Ye Mo asked Mistress Xiaomian to help him bring some more...
Not counting the people from Ye Mo's side, a total of twenty people came.
Some people helped carry the watermelons, and some people cleaned the old vines of the watermelons.
What we picked today were 'Chaos' melons. There are more than a dozen varieties, and most of them are mature. Most of them are mini watermelons. For example, Bee Small Watermelon, Jin Linglong Watermelon, Crispy Mouth, Huang Xiaoyu, Xiaolan Watermelon, Jingxiu 8424...
…
Now that the watermelons are ripe, Ye Mo can now distinguish them except for a few iconic varieties. Ye Mo can't remember the names of other watermelons.
Some watermelons are ripe and some are not yet ripe.
Too much variety is not a good thing.
Among the watermelons here, Ye Mo also kept some particularly beautiful-looking watermelons and planted them.
"Mr. Ye."
Ye Mo was carrying two baskets of watermelons when he came out and saw Gao Yuan and Zhang Yuanqiao.
"I'm busy." Zhang Yuanqiao said with a smile.
"There's not much work today." Ye Mo picked the watermelon into the shed, picked up a golden watermelon, and put it on the table: "Come here and eat the watermelon."
"This watermelon is quite beautiful," Zhang Yuanqiao said.
"The watermelons I grow are all beautiful." Ye Mo smiled.
The two smiled and each took a piece of watermelon...
The taste of watermelon is not particularly sweet, just the sweetness of ordinary watermelon, with high water content and good taste.
"How much does Boss Li quote for these Jin Linglong?"
"It's still 5.5 yuan. The price of packing..." Ye Mo shrugged and said.
"Put a few hundred for me later," Gao Yuan said.
Ye Mo nodded.
Gao Yuan also wants these watermelons in the box.
Each piece weighs about three kilograms, so Gao Yuan loaded it into a truck, a van... and packed it with boxes, which is more than seven hundred.
Zhang Yuanqiao wanted to go over to see his big watermelon, and Ye Mo went with him...
"How much does the biggest watermelon weigh?"
"289 pounds." Ye Mo pointed to a watermelon in the middle of the greenhouse.
The watermelons here are quite big. There are probably fifty or sixty of them weighing more than 200 kilograms.
It's less than 200 jins, but it's almost 200 jins.
"There is no one that weighs three hundred pounds."
"A watermelon weighing 300 kilograms is difficult to cultivate." Ye Mo said, "I have specially bred more than a dozen watermelons. They are estimated to mature in August and may grow to 300 kilograms."
It's not easy to grow to 300 pounds.
As for this watermelon variety, let alone three hundred catties, it is not easy to grow it to one hundred catties under normal cultivation...
Zhang Yuanqiao knocked on these watermelons and said, "How long will it take for them to mature?"
"Very early."
These watermelons are very beautiful. There is a layer of white frost or other powder on the surface of the melon rind. Wipe it clean... The watermelon rind is very smooth. But it is not mature yet. The surface of the melon rind is smooth but not shiny.
"Many of the watermelons I planted over there are ripe and hollow, and some even cracked inside the greenhouse..." Zhang Yuanqiao looked at the big watermelons in front of him and said, "I picked a few smaller ones from these melons.
Go back and make decorations."
Ye Mo nodded, helped pick three of the best-looking melons, and helped them carry them to the car.
As mentioned before, one weighing 150-230 kilograms costs 20,000 yuan each.
Zhang Yuan picked three of the smallest melons, estimated to weigh more than 180 kilograms.
"These melons are cheaper for me. When these watermelons mature, I will pack them all according to the price I mentioned before," Zhang Yuanqiao said.
"It's a sample, given free of charge." Ye Mo said with a smile.
Zhang Yuanqiao clasped his hands in his fists and laughed loudly: "Boss Ye is very generous. I heard from Lao Gao that the wholesale price of your watermelon... is 5.5 yuan?"
"Um."
"That's not bad." Zhang Yuanqiao looked towards the melon field.
"It's quite okay..."
The two chatted for a while, and after Gao Yuan finished loading the car, they left.
The mess of small watermelons all took about the same amount of time to plant. They were all small watermelons and could be picked in two days.
There are more than 7,000 plants in total.
The watermelon is smaller than the Kirin watermelon, with an output of only 44 tons.
If it is Kirin watermelon, the output should be about 80 tons.
The yield is low, so in total... we lost 36 tons. If we planted all the Kirin watermelons, we could make an extra 400,000 yuan.
After picking the messy little watermelons, they rested for a few days, and the remaining watermelons were not yet ripe. In the past few days, Ye Mo was tidying up the melon fields, watering the watermelon vines, and watering some spiritual springs to help the melon vines recover faster.
As time goes by, there are more watermelons on the market, and the price has dropped a bit compared to some time ago.
There are only three varieties left in Ye Mo, Golden Beauty, Black Beauty, and Xinong No. 8. Each variety has 13,000 plants...
Ye Mo's previous watermelons were basically sent to the Guangzhou market. Although the price was high, the sales volume was very good.
Those 'mixed variety' small watermelons are better sold than the previous Kirin watermelons, especially some rare varieties.
Golden Beauty is also a rare species.
Golden melon rind, red melon pulp...
The sweetness is a little worse than Kirin Watermelon, but the taste is about the same.
If these golden beauties mature at the same time as the Kirin watermelon, the price will definitely be more expensive than the Kirin watermelon, and much more expensive.
But now, there are more watermelons on the market.
After Li Xuebin came to see the goods, he was given a price of 5.1 yuan.
The quotation given by Gao Yuan was 5 yuan... The quantity he wanted was not large. After learning that Li Xuebin had offered 5.1 yuan, he also added a dime and ordered 30 tons.
Now that I have money on hand, I don’t need to be so big. I can just hire people to pick and load the truck. Let my uncle and the others rest for a few days...
Ye Mo just had to wait and load the car.
In just one day, Jinmeiren finished picking watermelons, picking a total of 163.77 tons worth 1.67 million.
Ye Mo calculated his income...
The previous mixed watermelons were more than 44 tons, worth 486,000.
Kirin watermelon has the largest planting area, with a revenue of 1.885 million.
After Jin Meiren's account is settled, there will be 4.041 million.
The latter two varieties of watermelon, Black Beauty... one plant and one melon.
It is estimated that there are 11,500 plants.
Those black beauties are beautiful, but they are a bit big.
What Ye Mo bought was obviously just an ordinary Black Beauty watermelon, with the individual weight written on it being '7-9 pounds'.
When Ye Mo is grown, each one weighs more than 17 kilograms, and the big one... weighs about 20 kilograms.
I used an electronic scale to weigh them before and calculated the approximate average weight. Each one weighed about 18.3 kilograms.
During this season, there are very few domestically produced Black Beauty watermelons and the price is also expensive.
But there are imported ones, and the selling price online is about 7 yuan per catty. Of course, the black beauties sold online are definitely not as beautiful as the ones sold in Ye Mo...
Another Xinong No. 8, a four-melon plant. This was originally an extra-large variety of watermelon. Two were left on each vine, and it was forcibly transformed into a medium-sized watermelon... The current weight of each watermelon is about
About 9 pounds.
The fruit shape is quite beautiful.
But this variety of watermelon is a large variety. Even if it doesn't grow particularly large, it still retains some of the characteristics of a large watermelon. That is, the watermelon skin is thick and strong.
The Black Beauty watermelon is not yet ripe, so it will probably take another three or four days.
