Alpine Orchard - Chapter 399

[Chapter 400 Another Busy Picking Season]

melons are pollinated within 8 days.

The first batch of cantaloupe accounted for nearly 40%.

Today’s temperature is quite cool. It’s noon, and the temperature in the greenhouse is only about 25 degrees. The temperature outside the greenhouse is 21 degrees.

Most of them were picked in one morning.

Mom and mother-in-law went back early to prepare lunch. At twelve o’clock, Ye Mo called to stop work and turned on the ventilation in the greenhouse…

to prevent the greenhouse from heating up in the afternoon, he turned on the exhaust fan to cool down the greenhouse.

When I came to the house by the reservoir, the food was already being placed at home.

Lin Xiaomian and Xu Hui are there.

When we got home, we washed our hands and ate.

There was tremella sago dew at noon, and Ye Mo drank a bowl first.

The ground cage that was released in the morning was not collected until after 10:30, and there were only a few crayfish in it. It is winter and the water temperature is cold. Crayfish either hibernate or do not move much, making it difficult to catch.

Ye Mo’s father brought out beer, poured it for Li Xuebin and Zhou Minghai, and Lin Shan sat together and drank.

“How many melons have you picked?” Lin Xiaomian asked.

“More than half.” Ye Mo said.

“Have you started loading the car yet?”

“Not yet.” Ye Mo said, “Load the car in the afternoon.”

Ye Mo’s mother greeted Xu Hui and Wang Fengyi…

The workers brought by Li Xuebin and the others also ate here.

After lunch, everyone rested for half an hour before continuing to work.

Zhou Minghai, Wang Fengyi and Xu Hui left after eating.

Li Xuebin stayed here, guarding the loading.

In the afternoon, more than half of the manpower was assigned to transport the melons and load them into the truck.

Less than half of the people continued to pick melons.

The first batch of melons was large, estimated to be 300,000. However, the average weight of a mature melon is only 1.35 catties.

Compared with watermelons, picking and loading them is much easier.

But the portion is huge.

I was busy until after five o’clock in the afternoon before I finished picking.

Put the melons in plastic baskets, put them on the cart, and put them away neatly. The speed of loading the car was quite fast…

In the afternoon, Li Xuebin also came to help load the car, looked at the time, and came over to take a picture of Ye Mo.

Ye Mo followed him to the side: “What are you doing?”

“I’m going back. Old Zhou at the factory can’t handle it alone, so I have to go back to the factory.” Li Xuebin said.

“Okay, I won’t keep you.” Ye Mo said, “I’m going to work here until midnight.”

Li Xuebin smiled and said, “I’m free tomorrow.”

Ye Mo nodded: “What’s the matter.”

Tomorrow’s work is still picking melons, but the amount… is relatively small.

You can pick some tomorrow, or you can pick them together the day after tomorrow.

“Didn’t I say I would give you a big toy before? Lao Zhou has already contacted it, and the goods will arrive a year ago. If you are free tomorrow, let’s go over and sign the contract.” Li Xuebin said with a smile.

“Is the export order confirmed?”

Li Xuebin nodded: “Confirmed.” The

sample was sent before, and the other party has not responded to the message. However, it doesn’t matter whether these melons have export orders or not.

“Tomorrow at ten o’clock in the morning, luxury cars will be customized.” Li Xuebin said.

“Okay.” I

made nearly 20 million with Ye Mo last year.

This year, it shouldn’t be too bad…

Sending Ye Mo a car worth more than three million yuan is nothing at all. Maintaining the relationship between the two parties is the most important thing.

Ye Mo also knew what it meant to accept their gift.

For a long time, Ye Mo felt that the price Li Xuebin and the others gave was still very fair, and even said that it was somewhat beyond Ye Mo’s expectations. With these prerequisites, Ye Mo never thought of changing fruit vendors…

Don’t reject their gifts for nothing.

Besides, Ye Mo still likes the Maybach GLS class very much.

Watching Li Xuebin leave, Ye Mo went back to continue working and checking the work.

There are almost 200 tons of melons picked today.

