Madam Xiaomian and the four of them went to Gaoshanping to help with the work for two months.
After the work at Gaoshanping is finished, we can come over and help build the greenhouse.
There are 28 acres of greenhouses for Madam Xiao Mian. If they did it themselves, it would probably take them twenty days a month to finish it all.
The greenhouse not only builds the skeleton, but also the membrane of the greenhouse and the ditches around the greenhouse. At the same time, they also need to build a warehouse here.
Building a greenhouse is not only for stacking items, but also for keeping people there to watch the melons when they mature.
I have never heard of people stealing melons and fruits here, but they are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. And they have to be careful of naughty children... After all, they have invested so much money.
The most popular thing is the melon seedlings they need here.
The eldest lady and the others came to help me for two months. In the end, I actually made a profit at no loss.
For a 28-acre greenhouse, there are 1,600 melon seedlings per acre. Then 44,800 melon seedlings are needed.
Greenhouses have been set up, and melon trellises are used for planting. The planting density must be relatively high.
44,800 melon seedlings cost a lot of money.
After settling the matter with the eldest lady, Ye Mo drove along the hillside and came to Chen Chen's side.
Chen Chen and his family's greenhouse is almost ready, that is, the skeleton is almost ready.
Chen Chen acquired 29 acres of land and built 26 acres of greenhouses. The remaining land must be left open...
Sister Xiaomian and the others only contracted 20 acres of land, but reclaimed 30 acres. 10 acres of which belonged to their production team. Sister Xiaomian and the others exchanged that piece of land, and finally collected 30 acres.
Ye Mo didn't just open up 10 more acres casually as he thought.
"Third uncle, third aunt." Ye Mo shouted.
"Hey." Chen Chen's parents responded.
"elder brother."
"Brother..." Chen Chen and Ye Ran shouted.
Ye Mo nodded and said: "Come here and ask you whether you will raise the watermelon seedlings yourself, or whether I will help you raise the seedlings. What is the planting density for you guys?"
"What's the planting density over there?" Ye Ran said.
"Watermelon?" Ye Mo asked.
"Yeah." Ye Ran nodded.
"Small watermelon, 2,000 plants per acre. Kirin, Jinmeiren... 1,600 plants per acre." Ye Mo said, "The only extra seeds I have are Kirin and Jinmeiren."
"Both Qilin and Jinmeiren can produce second and third crops?" Ye Ran said.
"I'm not sure. It mainly depends on management..." Ye Mo said, "I don't dare to vouch for these things."
"Do you have any extra cantaloupe seeds?" Chen Chen asked, "I want to plant some cantaloupe."
"I don't know if there are too many cantaloupe seeds. But there are extra reticulated melon seeds... why don't you plant some reticulated melons."
"Didn't you say that it is difficult for the reticulate melon to produce a second crop?" Ye Ran said.
"It's not easy to produce two cantaloupe crops." Ye Mo said, "It's slightly easier to produce two or three crops of watermelon. But if you don't manage it well, you can still only produce one crop. Don't think about the problem of two or three crops.
If you manage the crop well, it will be good."
"Then... plant 10 acres of reticulated melons?" Ye Ran looked at Chen Chen.
Chen Chen nodded: "Okay."
"10 acres of reticulated melons and 16 acres of watermelons?" Ye Mo said.
"Um."
"I'm going to buy a seedling tray here. Let's count the melon seedlings you need first... In addition, a seedling costs 5 cents, together with fertilizer, and we will settle the account after the melons are sold." Ye Mo said.
"Okay." Chen Chen smiled and nodded.
"I'll start raising seedlings from now on, you have to go over and help." Ye Mo said.
If you go out to buy watermelon seedlings, if you sell them in small quantities, they cost two or three yuan a plant. If you buy them in large quantities, the cheapest price is 1.3 yuan...
5 cents per plant, here in Gaoshanping, the labor cost is probably not enough.
Chen Chen and the others are also seedling farmers and know how to calculate costs.
