In the watermelon field of Gaoshanping, another cart was filled with watermelons. Ye Mo took out his phone and looked at it...
The third transfer came via SMS.
Counting the newly loaded car of watermelons, four cars were loaded today.
Each truck of watermelons weighs about 23 tons and is worth about 250,000 yuan.
Ye Mo shouted: "There is still the last car, let's take a rest and then work hard together."
"Take a rest." Liu Bin pulled on his clothes, fanned himself, and sat on the roadside.
Ye Mo picked up two baskets of watermelons and came to the roadside. When he saw the workers on Li Xuebin's side, he shouted: "Master He, take a rest and come over to eat watermelons."
Master He and the others also put down what they were doing and came over.
"Everyone is welcome to do it yourself."
At this time, everyone was very tired and no one talked.
Ye Mo came over to Ye Ran, Zhang Xia and Wang Yue and handed them watermelons and said, "After eating the melons, you will go back to cook. Can you prepare dinner for thirty people?"
"It's not a big problem." Wang Yue said, "My mother has picked up the child and can help."
"It's so hot." Ye Ran sat next to Chen Chen: "Are you tired?"
"Not tired." Chen Chen shook his head.
Ye Mo looked at Chen Chen and smiled.
This scene reminded Ye Mo of the days when he went to Lin Xiaomian's house to thresh grain...
Ye Mo ate half of the watermelon and asked Tang Xun to get a cigarette to light it. He was about to call Lin Xiaomian when she came on a bicycle and gave the cigarette she bought to Ye Mo: "Not finished yet?"
"There is another car." Ye Mo took the cigarettes, opened them... and handed a pack to each of the men present.
In the morning, Wang Yue's mother helped to buy groceries, but she forgot to buy cigarettes.
Lin Xiaomian also took the watermelon and ate it: "About what time can we finish work?"
"We should be able to finish work before eight o'clock." Ye Mo said.
Picking started after three o'clock this afternoon. There are still a lot of watermelons piled in the awning...
As for picking, it will take more than half an hour to finish, and then it’s time to load the truck.
"Have the fields over there been cleared?" Xiaomian's mother asked.
Lin Xiaomian said: "When I came back just now, the work over there was almost finished."
Lin Xiaomian drove an excavator to help clean up the weeds in the wasteland. In the afternoon, Mrs. Xiaomian invited a man to come over and turn over the soil. He was also the owner of the small tractor that Ye Mo borrowed...
After eating watermelon, smoke a cigarette and continue working.
There are not many Kirin watermelons left.
Here, Ye Mo has reserved 30% of the field area for sowing Kirin watermelons...
After all, watermelons are watered by Lingquan. Leave some seeds. If you want to plant watermelons next year, these are high-quality seeds.
All the watermelons were delivered to the conveyor, half of the people helped load the watermelons, and the rest left.
The last truck of watermelons should only be about 20 tons. There were many people loading the truck, and there were three conveyors. It didn’t take long to finish loading...
Ye Mo called Li Xuebin: "Hello, Boss Li."
"ah?"
"We've finished loading the watermelons." Ye Mo said: "There won't be too many watermelons to pick tomorrow. You can ask the car to come over in the afternoon. We will pick the watermelons in the morning and put them in the awning, and then come directly to pack them in the afternoon."
"Okay. I still have two payments. I'll call you tomorrow morning, okay."
"OK."
These watermelons have already earned 1.39 million yuan.
Including labor, fertilizer, etc., after paying back the cost...you have already made a profit.
Ye Mo is not someone who has never seen money. When he was at his richest, he had more than 20 million in his bank account.
But that money came very easily...it was not earned by his hard work, so it seems less real.
Ye Mo has earned this money through hard work.
Even if there is a spiritual spring, it is not easy to cultivate these watermelons. This is more tiring than Ye Mo used to move furniture, and there are more things to worry about.
But now the reward for hard work...this so-called hard work is nothing.
After working hard this year, I have capital. If I want to do something in the future, I can hire someone. Ye Mo is even thinking about hiring an orchard manager for Gaoshanping?
I have to do everything myself, which is so tiring and a bit overwhelming.
Even though there are only 200 acres of melon fields, there is indeed a lot to do.
Ye Mo doesn't know how to manage melons and fruits, that is, there are spiritual springs. But for planting melons and fruits on a large scale, the spiritual springs play a supporting role. Being able to grow top-notch beautiful watermelons means that Ye Mo is also attentive to the management of the melon fields.
Just like the yin and yang sides of a watermelon, if a watermelon lying in a field is not turned over in time, even if there is a spiritual spring... the side that is not exposed to the sun will show a different color.
Turning over about 200,000 watermelons is a lot of work.
Planting these watermelons made Ye Mo very tired himself, and also made the people around him miserable.
When I got home, dinner was already cooked and the table was set.
Mainly bacon and sausages.
Fortunately, I bought a big fat pig last year and a half, so I can cook some bacon every day. Cooking bacon is the easiest. When cooking bacon, you can also cook some vegetables...
There is bacon every day.
These bacons taste very good, and I don’t feel tired of them.
There was a table for Ye Mo and the other young people, a table for his uncle and his friends, and a table for his mother and aunts...
The uncle and his friends were the most lively at the table. They were drinking wine, eating meat, and started bragging.
Auntie and the others didn't know what they were talking about at the table, and there was laughter from time to time.
Ye Mo and the others seemed a little bored when they were at the table.
Picking watermelons is more tiring than managing the time you are used to. Everyone is tired physically and mentally...
Ye Mo looked at Tang Xun and Ye Zhi who were silent: "What are you doing? You are silent."
Ye Zhi looked at Ye Mo and said, "I think it's a waste of land for you to plant durians. The density of durians is too small. You can consider clearing two to three hundred acres of land to grow watermelons."
Ye Mo drank a bowl of wine: "It's too troublesome to grow watermelons, I don't even want to grow them."
"If you don't want to plant it, why don't you keep the seeds?" Tang Xun said.
Ye Mo smiled and said: "You still need to save some seeds. It is not easy to cultivate those watermelons. If you are short of money in the future, you can plant them again."
Tang Xun gave Ye Mo a thumbs up: "You are awesome."
Ye Mo left the seeds, intending to plant them in small quantities in the future... to save the high-quality seeds.
Just like the super-large watermelon in the greenhouse, Ye Mo will also save some seeds and continue to use the spiritual spring to cultivate them next year... these seeds may get better and better.
There are lazy watermelon seeds on the market. Those seeds do not require grafting, have good disease resistance, and are very easy to survive. The lazy watermelon is said to be particularly easy to grow...
Ye Mo has never bought lazy watermelon seeds, but he wants to try them.
Most of the big watermelon seeds left last year were given to Sister Xiaomian, and some were left by Ye Mo. There were more than a dozen seeds, and Ye Mo was raising seedlings. There were still some left, which were sown directly in the backyard. In the vegetable garden, I don't plan to manage it, and I don't water the spiritual spring to see what it will grow into.
Anyway, after these melons are sold, Ye Mo will have money. If it is not particularly necessary later, Ye Mo can save more spiritual springs if he doesn't want to make himself so tired.
