Ye Mo checked the weather forecast, and today's weather also showed that it would be sunny for the next two days.
Sunny days are the weather Ye Mo wants to see.
As watermelon picking approached, Ye Mo became nervous.
Ye Mo remembered that at this time last year, there was extreme weather and a sudden drop in temperature.
A few days ago it was still in the 30s, but suddenly the temperature dropped to two or three degrees.
This batch of watermelons is beautiful, very beautiful, but it has not fallen into the bag, and I still feel uneasy.
Ye Mo now has a huge family fortune, but he has no money in his pocket, so he relies on the watermelons in the fields.
After cleaning up the kitchen, I rode my bike to the melon field and opened a watermelon to take a look.
The flesh of the melon is not yet red.
Yesterday it was white with red inside, today it is red with white inside...
The watermelon is very sweet and has plenty of water, but after all, it is not ripe and still has a little green flavor.
"Is the watermelon ripe?" Dad rode over and asked.
"Five ripe." Ye Mo handed the watermelon to his father: "Dad, when these watermelons are sold, I will buy you a car."
"What kind of car are you buying? I don't even want to drive that pickup truck you left on the mountain." Dad Ye shook his head and said, "After selling these watermelons, build a beautiful house and then marry me. That's the right thing to do."
thing."
"It's inconvenient to drive a pickup truck, so I'll buy you a mobility scooter. Zhang Xia, Wang Yue and the others said before that they wanted to buy a mini for mobility. I think it's pretty good. As a mobility scooter, it can protect you from wind and rain." Ye Mo
Said: "Or whatever car you want, I will buy it for you."
"How much can you sell these watermelons for?" Father Ye said: "When you sell the watermelons, don't forget to calculate the wages for your second uncle, third uncle, Tang Xun and Xiaomian. There is someone who can help you.
Dude, let's come over and get you some watermelons. This construction period is not short."
Seedlings were raised after New Year's Day and then planted... During the New Year period, Ye Mo went to Uncle Xiaomian's place, but the seedlings in the melon field were eager to be transplanted. The second uncle, third uncle, Tang Ming and Wang Hao, and their relatives all
I didn't go out for a walk, I just helped with the work here.
The watermelons here are very beautiful. In addition to being watered by spiritual springs, they are also watered with everyone's sweat.
There are more than one hundred acres of watermelon, and dozens of acres of cantaloupe and muskmelon. When divided among them, one person has to manage nearly ten acres.
Ye Mo nodded and said, "I know, I remember Gongtian here."
"How much can these watermelons be sold for?"
"The price of melons and fruits is quite good this year, but for watermelons, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be worth three million," Ye Mo said.
The price of watermelon will become cheaper and cheaper in the future. It is difficult to calculate how much it can sell for, so I can only give a rough estimate.
Dad nodded, took a few bites of the unripe watermelon, and said with a smile: "Don't tell me, this watermelon is quite sweet. These watermelons can sell for three million, which is amazing... If I had known that watermelons were so profitable, I would have
We should grow watermelons."
"The price of watermelon only increased last year," Ye Mo said.
"I know..." Father Ye glanced at him and smiled: "Just talking."
Last year, due to environmental factors, the prices of various fruits increased.
In the past years, watermelons cost a few cents per catty and more than one yuan per catty. This was still the price bought in the town...
If it's the field price, it's even cheaper.
The current watermelon also depends on the season. In summer, after June, the price of watermelon is not expensive. Last year, in Hongshan Town, the watermelon sold by carts cost two yuan per catty. However, those watermelons were relatively average. But
Even at this price, it is much more expensive than in previous years.
After sitting for a while, the father and son got up, moved the steel frame, and continued to build the awning.
Building an awning is easy and doesn't take much effort.
In one morning, four awnings were built. Including the one built yesterday, there are five awnings in total.
After lunch, Ye Mo went to the melon field to pick some more watermelons, took photos and sent them to Li Xuebin and Gao Yuan.
Later, Li Xuebin called and said: "The watermelon is ripe."
"We should be able to pick it tomorrow." Ye Mo said.
"Okay, I'll come over and take a look tomorrow morning." Li Xuebin said, "The first batch, 45 tons."
