Ye Mo still remembers that Li Xuebin said that if the second crop of muskmelon could be of the same quality as the first crop of muskmelon, he would give it thirty.
Cantaloupe costs 30 yuan per catty. I dare not say that it is the most expensive in China, but it is also one of the most expensive.
I saw a video before, saying that the most expensive melon in Bameng is sold in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and the price is as high as 40 yuan per catty.
Melon is what Ye Mo and others call cantaloupe here.
As for the melons on the Internet that cost hundreds of thousands of pounds per pound, or even melons that cost tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars each...those are cantaloupes and reticulated melons. It is understandable that melons cost several hundred yuan a piece in big cities.
Some high-end fruit stores sell them.
But melons that cost thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands each, not to mention ordinary people, even for many rich people, only exist online.
Moreover, fruits worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands per piece or 1 catty are usually sold at auction.
In China, there are many fruits that cost tens of yuan per kilogram, such as cherries and seedless lychees, which are very expensive.
But cantaloupe sells for 30 yuan per catty, which is still the wholesale price in the field. It can be described as incredible.
People who grow fruits must hope that the price of their fruits is as high as possible. Ye Mo is no exception...
But the price of 30 yuan per catty of cantaloupe is estimated to exceed 50 yuan per catty when it reaches the market. Ye Mo doesn’t think that his cantaloupes are not worth the price. The taste of these cantaloupes is really good, and they can even be said to be the best ones he has ever tasted.
Cantaloupe...and Ye Mo couldn't imagine the taste of a better cantaloupe than this.
Ye Mo still thinks that 30 yuan per kilogram of cantaloupe is too expensive.
To be honest, Ye Mo didn't have much hope as to whether it could be sold for 30 yuan.
…
After leaving the melon field, Ye Mo drove the car to the villa.
The construction of the villa is progressing very quickly, and part of the second floor has been capped off.
The main part of the building will definitely be completed next month.
"Hey." Ye Mo was about to leave when his cell phone rang: "What are you doing?"
"It's my birthday tomorrow, so I'll come over for lunch." Tang Xun said.
"Okay." Ye Mo said, "Would you like to buy you a big cake?"
"No. I have an oven at home, so I can make it myself." Tang Xun said with a smile, "Just bring me some crayfish. By the way, are your cantaloupes ripe? Bring me some more cantaloupes."
"When it's mature, we'll start selling it tomorrow." Ye Mo said.
"How is the taste?"
"It's about the same as a cantaloupe."
"Bring me some more, I've been craving those melons for a long time."
"Okay. Is it enough to carry a bucket?"
"Enough." Tang Xun laughed and said, "By the way, how much does this batch of cantaloupe cost per catty?"
"We haven't negotiated the price yet." Ye Mo said, "Has your greenhouse been built yet?"
"Not yet. We have only built seven or eight acres... There are many things at home, so we should take care of the pomegranates at home first." Tang Xun said: "It's still early for seedlings anyway, so don't be in a hurry. When will you order fertilizer? Give it to us by the way.
Order some.”
"Recently, I order fertilizer when I have time," Ye Mo said.
"How much organic fertilizer is needed per acre for high-density cultivation in greenhouses?"
The organic fertilizer in the greenhouse is not easy to be lost, so add more organic fertilizer at one time.
Watermelons are very fertilizing. The greenhouse here has been built in Ye Mo, and they will be planted every year in the future, so they need to be given more fertilizer.
"My plan is to use 7 tons of base fertilizer per acre," Ye Mo said.
"so much."
"I grow a lot of ripe melons. If I don't provide enough fertilizer, it will be too troublesome to add fertilizer later. I just give more fertilizer at one time." Ye Mo said.
"Nowadays, slightly better organic fertilizers cost more than 800 yuan for 1 ton. 7 tons cost 6,000 yuan."
"If you don't want to give up your children, you can't trap the wolf." Ye Mo said, "High returns, high investment."
"Seven tons is too much."
"The specially purchased organic fertilizer is about three tons per acre, which should be more than enough. I am preparing to cultivate the land." Ye Mo said.
