Chapter 298 Taoyuan Orchard
Xia Rufei carried the bucket and started sprinkling water on the saplings dug out by the workers, especially the roots of the tree. He even sprinkled more.
Lu Bo looked around and shook his head secretly. What he was worried about before was not that these saplings would die, but that the temperature was too low, so it was not easy to survive if planted during this season.
Therefore, in Lu Bo's opinion, Xia Rufei's behavior seemed to be a bit amateur and a futile attempt.
However, Xia Rufei was so persistent, so naturally he would not say anything more, but walked aside to help Xia Rufei contact the truck.
Soon, the workers prepared 260 saplings, and a white van that Lu Bo helped him drove to the nursery.
Xia Rufei and the driver agreed on the freight for a total of 500 yuan.
Lu Bo then called on the workers to start loading the car, while Xia Rufei took cash from his bag to pay for the saplings.
The 260 saplings cost a total of 4,680 yuan. Lu Bo took the initiative to erase the fraction and collected Xia Rufei for 4,600 yuan.
After loading the car, Xia Rufei drove in front to lead the way and asked the truck driver to follow behind.
Along the way, Xia Ruofei controlled the speed of the car, and the pickup truck and the small truck drove into Taoyuan Farm one after another.
When passing by the vegetable greenhouse, Xia Rufei stopped the car and shouted.
Cao Tieshu and others walked out of the greenhouse quickly. When they saw Xia Ruofei bringing a small truck over, Cao Tieshu couldn't help but ask, "Oh! Boss, what have you bought back?"
"Lychee seedlings!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Old Cao, call everyone up and take the tools to the back mountain orchard. Today we will plant the fruit trees. Thank you for your hard work!"
Cao Tieshu was shocked when he heard this and said, "Boss, the weather is too cold now, so it's not easy to live in planting lychee trees!"
After saying that, Cao Tieshu couldn't help but say in annoyance: "Oh! It's all my fault that I didn't explain it clearly yesterday! Boss, I just asked you to set the saplings first yesterday, so that you can't plant trees until spring is over! This is really a waste of money..."
Xia Ruofei said easily: "It doesn't matter, Lao Cao, this is a high-tech sapling I specially contacted. It has strong resistance to freezing and will definitely survive!"
"High-tech saplings!" Cao Tieshu's eyes lit up.
Now the three words "high-tech" have become magical synonyms for Cao Tieshu, and "high-tech vegetable seeds" have completely conquered Cao Tieshu.
So he believed Xia Rufei's words and immediately turned around and called out: "Buddies! Let's stop what we are doing. Let's go to Houshan Orchard to plant trees first! The boss bought the saplings and brought all the tools with him!"
The workers took out shovels, picks, hoes and other tools, and Xia Rufei asked them to put the tools directly on the back of the pickup truck.
Some of the workers got on pickup trucks, while others got on small trucks. Anyway, they didn't have much distance, so they just squeezed.
When Xia Rufei was building the farm, he considered the subsequent development issues, so the roads in the farm were well connected, and a cement road could directly lead to the back mountain orchard.
The two cars drove directly to the hillside. Cao Tieshu got off the car and began to call on the workers to unload the car first.
A dozen people were together, and in a short while, all the fruit seedlings were unloaded.
After Xia Rufei paid the freight, he sent the truck away.
Cao Tieshu has already started assigning tasks here. Xia Ruofei walked over to Cao Tieshu and said, "Old Cao, all the hillsides to the east are planted with lychee trees."
Cao Tieshu estimated it a little and said, "Boss, will this sapling not be enough? This hillside must have at least 8 acres! There are only more than 200 saplings here!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "According to the standard species of 6 meters by 5 meters, the number must be enough, and there should be surplus."
"Sow so wide! Would it be too wasteful of land?" Cao Tieshu hesitated.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's okay! We are high-tech saplings, we are taking the high-end route, and our saplings will definitely grow bigger than ordinary lychee trees, so we won't feel sparse at that time!"
Cao Tieshu thought it made sense, but the boss must understand it better than him.
Before the vegetable greenhouse officially produced vegetables, the vegetables that Xia Rufei provided to the two catering companies every day, Cao Tieshu, a farmer who has grown vegetables for most of his life, asked himself that he could not grow them.
So Cao Tieshu naturally would not question Xia Rufei's decision and immediately called on the workers to start working.
Xia Rufei couldn't help these tree-planting jobs. He saw that it was almost noon and he would definitely not finish lunch before, so he called Pang Hao to go to the county town to order some wine and food and deliver it directly to the back mountain orchard.
Then Xia Rufei walked to the place where the saplings were piled up. Without Cao Tieshu and others not paying attention, he unconsciously collected two concubines and lychee saplings into the space. He wanted to plant one or two lychee trees in the space, so that he could eat lychees at any time in the future.
Then Xia Rufei looked at it for a while and felt that he could not help much, so he simply walked towards the top of the mountain.
He came to the water tower and looked around and saw that there was no one around. He thought and took out a porcelain bottle containing a petal solution from the space. The petal solution in this porcelain bottle was quite high, and it contained almost one-third of the components of strange flowers.
Xia Rufei poured all the solution in the porcelain bottle into the water tower.
The orchard is also pre-buried with an irrigation system, and the water is also taken from this mountaintop water tower.
After all the fruit trees are planted, the irrigation system must be turned on. Xia Rufei believes that with this bottle of petal solution, every lychee tree can survive.
He put the porcelain bottle back into the space and walked down the mountain.
The workers planted half of the seedlings, and it was almost lunch time. Pang Hao directly delivered the food ordered from the county restaurant to the mountain. Everyone sat on the ground and had a simple lunch.
Xia Rufei also had lunch with the workers.
After eating, he took a short rest. Cao Tieshu was worried that it would be bad if the saplings were dug out for too long, so he stood up and asked everyone to continue working.
Xia Rufei greeted Cao Tieshu, and then drove down the mountain alone in a pickup truck.
Back at the villa, Xia Rufei explained to Ye Lingyun and Pang Hao, telling them that if there is any need for Cao Tieshu, they will give priority to guaranteeing it.
Then Xia Rufei went upstairs and returned to the room.
After Xia Rufei locked the doors and windows, he entered the spiritual map space with a thought.
He first took a part of the seeds he bought today according to the demand reported by Cao Tieshu, then labeled them on the sorting box in different categories, poured in the diluted petal solution and began to soak the seeds.
