After eating watermelon, Ye Mo took a group of people to the Jiabao Orchard for a stroll.
There are always ripe fruits in Jiabao Orchard, but not many. You can pick a few kilograms every few days.
Some of the Jiabao fruits here are extremely large, only a little smaller than a table tennis ball. The peel is thin, the flesh is thick, juicy, and the flavor is rich.
The number of extra-large Garbo fruits is very small.
Although Jiabao fruits are always ripe now, the quantity is not large.
If you pick it once every seven or eight days, you can get four to five kilograms each time. The most important thing is that the birds are very harmful.
If there were no wild birds to harm these fruits, they would be picked once every seven or eight days, and they would probably weigh about ten kilograms. The most important thing is that the dozen or so big trees have begun to bear fruit again.
Little Jiabao fruit trees are better than others in number.
Gao Yuan only saw watermelons yesterday, but not the Jiabao orchard. After tasting it, the Jiabao fruit here is quite good.
"The Jiabao fruit is very good, with high sweetness and rich flavor. But the quantity is too small." Gao Yuan said: "I can give you 75 yuan per catty for large fruits, 45 yuan for medium fruits, and 30 yuan for small fruits.
"
"Okay." Ye Mo nodded.
Large Jiabao fruit can be sold for more than 100 yuan per catty. It is only sold in a few high-end fruit stores and online stores.
The Dajiabao fruit here is bigger than the Dajiabao fruit online. But the cost of asking Ye Mo to do terminal sales is obviously not cost-effective.
Some high-end fruit shops in Huacheng sell ordinary Jiabao fruit at a price of fifty or sixty yuan per catty. When it is cheap, you can also buy it for thirty or forty yuan per catty.
After the Jiabao fruit matures, the storage period is too short, and many places do not have this product at all. The Jiabao fruit sold online is basically transported by air...
Gao Yuan's price was higher than Ye Mo's expected price.
These Jiabao fruits, Ye Mo expects, can be sold for twenty or thirty yuan per catty... regardless of the size of the fruit, all together.
Gao Yuan and the others picked some Jiabao fruits and wanted to give Ye Mo money, but Ye Mo waved his hand and confiscated their money.
"There are not many Jiabao fruits now. When there are more, I will pick them and send them to you directly," Ye Mo said.
"Okay. The watermelons you have here should be picked when they are about seven or eight years old, not fully ripe. They should be ready to be picked in a few days. I will have a car come over to pick them up then," Gao Yuan said.
"Okay...walk slowly." Ye Mo shouted as he watched them get into the car.
I only ate a little bit of the eighty-pound watermelon I just opened.
The watermelon is so big that I can't eat much of it.
Extra large watermelons are hard to sell.
If it weighs more than 70 pounds, it can be considered a special melon. Some people think it is rare and will buy it.
But few people would buy a large watermelon weighing 50 to 60 kilograms each. It is not a particularly rare thing. It is too big to be eaten after buying it.
Ye Mo loaded the remaining watermelons into the truck and went to the production team. He gave some to Xiaomian's parents and took some to Ye Ran and Lin Xiaomian. They were digging trenches and burying water pipes... followed by some people.
Buried water pipes.
Generally speaking, in summer...eating watermelon makes you feel good. One person can eat four to five kilograms, or even more. But eating too much can easily lead to diarrhea.
Eating two to three kilograms is almost appropriate.
More than eighty pounds of watermelon is enough to feed thirty or forty people.
…
Due to the high temperatures in the following days, the watermelons in the fields ripened quickly.
Watermelons weighing less than 70 pounds have begun to be picked.
There were 30 watermelons in total. Ye Mo and the others ate some, and now there are still 96 watermelons left on them.
Ye Mo left 20 for himself. These 20 were watermelons weighing 50 to 60 kilograms. Watermelons weighing less than 70 kilograms are sold as regular melons. One weighing 50 to 60 kilograms is too big. Except for some units with a large number of people.
Buy. Ordinary families will not buy such a big watermelon...
2.5 yuan per catty, the first batch sold for 6,500 yuan.
All the remaining watermelons in the field were extra-large watermelons, weighing more than 70 kilograms. It took a few days to pick them all.
