To build an orchard, the first thing to determine is the land issue.

The land used as an orchard is preferably a mountain with a certain slope. Flat land is not conducive to drainage, and different slopes are suitable for planting different fruit trees.But the slope should not be too large, otherwise it will be too troublesome to go up and down the mountain.The reserve land of the orchard should be large to facilitate future expansion.The traffic should be convenient, and the road should be close, but it is easy to be stolen by the roadside.It should also be close to the water source, at least the water should be convenient.In short, the location of the orchard must be carefully treated.

Zhou Man asked Uncle Wu Dong for the mountain land they were allotted to. The mountain land in Guanjiang Village is usually divided across, and every family is guaranteed to have good land and bad land.Zhou Man looked at the strange names on the file, such as "Bajiaoping 150 Mu" and "Tiaoligou [-] Mu".Fortunately, a few years ago, Zhou Man and Ying Feichi traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Guanjiang Village in order to find out the local products of Guanjiang Village, and they are very familiar with the conditions of each piece of land.

Zhou Man discussed with Ying Feichi for a few days, checked the map several times, and finally chose the mountain behind the bamboo forest.First of all, the mountain is close to a relatively large ravine, and at the foot of the mountain there is another ditch that dries up seasonally. The ditch is filtered by heavy rocks and soil before it flows into the river in the village.When building water, you only need to build a ditch to spiral down the mountain, and you don't have to worry about water diversion and drainage.A small piece of flat land separates the north and east of the mountain from the road out of the village, and the east side faces the fork road leading to Chashanping.When transporting, it is enough to build a small road to enter the orchard.On the south side of the mountain, there is a bamboo forest across a small road, which leads to Maozhuping, which is Wu Dong's area.The slope of the mountain is not big, but a large mountain stretches to the north, and the forest rights are also owned by the Zhou family, so the back-up land is completely ok.Because it is close to the settlements, most of the trees growing in the mountains are used as firewood for the villagers to cook water and cook. The age of the trees is between one and four years, and they are not particularly tall. It is very simple to open up wasteland.

"This is it." Ying Feichi drew a circle on the backup map, enclosing the mountains. "All that remains is to see how large the orchard is, and after the scale is determined, we can start."

The size of an orchard is still determined by market demand. Now the question is, excavator technology... no, which one is better in market research technology?Look for Luo Rui in the souvenir shop.

"As for tropical fruits, this is the situation in L city and surrounding counties and towns this summer." Luo Rui said to the mirror, flipping through the documents in his hand. "According to the sales situation of several major wholesale markets and fruit markets in urban areas and counties, the rankings are ranked by sales volume, from high to low are watermelon, cantaloupe, longan, lychee, pineapple, grape, pearl awn, and pomegranate. The ranking is based on net profit. , from high to low are longan, pomegranate, watermelon, muskmelon, pineapple, lychee, pearl busy, grape. The sales volume and profit are approximately, watermelon..."

Luo Rui reported the approximate sales volume and profit of each fruit, and then said: "As for Kate Mango, Eagle's Beak Mango, Mangosteen, and Dragon Fruit, there are very few in the market at present, and we can't get the information from City n yet. So it’s impossible to predict the market.”

Zhou Man pondered for a moment when he heard the words, and asked, "What fruits are sold in City L all year round?"

Luo Rui flipped through the report in his hand, and replied: "Apple and Sydney are available all year round. In early spring, water chestnuts, grapefruits, oranges, tangerines, and sugar cane are still the main ones. In March, there will be red bayberries—big red bayberries." There are also small bayberries. From April to May, there are plums and peaches, and the majority of peaches are juicy peaches."

"Where are nectarines and hair peaches?" Zhou Man asked, "Are there still milk dates in early spring?"

"After the first lunar month, there are very few milk dates. Basically, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the milk dates on the market are all leftovers from winter sales. The appearance is not good, and the taste is not as crisp as winter ones, but the price will rise. Nectarines are not produced here, and there are almost none on the market. As for raw peaches, they are all regarded as wild peaches here, and they are basically not sold.”

Zhou Man nodded and signaled Luo Rui to continue.

"Grapes start to be available in early summer, and plantains start to be available from the end of April. The season of plantains is very long and can last until the end of October. Oranges are on the market. Pearl awns are available from May, but the peak season is June. Fresh pineapples and melons start to be available from the end of May. , Watermelons and grapes start to appear in June. Grapes are divided into two types: purple grapes and crystal grapes. July is the peak season for longan and lychees. During this time, there will also be local Tang pears, which are the yellow pears that are usually grown by our house. Brown-skinned pears. Tang pears are sold loosely, and they are rarely sold in large quantities, so we ignore them. Among these summer fruits, except pineapples that last until the end of May and lychees that last until the end of July, the rest can last until the end of July. Mid-August, which is around the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival, oranges with green skins and pomegranates began to appear on the market. They lasted until the end of September. From October to Chinese New Year, all kinds of oranges, mandarins and grapefruits were on the market. From December, there were water chestnuts, sugar cane, and milk dates. It will continue until February of the following year." Luo Rui said as he closed the file, "That's probably it."

