Ye Mo was about to go over and help feed the crayfish when Li Xuebin's car drove over.
"Mr. Li." Ye Mo shouted with a smile.
"Hahaha...Mr. Ye." Li Xuebin got off the car, looked at the workers who were still building the greenhouse, and said with a smile: "The progress is not slow."
"It's been three days, and the 3-acre greenhouse has not been completed yet."
"Let's go and take a look at the cantaloupe."
The two chatted and laughed as they headed to the melon field.
Speaking of the greenhouse, construction only started yesterday afternoon.
Moreover, they have to catch crayfish in the morning, so they have too little time to work in the greenhouse.
In the cantaloupe field, you can vaguely smell the sweetness of the cantaloupe.
Li Xuebin went in to find a ripe cantaloupe, took out toilet paper and wiped it, just taking a sip.
The emerald cantaloupe grown by Ye Mo has a very thin skin and is very crisp and tender. You can eat it with the skin...and it doesn't have any bitter taste.
The melon flesh under the skin is sweet and delicious.
Some of the meat inside begins to melt into sugar, and when you take one bite, your mouth will be filled with sweetness.
"This batch of cantaloupe is indeed sweeter than the first batch." Li Xuebin ate the cantaloupe, continued to look at the appearance of the cantaloupe, and picked a few more: "I will take these back to eat. My wife likes your cantaloupe very much.
, She has been asking for a long time when these cantaloupes will be ripe." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "The cantaloupes are good, their appearance is a little bit worse than the first crop, but it doesn't matter, it's 30 yuan per catty, okay."
"Really 30 yuan?"
"The businessman is true to his word. As I told you before, if the quality of this batch of melons is the same as the first batch of melons, I can give you 30 yuan per catty." Li Xuebin said with a helpless look.
"30 yuan per catty, how can you still make money?" Ye Mo was really shocked.
"In the market in Guangzhou, the wholesale price of muskmelons at 30 yuan is not much worse than these." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "I should be able to make money here, just not much."
"
“Boss Li is very generous.”
"It's so grand. Who asked me to brag about you before? I can't forget about the bragging." Li Xuebin said with a depressed expression: "This batch of cantaloupe is good, I won't make any money to help you sell it. Wait.
When the winter melons come out, you have to let me earn some."
"Okay, okay." Ye Mo said with a smile: "I want to build this greenhouse, but I'm short of money. I'm worried."
"This greenhouse needs to be carefully maintained. Watermelons, cantaloupes, and reticulated melons in winter are very expensive." Li Xuebin said with a smile.
What he values most is his relationship with Ye Mo and the output of these greenhouses.
Buying them back for 30 yuan per catty, no matter how good these melons are, they are still stressful for Li Xuebin.
From what he said, he was bragging before. He shouldn't lose money, but he won't make much money either.
"The heat required to mature the reticulated melons is too high, and the growth cycle is long. I only plan to plant reticulated melons in a greenhouse, about 3 acres." Ye Mo said: "I feel that the profit from growing watermelons and cantaloupes in winter is even greater.
Higher."
"I visited Hongxing Farm a few days ago. Watermelons are grown in greenhouses there. Their technicians said... one batch of winter watermelons can be produced in about a month, and four or five batches of watermelons can be produced," Li Xuebin said.
: "If you could do what they did, the profits from growing watermelons would be terrifying."
"Yeah." Ye Mo nodded and said, "I think so too. A batch of watermelons will be produced every month..."
"Make more melons." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "If we keep this variety and can supply it for a long time, I can still make a certain profit even if I only charge 30 yuan."
"I'll try my best." Ye Mo looked at the time and said, "You probably haven't eaten yet. Go to my house for dinner."
"You are not eating, and I am not hungry yet. When I talk about eating, I feel empty in my stomach. Hahaha..."
It's not too early either.
Ye Mo and Li Xuebin left the cantaloupe field and went to take a look at the reticulated melons.
