Alpine Orchard - Chapter 190
[Chapter 190 Hard work pays off]
evening.
The watermelon field in Gaoshanping filled another cart of watermelons, Ye Mo took out his phone and looked at it…
A third money transfer came in a text message.
Counting the truckload of watermelons that were just filled, four truckloads were loaded today.
Each car of watermelon is about 23 tons, worth about 250,000 yuan.
Ye Mo shouted: “There is the last car. Let’s rest for a while, and then cheer up.”
“Take a break.” Liu Bin pulled his clothes, fanned the wind, and sat down on the side of the road.
Ye Mo picked up two baskets of watermelons and came to the side of the road. Seeing the workers at Li Xuebin’s side, he shouted, “Master He, take a break and come eat watermelons.”
Master He and the others also put down their work and came over.
“Everyone do it yourself, you are welcome.”
At this time, everyone was very tired and no one spoke.
Ye Mo came over to Ye Ran, Zhang Xia, and Wang Yue, handing over the watermelon, and said: “After eating the melon, you all go back to cook. Can you make dinner for thirty people?”
“It’s not a big problem.” Yue said: “My mother has brought the child back, and I can help.”
“It’s so hot.” Ye Ran sat next to Chen Chen: “Tired?”
“Not tired.” Chen Chen shook his head.
Ye Mo looked at Chen Chen and smiled.
This scene reminded Ye Mo of the days when he went to Lin Xiaomian’s house to thresh millet…
Ye Mo ate half of a watermelon, asked Tang Xun to get a cigarette and lit it, and was about to call Lin Xiaomian when she rode over. Handed the bought cigarettes to Ye Mo: “Haven’t you finished?”
“There’s another car.” Ye Mo took the cigarettes, opened them… and handed a pack to each of the men present.
In the morning, Wang Yue’s mother helped to buy vegetables, but she forgot to buy cigarettes.
Lin Xiaomian also took the watermelon and ate it: “About what time can I call it a day?”
“Before eight o’clock, I should be able to call it a day.” Ye Mo said.
Picking started at 3:00 this afternoon. There are still a lot of watermelons piled up in the awning…
If you pick them, you can finish the work in half an hour, and then they will be loaded into the car.
“Have you cleared the fields over there?” Xiao Mian’s mother asked.
Lin Xiaomian said: “When I came back just now, it was almost finished there.”
Lin Xiaomian drove the excavator to help clear the weeds in the barren fields. In the afternoon, Mrs. Xiao Mian invited a person to dig the soil. That is, the owner of the small tractor that Ye Mo borrowed…
ate watermelon, smoked a cigarette, and continued to work.
There are not many unicorn watermelons left.
Ye Mo still reserved 30% of the field for the unicorn watermelon here…
After all, it is watermelon irrigated by the Lingquan, save some seeds, if you want to plant watermelons next year, these are high-quality seeds.
All the watermelons were delivered near the conveyor, half of the people helped to load them, and the rest left.
The last truckload of watermelons should only be about 20 tons. There are many people loading the truck, and there are three conveyor machines. It didn’t take long for the truckload to be finished…
Ye Mo called Li Xuebin: “Hey, Boss Li.
” Huh?”
“The watermelons are finished.” Ye Mo said, “There won’t be too many watermelons to pick tomorrow, so you can ask the car to come over in the afternoon. In the morning, we’ll pick the watermelons and put them in the awning, and come here in the afternoon to pack them.”
“Okay. There are still two payments. I’ll call you tomorrow morning, okay.”
“Okay.”
These watermelons have already received 1.39 million.
Counting labor, fertilizer, etc., after paying back the cost… already earned.
Ye Mo is not someone who has never seen money. When he was the richest, he had more than 20 million in his bank account.
But the money came so easily… It didn’t come from his hard work, so it didn’t seem so real.
Ye Moxin earned the money now.
Even if there is a spiritual spring, it is not easy to cultivate these watermelons. This is more tiring and more things to worry about than Ye Mo used to move furniture.
But now the reward for hard work… This so-called hard work is nothing.
After this year’s hard work, I have capital, and if I want to do something in the future, I can hire people. Even Ye Mo was thinking, should he hire an orchard manager for Gao Shanping?
Doing everything by myself is too tiring and a bit overwhelming.
Despite the fact that there are only two hundred acres of melon fields, there are indeed many things to do.
Ye Mo doesn’t know how to manage melons and fruits, that is to say, there is a spiritual spring. However, if melons and fruits are planted in a large area, Lingquan is also an auxiliary function. To be able to grow top-notch and beautiful watermelons, Ye Mo also cared about the management of the melon fields.
Just like the yin and yang side of a watermelon, if the watermelon lying in the field is not turned over in time, even if there is a spiritual spring… the side that is not exposed to the sun will show a different color.
Flipping about 200,000 watermelons is not a small amount of work.
Planting these watermelons, Ye Mo himself was exhausted, and he also exhausted the people around him.
When I got home, dinner was ready and the table was set.
Mainly bacon, sausage.
Fortunately, I bought one and a half big fat pigs last year, and I can cook some bacon every day. Cooking bacon is the easiest. When cooking bacon, some dishes can be cooked in it…
there is bacon every day.
These bacon taste very good, but not tired of eating.
Ye Mo and the young people are at the same table, uncle and the others are at the same table, mother and aunt are at the same table…
Uncle and the others had the most lively table, drinking wine and eating meat, and started bragging.
Aunt and the others didn’t know what they were talking about at the table, and there was laughter from time to time.
When Ye Mo and the others sat at the table, they seemed a little bored.
Picking watermelons is more tiring than managing the time you are used to. Everyone is exhausted physically and mentally…
Ye Mo looked at Tang Xun and Ye Zhi who were silent: “What’s wrong with you, you don’t talk.”
Ye Zhi looked at Ye Mo and said, “I think it’s a waste of land for you to plant durians. Yes. The density of durians is too small, you can consider clearing two or three hundred acres of land to plant watermelons exclusively.”
Ye Mo drank a bowl of wine: “Planting watermelons is too much trouble, so I don’t even want to plant them.”
“If you don’t want to plant them, then you still keep the seeds ?” Tang Xun said.
Ye Mo smiled and said: “You still need to keep some seeds, it’s not easy to cultivate those watermelons. If you are short of money in the future, you can plant them again.”
Tang Xun gave Ye Mo a thumbs up: “You are awesome.”
Ye Mo The seeds left are intended to be planted in small quantities in the future… to keep the high-quality seeds.
Just like the super big watermelon in the greenhouse, Ye Mo will also keep some seeds, and continue to cultivate with Lingquan next year… These seeds may get better and better.
There are lazy watermelon seeds on the market. Those seeds do not need to be grafted, have good disease resistance, and are particularly easy to survive. That kind of lazy watermelon is said to be particularly easy to grow…
Ye Mo has never bought lazy watermelon seeds, but he wants to try.
For example, most of the big watermelon seeds saved last year were given to Madam Xiao Mian, and Ye Mo also kept some. There are more than a dozen seeds, and Ye Mo is raising seedlings. There are still some left, which are directly sown in the vegetable garden in the backyard. They don’t plan to manage it, and they don’t water the Lingquan to see how it will grow.
Anyway, if these batches of melons are sold out, Ye Mo will have money. If the time later is not particularly necessary, Ye Mo can save more spiritual springs if he doesn’t want to make himself so tired.
