Alpine Orchard

Chapter 222 Zhou Kang
Emerald cantaloupe, Ye Mo also plans to save some seeds, try to water more spiritual springs, and see if the seed genes can be stabilized.

But these are for the future.

Ye Mo took Secretary Luo and the others around the watermelon fields, explaining how these watermelons are grown...

Planting, grafting, seedling hardening, vine management, fruit retention, and when and how much fertilizer to apply.

It was also the first year for Ye Mo to grow watermelons, but during this process, Ye Mo read a lot of books on watermelon management.Theory plus practice, the current Ye Mo dares to grow watermelons by himself even if he doesn't have a spiritual spring.

"Planting in January, will the temperature be too low?" Secretary Luo is from a farming family. Although his family has never grown watermelons, they have at least a basic understanding of how to grow melons and fruits in the countryside.

"The planting was in February." Ye Mo said, "The temperature this year is good. Except for the few days when it rains and the temperature is remote, most of the time the temperature is conducive to the growth of melons and fruits."

It rained in February and March, very very light rain, and there were still a few days of cloudy days.

Ye Mo continued: "Look at the weather forecast, mainly the weather in Dongmen Town. There is a weather station in Dongmen Town. The distance from the nearest weather station to Dongmen Town is about seven or eight kilometers in a straight line. If the weather is severe If there is any change, cover the melon seedlings with plastic film in advance..."

These watermelons and cantaloupe were covered with plastic film three times this year.Once covered for one day, once covered for two days, and once for three days...

Plastic film, and not expensive.It's labor...

Hongshan Town and Dongmen Town are separated by the Jinsha River.

Dozens of acres of melon fields are filled with a faint sweet smell, with bees and butterflies flying around.

Speaking of which, Ye Mo hasn't applied pesticides yet.

Because of the large reservoir, the ecology on the mountain seems to have improved.

When he came here last year, Ye Mo rarely saw butterflies.

Now, there are quite a lot of butterflies on the mountain, especially white butterflies.There are white butterflies, the kind with two pairs of big wings and a big black spot on each...

This kind of butterfly was quite common when Ye Mo was a child.In recent years, quite rare.

After looking at the cantaloupe, I went to look at the netted melon.

It's not yet time to pick the netted melons, but they are very beautiful in size and appearance.

Secretary Luo and the others took a look, then said goodbye and left.

Chen Shan stayed. He has nothing to do now, so he helps label and load the melons.

Ye Mo also went back to pick melons.

……

in Guangzhou.

Ye Mo's first batch of melons has been delivered.

The purchase price of 18 yuan, after arriving at the market, passed the quality inspection and entered the market...

This batch of melons did not enter the store at all. After the quality inspection, they were directly taken to the warehouse.Someone is already waiting at the warehouse.

Marketing manager Zhou Kang entered the warehouse with the car.

"Bosses, the inspection has begun." Zhou Kang said with a smile.

More than a dozen people, including distributors and distributors, gathered around.

Some of them have seen samples before, and some have not...

The cold chain car was opened, and a sweet smell that could arouse people's appetite overflowed.

Zhou Kang brought out two boxes of melons and said, "I can assure you that this is the best melon in our market, bar none."

"Although the goods are good, the price is too expensive." A dealer complained.

"Good products are not afraid of expensive." Zhou Kang said: "The quality of this batch of melons, I shipped it for 30 yuan, which is already very cheap. If you don't believe me, ask the boss Kuang what the price of the top-quality melons he bought last year .”

Boss Kuang smiled, but said nothing.

Wei Youming looked at several local fruit distributors, their eyes were shining.

"Only this car?" A boss from Shenzhen asked.

"This is the first car, and there will be more in the future." Zhou Kang said: "The growth cycle of these melons is very long, and they can be supplied stably until mid-May. However, it is hard to say whether the price will be repaid in the future. These melons It’s a hot item, and our bosses are guarding the melon fields to grab it..."

"Is it so exaggerated? Open one and let me see." This boss from Zhuhai mainly distributes vegetables and fruits to Xiangjiang. He also found this place after hearing about such a batch of top-quality melons and inquiring about them.

This boss from Zhuhai is also the channel that Li Xuebin and his company are trying to open up.

