Alpine Orchard

Chapter 103 Little Shrike

Boss Gao looked at the big watermelon in the video and was a little shocked.

Watermelons are big, and more importantly, they look good.

Looking at that watermelon, it is estimated that it weighs more than a hundred catties.Big watermelon, just look at the size, it is actually difficult to estimate the weight.

The watermelon in front of Ye Mo weighed at least two hundred catties and was the largest watermelon in the field.

It's not that Gao Yuan has never seen particularly large watermelons, such as Ningxia watermelons, which are tens of catties or hundreds of catties in size, which is not uncommon.There are also super-large watermelons specially bred...

But the shapes of those watermelons are closer to winter melons.And the peel is also white.

And Ye Mo's watermelon has a good shape... It's blue and black, like the Guanlong variety of Honeyguanlong, with beautiful lines.

Full-bodied, glossy and nearly perfect in shape.

A perfectly shaped watermelon, usually not particularly huge.

The oversized watermelon next to Ye Mo is mainly because it is too round and the shape is perfect, it looks like a model.

"Of course it's a real watermelon, it's still very sweet." Ye Mo said.

"How many watermelons are this big?" Gao Yuan asked.

"30. The weight is more than 150 catties, and the largest can weigh [-] catties." Ye Mo said.

"The quantity is a bit small."

"Big watermelons are troublesome to grow. I'm worried about the market, so I don't dare to grow too many... If there is a market, I can plant a large amount next year." Ye Mo said.

"Where is your location, I will go and have a look tomorrow."

"I'll send you a location later."

"Okay. This kind of particularly large watermelon usually has a price of one melon. For the more common ones, you can set a suitable price. I will have to see the specific price before giving a quotation. By the way, are these watermelons ripe? "

"Some are already ripe. However, I picked the ripe watermelons. The taste of these watermelons is very good, no worse than ordinary black-striped watermelons." Ye Mo said.

"Then... you take a few photos for me. It's best to have a reference. I'll see if I can find a big customer first." Gao Yuan said: "When the watermelon is ripe, I will take the customer there."

"Okay." Ye Mo hung up the phone, looked at Lin Xiaomian, and shouted, "Xiaomian."

"What?"

"come here."

Lin Xiaomian came over, holding a bird in his hand: "What are you doing?"

"What are you holding?"

"A bird was injured." Lin Xiaomian said, "It ran to me by itself."

Ye Mo looked at the bird, it seemed to be a shrike: "Hurry up and let it go."

"Its foot was entangled in the fishing line, and it was injured. I took it back to raise it." Lin Xiaomian stroked the little bird's head, and the little thing was in Lin Xiaomian's hand without struggling.

"Take some photos for me." Ye Mo said.

"What photo are you taking?"

"Watermelon, I'm standing next to the watermelon, take some pictures for me and send them to the client." Ye Mo said.

"Oh." Lin Xiaomian took a few photos of Ye Mo with her mobile phone.

Ye Mo then sent the photo to Gao Yuan, and when he returned to the car, Lin Xiaomian was still holding onto the shrike: "The shrike in your hand is as big as a sparrow, and it's very fierce."

"It's very obedient." Lin Xiaomian said, "Shrike? Is it a bird that hangs its prey on trees?"

"probably."

The shrike in Lin Xiaomian's hands should be a fledgling that just learned to fly. It's fluffy and looks...very cute.

Back home, Lin Xiaomian took Shrike out to catch bugs.This little bird seemed to be very hungry, and even ate the worms in Lin Xiaomian's hand.

"How to raise this bird?" Lin Xiaomian asked.

"I don't know, I haven't raised birds before."

There are no cages at home...

Lin Xiaomian shut Xiao Shrike in the bedroom on the first floor.

Ye Mo was also speechless.

Wild birds, especially those that can fly, are very difficult to tame...

Ye Mo went to kill the chicken.

Lin Xiaomian boiled water...

In the evening, eat roasted chicken with taro, and stir-fry a chicken offal.

"Mom, come over for dinner, Ye Mo bought a local chicken." The meal was about to be ready, Ye Mo asked Lin Xiaomian to call her mother, calling them to come over for dinner.

"No, I'm too lazy to run. Your lady has already prepared dinner."

"Oh, okay. I won't go back at night, I'll sleep here."

"Ah."

Seeing Lin Xiaomian hung up the phone, Ye Mo asked, "Uncle and aunt won't come?"

"Ma'am, the meal is ready."

Just as they were talking, Ye Mo's parents came back.

Ye Mo put the food on the table, took out the beer, and poured it.

After everyone washed their hands and came to sit down, Ye Mo picked up a chicken leg for Lin Xiaomian and Ye Ran.

"Xiao Mian, are you going to drive the excavator tomorrow?" Papa Ye asked.

Lin Xiaomian nodded: "Open."

Papa Ye smiled and said, "The foundation work of the house will be ready in three or four days. After that, we will dig trenches and bury water pipes, and the wages will be 800 yuan a day."

"Yeah." Lin Xiaomian pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

"Brother, are you busy tomorrow?" Ye Ran asked.

"No."

"Send over my micro-digger, you can go over there and take a look at it for me tomorrow morning. If there is no problem, send it over for me... I want to finish the work at hand quickly so that I can rest for a while." Lin Xiaomian said.

"Row."

"After the work in hand is finished, you will be busy with house decoration again." Papa Ye said, "There are so many things to do this year, it is estimated that you will not be able to rest until November."

"It's a good thing to be busy, and you can earn more money." Mother Ye said: "When the busyness is over, then take a good rest."

"After we finish our work, let's go to Beihai to play." Ye Ran looked at Lin Xiaomian and said.

"Okay." Lin Xiaomian replied.

"You just like making light bulbs, don't you?" Ye Mo looked at Ye Ran: "If you want to go out to play, it's me and your sister-in-law who go out without you."

Ye Ran made a grimace: "I'm going."

The Shrike called from the room.

Ye Ran turned around and looked over: "What's in your room?"

"A bird that Xiao Mian picked up was injured, and she wants to keep it at home," Ye Mo said.

"Wild birds are not easy to raise. If you keep them at home, they will die easily," Ye Ran said.She has picked up little birds more than once, brought them home, and they died within a few days of raising them.

"Then I'll let it go later." Lin Xiaomian said.

After dinner, it was dark.

There were crickets and weavers calling outside.

When Lin Xiaomian entered the room, the shrike was a little scared and avoided him.

However, Lin Xiaomian easily caught it and took it outside. With a flashlight, Lin Xiaomian followed the sound and caught a weaver girl. After feeding it to the little shrike, she put it on the branch of the rhododendron.The little guy flopped, jumped down, and fled into the orchard and disappeared.

"I went out to water the water-soluble fertilizer." Ye Mo drove the car and looked at Lin Xiaomian who came in: "Let's go together."

"No, go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow..." Lin Xiaomian shook her head vigorously, and went upstairs as if fleeing.Thinking of being in the living room this afternoon, Lin Xiaomian panicked with embarrassment.

Kiss, just kiss, he even touches his chest...

At night, if you go out to release water with him, you will not be eaten.
