Zeng Cheng decided to go and see the watermelon patch that was a little abnormal in his mother's mouth.

The watermelon field is in the southeast of the foot of Qilin Mountain, which was originally the edge of Zeng Cheng's cultivated land, and to the east is the mountain forest. And not far to the south, it is a machine farming road that bypasses Qilin Mountain and leads to the Cheng family's big courtyard.

However, now that the entire Qilin Mountain has been reclaimed as a farm, it can no longer be considered a marginal area.

From a distance, Zeng Cheng saw the situation of his watermelon field. As my mother said, there were round watermelons everywhere, almost covering the ground. Moreover, these watermelons are very large. Originally, selenium sand melon was known for being big, which could reach about 30 catties. But these melons in Zeng Cheng's field are obviously larger than ordinary selenium gourds.

Walking into the field, Zeng Cheng reached out and picked up a watermelon, and immediately felt very heavy, estimated to be no less than fifty catties. And this watermelon, among the many watermelons, is only a midstream level.

Zeng Cheng looked around, found a few melons that were significantly larger than other watermelons, picked them up again and estimated them, and found that the weight of these watermelons was not less than eighty catties. The largest of them, Zeng Cheng estimated that he was a hundred catties.

Because the growth of watermelons every year was not very good in the past, the planting density of Zeng Cheng's watermelons was not low, about two and a half acres of land, and there were 1,500 plants. Moreover, the watermelons left behind of each plant are not the usual one, but two or three. Therefore, in these two and a half acres of land, there are more than 3,600 watermelons in total. According to the average weight of each watermelon is 30 kilograms, which is about 110,000 kilograms, more than 110 tons.

When Zeng Cheng silently calculated this number in his heart, he couldn't help but be startled. Two acres of land produce 110,000 kilograms of watermelons, which is an average of 44,000 kilograms per mu. Under normal circumstances, the yield per mu of watermelon is only 6,000 kilograms to 10,000 kilograms, and the yield of Zeng Cheng's family is at least four times that of other places.

Zeng Cheng's brows also furrowed, and he was also a little worried, after all, this number was really a bit scary, and it was not easy to sell it. It's already mid-August, which is the peak season for watermelon sales, but it can't withstand the large output. Even if the natural freshness period of selenium gourd is as long as 50 days, plus the difference in ripening period, there may be about 70 days for Zeng Cheng to sell, but in the end, Zeng Cheng still has to sell at least 1,500 kilograms of watermelon every day, which is not a small number.

And it's not just watermelons that need to be sold, but also vegetables.

Nowadays, there are indeed not many vegetables produced in Zeng Cheng's vegetable field, and all kinds of vegetables add up to one or two hundred catties a day. However, the bigger way for vegetables is in the herb space. There, Zeng Cheng planted more than 20 acres of vegetables, and the yield of various vegetables was even higher than that in Zeng Cheng's vegetable field. After calculation, the weight of the vegetables that mature every day in Baicao Space is not less than 1,500 kilograms, or even more.

In particular, Shicheng is not a big city, and the population of the entire urban area does not exceed 100,000. Under such circumstances, Zeng Cheng felt a lot of pressure to sell 1,500 kilograms of watermelons and vegetables of the same weight every day.

Moreover, because of his confidence in the quality of his own vegetables and watermelons, Zeng Cheng does not plan to sell them cheaply. According to his plan, even the least valuable vegetables he would sell for less than four yuan per unit.

Zeng Cheng knew that this sale of vegetables and watermelons was a huge test for himself. This sale must be strategic, otherwise not only will it not be able to sell so many vegetables and watermelons, but it will also cause a lot of economic losses.

Everyone wants to get off to a good start, and Zeng Cheng doesn't want his first battle to run the farm to be over.

At the same time, Zeng Cheng also decided not to grow vegetables in the Baicao space in the future. First, this may reduce the service life of the grass space, and second, the sales of vegetables produced on the 150 acres of land on his own farm are enough for him to be busy. Of course, the main thing is to avoid the danger of exposing the grass space.

After walking around the field, Zeng Cheng found that some of these watermelons were ripe, and in order to taste the taste of these watermelons, he picked two fifty catties and picked them, and then carried them home one in one hand.

So, after lunch that day, each worker was given a large piece of watermelon of about two catties.

Originally, many people didn't want to eat because they were too full at the dinner table before. However, after hearing the praise of other people who had tasted the watermelon, they couldn't help but eat the watermelon they had shared. As a result, many people were held up and didn't want to move.

Fortunately, there was a half-hour break after lunch, and the watermelon was digested quickly, and when it came to work in the afternoon, except for a very small number of people who were still unable to move, the vast majority of people did not miss work, otherwise they would have lifted a stone and hit their feet.

Zeng Cheng's family naturally tasted their own watermelon, Zeng Cheng was okay, he had long expected that the watermelon produced by his family was definitely not ordinarily delicious, but Zeng Cheng's parents were a little uneasy. It's not that they haven't eaten watermelon from their own fields in the past few years, and the taste is generally a little reluctant. Therefore, even though the annual production of watermelons in their own fields is not high, they are still worried about the sale of watermelons. Every time, the price is lowered by the vendors who come to buy it, and it is even a dime or two lower than the price of other people around.

Don't say that one or two corners lower is not low, considering that the price of large-scale acquisitions is only three or four corners, these two corners mean that the price is almost half lower than others.

In fact, it is not only Zeng Cheng's parents who are not calm, but also many villagers who work in Zeng's family. They also used to eat watermelons produced by Zeng Cheng's family, and at that time, people who worked in Zeng's family, as long as they were a little bit tricky, were reluctant to eat watermelons produced by Zeng Cheng's family.

In fact, just now, several people didn't want to eat the watermelon they were allotted, but after seeing that everyone else was eating it with relish, they tried to eat a little. Then, they were completely mesmerized, and after eating it quickly, they wanted to ask for it again. It's a pity that Zeng Cheng picked back all of them, so he had to give up. But they all asked Zeng Cheng to pick a few more and eat them when they came back for dinner. In this regard, Zeng Cheng agreed very simply, there are so many watermelons in the field, I don't care about eating these few.
