Everyone entered the melon field, cut the watermelons and placed them on both sides of the aisle.
The car cannot be overweight, so it can only carry 23 tons.
There are 400 melons per acre, and 5 melons per plant. The yield per acre is about 11,000 kilograms.
23 tons, which is a little more than 4 acres.
At first, I cut the melons myself and moved the watermelons to the aisle by myself. There were special people behind me who cut the watermelons, and the people behind me moved the watermelons to the aisle.
People from Li Xuebin also came over to help carry the watermelons, and in just one hour, the first step was completed.
It was a bit hot in the afternoon and everyone was sweating.
"Take a rest and eat watermelon." Ye Mo carried two watermelons into the awning, where a table had been set up in advance.
Ye Mo cuts the watermelon into pieces.
Lin Xiaomian and Ye Ran also came in holding watermelons.
"It's so hot." Lin Xiaomian said.
"It should be easy for you guys to transport watermelons on bicycles later," Ye Mo said.
Lin Xiaomian nodded vigorously.
Wang Yue also came over with a watermelon in his arms, took a piece of watermelon and took a bite: "It's so sweet."
Dad and the others, including the workers from Li Xuebin, also came into the shed.
"Eat any watermelon you want, don't be polite." Ye Mo cut eight watermelons in one go and said, "If it's not enough, cut it again."
I ate watermelon, sat and smoked a cigarette, and then went into the melon field with my pole and basket.
The melon fields in the front are close together, so you can just put them in baskets and pick them out.
These watermelons are very uniform in size, with an average weight of 5.5 pounds each, and the fruit shape is also very beautiful.
After weighing, start loading.
Picking started after four o'clock, and loading was completed at almost eight o'clock.
A total of 22.7 tons were loaded, which is 249,700 yuan.
After the weight was reported to Li Xuebin, he then transferred the account to Ye Mo, directly transferring 250,000.
Lin Xiaomian and the others went home after six o'clock to prepare dinner. They were too busy today, so they didn't prepare crayfish.
In the evening there was stewed pig's trotters, roasted chicken with potatoes...
Tang Xun opened a few bottles of beer and looked at Ye Mo: "Will you work overtime tonight?"
"Let's get early tomorrow." Ye Mo said, "We'll start working at six o'clock tomorrow morning."
After dinner, Ye Mo gave the watermelon seeds to Mistress Xiaomian: "These seeds can be sown directly without grafting. The watermelons that grow out will be smaller."
"Grafting with gourds?" Niu Youde asked.
"Xiao Mian has already placed an order for gourd melon seeds online. They will be delivered in two days... The watermelon seeds are raised two days first, and the gourd gourds are two days later." Ye Mo said: "Have you found the watermelon field?
Can the machine drive over? If it can, after loading the car tomorrow, I will drive the excavator over to plow your fields."
"The melon field has been found."
"What about fertilizer? When plowing the fields, you can put fertilizers into the fields..."
"The fertilizer is not ready yet." Niu Youde said: "How much fertilizer is needed to plant 500 plants in one acre?"
"Big watermelons eat a lot of fertilizer. For one acre, you need to prepare about 5 tons of organic fertilizer. 3 tons of fertilizer are used as soil fertilizer, which can also be replaced by manure... 2 tons are used as base fertilizer. This is the fertilizer given when planting watermelons. And also
Prepare some enlargement fat." Ye Mo said: "I will write you a list."
On average, the watermelon fields here in Yemo receive 6 tons of organic fertilizer per acre. When plowing the soil, 4 tons of organic fertilizer per acre are used. When planting, more than 1 ton of base fertilizer is used per acre... and additional fertilizer is added for fruit setting.
.Each acre is almost 6 tons.
After sending everyone away.
Ye Mo stretched and went back upstairs to take a shower...
Lin Xiaomian was lying on the bed, talking on the phone with her mother: "The watermelons have started to be sold."
"Want us to come over and help?"
"Are you free?"
"available."
"Then come over here, shipping watermelons is so annoying."
"Okay, we'll go there tomorrow afternoon."
Xiaomian's mother has already hung up the phone.
