Alpine Orchard - Chapter 224

[Chapter 224 Big Watermelon Order]

Ye Mo called his uncle and the others to help.

Chen Chen and the others also put down what they were doing and ran over to take a look.

There are two particularly large watermelons inside, which are obviously larger than other watermelons.

Father Ye, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Eldest Uncle worked together to lift the watermelon onto the scale.

One of them was 303 catties, just over 300 catties.

Zhang Yuanqiao was in pain and joy.

That is to say, if you just exceed the threshold of 300 catties, you have to pay an extra 50,000 yuan.

The other one looked about the same size, but only weighed 298.7 catties. The difference is only 1 catty and 3 taels, which means a loss of 50,000 yuan.

Zhang Yuanqiao patted his chest, thinking: No loss, no loss…

27 watermelons under 230 catties. 20,000 yuan each, 540,000 yuan.

33 watermelons under 260 catties. 30,000 yuan each, 990,000 yuan.

17 watermelons weighing less than 300 catties. 50,000 yuan each, 850,000 yuan.

1 watermelon over 300 catties. 100,000 yuan each…

the total should be 2.48 million yuan.

However, there are some watermelons inside, which Ye Mo thinks are hollow.

Obviously it looks big, but the corresponding weight is wrong.

These watermelons were not loaded directly into the truck, but were sent to the reservoir to get the watermelons into the water.

A solid watermelon will float on the surface of the water, but only a little bit of the exposed part of the water.

Through flotation, Ye Mo judged that 16 watermelons were hollow, and 11 of them were watermelons selected from winter melon seedlings as rootstocks. There are 4 pumpkin seedlings as rootstocks… and 1 gourd seedlings as rootstocks.

Ye Mo opened one, 223 catties, and the part that surfaced was obviously a little bit more than the others.

After opening it, there was indeed a gap of a cross in the center of the watermelon. There are not many hollow ones…the

melon pulp is not bad, and the sweetness is quite high.

“This watermelon is hollow, so the other 15 must be hollow too.” Ye Mo said.

“It’s a pity.”

There were 16 hollow melons. Fortunately, the two largest melons were not hollow.

However, 8 melons weighing less than 300 catties were hollowed out.

Eight melons under 260 catties were empty. That’s 720,000 yuan…

Tang Xun and his family’s house only cost that much when it was installed, which is equivalent to a house.

The remaining 15 melons that Ye Mo wanted to destroy were stopped by Li Xuebin and Zhang Yuanqiao.

“Such a big watermelon, even if it is hollow, is still valuable. If you don’t want it, give it to us.” Li Xuebin said.

“Boss Li, you are not authentic. These are obviously the watermelons I ordered. Even if they are hollow, they belong to me.” Zhang Yuanqiao said.

Li Xuebin chuckled: “You don’t want that much, so give me a few.”

Ye Mo hesitated, and said, “I have to put hollow labels on these watermelons, and they can only be exhibited.”

“I know ” Zhang Yuanqiao nodded: “These watermelons of mine are for events, and I have to open them on the spot. If they are hollow, it is not to smash your own signboard.”

This year’s super big watermelon could have been sold for 2.48 million yuan, because The hollow ones only earned 1.76 million yuan.

Compared with 1.76 million yuan and 2.48 million yuan, there is still some gap.

Leaving Zhang Yuanqiao for lunch, everyone went back to rest, and Ye Mo stopped Madam Xiaomian: “Madam, I have received an order for a big watermelon. Now I am going to buy watermelon and plant fish fry. It is a bit too late. Can you give me some of your seedlings?”

“Okay, how much do you want?”

“800 plants.” Ye Mo said.

“That’s a lot.” Ms. Xiao Mian still nodded, she had about 2200 seedlings, 800 were given up, and there were 1400 more.

Besides, these seeds were all sent by Ye Mo… Ye Mo opened his mouth, and he couldn’t help but give it.

“I only need 400 watermelons for this batch of orders. I brought back 800 seedlings to prepare to cultivate more seeds for next year.” Ye Mo continued: “In addition, the price of watermelons over 100 catties is 10 yuan per catty. You Have you reclaimed 4 acres of land over there?”

“Yes.” The lady nodded.

