Alpine Orchard - Chapter 182

[Chapter 182 The Crayfish Have Eggs]

had breakfast.

Lin Xiaomian drove the excavator.

Ye Mo checked the weather forecast, and today’s weather also showed that the next two days will be sunny.

A sunny day is the weather Ye Mo wants to see.

As the watermelon picking approached, Ye Mo became nervous instead.

Ye Mo remembered that at this time last year, there was extreme weather and the temperature dropped suddenly.

A few days ago, it was still in the thirties, and suddenly the temperature dropped to two or three degrees.

This batch of watermelons looks good, especially beautiful, but they didn’t fall into the bag, and my heart is still not at ease.

Ye Mo now has a huge family business, but he has no money in his pocket, so he only counts on those watermelons in the field.

After tidying up the kitchen, I rode my bike to the melon field, and first opened a watermelon to have a look.

The flesh of the melon is not yet red.

Yesterday it was white with red inside, and today it is red with white inside… The

watermelon is very sweet and full of water, but it is not ripe after all, and still has a little green taste.

“Is the watermelon ripe?” Dad rode over and asked.

“Five mature.” Ye Mo handed the watermelon to his father: “Dad, when these watermelons are sold, I will buy you a car.”

“What car to buy? I don’t even want to drive your pickup truck that was left on the mountain.” Papa Ye shook his head and said, “After selling these watermelons, build a beautiful house and marry me. That’s the real deal.”

“It’s inconvenient to drive a pickup truck, so I’ll buy you a scooter. Before Zhang Xia and Wang Yue said they wanted to buy a mini for transportation, I think it is quite good, as a transportation vehicle, it can protect you from wind and rain.” Ye Mo said: “Or what car you want, I will buy it for you.”

“How much can you sell these watermelons?” Papa Ye said: “When the watermelons are sold, don’t forget to give your second uncle, third uncle, Tang Xun, and Miss Xiaomian their wages. There is a helper It’s time, everyone will come over to get you watermelons, the construction period is not short.” After the

New Year’s Day, the seedlings will be raised, and then planted… During the Chinese New Year, Ye Mo went to Uncle Xiaomian’s, but the seedlings in the melon field were in a hurry to move. Planted out, the second uncle, the third uncle, Tang Ming and Wang Hao, their relatives didn’t go out, and they were here to help with the work.

The watermelon here is very beautiful. In addition to being watered with Lingquan, it is also watered with everyone’s sweat.

There are more than one hundred acres of watermelons, and dozens of acres of muskmelons and muskmelons. Calculated according to the size, one has to manage nearly ten acres.

Ye Mo nodded, and said, “I know, I remember construction days here.”

“How much can these watermelons sell for?

” One million.” Ye Mo said.

The price of watermelon will become cheaper in the future. How much it can sell for is hard to calculate, so I can only give a rough estimate.

Dad nodded, took a few mouthfuls of the unripe watermelon, and said with a smile: “Don’t worry, this watermelon is quite sweet. These watermelons can be sold for three million, which is also amazing… I knew that watermelons are so profitable, I used to know They should grow watermelons.”

“The price of watermelons only rose last year,” Ye Mo said.

“I know…” Papa Ye glanced at him and smiled: “Just to say.”

Last year, due to the general environment, the prices of all kinds of fruits increased.

In the past few years, watermelons cost a few cents per catty, and more than one yuan per catty. This is still the price of buying it in the town…

If it is the field price, it will be even cheaper.

The current watermelon also depends on the season. In summer, after June, the price of watermelons is not expensive. Last year, in Hongshan Town, watermelons sold by carts cost two yuan per catty. But those watermelons are just average. But even at this price, it is much more expensive than in previous years.

After sitting for a while, the father and son got up and carried the steel frame, and continued to build the awning.

Building an awning is easy and requires little effort.

In one morning, four awnings were built, plus one built yesterday, making a total of five awnings.

After lunch, Ye Mo came to the melon field to pick another watermelon, took a photo and sent it to Li Xuebin and Gao Yuan.

Afterwards, Li Xuebin called and said, “The watermelon is ripe.”

“Tomorrow, it should be able to be picked.” Ye Mo said.