A total of 44 large watermelons ranging from 70 kilograms to 150 kilograms were sold for 47,300 yuan.
For melons weighing more than 150 pounds, there are 20 melons in total.
Ye Mo wanted to keep the two largest melons for sowing, so he only sold 18 melons. On average, each melon cost more than 4,000 yuan, and he sold them for 76,000 yuan.
Those 18 melons have red letters printed on them, with the words "climb higher step by step", "congratulations on getting rich", "good luck always comes" and so on.
Such a big watermelon is definitely not meant for eating by oneself. It is used for giving gifts or doing activities.
…
It's almost noon when I get home.
Lin Xiaomian is playing with the birds at home...
This is a very rare brown-backed shrike. It seems to have recognized Lin Xiaomian as its master. It comes here at noon every day, but it only gets close to Lin Xiaomian...
Ye Ran can get close to it occasionally.
If Ye Mo passes by, it will escape.
"Are the watermelons sold out?" Ye Ran asked, sitting next to him, playing with his mobile phone.
"There are a dozen more."
"How much did it sell for?"
Lin Xiaomian also looked over...
"More than 130,000 in total." Ye Mo said.
Ye Ran looked envious: "How did you grow those watermelons? They grow so big. I just bought the seedlings and didn't take care of them."
"Eighty plants were sold for 130,000. If 8,000 were sold, wouldn't it be possible to get rich overnight?" Ye Ran said.
Ye Mo rolled his eyes: "Eight thousand trees are enough to achieve immortality in one place."
If there are eight thousand plants, each with one melon...that's eight thousand.
If the quantity is large, it will definitely not be sold at a high price. By then, if it costs two yuan per catty, no one will want it. If it costs one yuan per catty, maybe...
Ye Mo did some calculations, and if it cost one yuan per catty, as long as he could sell them all, he could earn millions of dollars.
This year there is no need to think about it.
Wait until next year and put it into practice.
"Ye Mo, come here and take a look, what do you think of these two sets of sofas?" Dad shouted.
The decoration of the home is almost done, now it’s time to choose furniture.
Fabric sofa, light gray, eight-piece set + coffee table + TV cabinet, 8,000 yuan.
Overall width of 3.7 meters…
"It's almost the same, quite beautiful." Ye Mo said.
If you go to a furniture store to buy this, the price will be much more expensive.
Ye Mo helped his father buy a bed, a wardrobe, and various furniture... It cost more than 50,000 yuan in total.
Furniture ranges from expensive to cheap.
To be honest, Ye Mo also wants to build a house.
The current house is not small, but the layout is a problem. It seems that the space of the house is very small. There is no balcony...
The furniture is also the furniture left by the previous owner.
But now we don’t have much money.
Ye Mo has seen a mansion, the one before... Until now, Ye Mo still thinks about it.
I have seen the huge space and layout of luxury houses. Living in a small house, I feel like nothing is right.
Lunch is ready.
Ye Mo brought out beer...
"Don't drink. I'll drive to the city later." Ye Ran said.
"I won't drink anymore." Lin Xiaomian shook her head and patted her belly: "I feel like I have a belly."
"What are you doing in the city?" Ye Mo asked.
"The water pipes are buried. There is nothing to do later. I will go back to the city to stay for a few days and get my hair done, manicure and so on." Ye Ran said and looked at Lin Xiaomian: "Would you like to go to the city together?"
Lin Xiaomian nodded lightly and looked at Ye Mo: "Would you like to go play in the city?"
"No time. Tang Xun asked me to go over and help him dig a swimming pool. It will be dug out tomorrow," Ye Mo said. Tang Xun plans to dig a swimming pool. The weather here is hot, so he will dig a swimming pool for their two children to play.
The construction progress of Tang Xun's house is also very fast.
The houses of his parents and father-in-law have been capped. Tang Xun's house has also been built to the second floor.
"Then let's go play by ourselves." Lin Xiaomian said.
"Yeah." Ye Ran nodded: "Do you do your hair first in the afternoon or do your manicure first? My fingernails are all black after driving the excavator for such a long time."
