Chapter 234: Fruit Trees

"You know that you are bullying child laborers!"

The wind poured in through the car window, and Han Xuan threw this sentence to his father.

Harris laughed in the back seat, Snoopy had just taken a shower, his hair was floppy, and he was holding his head and looking cute.

Since Han Xuan learned to drive the day before yesterday, his father has not driven or lived, and let him do it for him.

Now he was lying comfortably in the passenger seat and dozing off, and changed the subject: "The resort is almost ready, it is estimated that it will open this winter, is there any way to attract people to come and play?"

"The ski resort has been built too?"

"Well, that's not difficult, we've leveled the slopes, now we're waiting for the snow, we're blocked by mountains here, the temperature is lower than the rest of Montana, it's no problem to store the snow. ”

Put on a pair of sunglasses, and seeing that he was about to go out of the snow mountain ranch, Father Han said, "Stop me, why do you think of going to buy fruit trees?"

"You can advertise in a few surrounding states and contact a travel agency to open a route to the Snow Mountain Ranch, especially in the surrounding big cities, where people in the city have never lived in the ranch and may be interested in coming and playing.

Skiing, hot springs, gold mines, ranches, and a day trip to Flathead Park can be added, and winter is the hunting season, so take them up the hill to hunt.

If you like fishing, you can go to Rota Lake, where Asian carp is overflowing, and Winnie can be bitten when he goes down to swim, and invite a few Chinese chefs to come over and make grilled fish for them on the spot.

The hotel is fully equipped, with a cinema, spa, billiards room and indoor swimming pool, etc., Montana has many rich people, but there are few places to play, and those ranchers are just like you, especially in winter, let them stay here for a few months on vacation.

The decoration is high-end, and the price is average. In the past two years, there may be little business, and when word of mouth spreads, as long as it is fun, I am not afraid that it will not attract customers. ”

Han Xuan stopped and changed to the back row, took some snacks and handed them to Harris, rubbed the Alaskan Malamute, and continued: "The idea of planting fruit trees was proposed by John. The hills at Smith Ranch were empty and full of weeds.

More than 10,000 acres of land are idle there, which is too wasteful, and planting fruit orchards can still attract tourists, and in summer and autumn, when there are no ski resorts, they will be picked in orchards. ”

Barton said that there is a fruit nursery near Great Falls, and there is also one in Helena, which one do you want to go to. ”

"Great Rapids. Anthony wanted to fax me some papers for signing, and the fax machine in town broke. Han Xuan looked at his watch, "I can just have lunch there now, there is a fried chicken restaurant that tastes good." ”

"Then Big Falls, eat less junk food, eat it there, don't bring it back, and don't tell your mother. ”

Father Han turned around. Driving east on the highway, "This Aston Martin isn't fast enough. I should have driven Jaguar out just now, and when you bought that company, remember to customize a supercar for me......"

The yellow dividing line in the center of the road is constantly moving back, and American highways like to connect the best views of each place, rather than using straight lines to shorten the distance.

Montana is located on a plate zone with many mountains. Sparsely populated and less damaging to the environment, the road is built along a river valley with huge pebbles piled up on the shore, with pine and fir trees being the most common.

The straight cedar trees are just beginning to turn yellow. There were sounds of birds in the woods, there were not many cars on the road, Michael Jackson's Dangerous was playing on the radio, and the grass was moving from time to time, and it was estimated that the animals were disturbed by the vehicles.

Two hours later, the plain came into view, where oats were planted and white houses gathered into a small town.

Oats are very adaptable and can grow at temperatures above two degrees Celsius, and they are widely grown in central Montana, with their ears branching and drooping, and should be harvested soon.

Usually go to Great Falls City by another way, but this time in order to let Harris see the scenery, Han's father made a big circle and spent more than four hours to reach the vicinity of Great Falls City, during which he stopped and asked for directions several times before finding the right direction.

At this moment, when asked about the direction of the fruit garden base at the rest stop, Han handed the water bottle to his father: "Go straight along this road, there are still more than ten kilometers, she asked us to pay attention to the signage, the name of the base is Sam Cat." ”

"When Harris comes back from the restroom, it's past one o'clock, and next time I'll go to the city, why don't you take some time to play at the Missouri River Falls?" said Han's father.

"Okay. ”

After driving forward for a few minutes according to the clerk's guidance, there were indeed a lot of fruit tree saplings on the side of the road, and when I found the sign, I went down from the fork in the road and found a small company with a sign of the fruit garden base hanging on the door.

Park your car on the side of the road.

The vicious bulldog at the door bared his teeth, snorted twice and flattered and flicked his tail, saliva dragged from his mouth to the ground, the sled dog had the vision to hide beside Han Xuan, and the fox and fake tiger barked.

Said it was a company, but in fact there were only a few bungalows, and the old black man with a hat came out of the yard and asked, "Come buy fruit trees?"

?“ That's right, we need to buy a batch of fruit trees, sir. Han Xuan said.

The old black man looked at his stupid bulldog and scolded it with a smile, "Please come in with me, the temperature is getting cold now, it is indeed a good season to plant fruit trees, my name is Nelson, it is really rare for Chinese to come to buy it." ”

"Han, he's my son, and his friends. ”

"Hello, what do you want to buy?

There are apples, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, cherries, pears, cherries, and a little bit of peaches.

I've been working with Montana State University, and the variety is absolutely fine, and several orchards in Canada also come here to purchase.

Next month is the peak sales season, and my son is not here now, so I will tell him if necessary. ”

Inside, the old black man said.

"Mr. Nelson, is this your son's plantation base?"

"yes, the others have gone to work, and they've been pruning branches lately, have you thought about what to buy?"

Han Xuan sat on the chair and asked, "My family's ranch has more than 10,000 acres of hills, and I want to transform it into a fruit garden. ”

"More than 10,000 acres, that's not a small area, and it's all hills?

We are the most popular varieties here, and we used to breed apricot and plum trees, but the sales were not very good, and we haven't planted them again, sorry to ask, where is your ranch?"

"Near Flathead. ”

"Where did you find the gold?" said Nelson enviously.

“…… That's my farm. ”

"Well, it's really good luck, I think it's better to wait until the mining is finished and then planted, mining dust is easy to affect the quality of fruit trees, and the fruiting rate will not go up when the time comes, and it is easy to have pests and diseases." ”

"Mr. Nelson, I have not had the idea of mining it lately, and I have not delayed planting fruit trees, do you have any good advice, I have not planted them before. ”

"The climate here can be grown, except for strawberries, which need to build a greenhouse, I'll take you to see the saplings......" (To be continued.) )
