In the blink of an eye, the production team started picking pomegranates and mangoes.
Early in the morning, Lin Xiaomian got up, made breakfast, and shouted fiercely: "Ye Mo, come downstairs for dinner, hurry up."
Ye Mo got up reluctantly, found long clothes and long sleeves, put them on, and went downstairs: "Tomato scrambled eggs, tomato and egg soup...it's all eggs."
"If you don't want to eat, just go hungry." Lin Xiaomian made a fierce look, but the dimples were exposed on her cheeks. No matter how you look at them, they are so cute.
Ye Mo picked up the bowl and chopsticks and tasted the tomato scrambled eggs made by Lin Xiaomian. Needless to say, it tasted really good.
The tomatoes in the vegetable garden behind were irrigated by Lingquan, and the tomato vines grew to about two meters high... I planted seven of them, but they lasted all summer.
After eating, Ye Mo drove the off-road dump truck out, with Lin Xiaomian sitting in the back...
"Sit tight, I'm driving."
"open it."
"Hold me tight..." Ye Mo smiled and started the car. After going out, he accelerated sharply and braked.
Lin Xiaomian was so angry that she bit his shoulder hard: "Drive well."
First we went to the big reservoir, fed the lobsters, and then went to the production team.
When they arrived at Tang Xun's warehouse, there was no one here. Ye Mo got out of the car, moved some plastic baskets, and loaded them into the car to go to the orchard.
It was so lively in the orchard.
There are eight members of Tang Xun's family, including two little ones.
The little ones are at their mother's place...
"Why did you come here?" Wang Yue looked at them both with a smile.
"I came here after feeding the lobster." Ye Mo walked over and stretched out his hand to tease Tang Tang.
"Call someone."
Tang Tang pouted: "Uncle... eldest lady."
Ye Mo and the others smiled and agreed.
Wang Yue and Lin Xiaomian put the pomegranate in a foam net cover, and then put the pomegranate into a plastic basket.
The purchase price offered by the fruit dealer is very good, but it also requires the installation step.
"Come here." Tang Xun and Chen Chen walked over.
"Yeah." Ye Mo looked at the large area here. It was only eight o'clock and more than ten acres had been picked.
The yield of pomegranates here is low. On average, there are only about five kilograms of pomegranates on one tree. Counting them in pieces, less than ten...
The yield per acre is more than 300 kilograms but certainly less than 400 kilograms.
"Am I also responsible for loading fruits?" Lin Xiaomian asked.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't want to use your little arms and legs to pick fruits," Ye Mo said.
"Ouch..." Ye Ran called out: "Are you two tired from spreading dog food every day?"
"That's right, it's so disgusting." Wang Yue said and looked at Tang Xun: "Your good brother is so good at talking, but you haven't said any sweet words."
"We are an old married couple." Tang Xun said with a smile, "It's not stupid to say those words."
Ye Mo smiled and took out his cigarettes and lit one for Tang Xun and Chen Chen: "Are we transporting fruits or picking them?"
"Transport it." Tang Xun and his family came out after six o'clock. He had been picking pomegranates for more than an hour, and his arms were sore and uncomfortable.
After smoking a cigarette, Ye Mo sent the empty plastic basket to the front of the car, turned the car around, and moved the baskets of pomegranates to the car.
Soon, he was full.
Chen Chen also worked very quickly, but Tang Xun worked slowly...
Ye Mo helped fill Tang Xun's car with three off-road dump trucks and carefully headed to the warehouse.
The orchard road is not smooth and is full of fruits, so you have to be very careful.
Come to the warehouse and unload the fruits.
Tang Xun said: "Do you think the pomegranates I have here weigh 50,000 catties?"
"It should be there. It's estimated to be around 50,000 kilograms," Chen Chen said.
"I think it's about the same. More than 40,000 jins, maybe over 50,000 jins at most." Ye Mo said, "It just doesn't look good."
"I think these pomegranates are quite beautiful." Tang Xun said.
"Have you never seen beautiful pomegranates?" Ye Mo moved the fruit basket and gave him a look of disdain.
When Tang Xun makes cakes, he uses a lot of fruits, but pomegranates...have never been used.
But he has also seen beautiful pomegranates. But how can I put it, these pomegranates... are not as good as the ones above, but they should be more than the ones below.
"I also think the pomegranates here are very beautiful, much more beautiful than those at the foot of the mountain." Chen Chen said.
"Why don't you compare with wild pomegranates?" Ye Mo said. The pomegranates at the foot of the mountain were indeed a little worse, but not by much: "This year's pomegranates are more expensive. The top-quality pomegranates in Spring City are priced as high as 13 yuan per kilogram.
1 catty. A pomegranate priced at 13 yuan per catty is beautiful. But a slightly better pomegranate costs only 6,789 yuan...and again, 45 yuan per catty."
The pomegranates in Spring City are indeed beautiful. There was a reason why they were not sold at high prices last year.
In the past few years, the price of pomegranates in Spring City was also very high. Just last year, it fell sharply... This starts with some Internet celebrities.
Spring City currently does not particularly welcome internet celebrity anchors selling goods. It seems that the year before last, there was a rise of internet celebrities bringing goods... people said on the Internet, 'We can't sell the fruits in such and such a place, and now they are on sale at a very cheap price. They only cost ten yuan.
I'll send you a box...' These Internet celebrities directly named the place in Spring City.
Originally, the pomegranates in Spring City sold well, there were many buyers, and the prices were always good. Because of those Internet celebrities, fruit dealers took the opportunity to press the press, causing panic among local fruit farmers... So last year, the price of local pomegranates dropped.
The price has reached the lowest price in recent years. However, the government soon came out to crack down on those Internet celebrities who spread rumors... They not only spread rumors, but also sold fake products. It was clearly stated on the Internet that they were pomegranates from Chuncheng, but after investigation, they purchased them in Chuncheng.
There are only a few thousand kilograms of pomegranates in total, but hundreds of thousands of kilograms have been sold.
Fruit-selling anchors who sell poorly online can sometimes really harm a production area.
"How expensive are pomegranates in Spring City?" Tang Xun asked.
"It's expensive, but the quality here is good. Even the worst pomegranates are much better than here." Ye Mo said.
Ye Mo's understanding is a little partial. There are also cheap pomegranates in Spring City, one piece costs 1 catty, and two pieces costs 1 catty.
Fruit...you get what you pay for no matter where you go.
For example, some online sellers will give you a large box for ten yuan, but the fruit you get will never be the fruit you see in the video.
Good fruit, the cost is there.
"What you said makes me feel itchy." Tang Xun smiled and said.
After unloading the goods, continue to the orchard for loading.
Lin Xiaomian and the three of them were responsible for arranging and framing the fruits, but they couldn't keep up with their parents' progress.
Ye Mo and the others were transporting the fruits. After ten o'clock, they caught up with their progress in framing. Then they helped frame the fruits together...
I was only responsible for transporting fruits, so Ye Mo felt it was quite relaxing and not tiring at all.
Parents just pick fruits, and it’s very easy. There’s no need to carry or carry them, no need to climb or go downhill... Just pick the pomegranates and pour them on the ground.
But looking at Tang Xun and his family, they seem to be a little overwhelmed.
Picking fruits is comparable to planting fruit seedlings before, but installing drip irrigation is too tiring.