"Hmm..." Zhou Man pondered.He does not want to compete with existing fruit growers and seize the market share of the same species, so it is better to develop new products.Zhou Man silently made a list of the fruit trees to be planted, and began to consider the area of ​​the orchard.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, it seems that we still have to take it step by step, starting from a small scale.Anyway, the road is better now, and there are trucks in the village, so the cost of transportation has been greatly reduced.

Zhou Man showed Ying Feichi a list of the types of fruit trees and the number of each type, and asked him about how much land he would need.After planting the fruit trees in the courtyard of the bamboo house, Yingfei Pond was already very experienced in this area. He quickly calculated the required area and drew a rough range on the map.

"Okay." Zhou Man kissed his forehead, "Let's prepare to open up wasteland."

It is easy for Ying Feichi to make formations. To be precise, he is good at destroying corpses and traces, but he really doesn't know how to cut down trees in general.The trees cut down for land reclamation must be used as firewood by the villagers. It is a pity to destroy them like this.

So, at this time, it was time for sword cultivator Zhou Man to come out.

"The energy problem of the villagers also needs to be solved as soon as possible. They can't always rely on firewood, otherwise, it will be useless to protect the ecology. Except for specific activities, such as sausages must use firewood, other solar energy or water energy is better. , clean and environmentally friendly." Zhou Man said again, while Yujian flew into the air, he held a sword formula with both hands, and with a clear drink, the red light of Chixiao Sword burst out, and hundreds of thousands of sword lights were like shooting stars. Man as the center flew out to all around.Wherever the sword light went, all the vegetation was chopped off to the ground.After flying to the limited range, all the sword lights suddenly rose up, rushed to the sky and hit one place, and then shattered into countless fine pieces of light and fell down.

[What a perfect blow! 】Tong Mingjian recalled the video and couldn't stop admiring it. [I finally collected the sword moves of Xinghemantian! 】

Most of the weapon tricks recorded in the Tongmingjian have videos, which are the afterimages recorded by the Tongmingjian of the best users of each kind of tricks in the past 10,000+ years.But I don’t know what’s going on, every time Xinghemantian’s solitary trick is used, it will hit the day when Tongmingjian is dormant, so that in 10,000+ years, Zhou Man is actually the first demonstration monk recorded by Tongmingjian .

[I have to say, it's really handsome. 】 Tongmingjian praised.

"Wow—good—!!" There was a burst of applause from around the mountain, and it was the surrounding villagers.The villagers heard that Zhou Man was going to open up wasteland for an orchard in the mountains, and all the people nearby came to watch.The first purpose, of course, is to see what the condition of the contemporary masters is, and the second purpose, of course, is to see the trees that Zhou Man cut down.

What a pity to throw it away or burn it, why not take it home and use it as firewood for them.

Zhou Man was clearly aware of this, and said condescendingly in mid-air, "You can ask for firewood, but you can't carry it with your hands, you must use the transporting spell to carry it back."

Ying Feichi was happy when he heard that.The villagers have been practicing for almost two years now, and many people already have a small amount of spiritual energy in their bodies. A few days ago, Ying Feichi thought it was okay, so he taught them the transporting spell and asked them to practice hard.Ying Feichi has been worrying about how to find time for the villagers to practice together, but Zhou Man unexpectedly took advantage of this opportunity.

As soon as Zhou Man's words fell, many people began to recite formulas and chant mantras.Some rely on their proficiency and want to move more, carrying several trees at a time, but they fall after a few steps.Some are cautious, focusing on trees, just want to get more.And some seized this rare opportunity to practice the transfer spell well.

In any case, Ying Feichi and Zhou Man pointed out one by one to correct their mistakes.In this way, another day passed.Zhou Man and the others could start working on the orchard the next day.The trees were removed, and what remained was the land.Zhou Man cast an earth curse formula, assembled the crushed stones into an earth dragon, rolled on the mountain, dug out all the tree roots in a short time, and turned the land once.Ying Feichi took all the roots he dug up to Mr. Ju and asked him what they could do for them.Mr. Ju chose a few and promised to make something good for them.Ying Feichi hurriedly thanked him, threw the remaining tree roots on the ground, and drew a fire talisman.Hula burned the mountain, and the weeds and tree roots can be used as plant ash to increase the fertility of the mountain.

When Yingfeichi burned the ground.Zhou Man has already started to work on the canal.With the Chixiao sword in hand, how difficult is it to split a few canals?Holding the Akasaka Sword in his hand, Zhou Man circled down the curvature of the mountain to open up ditches.Following his movements, the water in the ditch slowly flowed down, and finally flowed into the dry ditch, and the work of the canal was completed.

The author has something to say: I am very sorry for the late update.

Going home today, that is, back to the village, the skin on the outside of the tailbone was worn out by the motorcycle, and it hurt. . . 〒_〒

I was so tired these days, I was supposed to just lie down when I got home at noon, but Mama didn't call me, so I slept until six o'clock in the evening. . .I was drunk to myself who was possessed by the sleepy god.
