Alpine Orchard - Chapter 180

[Chapter 180 Boss Li]

After Gao Yuan and Guo Feng had left for a while, the deputy villager of the production team, Chen Shan… called.

“Hello, uncle.” Ye Mo shouted.

“Boss Li is coming soon, are you at home?”

“At home.” Ye Mo said.

“Do you want to go there?” Chen Shan said.

“Okay, thank you uncle.”

“Thank you so much, we are all family.” Chen Shan smiled and said, “I’ll be there right away.”

Ye Mo was next to the melon field, blowing on the air conditioner for a while.

Chen Shan came over first, and the two of them smoked a cigarette, and Boss Li also came over.

Boss Li is a big fruit merchant, and the scale of his company is one of the best in Huacheng.

The mangoes and pomegranates of the production team last year were bought by him…

According to Chen Shan, Boss Li has a big business and has a large storage base in Huacheng. In Chengdu, Guangdong and other regions, we also have our own warehouses.

Boss Li drove over in a dusty Volkswagen. At first glance, it looked like an ordinary Volkswagen. Look carefully…it was a Phaeton. Judging from the sound, it might be a V8 engine, or a W12 engine…

“Boss Li.” Chen Shan shouted with a smile when he saw the person coming.

“Mr. Li.” Ye Mo took out a cigarette and lit one for the two of them.

“Brother Chen, you can just call me Xiao Li. It’s very stressful to call me boss.” Boss Li said with a smile.

“Let me introduce you to Ye Qing’s son, Ye Mo.” Chen Shan said, “Boss Li, Li Xuebin.”

“Hello.” Li Xuebin looked at Ye Mo.

“Hello.”

Ye Mo also looked at him. Li Xuebin’s age should be in his forties, not fifty.

After entering the melon field, Li Xuebin looked at the watermelons carefully and said, “These watermelons are not bad.”

“Two bosses came to see them just now, and they said that when these watermelons are ripe, if they look the same, they will be premium melons.” Ye Mo Said.

Li Xuebin rubbed the stubble of his chin and nodded, “Is the watermelon not ripe yet?”

“Not yet.” Ye Mo took one off, cut it open, and handed half to Li Xuebin.

For the remaining half, he cut two knives and handed a piece to Chen Shan: “Although it’s not fully ripe, it tastes very sweet.”

“It’s only three or four ripe.” Li Xuebin said, looking carefully at the melon flesh.

The flesh of the melon pulp is very delicate, with no fibers visible…

He also studied the watermelon rind like Gao Yuan and the others.

“When I was in the fruit business, I was tricked by watermelons…” Li Xuebin smiled and said, “Watermelons are not easy to transport. I will be very careful when I start the watermelon business. When I collect watermelons, I only accept those with thick skin. Or resilient watermelons.”

This year’s watermelons are already on sale, and the market is particularly good.

Small fruit merchants bought watermelons and sent them to the nearest wholesale market. A truckload of more than ten tons of watermelons earned at least a few thousand profits. Some good watermelons can make a profit of tens of thousands per car…

If they are sent to Guangzhou, the profit will be even higher.

Now there are not many ripe watermelons, and there are even fewer high-quality ones.

For large fruit merchants, whether the watermelon is good or not depends on the toughness of the rind. The melon rind has good toughness and can be transported over long distances, and the storage period of such watermelons is also longer.

Of course, the taste of watermelon must also be good.

Watermelons are troublesome to transport, but there are too many troublesome fruits to transport. Those fruits are also sold

everywhere… walk around and see.

After wandering around the melon field for more than half an hour, I saw cantaloupe, netted melon…

“Watermelon in the greenhouse?” Li Xuebin was stunned when he saw a watermelon that was bigger than a big winter melon lying under the greenhouse.

A large watermelon that is more than one meter long is also more than half a meter high. The most important thing is the shape of the melon, which is particularly smooth and round.

“Specially bred big watermelon.”

“Eatable?”

Ye Mo smiled and said, “It’s definitely edible.”

“Last year… there were a few watermelons with a maximum weight of more than two hundred catties in our Flower City. Did you cultivate them? ” Li Xuebin asked.

It is difficult to grow such a large watermelon.

Li Xuebin also saw the video of Huacheng big watermelon on the Internet, and the appearance of those big watermelons is exactly the same as the one here.

“Yeah.” Ye Mo nodded.

“How much are these big watermelons?”

“More than 20,000 yuan.” Ye Mo said: “The watermelons here are basically reserved.”

“If they are not sold out and there are cheap ones, leave one for me.” Li Xuebin Talking into the shed.

The weather is hot. During the day, the perimeter of the greenhouse is lifted up, and some are lowered at night.

After seeing the rare super big watermelon, Li Xuebin went to the side and made a phone call. After chatting for a few minutes, he came back and said to Ye Mo, “How many are the first batch of ripe watermelons?”

“It should be more than 50 tons.”

“I want 45 tons. I will check the goods when they are ripe. If they can be packed in bulk, they will cost you 5 yuan per catty. If you can’t pack them in bulk… 4.5 yuan per catty.” Li Xuebin said: “Watermelon has a market price every few days, and a market price. ”

45 tons?”

“Well. If it can be packed in bulk, 45 tons will be transported in two trucks. If it can’t be packed in bulk, the transportation will be more troublesome. It’s just an approximate price. I’ll come and see when it’s mature.”

“Need to pick a melon?”

“Do you still need to pick your watermelons? They all look the same.” Li Xuebin said with a smile.   Ye Mo   smiled

and said, “Is it picked when it’s

seven or eight ripe ?” Ye Mo called his dad: “Dad, are you back?”   ”I’m back, I’m going to Hongshan Town right away,” Dad said.   Ye Mo hung up the phone, drove the small excavator over, and cleared a few places beside the watermelon field.   Not long after, Dad came over with a small truck, which was equipped with some light steel and woven sunshade nets.   Dig a few small holes in the ground, then stand up the light steel, and then fix the light steel with straps…   Ye Mo will build several awnings for watermelons.   The sunshade is very simple, and it doesn’t take long for a sunshade covering an area of several hundred square meters to be erected.   It will be dark.   Lin Xiaomian called: “Dinner is about to start, come over here quickly.”   ”Right now.” Ye Mo hung up the phone: “Dad, go over to eat.”   Today I am having dinner at my second uncle’s house.   Their orchard was fertilized with organic fertilizer, and Lin Xiaomian and Ye Ran drove the excavator to help loosen the soil. The excavation bucket was replaced with rake claws, and the soil on the surface was simply loosened, and then sprinkled with grass seeds mixed with organic fertilizer.   Apply organic fertilizer and plant grass.   The temperature is getting hot day by day. According to the situation in previous years, it usually starts to rain in late April, light rain. The rainy season starts after mid-May…   As I said before, there are advantages and disadvantages to planting grass in the orchard. It mainly depends on whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.

The fruit trees over there are not too small, but the soil fertility is thin. Last year, I gave a lot of organic fertilizer. I want to improve the soil, prevent soil erosion, and plant grass… It is also a good choice. More importantly, there are grass plants in the orchard, which can reduce the temperature in the orchard.
