Farming from the end of the world

Chapter 22 Planting Trees

The chicken has also been seen, and the rice is full.

Satisfied, Zhang Haoyu immediately decided to cooperate with Chen Guo, buying native chickens from him at a price of 15 per catty. If Chen Guo's flock produced native eggs, he would also be willing to buy them at a price of RMB [-].

Just as Chen Guo thought, Zhang Haoyu's restaurant alone could not buy all the chickens at once, and the restaurant only needed about [-] chickens a week.

Losses are inevitable during the breeding process. Chen Guo's current chickens are in the early 1500s, which is less than two months old. Even if he buys chicks immediately, there is still no time to supply them continuously.

Zhang Haoyu said nothing about it, he will find a way to solve it.

But I still added a sentence: "You should raise more chickens for the next batch. Our family is an old shop, and those diners have a good tongue. They are not too happy about changing suppliers."

Chen Guo nodded: "Don't worry, now that I have money, I will definitely order chicken seedlings as soon as possible."

The two signed an agreement immediately, Zhang Haoyu transferred a deposit of 5000 yuan to Chen Guo, and agreed to catch the first batch of chickens in a few days.

After sending Zhang Haoyu away, Chen Guo immediately contacted the hatchery and ordered another 3000 chicks, which cost 5000 yuan at once, and he had to add some more.

With income, his life is finally on the right track.

Calculating that this batch of more than 1500 chickens can bring him about [-] in income, this amount is already very impressive, and Chen Guo plans to plant some trees on the mountain.

Now his forest is bare, unattractive and wasteful, not to mention that there is no vegetation to fix the soil, and there may be dangers such as mudslides in the rainy season.

He doesn't plan to plant paulownia anymore. The local climate is pleasant, so planting some fruits is also a good choice.

I thought this would have to wait until the beginning of spring next year, but he searched the Internet and found that many trees are suitable for cultivation in autumn.What a coincidence, now that he has money and the season is right.

All that needs to be considered now is what tree to plant.

"Peach or apricot." In this regard, Zhou Lu, who came back on the weekend, gave his own suggestion, "Our account has been increasing fans, and some people even said that they want to travel to the village and experience rural life. Don't you think we can mess around? Tourism?"

Chen Guo's eyes lit up.

Zhou Lv continued: "Our county's tourism industry has developed well, and the peach blossoms and apricot blossoms are very beautiful. If we work hard, we should be able to attract many tourists during the flowering and fruiting stages."

"While doing tourism, the village can also develop farmhouses and homestays..." Chen Guo continued, the more she thought about it, the more feasible it became.Even if the tourism industry can't be done in the end, he won't lose money if the peaches and apricots bear fruit.

With that being decided, Chen Guo plans to sell a few more batches of chickens, and then buy fruit trees online when she has enough money.

The restaurant business of Zhang Haoyu's family is doing well. He drives a car every week to buy chicken coops, and the money is given readily. After half a month, Chen Guo's hands suddenly became richer.

60 acres of mountainous land is not considered vast, let alone that he plans to grow corn and sweet potatoes in flat areas. In the future, there will be more chickens and he will need to build chicken coops. Therefore, he only bought 800 seedlings for peach trees and [-] seedlings for apricot trees. The two-year-old seedlings that have been grafted are expensive, but they will save him trouble in the future.

Seeing that the mulberry seedlings in the store were selling cheaply, he also bought 100 seedlings.Although he doesn't plan to raise silkworms, mulberry trees have other uses, such as delicious mulberries, young leaves that can be eaten as vegetables, and even mulberry leaves can be fed to chickens.

Most of the money in hand went away at once, but it was a necessary investment.Before the saplings and chicks arrived, he had already started digging holes to prepare for planting saplings these days.

Seeing that winter is coming, the weather is getting colder, the shrubs and grass on the mountain have basically withered, and the few sparse trees on the mountain have lost all their leaves.

Chen Guo didn't know what kind of trees these were, but he didn't plan to cut them down, it would be boring if they were all peach trees, it would be better to keep these miscellaneous trees for decoration.

The mountain forest is divided into two halves with the spring as the center. On the left side close to home are planted peach and mulberry trees, and on the right side are planted apricot trees.He didn't want to plant the trees neatly, so when he dug the pit, he always went from far to near, as he liked, hoping that the forest in the future would have a natural and wild charm.

It took several days to dig the hole, and the [-] fruit tree seedlings he ordered also arrived.The store also sent medicines such as rooting powder and carbendazim.

It happened to be the weekend, and Zhou Lu also came to help while filming.Because the most tiring work of digging holes in the early stage has been solved, planting trees is not a lot of effort, and it can be solved in a day and a half.

The seedlings with pruned branches and leaves are bare, which is really not good-looking.However, we can look forward to the spring in a few years. It must be colorful and colorful, just as beautiful as recorded in "Peach Blossom Spring".

After planting the tree, Chen Guo came to the small sweet potato field again. The sweet potato leaves had started to wither and turn yellow, and it seemed that it could no longer provide nutrition for the sweet potato.

Before it was dark, Chen Guo harvested all the sweet potatoes again. Although the sweet potatoes were small in size, the yield was not bad, and they even harvested a snakeskin pocket full.

