Alpine Orchard - Chapter 191

[Chapter 191 The Big Black Beauty]

The next day.

Ye Mo asked Mrs. Xiao Mian to help him invite more people to come up…

Not counting people from Ye Mo’s side, there were twenty people in total.

Some people helped to carry the watermelon, and some people cleaned the old vines of the watermelon.

Today’s “messy” melons are picked, more than a dozen varieties, most of which are ripe, most of which are mini watermelons. For example, Honey Bee Watermelon, Jinlinglong Watermelon, Crispy in the mouth, Huang Xiaoyu, Xiaolan Watermelon, Jingxiu 8424…

Now that the watermelons are ripe, except for a few iconic varieties, Ye Mo can now distinguish them. Ye Mo couldn’t even remember the names of the other watermelons.

Some watermelons are ripe, and some watermelons are not yet ripe.

Too many varieties is not a good thing.

For the watermelons here, Ye Mo also keeps some watermelons that look particularly beautiful, as seeds.

“Boss Ye.”

Ye Mo was picking out two baskets of watermelons when he saw Gao Yuan and Zhang Yuanqiao.

“I’m busy.” Zhang Yuanqiao said with a smile.

“Not much work today.” Ye Mo picked the watermelon into the shed, hugged a golden watermelon, and put it on the table: “Come and eat the watermelon.”

“This watermelon is very beautiful.” Zhang Yuanqiao said.

“The watermelons I grow are all beautiful.” Ye Mo smiled.

The two smiled, and each took a piece of watermelon…

The taste of the watermelon is not particularly sweet, but the sweetness of ordinary watermelon, with a lot of water and a good taste.

“What’s Boss Li’s price for these exquisite gold?”

“It’s still 5.5 yuan. The price for packing…” Ye Mo shrugged and said.

“Give me a few hundred later.” Gao Yuan said.

Ye Mo nodded.

Gao Yuan also wanted these watermelons in the box.

Each one weighed about three catties, and it was loaded into a truck for Gao Yuan, a van…with boxes, that is, more than 700.

Zhang Yuanqiao wanted to go to see his big watermelon, and Ye Mo accompanied him…

“How much is the biggest watermelon?”

“289 catties.” Ye Mo pointed to a watermelon in the middle of the greenhouse.

The watermelons here are pretty big. More than two hundred catties, it is estimated that there are fifty or sixty.

The ones that didn’t reach two hundred catties were almost two hundred catties.

“There are no three-hundred-jin watermelons.”

“Three-hundred-jin watermelons are not easy to cultivate.” Ye Mo said, “I have specially bred more than a dozen plants. It is estimated that they will mature in August and may grow to three hundred catties.”

It is not easy to grow to three hundred catties.

As far as the variety of watermelon is concerned, not to mention three hundred catties, it is not easy to grow it normally… to grow to one hundred catties.   Zhang Yuanqiao knocked on these watermelons and said, “How long is it before   they

are ripe?” smooth. But it is not yet ripe, and the surface of the melon skin is smooth, but not shiny.   ”Many of the watermelons I planted over there are already ripe. Some are hollow, and some have cracked in the greenhouse…” Zhang Yuanqiao looked at the big watermelon in front of him and said, “I’ll pick a few small ones for these melons. Go back and make decorations.”   Ye Mo nodded, helped to choose three best-looking melons, and helped to carry them to the car.   According to what I said before, 150-230 catties each, 20,000 yuan each.   Zhang Yuan picked the three smallest melons, estimated to weigh more than 180 catties.   ”These melons are cheaper for me. When these watermelons are ripe, I will pack them all according to the price I said before.” Zhang Yuanqiao said.

“It’s a sample, free delivery.” Ye Mo said with a smile.

Zhang Yuanqiao clasped his fists in both hands, laughed and said, “Boss Ye is very generous. I heard from Lao Gao that the watermelon here…is the wholesale price of 5.5 yuan?”

“Yes.”

“That’s not bad.” Zhang Yuanqiao looked towards the melon field.

“It’s quite possible…” The

two chatted for a while, and when Gao Yuan finished loading the car, they left.

The messy small watermelons were planted at about the same time, and they were all small watermelons, which were picked in two days.

A total of more than 7,000 plants.

Watermelons, which are smaller than Kirin watermelons, only have an output of 44 tons.

If it is Kirin watermelon, it should have an output of about 80 tons.

The output is low, and it works out… a loss of 36 tons. If they all grow unicorn watermelons, they can earn an extra 400,000 yuan.

The messy little watermelons rest for a few days after picking, and the remaining watermelons are not yet ripe. In the past few days, Ye Mo has been tidying up the melon fields, watering the watermelon vines, and watering some spiritual springs, so that the melon vines can recover faster.

Over time, more watermelons began to appear on the market, and the price dropped a bit compared to the previous period.

There are only three varieties left on Ye Mo’s side, Golden Beauty, Black Beauty, and Xinong No. 8. There are 13,000 plants for each variety…

Ye Mo’s previous watermelons were basically sent to the Guangzhou market. Although the price is high, the sales volume is very good.

Those ‘miscellaneous’ small watermelons sell better than the previous Kirin watermelons, especially some rare varieties.

Golden Beauty is also a rare breed.

Golden melon skin, red melon flesh…

the sweetness is not as good as that of Qilin watermelon, but the taste is almost the same.

If these golden beauties matured at the same time as the Kirin watermelon, the price would definitely be more expensive than the Kirin watermelon, and much more expensive.

But now, there are more watermelons on the market.

After Li Xuebin came to see the goods, he gave them a price of 5.1 yuan.

Gao Yuan’s quotation was 5 yuan… He didn’t want a lot of goods. After knowing that Li Xuebin had given him 5.1 yuan, he also added a dime and ordered 30 tons.

If you have money on hand, you don’t need to spend so much money, just hire people to pick and load it. Let uncle and the others rest for a few days…

Ye Mo just waits to load the car.

In just one day, the Jinmeiren watermelon was picked. A total of 163.77 tons were picked, worth 1.67 million.

Ye Mo calculated the income…

The miscellaneous watermelon before was more than 44 tons, 486,000.

Kirin watermelon has the largest planting area, earning 1.885 million yuan.

After Jin Meiren’s account is settled, there will be 4.041 million.

The latter two varieties of watermelon, Black Beauty… one plant and one melon.

It is estimated that there are 11,500 plants.

Those black beauties are beautiful, but they are a bit big.

What Ye Mo bought was obviously just an ordinary black beauty watermelon, and the individual weight was written on it as ‘7-9 catties’.

When the leaves are planted, each one weighs more than 17 catties, and the big ones… weigh around 20 catties.

I moved the electronic scales and weighed them in the past. I calculated the approximate average weight, and the average weight of each was about 18.3 catties.

This season, domestically produced Black Beauty watermelons are rare and expensive.

But there are imported ones, and the selling price on the Internet is about 7 yuan per catty. Of course, the black beauties sold online are definitely not as beautiful as Ye Mo’s here…

Another Xinong No. 8, a four-melon plant. This was originally an extra-large variety of watermelon, but two were left on each vine, and it was abruptly turned into a medium-sized watermelon… Each watermelon now weighs about 9 catties.

The fruit shape is beautiful.

However, this variety of watermelon itself is a large variety. Even if it does not grow particularly large, it still retains some characteristics of a large watermelon. That is the watermelon rind, which is thick and firm.

The Black Beauty watermelon is not yet ripe, and it may take three or four days.

The same is true of Xinong No. 8.