“The rest of the seedlings, you spread out and plant some. 350 plants per mu will be fine. When the melon vines start to grow and the watermelon expands, I will prepare some trace element water-soluble fertilizers for you to make the watermelon grow as much as possible. When the watermelons are ripe, I will ask Boss Li and Gao to help them sell them. The price can reach at least 5 yuan per catty between 100 and 150 catties. The average price of 150 to 200 catties can reach 10 yuan. More than For 200 catties, the price can reach more than 15 yuan per catty.” Ye Mo said.

The larger the quantity, the cheaper the price will be. Ye Mo didn’t dare to tell them too much…

The 400 large watermelons he received required more than 200 catties each. The price starts at 20 yuan per catty. If it happens to be 200 catties, then it will be 20 yuan per catty. If it is 217 catties, it is 21.7 yuan per catty… 231 catties per catty is 23.1 yuan per catty.

If it reaches more than 270 catties, it will be calculated separately.

Still very good. 400 watermelons, at least 1.6 million yuan.

Summer is coming soon, with high temperatures and a lot of rain, so it doesn’t take much effort to plant these big watermelons. So, this order can be accepted. Anyway, in the following time, Ye Mo’s main energy will be on the melon field, and there will be hundreds of more plants, which is just a matter of incident.

The price Ye Mo told Mrs. Xiao Mian was already a relatively low price, and it would definitely be sold.

Madam Xiao Mian also nodded happily: “Okay, we will manage those watermelons carefully this year.”

“Tell us more about how to manage them.” Uncle Xiao Mian was also listening, and said.

Ye Mo nodded: “When the watermelon is planted, I will tell you how to manage it… In addition, the cultivation of large watermelons is a secret, so you can’t tell others. Only a small quantity of large watermelons can be sold at a high price. If there are many It may be cheaper than the twenty or thirty catties of watermelon.”

“We know.” The uncle said, “The watermelon seedlings will be planted in two days.”

“Okay. By the way, how much organic fertilizer do you prepare? ”

Part of the organic fertilizer has been given away. There are still 4 tons left.”

“4 tons of organic fertilizer is not enough. If you want to specialize in cultivating super-large watermelons, you must have enough materials for the organic fertilizer. Let’s buy another 6 tons. I also want to buy organic Fat, by the way, help you transport it back.” The

two nodded.

These watermelons, if they grow them themselves, are not sure that they will grow to a hundred catties.

But with Ye Mo’s guidance, it will definitely work. He has already grown three hundred catties of watermelon.

If it’s just 40 to 50 catties of watermelon, it’s not bad if you can sell it for 1 yuan per catty. But when it comes to a hundred catties, the price will increase five times…

If there are one thousand large watermelons of one hundred catties, each is 500 yuan, and one thousand is 500,000 yuan.

Watching Madam and the others leave, Lin Xiaomian walked over: “What are you talking about with Madam?”

“Boss Li’s client needs a batch of big watermelons.” Ye Mo said, “I asked Madam and they asked for 800 yuan. A melon seedling.”

“Oh.” Lin Xiaomian nodded: “The big watermelon order, can you give some to the lady.”

“I can grow a super big watermelon because I used a nutrient solution I prepared myself.” Ye Mo said, “When I make the nutrient solution, I will send some to the aunt and the others so that their watermelon can also grow to the size of More than 100 catties.” Ye Mo smiled and pinched Lin Xiaomian’s face, and said, “Mr. Li only has 400 customers, and they are more than 200 catties. Make nutrient solution for the aunt and the others, and those watermelons grow to 100 catties There is no big problem with the above. When the time comes, we can ask Mr. Li and the others to help with the sales…”

Lin Xiaomian nodded with a smile, “Thank you.”

“What are you talking about. Go upstairs to rest soon, and pick melons in the afternoon.” Ye Mo Then, he called the fertilizer dealer and ordered 30 tons of organic fertilizer and 1,000 catties of urea. Urea, nitrogen fertilizers… are the most common fertilizers. There are also some potassium and phosphate fertilizers.

afternoon.

Uncle and the others continued to pick melons.

Ye Mo turned on the excavator, found a flat place in the durian grove, and turned the soil out…

After three o’clock in the afternoon, the fertilizer was delivered, and the organic fertilizer was applied to the soil first, from the whole area. Then give a lot of organic fertilizer around the planting point of the melon seedlings…