Picking up the good ones, I picked up about ten catties of bags and kept them for eating. The rest of the old fruits were placed directly next to the chicken coop. This stuff is durable, and I threw a few of them every now and then to improve the food for the chickens.

That night, Zhou Lu cooked as usual, the simple home-cooked dishes, but Chen Guo ate them very deliciously.No way, who made his craftsmanship far worse than Zhou Lu's, and the weekends of every week can be regarded as the time for him to fight teeth.

Zhou Lu looked at him silently for a while, then sighed: "Next time I'm on vacation, I'll buy two kimchi jars, and I'll add some food for you too."

Pickle!Chen Guo nodded quickly, wondering why she didn't think of this, and was also surprised: "You can also make kimchi?"

Zhou Lv nodded: "The kimchi at school is free. I've seen how they make it. I happen to have radishes at home, so I make Sichuan-style kimchi."

Sichuan-style kimchi is hot and sour, which is just right for the taste of Chen Guo.Chen Guo nodded quickly: "Okay, the radishes grown in the backyard have also grown quite big, and I was just thinking about how I can eat all of them."

Kimchi is not only delicious but also durable, so you don’t have to worry about wasting radishes.

Zhou Lu went back to school early the next day, and Chen Guo went up to the mountain to feed the chickens as usual. Some of the chickens have been sold, and the consumption of feed and water is not so much. It is much easier to add food and water now.

As usual, I found eggs in every corner. Today there are 8, two small ones, and the remaining six are no different from the eggs on the market.After releasing all the chickens, Chen Guo looked around again, looking at the fruit saplings planted yesterday.

The saplings are no different from yesterday, they are still bare. Chen Guo thinks that next spring, when the fruit trees germinate, they can apply some fertilizer. It happens that he raises chickens himself, and there is no shortage of chicken manure. Let it ferment.

While thinking about walking, unexpectedly, when passing by a pile of hay, a hen jumped out suddenly, which startled him.

The hen clucked, its feathers blew up, and its small mung bean-like eyes were full of vigilance.

"Go!" Chen Guo was not afraid of the bluffing hen, kicked it lightly, and leaned over to check.It was quite a surprise that there were six eggs lying in the haystack.

Silently glanced at the clucking hen, Chen Guo picked up an egg and looked at it.If the incubation time is not long, it can still be eaten, but if the embryo is formed for too long, the hen can only be allowed to continue.

Reluctantly, after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see any difference from normal eggs, and he didn't come to a conclusion in the end. It seemed that he could only let it continue to hatch.

He wrapped up the hay and eggs with the hem of his clothes, picked up the whole hen, and returned to the chicken coop.

A chicken coop was rearranged in the corner of the chicken coop. Chen Guo put the eggs on it, and the chickens too.The hen was still in shock, and hesitated to go up to hatch the eggs.

After Chen Guo moved a feed bucket and a drinking bucket closer, she left the chicken coop without bothering.

The chicks hatched by the hen itself are difficult to raise, not to mention that now that winter is coming, the weather is cold, and the possibility of freezing to death is not low even if the chicks are taken care of by the hen.

Fortunately, the new batch of chicks he ordered is coming soon, and it will be good to put the chicks hatched from this hen in the incubator at that time.

Three days later, the second batch of chicks he ordered arrived, and the hatchery gave him [-] young roosters this time. Zhang Haoyu's restaurant was also willing to accept roosters. Although the price was slightly lower, Chen Guo also made a profit.

Because Chen Guo didn't have a car, he had to trouble Zhao Quan to drive his pickup truck to pick it up with him, and Zhao Quan naturally agreed.

Unlike the last batch of chickens, it was still warm.But now it is the beginning of winter, fearing that these chicks would be frozen, Chen Guo specially prepared a large oilcloth, transferred 33 boxes to a small truck, and covered the chicks tightly.

After returning home, with the help of Zhao Quan, they quickly transferred all the chicks to the heat preservation room.

The chicks regained their vitality after resting for a while. It was time to eat and drink. It seemed that they were not affected by the cold weather.

Chen Guo heaved a sigh of relief, and after carefully checking the flue and electrical circuits, she was relieved and went home with Zhao Quan.

"Uncle Zhao, thank you so much, I'm sorry for always troubling you." Making Zhao Quan a cup of hot tea, Chen Guo thanked him.

"You child!" Zhao Quan glared at him, "They are all from the same village, just helping out, don't always be so polite!"

"Yes, yes." Chen Guo nodded, but she was thinking in her heart that she was about to take the driver's license test.It's just that now there are [-] more chicks in the house to take care of, and he really doesn't have time to spare.

It seems that we have to wait for the winter vacation anyway, and Zhou Lu will be free if he can help him when he is on vacation.After getting a driver's license and then buying a second-hand pickup or minivan, everything is convenient.

"... Xiaoguo, Xiaoguo?" His mind was full of calculations, and he lost his mind for a while, until Zhao Quan called him back to his thoughts.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Uncle Zhao, what did you just say?" He quickly apologized.

"Forget it... I also know that you don't like to hear it, and I don't want to get involved in the affairs of you young people. You can do it yourself." Zhao Quan sighed, drank the tea in his cup, got up and said goodbye and went home.

Chen Guo was left at a loss.
