Ye Mo and the others went back upstairs early and took a nap. They didn't get up until after four o'clock.
"Hey, Boss Li, we've started picking watermelons. The picked watermelons will be sent to the awning first... OK, no problem..." Ye Mo called Li Xuebin and installed an electric fan. The big one used in the factory
An electric fan, coupled with a socket cord several hundred meters long...
When you come to the pergola, first turn on the electric fan, then sprinkle water on the pergola and turn on the electric fan.
The weather is so hot that when you come out of the house, you can feel the scorching heat outside. Sometimes when a gust of wind blows over, it feels like a heat wave is coming over you.
Especially under the pergola, it is even hotter.
Sprinkle water, turn on the electric fan, and quickly cool down the pergola...
Ye Mo took the lead and started picking watermelons, specifically picking ripe watermelons. After picking the watermelons, he cut some vines and spread them on the pergola. He also sprinkled some water on the vines... The picked watermelons were placed in the aisle of the melon field.
After picking some, the female workers continued picking and the male workers started transporting.
Ye Mo picked up the watermelons, and after only working for a while, his clothes were soaked with sweat.
It's really annoying.
Ye Mo carried the watermelons to the pergola and took them out one by one.
Kirin melon has an extremely thin skin.
Due to the continuous high temperatures in recent days, some melons have reached 90% ripeness.
It was picking in the afternoon again, and the pressure inside the watermelons was high. You didn't even need to exert too much force to pop the watermelons.
These watermelons should be handled with care.
After placing the watermelon, spray some water with a watering can and blow the electric fan... This can quickly cool down the watermelon, making it easier to load the car at night.
"Ma'am, eldest aunt." Ye Mo was holding his collar to blow the wind, when aunt Xiaomian and aunt came over.
"Hey." The two of them responded with a smile: "Are these melons fully ripe?"
"Most of them are ripe. There are still a few that are not counted and need to be picked..." Ye Mo said.
"Then your aunt and I will help with the transportation." Niu Yougui said with a smile. They also bought an off-road dump truck... These dump trucks also have shock-absorbing devices.
Nowadays, the watermelons are closer to the melon shed, so they can be carried in baskets, which is faster.
Everyone moved very quickly. After a while, they collected the nearby watermelons and started to use the car.
Ye Mo bought 4 off-road dump trucks. They use one at home and three in the warehouse... plus Mrs. Xiao Mian and her family, they have 5 off-road dump trucks.
Someone is dedicated to getting off the vehicle, someone is dedicated to loading the vehicle, and someone is transporting (helping to get on and off the vehicle)...
After five o'clock, Ye Mo's father, second uncle, third uncle, Tang Xun's father and father-in-law also rode over.
Picking watermelons is still very annoying, everyone came to help, and the progress was very fast.
The watermelons to be picked today include unicorn melons and small mixed melons. Later, I will help load the cart together.
Lin Xiaomian came over, carrying salt tea and Huoxiang Zhengqi water.
"Each person has a cup of Huoxiang Zhengqi. Drink it and continue working. Don't get heat stroke." Ye Mo shouted, and then gave it to the female workers.
"I'm so touched. In order to prevent us from getting heatstroke, the boss personally distributed Huoxiang Zhengqi..." Zhou Yue took the Huoxiang Zhengqi water, laughed and drank it in one gulp.
"You son of a bitch, whether you like to drink or not, no one will care about you if you don't drink and you get heatstroke." Master Liu said with an angry smile.
The temperature is still very high today. I looked at the thermometer just now and it was 37 degrees Celsius. With such a high temperature, one could get a heatstroke accidentally.
There were workers suffering from heat stroke a few days ago, but they were not serious.
Originally, such a high temperature was not suitable for manual labor.
but……
There is no way.
When the watermelon is ripe, pick it as soon as possible and don't leave it on the vine for too long.
"elder brother."
"Brother..." Chen Chen, Ye Zhi and the others came over.
"Picking watermelons, why don't you shout? You're afraid a few of us will come over and eat your watermelons." Tang Xun said with a smile.