Reticulated melons, when first harvested, are the best reticulated melons, with no special features.
Reticulated melons are sold all year round.
When it's cheap, it costs a few yuan per catty. In summer, if it costs more than 20 yuan per catty, it's considered top quality (gift grade).
The price on the market is more than 20 yuan or even more, and the purchaser... can only give you a dozen or 20 yuan at most.
Fruit sales are also risky.
The cantaloupe here can cost 30 yuan, because it is the only one here. There are also emerald cantaloupes in other places, but in terms of fragrance, taste, etc., they are not that different. This one has the pricing power.
Although the reticulated melons here are also very good, they are of gift grade. But gift grade reticulated melons can also be grown in other places.
"It's almost time, it's time to get off work." Ye Mo shouted when he came to the greenhouse.
"Let's work on it for a while," Master Li said.
Master Liu said: "The cement that has just been mixed, use up the cement before leaving get off work."
"Don't work too late, you have to get up early tomorrow." Ye Mo said with a smile.
"When you're done, let's call it a day."
After leaving the shed field, Li Xuebin said with a smile: "You workers are quite capable."
"They are all my father-in-law's buddies and friends." Ye Mo said, "They are my uncles and aunts. They must be tied up for me, a junior."
Li Xuebin smiled and nodded. All the workers in Ye Mo can do it.
Like when we picked watermelons before, the temperature was over 30 degrees Celsius, so we had to go very quickly. Several people even suffered from heatstroke.
Ye Mo does know that these workers have parents and children. They want to make more money, but they can also endure hardship.
how to say.
The salary given by Ye Mo is really acceptable for their place.
Return home.
Xiaomian's mother has just taken a bath and is preparing to make dinner.
The rice is already cooked, let’s start cooking.
"Mom, Boss Li is finishing his meal here." Ye Mo said, "Fry two more dishes."
"Okay." Xiaomian's mother said with a smile: "Fried two pieces of ham?"
"Yeah." Ye Mo went over and took two pieces of ham, each weighing just over a pound, and handed them to his mother-in-law.
"There are so many hams, we are stocking up." Li Xuebin came over to take a look and said.
"I went to Xuanwei and bought ham in Xuanwei." Ye Mo said and took out a few pieces of ham: "This is the bottom part of the three-year ham. It is used to fry and eat. It is super fragrant."
Li Xuebin took the ham: "It's so fat."
"It's the fat ham that tastes good. It's native pigs fed by farmers' cooked food, and it takes more than a year." Ye Mo took three more bags of money, and a whole crown...the crown part is what we often call the elbow.
.
"That's enough, that's enough..." Li Xuebin said.
"I bought more, so I'll take two more." Ye Mo picked out two more bags of money for Li Xuebin and said, "The money and fire claw parts are great for making soup. Our family made three bags today, which should be enough."
It’s about ten kilograms, and there’s not even any soup left.”
Li Xuebin smiled and said, "I'll take it back and try it. How do you make this soup?"
"Wash it clean, put it in the pot under cold water, and simmer it for more than an hour. The one we had for lunch was simmered for an hour and a half. The smell makes me drool just talking about it."
"Hahaha..." Li Xuebin thought about it and took the ham back to the car, and said: "I have always heard about Xuanwei's ham and cowhide before, but I have never eaten it. These hams seem to be quite expensive."
"One pound of ham costs several pounds of meat." Ye Mo said as his father-in-law drove back.
Lin Shan drove the car into the shed, got out, and shouted with a smile: "Boss Li is here."
"I'm so busy, I didn't come back until almost dark," Li Xuebin said.
"What are you busy with? I went fishing." Lin Shan said with a smile.
"Did you catch any fish?" Ye Mo said.
"We got a silver carp, weighing more than ten kilograms." Lin Shan went over to open the trunk, took the fish down, and said, "Let's get the cold pot fish."
