There are six conveyors, and two cars are loaded at the same time.
Ye Mo arranged for male workers to help load the truck, while the female workers went into the greenhouse to continue picking watermelons.
It takes about two hours to load a car.
The watermelons picked last night were loaded into the car at noon.
The number of watermelons pollinated in the second batch was not large, accounting for 78%.
In the afternoon, I bundled protective covers on the watermelons and loaded them into the car...it wasn't until dark that I finished loading them.
Picking watermelons was much harder than usual work, and everyone was exhausted after the work.
After the watermelons loaded onto the truck left, Ye Mo led people to clean up the site before calling it a day.
When I came to my father-in-law's place, the meal was already cooked.
In the evening, we had braised beef with potatoes, delicious...
"How many watermelons were sold today?" Ye Mo's mother asked.
"The weight hasn't been sent yet." Ye Mo said.
Ye Mo still knew the approximate weight.
"After dinner, invite the workers over to take a sauna and relax." Ye Mo's father said, "I haven't done heavy work for a while. This sudden day has made my muscles sore all over."
Ye Mo nodded.
The roasted beef with potatoes in the evening was delicious. Ye Mo ate three bowls of rice in a row and rode his bike to the staff dormitory.
The workers came back to ask for something to cook for themselves, and dinner was just ready at this time.
"Master Liu." Ye Mo shouted.
"Why."
"After dinner, why don't you go and take a sauna?" Ye Mo said.
"Go ahead." Master Liu said with a smile.
"Where are we?" Master Li upstairs heard this and asked with a smile.
"Let's all work together." Ye Mo said with a smile: "By the way, during the watermelon picking period, I will give you double the working days. Please persevere during this period, and you will be able to relax after picking the watermelons."
"Boss Ye is awesome." Mr. Wang ran out and said loudly.
"Double working days, 520 yuan a day?" Zhou Yue came out with bowls and chopsticks and said.
Ye Mo nodded.
“The boss is awesome.”
Ye Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "After dinner, go to the sauna. I'll go back and turn on the stove first."
"Boss, go slow." Master Li said with a smile.
"Boss Jixiang..." Zhou Yue roared.
Ye Mo returned to the car with a smile.
A text message came on the phone, saying that all the watermelons had passed the weighbridge at Li Xuebin's company.
The weight of watermelon is 96.348 tons.
That is more than 190,000 kilograms, 12 yuan per kilogram... 2.31 million yuan.
The first batch of watermelons pollinated is the most, and the watermelons pollinated later are less.
96 tons of watermelons, nearly 70,000 pieces.
After loading them in one day, they have to be sent to the conveyor one by one... The work of loading the trucks is very tiring.
Ye Mo also helped load the car for more than an hour. His arms were sore and he couldn't bear it.
When I got home, I turned on the sauna to preheat and waited for the workers to come over. Ye Mo also went into the sauna to steam together.
After a hard day, I felt very comfortable after taking a shower and spending some time in the sauna.
The next day, Ye Mo was in high spirits, but still had some back pain.
Since hiring workers, Ye Mo rarely works anymore. He suddenly does a tiring job all day long, and all the muscles in his body are protesting.
Little Golden Phoenix watermelon is also ready to be picked.
The watermelon has a flower skin and yellow flesh. The sweetness in the center of the melon is a little lower than that of Little Bee, reaching 11.2... The edge of the watermelon has a sweetness level of 9.
Xiaojinfeng watermelon has a crisper texture and an average sweetness of 10, which is already very high.
The price per catty was still 12 yuan, and more than 70 tons were picked that day. There were also more than ten tons of Little Bee watermelon, which brought in more than 2 million yuan...
…
The picked watermelons are sent to Li Xuebin's company's factory for sorting, packing, and shipping...
The batches shipped should be as consistent in size as possible.
The first batch of goods was sent to Zhujiang, and Wei Jianming wanted it.
100 tons of little bees, 50 tons of little golden phoenixes...
When this batch of goods arrived, Wei Jianming invited his customers over early.
When the big truck came into the warehouse, Li Xuebin couldn't wait to unpack and inspect the goods.
When the box was opened, Zhu Sihai couldn't wait to move forward: "So small?"
