Ye Mo opened another coconut for himself and one for Zhou Minghai.
"It's really good...these coconuts are really good." Li Xuebin finished another coconut, picked up a hatchet, chopped the coconut open, and took out the soft meat inside. The soft meat was sweet and a little crispy.
Zhou Minghai chuckled.
After chatting for a while, Ye Mo helped load the coconuts into their car, and then headed to the melon field together.
Kirin watermelon is small, thin-skinned and highly sweet.
Ye Mo picked one out, cut it open, and the two of them tasted it.
The fruit shape of this second crop of melon is still very beautiful. The taste is average... quite sweet.
Watermelons are already cheap now.
The wholesale price in the field, unless it is particularly good, can still be sold at a high price. The lower price is more than two yuan per catty.
As for ordinary watermelon, about one piece.
The cheapest large watermelon costs a few cents per catty, which is the kind that weighs twenty or thirty catties each.
Li Xuebin quoted Ye Mo’s batch of watermelons at 1.58 yuan before.
"Not bad." Li Xuebin looked at Zhou Haiming.
Zhou Haiming nodded: "There shouldn't be much of a problem if we enter supermarket sales."
"Does Boss Gao still want the watermelons you have here?" Li Xuebin looked at Ye Mo and asked.
Ye Mo shook his head and said: "Gaoyuan mainly deals in high-quality and rare fruits. Now this batch of watermelons is no longer a scarce resource."
Li Xuebin smiled and nodded, saying: "This batch of watermelons is pretty good. I gave you 1.58 yuan before, and I will give you a little more, 1.85 yuan. The small mixed melons over there are 2.2 yuan per catty. The golden beauty is 2.5 yuan per catty.
Yuan... Jinmeiren is quite beautiful. Few people grow this kind of watermelon, and the price is quite strong."
"It's estimated that it will take the middle of the month to finish picking, so the price will be fixed?" Ye Mo said.
"It's fixed. The fruit shape of these watermelons is still very beautiful, and it can make small profits but quick turnover. Besides, watermelons can be stored for a long time..."
Ye Mo saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law feeding crayfish, and said, "Okay, the price has been negotiated. Do you want to eat crayfish? Go over and catch some. The crayfish here are not bragging. They are higher per kilogram than others."
Crayfish are several dollars more expensive.”
"Hahaha... well, we know." Zhou Minghai said.
"Forget it for today, take it home and cook it yourself, how troublesome it is. Your crayfish is sold by a boss named Zhang, right?"
"Zhang Wenhua, do you know him too?"
"I don't know... the late night snack shop where we often eat, the owner buys the goods from Boss Zhang. A few days ago, we ate crayfish for 25 yuan a portion, but these two days it was 36 yuan a portion, and the business is also very special
Okay." Li Xuebin said.
There are very few crayfish cultured in large reservoirs, so it is easy to guess that they are the crayfish here in Yemo.
Ye Mo smiled, got into Li Xuebin's car, and said, "What do you think of the quality of the crayfish here?"
"Dingguagua." The two of them said with a smile.
In the past, when they ate crayfish, they basically didn’t eat the shrimp brains, or there were no shrimp brains at all.
The crayfish here at Ye Mo has firm meat and plump brains.
"That's right, the crayfish here are too small. They're not satisfying to eat..."
"The reservoir outside my house is going to be reserved for raising 1 tael of shrimp. When it comes to the market, those big shrimps should be delicious to eat."
A few people chatted and laughed and returned to the warehouse. The pickers had finished picking and were almost finished loading the car.
Li Xuebin and the others said a few words to the driver, said goodbye and left.
Sultry and muggy.
Ye Mo also said hello to Uncle Xiaomian and the others: "Get off work after loading the truck. For the work in the melon field, get up early tomorrow... By the way, we will pay you wages later."
"Aren't wages paid in the middle of the month?" Zhou Yue asked with a smile.
"Sooner or later, sooner or later." Ye Mo smiled and said, "I'll go back first."
Today's maximum temperature is 43 degrees Celsius, which is much higher than the body temperature.
Not to mention working, even playing outside can easily lead to heatstroke.
Return home.
Lin Xiaomian is cooking in the kitchen.
Ye Mo took the money into the living room and counted the banknotes.
I have a money counter at home, and it counts money very quickly.
Except for Wang Rong's father, everyone else works for 27 days, which costs 260 yuan per day, which is 7,020 yuan.
Adding an additional 200 yuan in living expenses allowance each month, you can actually only get 7,220 yuan.
Ye Mo's salary for each person is 7,800 yuan, which is hundreds of dollars more.
As for Wang Rong's father, he only worked for 14 days, so Ye Mo gave him 4,000 yuan.
"That's a lot of money." Lin Xiaomian cooked some vegetables and came over.
"One month's salary for the workers." Ye Mo said: "A total of 121,000 yuan. There is still cash left here, which you can use for your mother's living expenses at home."
"This is too much."
"Not much. I'm going to call my parents and ask if they are coming back for dinner." Ye Mo looked outside and saw that the sky was getting dark, and he guessed that there would be another heavy rainstorm.
Go upstairs and turn on the air conditioner and charge your mobile phone, otherwise there will be a heavy rain and there will be a power outage.
Lin Xiaomian set out the dishes and chopsticks upstairs.
Waiting for my parents to come back, I will start eating.
Ye Mo gave Dad some beer and said, "Dad, after dinner, come with me to the staff dormitory to pay everyone's wages."
"Yeah." Lin Shan nodded: "How much per person?"
"Wang Rong's father only worked for 14 days, so he was given 4,000 yuan." Ye Mo said: "None of the others asked for leave last month, right?"
"No one asked for leave."
"I gave them 7,800 yuan per person," Ye Mo said. This salary is not low. A couple working here can get 15,600 yuan.
"The wages here are not low." Lin Shan took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "In total, the two of us here will earn more than fifteen thousand. This is much more than what we earned as plasterers before..."
"Is it easier to be a plasterer or to work here?"
"It's not easy to say it's easy..." Xiaomian said, "It's quite tiring to work here."
Ye Mo nodded and said: "This is only the first month. From now on, when I start working here, I will also increase everyone's salary..."
After eating, Ye Mo heard the muffled thunder.
Ye Mo and Lin Shan, father and son, drove to the staff dormitory...
I had an early morning shift today.
Master Liu and the others went out to buy braised pork, braised duck, and cold dishes and came back... Everyone was in the restaurant, drinking and eating.
"They're all here." Ye Mo and Lin Shan walked in and said with a smile.
"Why are you here? Come and sit down." Master Liu greeted.
They just called Lin Shan and asked him to come over for a drink.
Lin Shan sat down unceremoniously: "Here comes the wine."
"Hahaha..." Master Li smiled and handed over a bottle of beer.
"Boss Ye, come over and have a drink."
"Right away... let me talk about wages first." Ye Mo said: "Last month, Uncle Wang worked for 14 days. The rest of them didn't take a break for 27 days... so I will give everyone a little more salary this month.
Each person is 7,800 yuan. This includes living allowance. Master Li, your family is 15,600 yuan, click here."
"What do you order? We still can't trust Boss Ye." Master Li took the money and said with a smile.
"It's not a question of whether you can trust me or not. Let's make an agreement first. If you don't order the money, if you pay less, I turn around and you order the wrong amount. I'm not serious..." Ye Mo said and gave Master Li, Master Zhang...
...Zhou Yue... everyone paid.
15,600 yuan seems quite rich.
The money passed through the hands of the men and then handed over to the women. The women began to count the banknotes...
"Can you transfer money to us in the future?" Zhou Yue said: "Every time you find cash, it's quite troublesome."
