Returning to my hometown to inherit three mountains: Don't stop me from raising pigs
Chapter 9: Dog Thief System
In the whole Shangouzi Village, there are at least thousands of acres of mountains suitable for growing fruit trees! There is no other way, because this is deep in the Qinling Mountains, with vast land and sparse population!
At the beginning, Gu Chang's father, Gu Jianguo, contracted fifty acres of mountain land in Fulu Mountain and used it all to plant hawthorns and pomegranates.
20 acres of hawthorn are planted and 30 acres of pomegranate are planted!
Gu Jianguo is an honest, simple, down-to-earth and hardworking person. Since he leased the 50 acres of mountain land to plant fruit trees, he has been eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the orchard almost all the time. He treats these fruit trees better than he treats his own son, Gu Chang!
In addition, whenever there were any difficult problems, Gu Jianguo would go through Gu Chang to seek help from the experts at the Agricultural College. In just a few years, the hawthorn trees and pomegranate trees were able to bear fruit!
As a result, only three or four years later, there was a bumper harvest of hawthorn and pomegranate. Not only were the fruits very large, but the taste was also top-notch, sweet and sour, with a rich fruity aroma!
That year, the fruits sold helped Gu Chang's father recover his costs and even made a lot of money!
By the fifth and sixth years, the hawthorns had grown in abundance, and Gu Chang's father, Gu Jianguo, made a fortune!
Therefore, the villagers in Shangouzi Village were envious of Gu Jianguo for making a fortune, and gradually they began to want to follow him and learn how to grow fruit trees.
During that period, the threshold of Gu Chang's house was almost trampled down, and people from the village came and went, wanting to ask Gu Jianguo for experience on how to grow this kind of fruit tree.
Lao Gu was not a person who kept his secrets to himself. He wholeheartedly passed on his experience to the villagers and provided seedlings. Soon, more and more villagers began to follow Lao Gu to plant fruit trees!
However, after two or three years, the fruit trees began to bear fruit. When the fruits were ripe, the villagers tasted them and found that they were completely inedible!
The taste of these fruits is so weird, most of them are extremely sour and astringent, and some are like chewing wax and are hard to swallow!
In a word, it is not something that humans can eat!
Comparing the fruits grown by Gu Jianguo, one was like a fairy fruit and the other was garbage. This directly led to the villagers' resentment towards Gu Jianguo!
Why is it that the fruits you grow are so sweet and delicious, but none of us can swallow them?
Gu Jianguo, are you hiding a trick and not telling everyone the real secret because you are afraid that everyone will steal your business?
The angry, jealous and furious villagers completely lost their minds during that period and were full of malice towards Gu Jianguo.
Behind the scenes and openly, all kinds of nasty words were said one after another, and some people even threw stones and garbage at Gu Chang's house.
This also caused Gu Jianguo to become extremely worried and he fell ill!
Although Gu Jianguo later took out all his money and contracted all the fruit trees in the village at a high price, the villagers who felt they had suffered a huge loss were still full of resentment.
So now Gu Chang owns nearly 800 acres of fruit trees in the village! From Shangouzi Village, all the mountains you can see belong to Gu Chang!
Most of the 800 acres of fruit trees are hawthorns and pomegranates, with a small portion of apples and kiwis.
But unfortunately, except for Gu Jianguo’s fifty acres of fruit trees, all other fruits tasted so bad that they were basically impossible to sell. Year after year, they all rotted in the fields!
It has been more than a month since Gu Chang came back, and it’s almost August!
Starting from August, all hawthorns and pomegranates will gradually mature, and it is harvest season!
Gu Chang has no worries at all about the fifty acres of fruit trees planted by his father, Gu Jianguo. Every year they produce the best quality fruits, which are already booked before they are even ripe!
There are 20 acres of hawthorn trees. Because it is a mountainous area, Gu Jianguo planted the trees a little bit wider. There are about 60 hawthorn trees per acre, and the yield per acre is more than 2000 kilograms!
Because the fruits on Gu Jianguo's trees are of the highest quality, the purchase price is also the highest, almost on average 2 yuan per catty.
The cost of just 20 acres of hawthorn trees, not counting the cost for one year, is 8 yuan!
Now, most of these planted fruit trees have entered their peak fruit-bearing period, and the estimated income this year is around 12 yuan.
The 30 acres of pomegranate trees have a yield of about 3000 to 4000 jin per acre. Because the pomegranates are large and taste very good, the purchase price of Gu Jianguo's pomegranates is more than 5 yuan per jin!
The annual income from these 30 acres of pomegranate trees is about 50 yuan!
After deducting all costs, these 50 acres of fruit trees can bring Gu Jianguo a net profit of about 40!
This is also why the villagers are jealous, 40! For the villagers of Shangouzi Village deep in the mountains, this is an unimaginable wealth!
However, Gu Jianguo never revealed his true income to anyone in the village. The villagers knew that Gu Jianguo made money by growing fruit trees, but they did not expect it to be so profitable!
But now, in addition to the 40 acres of fruit trees that bring in an annual income of 50 yuan, Gu Chang still has hundreds of acres of fruit trees rotting in the fields and are worthless!
This is what gives Gu Chang a headache!
What should we do with these hundreds of acres of fruit trees?
Even if the system did not assign any tasks to Gu Chang, Gu Chang would find a way and try his best to turn these hundreds of acres of fruit trees into treasures!
Gu Chang was very depressed. He stood up, lay on the ground, and did a hundred push-ups...
"98, 99, 100! Huh!" Using almost his last bit of strength, Gu Chang finally completed the push-ups!
"This damn system! It did it on purpose!" Gu Chang, who was so tired that he could hardly breathe, cursed in his mind!
"The host has been detected to have negative or malicious emotions. The workload has been doubled. Do 200 push-ups per day!"
"Fuck! System, damn..."
"The host is detected to have bad and malicious emotions..."
The system's voice sounded in Gu Chang's mind again, and Gu Chang immediately changed his words and said, "System, your uncle... are you okay? By the way, does the system have an uncle?"
"This system is the latest high-tech product in the universe. It does not have what you humans call direct relatives. Unlike you, your uncle is in very good health." The system's cold voice sounded.
Gu Chang was embarrassed. This damn system, its words sounded a bit weird no matter how you listened to them!
The adults were magnanimous and didn't argue with it. Gu Chang began to think in his heart, how can these hundreds of acres of fruit trees be turned into treasures?