I worked until 6:30, went back to eat and rest for a while, and continued to work…it was not until after 11:30 in the evening that the car was loaded.

Ye Mo helped close the shed and turned on the heating in the shed.

It was one o’clock when we got back to the villa.

Lin Xiaomian had already taken a shower, was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone, and hadn’t slept yet.

Ye Mo also went to take a shower and went back to bed: “Do you want to pick melons tomorrow?”

“I’ll have to go and have a look tomorrow morning to decide.” Ye Mo said.

“I loaded 14 cars today, how much will it cost?”

“Estimated…about eight million.” Lin Xiaomian pulled Ye Mo’s hand over and used it as a pillow.

The average weight of this batch of melons is about 1.35 catties. Among the varieties of the emerald family, it is relatively large.

“Boss Li asked me to go to the city tomorrow to go through the procedures for the car, saying that it can be delivered a year ago.” Ye Mo said.

“Maybach GLS?”

“Yeah.”

“Which model?”

“I didn’t say… it was given as a gift, so you still have the guts to ask for the model?” Ye Mo asked with a smile.

“I’m sorry.” Lin Xiaomian stared and said, “They gave you such an expensive car, which means they must have earned more.”

“The money they make is their business.” Ye Mo tapped lightly Lin Xiaomian’s head: “Go to bed early, maybe I’ll be busy tomorrow.”

“Picking melons is so tiring.”

Ye Mo turned around and kissed Lin Xiaomian’s forehead: “Sleep.”

The next day.

Ye Mo didn’t get up until after eight o’clock, cooked and ate, and drove a Bentley to the greenhouse.

This week, Master Li and his wife are on the night shift here in the greenhouse, that is, they sleep here at night…

people should go back to eat.

It’s quiet here in the shed.

What I said last night was to wait for the notice today before going to work.

Ye Mo came to the muskmelon shed to have a look. The muskmelons with the No. 2 label were also ripe, exuding a tempting sweet smell.

Ye Mo walked around the greenhouse, and more than 90% of the cantaloupe with the No. 2 label could smell the aroma, which indicated that it was ready to be picked.

And those melons that have no obvious fragrance are actually ripe, and after one or two days of storage, the fragrance will come out. It’s just that the ripe cantaloupe on the vine will be better.

After nine o’clock, Ye Mo called Master Liu: “Master Liu, the melons labeled No. 2 are ripe, and they have to be picked today, so bring someone over here…”

Master Liu and his wife came over first, passing by Ye Mo’s car When he was next to it…

It wasn’t the first time he saw this car, and when he saw it again, he still couldn’t help but take a second look.

“There are not many cantaloupe on the No. 2 label. I didn’t turn on the fan when I picked it today. While picking, I transported the cantaloupe to the warehouse for storage. During the day, the greenhouse still needs to keep the temperature…Moreover, be careful when picking. .” Ye Mo said.

“Okay.” Master Liu nodded.

“I’m going out later, and I should be back before noon. Please help me watch over the picking work.” Ye Mo said.

Master Liu smiled and agreed, “Don’t worry, we are all veterans.”

Ye Mo nodded, handed Master Liu a cigarette, and he lit one himself, returned to the car, and started the car.

Workers came over one after another, and everyone’s eyes were attracted to Bentley for a while.

Xiao Mian’s parents were at the back, riding a battery car, Ye Mo braked: “Dad, Mom.”

“Want to go out?” the old man said politely.

“Go out and do something.” Ye Mo said.

“Be careful, don’t run too fast.” The mother-in-law said, “Where is Lin Xiaomian, still sleeping at home?”

“Clean up the house and wash clothes at home,” Ye Mo said.

“She is so diligent…”

“Your daughter, you don’t know her yet.” The old man said, turning the switch of the car.

Ye Mo smiled, took out the phone and called Lin Xiaomian: “Hey, are you up yet?”

“No.” Lin Xiaomian said, “What are you doing?”

“I’m going to Huacheng, do you want to go?”

” Come back and pick me up, I’ll get up right away.”
