Chapter 304: Many children, many blessings [Please subscribe, subscribe]
The plumbers began to work, measuring the length to determine how many cement electric piles were needed.
A 12-meter cement electric pile would cost hundreds of dollars apiece. Hongshan Town’s finances are not tight. For the main wire expenses, I don’t know whether the town government will pay for it or the independent power grid department. But no matter what, this matter can be solved as soon as possible.
It was definitely not an easy task to get it done, and Ye Mo was quite touched.
Mayor Zhao and the others walked around and looked around. When Ye Mo came over, Mayor Zhao asked, "Can we grow durians here?"
On the way here, Mayor Zhao and the others had already seen the durians in Gaoshanping.
"Of course." Ye Mo nodded.
"Didn't you say that...it's difficult to grow durian in Hainan?" Director Hong said.
"The durian trees at the intersection of Gaoshanpingshangshan have already borne fruit." Ye Mo thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because of the high temperature this year. I transplanted these durian trees from Dongmen Town more than ten years ago.
There are so many big trees. When I was in Dongmen Town, there were only a few big trees bearing fruit... Last year they bore some fruit, but this year they only bear a lot of fruit... I don't know if they will bear fruit next year."
"That's right." Mayor Zhao nodded and said, "The coconut trees here are starting to bear fruit. Is it difficult for us to grow coconuts here?"
"It's quite difficult." Ye Mo said: "The main reason is that the temperature at night in winter is too low. It is difficult to plant coconuts here, but it is not particularly difficult. There are coconut trees over there in the Beihai. The temperature in the North Sea in winter is different from ours.
It’s almost the same here. Although the temperature is a bit lower, growing coconuts is not a big problem.”
"Can this coconut cultivation be promoted?" Mayor Zhao said with a somewhat hopeful tone.
Planting coconuts requires not only climate, but also rainfall. Areas with annual rainfall of 1,300-2,300 mm, even distribution, and well-drained soil are most suitable for the growth and development of coconut planting.
In areas with annual rainfall of 600-800 mm and uneven rainfall, irrigation is required. If the rainfall is less than 50 mm for three consecutive months, the growth of coconut trees will be affected.
"Theoretically, it should be possible." Ye Mo said: "But there must be an irrigation system. In the winter here, sometimes it doesn't rain even once a month."
“It’s good if you can plant it.”
"Are you going to promote coconut tree planting?" Ye Mo said.
Mayor Zhao shook his head: "I just wanted to ask."
"Actually, there are better prospects for planting mangoes and pomegranates. This year's mangoes in Changzhu Village, some coconut-flavored mangoes, sold for 3.3 yuan per catty, and the highest yield was about 3,500 catties per mu. One mu of mangoes cost 12,000
Yuan... The Jinhuang mangoes being picked are the best, priced at 4.2 yuan per catty, and have a yield of about 3,000 catties." Ye Mo said: "These mangoes still have a lot of room for improvement."
"Well..." Mayor Zhao said: "I know what you said. Also, the most important thing is to manage the existing orchard well. It's getting late, and we have to go back."
Ye Mo gave Mayor Zhao a paragraph.
Just now, Mayor Zhao was obviously attracted to the coconut tree.
If Hongshan Town could plant coconuts on a large scale, then Hongshan Town... wouldn't be famous yet.
Ye Mo said that coconuts can be grown here, but it is not easy... Mayor Zhao finally gave up the idea of planting coconuts on a large scale in Hongshan Town.
See you later.
Ye Mo's Gaoshanping has just started.
After watching Mayor Zhao and the others leave, Ye Mo went to the melon field, took out his phone and called Li Xuebin: "Hello, Boss Li."
"Yes." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "I have already contacted the bosses for you. Come over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow and negotiate the price after inspecting the goods."
"This matter is really troublesome for you."
"What's the trouble? They are also my customers, and they are all big customers." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "I will call you after those bosses come over."
"need."
Previously, Li Xuebin purchased the watermelons from Sister Xiaomian for 2 yuan and sent them to Guangzhou for 4.5 yuan per catty. There were also a few melons with particularly beautiful shapes that sold for 8 yuan per catty.
There are more than a thousand watermelons, and they are very large watermelons, which is not a small number.
But when it was put on the market, it was all divided within two days. There were more than one or two hundred in big cities, and there were dozens or hundreds in some economically developed middle and upper-level cities...
More than a thousand extra-large watermelons, no matter how many or too little, were sold out in just a few seconds.
Many people bought the watermelon, which weighed about a hundred kilograms, as a curiosity. There were also many factory owners who bought it back. Such a big watermelon was so fun that they cut it open and gave it to the employees during group dinners, then finished it.
Those watermelons with particularly beautiful shapes were sold to hotels.
Ye Mo doesn't know exactly where the market for super-large watermelons is.
In Ye Mo's opinion, those who buy these super large watermelons are mostly out of curiosity. Ye Mo is still a little worried about the price of these super large watermelons...
"What's the price?" Ye Mo said.
"400 watermelons, according to the price mentioned before, is it okay?" Li Xuebin said.
"no problem."
"Well..." Li Xuebin was silent for a moment and said: "These are the negotiated prices and cannot be changed. The market for super large watermelons has now been opened. When the bosses come to look at the melons, just follow them
He said that these watermelons must be planted, and he is only willing to sell the smallest watermelons, and only 400 of them."
"Is the super big watermelon easy to sell?" Ye Mo's eyes lit up.
"It's not that it's easy to sell... there's demand in the market." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "How many of these large watermelons are you going to keep for sowing?"
"Two hundred."
"So many. Then only 700?"
"There are 829 watermelons in this batch." Ye Mo said, "You can leave 129."
"Hahaha...this batch of watermelons can be sold at a high price." Li Xuebin said.
"The watermelons I have here are basically over two hundred kilograms." Ye Mo said: "What are you going to do with such a big watermelon?"
Li Xuebin chuckled and said, "Do you still remember why Zhang Yuanqiao bought these super big watermelons?"
"For banquets."
"What banquet?"
"Wedding..." Ye Mo heard what Zhang Yuanqiao said about the purpose of these watermelons, and said, "There is also full moon wine."
"That's right."
Almost everyone has eaten watermelon, but not everyone knows the meaning of watermelon.
Last year, boss Zhang Yuanqiao purchased super large watermelons from Ye Mo for weddings and full-moon wine banquets.
The meaning of watermelon is coolness, harvest, and fertility.
Placing a super big watermelon at the wedding will bring good fortune. Many children will bring good luck...
"The meaning of watermelon is to clean up, harvest, and have many children and good fortune." Li Xuebin laughed and said, "Master Niu's previous batch of watermelons has become a hot commodity due to the operation of dealers and hotels."
Ye Mo was stunned.
To be honest, Ye Mo really didn't know that watermelon had the meaning of "more children, more blessings".
Placing a super big watermelon at the wedding, with this meaning, seems... really good.
"The watermelons you brought are all over two hundred kilograms, right?"
"Even if it's not two hundred catties, it's close to two hundred catties." Ye Mo said.
"You are the only one with such a big watermelon nationwide." Li Xuebin said with a smile: "It was my fault before, because I didn't think about how to promote these super big watermelons. Now it's better, more children, more blessings... hahaha."
Thanks to brother Daofa Ziran for the reward, thank you...