“Okay, I’ll come and have a look tomorrow morning.” Li Xuebin said, “The first batch, 45 tons.”

“No problem.” After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuan also called.

“Quite busy.” On the phone, Gao Yuan said with a smile.

“I just got a call just now.” Ye Mo said, “A boss ordered 45 tons of watermelon here. There should be some left, estimated at about 10 tons… Do you want it?”

“How much? ”

The quotation given by the boss is about 5 yuan. The specific price will be inspected tomorrow, and the price will be determined after reading it.” Ye Mo said.

“About 5 yuan, the price of the field?” Gao Yuan scratched his head.

“Yes, our side is responsible for loading the trucks.”

“Okay, I’ll go and have a look tomorrow morning.” Gao Yuan was surprised that the price of 5 yuan was very high, and it was 45 tons at a time. In Huacheng, there are not many fruit merchants with such strength: “By the way, what’s the name of that boss?”

“Li Xuebin, Boss Li. You should know him.”

“He.” Gao Yuan was silent for a while, then said: “I know, we have dealt with each other before. All right, see you tomorrow.”

Gao Yuan, like Li Xuebin in the early years, purchased fruits in large quantities and then distributed them. This business is very competitive. In the early years, he competed with Li Xuebin for the share of mangoes in Dongmen Town, but he has never done it. As a result, I quit the bulk fruit purchase…and turned to the wholesale of high-quality fruit and rare fruit.

Gaoyuan’s market is mainly in Chengdu and Chongqing. Compared with Li Xuebin, the amount of travel is far behind.

Li Xuebin is one of the largest fruit distributors in Huacheng, with a wide range of businesses.

Li Xuebin is the big boss of the company, but his main responsibility is not sales, but looking for sources of goods. Li Xuebin said a word in the industry: fruit sales, supply is king. If you have a good source of goods, you don’t have to worry about spending money…

Li Xuebin’s company, in addition to selling by itself, also cooperates with several large e-commerce platforms. This cooperation is not to sell goods on it, but to supply the platform.

The year before last, the price of local mangoes suddenly skyrocketed because of a “four-year strategic agreement on the export of 700,000 tons of mangoes”, in which Li Xuebin’s company obtained a supply and marketing agreement of 50,000 tons.

Li Xuebin’s is a big company, and Ye Mo’s watermelons seem to be a lot, but to be honest, it’s not a big list for their company.

…

“Tomorrow, we will sell watermelons.” Ye Mo looked at the endless watermelon field, stretched his waist vigorously, and got on the bike…

The sun was shining, and after a while, the seat cushion of the car burned his buttocks.

Ye Mo came to the reservoir by bike.

The weather is hot, and the crayfish in the reservoir come out more and more frequently.

The number of crayfish in it is not particularly large. The winter here is not too cold. Throughout the winter, crayfish come out to move around.

Occasionally, when he was free, his uncle and the others would come to catch crayfish, and Ye Mo would also go down to the ground cage to catch some and eat them back.

More and less are just relative terms.

Now, some crayfish in the reservoir have begun to lay eggs.

Ye Mo got out of the ground cage, and with a net, hundreds of crayfish, you can see more than a dozen crayfish with eggs.

Ye Mo picked out the crayfish with eggs, and when it was dark, he caught more than two hundred crayfish with eggs, and then sent these crayfish to the small reservoir outside the house.

The aquatic plants in the small reservoir have also grown. The density of aquatic plants is higher than that of the big reservoir…

Last month, Ye Mo also threw a water condensation talisman into the small reservoir.

Condensation Talisman, the effect is amazing. Before putting in the water condensation talisman, the water in the small reservoir was still a bit cloudy. Only ten days later, the water quality became clear.

In winter and spring, there is little rainfall and strong sunshine… The water in the reservoir evaporates a lot.

In a small reservoir, the water level dropped by more than a drop of rice.

But in the big reservoir, the water level dropped by less than half a meter.

Before casting the Water Condensation Talisman, Ye Mo lived by the reservoir and felt the air was dry. But now, it is obvious that the air is much humid.

Water talisman is still very useful. But this thing is expensive…

a condensation talisman made of Lingyu. A piece of Lingyu was sold outside for several million. Condensation Talisman is equivalent to a long-term investment, and I hope it will not lose money.
