Chapter 293 Fruit farmers at the foot of the mountain
Ye Mo's cantaloupes were labeled with the place of origin: Gaoshanping, Hongshan Town, Yancheng County.
There is a place of production and a contact number. The contact number is not from Gaoshanping, but the customer service number of Li Xuebin and his company.
Half of the melon remains in their company.
The cantaloupe has been fumigated, disinfected and stored in a special fresh-keeping warehouse for a month without any problems.
The other half has already been sold out when sent to the Guangzhou market. The wholesale price is 35 yuan per catty.
The cantaloupe from Gaoshanping has been used up in the market. In the past two days, the number of orders has been overwhelming...
Another batch of cantaloupes from Gaoshanping arrived in Guangzhou by air. It can be said that they were sold out before they even entered the market. The price also increased from the original 35 yuan to 45 yuan.
Zhou Minghai controlled the shipment volume, so the price naturally went up.
Gaoshanping melons are distributed in the Guangzhou market, half of which stay in Guangdong, some enter the Hong Kong market, and some are sold to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as super cities such as BJ and Shanghai.
Especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, the volume of goods requested has increased sharply.
…
Gaoshanping.
There are still some tail melons left in the melon field.
That is to say, the melons in the seed-saving area can also be saved for the second crop of melons.
But I have saved enough seeds before. I will keep the remaining cantaloupe and reticulated melons for myself...if I can't finish them, I will save more seeds.
It is said that those who grow melons do not like to eat melons.
But Ye Mo eats one or two melons from Gaoshanping every day.
The crayfish in the reservoir have also been caught. There is no need to get up early now. Ye Mo slept until after eight o'clock and then woke up.
Lin Xiaomian read a novel again last night and was still sleeping deeply. Ye Mo poked her twice with his finger: "Get up and eat."
Lin Xiaomian was so sleepy that she finally opened her eyes: "What time is it?"
"eight thirty."
"If you don't want to eat it, go and eat it yourself."
"Lazy pig." Ye Mo said, turned over and got up.
Lin Xiaomian's face was puffy, she covered herself with a quilt and continued to sleep.
Wash your face, brush your teeth, go downstairs...
My father-in-law and mother-in-law are not at home.
Ye Mo went to the kitchen and took a look. There was cold Zhiergen in the kitchen, and the rice was still hot in the rice cooker.
Ye Mo ate some, took the car keys, and drove to town.
In the 30 days last month, no one asked for leave...
According to what Ye Mo said was 260 yuan per day, the actual salary should be 7,800 yuan.
It was very hard to pick watermelons last month, and the hot weather lasted for a long time... The workers suffered from heatstroke while working, and it was also very hard.
When working outside, any job that is more formal will have a high-temperature subsidy.
Last month, Ye Mo also made money.
This year I have earned 18 million yuan, and I have spent a lot of money. I still have 4.93 million yuan on hand... which is not enough.
If it wasn't enough, it was because Ye Mo built a big villa for his own enjoyment.
If we didn't build big villas, today's life would just take off, right?
I made a lot of money this year, but production expenses and workers' wages are relatively small expenses.
16 people, each person costs 9,500 yuan, which is only 152,000 yuan.
As soon as I drove down the mountain, I saw Xiao Mian's mother coming towards me.
Ye Mo stopped and said, "Mom."
The mother-in-law nodded: "Going to the bank?"
Ye Mo said 'hmm' and said, "What did you buy today?"
"Just the usual vegetables, drive slower on the road."
"good."
Ye Mo tapped the accelerator and the car started off.
A spacious two-lane asphalt road, along the foothills of the mountain... On both sides of the road, there are rural houses with ten rooms and five empty rooms.
In Changzhu Village, it is basically difficult to see young people. There are not many people in their forties. Most of them are old people and some people who are about to enter old age.
But now that the mangoes are ripe, there are more people in the village.
It can be seen from the houses that the area is not wealthy.
The roads here are very good, but there are not many houses... buildings.
At least 50% of the houses are red brick houses, and you can even see mud brick thatched houses.
Adobe houses are very rare, let alone adobe thatched houses.
There are adobe houses, but not many. Firebrick houses like Madam Xiaomian's house are more common in the area.
However, the environment in Changzhu Village is very good.
There are orchards on both sides of the road.
This year's mangoes...the mango trees look full of life. There are probably twice as many mangoes hanging on the trees as compared to last year.
The planting area of Kate mango at the foot of the mountain is estimated to be less than half. The rest is coconut mango, Jinhuang mango...
The temperature is high this year, and it is a continuous high temperature.
The coconut-flavored mangoes here are already being picked.
They are all small growers, and their orchards are widely scattered. Due to differences in management, the quality is also uneven.
Today is July 8th.
Here in Huacheng, the early-ripening coconut-flavored mangoes start to be picked in early June.
I asked Li Xuebin before about the price of mangoes this year. The most popular coconut-flavored mangoes were... 100-200 grams each, and the purchase price reached 8 yuan.
During this period, the purchase price of relatively good coconut-flavored mangoes was six to seven yuan per catty.
The quality of mangoes in Huacheng is good. The total planned mango export volume this year is 150,000 tons...
150,000 tons is a lot. The more we export, the less we sell domestically.
Mangoes from Huacheng are sold on JD.com, most of them cost more than ten yuan per catty.
As for buying it elsewhere, such as on Douyin, Pinxixi... you can buy it cheaply, but it may not be produced locally in Huacheng.
The ones sold outside are expensive, but the ones sold locally are very cheap. The most important thing is to look at the quality and the production area.
There are mostly high mountains around Huacheng, and transportation is inconvenient in many places. If transportation is inconvenient, big fruit merchants are too lazy to go there.
The quality of this year's mangoes has been greatly improved compared to last year's mangoes. Although they are not at the top level, they are still above average.
Lingquan has some credit, but more of it comes from management...
Last year, most orchards applied organic fertilizer. At the same time, their village also invited technicians to provide guidance.
Li Xuebin is basically harvesting mangoes in Changzhu Village now. The purchase price of coconut-flavored mangoes has reached three yuan per catty. This price is not low, after all, they are grown by small retail farmers.
The busy people in the orchard were sweating profusely, but all of them had happy smiles on their faces.
The overall price of mangoes this year is much higher than last year. In addition, large fruit dealers came to purchase the mangoes, and the quotations they gave were much higher than those of small fruit dealers.
This year's mango output is at least more than 1,000 jins per mu. Some well-managed orchards have an output of more than 2,000 jins per mu, and may even exceed 3,000 jins per mu.
For farmers, they are really not afraid of hard work. As long as they can make money...
Looking at these fruit farmers who are transporting mangoes, all of them have smiles on their faces, and Ye Mo is also very happy. This is a good start. If the mangoes make money, they will definitely pay more attention to the management of mango orchards in the future.
