Alpine Orchard - Chapter 179

[Chapter 179 Beautiful Watermelon]

Go into the melon field.

The melon field on Yemo’s side has a loose planting density, but the melon vines are growing very well, and there are many watermelons left, which gives people the feeling of high-density planting.

When breeding, there are more than 6,000 melon seedlings per day. There are about 4,000 watermelons and more than 2,000 cantaloupe.

As for the netted melon, it is the last to raise seedlings alone.

The ones that are about to mature are the more than 4,000 watermelons.

Although the area of the melon field is large, it matures in batches. The time difference before and after seedling raising is about half a month, and the watermelon ripening time is different…

Kirin watermelon is the first to be planted, and it will mature in batches in two or three days. But it will probably take a month to finish harvesting the watermelons.

Ye Mo bought 4 watermelon varieties, Kirin, Golden Beauty (yellow skin and red heart), Black Beauty, and Xinong No. 8. Ye Mo bought a lot of seeds, and ordered them in the physical store. When they were delivered, they also gave some other varieties as gifts.

Just like Jin Linglong…

Jin Linglong is also a yellow melon with a red heart. Jinlinglong watermelon is smaller than Jinmeiren…

Jinlinglong, the shape of the fruit is more like a unicorn. As for the golden beauty, the fruit shape is like a goose egg, which is the same shape as the black beauty fruit.

There are also two very special species, Golden Bee and Little Bee.

Golden bee, the peel is golden yellow with vertical stripes. The little bee is very similar to the unicorn watermelon.

This kind of watermelon can be cultivated for multiple crops. Moreover, one plant can keep multiple watermelons…but this kind of watermelon is very small, with a maximum of about 3 catties.

The honeybee watermelon was planted on the seventh day, but it is about to mature.

Entering the melon field, Gao Yuan and Guo Feng took a closer look at the watermelons…

The shape and skin of the watermelons are very beautiful.

The melons and vines are also very healthy…

Guo Feng flicked the watermelons with his fingers, and by the sound, he knew they were not ripe yet.

“The fruit shape of the watermelon is very beautiful. Compared with the hanging melons in the greenhouse, it is not bad at all.” Gao Yuan said.

“Mr. Ye, can you cut some watermelons for us to see?” Mr. Guo said.

“No problem.” Ye Mo said: “The watermelons here are all planted at the same time, custom-made…the maturity is basically the same.”

Ye Mo randomly found three watermelons, and the watermelons here are all similar in appearance and almost the same size , as if carved out of a mold.

Gao Yuan took out a fruit knife and cut one.

The skin of the watermelon is very thin, but it doesn’t burst when you cut it…

Many thin-skinned watermelons, even if the flesh is not red (white and red), it is easy to burst when you cut it.

Some people say that watermelon will burst when cut with a knife.

Others said that it was too much bulking agent and various hormones.

In fact, there are many reasons for a watermelon to split with a knife. The main reason is that there is pressure in the melon…

These days, it is very normal to have pressure.

It’s normal for a watermelon that splits when you cut it with a knife. There are many reasons for this situation, but it doesn’t hinder eating.

The flesh of the melon is white and red, and the color is uniform.

Guo Feng took a sip, and the watermelon was not yet ripe, so it had a certain amount of sugar, and it tasted very sweet. Not bad compared to some fully ripe watermelons.

However, it is not fully mature yet, the taste is poor, and there is a slight green taste. The unique taste of unripe watermelon… The skin of the

watermelon is very thin, but it has toughness, that is, it has strength.

Gao Yuan flicked the other two watermelons vigorously, but they didn’t break…

More than 100 mu of watermelons, the area is very large, and it would take a lot of time to go through them all.

The two wandered around the watermelon field for more than half an hour, and then went to the melon field. The melon vines in the melon field are very lush, and there are melons hidden inside. These are emerald melons, and there are some other varieties…

mainly emeralds, and other varieties are donated seeds.