"Called my parents again to come over and help with the work." Ye Mo lay down on the bed and took Lin Xiaomian into his arms.
"My parents have finished working on the construction site and are resting at home." Lin Xiaomian said.
"Yeah." Ye Mo was a little tired today, so he lay down and didn't want to move.
"How much did it sell for today?"
"250000."
"so much……"
"It's not bad." Ye Mo smiled: "Our big house is ready. Go to bed early and stop playing with your mobile phone. We have to get up early tomorrow."
"Yeah." Lin Xiaomian put down her phone obediently.
Ye Mo set the alarm clock, and the next day...
Ye Mo got up after five o'clock, went downstairs to cook noodles, and then went to the melon field with Lin Xiaomian.
Lin Xiaomian cut the watermelon, and Ye Mo carried the watermelon to the aisle.
When the sky was dim and bright, Third Uncle and his family came first, followed by... Ye Mo's parents also came.
Second Uncle and Tang Xun also came over very early.
After six o'clock, Ye Mo and the others cut all the watermelons and started transporting them.
Ye Mo called Boss Li: "Hello, Mr. Li..."
"ah?"
"Can the car be weighed on a weighing scale? It's too troublesome to weigh it alone." Ye Mo said.
"Of course." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "If you are willing to walk on the floor scale, we will walk on the floor scale."
"Okay, let's use a weighing scale. It's too troublesome to weigh basket after basket."
"You told me earlier. I thought you didn't want to walk on the weighing scale..." Li Xuebin said.
"When the car passes the weighbridge, just ask the driver to make a video call to me and I will take a look." Ye Mo said, "Weighing alone is too tiring."
"Can."
After hanging up the phone, he took the carloads of watermelons to the pergola and placed them on the straw.
After eight o'clock, the truck arrived. Ye Mo and the others assigned some people to help load the truck, while the remaining people continued to transport the watermelons...
By nine o'clock, it's all done.
Ye Mo followed the driver to the weighbridge.
There is no weighbridge in Hongshan Town. It can only be found near a highway intersection.
The weight of the weighing scale is 23.2417 tons, head and tail removed... 255,600 yuan.
Ye Mo called him the money on his way back.
When we got home, everyone had already made lunch and started eating.
"I'm not waiting for you anymore." Tang Xun said.
"What are you waiting for me to do?" Ye Mo said with a smile, picked up the rice bowl, and ate standing up: "It's past four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still more than ten tons."
"rest assured."
After four o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Yuan came over personally to watch the loading of the truck.
The car still rides on a weighbridge.
Xiaomian's parents also came over. It was only after six o'clock after they finished loading more than ten tons of watermelons.
Ye Mo said: "Mr. Gao, I won't go over and look at the scale. When the weight comes out, you can just send it to me directly."
Gao Yuan smiled and nodded: "When doing business, I like to meet people like you."
"The watermelons that follow are starting to be picked one after another. How many do you want for the next batch?"
"How much does Li Xuebin want?"
"He can eat as much as he wants," Ye Mo said.
"Then give it to him first. My business here is not big. If you have any leftovers, please notify me to come and install them. As for the price, I will give him whatever he gives." Gao Yuan took Ye Mo's cigarette with a smile and lit it.
: "But your reticulated melons and cantaloupes, especially the reticulated melons, must be left to me. The price I quoted for the reticulated melons will definitely be better than the one given by Li Xuebin."
"Okay." Ye Mo smiled. Seeing that Tang Xun and Chen Chen were going to catch crayfish, Ye Mo stopped them: "What are you doing?"
"Go to the reservoir to take a bath, what are you doing?" Tang Xun said.
"I still have life here, don't run away."
"After the car is loaded, I will go back." Gao Yuan said.
"Let's stay and eat."
"After we get back, we have to arrange for those watermelons to be loaded into the car. I have to watch the car pass the weighbridge..."
"Okay." Ye Mo said, "My dad and his friends are catching crayfish in the reservoir. You can take some back with you. Let me tell you, the crayfish I have there are big, fat and delicious."
"Hahaha...ok."
Ye Mo took out his phone and called his father, asking him to pack some crayfish for Boss Gao.
