Alpine Orchard - Chapter 185

[Chapter 185]

Everything is ready, let’s get started.

It’s past four and it’s hot.

Everyone entered the melon field, cut the watermelon and put it on both sides of the aisle.

The car cannot be overweight, so it only holds 23 tons.

400 plants per mu, 5 melons per plant, the yield per mu…about 11,000 catties.

23 tons, which is a little over 4 mu.

At first, I cut the melons by myself, and moved the watermelons to the side of the aisle. There are special people in the back who cut the watermelon, and the people in the back move the watermelon to the side of the aisle.

The people from Li Xuebin’s side also came to help carry the watermelon, which took an hour to complete the first step.

It was a bit hot in the afternoon, and everyone was sweating.

“Take a break and eat watermelon.” Ye Mo carried two watermelons into the awning, where a table was set up in advance.

Ye Mo cut up the watermelon.

Lin Xiaomian and Ye Ran also came in with a watermelon in their arms.

“It’s so hot.” Lin Xiaomian said.

“It should be easy for the few of you to transport watermelons by bike later,” Ye Mo said.

Lin Xiaomian nodded vigorously.

Wang Yue also walked over with a watermelon in her arms, took a piece of watermelon, and took a bite: “It’s so sweet.”

Dad and the others, including the workers from Li Xuebin’s side, also came into the shed.

“Eat watermelon whatever you want, don’t be polite.” Ye Mo cut eight watermelons in one go, and said, “If you don’t have enough, cut it again.”

After eating the watermelon, he sat down and smoked a cigarette, and then went into the melon field with a pole and a basket.

The melon fields in the front are close to each other, so they can be put in baskets and picked out.

These watermelons are very uniform in size, with an average weight of 5.5 catties, and the fruit shape is also very beautiful.

After weighing, start loading.

Picking started after four o’clock, and it was almost eight o’clock before loading was completed.

A total of 22.7 tons was installed, which is 249,700 yuan.

After the weight was reported to Li Xuebin, he then transferred the account to Ye Mo, directly transferring 250,000.

Lin Xiaomian and the others went home after six o’clock to prepare dinner. They were too busy today, so they didn’t prepare crayfish.

In the evening, there are stewed pig’s trotters, roasted chicken with potatoes…   Tang

Xun opened a few bottles of beer and looked at Ye Mo: “Do you work overtime at night?”

“Come early tomorrow.” Ye Mo said: “Start at six o’clock tomorrow morning.”

, Ye Mo gave the watermelon seeds to Madam Xiao Mian: “These seeds can be sown directly without grafting, and the watermelons that grow will be smaller.”

“Grafting with gourds?” Niu Youde asked.

“Gourd seeds, Xiao Mian has placed an order online. They will be delivered in two days…Watermelon seedlings are raised two days first, and gourds are two days later.” Ye Mo said: “Have you found the watermelon field, digging Can the machine be driven over? If it can be driven over, the truck will be installed tomorrow, and I will drive the excavator over to dig the field for you.”

“The melon field has been found.”

“What about the fertilizer? When the field is turned, the fertilizer can be poured In the field…”

“The fertilizer is not ready yet.” Niu Youde said: “How much fertilizer do you need to plant 500 plants per mu?”

“Big watermelon eats a lot of fertilizer. For one mu, you need to prepare about 5 tons of organic fertilizer. Among them, 3 Tons of fertilizer can be used as soil fertilizer, and manure can also be used instead… 2 tons can be used as base fertilizer. It is the fertilizer given when planting watermelons. We also need to prepare some bulking fertilizer.” Ye Mo said: “I will write you a list.” Ye

Mo The watermelon fields in Mexico are given an average of 6 tons of organic fertilizer per mu. When turning the soil, use 4 tons of organic fertilizer per mu. When planting, more than 1 ton of base fertilizer per acre… additional fertilizer was added for fruit setting. It is almost 6 tons per mu.

After sending everyone away.

Ye Mo stretched, and went upstairs to take a shower…

Lin Xiaomian was lying on the bed, chatting with her mother on the phone: “The watermelon has started to sell.”

“You want us to come and help?”

“Are you free?”

“Available.”

“Then come here, it’s too annoying to ship watermelons.”

“Okay, we’ll go there tomorrow afternoon.”

