealt with food ingredients all their lives. These people are very clear about what is good. of.But Wei Jingze felt tired, the speed of consumption couldn't keep up with the speed of production, and he was tired from being urged every day!

So, when the first batch of chicks had grown up in the brooding room for a month, Wei Jingze asked Liang Cong to let them out. First, he put a fence around the yard to let the chicks get used to the outdoor environment, and then let them out. The area of ​​activity is relaxed.

Liang Cong already understood what the chicken coop was for. The more proficient Liang Cong was, the more at ease Wei Jingze would be, and the less he would worry about it.

The growth of the first batch of chicks was relatively smooth, and Wei Jingze was going to incubate the second batch of chicks, maintaining the scale of several hundred chickens, some of which could not meet everyone's needs.Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the imperial capital asks for more, and the customer base of pregnant women is also expanding through word of mouth, and expectant mothers continue to join.After giving birth, novice mothers will not give up buying products in Chashui Village, because they all buy from Wei Jingze for postpartum recovery, breastfeeding, baby food supplements, and baby food. If you are tired, just send an email or send a text message to order. If you answer the phone, you will spend a whole day answering the phone.
