Alpine Orchard - Chapter 103

[Chapter 103 Little Shrike]

Boss Gao was a little shocked when he saw the big watermelon in the video.

Watermelons are big, and more importantly, they look good.

Looking at that watermelon, it is estimated that it weighs more than a hundred catties. Big watermelon, just look at the size, it is actually difficult to estimate the weight.

The watermelon in front of Ye Mo weighed at least two hundred catties and was the largest watermelon in the field.

It’s not that Gao Yuan has never seen particularly large watermelons, such as Ningxia watermelons, which are tens of catties or hundreds of catties in size, which is not uncommon. There are also specially bred super large watermelons…

but the shape of those watermelons is closer to winter melons. And the peel is also white.

And Ye Mo’s watermelon has a good shape… It’s blue and black, like the Guanlong variety of Honeyguanlong, with beautiful lines.

Full-bodied, glossy and nearly perfect in shape.

A perfectly shaped watermelon, usually not particularly huge.

The oversized watermelon next to Ye Mo is mainly because it is too round and the shape is perfect, it looks like a model.

“Of course it’s a real watermelon, it’s still very sweet.” Ye Mo said.

“How many watermelons are this big?” Gao Yuan asked.

“30. The weight is more than 150 catties, and the largest can weigh 200 catties.” Ye Mo said.

“The quantity is a bit small.”

“Big watermelons are troublesome to grow. I’m worried about the market, so I don’t dare to grow too many… If there is a market, I can plant a large amount next year.” Ye Mo said.

“Where is your location, I’ll go and have a look tomorrow.”

“I’ll send you a location later.”

“Okay. This kind of extra large watermelon is usually one price per melon. And for the more common ones, you can Set a suitable price. I have to see the specific price before giving a quotation. By the way, are these watermelons ripe?”

“Some are already ripe. However, I picked the ripe watermelons. The taste of these watermelons is very good, no worse than ordinary black-striped watermelons.” Ye Mo said.

“Then…you can take some photos for me. It’s better to have something for reference. I’ll see if I can find a big customer first.” Gao Yuan said, “When the watermelon is ripe, I will take the customer there.”

“Okay. “Ye Mo hung up the phone, looked at Lin Xiaomian, and shouted: “Xiaomian.”

“What are you doing?”

“Come here.”

Lin Xiaomian walked over, holding a bird in his hand: “What are you doing?”

” What did you catch?”

“A bird, it was injured.” Lin Xiaomian said, “It ran in front of me by itself.”

Ye Mo looked at the bird, it seemed to be a shrike: “Hurry up and let it go.” ”

Its feet were entangled in fishing line and injured, I took it back to raise it.” Lin Xiaomian stroked the little bird’s head, the little thing was in Lin Xiaomian’s hands without struggling.

“Take some photos for me.” Ye Mo said.

“What kind of photos are you taking?”

“Watermelon, I’m standing next to the watermelon, take some pictures for me and send them to the client.” Ye Mo said.

“Oh.” Lin Xiaomian took a few photos of Ye Mo with her mobile phone.

Ye Mo then sent the photo to Gao Yuan and returned to the car. Lin Xiaomian was still holding onto the shrike: “The one in your hand is the size of a sparrow. It’s very fierce.”

“It’s very good.” Lin Xiaomian Said: “Shrike? Is it a bird that hangs its prey on trees?”

“Probably.”

The shrike in Lin Xiaomian’s hand should be a fledgling bird that has just learned to fly. It is fluffy and looks…very cute.

Back home, Lin Xiaomian took Shrike out to catch bugs. This little bird seemed to be very hungry, and even ate the worms in Lin Xiaomian’s hand.

“How to raise this bird?” Lin Xiaomian asked.

“I don’t know, I haven’t raised birds before.”

There is no cage in the house…

Lin Xiaomian locked the little Shrike in the bedroom on the first floor.

Ye Mo was also speechless.

Wild birds, especially those that can fly, are very difficult to tame…

Ye Mo went to kill the chicken.

Lin Xiaomian boiled water… In the

evening, he ate roasted chicken with taro and fried chicken offal.

“Mom, come over for dinner, Ye Mo bought a local chicken.” The meal was about to be ready, Ye Mo asked Lin Xiaomian to call her mother, calling them to come over for dinner.

“No, I’m too lazy to run. Your lady has already prepared dinner.”

“Oh, okay. I won’t go back tonight, I’ll sleep here.”

“Yeah.”

Seeing that Lin Xiaomian hung up the phone, Ye Mo asked, “Uncle Auntie won’t come?”

“Missy is ready to cook.”

Just as they were talking, Ye Mo’s parents came back.

Ye Mo put the food on the table, took out the beer, and poured it.

After everyone washed their hands and came to sit down, Ye Mo picked up a chicken leg for Lin Xiaomian and Ye Ran.

“Xiao Mian, are you going to drive the excavator tomorrow?” Papa Ye asked.

Lin Xiaomian nodded: “Yes.”

Father Ye smiled and said, “The foundation of the house will be ready for work in three or four days. After that, it will be digging ditches and burying water pipes, and the wages will be 800 yuan a day. ”

“Yes.” Lin Xiaomian pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

“Brother, are you busy tomorrow?” Ye Ran asked.

“No.”

“My micro-digger is here, you can go over and take a look at it for me tomorrow morning. If there is no problem, send it here for me… I want to finish the work at hand quickly so that I can rest for a while.” Lin Xiaomian said .

“Okay.”

“When you finish the work at hand, you will be busy with house decoration again.” Papa Ye said, “There are a lot of things this year, and it is estimated that you will not be able to rest until November.”

“Being busy is a good thing. You can make more money.” Mother Ye said: “When the work is over, then have a good rest.”

“After the work is over, let’s go to Beihai to play.” Ye Ran looked at Lin Xiaomian and said.

“Okay.” Lin Xiaomian replied.

“You just like making light bulbs, don’t you?” Ye Mo looked at Ye Ran: “If you want to go out to play, it’s me and your sister-in-law who go out, without you.”

Ye Ran made a grimace: “I’m going. ’

came the Shrike’s call from the room.

Ye Ran turned around and looked over: “What’s in your room?”

“A bird that Xiao Mian picked up was injured, and she wants to keep it at home.” Ye Mo said.

“Wild birds are not easy to raise. If you keep them at home, they will die easily,” Ye Ran said. She has picked up little birds more than once, brought them home, and they died within a few days of raising them.

“Then I’ll let it go later.” Lin Xiaomian said.

After dinner, it was dark.

There were crickets and weavers calling outside.

When Lin Xiaomian entered the room, the shrike was a little scared and avoided him.

However, Lin Xiaomian easily caught it and took it outside. With a flashlight, Lin Xiaomian followed the sound and caught a weaver girl. After feeding it to the little shrike, she put it on the branch of the rhododendron. The little guy flopped, jumped down, and fled into the orchard and disappeared.

“I went out to water the water-soluble fertilizer.” Ye Mo drove the car and looked at Lin Xiaomian who came in: “Let’s go together.”

“No, I’m going to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow…” Lin Xiaomian shook her head vigorously, and went upstairs as if fleeing . Thinking of being in the living room this afternoon, Lin Xiaomian panicked with embarrassment.

Kiss, just kiss, he even touches his chest…

At night, if you go out to release water with him, you will not be eaten.
