When we arrived at Tang Xun's house, the family of seven was preparing to have dinner. They also had a little kid at school...
"Why don't you come here at the right time? It's just right, not too early and not too late." Tang Xun saw Ye Mo and said with a smile.
"We just ordered it." Ye Mo smiled and said, "What are we going to eat?"
"Stir-fried meat with bitter bamboo shoots, stir-fried meat with bitter melon, and some red bean sprouts." Tang Xun stood up and got them bowls and chopsticks...
Lin Xiaomian said quickly: "We have eaten."
"It's so early... let's have some more." Tang Xun walked straight to the kitchen.
Wang Yue brought a stool for them: "Come here at this time, what's the matter?"
Lin Xiaomian took out the money.
Ye Mo said: "More than half of the watermelons have been sold, and I have a lot of money. I calculated the money according to the working day, and everyone has it... This is yours, it's all in it."
"So much?" Tang Xun looked at the red plastic bag. The money in it must be at least hundreds of thousands: "How much is it?"
"160,000. Don't tell anyone. Don't show off your wealth." Ye Mo smiled and handed the money to Tang Xun.
"It's only been a few months, 160,000? Did you give me too much?"
"You do the math yourself." Ye Mo took the bowl of rice from Wang Yue and said, "This money will be included in the wages for the next few days."
Tang Xun knew that Ye Mo had made a lot of money, so he didn't hesitate and accepted it happily. He said with a smile: "160,000 is still okay. For our family, it should be enough for one year's expenses."
"Your family can spend more than 100,000 yuan a year?"
"There are 8 people."
The uncle and aunt smiled: "When will you pick the remaining watermelons you have?" Tang Ming said.
"It should be the day after tomorrow. Li Xuebin will come over tomorrow to take a look and then determine the picking time."
"Those black beauties of yours are beautiful, so they should be able to sell for a high price." Wang Hao said.
It's only mid-April, summer hasn't entered yet.
In the south, many temperatures are getting hotter, but not particularly hot. The black beauties grown by Ye Mo weigh an average of more than 18 pounds each, and the fruit shape is beautiful...but too big.
An 18-pound watermelon can be eaten in summer...if there are two or three people in a family.
But at this time, most places are not particularly hot yet.
And there are more watermelons on the market.
There are also watermelons selling in Hongshan Town. They cost about 5 yuan per pound. They are the watermelons we usually eat...ordinary watermelons.
The watermelons grown by Ye Mo are all very beautiful, but the purchase price of the land is not particularly high.
The watermelons purchased by Li Xuebin were sent to Guangzhou, and then distributed level by level. Li Xuebin wanted to make money, and the distributors also wanted to make money... In the final sales process, others also wanted to make money.
No matter how good the quality is, the price will not be particularly high if the quantity is large.
Black Beauty watermelon must be sold for less than five yuan per catty.
If it can be sold for four yuan per catty, Ye Mo thinks it's good.
Ye Mo shook his head and said: "It's hard to say...those Black Beauty watermelons are too big. If they cost four yuan per catty, they're pretty good."
"The watermelons sold in town cost more than five yuan per catty," Tang Xun said.
"Then I'll give it to you wholesale for four yuan per catty, and you can go out and sell it at a stall." Ye Mo said.
"Three yuan and one catty, let me think about it." Tang Xun said with a smile.
"It's a beautiful thought."
Ye Mo smiled and took a bite of the fried pork with bitter bamboo shoots. It tasted really good.
Eating bitter bamboo shoots for the first time this year...
"How much do these bitter bamboo shoots cost per catty?" Ye Mo asked.
"8 yuan." Tang Xun said.
"It's a bit expensive," Ye Mo said.
These bitter bamboo shoots are actually more expensive than my own watermelon...
"How much does your uncle's bamboo shoots cost per pound?" Wang Yue said, "We want to make some dried bamboo shoots."
"The bamboo shoots they have there are very cheap. Wild bamboo shoots cost only two or three yuan per catty, and they will help you peel the bamboo shoots out of their shells..."
"Please help me ask. We will drive there tomorrow to load a few hundred kilograms."
"Have you finished eating several hundred kilograms?"
"We will eat all the crayfish from dozens of acres of your reservoir... just hundreds of kilograms of dried bamboo shoots without eating them."
"Let me ask for you."
After dinner, Ye Mo called his uncle to find out the price of bamboo shoots.
Now is the time when bamboo shoots are on the market in large quantities. The price of wild bamboo shoots is 1 yuan per catty without shelling. The price after shelling is 2.7 yuan per catty...
However, the dried bamboo shoots made from wild bamboo shoots have a more average taste.
The most delicious dried bamboo shoots are ‘water bamboo shoots’.
"Dried bamboo shoots are the most delicious, but they are also more expensive. Peeled dried bamboo shoots cost 7 yuan per catty." Ye Mo took the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
"Okay, I'll go out and collect it for you. What time will you come over tomorrow to load the car?" Uncle Ye Mo's voice came over the phone.
"Around ten o'clock in the morning." Tang Xun said.
"good."
"Buy that much?" Ye Mo looked at Tang Xun.
"There are 300 kilograms of bamboo shoots dried in the sun, not much. Everyone in our family likes to eat dried bamboo shoots... I will drive the pickup truck tomorrow and help me load it back." Tang Xun said.
"Okay...it's getting late, let's go back." Ye Mo said.
"We will go fishing in the reservoir later in the evening. The water level in the reservoir is very low, and there are a lot of fish in it," Tang Xun said.
"Go back and take a nap and call you."
Return home.
Xiaomian's father is wearing a hat and is by the reservoir.
After going back and parking the car, Ye Mo came out and called out: "Uncle?"
"ah?"
"Is it hot under such a big sun?" Ye Mo asked.
Lin Shan smiled and walked over.
Ye Mo poked Lin Xiaomian.
Lin Xiaomian turned her head and looked at Ye Mo with big innocent eyes: "What are you doing?"
Ye Mo looked at Lin Shan, a little embarrassed: "It's nothing. It's a bit hot. I went upstairs to take a lunch break."
Lin Shan looked at Ye Mo who was returning to the house, then turned to Lin Xiaomian: "Is something wrong?"
"Ye Mo paid everyone's wages." Lin Xiaomian said, "I gave eldest lady and the others 50,000 yuan."
Lin Shan nodded.
Lin Xiaomian smiled and said: "When we came back with the money, Ye Mo was debating whether to calculate the money for you and mom. He was worried that if he gave you money, you would be unhappy. If he didn't say anything, he would feel bad."
Lin Shan smiled and said, "It's up to us whether you give it to us or not."
Lin Xiaomian shook his head: "He said that if my son calculates his wages for me, there will be thunder and lightning. Even if he gives me money, it is still filial piety, and it cannot be said to be wages..."
Lin Shan smiled: "Have you really thought about getting a marriage certificate with Ye Mo?"
Lin Xiaomian nodded slightly, a little embarrassed: "You and mother, don't object."
"What are you objecting to? It's too late for us to be happy. Ye Mo is a very nice person and can make money..." Lin Shan said with a smile: "You can enjoy happiness by following him."
"What blessings are you enjoying? I'm exhausted every day." Lin Xiaomian had a coquettish look on her face.
"You lived too comfortably before." Lin Shan smiled and touched Lin Xiaomian's head: "After you graduate and leave school, you will be a real adult. Once you are an adult, you have to make money. If you want to make money, you don't want to work hard.
