Alpine Orchard

Chapter 318 Trouble Picking Durian

Go to bed early and wake up early to be in good spirits.

The workers also got up early, had breakfast and came to the greenhouse area to start a new day of work.

"Master Zhang, Master Song... Dad, come here." Ye Mo shouted.

Lin Shan and the others came over: "What are you doing?"

"Help me carry the watermelon." Ye Mo said, "Pick the watermelon to see if it's ripe."

"Let's go."

When he came to the melon field, Ye Mo picked the smallest one and carried the watermelon onto the stretcher.

There are stretchers made of sacks, which are specially used to carry watermelons.

These watermelons are too big, most of them weigh more than two hundred catties.Ye Mo picked the smallest one, got it to the warehouse and weighed it, it was 183 catties.

Such a big watermelon is not easy for two people to lift. It needs to be put on a stretcher or put in a basket to carry it away.

The watermelon is big, and the skin of the watermelon is also very thick.The only way to tell if a watermelon is ripe is from the vines.As for knocking these watermelons, it's hard to tell.

Judging by the vines, these watermelons should be ripe.

Ye Mo took out his mobile phone to record a video, and the father-in-law took a watermelon knife and cut the watermelon in half.

The flesh of the melon is completely red, and the maturity is about [-]% to [-]%, which is just right.

But this watermelon is relatively 'small'.Not necessarily those watermelons weighing more than 200 catties.

Ye Mo sent the video to Li Xuebin and typed: "These watermelons are picked the morning after tomorrow."

"The big watermelon is in the warehouse. If you are thirsty, come and eat watermelon." Lin Shan went to work and said loudly.

"Yes." Zhou Yue on the roof of the shed heard it, and responded loudly with a smile.

Ye Mo then left and called Lin Xiaomian: "Are you up yet?"

"I'm up, I'm eating."

Ye Mo then called his father and asked him if he had anything... and called him to come over and help.

When I got home, Lin Xiaomian was washing the dishes, waiting for the dishes to be washed, and went to the durian garden together.

I don't know how durians on other trees are judged to be mature.The durians here have a strong smell and smell... Where there is a durian smell, just go and try one by one. The durians that can be unscrewed are ripe.If it cannot be unscrewed, it is not mature yet.

Ganyao durian, even when mature, is still green.

"Husband... There is a durian that fell here." Lin Xiaomian saw a durian on the ground, ran over with a smile, looked at Ye Mo: "I'll eat it."

Ye Mo scratched his head involuntarily: "Eat."

I didn't do much work, so I thought about eating first.

"Your knife, use it for me."

Ye Mo threw the keychain over, Lin Xiaomian picked it up, put a knife on the keychain... and opened the durian.

As soon as the durian was opened, Ye Ran came over: "Sister-in-law."

"Come and eat durian." Lin Xiaomian shouted: "This one dropped by myself, it's very fragrant."

"I can already smell it." Ye Ran trotted over.

"Dad, Mom." Ye Mo shouted.

The two said 'hmm'.Mother Ye walked towards Lin Xiaomian...

Dad came over to Ye Mo: "How can you tell if the durian is ripe?"

"Smell..." Ye Mo said.

"Smell?" Dad's head was big.

Ye Mo is also very helpless, he doesn't know how to judge whether he is mature or not.

They are all green skins, and they look similar in appearance.

Ye Mo's phone rang: "Boss Wei?"

"Yesterday, I picked a few durians from your place that hadn't smelled yet. After taking them back overnight, the smell came out." Boss Wei said, "The durians like this are almost ripe on the tree."

"No smell?" Ye Mo said, "I don't really understand."

"It's a nine-ripe durian." Boss Wei said.

"How do you tell when someone is nine mature?" Ye Mo asked.

"Durians that fall naturally are fully ripe, that is, ten ripe. Nine mature, almost the durian that is about to fall." Boss Wei said: "Fully ripe durians usually fall naturally at night. The durians on your side, The smelly ones should be [-]% and half ripe. If they are not picked, they should fall naturally at night. [-]% ripe, you can’t smell the smell outside, but you can eat them after opening, and the smell inside is relatively strong.”

"How to tell?"

How to tell if durian is ripe or immature, I really don't understand.

Even if these durians fall naturally, the peels are all blue, which is about the same color as the durians on the tree.

Just now, Lin Xiaomian picked up a durian that fell naturally on the ground and was eating it. The peel is blue.

"Use your thumb and forefinger to pinch the two adjacent thorns on the durian skin." Boss Wei said, "If you can pinch it, it's ripe, almost nine ripe. If you can't pinch it, it's not ripe yet. Find some thorns." Squeeze the durian that is different, and open it to have a look."

"Okay, let me try..."

According to what Boss Wei said, Ye Mo started pinching the durian thorns.Squeeze the thorn, push it hard...

The durian peel is very hard, Ye Mo squeezed six or seven of them in a row, and finally one of them can be squeezed, this durian can't smell... The fruit stem is also very strong, Ye Mo cut off the fruit stem with a knife, and opened it.

It's not that I can't smell the smell, but that I can't smell the smell because of the distance.Putting the nose against the durian, there is still a relatively strong durian smell.

The moment the durian opens, the smell comes out.Moreover, the smell is also very strong, Ye Mo smells a bit offensive... There is an obvious smell similar to metal rust.

"Lin Xiaomian, Ye Ran... There is a ripe durian here." Ye Mo brought the opened durian to Lin Xiaomian and the others.

Ye Mo's mother also likes to eat durians. The durian she picked up just now fell naturally. After opening it, there were only two rooms of big meat and one room of small meat, which was not enough to eat.

The durian opened by Ye Mo is even worse, one room is big meat, two rooms are small meat.

It may be the reason for the large number of fruit in the first year. The quality of these durians this year is particularly poor.

Waiting for Lin Xiaomian and the others to eat durian.

Ye Mo told them how to tell if a durian is ripe or not...

"Squeeze one by one?" Lin Xiaomian's eyes widened.

"Yeah." Ye Mo nodded.

"It's so troublesome...or we can just wait for these durians to mature and fall from the tree by themselves, so we can pick them up in the morning." Lin Xiaomian said: "It is said on the Internet that durians usually ripen and fall at night. They don't fall during the day... Let's get up earlier, the durian trees here are not tall, so they won't be damaged if they fall."

"Uh... Let me ask Boss Wei." Ye Mo said.

"Why don't you ask. It's too troublesome to pinch one by one, or to find them by smell. We're not dogs..."

Ye Mo looked at Lin Xiaomian, he was really speechless, and called Boss Wei: "Hey, Boss Wei...it's too troublesome to find durians one by one. The durian trees here are not high, and these durians will not be damaged if they fall naturally. ... Well, we want to wait for these durians to fall naturally. Durians fall at night, right... You don't know? Let me observe here... If they fall at night, we will pick them up at dawn. Then send it to Boss Li for quick freezing."
