Chapter 224 Big Watermelon Order

Ye Mo called his uncle and the others to come and help.

Chen Chen and the others also put down what they were doing and ran over to take a look.

There are two particularly large watermelons inside, which are obviously larger than other watermelons.

Father Ye, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Eldest Uncle worked together to lift the watermelon onto the scale.

One of them was 303 catties, just over 300 catties.

Zhang Yuanqiao was in pain and joy.

That is to say, if you just exceed the threshold of 300 catties, you have to pay an extra 5 yuan.

The other one looked about the same size, but only weighed 298.7 catties.The difference is only 1 catty and 3 taels, which means a loss of 5 yuan.

Zhang Yuanqiao patted his chest, thinking: no loss, no loss...

230 watermelons under 27 catties.2 yuan each, 54 yuan.

260 watermelons under 33 catties.3 yuan each, 99 yuan.

300 watermelons under 17 catties.5 yuan each, 85 yuan.

300 watermelon over 1 catties.10 yuan each...

The total should be 248 million yuan.

However, there are some watermelons inside, which Ye Mo thinks are hollow.

Obviously it looks big, but the corresponding weight is wrong.

These watermelons were not loaded directly into the truck, but were sent to the reservoir to get the watermelons into the water.

A solid watermelon will float on the surface of the water, but only a little bit of the exposed part of the water.

Through flotation, Ye Mo judged that 16 watermelons were hollow, and 11 of them were watermelons selected from winter melon seedlings as rootstocks.There are 4 pumpkin seedlings as rootstocks... and 1 gourd seedlings as rootstocks.

Ye Mo opened one, 223 catties, and the part that surfaced was obviously a little bit more than the others.

After opening it, there was indeed a gap of a cross in the center of the watermelon.Not many hollow ones...

The flesh of the melon is not bad, and the sweetness is quite high.

"This watermelon is hollow, so the other 15 must be hollow too." Ye Mo said.

"Pity."

16 hollow, fortunately the two largest melons are not hollow.

However, 300 melons weighing less than 8 catties were hollowed out.

Eight melons under 260 catties were empty.This is 8 yuan...

Tang Xun and his family's house only cost so much to install, which is equivalent to a house.

The remaining 15 melons that Ye Mo wanted to destroy were stopped by Li Xuebin and Zhang Yuanqiao.

"Such a big watermelon, even if it is hollow, is still valuable. If you don't want it, give it to us." Li Xuebin said.

"Boss Li, you are not authentic. These are obviously the watermelons I ordered. Even if they are hollow, they belong to me." Zhang Yuanqiao said.

Li Xuebin chuckled: "You don't want so much, share some with me."

Ye Mo hesitated for a moment, and said, "I have to label these watermelons with hollows, and they can only be exhibited."

"I know." Zhang Yuanqiao nodded: "These watermelons of mine are all for events, and they need to be opened on the spot. If they are hollow, it's not smashing your own signboard."

This year's super big watermelon could have been sold for 248 million yuan, but because of the hollow core, it only earned 176 million yuan.

Compared with 176 million yuan and 248 million yuan, there is still some gap.

Leaving Zhang Yuanqiao for lunch, everyone went back to rest, and Ye Mo called Madam Xiaomian: "Madam, I have received an order for a big watermelon. Now I am going to buy watermelon and plant fish fry. It is a bit too late. Can you give me some of your seedlings?"

"Okay, how much do you want?"

"800 plants." Ye Mo said.

"That's a lot." Ms. Xiao Mian still nodded, she had about 2200 seedlings, 800 were given up, and there were 1400 more.

Besides, these seeds were all sent by Ye Mo... Ye Mo opened his mouth, and he couldn't help but give it.

"I only need 400 watermelons for this batch of orders. I brought back 800 seedlings to prepare to cultivate more seeds for next year." Ye Mo continued: "In addition, the price of watermelons over 10 catties is 1 yuan per catty. You Has 4 acres of land been reclaimed over there?"

"Yes." The eldest lady nodded.

