Alpine Orchard - Chapter 188

[Chapter 188 Messy…Little Good Melon]

Yemo took the flashlight and car keys, Lin Xiaomian chased them out, and went out with Ye Mo.

To raise two crops of melons, after the first crop of melons is harvested and the old vines are cleaned up, the melon field must be irrigated, and enough water should be given at one time to wake up the vitality of the melons and vines.

“Tomorrow’s melon is still five yuan and five yuan. Doesn’t that mean that just one unicorn melon will earn more than one million yuan?” Lin Xiaomian sat in the passenger seat, turned on the interior lights, and asked.

“Yeah.” Ye Mo nodded with a smile, “About 1.8 million.”

Lin Xiaomian opened his mouth, 1.8 million… He has never seen so much money in his life.

When they came to the reservoir, Lin Xiaomian helped to turn on the flashlight, and Ye Mo connected the hose to the water pump.

The pumping station is more than sixty meters away from the nearest watermelon field.

The pumping station uses a high-power high-lift pump with a large water output. Using this pump to irrigate the melon fields can be done in an hour.

Connect the water pipes to the melon fields, there are dug ditches here…

Tonight there is a crescent moon and the sky is bright with stars.

Helping to connect the water pipe to the side of the melon field, Lin Xiaomian trotted back and turned on the electric switch. Ye Mo could hear the sound of the water pump from a long distance away. After a while… a large stream of water sprayed out from the water pipe.

This irrigation needs to saturate the soil. Ye Mo holds the water pipe to moisten the soil around the melon vines, and more importantly, the ditches, pouring in water.

As for water and fertilizer, after the new vines of the melon vines grow.

In the past, a lot of organic fertilizers were given. During the watermelon expansion period, Ye Mo gave cake fertilizers, organic fertilizers…there is still a lot of organic fertilizers in the soil, and compound fertilizers and urea fertilizers will be used in the future.

The water output of the water pump is particularly large, and it can pump more than 20 tons of water in an hour.

It hadn’t rained here for a long time, so it took a little longer to water the soil this time.

After watering the melon fields of more than ten acres, I went back and closed the sluice gate. The water pipes don’t need to be cleaned up, and they are left on the side of the road…I will use them later.

The stars at night are extraordinarily bright.

After finishing his business, Ye Mo picked up Lin Xiaomian with a smile and went back to the car.

The car has a panoramic sunroof, turn on the car’s ambient lights, and the atmosphere instantly becomes ambiguous.

It was not the first time for the two of them to be ambiguous in the car, Lin Xiaomian was still shy, her little face was red, she was really cute.

When I got home, Xiao Mian’s parents were already asleep.

When the two returned upstairs, Lin Xiaomian’s face was still red, and she was so ashamed.

…

the next day.

Lin Xiaomian is going to her aunt’s house to help…

Her aunt has found a few pieces of wasteland in the valley, and the wasteland is overgrown with weeds.

Because of the drought, those weeds are all withered and yellow.

Lin Xiaomian drove a small excavator to help clear the weeds…

As for the work of digging the soil, after the weeds are cleared, just drive the tractor there.

Just a few acres of land, it should be done in one day.

Ye Mo and the others went to the melon field after breakfast, picked watermelons, and cut melon vines.

Xiaomian’s eldest lady and uncle also came.

Cleaning up the weeds in the wasteland, digging the soil…these things involve machines, and they just watch from the side of the field. They can’t help much, so they come over and continue to help pick watermelons…

there are more than 30 people picking watermelons today .

Li Xuebin came over in person and brought some people to help load the car.

The temperature is low in the morning, and the picked watermelons are directly loaded into the truck.

Usually, watermelons picked in the evening are sweeter. But if the maturity is enough, picking in the morning and evening is similar.

Everyone is busy picking watermelons.

Li Xuebin went over to look at Jin Linglong and Jin Meiren.

Jin Linglong only has 2 acres. These watermelons have yellow skin and red flesh. They are very small… Each one is estimated to be only about 3 catties. But the shape is very beautiful, as far as the breed is concerned, the shape is perfect.

These watermelons grown in Yemo are very beautiful in appearance.

Li Xuebin knocked on these watermelons and found a ripe one, which was still very ripe. I guess it was about eight or nine years old…

He flicked it lightly, and there was a bang bang sound. With a little force, the skin of the melon burst open.

The inside of the melon is just ripe, darker than Qilin melon that is seven or eight mature.

Ye Mo grows many small varieties of watermelons here. These small watermelons can be picked now. There is also this golden exquisite, which can be picked in the evening.

Li Xuebin walked out of the melon field with the watermelon in his arms, and tasted it…

the taste is not as sweet as the Qilin melon, but the taste is very good. The entrance is crisp and sweet…

The skin of this variety of watermelon is very thin, even thinner than that of Qilin melon.

Li Xuebin walked up to Ye Mo while eating watermelon: “Boss Ye…”

“Hey.” Ye Mo turned his head.

“These golden exquisite watermelons, as well as rare varieties such as small bees, need boxes when loading them into cars. The skin of the melons is too thin, and when the time comes to pack them, I will trouble you a bit more.” Li Xuebin said with a smile.

“Pack it in a box, there’s nothing to trouble you about.” Ye Mo said.

Li Xuebin smiled and said, “Jin Linglong packs together with other small watermelons, 5.5 yuan… How about it?

” It’s a friend, so it’s hard to refuse.”

Li Xuebin nodded: “It’s okay. The remaining small watermelons will be packed and delivered to me. I won’t come here tomorrow, but I will still send a few people to help with the loading. For lunch, Can you help me out.”

“It’s fine for everyone to eat together, no problem.”

Li Xuebin smiled, thought for a while, and said, “The miniature melons you planted, some varieties are more expensive. But, the varieties are too messy, so I will give you a package price.”

“Which varieties are more valuable?” Ye Mo bought 4 watermelon varieties, but the watermelon varieties given as gifts… more than a dozen.

Ye Mo really doesn’t know which varieties are more expensive.

“Jin Linglong is more expensive. If it is in Yunnan, where there are more merchants who accept watermelons… Jin Linglong of your grade should be able to reach 8 yuan.” Li Xuebin said: “It is more expensive and there are small gold with yellow skin and yellow flesh. Feng, black-skinned yellow-soiled melons… are all good, but they are too mixed, and there are not many varieties.”

“Those small-scale planted watermelons are seeds given away. I originally bought four varieties, and gave me more than a dozen. A variety of watermelon.” Ye Mo smiled.

“Hahaha… that’s it.”

After chatting with Ye Mo for a while, Li Xuebin said goodbye and left.

Ye Mo planted a lot of messy watermelons, but they were all very beautiful, especially some very small watermelons, each weighing about 2 catties, or just over 1 catty. The fruit shape of those watermelons is very beautiful, and even in the local area, they can be sold at a high price.

Qilin watermelon is 5.5 yuan per catty, the price is indeed a little high, but those messy little watermelons from Yemo are not expensive at 5.5 yuan. Even if you look for those ‘bulk dealers’, you can sell them at a good price.
