Alpine Orchard - Chapter 126

[Chapter 126 Fruit Picking]

The happy time always feels very short.

In a blink of an eye, the pomegranates and mangoes of the production team started picking.

Early in the morning, Lin Xiaomian got up to prepare breakfast, and shouted ferociously: “Ye Mo, go downstairs to eat, hurry up.”

Ye Mo got up reluctantly, found a long coat and long sleeves to put on, and went downstairs : “Tomato scrambled eggs, tomato egg soup… they are all eggs.”

“If you don’t want to eat, just go hungry.” Lin Xiaomian made a fierce look, but there were dimples on her cheeks, no matter how you look at it, how cute.

Ye Mo picked up the bowl and chopsticks, tasted the scrambled egg with tomato made by Lin Xiaomian, not to mention, it tasted really good.

The tomatoes in the vegetable garden at the back were watered by the Lingquan, and the tomato vines grew to a height of about two meters… only seven were planted, but they ate for a whole summer.

After eating, Ye Mo drove the off-road dump truck out, and Lin Xiaomian sat in the back…

“Sit still, I’m driving.”

“Go.”

“Hold me tight…” Ye Mo started the car with a smile, and after going out Accelerate suddenly, a brake.

Lin Xiaomian was so angry that she bit his shoulder hard: “Drive well.”

First went to the big reservoir, fed the lobsters, and then went to the production team.

When he came to the warehouse of Tang Xun’s house, there was no one here, so Ye Mo got out of the car and loaded some plastic baskets into the car and went to the orchard.

The orchard is very lively.

There are eight people in Tang Xun’s family, including two little ones.

The little guy is at their mother’s place…

“Why did you come here?” Wang Yue looked at the two of them with a smile.

“I came here after feeding the lobsters.” Ye Mo walked over and reached out to tease Tang Tang.

“Call someone.”

Tang Tang pouted: “Uncle… big lady.”

Ye Mo and the others smiled and agreed.

Wang Yue and Lin Xiaomian covered the pomegranates with foam nets, and then put the pomegranates into plastic baskets.

The purchase price given by the fruit merchant is very good, but there is also an extra link of packaging.

“Come here.” Tang Xun and Chen Chen walked over.

“Yeah.” Ye Mo looked at the large area here, and it was only eight o’clock, and he had picked more than ten acres.

The yield of pomegranates here is low. On average, there are only about five catties of pomegranates on a tree. Calculated as grains, ten grains are less than…

The yield of one mu, more than three hundred catties, must be less than four hundred catties.

“I’m also in charge of packing the fruit?” Lin Xiaomian asked.

“Otherwise, with your little arms and legs, I would be reluctant to go pick fruit.” Ye Mo said.

“Ouch, hello…” Ye Ran called out, “You two, are you tired of spreading dog food every day?”

“Yes, it’s so disgusting.” Wang Yue said, looking at Tang Xun: “Look at your good brother If you can talk a lot, you don’t have any sweet talk.”

“We are both old couples.” Tang Xun said with a smile, “It’s not disgusting to say those words.”

Ye Mo smiled and took out a cigarette, and gave it to Tang Xun and Chen Chen lit one: “Are we transporting the fruit, or picking it?”

“Transport it.” Tang Xun and his family came out after six o’clock. He also picked pomegranates for more than an hour, and his arms were sore.

After smoking a cigarette, Ye Mo sent the empty plastic basket on the car to the front, turned the car around, and moved the baskets of pomegranates to the car.

Soon, he was full.

Chen Chen also worked very quickly, but Tang Xun worked slowly…

Ye Mo helped Tang Xun’s car to be filled, and three off-road dump trucks carefully headed to the warehouse.

The orchard road is not smooth and full of fruits, so be careful.

Come to the warehouse and unload the fruit.

Tang Xun said, “Do you think my pomegranates are 50,000 jin?

”

“I think it’s about the same. More than 40,000 catties, at most over 50,000 catties.” Ye Mo said, “It’s just that they don’t look good.”

“I think these pomegranates are quite beautiful.” Tang Xun said.

“Have you never seen a beautiful pomegranate?” Ye Mo moved the fruit basket and gave him a contemptuous look.

Tang Xun used a lot of various fruits to make cakes, but pomegranate… I really didn’t use it.

But he has seen beautiful pomegranates before. But how should I put it, these pomegranates… are not enough compared to the top, but should be more than the bottom.

“I also think the pomegranates here are very beautiful, much more beautiful than the pomegranates at the bottom of the mountain.” Chen Chen said.

“Why don’t you compare with wild pomegranates.” Ye Mo said, the pomegranates at the foot of the mountain are indeed a little worse, but not by much: “This year’s pomegranates are expensive, and the top pomegranates in Spring City cost as much as 13 yuan per catty. 1 catty. A pomegranate at 13 yuan per catty is beautiful. But a slightly better pomegranate, the price is only 6,789 yuan… Again, more, 45 yuan per catty.”

The pomegranates in Chuncheng are indeed beautiful , Last year it couldn’t be sold at the price, that’s for a reason.

In the past few years, the price of pomegranates in Spring City was also very high. Just last year, it fell sharply… This has to start with some Internet celebrities.

In Spring City, internet celebrity hosts with goods are not particularly welcome. It seems that the year before last, there was a rise of Internet celebrities bringing goods… On the Internet, they said, “Our fruit in such and such a place can’t be sold, and now it is cheap and cheap, and I will send you a box for ten yuan…” These Internet celebrities directly sell The place name of Spring City was given out.

Originally, the pomegranates in Spring City were selling well, and there were many buyers, and the prices were always good. Because of those Internet celebrities, fruit merchants took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the opportunity, which caused panic among local fruit farmers… So last year, the local pomegranate price fell to the lowest price in recent years. However, the government quickly came out to punish those Internet celebrities who spread rumors… They not only spread rumors, but also sold fake products. It was clearly stated on the Internet that they were pomegranates from Spring City, but after investigation, the pomegranates they purchased in Spring City were only a few thousand catties, but they sold hundreds of thousands of catties.

Fruit sellers who sell miserably on the Internet can sometimes really harm a production area.

“The pomegranates in Spring City are so expensive?” Tang Xun asked.

“Expensive is expensive, but their quality is good. The worst pomegranates are much better than here.” Ye Mo said.

Ye Mo’s understanding is a bit one-sided, there are also cheap pomegranates in Chuncheng, one piece is more than 1 catty, and two yuan is more than 1 catty.

Fruit…you get what you pay for wherever you go.

For example, if you sell a large box for ten yuan on the Internet, the fruit you get will never be the fruit you see in the video.

Good fruit, the cost is there.

“What you said made my heart itch.” Tang Xun said with a smile.

After unloading, proceed to the orchard to load.

The three of Lin Xiaomian and the others were in charge of wrapping and framing the fruit, but they couldn’t keep up with their parents’ progress.

Ye Mo and the others transported the fruit, and after ten o’clock, they caught up with their progress of framing. Then I helped to put the frame together…

I was only responsible for transporting the fruit, Ye Mo felt that it was very relaxed and not tiring at all.

Parents and the others are just picking fruit, which is very easy. There is no need to carry, pick, or climb downhill… just pick the pomegranates and pour them on the ground.

But looking at Tang Xun and his family, it seems a bit overwhelming.

Picking fruit is much more tiring than planting fruit seedlings and installing drip irrigation.
