Alpine Orchard - Chapter 299
[Chapter 299 Miss Xiaomian sells melons]
male workers were all brought over by Ye Mo.
When they came to Miss Xiao Mian’s melon field, everyone sat down to rest before Gao Yuan came over.
Niu Yougui picked a watermelon nearby, the smallest one weighed more than eighty catties: “Eat watermelon.” Niu Yougui shouted with a smile.
Niu Youde went over to help lift out the watermelons, each weighing more than eighty kilograms, it was so big that it was difficult for one person to hold it, so two people had to carry it.
Ms. Xiao Mian brought a knife and cut the watermelon.
The maturity of these watermelons is just right, they look about eight mature, and they haven’t been sanded yet.
Ms. Xiaomian and the others already know the price of these watermelons.
3 yuan, 2 yuan…
How should I put it, they have fantasized about selling these sky-high prices. Ten yuan per catty, twenty yuan per catty…
After all, who doesn’t like the sky-high prices for the things they grow.
At the current price, there is more or less a little gap in my heart, but I am still very happy.
Sand watermelons are sold in the wholesale market, and the wholesale price is only 1 yuan per catty. Those watermelons are relatively large, weighing thirty to forty catties each, which is very common. There are even forty to fifty catties…
In the fruit wholesale market in Huacheng, there are no watermelons that weigh more than a hundred catties.
There are hundreds of catties of watermelons here, and it is estimated that there are six hundred. If the quantity is small, it can be sold at a higher price.
However, if the quantity is too large, it is more difficult to sell at a high price.
The huge watermelon that Ye Mo sold at a sky-high price was a small quantity.
There are more than a thousand super big watermelons here… This amount is not bad. If there are more than ten thousand, tens of thousands, or more, even if it costs a few cents per catty, it may not be sold out.
3, 2, the price is also very good. All sold out, there are 2.78 million. The net profit is about 200,000 yuan.
These super big watermelons use a lot of fertilizer, and the management is also more troublesome. But in just a few months, earning 200,000 yuan… For ordinary rural families, they can wake up with a smile from their dreams.
Ms. Xiao Mian enthusiastically shared the watermelon with everyone.
The watermelon is super big, the flesh is full of water, and it tastes a little crunchy. The heart part of the melon is very sweet…
Everyone took the watermelon and ate it, which was very enjoyable.
“This watermelon is cool.” Zhou Yue laughed.
“There are more after eating.” Niu Yougui said with a smile.
Gao Yuan came over and shouted: “Ye Mo.”
“Hey.” Ye Mo raised his hand and said, “Come and eat watermelon.”
Gao Yuan laughed, trotted over, and said, “These watermelons should be packed in foam boxes Transport, go over and help unload the box.”
“Go over after we eat the watermelon.” Ye Mo said.
“Boss Gao, eat melon.” Niu Yougui brought over a piece of watermelon.
“Thank you.”
Gao Yuan came over alone, and Gao Yuan helped deliver the 50 watermelons Boss Liu asked for.
After eating watermelon, four people were sent to ride an off-road dump truck to help unload the foam boxes, and then loaded some foam boxes over.
The custom-made foam boxes are just for these big watermelons.
These boxes were custom-made by Li Xuebin. Otherwise, it would be difficult to send such a large watermelon to Guangzhou.
Started picking watermelons.
Li Xuebin picked and picked one by one…
“The appearance of this batch of watermelons is not as good-looking as the big watermelons you planted.” Gao Yuan said.
“It’s already pretty good.” Ye Mo said.
In appearance, it is indeed a little worse. But it’s been very good…
Ms. Xiaomian and the others are very attentive to the management of these watermelons. They also built ‘little houses’ and awnings for each watermelon.
These watermelons are too large, and if they are exposed to direct sunlight for a long time, the ripening of the watermelons will be accelerated, thereby shortening the expansion period of the watermelons. If the sun keeps shining and the temperature inside the watermelon is too high, it will easily lead to rotten melons, hollows, etc.
