The fairy of space also farms

The next day, Xu Ning contacted the Agricultural Machinery Factory, ordered a large potato harvester, and bought a large baler under the recommendation of the other party. To harvest pasture, which saves time and effort.The two machines cost more than 20 yuan in total. Xu Ning didn't think it was expensive, but thought it was pretty good.

Because the items were expensive, Xu Ning and Xun Xu personally went to Province H to pick up the goods and pay the money, and rented a large truck to transport the two machines back.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "Look, you still need a big truck, otherwise how can you move these big guys out."

Xun Xu said: "Where are you going to get it? From now on, you will wander around this back mountain. When not in use, you will drive it directly to the warehouse and lock it." In order to store these two large machines, they built them next to the sheepfold. a warehouse.

Xu Ning scratched his head: "That's right, you won't have to move it in the future, and no one will come to rent our machine." Even if someone wants to rent it, he doesn't intend to make that money.

The fruits on the mountain behind Xu Ning's house are starting to ripen.The first to ripen is the loquat. Loquat is a fruit that blooms early and grows slowly. Because it has the effect of moistening the lungs and clearing away heat, reducing phlegm and relieving cough, the price has not been cheap.

It was their swallow who first discovered that the loquat was ripe.These two nests of swallows wandered around the back mountain every day, catching insects and eating them.Because last year calling other birds to help catch insects turned into a matter of sabotage, this year the swallows did not dare to call other birds to catch insects on the mountain, mainly because the called swallow friends were helping.Generally speaking, there is a saying that swallows fly low and rain, but in the mountain behind Xu Ning's house, this is unbelievable, because swallows fly low every day, busy catching insects.

But in a place as wide as the back mountain, even if other birds are not invited, they will come uninvited, but they are not as well-behaved as the swallows.This morning, the swallows at home were chirping under the eaves, as if they were discussing something, Xunxu came back from delivering the food outside, stood and listened for a while, but didn't say anything.

After breakfast, Xun Xu asked Xu Ning to go to the loquat garden in the back mountain. The yellow loquats were sure to have signs of being pecked by birds, and they only picked the big ones.

Xun Xu put his hands on his hips: "The group of dead sparrows didn't eat the worms, but they came to eat the loquat."

Xu Ning looked at the loquats: "How do you know the sparrows ate them?"

"Swallow said so. This loquat is ripe, so I have to pick it quickly. If you don't pick it, you will be harmed by those sparrows." Xun Xu picked a loquat casually, peeled off the skin, and took a bite, "Well, it's ripe, good Eat, you have a taste." He said and handed the rest to Xu Ning.

There was no one around, so Xu Ning took it, peeled off the skin, and ate the rest: "It tastes really good, sweeter than the loquats I used to eat."

Xun Xu squinted at him: "Of course, it doesn't matter how it was planted."

The loquat fruit has a very long cycle from fruiting to maturity, but once it is ripe, it is not easy to preserve and is very easy to spoil, so it must be picked in the shortest possible time.

The yield of loquat trees is very high. The yield of a single mature fruit tree can reach as high as [-] kilograms. If [-] to [-] trees are planted per mu, the yield per mu can reach as high as [-] to [-] kilograms.Xu Ning planted [-] loquat trees. This is the first year that they bear fruit, and the yield is not high, but each tree still has [-] to [-] catties of fruit.

With so many fruits, picking them alone would definitely be too busy, so Xu Ning turned his attention to the tourists who came to pick strawberries.Xu Ning released the news that his family picked loquats for a fee, and for each loquat tree he picked, he would give a catty of loquats to eat as he pleased.Xu Ning is not only limited to tourists to pick them, but villagers can also give loquats and eat them for free.

As soon as the news was released, it immediately aroused the strong interest of many tourists. Picking fruit is free to eat, and there is a gift, which is more cost-effective than picking strawberries, so many people come here.Generally, the family is the unit. If you pick a tree, you can get a catty of loquats, which is a good deal.So in less than a day, all the loquats in Xu Ning's family were picked.

Everyone was still full of ideas: "Boss Xu, when your peaches and plums are ripe, please ask us to help."

Xu Ning laughed: "Of course, remember to come here." The specific ripening time of the peaches has not yet been determined. If these people want to come to pick peaches, they have to go here every weekend. This is actually a kind of business opportunity. .

After picking the loquats and receiving their wages, people bought a lot of loquats to go back.The loquats from Xu Ning's family are delicious, hurry up and buy some near the water tower, the next time you want to eat it, it will be next year.

This season is the peak season for loquat production, and the retail price is seven or eight yuan per catty. Xu Ning's loquats are better than others, and they sell for ten yuan per catty, and many people still buy them.