The size of the melons is almost the same, and the individual weight is estimated to be more than one catty. As far as this variety is concerned, it is a selected large fruit.

Finally, netted melons on the shelf.

For these netted melons, Ye Mo uses more spiritual springs, and the melons and vines grow the best. But because the melon vines are growing so well, they bloom late…and bear fruit late.

This situation is similar to Ye Mo’s cultivation of big watermelons.

“During this time, we were collecting watermelons from Yunnan.” Gao Yuan said, “It’s not that we went to the field to purchase them ourselves, but a special purchaser sent the watermelons to the wholesale market, and then we wholesalers went to negotiate prices.”

Gao Yuan During this period of time, something has happened, and it has been on Huacheng’s side.

Guo Feng has been to the watermelon growing areas in Yunnan, but… he went there and couldn’t get watermelons at all.

The price of this year’s watermelons is good, and they are reserved in the fields before they are ripe.

It cannot be said that the price of watermelons this year is good, but the amount of ripe watermelons is relatively small during this period.

Gao Feng looked at Ye Mo and said, “The watermelon in our market, the purchaser sent the watermelon here, and the wholesale price of the whole car today is 3.44 yuan.”

Ye Mo has a lot of watermelon here. As far as their strength is concerned, if the price is right, it’s no problem to eat them all…

“However, the price of watermelon is a few days. We’ll come and see when it’s ripe.”

“Okay.” The

two of them were also greatly shocked here . .

The watermelons here are so beautiful. Among the watermelons I have seen, only a few have a little bit of flaws.

The two got into the car and left Gaoshanping.

Gao Yuan said, “How about Ye Mo’s watermelon?”

“Special grade, first grade.” Guo Feng exhaled, and said, “That Ye Mo is also quite powerful. The lying melons in the field are even more beautiful than many hanging melons.

” He must be a good person.” Gao Yuan said: “How much is the watermelon sent to Guangdong now?”

For watermelon purchasers, they usually don’t talk about special grade, first grade, second grade and so on.

In summer, there are watermelons everywhere, and the price is usually not particularly expensive. But in different places, the price of watermelon is very obvious…

especially for those who have lived in big cities.

In previous years, a piece of watermelon in a small remote county cost more than one catty, or even a few cents per catty. But in big cities like Shenzhen, seven or eight yuan per catty of watermelon is considered a normal price.

The main reason for this is transportation. Secondly, the watermelons bought in big cities are basically perfect in shape.

There is such a saying: the best, all go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

For example, the best watermelons in Yunnan are basically sent to Guangdong for sale. That is to say, the so-called special grade, first grade… There is

not much difference between super grade watermelon and first grade watermelon. In most cases, there is no separate distinction between super and first class, but they are collectively referred to as “super class” or “first class”, which are similar.

The watermelon on their side, the watermelon with nearly perfect sensory index, is mainly sold to Guangdong, followed by Chengdu, Chongqing…

No matter whether it is watermelon or other fruits, or what, the best ones are sold more. big city. Big cities have high levels of consumption. So, many fruit merchants use cities to distinguish fruit grades.

“The purchase price of watermelons sold in Guangdong is basically more than 5 yuan. However, those watermelons can be resold in the production area…the price from Yunnan to big cities is about 6.5 yuan now.” Guo Feng said: “Ye Mo’s batch of watermelons is of good quality. You just observed the peel of the watermelons, right?”

Gao Yuan nodded, “Those watermelons are really good and can be transported for long distances. But just the two of us, we can’t eat that much.”

“It depends on whether Ye Mo can find a good dealer. If he can’t find a big dealer, he can only sell it loosely, and then we will lower the price.” Guo Feng said. Their channel in Guangdong is the fruit market, but they seldom do business there, mainly sending fruits to Chengdu and Chongqing for sale. The price should be lower, and it is impossible to give a particularly high price.