The first box is Little Golden Phoenix.
The melons are round in shape, with flowery skin, and small in size... The 50 tons distributed to Li Xuebin are small melons, with an average weight of 2.64 kilograms.
A 2.64-pound watermelon is really not big.
"This is a small melon, and the variety is called Xiaojinfeng with a crisp mouth." Wei Jian understood Zhu Sihai and said, "It's terrible to be uneducated. I'm ashamed to be with you..."
Wei Jianming's customers laughed, but there was no malice.
Boss Kuang twisted one up and looked at the melon vine: "You just picked it?"
"High-quality goods picked freshly." Wei Jianming said: "Look at this appearance."
Wei Jianming opened more than a dozen boxes in a row.
All watermelons seem to be carved out of the same mold.
Guo Liying came over with a watermelon knife and gave Wei Jianming a hard look. The purchase price of this batch of watermelons was 16 yuan...
When Wei Jianming came back, he was scolded by Guo Liying.
The price is too high, and when they come to sell it, there is a lot of pressure.
But when I saw the watermelon displayed by Wei Jianming out of the box, I was stunned for a moment: "What a beautiful watermelon."
"No, you get what you pay for. These are watermelons exported to Dubai's masters..." Wei Jianming said.
"Did it really come out?"
"It's already being shipped. We signed a contract for 300 tons of this little golden phoenix watermelon at one time," Wei Jianming said.
"There are not many watermelons that can be exported from China," said Boss Kuang.
Not too much.
But there are not many high-end watermelons exported.
Most of the watermelons exported from China are affordable products...
"Let's cut it open and have a look. If it's not good, I don't want it," Zhu Sihai said.
The shape of these watermelons is indeed good, the color is darker, and the patterns are beautiful.
Wei Jianming picked up the knife and said: "Fourth, let's make a bet. If the watermelon I sell doesn't have white seeds, you can purchase 15 tons at a time. If there are white seeds, how about 20 yuan per catty..."
Xiao Jinfeng, Wei Jianming’s wholesale price here is 21 yuan. The people who came this time were mainly high-end fruit shop owners, as well as a few chain restaurant owners.
Little Golden Phoenix, 21 yuan per catty.
Little bees, 20 yuan per catty.
Zhu Sihai thought for a while and said: "Okay, let's gamble."
Not to mention the watermelons produced in greenhouses in winter, even if it is watermelons in summer... it is not easy to have all black seeds.
Wei Jianming smiled and cut the watermelon open.
The golden melon pulp has some neatly arranged black melon seeds. The melon seeds are still very full...
Zhu Sihai's eyes widened and he looked carefully. There were indeed no white seeds, not even a single white seed.
The flesh of the melon is very delicate. When you cut the watermelon, the watermelon juice will flow out. The skin of the watermelon is very thin...
The color of the melon flesh is also very beautiful, bright yellow, and seems to be a bit dazzling in the sun.
"You lost." Wei Jianming laughed and cut the watermelon into small pieces.
Today, 16 customers came. Wei Jianming opened three watermelons in a row, and all of them had black seeds.
"Let's take a look at the melon flesh first, and then taste the taste." Wei Jianming said: "For 21 yuan per catty, I dare say it's well worth the money."
Zhu Sihai took a look at the watermelon and took a bite. It was crisp in the mouth, tender in texture and very sweet...
"Okay, I'll buy 20 tons of these little golden phoenixes." Zhu Sihai only took one bite and said with a smile: "No...30 tons."
"The first batch is only 50 tons, so you have to keep some for everyone. I have placed an additional order for this kind of watermelon, and there are still 100 tons left." Wei Jianming said with a smile.
Wei Jianming asked Li Xuebin to keep the 100 tons for him, and he would reply within five days... If you want it, you can ship it. If you don't, it's fine...
The quality of watermelons in Gaoshanping is really good. Wei Jianming went all the way to get enough orders.
Boss Kuang also tasted the watermelon and said: "Give me 5 tons first..."
"Are all watermelons of the same quality?" someone asked.
"There are a few watermelons with white seeds, but the number of white seeds is very small. They are all sold as fruits. There are white seeds in watermelons, which is a problem that is difficult to avoid...Other than that, everything is the same."
