Alpine Orchard - Chapter 318

[Chapter 318 Trouble Picking Durian]

Early to bed and early to rise in good spirits.

The workers also got up early, had breakfast and came to the greenhouse area to start a new day of work.

“Master Zhang, Master Song… Dad, come here.” Ye Mo shouted.

Lin Shan and the others came over: “What are you doing?”

“Help carry the watermelon.” Ye Mo said, “Pick the watermelon to see if it’s ripe.”

“Let’s go.”

When they came to the melon field, Ye Mo picked the smallest one, Lift the watermelon onto the stretcher.

There are stretchers made of sacks, which are specially used to carry watermelons.

These watermelons are too big, most of them weigh more than two hundred catties. Ye Mo picked the smallest one, got it to the warehouse and weighed it, it was 183 catties.

Such a big watermelon is not easy for two people to lift. It needs to be put on a stretcher or put in a basket to carry it away.

The watermelon is big, and the skin of the watermelon is also very thick. The only way to tell if a watermelon is ripe is from the vines. As for knocking these watermelons, it’s hard to tell.

Judging by the vines, these watermelons should be ripe.

Ye Mo took out his mobile phone to record a video, and the father-in-law took a watermelon knife and cut the watermelon in half.

The flesh of the melon is completely red, and the maturity is about 70% to 80%, which is just right.

But this watermelon is relatively ‘small’. Not necessarily those watermelons weighing more than two hundred catties.

Ye Mo sent the video to Li Xuebin, and typed: “These watermelons are picked in the morning the day after tomorrow.”

“The big watermelons are in the warehouse, so come and eat watermelons if you are thirsty.” Lin Shan went to work and said loudly.

“Yes.” Zhou Yue on the roof of the shed heard it, and responded loudly with a smile.

Ye Mo then left and called Lin Xiaomian: “Are you up yet?”

“Are you up, eating.”

Ye Mo then called his father and asked him if he had anything… and called him to come over and help.

When I got home, Lin Xiaomian was washing the dishes, waiting for the dishes to be washed, and went to the durian garden together.

I don’t know how durians on other trees are judged to be mature. The durians here have a strong smell and smell… Where there is a durian smell, just go and try one by one. The durians that can be unscrewed are ripe. If it cannot be unscrewed, it is not mature yet.

Ganyao durian, even when mature, is still green.

“Husband… here is a fallen durian.” Lin Xiaomian saw a durian on the ground, ran over with a smile, looked at Ye Mo: “I’ll eat it.”

Ye Mo couldn’t help scratching Head: “Let’s eat.” I

didn’t do much work, so I thought about eating first.

“Your knife, use it for me.”

Ye Mo threw the keychain over, Lin Xiaomian picked it up, put a small knife on the keychain… and opened the durian.

As soon as the durian was opened, Ye Ran came over: “Sister-in-law.”

“Come and eat the durian.” Lin Xiaomian shouted: “This one dropped by myself, it is very fragrant.”

“I can already smell it.” Ye Ran trotted over .

“Dad, Mom.” Ye Mo shouted.

The two said ‘hmm’. Mother Ye walked over to Lin Xiaomian…

Dad came over to Ye Mo: “How can you tell if the durian is ripe?”

“Smell…” Ye Mo said.

“Smell?” Dad’s head was big.

Ye Mo is also very helpless, he doesn’t know how to judge whether he is mature or not.

They are all green skins, and they look similar in appearance.

Ye Mo’s phone rang: “Boss Wei?”

“I picked a few durians at your place yesterday that haven’t smelled yet, and after taking them back for one night, the smell came out.” Boss Wei said, “These durians are almost the same as ripening on the tree.”

“No smell Smell?” Ye Mo said, “I don’t really understand.”

“It’s just a durian that’s ripe.” Boss Wei said.

“How do you tell when someone is nine mature?” Ye Mo asked.

“Durians that fall naturally are fully ripe, that is, ten ripe. Nine ripe, are almost the durians that are about to fall.” Boss Wei said: “Fully ripe durians usually fall naturally at night. The durians on your side, The smelly ones should be 90% ripe, if not picked, they should fall naturally at night. 90% ripe, you can’t smell the smell outside, but you can eat it after opening, and the smell inside is relatively strong.”

“How to tell the difference?”

How to tell if durian is ripe or immature, I really don’t understand.

Even if these durians fall naturally, the peels are all blue, which is about the same color as the durians on the tree.

Just now, Lin Xiaomian picked up a durian that fell naturally on the ground and was eating it. The peel is blue.

“Use your thumb and forefinger to pinch the two adjacent thorns on the durian skin.” Boss Wei said, “If you can pinch it, it’s ripe, almost nine ripe. If you can’t pinch it, it’s not ripe yet. Find some thorns.” Pinch the durian that is different, and open it to have a look.”

“Okay, I’ll try…” Following what

Boss Wei said, Ye Mo began to pinch the durian thorns. Squeeze the thorns and press hard…

The durian peel is very hard. Ye Mo squeezed six or seven in a row, and finally one of them can be squeezed. This durian can’t smell the smell… The fruit stem is also very strong. Cut off the stalk and open it.

It’s not that I can’t smell the smell, but that I can’t smell the smell because of the distance. Putting the nose against the durian, there is still a relatively strong durian smell.

The moment the durian opens, the smell comes out. Moreover, the smell is also very strong, Ye Mo smells a bit offensive… There is an obvious smell similar to metal rust.

“Lin Xiaomian, Ye Ran… There is a ripe durian here.” Ye Mo brought the opened durian to Lin Xiaomian and the others.

Ye Mo’s mother also likes to eat durians. The durian she picked up just now fell naturally. After opening it, there were only two rooms of big meat and one room of small meat, which was not enough to eat.

The durian opened by Ye Mo is even worse, one room is big meat, two rooms are small meat.

It may be the reason for the large number of fruit in the first year. The quality of these durians this year is particularly poor.

Waiting for Lin Xiaomian and the others to eat durian.

Ye Mo told them how to tell if durians are ripe or immature…

“Squeeze one by one?” Lin Xiaomian’s eyes widened.

“Yeah.” Ye Mo nodded.

“It’s so troublesome…or we can just wait for these durians to mature and fall from the tree by themselves, so we can pick them up in the morning.” Lin Xiaomian said: “It is said on the Internet that durians usually ripen and fall at night. They don’t fall during the day… Let’s get up earlier, the durian trees here are not tall, so they won’t be damaged if they fall.”

“Uh…let me ask Boss Wei.” Ye Mo said.

“You ask. It’s too troublesome to pinch one by one, or to find it by smell. We’re not dogs…”

Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian, really speechless, and called Boss Wei: “Hey, Wei Boss… It’s too troublesome to find durians one by one. The durian trees here are not high, and these durians will fall naturally and will not be damaged… Well, we want to wait for these durians to fall naturally, durians fall at night, right… …You don’t know? Let me observe here… If it falls at night, we will pick it up at dawn, and then send it to Boss Li for quick freezing.”
