Alpine Orchard

Chapter 289
Ye Mo was about to go over to help feed the crayfish when Li Xuebin drove over.

"President Li." Ye Mo shouted with a smile.

"Hahaha... Mr. Ye." Li Xuebin got off the car, looked at the workers who were still building the greenhouse, and said with a smile, "The progress is not slow."

"It's been three days, and the 3-acre greenhouse has not been finished yet."

"Go, take a look at the melon."

The two talked and laughed and went to the melon field.

As for the greenhouse, to be honest, construction only started yesterday afternoon.

And they have to catch crayfish in the morning, so there is too little time to work in the greenhouse.

In the melon field, you can faintly smell the sweetness of the melon.

Li Xuebin went in to find a ripe cantaloupe, took out the toilet paper and wiped it, and just took a bite.

The emerald cantaloupe grown by Ye Mo has a particularly thin skin and is very crisp and tender.It can be eaten with the skin on...and it doesn't have the slightest bit of bitterness.

The melon flesh under the rind is sweet and delicious.

Some of the meat inside began to melt into sugar, and after one bite, the mouth was full of sweetness.

"This batch of cantaloupe is indeed sweeter than the first crop." Li Xuebin ate the cantaloupe, continued to look at the shape of the cantaloupe, and picked a few more: "I will take these back to eat. Your cantaloupe, my wife likes it very much." , She has been asking when these melons will be ripe." Li Xuebin smiled and said: "The melons are good, the shape is a little bit worse than when they were first cropped, but it doesn't affect it, 30 yuan per catty, it's ok."

"Really 30 yuan?"

"Businessmen keep their promises. As I told you before, if the quality of this batch of melons is the same as that of a batch of melons, I can give you 30 yuan per catty." Li Xuebin said with a helpless look.

"30 yuan per catty, you can still make money?" Ye Mo was really shocked.

"In the market in Guangzhou, the wholesale price of cantaloupe at 30 yuan is not one or two points worse than yours." Li Xuebin said with a smile, "I should be able to make money here, just not much. "

"Boss Li is very generous."

"What's the atmosphere. Who asked me to brag about you before, and I can't forget the bragging." Li Xuebin had a depressed expression on his face: "These melons are good, I don't make money to help you sell them. Wait. When the winter melons come out, you have to let me earn some."

"Yes, yes." Ye Mo said with a smile: "I want to build this greenhouse, but I'm short of money, so I'm worried."

"This greenhouse has to be done well. Watermelon, cantaloupe, netted melon in winter... are expensive." Li Xuebin said with a smile.

What he values ​​most is his relationship with Ye Mo and the output of these greenhouses.

Buying it back at a price of 30 yuan per catty, no matter how good these melons are, it is still stressful for Li Xuebin.

As far as he said, who made him brag before.You shouldn't lose money, but you can't make much money either.

"Reticulated melons need too much heat to mature, and the growth cycle is long. I only plan to plant reticulated melons in a greenhouse, about 3 acres." Ye Mo said: "The profit of growing watermelons and muskmelons in winter, I feel, is even greater. Higher."

"I went to see the Red Star Farm a few days ago, where watermelons are grown in greenhouses. I heard from their technicians that... watermelons in winter can be produced in a batch in about a month, and four or five batches of watermelons can be produced." Li Xuebin said : "If you can do what they do, the profits from growing watermelons will be scary."

"Yeah." Ye Mo nodded and said, "I thought so too, a batch of watermelons will be produced every month..."

"Grow more types of muskmelon." Li Xuebin said with a smile, "If this variety is always available and can be supplied for a long time, even if I collect it for 30 yuan, there will still be a certain profit."

"I'll try my best." Ye Mo looked at the time: "You probably haven't eaten yet, go to my house for dinner."

"You're not eating. I'm not hungry. When it comes to eating, I feel empty in my stomach. Hahaha..."

It's not too early.