Xiao Mian’s mother had already hung up the phone.

“I called my parents to come over and help with the work.” Ye Mo lay down on the bed and took Lin Xiaomian into his arms.

“My parents finished their work on the construction site, so they are resting at home.” Lin Xiaomian said.

“Yeah.” Ye Mo was a little tired today, he lay down and didn’t want to move.

“How much did you sell today?”

“250,000.”

“So much…”

“It’s okay.” Ye Mo smiled: “Our big house is settled. Go to bed early and stop playing with your phone. I have to get up early tomorrow.”

“Yeah.” Lin Xiaomian obediently put down the phone.

Ye Mo set the alarm clock, and the next day…

Ye Mo got up after five o’clock, went downstairs to cook noodles, and then went to the melon field with Lin Xiaomian.

Lin Xiaomian cut off the watermelon, and Ye Mo carried the watermelon to the side of the aisle.

It was getting dim, and the third uncle and his family came first, followed by… Ye Mo’s parents also came.

Second Uncle and Tang Xun also came here very early.

After six o’clock, Ye Mo and the others cut all the watermelons and began to transport them.

Ye Mo called Boss Li: “Hey, Mr. Li…”

“Huh?”

“Can the car go on a floor scale? It’s too troublesome to weigh alone.” Ye Mo said.

“Of course you can.” Li Xuebin smiled and said, “If you are willing to use the floor scale, we will use the floor scale.”

“Well, we will use the floor scale. It is too troublesome to weigh each basket.”

“You said it earlier. I I thought you didn’t want to take the weighbridge…” Li Xuebin said.   ”When the car

passes the weighbridge, just ask the driver to make a video call to me, and I’ll just take a look.” Ye Mo said, “It’s too tiring to weigh alone.

”

Go to the pergola and place it on top of the straw.

After eight o’clock, the truck came, Ye Mo and the others assigned some people to help load the truck, and the rest continued to transport the watermelons…

After nine o’clock, everything was done.

Ye Mo followed the driver to the weighbridge.

There is no weighbridge in Hongshan Town, only near the intersection of the highway.

The weight of the weighbridge is 23.2417 tons, and the head and tail are cut off… 255,600 yuan.

Qian, Ye Mo called him on the way back.

When we got home, everyone had already prepared lunch and started eating.

“I’m not waiting for you.” Tang Xun said.

“What are you waiting for me?” Ye Mo said with a smile, picked up his rice bowl, and ate standing up: “After four o’clock in the afternoon, there are still more than ten tons.”

“Don’t worry.”

After four o’clock in the afternoon, Gao Yuan personally Come and watch the loading.

The car is still on the weighbridge.

Xiao Mian’s parents also came over. It was only after six o’clock after more than ten tons of watermelons were loaded.

Ye Mo said: “Mr. Gao, I won’t go and look at the weighbridge. After the weight comes out, you can just send it to me.”

Gao Yuan smiled and nodded: “I like to meet people like you when I do business.”

” The next batch of watermelons can be picked one after another. How much do you want for the next batch?”

“How much does Li Xuebin want?”

“He can eat as much as he wants.” Ye Mo said.

“Then give it to him first. I don’t have much business here. If there is any leftover, please notify me to come and install it. As for the price, I will pay as much as he gives.” Gao Yuan took Ye Mo’s cigarette with a smile and lit it. : “But you have netted melons, cantaloupes. Especially netted melons, you have to leave them all to me. The price for netted melons is definitely better than Li Xuebin’s.”

“Okay.” Ye Mo smiled, looking at Tang Tang. Xun and Chen Chen were going to catch crayfish, Ye Mo stopped them: “Why are you going?”

“Go to the reservoir to take a bath, what are you doing?” Tang Xun said.

“I still have work here, don’t run away.”

“After the car is installed, I will go back.” Gao Yuan said.

“Let’s stay and have dinner.”

“After we go back, we will arrange to load those watermelons into the car. I have to go and watch the car pass the weighbridge…”

“That’s good.” Ye Mo said: “My dad and the others are in the reservoir. Catch crayfish, you can take some back by the way. Let me tell you, my crayfish are big, fat, and delicious.”

“Hahaha…OK.”

Ye Mo took out his phone and called his father , Ask Dad to pack some crayfish for Boss Gao.
