Go back to 1980 and enjoy it

Deng Yunqiang asked with a shocked look on his face: "Are these cinnamon-flavored lychee seedlings really so good? Can they bear fruit in the second year after planting?"

In the current Shuangwang realm, the small number of lychees planted are directly grown from the leftover lychee cores. Farmers have not seen circle planting and grafting planting, so the second thing they heard about the cultivation of cinnamon-flavored lychees was It’s an incredible feeling to be able to bear fruit within a year.

Deng Changfu nodded and said: "That's what Jiu Gong said. These cinnamon-flavored fruit seedlings are not planted with lychee cores like the lychee trees we grow here. Instead, they directly select a good branch on the lychee tree and peel it off. Then wrap it with mud, wrap it with straw or something, cultivate the roots of the lychee, and then cut it out and use it as a fruit seedling. Only the fruit seedlings cultivated in this way can bear fruit in the second year of planting. ”

Although Deng Yunqiang had never heard of people planting lychees like this, since Uncle Jiu, a powerful person in the village, said this, and Uncle Jiu had taken the lead in taking action, then the fruit seedlings were most likely true.

As long as there are no problems with the fruit seedlings, there is no need to worry about whether the land here can survive.

After all, Bobai County is recognized as a treasure land most suitable for growing fruits. This can be seen from a song circulated in the county singing about the fruit production in the four seasons of the lunar calendar.

The ballad goes like this: "The whole county of Bobai is a treasure land, suitable for planting all kinds of fruits. In March, bayberry and April plums, in May, peaches and lychees, in June, pineapples have yellow skin, in July, longan and sand pears, in August Bananas are on the market, oranges and persimmons are on sale in September, grapefruits are on display in October, and carambolas are in good business all year round.”

In addition to the fruits sung in the ballad, there are also cane, loquat, mango, papaya, banana, myrtle, black olive, yellow olive, chestnut, cone millet, glycerin, jujube, lemon, orange, Pineapple (ground pineapple), grapes, monk fruit and many other fruits.

Among these many fruit varieties, lychees and longans are the most famous.

Therefore, Bobai County is very suitable for growing lychees.

The prospect of planting these cinnamon-flavored lychees was so good that Deng Yunqiang became more and more excited as he thought about it. But after he got excited, when he thought about the practical problems, he felt as if he had been hit with cold water. He lamented: "Oh, it's a pity. I don’t have to spend so much money to build this orchard.”

Changfu's mother was both excited and heartbroken. She was excited because she knew about such an opportunity to make a lot of money, but heartbroken because her family didn't have the ability to seize this opportunity and could only watch it slip away.

At this time, Guan Yongying winked at Deng Changfu.

Deng Changfu hesitated for a moment and said: "Dad, Mom, it would be a pity if you miss this opportunity. You can earn at least more than a thousand yuan a year, and you will make more and more in the future. If our family really Once this orchard is established, it is estimated that within a few years it will become a household worth 10,000 yuan.

So, I think how about we learn from Jiu Gong and go to a credit union to get a loan? Anyway, there is no interest, you can just pay it back when you make money. "

When Deng Yunqiang heard this, his heart moved. If anyone had asked him to get a bank loan before, he would have shaken his head and refused immediately. He would rather miss one meal a day than do such a "shameful" thing.

But things are different now. Even Jiu Gong, a powerful person in the village, has gone to a credit union to get a loan. So it doesn't seem to be a big deal for them to get a loan. Jiu Gong is not afraid of embarrassment, so what do they have to be afraid of?

Therefore, after hearing his eldest son's suggestion, Deng Yunqiang thought for a moment and nodded: "Then go for a loan. Mr. Jiu is really good to you. He even told you about this opportunity to make a lot of money." , If our family cannot seize this opportunity, we will let down Jiugong’s kindness. "

Seeing that the father-in-law of the family agreed, Guan Yongying was very happy. If the orchard is really developed, the day when their family will become a household worth ten thousand yuan is just around the corner.

While her husband was discussing with her parents-in-law about getting a loan from a credit union, Guan Yongying was thinking about taking time to go back to her parents' home tomorrow. She wanted to tell her parents the great news and ask her parents to follow suit. Lychee trees are planted in the orchard.

…

As Deng Yunkun and five others worked hard to open up wasteland on the hillside of Deng Shirong's home, the news that Deng Shirong planned to transform the hillside of his home into an orchard and then plant lychee trees spread throughout the village in a short period of time.

Now every household in the village has been allocated a lot of mountains. When the villagers saw Deng Shirong doing this, they came over one by one to ask about the situation.

Faced with the inquiries from other villagers, Deng Shirong was not as unreserved as he was to Deng Changfu and his wife. He just explained clearly the cost of growing lychees, and then said that the lychee orchard would definitely make money, but the profit would be less. He doesn't know yet. He will have to wait until the lychee trees start bearing fruit and sell them for money.

This is not because Deng Shirong is stingy and refuses to tell the truth to the villagers. The main reason is that he is also afraid of accidents. If he guides the whole village to follow the planting of lychee trees, if an accident occurs to a family's fruit tree and fails to be planted, then who will suffer the loss? of?

Even if everyone’s fruit trees are planted, if the lychees cannot be sold when the lychees bear fruit, who will lose?

Of course, the chance that lychees will not be sold is relatively low, because it is 1980 and the country still implements a planned economy system, so there are strict regulations and plans for the purchase and sale of agricultural products.

In addition, now is the early stage of reform and opening up. The country has introduced many policies to support farmers in economic development, such as interest-free loans from banks. Some local governments will even provide some subsidies or incentive policies for fruit farmers to encourage them. Plant fruits.

This is also the main reason why Deng Shirong dared to set the purchase price of Guiwei lychees at 40 cents per catty.

From Deng Shirong's point of view, he was just kindly helping the villagers and giving everyone a chance to get rich. He was definitely not to blame for the accident. He had no profit in doing so, so how could he compensate the villagers for their losses?

But human nature is very complicated. If the villagers who suffered heavy losses blamed Deng Shirong for all this, it would be a typical thankless task.

Instead of doing this, it would be better to put it more conservatively, and wait until the lychee trees he planted really make money, and then call on everyone to plant them together.

That way, even if there was an accident, no one could blame him.

Because Deng Shirong did not clearly explain the prospects of planting lychees to other villagers, other villagers couldn't help but shake their heads when they heard that the cost of planting lychees was so high. No one dared to follow Deng Shirong.

After all, it was an investment of hundreds or thousands of dollars. Without knowing whether it would make money, few in the village had the courage to do it.

They plan to observe it for a few years to see if the lychee orchard established by Deng Shirong can make money.