After all, the watermelon on their side does not often water the spiritual spring.
There are more than a dozen winter melon rootstocks in this melon field, and those dozen are obviously much larger, and they are estimated to be around 150 catties.
The wax gourd has a well-developed root system, which can attract nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium below five meters…
five meters may be a bit exaggerated, but the winter melon has a well-developed root system. Like sand watermelon, the rootstock of wax gourd is used.
The watermelon grafted from winter melon rootstock is bigger, but the shape of the watermelon…is close to the shape of a sand watermelon, which is not good-looking. The melon skin is not smooth…
Gao Yuan knocked these watermelons a few times, but they didn’t want them.
Watermelons grafted from wax gourd rootstocks are particularly prone to hollowing. Gao Yuan was not sure if the dozen or so particularly large watermelons were hollow.
Pick out 150 watermelons, put them in foam boxes and weigh them…
Although as for the 150 watermelons, they weigh 18,300 catties, and each catty costs 3 yuan, which is 54,900 yuan. After loading the car, Gao Yuan transferred the money to Niu Yougui
, and looked at Ye Mo: “When will your big watermelon be ripe?
”
Mo handed over a cigarette, and then another to Lin Shan and Niu Yougui.
Ye Mo nodded…
“Then I’ll go back first.”
With the watermelon loaded, it’s getting late.
Ye Mo looked at Niu Yougui: “Uncle, open a watermelon from a pumpkin rootstock and have a look.”
“Okay.”
I picked the biggest one, and it weighed only 141 catties.
“This watermelon feels hollow.” Lin Shan said, “It’s so big, it’s only 141 catties.”
“It’s possible…” When I
cut it open, it was indeed hollow.
“It’s the same management, so it’s hollow.” Niu Yougui took his younger brother to carry another one.
This one, obviously smaller, weighs 162 pounds.
“This melon should not be free.” Ye Mo said.
“Cut it open and have a look.” Lin Shan said with a smile, “After you cut it open, let’s try it.”
“Okay.” Niu Yougui smiled and opened the watermelon.
Opening a watermelon is like opening a treasure chest.
The watermelon here is super big, and selling watermelon has attracted many people to come and watch.
Including the workers on Ye Mo’s side, there were more than thirty people at the scene.
The watermelon is opened, the watermelon is not very ripe, it is about seven ripe…you can eat it.
One meter long machete, split the watermelon into a big piece for each person.
More than 30 people ate a watermelon and didn’t finish it.
Earlier, they opened a watermelon weighing more than eighty catties, and only ate half of it. The remaining cup was loaded into the car by Ye Mo and the others.
“Uncle, let’s go back first.” Ye Mo said. ”Okay.” Niu Yougui
said, “It’s very late today, I can’t be too busy… Tomorrow night I will host a reception at home, and invite everyone to dinner.
”
Ping, Ye Mo gave the watermelon to Master Liu and asked them to take it back to the staff dormitory to eat.
The workers haven’t left work yet.
Ye Mo drove the car to the shed area and told everyone to call it a day.
“How much did you sell your watermelon?” Lin Xiaomian asked.
“55,000.” Ye Mo said.
54,900, just one hundred yuan short, 55,000.
“150?”
“Yeah.” Ye Mo nodded and said, “It’s okay.”
Lin Xiaomian nodded, “Then the remaining watermelons are all sold out…”
“Should be able to sell for more than 200,000. The watermelons in the back It’s smaller, and it’s one yuan cheaper.” Ye Mo said: “This is already very good. The total area is a little more than three acres…”
Lin Xiaomian said with a smile: “For those watermelons, the big lady and the big uncle I ‘m almost nervous. After working so long, I finally feel relieved.”
Ye Mo shrugged: “Ma’am, their watermelons still don’t look good enough. If they look better, they may cost three or four yuan ”
It’s already very good.” Lin Xiaomian said: “Madam and the others must be flying happily now.”