A total of more than 3000 catties of loquats were collected. After deducting the wages and what people bought, there were still more than 2000 catties left.Xu Ning sent a thousand catties to Chen Fu and Liu Gang respectively, and they also wholesaled them at the price of ten yuan per catty, and then pulled a few hundred catties to sell in their own stores.The rest were given away as favors, and I picked out a beautiful one and sent some to Beijing.There is no loquat in the north. Although the transportation is developed these days, it is easy to buy, but there is no way to grow it yourself.Especially this food is good for the elderly, so Xu Ning specially sent some more to Ge Ying.

Ge Ying was really happy after receiving the loquat, and called: "Xu Ning, you are becoming more and more like a sister, like a close-fitting little padded jacket. We don't know what blessing we have cultivated, and we have found such a good wife like you." .”

Xu Ning laughed, his old face flushed: "I'll send some cherries to my sister when the cherries are ripe."

"Okay, thank you in advance."

After harvesting the loquats, Xu Ning's watermelons were also ripe.Xu Ning knows that fruit is either sooner or later, so that the price can be sold.Based on last year's experience, the watermelons at home were planted a few days earlier than last year. Fortunately, the weather was good and there was not too much rain to waterlog the seedlings, and they grew well.The resulting watermelons are big and sweet, and they are rounded by Chen Fu as soon as they are ripe.

Ever since he lost the opportunity to buy peaches last time, Chen Fu knew that Xu Ning has now developed a customer in the provincial capital, and the price there is high. If he doesn't seize the opportunity, he will lose a lot, so this time In any case, you can no longer take advantage of the other party.Xu Ning is also happy and at ease, now that he doesn't have to worry about selling his family's things, and everything he grows can be sold anywhere, and he is more confident.Xu Ning earned another 20 yuan from watermelons on five acres of land.

Come June, the peaches are ripe.Xu Ning’s peaches are very common peaches. They are not as big as space peaches, and the taste is slightly inferior, but compared with the peaches on the market, they are much better. They are crunchy, sweet, juicy, fragrant and attractive. .It has just been ripe, and those tourists who have picked loquats are thinking about it, and they are always looking forward to picking peaches.

So Xu Ning picked a weekend and asked everyone to come over to continue the activity of picking peaches and giving them away.Tourists come to their house to pick peaches, and according to the number of peaches they pick, they will be given a commission. If they pick one hundred catties of peaches, they will be given five catties of peaches, and they can eat them for free until they are full. The only requirement is not to waste them.

Picking peaches is more cost-effective than picking loquats. Picking thirty or forty catties of loquats will give you one catty, and you can get five catties for one hundred catties of peaches, and you can eat them for free. Everyone is very enthusiastic, and they even invite friends. Come.So on Saturday, Xu Ning's orchard was full of people who came to pick peaches.The villagers are not in a hurry. There are only so many fruit trees in Xu Ning's house, and they will be picked in a day or two. Those people will have to go back to pick strawberries in the future. Besides, Xu Ning has no restrictions. Tourists can pick strawberries, and so can villagers. to pick.

Xu Ning also did a good job in this free event. Everyone picked fruit for him. Although he was paid, it was not much.The big guys still have to eat at the villagers' homes at noon, and there are also many new guests. Everyone knows that they have delicious and interesting things here, so we must not come here often in the future.

Xu Ning also took the opportunity to publicize it to everyone, saying that there will be a bonfire party for roasting whole sheep on November 100. At that time, each person can come to his house to participate in the roasting whole sheep event for [-] yuan, and eat and drink.Many people have eaten Xu Ning's mutton, so they are very much looking forward to this roasted whole lamb feast, and have started planning a long time ago.

At the end of the day, Xu Ning's family has basically finished picking peaches, and there are still several trees left for tourists to buy peaches in the future.One hundred peach trees picked a total of more than 4000 catties of peaches. Compared with the output of the space, it was too little. Xu Ning sent 1000 catties to Chen Fu, and Liu Gang also gave [-] catties. Five hundred catties, and the remaining more than [-] catties are given away to others, tourists are sold to tourists, and the rest are sold in fresh food stores.The price of peaches is not cheap now, they can be sold for five or six yuan a catty. Although they are expensive, people who buy them are not ambiguous.

When the peaches are picked, they should be plums. Xu Ning doesn't like plums very much, and thinks the taste is too sour, so he planted few plum trees, only fifty plum trees.But the plum tree bears the most fruit among all the fruit trees this year. It can be seen when it blooms, and the branches are covered with white plum flowers.Xu Ning and Xun Xu had to find branches to support the branches, otherwise they would be broken.

Even though he saw that the plums were ripe, Xu Ning didn't want to pick one to taste. One day, Xun Xu picked one casually, wiped it on his body, and took a bite: "It's ripe, it's delicious, would you like it?" Taste it?" He said and handed over the plum he took a bite of.

