Alpine Orchard

Chapter 186 Many Friends, Many Paths
It's time to call it a day.

Tang Xun, Chen Chen, and Ye Zhi were about to take a bath when they were stopped by Ye Mo and walked over.

"What else is there to do?" Tang Xun asked.

"Help me clean the melon vines." Ye Mo said with a smile.

"Take a break and do it tomorrow." Tang Xun said, "I'm exhausted."

"Tomorrow has something to do tomorrow." Ye Mo said with a smile: "By the way, let me tell you about the wages. You have been helping here for several months, and you must not do it for nothing. I also made a lot of money from this batch of watermelons. I also remember the number of working days here... Uncles and aunts and their wages are 400 yuan per day, and if they are less than one day, they will be counted as one day. You, we are brothers... I will count you as 300 yuan a day." When the watermelons are sold out, See how much money you earn, if you earn more, give me a big red envelope.

Chen Chen looked at the two of them.

This money, he is unwilling to take it, and he can't take it.Ye Mo is now his big uncle...

"I don't want mine." Chen Chen said, "My parents and theirs, you can count on it."

"One yard is worth one yard. Tang Xun and Ye Zhi each get three hundred a day, but yours is only two hundred a day." Ye Mo looked at Chen Chen and said.

Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo with a smile: "Okay, Boss Ye is big, I'm full of energy again."

When they picked watermelons before, they used scissors to cut the watermelons and the old vines.That is, the vine that bears watermelon...

Ye Mo wanted to raise two crops of melons, and he was supposed to start growing new vines ten days and a half months before the watermelons were harvested.

The old vines that have produced melons will never bear watermelons again.

The second crop of melons has to be grown on new vines.

No new vines were left, not because they were too busy, but because there were already a lot of watermelons left in each vine, and adding new vines would be too burdensome for the vines, so they didn't keep them.Besides, a vine with 5 melons, even if new vines are left, the growth of the new vines will not be good.

When picking watermelons, Ye Mo and the others cut off the old vines, leaving only the vines at the base of the watermelon plants without fruit.

These vines are still sprouting.

There is enough fertilizer in the melon field, and the plants are still very vigorous, and they can completely set fruit for the second time.

A few people started to work again, sorting out the old vines, old flower leaves, yellow leaves, etc., and took them out of the field, thus creating a suitable environment for the growth of the second crop of melons.

Uncle and the others caught crayfish and came over to help.

The planting density of watermelon is not high, but the melon vines are particularly lush.

Someone cleared the vines, someone dug the ditch.

Father Ye borrowed a small tractor from the production team. A plowshare was attached to the back of the tractor, and a deep ditch was made in the corridor between the melon fields.

Ditching is quick.

Clean up the vine leaves, and the deep ditch will be opened.

Generally speaking, the early watermelons in the greenhouse can grow two crops of melons.For watermelons in the field, it is not easy to grow better second-crop melons.

After finishing the work and going home, it was past eight o'clock in the evening, and everyone was waiting for them to have dinner.

"Can you really grow two crops of melons?" Second Aunt asked.

She doesn't know how to grow watermelons, but she has seen people plant them before, and it seems... watermelons can only be harvested once.

But Ye Mo wanted to raise two crops of melons.

"The vitality of the watermelon vines is still very good. Besides, it's only April now. If they grow well, they can produce three crops of melons." Ye Mo said.

"Growing watermelons is really a technical job." said the eldest lady's mother.

Ye Mo smiled: "It's quite simple to manage."

"By the way, I've already contacted 11 people for you." The uncle said, "I'll be here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, uncle." Ye Mo said.

The first batch of custom-made watermelons was not much.

But the number of watermelons planted in the second batch was much larger.

Now, a large number of watermelons in the field are ripe and have to be picked.

The elder uncle waved his hand and looked at Lin Xiaomian: "Go over and help me dig the soil tomorrow."

"Hey." Lin Xiaomian nodded.

Ye Mo gave them watermelon seeds...

Before, they wanted to plant watermelons on the mountain, but Ye Mo shook his head after seeing it.

Now that the weather is hot, the time needed to raise seedlings is much shorter.From sowing seedlings to customization, it only takes about 15 days.

Madam and the others are in the field on the mountain, not to mention the distance, there is no water source, and irrigation is inconvenient...

The local rainy season usually lasts until the middle and late May.Planting watermelon on the mountain, without water irrigation, cannot survive.

Ms. Ma and the others have contracted a few pieces of wasteland, about 4 acres, and they will start digging up the wasteland tomorrow.

It is now April, and according to the local climate, the best time to grow watermelon seedlings should be March.If you don't work overtime, you won't be able to grow watermelons...

Hard day.

The most comfortable time at night...

Eating crayfish, drinking beer, and relaxing.

We are full of food and drink, and we have to get up early to work tomorrow, so we all go back to bed early.

Ye Mo did the same. After tidying up the kitchen, he went upstairs, took a shower, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and called Gao Yuan: "Hello, Mr. Gao."

"what?"

"Do you want watermelon tomorrow?"

"If it's cheaper, I want as many watermelons as I have. But 5.5 yuan per catty is too expensive..." Gao Yuan said, "What's the matter, Boss Li won't accept it?"

"I have a lot of watermelon here. If you want it, I'll give you some. How much does Boss Li have and how much does he want?" Ye Mo said.

Gao Yuan snorted: "As expected of the big boss. How many more will there be tomorrow?"

"Ah."

"What about the price?"

Ye Mo said: "The price hasn't been set yet. We will set the price after we come to see the goods tomorrow."

"He purchases 5.5 yuan per catty, and he purchases so much, I don't know how he sells it. I could only give you 1 yuan for your watermelon." Gao Yuan said, "It's because Li Xuebin gave you 4 yuan. Just followed."

Ye Mo smiled and said, "The watermelons that Boss Li purchased must have been sent to Guangdong."

"Tomorrow's quantity, how big is it?"

"Tomorrow, it is expected to pick more than 100 tons." Ye Mo said.

"I might lose money for this batch of watermelons purchased at 5.5 yuan. If it is cheaper, I will think about it." Gao Yuan purchased only 12.7 tons of watermelons this time, and they are on the way to Chongqing.

During this period of time, the temperature in Chongqing is higher than that in Chengdu, so watermelons should be easier to sell.

Gao Yuan said that the purchase price of watermelon at 5.5 yuan per catty is too high.If Ye Mo's watermelons were not of really good quality, he wouldn't even want them...

Too much risk.

"Let's see Boss Li's quotation tomorrow." Ye Mo said.

"Well. Are Jin Meiren and Jin Linglong mature?" Gao Yuan said, "If they are mature, leave some for me."

"Golden Linglong will be picked the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. There are not many plants, only a few hundred." Ye Mo is a little embarrassed: "Boss Li has already ordered Jinlinglong watermelon."

"I don't want much, just one or two tons."

"Golden Linglong is only four or five tons in total, and I will leave one ton for you."

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "The most important thing is the netted melon, let me know when it's ripe."

"Okay." Ye Mo agreed.

There is Li Xuebin's line, and Gao Yuan's line must be stabilized.

Many friends, many paths.
