Tang Xun, Chen Chen and Ye Zhi were about to take a bath when they were stopped by Ye Mo and walked over.
"What other jobs are there?" Tang Xun asked.
"Help me clean up the melon vines." Ye Mo said with a smile.
"Let's take a rest and do it again tomorrow." Tang Xun said, "I'm exhausted."
"Tomorrow has things to do tomorrow." Ye Mo said with a smile: "By the way, let me tell you about wages. You have been helping here for several months, and you must not be in vain. I have also made a lot of money from this batch of watermelons. Everyone is here
I also remember the number of days we work here... My uncle and aunt's wages are 400 yuan per day. Any less than one day will be counted as one day. You guys, we are all brothers... I'll give you 300 yuan a day." When the watermelons are sold out,
It depends on how much money you earn. If you earn more, give me a big red envelope.
Chen Chen looked at them both.
He didn't want to take this money, and he couldn't take it. Ye Mo is his uncle now...
"I don't want what's mine." Chen Chen said, "What's my parents's is yours to decide."
"One code equals one code. Tang Xun and Ye Zhi each get three hundred per day, but yours only costs two hundred per day." Ye Mo looked at Chen Chen and said.
Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo with a smile: "Okay, Boss Ye is great and I'm full of energy."
When picking watermelons before, they used scissors to cut off the watermelons, and also cut off the old vines. That is, the vines that bear watermelons...
Ye Mo wanted to raise a second crop of melons, and he was supposed to start planting new vines ten days and a half before the watermelons were harvested.
An old vine that once bore melons will never bear watermelons again.
The second crop of melons must be grown on new vines.
There were no new vines left, not because we were too busy, but because there were already a lot of watermelons left on each vine, and leaving new vines would be too much of a burden for the vines, so we didn’t leave them. Besides, a vine with 5 melons,
Even if new vines are left, they will not grow well.
When picking watermelons, Ye Mo and the others also cut off the old vines, leaving only the vines at the base of the watermelon plants without fruit.
These melon vines are still sprouting new shoots.
There is enough fertilizer in the melon field, and the plants are still very vigorous, so they can set fruit again.
Several people started working again, combing out old vines, old flowers and leaves, yellow leaves, etc. and taking them out of the field to create a suitable environment for the growth of the second crop of melons.
My uncle and the others caught crayfish and came over to help.
Watermelon planting density is not high, but the melon vines grow particularly lush.
Some people cleared the vines, others dug ditches.
Father Ye borrowed a small tractor from the production team, hung a plowshare on the back of the tractor, and dug a deep trench in the corridor in the middle of the melon field.
Ditching is quick.
Clean the vine leaves and the deep ditch will be opened.
Generally speaking, early watermelons in greenhouses can be used to grow second-crop melons. It is not easy to grow better second-crop melons from watermelons in the field.
After finishing the work, we went home and it was past eight o'clock in the evening. Everyone was waiting for them to have dinner.
"Can you really grow two crops of melons?" asked the second aunt.
She doesn't know how to grow watermelons, but she has seen people grow them before, and it seems... watermelons can only be harvested once.
But Ye Mo wanted to raise a second crop of melons.
"The watermelon vines are still very vigorous. Besides, it's only April now. If they are well cultivated, they can still produce three more crops of melons," Ye Mo said.
"Planting watermelons is really a technical job," said the eldest mother.
Ye Mo smiled: "If you know how to manage, it's quite simple."
"By the way, I've already contacted people for you, 11 of them." My aunt said, "I'll be here at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, uncle." Ye Mo said.
The first batch of customized watermelons was not many.
But the number of watermelons planted in the second batch was larger.
Now, a large number of watermelons are ripe in the fields and need to be picked.
The eldest uncle waved his hand and looked at Lin Xiaomian: "Go over tomorrow and help me dig up the soil."
"Hey." Lin Xiaomian nodded.
Ye Mo gave them watermelon seeds...
Before, they wanted to plant watermelons on the mountain, but Ye Mo shook his head after seeing it.
Now that the weather is hot, the time required to raise seedlings is also much shorter. From sowing and raising seedlings to customization, it only takes about 15 days.
Madam and her friends’ fields in the mountains are far apart and have no water source, so irrigation is inconvenient...
The local rainy season usually lasts until mid-to-late May. If watermelons are planted on the mountain, they will not survive without water for irrigation.
Madam and the others have contracted several pieces of wasteland, about 4 acres, and they will start plowing the wasteland tomorrow.
It's April now. According to the local climate, the best time to plant watermelon seedlings is March. If we don't work overtime, we won't be able to plant watermelons...
A hard day's work.
The most comfortable time is at night...
Eating crayfish, drinking beer, and relaxing wholeheartedly.
After having enough food and wine, we had to get up early to work tomorrow, so everyone went back to bed early.
Ye Mo did the same. After cleaning up the kitchen, he went upstairs, took a shower, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and called Gao Yuan: "Hi, Mr. Gao."
"ah?"
"Do you want more watermelon tomorrow?"
"If it's cheaper, I can get as much of your watermelon as I want. But 5.5 yuan per catty is too expensive..." Gao Yuan said, "What, Boss Li won't accept it anymore?"
"I have a lot of watermelons here. If you want them, I'll give you some. Boss Li's side has as much watermelons as you want," Ye Mo said.
Gao Yuan clicked his tongue: "As expected of the big boss. How many more will there be tomorrow?"
"Um."
"What about the price?"
Ye Mo said: "The price hasn't been decided yet. I'll set the price after I come over tomorrow to inspect the goods."
"He purchased so much for 5.5 yuan per catty. I don't know how he sold it. I could only give you 4 yuan for your watermelon." Gao Yuan said, "It was because Li Xuebin gave me 5.5 yuan.
I just kept up."
Ye Mo smiled and said: "The watermelons purchased by Boss Li should be sent to Guangdong."
"How big will the quantity be tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, more than 100 tons are expected to be harvested," Ye Mo said.
"I may lose money on this batch of watermelons purchased for 5.5 yuan. If it is cheaper, I will consider it." Gao Yuan purchased only 12.7 tons of watermelons this time and is on the way to Chongqing.
During this period, the temperature in Chongqing is higher than that in Chengdu. Fruits such as watermelon should be easier to sell.
Gao Yuanlao said that the purchase price of 5.5 yuan per pound of watermelon was too high. If Ye Mo's watermelons were not of really good quality, he wouldn't want them...
The risk is too great.
"Let's take a look at Boss Li's quotation tomorrow," Ye Mo said.
"Hmm. Are Jin Mei and Jin Linglong mature?" Gao Yuan said, "If they are, leave some for me."
"Jin Linglong will be picked the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. The quantity is not large, only a few hundred plants." Ye Mo was a little embarrassed: "Jin Linglong watermelon, Boss Li has already made a reservation."
"I don't want much, just one or two tons."
"Jin Linglong only has four or five tons in total, leaving one ton for you."
Gao Yuan smiled and said: "The most important thing is the reticulated melon. Let me know when it's ripe."
"Okay." Ye Mo agreed.
There is Li Xuebin's line, and Gao Yuan's line must also be stabilized.