Ye Mo and Li Xuebin left the melon field and went to the netted melon to have a look.

Net-patterned melons, when there are only one batch of melons, belong to the top-quality net-patterned melons, and they are not particularly outstanding.

Netted melons are sold all year round.

When it is cheap, it costs a few yuan per catty.In summer, if it costs more than 1 yuan per catty, it belongs to the best (gift level).

In the market, it costs more than [-] yuan or even more, and the purchaser... can only give a dozen or [-] yuan at most.

Fruit sales, the risk is not small.

The cantaloupe here can cost 30 yuan because it is the only one.There are also emerald melons in other places, but in terms of aroma, taste, etc., they are not a little bit worse.Only this one has the pricing power.

And the netted melon here, although it is also very good, belongs to the gift level.But in other places, gift-grade netted melons can also be grown.

"It's almost time, get off work." Ye Mo shouted when he came to the shed.

"Let's do it for a while." Master Li said.

Master Liu said: "The cement that has just been reconciled, use up the cement before leaving get off work."

"Don't be too late, you have to get up early tomorrow." Ye Mo said with a smile.

"When you're done, call it a day."

Leaving the greenhouse, Li Xuebin smiled and said, "You workers are pretty good."

"They are all buddies and friends of my father-in-law." Ye Mo said: "They are my uncles and aunts, and they must be tied up for me, a junior."

Li Xuebin nodded with a smile, the workers here at Ye Mo can do it.

Like picking watermelons before, the high temperature is more than [-] degrees, and the speed is still very fast.Several people even suffered from heat stroke.

Ye Mo did know that among these workers, there were parents and children.They want to make more money and endure hardships.

how to say.

Ye Mo's salary is really acceptable in their place.

back home.

Xiao Mian's mother just took a shower and was preparing to make dinner.

Now that the rice is cooked, let's cook.

"Mom, Boss Li is finishing his meal here." Ye Mo said, "Fry two more dishes."

"Okay." Xiao Mian's mother smiled and said, "Fried two pieces of ham?"

"Yeah." Ye Mo went over and took two pieces of lower ham, each weighing a little more than 1 catty, and handed it to the mother-in-law.

"There are so many hams, I'm hoarding them." Li Xuebin came over to take a look and said.

"I went to Xuanwei, I bought ham in Xuanwei." Ye Mo said and took out a few pieces of ham: "This is the bottom of the three-year-old ham. It is used for frying and eating. It is super delicious."

Li Xuebin took the ham: "It's so fat."

"It's only the fat ham that smells good. The farm pigs are fed with cooked food, and they have to be fed for more than a year." Ye Mo took three more bags of money, and a whole crown... The crown part is what we often call the elbow. .

"Enough is enough..." Li Xuebin said.

"I bought a lot, so I'll take two more." Ye Mo picked out two more bags of money for Li Xuebin, and said, "Money and the parts of the fire claws are perfect for making soup. Our family boiled three bags today, there should be About ten catties, there is no soup left."

Li Xuebin smiled and said, "I'll take it back and try it. How do you cook this soup?"

"Wash it clean, put it in a pot under cold water, and simmer for more than an hour. The lunch we ate was simmered for an hour and a half on low heat. The aroma makes your mouth water when you say it."

"Hahaha..." Li Xuebin thought about taking the ham back to the car, and said, "I've heard about Xuanwei's ham and cowhide before, but I haven't eaten it. These hams seem to be quite expensive."

"It takes several catties of meat to buy 1 catty of ham." Ye Mo said, and the father-in-law drove back.

Lin Shan drove the car into the shed, got down, and shouted with a smile, "Boss Li is here."

"I'm so busy, I don't come back until it's almost dark." Li Xuebin said.

"What are you busy with? I'm going fishing." Lin Shan said with a smile.

"Have you caught any fish?" Ye Mo said.

"It's a silver carp, more than ten catties." Lin Shan went over to open the trunk, took the fish out, and said, "Get cold pot fish."