"I'll open a few for everyone to taste, and then we'll talk about the quota." Zhou Kang said, took a knife to cut a few, and said: "The skin of the melon is very thin, you can eat it with the skin."

In the market here in Guangzhou, many people call melons, not muskmelons.It's all one thing anyway...

The moment the melon is cut, the aroma becomes much stronger in an instant.

Zhou Kang cut more than a dozen and said: "They are all super-excellent melons carefully selected, whether it is sweetness, aroma, or taste... I dare say that there is nothing better than this."

The big boss in Zhuhai gave a thumbs up and said, "Where are these melons produced?"

"The address on the label. These melons grow on a mountain at an altitude of 1300 meters..." Zhou Kang said as he took out his mobile phone: "Let me show you the video."

In the video taken by Li Xuebin, there are watermelon fields, muskmelon fields, and finally... unripe netted melons.

"There are some netted melons planted in Gaoshanping Orchard, but they haven't matured yet. Let's take a look at the color and appearance... Does it look like a Yubari honeydew melon?"

"Yeah." The boss from Shenzhen nodded: "It's pretty. Haven't you processed the video?"

"Shot directly, original quality."

"Then these honeydew melons are very beautiful. Are they red meat or not?"

"I opened one before, and it had greenish-yellow flesh. At that time, the honeydew melon was not yet ripe, but it was already very sweet, and the fragrance was also very unique." Zhou Kang then clicked on the next video and said, "Gaoshanping is a large melon in a big mountain. Here is the edge of Gaoshanping, look at these environments...the village at the foot of the mountain, the distant view. Gaoshanping is in Hongshan Town, Yancheng County, Dashan District. The boss of Gaoshanping is definitely a foolish person, a technical madman. Look This, the big watermelon cultivated by Boss Gao Shanping..."

"When is the video?"

"It was just filmed a few days ago." Zhou Kang said: "Boss Ye in Gaoshanping has a good relationship with our President Li. Hongshan Town where they are located is engaged in ecological agriculture construction, and our President Li promised to help them promote it, so we can Get a sale on these melons."

These big bosses smiled.

Boss in Shenzhen: "These big watermelons and the small watermelons before were cultivated at the same time, right?"

"The big watermelons were planted in December last year. But, these big watermelons were planted by Ye Boss for others. Guess how much each of these watermelons can be sold for?"

"Such a big watermelon, at least... two or three thousand." Bigness is one factor, and another factor is good-looking.

"One for 3 yuan." Zhou Kang took a bite of the melon, and continued: "It is extremely difficult to cultivate super-large watermelons in winter. Moreover, it is an edible super-large watermelon. In terms of taste... it is said that it can reach the previous flowering The taste is similar to that of watermelon. Even, the sweetness is higher."

"There's... something here." A few knowledgeable bosses said, "How many catties are these watermelons?"

"The smallest one is more than 180 catties. 80.00% is more than 200 catties... the largest is close to [-] catties. But the biggest watermelons are grafted with winter melons. Looking at the shape of these melons, they are not too beautiful." Zhou Kang said those The picture of the big watermelon was clicked.

"It's close to three hundred catties each. These watermelons... are already very beautiful."

"Such a big watermelon can really taste like the watermelons with peeled skins before, and can it be guaranteed not to be hollow?" asked the boss from Zhujiang.

"It can be guaranteed. These watermelons grow naturally, and it takes five months from planting to maturity."

"Is there any hormones? Such a big watermelon, looking at it, is a bit scary."

"Guarantee no hormones. These watermelons need to use a lot of high-grade organic fertilizers, at most urea, compound fertilizers, etc., and no pesticides are used. Those watermelons have also been tested before, and there are no pesticide residues." Zhou Kang said: "These watermelons are planted. Boss Ye will eat it. The growers can eat watermelons themselves, so you can rest assured."

Everyone smiled: "Yes."

"Now in this world... Some fish farmers dare not eat their own fish, and some chicken farmers dare not eat their own chickens..."

"How can you eat such a big watermelon? Three hundred catties... Based on the head count, at least it is enough for more than 100 people to eat."

Zhou Kang said with a smile: "These big watermelons are specially cultivated by the owner of a restaurant and resort, and used for events, such as large parties, weddings, banquets, etc. Dozens or even hundreds of people share them together .”
