Yang Yuanhang followed the address given by the fruit and seedling merchant yesterday. Because of the long distance, he drove his motorcycle northwest along a secondary highway passing through Guan Town for more than an hour and left Guan Town. Finally we came to the intersection of the small village that the fruit and seedling merchant had mentioned.
"Boss Li, where is your home? I've arrived at the place you mentioned."
Since this small village is on the edge of the center of another town called Zhongzhen, when Yang Yuanhang arrived here, he stopped his motorcycle at the intersection and made a call to the fruit and seedling merchant surnamed Li.
"Oh, you are Boss Yang, okay. Just follow the cement road in the village to the end of the cement road and you will find me."
Soon, Yang Yuanhang got the answer from the phone. He immediately started his motorcycle and headed towards the cement road in the village according to what the fruit and seedling seller said.
This small village is not big and is located on a hillside above the fields. Yang Yuanhang quickly passed through this small village and saw from a distance that the cement road broke off in front, and at the end of the cement road was a rolling hillside. .
However, there are fruit trees planted everywhere on this hillside, and this fruit tree is the yellow-skinned fruit, also known as the chicken heart fruit.
Not far from the end of the cement road, there is a two-story, somewhat dilapidated house.
There is a dilapidated Great Wall pickup truck parked in the open space in front of the house. Next to the pickup truck, a fat middle-aged man with a big belly was looking towards the cement road.
"Are you Boss Yang?"
When the middle-aged man saw Yang Yuanhang, he just stopped his motorcycle next to him and immediately came up and asked quickly without waiting for Yang Yuanhang to speak.
"Hello, Boss Li."
Yang Yuanhang got off the motorcycle and immediately knew that he was the fruit and seedling merchant surnamed Li.
"Well, come on, have a cigarette."
Yang Yuanhang unceremoniously took the middle-aged man¡¯s Zhonghua cigarette, lit it, looked at the surroundings and said, ¡°Boss Li, these fruit trees are all yours, right?¡±
"Well, come on, take a look, these are the fruit seedlings I grafted."
Yang Yuanhang smoked a cigarette, and following the man's words, the two of them walked into the orchard.
¡° Later, under the man¡¯s introduction, Yang Yuanhang saw that many of the branches of the thick sweetheart tree had been grafted. Although the grafted branches have not been cut off yet, you can now see from the source of the graft, a large bulging ball of soil wrapped in a fiber bag, and some of the roots growing out of the soil have forced out fibers. bag.
"Why are they all on trees? Aren't they grown from the seeds of the core fruit?"
According to general fruit seedling breeding, seeds from fruit trees are grown on the ground. However, when Yang Yuanhang saw these chicken heart seedlings hanging on the trees, he asked with some doubts.
"Haha, Boss Li, you don't understand this. Those fruit seedlings raised from seeds are not as good as these, because the survival rate of fruit seedlings raised from seeds is not high when they need to be dug up and planted elsewhere. Yes, the genes of those fruit seedlings are unstable, and if the fruit trees bear fruit, it is very likely that they are not pure chicken heart fruits." Boss Li answered for Yang Yuanhang.
"Well, this one is grafted from a tree just like those guavas."
Although Yang Yuanhang didn¡¯t know that the chicken heart fruit was also grafted from the tree, he knew that the guava was grafted from the tree.
"This chicken heart fruit, like guava, is usually grafted from a tree. In this way, the fruit seedlings are thick, unlike those grown from seeds, which take a long time to raise. And those on these trees only need to be harvested from trees. If you go back and plant the seeds, you will basically have a fruit harvest in one year, and you will have a bumper harvest in three years." Boss Li answered for Yang Yuanhang.
"That's true, but I heard that the survival rate of these fruit seedlings grafted from trees is not very high. Is this true?"
Yang Yuanhang was secretly anxious, because this fruit seedling boss would not mention the price, but would talk about the benefits of his fruit seedlings, so he immediately raised some problems for him.