When Ye Mo planned, he picked the first batch of watermelons in November and the first batch of cantaloupes in December... In April next year, he picked the last batch and planted another season of super large watermelons...
Super large watermelons don't have too many spiritual springs. If they grow normally and grow to twenty or thirty pounds each, there shouldn't be much of a problem. Moreover, these watermelons don't need to be managed very well.
Ye Mo tried to plant lazy watermelons before. He directly dug a hole, added fertilizer, put the seeds down and buried them in the soil. Those watermelons also grew, weighing twenty or thirty pounds each. And in a few days, they will be
Can mature.
Those watermelons have only been sprouted a few times without much management, and they are still growing very well.
Watermelons that do not require easy management are commonly known as lazy watermelons.
If you can plant a season of lazy watermelon next year, the extra fertilizer will not be wasted.
Of course, the main output is winter melons.
Ye Mo told Tang Xun his thoughts.
"You are the big boss now. I have no workers here and the area is not large. Planting watermelons in summer is too annoying... I only produce melons in winter and spring." Tang Xun said with a smile: "Winter and spring.
Melons in season are expensive. Melons in summer are too cheap.”
"Whatever you want." Ye Mo said, "I grow lazy watermelon in summer."
“What is lazy watermelon?”
"No seedlings, no grafting... Just plant the watermelon seeds directly," Ye Mo said.
"Is this possible?" Tang Xun said, "By the way, are you still building a warehouse?"
"Yes." Ye Mo said.
"How much does the warehouse cost?"
"400 yuan per square meter." Ye Mo said: "The simplest warehouse."
"We also need to build a warehouse here. Let's work together when the time comes." Tang Xun said, "I'm going to build a 120-square-meter warehouse here for stacking things."
Ye Mo looked at the villa under construction, went back and started the car: "Although the warehouse I built is not very good, it is not particularly bad. The warehouse you have over there doesn't have to be too good, it just needs to be similar to the warehouse at your home.
chant."
"The warehouse at my home is more than 300 square meters per square meter."
"Calculating it this way, your melon fields are priced. If the output is not good this year, will you cry?"
"Yes." Tang Xun said with a smile: "To be honest, I am really stimulated by you. If you can't make money from this greenhouse, I will definitely show it to you."
"What are you doing? Why don't you come over and play?"
"Lie in the swimming pool, why don't you come over and take a dip?"
"No, your swimming pool is too small." Ye Mo said, "Boss Li will be coming over later, let's negotiate the price with him."
"I'm going out soon to build a greenhouse." Tang Xun said: "Let me tell you, I am really annoyed... My father, my father-in-law, is addicted to fishing every day and can't help himself. I asked them to come over and help me build the greenhouse. They
You can only move in the morning."
"My dad and father-in-law are not the same. They don't see anyone every afternoon..."
"Stop talking, let's build a greenhouse."
"Okay, hang up."
We chatted on the phone for more than half an hour, and my phone was getting hot.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Mo drove around the mountain and went back to the big reservoir.
It's past seven o'clock.
Lin Xiaomian and her mother are feeding crayfish.
Today's large green shrimps cost 30 yuan per catty. Such expensive crayfish can be estimated to cost more than 50 yuan outside.
Ye Mo often wonders who is consuming these crayfish.
Ye Mo used to have a very narrow vision.
Now Ye Mo... his horizons are not very broad.
Going to Xuanwei this time has broadened my horizons a little bit.
Xuanwei Ham, the first store Ye Mo and the others visited, had a 47-pound ham for 215 yuan per pound.
But there are better hams in other stores, four-year-old hams, 480 yuan per pound. There are even more expensive hams...
As for who should consume those hams.
Take Ye Mo himself for example. If he hadn't built a greenhouse and a villa...then he would have wanted to consume the 4-year-old ham.
As for crayfish costing more than 50 yuan per catty.
If Ye Mo lived in the city and had money...as long as he knew the food tasted good, he would have consumed it, and he would have consumed it frequently.
If you don’t eat the crayfish on this mountain for a while, you’ll get hungry. Especially when you want to drink beer, beer and crayfish go hand in hand.
