Ye Mo took the flashlight and car keys, and Lin Xiaomian chased him out and followed Ye Mo out.
To raise a second crop of melons, after harvesting the first crop of melons and cleaning up the old vines, you need to irrigate the melon fields, giving enough water at one time to revive the vitality of the melon vines.
"Tomorrow's melons will still be $5.5. Doesn't that mean that just a Kirin melon can earn more than one million?" Lin Xiaomian sat in the passenger seat, turned on the interior lights, and asked.
"Yeah." Ye Mo smiled and nodded: "About 1.8 million."
Lin Xiaomian opened her mouth, 1.8 million... She has never seen so much money in her life.
When they arrived at the reservoir, Lin Xiaomian helped with the flashlight while Ye Mo connected the hose to the water pump.
From the water pumping station to the nearest watermelon field, it is more than 60 meters away.
The water pumping station uses a high-power and high-lift pump with a large water output. Using this pump to irrigate the melon fields can be done in an hour.
Connect the water pipe to the melon field, where there are dug ditches...
There is a crescent moon tonight and the stars are bright in the sky.
Helping to connect the water pipe to the melon field, Lin Xiaomian trotted back and turned on the switch. From a distance, Ye Mo could hear the sound of the water pump. After a while... a large stream of water spurted out from the water pipe.
This time the irrigation needs to soak the soil, Ye Mo holds the water pipe, moistens the soil around the melons and vines, and more importantly, pours water into the ditches.
As for water and fertilizer, wait until the new vines of the melon vines grow.
I used to give a lot of organic fertilizers. During the expansion period of the watermelons, Ye Mo gave cake fertilizers and organic fertilizers... There are still more organic fertilizers in the soil. From now on, I will give them compound fertilizers, urea and other fertilizers.
The water output of the water pump is extremely large, and it can pump more than 20 tons of water per hour.
It hasn't rained here for a long time. This time the watering needed to soak the soil, so it took a little longer.
After watering more than ten acres of melon fields, I went back and closed the water gate. There was no need to clean up the water pipes. They were left on the roadside... they will be used later.
The starry sky at night is extremely bright.
After finishing his business, Ye Mo picked up Lin Xiaomian with a smile and went back to the car.
The car has a panoramic sunroof, and when you turn on the car's ambient lights, the atmosphere instantly becomes ambiguous.
This was not the first time that the two of them had been ambiguous in the car. Lin Xiaomian was still shy, and her little face was red, which was really cute.
When I got home, Xiaomian's parents had already gone to bed.
When the two of them returned upstairs, Lin Xiaomian's face was still red and she was so embarrassed.
…
the next day.
Lin Xiaomian is going to her eldest lady's house to help...
Her eldest lady found some wasteland in the valley, which was overgrown with weeds.
Because of the drought, those weeds have withered and turned yellow.
Lin Xiaomian drove a small excavator over to help clean up the weeds...
As for the work of plowing the soil, just wait until the weeds are cleared and drive the tractor over.
It only takes a few acres and can be done in one day.
Ye Mo and the others went to the melon field after breakfast, picking watermelons and cutting melon vines.
Xiaomian's eldest maid and uncle also came over.
Cleaning up weeds in wasteland, plowing the soil... These things are done by machines. They just watch from the edge of the fields, but they can't be of much help, so they come over and continue to help pick watermelons...
There are more than thirty people picking watermelons today.
Li Xuebin came over personally and brought some people to help load the truck.
The temperature is low in the morning, so the picked watermelons are loaded directly into the truck.
Usually, watermelons picked in the evening are sweeter. However, if they are ripe enough, they are almost the same if picked in the morning or in the evening.
Everyone is busy picking watermelons.
Li Xuebin went over and looked at Jin Linglong and Jin Meiren.
Jin Linglong only has 2 acres. These watermelons have yellow skin and red flesh. They are very small...each one is estimated to weigh only about 3 pounds. But the appearance is very beautiful. For this variety, the appearance is perfect.
These watermelons grown by Ye Mo are all beautiful in appearance.
Li Xuebin knocked on these watermelons and found one that was ripe and very mature. It was estimated to be eighty-nine ripe...
He flicked it lightly, and there was a popping sound. With a little force, the skin of the melon suddenly burst open.
The melon pulp inside is just right in maturity and is darker in color than the seven or eight-year-old Kirin melon.
There are many small varieties of watermelons planted here in Ye Mo. These small watermelons can be picked now. And this Jin Linglong can also be picked in the evening.
Li Xuebin walked out of the melon field holding the watermelon and tasted it...
The taste is not as sweet as Kirin melon, but the texture is very good. It is crisp and sweet in the mouth...
The rind of this variety of watermelon is extremely thin, even thinner than that of Kirin melon.
Li Xuebin ate watermelon and walked up to Ye Mo: "Mr. Ye..."
"Hey." Ye Mo turned his head.
"These exquisite golden watermelons, as well as rare varieties such as little bees, need boxes when loading into the car. The skin of the melons is too thin. I will trouble you a lot when I come to pack them." Li Xuebin said with a smile.
"Pack a box, it's nothing to worry about." Ye Mo said.
Li Xuebin smiled and said: "How about Jin Linglong packed with other small watermelons for 5.5 yuan...?"
"Okay." Ye Mo said: "Jin Linglong Watermelon High School wants a ton. President Gao and I are friends, so it's hard to refuse."
Li Xuebin nodded: "It doesn't matter. The remaining small watermelons will be packed and shipped to me. I won't come here in person tomorrow, but I will still send a few people over to help load the car. Can you help with lunch."
"We can just eat together, no problem."
Li Xuebin smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Some of the varieties of mini melons you planted are more expensive. But, the varieties are too complicated, so I'll give you a package price."
"Which varieties are more valuable?" Ye Mo bought 4 watermelon varieties, but there were more than a dozen watermelon varieties given as gifts.
Ye Mo really doesn’t know which varieties are more expensive.
"Jin Linglong is more expensive. If you go to Yunnan, where there are more merchants who collect watermelons... Jin Linglong of your grade should be worth 8 yuan." Li Xuebin said: "It is more expensive and has yellow skin and small gold.
Phoenix, black-skinned and yellow-soiled melons... are all good, but they are too complicated and there are not many varieties of each."
"Those small-scale watermelon plantings all provide seeds as gifts. I originally bought four varieties, and more than a dozen varieties of watermelons were given to me as gifts." Ye Mo smiled.
"Hahaha...that's it."
After chatting with Ye Mo for a while, Li Xuebin said goodbye and left.
Ye Mo grows a lot of messy watermelons, but they are all very beautiful, especially some of the very small watermelons, each weighing only about 2 kilograms, or just over 1 kilogram. The fruit shape of those watermelons is very beautiful, even in the local area,
It can also be sold at a high price.
The price of Kirin watermelon is 5.5 yuan per kilogram, which is indeed a bit high, but those messy small watermelons grown by Ye Mo are not expensive at all at 5.5 yuan. Even if you go to those "bulk traders", you can still sell them at a good price.
