Chapter 217

When villagers in Qianmen village order corn, they dig a hole in the field and put two or three corn kernels into the hole. One of the two or three corn kernels will emerge, as long as one corn seedling grows.

Now there are rice transplanters and corn planters, but Qianmen village used to be poor. No villagers had these agricultural machines at home. Only some people with harvesters from other places came to harvest rice every year and charged one or two hundred yuan per mu to help the villagers cut the rice.

But it's easier to order corn. The villagers of Qianmen village, men, women, old and young, will fight together. It won't be long before they can plant 100 mu of land. After all, Qianmen village doesn't have much, but there are many people.

Li Mu returned to the village with more than 1000 vines. Most of the corn fields in the village had been planted. When Li Mu said hello, hundreds of villagers rushed over to help plant vines.

"Li Mu, these vines look good, and they already bear small grapes. If these grapes don't fall, they will grow into grapes in a short time!"

Xia Youwei can't do farm work. When the villagers are busy, she takes a group of half aged children in the village to cook mung bean soup. When she sees Li Mu coming back, Xia Youwei quickly welcomes them.

"In half a month, these grape trees will mature in the next half a month!" Li Mu said confidently.

"It's best to mature in half a month, but it's still summer. If you transplant grapes, you need a lot of watering, otherwise you may not live!" Xia Youwei thought for a moment and said.

Although she can't do farm work, she still knows this common sense. Summer is not suitable for transplantation. If there is no water shortage, it may be difficult for plants to survive.

"Not only grapes, but also other fruit trees, so I'm going to dig Xiaoyue lake and water from Xiaoyue lake to irrigate fruit trees!" Li Mu said.

Qianmen village needs to plant hundreds of mu of fruit trees. It's too busy to expect the villagers to carry water for irrigation. We have to divert water from Xiaoyue lake for irrigation.

"That's OK. Xiaoyue lake has a lot of water. Although irrigation of so much land will consume a lot of water, there's no other way now!" Xia Youwei nodded.

Generally, there are pumping stations in villages. When rice is planted every year, groundwater is pumped to irrigate the land. However, Qianmen village and several nearby villages can't get groundwater, so Qianmen village can only use the water of Xiaoyue lake.

"Uncle Niu, I'll plant grapes here. You take people to Xiaoyue lake. Dig Xiaoyue Lake today and let the water wet wetland of Xiaoyue lake first!" Li Mu shouted.

"OK, I'll go now!" Old Niu nodded, turned back and shouted, "big egg, two eggs, crooked mouth, you take a shovel with me to dig Xiaoyue lake and lead the water to the irrigation canal!"

"I see, Dad!" Niu Dadu promised, turned back and asked someone to get a shovel, followed the old man Niu to Xiaoyue lake.

Xiaoyue lake is a few miles away from Qianmen village and Houcun village. Old man Niu went there with more than a dozen people. After a while, he couldn't see anyone.

"Er WA, what kind of vine do you say?" Old man Zhang, who lives in Houcun, looked at Li Mu and asked.

"According to the contract, the more than 1000 vines are enough to plant more than ten mu of land, starting from Aunt Liu's house!" Li Mu waved his big hand and said.

Villagers with hundreds of acres of land want to plant their own land first. After all, this land can be harvested one day earlier, but there is always a priority for so many land.

"Good, good, plant my land first, and my contract says grow grapes!" Aunt Liu stood up excitedly and said.

Other villagers looked disappointed. Who didn't want to plant their own land first? Look at those villagers who planted vegetables in Qianmen village. They used to be poor and couldn't afford pants. Now they began to think about buying houses in the town or even in the city in the future.

"Fellow villagers, don't be discouraged if you can't plant fruit trees today. The forest farm will send all the fruit trees in three days. All the orchards in Qianmen village have to be planted in a week!"

"The big guy must be busy this week. Let's work harder and plant all the fruit trees!" Li Mu said loudly.

"Cheng, I believe Er WA, er wa must be right!" A villager of Qianmen village shouted.

"Yes, I also believe in Erwa. We will do what Erwa says. In the past, our Qianmen village was poor. Now, who doesn't envy our Qianmen village!" Another villager also said.

"Plant trees, plant trees. These fruit trees are bought by Erwa at a high price. We can't spoil them!"

The villagers carried shovel hoes and drove the grapes to the fields with a cart. After a while, they be in full swing.

Although the weather was hot, the villagers did not feel tired. Most of the villagers were still planting corn. More than 100 villagers planted vines. Soon after, many vines were planted.

Some villagers planted vines, while others built grape trellis. The grape trellis in the orchard was low and compact. When the grapes were ripe, they could be picked with their hands. Pieces of grape trellis were soon built.

"I have to plant hundreds of acres of fruit trees a week. I'm afraid I can't plant them!" Xia Youwei said excitedly and worried.

When these fruits and trees are successfully planted and listed, it means that Qianmen village has taken a big step forward in its road to prosperity.

However, hundreds of acres of land have to be planted a week. I'm afraid the villagers will work very hard.

"All the villagers in Qianmen village are out. There should be no problem planting fruits and trees in a week!" Li Mu said with a smile.

Xia Youwei had no worries about food and clothing since childhood. She didn't understand the villagers' desire to get rich. As long as she could get rich, the villagers would be willing to stay up for a few days and plant fruits and trees a week. It's not difficult at all.

It's hard to do anything without money these days. Although it's not easy to do anything with money, it must be easy to do most things.

While directing the villagers to plant vines, Li Mu asked the villagers to be careful not to lose the strings of small green grapes.

These small green grapes grow on the vine. As long as they don't fall, under the shadow of Shennong spirit gathering array, these longan grapes will mature in ten days and a half months. At that time, the first fruit product in Qianmen village will be on the market.

Qianmen village grape is definitely the top grape. Even the romantic Ruby sold by Fusang for tens of thousands of yuan can't compare with it. It's a pity to lose it now.

The villagers are working in full swing. Li Mu also rolled up his sleeves to help in the field, but before all the vines were planted, Niu Da egg came panting.

"Brother Erwa, it's bad. The people from Wangjia village are calling!"
