Chapter 379: From the Spiritual Spring [Fourth update, please subscribe]
Tang Xun, Ye Zhi, Chen Chen... were fighting against the landlord outside the warehouse.
When several people saw the car approaching, they put down their cards.
"Boss Li and Boss Zhou come over to take a look at your watermelons," Ye Mo said.
Ye Zhi said: "The watermelons here are very beautiful."
Tang Xun handed Li Xuebin and the others cigarettes, and also handed one to Ye Mo. The group went into the greenhouse and asked, "Have you negotiated the price over there?" Tang Xun walked beside Ye Mo and asked in a low voice.
"It's settled."
"What's the maximum size of the Kirin watermelon we have here?"
"The maximum is 9.5 yuan." Ye Mo said.
Kirin watermelon is also a very popular watermelon, especially as a gift melon...
Tang Xun took a deep breath.
9.5 yuan per pound, it’s about to take off.
"Special grade only costs 9.5 yuan." Ye Mo whispered.
"The watermelons I have there are so beautiful, they must be special."
Ye Mo smiled and shrugged, it was not easy to reach the special level.
Those watermelons sold in the market for more than ten or twenty yuan per catty are almost special grade.
It’s not easy to think about the price difference of the same watermelon by ten times.
Although Tang Xun's watermelons also enjoy some spiritual springs, they may not be able to produce super-grade watermelons.
Special watermelon has not only its appearance but also its inner meaning.
"How's it going?" Ye Mo walked up to Li Xuebin and the others and asked.
"It's okay." Li Xuebin said, "It's better than the one at Niu Yougui."
The same seedlings, the same greenhouse... but different management, the watermelons produced will be different.
These differences are mainly due to irrigation and temperature control management, as well as supplementary light...
"Let's take a look again when it's mature. If it's good, it can go to the first grade." Li Xuebin said: "By the way, the price of a special grade melon is 8.5 yuan, and the price of a first grade melon is 6 yuan. If the watermelon seeds are all black, add another piece.
money."
Zhou Minghai gave Ye Zhi and others the drawings of watermelon quality grading regulations.
"Only to level one?" Ye Zhi asked doubtfully.
He felt that the watermelons in the greenhouse were already very beautiful.
Li Xuebin was very patient and explained the existing situation to him, then went to Tang Xun's greenhouse.
Tang's father and Tang Xun's father-in-law were inspecting the second crop of melons in the greenhouse. When they saw a group of them coming over, they put down their work and followed Li Xuebin and others to look at the watermelons...
The watermelons here in Tang Xun are pretty good. Especially the one-vine and one-melon greenhouse. The shape of the watermelons is similar to that of Uncle Xiaomian’s, but the watermelon vines are more tender.
"Yes, it is possible to reach the special level." Ye Mo said with a smile.
"The watermelons from your uncle's place are also very good." Li Xuebin said: "Why are the watermelons here most likely to be of special grade?"
Li Xuebin looked at the watermelon. He only looked at the watermelon and did not pay attention to the vines.
Ye Mo compared the watermelon vines with his little finger, then pinched a watermelon leaf and said: "The watermelon vines here are thicker, and the watermelon leaves are thick and crisp. The watermelons from my uncle's place look good, but if they are special grade
For melons, it depends on luck. The watermelon vines here are better, and when they mature, the watermelons should be sweeter."
Li Xuebin took a closer look and found that the watermelon vines on Tang Xun's side were closest to those on Gaoshanping.
"Really?" Tang Xun looked at Ye Mo.
"The next few days are a critical period. Temperature control and light supplementation must be done well. Water once tonight, don't water too much... After this watering, no more watering can be done until picking." Ye Mo said.
Tang Xun explained in detail how to water.
"Should I add some soluble fertilizer?"
"No need. Just water directly..." The water should be poured in the aisle, not directly at the roots of the melon vines.
Ye Zhi was a little confused. After Ye Mo finished explaining, he said: "Is it possible that the watermelon I have over there can reach the special grade?"
"This... is still a week away from maturity. I don't know if it can reach special grade." Ye Mo said, "If you manage your time well later, you should be able to pick out some special grade watermelons. The whole batch of special grade watermelons,
It may be difficult.”
Ye Mo has some experience growing watermelons.
The tenderer the watermelon vines and leaves look, the tenderer the watermelon flesh will be... These are all experiences.
Ye Zhi also took a closer look at Tang Xun's watermelons and found that... they were indeed better than his greenhouse.
"The management of our two greenhouses is pretty much the same." Ye Zhi said, "Why do the melons and vines on his side look tenderer?"
Ye Mo shrugged and said, "I don't know. Maybe it's because of the soil quality."
The reason for the soil quality?
Tang Xun’s greenhouse is very close to Ye Zhi’s greenhouse.
The biggest reason must be management.
Finally, we went to Chen Chen’s greenhouse. The watermelons in the greenhouse were terrible to look at...
It's a bit exaggerated to say it's terrible. Compared with Niu Yougui's, it's a lot worse.
Real effort shows in the subtleties. No matter how hard you work, you will gain...
Tang Xun's greenhouse is indeed better.
"We're going back. Please be more stable in the future." Ye Mo said, "Don't cause problems."
"Yeah." Tang Xun nodded.
Ye Mo and Boss Li went back to Gaoshanping, went down to the ground to catch crayfish...
Tang Xun and the others were no longer in the mood to play cards and were chatting.
"I have told you before, place the heater opposite the exhaust fan. When the heater sounds at night, get up and turn on the fan to make the temperature in the greenhouse reach a uniform temperature quickly. If you don't listen..." Tang
Xun looked at the resentful looks on Ye Zhi and Chen Chen's faces, but felt excited and nervous inside. He opened the album and looked at the detailed introduction of the watermelon quality grading regulations.
It is still not easy to reach the special level.
However, Ye Mo said that the watermelons here have a high probability of reaching the special grade standard...
Special-grade Kirin watermelon, with black seeds, costs 9.5 yuan per pound.
The Kirin watermelons he has here weigh about 5.7 kilograms each and are evenly sized.
In this case, a watermelon costs 54 yuan. A greenhouse with one acre can produce more than 7,000 kilograms.
A greenhouse with one plant, one vine and one melon, covering 10 acres, costs at least 660,000 yuan.
One plant has two vines, two melons... The shape of the melon is still good, but the vines and leaves are a little different. The shape is very beautiful, but it is not certain whether the interior can reach a special level.
If it reaches the special level, after picking the first batch of watermelons here in Tangxun, the cost will be recovered. The investment in greenhouses, fertilizers, warehouses...etc.
Not only the cost is recovered, but also profit is made.
"Soluble solids should be the sweetness, right?" Chen Chen asked.
"Yeah." Tang Xun nodded: "The sweetness in the center of the watermelon needs to be 11, and I don't know if it can be reached. With such an indicator, as long as one indicator fails to meet the standard, it is not a special grade."
"Can the watermelon from Ye Mo reach special grade?" Ye Zhi asked.
"There should be no problem with him..." Tang Xun just went to see Ye Mo's watermelon yesterday, and it was super good.
"How does he manage it? Even if the output is high, the quality is still so good."
"It's probably because of the greenhouse. His greenhouse is big."
