silent farm

Chapter 137 There are more and more things to care about

5%, it seems that this commission is not high.

But it can be calculated that the price of caviar produced by Silent Farm is [-] Euros per kilogram.That was the sale price of the farm, and when it reached the diners, it was said to be [-] Euros.

So don't underestimate that 5% of sales.None of the beluga sturgeon produced on the farm weighed less than two hundred catties, most of them weighed two hundred and fifty to sixty catties.A fish has about 20% of its body weight in eggs.

Each fish has at least 5 kilograms of fish eggs, and 40% of the sales are at least [-] euros.Li Sheng's plan is to catch [-] fish a year.After this year, Cherpov can get [-] euros.This is not a small number.

Cherpov is very satisfied with this cooperation. He only needs to work four to five days a week, and he can return to the city to spend the rest of the time with his family.

So he still pays great attention to building a good relationship with Li Sheng and the others.He greeted Babur and Zhang Dingbian with a smile, and then answered Li Sheng's question with a smile: "I caught two today, one weighed 120kg and was 72 years old, and the other weighed 160kg, was 90 years old. A total of 31 boxes of finished products were produced today."

This also means that he can get a pre-tax income of about 6000 or 60 euros.If he can catch such a big fish every time, his income this year can reach [-] euros.

Li Sheng saw his flushed face and knew why.Although that kind of income is the highest in the whole farm except him, but that is the value of technology.Li Sheng had to hire a master producer, otherwise, according to his level, it would be nothing if the caviar could sell for five hundred euros per kilogram.And he signed a five-year cooperation agreement with Cherpov, and during these five years, Cherpov must teach more than two caviar makers.So that money also has the meaning of training fees.

He smiled and said: "The result is good." The 31 boxes can bring him an income of nearly 12 Euros, and he is quite satisfied.

But Cherpov felt he should be able to get more.It's not that he thinks that Li Sheng's share is too small, but that he thinks the caviar from Silent Farm is too cheap.

2 Euros per kilogram seems expensive.But in fact, the most expensive caviar in the world is Iranian caviar. The price is more than [-] US dollars per pound, which is at least seven times that of the caviar produced by Silent Farm.Cherpov felt that the beluga caviar was no worse than that.I think the price should be more than double that.

However, Li Sheng was quite satisfied with the price.After all, this is a new variety, and it can gain a place in the market thanks to Fernando's publicity.

If the market opens in the future, he can increase production.

He also calculated that although there are not many sturgeons in the space, there are not many sturgeons in the large lake of tens of thousands of square kilometers because there are no natural enemies.Although it takes at least 60 years for them to grow to more than [-] kilograms, the number of female beluga sturgeon reaching this age is definitely no less than [-].According to this number, it shouldn't matter if you can get one or two thousand a year.

Because this kind of big fish can lay eggs after the age of 20, specially catching those over 60 years old will not affect their reproduction.

The price of this kind of caviar is not high now, but maybe after the fame slowly starts, it will gradually increase.He didn't think about how expensive it would be. If it could reach [-] ohms per kilogram, it would be fine.As for what price to sell in the market, that has nothing to do with him.

Now, the main markets for the caviar produced by Silent Farm are Europe and the United States, while in China, the caviar market is still being developed.The Jipanguo market has opened up a bit, but it's not very big.Selling ten boxes a week is pretty impressive.

The temperature in the Amazon plain is very high throughout the year, so it can be said that it is suitable for agricultural planting throughout the year.At the beginning, Li Sheng opened up a piece of cultivated land with an area of ​​about ten mu near the villa area. The main purpose was to grow some vegetables and fruits that he ate.Some miscellaneous grains are also grown, such as cassava, sweet potato, taro, corn, potato and tuber, etc.

Sweet potatoes and corn are planted at about the same time, and the harvest time is also about the same, as well as some beans.

It took him two days to harvest what he needed to harvest, and what was left was either eaten or picked periodically.

If he is free, he will go to the unproductive planting areas in the hilly area to see if they have been harmed by alien animals.Especially when I was harvesting sweet potatoes a few days ago, I found spinach.Although that thing is not as destructive as a wild boar.But he's still worried that their presence in the agricultural part of the farm could harm crops he values ​​so much.

Especially for those shrubs that are specially used to produce taxol, if one dies, one will be lost, and seedlings need to be replanted.It is impossible to take cuttings.At the beginning of his experiment, no matter what soil or water was used, that kind of shrub could not reproduce vegetatively at all.

In half a year, the shrub that he had always called the yew fruit in his heart had grown to a height of almost one meter.This height is probably also able to bear fruit, not many, only a dozen or so in one plant.But these yew fruits haven't bloomed yet, and Li Sheng doubts whether the environment here is not suitable for growing such things.

