Wu Fei thought his mother-in-law would come the next day. When lunch was about to be had, Wu Fei saw that the person had not arrived yet, so he asked Kang Liu to call his mother-in-law and realized that he would not come today. He also told Wu Fei to ask Wu Fei to pick her up the next day.

The next day, Wu Fei finished breakfast and went to the town first, and then turned to his uncle's house in Tanshan Village. He brought his uncle two watermelons he had just bought in the town and a box of milk. The milk was bought for his grandmother and her old man.

Originally, Wu Fei planned to sit down and then pick up his mother-in-law and go there. Grandma, uncle and aunt all kept Wu Fei for dinner, and Wu Fei must finish lunch before going back.

It was a little early to have lunch at this time, so my uncle killed the watermelon that Wu Fei had just bought. Most of the watermelons sold in the market are from other places, and a small part is the watermelons grown in local greenhouses. It takes 20 days to half a month to ripen locally.

The watermelon that Wu Fei bought is a local greenhouse watermelon, which cost Wu Fei three or five cents per pound.

Watermelons from other places are cheaper, but Wu Fei saw that the melons cut on the stall were all white and had not grown completely. Such watermelons were probably ripened. Although they were one dollar per pound, Wu Fei finally chose to buy local greenhouse watermelons.

After the watermelon was cut, all the watermelon seeds inside grew, and some of them were covered with a little black.

It seems that the boss selling melons is not lying. These melons really ripen in a natural state and have no means of ripening.

"The watermelon now has a little bit of taste. Although it looks ripe, it is still not sweet enough and a little light." Uncle Liu Yongxing took a bite of the watermelon, tasted it carefully, and then said to Wu Fei.

"Is this the watermelon grown in your greenhouse? This watermelon is far inferior to the watermelon I ate at your house last year. Is it different in varieties, or is the temperature not high enough now?"

Last year, when Liu Yongxing took Kang Liu to Wu Fei's house for a blind date, Wu Fei happened to plant some watermelons in the farm. The watermelons he ate that day were taken out of the farm.

Those who ate watermelons last year said that they were very delicious, with plenty of moisture and very sweet. Compared with ordinary watermelons, the melons from last year were much sweeter.

Originally, Wu Fei estimated that the watermelons planted in the greenhouse this year should be able to ripen in late May, and he even greeted those who had bought strawberries at Wu Fei's house in advance.

But by the end of May, the watermelons in the greenhouse had not yet matured, and the melons planted by others would usually mature in advance. When they arrived at Wu Fei, they were postponed.

When buying watermelon seeds, Wu Fei specially bought early-ripening watermelon varieties. Because the growth period is relatively short, the watermelon that grows is not very large. A watermelon usually only looks like four or five kilograms.

When the watermelon in the field grew to four or five pounds, Wu Fei found something was wrong. Even Wu Fei, who was inexperienced like this, could tell at a glance that the watermelon in the greenhouse was still very early before it matured.

Now the watermelons in the greenhouse are almost six or seven kilograms each, which is a sign of maturity. However, if you want to officially start selling, it may be a week away.

Don’t say it’s too heavy at that time. Most watermelons are almost the same as seven kilograms per, which is two or three kilograms heavier than the single weight he said when buying seeds at that time.

But in this way, the time for watermelon to go on the market has been repeatedly pushed forward, which is about ten days later than the expected launch time.

Otherwise, the watermelons in the greenhouse would have been able to be eaten long ago, otherwise Liu Yongxing would not have said that. According to Liu Yongxing's idea, the watermelons grown by Wu Fei should have been on sale long ago.

"Maybe the variety was wrong. It was probably ripe from mid-May to late May, but it was still a little bit short of it. You might be able to eat the watermelon in the greenhouse around the tenth."

Wu Fei picked up a piece of watermelon and took a bite. Sure enough, he found that although the watermelon looked ripe, the taste was a little lighter. Not to mention the watermelon that Wu Fei planted on the farm last year, it was much lighter even compared with the watermelon that Wu Bang planted in the vegetable garden behind.

"These two watermelons were bought in the town just now. They should also be local greenhouse watermelons. The watermelons from other places are not so fresh. In a few days, the watermelons in the greenhouse will be ripe. Then I will send a few to my uncle to taste it and see if they are as delicious as last year's watermelon."

"When the watermelon is ripe, you can tell me, I will bring you some people to buy watermelons." When Wu Fei said that he would send watermelons to himself, Liu Yongxing stopped Wu Fei's idea and told Wu Fei about his plans.

"Is it time to decide how much watermelons cost per pound? There should be a lot of watermelons in ten greenhouses to pick at a time. Have you found a buyer?"

Wu Fei finished a piece of watermelon in his hand in a few seconds, then wiped his mouth with paper, and said to Liu Yongxing: "I haven't decided how much it costs per pound yet. I saw how the watermelon tasted like. If it was similar to last year's watermelon, I planned to set the price a little higher."

Because he planted a lot of watermelons, Wu Fei learned about all kinds of watermelons sold on the market during this period.

Ordinary watermelons, a pound from other places, are usually sold for 2 to 3 yuan, while local greenhouse watermelons are usually around 4 yuan per pound.

These are the ordinary varieties of watermelons, and there are many high-priced watermelons, and the price per pound is generally more than 5 yuan.

Last time, Wu Fei bought a watermelon that costs six yuan per pound, which tasted better than ordinary watermelons, but compared to the watermelons he grew on the farm last year, the taste was not a little worse.

So Wu Fei planned to try the taste of watermelon and then determine the price of watermelon. If the taste is similar to that of the watermelon on the farm last year, Wu Fei planned to set a relatively high price for the watermelon.

At the end of April, the Grand Money Hotel reopened. At that time, in addition to sending 1,000 kilograms of fish to the hotel, Wu Fei sent two large foam boxes for each variety of strawberries, and the vegetables grown in other fields were not leaked.

The hotel owner was also present at that time. When the strawberries were delivered, they were washed and brought to everyone.

After trying the taste of strawberries, the hotel owner made a decision on the spot, and gave the hotel at least twice a week, each variety at least three pieces, that is, three foam boxes for each variety.

The strawberries in the three foam boxes weigh about 100 kilograms, and the three varieties are 300 kilograms. Moreover, the price offered by the hotel is much higher than that of Wu Fei to wholesalers. At that time, the strawberries sold to wholesalers Wu Wen'an and others had dropped to 16 yuan per kilogram.

The cheapest strawberries sold to the rich hotel are also 20 yuan per pound. The requirements for strawberries sold to the hotel are higher. Small strawberries are not allowed in hotels, and the unit weight is more than 25 grams.
