American Ranch

Chapter 178

Chen Mo has successfully cultivated morel mushrooms before, and brought back a large number of beehives. It seems that he is familiar with the cultivation again...

After staying in the living room for more than an hour, Chen Mo took off the thick protective clothing full of needle holes and entered the space.

The fierce bees dispersed, and the glutinous rice dumpling flew over and landed on Chen Mo's shoulder with a "chirp" sound...

"You have no loyalty." Chen Mo stretched out his hand and flicked the little guy.

Although the glutinous rice dumpling is small, it is very tossed. After all, it is a magical species that can fly close to the speed of sound...

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..." Nuomi Tuanzi yelled indiscriminately, protesting Chen Mo's injustice to it.

Returning to the orchard in the middle of the space, Chen Mo had cultivated the big morels here before.To cultivate morels, the first thing is to cultivate mycelia, and the important point of mycelium growth is these amber translucent honeycombs...

The color of the honeycomb is somewhat similar to the color of the stipe.

A mysterious substance will be separated from the honeycomb soaking water in the space, and then mixed with the spores of the large morels, then poured into the cultivation tank, and the large morels will grow in a few months...

But this is too troublesome, you have to re-cultivate the mushroom slot once or twice the mushrooms grow.

There are chicken fir nests in wild chicken fir fungus, and chicken fir nests are also termite nests, which are the main reason to support the growth of chicken fir fungus.

Chen Mo used honeycombs to make a nest of morel mushrooms. Once cultivated, it should be able to grow for a long time.

The first step is to cultivate mycelia...

The second step is to sterilize the greenhouse, dig out a deep ditch about one meter deep, go into the space to collect a large amount of rotten wood, leaves, and the unique white rock weathered soil and humus soil in the space... and then throw it away at intervals of about ten meters A piece of hive...

Wait for the mycelium to fully grow, and then use the mycelium to make bacteria blocks...

The one-step bacteria block is transplanted out and buried in the glass greenhouse...

Some bacteria blocks are left to cultivate in the space.

The growth of morels is slow, and it takes dozens of days to grow from mycelia to large morels under suitable growth conditions.

After more than ten days of hard work, the greenhouses are finally planted with large morels. If all goes well, the bacteria blocks cultivated in space will grow large morels in four or five days...

In order to get out this fungus, Chen Mo worked so hard that he delayed the business of the manor.

On both sides of the road in the manor, Chen Mo is going to plant peach trees.

Some peach trees have been in the space for more than ten years, and they have grown into big trees...

From the gate of the manor, with an interval of ten or twenty meters on both sides of the road, Chen Mo dug a big pit with an excavator, threw in organic fertilizers, and moved the peach trees in the space with a little mud...

These tasks can only be done by Chen Mo alone, and it is impossible to hire others.

My daily job is to plant trees and water the transplanted fruit trees...

Working secretly by himself, River Valley Manor unknowingly changed its appearance.

在庄园里种植了1000多颗桃树。800多颗嘉宝果树，其中36颗快要是60年的大树，占地面积10英亩……

More than 500 fig trees, covering an area of ​​21 acres.

Acres of miracle fruit, 4 acres of cherries...

Peach trees are planted on both sides of the road, and you can see them wherever you go.

For the rest, Chen Mo planted all grapes, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Viognier, Shiraz, Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.

All the grapes have been grafted in space, 130 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 60 acres of Viognier, and the rest are other grapes.

The planting area is large, but the density...

The grapes in the space adopt the tree-shaped pruning method, with a distance of 7 meters and a horizontal distance of 10 meters.

Because one person is busy, according to the standard planting density, there must be not enough grape seedlings, and it is too time-consuming.Just chop up the mess and plant it first...

"Finally done."

There are only two peach trees left in the space, several fig trees with small flowers, two gerbera, a small mysterious orchard, and dozens of grapes reserved for grafting and pruning.

It just rained yesterday, so I don't need to water the orchard and vineyard today, so I have free time.

In September, it is time to harvest grapes.In fact, some of the early grapes were picked.

Napa Valley has entered the busy farming season, and many grapes will be picked this month.Cabernet Sauvignon is a late-ripening grape, especially the Cabernet Sauvignon used for winemaking. It will not be picked until October, and it will not be picked until mid-November...

With a busy life alone, Chen Mo is used to getting up early.

I didn't have work to do today, so I just slept in and slept until after 11 o'clock, when Brett called and woke him up: "Hi, Boss."

"Huh?" Chen Mo was in a daze: "What's the matter?"

"Do you need to repay the $200 million you borrowed from Wells Fargo?" Bright asked.

In the past few months, the ranch has been operating well, and more than 4000 lambs have been born one after another.The main output is goat milk. The lambs will be weaned in three months. There are already more than 2000 ewes in the dairy farm, and it can expand to [-]-[-] ewes in a short period of time.

"Let's go back." Chen Mo turned on the speakerphone, rubbed his sleepy cheeks, and woke up: "I see that there are more than 700 million US dollars in the ranch account, how much is the disposable amount?"

"The profit of the pasture is stable, just keep 100 million yuan. The solid organic fertilizer (powder and granular) produced by the pasture has already exceeded 6000 tons. Our pasture only uses liquid organic fertilizer. Solid organic fertilizer already has wine The village and the winery contacted us, and the quotation they gave was US$65 per ton. Would you like to sell it?"

The price of organic fertilizer for vineyards in Napa Valley is basically more than US$100 per ton.Expensive ones cost more than US$500 per ton, and there are even more expensive organic fertilizers.This is the retail price, a hundred dollars of organic fertilizer, and the transportation alone accounts for a large part of the cost...

Vineyards have a huge demand for organic fertilizers. If all organic fertilizers are used for 1 acre of vineyards, the annual fertilizer consumption will be at least 2 tons.

For the price of grapes in Napa Valley, even $500 per ton of organic fertilizer is not too expensive.Americans all believe in the saying that wool comes from sheep, and the output of high input will eventually be transferred to consumers.

"$65 is the selling price? It doesn't include the shipping fee..." Chen Mo said.

"Of course. The other party transports it by itself."

"You can figure it out, just don't lose money." If there is too much organic fertilizer on the pasture, it will pollute the environment.This is an additional product of pasture farming, and it doesn't matter if the price is cheaper.Some ranches will also pay companies that specialize in cleaning up manure... $65 per ton is not bad, although the ranch has invested in equipment and manpower.

After getting up, taking a shower, and shaving his beard clean, Chen Mo went downstairs to make breakfast...for lunch, he called Bai Xiaoou.

Brother Motors invested 10,000+ to redecorate the sales showroom, and it was completed at the end of July.Bai Xiaoou's Porsche 918 has also been bought a long time ago, and the transaction price seems to be 168 million US dollars.

That car was bought by Bai Xiaoou for 160 million yuan, fully insured for one year, and sold for 168 million yuan, and all the money was given to the car dealer (commission).It is equivalent to playing this car for free for several months...

"Are you busy?" Bai Xiaoou said.

"Let's find out about Lamborghini Reventon." Chen Mo laughed.

"Okay, I'll go to the car dealership right away."
