Chapter 141: Want a big watermelon

After Zhang Wenhua got in the car, Ye Mo got into the driver's seat and started the car.

Zhang Yuanqiao looked at the car's interior. Before getting in, he looked at the car's appearance.

Hongqi's E-HS9 is really handsome in appearance, and the interior feels very comfortable and luxurious: "Is your car electric?"

"Um."

"Hongqi E-HS9, pure electric." Zhang Wenhua said.

"How many kilometers can such a big car run on a full charge?" Zhang Yuanqiao asked.

"With a full charge, 350 kilometers is not a big problem." Ye Mo said: "I haven't calculated it carefully. It's just a daily use car and I haven't traveled long distances."

"It's quite good. The space is much larger than my car." Zhang Yuanqiao recently wanted to buy a new car. He got tired of driving the Porsche and let his son drive it. Now sitting in Ye Mo's car, it feels pretty good.

: "How does the car accelerate?"

Ye Mo stepped on the accelerator, and the motor responded quickly. For a moment, he felt a push on his back, and then he slowed down the car...

Brothers Zhang Yuanqiao and Zhang Wenhua burst out laughing.

"This power is awesome, and the acceleration is quite strong." At that moment, Zhang Yuanqiao's heart was lifted, and the feeling of pushing on his back was particularly obvious.

"551 horsepower. Acceleration from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers in 5 seconds..." Ye Mo said with a smile, these are official paper data.

Horsepower and acceleration are still very reliable when the battery is sufficient. What is unreliable is the battery life...

This car is very big, with a listed range of 660 kilometers, but in actual use, the price is too high. Ye Mo thinks that if this car was marked with a 400-kilometer range, the rating would be much higher.

For most people, let alone 400 kilometers of range, when using a car for daily use, a 300-kilometer range is enough. People who can buy this car don’t have other cars at home?

"Not bad, not bad. I'll pick one up now that I have the time." Zhang Yuanqiao said with a smile: "That crayfish, the price Zhang Zhang gave you, is it really 33.5 yuan?"

"Yeah." Ye Mo nodded.

"This black-hearted baby sold it to me for 40 yuan per catty. If I had known that the lobster was yours, I would have come over... I wouldn't have bought it from him," Zhang Yuanqiao said with a smile.

"Brother, you can't say that. It's 33.5 yuan per catty. I sold it to you for 40 yuan per catty. I really don't make any money from you. If you continue to accuse me of being evil, I won't sell it to you. That batch of lobsters is real.

It's good, I'm going to sell it to Erhai..." Zhang Wenhua saw that Ye Mo and Zhang Yuanqiao knew each other, so he started talking directly.

"Okay, okay, you don't make any money from me, so the price is 33.5 yuan per catty. At most, I'll add a few dollars for shipping."

"My brother Ming Ming settles the accounts. I'm not like you. I have a big family and a big business. All I earn is hard-earned money. It's hard hahaha..."

"You guy..."

Ye Mo looked at the two brothers with a smile. Zhang Yuanqiao just said, 'I'm coming over just now.' What did you mean?

As they neared the reservoir, Zhang Yuanqiao saw the neat bamboo shelves built by Ye Mo and asked, "What are you going to plant on those shelves?"

"Plant watermelons and reticulated melons." Ye Mo said.

Zhang Yuanqiao saw the organic fertilizer bags piled up on the roadside that had not yet been cleaned. They were all organic fertilizers and asked: "When will it be mature?"

"At the end of next month, it depends on the weather. If the weather is good, we will grow some seedlings first. A batch will mature in mid-March at the earliest..."

"Call me when you are mature. If they look good, I will purchase them in large quantities." Zhang Yuanqiao said with a smile.

At the end of March, Yunpan Mountain's peak tourist season happens to be the best time to enjoy flowers. At that time of year, their resort business is particularly good.

"Okay, no problem, I will choose the best melon for you when the time comes." Ye Mo said.

"The watermelon that is being used as a stand-up should be a small melon, right?"

"Hmm. In early watermelons, we mainly grow small melons, which have a crispy texture... The temperature after the new year will not be very high, which is not suitable for the growth of large melons." Ye Mo said.

"Can you help me cultivate some large melons specifically?" Zhang Yuanqiao said: "If they reach the quality of this summer, 150-200 kilograms each, I will offer 15,000 for more than 10,200 kilograms."

"This..." Ye Mo shook his head: "It's difficult."

Zhang Yuanqiao thought for a while and said: "The quality can be lowered a bit, and the sweetness must reach the standard of ordinary watermelons."

"how many do you want?"

"30. At least, 30."

The car stopped by the reservoir and the two chatted for a long time.

Zhang Yuanqiao wants the big watermelon in April, May at the latest, no later.

Ye Mo parked the car next to the reservoir and shook his head: "In April, we will start planting seedlings next month..."

During this period, large watermelons can only be grown in greenhouses. Although it is a dry and hot valley, the temperature difference between day and night is large...

When the watermelon fruit sets, the cells begin to separate and the fruit begins to expand. If the temperature of the watermelon is low when the fruit is set, the cell division speed slows down, resulting in an insufficient number of cells. As the temperature rises, the peel begins to expand, but the pulp cells are insufficient and cannot

Filling up the space in the fruit results in a hollow phenomenon.

The larger the watermelon, the more likely it is to become hollow.

"It's too difficult." Ye Mo shook his head.

Growing big watermelons is definitely more profitable than small watermelons. But big watermelons also consume more spiritual springs...

Extra large watermelons, one melon per plant, three or four vines.

One plant consumes more than ten liters of spiritual spring. The most important thing is the temperature... Of course, if it can grow to more than 150 kilograms, Ye Mo will make a profit. But if there is a hollow, it will be a big loss.

The risk is too high.

"Well... there are also farms in Yunnan that specialize in cultivating large watermelons. If you don't contact those who specialize in cultivating large watermelons, the price will be cheaper," Ye Mo said.

There are many special cultivations of extra-large watermelons, usually more than 100 kilograms each, and more than 200 kilograms each, which are rare. And the price is not cheap. More importantly, the watermelons grown by Ye Mo sell well and have a smooth surface.

, the texture is beautiful...

"Help me." Zhang Yuanqiao said, "The price is negotiable."

"I want to make money if I can. But it's really difficult..." Ye Mo said, "If it's delivered in August, let alone 50, I can plant 100. But if it's delivered in April, then

Just ask for the fruit to set in February, you know the temperature during that time."

The temperature in February is 10℃~25℃. The temperature difference between day and night is too big.

Extra large watermelons have a long growth cycle.

This year's watermelon, Ye Mo seems to have bought melon seedlings in March, transplanted them here at the end of April, and then they started to bloom...

Lingquan has extended the growth cycle of watermelon. From the time when you buy seedlings to maturity... they bloom in May, and then set fruit... it is July when the watermelon stops growing and enters the maturity stage.

The growth cycle of a general late-maturing watermelon is about 130 days from the time of planting to maturity.

Extra-large watermelons have a long growth cycle. In months when the temperature is unstable, hollows can easily appear even if a greenhouse is built. Even if there is a spiritual spring, Ye Mo is not sure at all.
