Chapter 227 - 227 Orange Down the Tree

227 Orange Down the Tree

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, the navel oranges would go down the tree on November 11th. Yes, Singles’ Day.

However, the family had been busy since a month ago.

Why?

!!

First, the fruit trees had to be fertilized in the winter.

Half a month before the harvest or half a month after the harvest; they could be fertilized after October 1st.

It is easy for yellow leaves, fallen leaves, weakening of the tree, and poor differentiation of the flower buds to affect the trees after harvesting the navel orange, which would impact the next year’s harvest.

Winter fertilizers are commonly used in organic fertilizers.

The so-called organic fertilizer was like the dregs after oil was squeezed, like peanut dregs, vegetable seed dregs, and other farm fertilizers.

Composite fertilizer is used to replenish large amounts of elemental nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc.

The purpose of winter fertilizer is to replenish organic matter, promote calcium in root trees, reduce trace elements such as magnesium in yellow leaves, promote bud differentiation, and replenish zinc and boron.

The orange umbilical cord from his three uncles was planted before the fruit was picked.

The method of fertilization was to dig a trench and bury the fertilizer at a depth of 40 centimeters.

In the past, when people fertilized, they had to dig pits that were about 1.5 meters long and 40 centimeters deep.

However, in recent years, with the development of mechanical technology, the countryside has gradually become dependent on mechanical tools.

Nowadays, many people hired excavators to dig ditches. It was convenient and cost-effective.

In the past, odd-job workers were hired for 60 to 70 dollars a day.

For example, when her uncles hired more than ten odd-job workers for a large orchard. It cost more than a thousand dollars a day. They could work for at least a few days. They also had to buy groceries and cook for everyone. It was very troublesome.

However, ever since the excavator arrived, things have changed. The fee was a little higher; it was 700 to 800 dollars a day, but it was very effective.

They could finish the work in two or three days.

Of course, the three uncles did not hesitate to hire an excavator and two or three fertilizer workers.

Even so, it still took some time.

After winter, they started taking orders.

Over the past month, orders for navel oranges had flown over like snowflakes.

As a matter of fact, the entire family was on the phone non-stop.

Normally, they didn’t need to spend much on phone calls and traffic in a month, but in this month, it would at least increase by several times.

After receiving the order, they had to calculate.

Before the navel oranges were sold, the pre-order sales had already reached tens of thousands of kilograms.

Gu Qingming thought that her uncle’s oranges were indeed delicious, so she ordered 3,000 catties for her relatives and friends.

All these years, Father Gu would pre-order 30,000 to 40,000 catties every year as a benefit. He would gift them to the employees and clients!

The navel oranges that Mr. Gu ordered were delicious. Every day during this season, many employees looked forward to giving out this benefit.

Many people loved oranges, especially oranges that tasted so good!

However, it was really difficult to buy really delicious oranges.

The fruits produced in every place would have a certain characteristic. However, it did not mean that all the fruits produced in this place were of the same good quality and taste.

There were many places that sold low-quality goods.

Apart from familiar channels, online platforms also facilitate sales. It was difficult to buy an authentic brand.

That was because the real good navel oranges had already been sold offline.

In particular, orders for her uncles’ navel oranges formed a long queue. How could there be any more oranges to sell?

Gu Qingming’s greatest joy now was to go up the mountain to see the customers who came to pick the oranges. She would choose from the oranges one by one and look at one. She felt that any one of them was fine.

Oh, it had to be said here that the customers who came up the mountain to pick the navel oranges had to purchase the oranges from the entire plant.

Otherwise, who would buy the remaining fruits?

Of course, in the event that the fruits of the entire tree were too bad, customers could still make selections at the point of packing. This happened in situations when the fruit was too big or too small or when the fruit had spots on the skin.

At this moment, Gu Qingming was resting on the rocking chair. Yes, the rocking chair was sent by her eldest uncle at the insistence of Grandma Shi.

Now that Gu Qingming was running up the mountain, even if she did not work, she had to rest well.

Of course, there were customers coming to the mountain every day. They couldn’t leave all day long, so they ate on the mountain most of the time.

Gu Qingming still did not know how to cook, but she had already learned to pick vegetables, wash them, and even cut vegetables. Yes, she had helped.

Gu Qingming had never thought that a fair, rich, and beautiful woman like her who did not do anything would actually do such work.

Even though she had been married to Lin Haotian for three years in her previous life, Lin Haotian was the one who did these chores.

Lin Haotian had always coaxed and supported her.

She had also tried to help Lin Haotian bear some responsibility, but unfortunately, when she washed vegetables, it was like water rushing to the Dragon King’s temple. When she cut vegetables, it could stain the entire sink with blood.

In order to show that he was a good man, Lin Haotian took over all the housework and never let her do any housework again.

Even if Lin Haotian really didn’t have time, he would still hire part-timers.

Gu Qingming was still the pampered Gu Qingming, except that she was not as extravagant as before.

“Wenwen, have you eaten the orange I sent you? How does it taste? Do you want to come over and take a look?” Gu Qingming started to call Gao Wenwen again.

...

Gao Wenwen was speechless.

She said, “Girl, what are you trying to do? Promoting your uncle’s navel oranges?”

“That’s not it!” Gu Qingming smiled and said, “My uncles’ navel oranges are always sold out. Is there a need to promote them?”

“So, girl, what exactly do you want to do?” As Gao Wenwen spoke to Gu Qingming, her eyes were fixed on a handsome man in front of her. She said, “Wow, I saw a handsome man. That man is tall and slender. When I saw his back, I felt that he must be a very handsome man!”

Gu Qingming was speechless.

This wretched girl was starting to be infatuated again.

Didn’t she know that most of the time, when she looked at people, they could turn out to be wolves in sheep’s clothing?

Could she change her habit?

“Gao Wenwen, I’m talking to you about serious matters,” Gu Qingming said angrily. “Don’t be infatuated. Be careful not to fall.”

Gao Wenwen waved her hand and said, “You don’t have to worry. I flirt with handsome men and beautiful women. There are at least 800 if not 1,000. When have I ever suffered a setback? Girl, this is my only hobby. Don’t stop me. Otherwise, I’ll fall out with you!”

Gu Qingming smiled helplessly. Then, she said seriously, “Wenwen, are you really not going to do the navel orange business? My uncle’s navel oranges are not the best in the country, but they’re at least ranked.”

...

Gao Wenwen said seriously, “Girl, you know that most of my target consumers are high-end consumers. They prefer to pursue a healthy diet, so they have very high requirements for food. In terms of food, the lowest requirement is to reach the non-adverse green grade of AA. Your uncle’s watermelon has reached this standard, but I’ve asked someone to test this orange. It’s still a little short of the requirement.”

Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Pfft, I’m just informing you in advance now. Next year, I’ll definitely make you satisfied!”

Gao Wenwen was speechless.
