Chapter 17 Future Planning
Luo Mu's eyes lit up, waiting for you to say this.
Rather than burying his head in research, or relying on the experience of bloggers from other regions with different climates and environments, it is most appropriate to directly consult local professionals.
Luo Mu said bluntly: "To be honest, I am a little unsure about the selection of the first batch of crops on the farm, so I thought of visiting Jones Farm to learn from it."
Peter blinked and suddenly realized why Luo Mu, who should be a fellow traveler, cast a curious look at the fields along the way. It turned out that he was half an outsider.
Perhaps he was a rich young man who came to play. Peter didn't understand the thoughts of rich people very well.
Still smiling, Peter patted his chest, as if he was responsible for it, and said, "You asked the right person about this matter, because the boss sent me to investigate when they noticed the wasteland. So I know that the soil of the wasteland is basically the same as our Jones Farm. Basically, you can grow anything we can grow."
Peter led Luo Mu, Papa and Godfather Mastiff to an orchard, where the most common and most in-demand orange and peach fruits were planted.
Papa looked curious, and after getting Peter's consent, he led Godfather Mastiff to experience the joy of harvesting tree fruits under the guidance of the fruit farmers in charge of this area.
Luo Mu stroked the slightly rough bark of the orange and peach trees, and looked up. There were about a hundred orange fruits on a lush orange tree.
Luo Mu remembered that a normal quality orange fruit was about 20 Alliance coins. After testing, the orange fruit of excellent quality would not exceed 100 Alliance coins at most.
I just don't know the price of orange fruit seedlings, and what the growth and harvest cycle is like.
Luo Mu looked at Peter and expressed his doubts, waiting for the answer as he paused.
Peter paused for a while. Logically, he shouldn't answer too many questions for the competitors of the farm where he works. According to the boss and his wife's intention, he should just tell them some common sense directions.
However, Luo Mu should be a second-generation rich man who is just playing around. His farm probably can't impact the sales of Jones Rural Area, so he is not a competitor worth noting. Moreover, the information he asked for can be found on the Internet as long as he is careful, so it is better to make a good relationship.
Peter smiled without changing his expression, "One thousand Alliance coins per orange and peach fruit tree, the harvest cycle is mostly between one and a half to two and a half months, depending on the variety after selection and breeding."
"However, you need to pay attention to the fact that most fruit trees need two months to grow before they start to bear fruit. In other words, if you choose to plant seedlings, plus the growth cycle of the seedlings, you need to wait at least three and a half months."
"If you transplant fruit trees, you don't need to wait this long, you can see the fruit next month."
"Of course, this is also because the fruit contains rich energy. If it is ordinary fruits and vegetables, there is no limit, basically it can grow in one or two months."
Peter finished his words in one breath, then looked at Luo Mu and observed his expression.
Luo Mu took out a small notebook from somewhere, and when Peter said a few words, he carefully sorted out the key points and then wrote them down.
It seems that he is not worried about the problem of capital turnover at all, and just wants to study hard.
Peter can only give up the idea of earning agency fees by introducing a batch of grown fruit trees to Luo Mu.
The visit to Jones Farm went smoothly. Luo Mu gained a lot of small knowledge that would be hard to know without practice, and he became more confident about building a good farm.
On the way back to the farm with Papa and Godfather Mastiff, Luo Mu had already conceived the initial planting goals in his mind.
One is some common crops headed by potatoes, tomatoes and cabbages. Before the fruit trees have grown, they are one of the main sources of income.
The second is fruit trees. Considering the limited experience, Luo Mu initially only planned to plant orange and peach fruits, which are in high demand and are not very picky about the growth environment like other rare fruit trees.
Later, Luo Mu also asked Peter how much a fruit tree that has grown to the fruit-bearing age would cost, but Peter's quote of 3,000 Alliance coins really discouraged him.
He now has a total of 231,145 Alliance coins in savings. How can he have so much money to burn? He won't starve to death if he waits for a while, and he will be able to get the salary of Orange Academy after a while.
The grass seeds needed to cover the pasture area are not a small number, and there are also edible fish fry that need to be introduced in the lake area. As for fish Pokémon, it is more economical for him to catch them himself than to introduce them.
It is better to plant tree and fruit seedlings honestly. If you take too big a step, you may easily pull the eggs. It is safest to take it step by step.
Since the environment in Siberia can grow potatoes, let's set a small goal first. Successfully growing a potato is victory!
Soon, Luo Mu, Papa and Godfather Mastiff returned to the farm gate. Because Jones Farm and the road to the Lighthouse Research Institute in the South First District are in opposite directions, Papa plans to take Godfather Mastiff back to the Lighthouse Research Institute alone.
Papa's face was full of smiles, and he jumped and waved his hands: "Brother Luo Mu, I had a lot of fun today, thank you for your hospitality~"
Luo Mu touched his soft beige hair and asked, "Don't you stay for dinner before leaving?"
"No, Mom has prepared delicious food for me~" Papa remembered Olin's promise when he went out with Taijingzhu in the morning, and an expectant look appeared on his face.
He hadn't eaten the food cooked by Olin himself for a long time.
Luo Mu didn't force it, but just made a suggestion: "Otherwise, I'll let Dragonite take you? It flies very fast, maybe you can go back early to help Dr. Olin, and cook together."
Luo Mu felt that as long as Papa could influence Olin and others in every little detail, he might be able to deviate the ending of the tragic story that might come to a certain extent.
Compared to a mouse, he still wanted to see a family of mice.
Luo Mu's proposal made Papa very excited, and he agreed to it without hesitation, sitting on the back of Dragonite called by Luo Mu, holding a red and white ball in his hand, which contained the Mastiff Godfather.
The red and white ball was given to Papa by Luo Mu after he heard that the Mastiff Godfather was still in the wild and had not been tamed.
When Papa said he was ready, Dragonite flapped its small wings and instantly rose into the sky, slowly disappearing into the horizon.
Watching Dragonite's shadow go away, Luo Mu stretched and murmured, "Now is the perfect time to go to the market and buy some seeds."