"The rest of the seedlings, you spread out and plant some. 350 plants per mu will be fine. When the melon vines start to grow and the watermelon expands, I will prepare some trace element water-soluble fertilizers for you to make the watermelon grow as much as possible. When the watermelons are ripe, I will ask Boss Li and Gao to help them sell them. The price can reach at least 100 yuan per catty between 150 and 5 catties. The average price of 150 to 200 catties can reach 10 yuan. More than For 200 catties, the price can reach more than 15 yuan per catty." Ye Mo said.

The larger the quantity, the cheaper the price will be.Ye Mo didn't dare to speak too highly of them...

The 400 large watermelons he received required more than 200 catties each.The price starts at 20 yuan per catty. If it happens to be 200 catties, then it will be 20 yuan per catty.If it is 217 catties, it is 21.7 yuan per catty... 231 catties per catty is 23.1 yuan per catty.

If it reaches more than 270 catties, it will be calculated separately.

Still very good. 400 watermelons, at least 160 million yuan.

Summer is coming soon, with high temperatures and a lot of rain, so it doesn't take much effort to plant these big watermelons.So, this order can be accepted.Anyway, in the following time, Ye Mo's main energy will be on the melon field, and there will be hundreds of more plants, which is just a matter of incident.

The price Ye Mo told Mrs. Xiao Mian was already a relatively low price, and it would definitely be sold.

Madam Xiao Mian also nodded happily: "Okay, we will manage those watermelons carefully this year."

"You can tell us more about how to manage it." Uncle Xiao Mian was also listening, and said.

Ye Mo nodded: "When the watermelon is planted, I will tell you how to manage it... In addition, the cultivation of large watermelons is a secret, so you can't tell others. Only a small quantity of large watermelons can be sold at a high price. If there are many It’s probably cheaper than the twenty or thirty catties of watermelon.”

"We know." The uncle said, "The watermelon seedlings will be planted in two days."

"Okay. By the way, how much organic fertilizer do you prepare?"

"Part of the organic fertilizer has been given away. There are still 4 tons left."

"4 tons of organic fertilizer is not enough. If you want to specialize in cultivating super-large watermelons, you must have enough materials for the organic fertilizer. Let's buy another 6 tons. I also want to buy organic fertilizer, and I will help you transport it back by the way."

The two nodded.

These watermelons, if they grow them themselves, are not sure that they will grow to a hundred catties.

But with Ye Mo's guidance, it will definitely work.He has already grown three hundred catties of watermelon.

If it's just 1 to [-] catties of watermelon, it's not bad if you can sell it for [-] yuan per catty.But when it comes to a hundred catties, the price will increase five times...

If there are one thousand large watermelons of one hundred catties, each is 500 yuan, and one thousand is 50 yuan.

Watching the big lady and the others leave, Lin Xiaomian came over: "What are you talking about with the big lady?"

"Boss Li's client needs a batch of large watermelons." Ye Mo said, "I asked Madam and they asked for 800 melon seedlings."

"Oh." Lin Xiaomian nodded: "The big watermelon order, can you give some to the lady."

"I can grow a super big watermelon because I used a nutrient solution I prepared myself." Ye Mo said, "When I make the nutrient solution, I will send some to the aunt and the others so that their watermelon can also grow to the size of More than 400 catties." Ye Mo smiled and pinched Lin Xiaomian's face, and said, "Mr. Li only has 200 customers, and they are more than [-] catties. Make nutrient solution for the aunt and the others, and those watermelons grow to [-] catties There is no big problem with the above. At that time, we can let Mr. Li and the others help with the sales..."

Lin Xiaomian nodded with a smile, "Thank you."

"What are you talking about? I'm going upstairs to rest soon, and I have to pick melons in the afternoon." Ye Mo said, called the fertilizer dealer, and ordered 30 tons of organic fertilizer and 1000 catties of urea.Urea, nitrogen fertilizers... are the most common fertilizers.There are also some potassium and phosphate fertilizers.

in the afternoon.

Uncle and the others continued to pick melons.

Ye Mo turned on the excavator, found a flat place in the durian forest, and turned the soil out...

After three o'clock in the afternoon, the fertilizer was delivered, and the organic fertilizer was applied to the soil first, all over the region.Then give a lot of organic fertilizer around the planting point of the melon seedlings...