Or is it that the red soil here is not fertile enough?
Li Sheng picked a few leaves and rubbed them to pieces, and found that there was still plenty of water in the leaves, which meant that the dry season hadn't affected them yet.It seems that after the wheat harvest is over, let the workers fertilize these shrubs. Anyway, there is enough green manure now.

Speaking of which, those algae are also a bit flooded. If they don't harvest them with all their strength, those lakes will be covered in a few days.If you harvest with all your strength, the doubled expansion of the manure pond will not be enough.Later, Zhang Feng and Li Sheng had to use these algae to make feed for pigs and chickens, so they could barely use them up.Otherwise, they can only be piled on the ground to stink.

Also, there are too many weeds here, and people have to get rid of them.

He didn't sense any traces of scallops on this hundreds of acres of hillside, nor did he find any traces of their presence.I guess it's because there's nothing they like here.

Not only yew forests, but also bamboo forests, coffee forests, cocoa forests and grape forests were not found.At last he came to the Brazil chestnut grove at the edge of the forest.This forest area is very large, covering more than 700 square kilometers.Brazilian chestnut grows very quickly, and this kind of tree is usually a big tree that stands out from the crowd in the forest. The competition strategy of the forest makes them form a habit of rapid growth.

In less than a year, they grow to a height of five or six meters in the case of sufficient sunlight.But it will take a few years for this thing to benefit.

Here, there are also various weeds and many shrubs.Although Brazilian chestnuts are very tall, they are not very dense tree species. The sunlight penetrates their canopy, allowing the ground to get a lot of sunlight.There are not only shrubs, but also vines and weeds.And he did sense the existence of the western scallops in this place.It was a group of thirty big peccaries and a dozen small peccaries.

But since they mainly live in this place, Li Sheng didn't think about what to do with them.This is also considered a forest, and it should look like a forest.It is also normal to have several wild animals.As long as the crops in the planting area are not destroyed, his tolerance for wild animals is quite high.

This morning, he took a brief look at the conditions of various crops in the hilly area, and found no large-scale diseases.This is good.However, his previous idea of ​​hiring a winemaker has never been implemented.

Those vines just set up a simple wooden frame and let them grow, which would have grown very lush.But he saw that the grapes in Fernando's winery were pruned so that only a little vine was left, hanging on the shelf, just like a small tree.It is said that there are usually only a few bunches of grapes left in a grape.It seems that it really needs to find someone who can grow grapes to manage it.And in the future, some workers will need to be recruited to work in these cash crop areas.

However, the manpower on the farm is still somewhat insufficient.

At noon, as usual, he picked Tia back for lunch, and then sent her to school in the afternoon.His habit has long been known by everyone on the farm.His plane had just landed that day, and Thomas, who hadn't seen him for a while, was already waiting for him on the ground.

Some time ago, Thomas was busy looking for suitable jungle adventure routes in the forest, and at the same time led a group of temporary workers to build roads and bridges in the forest.For this final destination, he chose the valley where the Gilolo people lived before, and he also proposed to rebuild the tree house there.The plan is to turn it into a jungle resort.

I don't know what he wants to ask for when he comes out to find him this time.

When Tia saw Thomas, she knew that Li Sheng had something to do. After getting off the plane, she said hello to Thomas and went to school.

Li Sheng saw that the stubble on Thomas's face was not shaved, so he smiled and stepped forward to give him a hug, and said, "I thought you were going to live a savage life in the forest."

"Haha, life as a savage is actually pretty good." The two separated after hugging each other, Thomas said with a smile. "Li, we have already built roads and rest areas on the road. Of course, we have opened up a small open space in the valley of the Ji Luoluo tribe. I plan to use those logs to build some wooden houses as a resort. What do you think? "

Speaking of which, Thomas has been very busy during this period, but his leisure travel project has not opened yet.However, Brother Cheng, who went to the farm with Chen Bo before the New Year, greeted Li Sheng two months ago, saying that he is applying for the opening of an international tourist route to Brazil, hoping to use his Silent Farm as one of the attractions.He readily agreed, but there is no news until now.

It was precisely after hearing what Li Sheng said that Thomas worked so hard to create a leisure and adventure trip in the jungle.

Li Sheng knew that Thomas was concentrating on this aspect now, so it was not easy to dampen his enthusiasm: "Of course it's very good. What more support do you need?"

"I need some building materials, and I need a helicopter support. Otherwise, it will take a lot of people and time to send it from the ground."

Li Sheng didn't refuse this. Since there is wood in it, there won't be too many other raw materials, and the helicopter doesn't have to fly into the forest every day: "No problem. I'll talk to Babur. Is there anything else?"

"We can get other materials locally. The wood needs to be dried, so it takes some time."

Li Sheng thought for a while and said, "In this case, you can rest here on the farm for a few days. Someone over there will watch over you."

"Yes, Fang is a nice young man, and now he can control those workers." Thomas paused and said with a smile. "I kind of want him to be my assistant on a regular basis."