Ye Mo went over to find Ye Zhi and Tang Xun, counted the melon seedlings they needed, and told them that the seedlings cost 50 cents each. They had to go and help when the seedlings were raised.
Ye Mo needs to use Lingquan to raise seedlings, and the melon seedlings he cultivates will definitely be better.
In the seedling breeding process, the most troublesome thing is actually grafting. It requires a lot of manpower...
…
Auntie Xiaomian and the others went over to help build the steel frame, and the construction progress of the greenhouse was accelerated.
In one day, the skeleton of two greenhouses was almost built, which is 6 acres.
The greenhouse area in Gaoshanping changes every day.
Learning to weld is actually quite simple.
The steel frames of greenhouses and warehouses are not all welded, but also fixed with screws, etc.
A week later, the framework of the greenhouse had been completed.
Most of the roads and drainage channels in the two hundred acres of greenhouse area have been completed.
It's mid to late July.
Ye Mo's villa has been topped out and is being renovated externally.
The watermelons at Mistress Xiaomian’s house are finally ripe.
In order to keep an eye on those watermelons, Uncle Xiaomian built a shed next to the melon shed and lived there at night.
Li Xuebin came here twice during this period.
Mainly to harvest mangoes, and by the way, I looked at the watermelons here.
"Hey, Ye Mo..." In the evening, Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian were feeding crayfish when Li Xuebin called.
"Ah?" Ye Mo picked up the phone.
"Master Niu's watermelons are a bit too much. The boss who ordered watermelons from you before was willing to take a large amount, but the price was lowered."
"Huh?" Ye Mo was speechless: "How much does it cost per catty?"
"I can only give you 2 yuan for the watermelons from Master Niu's house." Li Xuebin said: "They are mainly sold to Guangdong. Do you have any channels there?"
"Boss Gao wants 100. Boss Zhang wants 50... They all want the biggest ones," Ye Mo said.
"Let them choose first. After choosing, I will come over and install it," Li Xuebin said.
"Okay. Thank you very much."
"Thank you." Li Xuebin smiled and said, "You still have an order for 500 large watermelons over there. But when Master Niu's watermelons come out, it will have some impact on your order..."
"Yeah. No big deal, all the watermelons I have here will be planted..."
"Hahaha, that puts me at ease. I'll come over tomorrow morning to pack the watermelons."
"good."
No matter what.
As long as the quantity is large, the price will be cheaper.
The watermelons that Sister Xiaomian has over there weigh about a hundred pounds each. They are very big. For ordinary people, such large watermelons are still very rare.
However, in many fruit markets, you can still buy a watermelon weighing about a hundred pounds.
There are many videos on the Internet of opening hundred-jin watermelons. These watermelons can be bought if you have money... One is about one hundred pounds, and they are cheap, four to five hundred yuan each. There are even cheaper ones.
Li Xuebin charges 2 yuan per catty here, which is normal.
The prices quoted by Boss Gao and Boss Zhang are not high either, at 3 yuan per catty.
As soon as I hung up the phone, Boss Gao called: "Hello, Mr. Gao."
"I'm going to Hongshan Town soon." Boss Gao said.
"Okay... right away."
Ye Mo hung up the phone and said to Lin Xiaomian: "In the end, you can feed yourself. I will take someone to help the eldest lady."
"Yeah." Lin Xiaomian nodded: "The watermelon over there really can't be sold at a high price?"
Ye Mo shook his head: "The amount is too much. There are more than a thousand large watermelons, but if you count the weight, it's quite a lot."
Lin Xiaomian nodded and said, "Go quickly."
Ye Mo trotted over: "Dad." Lin Shan happened to be riding over.
"Hey." Lin Shan said, "What are you doing? Running so fast."
"Boss Gao, come here." Ye Mo said and got into Lin Shan's car and came to the place where he was working: "Uncle, please stop what you are doing. Boss Gao, come here and load the watermelons."
"Master Liu, Master Li... everyone should stop what they are doing..."