"Whoever said that must have never seen the world and doesn't know the benefits of grafting. These grafted fruit seedlings are the best to plant and have the highest survival rate. Boss Li, if you don't believe it, just buy my fruit seedlings and I'll let you plant them. Life or death, I don't want money, I will continue to supply fruit seedlings for you to grow until they survive." Boss Li saw Yang Yuanhang's strange question and immediately answered anxiously.
"Oh, that's it. Let me think about it. I'll go somewhere else first to see those chicken heart fruit seedlings. Boss Li, you know I have dozens of acres of land, so I have to be careful. Otherwise, it's easy to lose everything."
Yang Yuanhang, who was smoking, frowned, smoked slowly and sighed with a solemn expression.
"This is the same, but I dare to pat my chest and say that my fruit seedlings are the best, and they are nearby."??I am the only one with a large number of sweetheart seedlings for sale. Let's do this, I charge you five yuan less for a fruit seedling, then treat it as a loss and sell the fruit seedlings to you. "I don't know if Boss Li guessed that Yang Yuanhang had ordinary thoughts, or if he had something else, he actually took the initiative to raise the price issue.
"Five yuan less, how much is one plant? I want the best fruit seedlings. As for the inferior ones, I don't want them. Because I want to save time and don't want to plant them again and again if they don't survive." What a waste of time, after all, time is money." Like a snake, Yang Yuanhang followed the stick and took the opportunity to open up the price issue.
"Twenty-five yuan, five yuan less is twenty yuan per plant."
"It's so expensive. Didn't I tell you on the phone yesterday that it was only fifteen yuan per plant? When I get here, Boss Li, you are going to raise the price. This is too embarrassing for me. In that case, let's not let it go for now." Angry Yang Yuanhang took the opportunity to walk out of the orchard.
"Boss Yang, wait a minute, listen to what I have to say first. The fruit seedlings you want are the best, and the price is corresponding. Now I have reduced the cost by five yuan, which is already a loss. Because grafting one tree is better. The fruit seedlings require a lot of effort. From the day they were grafted, they have to be taken care of every day. This is a lot of effort" Boss Li started his long speech again.
However, Yang Yuanhang knew that the price was indeed too high. Because, before departure, we had inquired in many ways and found out that grafted chicken heart seedlings cost no more than 20 yuan per plant at most, but now, the price is still 20 yuan. Therefore, this boss Li does not have much sincerity at all and is simply bullying. Guest, it would be better to leave the mountain uncultivated than to buy his fruit seedlings, or to buy them elsewhere.
Thinking of this, Yang Yuanhang, who had just stopped, immediately took steps outside again.
"Boss Yang, just wait a minute. I can only give you eighteen yuan at most. I really can't afford less."
This fruit and seedling merchant, Boss Li, followed Yang Yuanhang¡¯s footsteps and talked as he walked.
Yang Yuanhang paused and turned around and said, "Fifteen yuan, that's fine. If not, I'll have to buy it elsewhere."
Actually, Yang Yuanhang really wants to buy the chicken heart seedlings here, because these seedlings are very good to see. However, the price is a bit high, and funds are tight now, so save what you can, otherwise you will really have no money to do other things by then.
"Okay, I wonder, Boss Yang, when will you go back to pull the fruit seedlings?"
Finally, the fruit and seedling merchant, Boss Li, after pondering for a moment, agreed with the price Yang Yuanhang said.
Soon, Yang Yuanhang left a deposit of 500 yuan and left the orchard with a receipt.
After several hours of driving, Yang Yuanhang returned to Guanzhen. He found the owner of the excavator, negotiated a price of two hundred yuan an hour, and went to push the mountain tomorrow.
That way, as long as the hills are pushed tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the fruit seedlings can be brought back for planting immediately.
However, the biggest trouble is the warehouse. It seems that there is time to conquer those people to move the firewood. Even if you give them money, you have to find a way to get them to move. Otherwise, only fruit trees can be planted on the hills. In the short term, There is no harvest, and the only way to make money is by raising pigs. If we can't get a warehouse to use as a pig house, planting fruit trees doesn't make much sense now.
At this time, Yang Yuanhang had already had dinner in the town and returned home to think about how to perfect the plan and implement it.
