Chapter 48 Ripening Watermelon
After Chen Yi thanked him, he rode a tricycle to the field, and rode a tricycle to the field to pick melons.

He parked the car in the field, and then looked at the melons, all of them were big and strong. He bent over and put the ripe watermelons on the side, holding the baskets, and loaded them one by one for easy transportation.

Ren Yan, a villager in the field next door, saw him picking watermelons a few days ago, and was surprised to see him picking watermelons again a few days later.

"I said, didn't you just sell your watermelons a while ago? Why are there so many ripe ones? Could it be some kind of medicine?"

Chen Yi bent over to carry the watermelon, and was so busy that he was dizzy. Hearing the inquiry from the old man in the field next to him, he stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Why do you use medicine? It may be that the fertilizer used this year is good, so it grows fast." Chen Yi immediately denied it.

Ren Yan leaned forward, took a few steps forward, and looked at the big watermelon in his arms, frowning.

He also purposely knelt down to touch a ripe watermelon, and tapped it: "This is indeed growing too fast. What kind of fertilizer did you use before? Give me a recommendation."

"I don't remember this either. If I have time later, I will look through the fertilizer bag and recommend it to you." Chen Yi looked at the uncle at the side and had no choice but to ask the reason, feeling very helpless in his heart.

Ren Yan glanced at the watermelon in his hand casually, and sneered at it.

He didn't believe that there was no ripening agent.

He has been planting the land for more than ten years, but he has never seen such a big and juicy watermelon, except for those in the greenhouse who are covered with medicine jars all day long and are given ripening agents, so they are so juicy.

"Uncle Ren, we are all in small businesses. It is impossible for us to make money from such a small piece of land. It is not worthwhile to spend any money and ripening agent."

Chen Yi said something lightly, and started to work again.

There are quite a lot of melons grown in this one-third of an acre of land. A tricycle is fully loaded with boards on it, and a few baskets are set up to barely pack the watermelons in a piece of land.

Ren Yan looked enviously at the young man busy loading a whole truckload of watermelons.

After all, the situation this year is not good, and the weather is dry, which makes the melons in the melon fields look bad.

Some crooked melons are generally sold at a low price, but his whole truckload of watermelons is big and round, and the price will definitely double.

"If you have any good things, you just hide them secretly and don't tell your uncle." Ren Yan glanced enviously, and said sourly.

Chen Yi said to him politely: "Okay, if I come across any good fertilizer seeds in the future, I will recommend them to you."

Chen Yi and Uncle Ren greeted each other a few words, then rode a tricycle to the town to sell watermelons.

However, Ren Yan was not idle and returned home after finishing his farm work. Looking at his wife cutting watermelon, he remembered the strange things that happened today.

"Is this grown in our own land?"

The wife looked at the watermelon in the field that her husband cared about today: "Yes, we planted it in the field. The field is a bit dry today. Even after watering, the watermelon didn't grow very big."

"That's right, the biggest watermelon is only this big, but you don't know that boy surnamed Chen, the watermelons in his place grow big and round, like a washbasin, do you think it's strange?" Ren Yan An exaggerated description.

My wife showed a surprised expression when he heard it: "What you said is true. Such a big watermelon is rare. We are next to his land. It is reasonable to say that it grows such a big watermelon. It's not bad, maybe just a few seedlings that are just too bad."

"Let me just say it's strange. He said his chemical fertilizer was good, but I didn't see the advantage. I thought it must be for black-hearted money. A ripening agent was added to it, which made the watermelon grow big and round."

As soon as Ren Yan mentioned this, he confirmed the thoughts in his heart.

Although all of this was his suspicion, he and his wife were taken aback when they heard it: "I just can't think that this kid is still a college graduate, and he does such wicked things. After studying for so many years in vain, he is not as good as us peasants." Woolen cloth!"

"Okay, don't say these things are useless, is the meal ready? I'm almost starving to death." After complaining like his wife, Ren Yan felt relieved.

The wife filled a bowl of rice and handed it to Ren Yan, and went out with the bowl to chat with others.

When gossiping with others, I casually mentioned the strange things my wife said.

Everyone began to discuss.

After all, Chen Yi was one of the few people in the village who graduated from college. They knew that he used ripening agents to ripen watermelons in order to make money, and they all said that he had no conscience in doing such a thing.

For a while, these rumors spread, and the more they spread, the more true they became.

Chen Yi didn't know anything about all this, and happily went to sell a box of watermelons on his back.

This time, I had the experience of selling melons last time. I took a knife and cut open the watermelon. I cut the watermelon in half and put it on the board, and came to the vendor.

"How do you collect this watermelon? How much is it per catty?" Chen Yi rode a tricycle to the side of the cart and asked the vendor.

The vendor saw that the person in front of him was a little familiar. It seemed that he had come to buy melons a few days ago and made a lot of noise. He was looking at his watermelon, smelled the sweet smell, and directly squeezed half of it and tasted it.

"My mother, why is your watermelon so sweet? And it's big and round, there is no ripening agent!" After the vendor tasted the watermelon, his mouth was crisp and refreshing,
In this hot day, even if there is no ice, it not only quenches the thirst but also relieves the heat. We settle one piece in threes and twos, and take the second piece conveniently.

Chen Yi didn't stop him. After all, this vendor specializes in selling watermelons, so he naturally knows the advantages of his watermelons.

"How can my watermelon use a ripening agent? Can a watermelon that uses a ripening agent be so sweet?"

The vendor ate three petals, and he was a little embarrassed, and wiped his mouth: "Your watermelon is not bad, it is delicious. I charge one yuan per catty for watermelon, what do you think? I lose you one yuan and five , I want all of this car!"

"Young man, I charge two yuan for this car. Your watermelon is not at the same level as what they sell. This 1 yuan is too cheap!" The surrounding watermelon vendors gathered around and took a tut That.

The last few stalls that specialize in watermelons all leaned over when they saw it.

Chen Yifei didn't expect his watermelon to become a hot commodity. After some discussion, they chose the highest price and sold it.

In the end, the truckload of watermelons was weighed and sold for hundreds of dollars for more than 100 catties.

There is no way, two or three yuan per catty is already the highest price for melons grown through hard work.

After all, there are layers of transportation exploitation above, and when it appears in the eyes of the public, in supermarkets and high-end shopping malls, the price has doubled countless times.

Chen Yi looked at the red banknotes in his hand, put them in his pocket casually, cleaned up the tricycle, and prepared to go home.