Xu Ning avoided his hand and reached out to pick one up: "You can't divide pears and plums, don't you understand?"

Xun Xu put the rest of the plums into his mouth, puffed his cheeks and asked, "Why?"

"Harmonic Separation."

"Oh, that doesn't matter. Is it delicious?"

Xu Ning put some space in the water and washed it: "It's not bad, it's much more delicious than I imagined. Let's ask someone to pick it again tomorrow, we can't pick it ourselves."

"it is good."

Xun Xu ran to the other end to pick a bright red cherry: "The cherry is ripe too, so sweet!"

Wupi cherries will bear fruit this year, which is beyond Xu Ning's expectation. When he was a child, he often heard his mother sing "cherries are delicious, and trees are hard to grow". Knowing that cherries are very delicate and difficult to grow, he bought [-] cherry trees. , It didn't take much effort to take care of it, just like ordinary fruit trees.Put sheep manure on the bottom as base fertilizer, and pour some space water, and that's it.In the end, hey, it looks pretty good, and it started to bear fruit this year. The quantity is not much, and it can't be sold much. Xu Ning decided to keep it for himself to eat and give away.

Since you are not going to sell it, pick it yourself.Fortunately, the number of cherries that bear fruit is not large, and a tree can only pick three or four catties at most. They are very big. Although they can't keep up with big cherries, they are definitely bigger than ordinary Wupi cherries.Eighty trees, and a total of two to three hundred catties were picked. Xu Ning sent a few boxes to Beijing as usual, and distributed the rest to friends. This time, Chen Fu finally got it without spending money. The cherry of Xu Ning's family made this kid so happy and emotional that it was not easy, Xu Ning also thought of giving himself something.

Zhou Shusen insisted on keeping a box of cherries, saying that he wanted to send them to Guo Shanshan.In ten days or so, Guo Shanshan will be back. She loves to eat cherries, and she has already said that she would leave some cherries for her, but when she comes back, there will be only branches and leaves left of the cherries. Of course, this boyfriend Zhou Shusen must do his duty, Seeking benefits for girlfriends.

After picking the cherries, the college entrance examination is almost over. The group of boys who participated in the re-study last year came to Xu Ning's house before they got home. They have been thinking about the fruits and meals of Xu Ning's house for a long time.Those who came with these boys, as well as the new classmates they met when they were repeating their studies, were all persuaded by them, and there were a total of ten or so.

Xu Ning looked at those people: "It looks like you have lost weight, how is it, did you do well in the exam?"

Several people smiled confidently: "It shouldn't be difficult to get an undergraduate degree. I don't want to worry about that. Anyway, I am liberated now. Old Xu, we have to eat."

It was morning when they came, breakfast time had passed, and lunch time hadn't arrived yet, Xu Ning said: "The meal is not ready yet, go up to the back mountain to pick plums, and eat whatever you want."

The gang of boys each took a bamboo hat and a basket, and swarmed up the back mountain.These boys eat plums with their stomachs open. As the saying goes, "Peaches panic and plums are full". If you eat too many peaches, you will feel flustered, and if you eat too many plums, you will get full easily. This group of boys work after they are full, and their efficiency is quite good. .

Because of inflation, wages will naturally rise accordingly.Xu Ning’s salary for these students is 40 yuan a month, including food and lodging, 1000 yuan a day. These young people are very satisfied. It’s not easy to do summer jobs in a small place, so they can earn more than [-] yuan. One month of money, eating well and sleeping well, and a relaxed working environment, which is already very good.

A student asked: "Old Xu, when we came here just now, we saw a lot of strawberry fields on the side of the road. Where are your strawberries? Why didn't I see any of them just now?" Xu Ning's strawberries are quite impressive.

Xu Ning said: "It has been planted, and the field over there has not yet bloomed, so not much has been planted."

"You have set up a strawberry demonstration area here, why don't you plant them, your strawberries are definitely better than those grown by those people." The student said puzzledly that Xu Ning didn't seize such a good opportunity to make money.

Xu Ning said: "You don't understand this. I want to plant things that none of them have planted, so that everyone can benefit from each other and not conflict. I can't take all the good things. I want everyone to have money. opportunity, so that I can develop for a long time.”

The student thought for a while, and then gave a thumbs up: "Old Xu is indeed Lao Xu, Jiang is old and hot, I admire it."

Xu Ning laughed: "When you eat meat yourself, don't forget to give people soup, so that it is conducive to peaceful coexistence."

"Hey, I can't tell that Old Xu also understands thick black studies."

Xu Ning corrected him: "I'm not called Houhei, I'm called Houdao."
