Rebirth to the pastoral

Chapter 11 Hiring People

There are no electrical appliances at home, Cheng Xiaoran was thinking about whether to buy a TV, washing machine or something, but remembering the face of the second boss last night when he brought out the new clothes for Cheng's parents and Cheng's mother, he had to give up, these are still waiting for him Really make money and then buy it.

When he returned to the village, Cheng Xiaoran recruited people from the village through his village elder uncle. Don't even think about young and middle-aged people, there are really not two of them. There are very few people at the age of Cheng's father, and some of them are disabled or sick. They can only stay in the village and survive. Most of the rest of the people are over [-] and cannot do heavy work. In the end, apart from Cheng's father, mother, uncle and aunt, Cheng Xiaoran picked five old people. , are old-fashioned, the body is healthy, and the people are kind, so it is not a problem to cut the branches and leaves next time.

It is now the beginning of January. Generally speaking, the flowers and leaves of cherry trees can germinate in mid-February, but the climate in the mountains is relatively cold, and the flowering time is basically at the end of March and early April. I made a lot of plans out of the data, what is the ratio of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, how much organic fertilizer and inorganic fertilizer should be mixed together, how much water to add, how to stir, how deep to fertilize, how far from the root of the tree... everything It has to be measured.

He also discovered that many trees were actually suffering from some diseases. He made a series of lists, which kind of disease should be treated with which kind of potion, and prepared various potions himself, and asked people to sprinkle them on the trees. Anyway, it was very troublesome and special The professional appearance made the old people in these villages dizzy. They all said that they have never seen such a tree-serving person, which is more delicate than taking care of children.

This is of course a superficial effort for future success. Of course, Cheng Xiaoran did not mess around, and the fertilizer and potion he used are indeed suitable for the symptoms, but the most important thing must be his repair liquid.There is plenty of rain in Yinghua Village, and there are naturally many streams on Dazhou Mountain. He followed the stream and found the big pool at the source. The water on the mountain basically flows down from here. Originally, he wanted to pour the repair solution into this pool. , but after thinking about it, the whole Dazhou Mountain would benefit in this way, and it would be strange if everything grew well, so I went to the town and hired ten young and middle-aged men at one go, planning to dig several canals to lead the mountains and rivers to the cherry trees area, and then home repair fluid in these ditches.

This is a big project, everyone said it was a nonsense, it was laborious and costly (every young and middle-aged man was paid [-] a day, because it was not convenient to travel, and he had to be responsible for their food and lodging), and it was not a lack of rainwater. The time is urgent, but it is enough to carry the water. Anyway, there is no shortage of streams or pools nearby. Cheng Xiaoran still goes his own way. It looks like it will take five or six days to dig the canal. Before that, he planned a cherry forest by himself. , There are only about fifty plants, not only managed by him alone, but also let people build a wooden house next to them, bought a bunch of daily necessities, and he will live here from now on.

Grandpa Ninth and Father Cheng also wanted him to live on Dazhou Mountain. His belly was getting bigger day by day, and running back and forth was not a problem. It was hard work and easy to be seen as inappropriate. A four-meter-square and one-meter-deep pit draws a stream and fills it with water. Once it is full, a board can be used to divert the water.

Every time the water was full, he added a drop of repair solution to the puddle, and used the water to irrigate more than 50 cherry trees. After watering, he filled another pool of water and dripped the nutrient solution.

"Brother, you really treat these trees like your sons." Cheng Nuannuan brought him food, and accompanied Cheng Xiaoran to pour the prepared fertilizer water, looking at the green cherries that sprouted in just a few days Tree, said happily, "But your method will definitely work. Dad and the old people in the village say that the tree will definitely bear fruit this year, but it's a pity that it can't catch up with the Chinese New Year."

Cheng Xiaoran paused in his hand, looked up at the crown of the tree, and poured the diluted restoration solution for three days, these trees will bloom soon, but it will take more than a month for the fruit tree to mature after flowering and fruit setting, today is a day On the 20th of February, this year's Spring Festival is relatively late. It is February No. 50, so the time is really tight. He deliberately divided these more than [-] cherry trees to let them bear fruit in advance, go on the market first, and open up the market first. Spring Festival is undoubtedly a good time to advertise.

He thought for a while, took out the phone and called the boss who sells fertilizers. After the conversation, Cheng Xiaoran knew where to sell plastic film for greenhouses. The one-stop service has come, not only selling various films, tarpaulins, and shelves, but also having special personnel responsible for building greenhouses, but most farmers do it by themselves and are unwilling to spend the extra money.

Cheng Xiaoran talked about the shape of the shed he needed, and asked people from there to come together, and he will reimburse the travel expenses, the sooner the better.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Nuannuan opened her mouth and asked, "Brother, do you want to build a shed for this cherry tree?" These trees are all at least three or four meters high, and some are even taller.

"It's just that I have a few greenhouses in this area. The trees here are not very tall, only more than three meters." Cheng Xiaoran moved the chair over again, turned on the computer and went online. The forum, and got a few penguin accounts from the forum, and added a few groups. He is now shouting in the forum and the group where there is bumblebee for sale.