"No problem." After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuan also called.
"Very busy." Gao Yuan said with a smile on the phone.
"I happened to answer a phone call just now." Ye Mo said: "My boss asked for 45 tons of watermelon. There should be some left, estimated to be about 10 tons... Do you want it?"
"How much?"
"The quotation given by the boss is about 5 yuan. For the specific price, I will inspect the goods tomorrow and then we will set the price." Ye Mo said.
"About 5 yuan, the farm price?" Gao Yuan scratched his head.
"Yes, we are responsible for loading the truck."
"Okay, I'll go over and have a look tomorrow morning." Gao Yuan was surprised. The price of 5 yuan was very high, and it cost 45 tons at a time. In Huacheng, there weren't many fruit sellers with this level of strength: "By the way, that boss's name is
What name?"
"Li Xuebin, Boss Li. You should know him."
"He." Gao Yuan was silent for a while and said, "We know him, we have dealt with him before. Okay, see you tomorrow."
In the early years, Gao Yuan, like Li Xuebin, purchased fruits in large quantities and then distributed them. This business is highly competitive. In the early years, he competed with Li Xuebin for the share of mangoes in Dongmen Town, but he could not beat him. So he quit purchasing large quantities of fruits...
…turned to wholesale of fine fruits and rare fruits.
Gao Yuan's markets are mainly in Chengdu and Chongqing. Compared with Li Xuebin's, Gao Yuan's sales volume is far behind.
Li Xuebin is one of the largest fruit dealers in Huacheng, with a wide range of business.
Li Xuebin is the big boss of the company, but his main responsibility is not sales, but finding supply sources. Li Xuebin has a saying in the industry: In fruit sales, supply is king. If you have a good supply, you will not have to worry about losing sales...
…
Li Xuebin's company, in addition to its own sales, also cooperates with several large e-commerce platforms. This cooperation is not to sell goods on them, but to supply goods to the platforms.
The year before last, local mango prices suddenly skyrocketed because of a "four-year 700,000-ton mango export strategic agreement," in which Li Xuebin's company obtained a 50,000-ton supply and sales agreement.
Li Xuebin's is a big company, and Ye Mo's watermelon seems to be a lot, but to be honest, for their company, it's not a big deal.
…
"Tomorrow, we will sell watermelons." Ye Mo looked at the endless watermelon fields, stretched hard, and got on the car...
The sun was shining brightly for a while, and the car seat cushions burned my buttocks.
Ye Mo rode his bike to the reservoir.
As the weather gets hotter, the crayfish in the reservoir come out more and more frequently.
The number of crayfish inside is not particularly large. The winter here is not too cold, and there are crayfish out and about throughout the winter.
Occasionally, in his free time, his uncle and the others would come over to catch crayfish, and Ye Mo would also go to the ground to catch some crayfish and take them back to eat.
More and less are just relative terms.
Now, some of the crayfish in the reservoir have begun to lay eggs.
Ye Mo got out of the ground cage and netted hundreds of crayfish, and he could see a dozen crayfish holding eggs.
Ye Mo picked out crayfish with eggs and waited until dark to catch more than two hundred crayfish with eggs, and then sent these crayfish to the small reservoir outside the house.
The aquatic plants in the small reservoir have also grown. The density of aquatic plants is higher than that in the large reservoir...
Last month, Ye Mo also threw a water-condensing charm into the small reservoir.
The water-condensing talisman has a miraculous effect. Before the water-condensing talisman was put in, the water in the small reservoir was still a little turbid. After only ten days, the water quality became clear.
In winter and spring, there is less rainfall and strong sunshine...the water in the reservoir has a large amount of evaporation.
In the small reservoir, the water level dropped by more than a drop of meter.
But in large reservoirs, the water level dropped by less than half a meter.
Before casting the water-condensing talisman, Ye Mo lived near the reservoir and felt that the air was dry. But now, the air clearly feels much moister.
The water condensing talisman is still very useful. But this thing is expensive...
A water-condensing talisman made of spiritual jade. A piece of spiritual jade can be sold outside for millions. The water-condensing talisman is equivalent to a long-term investment. I hope you won't lose money.
