Chapter 517
Cheng Yue chose a few baskets of big watermelons to take away, and taught Old Man Li and the others which ones to pick.

Not long after staying in the melon field, after picking the watermelons, Cheng Yue and Cheng Wen left, and asked Shanshui to take everyone to pick a batch of watermelons first.

Xue Hanyu thought it was fun, so he followed Cheng Shun to pick watermelons in the melon field.

"Sister, sister, are we going to sell watermelons today?"

While driving the car, Cheng Wen turned his head to look at the several round baskets of watermelons in the car.

That look clearly expressed that he wanted to eat very much.

Da Hua, who was sitting in the carriage, also pursed her lips. She also wanted to eat it. She just ate one piece last night. The taste was really good.

"Well, if you order a set meal today, you will get one free piece. If you want to buy it, let's make a note first. After lunch is ordered, I will go back to the village to get it!"

Cheng Yue nodded.

"Sister, can we eat when we eat?"

Cheng Wen asked again.

"Of course, let's eat three watermelons at a time, we will definitely keep our fill, one for each person!"

Cheng Yue laughed.

"Uncle Cheng, girl, I can't eat that much!"

Dahua was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved her hands and said anxiously.

This melon is bigger than her head. Although she wants to eat it, she really can't!

"Dahua, if you can't finish eating, I'll help you eat! You can eat vigorously after a while, let me know if you can't finish eating!"

Cheng Wen said cheerfully.

Don't look at him as a fool, he is very obsessed with eating, and he has calculations in his heart.

The three of them usually eat lunch together, and Dahua can only eat two bowls of rice, so, in Cheng Wen's view, this little girl eats less.

There are a total of three watermelons to eat, one for my sister, one for myself, and half of one for Dahua at most.

Hehehe, so happy!
Dahua was relieved when she heard what Cheng Wen said.

Otherwise, wouldn't she be stuffed to death if she was asked to eat a big watermelon?
Cheng Yue has been thinking about a question along the way, which is how to set the selling price of their watermelons.

She had already asked Cheng Wu when growing melons before, this watermelon is a rare thing in Daqi, and it was a bit expensive when it was first available, one tael of silver each.

The main reason is the high shipping cost.

Later, someone in Daqi planted it, but the fruit they produced was no more than that of their family's field, and the minimum was five hundred coins a piece.

Because of the water in their palms, the yield per mu of watermelons grown in their family is not much lower than that of modern times, and it is a phenomenon deliberately created by Cheng Yue.

Roughly estimated, the yield per mu is at least four thousand catties.

The watermelons grown in their family can reach about ten catties, and there are about [-] fruit-bearing plants per acre of land.

Together with the mountains and rivers, their family planted a total of [-] mu of melons, including [-] mu of watermelons, and [-] mu of melons and honeydew melons.

If it's six hundred acres, that's...

Calculated in this way, Cheng Yue felt that no matter whether it was sold by the catty or by the piece, it was a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the gate of the city, he was stopped by Cheng Wu.

Cheng Wu jumped into the car and said: "Brother, fat girl, I will go to the tavern with you, and let me tell you the price of this melon by the way!"

"Second brother, if you don't come, I will go to find you! I made a rough calculation in my heart, no matter how it is sold, we have to give it away!"

Cheng Yue was a little excited and drove faster.

"Isn't the purpose of planting melons at the beginning to grow?"

Cheng Wu said with a smile.

"Send it, send it, send it well, send it!"

Cheng Wen happily agreed with his younger siblings.