"What kind of bee is a bumblebee? Isn't it a bee?" Cheng Nuannuan asked curiously.

"Bumblebees only eat pollen and don't collect honey, so they are not so picky compared to bees, they go to pollen when they have pollen, they are not clustered, they are easy to collect honey evenly, and they can reproduce every year. Select pollination groups according to needs. In short, the benefits Quite a few, the pollination effect of bumblebees is better than that of honeybees."

"Brother, you know a lot."

"It's all the information I checked. Someone has done this research. Whether it's true or not, we have to try it ourselves." After waiting for a reply, Cheng Xiaoran put the food on the small table and started eating.Now he goes home every two days. A mountain stream is brought down not far behind their house. The water for eating and drinking will be collected in the water tank in advance, and it will settle for a day or two before use. If it is water for washing, it will be directly collected. In order to use it directly, he will add a little repair solution to the water tank when he returns home. powerful?

It has only been a few days since I took it for a few days, and the changes in my family have not shown, but it will definitely be good for the body after a long time. In the future, everyone will often eat the cherries nourished by the repairing liquid, and the body will get better and better.

Not long after eating, a reply came. The owner of an orchard said that he knew a beekeeper, and he could help bring in a few boxes of bumblebees if needed. Cheng Xiaoran saw that the orchard was not far away. There are more orchards than large-scale farming and landlords. This orchard is also in the mountains. The straight-line distance is hundreds of kilometers, but the road in the middle is not easy to walk. He waited, and the other replies were either unreliable or farther away. , I asked this person’s phone number, called and chatted, and said that he would go to see it in person in two days. The price is not a problem, but the bee must be a good bee.

In the afternoon, the small truck chugs into the mountain, and Cheng Xiaoran is already waiting at the entrance of the village. When the person got out of the car, he shouted in pain: "Brother, you are so biased, it's good to hear that you used a three-wheeled small truck The truck came in, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to drive in, and my ass was about to split from the bump.”

Cheng Xiaoran looked at the plastic tarpaulin on the truck body. The three-wheeled pickup truck was small, so they drove in two trucks, full of them, one truck with two people, Cheng Xiaoran asked Cheng Xiaojie to move some of the tarpaulin to the cart on their side ——Because they were too busy walking back and forth between the Dazhou Mountains in the village, including the foot of the Dazhou Mountains, and had to move goods, Cheng Xiaoran bought one of the three three-wheeled trucks that he rented the first day down.

Cheng Xiaoran said: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll pack a big red envelope for you when it's over. Let's ship it in now."

The arrival of the oilcloth caused another commotion. When we got to the place, the person in charge gave a thumbs up: "It's the first time I've seen such a tall tree built as a greenhouse."

Because it is not easy to enter the mountain, no shelf or anything is brought in, but there is nothing else in the mountain, and there is absolutely no shortage of trees. The short hill next to Dazhou Mountain and the entire hill are covered with lush green bamboo forests. It is quite easy to call it Zhushan.Cheng Xiaoran greeted the five people who dug the canal, plus four from the oilcloth side, and one Cheng Xiaojie, ten laborers rushed to the bamboo mountain to chop bamboo.

Because this greenhouse only needs to be maintained for about two months, and it does not need to be made too strong. The place is leeward, and the bamboos that everyone cuts are not too thick. They built a house, covered it with tarpaulin, and built five of them to form a shed with about ten trees.

Of course, these things are easy to say, but in fact, because it was too late on the first day, they didn't finish the part of chopping bamboo, and Cheng Xiaoran didn't let people go back at night, and stayed in the village with the five people who dug the canal.It is an exaggeration for Yinghua Village to say that there are ten rooms and nine empty houses, but there are definitely a lot of empty houses. Cheng Xiaoran always requisitions the poorest houses first, and if he gives some rent for one night, those old people will grin happily and their front teeth will fall out. mouth.

In order to provide food for these laborers, Cheng Xiaoran invited his mother and Aunt Cheng to come to Dazhou Mountain to cook. It was very fast to set up a stove. It's easy, the chicken and duck eggs are harvested in the village, the vegetables are picked in the field, and only the meat is bought by Cheng Xiaoran from the town, so it doesn't cost much to eat well.

Cherry Blossom Village hadn't been this lively for a long time. It wasn't until two days later that the canals were dug and the shed was done. After the outsiders left, they calmed down a little. I gave two hundred red envelopes, and the oilcloth foreman gave four hundred. It wasn't that he burned too much money, but that the place is too remote, and it's not easy to find people to do things in corners. It's rare for these people to work so hard. It is also easy to call again.

It's just that he is so generous that some people can't sit down anymore. An old man who was helping on Dazhou Mountain found him: "Little Er, do you still have work and need help? Your brother Fu is also out If you have strength, if you need someone, I will call him back, people in my own village are always more steadfast and dedicated than outsiders when doing things."