"You have such a good appetite, I'm just afraid that you will come over and finish my watermelon." Ye Mo smiled, gave them Huoxiang Zhengqi water, and said, "Drink one to avoid heatstroke."
"This thing of yours tastes too bad." Tang Xun looked disgusted.
"Whether you like to drink or not, if you get a heatstroke, you're in trouble."
"Drink, drink, drink."
Ye Mo asked them to help plant the watermelon in the pergola. They could blow on the electric fan so it wouldn't be so hot.
"Ranran, your skin has become fairer." Lin Xiaomian looked at Ye Ran, whom she hadn't seen for a few days. Ye Ran's face was much fairer.
"I used a whitening mask. Did it really make me whiter?"
"Yeah, it's a bit whiter." Lin Xiaomian nodded and said, "Push the link to me later."
"good."
"What kind of facial mask?" Wang Yue also felt that Ye Ran was whiter and asked.
"When I finish the work later, I will push the connection to you and you can check it out for yourself." Ye Ran said: "I have been using it for more than ten days and I don't feel anything at all."
Sweat~!
Beads of sweat as big as beans slid down Ye Mo's cheeks.
Listening to several women talking about beauty and whitening, I was speechless.
"Have you delivered the frame of your greenhouse?" Ye Mo looked at Chen Chen and asked.
"The goods should arrive tomorrow." Chen Chen said: "I have seen the actual photos sent by the merchant, and I think they are okay."
"We'll wait until the goods arrive to see if it's okay."
While we were chatting, a small truck came over with a conveyor loaded on it.
Two people in the truck.
Li Xuebin is behind, and there are two others.
"Mr. Xiaoye." Li Xuebin walked over with a smile.
"Boss Li, come and eat watermelon." Ye Mo responded with a smile.
Li Xuebin pulled the collar of his clothes and fanned the wind: "This damn weather is really too hot." Li Xuebin came over and picked up a watermelon, flicked it with his fingers, and heard the sound, it was quite ripe. I guess it was eight ripe. Try harder.
Some, watermelons were bombed...
"This... is annoying." Li Xuebin looked at the cracked watermelon and said.
"The temperature is too high, there's nothing we can do about it," Ye Mo said.
Li Xuebin nodded, broke off a small piece, handed the remaining watermelon to the worker behind him, and tasted it.
This watermelon is not particularly sweet. It is described as moderately sweet, just right. The taste and other aspects are good... and the watermelon seeds are black seeds, which is good.
Li Xuebin brought a stool over, sat down to enjoy the breeze, and said, "These watermelons will be loaded into the truck later."
"Okay." Ye Mo nodded.
Carloads of watermelons were delivered, placed in the awning, sprinkled with water, and blown with electric fans...
"Pack some tonight." Li Xuebin said: "As much as you can pick at night. Load a cart and leave tonight, and the rest will be loaded into the cart tomorrow morning."
For watermelons that need to be transported over long distances, it is best to store them overnight before transporting them.
Watermelons picked in the afternoon are sweeter. However, watermelons picked in the sun have been exposed to the sun for a day, and there is pressure inside the watermelons... The best way is to transport them overnight.
Otherwise, there is pressure inside the watermelon. If it is transported directly, it will explode for you if it is not good.
After all, this is a transportation of about 1,700 kilometers, which is no joke...
Li Xuebin sat and smoked a cigarette, then went over to help unload the conveyor.
There are more than 40 acres of watermelons to be picked today, and there are thirty or forty people working there.
Ye Mo and the others came out after half past four.
The earliest watermelons picked were sprinkled with water several times and kept cooling down...it was not until after seven o'clock, and after Li Xuebin confirmed it, that they began to be loaded into the truck.
Ye Mo's mother, Xiao Mian's mother, several aunts, Lin Xiaomian and the other girls went back to prepare dinner.
Xiao Mian's mother and Xiao Mian wanted to feed crayfish, so they stopped by and got down in the ground cage to catch some crayfish and take them back to eat.
"Mr. Li, let's eat here later," Ye Mo said.
"Are there any crayfish?" Li Xuebin said with a smile.
