In the next few days, the little shrike often flew to their home.
But strangely, it only got close to Lin Xiaomian. Ye Mo's parents, Ye Mo and Ye Ran... whenever it got close, it would fly away.
The little thing didn't seem to know how to find food. Every time it flew over, it would scream at Lin Xiaomian, and then Lin Xiaomian would go out to find bugs for it.
…
My parents are renovating their house.
The foundations of all the houses in the village were also dug out.
Ye Ran and Lin Xiaomian started a new job, driving an excavator to dig trenches and bury water pipes.
Ye Mo was not idle either and made water and fertilizer for the coconut grove.
"Hey, Mr. Gao." Ye Mozheng said he would go to the watermelon field to pick some ripe watermelons and send them to Xiaomian's parents, when Gao Yuan called.
"In the orchard?" Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"exist."
"I will bring the customer over to view the goods later." Gao Yuan said, "The price mentioned before is no problem."
"no problem."
Just yesterday, Gao Yuan came to see the watermelon and gave Ye Mo two quotes.
One is an offer to Ye Mo.
The other is a quote to a customer…
Watermelons weighing less than 70 kilograms have a uniform price of 2.5 yuan per kilogram.
70-150 kilograms of watermelon, 11 yuan per kilogram.
Extra-large watermelons weighing more than 150 kilograms are paid 25 yuan per kilogram.
The price is very good. Even if you only plant 80 plants, you can still sell them for a lot of money.
Fruits are expensive this year, not only watermelons, but also mangoes, and other fruit prices have increased. As for the reason, the forest is to be restored to farmland...
Here, the watermelon sold by melon farmers themselves used to be 1.5 yuan per catty, but now it has risen to about 2 yuan.
Yunnan watermelons of better quality, according to online reports, have a field price of 3 yuan.
Those are small and medium-sized watermelons.
For example, selenium sand melons weigh more than 20 or 30 kilograms each. In the fruit wholesale market... they are now priced at 1.6 yuan per kilogram.
In the past few years, the watermelon here was not so expensive. When bought on the street, it usually only costs 1 catty more per piece. Sometimes you can buy cheap watermelon, only a few cents per catty.
The watermelon here in Ye Mo sells well, tastes good, and has high sweetness. Even though it is a large melon, the field price is 2.5 yuan.
This is a watermelon under 70 pounds.
Although it is not common to see watermelons weighing 50 to 60 pounds, it is still easy to find such a large watermelon at the fruit wholesale market.
Watermelons weighing 70 to 150 kilograms, especially those weighing 100 kilograms, are not so easy to find.
The price is 11 yuan per catty, which is also a very good price.
As for watermelons weighing more than 150 kilograms, we pay 25 yuan per kilogram. In addition to the good-looking watermelons, watermelons weighing more than 150 kilograms are really rare.
At this year's Fruit Expo, a 262-pound super-large watermelon sold for a sky-high price of more than 100,000 yuan.
Ye Mo's watermelon looks so beautiful.
Ye Mo is very satisfied with the current price.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Mo went home and took a shower, then went to the warehouse to wait.
It was after ten o'clock before Gao Yuan and the others came over.
Gao Yuan was driving a Volkswagen SUV.
Followed by three cars were a Porsche SUV, an Audi A8L, and a Maybach S-Class.
"Here, let me introduce to you. This is Ye Mo, the boss who cultivated a new variety of super-large watermelon." Gao Yuan introduced Ye Mo with a smile: "This is Mr. Zhang... Mr. Wang... Mr. Guo."
What it does specifically is not introduced.
Ye Mo shook hands with them and made an invitation: "The watermelon field is over there, take us there to see it."
"Boss Ye...are you planting palm trees here?" Mr. Guo looked at the coconut grove on the right and said.
"It's a coconut tree." Ye Mo said.
"Can coconuts be grown here?" the other two bosses asked curiously.
"It can be planted." Ye Mo said with a smile: "There are also big trees that have already produced fruit."
"Planting coconut trees locally requires certain skills." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"If you want to grow coconut trees that bear fruit, you need to start with seedlings." Ye Mo said nonchalantly. When he came to the melon field, the extra-large watermelon inside looked a little bigger. But the shape and skin of the melon were still the same as before.
The same, the shape is plump, round, and the color is nice.
"Oh, there are really such big black-striped watermelons." Mr. Zhang walked over, measured the size of the watermelon with his hands, and looked at Ye Mo: "Are these watermelons a new variety?"
"It's not a new variety. It's Guanlong. It starts with seed selection and then grafting..." Ye Mo said with a smile: "As for how to graft, it's a commercial secret. The super-large watermelons are not yet ripe, and the small watermelons are mature.
…”
Mr. Zhang runs the resort, and their resort is planning to hold activities to attract people.
These big, beautiful watermelons are really eye-catching.
Mr. Wang, he just likes to look strange.
As for Mr. Guo, he is Gaoyuan's partner.
Gaoyuan is engaged in fruit wholesale and physical operation.
Mr. Guo runs an online store...
Huacheng, there are many companies that sell fruits online.
"The watermelons I have here are beautiful." Ye Mo took out a cigarette and handed one to several people.
"Looking at the appearance, it is definitely a top-notch product." Mr. Guo said, "I just don't know how it tastes?"
"It's sweet."
"Can those big watermelons weighing more than 200 kilograms be filled with sweets?" Mr. Guo asked with a smile.
"This..." Ye Mo couldn't guarantee it.
There were 6 watermelons that definitely weighed over 200 kilograms, which were significantly larger than other super-large watermelons.
The largest watermelon is 67 centimeters in diameter. Such a large watermelon can easily become hollow inside.
"I can vouch for watermelons weighing less than 70 pounds. But I have never opened any melons weighing more than 70 pounds... To be honest, I don't dare to guarantee it 100%," Ye Mo said honestly.
"Then pick the mature one, the biggest one...open it and show it to us," Gao Yuan said.
In an area with two melons, Ye Mo picked a large watermelon that made a "dong dong" sound when knocked. It weighed more than seventy kilograms. It was a bit difficult for Ye Mo to hold it by himself.
Gao Yuan came over and helped Ye Mo carry it to the warehouse.
There is a scale in the warehouse.
Ye Mo weighed himself...
"84 pounds." Ye Mo said.
"It doesn't look big, it weighs 84 pounds," Mr. Wang said.
"The watermelon is heavy because it contains enough water," Ye Mo said.
"I'm not talking about weighing..." Mr. Wang said: "I just don't think this watermelon is particularly big. It weighs 84 pounds."
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "It doesn't look big, and it weighs 84 pounds, so this watermelon must be solid. Open it and take a look."
Ye Mo took out a specially made watermelon knife, washed it outside, and cut the watermelon into pieces.
The flesh of the melon is red, a particularly beautiful red color. This is the color of a small to medium-sized watermelon when it is fully mature... The watermelon seeds inside are black and have plump particles.
"The color of this melon flesh is beautiful." Gao Yuan said with a smile, livening up the atmosphere.
Ye Mo cut a few pieces of melon and handed them to everyone.
Gao Yuan took a bite first.
He has eaten watermelon here before. Just yesterday, he opened a watermelon weighing more than 30 kilograms. It has a crisp, delicate texture, sweet and juicy taste.
Generally speaking, larger watermelons have a worse taste. But these watermelons from Ye Mo have a taste comparable to Black Beauty watermelons...
"It's sweet, juicy and delicious." Boss Wang smiled and said, "It's really good."
"It's just the peel, it's too thick." Boss Zhang also said with a smile.
"The peel of a big watermelon is very thick, otherwise it would burst," Gao Yuan said.
